Maybe not the greatest – perhaps just your favorite! Mine was watching Brett's final home game. The whole night was surreal, hopeful, sad, and by the end… one last sprinkle of magic dust.

  1. BWJ’s walk-off grand slam. Baseball may never top that feeling for me, it was so magical.

  2. I was a season ticket holder from ’99-’03.

    So, I don’t really have an answer for this.

  5. One of the Angels ALDS games at Kauffman. Nothing else really comes close but I was at Fenway when Bobby hit a home run over the Green Monster which is pretty cool

  8. Saw Brett’s final game in Fenway, 9/5/93. He hadn’t announced his retirement but everyone knew it was coming. Hit a double in the 8th and was given a standing O. Grounded out in the 9th and he still ran hard. Tom Gordon beat Roger Clemens. It is still my only game at Fenway. Magical.

  10. George Brett’s final game at Kauffman.

    This doesnt exactly count, but I also saw Bo Jackson at Arrowhead for his first game there as a Raider. I seem to remember a bunch of fans “jokingly” throwing baseballs onto the field when he ran out.

  11. Not baseball, but I was at the pay per view at Kemper Arena when Owen Hart passed away😣☹️

  14. I was at the longest game in Royals history back in 1991. Royals vs Rangers with legendary pitching matchup: Saberhagen vs Nolan Ryan. I think we left at the 14th inning because it was just too long for us kids (mostly my sisters) to handle. I remember hearing the game ending on the radio at home with the Royals winning.

  15. WILD CARD BITCHES. I went to some other playoff games in both WS runs but that wild card game stands out. I was there with my mom who was in KC for the 85 WS and it was a tear-filled sort of passing of the playoff torch between generations of Royals fans.

  17. seeing Greinke strike out 15 batters in a game or Gordon hitting the home run in the WS kind of nice that one was a big individual accomplishment and one team one

  18. 1993 George Brett’s last game

    1995 Kevin Appier 3-hitter vs the Angels

    1997 Glendon Rusch retiring 19 straight batters

    1997 Bip Roberts 15 minute at bat with 14 foul balls and 9 pickoff attempts

    1998 Mike Sweeny’s first opening day game

    2002 Raul Ibanez walk off home run vs Cardinals

    ***insert becoming adult and not having any money for years***

    2014 Wild Card game

    2014 ALDS Game 3

    2014 WS Game 2

    2015 ALCS Game 2

    2015 WS Game 1

  19. Pick one:

    1. My very first Royals game, I was all of 6 years old. I had to look it up to get the date right. 9/6/92, George Brett hits an Inside the Park Home Run. It’s not really historic in a team sense, but man, he’s literally on his last legs at this point in his career. Or,

    2. [This Moose play](https://youtu.be/gwCrdU34Vk4?si=aqWTnkUO6ZnjPyhz). I’ll admit, though, that even though the play happened directly in front of me, I couldn’t see it because I was 2 rows from the top of Kauffman.

  20. Was at game 1 of the 2015 WS. Esky’s leadoff in the park homer and Alex’s bottom of the 9th game tying shot were both iconic, but I was also at Game 6 of the ALCS that year, and I think that tops it.

    Tie ballgame, Wade comes out for a 2 inning save, and then the rain began to fall. Waited for over an hour, wondered if Wade would come back out to pitch after a lengthy delay. Game finally resumes and LoCain scores from first to take the lead back, which sent the K into a frenzy. Then in the top of the 9th Wade comes back out, but allows runners to reach 2nd & 3rd before slamming the door, with the MVP Josh Donaldson being the final out. Went to 2 WS games and won both between ‘14 & ‘15, but this one takes the cake in my opinion, and is my personal favorite game I’ve ever been to.

  21. In no way the greatest, but I saw Bo Jackson beat out a routine ground ball on the infield, and it wasn’t even close. Not historical, but as a 16 year old kid sitting behind first base, this was amazing!!

  27. Since Brett’s last game was mentioned, I’ll go with Jim Colburn’s no hitter in 1977, Nolan Ryan’s no hitter against us in May, 1973, and Brett going over .400 on a very hot Sunday afternoon in 1980. Was fortunate to be at all 3 of those games.

  28. Gordon’s Homerun in the World Series…the most important homerun in Royals history. I put it up there with Dane Iorg’s hit too because in 2015 the Royals could have easily been tied 1-1 in the series and playing their next three games in New York, and if Familia gets out of that inning in game one he might have the confidence to not blow games 4 and 5. Who knows how the series could have gone without Gordon’s HR

  31. 8/17/1980 4 for 4 bringing average to .401. I can still see the old crown vision showing the stat in those yellow bulbs and likeness of George Brett face.

  32. Billy Butler stealing a base in game 3 against the Angels in 2014. I’ve never high-fived so many drunk men in their 30s before.

  33. 1. Game 7 ’85
    2. Wildcard game ’14
    3. Opening Day ’04*
    4. George Brett’s HOF induction 7/25/99

    *May have been the emotional “high point” for the franchise post ’94 strike until 2013. Coming off of the one successful 83-79 season we’d had (or will have had) for a while. We were down 7-2 on Opening Day to the ChiSox – Mendy Lopez PH HR tied it in the ninth and Beltran won it in a Walk Off. It was all downhill from there for the next 9 years.

  34. My friend (Astros fan) won tickets to the 2015 game 4 ALDS and took me, diehard Royals fan. Needless to say, that game did not go the way the home crowd wanted. Greatest game I’ve ever seen in person.

  35. I was at the White Sox-Royals game when the drunk white trash father and son ran on the field and attacked first base coach Tom Gamboa. That was a wild night—full moon and craziness in the air out in the bleachers on the Southside!
