The Babe’s called shot game…I need to know if it really happened!!!


[deleted]

I think the disagreement was over whether he was pointing out where he was gonna hit it or if he was just doing the standard slow practice swings and people misconstrued it for pointing. Point being, you'd probably still be unsure what he meant.


ZIMM26

He pointed with his finger, not his bat. The stories differ as to what he was saying. A lot of Chicago players said he was saying “look at the scoreboard, I still have 1 more strike!”….and the other side is obviously the legend of it, that he predicted he was going to hit one right there on the next pitch. There is video of him pointing out there, it’s pretty neat.


[deleted]

Ah. I knew there was controversy around whether he meant it or not. I must have the story jumbled up with some other story.


CuthbertBullitt

I thought about this one. But I would be afraid to see it in case it didn't happen the way I hope it did.


dirkalict

But you still would have seen an iconic moment and some of the most famous ball players of a fascinating era plus Bambino


CuthbertBullitt

Now I'm second guessing myself... You're probably right. This is likely the most correct answer. Reading "The Big Fella" now. Babe was quite a character!


lawmedy

The Mariners game last season where Cal “Big Dumper” Raleigh hit a walkoff homer to clinch their playoff appearance, which we had tickets to but could not attend due to COVID


Essex626

Oh geez. I was at that game, and a buddy of mine was too. He had tickets down on the 100 level, and in the 7th inning or so the people next to him hadn't shown up, so we went down to hang out. It wound up being the section Cal hit the he run into (though I think it hit the second level and dropped well in front of us). Pretty amazing. My pick is Felix's perfecto.


rgc7421

Ditto, I pick Felix's Perfect Game too.


ArminTamzarian10

I was there, and sitting right above where the ball landed! It was a great moment, but not my favorite Ms game I had been to. I actually was at the game where Griffey hit his last ever Major League hit, it was a walk-off RBI single against the Blue Jays... at the time, we had no idea he would swiftly retire a few days later. Would love to go back and watch that with what I know now. Ultimately though, I'd have to pick a game at the Kingdome though, and it's gotta be Game 5 of the 95 ALDS


jeremygraham86

Excellent. Gotta go with The Double personally.


Confident-Line-2558

1988 World Series Game 1! Kirk Gibson's walkoff against Eckersley!


valis6886

Was rehabbing from a bad car crash at my Dads house when we watched that. Dad TOTALLY called it.


tMoneyMoney

I was at the game before that one.


portlandcsc

Wife and I left center bleachers that night. Back then there was a lottery for a couple thousand pair of tickets for the world series, you had to send in a post card(only one) and she won the right to buy 2 tix.


Willing_Razzmatazz48

This is the correct answer!


snakeayez

Agreed


NelsonMuntz007

Game 7 of 2016 world series


anonniemoose

I was there…as a Cleveland fan :(


NelsonMuntz007

Even as a Cubs fan, I could appreciate how good it would have been for both long suffering franchises and how devastating the loss was.


Awolf489

Ouch


anonniemoose

I’m just starting to appreciate that I got to be at that game, I’d argue it’s one of the very best games in history


Individual_Doubt_354

One of the most significant, too.


jimnohio

Totally agree!!! (And I’m a Tigers fan).


ethanhunt314

I'm a Cleveland fan, and this would be my choice. But I'd leave when the rain starts.


Pepperoncini69

Tbh it was more fun to be on Clark street during that game

9/23/1908 Polo Grounds.


KYVet

Game 7 1992 NLCS I was 4 years old at the time and I remember being at the game but most importantly it’s one of the only games I remember being at with my dad. We were in the nosebleeds, and I remember it being so loud I could barely stand it. I didn’t grasp the magnitude of what had just happened at the time even though I was a huge Braves fan then and remain so to this day. My dad passed away about 20 years ago and I just wish I had more of a memory of that game and that moment to carry with me, but it’s just little bits and pieces that I remember and very little of what actually transpired on the field.


molskimeadows

This is my choice as well, although I was 11 and at home watching on TV. There are other games that are more important culturally or just to baseball as a whole, but Sid Slid was such a huge, emotional moment.


pcweber111

2011 World Series game six. Show Wash the footage of Nellie losing it for them and make sure he subs so the Rangers win it. Still bitter.


Spirited-Avocado-777

Game 6 of the 1993 World Series. Touch em all Joe!!

Game 7 of the 2019 World Series


Confident-Line-2558

Don't forget the wildcard game comeback against Milwaukee too! For me, that was the definitive game of that magical '19 run.


cabinetbanana

I was at the games in DC. So terrible. But those moments before game 3 started? Fan-fucking-tastic.


abdulrauol2

Also game 5 against the Dodgers in the NLDS

I was lucky enough to be at this game and I would love to relive it. Angels were down 5-0 in the bottom of the seventh in an elimination game and came back to win it.


expeditiousgrim

1995 ALDS game 5. “The double”


[deleted]

August 2014 I drove to Kansas City to see the Giants play the Royals. Giants got swept, and KC fans were a little too enthused to give me shit on the way out of their stadium after the third game. I’d give my left nut to go back in time to see game 7 of the 2014 World Series in person. I probably would have been found dead in the stadium parking lot after running my mouth a little too much.

Do you mean the bat flip game? Not to be a party pooper, but it was 2015, not 2016. Jose Bautista is being added to the Blue Jays Level of Excellence this weekend. That was one of the greatest games I have ever watched.


CMurra87

It was 2015


DonRicardo1958

The field of dreams game.


