In 2003, in a game against the Houston Astros, nearly 23,000 fans almost died when Brian Giles hit a ball with so much power, that when it collided with the roof of the Astrodome it caused it to immediately collapse. The nearly 23,000 screaming fans were miraculously saved when Brian began slugging away the falling pieces of the roof. Since this event, Brian Giles has not been allowed to bat in any major league park with a roof.
