Between all of us here at the "Stretch" we likely have some amazing memories of games we attended. I'd love to hear your memorable games. The only rule is that you actually attended the game (so unless you were at the 1954 pennant clinching game between the Giants and Dodgers, that doesn't count - likewise the 1988 World Series game with the Gibson homer).
I will post my memorable game or games later...

Here's a depressing memorable moment, but oh so Candlestick...1982, free tickets for making the honor roll at school, Friday night, upper deck, fog rolling over the top of the stadium - only about 7,000 fans in attendance. My dad and I and a friend of his ate lukewarm hot dogs with hot chocolate, bundled up in ski jackets as we watched Dale Murphy and Bob Horner and the Joe Torre Braves go deep against the Giants for an 8-0 win.
It was a horrible loss, but y'know what...I was at the ballpark on a Friday night. And the tickets were free!
Almost the exact same memory as Andy's except - My Dad and I were somewhere above the fog in right field; we were playing the Mets and Dwight Gooden was pitching a three hitter; and you couldn't even see the game through the fog, just hear the crack of the bat and the moans of the crowd and then look down in between gaps in the fog to see the field below. IT WAS GREAT!
