Question Famous sporting events you've attended

Not talking WS, SB, NBA Finals, or Cup Finals but games that they still talk about as historic sporting events.

Mine are...

"The comeback" Bills vs Oilers

"Bloody sock game"

I was at the "Earthquake Game" at Candlestick in 1989 World Series. That place was really moving back and forth!!

Nothing too historic but I did see Ozzie Guillen & Craig Grabeck hit back to back homers off Nolan Ryan.

I've seen plenty of the best moments in Illinois H.S. bball over the past 12 years, including rose's first varsity game, scheyer scorin 52 at Proviso west, 27 of which came in last couple minutes, darius miles have 13 dunks and a triple double over former stanford half-court bomber Matt Lottich....

I've seen 2 players hit for the cycle, as well, both games of which I was fortunate enough to be keeping a score card for.

Saw MJ's last regular season game in Old Chicago stadium, but i was a weee one

Phillies last world series game 6 1980 was a kid Tug McGraw struck out Willie WIlson.

92 Kentucky vs Duke at the Spectrum the famous Laetener shot. 104-103 had to be the best college game ever played
