A thread to post some of those great moments in sport that just give you goosebumbs.

I'm not a big fan of baseball, I watch it when I happen to be bored or something, but it doesn't come close to football. This clip, though, gives even me goosebumbs.

Ah ... remember it well....was back when I still followed Dodger blue semi-religiously.

The year, IIRC, that Orel Hershiser pitched 59 consecutive scoreless innings to end the season. Then came off the bench in the playoffs to get a save, and then another shutout.

I'm too young to remember full seasons of Bob Gibson, but that was the greatest sustained performance by a pitcher I've ever seen.

What I like about Vin Scully's call there, is that for about a full minute after the home run, he didn't say a word. All you heard for that 60 seconds was the the roar of the crowd. I LOVE that.

As for one my goose bump moments:

-Brett Favre's performance against the Raiders in 2003, the day after his dad passed away. Absolutely incredible.
-Al Harris' pick six against the Seahawks.
-Jennings' touchdown in overtime versus Broncos in 2007. First play of overtime, ballgame.

Pssst . . . the word is goosebumps. ;)

Great idea for a thread, though.

Damnit.

Would've been fixed by now if you where still a mod over here and I wouldn't have looked bad.

I never would have brought it up except you've misspelled it so many times that I finally came to realize it wasn't a typo but rather you actually thought that was the spelling.

I submit my sig GIF as a "goosebumb moment."

There exists no documentation of it, but the moment in high school baseball when the ball hit my bat and I knew it was a homerun was THE goosebump sports moment of my life.

Great clip, Rock. First time I've ever seen it.. it's situations like that a competitor DREAMS of having.

As for my goosebump moments.. They all involve hockey. The most recent one was this:

This clip is game 7 of the first round of the playoffs. The Wild started the series off 1-3 and needed to win 3 straight to advance. They magically brought it to game 7 after an OT win in game 6.

I tried to find another video of the Wild's win against the Canucks in the next series after the win against the Avalanche.. But YouTube doesn't have any videos. Basically, their win against the Canucks ended the same way as it did against the Avalanche.. with the Wild down 3-1 in the series and coming back to win 3 in a row. They are the only team to ever do that in the history of the NHL.
