Baseball's 30 Most Memorable Moments

Big_E · 07-10-02, 07:35 AM

I agree with most of the list revealed last night (even if I didn't like Game 7 of the WS last year...) but can't believe one of the 30 is:

"2001: Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners -- the first Japanese-born position player in Major League Baseball -- earns 2001 American League MVP and Rookie of the Year honors, as well as being the leading vote-getter for the 2001 All-Star Game."

That's one of the 30 most memorable moments???? Give me a break. If I had a vote, I'd dump that one and add in Bucky Dent's home run. Or Ted Williams' home run in his final AB.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The List:

1905: Christy Mathewson throws three complete-game shutouts as the New York Giants beat the Philadelphia A's 4-1 in the World Series.

1920: Boston Red Sox sell Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees on Jan. 3.

1934: Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants strikes out Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin in succession during the first and second innings of the All-Star Game at New York's Polo Grounds on July 10.

1938: Johnny Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Reds pitches the only consecutive no-hitters in Major League Baseball history against the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers.

1939: Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees retires from Major League Baseball with his ``luckiest man'' farewell speech on July 4.

1941: The Yankees' Joe DiMaggio sets a new Major League Baseball record by hitting safely in 56 consecutive games from May 15 until July 17.

1941: Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox finishes the season with a .406 batting average, the last player to do so.

1947: Jackie Robinson joins the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, becoming the first African American player in Major League Baseball.

1951: Bobby Thomson's ``Shot Heard Round The World'', a homer with two on and two outs in the ninth inning on Oct. 3 gives the New York Giants a 5-4 win over the Brooklyn Dodgers and the NL pennant.

1954: Willie Mays makes ``The Catch'' in deep center field during Game 1 of the World Series on Sept. 29, an over-the-shoulder grab of a line drive by Cleveland's Vic Wertz in the eighth inning to preserve a 2-2 tie. The New York Giants won with three runs in the 10th innings and swept the Indians in four games.

1956: Don Larsen pitches the only perfect game in World Series history in Game 5 on Oct. 8 as the Yankees defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers in seven games.

1960: Pittsburgh's Bill Mazeroski leads off the bottom of the ninth of Game 7 with a home run, breaking a 9-9 tie and giving the Pirates the World Series over the Yankees on Oct. 13.

1961: Roger Maris of the Yankees hits 61 home runs to break Babe Ruth's single-season home run record. His 61st homer came on Oct. 1, the final day of the regular season, in the fourth inning off Boston's Tracy Stallard and was the only run in New York's 1-0 victory.

1971: Satchel Paige became the first Negro League player inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

1972: Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates doubles off the Mets' Jon Matlack in the final game of the season (Sept. 30) for his 3,000th career hit. Clemente was killed in a plane crash on New Year's Eve while traveling to aid earthquake victims in Nicaragua.

1974: Hank Aaron of Atlanta break Babe Ruth's career record of 714 home runs on April 8. Aaron's 715th homer was a three-run shot off Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Al Downing in the fourth inning as the Braves won 7-4.

1975: Carlton Fisk of the Red Sox led off the bottom of the 12th with a home run off the left-field foul pole at Fenway Park in Game 6 of the World Series on Oct. 21, giving Boston a 7-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

1977: Reggie Jackson hits three home runs in three consecutive at-bats during Game 6 of the World Series on Oct. 18, giving the Yankees a series-clinching 8-4 victory over the Dodgers.

1985: Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds singled off San Diego's Eric Show in the bottom of the first inning on Sept. 11 for career hit 4,192, surpassing Ty Cobb as Major League Baseball's career hits leader.

1986: The New York Mets come back from a 3-2 series deficit to win Game 6 (Oct. 25) and Game 7 (Oct. 27) against the Boston Red Sox and clinch the World Series.

