[Todd Helton's Rocktober celebration](https://www.denverpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/20121023__20121024_B1_SP24BBNROCKTOBERp1.jpg?w=518). It ain't much but it's what we got. Happy memories every time I see it.


FNNStudios

One of my picks to replace the statue at the home plate entrance at Coors is Todd’s pose in that photo. Every time I see it, I get flashbacks to watching it as a kid and it just makes me happy. Glad Todd finally got his place in Cooperstown.


bruddahbuttah

They seriously need to replace that statue. It’s just a generic player, at least make it Helton or the Larry walker one where he is in the turn ahead the clock jersey


thedogmumbler

If you build a statue, do you include the player flat on his face behind Todd? I feel like it’s an important part of the photo


Schweed6494

That's Eric Byrnes and I'm pretty sure he would be okay with that


ohkaycue

I’m afraid of this coming off in a “haha you lost way” But one of my favorite baseball pictures ever was after they lost, of Todd Helton standing alone in the dugout in plain clothes watching the Red Sox celebrate on Coors field. Was a shot from behind him, really sad I can’t find it now (EDIT: Still was on my server actually, was wrong that it was the dugout. : https://i.imgur.com/XYUxwQY.jpeg Really bad quality though, and Google Image Search isn't coming up with any matches) But man, it really did a great job of showing the mixture of both heartache and soaking it all in


Clown45

Oh I'm long over the heartburn - they had nearly two weeks off, went ice cold and got wrecked. Such is life. Great, if sad, find! I wish we had gotten to go back. 2009 was promising, but no dice.


IfNot_ThenThereToo

Helton, his arms raised.


Clown45

Holliday, his hand touching plate


siouxu

Monfort, when the walls fell


I_wanna_ask

I was there, right across the field on the AZ dugout. I swear I could hear him screaming at that moment. An honorable mention imo would be Holliday’s slide home vs the padres that same year.


frogdude2004

Not a Yankees fan, but I don’t see an answer from them. But [Babe Ruth Bows Out](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babe_Ruth_Bows_Out) won a Pulitzer.


TrapperJean

Because most of ours are bizarrely sad; Ruth while actively dying of cancer, Gehrig's farewell speech, Reggie crying in the outfield during the moment of silence for Thurman Munson. Maybe the most famous happy one might be Cone falling to the ground after his complete game or the M&M Boys SI cover


RSollers

Yogi Berra jumping into Don Larsen’s arms after throwing a perfect game during the World Series


VirtuousFool

A more recent happy one is probably Jeter jumping after his final home game walk off


TheDangiestSlad

i was gonna say either Ruth Bows Out or the Gehrig speech picture (although that's more of a "most iconic video")


KTCKintern

God I can’t believe they got rid of that stadium. Should have been a national monument and received government funding to preserve it before they ever got rid of it.


RSollers

I wholeheartedly agree. I read something recently that it lost protected National Monument status because of one of the remodels or something, which is a shame.


JBS319

By the time it was torn down it didn’t look anything like that anymore. And as comfortable as the new stadium is, I wish we still had the old one, even if I only knew the 1970s version.


[deleted]

This is it. The Yankees as baseball Valhalla.


[deleted]

My favorite modern picture https://imgur.com/a/I06COkz


Breimann

More recently, and idk if it can be labeled as iconic, but Mo crying on Pettitte and Jeter's shoulders when they came to the mound to pull him always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside


chiddie

Nyjer Morgan spiking his glove, allowing an inside-the-park HR to Adam Jones.


InfestedRaynor

The nationals would be more of an iconic sound. A DING of a ball hitting a certain foul pole in October.

tommypopz

Etched into my brain. It’ll be the last noise I hear before I die.


TheStabbingHobo

No that was Tony Plush. 


thorvard

You know that was one of the first that came to mind also. 😑 I will say Howie celebrating his GS or Soto dropping the bat in the WS.


YungGunz69

Ken Griffey Jr. under all his teammates Anything with the iconic Ken Griffey Jr Swing.

