I still get chills watching that Ishikawa HR.. brings tears to my eyes
Will Clark Grand Slam in the '89 NLCS should be on this list
Missed that one my bad
@@HummBabyBaseball >>> I wondered about that one too.
Came here to mention this HR. One I will never forget! Seeing Clark literally hit it out of the park in such a moment was incredible.
I would put that in the Top 5 all time. It changed the game where pitchers cover their mouth with their gloves on mound visits.
Ishikawa’s always make me tear up. What a moment!!!
Goosebumps every time
Me too!
My nephew always remembers i called Morse's shot n told him we would win it in the 9th. The most dramatic hr of our era no doubt!
Same bro. It's my 2nd favorite moment in Giants history just behind Brian Wilson striking out Nelson Cruz to win the 2010 WS.
@@IamIRONMAN--- Nelson Cruz bro. Romo struck out Cabrera in '12.
Morse off of Neshek still is my favorite HR of all-time. I can't exactly explain why, but I think it's the type of character Morse brought to the team and the fact he was pinch hitting that made it so special.
TOTALLY AGREE. 16:45 Morse’s hr tied the score in the 8th but you could feel the momentum swing to the Giants in that game. This one will always give me goosebumps...
I love it too. I think Ishikawas is my favorite especially since he almost quit baseball. But when Morse hit that bomb, we all knew it was ours!
Morse is one of the best short-term Giants ever; if not the best.
I remember hearing a radio interview with Morse the next day in which he said that as he was walking up the steps to the on deck circle, Posey told him he was going to homer in that at bat. Morse replied “come on man you can’t put that on me!” Turns out Buster was right! Neshek had been very effective against the Giants that season so I was not very optimistic, which made the home run that much more blissful for me. Morse was such an awesome Giant.
Mike Ivie's pinch hit grand slam against the Dodgers in 1978 still rings for me. I was listening to it on the radio at the time. But the most memorable hit that I saw at the Stick was a single. On Willie McCovey Day, September 18, 1977 McCovey singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th.
Watching Travis Ishikawa hit that homerun brought back my childhood memories. Can't wait for the Giants to be good like this again
Bonds' walkoff on his birthday. The most amazing thing I've ever seen at the ballpark.
Good one.. Bonds had so many great ones
Was at that game. In the top of the inning, he threw the runner out at home on an amazing throw to home to end the inning. We all went crazy. When he stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the inning, the energy in that place was already insane.
Then that sound of Barry connecting...
Bedlam
Yess!!! I was at that game and consider that among the greatest sports moments I've seen in person.
OUTSTANDING JOB on this video! I have been a Giants fan since I was a 1st Grader growing up in Gilroy, California back in the early 70’s. I witnessed a TON of bad baseball growing up, but always dreamed of them hoisting the WS Trophy. Finally it came true in 2010.
This moved me, sincerely. My favorite of recent memory was Crawford’s vs Pittsburgh. That silence was DEAFENING!
Hope you all enjoy this presentation of 30 of the greatest home runs in San Francisco Giants history and share the video if you are able! This does not include the home runs from the New York era because there were so many that were not caught on tape and it is a celebration of San Francisco Giants history.

I like to see your sf giants bobblehead collection.
@@lleytonrutz2091 you really love bobbleheads!
No sabia que hablas espanol. ¿Cuanto tiempo lo estudiabas?
@@nottelling4548 sí.. Mi papá es de Nicaragua pero estudié por muchos años tambien. 4 años de la Universidad.. Tengo bachiller en los idiomas
@@HummBabyBaseball Que suerte. Deseaba que mis padres hablaran Español.
Great work, but as noted it's missing Will Clark's grand slam off Maddux in '89 and J.T. Snow's game-tying homer of Benitez in '00.
What a terrific video - got me a little choked up in nostalgia. My two favorites from this list are Belt vs the Nats in 2014 and Uribe in 2010 to send SF to the WS. My favorite not on this list came on Bonds' 39th birthday in 2003 against Arizona. The Diamondbacks had been in division contention until coming to SF for a four-game series. The Giants won the first three games. Then in the fourth game, Ray Durham hit two home runs (and nearly a third) to give the Giants their only two runs of the game. It was a 2-2 in the top of the ninth, and the Dbacks got a hit with a runner in scoring position. The ball came to Bonds in left field, and he delivered a perfect throw to get the runner at home plate. Then in the bottom of the ninth, Bonds was the first guy up, and on the first pitch, he launched a walkoff. Oh, and I was there!
