Even though I was only 13 when I watched that

that has to be, along with the Dbacks beating the Yankees in the WS, my favorite moment ever in watching baseball.

There are a lot of people who bash Lewin...

but come on… he makes a fantastic call there.

Wow.

I don’t remember when I was when I saw this but I was going nuts. Lewin’s call is great.

I was in my apartment in San Marcos and went absolutely nuts.

My roommates (who are/were huge Astros fans) were even jumping up and down with me. It was one of the best moments of my baseball watching life. I’ll never forget it.

I was in the car with my family and i turned it on and I remember screaming and going crazy.

The car next to us thought I was completely nuts. I never got to hear Lewin’s call that is amazing. I hope we get the same feeling next year.

Single greatest moment of my Ranger watching life

Still have the newspaper from that game, that season was badass.

I was home sick from work..sitting on the floor in front of my tv when this happened. I jumped up smacked my hand into the ceiling fan then fell backwards racked myself…I almost cried from joy….it was the first time as a Rangers fan I actually thought…this is the year…this is the fucking year.

Kind of sad

that the greatest moment for a lot of Ranger Fans was in a year that the Rangers stayed home for the playoffs. Just goes to show how long its been since this franchise was successful in the late 90s.

I was shaking with nervousness during that at bat, i remember it..

pretty much praying when he got down 0-2. Called quite a few people after it. Ah, the highlight of the last decade.

If only it had worked out that year.. or any year…

the preceding post was a great success.

I broke a brand new pair of flip-flops running around my apartment

as I turned a corner, the strap broke, sending my foot out from underneath and my face into the wall. But I was too happy care,

After which, binge drinking cleared away the memory of the rest of the night

You can see me

jumping up and down on the first row of the third base side.

I walked in to the Rockfish restaurant in Irving about a half hour after the end of the game and the waiter said, “hey were you just at the Ranger game?” I was like “Yeah, how’d you know?” He said “I saw you on tv jumping up and down going crazy after the Rangers scored that last run”
