I thought about throwing out some ideas, but I’m sure the question alone elicited an image of one in your mind. It can be regular-season or postseason. Give me good reason to crown you with “Best Answer.”

Bobby Thompson's The Shot is probably one of the most well known homeruns in history. It is so because of the call that goes with it.
With that said, every kid who has ever played Little League knows about Babe Ruth's called homerun in the 1932 World Series against the Cubs. The homerun extends beyond a game, a season, or the sport itself and is mythic and endeared in the hearts of baseball fans everywhere.
Notable mentions should include Carlton Fisk's Game 6 homerun in the 1975 World Series, Mazerowski's World Series winning home run to beat the Yankees. I would also include Joe Carter's homerun, David Ortiz's game 4 homerun in the 2004 ALCS.
I would include Roger Maris's 61st homerun against the Red Sox to break Ruth's single season record but as well known as the record is, the homerun itself isnt. Same thing with McGwire's 62nd homerun off Steve Traschel. I remember where I was when that happend, and at the time it seemed like the greatest home run, a shot that saved baseball. Instead, it's been tarnished by the steroids era.
At the end of all of baseball's great homeruns, and homerun hitters. Their is no player more famous, and no homerun more legendary than Babe Ruth's called shot.
Cheers

The Bobby Thompson home run , in the 1951 playoff game between the NY Giants, and the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Giants came from nowhere, and went to the WS, to face the NY Yankees.

1960 World Series, Bill Mazeroski launches a walk-off homerun in game 7 to clinch the Series for the Pirates over the Yankees. I can always picture the famous shot of him rounding third with his hat windmilling around furiously.

definite in reality I did as quickly as, not so very previously. What I enjoyed better than working away in spite of the shown fact that replaced into the cat interior the poem, representing, as a metaphor, i presumed besides, and animals are as plenty a factor of my existence as anybody is. i don't recognize if i'm pleased with being thoroughly feral, yet i'm not, in a strict experience, completely domesticated the two. super poem.

Thomson's 1951 NL playoff pennant winner against the Dodgers.
That or Aaron's Ruth-surpassing 715th.

Well in my opinion, it would be David Justice's HR in the 1995 World Series Game 6, for the 1-0 victory!
It's the most famous to me, living in Atlanta and the controversy surrounding Dave, leading up to that moment.
