The memory of the HR has a lot of meaning, I would think to many.
I was in Philadelphia setting up at the Philly card show and my son was at Shea Stadium. I would have been there with him if I had not been doing the card show. I got back to my hotel room with a couple of innings left and did see the HR. It is a very strong memory for me and I was very, very glad that my son was at that game.
