I agree with many already listed.

Miracle on Ice

Federer-Nadal

Ice Bowl

Super Bowl I

One I haven't seen mentioned that I would have loved to have seen is the 1999 Ryder Cup. It was the largest comeback in Ryder Cup history and saw possibly the most controversial celebration in the history of golf.

Edit: Also wish I had been able to go to the 2008 Ryder Cup, which was in my home state, and saw the Americans, led by two Kentuckians, win back the cup on their home turf.

most of those already listed, for one.

going back in time to see bobby jones complete the grand slam. every tournament for that one (i see it as one event, honestly).

bobby jones at st andrews pretty much period.

go back and see old tom morris play.

francis ouimeit (SP?) beating harry vardon in the US Open as an amateur and in his early twenties.

any of the bulls finals with jordan, or any of 50+ point games, or really just getting to see jordan play at his peak.

the original dream team's olympics, or the most recent one.

The 2002 AFC Divisional Playoff Game between the Patriots and Raiders; AKA "The Tuck Rule Game," AKA "The Snow Bowl."
- overtime playoff game
- lots of snow
- two clutch kicks in hideous conditions
- controversial ending
- created a new rule
- launched a dynasty
- Raiders fans are bitter about it to this day

Being a BoSox fan, I would've loved to have been in St. Louis when the Sox won game 4 of the World Series in 2004.
