So I think Ripken breaking the streak would qualify, as well as the Earnhardt death and the Armstrong wins.Reggie's 3 HRs in the World Series and the Fisk homer are more than 25 years old (barely), so they won't make it.No one's mentioned #1 yet. Surprising, since we've been reminded of it in recent weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though those are all good and should make the list (post 9-11 baseball already has). Trust me, when you figure out what my #1 is you'll go "ohhhhhh." What I have in mind is without a doubt the greatest sporting moment in recent memory. By far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
