When thinking about the New York Mets players and famous home runs, Mike Piazza on 9/21/01 and David Wright in the 2015 World Series likely come to mind. On the flip side, there have been several Mets pitchers notorious for giving up infamous home runs, whether it was Aaron Heilman to Yadier Molina in 2006 or Roger McDowell to Terry Pendleton in 1987.
However, sometimes a pitcher gives up a home run that is historic just for the sake of being historic, without dooming either team’s season.
