Driving home from the airport (Ryan) after annual training. I made an exception to allow soldiers to wear earphones to listen to the game, and the ones that did gave everyone scoring updates. We'd just returned from Fort Dix via C-130 transport plane. I was the senior officer of our group (1st Lieutenant 
) and waited until everyone had their various rides pick them up.
Mrs. Midnight showed up at the perfect time to take me home. I loaded up my gear, turned on the game and heard the last 3 batters.
True story - when Morris came up, I turned to Mrs. Midnight and said, "He's been hurt all year, because of the Olympics. He hasn't hit a homerun this season. He's due." *PING*
The rest, as they say, is history.

This is the strangest thing. As it happens, I had to work that day and had no way of listening/watching the game. I got off of work and went straight to my parents house (their house was very close to where I was working), I walked into the living room, my dad was watching the game, and the first play and only at bat that I watched was the home run that Morris hit. My dad went batshit and then I realized that I had witnessed the winning run.
