The most memorable HR of all time
While listening to a history of baseball podcast, I became curious about something. What is the most memorable home run the game has ever seen? I'm certain answers will vary; however, would be interested in reading your opinions.
For me, it's Gibson's World Series Game 1 pinch-hit blast beat the A's. It probably "ranks" lower than Ruth's called shot, Aaron's 715, or Fisk's Game 6 classic. However, I saw it unfold (on TV) in real time when I was a teenager. By that point, I could fully understand the magnitude of the moment...and I absolutely did believe what I just saw.

Chris Chambliss taking home the pennant for the Bombers in 1976...and a year later, Reggie launching Charlie Hough's first pitch knuckler into the black of center field for his third homer of Game 6. What a pair of majestic moments!!!

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.