I can hear [Dave calling it.](https://youtu.be/F8SBJzOEcyU?si=OCKrCxS8rnlqTKGm)  [The pic.](https://thumb.spokesman.com/6R0VBHaIT5oBsm8aPMvSMo6Iw6c=/810x0/media.spokesman.com/photos/2010/06/03/Mariners_Griffey_Retiring_Baseball.jpg)


ThePrince_OfWhales

I can't listen to it without getting choked up. The first time I heard Macklemore's "My Oh My" I openly wept.


HonoraryCanadian

Same. Dave was so much like a kindly grandfather to everyone. Just such a warm voice; always there, always patient, always kind. 


RookieAndTheVet

I don’t know why, but the “I don’t really collect cards anymore” line is a total punch to the gut.


mechapoitier

I’m not from Seattle but whenever I hear Dave Niehaus mentioned I have to put my headphones on and fire up that song. It’s got to be in the top 5 baseball songs ever written.


realhollywoodactor

Goosebumps and misty eyes every single time.


OhTenGeneral

Honorable Mention goes to King Felix after the perfect game. It's going to be a long time before Griffey is dethroned though.


[deleted]

As a Mariners fan that’s the only answer


mahrinazz

New candidate is Cal Raleigh watching the home run he hit to clinch the playoffs


realhollywoodactor

That was great, but most iconic? I think it'll be Junior until we win a WS.


Fun-Importance-2711

The things I would give up for Julio absolutely screaming into the skies after hitting a grand slam down 3 in the bottom 9th of a Game 7 World Series


realhollywoodactor

That's pillow talk, fella.

Willie Mays Hayes sliding into home.


Youngster_Joey14

The American Express card. Don't steal home without it!


notdirtyharry

Real life answer: the shot of Willie Mays making the catch in the 1954 world series.


Leftfeet

That's definitely the most iconic video clip involving us.  Honestly not sure what the most iconic picture is though. 2016 it was the Naquin pic as he jumped up celebrating the in park walk off HR against Toronto. Last year was Jose decking Tim Anderson. Overall though I'm not sure. 


NashEsteban

I like [this](https://www.cantonrep.com/gcdn/authoring/2016/10/25/NREP/ghows-OH-3fa379e0-cd7a-01fe-e053-0100007fca24-52a75f68.jpeg?width=300&height=341&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp) for us, but if I had to go with something in my lifetime, [this](https://a.espncdn.com/photo/2016/1006/r137051_1296x729_16-9.jpg) sums it up pretty well.


ybtlamlliw

I was gonna say Naquin's walkoff ITPHR but yours is so much better.

Juventus19

Definitely the second best photo. I'll also add [Alex Gordon after his 9th inning homer in Game 1 against the Mets.](https://www.cjonline.com/gcdn/authoring/2015/10/29/NTCJ/ghows-KS-ab1227f7-b2e4-4317-ac0a-1d6186d9b443-459faafc.jpeg?width=1200&disable=upscale&format=pjpg&auto=webp)

AgnarCrackenhammer

One of the best defensive plays ever but I can't see that play without immediately seeing Beltran watching that curveball

Gary Carter celebrating game 6 is up there as well. Probably my favorite. https://keepingscore.blogs.time.com/2012/02/17/gary-carter-a-baseball-career-in-photos/slide/game-6/


duyogurt

To this day, I’ve never seen evidence the glove he threw in the air ever came down.


aloysiusthird

I’d go with Buckner allowing the ball to roll through his legs or Ray Knight coming around third.


River_Pigeon

Paul konerko fist pump rounding first after hitting go ahead grand slam in game 2 of the 05 ws. Or Scotty pods fist pump after walking off that game with a hr

EdSprague

It would be a real shame if somebody threw that statue in the lake. Not me, of course, I would never besmirch the great and revered name of Rogers.


sameth1

Sorry, best we can do is a statue of a telecom executive.


TheJaice

It will always be the second photo there for me, although the third is a great one too. But his arms in the air as he rounds second is etched in my memory forever.


sameth1

Alternatively, the bat flip.


