RE: Most Memorable Moment
July 15, 1973 was my most memorable live sports moment. On the corner of Michigan and Trumbull in Detroit. Nolan Ryan strikes out 17 on his way to his second career no-no, with the Angels winning 6-0. A Tiger fan all the way, I can remember the chills running through me when the entire attendance in Tiger Stadium stood on their feet, cheering the Ryan Express on for the final three outs in the bottom of the ninth. At 11 years of age, I was able to see history in the making. I still have ticket stubs from the event.

Right now it's Jacoby Ellsbury's walkoff homer last week. First walkoff I had seen in person.
Prior to that, my most memorable was a huge Bo Jackson home run at Fenway around 1989 or 1990. He crushed the ball about 450 ft into the right-centerfield bleachers. Nobody cheered or booed...everyone just went "Oooooo". Bo Jackson in his prime was just awesome to see.

For me it was Bucky "Bleepin' Dent crushing New England and destroying my Red Sox back in 1978. That haunted me for a long time. Probably until Mookie Wilson's grounder went through Bill Buckner's legs. That became my new biggest haunt. And then Aaron Boone took Wakefield deep in the 2003 ALCS. I sat up late and then couldn't turn the tv off fast enough. As we all know, the Sox won it the next year but to me the crushing defeats and sick feelings are more memorable.

RE: Most Memorable Moment
It would have to be a yankee game i went to.It was Ripken's last season and i'm not sure if it was during the 7th inning stretch or after the game when he jogged around Yankee Stadium and shook some of the fans hands.He received a standing ovation it kind of choked me up a little.I'm not a huge Ripken fan but knowing what kind of player and person he was on and off the field made me realize that the game was going to lose a star of the highest caliber and an all around class act.
