July 16, 200421 yr i was watching some old tapes and came across a play from 1989 that i have never seen anyone come close to doing again since. who remembers Kevin Mitchell of the Giants catching an Ozzie Smith line drive/pop fly with his bare hand? this was and is the most amazing play ive seen, he caught the ball on the run over his head. unreal.
July 17, 200421 yr in person: I saw Mike Redmond's inside-the-park HR 461120[/snapback] I was there for that one too.
July 17, 200421 yr I had tickets to Thome's 400 HR but I had to cancel two days before the game. Seven Homers by The Phils on one night was cool and Doug Glanville's walk off homerun this year on the first sunday game of CPB was cool.
July 17, 200421 yr I saw Eddie Murray's 3000th hit at the Metrodome. It wasn't amazing, but it was historic.
July 17, 200421 yr I guess the best/memorable thing I have seen in person was Mark Kotsay's 3 assist day against the Orioles. Not that good but it was fun to see.
July 17, 200421 yr I saw Edgar Renteria hit a game winning single in the bottom of the 11th of a World Series Game 7. It was cool. Other than that? I almost saw the cycle. Dmitri Young had 2 HRs, a triple, and a single. He smokes the ball off the wall to left, and you're thinking double. But the fielder misplays the ball a little, and Dmitri legs out his 2nd triple. Should've been an error. But Dmitri earned my ever-lasting respect that day.
July 17, 200421 yr I saw a triple play the other day... The rest of the game was painful to watch though. Angels Crushed the White Sox. The funny part was just one batter before the triple play happened, I was joking with my friend that we had them just where we wanted them; bases loaded, nobody out, ready for the triple play
July 17, 200421 yr I think he actually meant the most amazing play you have seen ... but whatever ummm as far as I can remember one of the most jaw dropping things ive seen was that Dave Parker throw to home-plate to nail someone ... it was the most amazing bullet throw ever. ... besides that its Ozzie Smith doing backflips :anon
July 17, 200421 yr I was at game 4 of the NLDS, when Conine threw out Drew at the plate. That was the only series-clinching game played at home this season, and the place exploded.
July 17, 200421 yr Not very amazing, but I saw Easley's homer versus the Mets that led to an eventual Marlins come from behind victory
July 17, 200421 yr Other than that? I almost saw the cycle. Dmitri Young had 2 HRs, a triple, and a single. He smokes the ball off the wall to left, and you're thinking double. But the fielder misplays the ball a little, and Dmitri legs out his 2nd triple. Should've been an error. But Dmitri earned my ever-lasting respect that day. 461893[/snapback] Dmitri was a beast that day.
July 18, 200421 yr what the hell am I talking about ... last year gave me the biggest thrills Conine throwing out Snow at the plate in the NLDS (I was there) AGon game winning shot in the WS (I was there)
July 19, 200421 yr I was at game 4 of the NLDS, when Conine threw out Drew at the plate.? That was the only series-clinching game played at home this season, and the place exploded. 461954[/snapback] I dont think Drew has every played with the Giants but i was there when Conine guned out Snow at the plate! And the night before when Pudge singled to score 2 runs including the walk off run when Pierre scored and when Cruz droped the flyball to let the rally begin. And i went to 2 WS game (including Rockets "last game") And went to all home games vs the Cubbies.
July 19, 200421 yr Last years NLDS was far and away the most tense, dramatic and wonderful thing I have ever been to, and I went to the NLCS and the Series in Yankee Stadium and in Fla. Sooooooooooooooooooo much drama and so many great "moments." Like Conine, Pudge, Dontrelle's triple, Pavano's absolute clutchness...how far we've fallen :confused .
July 19, 200421 yr conine/pudge's play at the plate in game 4 against the giants. i pretty much tackled my dad when that happened. most amazing experience ive ever had at a ball park. i would mention cruz dropping that fly the night before but i was in the parking lot running to my car to get to a radio to findout what happened. the first and LAST time i ever take my sister to a game. also, i got to mention that incredible Indians comeback on the mariners in august of 2001. that was so f***ing incredible. i cant believe i had the luck of putting that game back on and leaving it right as the comeback was starting.
July 19, 200421 yr along with Redmond's inside-the-parker....I saw Devon White hit a grand slam off the Orioles (1st season of interleague play) in 97. I also was in attendance at Fenway for the Red Sox game THE DAY TED WILLIAMS DIED. It was pretty historic (sad, I guess too).
July 19, 200421 yr I saw Edgar Renteria hit a game winning single in the bottom of the 11th of a World Series Game 7. It was cool. Other than that? I almost saw the cycle. Dmitri Young had 2 HRs, a triple, and a single. He smokes the ball off the wall to left, and you're thinking double. But the fielder misplays the ball a little, and Dmitri legs out his 2nd triple. Should've been an error. But Dmitri earned my ever-lasting respect that day. 461893[/snapback] Edgar Renteria's game winning hit was the most amazing and exciting!
July 19, 200421 yr conines grand slam this season vs. mets(it was the 1st time i ever witnessed a grand slam)and watching the tape that my dad recorded of dennis martinez's perfect game.. hes the only latin american pitcher to throw a perfect game..THAT was incredible
July 19, 200421 yr I was there several years back for Greg Norton's first start, and I believe his MLB debut. He made 4 errors, and even more amazingly, the White Sox still won the game.
