I have a card autographed by Cabrera. I can't remember what year I got him to sign it though. We went to a ton of Braves games back then, starting in the Otis Nixon and Odabe McDowell days.

I was in a bar somewhere on the Coast.

Frankly, this was an ok moment. In 1992 MSU fans had bigger things to think about.

Scroll to 01:47:00 when MSU has #2 Bama on the ropes.
Scroll to 01:57:00 when the Refs blow the game and save Alabama
Little kids in Starkville where going nuts during this classic game

I was there Sec E up near the good seats. I remember the Bama fans at the trough worrying that they were gonna lose. Bamas defense was one of the best ever that year.

Yeah, I was there for that. So when you get to the 30th anniversary of us getting screwed by Bama Refs again feel free to make a post.
The Braves in '91 and '92 were pretty big on campus. Sid's Slide was a shared moment amongst a whole lot of us. You could hear people celebrating it around town.

I was 12, my dad had given up and gone to bed on the Braves, my mom stayed up with me. I think the first and only time I've ever cried over joyed over a ball game. Maybe until 2021, I shed a tear or two.
