Post a sporting moment that (still) brings a tear to your eye...

First game after Jose Fernandez died and Dee Gordon of all people hits a leadoff HR. Incredible
I’ve never been a big Tiger fan, but when he won the 2019 Masters I got choked up.
Payne Stewart winning the U.S. Open; not just the moment when his winning putt dropped, but the way he immediately went to Phil and told him that his most important job was coming up: being a dad. That was incredible.

Damn, yes, this one. I was at a bar to watch this, and it was dead silent and everyone was looking at each other with tears in their eyes. Finally a woman yelled, “You fǔcking GOT THIS, Brett!” and everyone started cheering. That was really, really, awesome.
Brings a tear to my eye because:
1. I'm a Packers fan
2. Packers crushed the Vikings
3. I was at the game
4. This diving touchdown secured my Fantasy Football Championship victory where I pocketed $800
5. This game pretty much solidified Jordan Love as the guy for the Packers
6. Packers crushed the Vikings
F*cking A man. I was at a bar, rolling on molly when this happened. One of my favorite sporting moments of all time.

First time I participated in this…and pretty much every time since.
I regularly watch replays of "the steal" when Dave Roberts stole 2nd in the bottom of the 9th, then came home to score the tying run to launch the Sox comeback from down 3-0 to the damn yankmees.
The other that still brings a tear to the eye is watching the replay of Secretariat's Belmont win. Chic Anderson's call of the race is arguably the greatest work ever by a sportscaster.

Brad Marchand crying at 1:04 still brings a huge smile to my face.
I pay very little attention to MLB these days, will peek in on it during last couple weeks of close pennant races and the playoffs but man, back when I was a kid, I knew every stat, every team, every player and I loved the Mets.
From absolute devastation to absolute elation. This was the pinnacle of my baseball fandom.

"Do you believe in miracles"?
You had to be alive at the time to fully get it.

We were there with a big group of us. Their fans started getting cocky as they came back. It was almost sweeter to win this way than blowing them out. We ripped their hearts out and stomped on them. And it kept them from a bowl.
The 1988 home run by Kirk Gibson during Game One was of course magical for us Dodger fans.
The forgotten home run was hit by Mike Scioscia in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Mets in 1988.
The Mets were leading the 2 games to 1 and led game 4 in the top of the ninth 4-2. Davey Johnson left Dwight Gooden to try and finish the game. Well, John Shelby led off the 9th for the Dodgers.
He didn't walk much as he loved to swing the bat. Gooden found a way to walk him. As Mike Scioscia was walking to the plate he says to himself, " he just walked Shelby so he will throw a fastball to try and get ahead of me." Sure enough fastball down the gut and Sciosia hits it out. Kirk Gibson hits a home run in the top of the 12th. Hershiser comes in with two outs bases loaded in the bottom of the 12th to get the last out. It seemed Hershiser was pitching in every game -- he really wasn't.

At the time, I got more choked up about them winning the NL. I certainly wanted the WS win but for some reason I started losing it when they won to go to the WS.
