My kid told me that MLB The Show 24 on his PlayStation had a download for iconic moments in baseball. So far, the only plays on there are a couple from Derek Jeter. Besides the Willie Mays catch in the 54 World Series, what iconic moments would you choose?

Way way too many.

Bill Buckner!

One of my all time favorites...

I watched Nolan Ryan’s last No Hitter as it was happening. Fun watching him kicking ass too.

Agreed, too many. Ones that come to mind immediately, Kirk Gibson's WS homerun, Hank Aaron's 715, Sandy Koufax's fourth no hitter, Carlton Fisk iconic homerun, Don Larsen's perfect game . . . just to name a few.

Never did touch 3rd or home

Just one of several from Bo Jackson:


Nolan Ryan kicking Robin Ventura's ass:


Bill Mazeroski Home Run to Win the World Series:


Bill Buckner booting a play:

George Brett Tar Bat Event:



AND the classic of all classic catches we imitated as kids over and over again (at least tried):

This to me was it. I watched this live sitting in a dive bar, completely spell-bound by the drama. Many of the others in the bar were in the same boat, just mesmerized. Before that moment, I was not a Gibson or Dodgers fan in the slightest, but it seemed that it portrayed all that was magical and good about the game.

The sound was turned off in the bar so I didn't even have the benefit of Vin Scully's call. It was years before I saw a replay with the audio enabled.

Bo Jackson in the outfield throwing out Reynolds at home plate. Just amazing!

Ichiro throwing out Terrence Long at third. (Just spent 30 min trying to figure out how to get an embed code but I can’t figure it out).

Kirk Gibson's game winning home run in 1988 world series. His knee was messed up and he could barely walk.

I saw Frank Howard throw from deep right to third and nail the runner. That was at the Coliseum.

This is #1 in my book. Both the homer and Vin Scully's call.

More of a local iconic moment because no one outside of Seattle (and New York City) watched it due to this happening so closely after the contemptible and divisive lockout by MLB. But the results of this game effectively saved major league baseball in Seattle.
