Your greatest Rams moment

That football is going to be worth some money. That must have been really cool.

Had to borrow your post here because the feeling is exactly the same since '65. [Even in 2007, I greatly enjoyed seeing the picture of Carriker about to sack / smack a shrinking Joey Harrington Falcon]


But my greatest sentimental Rams moments took place Sept. 11 and 12 of 1988. My beautiful wife had gotten tickets for our eight year old son and I to fly to Southern California to watch a Rams game.

During those two days, first, we saw the Rams defeat the Detroit Lions; after the game we collected some autographs and pictures including Coach Robinson who kindly posed with his little young fan. Larry McCutcheon and Jack Youngblood who were both just hanging outside the Anaheim stadium among Rams fans, friends and players also gave us their autographs.

Secondly, the next day (or was it Tuesday?), we went to Rams Park and I talked with the nice and friendly security guard who was considerate enough to allow us onto the field. My son was a happy camper and I couldn't believe our fortune!

Pictures and autographs, this player, that player. All these signatures were scribbled on the 1988 Rams Calendar we got the day before and that my wife has carefully protected till this day. Most of the team's autographs are on that calendar. We also have Johnnie Johnson posing with my son for the photo as well as Jimmy Everett, Mike Wilcher, LeRoy Irvin, et al.


That was the greatest Rams moment -- seeing my son approach the players with pen and calendar in hand and having them graciously correspond.

:l Everlasting images.

Well, I've been to games, but nothing significant happened in them except when I attended the final game of the Superbowl season at Vets Stadium in Philly and Dick Vermeil was given like a 5 minute standing ovation when he entered. Of course Marshall and Warner both went on to break records in that game, but were soon pulled and the Rams backups lost the game.

In terms of all Rams moments- "The Tackle" of course ranks up there at #1, but growing up 5 minutes from Giants Stadium and having friends that were almost all Giant fans- I must say that Flipper Anderson catching the TD in OT against the G-Men in '89 and then trotting straight into the tunnel to take us to the NFC championship against the Whiners was pretty sweet too. My father wouldn't talk to me for like a week after that and when I called my one friend, he shattered his phone against the wall. Good times, good times.

I also was at that game at the Vet in 99. That was great even though we pulled the starters. I almost got Kurt's autograph after that game.
