You get to change one game in sports history

[Rams Fan]

It can be in the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA etc.

You get to change the outcome of the game. What would it be and why?

For me, it would be Mizzou losing to Oklahoma in the 2007 Big 12 Championship Game.

If they had won, they would have gone to the National Championship.

Credit goes to PGM.

How about the game where Priest got the **** knocked out of him? Think of the ramifications that single act had on the team.

Well...if we want to talk about KC baseball...

We could have Game 5 of the 1977 ALCS, which we lost to the Yankees. That was probably the Royals strongest ever team.

Or what about Game 6 of the 1980 World Series. Then the Royals play one more game for a title.

Grbac melted down on the final drive in 1997, but he did actually complete a lot of passes into tight coverage under heavy pressure. Losing that game was painful; I was at the game.

You'd have to make sure that Grbac is tied up somewhere far away from Arrowhead as well. Not even changing history could prevent him from being awful. We lost that game the minute Marty/Carl decided that he should start over Gannon.

Probably has to be it for me.

With any of the Chiefs games, we just get our asses kicked in the next round, so aside from 1993, I don't see much of a point.

2006 Michigan / oh st (lower caps). called "The Game of the Century". #1 vs #2. Bo died the day before the game and Michigan did not win one for the Gipper. wish I could change that one. bastards....

Game 7 of the 1987 WS
Game 6 of the 1985 WS
Game 7 of the 1968 WS
1993 AFC Championship

If I can only pick one - Game 7 in 1968 -- best baseball team I ever witnessed and C. Flood screwed it up.

I think our defense would have destroyed Kordell Stewart in 97

7th Grade Baseball playoff game against the hated same school rival. We were essentially the wild card tem from division two they were the 3rd year running chaps from A league. And they had cut me from the friggin team two years earlier even though I was certainly not in the bottom ½ of the players. I was pitching and we were ahead 4-2 in the 4th inning with 2 outs. Coach pulled me out after I walked two batters and put in Meatball Paul. They promptly got about 12 straight hits and decimated us. I just wanna go back and finish pitching that game. My buddy Scott would probably like to have played in the game but was in the hospital with appendicitis.

It's funny how Stenerud ended up in the HOF, yet he basically did the same thing to this franchise that the kicker that will go unnamed did.

Here is mine...

January 16, 2000
NFC Playoffs: St. Louis Rams 49, Minnesota Vikings 37

I'd have the Vikings beat the Rams... that way there is no NFC championship in St. Louis the next week... and that means that Derrick Thomas wouldn't have gotten into a car accident driving to the airport to see that game.

Outside of the Chiefs....the Leyritz game...'nuff said.

Exactly what I thought about when I read the title!! /thread

I was wondering if ANYONE was going to mention game 5 of the 1977 ALCS. That's the game I would change. It was a heartbreaker. I was in the stands in right field that day, and I've never seen 40,000 people go absolutely silent after a game like that. After a few minutes of total silence, a bunch of people actually started crying.

It sucked because the Royals had the best record in baseball that year and they would have been a heavy favorite in the World Series. That WAS their best team ever. It was nice to beat the Yankees in the 1980 ALCS and to win the 1985 World Series, but they didn't make up for the 1977 loss.
