    Best game in recent memory?

    Someone asked me that the other day, and as a yankees fan, I gave the most biased answer ever.

    for me, it was definitely July 1st, 2003 (or 04, not sure)
    Yankees vrs Redsox. Game went 11-13 innings I do believe, climaxed by "THE DIVE", where captain clutch dove 6 rows deep. EVentually won by the Yankees on a walk off double... great game though, how bout you guys?

    Best game for me...see other topic lol.

    Best MLB game (in terms of meaningfulness): Either Yanks/Sox Game 5 2004 ALCS or Yanks/D-Backs Game 7 2001 WS. Depends what recent memory is defined as though.

      Is it 6 rows deep now? Geez, by the time he retires it'll be 20 rows into the stands and he'll have cured cancer while airborne.

                  No. Contrary to popular opinion there's no statistical evidence that Jeter has had any beneficial effects on the treatment of cancer.

                      that would have been my number 2 haha

                      and as for the 6 rows deep, I honestly cant remember how many deep, so I thought 6 wasnt too extreme, however now I think about it... that it ridiculous, I believe it's closer to 3 or 4 rows deep. And by the way, if I did have cancer, that play would have cured it.

                        It's A-Rods fault if you ask me.

                          2006 NLCS Game 7. Yadier's homer was amazing, and Wainwright striking out Beltran was, at the time, the greatest moment for me as a Cardinal fan.

                          The Cardinals winning the World Series, while amazing, wasn't anywhere near as nerve wracking as the NLCS.

                          Pujols' home run off of Lidge in the 2005 Playoffs is a close 3rd. That gave me goosebumps.

                            I'll say recent memory as in anything in the last three or years....

                            Aside from all the ALCS games in 2004, I have to go with the longest game in postseason history. Game 4 of the 2005 NLDS between the Braves and Astros. 18 innings.

                              Other than the usual suspects (2003 ALCS G7, 2004 ALCS G5, etc.), I'd nominate the Dodgers' 11-10 win over the Padres in September 2006. In the middle of a pennant race, LA hits back-to-back-to-back-to-back HR in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game, then Nomar hits a 2-run walkoff bomb in the 10th to win it. Pretty freaking amazing, and I'm not a Dodgers fan.
