Francisco Cabrera (baseball)

Francisco Cabrera Hernandez (born October 10, 1966) is a former Major League Baseball catcher/first baseman who played five seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Atlanta Braves, from 1989 to 1993.

Cabrera started his career with the Toronto Blue Jays, playing three games with them before being traded to the Braves for Jim Acker in the middle of the 1989 season.

Cabrera is credited[citation needed] with hitting the home run that marked the turning point in the history of the Atlanta Braves.

With two outs, David Justice doubled, and Brian Hunter walked to bring Cabrera to the plate with the tying run.

Cabrera hit a line drive over shortstop Jay Bell on a 2–1 pitch to left field that scored David Justice and Sid Bream, who barely beat a left-field throw from Barry Bonds to win the pennant for the Braves.
