First real sports memory that you have? Not of something you've read about your team's past, but the first thing you distinctly remember watching live yourself.
Vid related for me:

first vague memory i have is auburn's desperation pass broken up at the end of the 2008 lsu game, which was my first ever time in jordan-hare
first fully formed memory is cam newton's heisman moment
verne's "HE ACCELERATED!" is permanently burned in my mind

I still remember going to see the Cavs play at the Richfield Coliseum for the first time in 1991. I remember going to Jacob's Field when it first opened. and the Indians playing at Municipal Stadium.
My grandpa and my dad took me to my first Indians game when I was 4 and I still remember their old stadium like it was yesterday.

was at the game, would have been 5 years old
I remember it being a huge crowd as well, it was the last game of the regular season and both teams had finals on the line

The first time I was at a stadium.
I was 6, didn't know anything about any sports at all... and we won 4-1.
Who's old enough to remember when you could pick up every local sports game on rabbit ears for free. When every little gas station, drug store, deli, bodega, all had little tv's behind the counter with employees watching their local baseball, basketball, or football teams and people would stop and ask the score. Back when listening to the games on AM radio was still a thing.
Late 90's early 00's killed it. Now you've gotta pay for cable, pay too much for a digital league package with blackout exceptions, or stream it online and wind up being 5 minutes behind what everyone else is watching.
My very first distinct sports memory was some kind of NFL game. I believe it was the Patriots playing somebody else. It was snowing very heavily and I think the Patriots were down one or two points, maybe even three. They made a field goal in that extremely heavy snow and somehow it managed to get the Jets through to the playoffs. I have no recollection of what team they were facing or what year it was
First moments I remember well are the 2005 MLB playoffs. podsedniks walk off, konerkos grand slam, pierzynskis memeing.
But I have a lot of vaguer memories from before that. I know I remember seeing kenny lofton and ray durham in a sox uni, so that's 2002 at least. Can't remember anything really specific beyond that. I was 7 then

Seeing my Uncle on TV at the 2003 fiesta bowl. Also my dad running down the street with our Ohio State flag when they won in OT
Tim going god-mode and killing the Lakers dynasty.

2000 World Series, game 3, Jeter hit a home run on the very first pitch.
The only time sport ever made me cry, when Beckham got sent off against Argentina in '98.
Also, the Man Utd vs Barcelona games in the '98 Champion's League.
1998 seems to be my cut-off point. Does that mean I have a shit memory (I was born in 1990)?

My dad was beyond pissed.
I was in the stadium for this, age 5 I believe

Croatia vs Germany at 1998 world cup. i was 8, and i was at sea side with my parents and family, everybody was in some beach bar watching game i was playing around and watching too, and it was complete chaos when we won, and it was really fun.

Stanley Cup playoffs in 1994. Probably why I am a >rags fan
The Iverson step-over on World Champion Tyronn Lue.
