So all of the headlines said that last night might have been the greatest night collectively for baseball. Collectively, possibly, but thought I would bring up the Top 10 baseball moments for me in my lifetime (1965-201?). Looking for your comments and feedback.
#10 - Joe Rudi catches in the 1972 World Series. This lead to a bunch of farm boys coming up with a game called Joe Rudi that we used to play. Ask Doug or Mike Behrens.
#9. - 1977 Reggie Jackson's 3 home runs against the Dodgers. Can't remember if I was rooting for or against Jackson, but he was a compelling figure, along with the rest of the Bronx Zoo
#8. - 1991 World Series - Game 7. Jack Morris vs. John Smoltz. Morris was unbelievable, the hankies were unbelievable, great game.
#7. - 1988 World Series - Kirk Gibson Home Run. Enough said
#6. - 1986 World Series - Bill Bucker error & Ray Knight scoring. The curse, the drama, the fact that I was a HUGE Bill Buckner fan from his days with the Cubs, the heartbreak...
#5. - The Sandberg Game - 1984 versus the Cardinals. I was at the game the day before and we were on our way home during that game. The start of a legend, a win versus the hated rival, and Bruce Sutter took the loss. Let's have an Old Style.
#4 - Cardinals versus Royals World Series 1987 - Don Denkinger your place in my heart is sealed. I can still see Joaquin Andjuar exploding during the Series. Warm place in my heart.
#3 - 1975 World Series - Carlton Fisk Home Run. Back then baseball was bigger than life. One game a week on tv, watching the Big Red Machine, the electricity when he hit that ball. Hard to forget that.
To show how pathetic my team is, the next two don't involve the World Series, but it is what it is
#2 - 2003 NLCS - Game 2. Attended that game, Mark Prior pitching, Sammy Sosa and his steroid infused body almost knocked the scoreboard down. Skybox, Playoff Baseball, Cubs Win....
#1 - 1984 - NLCS - Game 1. What's this thing called playoff baseball? Cubs pound the Padres 13-0, Sutcliffe even homers. No way this team can be beat, World Series here we c...
