You remember: Game 7; 1992 National League Championship Series; Barry Bonds firing home from left field; a lumbering Bream eluding the sweeping tag.

"In all truthfulness," Bream said, "there's that one play and that's a great thing. But the overall time I was in Atlanta and watching a team go from last place to first place, watching their minds change and watching the city come to life was such an exciting time.

"Yes, there's the play. But it was a platform for me to do a lot of great things."

And that journey has taken Bream, who will turn 48 on Sunday, to University Park, Pa., where he is in his first season as the hitting coach for the State College Spikes, the Pirates' Class A affiliate.

The results haven't been what Bream would have liked -- "I can't stand to lose and we've been doing an awful lot of that," he said -- but the experience has been rewarding.

"He loves coaching," Sid's wife, Michele, said. "He loves the interaction. I always thought he had a gift for coaching."

It has been a hectic couple of weeks for the Breams. Sid's middle son, Tyler, 18, received a baseball scholarship to attend Liberty University, Sid's alma mater, in the fall.

"He's really excited about it," Sid said. "Seeing some of the talent in this organization, there's no doubt my son could be playing here now. ... Who knows where my life would have been without going to Liberty, and I'm glad that he'll be under that same umbrella for several years."

Sid's oldest son, Michael, recently graduated from Liberty and was married over the summer.

"Now we can relax a little bit," Michele said.

Sid has especially enjoyed the time he has been able to spend with his youngest son, Austin, who is the bat boy for the Spikes. Clubhouses were usually closed to families when Sid played with the Braves in the early 1990s, so both Michael and Tyler were unable to experience life as a big leaguer. The same can't be said for Austin, who is already on the Pirates' payroll at age 14.

Sid has also used his professional career to tour the world and pass his faith-based messages on to the masses. He has even traveled to Kosovo to speak with the troops overseas.

"These are big-time opportunities," he said.

Also a big hunter, Sid has twice traveled to Africa and is hoping to make a trip to New Mexico during the offseason.
