Warren has it. Saw a special on CST or something about Morris and they showed the ball in his home.

I was at my buddy's townhouse off Boulevard de Projects, sitting on a couch. I levitated off so high that my head went into the ceiling fan. Then I cried like a bitch. (joy, not pain)

Clearly remember it to this day. We were sitting in the grandstands on the 3rd base line. I swear my dad was the first one screaming in the whole stadium. I was lucky enough to have been there in 1996 and 2000. Two great finishes.

I stood up to see if it was fair as my seat was in the last row of right center field. All I saw was the right field line ump raise his hand and start making circles. I nearly shite my pants. Best $3 seats, ever!

Was watching by myself in Merritt Island, FL (not many Tiger fans around) and remember the wind was favorable to RF so as soon as Warren hit it I knew it had a chance and then . . .
ROOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!!

(I'm pretty sure I was heard in Miami)

Every time I see the video, I can't watch it just once. I'm stuck watching it about 10 times.

I was in high school and was umpiring a kid baseball game(my dad was the assignment secretary for the youth baseball association, thanks dad!) But my buddy and I were able to listen to some of it on the radio in between innings. As soon as our game was over we both hurried home and were able to watch the last 2 innings. I know I've never jumped that high since!

LSU won EVERY game Morris played in that year. I dated his girlfriends room mate that year and got to chat with him a few times. He had a wrist injury and only played in 33 or 34 games.

Morris was clutch all year.

I was 7 years old sitting at home with my dad watching the game and as soon as he hit it I jumped up screaming and pretty sure I almost hit my head on the ceiling fan.

Morris hit it off Morrison and said "Who's your daddy, bitch?"

Chills! And I love the sound of those bats.

I was at my Aunts, had about 20 people watching... All I remember is the room going nuts.

Warren grew up across the street from me in Alec. So I took special pride in the moment. This HR also secured a spot for him on the 96 Olympic Baseball team. I emailed a link to this thread to his brother. I'm sure he will get a kick out of reading all these stories.

Morrison (Miami) actually lives here in Cumming, Georgia and gives pitching lessons to young ball players. I have been tempted to ask him about it, but have not as I am sure it stings like hell to this day and always will.
