About Gina McDonough Expertise Living in Cleveland, and not particularly liking the Browns or Cavs, I had to like ONE of my hometown teams. I also LOVE baseball, so the Indians took care of both things. I have been a true fan since their lonely, losss-filled days at Cleveland Stadium, when I was one of only about 2,000 fans in attendance. I remember players like Corey Snyder, Alan Bannister, Julio Franco (the 1st time...), Doug Jones (the 1st time), Joe Carter, and on and on... Though I`m not a trivia buff, I might be able to help with some questions on more recent stuff.
Question At what game did Manny Ramirez hit a home run (I believe it was a grand slam)off Dennis Eckersley in the bottom of the 9th & Eckersley turned to look at the ball & mouthed "WOW"? I remember watching the game & seeing clips of it many times but can't find any reference to it. Thank you.
Answer Hello,
The game you are referring to took place on July 16, 1995
"A two-out, two-run homer in the 12th propelled the Indians to a 5-4 victory. The result of a terrific at-bat by Ramirez prompted Eck to mouth "Wow!" as the ball disappeared high into the left-field bleachers."
