MacNamee Homer

[wsjmsu75]

Just watched a replay of that (about 5 times). Lol. That was even more clutch than the Burke Masters grand slam. I mean, down to our last strike, facing elimination and Boom!! One of the biggest hits in the long history of Bulldog baseball.

Congrats to Elijah, and to the whole team and to the coaching staff. Proud of all of them. Now, lets kick some Vandy butt this weekend.

If this team gets to Omaha, MacNamee’s HR > the Masters slam.

People tend to forget that the Masters grand slam wasn't a walk off. We were the visiting team in that game. Obviously, it's one of our greatest moments, but Macnamee's HR provided the largest possible swing of emotion. The only thing was it wasn't at home, and there aren't many who can say they saw it in person and went berserk.

Nor was it the decisive game. Most forget we got beat later and had to win on monday

 

[The Usual Suspect]

Most people forget that Masters was 6 for 6 that day.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I only HEARD Jim's call & went beserk scaring neighborhood pets & children.

Pretty cool that Masters went on to be the Cubs Chaplain during their WS win. He may still be there.

Also Masters became a priest.

Some people don't think it's important to try to rank such things. They're both gonna be remembered for a long time and were incredibly clutch. Masters HR was even more amazing because he wasn't a big guy and certainly wasn't known for power and he hit it way out.

If you're interested in his story watch the video here. He's a high quality individual...

Vick Vickerson had nice walk off HR at Florida a few years back. That was pretty sweet too.

Is Vick related to Nick?**

Could y’all even imagine what it would have been like had he hit that homerun while at The Dude? Pretty sure the bars wouldn’t have been able to handle the after party.

Saw that looking up the career hits #. Very cool. I had forgotten just how much he played. State's career leader in games played.

Yep. Such as the tv broadcaster, I think it was Dave Neal.

I saw this on twitter. One of if not my alltime favorite tweet. Awesome.

Didn't Adam Frasier go 6 for 6 against Virginia in a Super Regional?

who remembers Rick Dixon-hitting a grand slam walk off? I think to beat TN and win SEC. But my memory is fuzzy.

Thank you for posting that. He is a great man.

I do. listened to Jim's call on the radio

It was a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 8th to give us a 12-11 lead over Florida. Still had to get them out in the top of the 9th, which we did. Incredibly, that put our final SEC record(including the SEC tournament) @ 20-2!
Great team
