Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 5006385, member: 1646"] I was at a few classics, and a few of my own classics (not known to others). Some, in no particular order. [LIST] [*]Gooden no hitter. In the bleachers. Didn't even know it was a no hitter until the 6th because there were some walks and errors and you couldn't see the scoreboard easily. [*]Shaq breaking the basket (not just the backboard) at the Nets. Pretty epic. [*]Opening night at Gampel. [*]Game 4, 2001 World Series. Crazy times in the NY area. My apartment overlooked the twin towers. I got tix for the game from a friend, partially because nobody wanted to be in such a crowded place. We stayed until the end and watched Tino tie it up in the bottom of the 9th and Jeter win it in the 10th. [*]1999 NLDS Game 4. I'm not a Mets fan, but a friend got us tix from a boss. We were right behind the plate and may have been the only non-family members in the section. Leiter had a no hitter for a while and one friend kept mentioning it. We told him to shut up. He kept saying he has no power to jinx a no hitter. Next pitch, hit. The woman next to us says, "you really aren't supposed to talk about it" and the big guy next to her just glared at us. That was Mrs. Al Leiter and her brother-in-law Mark. [*]UConn beating Butler for the 2011 Championship. [*]Jets vs. Dolphins in 2000. Jets come back from a 30-7 4th quarter deficit. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
