the Philadelphia Phantoms winning the Calder Cup (AHL) in geez, I think it was second overtime. I saw two games in that final series and I have a recount of it written down somewhere, if I can find it. June 6, 1998 I believe, I have never seen anything as amazing as that before or since.

I was at the Cal Ripken 2131 game. That was an amazing atmosphere.

Watching Maryland beat UNC in Hoops when UNC was #1 and MD was #8

I have been to some awesome track meets where I have seen numerious world record holders run.

MUUUUUUUURPHEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYY.......

Honestly, A St Paul Saints game I recently attended with Lemon Meringue, Walkron and Lilly.

The Massages. The rare double Train #11 & All the other toit rear ends in baseball pants , The Heckling, the unknown vendor, that poor, poor 3rd baseman Murphey from Duluth that was the object of our unrelentless heckling, The Booby vents, The Dutch accents, the Irish profanity, the fireworks between games, the other teams pitcher who had no balls, the two games we won that had BOTH gone into extra innings........

Buying a ticket for the Saints game: $8

Spending it with insane people you love: PRICELESS.

 

[She Is Raging]

1998 postseason Red Sox/Yankees at Fenway Park - Pedro Martinez vs. Roger Clemens. Yankees got lit up 13-2, just an unreal game.
