In 1951 NY Giant, Bobby Thompson hit a 150 foot home run in the Polo Grounds ballpark to win the National League Pennant, over the Brooklyn Dodgers. A puny, meager flyball in most ball parks....but it became famously known...”As the home run heard round the world!!!”.
David Jolly won by a little less then 4,000 votes. End result: A win is a win is a win!!! Congrats Me. Jolly!!!

As an added sweetner, it is another slap-down for King Obama.

Thompson's home run went over the left field wall at the 315-ft marker.

This is 100% incorrect. The Bobby Thompson shot cleared the 315 ft marker in left field. The homer you're talking about is called "The Homer in the Gloamin'" hit by a player named Gabby Hartnett in 1938 for the Chicago Cubs.
