Inspired by drumming57 e-mail; your top Yankee moments that you witnessed on the tube or in person. Hello baseball fans !
Are you ready for Armageddon this weekend @ Fenway ? The regular season doesn't get any better than this .
May the best team win & advance to the World Series !
Go Yanks,
Jimmy - here's his list - 1. Mariano Rivera induces Mike Piazza to fly out to Bernie Williams to win the 2000 Subway/World Series against the Mets.
2. Chris Chambis smacks a walk off series ending HR against the KC Royals in the 1976 ALCS.
3. Aaron Boone smacks a walk off series ending HR against the Red Sox in the 2003 ALCS.
4. David Cone pitches a perfect game @ Yankee Stadium on Yogi Berra Day...a day where Yogi & Don Larsen throw out the first pitch.
5. Graig Nettles becomes Brooks Robinson in Game 3 of the 1978 World Series & helps turn an 0-2 Series deficit into an eventual 4 games to 2 Series win against the Dodgers.
additional memories from the Old Stadium include going up to Michael Burke and getting his autograph a couple of rows from the Yankee Dugout.
The list of memorable television events would be something like this:
1-Chris Chambliss Homerun to win the Pennant against the Royals.
2-Bucky Dent Homerun to help win the division from the Red Sox.
3-Reggie's Three Home Run Game in the World Series with the Dodgers.
4-The first game played following Thurman Munson's death.
5-several including, Billy Martin taking Reggie out of the game in Boston, George Brett Pinetar Game, Dwight Gooden's No hitter, The Boston Massacre Series (first game) , David Cone no hitter, *Jim Abbott no hitter.
* I went to the game that followed Abbott's no-hitter and if memory serves me right, Linda was present for Dave Righetti's July 4th no-hitter, which, I was away from the TV set that day.
