Fell out of a tree that morning. Celebrated the win while nursing some wicked scrape wounds.

If that video doesn't give you goosebumps, you're definitely not a Tiger fan!!!

That HR is a major iconic moment in college sports history. Any time you see a montage of big moments, that homer is included.

Non-college baseball fans who follow sports know who Warren Morris is.

I was at a Sears in Dallas with my parents. They were shopping for lawn equipment and I stayed in the TV department watching the last 2 innings

When he hit the HR I started yelling and running around yelling OMG and the Sales guy ran over asking what’s wrong.

Everyone was staring at me like I was a monkey

I was living in Tigerland at that time and the Tiger was my hangout. Todd opened the bar early that day for the game. Only about 10 or so of us showed up, hung over from the night before. One guy brought his 2 dogs. By the end of the game we were all on the edge of our seat. When Morris hit the HR we all dog piled in the bar, and I ended up getting bit by one of the guy's dogs. He was protecting his owner. I wasn't even mad. The little dog we had to hunt for, he ran off scared, Found him in the women's bathroom. I remember all that like it was yesterday.

Watching that video makes me feel old as shite. I was about 20 when that happened and that video looks like it was shot in the 70's

I was at home watching and my phone rang with a call from work. I thought, "you motherfricker, don't you dare call me in to work now..." They just wanted to say "how bout them Tigahs..."

One of the greatest moments ever! Got to meet him last year when he was dropping his kid off at same camp my daughter was going to. My Aggie wife had no clue and was laughing at me running over to him

I was bartending at Sammy's on Jones Creek Rd and remember the few people in there jumping up and down, hugging, and laughing at Cora laying in the grass.
