I'd probably have to say Cammy's 4-HR's (let's not forget him and Boone going B2B 2x in 1 inning either, since it had never been done and hasn't been done since). If I can call a game 163 a 'regular season' game, I would also say the 1 game playoff, 10/2/1995, Mariners vs Angels @ the Kingdome where the M's won their 1st division title.... cried like a baby that night!! :)

- In 1979 I saw a twi-night doubleheader at Memorial Stadium; the Orioles came from behind to win both games, the first one on a walk-off HR by Eddie Murray. Crowd went berserk.

 

- Saw Curt Schilling pitch a one-hitter at Veterans Stadium. That one hit by Bobby Bonilla went about 450 feet though!

 

- My first Phillies game at the Vet went 14 innings. Pirates scored 2 in the top of the 14th and the Phillies scored 3. Wow.

 

- Cubs game at Wrigley in 2003, Mark Prior struck out 16 batters, struck out the side in the seventh and eighth. Dusty Baker pulls him in the ninth for Joe Borowski, who promptly gave up a hit, a walk and a three run homer for the loss. Other Wrigley game in 1998, Sosa hit #55 for the year and Kerry Wood homered too.

 

- Two games at PNC Park were the some of the weirdest: first game in 2001 against the D-Backs, Randy Johnson strikes out 16, setting the record for consecutive seasons with 300-strikeouts--and loses the game 7-2. Second game in 2006, Pirates beat the Tigers 9-2 with a 7-run 7th inning. In that inning one double was hit hard, all of the rest of the hits were little dribblers that either squeaked through the infield or bounced off a fielder's glove.

 

- Saw Mike Mussina's 100th win, Randy Myers' 300th save, and Eddie Murray's 500th HR at Camden Yards. Also saw Cal play consecutive game #2,128. I was at Camden the night of the infamous "blackout game" which evolved into a rumor that Ripken's wife was sleeping with Kevin Costner.

 

- My last game at Memorial; Orioles beat the Yanks 6-3 on homers by Ripken and Mike Deveraux--who would both also homer in my first game at Camden Yards--against the Yankees. Only suicide squeeze I've ever seen live executed successfully by the O's. I didn't know how to score it.

Dallas Braden's perfect game, I felt bad for going away that weekend with Sunday being Mother's Day but after the game I didn't care that I missed mother's day, sorry mom! It was crazy because it was the first time I spent a lot of money on tickets, I got tickets 3rd row behind home plate, I think it was called the Diamond Level. It was the perfect view to watch the game. I remember one guy sitting next to us said "do the rays have a hit yet?" and everyone around him yelling shut up. I was one of the 12,228 people there that day!

I am sure (just like you probably have this thought with your world record breaking game in 2008)-but it was August.14/2009 when Brandon Inge hit a walkoff HR for a 1-0 Detroit Tigers victory-and end my 30-24 streak.  There was even an awesome fireworks display after.
