What was the best Yankees game you've ever attended? 

Post#1 » by ReggieFULLeffect » Sat Sep 22, 2007 5:29 pm

For me it would have to be Game 7 of the 03' ALCS when Boone hit one off of Wakefield to send us to the series. The feeling of turning the absolute dread of losing this game into sheer jubilation in that 8th inning(and subsequently when Aaron came up) is indescribable. The game ended and me and my pops probably stayed in the stadium for another hour hanging with the other fans. That was the 1st and only playoff game I've ever been to. I cut football practice to go see it -- some captain.

my 1st game July 4th 1983 Ragghti's no hitter against Boston , only thing I remember was a Red Sox Fan Face matiching boston's Sox

Either Roger Clemens 300th win or 40th birthday can't remember which , i think it was the b-day since it was a day game .

Bernies last regular season game at the stadium

Cecil Feilder becoming the 1st player since Maris I belive to hit 50 or more HR's

I forget what year it was, 99 or 2000. But the Indians were beating the crap out of us. I do remember it was Richie Sexson's first big league game and he hit a homer his first at bat. But what made it so memorable was Jeter driving the ball to the Right Center gap to drive in two runs to win the game. The stadium was going ballistic and I remember walking down the ramps with everyone one screaming DER-EK JET-ER!! It was a great feeling!

Every other game was either a blow out with us winning or losing. I did also go to game 1 to the 2003 ALCS but Wakefield shut us out 1-0.

Dude, I was at this game. I had school the next day so my dad forced me and my cousin to leave in the 8th. We were waiting for the train outside of the stadium and all of a sudden you heard an eruption from behind us and then we heard Sinatra. We then had to wait around to find out what happened.

Ever since that game beating the traffic, school nights, etc. have no factor whatsoever in any game we go to. I've been to 3 walkoff games in my lifetime. It should've been 4. My dad f'ed up that night.
