It can be a single event, a game or a long term (season etc) event. Only rule is you had to experience it. 

Mine, as will surprise no one, is MadBum’s 2014 Post Season. 52 2/3. 28 hits 7 runs 6 walk 45 Ks.

Speaking of Mad Bum, I have to face the possibility that he’s done,  Like Lincecum and Cain, way too early.

He will  go down as the greatest post season pitcher of his era; and one of the greatest of all-time. 
His  WS numbers:  4-0 36 IP. 14 hits. 1 run ( Salvatore Perez HR.  Bum had last laugh) 5 walks 31 Ks.

He pitched in 3 elimination games. CG shutout in ‘14 WC. CG shutout (1-0) in 2016.  And the 5 inning save in game 7. 23 innings 0 runs.


Love to hear yours.

First, great topic.

Second, by "experience" - I take it that does NOT mean witness in-person.  And btw, impressed with Bob's in-person list.

Third, great call by Red80.  I have a vague memory of the play in question, and more generally, pre-injury Darrin Nelson was an athletic wonder.  He had countless amazing plays in a Cardinal uniform, and remains the best player to wear a Cardinal uniform, imo. (Though Elway, Luck, and C-Mac are right there).

Fourth, any all time athletic achievement discussion should include Bo Jackson.  Take your pick.  Mine are (i) game with 2 90+ yard TD runs, and (ii) Royals game where he threw Harold Reynolds, a very fast runner (who was stealing second on the pitch) at home plate from the LF corner.  The throw was an absolute seed from near the outfield corner to home plate.  On the "Bo Knows" 30 for 30, the story goes that Reynolds asked who made the cutoff throw home, and was dumbfounded when the answer was "there wasn't one."  Reynolds then apparently watched the tape of the play 5 times after the game, shaking his head the whole time.  An incredible play, for sure.

Edit: Youtube is cool.

P.S. Agree that Elway to Margerum was incredible athletic feat to witness in person. On the downside of in-person viewing: Chuck Muncie running wild over Stanford; Damon Stoudemire dropping 50+ against Stanford; and the WSU RB who went wild at Stanford stadium in 2H to lead ridiculous comeback win.
