What is the most memorable home run in your team's history that you have seen?

Question

it doesn't have to be a grand slam or a walk off.just one that stands out to you.

Answer 1

George Brett's homer in the top of the 9th against Goose Gossage and the Yankees in the Pine Tar Game.

Answer 2

Of all of the ones that I have witnessed, it would probably be Barry Bonds' #756 last year.  Regardless of how you feel about him, that moment was electric and the ballpark went crazy. Anyone who was there will never forget it.

Answer 3

Ozzie Smith's HR against the Dodgers, it was left-handed and Play-off game Winner. One of Jack Buck's Great Calls.Ozzie Smith has just hit a HR and the Cardinals Win the game 3-2.

Answer 4

I remember Kevin "Cowboy" Millar hitting a walk off last year. My father and I were there its the first walk off I have seen in person.

Answer 5

Scotty Pod's Walk Off Homer in the 2005 World Series game 2 for the White Sox.

Did not hit a homer all regular season and this was his second one in the Playoffs.

Answer 6

Bond's record breaking hr

Answer 7

Aaron Boone off Tim Wakefield to end the 2003 ALCS. One of my happiest moments in being a sports fan. A great end to a great series. I can still remember Boone beginning his trot with his hands up and Mariano Rivera crying on the mound after Wakefield goes walking off.

Best part about it: one of my best friends from college (and a fellow Yankees fan who grew up about four blocks from the Stadium) called it. No BS.

That moment NEVER fails to make me smile.  

Answer 8

dont watch the games too much but i did watch the homerun derby, and josh hamilton was abso-freaking-lutely AMAZING!!!!

Answer 9

Bobby Thompson Hr to win the pennant against the dodgers

or

Joe carter Hr to win the series agaist the sillies  

Answer 10

Bucky Dent's home run in the one game playoff.

By the way, I am a Yankee fan. The only reason my username is SFGiants_08, is because this is the name of my fantasy team.

Answer 11

Well one that I was actually at the game for was last year Dodgers vs Mets. Kemp goes deep......Betemit goes deep......Hong Chi-Kuo goes deep with his controversial bat flip. It was awesome!

Answer 12

Play-offs in 1985 - KC Royals vs. NY Yankees.

I lived in KC...............

Brett comes up to bat in the top of the 9th  @ Yankee Stadium --- and the commentators start to discuss how impossible it is to bat with Goose Gossage  pitching and they switch to discussing the next night's pitching match-up.

If the Royals win - there is no tomorrow night.   How sweet it was when George Brett hammered a line-drive in the upper deck at Yankee Stadium and the Royals were on their way to the World Series ( which they won!).

I went through the Baseball Museum at The Rangers ballpark and this homerun was played along with 24 others to make up the 25 most memorable homeruns in baseball.

Answer 13

There have been so many, but my favorite was not one of my favorite team's but my favorite player's. When I was young my favorite player was Rich Reese, a part-time 1B-OF on the Twins. In 1969, when I was 11, Dave McNally of the Orioles had won 15 consecutive games and was one away from the AL record of 16. The O's led the Twins 3-0 in Minnesota late in the game when Rich Reese came in to pinch-hit with the bases loaded. Reese hit a grand slam to win the game and snap McNally's streak. The fans gave Reese a lengthy standing ovation with multiple curtain calls. That was exciting. Reese stills holds the MLB record for career pinch-hit grand slams with 3.

Answer 14

1. robby thompson's "shot heard around the world" against the dodgers to win the pennant. but i am too young to have seen that one! so then it would have to be...

2. Big Papi's walk off against the Yankees in 4th game of the '04 ALCS. sparked that historic comeback!

Answer 15

Well my favorite team is the Astros and the most memorable homer I have seen was a walk-off. It was the 2004 NLDS at Minute Maid Park and the Astros were playing the Braves. They were going at it for 18 innings when in the bottom of the eighteenth, Chris Burke hit a game winning walk off home run to the Crawford Boxes. Burke got like 70 text messages the next day.

Answer 16

Mike Pizzia hit a home run in the bottom of the 8th. It was thye first game after 9/11

Answer 17

The walk off Hambone hit of K-Rod.

Answer 18

In the 2007 season when Marco Scutaro of the  Oakland Athletics hit a grandslam off of Mariano Rivera in the bottom of the ninth to give the A's a 6 to 3 win over the yankees.

Answer 19

The one that stands out to me is actually a Grand Slam and a Walk-Off

Game 7 ALCS 2003

Aaron Boone

Enough said really. The most clutch moment of his career, and against the Sox no less  

Answer 20

I always remember being at Comisky Park in the early 70's I first night game. A player on the other team hit a ball to centerfield and Ken Berry leaped over the center field wall making the catch landing in the bull pen. The umpire ruled he dropped it when he hit the ground and ruled it a home run. I don't remember what team or what player hit it but I do remember him clearing the wall.

Answer 21

Game 6, 2002 World Series.  The Giants were leading my Anaheim Angels 5-0 in the bottom of the 7th in Anaheim.  Two runners got on base with 1 out, then first baseman Scott Spiezio came up to bat, I said, "I don't think he'll be hitting a home run."  Well, I was gladly proven wrong.  He hit one that barely cleared the wall in right field, cutting the Giants' lead to 5-3, and that Giants lead became an Angels 6-5 lead in the next inning.

I will never forget Scott Spiezio's home run.  That was the final turning point in the 2002 World Series.

Answer 22

Chris Burke Walk Off 18th inning to Win it against the Braves. I Was there. It was truly amazing along with the Brad Ausmus HomeRun to tie it.

Answer 23

Game 4 ALCS in 2004.  David Ortiz did it that night and saved us from certain humiliation. It would have been awful to get swept by the Yankees that year after them ruining 2003..lol..

p.s I hate Bucky Dent...  :)

Answer 24

Kirk Gibson in 88 world series.  best home run of all time  

Answer 25

Bucky Dent in the one game playoff aganist the red sox

Answer 26

it was actually last night, in the Dodgers Vs Cardinals game.  top of the 9th, dodgers 0 cards 4, andruw jones, who i personally HATE because he cant hit a ball for his life, and who was just benched due to the recent addition of Manny Ramirez got up to bat to pinch hit.  my husband and i CRINGED at the thought of this r****d getting up to bat, and striking out like he usually does.  1st pitch, WHACK!  hits the ball, and it FLIES out into center field and nails a home run, getting the dodgers 1st run of the night, of course we didnt end up winning, but it did spark 3 more runs that inning.  it was amazing to me, it really made my night.

Answer 27

As a Dodger fan, this one is easy.  Kirk Gibson's 1988 walk off homer.  The guy had two bum legs and barely made it around the base paths.  I think the arm pump as he was going around was to help his momentum.

Answer 28

the most memorable homerun of all time was Ted Williams last at bat . . .  

but even I am too young to have seen that.

I'd go with a shot I saw Ernie Banks hit in Milwaukee County stadium in 1959 . . .  I think the ball is still rolling (it had an upward slice and was climbing as it got out of the park).
