What's the greatest HR you've ever seen?

Question

I'm gonna have to go with Aaron Boone's home run.

-2003 ALCS Game 7

Answer 1

i have 3 favorites


1) derek jeters home run in the 2001 world series game 4 againt the arizona diamondbacks closer Byung-Hyun Kim.Derek Jeter, upon receiving a 3-2 pitch from Kim, hit an opposite field walk-off home run to give the Yankees a 4-3 victory and tie the series at two, making him the first player to hit a November home run and earning him the tongue-in-cheek nickname "Mr. November."

2) alex rodriguez's 500th homer

3) one word- BUCKY DENT!!!! (if your a true baseball fan you would get that)

Answer 2

On live TV it has to be Kirk Gibson in the first Game of the 1988 World Series vs. Dennis Eckersley. It was a pinch hit homer in the bottom of the 9th off the best reliever baseball had ever seen up to the time. Ironically an ex-Athletic Mike Davis drew a walk to put a runner on before the 2-run homer. As an A's fan, I nearly cried and every time I see it on TV I have to automatically change the channel immediately. As far as the best homer at a live game it has to be earlier this year when Marco Scutaro hit a 3 run jack of Mariano Rivera in the bottom of the 9th. The ball hit the foul pole and the we just went nuts.

Answer 3

june 26 1997, tony gwynn hits a inside the park home run off of mark guthrie of the dodgers. Watching gwynn run around the bases was funny. He hit a liner to left brett butler dove and i think pulled a hanstring so he could not get the ball i rolled to the fence and the centerfielder got the ball and gwynn had a inside the park homer. It was classic.

Answer 4

I was at game 2 of the 1969 World Series. I saw Don Clenndenon hit a HR. It was the first WS game the Mets ever won. Jerry Koosman pitched a no hitter for 7 innings and they won when AL Weis knocked in a run in the top of the 9th.

I also saw Reggie Jackson hit a HR against the Yankees when he came back after they traded him. It was his first game back at yankee stadium. It landed about 5 rows in front of me!

Answer 5

George Brett hitting an upperdeck homerun off Goose Gossage at Yankees Stadium to seal the sweep in the 1980 ALCS.

Answer 6

I've only seen this one on film...........I couldn't find the video to link here but I've copied a bit of the info on it........This WAS the most awesome home run ever hit..........

"Mantle was moved to center field when Joe DiMaggio retired from the Yankees following the 1951 season. He began to adjust to big-league play, and in 1952 batted .311 with 23 home runs and 87 runs batted in (RBIs). That season Mantle began to establish himself as one of baseball's premier power hitters. During one game against the Washington Senators, Mantle hit a ball completely out of Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C. Measured at 565 feet, the home run is believed to be the longest ever hit. The New York Yankees won the American League pennant and World Series during each of Mantle's first three seasons, from 1951 to 1953. During the 1952 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers, Mantle batted .345 with two home runs. In the 1953 Series, again against the Dodgers, he batted only .208, but hit two more home runs."...................CAT
