He was literally catching up to his teammates on the bases! He slid into home and there was a cloud of dust and the safe sign. I am a Red Sox fan but that was clearly the most amazing and exciting home run related thing I have seen in person at a baseball game.
Well.....I was at game 6 last year but that homer by Felix still amazes me and it had to be over 25 years ago.

I was at that game but missed the homer! We had tickets courtesy of the Boston Globe. Before Junior hit it my girlfriend and her friend (who worked at the Globe) asked to leave early, since the Sox were behind. We got out to the MBTA and a guy with a radio told us what had happened. Still, my first (and only) trip to Fenway was the main attraction for me.
