This is a most interesting thread! My choices, in chronological order:
(1) Any 1888 or 1889 home game won by the Washington Nationals in which both "Dummy" Hoy and Connie Mack played the entire game. Hopefully, I would get their signatures on N172 Old Judge cards after the game.
(2) 1924 World Series, Washington's only WS Championship - hopefully seated next to Hank T. & George T.
(3) 1925 World Series, Game 3 in which Sam Rice made his famous, disputed catch as he tumbeled over the short right field wall into the temporary stands - hopefully seated next to Hank T. & George T.
(4) July 30, 1962, the second 1962 All-Star game (at Wrigley Field) in which Pete Runnels (my favorite Senator when I was a kid and winner of the 1962 AL batting title) hit a pinch-hit home run (Runnels was not a power hitter).
(5) April 8, 1974, at Atlanta when Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run to pass Babe Ruth.
