#20 is the best one so far (and according to MLB Net when it was shown, the only regular season game in the bunch)
down to the top 6. let's see if the east coast bias exists, because I am scared that the greatest world series game of all time is not going to be on there. i don't feel my reservations are warranted and I have faith that the list won't be tarnished
Yes it is. If there was no east coast bias, there is one clear best game ever, and it happened in the World Series. However, since that game included two west coast teams, one having a fanbase that isn't very large and neither have a national following, it is forgotten.

I'm sure for the LA sports fan this was the greatest game you can remember. As a Yankee fan, I would nominate the comback in 1996 from being down 3-0 to the Braves, and virtually out of the series, to come back and win 6-3. I will never forget the Leyritz home run.
Also, the Yankees celebrating a world series victory in 2000 AT Shea Stadium is right up there for me too.
But I would never suggest that these are even close to other games I haven't seen...Red Sox/Reds, which so many people (on both coasts) talk about being the greatest game ever, the Mazeoski home run in 1960, Don Larsen's perfect game...it goes on and on.

The list is the "best" games of the last 50 years but come on
#12...the game Jeter his the 1st November home run...seriously?
#9....Arizona/Yankees game 7 with Gonzales single....seriously?
#7...Bartman
Who comes up with these "winners"??? So because of one thing during the game thats makes it "a top game?"
I shutter what the last 6 are...

In all fairness #9 did deserve to be on the list(unless you are complaining that it should be closer to 1). Great ending to a great series, I don't see what is wrong with that choice. What I do question is regular season games being on the list
It was a horrible game. And it also showed the ugly side of Cub fans. Everyone would have done the same thing Bartman did. The game itself wasn't so much about that play as it was a meltdown of a team and a Manager that couldn't close the deal.
