And you two can still get along with each other?

Could the greatest also be one of the very saddest? Anyway, this one ranks right up there on the richter scale of things which caused the Earth to move:

i gotta go with Game 6 1996 WS vs ATL.
first yankees WS of my lifetime and it launched the Torre dynasty. Nothing has been sweeter than that first one. Girardi with the rbi triple. Jimmy Key started. Mariano was the bridge to Wetteland. Boggs on the horse. Jeter's first title.

I have to go with Boone's home run personally. Because I remember staying up and watching it. It was a great feeling, because I was nervous the whole game til that moment when I just was able to jump up and celebrate. It also happens to be one of the, if not the last great Yankee post season moment.
But historically it has to be Don Larsen's perfect game. At that point the Yankees achieved things never thought of before and Larsen's perfect game was basically the icing on the cake. Also the fact that Larsen didn't pitch so great in game 2 that WS also kind of cements it.The 27 Time World Series Champions New York Yankees!
