If I had to rank my favorite moments... 1) Mets beat John Rocker in the '99 NLCS (was that game 5?) 2) 2000 World Series game 3 (only one I went to) 3) Darryl knocking that light bulb out. Stuck with me forever, as I was 5 years old. 4) Benny's walkoff. 5) Beltran's walkoff homer in the 16th against the Phils. That was a great one.

Without a good story, baseball would be just a bat and ball game you played until you were 15, not a heartbreaking and breathtaking game of failure and redemption. Exactly!

Extra Inning game. Benny Agbayani was tearing the cover off the ball all day long, without a hit. He steps to the plate, and I lean to my dad and say, "Benny is due the way he's been hitting the ball. He's gonna hit one out right now and end this game." Sure enough, he blasts it left centerfield and we all go ballistic. It's the first and only time I can claim actually calling a home run, and a walk off no less. Oh, and my buddy who came to the game with us left the park an inning earlier cause he was late for a meeting downtown. Too bad, Pete. My all time Shea moment:
