The player could be a HOFer, a good player or simply average. For example, Willie Mays was considered by many (including Ted Williams and Joe Dimaggio) to be the greatest ALL AROUND player ever, but he’s still identified with THE CATCH in the 1954 World Series..
Franco Harris is a HOFer, but what most comes to mind is the “immaculate reception.”
Tyree is the obvious one and he was average at best, save for his proficiency on STs...
Ok, I’ll start, Jay Alford, Brady sack, SB XLII
And go.
Manning Twisted helmet and displaced shoulder pad, 2012 NFCC
Never heard of him. What level of hockey below the NHL?
Gary Reasons - The Hit
Sehorn - playoff INT return vs Eagles (mentioned above)
Tyree - Helmet Catch (obvious)
Pierce - stopping screen pass in NFC championship game
George Martin - screen pass INT return vs Elway
Barra's HR against Newcombe in the bottom of the ninth to give Allie Reynolds a one nothing victory
Allie Reynold's two no hitters after Berra dropped the first pop up
Don Larson's perfect game
Havilchek's steal. Birds steal and pass to DJ.
Alan Ameche off the right side in old Yankee stadium...Gifford 3 fumbled in that game
Sandy Sadler upsets Willie Pep
And DiMaggio, to the best of my knowledge, NEver said Mays was the GOAT, in fact, he wouldn't make appearances unless he was introduced as the greatest living ball player.
Bo Jackson- Chases down fly ball and climbs up OF wall
Endy Chavez- NLCS robs HR with arm stretched out beyond fence
Jeter- Flip play
John Starks- The Dunk
Eli- To Tyree 42
Eli- To Manningham 46
Houston- Clinching runner in the paint against Miami in 99
Secretariat's Belmont Stakes
Muhammad Ali's rope-a-dope
This play was what popped in my head first. Second would be Matt Bahr’s kick to end the 3peat and send the Giants to the Super Bowl.

Klammer stayed on his skiis by a hair, at best!!!
Chris Chambliss' walk off vs the Royals, game 5 ALCS also in '76.
What a year for sports...
I would add Bobby Thompson HR and Willie Mays (my favorite player of all) World Series catch but I didn’t see them live (not all of us had TV).
There is often a point in time where you are watching a sporting event and something happens that causes you to say “we’ve got this”. In my memory, that occurred when that black cat walked/ran across the field in 1969.
The group of college friends and I watching it were absolutely stunned.
We wouldn't have been more shocked, in awe, or silenced if a real life ET knocked on the door of our frat.
Chambliss HR to win the playoff series (mobbed on the bases)
Gibson HR (even though I hate the Dodgers)
Willis Reed limping on the court for game 7 in 1970 (chills still)
The icing on the cake was watching BB's reaction. The play happened right in front of him, and while everyone else on the sideline was frantically waving it out of bounds, BB just shook his head and walked away.
well, that's your target audience here.
Tyree helmet catch.
Jeter flip play.
Manning to Manningham.
3rd and 13 vs Minny in '86.
Chambliss HR.
Secretariat
Maris' 61st HR.
Willis Reed.
good times ... would be nice if they would return!
Really put Uconn basketball on the map, and I went to High School with Burrell so we went insane.
I have more, but this one stands out.
watching him run on the ice after that goal is indelibly etched in my mind forever. So many great memories of that game - the Mark Johnson goal buzzer beater, some of Craig's saves and the celebration still sometimes gets me misty eyed, but that goal always stands out to me as the greatest moment in sports. and I don't know there will ever be a greater one.
- Christien Laettner turnaround shot to beat Kentucky.
- Chris Davis (who's name probably falls into obscurity), and the Kick-6 in the 2013 Iron Bowl to beat Alabama.
- While he has tons of famous moments, Sidney Crosby's Golden Goal in the 2010 Olympics to beat the USA is probably his most memorable singular moment.
- Doug Flutie's Hail Flutie, to lead BC over Miami
- Joe Carter and his World Series walk off

NY based plays
well, that's your target audience here.
I understand but it just goes to show how people are "homers" and cannot view sports objectively. This carries into game threads too when the camera clearly shows one thing end people here think it shows something else (in their minds)
Maybe the thread is about memorable plays for each person (personally) and not memorable in sports history. Maybe I just did not understand the original question.
I would agree with others on Eruzione. It was an event that united the country and the victory was more improbable than the Giants beating the Pats.
Marek Malik's shootout winner for the NYR vs. the Capitols.
Watching it live at the time, I nearly fell off my chair.
I don't think I can remember a single moment of the rest of Malik's time with the Rangers (and honestly I've given up on hockey for years at this point). But just incredible.

World Series. Over.
3rd ... Mike Tyson loses to Buster Douglas. (not a single play but the moment itself)
NY-Related Games
Basketball: Willis Reed Game 7
Baseball: Bucky Dent home run
Football: David Tyree Helmet catch
Any Games
Basketball: Christian Laettner shot vs Kentucky
Baseball: Kirk Gibson home run

But MOST memorable outside NY - Gibson with the PH HR. Cant make that stuff up and will never forget it.
Don Beebe for saving the TD in the SB, likewise Leon Lett is is known for several bad plays.

