Pictures don't do it justice, and seeing FOX cut to a shot of Andy Pettitte mouthing "OH MY GOD" is absolutely priceless.

Yesh it was only 2005 but video uploads were still not done regurally as they are done now.

ESPN:
As the baseball soared through the electrified night, you almost wanted the world to stop spinning -- just for a moment -- so you could digest what was unfolding before your eyes.
It was only one swing of
Albert Pujols' bat. It was only one baseball, heading for history. It was only one moment in the life of two franchises.
But it was a swing, a baseball, a moment that seemed to change the world.
In an instant, in one click of a camera lens, in one quick gulp of air, in one flash of Albert Pujols' bat, victory dissolved into defeat. Euphoria transformed into disbelief. Eardrum-rattling noise turned to how'd-that-happen silence.
| When that ball flew over our heads, I turned to Marty Mason, our bullpen coach, and said, 'That's why they pay that guy 100 million bucks.' ” |

in the bullpen |
