In your lifetime, during your team's regular season...?

Question

...What's the most memorable game you've seen your team play?

It can whatever game you want. But just during the regular season and just in your lifetime. And what made it memorable?

Answer 1

It was a game I went to in Fenway Park, Yanks vs. Red Sox. The game started at 8 PM Sunday night and I didn't leave the ballpark until after 1 AM. The game was so long because there was a rain delay and it went into extra innings. The Yanks were losing by 1-run in the ninth inning and Papelbon came into to close it out. Someone got on base and then Jeter hit an RBI-single. Then in the 10th or 11th inning, Giambi hit a HR and we won the game. So I may have stayed in the ballpark for over five hours but in the end, it was all worth it.

Answer 2

Probably the game on the last day of the 2006 season when the Twins won the AL Central. I was at the game and it was crazy! After we beat the White Sox, they turned on the Tigers game and we watched the Royals sweep Detroit. The players went crazy and it was great. lol.

Answer 3

the game that Sammy Sosa got caught with cork. Not a good memory. He was my hero at the time and it was probably the most disappointed thing I encountered so far. (I was young)

Answer 4

I have a few!

-  2006 NLCS Game 7.  It lasted to the end!  It was the last game in the 2006 NLCS!  Chavez robbed a HR. Molina hit a HR in the 9th.

Eventually St. Louis won the World Series.

-  The Mets first game after 9/11.  Piazza Homers, gets a standing ovation.  Gives a "Curtain Call"!

-  August 9th, 2005 game in San Diego.  David Wright made his barehanded diving catch that day.  Amazing!

Great Question!

Answer 5

Albert Pujols' 3 homer game (both of them)

Albert Pujols' game winning home run in Houston during '05 playoffs

2006 World Series

White Sox - Mark Buehrle gave up 8 runs in first inning, but still got win against the Twins

Answer 6

2005 National League Division Series Game 4.

I Was at the Game.

Chris Burke hit the game winning homerun in the 18th inning.

Greatest Game I Have Seen In My Lifetime.

Answer 7

Oakland A's v. Toronto Blue Jays three years ago.

I remember i have just be let out of summer school and i was watching the game at home and it was my first summer game.

Jays just clobbered dan Haren in the first two innings and the A's were down 8-0.

But for some reason i didnt stop watching.  Then A's came to bat and Eric Chavez walked!  I was like wow, really!  Down 8-0 and the guy that seems like he never walks, takes a walk now.  Then it was proceeded with hits after hits.  Two homers.  And most memorable was when Milton Bradley hit a two run home which trimmed the deficit in half and it just woke up the entire team. And you can even hear him yell, "Cmon! Lets get back in this game!"   Then he went over and gave Swisher that little cool handshake after the homer.

Then the A's were to continue to cut into the lead. Kielty homers, Thomas doubles.  Then Jays coach Jay Gibbons comes out and removes Ted LIlly and there was a scuffle later in the dugout between the two.

A's will then take the lead two innings later and hold on for dear life for a wild win.

Just so memorable.  And this game was at the Roger Centre too. Which made it so much more memorable because its always nice to hear the silence of the crowd.

Answer 8

Jim Thome, 2007,

It was the day he hit his 500th homer. The WHite Sox had had such a bad season last year, and this was one of the few bright spots. But not only that, it was a walk-off home run, and against the Angels, one of the best in baseball! That was amazing to me!

Answer 9

i was at the yankee red sox game were jeter made that catch and went into the stands and got a bloody nose.

Answer 10

if you mean we went to the game then it's when Biggio hit 3000 and his last game...i almost cried

if you mean watched the game then when the Astros won their first and only pennant!! where i broke the ceiling fan during my celebration jumping, oops not regular season...

Answer 11

Kobe Bryant's 81 points vs Toronto. No other NBA player besides Wilt's 100 will ever come close. I, could really see Kobe getting 100 some day.

Answer 12

I am a Phillies fan, so several popular ones will come to mind for most fans that have been with the team as long as I have you would hear something like 1980 Tug clinches the Championship game or 1993 Joe Carter hits the bomb against the Phillies but I will go witha game that I was at as a 15 year old, the Phillies were hosting the SF Giants, I am in Philly visiting relatives and we went to back to back games, first night is a 15 inning affair but the next night Terry Mulholland no hits the Giants while I am in attendance...great game to be at...especially for the 400 people who were actually there!

Answer 13

the rays beat the red sox on a longoria walkoff earlier this year

Answer 14

Memorable regular season game? Hmm.

Probably the nightcap of the Yankees-Red Sox doubleheader in Fenway in 2006. I remember Jason Giambi hitting a 2-run homer in extra innings to give the Yankees the lead and eventually the win. The memorable part is I knew it was gone the second he connected and I laughed my a$$ off because I knew the game was over.

It was part of the 5-game Fenway sweep (a.k.a. Boston Massacre, Part II) that pushed the Yanks' division lead from 1.5 games to 6.5 games. Good times.  

Answer 15

It was when the Mets and Giants went into extra innings and Armando Benitez got 2 balks and then Carlos Delgado homered in the 12th inning to beat the Giants  

Answer 16

It would have to be last season, when the tribe won the AL Central division. All of Cleveland was alive and it was just a happy game! The team was filled with the greatest joy. Clevelanders were cheering and believing that day. I will remember that game for my life!