Ishikawa!!!!!!!!!! In tears of joy the entire video great job buddy!
Great video bro, Santa Rosa born and raised. Thanks for the memories, these are all awesome. If it were a video of other home runs by Giants not in a massive spotlight i’d love to see some of those MONSTER BLASTS by my guy, ‘the big cat’ Andres Galarraga
Thanks!! I'll see what I can do!
Great job! Really like your close about who will be next.
Ishi's homer was so amazing and my neighbors thought I was being murdered the way I was screaming but I have to put Renterilla's hr #1 due to the historical meaning. Not only that but the memory of my son and I screaming together and hugging and jumping around the living room with the dogs barking! The best memory everrrrr!
Thanks again for a great video! Love your show!
haha Steve, same here i was screaming and yelling however i think i blacked out a bit too....seriously.
Appreciate it so much!
That should be Renteria..sheesh!
Very well done. Yes, had a few tears in my eyes.
So many great moments and memories. I am old enough to remember pretty much all of them. The 1812 Overture at the end is a nice touch.
Great video! I have a lot of great memories from those home runs. The Will Clark grand slam in 89 NLCS and the Bonds vs Gagne matchup were the only two I might have included. But other than that , this was an amazing list and video. Thanks. 👍
Great list earned a sub!! Would’ve included Posey’s 2012 HR off Scherzer in the WS but otherwise this was awesome. Great work
That Brian Johnson shot was effen epic!!!!!
No love for Will Clark's 89 NLCS Grand Slam? Wow. The Thrill NEVER gets any love.
Thank you ever so much. I've watched every Giant game on TV for for 45 years, at least.
Awesome!! We do Giants postgames here and lots of Giants content.
Man, that Pagan inside the parker was great, but it's bittersweet because he injured himself doing it and was never the same afterwards.
Will "the Thrill" Clark's first at-bat bomb of Nolan Ryan should rank- glad it ranked! Set the whole tone to a superb career. Winner. Was wonderful to see Clark's iconic #22 be retired by the organization. Attended the game with my ailing father, and it was a moment we will never forget. We listened to almost every Giants game on KNBR in 1986, the only summer we lived together. Will Clark (& Robbie Thompson, and Mike Krakow) are big reasons why we both are Giants fans for life.
Don't know if the old video tape even exists at KTVU, but I'll never forget Russ Hodges saying, as McCovey stepped up to the plate against Don Drysdale for a 1968 game at Dodger Stadium, that it was the only National League park he yet hadn't hit a home run. Next pitch, watching at home with my dad, "Tell it Bye Bye Baby."
When it got down to the final two I knew exactly which ones they were gonna be lol.
Nicce
You forgot Mike Ivie's grand salami off Don Sutton in front of a capacity crowd at sundrenched Candlestick Park back in a memorable 1978 season. Or what about Robbie Thompson hitting a grand salami agianst Florida I believe at Candlestick capping an incredible comeback in 1993, another great year.
Thank you!! Great ones I missed.. So many awesome homers
That Mike Ivie home run is still one of my all-time favorite home runs !!!!
Yeah how can you leave off Mike Ivie, and you call yourself a lifelong Giants fan? Turn in your colors dude!
I thought he was going to show the Thompson one in `93. A heartbreaker of a season but still a memorable home run
One of the very few highlights for the Giants in the entire 70’s decade.
What great memories! I remember them all! Great job and thank you for saying what I believe is a travesty, Barry Bonds not yet being in the Hall of fame, the most feared batter in baseball with 7 MVPs.
Sorry, I am a very long time, diehard Giants fan but I don’t agree about BB. He cheated and cheaters don’t belong in the hall of fame.
@@danmyers9372 I understand how you feel, but I wonder how many who used steroids are in the hall of fame. MLB admitted 75% used PEDs in the era and Bonds had 3 MVPs before he began using it seeing how Mcguire and Sosa was what the fans wanted to see.
