Jackie Robinson coming to the plate.

Miracle on ice really stands on its own.

Kerri Strug is right up there, IMHO.

 

[PaddyWF]

Bad title. Could apply to Team USA or any American athlete/profesional team.

Ben Hogan's 1953 season.

Tiger Woods' 1997 Masters win.

Roger Maris / Mickey Mantle chasing Babe Ruth's HR record.

USA beats Mexico 2002 WC.

1969 New York Mets

If we're opening up to individual, not team USA accomplishments, Gibson's homer in the 88 World Series is maybe my top.

Some of the responses here are weird. I don't think of Gibson's HR or Tiger winning a golf tournament as a "USA sports moment".

Miracle on Ice is first and everything else is vying for second. The women's WC win in 1999 is up there as well.

 

[RJKarl]

Miracle on Ice is far behind Jackie Robinson as Jackie changed an entire sport forever and led to huge changes in our country.

Miracle on Ice is also behind Jesse Owens.

Miracle on Ice was a great moment, but it's impact in the US was over not too long after the game.

The title of the thread is limited to "sports".
