For the next several weeks we’ll be rolling out our list of the best The Moment’s of 2013. The list is the product of winnowing down 173 moments from April to October into the best twenty. They vary in their importance but all captivated us in an important way. A few are silly, a few are excellent plays, and a few will travel down in Tigers lore. I hope you enjoy it.

This one doesn’t really need much description. The game turned out to be a 4-2 victory in extras, but this moment was a Moment for the sheer entertainment value. In fact, I’m not sure the two players involved could have matched the occasion any better.
