I work in radio in Alexandria, LA, the hometown of Warren Morris. Warren just guest-hosted a radio show we do here, and we watched this video. He had a good time reading the comments. Warren said that he did get the ball back. The guy who caught it wasn't an LSU fan but sought Warren out after the game and said, "I think you'll might want this." He said the bat was one that he only used in this game, and it is currently in the LSU hall of fame. His batting gloves were given to a boy whose family was a friend of the coach. But only a couple of years ago the boy (who's grown up now) shipped the batting gloves back to Warren. As you probably know, Warren did play in the pros for a while, and he has now been a successful banker in town for a long time. He is also probably one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
He is definitely one of the nicest guys you’d meet. Very humble. He gave me batting lessons years ago when I was playing travel ball and completely changed my batting game. Stand up guy, no doubt
I was there, 9 years old, in left field. It was a truly iconic moment. To this day, there has not been another event to that level of energy. What a great memory.
I went to LSU and was watching this game on TV with my dad. It is still the most exciting memorable moment in the sport of baseball. Great memory. Geaux Tigers
We were driving from Louisiana to Tennessee on a church retreat for a week. We listened till about the 6th inning I think but eventually we lost reception and couldn't pick it up the rest of the way there. Of course we all thought we probably lost. I'll never forget the look on Greg's face when he burst into our room with the news his mom just gave him on the phone: we won it 9-8 on a walkoff homerun in the bottom of the ninth. I knew I would get to watch it when I got home because i told my mom to record it, and I did get to watch it. But it will always bother me the fact that I didn't get to see it live as it happened and celebrate in the moment. That part kinda sucks, I'm not gonna lie.
This article was blown up and framed at my orthodontist, huge Times Picayune! Had one in every single room and the waiting room. Even in the bathroom! Such a cool win.
0:13 Sean McDonough: Now Warren Morris... hits a deep drive down the right field line, that ball is... GONE!!! LSU WINS THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES ON A HOME RUN BY MORRIS! Sean McDonough makes some good calls. Warren Morris will NEVER forget his first home run that season.
Was everyone aware that a Morris, Morrison @ a Morris either played or coached in this championship baseball game between the Hurricanes and the Tigers in 1996 ?
For some reason college baseball doesn’t have many well known moments like football and basketball. This has to be among the top, the only two out game winning come from behind home run in any level of baseball according to Wikipedia.
Tennessee's walk off grand slam against Wright State in the regionals is definitely up there but considering this was a title game nothing will top it lol
He was hurt a really good portion of the season and hadn't been swinging away. He says I the documentary that this was the 1st game since his injury he felt good or something like that , it's been awhile

To this day, he gets mobbed at LSU tailgates for pics and autographs. Dude is beyond a legend in Baton Rouge
This is awesome!
Yes sir. This was a magical moment. Just imagine for him ?!!

@@NCAAChampionshipsYes it is!!!!
I know this is true b/c I live in Baton Rouge and got a picture of him with my son. Always gracious and patient in being mobbed by fans.

Morris is a class act, on and off the baseball diamond.
@@scottbaseball8046True!!!!
No doubt, he will always be a hero in the state of Louisiana. A great moment in LSU Baseball history.
True!!!
Just used Warren on immaculate grid and felt compelled to come back to relive this. CWS was (and still is) the best part of growing up in Omaha.
I was there, 9 years old, in left field. It was a truly iconic moment. To this day, there has not been another event to that level of energy. What a great memory.
I never tire of watching this magical moment.
Me too!!!
I was there in the Right Field Bleachers! Ball landed a few rows to my left. Trying to locate whether I can be seen. What a game!
You mean right field? Ball was hit to right, not left
@@julianmeza8061 Yes! I was so thrilled to relive the moment watching the video I freaked. Thank you for pointing it out! What a game!
@@julianmeza8061 he said right field it LANDED to his left fool … people are so quick to ruin a moment jesus christ

@@adamdorgant9454 Your welcome
Your welcome @adamdorgant9454
Alex Cora at SS wishing that he had stolen signs at the plate right when that walkoff happened...
Probably so!!!
Man, this still gives me major league goose bumps watching this. Such an incredible moment in time.
You’re right about that!!
The thrill of victory and agony of defeat all in one right there
Agreed!!!

