There are very few things in sports that get me emotional, I can easily recount them. The 1980 U.S. Miracle On Ice, the 1994 Cup from zero seconds and until they left the ice with Lord Stanley. Another was Wayne Gretzky playing his final game in the NHL and being blessed with the fact it was with the New York Rangers.
A Birthday Present from the Rangers
The Rangers signed Wayne Gretzky on July 21st, 1996 and held a press conference. I remember it vividly because it was my birthday and it was like a gift to me from the team I live and die by.
