Ken WirtThe most exciting thing I've ever witnessed at a ballgame was seeing McGwire's final four HR's of 1998 (#'s 67-70). Maybe it's a bit tainted now, but a crowd has never gone crazier!
I also was fortunate enough to see a game in 1974, in which Bob Gibson brought his strikeout total up to 2999 (uhgg)! But what was really cool, was that in that same game, Hank Aaron got a pinch-hit single. Aaron was essentially making farewell appearances by then, and that was his only at-bat of the series. Once he reached first, they pinch-ran for him, and the St. Louis fans gave him a huge standing ovation. I was 13 years old and will never forget that!
