i was 7 and in the house for this divisional playoff game between the Cowboys & Rams on Dec. 30, 1979. my lasting memory is Roger Staubach's final pass completion of his career...........to offensive lineman Herbert Scott (4:40)
the NFL is being a punk again, so you'll have to click on the youtube link to see it

I've been lucky enough to be at a couple pretty significant events ...

My dad and I had seats about 15-20 rows up in the left field bleachers directly behind where this hit landed in the outfield.
(Starting @ 4:01) Mariano who?
I was at the inaugural Woodrow Wilson Pace at the Meadowlands in 1977
I didn't bet the winner.
For the horse players here, most notable was Falcon Almahurst didn't make the finals and won the $25,000 consolation race.
Didn't realize we had any fellow harness followers here. Don't have video but back in 1978, myself and two college buddies took a trip out to western PA and went to the Hambletonian. Don't remember much other than the trip with two very good friends. As our paths drifted, I no longer had people to go with, so the interest in the "trotters" dwindled. Couple that with the fact that the local tracks around Philly closed so there was nothing close.
@Hallco is another. I dabble, going to Turf Paradise or watching at the OTB on occasion, but can't say I'm a regular follower.
I made it to the meadows near Pittsburgh a couple times. We had an interest in a trotter and were lucky to see him win on one of the two visits.
Was a huge fan from the high school years when my poker buddies decided that we needed to be where the big money was
.
Went twice a week for about 5 years and then interest dwindled. I have a quarter horse track in town that is open about 12 days a year. In fact It is about now when they are live.
I was the shoe
Is this Turf Paradise?
First turn seats at the 1981 Indy 500.
Took many months for the winner to be declared.
Went to the game in 1980 in Lake Placid. Will always remember it!!!

very long story relatively short, in the spring of '98 a fanatical Cards buddy of mine put together a trip to STL with two other friends from college. as everyone knows, all hell broke looks that summer. as dumb luck had it, our 4-game set coincided almost perfectly with history. our last game was this one, when Big Mac tied Maris. we seriously contemplated staying another day (we knew there was an above-average chance of seeing #62), but we all had to get back for work. we had primo seats (a few rows up on the 1st base side, catty-corner from the Cards dugout), and i'll never forget a scalper in the hotel lobby offering me $1,500 for my ticket the morning of the game. i wasn't far removed from college, so that was really a tidy sum of cheddar in my world. but honestly that figure didn't even faze me, because there was no way i was missing this game. it was a surreal experience.
