DDR Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I was at the game where Frank Thomas hit his 400th career home run. Not that big of a deal anymore, but it was kinda cool. He was my favorite player when I was growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rich Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 - Had to attend a seminar in Austin, TX; the Spurs were playing in San Antonio the first night so I drove down to catch the game. Saw David Robinson score his 20,000th point. This was also the night that a bat was flying around the court of the Alamodome and someone caught it with a towel.- Saw the Saints' first playoff win against the Rams.- At the time it was a big deal; saw LSU upset No. 1 Florida in 1997. Only time I've been down on the field to celebrate after a game. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJMorris3 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 If it can include secondary school - I've witnessed a couple guys get their 1000th career points in basketball, one guy (Isaiah Morton - now at Marist) break my alma mater's scoring record and then get his 2000th point later in the season.

FiddySicks Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I've been to so many sports games it's hard to remember all of what I saw. Here are the ones that quickly come to mind.I was at the game in San Diego where Barry Bonds tied Hank Aaron's career home run record. Worked my way into some free tickets, and got to the railing on the Western Metal Supply building just as he came to bat. Saw Miguel Tejada (HA!) hit the most home runs in a single round at the 2004 Home Run Derby.David Beckham's first ever MLS game.Saw the second biggest comeback in NFL playoff history when the Niners beat the Giants in 02/03.Saw Jamarcus Russell's first ever NFL pass. SHOCK! It was an incompletion Was at Tiki Barber's final game, it was a Pro Bowl. Saw one of the longest winning streaks in the nation snapped when Nevada beat Boise State last year.Saw Tim Brown break some kind of record. Can't remember what it was, but they stopped the game mid series and gave him a silver football. It was weird.
