In my favorite chair in my living room. I came out of my chair, both arms raised over my head with clinched fist. Jammed the hell out of my arms when they both hit the ceiling (seriously).

I was in the grandstand behind home plate near the very top. The summer after my 8th grade year. Great memory with my father that I will NEVER forget.

I was in Brownsville watching with my dad at my grandmas apt. They wanted to go to Mexico but we wouldn't so we could watch the game.

Down in Destin, Florida, for the family vacation. I was a younger kid, but the hotel sports bar we found had a number of LSU fans watching the game

The whole sequence seemed to take minutes but in reality was only a second or two


I remember panicking that Morris hit the first pitch - it just seemed a little too hasty with everything on the line.

But you're right - it got over the wall very quickly. Since we've all seen the replay so many times, it seems much longer than the actual moment.

Was in the stands behind home plate, then after the game, went to the Embassy Suites where Jordy interviewed Warren on the Channel 2 6 o'clock news and I knocked kids out of the way so I could get on tv in the crowd behind him. Have the whole thing on VHS, it's freakin great

We were sitting in the parking lot of the Taco Bell in Denham Springs waiting for the game to end so we could go in. We had just driven back into town from Disney World and listened to the game as soon as we came into range.

I was standing next to the operator's platform on the #3 sheeter at Georgia Pacific Port Hudson Mill watching the game on a portable black and white tv that the operator had rigged up. When the ball left the bat everyone went apeshit.

I thought the opposite - I heard it (on the radio) and it sounded like it was gone. I had just told my wife, "Morris hasn't hit a home run all year - he's due", approximately 3 seconds before it was gone.

Left Field Bleachers. 1st time watching LSU win a National Championship. Knew it was going to be long enough upon contact. The sea of gold jerseys flying out of the 3rd base dugout confirmed it was going to be fair!

Where were you when Morris hit his CWS winning HR?


Sitting at Cypress Lake in NW La. at a Sunday School gettogether and barbeque, listening to the game on a small radio, when Morris hit the big HR. I don't think even then we realized the significance of the big hit. I'm a much bigger fan now than I was then, and I hope to relive that moment in the next year or two when Coach Manieri and Crew win their next CWS title.
