I know this is a longshot, but I'm looking for any kind of footage of
that particular inning.

I met my (future) wife at a party during the 1999 NLDS , game 4 to be
exact, and we were all hoping for a Braves sweep. It didn't work out
that way, but meeting her that night just about took the sting out of
the Braves' loss.

I've mentioned to her a couple of times how unlikely it was for us to
meet at that moment in time, but I don't think she really
understands.

If the Braves lose game 3 of the NLDS they're down 2-1 and probably
don't win that series. In any case that means NLCS game 4 isn't on
that particular Saturday and I probably never get off my couch and
never meet her.

If you recall that particular inning it's one of the most miraculous
inning in all Braves history. (i.e. I owe Walt freaking Weiss a ton)

So I want to show her that inning before we get married. Just so she
knows (and I get a free pass on Braves related stuff from here 'til
the end of time).

I checked MLB.TV's "greatest moments" video archive to no avail and it
seems to be missing from YouTube as well. Sorry.

Maybe here: http://www.leechvideo.com/tag/1999/5/

I can't launch the video at work so I'm not sure what the highlights
are.
