Most historic game you saw in person

I was a young man working at Lowe's in 1974 and 1975 and won an Enterprise Paint contest sending me on trips to Super Bowls IX and X. Super Bowl IX was to be played in the New Orleans Super Dome but not being completed, rusty ole Tulane Stadium, instead hosted the Steelers vs Vikings. The night before my group went bar hopping in Fat City and saw Vikings Bill Brown #30 (with his short hair flattop) bellied up to a bar, knocking down a few cold ones and mingling with fans at midnight. Very cold weather and low, dark clouds engulfed the stadium at game time. O.J. Simpson sat a few rows behind me and he signed autographs throughout the game. The score was 2-0 at the half and the Steelers defense mauled the Vikings all day. I took 6 rolls of Super 8mm film that day.

Super Bowl X at the Orange Bowl was played in nice Miami weather. Hollywood filmed a portion of a movie that day (Black Sunday) with the Goodyear blimp floating overhead capturing shots of the Orange Bowl spectators (so, I'm in the movie...ha ha). Actor Robert Shaw roamed the sidelines during the game as filmmakers cameras rolled. Lynne Swan made his famous catch. And, at halftime, I stood shoulder to shoulder, side by side at the urinals, with Jack Nicklaus.

I was at the game Kevin Brown was booed off the mound in Yankee Stadium and broke his own hand in frustration, pretty much ending his career as an effective pitcher.

That's all I've got.

Game 7 of 2003 ALCS, the Aaron Boone HR vs the Red Sox. It was also the best game I was ever at. Pedro was amazing and should not have been taken out. Giambi kept the Yankees in the game with two solo HRs.

The 2003 All-Star game here in Chicago. I was there with my wife, who is a big baseball fan. She had to go to the bathroom, left our seats and the AL was down 6-4. Comes back and had missed it all. Hank Blalock hit a 2 run HR to put AL on top. I thought the atmosphere at the game was unbelievable. I also met Andre Dawson and Harmon Killebrew at the game. So cool!
