I was at the first professional-level start of 2013 first overall draft pick Mark Appel, a promising young pitcher then in the Astros organization. It was a low-A minor league game. I saved the ticket stub in the hopes that he would develop into a Hall-of-Famer and I could sell it for thousands of dollars someday, but that didn't pan out. He never even made it to the show

This is a great topic, but I don't think I have an answer that would be interesting at all. I was at the park when the Red Sox clinched the division in 2013 on their way to winning the World Series. I think that's it. My brother was at the game where Wade Boggs got his 2000th hit.

Dos a Cero against Mexico to clinch 2014 WC berth in Columbus.

Game 2 of the Bartman series where the Cubs beat the shit out of the Marlins.
