Subject: BS: Sporting events/records you've witnessed
I was listening to a discussion about baseball and steroids this morning on NPR. I'm not one for watching organized sports – and I started thinking about some of the games I've seen in person. I've never seen any of the big records broken in person. The only memorable event I witnessed was the day that – instead of catching the ball - Jose Canseco bounced it off the top of his head and into the stands. Not exactly one for the record books but an amusing event to say the least. I had a friend who took a dozen kids to a baseball game for a charity event and it turned out to be Nolan Ryan's last no hitter. When I asked her if she had saved her ticket stubs as a memento she got a blank look on her face. No – she hadn't even thought of it.I can't remember why I didn't go but I was supposed to be with her that day.

Have you seen any records broken or memorable events at any of the sporting events you've attended in person?
