Default What game would you want to see?

That's easy: Vander Meer's 2nd consecutive no-hitter (the 1st night game at Ebbets Field)
C'mon!

Geez, honestly there are really so many. I would love to have seen Matty, Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Carl Hubbell and Bob Feller pitch their best games...

How about you, Ben?

Assuming you are talking about baseball games I would like to go back and see the perfect world series game thrown by Don Larsen, with only 97 pitches. And only one batter ever got a 3 ball count on him. He was quoted as saying he had great control that game "I never had that kind of control in my life" he said. (all according to wiki)....Or maybe Ruth's called shot to see if he really called it.

What a shocker Scott!

I'll go with Walter Johnson - Smokey Joe Wood classic showdown, 1912 or so I believe.

Not far behind -- Bobby Thomson and the Shot Heard Round the World 1951 playoff game.

Man, it's fun to imagine.

Default Thomson's Game...

Shot Heard Round the World. I would sneak my way into the general area that the ball landed as that ball has NEVER conclusively come up for auction. I would scratch, claw, rumble, and then offer a lot of cash on the spot for it. /then take my little prize back to 2015.....

I'm packed. When do I leave?

Peace, Mike

3) Watch the greatest team; a 1927 game.. maybe game 4 ws or ruth beltig number 60.
4) old, cartoon like players where no footage exists in their primes primes/dead ball era.

After thinking it over, I would love to be at the 1916 game 2 ws game watching Babe Ruth giving one of the greatest pitching performances in WS history. I would love to experience his true greatness as a pitcher. Seriously,, how good was he? What could he have been? I also think it would be crazy cool being the only one at the park knowing what he would turn into(including the babe).
Babe Ruth pitched a 14 inning complete game with 13 scoreless innings in a row and drove in 1 of the 2 runs needed for the win.
I would love to see his swing which didn't do much that game and his temperament when he struck out 2 times. I would love to see poetry in motion on the mound(at least how I envision it from the photo below). I would also like to see how he interacted with players and the crowd at that young age.
In closing, I would like to get him to sign multiple early era sigs and a letter to me. I would simply offer him beers, cigars and food for the sigs. Who knows.. maybe I could be his wing man for a night and see what the ladies were like 99 years ago. 99 bottles of beer on the.. ok.. tired.. going to bed.

May 8, 1968 -- Catfish Hunter's perfect game vs. Minnesota, at Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland. Only 6,200 fans witnessed the 9th perfect game in MLB history, but it was a dandy. Besides fanning the great Harmon Killebrew three times, Hunter came back from a 3-0 count to fan Tony Oliva and K'd the last two men he faced: Bruce Look and Rich Reese. Catfish also helped his own cause with 3 RBIs in Oakland's 4-0 win, thanks to a bunt single in the bottom of the seventh (to score Rick Monday), and a 2-run single in the eighth.

Murr,
I had the opportunity to spend 15 minutes with Rich Reese one time in AZ.
We arranged a meet after exchanging a couple of letters perhaps 10 years ago.
I have always been interested in Reese for several reasons including him being Nolan Ryan's final strikeout in his MLB record 383rd strikeout in 1973, a game that I actually witnessed as a teenager.
We spoke at length about sports, his career in baseball and his amazing career in business.
With regards to Catfish Hunter's perfect game, he was especially proud of the fact that he forced Catfish to really dig deep in his final at bat in order to get the perfecto. I believe that Reese told me that he made him throw 11 pitches and really twist in the wind before getting him out.
Rich Reese is truly one of the nicest, most straightforward, candid and interesting people that I have ever met.

Default Spahn vs. Marichal

I would opt for something a little out-of-the-box: The regular season game in the early 1960s when Warren Spahn and a young Juan Marichal battled 16-innings and both went the distance. A classic pitching duel between two great Hall of Fame pitchers.

Knowing what was to come, I'd like to see Clemente collect his 3,000 hit.

Game three, 1932 World Series, October 1, 1932. Would like to be an eyewitness to Babe calling his shot...or not.

Unfortunately I only have one shot at this so I would pick the 1933 All Star game. That would cover a ton of legends and my favorite park in all its glory.

I would go back to the first official scored major league baseball game, and gather, beg, buy, and haggle for as much memorabilia and autographs as I could get.
I know the infield would be missing at least one base.
By the way, can my digital camera go along too?

Its an interesting thing, regarding the digital camera but moreso about wanting to buy things. A lot of people say they would go back in time to buy x item, but you would also need to source period money to use. I doubt you'd be able to pass off our current money in the past.
