I was lucky enough, in the span of 2 days...
To see... Junior Spivey of the D-Backs hit the first inside the park homerun in fenway by an opposing player in like 50 years...
Marcus Thames his a home run of Randy Johnson, in Yankee staduim in his first major league at bat.
Shane Spencer hit a walk off Grand Slam at Yankee Stadium. (i think it was spencer. beer had taken hold by that point.).
I saw Sammy Tie, and Break the single month homerun records at Tiger Stadium.
I saw McGwire hit one of only 6 ( i think) homers over the roof at Tiger Stadium.

I was at David Wells perfect game.

I was at the Jeffery Maier game also against the O's.

On the negative side, I was at game 7 against the Sox this year. It was like looking at a car wreck, I wanted to leave but I couldn't and stayed until then end.

Thats awesome. I, as a tiger fan, have witnessed a number of awesome things at tiger stadium and Comerca Park (Jeff Weavers near no hitter, juan gonzalez's near grand slam, mike maroths 2 one hitters, mcgwires homers, Bob Hamelins Tiger debut, etc..) But i have only had the honor of attending one game at Yankee stadium. D-Backs first appearance after beating the yankees in the series, with The Unit on the mound... I am jealous of those who have been to important game after game.

Yeah, mostly because of bad luck and run support. Not a great Pitcher, but definately a decent 3-5 starter on a good team. The problem was tha the Tigers used him as an ace two years ago. He almost no hit the orioles, only to lose the game. He also has two one hit shutouts on his resume The Tigers got him as a prospect in the Bryce Florie deal.

I was at that game with the in-the-parker at Fenway, that was pretty cool and we had great seats behind the plate.

Also at Fenway I saw Mo Vaughn hit three homers, one to each field, in a rout of the Yankees. It was my bachelor party and Mo is my second all-time favorite Red Sox player, so that was the coolest thing ever.

I haven't been to too many MLB games. I saw a game at Old Comiskey, I remember Jack Clark hitting a home run, heh.

I saw a lot of Peoria Chiefs games as a kid (single A minor league team for the Cubs, then the Cardinals, now the Cubs again). The owner of the team, Pete Vonachen, who was great friends with Harry Caray and a legend in Peoria (owns a decent restaurant there) was in the crowd throwing wiffle balls to the kids. I had on a Cubs shirt, and he threw me a real baseball instead (I was approximately 5 years old) :)

I was the 3rd baseman for a triple play on my age 7+8 baseball team.

I was a member of the 1995 Illinois State Champion team at the junior high level (East Peoria).

That's about it.

I went to Derek Jeter's first game as a pro (1992 Tampa Yankees).
I saw Mark McGwire hit a monstrous hr at the All Star Home Run Derby in 97.
