In person: I was at the first night baseball game at the University of Georgia in 1984. UGA played Auburn and Bo Jackson hit a homerun to dead center that hit the lights. I swear the ball was still rising when it hit the lights at the top of the pole. I don't care if it was an aluminum bat, it was the most amazing HR I have seen. Would have easily gone 500+ feet if not for the lights. The stunned UGA fans even gave him a standing ovation as he rounded the bases.
On TV: my mom allowed me to stay up late on a school night to watch the 6th game of the 1977 World Series to watch my favorite player, Reggie Jackson. It was a truly magical night for a 12-year-old as I saw Reggie hit 3 homers to clinch the Series. Amazing performance on the biggest stage!
