CG, 2-hitter, 13 K's (I might be off by 1 or 2), with all the D.R. flags waving in the stands. It felt like a world cup game. Sold from that moment on.

In addition to all those amazing games listed by El Pres, the moment for me was during the 7th game of the '04 ALCS when Francona inexplicably put Pedro in for for relief of Derek Lowe with the score 8-0 in front of, an up till the moment, stultified Yankee crowd. Rattled by the booming chants of "Who's your daddy" Pedro gave up hit after hit and it appeared while the Red Sox would still easily win the master would be would be shown up by the fans themselves. At that moment he reached back and lit the gun at 98 MPH for the final two outs of the inning against Olerud (swinging) and Cairo (flyout) I felt like I was watching the Grand Finale with the fireworks exploding over the Esplanade. I knew at that moment I would never see this Pedro again. I still like to watch him and root for him because he reminds me of who he once was. I can still see in my mind Gary Sheffield's knees buckling in front of his 12-6 curveball. Damn! He was absolutely the most dominant athlete to take the field, any field, during my consious life.
