I am stealing this question from the Net54 boards as I thought it was an interesting question. What are the top 5 coolest, dramatic or memorable home runs you've witnessed in person? List YOUR 5 you saw live. If you have a video or newspaper link...go ahead and post that as well.
Here are mine: I think....
1. Ryne Sandberg game Cubs vs. Cardinals June 23, 1984 Wrigley Field
2, Ryne Sandberg game Cubs vs. Cardinals June 23, 1984 Wrigley Field
3. Doug Frobel Pirates Vs. Cubs Wrigley Field.
I have to say that I have seen some moon shots but after seeing over 1000 games in person at Wrigley Field, this was the most impressive shot I have seen in the old ball yard. It actually sailed right over my head. 4. Greg Luzinski August 29, 1983 White Sox vs. Red Sox, Comiskey Park
5. Chicago Cubs playoff game number 1, October 2, 1984. There were five home runs in this game and we all just knew that the Cubs would be making their first World Series appearance in 39 years. Oh well.
