Though I'll admit it may be because that August 7 walk-off homer was the only game I went to that season. Never had a more exciting experience at PNC Park. Everyone in the section was either already leaving or getting impatient for the George Thorogood concert. Except me and a drunk guy a few rows back, cheering loudly and enthusiastically. After Pedro's big hit, the crowd went nuts (obviously), and the drunk came down and asked my permission to give me a hug, telling me that we two were the reason for the win.   I think Pedro deserves most of the credit, though.
