A few:
1) Saw Lou Brock double up someone at first base from left field after catching a line drive. Gibson was pitching. 1968.
2) Saw Gibson get his 2999th strike-out! Hank Aaron got a pinch-hit single during his farewell tour.
3) Saw George Brett creep his average up to .399 in mid-September, 1980. Think he went 4-for-5.
4) Saw final two games in St. Louis, 1998. McGwire hit HR's #67-70. Maybe it is tainted now, but still the most exciting sporting event I've ever witnessed!
5) Saw the playoff game where Rick Ankiel lost his mind. With a 6-0 lead in the third, he threw something like 10 wild pitches, and was never the same again.
