1962, Yankee stadium, Giants vs Browns.
End zone seats which allowed you to run out on the field after the games, which we did.
I looked up and saw this guy, looked like he was a freakin giant, although 6'2" at #230 which was big for a running back then, with thighs
as large as telephone poles, with a bleeding gash at the top of his nose.
It was Jim Brown and i said to myself, how the H could you ever wrap and tackle
this guy head on running at you, let alone even walking at you.

Big smile from him, one of the very best greats.

AFC Play-off Patriots vs Jacksonville. My Daughter's High School Class hawked the Coco and HotDogs for half of Foxboro Stadium. It was frozen-arsed cold. A fan who over celebrated the GreenBay game before hand took a swing at me and I handed him over to Security who arrested him. Spent the rest of the game making coco in the cellar and watching the game on TV there..Great night!!

Brown was probably bigger than any of the Giants' defensive linemen, except for Rosie Grier.

Celts championship game a few years back against the Lakers is one for sure. I also remember a playoff game where they came back from a ton down in the forth. I had a great time at the Patriots foggy start against the steelers in the playoffs the year they made the superbowl with Bledsoe.

Oh yeah not a single game but all those redsox games as a kid that my dad took me too - looking back those might actually be # 1 collectively for all the reasons and everything special about feeling like your on cloud nine when your dad takes you to a game @ Fenway. I think about that a lot now that I have a new son and since my dad passed afew years ago...

1978 world series game at The Stadium between the yanks and dodgers. yankees won it in extra innings or late in game, don't remember. my biggest recollection of the day was the upper deck in left field shaking when the crowd roared, and the guy in front of us throwing his beer in the air, and all over us when the yankees won. i still have a button i got that day "75th world series"....
