The Cal v. Stanford play, easily

I'll go with Carlton Fisk homerun in the 75 WS

Overrated as frick. Those cocksuckers didn't even win the series.

nah Kige. I hate Duke but that shot was HUGE.

1st, your opinion doesn't count if it happened to your team IMO


I go with "the ball gets by Buckner"

Stanley/schiraldi had already blown that game

and Im a Mets fan

It's not fully overrated in the whole scheme of things, but Paul Pierce in the playoffs a couple years back when he had to be "wheelchaired" off the court, yet he somehow comes back to play like nothing ever happened.

I love Pierce, but it was lame.

followed closely by the night Cal set the record for games played.

How is setting a record overrated?

Jeter catching the ball in foul territory then diving into the stands. MLB network listed it in the top 9 catches of all time on their Prime 9 show. Seriously?

Buckner received WAAAAY too much criticism over the years from morons.

+1000.

As for the '75 Carlton Fisk game, it is considered epic because of the circumstances. Remember, no cable tv then, much of the nation was watching the game. Boston had a pinch hit, game tying HR in the 8th inning from a nobody. At one point, Cincinnati threw out the game winning run at the plate from left field. It was an epic battle, that had a dramatic finish.

But yes, the Red Sox didn't even win Game 7.
