#1 on my list, and it's not even close, is Super Bowl 23, the second one against the 49ers.

The Laettner shot that beat UK in the 1992 East Final doesn't bother me, because that team probably gained more fame from getting beat by that shot than they would have if they'd won and made the Final Four.

#2 on my list is the other Bengals Super Bowl, XVI in 1982.

The first World Series I really remember was 1975, so I didn't experience the heartbreak of 1970, 1972, and 1973.
