| Top 5 sporting events from 2013 |
5. June 8th, 2013 -- Miami Marlins 2, New York Mets 1 (20): This was one of those baseball games that would never
end. They happen. 20 innings, though? Probably what was most impressive was that after the Marlins took the lead in
the top of the 20th inning on an Adeiny Hechavarria run scoring single, their closer, Steve Cishek, had not yet been used
and managed to close out the game for the save. Lost in this game was that Jose Fernandez was the starting pitcher for
Miami. Thank goodness this was a day game.
4. June 15th, 2013 -- Washington Nationals 7, Cleveland Indians 6: Not only was this my first time ever attending an
Indians home game (for that matter it was also my first time seeing the Nationals play in a game), it was also my first time
ever in Cleveland...PERIOD! The game was tied in the ninth when a foul popup by Anthony Rendon landed in between
two Indians players. Rendon, given a second life, then hit his first major-league HR. But, this game was more about
crossing another stadium -- and city -- off the bucket list.
3. November 10th, 2013 -- Detroit Lions 21, Chicago Bears 19: It's always cool to go to a stadium you haven't been
to before. This game at Soldier Field was the highlight of those. And, it went down to the wire. Thanks to Detroit
stopping the Bears on a two-point conversion attempt at the end of the game preventing overtime, I had no problem
catching my flight that evening to Birmingham, Alabama for the next night's Rutgers basketball game.
2. April 26th, 2013 -- New York Knicks 90, Boston Celtics 76: My first game at TD Garden in Boston, coming off
working the NFL Draft in NYC the night before (and getting my equipment out of the building before the union wouldn't
allow me to). I witnessed the Knicks go up 3-0 in this first round playoff series. I would actually have a chance to see
for the first time ever the Knicks clinch a playoff series in game five of this series, but the Celtics won that game. The
most significant part of this game was the ceremony for the Boston Marathon bombings. This was the Celtics first home
game since that event. Oh, and after this game, I had to get back home under deadline to work the Rutgers spring game
the next day.
1. September 29th, 2013 -- Kansas City Chiefs 31, New York Giants 7 AND October 20th, 2013: Kansas City
Chiefs 17, Houston Texans 16: Both of these games were in Kansas City. Arrowhead Stadium is a cool place to watch
a game from (if the broadcast booths weren't enclosed). My first time at Arrowhead Stadium I traveled with the Giants.
The game stunk but the experience of it -- including picking up all the elements of the Giants broadcast -- didn't
disappoint. My second game at Arrowhead Stadium, only three weeks later, came down to the wire. A fumble by
Texans quarterback Case Keenum on their final drive of the game allowed the Chiefs to hold on. My travel to this game
took a detour through Oklahoma as I worked at the Oklahoma State football game in Stillwater, OK., the day before,
then drove to KC. In all, in 2013 I worked an NFL broadcast 10 weeks in a row in six different stadiums while also
attending the full slate of Rutgers football games...and the aforementioned Oklahoma State game and three college
football bowl games.

On November 16th, I attended my 100th consecutive Rutgers football game without missing a snap.
| Honorable Mentions |
1. March 12th, 2013: LIU Brooklyn 91, Mount St. Mary's 70: They rushed the court after the game -- That's always
fun, as LIU Brooklyn won the NEC Tournament to advance to the NCAA Tournament.
2. August 29th, 2013: Fresno State Bulldogs 52, Rutgers Scarlet Knights 51 (OT): It was hot lugging the radio
equipment up a ramp in the Fresno, CA. desert. I had technical problems so I went up and down that ramp a few times
before the game. It was Rutgers first broadcast on IMG. The game lasted around the four hour mark. We flew home in
a packed plane overnight afterwards and didn't land until around 9 AM. As soon as I got home, I hopped in the pool to
cool off then went to sleep.
3. East Carolina Pirates 37, Ohio Bobcats 20 (Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, FL.): I agreed to work this game
thinking it was a night game. Then I realized it was a day game, but I had a Rutgers basketball game the day before. So,
I didn't get in to Tampa until around midnight the night before this football game, but still got everything set up and done in
time the next morning. It helped that I had been at Tropicana Field before (thank you, 2005 Yankees). I was very
relieved when I got back to the hotel that evening.
4. October 5th, 2013: Rutgers Scarlet Knights 55, SMU Mustangs 52 (3 OT): My first time ever in Dallas (not
including the airport) was almost ruined by my radio equipment being brought to the hotel instead of being left at the
stadium and a bunch of bad referee calls in the game.
