The home run didn't bring back any loved ones. It didn't erase anything that had happened 10 days earlier. But it did what sports are supposed to do: Provide a distraction and a little bit of joy in the midst of real-life struggles.

@r2steve2 Год назад

I was in both the north tower, then scared as shit to go anywhere huge but I'm a season ticket holder and had to go to the first game back. This temporarily healed a lot of friends, made smiles and the amount of wet eyes were everywhere. This was my most memorable moment at Shea besides 86. God bless and protect FDNY, and NYPD. Truest heroes of it all. 😢

@ericradford2142 Год назад

Personally I wished sports shut down for the season because the sporting world wasn’t exactly in sync before the 9/11 terrorist incidents cast a pall on the seasons because it was still reeling from the deaths of Korey Stringer and Dale Earnhardt Sr.

As a Braves fan, you never want your team to lose. As an American, this was a loss I'd take over and over again. I just wish we could all come together and love one another like this each day we have left. Yes, you did good New York. You took one on the chin for all the rest of us and 10 days later YOU lifted us all up. For a moment, we were stronger than steel and unbeatable. We were neighbors no more, for a moment, we were brothers and sisters. With much love and thanks... North Carolina

@bosoxfan131 Год назад

I always thought Ortiz grand Slam against the Tigers in the 2013 ALCS was also a movie moment, he went out onto the field earlier that season to tell Boston and the world "This Is Our F***ing City" after the Boston bombings, the people in charge of sensoring what's said on TV gave Ortiz the go ahead to say whatever he needed, then they win the WS for Boston later that season, mostly because of that grand slam against the Tigers in game 2 of the ALCS.

Atlanta and NYC have always been rivals, but we have been on the same side so many times. During the revolution we fought for our independence. During WW2 we fought the uboats off our shores and sent troops to Europe and Oceania. And that game united us after such a tragedy. We may be enemies in baseball but Atlanta and NYC are friends off the field

As he says, Piazza gets personally uncomfortable when people thank him for this moment, insignificant as it is against the loss of life and the recovery efforts from Sept. 11. He has no idea what this means to the rest of us, and probably never will. That is the whole beauty of the moment. God Bless Mike Piazza, and God Bless America.

This is why the World Series was played in November for the first time. Knowing this, someone decided to make a sign called Mr. November and didn’t forget to bring it to Game 4 in case the game goes past midnight. And it did. That’s when he saw Derek Jeter batting and predicted he should be Mr. November. His prediction came true, as minutes later, Jeter hit a walk-off home run to give the Yankees the win and tie the series. And Michael Kay exclaimed in excellent fashion “He is Mr. November!”

@Brooklyn3955 2 года назад

The only problem with that is the Yankees lost. The true Mr. November really is two. The true Mr. Novembers are Curt the Hurt and Randy Dandy. Think about it.

@@Brooklyn3955 Jeter hitting one of the most iconic home runs of his career after the bell tolled for midnight, November 1st, with the Mr. November guy holding up his sign, was cooler than anything else that happened in a series full of magic moments. That’s why he’s Mr. November. It doesn’t matter that the yanks lost. Doesn’t matter that Curt and Randy were electric. Doesn’t matter that Gonzalez walked off game 7 against Mo (which was the only other true candidate for the “coolest thing that happened that series”, much to my dismay).

I know “This one has a chance” on the surface may seem like a bad call because it was a no-doubter of moonshot, but Howie Rose’s use of “has a chance” goes much deeper for me. It almost sounds like he can’t believe it himself, and is saying “Maybe we actually have a chance to recover.” That’s how I choose to see it. As a New Yorker, I never thought I’d have the chance to be happy again, and Rose’s call touches a chord with me. Or maybe it’s just a bad call…
