    Do you remember where you were when this happened?






    ...it capped a very improbable comeback ...down 4-0 vs Pedro. (Giambi had earlier hit 2 solo HRs off Pedro)

    One of the Golden Nuggets in the Franchise Treasure Chest. I was working that night but got home in time to catch the last three innings , Clemens with a poor start, Mo with a great pitching finish.

    I'm pretty sure I watched this by myself. At the time I was going through a nasty Divorce with my first Husband. Thanks for the memories Ron. :lol:

    ...I remember going nuts when Posada hit that blooper into CF to score 2 runs and tie the game...but when Boone hit the first pitch of the bottom of the 11th to win it, I started jumping up and down and got so excited that I accidently knocked one of my wife's prized pieces of collectable Wedgewood off a shelf and broke it...but it was well worth the $150 it cost me to replace it.

    "bat shit crazy, (and) with details" :crazy: :dunno: :roflmao:

    actually imo, the line between (b/t) sanity and madness, is but a razors edge (wide), a tight rope; or sign of the times....
    I think many cross from one side to the other; with regularity, but for whatever reason(s), I don't quit know...:mellow: :oldman:

    He was a big time Yankee fan used to go to the Games all the time with his friends. I kicked him out because he was a drunk. :lol:

    not because he took his buddies to the ballgame instead of taking you; that sux? That's grounds for more than a Divorce, that's all out grounds for warfare imho....:devilwink:
