Fan reaction: Best Atlanta Braves moment I’ve witnessed live (Associated Content)

When I try to figure out what the greatest moment I have ever seen live from my Atlanta Braves, the list of possibilities aren't large.

It won't be replayed time and again on ESPN highlights, nor will it be enshrined in any sort of memorializing museum. But the game I attended attended contained, no doubt in my mind, one of the greatest, most dramatic, defensive plays in the Phillies' 128 year history. Without this win -- without this play -- the Phillies could very well have not won their second World Series championship ever.
