Randy Johnson was pitching for Seattle against the Oakland A's (late eighties?). First time I ever saw the freaky tall pitcher do his stuff, and well, he was freaky tall, and he had some freaky wicked stuff! I didn't realized what was happening until the sixth inning. Then in the bottom of the eighth....

Still, a one-hit shutout was pretty cool. It was a boring game by most fan's expectations, but cool if you actually understood what was happening.
