On Oct. 14, 1985, a Hall of Fame shortstop hit a home run that inspired a "Go Crazy!" call by a Hall of Fame announcer. This is how our Hall of Fame reporter covered the moment.
Call it a 3,000-to-1 shot.
That's how many times Ozzie Smith had batted lefthanded in the major leagues - actually 3,009 - without hitting a home run.
He hadn't even hit one in Walla Walla, where he played Class A ball.
But that longshot broke the tape for the Cardinals in the ninth inning of Monday's fifth game of the National League Championship Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
