Best game you ever saw in person

I've been very spoiled - I had season tickets during the dynasty years. I wouldn't want to rank my favorite moments, but I would definitely list these three among the best of the best:

* Game 2 of the ALDS in '95. Leyritz's extra inning homer and several stellar innings of relief from some rookie named Rivera.

* The '96 World Series clincher. Wade Boggs rode around the Stadium on his horse and we all screamed and sang New York, New York in unison.

* Watching the Yanks beat the Mets in the Subway Series.

The Best game i have ever seen in person is by far the May 17, 2002 game against the Twins, you know the game where  Jason Giambi hit a grand slam in the pouring rain to end it in the 14th inning. If you stayed for the whole game which also had about a 2 hour rain delay you will remember it for the rest of your life. First Bernie ties the game in the 9th with a solo homer and then as we went into extra innnings the Twins scored 3 runs in the top of the 14th and most of the people that did stay started to make there way to the exit but not me, I waiting this long I was staying until that last out and good thing I did. As the rain started coming down harder and harder the yanks manged to load the bases and then Giambi on the first pitch belted one into the upper deck and won the game. The few thousand fans that stuck around went crazy and that is a night that I will never forget at Yankee Stadium.

Boone...from yelling "Deport Pedro!" during warmups from the last row of the left field bleachers to freezing through misery until the 8th until the "stupid" home run.

My First game ever.. Old timers day 1965... Joe D HR in the OT Game.

Joe Pepitone hit 2 Home runs... Ray barker wins it in the 9th..

Last year's first Saturday game, against Baltimore, I had travelled with my family from Charlotte, NC to see the Yankees play.  Igawa was on the mound and of course the Yankees were getting stomped.  I was in a foul mood because of the 7-2 score, then Giambi hits one out in the seventh or eigth, don't remember exactly which inning, and the Yanks are within two.  In the bottom of the ninth with two outs and the bases loaded, ARod hits a grand slam and my mood got considerably better.  That day was what is commonly described as a roller coaster ride.

 I WENT TO YANKEE STADIUM IN APRIL OF 2006. THE YANKS PLAYED THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS. PITCHING FOR NEW YORK WAS JARET WRIGHT AND I FORGET WHO WAS PITCHING FOR TORONTO. THE ONLY THRILL I GOT THAT DAY WAS WATCHING BERNIE WILLIAMS BELT A 2 RUN HOMER INTO THE CENTER FIELD BLEACHERS, BUT THE YANKS LOST 7-2. BUT THAT DAY WAS SPECIAL TO ME BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY LOST, IT WAS MY FIRST TRIP TO YANKEE STADIUM, BUT JUST THINKING ABOUT IT, IT WAS MY LAST TO THE CURRENT YANKEE STADIUM. I PROBABLY WON'T GET TO GO THIS YEAR 'CAUSE OF TICKET PRICES. BUT I WILL CHERISH THAT DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

BEST GAME I SAW WAS MY FIRST GAME I SAW AT YANKEE STADIUM.  YANKEES-ANGELS ON BAT DAY AUGUST OF 1976 I THINK. MY BROTHER, FRIENDS FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND MYSELF, CHIPPED IN SO WE CAN ALL GO AND HAVE BATS FOR OUR OWN BASEBALL GAMES.  YANKEES WERE DOWN 8-0 IN THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH AND SCORE 8 RUNS TO TIE. YANKS EVENTUALLY LOSE 11-8 IN ELEVEN INNINGS BUT IT WAS A GREAT THRILL.  

wow!  i remember that game.  i was so upset because my cousin

told me that he couldn't get tickets.  and i had to watch them on tv

that sunday afternoon.  i eventually made it to bat dat 1977 against

the twins, but i'll never forget how they came back from an 8-0 hole.

thanks, julio.

Game 3 of the ALDS last season when the yankees threatened twice without putting up any runs and then the 3rd threat ended with Johnny Damon blasting a 3 run go ahead  homerun into the right feild seats. Listening to 57,000 die ahrd yankees fans celebrate that home run was an experiene like no other.
