Favorite Sports Moment: October 9th, 2011, fellow TinCaps employee, good friend, and fellow Wisconsinite Tony DesPlaines and I were fortunate enough to attend game 1 of the NLCS for our Milwaukee Brewers against the Cardinals.

It is the single loudest moment I have ever heard a stadium of any kind, and I will remember it forever.