1988: Kirk Gibson's pinch-hit homer off Oakland's Dennis Eckersley with two outs in the bottom of the ninth gives Los Angeles a 5-4 win in Game 1 of the World Series (Oct. 15). The Dodgers went on to defeat the A's in five games.

1991: The A's Rickey Henderson steals third base in a game against the Yankees in Oakland on May 1 for career stolen base 939, eclipsing Lou Brock's previous record.

1991: Nolan Ryan pitches his seventh career no-hitter, extending his Major League record. The Rangers defeated the Blue Jays 3-0 in Arlington on May 1.

1993: Joe Carter of Toronto hits a series-ending, three-run home run off Phillies reliever Mitch Williams in the bottom of the ninth, giving the Blue Jays an 8-6 victory in Game 6 and their second straight World Series Championship on Oct. 23.

1995: Cal Ripken Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles plays in his 2,131st consecutive game on Sept. 6, breaking Lou Gehrig's record.

1998: The Cardinals' Mark McGwire and the Cubs' Sammy Sosa race to break Roger Maris' single season home run record. McGwire hit his 62nd home run of the season on Sept. 8. Sosa finished the season with 66 home runs and McGwire with 70.

2001: Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants hits his 71st home run of the season on Oct. 5, breaking Mark McGwire's single season home run record. Bonds finished the season with 73.

2001: After two game-tying home runs by the New York Yankees in Games 4 and 5 helped them take a 3-2 series lead, an RBI single by Arizona's Luis Gonzalez in the bottom of the ninth gives the Arizona Diamondbacks a victory in Game 7 for the first World Series Championship in franchise history on Nov. 4.

2001: Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners -- the first Japanese-born position player in Major League Baseball -- earns 2001 American League MVP and Rookie of the Year honors, as well as being the leading vote-getter for the 2001 All-Star Game.

What would you add and get rid of, if you could?

junkman73 · 07-10-02, 07:47 AM

I'd like to get rid of this one:

Quote:

2001: After two game-tying home runs by the New York Yankees in Games 4 and 5 helped them take a 3-2 series lead, an RBI single by Arizona's Luis Gonzalez in the bottom of the ninth gives the Arizona Diamondbacks a victory in Game 7 for the first World Series Championship in franchise history on Nov. 4.

and replace it with the following:

2001: New York Yankee rookie Alfonso Soriano hits an 8th inning solo HR off Arizona's Curt Schilling to break a 1-1 tie in Game 7. The Yankees' post-season hero Mariano Rivera then proceeds to come in and slam the door on the Diamondbacks to give New York its 4th straight title and 5th in 6 years.

Bozidar · 07-10-02, 08:08 AM

how about 1918? IS there a more memorable moment in sports? 1947 used to compete, but no longer.

THE BLACK SOX SCANDAL!? 1919?? Cummon... it's bigger than most stuff out there.

How about the 1927 yankees? Murderer's row? PHULEEZE!

How about the yanks winning 5 world series in a row? How is that not celebrated? It's the greatest achievement in baseball..

How is Yogi Berra not honored on the field? He's got more rings than Mr.T.

For a sport that has been dominated by the Yanks, there sure was a lack of yankee moments out there. Oh, they showed Maz's HR to beat the yanks.. and they showed Gonzo's hit to beat the yanks..

I just don't get how this franchise which defines this sport, isn't more "memorable".

Bozidar · 07-10-02, 08:10 AM

re: Bonds

I don't see how beating a 2 year old record is one of the most memorable moments in sports. Not in the least.

I thought it was VERY tacky that they honored Bonds last night. Wait till he retires, numbnuts..

Bozidar · 07-10-02, 08:14 AM

not for nothing.. but some of those strikes sure were memorable..

As was the time when our guys went off to war.

If you're going to call it Baseball's 30 most memorable moments, then DO it.

These seem to be Baseball's 30 things we picked out of a hat, because it sounded good.

