Posted by Erin: I just wanted to add a note to let everyone know about the historic moment in baseball that I witnessed at Shea Stadium last night. While in line to buy beer, my friend Greg suggested we walk out to watch my Mike's first at-bat. I was skeptical that he was going to hit an HR right then and said we could just watch on TV. But at Greg's insistence, we walked back through the tunnel into the seats. A few minutes later, on a 3-1 pitch, Mike Piazza hit a low-outside pitch over the opposite field fence, an estimated 405 ft for the 363rd HR of his career and most importantly, his 352nd as a catcher - the most by a catcher in Major League history. As he rounded the bases, the theme from "Chariots of Fire" played and the public address announcer said what the 20,000 in the stand already knew: that it was his record-breaking HR. He was saluted with a standing ovation from the crowd, no one there more excited or going more crazy than yours truly. All fans remained on their feet, calling and applauding the new record-holder and calling him out for a proper curtian call. He re-emerged from the dugout and waved to the crowd. The applause only got louder for a curtain call that all baseball heroes should give, especially ones destined for Cooperstown.
