You have the same game listed twice! (Numbers 15 and 23.)

[metirish]

Thanks....not sure what to do about that, it's turning into a mess....

[Guest themetfairy]

I went with 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 13, 23, 24 and 25.

I didn't vote for 8 here because I voted for it as 79.

I loved 13 - that come from behind Father's Day night win at Shea was an incredibly fun game to have attended.

Missing from the description of #20 is that we also clinched the division that day.

1, 2, 3, 5, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 25

[Gwreck]

I should add that there a LOT more memorable games in this set than there are in, say, group #5.

[G-Fafif]

Yeah, I think this is the money group.

PSST! 20 was also the 2006 division clincher.

1, 2, 3, 5, 13, 15, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25
