Ryan Howard – while wearing the No. 12 – launched the first home run of his major league career on Sept. 11, 2004 at Shea Stadium in New York.

Howard, now a partner in the company Diamond Kinetics, recently appeared on an Instagram Live chat for the company and was asked about what individual moment from his career stands out in his memory.
