Greatest moment - the poll

This is my “All F-ing” Team.
That is, as a Red Sox fan, the Yankees that made me drop the most F-Bombs

Obviously Mr. Dent and Mr. Boone are on the team.

Read it here.

Great ceremony… even this Red Sox fan and classic Yankee hater thought it was great.

Look, I know Lou Gehrig is going to run away with it…
And Reggie, Larsen, Maris, Ruth et al are solid choices

And as a Red Sox fan, I still haven’t changed Aaron Boone’s middle name

But I have a hard time equating the stadium that I went to so many times when I lived in NYC with the stadium that Ruth, DiMaggio et al played in.

It was redesigned, reconfigured and the field was lower and it just looked different.

But Chambliss’s homer Christened it as a place where great moments will happen and October heroics will be common place.

I guess Reggie’s homers kind of did the same in terms of cementing a World Series title… but you needed the drama of Chambliss followed by the Reds clubbing them in 4 to start the chain reaction that led to Reggie coming.

Just my thoughts from a kindly Red Sox fan

I would include the game where Bobby Murcer won it after Thurman Munson’s funeral.

The Red Sox fan that I am, I remember crying when Munson died.
Of course I didn’t like him… he was a Yankee.

But the 7 year old Sully that I was cried because it didn’t seem right.
I didn’t want him or anyone to die… I thought it was going to be Fisk, Yaz, Lynn, Remy, Burleson, Rice, Evans, and Hobson on one side with Reggie, Randolph, Piniella, Nettles, Lyle, Chambliss, White and Munson on the other.

When my dad told me, and I think he was surprised that I cried, I asked “Will they bury him in Cooperstown?”

I’m not sure why I thought that was important

But Murcer getting that hit deserves at least a mention

I try to be as respectful as possible and I was moved by the ceremony the other night.

I wrote about it here.

But I also think Red Sox fans and Yankee fans should be friends…
Rivals and jabbing and taunting, but friends.

I explain why here

but Don Mattingly’s first (and only) postseason home run in Game 2 of the 1995 ALDS should be on this list.

if you’re talking about the loudest moments in Yankee Stadium history, there’s no way that would fall out of the top three. the place was shaking. i know the Yankees didn’t win it until the following season, but it almost feels like that homer marked the end of the playoff droughout (and struggles of the 80’s/early 90’s Yanks) and beginning of a new era.

and thanks for the kind words Sully. hopefully when the time comes Fenway, and eventually Wrigley, get proper send-offs as well.

Putting Boone in the same sentence with Gehrig, Ruth and Larsen seems to show a true lack of perspective.

At least the Gehrig speech is well appreciated. I actually support Larsen and then Ruth because I prefer on field accomplishments. Just my feeling.

Ruth’s homer rampages changed the game forever.

Larsen’s perfect game was, and still is, an unequalled achievement.

perfect games, Righetti’s no-hitter, Guidry’s 18 K game, Game 1 of the 96 ALCS, Game 1 of the 99 ALCS, Game 1 of the 2000 Subway Series, July 1, 2004 (Jeter’s Dive), but i just didnt think they stood a chance against the ones already listed. but there could’ve easily been 20 choices.

if you’re going to pick a perfect game/no-hitter/great pitched game, how could it not be Larsen’s as the clear winner?

those aforementioned playoff games were certainly great, but several were just better. and although the July 1st game is one of the greatest (regular season) games ever, it doesn’t matchup to a great playoff game.

All of the above
