Hello.
What is your favorite sports moment, not like the greatest of all time, but your personal favorite sports moment, in your life?
Lets see for me it would be:
These were all events I attended
1996 MLB Playoffs
Cardinals had a 2-1 lead over the defending champion Braves in a best of 7 series, whoever won this series was going to the World Series
The Cards stunk it up early, falling behind by 3 runs. The offense wasnt doing squat and it looked like the game was over going into the bottom of the 7th, down 3-0. But the Braves, for some stupid reason, decide to take out their pitcher. The Cardinals have an incredible rally to score 3 runs to tie it up. 57,000 people rocked Busch stadium, as it was the craziest sports atmosphere I've ever been in. The announcers said they thought their announcer booth was going to fall down because it was shaking so much. St. Louis lives and breathes for it's baseball, so it was quite the spectacle. In the bottom of the 8th, Brian Jordan hit a homerun to give the Cardinals a 4-3 lead that they would not surrender. All I can remember is jumping up and down like a crazy man and hugging various stanger drunk guys in the seats next to us, still jumping up and down while hugging. It was pure sports bliss. We ended up taking a 3-1 series lead to go to the World Series.
We lost the next 3 games 14-0, 3-1, and 15-0, a complete and utter choke job. But I'll never forget that one night of sports magic, when victory was ripped out of the clenched fist of defeat.
A close second was being at the game where Mark McGwire hit his 62nd home run, to break Roger Maris' home run record. Once again, much jumping for joy occurred, as the place went crazy, but the only hugging was with friends, no strangers. Then, we went out to the concourse where there were literally a couple dozen different news reporters to live reports to stations all over the world. We decided to go stand behind some Japanese reporter giving his report, so that we could get on Japanese tv. A large gathering crowded behind us, and while the Japanese guy was doing his Japanese reporting, I started a chant of Sixty Two, Sixty Two, Sixty Two! Everyone joined in within half a second, and created such a loud stir that the Japanese guy could barely finish his report.
And people wonder why the world thinks Americans are jackasses
Third would be the St. Louis Rams defeating the Minnesota Vikings in a playoff game in 1999 on their way to a Superbowl victory. The thing I remember most about that game was on Minnesota's first drive, it took them forever to drive down the field, many many plays. And then they were only able to kick a field goal. Then they kick the ball to us, and on our first play we throw a 77 yard touchdown pass, the first freakin play. It was pandamonium. Over 70,000 people in that dome can make a lot of noise. We ended up winning 49-37 in just a great great playoff game.

And how well Stephane Yelle could pitch, Drury play in general and how far Ed McCafferty could hit the ball.
