The greatest play in LSU Athletics history!

I was sitting on a coffee table/credenza in our den when the ball landed in the seats, jumped up, and almost destroyed the chandelier above me. No matter how many times I replay this video, it's like being there (crank the volume up while the wife's gone). 😄

Man, I still get goosebumps watching this

Hawthorne will always be Jim Nasium to me.

❤

Very cool

Morrison: *throws the most disgusting curveball you've ever seen* Jim Hawthorne: "Lanier fans on a fastball"

They should of never been allowed to umpire again.

Haha! Remember the College World Series? Geaux Tigers! 😂

I miss John Hawthornes voice grew up listening him call basketball games with Chris Jackson, shak, Stanley roberts and the rest of that crew

My dad always used to joke about Jim Hawthorne. After a big LSU game, he'd always say "Y'know... I can never tell which side he's routing for."😂😂😂

He has a bob ueker cadence with his call

I’ll bet we all remember exactly where we were and who we were watching the game with on that fateful day.

C’mon Cora, there’s no crying in baseball. I never get tired of watching this. GEAUX TIGERS

The momentum and movement of his body after his foot hit the base deceived the umpire

that “ooooh my” took my out

Never gets old

Anytime the “U” loses is a great day.

Watched it live back then. That was epic.

WOW. Such memories! I had just moved from Louisiana to California when this happened and I yelled so loudly that the whole block must have heard me! And then they beat #1 Wake Forest last night under similar circumstances. Not for the National Championship-yet!

Never gets old.

By far my favorite moment in LSU sports. Even after todays game against Wake Forest

LSU fan here - we were on the golf course with a boom box radio in the golf cart listening to the game. We stopped in the fairway to listen to the last at bat. When Morris headed to the plate my bother said “we’re done, Morris had surgery on his hand and hasn’t hit a home run all year.” The group behind us was getting impatient because we all stopped playing to gather around the cart to hear the last out. Morris swung on the first pitch and Jim Hawthorne said it was going way back there - when Jim called it home run we went nuts on the fairway throwing clubs and screaming. We quit and drove to the clubhouse for beers and a big fat cheeseburger. My dad was still alive and played with us that hot summer day. It. Don’t. Get. Better. Great times!!!!!!!!!!! Geaux Tigers!!!!!

I will forever remember the name "Warren Morris."

Struck Him out on a fastball lol

It REALLY should be mentioned that Warren Morris was a WALK-ON!

miracles do happen. first hr of yr. incredible

This is the last time the sec got screwed by tbe officials. It is 2023.

Still Miss Hawthorne. If he wasn't declaring Jack Hunt scored on the Blue Grass Miracle he was calling out Lanier on a 'breaking fast ball'. Love the guy. The pitch dives into the dirt, great curve, like a tennis top spin forehand, and Hawthorne without blushing declares it a fastball. Geaux Jim. You always made the game better, even if you had to call one different from what was being played.

Hard to believe it’s been 27 Years!!!

I miss Jim Hawthorne so much, he showed so much enthusiasm every game. Les miles pissed him off so he retired early. Literal grew up listening to him. The only voice I know. Still not adjusted to Blair. Honestly listening to games is not the same without Jim.

Hawthorne's call still gives me chills.

With those bats he should be hitting home runs

Totally rigged

Warren's dad, Bill, was one of my football coaches in high school.

Wow! & it had the Mississippi bridge over it too?!? 🤣

I don't blame the 3rd base coach. I would have been livid also.

That is my friend's uncle ong

He ROPED that mutha fucka!!!

Ahhh. The good ole' days. More peaceful times. Trailgates, great food, meeting new folks. Geaux Tigahs, babe!

go LSU Morrison do anything during the whole world series and bang he won the game you'll never forget that moment

I'll never forget that game. Watched it with my dad. I went to LSU. Just watching this still sends chills through me. Geaux Tigers.

Who won the game and series ?

I watched this game. Shaq had 20 points 24 rebounds and 12 blocks I think. Arizona's front line all got drafted and he destroyed them.

Did LSU ever get that baseball back from the fan who caught it?

Thank you. Great video.

Grandma's living room took a beating that day as dad and I celebrated. Mom tried scolding us for being too loud, but dad shut her down.

He was safe and I was in the outfield bleachers. You can’t see it in the video very well but the second base ump that called him out had his back turned to the play looking home. When he saw all the players running off and he field he called him out. Never saw the play. That’s why Sanchez and Mainieri were livid! It was BS!

Anyone else notice tue ump push him into the pile at the plate

What makes it even better is cheating Alex Cora crying on the field