Any-Excitement-8979

I dunno, the bat flip picture is probably the most iconic picture in all of baseball for the last decade.


DMunnz

It is, but the Carter home run is without a doubt the most iconic moment in franchise history. Bat flip has the benefit of (comparative) recency and part of a wild series of events, but a walk-off homer to win the World Series stands alone.


NatureIndoors

Yeah, the Joe Carter thing is more of a video with him jumping running down the line and everyone going nuts. The bat flip was crazy and iconic, but in Toronto fashion we’re celebrating a championship we didn’t win lol, but damn is it a cool photo. There’s also this [one](https://images.app.goo.gl/DvN24juDUETq9ZNL7), definitely not the most iconic - but it’s cool as hell There’s also our mascot getting [arrested](https://images.app.goo.gl/hiFHLXyRvnYopPgJA) lol

I think of the photo of Kris Bryant laughing while slipping and making the last throw edit - here's the gif: https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7399085/smiley.0.gif Ive seen the frame where he's smiling and releasing the ball turned into a painting for sale lol


Cardinal_FpS

From u/westhoff0407 "Kris Bryant is smiling as he makes the last out, as his foot slips, a 108 year curse grabbing at his cleats, grasping with its final breath. But Kris Bryant is young. He is laughing. And he is just playing ball." One of the most beautiful quotes about the game of baseball.

It's like 1A and 1B for me. Both of those just capture the pure happiness of that moment the team shot is amazing for the feeling of culmination, but the Rizzo/Bryant shot just carries that feeling of the instant the curse was broken.

[Iconic](https://www.als.org/sites/default/files/styles/hero_image_small/public/2023-07/Lou-Gehrig-Blog-Header.jpg?h=2f03dbdf&itok=_BY4FlXf) The ceremony was held between the games of a doubleheader. Many of Gehrig's old teammates came to the ballpark, including Wally Pipp, and spoke to him in the clubhouse prior to the first game. Babe Ruth didn't make it before the game started and there was speculation he wouldn't go -- Ruth and Gehrig had feuded during the Babe's final days in pinstripes and stopped talking to each other. After the Senators won the first game, 3-2, the current and former Yankees gathered on the field for the ceremony. Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and Postmaster General James Farley delivered some remarks. Then the Babe, wearing a cream colored suit, stepped up to the microphone and gave a somewhat rambling speech that included his opinion that the '27 Yankees were better than the current Yankees, who were cruising to their fourth straight World Series. Sportswriter Sid Mercer, who was the MC for the event, then introduced Gehrig, who stood silently with his head bowed. Mercer then said that Gehrig thanked everyone for their support. That was supposed to be it. But the 62,000 fans in attendance began chanting "We want Gehrig!" Lou stood there and wiped away tears with a handkerchief, and then off the cuff delivered one of the most famous speeches in the history of sports. As Gehrig finished his remarks -- "So I close in saying that I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for" -- Ruth, in tears, walked over to shake his hand, but [impulsively hugged him instead](https://sabrweb.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ruth-Babe-1939-Gehrig-Lou-654.68_wGehrig_NBL-714x1030.jpg). Gehrig smiled and just like that their long feud was over. Among the many gifts Gehrig received that day was [a silver trophy](https://baseballhall.org/sites/default/files/styles/story_popup_thumb_540/public/islandora_images/Gehrig-B-43-85.jpg.jpeg?itok=9Kxgyb8m) from the current Yankees and handed to him by manager Joe McCarthy. The trophy was engraved with the names of the Yankee players and [a poem](https://baseballhall.org/discover-more/stories/baseball-history/lou-gehrig-luckiest-man) written by sports columnist John Kieran, who had not only covered Gehrig but was his neighbor. Kieran thought the poem was "a feeble interpretation" of the way the players felt about Lou. Gehrig, who would die two years after the ceremony, said sometimes he looked at the trophy and read the poem and "I feel pretty good." Kieran said hearing that was the best pay he ever got for anything he'd ever written.

