I brought the question up numerous times in a thread last season, but nobody seemed to have an answer.
What makes Carlton Fisk's walk off home run to force a game 7 in the 1975 World Series more iconic than than David Freese's walk off home run to force game 7 in the 2011 World Series?
Freese's home run was hit farther. It was in extra innings. And most importantly of all, Freese's team went on to win game 7 and the World Series, while Fisk's homer was largely for nothing since his team lost game 7 and the World Series.
Is it because Fisk waved his arms like a spaz?
Still my vote for the most overrated play in baseball history.
