10. The Ride of Ben Revere - everything from the tumbling triple, to his amazing catches and his stolen bases. Ben Revere was fun to watch. He broke the Twins all-time rookie stolen base record and ended the season with 34 stolen bases. He robbed many people of hits and the most memorable one against the Orioles. Although he never got that first home run, he tried many times for inside-the-parkers and is known for flipping the catchers over at home... Although he may be in pain from giving 110%, Ben Always has a smile on his face!

9. David's Birthday Present for his Mom - David Price delivered the perfect birthday present for his momma this year! David pitched against Toronto and opened the game with 7 strikeouts in a row. He ended the game with 14 strikeouts. Then returned to the dug out and wrote "Happy Birthday Mama!" on his hand and showed it to the camera!

5. DJ3K - Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit comes in as number 5. This was a big event that happened this season. Derek got his 3,000th hit of of David Price at Yankee Stadium. It was a home run that was caught by a Yankee fan, who returned it to Derek after the game. Derek ended up going 5-for-5 & getting the game winning hit on the day of hit #3,000.
4. Cooper Stone. - The Texas Rangers did a great thing for little Cooper Stone. Josh Hamilton threw a ball to Cooper's dad over the summer who fell over the rail and died in this tragic event. Cooper got to throw out the first pitch to Josh Hamilton in Game 1 of the ALDS. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. I still get tears every time I see this video. I'm telling you now, KLEENEX WARNING! God Bless The Stone Family.

3. Liria-no-no- WOW! I remember watching this game with my dad thinking, This is gonna be painful... and it was, Liriano starting walking people and it was painful, but with the help of the double plays and some fine defensive plays by Denard Span in the outfield. Liriano, no-hit the Chicago White Sox.

2. The Wild Rays! - The Rays made an incredible comeback the last month of the season to clinch the American League Wild Card. In the 8th inning, the Rays were losing 7-0 to the Yankees. A few bases loaded walks and then Evan Longoria walked up and hit a 2 run bomb to make it 7-6 Then in the 9th inning Dan Johnson tied it up on a homerun and eventually Evan Longoria hit a walk-off home run to win it all for the Rays! The Rays were headed to the Wild Card.

1. Mr. 600. - As most of you probably predicted, Jim Thome hitting number 600 against the Detroit Tigers is my number 1 moment for this year. He hit #599 & #600 in the same game, in a win against Detroit. Michael Cuddyer was the first one to meet him at home plate and eventually, his wife, kids & dad came down to congratulate him.
