My oh my, how the years have gone by
So many great memories
You young guys need to savor the moment because 25-30 years will pass before you know it.

And one of the pitchers for Miami that year is their current head coach.

I’m sure whoever uploaded it posts here.


If so, I'd love to know. I worked with him back in the late 80s. I moved to Kentucky and always carried Baton Rouge and LSU in my heart.

Not surprised he was the one that would capture this moment.

I graduated high school the same year. The quality of video made it feel like I was watching something from the 1960’s. Not criticizing the person filming….i just get why my kids say stuff I still like from the 90’s looks ancient.

The son (who filmed it) definitely posts here, not offten but he has an account. He shared this video a while back but I cant find the thread.

Awesome video.

I was 10 years old. Didn't really have much care about LSU Baseball at the time. But, they were playing in the World Series and that intrigued me, so I sat down to watch it with my Mom and Dad that day.

At some point (I think the 7th inning, or so) I remember Miami being up by enough runs to make me mad and think LSU didn't have a shot, so I decided to just go swimming in the new 3.5ft above ground pool my Dad had just bought and setup for the summer.

Suddenly, about 45 minutes later (i guess), I heard one of my neighbors let out an excited scream...then another neighbor...then yet another neighbor. I wasn't sure what was going on until my Mom came screaming out the back door jumping up and down saying "They won, They won!"

By the time I got out of the pool and into the house the dog pile was on.

Although I missed it live on TV that day, I now rarely ever miss a baseball game. Furthermore, I learned to never count LSU Baseball out of any game, at any point in time.

Luckily I learned my lesson at 10. Unfortunately, it was the Morris HR.

I was 12 at the time, shooting hoops at a buddy's house. At the start of the 9th my dad called my friend's house and told his mom to grab us and bring us inside to watch the finale. Ol' man knew something magical was brewing. What great foresight he had resulting in a core memory of mine.

Even all these years later, I still worry the 2B umpire is about to call Brad Wilson out.

That crowd noise explosion as it cleared the fence is bone chilling. Holy mackerel that was great!

I was 10 years old and remember watching with my dad. As avid FSU fans, we wanted LSU to beat Miami so bad. That moment is a core memory of my dad for me.

I remember my family was watching in the living room, I went to my parents bedroom to be by myself and watch the 9th. When Morris hit it I came running out game tied! It wasn’t until my family jumping and screaming I realized it was a homer! That game was so intense. Even from the tv screen.

Amazing! Hadn't seen that before. He must have had a flip phone camera.

Kinda surprised at how subdued the crowd seemed. Would have thought it was more like Tommy White's dinger against WF.

I thought I saw Josh Pearson in the stands early in that clip.
