It was the final game of the 2000 NLCS (game 5?). After he hit the homerun, Mets fans completely mobbed the field. He was actually unable to continue running because there were so many people in the way and was never able to make it to second base. I think he was happy enough with the result that he didn't mind not getting credit for the HR, don't you?
