T-Man Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I will never forget mine. I was already in the Dallas area for a one week training course and had free tickets, and I still almost didn't go. Man, am I glad that I did. I would've been :mad: at myself it I'd missed it. The game is the one where Kenny Rogers (with the Texas Rangers) threw his perfect game at The Ballpark in Arlington. take_a_b This was the most awesome sporting event I have ever witnessed! jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I regularly attend Brewers games.... ...hence, I really have no candidates. (Well, actually, there was one time when that pudknocker LaRussa came out of the dugout and the entire stadium started chanting "sit down", which was pretty cool) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMRogers Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I went to the Braves-Yankees world series game where they did the All Century team - was awesome to see all those guys (was also cold as sh*t). Pete Rose got the biggest applause. Game itself was nothing major. Probably best live event I ever went to was the Falcons-49ers playoff game in 98 - Dome was absolutely rocking Michael Jordan's first comeback, I went to his third game against the Hawks - he hit the game winner. I went to some stuff in Philly as a kid, but none of the big, big games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickL Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I was at Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS. My Bravos prevailed against those Pirates thank to Franki Cabrera. I actually got tossed a ball during warmups by Steve Avery. Before the game my dad wouldn't let me go into Fulton County Stadium until I had my pre-algebra homework done (i was 12) heh. It was definitely not a fun experience being made to do homework in the shadow of fulton county stadium. (Needless to say, all the odd answers were in the back of the book so there wasn't much work done on those) Ahhhh the memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFFL Chump Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Nomo's no hitter at Coors field on a cold September night. We keep saying "Get one hit and we'll go home" big_shoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 The dates are a little fuzzy, but I think I got em right: 1) Cal's record tieing game - September 5, 1995 2) Final game played at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium - October 3, 1991 3) 2000 World Series-game 2 at Yankee Stadium: The Clemens/Piazza incident - Oct 2000 4) Cal's final game - Oct. 6?, 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I've been lucky enough to see a few very memorable games. 3. Dennis Eckersley's no hitter(for the Indians)against Frank Tanana and the Angels @ 1974. 2. Frank Robinson's first game as the Indians player/manager(also first game ever with an African-American manager). He put himself in as a pitch hitter in the bottom of the ninth and hit a game winning home run(don't even remember the opponent, but it was @1976) 1. The one game playoff between the Seattle Mariners and the California Angels after the Mariners had come back from @ 12 games behind in the last month of the season to tie the Angels for the division on the last dayof the season. I remember Mark Langston lying across the plate after missing the tag on Luis Sojo's inside-the-park grand slam(actually I think it was a triple with an error), but I've never seen a stadium erupt like the Kingdome did that day.
