I agree that it was a great game (the Rays really are a resilient bunch), and playoff baseball is really good. But can't be beat?

Sorry, but playoff hockey, particularly sudden death overtime, is still better. Best example: the Rangers/Devils 2 OT/Game 7 thriller in 1994 to decide the Eastern Conference championship, ended by the epic Howie Rose call: "Matteau, Matteau... Steph-ANE MAT-TEAU!!!" The best high stakes professional sporting event I have seen.

And #1? No game, playoff or otherwise (not even the January 20th, 1990 game versus Georgetown at the HC that still is the loudest crowd I have ever personally witnessed) has ever or will ever beat our first National Championship game victory. Not just because it was us (and us beating Duke in particular), but it was actually one of the 5 or so best national championship games ever played. Beginning to end, that game was executed at an amazingly high level... particularly by us. Both by our players and JC and his coaching staff.

For my money, that game can never and will never be beat... and I was lucky enough to be there.
