I have to go with Joe Carters Homerun in the world series. Its not possible to hit a HR bigger than one that wins the world series for you and your team.
Whats your guys opinion?

Not my team, but Gibson with the Dogers is one of my strongest memories as a kid.
That HR does it for me.

I've gotta go with Bill Mazeroski's shot to end the 1960 World Series. It was bigger than Joe Carters for several reasons.
- It was the first walk-off series ending home run.
- It was in Game 7.
- The Pirates had just come back to tie the game with five runs in the 8th.
- It was against the Yankees who had Maris and Mantle.
- Forbes Field was a cavern compared to SkyDome.
- Mazeroski was never known as a home run hitter. He was a gold glove shortstop who had a good batting average.
- The Pirates hadn't won a title since the 1920's. The Blue Jays were the defending champions.

My choice is Bill Mazeroski's home run to win the 1960 World Series for the Pirates over the Yankees. That one tops Carter's shot because it was game 7 of the Series. Those are the only two homers to end World Series in history.
As far as DRAMATIC home runs go, I will vote for Carlton Fisk's home run off the foul pole above the Green Monster in Fenway to win Game 6 of the 1975 Series in the 12th inning.

I will have to go with Bobby Thompson's shot heard around the world off of Ralph Branca in game 3 of a 3 game playoff between the Dodgers and Giants in 1951.
The Dodgers where winning 4-1 in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and the Giants rallied for 4 runs in the bottom. It was truly story book.

Barry Bonds if he continues to be healthy ought to smash the homerun checklist and officaily would be acknowledged because of fact the all-time chief. Thats stats. he won't in any respect get the honour that Ruth or Aaron has gotten and that i consider that. Ruth placed up astronomical numbers twelve months in and twelve months out whilst he became an entire time participant and Aaron became the form of consistancy. Barry Bonds became a HOF participant earlier the steroids controversy, however the main compelling stat is it incredibly is he has had maximum of his carrer years after 35...and no participant ever has achieved that. He became a occupation .280's hitter and averaged interior the .330 selection after 35. He averaged over 40 six HRs from 200o to 2004...with 40 six being his occupation extreme earlier 35. McGuire gets interior the HOF at last after the furor dies down, yet his call would be perpetually tarnished. Rose is a different tale. In baseball, the main heinous crime you could commit is playing. Pete Rose knew this to boot as all and sundry. I understand him as a participant and a man or woman. He performed the interest extra solid than all and sundry I ever observed and became between the only right ball gamers I ever observed. yet playing on baseball, extraordinarily on your very own team, in spite of if its to win, in baseball words is comparable to the loss of existence penalty....and Rose knew that. It became the only rule you couldnt smash and Rose did it besides.,so the punishment fits the crime. i think sorry for Rose, yet he made his very own mattress, now he has to lie in it

Kirk Gibson- Although the Tigers or Dodgers are not my team if you remember these are both hard to argue with.
In the eighth inning of Game 5 of the 1984 World Series
Game 1 of the 1988 World Series against Oakland...his only plate appearance.
Both were against HOF pitchers on the biggest stage. (when Goose Gossage gets in)
Joe Carter....that one was big too.

I have to go with Kirby's walk-off, game 6 of the '91 World Series. It didn't win the series, but it pushed it to a game 7. It was awsome, watching him run the bases pumping his fist. My greatest Twins memory EVER!

For me as a White Sox fan - it is a Scott Podsednik in Game 2 of the 2005 World Series. A walk off for a guy who did not have one during the regular season. It was unreal sitting in the stands for that game. The fact I was there is probably why it means so much to me.

Teddy Ballgame homering in the last at bat of his career; it is a storybook ending that could have only been better if he would have won the WS on that HR. The greatest hitter of all time hit a home run on his last at bat and then rides off into the sunset.

I agree with Dick F Thompsons homerun has to be one of the best of all time. "The Giants win the pennant the Giants win the pennant". The greatest call of a homerun.
