The most memorable HR of all time

His 5th slam that year was in the World Series, too.

I'm surprised at how little love Aaron Boone's pennant winning shot gets and not just on this thread. An extra inning walk-off in game seven against their bitterest rival yet it seems that even Yankees fans seldom talk about it.

I'm not a Yankees fan, so I'll defer if one of them chimes in, but it might have to do with them getting upset in the World Series that year.

That could be. It may also be that the Yankees had so many big post-season moments in the previous few years that the HR sort of "got lost". Even so, I'm surprised it's not spoken about more, especially considering that Boone is now their manager.