Between 1920, and 1939, there wasn't a single more memorable moment than Bonds hitting 73? How about Ruth hitting more HRs than all the other clubs in his league? How about the greatest sports arena in baseball being built?

Nothing between 1920 and 1939 (Hornsby wins TWO Triple crowns, just like Williams), but there are THREE memorable moments in 2001?

It's a bunch of hogwash..

It was disgraceful to include the Buckner play too. Red Sox or not, leave the poor guy alone.

MantleMurcer · 07-10-02, 10:06 AM

How about Harvey Haddix's incredible pitching performance. Jeter's "toss" vs. the A's. Bucky Dent's home run.

I have to say.. that WAS pretty "memorable".

And at last check, Buckner was making money off autographs of pictures with Mookie Wilson

I think he's doing ok

Most folx know he was a great player for that team, and became the scapegoat for an entire geographical region..

Sixty one · 07-10-02, 02:54 PM

Obviously, there were many moments that were left off this list. However, I just voted and I thought the number one moment was Ruth being traded to NY! His contributions to the sport are well known and without him baseball would probably
have floundered for a long time...besides, this was the start of Yankee dominance!!

Bozidar · 07-10-02, 03:11 PM

I felt that the Ruth thing was just one more example of how they're stickin it to the yanks.

They mention Ruth being SOLD to the Yankees. Not that he was born, or him helping us win the WS. Nothing about the man himself, except that the most memorable figure in sports was BOUGHT by the Yankees.

Not one mention of the fact that Boston BOUGHT him from Baltimore in the first place..

:finger1:

rock · 07-10-02, 06:08 PM

Sounds like a lot of kids voted for the top 30. Way too many from 1990 till now. Ryan's no-hitter? Rickey breaking Brock's record?

1TonHumanHamsterWheel · 07-10-02, 06:34 PM

Add:
1932: Babe Ruth hits the "Called Shot" home run in the 5th inning of Game 3 of the WS.
1978: Bucky Dent's 7th-inning blast gives the Yankees the lead for good in a 1-game playoff against the Red Sox, after coming back from 14.5 games out.
1996: Jim Leyritz hits a game-tying, three-run homer off Mark Wohlers in the 8th inning of Game 4 to turn the World Series around. (OK, I'm just being a fan here, but it would be nice to see it on the list.)
Get Barry, and the Ruth trade, and most definitely Suzuki, off the list.
When they do name the single greatest moment during the Series this year, I think it'll be Kirk Gibson's homer in the '88 WS. Either that or:
2002: Jason Giambi hits a walk-off homer against John Smoltz in Game 6 to win the World Series for the Yankees against the Braves, 4-2.

Bucker's Error

Shadowboxer · 07-11-02, 01:17 AM

I personally cannot believe whoever made the list didn't include the Called Shot. Argubly one of the most talked moments in American sports history!

Putting on Suzuki's 'achievement' sounds like a poor PR move to appeal Japanese audiences. Why does MLB do their damnest to please foreign audiences in the expence of their own??? I'm not an American citizen, but this pisses me off - after all the ppl who live in the U.S. soil pay tax for ballparks and buy hotdogs and beer.

The whole 1998 Yanks team deserves some mention too: 125-50.

And, those back to back 9th inning magic in last November was helluva more special than the Luis Gonzales bloop hit. Everybody wins the WS every year, but Tino and Broisus HRs were baseball miracles.

SanFrANSKY · 07-11-02, 03:52 AM

David Cone's perfect game on Yogi Berra Day with Don Larsen watching on.

DannyAlmonte · 07-11-02, 03:31 PM

Well, it's obvious that baseball didnt want to shove NY baseball down the throats of its fans. I dont blame them, who in Kansas City wants to see that? So they tried to be politically correct. That's why you didnt see Bucky Dent's homerun (probably the greatest pennant race of all time), the 69 Mets, and the 73 Mets (closer to last place then first and came back to win the pennant), and Babe Ruth's called shot.
