infrared41 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Watching the winning base hit, then watching Craig Counsell score the winning run in game 7 of the 1997 World Series. I was crushed. I'm not going to lie: I cried. Apparently you haven't been a Cleveland sports fan long enough to understand what it means. I didn't cry or even get upset when Counsell scored the winning run in '97. You know why? Because I expected it. The Drive? Saw it coming from a mile away. Same with The Fumble. The Browns playoff game against The Steelers in 2002? Knew we were going to blow that big lead. Never a doubt. Last year's pennant race collapse by the Indians? I called it two weeks before it happened. My only surprise was that The Devil Rays didn't sweep the Indians in that second to last series of the season.That's life as a Cleveland Sports fan. Regarding the topic...My favorite sports moment? There are so many to choose from. There's no way I can narrow it down to one. Here are a few.2003 ALCS Game 7: Boone's HR rips the heart out of Red Sox Nation.1988 World Series: Gibby homers off Eck.1988 Super Bowl: Montana to Taylor.1981 NFC Title Game: Montana to Clark1992 NCAA Tournament: Duke vs. Kentucky Laetner's shot.and so on...

Cujo Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 My teams really havn't much success when it comes to great moments, but I would have to go with either the Cubs winning Game 5 of the '03 NLDS vs Atlanta or Ray Bourque finally hoisting the Stanley Cup in '01. To this day, I still get goosebumps just thinking about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Clemente Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Well, since others have listed their toughest sports moments, ill post mine as well.........2002 World Series game 6. 8 outs away and it all fell apart. Still cant believe it. My mom, who is a die hard Giants fan, cried for three days. topic: Favorite Single Sports Momentforget to stop at 1?Its too hard to narrow it down to one. I just cant do it. Its like trying to pick one favorite band. Theres just SO many options. And how does something that actually makes your mom cry fall into the category of "favorite moments", you sick bastard! I take it you missed the part where he called it one of his toughest sports moments.You sick bastard!--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

OnWis97 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Tonight was in the top 10 for me--Wisconsin celebrating its first national championship since 1990 (when I was in HS and a gopher fan).1. Wisconsin clinching the Rose Bowl in 1999. They won the B10 outright and Dayne broke the rushing record that day. The atmosphere was unreal. This would not be #1 had I not been there in person, but it was my best in-person moment.2. Twins celebrate 1991 championship3. Twins celebrate 1987 championship4. Wisconsin clinches 1994 Rose Bowl. I was a freshman. They clinched in a game vs. Michigan State in Japan of all places. So the game was like 10:00 at night. Madison was just crazy that night.5. Kirby's game 6 HR. "And we'll see you tomorrow night."6. Wisconsin hoops celebrates 2000 Final Four trip7. Tonight! 2006 NCAA Hockey National Champions8. 1987. Puckett goes 6 for 6 in Milwaukee (ON the list because I saw that in person)9. 1991. North Stars Finish off Oilers in game 5 to go to Cup finals (bittersweet because I had game 6 tickets)10. Tie. The announcement of the expansion T-Wolves and Wild.
