About a month ago, we took a look at an ecstatic Charlie Brown celebrating his gloriously unexpected, game-winning home run. But what happened in the moments leading up to that blast? Let’s take a look.

On March 30, 1993, this strip came out in which Charlie Brown hit a game-winning home run off pitcher Royetta Hobbs. Knowing how the game typically goes for poor Charlie Brown, and seeing how ecstatically he celebrates here, kind of makes me wish I’d been at the ballpark to congratulate him.

We’ve all had a similar experience at some point. Or is that just me?