Loved this video so much!! Showed it to my parents! Great editing! I was at the Travis Ishikawa game, it was one of the most amazing moments of my life!! I’ll never forget the feeling of seeing the ball leave the bat and watching it soar just over the wall!! I knew instantly when contact was made, the game was over, I was in the left field bleachers with my close friend!! I have the mental snapshot recorded in my head of the ball traveling through the air and soaring out, so awesome for me to recall it in my memory!! It will forever be the most memorable #1 Giants game I have ever attended!! #2 I attended Madison Bumgarner game 5 complete game shut out!! vs Royals with a close friend of mine. I spent my entire 2 week pay check from McDonald’s which was $800 to get my game 5 World Series ticket!! I was in left field bleachers. It was worth every penny!! #3 I attended 2012 NLCS Game 7 Win!! vs Cardinals with my dad! So many great memories! Can’t wait to make more!
I love this game and the giants! Thank you for being this gem to us. So many memories and emotions from my childhood watching many of the giants you featured in this video. Thank you again!
You're welcome and thanks for watching and for the kind words! Go Giants!!
@@HummBabyBaseball Likely many other 'Gint home runs could have been included. I recall the "Caveman", Donn Robinson, clubbing a home run back in 1990 as a pinch hitter. Or in that first series of that magical 1993 NL West campaign against the defending Atlanta Braves, on the last game, which the Giants already scored four runs to TIE the game (it was a barn-burner) in the bottom of the Ninth, Matt Williams, having homered once that game already, clubbed "Bedrock's" (Steve Bedrosian) first pitch into the aluminum left-field bleachers that had just been put in at the 'Stick to end the game in the bottom of the 12th, 13-12.
This brought a tear to my eye 🥲
I'm a long time Giants fan raised in LA since the 60's. I saw Mays, McCovey & Bobby Bonds play and there was no way I was ever going to become a Dodger fan. This video brought back some great memories, particularly the Joe Morgan homer to stick the dagger in the Dodgers. I'm going to play it over the rest of this week.
The most beautiful video ever made. GO GIANTS.
Thank you!
This was just a spectacular video. Very well produced. Thank you, and I really really mean it.
So happy I found this video. Love this
1997!!! 🎉 love my Giants
I went to my first Giants game in 89 when I was 6, even saw Kevin Mitchell hit a homer. Keep up the good work love the channel.
Thanks for taking my suggestion of the Joe Morgan home run (and including me in the credits!)
Great video and very well done. I know it took a lot of work, so congrats on a job well done.
A couple of the announcers that you couldn't identify: Lon Simmons and Hank Greenwald (I think I heard them both in there).
Anyway, great to watch this, especially in a time of no baseball.
Thanks and no problem!
I thought about the 1982 Joe Morgan home run against the Dodgers in the last day of September that crashed their playoff hopes would be on the list. That Bonds 93 homer in the opener was huge, because it was foreshadowing. Great job with the videos.
Nice job putting this together and was hoping you would choose Ishikawa home run as the most memorable. Growing up saw many McCovey home runs on Saturday afternoons but nothing more special than Ishikawa home run that was walk off to send us to the World Series. Glad to see Panda's three against Tigers so high on your list as well. Buster Posey's home run against Texas in 2010 World Series was special as was home run in Detroit in 2012 World Series.
Thanks for watching!! Yeah Ishikawa had to be #1 for the SF era.
Love my San fran Giants ❤❤❤
Dude your videos keep getting cooler and cooler. Love the simple production and explanations behind all these homers. Keep it up!
Thank you!
I can still remember sitting in freezing Candlestick Park and watching Candy Moldanado and Will Clark go back to back in the bottom of the 9th to win a game. And Clark's was an upper deck shot in right field!!! 👍⚾🧡🖤
Outstanding Job!!!!
SOLID ass list my man. I enjoyed it 100%. My first baseball game was in 1983 two years after I came to this country from El Salvador and the first game that I went to was of course a Giants-Dodgers game. From that moment on I was hooked and have been a Giants fan since. Just like you I have been through the WORST with our Giants including two years later when we had the nightmare season of '85 when we lost 100 games or 4 years later when we made it to the World Series against the A's and the Loma Prieta Earthquake postponed the Series for 10 days. The came the Dynasty I was actually there when Travis Ishikawa hit that home run and let me tell you dude it was PANDEMONIUM but I will NEVER forget that game that was also the game where Michael Morse hit his home run to tie the game. Like I said man SOLID ass list.
Some great memories.
