Ha! That’s great. My memories: Clemens going for 300th, Tigers came back late. Then a WHOLE NOTHER GAME pitched by (IIRC) Steve Sparks, mainly. Then I realized my parents were going to wonder where I was and that I should call to say “uh hey still at that game five hours later.”
Hey, cool. Culling my (paper) book collection, I opened an old differential geometry textbook to find the ticket from the best baseball game I've ever attended. @amber34owlpic.twitter.com/IQMdwSGv7O

Yes. David Wells was the other "starter" (he had been scheduled to skip the start because of a minor injury--to his back, if memory serves). It was hot out. I remember at least one squandered Tigers opportunity. And I did not think to call my parents, but should have!

…eclipsed for me by 2005 NLCS G5. Place was literally shaking with excitement (we were under scoreboard in RF), then just complete silence. Early-ish days for
@LongHallOwl and me, he asked in like the 7th how I knew the batting order without seeing the scoreboard. -
That's great! #2 for me is 2013 ALCS G2: Ortiz grand slam. Sounded like a cannon. Another SRO ticket, but I actually had to stand. Perfect view of the GS. Ecstatic Sox fans hugged me. Of course I was rooting for the other guys. But still, memorable.

And now
@LongHallOwl reminded me of another one that nearly eclipsed it! Second game of 2013 season, Rangers stupidly didn’t give Yu the opening day start.@lonestarball hosted an outing for exiled Rangers fans. Planned to go for 4-5 innings as I was 38 weeks pregnant. (1/2) -
Couldn’t leave a perfect game, so we stayed to the bitter end to see it broken up by 9th-hole hitter (rookie, then, maybe?) Marwin Gonzalez. Went into labor four nights later and had my daughter that weekend. She just turned seven, sigh.
