82-83 NBA season. Celtics beat the Lakers in game 7 when the AC mysteriously stopped working at the garden, it was about 100 degrees in there with about 80% humidity & Kareem had a migrain. It was my senior year in HS.
I miss the old NBA!
2004 of course watching my beloved Red Sox do that to the Yankees. If I live to be 1000 nothing will be as sweet as that from a sports point of view.

Flyers 1987...Lost to Gretzkey and the Oilers powerhouse team in game 7....what a friggin run by the Flyers and Hextall....playoffs included the pregame brawl with the Habs....Flyers/Oilers that year was the greatest Cup finals in the history of the sport....or at least since I have been watching hockey for the past 25+ years.
All imo, of course.
Great idea for a thread Jdog

'75 Red Sox--my first season as a baseball fan. My dad and my buddy's dad took turns taking us to games at Fenway. No kidding, attended over 30 games that year.
'86 Red Sox--followed every single game from the first day of spring training while in college in the sports vacuum of Charleston, SC (nearly impossible in the days before Al Gore invented the internet).
'86 Giants--long time coming for a team that ruined nearly every football season Sunday dinner of my childhood.
'88 Notre Dame--had just met my future wife who had gone to high school with--and later that season introduced me to--QB Tony Rice. Two of the greatest college football games of the 80's were played by ND (Miami and USC)

1991 Braves: Sid slides across the plate and then the famous catch and homer by the late Kirby P... and the memorable game 7, morris/smoltz. first of the 14 in a row,
1995 Braves: World Champs
Titans first year in Nashville and the Music City Miracle
1982 Braves 13-0 to start the year and lose in playoffs to cards..
Sosa and McGuire's run... 1998 (i think).

86 Mets. Not just for game 6 in the World Series, but the Mets/Reds game during the regular season. That was by far the most entertaining game I've ever seen.
It had Eric Davis sliding hard into third and Ray Knight losing it and start pounding on him. Also Davey Johnson lost all his position players in the game and had to put Jesse Orosco in right. For the last two innings of the game, the Mets would switch between Roger Mcdowell and Orosco depending who was at bat. A lefty or a righty.
