4)

I'm not sure myself but I'm assuming the following are all possibilities
Maz's Home Run in 1960
Hank Aaron passing the Babe
McGwire passing Maris
Maris passing Ruth
Aaron Boone's home run
Bucky Dent's home run
Don Larsen's perfect game
Lou Gehrig's speech
Kirk Gibson's home run
Dave Henderson's home run off Donnie Moore
Bill Buckner's error
Hubbell striking out 5 in a row in the all-star game
Pedro doing the same
Rickey Henderson breaking Lou Brock's record
Cal Ripken breaking Lou Gehrig's record
Barry Bonds passing Hank Aaron

etc etc

bahahaha...no apology needed.

Cal circling the stadium.

"I can't believe what I just saw"

"And the Giants win the pennant"

Those are the first five I think of.

Buckner's mishap

Bartman. LOL

newhannibal · Mar 4, 2009

Jeez I can't believe how many I initially forgot...gotta love Kirby's HR, Reggie's 3 HR & Thompson's HR. Although it pains me to say this I can see how some might include game 7 2001 World Series and Game 5 1995 ALDS.

Yuck...roiders passing greats and have roid rages.

Also just remembered Piazza's Home Run after 9/11...as someone who lives about three blocks away from Ground Zero, it was really uplifting (I would say Bush's first pitch but Piazza's home run packs more of a punch for me).

Joe Carter walk off to win the series.

Newhannibal,

looks like I'm still the only one who actually offered a top 10 list. I'm very surprised by some of the opinions of the others.

I think a top 10 list needs to include moments that build the heritage of a team, change the game for the better, and moments that moved or greatly effected all baseball fans and weren't just a great moment for a team or a statistical/Great play for a player.

One thing is for sure, baseball is an incredible game.
