Could be any sport. College, pro, Olympics, etc.

Could be something you watched on TV, streamed, or attended in person.
 
I’ve been to 5 Patriots winning SBs. I’ve seen them win on last second FGs. I was at game 4 in St Louis when the Red Sox won the WS and broke the curse of the Bambino. I was in the stands for the “tuck rule” game against the Raiders in the snow. I worked security at Fenway for four years and saw virtually every home game. I still have my Patriots season tickets which I’ve had since Parcells was the coach. Despite all that this remains my all time favorite sports moment.

 
06 ALCS clinching walk off

In attendance, I was just a kid, but me and my grandpa had seats at the finish line at Atlanta for my birthday. Dale Earnhardt won his second to last race when he edged Bobby Labonte at the line.

The very next year, same seats, Earnhardt’s replace, Kevin Harvick won his first ever race 3 races after Earnhardt died. Same fashion as Dale the year before, edged Jeff Gordon at the line

Been a Kevin Harvick fan ever since. Carved out his own HOF legacy these last 20 years too
 
Damn, too many to count really. I've been a Boston sports fan going all the way back to the Impossible dream in 67 & Bobby Orr and the Big Bad Bruins so I've seen 3 Stanley cups from them, 6 or 7 Celtics championships going back to the Dave Cowens era, the Red Sox since 2004 and their 4 championships along with some great wins and a lot of heartbreak back in the seventies when I was a teenager. And then the last 20 years of the Patriots

I consider myself as a very lucky man to be a Patriots, Bruins Celtics and Red Sox fan.
 
Been to countless Braves games. Nothing significant ever happened. Saw a no hitter get lost in the 8th once and saw Chipper Jones set a record for most consecutive games with an extra base hit
 
And if the UGA games I’ve attended, Rodrigo Blankenship’s first game winning FG is the only thing of note to happen.

But I was in attendance for Johnny Manziel’s last college game. At the Georgia Dome against Duke. Lead a pretty impressive comeback
 
I saw the Giants hit a grand slam against the Rangers last night. That was nice.

I was watching this live in my favorite college bar with my Dad and a number of friends, one of whom is a lifelong UM fan. As soon as it was over he glared at me and then walked out of the bar. Didn't talk to me for almost a month. :heh:
 
About the only thing that might have relevance outside of a fan base is that I was at Game 1 of the 1995 NBA Finals. If it were a Friends episode it would be called The One Where Nick Anderson Missed all Those Free Throws Late. Poor Nick, he was a pretty good player and a great teammate. The arc of his career noticeably leveled out some after that experience.

Only (some) Eagles fans will remember this one….2006 (I think) they were playing the Bucs in Tampa. Hot as shit out. McNabb throws 3 horrid INTs in the first half and they are down something like 21-3. Then in the second half he legit pukes on the field, then starts to lead them back. Westbrook takes a shallow cross 50+ yards to take the lead by one or two. I look up….31 seconds left….and I don’t feel good.

And with good reason…..I got to witness what at the time was a record tying field goal distance….at the buzzer….Bucs win. That sucked.

Mike Skinner had the race of his life that day. Had the win in the bag until his engine blew with less than 20 to go, would have been his only career win.


Darrel Waltrip always used to be concerned about lapped cars costing a driver a win on the last lap, even though it never happened
 
My Dad and I, 1972 Game 4 NHL vs Soviet Union Summit Series in Vancouver at the Pacific Mausoleum, a 4-1 loss for Canada.

My Dad won his 2 tickets, can't recall from where other than he showed up for dinner one day with them stuck to his forehead.

We needed a Sherpa guide to find our seats but this happened right in front of us.

 
Not much here. Went to Kemper Arena in 85 and watched the very last game of the Kansas City Kings. They played the LA Lakers.
