The absolute biggest HR in cubs history. It brings me to tears…Every. Single. Time.

[adamcheek]

I'm still shaking after watching this...one of the best home runs I have ever seen. #FlyTheW

[HOOKAH_DONCIC_]

How in the world do you give him that pitch with 2 outs & an 0-2 count!?

[CoffeeMasterPlus]

This is the most exciting team in baseball right now. Love them or hate them, the Cubs are DAMN exciting and DAMN good.

[StylistecS]

Don't say this much but good call by Buck

[tubenachos]

This Cubs team reminds me of the 2004 Red Sox and Jason Voorhees. You kill them but they keep coming back.

[MrSonicspeed]

As a Nats fan I'm 100% rooting for the cubs

[danielmachuca]

I was in center field in the bleachers
that was the most hype I had ever been in my whole life and the loudest I've ever heard Wrigley in all my years of going

[yankeesfan]

The loudest crowd I have heard for MLB

[TheChristiondavid]

from a yankees fan go cubs you guys can do it

[adrianmarquez]

I literally called this after the previous pitch, & right before this one. Montero got an almost identical pitch right before this one an I remember vividly telling myself "damn, i bet he wishes he could get that one back, but if he gets another chance, that's a grand slam." Looks like he indeed DID get another chance. Lol

[itzjackplayz]

Its funny that the dodgers shot themselves in the foot like that just to get chapman out if the game

[gloriaquezada]

I am a giants fan but let's go Cubs.

[SuperTimboslice]

I remember I was in the car watching the game and our whole car started rocking when he hit that home run

[sebasmana]

Despues de ese año Montero no duro ni dos años en la Liga. Lo dio todo con los Cubs

[thegentleman]

Never heard joe buck sound this enthusiastic before

[progrod]

Besides Mark McGwires 70th home run, this might be the most excited I've seen Joe Buck.

[carlosjavierfloresaliendre]

Si todos supieran todo lo que había detrás de este turno....

[_ve]

JOE BUCK WITH EMOTION?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Pimpwitalimp]

I remember sitting next to my step dad watching game and telling him well he fucked up, all his homeruns where against a righty and how right I was. He just walked out the room
