Don Delillo in Underworld makes a pretty good case for the Bobby Thomson HR, although of course his account has elements of fiction and perhaps exaggeration. In terms of importance beyond baseball, I would agree with #715 -- a blow that arguably put an exclamation point on the chapter started by Jackie Robinson.
