My sports watching lifetime:
Baseball: Nolan Ryan Football: Barry Sanders Basketball: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Hockey: Wayne Gretzky My all-time list: Baseball: Mordecai Brown vs. Christy Mathewson Football: Jim Brown Basketball: Kareem Hockey: Gretzky I would have loved to be in attendance for a title fight featuring Ali in his prime. Not so much because I'm a boxing fan but because of the electricity in the crowd that goes along with a heavyweight title bout.

My dad and I had season tickets (Sunday Plan, 13 games per year) at Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia from 1980-1986. This was before Interleague play, so the AL players who were at the top of their game at that point in time was not on my radar...until the '83 World Series.
The Phillies drew first blood; however, lost in five games. I wish that my focus expanded to the "other league" and I inspired my dad to take a road trip to Baltimore and watched Cal Ripken, Jr. when I was younger. I love the game now and wish that hometown loyalties did not stunt my growth so much.

I have been lucky and have seen all the baseball players I have ever wanted to see over the last 30 years.
The only person I would have loved to see live in person that I did not is Alonzo Mourning, he is my all time favorite basketball player. Weirdly he is the only big star from that era I did not see live.

I was a big Nolan Ryan fan as a kid, but never saw him pitch.

I have a great story that is somewhat related.
About 18 or 20 years ago my dad and I were discussing different players we had seen. He grew up in New York and I in New Jersey so we had both been to many games in both leagues. I said he was lucky because he saw Mays, Mantle, Aaron and others in that era. He even went to a Yankees game in 1948 with my grandfather to see DiMaggio play. My dad was only 6 at the time. He reminded me that I had seen some great players as well. I saw Ryan pitch, Bench and Rose, Schmidt. Even saw Brett, Yount, and others in the AL. About this time we were both feeling pretty good about our respective list when my 88 year old (at the time) grandmother looked up from her needle point and said "When I was a teenager a man in my church took me and a friend to the Yankees game and I saw Babe Ruth hit a home run."  Needless to say we both knew who won that discussion. Love that story. As far as the OP question. I guess I wish I saw a Randy Johnson pitch. I've still yet to see Pujols play but I did go to a Braves game last Saturday night against the Marlins and saw Ichiro for the first time. That was cool. Drew
