All joking around aside, Jordan v. Celtics playoff game, Jordan scores 63 in o/t loss.

Game 7, Stanley Cup Finals, Calgary @ Tampa Bay. Had close to the worst seats in the house (third row from the top behind the goalie, could not see the other net because of the scoreboard.) The energy was unlike anything that I have ever experienced.

1986 American League Playoffs Red Sox against the Angels,
I had seats right on the Boston dugout, given to me by a friend.

I remember before the game, I was standing 10 feet away from
my childhood idol Carl Yastrzemski, and Tom Seaver.

Yaz was there for the festivities.

Super bowl XlV

1980 Super Bowl between Steelers and Rams won by Steelers by a score of 31-19 as 11.5 point favorites. The game was played on a gorgeous January day in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Franco Harris scored a late 2 yard TD to give the Steelers a half point cover and save the day for me.

Super Bowl XlV Kicksoff. 103,000 in attendence including yours truly..


January 20, 1980, Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif., Attendance: 103,985, MVP: Terry Bradshaw
Terry Bradshaw completed 14 of 21 passes for 309 yards and set two passing records as the Steelers became the first team to win four Super Bowls. Despite three interceptions by the Rams, Bradshaw kept his poise and brought the Steelers from behind twice in the second half. Trailing 13-10 at halftime, the Steelers went ahead, 17-13, when Bradshaw hit Lynn Swann with a 47-yard touchdown pass 2:48 into the third quarter. On the Rams' next possession, Vince Ferragamo, who completed 15 of 25 passes for 212 yards, responded with a 50-yard pass to Billy Waddy that moved Los Angeles from its 26 to the Steelers' 24. On the next play, Lawrence McCutcheon connected with Ron Smith on a halfback option pass that gave the Rams a 19-17 lead. On the Steelers' initial possession of the final period, Bradshaw lofted a 73-yard scoring pass to John Stallworth to put the Steelers in front to stay, 24-19. Franco Harris scored on a 1-yard run later in the quarter to seal the verdict. A 45-yard pass from Bradshaw to Stallworth was the key play in the drive. Bradshaw, the game's most valuable player for the second consecutive year, set career Super Bowl records for most touchdown passes (9) and most passing yards (932). Larry Anderson gave the Steelers excellent field position throughout the game with five kickoff returns for a record 162 yards.

Sunday Silence- Easy Goer Preakness. Neck and neck the entire stretch.


That was a great race. Nothing beats the Derby for atmosphere, build up, beautiful women and 2 solids minutes of pure excitement. I attended ever Derby from 78' till 89'. The most amazing in my eyes was the Spend a Buck win in 85'. Fastest time since Secretariat. I was in a box on the finish line that year and I still remember him coming down the stretch with all that power and beauty. Awesome live event. A live game 7 in a Stanley cup finals is not far behind. Best live event to attend ever. And I've been at most like VD.

I was at Belmont for the Belmont Stakes when Temperance Hill won by a nose at more than 50-1. I had $20 on him but had about $150 on 3 other horses. I won abundle & for that reason that was my favorite live event.