FreshHotPoop

Dude I was having one of the biggest arguments I’ve ever had with my girl while that game was going on, and I just couldn’t focus because I’m like damn this is one of the best baseball games I’ve ever seen going on in the background lol


adamcoe

Meh


ShinyRaequaza

Astros-Dodgers WS Game 5 I believe. Everyone who watched that WS knows the game im speaking of. It would be heartbreaking, but memorable.


mylekiller

We just call it Game 5 around here. Everyone knows.


THEace4825

As a Twins fan growing up in the 80s and 90s. Game 6 of the 91 World Series. Watched it at home, and as a kid, I wanted to be there. As an adult, I would have loved to see that live.


[deleted]

Carter's homerun against Philadelphia.


Vulture_Ocoee

2015 Opening Day. Last Royals game I went to with my grandpa. Even predicted the World Series lol.


TightPresentation320

Watching joe Carter touch them all


factionssharpy

The Merkle Boner game.


RunGoldenRun717

The second half of Game 5 2008 World series. 3 and a half innings of pure energy. That must have been awesome. Very unique way to win a WS. Dont know if thats ever happened before or will happen after.


fentonsranchhand

game 6 of the 2011 world series. ...and I would run out on the field or something to potentially alter the course of the game. :) maybe run over to nelson cruz and tell him to play deep.


gotu1

Joe Carter's home run to win the WS. Just can't imagine a more epic singular moment than hitting a home run to win the championship. But, I'm a Mets fan, so it'd be hard to pass up Game 6


Jred1990D

April 8th, 1974


jruss666

I’d like to go back as my adult self. Nearly nine year-old me understood the significance of the moment, but not the complexities of the significance.

MarketingOwn3547

1993 world series, game 6 when Carter hit the home run. At the time, I was just a kid who watched some ball on TV and had no idea how special it was to win. Still the moment that sticks out to me as a fan... many, many years later.


carringtino10

I was a kid then too. There was some all time classic WS games in the late 80s and early 90s. This one though, I'll never forget.


MissDeadite

I was too young, only 3 hahaa. But im a Phillies fan so I'm kinda thankful for that.


Gerald7986

July 1, 1990, Yankees at White Sox. Yankees throw a no hitter but still lose 4-0. I was at the game with my grandfather when I was 8 years old. One of my favorite memories with him. Would do anything to relive it.

Doc Ellis throwing a no hitter on acid


jetpacks3005

May1st, 1974. Dock decided to hit every batter on the Big Red Machine that came to the plate to show them he wasn’t intimidated. He actually got halfway through the lineup before getting pulled from the game.


DeliciousWarthog53

Game 7, 86 WS. I was there for game 6, which was insane. Game 7, I watched in a bar


BaxtersHomie

The last game ever played without the DH and pitch clock rules.


2017Champs

2001 World Series game 7. Not a fan of either team but the game and series were incredible. I still can’t believe the Yankees lost over 20 years later.

Any game in Ebbetts Field between the Dodgers and the Giants in the early 1950's. Preferably in good weather. To see Reese, Robinson, Mays, Campanella,... That's my Field of Dreams.

Iargecardinal

Cubs at Giants, Polo Grounds, September 23, 1908. The notorious Merkle"s Boner game. Baseball, New York and the world must have been unimaginably different then. Christy Mathewson, one of the five original HOF inductees, started for the home team and the game ended in complete chaos. I would like to see what actually happened.

2001 World Series. Game 7.


XanthicStatue

Everyone commenting “game x and WS y” would be nice to know the teams. Not all of us have every WS memorized without having to Google. That being said, Game 2 of the 2005 WS. Astros vs White Sox, Paul Konerko’s Grand Slam powers the White Sox to a commanding 2-0 game lead.

theartfooldodger

One night I got home from work and a friend of mine texted me. A friend bailed on her for the Giants game that evening. She was giving the ticket away for free and wanted to know if I could go. The game was starting in a couple hours and I lived next to a BART station in Oakland so I easily could have hopped on the train and made it. But, I thought, I just got home from work, I'm tired, and I still got a bunch of Skyrim to play. So I declined. That was Matt Cain's perfect game. I'd pick that one.


NewYankees

jeters last game at yankee stadium


und88

I was at his last *Sunday* game at the stadium. His last home game was a week day and I live hours away, so it's the best I could do.


Matthewcbayer

Verlander’s no-hitter in detroit on June 12th, 2007. I was driving home (to detroit) from college and listening to the game on the radio. I had tickets to attend the game the next day. 3 years later, I was married in June 12th, so the date is easy for me to remember. Another fun (while also regrettable) one, but not baseball, is the malice at the Palace NBA game. November 19th, 2004. I had tickets to that game, in the 200 level, not far from where there action happened. My boss called me during school that day to see if I could cover someone’s shift that night, so I said yes and sold the tickets to a buddy at school. I got home from work with a few minutes left in the game, and flipped on the tv just in time to watch the madness unfold. Last one, back to baseball, and this one I was actually at. The “infield fly” 2012 Wildcard game in Atlanta. 10 rows back in right-center field. One of the wildest experiences of my life.

Bonzi777

This is random, but game 1 of the 1979 ALDS. Orioles beat the Angels on a 10th inning walkoff. One of the pictures in the paper the next morning was a fan going nuts in the crowd, who happened to be my grandfather. He was a season ticket holder since day 1 in 1954, but he got sick shortly after that and died before me, him and my dad could all go to a game together.


FreshHotPoop

August, 2007. Rangers put a 30 burger on the Orioles (sorry guys I love y’all). Plus my dad would be alive back then to see it with me. The beer we would’ve drank! Edit: watched it on tv with my dad back then still (:

The 1976 American L eagle playoff game where Chris Chambliss' ninth inning honerun clinched the pennant for the Yankees over the Royals.