Answer 17

Definetly the raptors vs. wizards game the  the wizards threw the ball in the air  thinking they won the game with 5 seconds left on the clock and peterson catching it and making the three ball sending the game into ot and the raps won

Answer 18

I think it was in like 2000 I was at a Cubs @ Phillies game and Corey Patterson made like 3 diving catches in Center and Sammy hit a homer. It was the first Cubbie game I ever saw so it was special

Answer 19

The 30-3 killing of the O's last season. I actually felt bad after we have gotten to almost 20 runs and my mom told me not to feel bad. So I didn't.

Answer 20

The game a few years ago between the A's and Angels. Jason Kendall was on third base and Fransisco Rodriquez was pitching. He threw a pitch and was upset about the call so when the catcher threw it back he carelessly swated at the ball with his glove. He failed to catch it and the ball rolled a few feet away from him. Kendall broke for home and scored. It was memorable because I have never seen that play before.  

Answer 21

I forget which year (guessing '98) Bernie Williams blasted a grand slam off Baltimore's Armando Benitez.  Next batter was Tino Martinez and Benitez drilled Tino right between the numbers.  Benches cleared and I remember watching Darryl Strawberry laying the smackdown on some of the O's in THEIR dugout!

It's was bedlam!

Answer 22

October 1st, 1992  Royals vs. Angels

George Brett (my favorite player of all time) singled in his 1st at bat to get his 3,000th hit.

Answer 23

mets beating the braves in their first game after 9/11 at shea.

mike piazza hits a game winning homer in the 8th.

Answer 24

I saw the Mets beat the Yankees in Shea Stadium in July,1999. Matt Franco singled off of Mariano Riveria in the bottom of the 9th inning.

In 1970, I saw Nolan Ryan, as a Met, retire 26 Phillies in a row at Shea Stadium.

(that was a good question, If I could give you 2 stars I would!!)

Answer 25

It was two years ago when the Dodgers rallied a 9th-inning comeback against the Padres by hitting four consecutive home runs to tie it up. Then, when down again in the 10th inning, Nomar Garciaparra hit a two-run home run to give the Dodgers a crazy 11-10 victory. I remember this because this haven't happened since 1964 and it only happened three times in MLB history so I was glad to witness such a rare, dramatic game.

Answer 26

Hmm probably about 6 years ago I was at a pads vs. cards game in St. Louis. It went into extras and around the 13th it started raining. Pujols hit a walk-off in the 16th, that was great.

I was also there the day Pujols hit 3 home runs. That day was special because it was buddy walk day which is sponsored by Albert's foundation.

Answer 27

Ripken Jr.'s last game.

I'm not old enough to remember them being any good lol.

Answer 28

Jon Lester's no hitter was the best for me.  That young man made such an amazing come back after beating cancer and to accomlpish that was tremendous.  I was so happy for him and his parents.  As for the most fun, it was the Mothers Day miracle in 2007.  What a game!  I had a migraine and was listening to the game with a cloth covering my eyes and I jumped up and watched the end and my migraine was gone!  It was so exciting!

Answer 29

Mike Piazza beating the SF Giants back in May of 2004 with a walkoff homerun over the glove of a jumping Barry Bonds in extra innings.  I was at the game, sitting in the bleachers about 10 rows up and the ball was right at me, but short.  The entire bleacher section spent the whole game heckling Barry, who did nothing that game.  Couple walks and a couple outs.  And then he missed the catch that allowed the game to end.

The most memorable thing was that a year or 2 later, I got a Mets bottle opener as a Christmas gift.  One of those ones that makes noise when you use it on a bottle.  The great thing was that it was the call of Piazza's HR that game.  I had to go back and look it up to make sure, but I used to play the thing over and over just to hear it again.

"Brower delivers.  Here's a drive, deep in the air to left field, back goes Bonds to the track, near the wall....jumping....IT'S OUTTA HERE!  Mike Piazza wins the game with a line drive homer over the left field wall.  The Mets win it in the bottom of the 11th inning!"

Answer 30

I'm not in the greatest "thinking mood" so i'm just gonna say last year Yankees Orioles when i saw Arod hit a walk off grand slam.  

Answer 31

I'd have to say the best game I've seen on TV was the first game of the double header between the O's and the Rangers on... August something.

It was memorable both ways, because on the one hand, my Rangers scored 30 runs in one game, and on the other hand, my Orioles had the worst game they've ever played in my memory.  I mean, they give up 30 runs and only score 3?  Come on!

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.  At least we entered the record books together.

And the most memorable game I've been at live was just the other day, on Monday between the Yankees and Rangers.  The walk-off grand slam was terrific!  The Rangers sure silenced all of those Yankee fans!  

After the game, there were fans screaming and I had my Ian Kinsler jersey on so they were like "ARE YOU A RANGERS FAN!!!"  and I yelled, "Heck yeah, I am!"  and we were high-fiving each other in excitement.  Chants were breaking out all over the stadium... "LET'S GO RANGERS!" and we were doing the Byrd... The atmosphere was terrific!
