A moment that will likely never be topped. It is right along with 9/11, where i could tell you exactly where i was and what I was doing when it happened.

The most exciting sports moment of my life at that point. Amazing it's been so long.

I was at Rick's on Duval Street in Key West, surrounded by Miami fans, watching the game. Warren's at-bat was absolutely intense. When it happened, I grabbed a stack of bar napkins and launched them into the air. To this day, I have no idea how I didn't get my arse kicked—we were going completely nuts. The feeling was pure elation.

Same. I was a kid playing in a baseball tournament in Florida. I distinctly remember being confused when our parents suddenly started cheering and celebrating while we were on the field during a game. Our coach had to call a timeout

I was fishing at Lake Chicot with a girlfriend. The lake was quiet, and we had the radio on the game in the boat. When the Morris home run happened, we could hear loud cheers erupting from all the other boats in the vicinity. It was pretty cool.

My mom and I were huge LSU baseball fans, didn't miss a home game. I remember her checking me out of school for regionals. My grandfather was in the hospital, so my dad was up there with him. It was just my mom and I at house. Tim Lanier was my favorite player and when he stuck out, I lost it, said bad word and got sent to my room. I can still remember walking down the hall to my room and hearing my mom go nuts. Afterwards she said we need to go to church, made it to 4 o'clock mass and went to the hospital to visit my grandfather.

Not me; I was sitting along the 3B line.

I still remember exactly where I was, in the living room, thinking the game was over, ironing a shirt before a date, then I was jumping up & down and almost burned my shirt. I can't believe it's been 30 years ...or that I dated that butterface.

Best moment in the history of college baseball.



LSU has more than DOUBLE the National Championships since 1980 than every single team in college baseball.
That's the last 46 years.

I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing in that moment. Same thing for the Bluegrass Miracle. One of those watershed moments of a lifetime as a Tiger fan. TYFYS Warren Morris
