Upon further review, I do not believe Series 2 depicts the action you state either (sorry). In that game, you note the Cubs CF going back to his position--that player is white (looks like Ashburn) and George Altman played CF that entire game for the Cubs, with Ashburn in LF.

It may have just been a pop-up to Zimmer or a can of corn to the OF where the runner simply elected to hold his base. That would make it really tough to pin down.

Ouch, good point on the pop-up, and I see what you mean about the camera angle being from first base and not behind home.

If the play IS a double, though, it opens up others I discounted, since play-by-play recorded them as LF or left-center. Getting a read on the Braves runner uniform # would make all the difference, but I'll take a shot anyway and update the post.
