I actually don't remember the whole top 10 homer list, but from what I remember it was moronic. Does anyone have the whole list?
Edmonds and Kent? It's only a year later and I don't even remember them. They are clearly behind Tito Landrum.
To talk about Fox and standards is an oxymoron but there has to be some criteria here. First of all: How can Gibson's homer beat Mazeroski's. Game 7 versus Game 1. That's a no-brainer.
Also any big homer in the world series is bigger than one not in the world series. As I recall, Willie Stargell hit a game-winning three run homer in the seventh inning of game 7 of the '79 World series. That is way bigger than most of the ones on the list. I'm sure there are other world series homers we can think of. Ed Sprague comes to mind.
Also, one that takes his team from behind and wins the game is bigger than one that breaks a tie. On that criteria Lenny Dykstra's homer in game 3 of the '86 NLCS was huge.
