Jeters 3000 hit game.. guy goes 5 for 5 ... hits a homer for his 3,000 hit... firt yankee to get to 3000 hits.. not sure if I will ever go to another game as historic as that one.

September 24, 1972, four of us drove down to Memorial Stadium (Balt.) to see a Jets game. In those days all tickets at Shea were sold out. So, us diehard Jets fans
would drive to Baltimore or Foxboro (Mass.) to catch a Jets game.

Anyhow, this was really one wild passing game......Joe Namath threw for 496 yards and Johnny Unitas threw for 376 yards. The Jets won it by the score of 44 - 34.
It was certainly the greatest NFL game that I was ever at; and, it was well worth the trip from the Jersey Shore. Plus, got to see my all-time favorites, Don Maynard
and John Riggins, catch 28-yard and 67-yard passes, respectively from Broadway Joe.

Still have my ticket stub...... Check-out the $6.60 price....and we had great seats 3 rows up on the 50 yard line.

The absolute greatest sports event that I have seen was the 5th game of the 1956 World Series. Even though I was not at Yankee Stadium that day,
it is still worth noting here. I saw the entire game on TV in the comfort of my folks home in Hillside, NJ.



Don Larsen's 96th (and last) pitch to complete his PERFECT, No-Hit game.

Hi Ted--

Didn't you attend a memorable game in 8/4/85?

I guess you're alluding to Tom Seaver's 300-game win at Yankee Stadium.

Yes, we were there....but, I have long ago forgotten it

Maybe not historic, but 1977 at Yankee stadium. Toby Harrah and Bump Wills hit back-to-back inside the park home runs. Both to right field. Pretty sure it was Piniella. I think it is the only time it has ever happened.

Ted--


I'm sure you thought the highlight of the day was when the yankees retired phil rizzuto's number 10 in the pre-game ceremony.
