Wish I could of been there

I've been thinking about this for the last few days:scratchhe


There have been so many great moments in sports history. So I ask you this? If you could go back in time and get a ticket to one game or event. What would it have been?

1972 Summit Series, Russia vs. Canada when Paul Henderson scored the series winner

Honorable mention also to the '86 Masters when Jack won at age 46

I'd say seeing the winning putt drop last time the US won the Ryder Cup. Or the 86 Masters. 3rd place - seeing the Gators whip up on Ohio State for the BCS title a few years back. I watch a ton of golf, a little bit of college football, and you can keep the rest of the sporting world.

Great topic, by the way!

Great topic, by the way!

I thought so too?

Okay you can call me a homer and I'm a much bigger football than a baseball fan. But I sure would have loved to have been in the crappy old Kingdome when the Mariners beat the Yankees back in 2005 ALDS. I remember driving home from work that day from Seattle to Tacoma. Everyone was tuned into that game. Half the cars on the I5 freeway had Mariners signs in their windows. Listening to the first couple of innings on the way home you could see people high fiving and pumping their fists outside their car windows for each and every Yankee out and everytime the M's got a hit. I got home somewhere around the 3rd inning to catch the rest of the game. It was the most dramatic Mariner Game I'd ever seen. Edgar Martinez gets a clutch hit and Ken Griffy goes flying around the bases with a close play at home plate to win the game in the 11th inning!! Seeing Ken Griffey's million $$ smile and watching the team come flying out of the dugout was priceless.

And after the fans left the dome the city went nuts!! Like they had just won the world series. I'm sure it dosen't even get reconized as being one of the top 100 sporting events. But if you ask me. That was the greatest moment in Seattle sports history to this day.

Here's a link with a re-cap of that game if your interested?

Game 6 of the 1985 World Series. The Royals wouldn't clinch until the next night, but in game 6 they had a two run rally in the bottom of the 9th to win the game.

I would have liked to see Ted Williams play against DiMaggio or an Orr hockey game

Well... I 'see' your "Homer" and raise you this...
I would LOVE to go back and See Manchester United (on the way to their Treble) Come from 0-2 down against Bayern to win in Extra time 3-2... Pretty sure it was at Ol' Trafford too...
TBH... Still a dream to see a match there now...
Yes.... ALL the stools in my place are upside down... but NO you can't push my stool in...
