I was not thinking home run by any means.

I was just trying to find the barrel.

But it was a good pitch to hit.

I put a good swing on it.

And, you know, luckily I got all of it.

No, there were very few times I went up to the plate thinking about hitting a home run, Layla.

And even when the ball came off my bat, I mean, I knew that I had gotten all of it, but I was still at that time thinking extra bases.

Let's get to two or possibly three, depending on how that ball was going to carry them off the wall.

I got all of it, so I was a bit curious, but it was 45 degrees, it was cold, the ball wasn't carrying, so I was probably thinking two or three bases rather than thinking about that ball leaving the ballpark.

Well, that's a really good question, Mark.

I was about to round first base, and in my peripheral, I saw Tim Raines throw his arm up.

So I then looked out to right center field.

I saw the ball leave the park.

And from that point forward, I remember, because I have newspaper articles and pictures of it, I remember letting out a very primal just scream from the bottom of my gut,

And from that point forward, it was just a blur.

I don't recall hearing the crowd.

I've obviously seen the footage a million times, and I just remember meeting the crew at home plate and getting mobbed, and it was pretty much what I remember, just mayhem from that point all the way until we got into Houston that night.

So to answer your question, I don't exactly remember the crowd.

I just remember this out-of-body experience.

Um, and something that, you know, outside of the birth of my children on, you know, in competition that I've never felt before and, you know, have not felt since.
