What has made you jump up out of your seat?

Last night I was playing my RTTS career and I was one home run away form 40. I clobbered a hanging curveball that instantly cut to the home run cut-scene. I jumped up off my couch with my hands over my head. But then...

Wait. The umpires got together to take a look at the replay. I waited. The replay showed that the ball actually traveled over the foul pole entirely. It was ruled.... a foul ball.

I continued my at bat and fell behind in the count 1-2. And then it happened.

I blasted a 441 foot home run into the upper deck at Sun Life Stadium. A no-doubter. Awesome.

That's an awesome story there, I've never played RTTS but HR's must be more special with the player you are working on.

I remember one event that made jump off my seat was a comeback on my first year home opener (currently on my second season) against the marines, I was trailing 3-5 for the longest part of the game can't really remember, but in the ninth inning with 1 out I had two guys on base and hit the walk off 3 run homer (exactly what I needed to win) with Jack Cust and I was just filled with excitement.

Coming from behind when you least expect it and getting that huge hit

OR...the bad version

Opponents coming from behind when you least expect it and getting that annoying huge hit

I do love hitting with my guy. He was 4 away with 3 series left and we were down by 6 games. I carried us against the Braves who were first by hitting 3 homers, but we lost in the final game even though we were up by 1 thanks to my 39th. We were out of it then so I was trying to hit everything out of the park. I ended up Hitting one in the first two games. Hopefully we can get into the playoffs this year.

Mine was similar in that it was an upper decker at Sun Life. My story, I was sitting on 59 hrs in the last game of the season and it was the top of the 9th and we were down by 2 with 2 outs. I come up with 2 guys on against Fernando Rodney (sp?), and on the 3rd pitch of the at bat he throws me a hanging change that my dude destroys, it doesn't go into the cut scene but I knew it was gone as the outfielder stop at the fence and looked up. So final at bat of the season I hit #60, hit a go ahead hr in the 9th and on the replay I see that the ball lands about ten rows back in the 3rd deck (450-460ft). I thought it was awesome (my wife didn't) it was my dudes biggest homerun so far in his three seasons in the bigs. But alas my closer sucks and he gives up 2 in the bottom half and we lose 5-4 and we miss the wildcard by a game. Stupid game

Ryan Howard. 448 ft 3 run blast in the fifth inning at PNC park after a 9 pitch AB. He even steps back after he hammers a souvenir for the fish in the Allegheny. My jaw dropped... I've never hammered a pitch in this game so hard.

It was the Orioles vs Giants (me) at AT&T Park. I almost recreated the play a couple of years ago where Manny made that catch, jumped to the wall to high five a fan, and tagged up the runner.

I was pitching with Cain and they had a man on first with 1 out. Throw a slider that hangs just high enough for Markakis to launch a shot deep towards left field. Torres runs back to the warning track and jumps just in time to rob the HR. I was so excited, I barely saw that the runner was rounding third trying to run back to tag up. Quickly threw to the cut off man and he threw it to first to double him up. Had to pause the game when the inning was over cause I couldnt believe what I just saw.

I was down online 7-0 against the Yankess in the 8th using the Mariners, online. After I took Felix out in the 6th, he scored 5 on me that inning, I have really missed having Mark Lowe as a late inning go to guy. Then in the 8th I scored 4 runs to make the score 7-4. Then in the bottom of the 9th, Jack Wilson walked, Ichiro hit a liner off the pitcher for an infield single, Figgins layed down what was supose to be a sac bunt, but turned into a bunt hit. Then Gutierrez came up with the sacks juiced with no one out, got a 1st pitch cutter from Mo Rivera that I was sitting on, power swung, and I think it ended up hitting off from the International Space Station for a walk-off grand salamie. One of the few moments I have ever jumped out of my seat while playing.
