    Not sure this counts but Eddie Vedder dribbling to Sweet Lew and then attempting a full court shot, Philadelphia Spectrum, October 31, 2009. Fucking awesome!

    Mario Lemieux's last home game/goal before he retired in 1997...

    Hey I was at that game too!

    I drove 7+ hours each way to get there and back in a day. Probably the dumbest thing I've done travel-wise but it was well worth it!

    You went to the 2 games in Edmonton in 1983? I am impressed.

    I was at that US Open match too...great stuff. I need to edit my post to include that one.
    My dad was at the Sampras-Corretja US Open Quarterfinal where Sampras vomited & went on to win the match. I didn't make it to that one.

    September 21, 2001. Shea Stadium
    NYM vs ATL... Mets won 3-2

    not sure if it's historic but it was the first major sporting event in the NY area after 9/11




    i've been to Shea Stadium dozens of times.. i've never heard it as quiet as it was during the moment of silence.. i get chills just thinking about it
    only time i ever cried watching a game. you just knew that was Piazza's moment to shine. i miss shea badly.

    Historic no. Memorable to me, yes.
    It also got me a chance to have a Keystone Light with the legendary Spaceman Bill Lee.

    How about the one i missed?
    Randy Johnson's perfect game in atlanta.

    I was meeting a friend from out of town and we were headed down to the game. We stopped at a bar to get a drink and while there out of no where my recurring corneal erosion flared up. Its painful as hell and the only thing i want to do when it happens is lay with my eyes closed in a dark room.

    So i did not go to the game. :(
    I suck


    ouch. that really blows. sorry to hear that. RJ was my favorite pitcher growing up. was he on the Dbacks that year?
    He was. Sorry for the late response