I remember the Panda homers so well. I moved to Arizona, and was at the State Fair to see Jane's Addiction. While I was walking around the fair, they had a closed off room with windows underneath the grandstand of the horse racing track. In the room was a bunch of old men in pinstriped overalls, playing with a full-sized train set . On the side of the train set, one of the men had a small tv facing the window with the World Series on. When Panda came up to his first A/B, I mouthed through the glass' Homerun. Just you watch". He laughed and mouthed back ' No way". Next pitch, he turned and looked at me like I was an alien. I just shrugged and laughed. I dawdled about the fair grounds, but I made it back for every Panda A/B. By the third one, he nudged his friend, pointed at me, and said ' Oh sh*t, he's back". Sure enough, Pablo came through. What a great night. 😁
Posey grand slam off Latos is my go to. Look at the catcher and pitcher
.05 seconds after contact, priceless.
When I'm having a bad day I always pull this video up and get my spirit lifted to the moon.
Agree. I will NEVER forget the reaction of the catcher in that one!
Madbum, Posey,The Freak,Morse,Pence,Romero,Pagan,Cain,Wilson,Belt,B-Craw,Panic,Travis Ishikawa, Panda, my gosh 10,12 and 14 were the best years since Bonds and before. Love the Giants!
I grew up with the Giants (Eureka, CA) Thanks for this!
No prob!
Best video 📼 of SF giants hits I’ve ever seen. Hope you do more videos of this kind. Vamos Gigantes!
Gracias!!! I will. Please share if you can!
Adios pelota!
JT Snow against the Mets, Clark in the NLCS, Bonds' 500th and the Gange duel, Pat Burrell in 2010 homering after the Dodgers hit Posey with a pitch
Love this video. Just hands down love it.
Not that I don’t like Joe Buck-I completely do-but I have such a sentimentality for the KNBR “it’s Travis Ishikawa” call by Jon Miller I find myself longing for it every time I see the clip from Fox. Every once in a while for really big games I prefer listening on radio to watching the game on TV-and most of the games during the World Series runs I’d listen to-this one included.
Really fond memories. Fantastic content HBB!
Yeah I didn't think about replacing the audio with KNBR until after upload and I was like DANG!! Why didn't I do that??? Haha. Thanks for watching!! 😁
Damn this is very high quality stuff.....nice work sir!
Much obliged!!
I wasn’t alive on Bobby Thompson HR but that has to be #1. That started it all for the giants history!!
This is SF era only
@@HummBabyBaseball good point. I prefer Michael Morse ahead Brandon Belt 2014 playoffs HR. Just my opinion
Very good...for a Giant fan. Seriously, great job! Dodger fan here if you haven't figured that out! You missed one! Plenty of homers by Barry, but what about daddy? Yeah, Bobby Bonds hit a dramatic walkoff homer on September 3, 1973 against my Dodgers. The Dodgers were tied for first in the division with the Reds, who they led by 11 games at one point. The Dodgers were crusing with an 8-1 lead going into the bottom of the 7th and your Giants scored 6 runs, chasing Tommy John. Pete Richert was the fireman (relievers were called that back in the day) and K'd the side in the 8th, but the bottom of the 9th, Garry Thomason led off with a walk, next Dave Rader sacrificed him to 2nd and thanks to a mental error, I can still hear Vin Scully saying, "throw to second, safe! Throw to first, safe!" Mike Sadek was up next and he also sacrificed and Vinny said, "looks at second, no play there, looks at first, no play there!" Now, Bobby came up against Jim Brewer and I think it was the third pitch he hit for a walkoff grand slam, knocking the Dodgers out of first and the Reds went on to win the division. I can still my dad swearing!
Thanks!! Great moment! That was before my time so I forgot it but yeah Bobby had some great bombs!
Excellent video!! I can't speak to the ranking overall, but I also would put the Travis Ishikawa home run in the top spot - just a great, great moment for Giants fans (like me!).
When Bonds tattooed a 100mph fastball at armpit height and sent it straight down a second tier exit ramp within seconds at Anaheim, I dropped everything. BONDS - H.O.F G.O.A.T
Thank you! Great to relive so many memories! Thank you again!
You're welcome! Please share video if you can!
Awesome video especially theme and music surrounding it. It would be great to see more compilations or videos on Giants history, maybe even New York stuff.
Thank you and no doubt.. I will try to make more! Unfortunately the harder i work on videos the worse they perform! But I'm gonna keep trying.
