20 years ago, in New York City's first major sporting event after 9/11, New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza hit one of the most iconic home runs in MLB history ❤️ | SportsCenter

⚾️ On June 6, 1994 Mike Piazza hits the longest home run recorded in the history of Joe Robbie Stadium up to that point when his first career grand slam is estimated to have traveled 477 feet. The moment is made even more memorable by the stunned reaction from L.A. skipper Tommy Lasorda’s reaction to Piazza’s moonshot. The catcher's Ruthian blast, one of four Dodgers round-trippers during the Florida contest, isn't enough to thwart the Marlins' 11-10 come-from-behind victory.⚾️ | Davenport Sport
