Not only was this the loudest I've ever heard Wrigley Field but I was seated right under the upper deck and we could feel the vibration in the columns supporting it. What a moment!
First, Miguel Monterro, who was planning to run for Cook County Board of President, hits his grand slam home run. And, then, Dexter Fowler, who was planning to run for the City of Chicago Mayor, hit the next pitch for a home run. I was there at Wrigley Field there were mob scenes and crazy Cubs fans rejoicing.
Montero was the man in this game and especially game 7 where his single through the left side drove in the run that gave the Cubs their first World Series victory since 1908. I really wish he would have left under better terms.
I went to Wrigley field for 2 weekend day games in 2007. It was the best pure baseball experience I could of ever experienced. 1060 W. Addison in north Chicago is baseball in all its beauty.
@@bobbyhullfan1077 it’s a fantastic park, and I say this as someone who isn’t a Cubs fan. I’ve even gone there to support the opposing team and had a great time. Go be a pretentious dickwad that nobody likes somewhere else.
@@bobbyhullfan1077 I'm surprised old technology-hating geezers like yourself had the eyesight and brainpower to see me. Hope being bedridden because of dementia isn't costing your children too much money. Traditionalist baseball fans are honestly a cancer. The game will be better with you gone. Fuck off.
I was at this game. I hugged strangers cheered for at least 10 minutes straight. I almost missed Dexter’s solo shot after. I almost fainted from all the cheering. I’ll never forget that night.
@@jonnydanger7181 Pretty good argument for it. That game had an odd feel to it. The Cubs were winning and had Chapman in with a lead. He got the first two to strike out, but Gonzolez tied it with a single. The momentum had clearly shifted at that point in favor of LA. Montero's slam changed all that. The Cubs HAD to win Game 1 because they were facing Kershaw in Game 2, who beat them and then they lost Game 3 in LA. Montero's slam kept them afloat in that series until they found their bats in Games 4 through 6. And given that the Cubs hadn't won a WS while they were playing in Wrigley, you absolutely could make the argument that was the most important HR, let alone hit, in Wrigley's history. Happy Days, those were.
The real mvp of the world series was the three headed monster, Contreras, Ross, and Montero. Also, the pitcher, catcher, and batter on the final out all shared the same initials, M M. I wonder if that ever happened before.
I was there and it was off the hook. One of the greatest moments in Cubs' history. This Grand Slam plus his single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning in Game 7 are more than enough for Montero to be called clutch.
I feel like I'm with the fans when Miguel Montero hit a grand slam from the 2016 Major League Baseball National League Championship Series game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field.
