There are so many events in the past that I wish I'd seen. What are the moments that you would like to have been present at?Don't watch from underneath! Ouch...
Nothing would ever be the same.
The greatest example of what ordinary people can do when united for a common purpose.
My grandparents still talk about VE Day. Their stories of loved ones returning home, the sheer relief and jubilation that swept across London especially. The whole togetherness that everyone shared, knowing that the last all-clear had sounded. I so wish I had witnessed this wonderful occasion.
I wouldn't want to have lived through the war, but this would have been something to experience.
True! I watched it on TV from our living room sofa at the age of 10, and have not gotten over it to this very day!

I would cut off a finger to see that.
That beats out all the other events, unless humans go to Mars.
My dad said he watched that on TV in the hospital when he was getting his appendix out.
I am a HUGE space fan, so I would love this.
I get choked up whenever I think of this, but especially when I hear John McDermott sing the song.
"Swing and a belt! Left field! Way back! Blue Jays win it! And the Blue Jays are World Series champions... Touch 'em all, Joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!"
The Toronto Blue Jays proved what many doubted: a Canadian baseball team could not only win the World Series, but do it in back-to-back seasons.

It was baseball's first big event, and quite frankly, the Boston Pilgrims, who would later become the Boston Red Sox, beat the established Pittsburgh Pirates in 8 games to capture a world championship. It set the stage for the World Series to become a global event, with first radio covering the event in 1921, and then television came in 1947, and then FOX Sports began covering the event in 1996, to give the game a truly worldwide event.
