Definitely mine and will probably be the most memorable of my lifetime as a Cardinals fan I'm not sure that one will be topped.

Re: Most Memorable Game This Century

My picks:

AL Central tiebreaker game 163s in 2008 and 09- as a Twins fan, 09 is a no-brainer but 08 was an extremely entertaining game as well.

2011 WS G6 was easily one of the most dramatic and entertaining games in MLB history, and I don't like the Cards or the Rangers. If the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, or Dodgers were involved, we would've never heard the end of it.

It's hard to pick a single game but Game 162 was one of the most fun days I've ever had watching baseball.

Out of any single game Halladay's post-season no hitter was astounding, even more than the perfect game.

Re: Most Memorable Game This Century

As much as it hurts, I'll never forget the Bartman game.. 2003 NLCS Game 6.

Although a heart breaker for me, that was one of the most amazing games I've ever seen. The Rangers had one hand on the trophy so many times in that game but the Cardinals just wouldn't be denied. I've never been so high and so low during a game.

Another would be the 2001 World Series Game 7 when Luis Gonzalez hit the looper up the middle to beat the untouchable Mariano Rivera. I jumped and hit my head on the ceiling fan in my apartment!

2007 NL tiebreaker. Rockies vs. Padres

Re: Most Memorable Game This Century

Not that memorable anymore (haven't thought about it pretty much since it happened at least), but I thought it was pretty cool when Kent, Drew, Martin, and Anderson hit four home runs on five pitches and tied the game in the 9th inning against San Diego. Just something that I don't really think will ever be done again.

EDIT: Looking at the video, it appears Drew had a 2-1 count. Maybe it wasn't on five pitches, but it was definitely back-to-back-to-back-to-back fashion. I believe the Red Sox did that as well this century, but not in comeback fashion like this.

The scene in money ball gave me goosebumps.

Re: Most Memorable Game This Century

Man, the whole century? That's a lot of games.

My top 5 (that I've personally watched) are
1. Game 4 of the 04 WS
2. Game 6 of last year's WS
3. Game 4 of the 04 ALCS
4. Game 6 of the 11 WS.
5. Game 163 of the 2008 season.

But as for the whole century, there's Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, the 1993 WS walk-off, Dallas Braden's no-hitter on Mother's Day after losing his mom to breast cancer, there's just way too many.

Re: Most Memorable Game This Century

2008...

Cubs v Phillies at Wrigley...

Took the train from Memphis, first time to Chicago, first MLB game...grew up a Cubs fan from the time I played 2nd base in 1986, pitching machine league.

Chicago was amazing.

August...hot...Cubs were doing well, best record in the NL that year by 5 games...sat in the LF bleachers...got sunburned through my clothes, I swear...almost unbearable.

Zambrano scratched...Marshall spot start...Werth homered, Cubs lost...

Phils went on to win the Series...

So...yeah...I was there when the season turned, at least that's how it seemed to me. Cubs went on to lay a big egg against the Phils in the playoffs. I felt like my going to Chicago was a bad thing...I just had this feeling that that series, a 2-2 split, just marked the shift in the balance of power...the Cubs were on the descent.

A more sober consideration...I imagine those day games, so many of them, in that climate, could really exhaust a team as fall approaches.

Gave Pat Burrell ish all day though.

Most Memorable Game This Century

It will have to be Joe Carter's '92 World Series walkoff homerun to win it all! I get goosebumps everytime I see that. Him jumping like crazy around the bases. That was awesome!

Another probably not memorable to most but to me, was Johnny MacDonald hitting a walkoff homerun in his first game back after his father's passing, especially with the lack of power he has, that year he would just hit the ball out. 6 homeruns in 160 or so AB and a slugging % of .454! I miss him, definitely one of my fave Jays.
