I vividly remember watching this game from Sluggers in Wrigleyville with a bunch of college buddies after collectively deciding not to go to the game. I was just a year out of baseball myself and immediately yelled, “STEROIDS!” at the screen when we saw this unnatural blast, which as you may recall, was quite the taboo declaration in 2000. That prompted a couple of hours of not-so-good-natured, Old Style-fueled, yelling, screaming and biting (I said I was sorry, Sarah) which eventually led legendary White Sox Minnie Minoso (who just happened to be at Sluggers accepting free drinks…imagine that…) to claim I was probably right, but my vehement defense of my argument was driving away all the women. Story of my life, Minnie.
