For me, it will always be Mike Piazza's post 9/11 homer against the Braves.

I'm pretty sure none of the guys mentioned upthread got a nickname as a result of hitting that home run, so the answer is clearly Bucky Dent in the one game playoff between the Yankees and Red Sox at the end of the 1978 regular season.

The "Shot Heard 'Round The World", Bobby Thomson off of Ralph Branca in 1951 is one of the most iconic HRs off all-time.

The two most exciting home runs I saw were Carlton Fisk's home run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, and Chris Chambliss' home run to end the 1976 playoffs against the Royals.

Of course another famous home run is Bill Mazeroski's home run in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series.

Bernie Carbo 1975 World Series against the Reds. Everyone remembers Fisk but without Carbo, it never happens. Another dinger I`ll never forget, Reggie Jackson 1971 Tiger stadium all star game, WOW !!!!

My most memorable was watching Roger Maris blast number 50 into the stands at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles on his way to 61.

Mazeroski's was Game 7 and defeated the Yankees. I would say his.

There's Carbo and also Hal Smith who hit a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 8th for the Pirates in Game 7 in the 1960 series to put the Pirates ahead 9-7. The Yankees of course, tied it up in the 9th. But without Smith's home run, there would have been no Maz home run.

Mazeroski.

Was walking home from parochial school in north Jersey and had a cheap transistor radio glued to my ear. I floated home on cloud nine.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
