My most memorable sports moment wasn't an important game, it was just a regular season Celtics game at the ORIGINAL "Garden".
The Celts were playing the Lakers, and I had seats in the balcony, behind the basket.
Back then they weren't as strict with section access as they are now, so during the second quarter my kid sister and I wandered down to the floor level to try and get some pictures.
We were able to literally stand right behind the basket and sit on the foam platform the hoops were mounted on. At one point we almost had players fall on us as they had been driving in for a lay up and came down on the foam padding (where we had been sitting). That was when the "security personnel" asked us to get back to our seats.
I also got M.L. Carr's autograph that day, since he wasn't in uniform.
My brother works down near Fenway for a food vendor, and has met many of the Red Sox after the games, but that's HIS story, not mine.
