Game 1 of 1990 world series Reds vs. A's
"Davis stuns Goliath" game.
I was in the last row under the scoreboard...but I was in the building!
From Wikipedia:
Quote:
When Oakland Athletics pitcher Dave Stewart entered to pitch Game 1, he had a six game postseason winning streak going (it ended after four innings of work).
The Reds got out of the gate quickly with a two-run blast (that that nearly hit the CBS television studio where anchor Pat O'Brien was sitting in left-center) from Eric Davis in the bottom of the first inning off A's ace Dave Stewart. Billy Hatcher helped out offensively in a big way by starting his streak of seven straight hits in the series (after a walk in the first inning). Jose Rijo settled in after the early lead and cruised to a surprise Cincinnati victory. The following day, the headline of the Cincinnati Post newspaper captured the city's surprise with the headline, "DAVIS STUNS GOLIATH."

My sister went to game 2 with my dad....I was set to go for game 5. Alas, game 5 was not meant to be.
