I was at a game a couple of years ago and it was the first week of the season. It was april 9th and it was the first sunday night game of the year. They were playing the cardinals and it was very cold. Jaque got his firs hit as a cub which was a three run homerun into center. It either tied the game or brought it real close. Rolen then hit a homerun for the cards and put them up again. Barrett then hit the grand slam and the place went absolutely crazy. It was a good game to be at.

I was at the Cub Cardinal game in St Louis when Neifi hit that grand slam in extra's. That one will always stick with me.

i believe that the pitcher that grace slugged was the cardinals jeff pico.
remember andre dawson taking a called third strike and going ballistic. he threw armfuls of bats onto the field like they were tooth picks. later in the game doug daszenso laid down a bunt and rob dibble threw it at him as he ran down the line.

Was that the five game series where Pujols dropped a ball in the outfield too?
One of my favorite Cubs moments is Neifi Perez getting us into the 1998 playoffs. I went to the last series (In Houston I think?) and I remember sitting around after we lost the last game... and the series and being sad because we didn't get into the playoffs. Then, literally 10-15 minutes later, the scoreboard changed and the Rockies had won. There was maybe 800 people left in the stadium, most of the Cub fans, waiting to see who would win the SF-Col game. The 500 or so Cub fans started cheering and jumping up and down because we had a one game playoff coming.

I was at that game too! The last Cubs game at old Busch stadium I believe. At least the last one I was at. That ball stuck in the netting of the foul pole about 5 inches above the wall.
Not a favorite, and I'll try to find the picture, but I snapped a shot at the exact moment Sosa's corked filled bat exploded against the Rays.
One of my favorites was opening day '96 I believe. It was Sandbergs return, extra inning Grace walk off single

I was at the game as well, only time I've been to St. Louis. I went with my friend who is a diehard Cardinals fan. Oh was that was a fun night.

I remember a game in 2003. I can't even remember who it was against, but the Cubs were down by one going into the bottom of the ninth. Sammy and Alou were due up. Sammy tied the game and Alou won it, each with one swing of the bat.
Another one was a fantastic play made by Ramon Martinez. He was running out into left field to make a play from SS and misjudged the trajectory. He ended up having to swing his glove backwards behind him and make the catch. If not for the fact that it was a misplayed ball, it was probably one of the most impressive defensive plays I can remember.

The last time I had a pleasant feeling towards Fuk: last summer, at the SOITOW game, he cracked one down the RF line for a dinger. From where we were all sitting, it was directly in our line of vision, and we could clearly see the trajectory of the ball.
I remember during the game saying to Ace, "I just want to see 1 Cubbie homer today, that'd make my day," and Fuk came through. Lots of screaming and high fives ensued.
