What was you doing up a tree? Creeping on a bbw? Just joking. But really why were you in a tree?

Goosebumps? Hell, I still get choked up watching it. There are few instances in my life I remember exactly where I was when they happened. This is one.

Was on I-12 on our way back to Baton Rouge after horse back riding in Hattiesburg with a group of friends. When he hit the HR we were hanging out the cars pumping our fist at each other. Others on I-12 didn't know what was going on. Fun times.

I was 12, and it was a great tree.

It was such a great game and looked like we should be able to tie it with runner on 3rd and one out. Then the guy before Morris struck out or popped out.

I suddenly felt we needed some luck while watching with dad and girlfriend (now wife). I noticed she was wearing a purple and gold necklace so I rubbed it for good luck. The HR happened within seconds later.

I wasn't even a teenager yet. This is my first crystal clear memory of baseball. I'll never forget where I was for 9/11, and will also never forget where I was for this HR.

I was lucky enough to be there. We got tickets the morning of the game as they issued a few hundred tickets for the right field bleachers. We drove up the day before hoping for a miracle to get tickets.

I love how people used to wear normal clothes to sporting events. It wasn’t until the last 20 years that people have to wear “Gameday” outfits. Never realized the shift happened until looking back at old highlights.

Watched on TV and changed the channel with 2 outs. Just couldn't bear to watch the loss. Changed back in two minutes and everyone was losing their minds. Just couldn't believe it.
