Answer 1

When that little kid stole the fly ball from the Orioles OF and the umps were dumb enough to call it a home run.

Answer 2

Bucky Dent's Homer against the Redsux

Answer 3

Jim Abbott's no hitter vs. the Indians in September 1993, that certainly was a great moment in Yankee history.

Answer 4

June 7 .2003 Yanks at wrigley field. Cubs beat Roger Clemens

Answer 5

20-October-2004.

Probably not a very popular one, granted.

I've visited Yankee Stadium three times, and I'll cite my first game there as my favorite -- 17-September-1978.

Answer 6

July 18, 1999

Yogi Berra Day

New York Yankees vs. Montreal Expos

David Cone pitches a perfect game.

I was at that game!

Answer 7

The times I spent watching the games with my father back in the 1960's.  Other than my first game, which actually was across the river at the polo grounds, I can't remember many details, but that wasn't the most important thing to me anyway.

Specifically,  Bat Day 2, 1965.  Somewhere I still have my Tom Tresh autographed model..  Well used, of course.

That was probably the last Yankee game I went to before i developed my Red Sox allegiance.

Answer 8

Every time they lost the World Series(:

YANKEES SUCK

Answer 9

1996 ALCS when Jeffery Maier, 12 year kid stuck his glove out over the field and the ball hit his glove and when into the stands. The umpire called it a home run. The home run was hit by Jeter. They would go into extra innings and Berine Williams would hit a home run in 11th and the Yankees would win the game.They  would go on and win the World Series

Answer 10

Bucky Dent hitting that 3 run Homer vs the Red Sox in 1978 in that 1 game Playoff.

Answer 11

2004 ALCS. Best moment period. Go ahead bring on the thumbs down yankee fans.

Answer 12

That catch was one of my all time favorite moments since my son and I were about 3 rows up from Jeter when he dove in the stands.  We are actually in many of the photos taken of that catch.

My personal favorite however was meeting Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra.

Answer 13

the double by edgar martinez 1995

Answer 14

Bobby Murcer having the game of his life the night of the yankee captain Thurman Munsons funeral

Answer 15

Every time I see that the Yankees lost.

Not a Red Sox fan, a Royals fan.

If the Yankees lost all 162 games in a season, I would not be pleased because it wasn't 163.

The Yankees need to return to their glory days, 1965-69 when Horace Clarke was their star, a burned out star, but still the star of the team.

Answer 16

The three homeruns by Reggie Jackson during the 77 or 78 world series, not sure when.  That was so glorious for him and for the Yankees. I was a Yankee fan because of Reggie.  When he left, I left too.

I'm back now because of Ivan Rodriguez!! :-)))

Answer 17

Same (July 1, 2004)! It's the only date of a game that I remember. It was such an intense game. 13 innings long and the Yankees really had to fight for it. Derek Jeter's amazing catch was one of the focal points as well. I remember A-Rod thought that they had made a triple play and my brother and dad were jumping up and down, but I knew that he hadn't. I've always been a Yankee fan, but it was mostly just because I lived  in New York having been born in the Bronx, but that was the year I really got into it. I even wrote down every single play of some games in a binder that season which I unfortunately lost or misplaced. Since then, the Yankees have stepped up on my priority list :)

This will be a really important series with the Yankees back in the standing and the fact that this is the last meeting between the Red Sox and Yankees at this historic stadium. But there will definitely be great memories in the new one!

Answer 18

Losing the ALCS in 2004. By far the biggest choke job in any sport.

They won game 3 19-8!! 19-8!!! and proceeded to lose the next 4 games to their biggest rival for a spot in the World Series!!!

Thank you for the greatest sports memory of my life.

Answer 19

Johnny Damon hitting the Granny in Game 7 in 2004, thus ending the curse.

I will see you at the game Thursday.  I will be the good looking guy in the Red Sox hat.

Answer 20

July 10,1999 - Shea Stadium

Matt Franco singles off Mariano Rivera in the bottom of the 9th to beat the "Bombers."!!

Answer 21

Reggie's 3 home runs in one game against the Dodgers in the World Series.
