Nice. That was even amazing listening in with Ueck
The weeks leading up to Ripken breaking the record were pretty cool with them counting down the numbers in the middle of the 5th inning every game. My uncle bought about a week's worth of games around the record breaker at the start of the season so I was there quite a bit.

1990 World Series Game 1- ED blasts a HR that sets the tone for the series.....Reds Sweep the heavily favored A's
Booooooo. Was an A's fan then. Remember Glenn Braggs breaking a bat over his back on a swinging strike follow through. Beast

Here's a converse story.
One fine spring day in 2004, I was offered tickets to the Diamondbacks @ Braves game, but opted not to go because it was hot and humid out and I was tired. That ended up being Randy Johnson's perfect game.

I was in KC last year when Adam Dunn hit his 400th HR. I was sitting right next to the left field foul pole so I had a good view of it leaving the yard and subsequently watching a fan dive into the fountain after it.

I was part of what was, at the time, the world's largest Macarena at Yankee Stadium in 1996!
At the Stadium in May 1999, I saw the first-ever MLB matchup of two Japanese-born pitchers, Hideki Irabu and Mac Suzuki.
I, uh, saw Felix Pie's first major league hit. Eduardo Nunez's first ML home run. I always like to read recaps of games I've been to in case I've missed any factoids like these, and I wonder what tidbits I've forgotten over the years.

Not as awesome as some of those mentioned here, but I saw Scott Sheldon play all 9 positions in a game for the Rangers, and I saw Jose Valentin hit for the natural cycle...both happened at US Cellular Field in 2000.

Nothing historical but some interesting things I saw in person:
-Adam Dunn charge the mound and get tackled from behind by catcher Mike Lieberthal after Phillies pitcher Carlos Silva threw a pitch behind his back.
-Dmitri Young fracture his right fibula trying to avoid a first-inning double play against the Blue Jays in Toronto.
-Griffey Jr. dislocate his shoulder making a diving catch and then fans (I think they were visiting Cubs fans) taunt him while he rolled around the warning track in pain.

Did anyone keep the ticket stubs? Sell/trade them?
I wish I still had all of mine. I lost a bunch due to a house fire and Hurricane Ivan. Eventually I plan on re-acquiring some of the ticket stubs.

I'm happy to say I've kept most of my ticket stubs over the years. Glad I was a bit of a pack rat even as a kid - I know I still have a couple of AC Yankees stubs, one picturing up-and-coming first baseman JT Snow! Those older stubs are great because I can look up those games and see what happened and who played, and other details that I wouldn't have noticed or appreciated as a young fan.

Beach Boys gave a free concert after Reds game. Was pretty sweet. They all came out in Chevy convertibles (not sure year, maybe 65?)

I was even on the TV broadcast. I still have it on VHS even though I no longer have a VHS player. Dang technology
