In generally chronological order:
- Buffalo coming back from a 35-3 defecit to beat Houston 41-38 in the 1992 NFL playoffs.
- Toronto winning their first World Series in 1992 (Timlin to Carter, baby).
- Toronto vs. Philadelphia in the 2001 NBA Eastern Conference semifinals. Toronto lost game seven on a missed buzzer-beater, but it was probably the best NBA playoff series I've seen. Too bad Vince Carter hasn't been that good since then.
- Mike Mussina's near perfect game in 2001 vs. Boston. Wait a minute, this memory didn't have a happy ending either. Oh well. The only team I hated more than New York at the time was Boston, plus I had Mike Mussina on my fantasy team at the time, so following his bid for a perfect game was awesome. Unfortunately, that no-good asshole Carl Everett singled with two strikes and two outs in the ninth. SO CLOSE.
- Arizona beating New York in game 7 of the 2001 World Series.
And, of course...
- The Blue Jays scoring nine runs in the last three innings, including six runs in the ninth, to beat Mike MacDougal (whose downfall I keep predicting) and the Royals 10-9.
Well, maybe that one is just fresh in my memory...
EDIT: DMiller reminded me of Michael Jordan's game-winning <strike>push-off</strike> shot against Utah in the '98 NBA finals. Great moment.
