so I was hosting a pub quiz during game 6. which means I had a microphone and 40 people listening to me all night as I was watching the game. pretty memorable night.

1951. Bobby Thompson's "the Giants win the pennant". Playoff tiebreaker, "the Shot Heard Round the World".
1960. Bob Mazerowski. "It is over the fence, the Pirates win!" World Series.
1975. Carlton Fisk's "if it stays fair.....homerun!" World Series.
1988. Kirk Gibson's walk off homerun. "I don't believe what I just saw" World Series.
1993. Joe Carter. "Down the left field line. Way back, and gone!" World Series.
Tonight, David Freese joins this list.
Kirby Puckett in 1991 should be on the list as well. Whatever, it's an elite list.
Babe Ruth's called shot. Even if what makes it famous may or may not be a tall tale.
