The most memorable swing in baseball?
- Thread starter superwoman01

I am not a sports fan. However, wouldn't "Casey at the Bat" qualify as memorable?

A bit before my time bomber ... those homers against Arizona to tie/win games were incredible. Brosius, Tino, Jeter. Amazing. Soriano in game 7 would have been the game winner if not for Mariano hiccup.
Leyritz in 95 playoffs in extra innings was amazing.
Leyrits in 96 against Wohlers.
Tino grand slam against San Diego.
I remember Damon hitting the grand slam against us in 2004 to essentially lock up the loss.

For me at least. In order:
1. Gibsons HR.........Although I hated the 70s Dodgers. It was because as hurt as his Quad was I actually called it before it happened while sitting there with brother & friends and they all thought I was Nuts. For all the Hitting coaches that I argued with while I coached for over 15 years that say "ALL your power comes from your legs and rotation of the hips" I would say there's more than 1 way to skin a cat.....It was evidence what the laws of physics provide for when you have amazingly quick wrists, a strong Top Hand swing and the velocity of the pitch coming in.
2. Mike Piazzas...For all the right reasons
3.Johnny Bench's final HR....As well as WS HRs and All Star Game HRs He was my guy and For some reason at the time there was nothing better than watchin him go out with a bang.
On a Side Note
1.Show was a bitch you're right. But having a son who pitches has taught me more of the Pitchers mentality and I've softened over the years on how he handled that.
2. Carlton Fisks Game 5 HR annoys the shit outta me. .....F#^%ing Boston fans made it such a big deal when in the end it was MEANINGLESS....You lost the Series to the Bettter team(with the far superior catcher)
In the end that's the Beauty part of Baseball....There have been soooo many Memorable Swings
