Top moment: watching Sirr Parker dive across the goal line in overtime to win the Big XII Championship game.
Last night on one of the sports channels - can't remember which- they did a feature on Kirk Gibson's home run in the 1988 World Series. That totally took me back and I was in pieces by the end of it. I remember the intensity and anxiety and the knot in my stomach during his excrutiatingly long time at bat, striking and fouling, and then the sheer joy I felt watching him blow that ball into the stands and limp around the bases. That is one sporting moment that to this day tuns me into one big emotional pile of jelly. For me, it's definitely the greatest sporting moment of all time.
So, fellow Sports Fans...what are your most emotional and/or ecstatic moments as a spectator?

99 when the Spurs won the le.
that summer when they announced Sean's kidney problem
Braves v. Twins. 1991. World Series. Game 7.
This was the year I started to follow baseball. I became a Braves fan in late May or June after watching them on TV and watched every game I could while trying to learn about baseball, its history, its personalities. This was the team, the season and the game which made me a diehard fan of the great game of baseball for the rest of my life.
Spurs v. Knicks. 1999. NBA Finals. Game 5.
What else can you say about this other than my favorite Spur of all-time hitting the game-winning shot.
These are all going to be ones I have observed, not seen after the fact. I know there are more, but I can't think of them right now.
When that Olympic sprinter fell and hurt himself and his dad helped him limp to the finish line... that made me cry.
The Admirals retirement, and .04
That made me want to drink.
And I did.

1.Every Spurs Championship......
2. Sean's jersey retirement
3. .04
4.......... 2 words..... BILLY BUCKNER

2 The comebacker to Keith Foulke and the throw to Doug Mientkiewicz to clinch the le for the 2004 WORLD CHAMPION BOSTON RED SOX!!!!
Thanks to my Dad I have been programmed to not like the Braves. I was a teenager in the 80s and we were all enjoying a Braves v. someone else game, and we were routing for the Braves, when the camera rested on Jane Fonda wearing a Braves cap and enthusiastically routing for the team. I think they even interviewed her. My Dad, a Viet Nam vet, freaked out at the thought of he and Jane Fonda being on the same side of anything. He went ballistic and from that moment, none of us dared show support for the Braves again.

I cried during when the Blue Jays won the world series, but that was because my brother had bounced my head off of a door knob in an unrelated rough housing incident.
Spurs vs Nets 2003 NBA Finals Game 6
Seeing David's last game ever in a Spurs uniform and winning the championship...man, what an emotional night!
Spurs @ Lakers, Novemer 6, 2003
Manu scoring 33 points and taking the arch nemisis to double OT without Tim & Tony. Just seeing the first taste of what was to come of Manu Ginobili was incredibly thrilling and brought happy tears to my eyes, even thought we didn't pull out the W.
Spurs vs Lakers, May 13, 2004 NBA WCSF Game 5
Come on, who didn't cry this game??
Spurs @ Rockets, December 9, 2004
Tmac's 13 points in 33 seconds...yeah that hurt big time, even if it was just a regular season game.
Damn, I'm a crybaby!
George Foreman knocking out Michael Moorer at age 46.
1994 - Ayrton Senna dies at Imola Circuit
Senna was one of my early sport heroes. He was amazing driver, very talented, his death was something that shouldn't have happened.
1986 - Argentina wins the Soccer World Cup, lead by Maradona
This one is hard to explain to anyone who isn't Argentinian, but this is like our Yorktown or landing at Normandy (for the cultural impact on our society, nobody died, of course).
2004 - Argentina wins gold
Not only Argentina beat the U.S., also Serbia with a last second shot, organizers Greece, and won the gold, while Manu was MVP of the tournament. The soccer squad won the gold too, 52 years after the country's last gold.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those three come to my mind right now, I can think of more.
1999 Spurs Championship.
The death of Dale Earnhardt.
2003 Spurs Championship (last year for Mr. Robinson).
When Dan Marino left the Dolphins.

That made it even more sweeeet!
I don't know if anyone remembers this, but Dan Jansenns (sp?) gold medal was quite a tear jerker.
The trophy ceremony when David and Duncan arm around each other holding trophys aloft.
That was a teary eyed moment.
Also the Cardinals going to the world series last year when Womack threw Vizcaino out at first, THAT was another moment.
Jack Nicklaus' Masters win in 86
Payne Stewart's first Major win
David Robinson's number retirement when Malik was talking.
I've never cried about sports, but .4 was very painful.
