Message: [QUOTE="manbyrd, post: 5006403, member: 8114"] For UConn the '14 and '24 elite 8 games which in my mind are labeled the Niels Giffey dunk game and the 30-0 run game. For the random in-season right place right time games, they're all baseball: 6/6/1993: Mariners - Orioles brawl with 7 suspensions and a broken collarbone, nearly saw Ripken's Iron man streak break with a sprained knee. It was the 2nd baseball game I went to. 7/2/1997: Bill Clinton attended the second ever interleague game for Phillies & Orioles and had a press conference before hand. 8/20/1998: Mark McGwire became the first player to hit 50 home runs in 3 consecutive seasons against the Mets at Shea. I was 15 then and it doesn't resonate now but at the time the Sosa-McGwire home run chase was intense. 5/12/2009: First streaker at Citifield 6/9/2015: Chris Heston no-hitter at Citifield. I doubt anyone remembers any of these but they're big mileposts in my history of baseball fandom. [/QUOTE]
