40 George Brett's pine-tar homer, 1983 July 24, 1983: Brett's go-ahead homer off Goose Gossage in the 9th is originally ruled an out due to excessive pine tar on his bat -- and sets off a memorable Brett firestorm. The home run is later allowed and the game continued.

31 Fernando Tatis: second grand slam in one inning April 23, 1999: Tatis pulls off one of the most amazing feats in major-league history; both homers for the Cardinals' third baseman come off the Dodgers' Chan Ho Park.

30 Joe DiMaggio extends hitting streak to 45 games July 2, 1941: DiMaggio breaks Willie Keeler's record of 44 straight games with a hit by knocking a 6th-inning homer off Boston's Dick Newsome -- his only hit of the game.

29 Cal Ripken homers while breaking Gehrig's record Sept. 6, 1995: In one of baseball's most memorable moments, Ripken plays in his 2,131st consecutive game -- and homers in the 4th inning of the Angels' Shawn Boskie.

28 David Justice: Game 6, 1995 World Series Oct. 28, 1995: In a tightly-fought series between Atlanta and Cleveland, the Braves win the clincher 1-0. Justice's 6th-inning blast off Jim Poole is the only run.

20 Babe Ruth's called shot, 1932 World Series Oct. 1, 1932: Does the Babe really "call" his homer? Well ... maybe. Ruth is being ridden hard by both the Cubs bench and Chicago fans, who toss lemons at Ruth while booing him thoroughly. It is Ruth's nature to give as good as he gets, so when he faces Charlie Root in the 5th inning of the third game, he is ready to answer. Cubs fans can only muster a single lemon rolled out to home plate. Here's how the next day's New York Times described the scene: "In no mistaken motions the Babe notified the crowd that the nature of his retaliation would be a wallop right out of the confines of the park. Root pitched two balls and two strikes, while Ruth signaled with his fingers after each pitch to let the spectators know exactly how the situation stood. Then the mightiest blow of all fell. It was a tremendous smash that bore straight down the centre [sic] of the field in a tremendous arc, came down alongside the flagpole, and disappeared behind the corner formed by the scoreboard and the end of the right-field bleachers."

19 Ted Williams homers in final at-bat Sept. 28, 1960: Only 10,454 fans witness the grand exit, at least, in part, because nobody knows it is Williams' last game. The Sox still have three games left to play in New York; but after the Baltimore game, Williams announces he is retiring four days earlier than expected.

18 Hank Greenberg's 9th-inning grand slam wins pennant Sept. 30, 1945: On a dark, misty, rainy afternoon at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis, Greenberg, who returned to the Tigers after 3 1/2 years in the Army just a few months earlier, clears the bases to give the Tigers a 6-3, pennant-winning victory over the Browns. The Browns had intentionally walked Roger Cramer with men on second and third and one out to load the bases for Greenberg. Nelson Potter tries to sneak a screwball past the slugger, who sneaks a booming shot just inside the left-field foul pole.

17 Dave Henderson: Game 5, 1986 ALCS Oct. 12, 1986: The Angels are one out -- and strike -- from the World Series when Henderson hits a 2-run homer off Donnie Moore to give the Red Sox a lead (the Angels tie the game before Boston wins in 11 innings). The Red Sox take the next two as well.

16 Ozzie Smith: Game 5, 1985 NLCS Oct. 14, 1985: The Wizard shocks the Dodgers with his game-ending homer off Tom Niedenfuer -- Ozzie's first career homer batting left-handed.
