I’m not sure how much this home run really helped the city heal in the aftermath of September 11th, but I remember being a 15-year old kid screaming with joy when it happened. And, as a 24-year old kid, I found myself doing the exact same thing as I watched the video.
With the Mets changing management, I really hope baseball can mean this much again, both to a city and to a single fan, watching at home.
Note to Ken Burns, you CANNOT make a baseball documentary, devote a major part of that documentary to 9/11 and then leave out this surreal moment by Mike Piazza. Just can’t do it sir.
A great, great moment in New York City; a great, great moment in baseball.
Tears and chills. Every time. Indelible.
