In the 75 World series I was at game six and saw Carlton Fisk win the game as he jubiliantly waved his hands for the ball to stay fair and it was such a great moment I was only 13 then.Is that lucky?,LOl ;-)

Jim Abbotts no-no on 9/4/93 again the Cleveland Indians. Boggs made an incredible play early in the game to save the no hitter. Who knew at the time how big that play would be.

It was an incredible moment to watch a pitcher with one hand achieve such an amazing feat.

I don't have any legendary games under my belt, but I was able to get to see the Rays beat the Phillies in Game 2 of the World Series last year (the Rays only win). The atmosphere was electric and it was an experience that I will never forget.

I got to see Craig Biggio get his 3,000 hit here in Houston.

This one is easy.

May 12, 1970 Wrigley Field, Chicago. Braves vs. Cubs.

Pat Jarvis serves up Ernie's 500th home run. I'm in the left field bleachers. The ball comes zooming toward me but the guy in front of me has the chance. Ball bounces off his hands back onto the field. Rico Carty picks up the ball and runs it in to give to Ernie.

It was a chilly, misty day, attendance 5,246 though I'm sure you'd find 20,000fans in Chicago who would claim to have been there. Me, I can prove it as I got my picture in next days paper.

ALCS Game 5 (October 18, 2004).
Stage 2 in Boston's epic comeback/NY's epic collapse.
14 innings, five hours and forty-nine minutes.
David Ortiz won it with a walk-off single with two outs in the bottom of the 14th, after a 10-pitch at bat...
I still haven't heard another Fenway roar to match it.

Game 2 of the 2004 ALDS Twins vs. Yankees. The Yankees won in extra innings.

Is that asterisk to denote the team that stole the Yankees' "Mystique" and "Aura" and holds them still?

You have to admit the fortunes of the two franchises switched in 2004 and the Yankees are the ones who seem to seldom get things right now.

Of course, that could change again, but for five years it's been true.

Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS when Aaron Boone hit the HR off Tim Wakefield. One often forgotten fact is Jason Giambi hit two solo HRs in the game to keep the Yankees close.

The Mets were playing two Sunday games with Philadelphia at Shea, and I was set up at a baseball card show in the picnic area beyond the left center field fence. When game one started the show slowed down, so I spent some time peeping through the fence by the visitors bull pen watching Steve Carlton throw a complete game. When game two started I headed back to my spot to peep through the fence to catch the game and almost bumped heads with Steve Carlton who was peeping through the fence from the other side to check out the card show. We both laughed and then talked for awhile. A memory that will last forever.

I was at that card show/baseball game and made my first "big" hobby purchase,, a Nr Mint-Mint set of 1975 Topps for $100
