Baseball's Most Memorable HRs

What a shock, it's another Yankee blowjob courtesy of SI.

Simply because of how much of a roller-coaster game it was, PK's GS is the biggest HR to me and by far the most memorable. I punched the damn ceiling as it flew over the wall in left-center. Easily the most memorable moment to me.

 

You...punched the ceiling? How small is your house?

It's an 8 foot ceiling. I'm 6'4.

My most memorable HR (games I was at) had to be Joe Crede's Walk-Off against Cleveland last September.  :cheers

 

I wish I was at that game

 

that has to be my favorite regular season game I have ever watched ;)

I don't care what anybody says. As far as World Series homeruns go, Joe Carters' homer to me, was the greatest homerun in a World Series ever. To hit one in a game 7, in the bottom of the 9th, to win a World Series is every kids dream and the perfect timing.

 

As far as the Whitesox homerun, I would consider Blums to be huge. The guy barely gets an at-bat for about 3 weeks and to hit one in your ONLY AB in the playoffs (yet alone the W.S.) in the longest W.S game in history was simply amazing.

 

Kirk Gibson's was the best I have ever seen. This quote comes from Baseball America about the home run:

 

The Dodgers line-up crept within 4-3 in the sixth, but still trailed by one in the bottom of the ninth with no one on. With the A's ace reliever, Dennis Eckersley (forty-five saves) on the mound Oakland figured it was over, but the resilient Dodgers weren't going down without a fight. Pinch-hitter Mike Davis managed to force a walk, but Lasorda sent in a crippled Kirk Gibson to bat for their reliever Alejandro Pena. At first, the decision appeared completely irrational, but somehow the outfielder worked past his pain and launched a bleacher blast (with a 3-2 count) for the game winning run. It was the first time a World Series game had ever been won on a come-from-behind home run in the last inning and the fact that Gibson could hold his stance, let alone swing the bat made the blast even more amazing.
