I was at the game in Chicago in 2003 when Alfonso Soriano set the record for most leadoff homeruns in a season.
The other was batting practice in St Louis in 1999. It was the last 3 games of the season, Cubs vs Cardinals. Glenallen Hill hit one into the upper deck and smashed a guy in the face(OUCH!!). I was sitting below in the bleachers and seen it close up and personal. The really cool part was the next day fans showed up with signs that they could stick their faces through that read "Hit me in the face Sammy" Some said McGwire but crazily most I seen said Sammy in St Louis.
