Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Great Moments in Baseball

Talk about being destroyed.

John Kruk was a riot. He ended his career by getting s base hit, taking himself out of the game, and leaving the field to never return. He was a pretty good ball player and .300 hitter.

That plate appearance against The Big Unit was during an All-Star game.

The Big unit left the Seattle Manures and then won 7 Cy Youngs.

Bill Buckner.


Need I say more?

What was he, 6'7", 100mph with attitude? What a nightmare.

6' 10" He was really wild his first few years, then he had a little talk with Nolan Ryan which helped him.

Ha! That's funny.

My tops has to be when Hank Aaron broke the Babe's record.

Kirk Gibson coming off the bench in the 88 world series to hit a game winning home run off "Eck" and fist pumping as he rounds second.

Nolan Ryan beatin the snot out of Robin Ventura was great for me.

Yep.

Jack Morris pitching a 10-inning shutout against the Braves in Game 7 of the '91 World Series. The Twins walked off in the 10th on s Gene Larkin single with Dan Gladden scoring from 3rd.

Twins manager Tom Kelly had tried to take Morris out of the game earlier, but Morris refused to give up the ball. Kelly later said, "It would have taken a shotgun to get him out."

Jack Morris pitching ten innings of shutout baseball to win the '91 World Series with the MN Twins.. I've never in my life seen anything like that performance...

When we were playing for the state championship in High School.

Buddy of mine swatted at a wasp and it came after him. He turned to run and squarely met a 2" metal pole...

That was a great moment in baseball...

Game was postponed for 10 min. so EMT's could wake his azz up. He had a knot on his forehead a calf could suck on.

Wade Boggs riding a NYC police horse in Yankee Stadium, upon winning a World Series, with the Yankees... "When Nomar wants a ring bad enough, he can come join me"!
2nd place = Bill Buckner playing pepper with Mookie Wilson!

Not to mention Chuck Knoblauch and Greg Gagne dekeing Lonnie Smith into not scoring on a hit and run double. A truly great game.

Ryan v. Ventura HAS to be mentioned.

Welcome to the Big Leagues, son.

I once had a religious epiphany because of baseball.

Back in the '90s the Dodgers had a shortstop named Jose Offerman. Great hitter, but he simply couldn't field at the major league level. One year he nevertheless got voted onto the All Star team, much to my disgust.

He got into the All Star game in the late innings and promptly made an error. That's when I knew there was a God.

Offerman was so upset by his poor fielding that after the game he walked in front of a moving bus. Fortunately, it rolled between his legs.

Barry Bonds vs. Eric Gagne

Late innings, the Dodgers are ahead by more runs that Bonds represents.

Bonds, a LH hitter, hits a 100 mph fastball foul over the right field bleachers into SF Bay. It's hard enough to hit a 100 mph fastball, but it's amazing to hit it right on the screws but have it go foul because you were ahead of it.

He hit a following pitch for a HR. Wow.
