So many great moments for me, but only one will stand as the greatest moment. The National League Championship when Montana connected with Clark for the winning touchdown to defeat Dallas and earn their first trip to the Superbowl.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Number 1 -- Miracle on Ice -- 1980 US Olympic Hockey team beats the Solviet Union's Hockey team

Number 2 -- Pablo you had the right title, but the wrong description.

"The Drive" -- AFC Championship game and John Elway drives the Broncos 98 yards for the tying TD and they win in OT. (BTW I am a die hard Broncos fan and it was hard to choose between this and the Broncos first Superbowl win because that was an amazing game versus the Packers)

Number 3 -- Tiger Woods wins the Masters and becoumes the youngest Masters Champion with record breaking 18-under and wins by 12 strokes

If I did not put "The Drive" down as #2 I think I might have put the Ranger's 1994 Stanley Cup in that slot instead. That was a great series against Vancouver and Messier showed why he is one of the best leaders in hockey.

1st would be the "Immaculate Reception" Franco Harris scooping up the football and running in for the touchdown and the win against the Raiders

2nd would be the "Immaculate Redemption" Bettis fumbling on the 1 yard line against the Colts only to have Ben Rothlisberger tackle and save the day.

3rd would be Mike Vanderjagt choking the field goal attempt a few plays later and everyone's "He missed it" reaction and the Steelers win

obviously I'm a huge Steelers fan so these came to mind

In baseball The Steve Bartman Vs Moises Alou blunder in left field during Game 6 of the NLCS , it will live in infamy

What about Lance Armstrong awesome comeback?! A miracle recovery from cancer just to win the Tour de France seven consecutive times.

"Rumble in the Jungle" Ali vs. Foreman World Heavyweight Championship Fight, Kinshasa, Zaire - Oct. 30, 1974

Hank Aaron (Henry Louis Aaron) - AKA "Hammerin Hank, The Hammer", breaking Babe "Bambino" Ruth all-time home run record.

Among others............................I´ll be back!!!

I was going to mention Lance Storm just because of his dominance in his chosen sport, but its been taken....

USA Hockey team beats the Russians for the gold! Incredible story and victory!

Mj knocking the Cavs out of the playoffs with that classic clutch shot. It was a defining moment for one of the greatest players of his chosen sport of all times.

Ali / Frasier is a good one too....the Ice Bowl was a classic moment.....Auto racing isn't a sport......

I'd have to go with my man Reggie Jackson..."Mr. October"'s classic homer! Something like that just wont be done again. The game of baseball is so tarnished now that it will never be what it used to be! (the Strikes, the scandals, the overblown payrolls.....etc.)
