"It's going back, back, back...it's gone!" It's the sweet sound of the home runs, and Monday night in New York, the annual Home Run Derby featured Prince Fielder, Chris Davis, Robinson Cano, Yoenis Cespedes, David Wright, Pedro Alvarez, Michael Cuddyer, and Bryce Harper swinging for the fences with Cespedes taking the crown.

Now, as fans enjoyed watching the Cespedes battle out seven other Major League Baseball superstar hitters, let's look back at some of baseball's best home runs in the history of the game:

    Babe Ruth Call His Own Shot

    Babe Ruth stepped up to the plate on October 1, 1932 against the Chicago Cubs in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series and hit one of the most famous home runs in baseball history. Cubs fans were taunting the Great Bambino, so Ruth pointed to centerfield, past the flagpole, and the next pitch, he did as he said would do: hit a home run.

The Giants announcer famously yelled, "the Giants won the pennant, the Giants won the pennant," after Thomsen's home run.

    Kirby Puckett's Game 6 home run in  the 1991 World Series sent the Minnesota Twins to a Game 7 and it is a home run that Twins fans won't ever forget. Jack Buck famously called the home run, and said, "We will see you tomorrow night!"

    Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire Hit No. 62 in 1998, Both Pass Maris

    In 1998, you were either a Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire fan, or just baseball fan because that summer was special. The 1998 home run race is now marked with an asterisk due to steroids, but it was a year that captivated the sport of baseball. McGwire hit No. 62 first, and then Sosa did. McGwire's most famous for lifting his son up after crossing the plate, and Sosa for his hop and kiss to sky. One would could argue the summer of 1998 could be known as the greatest home run chase, and even as it is unfortunately marked with steroids today, baseball fans won't forget that summer.
