What was your most exciting sports moment seen LIVE?

I have seen tons of great sporting events live as shared in an earlier blog post. When reviewing my old blog posts and reading the one about "overall" events it got me thinking about what "moment" was the best. I racked my brain over and over and went through all the shots, goals, bodyslams (Steve Austin jumping from a zamboni onto Vince at RAW sounds cheesy but it was insane at the Joe) and touchdowns witnessed from the stands. The one moment that sticks out above all the rest is when Magglio hit the home run to send the Tigers to the World Series. It was a cold night and the Labatt Blue was flowing! When he hit that ball all your heard was the screams and shouts from 40,000+ people. Bodies flying everywhere; hugging and high fiving like the whole stadium was long lost best friends. It was almost surreal how electric that place was when you realized the team that had the worst record in history the year before was now going to the World Series. I forgot how long the cheering and screaming lasted. It seemed like forever as it carried out into the streets. No one was acting crazy like in 1984 as everyone was just enjoying the moment. Could not have been more of a perfect sports moment.

Looking forward to hearing some amazing moments from everyone else.

tyrone prothros catch at bryant denny stadium in 05. It was where he caught the ball behind the southern miss players head and flipped into the endzone. It was electric.

I was at the bar watching the OSU-MIA FLA game. That was an amazing ending for sure. Too bad they had to play the SEC the last few years....

Even though college football is my favorite, a winning HR in MLB is the most exciting of all sports in my opinion. I mean, how could you top the hobbling Kirk Gibson nailing one out for the Dodgers?

I have witnessed in person:

Game 6 of the 1991 World Series.  Kirby's heroics.

Nolan Ryan's 300 victory.

The Packers win the 1996 NFC Championship game.

Wisconsin's 1994 Rose Bowl upset over UCLA.

Tiger Woods announcement going pro (snuck into the media tent...3rd row behind ESPN.)

Game 6 of the 1993 NBA Finals when John Paxton nailed a 3 pointer, burying the Suns, and resulting in the Bulls first 3 Peat. Shortly afterwards Michael Jordan, retired from basketball, and attempted  playing baseball before returning to the NBA..

The 1972 Olympic basketball finals when we lost to the Russians. About half the people in the arena were Americans and there was close to a riot when the game was over. I was in the Army then and stationed just west of Munich in  Augsberg. I was at the Olympics almost every day. If you like sports NOTHING compares to being at the Olympics live.
