Here is my top ten list. Feel free to agree or disagree.
10) 2006 Rose Bowl - Vince Young leads Texas past the heavily favored USC Trojans in epic fashion to win the National Championship.
9) Lance Armstrong - He won 7 consecutive Tour de France titles after defeating cancer.
8) Michael Jordan wins 6th NBA Championship - Arguably the best player to ever play the game, Michael Jordan, hit one of the most memorable shots in the closing seconds to defeat the Utah Jazz and win his 6th NBA Championship with the Bulls.
7) Boston Winning the 2004 World Series - Overcoming being down 3 games in the ALCS against the Yankees and then going on to win the World Series, ending an 86-year drought.
6) McGwire/Sosa Home Run Race - The race to break the home run record captivated fans for an entire summer and saved the game. It brought back fans to the game after the strike had lost so many fans.
5) Boise St. wins 2007 Fiesta Bowl - After losing an 18 point lead in the 2nd half and falling behind by a touchdown with only a minute left in regulation, a series of trick plays helps Boise St. send the game into overtime and eventually defeat Oklahoma to win the Fiesta Bowl.
4) Bartman. I think that one name is too well known among Cubs fans as it is a moment that will forever live in the hearts of the Cubs' faithful.
3) Tiger Woods wins the 2008 US Open - Playing on only one good leg, Tiger played four rounds of gutsy, agonizing golf to force an 18-hole playoff against Rocco Mediate. Walking with a noticeable limp, Tiger won the championship on the first hole of sudden death.
2) Giants Super Bowl Win - Eli Manning led the Giants to the Super Bowl victory over the Patriots to deny them of their perfect season.
1) 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics - The first Olympic Games held in China that included so many story lines and memorable moments like Phelps record winning gold medal count and Usain Bolt's domination in the 100m and 200m will forever be a memorable Olympics for many reasons.
