    Funny how the "Caminiti Story" has assumed mythical proportions in my own mind! :D

    Good Thread. Wow, I have so many so that it would be very hard for me to rank them, so I am going to list a few:

    1) Mike Scott clinching the NL West with a no-hitter against the Giants 1986
    2) Kent's Homerun (pure euphoria) Beltran catch deserves a mention
    3) Double Play NLCS Game 4
    4) Wildcard Clincher 2004
    5) Mike Scott Game 1 1986 NLCS
    6) Clinching the 2001 NL Central on the final day of the season. I was in the bleachers that day at Busch Stadium. ( I actually was in the bleachers for that entire series) that win also gave the Astros home field advantage for the entire playoffs.
    7) Randy Johnson's first start in the dome
    8) Winning the NL pennant and shutting down Busch Stadium


    I am sure I will remember more later, but one I think deserves a mention even though I dont know if it actually qualifies as an Astro moment:
    Second to last game of the season in 2004, Astros are playing the Rockies and we need the Giants to lose so that the Astros could win the WC by just winning the next day. Giants playing the Dodgers and lead the whole game until Finley hits a walkoff grandslam. When the manual scoreboard operator switched the 3 to a 7 MMP went nuts. I was there at that game and the crowd went crazy.
