Favorite Sports Moments in Person
My buddy and I saw the documentary film last week about the Harvard-Yale 29-29 game in 1968. We went because we were both 13-year old ticket-takers that year at the Stadium and saw the game in person.
Afterwards, my buddy asked if that was the greatest sporting event I ever attended. As I had also been at the Pats-Raiders 'Snow Bowl' at Foxboro in 2001 it was a tough choice.
We then started to talk about what sporting events we wished we could have been at. My list, in no particular order:
USA vs. Soviets at Lake Placid in 1980
Red sox over Cards in game 4 of 2004
Pats first Super Bowl over Rams in New Orleans ( I'm jealous because I know a bunch of people who were there.)
Game 6 of the 1975 World Seies
Larry Bird/Dominique Wilkins mano-a-mano in the playoffs.
So, two querstions for everyone:
1) What great events have you witnessed in person?
2) And if they could put you in a time machine, what would you choose to attend?
