Favorite home runs of all time ?

Colon launches a blast.....lol.

Some highlights:

-Tolo being Tolo
-The guttural “ough” reaction from whomever isn’t Darling
-The AWAY crowd goes absolutely bonkers
-It’s 80 year veteran Bartolo’s first homer
-There is a flood reference @Randolphkeys
-Darling, who I’ve always thought sounds just like James Woods: “I wanna say that’s one of the longest home run trots I’ve ever seen, but I think that’s just how fast he runs.”

Probably other things I’m missing. It’s said that day, toilets were flushed twice all over America for Tolo.

@Damage @Deezus @bushwick_bill

That's extremely rewatchable, easily the best non-Indians homer I recall.

Afterwards, I assume he drank a Modelo with his right hand and a mug full of queso fundido in his left.

If you’re a Bartolo guy, :09-15 is a rollercoaster of surreality.

Hell, if you’re not a Bartolo guy, it’s probably even weirder.

This man knows his place in the world.

Note that for this brief moment it’s showing as both a grand slam and a two run homer, as a wildly self-aware Tolo sluggishly rounds second.

It truly is one of the great moments in sports.

First one that comes to mind, Manny versus Eckersley, tie game, two outs in the bottom of the twelfth inning.

Didn't he point to his biceps in the dugout?

I disagree....Bag was always a fave of mine:


How about Mac's Budweiser dinner?

The WOW homer.

I like Eck too.

Game 6 of the ALCS against the yanks to get to the world series, a walk off...

I was at that McGwire game sitting in the left field upper deck. We couldn't believe it. He damn near dotted the I in Budweiser. Friggin incredible.


BTW- This thread is amazing!

A forgotten sweet swing…. Home run to send it to 7
