#10 Aaron Boone Sends The Yankees To The World Series - It's also the shot that sent an additional 150,000 Red Sox fans to Alcoholics Anonymous.
#9 Kirby Puckett's World Series Walk-Off Homer (1991 Game 6 Vs. The Atlanta Braves) - And I still believe old Charlie Leirbrandt has arguably one of the ugliest pitching deliveries in baseball history.
#8 Babe Ruth Hits # 60 (September 27, 1927 In Yankee Stadium Against Washington) - Sure some fans would argue Mark McGwire's 62nd home run belongs here but I'd rather celebrate a man who used the power bacon and whiskey instead of steroids to hit 60 home runs.
#7 Carlton "Pudge" Fisk Waves A Home Run Fair (Game 6 Of The 1975 World Series Vs. The Cincinnati Reds) - You know you've hit one of the greatest home runs of all time when Matt Damon puts it in one of his movies. If you don't believe me, ask Ben Affleck (fast forward to the 4:00 mark to see Pudge's home run).
#7 Roger Maris Hits # 61 On the last day of the Yankees' 1961 season, outfielder Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's 60 single-season home-run record. A truck driver named Sal Durante from Brooklyn caught the ball and tried to return it to Maris after the game, but the star declined and said Durante should keep it and receive the bounty. Are you paying attention Barry Bonds?
#3 Hank Aaron Hits # 715 - Bud Selig really should force every team in baseball to have cheerleaders so they can escort a player around the bases every time they hit a home run.
#1 Bobby Thomson And The "Shot Heard 'Round The World" - Baseball purists consider it the greatest home run of all time. I thought about putting Kirk Gibson's home run #1 but you don't want to piss off baseball purists. They're really weird.
#5 Joe Carter Wins The World Series For Toronto - The home run that turned Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams into the "Mild Thing" and proof that people with mullets almost never succeed in life.
#4 Bill Mazeroski's World Series Walk-Off Home Run - It was the first ever home run to end a World Series and it's one of the few times the Yankees weren't on the winning side of the equation.
#3 Hank Aaron Hits # 715 - Bud Selig really should force every team in baseball to have cheerleaders so they can escort a player around the bases every time they hit a home run.
#2 Kirk Gibson's Hollywood Miracle (Game 1 Of The 1988 World Series) - Maybe the most clutch home run in baseball history next to Pedro Cerano's epic blast against the Yankees without the help of Jobu.
#1 Bobby Thomson And The "Shot Heard 'Round The World" - Baseball purists consider it the greatest home run of all time. I thought about putting Kirk Gibson's home run #1 but you don't want to piss off baseball purists. They're really weird.