one of the preachers at this church i used to go to knew warren, and he got to come and speak and signed a baseball for me
my dad grew up with him and was his best friend. i got to talk to him at the 16 world series
I met him in Louisiana, one of the nicest people in the world!
@@ldelcors yep
Awesome!!!!
Miami did eventually finally breakthrough in 1999/2001, so this didn't haunt Hurricane baseball for years
6>4
Didn't the Hurricane breakthrough in 1982 @ 1985 ?
@@scottbaseball8046Yep. They had won titles in 1982 and 1985. And ironically it was a Miami assistant who led LSU to glory
That pitch was six inches below the strike zone and he still hit it out of the park. Incredible!
I know Right!!!
Those late 90s aluminum baddies didn’t fuck around 😂
Thanks for sharing that, I had no idea Morris hit a " ball" not a " strike" over the right field wall.
@@RedRaiderLobo20stg bro they were way better than besr and bbcor
Dude is a legend at LSU
Yes he is!!!!
Was Brandon Larson or Casey cuntz on this team??? Those guys could smash the ball
I wish people would talk about this more.
Agreed!!!!!
Threw that curve one too many times!!! Warren was sitting on it!!! He knew it was coming!!!
True!!!
Morris-Father showing Morris-son how it's done.
True!!!!!
Tommy White with an almost identical homer as Warren Morris to send LSU to the College World Series
Most iconic home run in lsu baseball history!
Agreed on that!!!
Legend for life...I was watching from my shitty little apartment in San Diego
Greatest moment in College World Series history
Yes indeed!!!!
I remember watching this with my pops man talk about unreal we were praying for something like this and it happened Hail Mary of baseball lol
The ultimate boy’s fantasy.
I’m watching his special and he only played baseball because a friend invited him when he was a kid imagine that
He just went to my uncles funeral he’s rlly nice👍
332 down the line and he hit it about 335...just high enough without a robbery. Absolutely beautiful.
Line drive homer. When mark McGwire hit #62 I thought of this one.
Was everyone aware that a Morris, Morrison @ a Morris either played or coached in this championship baseball game between the Hurricanes and the Tigers in 1996 ?
That alex cora on the ground
Everyone here’s because of Tommy Tank BUT Morris is still the 🐐

Thats just not true
Dru Sanchez I left out to win a championship
Tennessee's walk off grand slam against Wright State in the regionals is definitely up there but considering this was a title game nothing will top it lol
don't you love it didn't do anything during the whole world series and hit song run he'll never forget it go tigers
They said not a single home run the entire season til this, talk about unexpected!
You’re right about that!!!!
He was hurt a really good portion of the season and hadn't been swinging away. He says I the documentary that this was the 1st game since his injury he felt good or something like that , it's been awhile
He had been hurt for most of the year and couldn’t hit for power till that game.
@@TempleofAmon666True!!!
FINAL LSU 9 MIAMI 8
0:12 - Dude looks like, "I'm about to go yard on this MFer."
You’re right about that!!!
Never gets old geaux tigers
I know Right!!!
Rosenblatt had a special charm to it. TD Ameritrade looks so bland.
I agree. It's more like a Major League ballpark than it is a college one.
Hard to believe it’s been 27 years!!!!
So did Warren Morris go onto the MLB after this?
He preached to us one time!
What dreams are made of .....
True!!!
That bat has soo much pop 😭
Imagine if they had Twitter back then
LSU fans would have had a decades long trolling golden age😂😂
I know Right, it would have gone crazy!!!

Lol I love it! Can’t stand that dude

Wow, I Never Knew Miami (The U) Was So Close To Winning The CWS In 1996. What A Heart Breaker That Was.
I KNOW
Miami college baseball has been to the CWS 25 times which is second alltime to Texas 36 and won it 4 times.
they did win 2 titles in 1999 and 2001. At least they eventually got there.
@@chrisuncleahmad666 Miami has 4 Baseball national titles!

That one Miami player just lays on the diamond dejected.