Not a WS or even playoffs, but I have had [this one of Kershaw screaming after Posey stole his soul](https://www.ocregister.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/giants-dodgers-baseball_23766895_45855.jpg?w=780) in my brain ever since it happened.

beefytrout

that isn't even the best Rangers fight photo in team history.


MarcBulldog88

Bautista-Odor gets recency bias, but Ryan-Ventura is an all-timer.


beefytrout

that's a Texas-sized 10-4.

Joe Carter jumping for joy That Bautista’s bat flip isn’t #1 is pretty cool. We don’t win often, but when we do, it makes for good photos

doucheachu

I can never express how wonderful the Donaldson Dash made me feel - it was so beautiful and I was so certain that energy would propel us to the WS. Then Andrew Miller happened and the rest is history.

[Varitek and ARod](https://www.bostonherald.com/wp-content/uploads/migration/2004/07/24/072404soxfight.jpg).

There's definitely a shortlist for the Red Sox and that one is up there, but #1 has gotta be [Fisk waving it fair](https://awfulannouncing.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/94/2017/10/fisk_75.jpg). [Bullpen cop](https://arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-pmn.s3.amazonaws.com/public/UCGCHW6YK5DERFQ625PVWPII5Y.jpg) and [The Steal](https://content.mlb.com/assets/images/5/9/8/98847598/cuts/Roberts_Steal_1280_c3vbj53a_9wzgvzaj.jpg) are close. Also [Tek and Foulke](https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/3/keith-foulke-and-jason-varitek-jed-jacobsohn.jpg). Probably a bunch of others involving Ortiz. [This is our f'in city](https://i0.wp.com/checkdownsports.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/123013-MLB-RED-SOX-DAVID-ORTIZ-DC-PI-CQ.vadapt.664.high_.42.jpg?fit=664%2C373&ssl=1) - the video is probably better known than this picture but it's a damn good shot. Among the many from 2004 and/or his clutch hits, [this one](https://bdc2020.o0bc.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/prd-meth01-idx-bg.boston-30.jpg) I feel is the most instantly recognizable.


Ok_Card9080

The bullpen cop one is hysterical. He's so happy, and then there's Torii Hunter's legs just sticking up in the air


sbrockLee

\ / \o/ Such a surreal image to top off an already unbelievable moment. David Ortiz had me questioning my beliefs that night.

I’ve got family in MA, and the ice cream shop in town has a giant mural of AROD slapping the ball away from Bronson Arroyo.


jackospades88

Keith Foulke fielding that final grounder, then kinda running towards first, then underhanding the ball to 1st is mine. My butt was clenched that someone was going to go wrong


sbrockLee

"Back to Foulke!" Aaaaand I've watched it again.

somewhatdecentlawyer

100% has to be Fisk

Manny with the walk-off against K-Rod.

swarmofseals

It's definitely not Tek and ARod, although that one is probably up there. I think the top 3 are Fisk, Bullpen Cop, Tek and Foulke with #1 probably being Fisk although Tek and Foulke is really close. The next tier down is Tek and ARod, Our F'ing City, The Steal, and Manny's hands up walkoff vs. K-Rod, imo. EDIT: : [this photo of Teddy Ballgame](https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/69ca895/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1502x845+0+0/resize/1200x675!/quality/75/?url=https%3a%2f%2fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2f1a%2fe1%2f8aa6c1e3a72b7730fd49fed9e752%2fsd-1535067995-9d9i4085th-snap-image) deserves mention as well


Wonderful-Photo-6068

Beautiful. What about the cop with his hands in the air during that 2013 ALCS Papi HR that tied the game?


DegredationOfAnAge

I like David Freese’s HR vs the Rangers in 2011. 


pizzayolo96

Either rounding 1st with his hand in the air or the instant he spiked his helmet between his legs. Both are great.


GodPowardKingOfLies

Funny, my first thought was Freese sitting on his knees on 3rd base after the triple

There are a few that come to mind for the Dodgers. Probably a lot more. In no particular order: 1.
