The night after that Home Run happened both teams had to fly back to St. Louis for the next game I have posted this before but a great story:

On the way back to St. Louis to play the game 6 Brad Ausmus Houston's Catcher that caught for Lidge when he gave up the home run had the pilot to announce after takeoff:

“We've reached our cruising altitude of 35,000 feet. I’ve turned off the fasten seatbelt sign and turned off the cabin lights. If you look to the left of the aircraft, in the next two or three minutes you might be able to catch a glimpse of Albert Pujols’ home run ball.”