This is one of my favorite moments too. First year of the shootout, 15th round, “Malik now! 6’6”, 238, not a noted goal scorer but he’s gonna give it a shot here”...I think I’ve watched this on YouTube about 500 times over the years hahaha.

Of course, as far as Yankees go, when you're the most dominant sports franchise in the history of any single sport for the past century, you're bound to have more than your fair share of memorable moments, no?
Watching video of it after the fact was spine tingling at its finest.

It's not even that complicated.
This is a Giants message board. Most sports fans who are Giants fans are also fans of other NY-area teams. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but just generally speaking. And most people's most memorable plays are going to be from the games they were watching.

Of course. That's one reason Jessie Owens' 1936 performance in Berlin was as afterthought, too.
Absolutely. First thing I thought of.
Also the 3rd down run by Otis Anderson to seal a victory was a similar situation.
He was a machine...unbelievable.

Do you see any of Jim Thorpe's moments on here? Jack Johnson? Babe Didrikson Zaharias?
Jesse Owens is in the same group as those athletes. There's not even any Barry Sanders or Jim Brown or Walter Payton moments on this list, and this is a football message board.
It's not that complicated. It's what people have actually seen. You're the one who tried to make some NY reference that really didn't have any legs.
You're throwing Owens' out there like it's notable of anything, but I don't see any mentions of Mark Spitz or Michael Phelps or Ian Thorpe, or Mary Lou Retton, Carl Lewis, etc.
Do you think there's anyone on this message board who saw Jesse Owens' performance in 1936? How would that even appear on this thread without anyone here having seen it?

What an odd reference for someone who hasn't been here very long.
Andres Iniesta Game winning Gol that won Spains first and only World Cup.
Just like the first Giants SB, a game that I'll never ever forget
The next that comes to mind immediately that for me defines the player and the team was Mark Bavaro's catch and run to spur the comeback on MNF against the 49ers.
LJs 4 point play is the next one and the 2nd most memorable even I witnessed in person.
Rounding out what comes to mind quickly is Jeter's 3000th hit (at that game also), Tyree's catch, Marcus allen's long TD run in the SB, Mark Ingram breaking a ton of tackles for a huge 1st down conversion in SB XXV, OJ Anderson's uppercut run, Joe Morris TD run with his sock flapping, Reggie's 3 HR, Allan Houston's shot to beat the Heat.
A meaningless game, but I still remember Louis Orr hitting a half court buzzer beater to beat the much better Celtics on MLK Day circa 1986.
Jeter's catch diving into the stands on a foul ball against the Sox
OK more than 2 more:
Jeter's flip also.
I was also at A-Rod's 3000th hit and remember the stark difference at Yankee Stadium from a year prior for Jeter.

Holtby - The Save - ( New Window )
I don't think he actually pointed to center field. He changed his story multiple times, and at first even said he didn't point to the outfield. Only many years later, when the myth had grown and grown and grown thanks to sportswriters, did his story become this: "so I pointed out to dead centerfield and said 'I'm gonna hit it right past the flagpole!'"
But, still impressive is the truth: which is that he pointed to the Chicago dugout (both fans and Cubs players were talking a lot of shit to him at that point) and he basically said "that's only 2 strikes, there's still 1 to go." And on the next pitch he hit it out of the park.
Anyway, again, still impressive, but below is the best investigation of the story, and they even have actual footage of the at bat and him pointing at the Chicago dugout.

Same thing can be said if I were to think about Michael Jordan. His shot against Cleveland is one of the most iconic in the history of the sport, but I think of a hell of a lot more than that one moment.
So if the player does not need to be defined by that one moment, then I have to go with Michael Jordan for that shot against Cleveland.
If he does... then it's Bill Buckner.

To give a less obvious example....I will always remember Andy Pettitte for firing a perfect throw to third base to nab Smoltz at third on a bunt in Game 5 of the 1996 World Series. It was a tense game. Yanks had taken a 1-0 lead, but Smoltz was dominant and they didn't figure to score much more. In the 6th, Smoltz led off with a base hit. Another single followed to give the Braves first and second with no one out. Mark Lemke then bunted a ball back to Pettitte. If Pettitte hadn't made the throw he made, he would have had bases loaded. Instead, third remained empty, and Chipper Jones then hit into a double play to end the threat. Yanks won 1-0. Smoltz said he pitched better in that game than any other of his career, but he lost due in no small part to Pettitte's play.
There is only one buzzer beater for me, as I'm sure you could guess

You see in your face defiance and domination in basketball and boxing but rarely see it in baseball. Bob Gibson came to Yankee Stadium in 1964 and sneered and raged his way to an unforgettable victory...ripped their hearts out and that era of Yankee domination was over as they aged in front of our eyes.

Phelps wrote a note anda autograph and then gave his mother his phone number.
For me the greatest glimpse into the power of sports and the importance of moments of kindness.

Attended the Baltimore Orioles game in 1995 when Cal Ripken broke the Lou Gehrig consecutive game record. He also hit a homer that evening. Special, special night.
