    1993 World Series, despite the result. 

    I'll go with the '08 World Series although the '93 one was great also.
    Well of course ‘08 is better cause we won. But I was an adult by then. It was fun and exciting, but it doesn’t touch the excitement of your team playing in the World Series when you’re 10 years old. 

    A runner-up sporting event for me is Wrestlemania 10. I’m a big Bret Hart guy. 
    2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea. Hear. Now. 2022: Camden, 2024: Philly 2, 2025: Pittsburgh 1

    Game 5, 2016 World Series. I was in Wrigley.
    Still stuns me to think Dexter Fowler was the first black man to bat in a world series for the cubs.
    Was that the game Arodis Chapman pitched three innings?

    Yeah, the cubs used him up that year.
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    That was one of the gutsiest performances I have ever seen from a pitcher.

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    It's really difficult to pick just one. 
    I guess I'll have to go with the NY Rangers winning the Cup in 1994. 
    But the Giants beating the Pats in 2008 is damn close.

    Miracle on Ice just barely edged out the Rangers’ 1994 cup run. 

    It was similar for me in how beating dirty Jersey was almost more meaningful than beating Vancouver for the Cup. Jersey was USSR, and Vancouver was Finland.

    I only put the Rangers ahead because I was seven when Team USA played the Russians, and while I watched it, I don't have the same emotional connection to it. 
    But you're right: Jersey=Russians, Vancouver=Finland

    So many Ali fights I wish I was alive for.

    Rumble in the Jungle
    Ali vs Liston I
    Ali vs Spinks II

    and the two you mention above
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament is the best sporting event imo.

    My favorite year would have to be 2017, when my alma mater made a Cinderella run to the Final Four, beating a couple of teams/coaches that I really don't like.

    I'm assuming your alma mater is South Carolina.  Frank Martin is one of the best coaches in the NCAA.  K-State really screwed themselves by chasing him out of town.

    Oh man, I was at the playoff game in 1998 when they came through Arrowhead and beat my Chiefs.  Gut-wrenching loss to the eventual SB champs.

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Super Bowl LII Eagles over Pats 41-33.  i mean a backup QB beating the cheating scumbags for our 1st Super Bowl win. Philly Philly for a TD.  How can it get better than that?   one of the best nights of my life.

    it was sweet making the Pats and their fans eat horse shirt. and yes I know what you are referring to but it was better for that.

    You are correct. I like Martin as a coach, but I know a lot of fans that don't like him. Really, they don't want to admit that our basketball program has been mediocre at best since the early 70s and he's having a heck of a time trying to change that.
