I'd probably have to say the Miracle On Ice hockey game.

Sept. 11, 1985 at 8:01 PM when Pete Rose hit 4192 off of the Padres' Eric Show.
Edit: My apologies to Tom Browning...

I was thinking that '82 game and the Houston-Louisville semi-final Phi Slamma Jamma game from a coupe days before. That game ushered in the modern hoops game.
I guess I've been lucky. I was at game 4 of the '75 WS, game 2 of the '76 WS, and the Rose-Fosse '70 AS game.
I missed the '90 WS. My middle daughter was born then. Guess I have my priorities screwed up.
She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning
The last game of Clemente was the previously mentioned game five of the 1972 NLCS, which featured Johnny Bench's ninth inning HR to tie the game, followed by the wild pitch that allowed the Reds to win the NL pennant. Clemente never played again.
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
Did I miss something?
For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.
Pete didn't have any money riding on the game that night so he loaned the Padres Browning. Then, in order to disguise himself, Browning put on an Eric Show mask.Did I miss something?
Ah. thanks for clearing that up.Pete didn't have any money riding on the game that night so he loaned the Padres Browning. Then, in order to disguise himself, Browning put on an Eric Show mask.

Yeah, I totally botched that up. lol
Padres started Eric Show. I can't type. Or think for that matter.
Sorry Mr. Browning!
Marshall upsetting Xavier in 1971 in the first home game after the plane crash. I grew up in WV and am Marshall through and through. Not to mention that as an alum of both schools it would be extra special to me.
The 1995 ACC basketball tournament.
For 3 days, a 5' 11" guard (with whom I had a couple of classes and graduated) took "cold-blooded assassin" to a whole new level.
A decade later, Jeff McInnis is still looking for his jock somewhere in the Greensboro Coliseum.
I'd like to:
go back and see what really happened in the "Merkle's Boner" game
see Babe Ruth in his prime
see Satchel Paige in his prime
see a game at Crosley and listen to Waite Hoyt call it on the radio
watch the Reds win in '75 and '76
chill out with Bill Veeck at Sportsman's Park or Comiskey
watch the '55 World Series at Ebbets Field and Yankees Stadium
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
i would have really loved to have sat by him during that 1951 game, when Eddie Gaedel went up to bat.
Ernie Shore's perfecto would have been a ball to watch in 1917, especially after the Sox's no-named pitcher got tossed after walking the first batter.
Another good 1917 no-no game would have been the duel between Red Fred Toney and Cub Hippo Vaughn, where Toney got the win and the no-no in the 10th.
the 1964 game where Ken Johnson lost against the Reds - despite throwing a no-no.
There are too many to choose from. The game between Kentucky and Duke back in '92 comes to mind, the one Laettner won at the buzzer. I would have liked to attend some of the old parks that are gone, Ebbets, Crosley, the Polo Grounds, just to name a few. I was at a couple games at Crosley, but since I was in diapers I can't say I have any memories. I'm not much into boxing, but after watching Cinderella Man, I think the fight between Braddock and Baer would be interesting to see. I've seen video of it and it but being there that night must have been something else. I'd also like to have a seat on the Bengals bench during Super Bowl 23, just so I could put some stickem on Lewis Billups' hands before that last drive by the 49ers.
I would morph into Lewis Billups and make that <masked profanity> interception.
