    Not familiar with all of them, but of course the one with Buckner is a classic.

    1969 Orioles up 1 game then losing 4 straight to the offer looked upon "lowley" Mets, was one I remember quite well.

    2016 was the worst for me, up 3-1 on the Cubs and lost.

    I think the Joe Carter walkoff in ‘93 was rather painful for Mitch Williams.

    A gembryo is the early developmental stage of a perfect card.

    Yankees 2001 should be 1. That was the one year basically everyone was rooting for them

    Oh. Yeah. Then there was(n’t) 1994.

    Mookie Wilson, David Freese, Lance Berkman, Jorge Orta...

    Kirk Gibson, the Ozzie Smith go crazy folks homerun, and on and on and on throughout baseball history...

    All had 2 strikes on them before putting the ball in play.

    And somehow, the "strikeouts don't matter" mantra is ingrained in the minds of morons that think they're baseball experts.

    I remember being in near tears in 1986 when the Sox lost that game

    How about 1968... Detroit made an incredible comeback to beat the Cardinals.

    How about 1967... Boston looses in 7 to the Cardinals

    How about 1945... The Cubs loose in seven to Detroit. And I mention this because it was the last time the Cubs were in post season play for decades as were the Tigers as i

    And I suspect the NYY fans might have something to say about the 1955 World Series loss to Brooklyn. Johnny Podres pitched a terrific game 7. And 1955 was the arguably one of the best WS and perhaps I am writing that because the NYY lost.

    How about 1960? Who thought the Pirates had a snowball's chance in ---- in winning and they did.

    I will stop now- but in all fairness, I see your top 10 needs some significant revisions.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
