Is it any wonder that that specialty would seep into the postseason: the first extended postseason. We had the record broken for the longest 0-1 postseason game twice. One of those games featured Seattle, who finally made their first postseason appearance in over two decades. Then to cap off the season, the WS had the most perfect game to ever be called by an umpire, JV’s first WS win, and a no-hitter! All resulting in Dusty Baker getting that ever elusive ring he’s been desperately striving to get.
M’s playoff drought ending was top 10

3-2 count, 2 outs, and a moonshot at home to end the longest playoff drought in American sports. The things dreams are made out of.
What an amazing season. This might be one, if not, THE most memorable one ever. With so many milestones crossed, so many legends hitting or doing THE most clutch hits/home runs/strikeouts/defensive plays, it's hard to argue that.
Look at the mariners man.. so inspirational

Harper's go-ahead HR is great but no way it beats Yordan's WS blast. It was an electric, 3 run, 450ft, go-ahead home run to win the World Series. On top of that, no stadium beats the Juicebox's atmosphere or volume in big momemts like that.
#4 will always be my favorite of all time. I was at that game and it was just unbelievable.
The Grissom bay flip was crazy
PUJOLS!!! My favourite all time player. Fitting that 700 is number 1.
No 7th inning comeback to knock the dodgers out of the playoffs? Only the most important moment in Padres history. MLB as always hates the Padres
So blessed I was at The Stadium when Judge hit #60. Many people missed it cuz they left early. Thats why you stay till the end. What a game. Best sporting event I've ever been to.

Imagine making the NLCS, and not registering a single "iconic" moment for the entire season. Like- for example- the, (apparently under-rated), moment of defeating a 111-game-winning team by 3 games to 1 in the NLDS, after losing every series against them in the regular season). Also: how is Judge's outfield catch rated higher than Eli White's? Answer: NYY.

If this doesn't get you hyped for spring training, nothing will.
The Summer of Pujols was friggen baseball magic!!! Wasnt doing much for a while and then start clobbering homers left and right to reach 700! He had the country eating out of the palm of his hands.

Because everyone and their mother expected the Astros to win. Nothing was expected of the Phillies, and that swing was the culmination of a decade of frustration and a dramatic regular season and postseason. On top of that, the individual game differences are notable. The Astros were at home in game 6 with their pitching lined up such that they should have had zero trouble closing the Phils out, and the Phils were already demoralized by games 4 and 5 which tore the hearts out our chests. If the Astros had found a way to lose the series after that, that would have been up there with some of the worst choke jobs in MLB history. On the other hand, the Phillies were at home in game 5, but if they lost that game, the Padres had their pitching lined up for games 6 and 7 at home. The Phillies had been basically unbeatable at home that postseason, and the Padres fans were just as hungry as Philly fans to win a pennant. In the top of the 8th, many fans of the Phillies (myself included) were very mad that the umpires allowed the game to continue during a torrential downpour that caused the normally accurate Seranthony Dominguez to throw wild pitch after wild pitch, which directly led to the Padres tying, then taking the lead. It felt like the start of a massive collapse. Next, let's talk about Harper. The guy has been called overrated for years now. Even his 2021 MVP award wasn't enough. The haters moved on to "he's a loser" because the Nationals won the WS the year after he left. That is a blemish on his resume that will be hard to shake, which is so, so unfair to him because honestly the Nationals choke jobs when he was there were really not his fault. This all builds up to the moment when Harper has one of the all time greatest at bats against Robert Suarez, fouling off 98 off the plate, and taking a straight-up nasty change up 3 inches below the zone. He got just one pitch to hit, and he didn't miss it. In a fraction of a second, the mood of all Philly fans went from "Oh my gosh, we're going to lose the series because the umps wouldn't stop the game" to jubilation. It was the perfect climax the Phillies (and Harper's) underdog story arc, even if they couldn't quite close the deal in the WS. That is why Harper's home run was higher on the list.
