To this day, he gets mobbed at LSU tailgates for pics and autographs. Dude is beyond a legend in Baton Rouge

Just used Warren on immaculate grid and felt compelled to come back to relive this. CWS was (and still is) the best part of growing up in Omaha.

I work in radio in Alexandria, LA, the hometown of Warren Morris. Warren just guest-hosted a radio show we do here, and we watched this video. He had a good time reading the comments. Warren said that he did get the ball back. The guy who caught it wasn't an LSU fan but sought Warren out after the game and said, "I think you'll might want this." He said the bat was one that he only used in this game, and it is currently in the LSU hall of fame. His batting gloves were given to a boy whose family was a friend of the coach. But only a couple of years ago the boy (who's grown up now) shipped the batting gloves back to Warren. As you probably know, Warren did play in the pros for a while, and he has now been a successful banker in town for a long time. He is also probably one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

I was there, 9 years old, in left field. It was a truly iconic moment. To this day, there has not been another event to that level of energy. What a great memory.

No doubt, he will always be a hero in the state of Louisiana. A great moment in LSU Baseball history.

I never tire of watching this magical moment.

I was there in the Right Field Bleachers! Ball landed a few rows to my left. Trying to locate whether I can be seen. What a game!

Alex Cora at SS wishing that he had stolen signs at the plate right when that walkoff happened...

I went to LSU and was watching this game on TV with my dad. It is still the most exciting memorable moment in the sport of baseball. Great memory. Geaux Tigers

Man, this still gives me major league goose bumps watching this. Such an incredible moment in time.

LEGEND!! I will never get tired off watching this. Sorry Joey Cora, sorry Miami. LSU had destiny.

This article was blown up and framed at my orthodontist, huge Times Picayune! Had one in every single room and the waiting room. Even in the bathroom! Such a cool win.

my dad grew up with him and was his best friend. i got to talk to him at the 16 world series

Miami did eventually finally breakthrough in 1999/2001, so this didn't haunt Hurricane baseball for years

Threw that curve one too many times!!! Warren was sitting on it!!! He knew it was coming!!!

one of the preachers at this church i used to go to knew warren, and he got to come and speak and signed a baseball for me

Dude is a legend at LSU

I wish people would talk about this more.

That pitch was six inches below the strike zone and he still hit it out of the park. Incredible!

Most iconic home run in lsu baseball history!

0:13 Sean McDonough: Now Warren Morris... hits a deep drive down the right field line, that ball is... GONE!!! LSU WINS THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES ON A HOME RUN BY MORRIS! Sean McDonough makes some good calls. Warren Morris will NEVER forget his first home run that season.

The ultimate boy’s fantasy.

Tommy White with an almost identical homer as Warren Morris to send LSU to the College World Series

Greatest moment in College World Series history

The thrill of victory and agony of defeat all in one right there

We were driving from Louisiana to Tennessee on a church retreat for a week. We listened till about the 6th inning I think but eventually we lost reception and couldn't pick it up the rest of the way there. Of course we all thought we probably lost. I'll never forget the look on Greg's face when he burst into our room with the news his mom just gave him on the phone: we won it 9-8 on a walkoff homerun in the bottom of the ninth. I knew I would get to watch it when I got home because i told my mom to record it, and I did get to watch it. But it will always bother me the fact that I didn't get to see it live as it happened and celebrate in the moment. That part kinda sucks, I'm not gonna lie.

Morris-Father showing Morris-son how it's done.

He just went to my uncles funeral he’s rlly nice👍

For some reason college baseball doesn’t have many well known moments like football and basketball. This has to be among the top, the only two out game winning come from behind home run in any level of baseball according to Wikipedia.

FINAL LSU 9 MIAMI 8

Was everyone aware that a Morris, Morrison @ a Morris either played or coached in this championship baseball game between the Hurricanes and the Tigers in 1996 ?

don't you love it didn't do anything during the whole world series and hit song run he'll never forget it go tigers

332 down the line and he hit it about 335...just high enough without a robbery. Absolutely beautiful.

Rosenblatt had a special charm to it. TD Ameritrade looks so bland.

They said not a single home run the entire season til this, talk about unexpected!

I remember watching this with my pops man talk about unreal we were praying for something like this and it happened Hail Mary of baseball lol

That alex cora on the ground

Hard to believe it’s been 27 years!!!!

What dreams are made of .....

0:12 - Dude looks like, "I'm about to go yard on this MFer."

Imagine if they had Twitter back then

Never gets old geaux tigers

Legend for life...I was watching from my shitty little apartment in San Diego

Alex Cora wishing he had a trash can right about now...

Wow, I Never Knew Miami (The U) Was So Close To Winning The CWS In 1996. What A Heart Breaker That Was.

So did Warren Morris go onto the MLB after this?

He preached to us one time!

That bat has soo much pop 😭

Everyone here’s because of Tommy Tank BUT Morris is still the 🐐

0:32 Alex Cora

That one Miami player just lays on the diamond dejected.

TOMMY TANKS
