where was the shot heard round the world?

Answer 1

It took place on April 18, when 700 British headed for Concord, a town about 20 miles west of Boston.British General Thomas Gage had heard that colonial militia had a major weapons storehouse there. In reaction, he sent his soldiers to destroy it. Local spies got the news to the patriot group, the Sons of Liberty. On a prearranged signal, Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott set off on horseback to alert that the British were coming. At dawn the British troops arrived at the town of Lexington, near Concord, where 70 armed minutemen awaited the British advance. "Don't fire unless called upon," the captain yelled to his minutemen. "But if they mean to have a war let it begin here."Suddenly a shot rang out. To this day no one knows who fired this "shot heard around the world."

Answer 2

There were 2:

One was in Lexington, on April 19, 1775: the first shot of the American Revolution. No one knows who shot it or which side shot it, though.

The other was in the 1951 NLCS, where New York Giant Bobby Thompson hit the game-winning home run off of Brooklyn Dodger Ralph Branca, who wore #13. (At the Polo Grounds)
