I was at this game as a 13 year old. When Piazza hit that HR you could feel Shea Stadium SHAKING from how wild the crowd got. My favorite baseball memory of all time.

Unfortunately, lame Citifield will never sound like Shea did because it is so much shorter, horrible acoustics and significantly less fans. Maybe the Mets will start doing what the Yankees have been doing for years... pumping fake cheering through their speakers. The Mets have to start winning first and the cowbell curse has to go away.

I remember that game very well. It was my 40th birthday. Great bday gift. But back in 1994 when the Mets started to win some games, when there was a crowd like and everyone was screaming the stadium would shake. Scared the hell out of me the first it happened but I soon learned to love it. LGM!

I was also at the game. I can confirm the shaking and the extremely plausible thought that it would collapse

I miss GARY THORNE in the METS' booth.

I was at this game and when Piazza hit that HR I was in Tier Box 1 and Shea shook like crazy. I thought it was going to fall! If I remember right it was also fireworks night that night.

It's always fun to beat the Braves. It will never get old. 😂🎉 🧡⚾️💙 #LGM

I was there, we had great seats behind the Mets dugout! Nobody left because it was Fireworks Night! Such great memories, I have to dig out my pictures.

This was cool to see again. Piazza was no joke man. Such a quick bat.

This team was much better than what the Met's are now.

One of the great things was Thorne going silent after the Piazza shot and letting the emotion of the crowd shine through. Piazza never won the Series with the Mets but he provided New York with more big moments than anyone in my lifetime (and I was around for ‘86).

This was the inning that proved to me that heroes existed.

29:01 is a roar you'll never hear at any stadium anywhere

MIKE PIAZZA, was such a prolific clutch power hitter. JUST A MONEY PLAYER.

Lousy in September and October

One of the best moments of my life. I was there!!!!!

Leo Mazzone and Mel Sttotlemire, sr were two of the best pitching coaches in MLB, hands down.

I'm glad y'all got there in time to witness that inning

Un swing hermoso y poderoso, el de Piazza. Mi ídolo en el beisbol

25:40 Alfonzo ABSOLUTELY locked in......There was no way he wasn't atleast hitting it hard somewhere.....Then Piazza finishes it off!!

i remember watching this game in NY, i forget channel 9 or 11.

Nice to hear Gary Thorne’s voice. I wish he still called either MLB or NHL games, but those days are likely in the past sadly.

I Remember this game like it was Yesterday LFGM!!!!

If you show this video to any Mets team when they're struggling.....it's sure to change the atmosphere

That crowd was more louder then now days fans. Same as old Yankee stadium fan base.

JAVVY LOPEZ was a pretty good offensive catcher for the BRAVES.

But not great at calling a game

7:02 And that is what we call foreshadowing…

I would have hated to be an Atlanta reliever in that clubhouse after the ballgame.

Good old SHEA STADIUM with real MLB outfield dimensions. Not like some high school dimensions like Philadelphia, Houston, wrigley field and even Yankee Stadium, among others.

This was a good game

Ventura made both third outs in the inning 😁

It’s crazy what kind of check swing you could get away with, Benny should have gone down like 4 times in that at bat.

22:42 poor Mo, ya gotta feel for him. He's gotta be thinking "What the fuck am I doing out here?"

I would like to know the exit VLO on that HR by Piazza! That ball was SCORCHED!!!!

7:00 announcer lol

i knew they were gonna run out of recent ones soon

they NEED to go back to playing vengabus after scoring lmaoo

Boy, NARK JOHNSON; all body and nothing else.

Why the hell didn't they use Rocker?

Any lip readers that can tell what Bobby Cox says after the Piazza HR? Jomboy seen this?
