“Nixon goes as far as he can go. He caught the ball! He caught the ball! I can’t believe it! What a catch by Otis Nixon!”
~Skip CarayIf you’ve been a Braves fan for long enough, you probably remember that call. It was July 25th, 1992, the Braves had won 12 straight, and they were in a close pennant race. In the top of the 9th, Andy Van Slyke crushed a ball that would have left the field had Otis Nixon not scaled the 10-foot wall at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium and brought it back.
