Easy choice for me...

Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, Joe Carter, game winning walk off homerun :)

My parents were actually at that game...I was sitting at home watching and I was 10 years old :p

1998 NBA Finals Game 6, for obvious reasons :)

2003 NFC Title game, because of the Eagles owning us in the past. Right when I saw that kickoff return and rushing TD in the first minute of the game I was like "Ugh, here we go again!" then Joe Jurevicius comes up with a HUGE play, 70 yard catch and run. After that, everything went out way :D

Although we later lost to the Titans,this game was easily the best I've ever witnessed.

Tommy Maddox, the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year, led one of Pittsburgh's greatest comebacks by throwing three touchdown passes in the final 19 minutes as the Steelers rallied from a 17-point deficit to stun the Browns 36-33 Sunday in an AFC wild-card game.

I remember being so dissapointed in how we were getting stomped,and then they had like a camera around Maddox coming out of the tunnel and they huddled up and told the team "If you don't believe we can win this game,then just go back in the locker room" or something to that effect,I was quite pumped up to say the least :D

Lakers/Blazers 2000 Western Conference Finals.

LA down by 15 in the 4th after choking the series to a game 7. It was looking really bad and all my Laker-hating buddies had already started blowing up my phone and talkin' smack :lol

Whan an amazing comeback :D

It's not a comeback... it's called PORTLAND-CHOKAGE-IT'S-BECAUSE-OF-US-WHY-LAKERS-WON-THREE-TITLES-INSTEAD-OF-TWO-MAX

'The Fish that saved LA' (2004 Western Semifinals). I've seriously never seen a greater heartstopper in all my years of watching NBA ball.
 
Kentucky vs. LSU - College Basketball
- Tuesday, February 15 1994 -

Down 68-37 in the second half... Power had been out at my house in Glasgow, KY for two weeks as the state had been thwomped by an ice storm... Listening to the Cats on the radio starting a run in the second half, power (and ESPN) comes back on just in time for Walter McCarty to sink a 3 in the corner to put us up...

Final Score 99-95...
Maybe the win didn't mean a lot, but it goes down as one of the more remarkable sports moments I've ever seen (if only mostly through Caywood Ledford's voice on the radio)...

I'm guessing that was directed towards me, and I'd just like to let you know that we would've won again this year if we hadn't done FSU a favor and taken Rix out of the game.

Any one of the Laker's "Miracles" qualify. Coming back from 15 in the fourth against the Blazers, 0.4, or Horry's shot against the Kings. After seeing moments like that, I really started to believe the Lakers could come back from anything. Never in my lifetime saw a team pull off so many crazy moments as the threepeat Lakers.

The Steelers-Browns game was pretty great as well. It was nice to go from being so low to so high in such a short amount of time. The Music City Miracle and the Duke shot were pretty much beyond belief when you first see them, but they didn't mean as much to me because I never liked those teams.

Super Bowl XXIII

'The Drive' comeback against the Bengals by the 49ers. I was a big 49er fan and my dad's side of the family were all from Ohio and huge Bengal fans. We were all there together watching it and I rubbed it in to everyone. Ahh bragging rights! I still remember the neighbor across the street going nuts, jumping up and down on his car after John Taylor Caught the TD pass, then they started spray painting the car with GO NINERS and SUPER BOWL. Later we found out the car ended up in some ditch that night totally trashed.

Hockey: Vancouver's 2OT game seven win against Calgary in 1994. It's one thing to win a series on a flukey goal or one that would not have made it in the first period. It's another to see your best player march in on a breakaway to seal the deal.

Not a victory (well, the Flyers won the game, but), but I saw Ron Hextall score his goal at the Spectrum in 1987.

Greatest goaltender evar. I don't care what you say.
 
As far as games I have been to:

Lakers Vs Spurs 1995 game 1

This was before the Kobe/Shaq era. I remember the playoff atmosphere as I was walking in. The first time I had ever gone to a game that was that important. The most memorable(and funny) moment was when a foul was called on Vlade Divac and he got pissed and charged the ref. Dennis Rodman grabs him to restrain him and the refs give Rodman a Tech. The crowd (including my parents) start yelling "Bullshit!!! Bullshit!!!'. Good Times

Nebraska Vs Texas A&M 1998,
Nebraska hadn't lost for almost 2 years and virtually no one gave the Aggies a chance. We took a 28-7 lead into the 4th but Nebraska came back and made it 28-21. They were driving with about 2 minutes to go when A&M intercepted to win the game.

Also
Texas Vs Texas A&M 1999

This was right after Bonfire fell so it was a pretty emotional atmosphere. Aggies were up 20-16 with less then a minute to go w/ tu at mid field. I had just thought "Oh shit, this is going to come down to a hail mary" A&M then sacks chris simms and he fumbles and we recover. Great game.

As far as games that I have seen on tv:

Games 6 1986 World Series(Sorry Sox fans)
1998 Big 12 Championship
2002 OU Vs Texas A&M
1999 Game 5 NBA Finals(Spurs win 1st title)
2003 Game 6 Spurs Vs Lakers. Seeing the Spurs dominate the 4th quarter in that game was wonderful.
2003 Game 6 NBA Finals(I was actually in NY at the time)
 

Lonestar

I joined for Erin Brockovich discussion
greatest as in actually being there?

1999 SEC Championship, Alabama beats Florida HUGE. Shaun Alexander's next to last game there. Last Happy Moment of Mike Dubose.

Despite the fact that we lost, the entire '91 World Series is a tremendous memory for me.

Also, the NLCS the next season when Cabrera's walk-off single drove in Sid Bream's slow ass was incredible. I was at that game, only a kid but still! That was the most incredible sporting event I've ever seen in person.

Games 4-7 of this year's ALCS are also pretty damn impressive and historic.

And even i am moderately surprised
Thomas scoring late on to give Arsenal the championship in 89

Jimmy Glass scoring with 10 seconds to go vs. Plymouth on the last game of the season, so Carlisle avoid relegation at the expense of Scarborough in 89-90

His latter days with the Flyers weren't so hot, but hey, I can't argue against Hextall; he won the bloody Conn Smythe against an unbelievably stacked Edmonton Oilers team.
