I was just wondering what was your most memorable year in baseball?
Mine would have to be 1998 due to the fact of the Home Run race with Big Mac and Slammin' Sammy and that was when i was startin to take interest in Baseball again, and if they dotn have another dang strike ill be watching it every year like i am this year.

I would definitely have to say that it was 1997, that being the year the Indians came within 2 outs of a world series win in the 7th game of said world series.
(stupid Jose Mesa tyin' up the game and ruining everything. . .)

I would say last year. It was exciting watching the Cubs make it all the way to the NLCS and coming up 1 game sort of going some place they haven't been since 1945

The 1998 Home Run race turned me away. It took away from the teams accomplishments and over emplified the homerun. Now you have college/high school kids on steriods to hit homeruns. To me that season was fake, MLB used it to bring baseball back for all the wrong reasons. They used McGwire and Sosa and made them act like friends so the media would gobble it up, and that pissed me off.
My favorite moments were last year watching the Marlins, now that was awesome baseball, Pierre just doing everything, great pitching, and then a young Beckett winning it in Yankee Stadium in game 7. Can beat that baby.

Last year's playoffs were the greatest. I got to see Smoltz face off against Sosa and Sosa took him to the wall and the Braves won(Kerry Wood was just lights out again in game 7,though). I got to see Pedro Martinez beat up and old man and a fight at Fenway(maybe it was Yankee stadium). And the extra inning thriller with Aaron Boone ending it all. Then Pudge tagged the Giant baserunnr out at home to win. And there was the whole deal about the fan stealing the out from Alou which "made the Cubs lose". And in the end the underdog Marlins won the world series and I got to see the Yankees lose.
What a postseason!

for me it's a tie between 1997 and 2002. 1997 the giants were picked to be nothing and ended up winning the NL West. 2002 the giants were left for dead in july and were on fire in august, september and octover only to lose games 6 and 7 of the WS. hopefully we can go back.  |

1996 and 1998 for my padres. 96 when the padres were up like 10 games on everybody in the west, then had a crappy june and battled with the dodgers for the rest of the year until it came down to the final series where the padres had to sweep the dodgers in LA in order to win the west. They won the first two games. Then it was 0-0 until tony Gywnn's brother Chris got a pinch hit 2 run double to win the game for the padres to win the west. Also that was roid man Ken Camnit's mvp year. We got swept by the Cardinals after Brian Jordan lit us up.
1998 because we went to the world series. Greg Vaungh would had been traded to the yankees the season before was the trade was stopped because he didnt pass the physicall, had a carrer year, along with steve finley and Quvoilo Veras. They ended up beating Randy Johnson(astros). Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine along the way to get to the world series. They could and should have won that first game of the world series after tony Gywnn hit a homerun in his first visit to Yankee stadium, but jorge posada hit the grand slam, and the yankees never looked back.
Now if only they would stop losing to the tamba bay devil rays they could get back to the series this year. ;D
