Johnny Bench night - Johnny is being honored as a Red about five games before he retires. Very nice little ceremony before & after the game. But... during the game, Johnny comes up to back and jacks one out. Crowd goes nuts... I'm standing on the couch at home cheering... my mom is crying...

 

Doesn't get better than that for a "moment".

4.) Minor one here: Tino Martinez' first at bat against the Yankees since leaving. The crowd gave him a well desserved standing ovation, and he hit a home run to boot. One of the rare times I cheered AGAINST my team. I was always a Tino fan, and still am.

I was at this game!!! OMG WHAT A GAME AND JUST A GREAT NIGHT!!!

Thanks.

-The Yankees winning the 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000 World Series.

-Jim Leyritz's 15th inning game winning home run in Game 2 of the 1995 ALDS and his 8th inning game tying home run in Game 4 of the 1996 World.

-Tino's grand slam against the Padres.

-Wells' perfect game.

-Cone's perfect game.

-The Derek Jeter flip play (UNBELIEVABLE)!!!

-Tino, Brosius and Jeter's home runs in the 2001 World Series.

-The night of Clemen's 4,000th strike out, 300th win and Tino's first game back to the stadium after signing with the Cardinals (I was at this game)!!!

1) Mookie - Buckner

2) Robin Ventura's Grand Slam Single

 

Worst Moment seeing Kenny Rogers come out to pitch the 10th in Game 6 99 NLCS

[Guest Mosaicv2]

also the moment where Wade Boggs & the host of Red Sox players in tears after losin game 6 of the 1986 World Series... & Buckner basically collaspin in the dugout

 

Cubs winnin the 1996 home opener... CUBS WINS CUBS WIN CUBS WIN!!!

 

Bobby Thomson "shot heard round the world"... THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

I'll add another minor one: Edgar Renterias game winning hit in Game 7 of the 1997 World Series. I was pulling for ANYONE To beat the Indians (for the obvious reasons) and made me mark.

Bobby Thomson "shot heard round the world"... THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!

Yeah, so sad how that one turned out, huh?

 

Anyway, another big one I left out

 

Wade Boggs on the horse.

 

And a minor one, but still one I love:

 

Mattingly eating the kid's popcorn.

1997, as a young 15 year old...watching hopelessly as Jaret Wright shut down the Marlins for 7 straight in Game 7 of the World Series. They could barely muster a single. All of a sudden, Bobby Bonilla comes to the plate. He had been one of my least favorite players that postseason, making errors and generally ruining things with his injury. Blasts a deep shot to left and the Marlins have life. Then, the 9th rolls around. Still 2-1. It's already after midnight and I have to get up at 6:00 AM for school. Craig Counsell hits a sacrifice fly and the Marlins are tied and going into extras. Bottom of the 11th...Counsell gets on, and Edgar Renteria singles up the middle, driving in Counsell who leaps into the air and the camera catches it perfect with the fans going absolutely apeshit behind him, and then they show the replay of Renteria rounding first base with the biggest grin on his face, flipping off his helmet as he ran. I played baseball until I was 19 and I always wanted to hit a walkoff homerun and celebrate the exact same way. That was my favorite moment...until this year.

 

Games 5 and 6 against the Cubs. Beckett's masterful performance and the comeback and Bartman ball. And then Games 4 and 6 of the World Series. Alex Gonzalez's walkoff HR and then Beckett shutting down the Yankees.

For me it would have to been a game in Kirk Gibson's last season in Detroit. He comes up to bat in the bottom of the ninth i beleive and proceeds to hit a walk off homerun, the crowd is going nuts and then Gibby gets the curtain call. He retired a few weeks later and it was definitely one last great moment from one of the biggest stars of the 1984 Tigers team.

1995:

 

Baerga flies out to Grissom. The Braves win the World Series. Probably the best moment in my life.

 

1999:

 

...and he walks him!!!!!

 

Kenny Rogers walking in the winning run pretty much got me my ass beat at school the next day but I didn't care- that was such a great game.

 

2001:

 

The Braves had a terrible season and a lot of people didn't give them a chance against the Astros and they went out and destroyed them in a three game sweep. Sure the D-Backs kicked their ass in the next round but I was satisfied with that Astros sweep.

 

(I know AS is hanging his head in shame right now)

 

D-Backs v. Yankees. Game 7. Bottom of the 9th.

 

That almost makes up for Jimmy Leyritz.

 

Almost.

That was last year. Please stop posting.

Whatever same thing...you knew what I meant.

 

Just to clarify, do you actually hate me or just the fact that I really like the Marlins?

Fans have gone to hell.

Hey, its about baseball MOMENTS. How can the future nullify the euthoria we felt in the present? If the Braves lost, it doesn't change the excitement Barron felt at that point, when the Braves beat the Astros.

[Guest Anglesault]

but I was satisfied with that Astros sweep.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Hell, why not? Beating the Braves in '93 was a glorious moment for Phillies fans.

[Guest Anglesault]

Hell, why not?

 

...

 

Never mind.
