Mine is an unforgetable moment on Oct 1, 1949. It was "do or die" for the Yankees vs the Red Sox on a "Saturday in New York". |

There are so many incredible moments in the history of the game, I'll restrict my list to stuff I've seen, either in person or on TV. |

Although the Dodgers played their first home game in Los Angeles on April 18, 1958 it wasn't until July 12, 1958 that I got to see my first major league baseball game. I was 12 years old and my dad took me to see Los Angeles play Cincinnati at the L.A. Municipal Colesium. The Dodgers won eventhough Walt Dropo hit a home run for the Reds. Seeing Junior Gilliam, Pee Wee Reese, Carl Furillo and most of all Duke Snider and Gil Hodges was unbelievable. Prior to the Dodgers coming west I was a huge fan of the Hollywood Stars and my only disappointment of the day was seeing Steve Bilko back in LA --he had been a nemisis to the Stars when he played for the Los Angeles Angels in the PCL and I remember I was disappointed seeing him playing for the Dodgers. |

About 10 years ago or so, my son and I had the distinct priviledge of being able to sit in the broadcast booth, during a live televised broadcast of a game between the twins and White Sox.. We sat with bert Blyleven and Dick Breamer. Ken (The Hawk) Harrelson was sitting in the next booth. And were able to sit with them and converse with them for the "entire" game. Obviously we were polite and didn't speak until they spoke to us, as we did not want to interrupt their broadcasting. My son even got to cut Bert's neck tie in half. As this was something bert let people do years ago. It was called the ugly tie cutting thing-a-magig (forget what it was actually called) |

My favorite moment as the word picture was painted by the Late Great Bob Murphy- Mookie Wilson still hopes to win it for New York. 3-2 the count.and the pitch by Stanley. and a ground ball trickling. its a fair ball. It gets by Buckner! rounding third is Knight. The Mets will win the ballgame! They win! They win! No matter how many times I hear that call I always get goosebumps. |

1976: Chris Chambliss's walk-off HR to win the pennant for the Yankees. I was 11 years old, a rabid fan, and watching late into the night. It was the first pennant they'd won in my then short life and I was thrilled. Less than three months later my family moved to Los Angeles. While I've enjoyed lots of sporting events since then, nothing quite compared to that. |

1. My son's first hit. He is a big strapping lefty and in the third game of his first season where they pitch to each other (no T-ball or Coach pitch) he smacked a double up the middle. He didn't like baseball all that much and was struggling. I was (am) a proud dad. I still have the ball. |

I was fortunate to have attended the 6th game of the 1986 World Series, and I knew when it ended that it would be the most exciting and significant game I would witness in person for the rest of my life. I was sitting in the right field reserved section, pretty high up, and two images come to mind : 1) Dwight Evans kind of collapsing in right field after the winning run scored; and 2) most people to this day saw Buckner let the ball slip through his legs as it was photographed from the front; because of where I was sitting, my lasting image is seeing it from behind. I have never seen videotape from that vantage point. |

1- Listening to Bob Forsch throw his first no hitter in 1978. I put my tape recorder next to the radio and recorded the last inning. |

My favorite event is the one that never happened. Game 6, 1986 World Series. Calvin Schiraldi gets the first two batters out, but then begins to fall apart, allowing the next two runners on base. Manager John McNamara realizes that his young ace reliever is collapsing under pressure. So he calls on the most experienced pitcher on his staff. Tom Seaver walks out of the bullpen, onto the mound, to face his old team, the New York Mets, in the decisive game of the World Series. Even the Mets fans are rooting for him. He quickly kills the rally, the Red Sox win the World Series, and Seaver retires on top of the world. It's kind of like Alexander in the 1926 World Series, but with the added drama of the greatest player in the history of a team facing his old team. |

While I have enjoyed watching many great games and players over the years (mostly on TV as the Norfolk, VA area does not draw too many big leaguers), I have my Aunt to thank for one of my favorite baseball stories. |

Very easy for me. Kirk Gibson's homer in the 88 World Series. You send a story like that to Hollywood and they would send it back. Unreal. |

Ted, are you suggesting that Seaver sat out the series because he had some loyalty to the Mets? I'd need something more than rumors to believe that one. |

Hey Joann, we probably sat right by each other for this game. My friend and I took off to see one of the final games because I had never been to Tiger Stadium...this was the only game we could get in because of our schedules so we flew in the day before and took off for home early the next morning. We also chose to sit in the right field overhang because it just seemed appropriate to see the game from there. We got their in time for batting practice and Jim Thome was hitting screamers at us. The fans were merciless towards Manny Ramirez. |

Cool Dan. Looks like your seats were a few sections down from mine. Kirk Gibson sat out there for the last game at TS too, with his family. Oh, and I paid $15 for the tickets thru the prorated season tix package. $15 for the game, $25 to park for that game. That's Detroit. |
