After losing to the Rangers in the Eastern Conference Final the year before, the Devils win the 1995 Stanley Cup Final by doing the unthinkable and sweeping the Red Wings.<img height="225" src="http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nhl/nj/1995Devils.jpg" width="375" border="0" />

Twins winning the World Series in 1991.  One of the best series ever, and as a Twins fan, it was awesome.

The Cincinnati Reds are the only team I root for that have never let me down.  I've seen them go to the World Series 3 times in my life and win all three.  Their sweep of the Yankees in 1976 was extremely gratifying, as was the sweep of the mighty Oakland A's in 1990.  My most enjoyable moment sports moment, though, has to be the 1997 Red Wings sweeping the Philadelphia Flyers and winning the Stanley Cup.  2 years previous I had to witness my Wings getting swept by the hated New Jersey Devils.  When that happened I was thoroughly convinced I'd never see Detroit win the Cup in my lifetime.  I actually shed a tear when time expired and they were champions.  I loved the 1998 Stanley Cup win, (and the one in 2002), but that first one was an incredible moment.

bad as they had sucked in the 80s, I don't blame ya...I remember the
Tim Cheveldae Era as a kid and how bad they were.  Stevie Y was
their ENTIRE offense for YEARS... Shows you how
great a player he was that he was able to turn himself from a 70 goal a
year scoring threat into one of the top defensive forwards in the league I did not, however, find the Red Wings 1998 Stanley Cup win to be very enjoyable...for obvious reasons...

My father's friend was the Maitre 'D at the Diamond club and he got me into the stadium, then made arrangements with an Usher to get me a seat and keep an eye on me. I was 11 at the time. Can you imagine that happening today??!! I was sitting in the Loge section (right near the Diamond Club of course), and when the fight broke out everyone stood up and towered above me. As I stood on my seat trying to see the action I asked the guy sitting next to me what happened and he said, "Pete Rose is beating up Bud Harrelson!" I said, "Hey, he can't do that!" Boy was I naive! Later in the game someone in the left field stands threw a gallon wine jug (among other things) at Rose. The umps said the game would be forfeited if the crowd didn't stop throwing stuff. Yogi Berra, Rusty Staub and Willie Mays came out and Pleaded with the fans in the left field stands to stop throwing stuff. The game continued and the Mets won 9-3, eventually taking out the heavily favored Big Red Machine in 5 games. I remember the whole thing like it was yesterday.

The 1986 Fiesta Bowl - Penn State defeats Miami 14-10.  My Dad and his family are HUGE Penn State fans and this is the first time I remember being amazingly excited about the outcome of a sporting event.  I was just begining my teen years and followed the team all season - even made it to a game with my Dad.  When the team returned to PA we (and thousands of other fans) went to greet the team at a massive pep rally in State College.  Wow what a time!<img height="172" src="http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/552160/images/classics7.jpg" width="144" border="0" />

Because I was there in person the single most enjoyable moment I've ever had as a sports fan was watching the New Jersey Devils win their first Cup in 1995.

since i'm from in philly and was born 3 years after our last major sports championship, i guess i have to say the eagles making it to the super bowl two years ago. At a close second is the flyers making it to the cup finals agains detroit i believe in 1997 or maybe 96. Now im depressed.

jets: watching san diego's kicker blow it against the jets. ironically our own kicker blows it a week later ...sighknicks: well honestly nothing is going to match my happiness when dolan no longer owns the team, until then i wait quite anxiously.mets: the first mets yankees game of this past season, i was there. when wright got that game winning hit against mariano in th ebottom of the ninth and shea erupting. shouting 'get out of queens' to everyone wearing a yankee jersey during the walk to teh train. my favorite anti yankee moment was watching them blow game 7 against the dbacksmy favorite antilaker moment was after they had grabbed karl malone and gary payton in the offseason. i thought the season was over from that moment on. but watching the pistons sweep them in the finals that was fucking sweet.