Awesome video!
Great video-I love the old Candlestick footage! You just got a new subscriber.
Absolute love this! Very disappointed that Will Clark's grand slam off Greg Maddox in Game 1 of the '89 NLCS is missing. But great, great video!
Agree!
Brandon Belt has been living off that one homer his whole career
This is good list 🎉
Ps can you make a top 4o hr list and include more will Clark but I still enjoyed your list 🎉
Too young I guess to know the significance of Mike Ivie's grand slam in 1978. Definitely belongs in this group. Also Willie Mays in 1962.
It was one of the high points of another wise DISMAL decade of Giants baseball. The 70's was ultra depressing😪
@@mayhemjr.803 - It was really hard being either a Giants or 49ers fan in the 70’s.
@@danmyers9372 tell me about it. I grew up in the Bay Area during the 70 's and many times you could not watch either the Giants or the 49ers on TV. We were TERRIBLE!. You only could listen to them on radio. The Raiders and A's were kings of the Bay back then
Hats off to the camera guy for catching Salmon saying that, classic
awesome go giants
Yusmeiro Petit. I'll never forget.
can't argue with it.... awesome!!!!!
Here's a bit of trivia on Willie Mays' 600th HR: Lon Simmons call includes "#600 and the Bye Bye Baby Bonanza." The BBB was a promotion that flagship radio station KSFO ran in 1969 along with one of the big tobacco companies (probably RJ Reynolds although I may have forgotten specifically which one.) Listeners sent in an empty cigarette pack along with name and address to qualify. If you didn't smoke, you could send in a plain sheet of white paper with the words "Winston" or "Salem" written on it to qualify. In every game, one inning (one Giants AB) was designated as the "Bye Bye Baby Bonanza" inning. A name would be selected from listeners that wrote in for each batter in the AB. If your name was called and the Giants batter hit a home run, you won the jackpot. If no one homered in the AB, they would add $10 to the jackpot until someone hit a HR in the designated inning. Willie's 600th was hit during a BBB inning. Willie didn't start that night. He pinch hit for an outfielder the Giants would trade away in '71 named George Foster.
Also, the Brian Johnson home run is my favorite one. I was 11 years old so its just the nostalgia I think. I loved that 97 team so many classic Giants that year
Great video. Loved it. My number 1 is Renterias cause it set the stage for our first World Championship, but cant argue with Ishi.
Thanks!! 😀
Thank you :)
Welcome!
Last one always gives me goose bumps
You may not have had a video of it, but Willie Mays hit a home run in the bottom of the 8th inning against the Houston Colt .45s on Sunday, September 30, 1962, that won the game 1-0; the Dodgers lost in Los Angeles a few minutes later forcing a three-game playoff that the Giants won with four runs in the top of the ninth inning on Wednesday, October 3, 1962, for their first San Francisco World Series appearance.
Aside from tossing in a few homers from the early decades, this is a list compiled with little knowledge of SF Giant history, focusing almost solely on 2010 and later years. My 2 most memorable homers were hit by Mays.
9/30/1962, the last games of the regular season saw the Giants a game behind the Dodgers. The Dodgers lost, so a win over the Houston Colt 45's puts the Giants in a 3 game playoff for the pennant. Tied at 1 in the bottom of the 8th, Willie smoked a homer and Stu Miller pitched the 9th for the win.
On July 2, 1963, 25 y/o Juan Marichal faced Braves 42 y/o Warren Spahn. The game was scoreless through 15 innings and both pitchers were still on the mound. Willie ended it by smacking a homer off Spahn leading off the bottom of the 16th inning. This has been regarded by many as the greatest pitching duel I MLB history. But Willie gets no love for these 2 dramatic game winning homers defies logic. I must add that it is possible there is no video available for these games, in which case they should have been mentioned anyway.
What a great list. Perfect.
Love the video great homeruns.
Excellent except…
Mike Ivie’s Grand Slam, 1978.
Willie Mac’s two-time two-home run INNINGs.
It all seems like so long ago. The final classical piece as the credits rolled was perfect.
