In 1992, this Francisco Cabrera pinch-hit single ended that run, the Bonds era in Pittsburgh, and the Pirates' relevance in major league baseball for the next 2 decades. Quite a hit. Enjoy!

]]> In a 1989 game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Veterans Stadium, Cincinnati Red, Paul O’Neill fielded a base hit, couldn’t hold onto it, and kicked it, left-footed, back to the infield, to prevent baserunner Steve Jeltz from scoring.
