Mike Piazza A Home Run To Remember
Sometimes, a home run is more than just a home run. In the first professional sporting event in New York City since the attacks of 9/11, the Mets’ victory over the Braves on September 21st, 2001 became a healing moment for a hurting city. The defining moment of the game? Mike Piazza’s two-run homer in the bottom of the 8th inning, which ignited the crowd at Shea Stadium and helped cement his place as a legendary New Yorker forever. Pay homage.
