At Milwaukee’s County Stadium, Cardinals’ first baseman Mark McGwire loses his 66th homer of the season

On September 20, 1998 — At Milwaukee’s County Stadium, Cardinals’ first baseman Mark McGwire extends his home run record to 65 with a first inning blast and should have had his 66th homer of the season, but his 5th inning fly ball to center field is ruled a ground rule double due to fan interference, which video replays clearly show as the wrong call. Big Mac’s first inning round-tripper, his 32nd hit as a visiting player, breaks George Foster’s 1977 National League and ties 1927 Babe Ruth’s records for home runs hit on the road.
