And the best pitching performance I've ever seen. In June 1997, I was in Seattle visiting my maternal grandparents. We went to the Mariners-Cardinals game to see the Big Unit versus Big Mac (Randy Johnson, the best pitcher of the time, versus, Mark Maguire, the best hitter of the time chasing Roger Maris' home run record. Randy Johnson was well on his was to 19 strikeouts. 19!!! That's ridiculous. But during the same game, Mark McGuire hit a 537 foot homerun off of the left field STADIUM WALL just above and to the left of my head (by around 30 feet). It was nuts. The best baseball game I've ever seen. 19 strikeouts and you LOSE? Ridiculous.
