GeneralGeeWhiz 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Bobby Thompson died today at age 86. he hit the most famous homerun in baseball history. the only playoff game against the brooklyn/LA dodgers in our 130 year hated rivalry. down 4-2 going into the bottom of the 9th, Bobby stepped up with two outs and two on.... http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_leagu...?urn=mlb-263060 Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 he hit the most famous homerun in baseball history.Really? I don't know about that. What about Gabby Hartnett's "Homer in the Gloamin" back in 38 or even Magglio's HR in the ALCS in 2006. Those were pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites

Those were pretty good.both great, but the history between the dodgers and giants, and the rivalry was so intense at the time, it's probably the biggest home run in baseball history.Mazeroski's walk off against the Yankees would be #2 for me.

What percentage of people would even recognize the name Gabby Hartnett? I think your Magglio example is probably a joke; that's a joke, right? Edit: Yes, it was a joke.I think Thompson's probably is the most famous with a big reason because of the "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!" home run call. Others in consideration would be Mazeroski and Kirk Gibson and maybe Joe Carter, but that's Canada so it hardly counts. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 jeezus I was kidding. I don't even know the first example I posted, I googled it and copied and pasted it. I need a new identity so I can go around and not have everyone take me so seriously. Link to post Share on other sites
