August 29th, 2015 Edwin Encarnacion vs the Detroit Tigers.

The 3 homeruns
The grandslam
The 9 RBI's
The five minute delay while Canadians throw hats all over the field like it's hockey
The Familia being pissed off at another Bluejays thread bump

All of it, Bluejays fever has boiled over tonight, and it's so exciting to be a part of. We may never see another season like this in our lifetimes. This is pure insanity.

I remember that being the turning point in the series with the A's (who were just as stacked as the Jays were at the time), and it was the first playoff series the Jays won en route to a World Series Championship. Also, for those who don't remember, Eckersley was as close to automatic as Mariano Rivera was for the Yankees, possibly even better. Being down 2 in the 9th with Eck on the mound seemed like a sure win for the A's, but Alomar turned it around with one swing.

Just an iconic moment in an amazing career.
Came in looking for this... leaving satisfied

Alomar is my all-time favourite ball player (and Brooks Robinson)

Don't forget the continuation of Edwing's (24 game) hit streak and one of the most sincere and goosebump inducing "Let's Go Blue Jays" chants in DECADES. What an awesome moment to have in 2015. Let's hope that more will come in the following months! When the camera started showing the fan reactions and then Buck and Tabby just went dead silent, I think something fell out of my eye. That's a genuine baseball moment right there.
