"When I hit the ball (on October 2, 1978) I knew that I had hit it high enough to hit the wall. But there were shadows on the net behind the wall and I didn't see the ball land there. I didn't know I had hit a homer until I saw the umpire at first signaling home run with his hand. I couldn't believe it." - Bucky Dent in Bucky Dent's Home Run by Harvey Frommer (05/26/2003)