After hearing about the Carlos Correa blunder, and the lackluster offseason we had. It seems like our current giants is drained of leadership and a passionate playoff player we needed in. Correa and now as a life long giants fan, frustration begins in this new regime. I had to go back to this HR list to cleanse my soul. so thank you hum baby, maybe our prospects will carry us threw one day like Reggie Crawford, Marco Luciano, Kyle Harrison. Until then it feels like a giants team that will always be scraping for wins. #6 will always be memorable as I was only 11 years old jumping for joy that my giants beat the dodgers.hopefully a giant miracle will happen.
My Dad was there when Bonds passed Ruth!
So glad you included Angel Pagan’s inside the park home run. That game had so many bad calls against the Giants and it was such a relief to get the win and in such a spectacular way. #GoGiants
Ohh yeah epic moment!!! 😁 Thank you for watching!
I was at that game and missed that. The party bus we had rented has already arrived. Ugh
If I recall Pagan pulled a hamstring on that homer that troubled him all season
@@taco2k3 - I believe you are correct! Amazingly Pagan was the least liked team mate in the Giants dugout.
The first game I can remember going to was the Dodgers and Giants at the polo grounds in 1957 the last year the teams were in n.y
Jonny antonalli and don drysdale .
Dodgers won 1to 0.
I was 7 and after the game they let you exit by going on the field.
Never can forget that .
Awesome video. So many great memories.
Thank you!
I love this video so much it deserves so much more then 3k views
Thank you!!
Great research and editing
Nice list. I'd flip the order a little bit (Renteria's HR will always be No. 1 to me) but as you point out, the order doesn't matter so much.
One HR that I'd have on here is Huff's in Game 4 of the 2010 World Series. I know Huff isn't exactly the most popular guy these days (and with good reason) but that was a huge home run. They had dominated the first 2 games but lost Game 3. And while they had 2 home runs in that game, they had only 5 hits and just felt sluggish. After getting shut out for the first 2 innings of Game 4, it just felt like a series on the brink of getting close. Then Huff launched that HR, gave Madbum a 2-0 lead. It was only 2-0 and the Giants were kept off the board again until the later innings, scoring one in the seventh and eighth. But with that 2-0 lead, it felt like the game was in complete control, which made the series feel like it was in complete control. That's huge for any team, especially one trying to win its first championship in more than 50 years.
Crawford's slam against the Pirates was the first ever by a shortstop in all of post-season play.
When to Candlestick to see my first game in 1963. Best Giants homerun experience was ..Maldonado and Will Clark back to back homers to beat the Astros in the 9th. Worst experience, after waiting years to see a World Series, I got to watch the Giants drop game four of the 1989 World Seriously?
Saw my first in '64. Next to last game of the season vs. Cubs. Say Hey hit TWO home runs....and they still lost 10-8. But I remember the green grass and the roar of the crowd. I was hooked.
Totally agree with #1, good job on all.
Thank you!!
Definitely should of had the Clark slam in 89 instead of Willie's all-star game homerun. I remember most of these except the ones from the 60's and early 70's as I wasn't born until 1970.
unforgivable to leave off Will Clark's grand slam off Greg Maddux in 1989 NLCS...and Joe Morgan's 1982 blast that knocked the Dodgers out of playoffs
31:06, bro, i will admit i shuffled all the way to the end to see if you chose the "right one." and low and behold...you did! Freaking amazing! You've got a sub for life my like minded brother!!!! That home run and year....nothing like it ever! I loved the 2014 postseason so much man. I wish i can go back and enjoy it again for the first time. And Travis Ish will forever be remembered. I'm getting a Ishikawa jersey made soon.
Sweeet!! Yep Ish gets #1
My favorite is the Joe Morgan homer. I was there.
was expecting the bobby thompson home run to be first tbh, great vid tho
Thank you! This is San Francisco era only; otherwise it would be an easy #1
Humm Baby Baseball ohhhh that makes a lot of sense, definitely the Ishikawa home run then, it’s literally the modern day Bobby Thompson home run lol
I was surprised the Clark Grand Slam in the 89 NLCS wasn't on this list nor the Bonds/Gagne one
Definitely the Clark grand slam instead of an all-star game homerun.
probably the most notable thing about the first home run, there were only 3 umpires on the field. the Umpire at 3rd got injured at some point during the game.
Great video!
Thanks!
For me the most exciting homerun in recent years was posey grand slam in the nlds 2012 vs the reds off latos
yes, Barry should be in the HOF!!!
Where is Will’s hr off Maddux in the 89 NCLS? J/k. Great video you put together. Will check out the rest of the channel
