Was at the Bruins game and it was Bobby Orr's 21st birthday and he scored the winning goal against the Chicago Blackhawks. Great game. Stan Mikita, Golden Jet, Tony O, fights, that whole 9 yards.
That was also the year he won all 4 trophy's and was sportsman of the year. The best , by far.
CHECK OUT THE STICKY

Was at Carl Yastrzemski's last 2 games in 1983! Yaz Day (2nd to last game) had front row in front of the visiting on deck circle! When he made his lap around Fenway to say goodbye to the fans......I got to "high five" him after I took what I think is one of the best photos of him making his farewell lap! I will post a pic shortly! I saw 15 games that year including his last Opening Day! He sure was a great ball player!  Also went to his induction ceremony 5 years later and saw him inducted along with Johnny Bench, Red Schoendist, Al Barlick and Harry Carey!
Saw Ted Williams in the first ever "Old Timers Game" at Fenway Park!! The most amazing thing about this day was what happened when Teddy Ballgame stepped into the batting cage to take a few warmup swings!!!! The media was just crammed up against the outside of the cage and when Ted got in there they all squatted down so as not to block everyones view......the place fell silent as he took a few swings and I gotta tell you.....it gave me chills to see him, even at his age line one into the outfield.....his swing was still a thing of beauty! He also made a shoe string catch of a ball hit to left.....the crowd went berserk!!!! Wow! Ted Williams!! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

1978 1 game playoff yanks/sox
Bucky bleepin Dent   not the best game but memorable.
also saw the 1996 afc championship game pats/jags wind chill of 25 below that night, great game. Big play Willie Clay came up with the clinching pick at the end.
Larry, that is pissa for you |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I was at the playoff game vs the Oilers (1978?), when Bum Phillips called the "bumarooski" play---shovel pass out of field goal formation--that gave Houston a key first down and changed the momentum of the game.
It was also the game where Fairbanks announced that he was leaving to take the HC job at the University of Colorado, before the game. The Pats wound up losing, and the fans pelted Fairbanks with oranges as he left the field.
It was the end of that first good run of Pats' seasons. "Fargo" Earhardt replaced Fairbanks and the Pats went into the crapper for a number of seasons. |

Yes Larry, seen all the home playoff games since 2001 except the snow game/Oakland, but my brother was there atleast, then he and his wife went to New Orleans for superbowl 36 the lucky bastard.
The Titans in 03 divisional playoff was the coldest ever, 2 degrees at game time , beer was frozen. The next week saw the Colts get beat and JohnR and Clammer were there before the game with us, it only snowed and was not as cold that game.
Any Jets/pats playoff game is always great   lots of their fans there to jaw with.
Mike, they sure did go downhill after he quit on the team 
Glad they got it together with a real good owner and coach now.
