Aaron, second place Mazeroski, third place Thomson.

Carlton Fisk's HR Game 6 1975 WS against the Reds.

Two for me both include Nolan Ryan:

7-moments in time, one for each no hitter
The butt whipping that Robin Ventura (26 at the time) took from Nolan Ryan (46 at the time).

Instant classics, each and every one of them.

Brad Ausmus' 2005 NLDS game 4 homer to tie the game with 2 out in the ninth.

Honourable mention-- Rob Manfred's 2017 announcement that the Yankees were fined for inappropriate use of their dugout phone in one of their championship runs prior to 2010 as a result of the investigation of the Red Sox Apple Watch sign stealing allegations by New York.

Everyone will have their own "most memorable moment" and for me it was the first big moment in baseball that I remember: Fisk "willing" the ball fair in the 12th inning of an amazing World Series Game 6 between the Red Sox and Reds.

In no particular order...... Mays catch, Gibsons HR, Ripkens 360 handshakes around the stadium, Gehrigs speech, Ruths called shot ( even if it was a maybe) Jackies first MLB game, Larsens perfecto, Williams last at bat HR, Bobby Thompsons HR, maybe Maz HR also. If you dont count the roids, Big Macs last HR was up there too.

This is the first one I thought of. A big reason is that visual. The TV guys who made the decision to keep the camera on Fisk, rather than just following the ball through the air, created a lasting moment in time. It was TV broadcasting genius.
