Via the Yankees site: Fans to pick games for Yankees DVD. (Hat tip to BTF.)
Me?
I’m voting for:
1976 ALCS Game 5
July 4, 1983 – Dave Righetti’s no-hitter
1995 ALDS, Game 2
2000 World Series, Game 1
2003 ALCS, Game 7
That’s one each for the ’70’s, ’80’s, ’90’s and ’00’s – plus the Boone homer. How about you?

My picks were:
1) 1977 World Series, Game 6
2) 1996 World Series, Game 6
3) May 17,1998 – Boomer’s perfect game
4) 1998 World Series, Game 1
5) 2003 ALCS, Game 7
My reasoning:
1) Reggie’s 3-HR game was one of the coolest WS moments in Fall Classic history.
2) The first WS I’ve ever cried tears of joy for, made sweeter by the fact that my roommate for senior year of college was a guy from Atlanta.
3) As much as I hate Boomer now, the 1998 season was a thrill a minute and this perfect game was fun to watch.
4) The only World Series game I’ve ever been and that game was pandemonium.
5) The last time I felt that kind of pure, unjaded joy as a Yankee fan.
