Way more than just a a moment...........

Borg vs. McEnroe 1980 Wimbledon Finals

18-16 fourth set tie breaker that took 22 minutes to finish.

McEnroe saved seven match points in the fourth set, five of them in that excruciating 34-point tie breaker.

1- Secretariat winning the Belmont Stakes.

That's the first thing that popped into my mind. The horse who started his career fat, slow, and clumsy.

I was thinking of the 49ers The Catch but Mays’ was a good moment.

For a 12 year old girl back in 1968, Bob Beamon breaking the long jump record by over two feet was a biggie. Also, that year, the Tigers won the world series and during the season Denny McLain won 31 games. My sister happened to be at the game where he broke the record and won his thirtieth.

Dan Marino ruining the 1985 Chicago Bears perfect season. It was the best defense in NFL history vs. the best QB in history who was having his greatest game.

The best QB who never won a Super Bowl.

Frank Reich leading the Bills over the Boilers in 1993. At one point, the Bills were down 35-3. They Beat Houston 41-38 in OT.

Nobody has mentioned Bill Buckner's fielding skills...

'69 Mets

Super Bowl III Jets

Haven't seen any that have been posted that I'd disagree with.

Secretariat easily number 1...beating the world record for that distance by 2 full seconds. A record that still stands.

I prefer the original “We will see you tomorrow night” with Jack Buck (not Joe) and Kirby Puckett. Game 7 was better that year, too.

Well, I think that if sports is defined as a physical contest where spectators gather to cheer for their favourite and observe what happens, nothing beats the story of David and Goliath. Think about the scene and what was on the line…. Israel was defending itself against the Philistines and rather than each person going into battle, the Philistines proposed what they thought was a winner of scheme. The two archenemies were stationed on two mountains and there was a valley in between them… twice a day for 40 days, the Philistines sent a 9 foot high armed to the teeth giant named Goliath out into the valley and he issued this challenge to the Israelites after he was done mocking them…. “Choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me. If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.” No one accepted the challenge until a shepherd boy named David showed up and accepted it after being astonished at the fear in the Israelites that they would allow anyone to ‘define the armies of God’. So David went into the valley dressed as the shepherd with nothing but a sling a bag with 5 stones in it… while Goliath came from the other side in full armour with a spear… and a second person who carried his shield. As Goliath got close, the confident David said “Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands.” And the rest as they say, is history. As Goliath came in for the kill, David reached into his bag and slung the first stone he found. Goliath’s armour had a hole in it and the stone found it…right in front of his forehead. The stone sank into Goliath’s brainbox and he crashed to the ground. The contest was done.

“The Heidi Game (football)”

God,I remember that like it was yesterday. I had 5 small kids who were waiting for “Heidi” all day and I was thrilled that they kept to the schedule.

My husband not so thrilled. :-)

“The RedSox winning the world series, finally.”

I liked it much better when I could shut up any Res Sox fan by saying “1918.” As a Twins fan growing up in CT, I had to do that often. Now the Sox fans are just as bad as Yankees fans, maybe worse with all of that “Red Sox Nation” nonsense that everyone has now copied. It’s almost as annoying as THE Ohio State University.

There is a Red Sox moment worth mentioning - the Fisk “waiving it fair” HR in game 6 of the ‘75 series.
