what do you think is the best baseball moment of all times??? describe it in detail!!!?

Question

my vote goes to bill buckner...

Cam K: the yankees RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Personally, I have to go with something I witnessed because I have the most emotion surrounding it, so for me it's the best...since this is an opinion question, I'll indulge myself...

Starting with the 2004 ALCS when the Sox finally beat the Yanks, and in historic style, building up to the last out of the 2004 World Series, when Renteria grounds back to Foulke and the Red Sox are champs...that's the best baseball moment of all time to me (so far)...

Answer 2

I would say either Bill Mazerowski's walkoff homerun...that was incredible. Or I would say the 2004 Boston Red Sox comeback from a 3-0 defecit to beat the Yankees in New York Because the YANKEES SUCK!

And Bill Buckner is the onlyreason why the Red Sox made it that far in the series...he led the team in numerous offensive categories and he was scapegoated...that inning could have ended but there was a wild pitch to tie the game and Bill was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

No...sad to say that money doesnt buy you a good team...Who's your PAPI?

Answer 3

Your answer doesn't exactly describe Bill Buckner's moment in detail (ha ha) but there are so many to choose from. Being a long suffering Cubs fan, I'm going to choose the regular season game when the Cubs beat the Cardinals in 10 innings.

Ryne Sandberg (Hall of Famer) tied the game with a home run in the bottom of the ninth of Bruce Sutter (Hall of Famer). Then Ryno blasted another homer of Sutter in the 10th to win it. I'm getting chills again just thinking about it. more great sports stuff at http://www.sportstop102day.com

Answer 4

For me, it's one involving a game that didn't really mean anything. Cubs vs. Phillies. Phillies are losing and have two men on. John Kruk is intentionally walked so Heathcliffe Slocumb can pitch to an old guy that doesn't have anything left and is an easy out.

Dale Murphy hit a grand slam to win the game! I cried that day (jumping up and down in the living room screaming and yelling) and still get misty-eyed when I think about it. I don't care what the Braves "got" out of it (as far as opening up an every day spot for Dave Justice, etc.), they should have let Murphy finish his career in Atlanta. He should be in the Hall of Fame right now. I don't care what anybody says, nobody was ever better. He proved it by winning back-to-back MVP's playing for a team with no real talent other than himself. He had 3 other MVP-caliber seasons, as well. He hit 398 home runs before the big home run boom. He won multiple Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers and All-Star berths. That doesn't even take into consideration his consecutive games played streak and many other things that made him one of the greatest players in the history of the game.

Mario Soto said it best when he said he didn't care what the situation, he would never give in to Murphy. "Not him, not ever." And that's why Murphy's career stats are what they are. Nobody dared to give in to him and, if they did, they paid for it. He could have easily hit 600 home runs and had a career .300 average if teams weren't so easily able to pitch around him because they knew nobody else in the lineup could hurt them.

Answer 5

October 4, 1993. Giants lose to the Dodgers 12-1 while the Braves (who are tied for the division) beat the Rockies 3-1 after being down 6 1/2 games on September 22. Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz are masters at baseball!!

Answer 6

In 1939, less than a month after ending a streak of 2,130 games played, the baseball world was shocked to learn Lou Gehrig was stricken with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurological disorder for which there is no cure.

The Yankees held a Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day on July 4. The 40-minute ceremony to honor Gehrig began with a parade led by the Seventh Regiment Band, which escorted such former stars as Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, Tony Lazzeri, Mark Koenig, Waite Hoyt, Herb Pennock and Wally Pipp to the center field flagpole for the raising of a banner saluting the 1927 Yankees, a team that featured Gehrig as its cleanup hitter.

The group, dressed in street clothes, was then led to a position, standing shoulder to shoulder, near the pitcher's mound. The current Yankees and Senators joined the festivities, forming a semicircle around a microphone at home plate. As the crowd began chanting, "We want Lou, we want Lou," Gehrig was led out of the dugout by Yankees president Ed Barrow to a thunderous ovation. Gehrig doffed his cap, wrung it in his hands and bowed his head, fighting back tears for the first of many times.

Answer 7

wow, how could all of you forget about Kirk Gibson. Game 1, 1988 World Series. Kirk Gibson, crippled to the point where he couldn't even walk without pain. It was his only at bat of the whole Series too. There were two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning, when Gibson walked out on the field to warm up(according to legend, Gibson was recieving physical therapy the whole game but went up to the dugout to tell coach tommy lasorda he was ready if needed, and went down to the batting cage to warmup). Gibson came up to face Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley with a man on first. Eckersley through 2 fastballs right by the pained Gibson. Luckily, Gibson worked the count to 3-2 and this is when Eckersley made his mistake. He through a slider that cut across the middle of plate and Gibson hammered it to right field. This homerun created one of the most memorable lines by any broadcaster of all time. The Late Great Jack Buck exclaimed "I don't believe what i just saw!" If this isn't the greatest baseball moment of all time, then i don't know what the world has come to.

Answer 8

Sentimental maybe? I was at the Mets/Expos game at Shea Stadium on 10/2/04. This turned out to be the last Expos win before the move. In the top of the 9th, brad wilkerson hit what was the last homerun in 'Spos history. All of a sudden, a "Lets go Expos" road chant erupts from a wet crowd. Simply amazing.

Answer 9

October 3, 1951, 3:58 PM, Bobby Thomson hits the "Home Run Hit Around the World" to win the pennant for the come-from-behind NY Giantss. No broadcast was ever as dramatic or emotional as Russ Hodges' "THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!" You can hear part of the call here:
