1. Jeter's flip by the plate. Went nuts for about four innings after that.
2. Iverson game 1, 2001 finals.
3. Aaron Boone's homerun 2003 ALCS.
4. LeBron's 48 in the Conference Finals against the Pistons.
5. Jeters walk off in the 2001 World Series.
MistaNova:
1). Ichiro's 2004 season in which he hit a MLB record 262 hits in a single season
2). Phil Hughes' Debut (first player I saw live in the minors make it to the majors)
3). Ichiro Suzuki Getting Traded To The Yankees (by 2012 I wasn't a kid anymore but fuck it, my dream came true)
4). The Manny Banuelos, Dellin Betances, and Andrew Brackman "Killer B's" Project/Disaster (by 2011 I wasn't a kid anymore but fuck it, this was a pretty costly disaster)
5). Alex Rodriguez Getting Traded To The Yankees

Some heart breakers, and some good times.
1. Watching Jim Abbott play for the first time. I was in awe of a one handed pitcher and many of us after he made his debut started to do the put the glove over our hand thing. I forgot if he won that game, but it was so cool.
2. Bo Jackson breaks his hip. I was in shock as my hero was carried off the field. They replayed the play over and over again. It was a sad moment, but not as sad as number 5.
3. Kurt Gibson's home run. This was before Jim Abbott made me an Angels fan. The whole Southern California went nuts. You'd think the Dodgers won after that, but it was just game 1. It was a moment that energizes the Dodgers past the heavily favored A's.
4. Lakers vs. Bulls, Magic vs. Air Jordan. This was pre His Airness days. I was very much going for the Lakers. Many at my school were pulling for Jordan and they had the shoes. The hype was crazy and when the Lakers won game 1 I was bragging about it at school. I took most the heat after the Bulls won. Many of those classmates are Laker fans today. Bandwagoners.
5. Magic came out HIV positive. I cried. It was the worst moment in sports for me. Magic was my hero, more so than Bo or Jim Abbott. For as long as I was alive, Magic was winning titles for the Lakers. To me no one could ever be better. The whole thing did introduce me to Arsenio and late night TV. But still, I'd rather have Magic play another 5 years and past the torch to Kobe while playing together and be HIV free.

Mostly because of impact. When I think of sports as a kid, that's always the first thing I think of. I did it based on impact. Not favorite. Besides, when you reach my age, it's hard to remember everything and you only remember the stuff that was high impact... LMAO.
