The 1992 Pittsburgh Pirates advanced all the way to the National League Championship Series, where they faced off against the Atlanta Braves. In Game 7 of the NLCS, with Atlanta down 2-1 and the bases loaded, Francisco Cabrera cracked a single to score David Justice and a sliding Sid Bream, who narrowly beat a throw home from Pirates left fielder Barry Bonds. This loss doomed the Pirates, who would not have another winning season until 2013.
