Most thrilling and exciting sport spectator moment for you.

  1. Grey Cup 2013. Riders win it in Regina, the last time the Grey Cup will be played at historic Taylor Field, which is a sea of green. Walking home afterwards on Albert Street, through one of the happiest, most jovial group of fans ever.
  2. Live? 2014 NLCS, 16 October, game 5, St. Louis Cardinals @ SF Giants. Travis Ishikawa’s walk off home run. The Giants win the pennant!!! I was there with a friend.
  3. Joe Carter’s walk-off home run to win the 1993 world series for the Jays. “Touch 'em all Joe…”
  4. “The Comeback Game” January 3, 1993. Bills win after being down by 32 points. I was there in the stadium.
  5. The “Brian Johnson Game,” 18 Sep 1997, San Francisco Giants, Candlestick Park. Rod Beck shuts down a Dodgers rally and then Brian Johnson hits his bottom-of-the-12th walk off home run to sweep and tie the Dodgers on their way to winning the NL West division, and I and my later-to-be-wife (version 2.0) were there. Good stuff, Maynard.
  6. USA vs. USSR, Men’s Ice Hockey, 1980 Winter Olympic Games
  7. 1989 NLCS, Game 5, Cubs @ Giants, Candlestick Park. Will “The Thrill” Clark triples in the bottom of the 7th, then scores to tie the game 1-1. Then Clark (NLCS MVP) hits the GWRBI off of Mitch “Wild Thing” Williams in the 8th. The Giants win the pennant!!!. I was there with my brother.
  8. Watching Ron Guidry strike out 18 Angels at Yankee Stadium in 1978
  9. 1976 Grey Cup - Tony Gabriel’s The Catch
  10. 2010 World Series. Finally, after waiting my entire life! Go Giants!

  11. 1986 world Series Game 6 at Shea Stadium. I was in the right field nose bleed section; we were the first ones to see the parachuter. Then there was Buckner’s error. And of course the Mets won that game, and then the series. Almost 30 years later and I still remember it vividly
