What parts are most memorable to you?
I don't have any contemporaneous experience with the Maz HR but I have seen videos and read accounts of it.
I assume that seeing the HR would be similar to my experience seeing the Immaculate Reception. I hope to be able to visit the Mazeroski Wall and the spot of the reception some day.
