In 1927, Ruth hit 60 home runs in a single season. That record stood until Roger Maris broke it 34 years later.

In the eighth inning of the first game of the 1954 World Series, with the score tied 2-2 and two men on base, Vic Wertz of the Cleveland Indians hit a ball to the deepest part of center field in the Polo Grounds. Mays ran back, caught the ball over his shoulder and threw home to hold the runners. The Giants went on to win the game and the series. This is generally considered to be the greatest catch of all time.

Sept. 8, 1998 Mark McGwire hit his 62nd homer, breaking the magical 37-year-old record of Roger Maris with an uncharacteristic line drive that barely cleared the left-field fence just inside the foul pole. It touched off a celebration of baseball and triggered a 6-3 victory for the St. Louis Cardinals over the Chicago Cubs.

Throughout the history of baseball there has been great singular moments. This page contains pictures and descriptions of the greatest baseball moments of all time. Enjoy!

Carter hit a home run in the ninth inning of Game 6 of the 1993 World Series to give the Blue Jays a come-from-behind victory and the World Championship. The only other time a player ended a World Series with a home run was when Bill Mazeroski homered against the Yankees in 1960.

On the last day of the season in 1961, Maris hit a home run off Boston Red Sox pitcher Tracy Stallard to give the Yankees a 1-0 win at Yankee Stadium. It was Maris' 61st home run of the season, which broke the previous record set in 1927 by Babe Ruth.
