This is my own list from my own perspective.  This means you won't see anything about the Bulls on it because I could give a rat's ass about the NBA.  Just thought you should know.  Now, on with the countdown:

1) 10/26/05-Sox Win World Series: This is the greatest day of my sports life, period and the third greatest day of my entire life.  The White Sox win the 2005 world championship.  I still can't believe it. All I know is, I went into shock after the last out.  And if I die tomorrow, I will die knowing I saw the Sox win at least one world's championship in my lifetime and I didn't have to wait 81 years like my dad did to see his Red Sox win theirs.  It may not have been the most exciting series ever, but to a Sox fan, it was the best.  Who would have thunk the Sox would have swept the Red Sox in three (thank you El Duque) and dispatched the Angels in five (thank you A.J.).  It was just an unbelievable run for a team that peaked the last week of the season.

2) 10/11/09-Blackhawks "Reassign" Bob Pulford: There is nobody in the history of Chicago sports, not Dave Wannstedt, not Abe Gibron, not Ed Lynch, not Hawk Harrelson as Sox GM in 1986, not even Terry Bevington who was a bigger impediment to progress and more incompetent at their job than Bob Pulford.  How the man was able to keep his position for 27 years is beyond my comprehension unless he had blackmail pictures of Bill Wirtz getting jiggy with a sheep.  In any case, soon after taking over the Blackhawks, Rocky Wirtz "reassigned"  Pulley to a job in the Wirtz corporation, which we believe to be some kind of overnight security guard position.  If you don't believe that Pulford's removal had any impact, then you haven't been paying attention.  The Hawks are back, but only because Billfold left us and Pulley got kicked to the curb.  Some may argue that this is too high on the list, but as much as I love hockey, this was a move I had been waiting for forever.

3) 10/14/03-Bartman Game: This was the game that confirmed what White Sox fans have always known: Cub fans are a bunch of self-entitled whiners.  How else could they possibly blame one of their own for derailing the 2003 world series train?  The sad thing is Bartman had little if anything to do with it.  It was Alex Gonzalez who messed up a sure double play.  It was Dusty Baker's handling of pitchers that was a problem.  And don't  forget, this was not an elimination game.  The Cubs led the series at one point three games to one and still had a shot in game seven.  Yet, Cub fans still point the finger at Bartman which is ridiculous.  Moises Alou had as ,uch of a chance at catching the ball as I do of having an unbridled night of passion with Shania Twain.  Deal with it, yuppies. 

4) 2/4/07-The Bears Return to the Super Bowl: The Bears returned to the Super Bowl for the first time since Super Bowl XX, but this was not your Daddy's Super Bowl.  Despite Devin Hester running the opening kickoff back for a touchdown, Rex Grossman had a horrible game while Peyton Manning did what he does and gave a team from a cow town in Indiana a win over the mighty Bears.  Since then, the Bears haven't been the same and Lovie Smith, whose stock was at an all-time high in 2007, now faces potential unemployment . 

5) 7/23/09-Buehrle's No No:  In every no hitter I have ever seen, there is always one spectacular play that is the difference in it being a no hitter or being a perfect game or being a one hitter.  In this game, the play was the leaping catch by Dewayne Wise off the bat of Gabe Kapler that saved it.  Had Wise not been brought in as a defensive replacement and had not Scotty Pods moved to left, we wouldn't be having this conversation.  Baseball is truly a game of inches.

6) 6/3/03-Sammy Uncorks One: Everything you ever thought about Sammy Sosa came true on one pitch.  He was a cheat and a liar.  His bat broke and it was obvious it was corked.  Then, he lied about that  just like he had lied about using steroids.  It was a moment of public humiliation for Sosa who didn't get nearly enough of them with the Cubs.

7) 9/30/08-Sox Win Playoff With Twinkies: It all came down to game 162.  The Sox had been up and down in first place most of the summer, fighting with Minnesota.  And despite the fact that the Twins finished with Kansas City and the Sox had to play a Monday makeup game with Detroit, the season came down to this one game, which the Sox won.  And what a game it was.  Junior Griffey threw Michael Cuddyer out at the plate on an incredible tag by A.J. Pierzynski.  John Danks threw seven plus innings of shutout ball and Jim Thome drove in the only run of the game with a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh inning.  What a game!   And since most people figured the Sox had no shot in the playoffs, losing to Tampa Bay in four games was not as big a deal as you might have thought.  For after what it took to get there, Sox fans were just happy to be there.

8) 10/16/09-Bears Comeback on Cardinals-Down twenty points at halftime, the Bears got a punt return for a touchdown from rookie Devin Hester and then forced two fumbles in the second half and roared back to a 24-23 lead over the Arizona Cardinals.  The Cards had a shot at winning the game, but Neil Rackers missed a 41 yard attempt with 53 seconds left to seal the deal.  The Bears won despite six turnovers made by quarterback Rex Grossman.  After the game, Cardinals Coach Dennis Greene, who was fired at the end of the season, launched into one of the most magnificent post-game tirades since Jim Mora and the famous "playoffs?" meltdown.
