May 30, 1894 - Bobby Lowe's (4) HR performance. It was said after his second HR fans were throwing coins for him. True meaning of a FANatic for the game.

October 8, 1908 - Game between Giants and Cubs to determine the league championship. The game was played because of Merkle's boner. Accounts indicate it was a crazy scene at Coogan's Bluff.

Any game in the early 20th century that would have had HOFers pitching against each other. Would really liked to have seen a Joss and Johnson matchup.

May 25, 1935 - Watch Ruth hit his final HR (actually three that day)

Any game in the summer of 1976 that Mark Fidrych started - I remember watching him pitch on TV. It was so different to see someone grooming the mound and talking to the ball.
