i know it's frowned upon (these days), but the HR race in the summer of '98 was pretty amazing. it captivated the entire country. everyone went crazy when he connected on #62. obviously we look differently at it today, but back then it was magical.

All memorable hits
Ruth's Called Shot
Aaron's 715
Ruth's 60th
Maris 61st
Bobby Thompson
Mazerowski's Homer
Fisk Homerun
The hit that went thru Buckner's wicket

Not an Important hit per say but a great emotional moment in Baseball History was Ripken's Homerun in game that broke Gehrig's streak.

I would argue Babe Ruth's 30th home run in 1920 was the most important hit in baseball history.

Default Most important hit?

I would think that Maz's homer would be most important as it won the 1960 World Series. But don't forget about Hal Smith hitting the 3 run HR in the bottom of the 8th that gave the Pirates a 2 run lead going into the 9th. If the Yanks hadn't tied the game with 2 runs in the 9th then Smith would have been the Hero. Maz wouldn't have come to bat or make the HOF. For my money, from that team, Dick Groat should be in the Hall and not Maz. Just my opinion.

1. The Shot Heard 'Round the World. As stated earlier, even non-baseball or sports fans have heard of it or seen the footage, which has been used across multiple venues in the entertainment field, including an episode of the classic M*A*S*H television show.

2. In my lifetime, the Carlton Fisk game six homerun in the 1975 World Series was a pretty big deal. I remember seeing that on television as an eight-year old.

my first answer was Mac's #62, but i cannot forget to mention Mookie's game 6 dribbler in the '86 WS. as a 12 year old Mets fan it doesn't get better then that hit.
