Here is the memorable games that I have attended (excluding Mets
moments. These are events that I was present at (watching on TV
doesn't count).
| 2003 Eastern League
Playoffs |
In what appeared to be an unfair advantage
of the New Britain Rock Cats to use Eric Milton in the
decisive game of the Eastern League Playoffs. However,
Milton gives up a 505 foot bomb to Anthony Sanders over the
Green Monster at Yale Field and loses the game 2-1. |

Astros vs.
Phillies. Trailing 7-2 at Citizen's Bank Park and the
Phillies with the bases loaded, the Astros turn a triple
play (hit into by Todd Pratt) and turn around the game. The
score ten unanswered runs and end up winning the game 12-10.
In 40 years of watching professional baseball, its the first
triple play that I've seen.

The return of
Rick "The Babe" Ankeil. There can't be many people who can
say that they were at the Mets/Cardinals 2000 play-off games
where Rick "Wild Thing" Ankiel brought back memories of
Steve Blass and then some as well as his the game he started
his outfield career with a homerun. We were luckily enough
to be in that small club to witness this great feel good
story first hand. Good luck Rick!

The inagural Hall of Fame Classic. An Old Timer's Game with
Hall of Famers participating at Doubleday Field is much more
enjoyable for true baseball fans than the previous format of
two major league teams playing minor league players. Loved
it. |

The second Annual Hall of Fame Classic in Cooperstown. With
two outs and Jeff Kent batting, Jeff ripped a ball towards
right field. 2nd baseman Tim McIntosh fires his glove about
20 feet in the air, hits the ball and catches it before it
hits the ground recording the third out (Hall of Fame rules)
as Jeff falls to the ground in shock. |
