I have two. First, the Brian Johnson game. Sat in the upper deck in left, got on the Jumbotron in the 10th dancing like an idiot. Easily the loudest I ever heard the Stick in person.

Second, Giants 16, Angels 4. I walked out of the Bell thinking we were gonna be world champs.

My favorite game I've been to recently was the one last year at the Coliseum when Marco Scutaro hit the foul pole to walk off on Mariano Rivera.

(yes, I'm a... fan of both teams!!!!)

If you haven't banned me yet, then I'll say that my favorite Giants game was back in the (presumably) late 80s, when Tommy Herr, at the time a Philly and former All-Star, hit a foul ball right into my dad's hands at Candlestick. I later got the ball autographed, and had a shrine next to his All-Star baseball card. He soon became a Giant, so that was awesome!

The best Giants game I went to was the first Giants (and major league) game I went to after spending the first part of my life in Albuquerque, NM, home of the Dukes (now the Isotopes)

August 26, 2005.

The WBC semi final game where Japan defeated Korea. I was about 20 rows behind the first base dugout for the three games of the semis and finals. All three games were outstanding, but that game where Japan beat Korea after they lost twice to Korea in the tournament, was amazing. Uehara Koji pitched for Japan in that game. He's pretty good.

The electricity in the stadium was unlike anything I've ever felt. Fans for both teams were loud. Synronized cheers. Flags everywhere. It rained that night and there was an hour long delay, but nobody went anywhere.

Now that the first round venues for the 2009 event have been announced, I'm making plans. I'm leaning towards pool play in Puerto Rico. Tokyo, Toronto, and Mexico City are the other cities hosting first round play. I just have to go to this event every time it's held. There's nothing like it out there. 2006's event was the best time of my life.

June 6, 2006 sticks out in my mind. Schmidtty strikes out 16 Marlins, including 3 in the 9th with the tying run at 3B.

I was at that Dravecky game, which was pretty damn great, but I'm going to have to take a game from later that fall -- Game 5 of the 1989 NLCS. Big Daddy at his craftiest, The Thrill at his clutchest, Bedrock at his shakiest, and an NL pennant as a happy ending. Even 2 hours getting out of the auxiliary parking lot at the Stick couldn't ruin a great day at the yard.

May 24, 2000 - The Giants defeat the Expos‚ 18-0‚ as pitcher Shawn Estes hits one grand slam and narrowly misses another as he collects 5 RBIs. The game is the Giants largest shutout win in modern times breaking their previous record‚ 16-0‚ set on July 3‚ 1949‚ against the Dodgers; the previous SF record was 14-0‚ against the Reds‚ on August 23‚ 1961. Their all-time record is a 24-0 win against the Buffalo Bisons‚ on May 27‚ 1885. On the other side‚ the game was also the worst shutout loss in Expos history‚ breaking the record of 16-0‚ set against the Cardinals‚ on August 11‚ 1980.

I was fortunate enough to be at this game.

Lowry pitches his first complete game shut out. Bonds hits two home runs, the second of which was part of back-to-back-to-back homers by Snow, Bonds, and Feliz. So awesome.

I found the box score for the game I mentioned:

It's odd to see it all laid out like that when it's always been a sort of mythic memory from my childhood. And actually, Dravecky didn't do quite as well as I remembered - he gave up 3 runs in 8 innings, not 1. Only 5 baserunners, though. And Will Clark hit a double - I was a huge, huge Will Clark fan, so I'm sure that was really exciting at the time, too.

Bonds hits a walk-off off Hoffman on my birthday at the Stick. I still have this game on tape. I also got my 'Krukow is God" sign on TV.

Oh, and one more thing from my game -

When we were driving to the park from the East Bay, we had KNBR on, and instead of the regular pre-game show, they were doing a fundraiser for cancer research. People would call in and pledge to donate a certain amount of money if certain things happened in the game. Like, if Kevin Mitchell hits a home run, they'll donate $20. If Dravecky strikes out five, they'll donate $50. That sort of thing. Well, at the time, Pete Rose was still managing the Reds, and someone called in and said that if Rose was ejected, they'd donate $100. As I said, I was nine, and $100 seemed like an impossibly huge amount of money at the time.

And guess what? Yeah, Rose came out, argued a call, and got his ass tossed from the game. Looking at the dates, it was just two weeks later that he got kicked out of baseball for good.

Game Played on Thursday, August 21, 2003 (N) at Pacific Bell Park

ATL N 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 - 3 6 1
SF N 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 4 8 1

With Bobby Bonds on his deathbed, Barry had hit a 10th inning HR against the Braves in the first game of the series. Two nights later, I went to the game and saw

San Francisco Giants IP H R ER BB SO HR
Schmidt 8 3 0 0 1 7 0

only to have Worrell blow the 3-0 lead in the 9th (further affirming the Ortiz rule: NEVER EVER take out a pitcher who's throwing a shutout). 40K people were miserable for about 20 minutes. Then Bonds comes up in the 10th and DOES EXACTLY WHAT HE DID TWO DAYS AGO

HR: Bonds (39,10th inning off Hodges 0 on 1 out).

and as he trotted down the 3rd base line you could see the tears welling in his eyes. I've been to better games but few as instantly memorable.

But not the exact game. It was a game against Pittsburgh or Philladelphia maybe....That's how I remember it a bit. My dad got some tickets just 7-8 rows above the bullpen along the left field line. Late in the innings, don't think it was a walk off but it won the game in the end, Pedro Feliz hit a home run down the left field line. Any ideas on the game? Would have been within the last few years of course since it's Feliz. I'm pretty sure I hated him at the time so it was probably while he was a starter even.

I went to Timmeh's first game. He lost, but I'm glad to say I was there.

I went to Bonds 715 against Colorado but the giants still lost. I also went last year to ray Durhams 8th in 3 run homer to beat the Dodgers. It was even sweeter cuz I was sitting to my now ex g/f who is a Dodger fan

Unfortunately mine went against the Giants. Kevin Brown (Marlins) threw a no-hitter against us (6/10/97). Would have been a perfect game except he hit Marvin Bernard with a pitch in the 8th (by that point with the Giants down big, everyone was rooting for Brown). VanLandingham took a no-hitter into the 7th (at which point he was still losing 1-0....some things about Giants baseball just don't change) before losing it completely, and the bullpen didn't do much better when they came in.

This game was also memorable for me since it was my last at Candlestick, I moved away shortly after that and came back a few years later to PacBell.
