August 12, 2012 - met my wife.
August 12, 2016 - married my wife.
August 12, 2018 - our daughter was brought home from the hospital. Born three days earlier. Never forget sitting there with my little girl in her Cubs onesie watching David’s Grand Slam!

Cards fan here. This was an objectively awesome baseball moment. And the Cubs YouTube channel makes great stuff. I had no idea Happ was so funny.
The poor Nationals lost on a walkoff homer the very next night off the bat of Paul DeJong too.

[atlosass]

Absolutely magnificent. Still the best moment of 2018. By far.

[jennykate]

Magic. I still get chills every time I see a replay of that moment.

[CZsWorld]

One of the greatest moments in Cub history.

The one night my household will never Mostly because I couldn’t stop screaming!!! Woke up the entire house. My fiancé, who had to work nights at the time, didn’t speak to me for two days. Was worth it....😂😂😂😂😂

As a fan of Baseball this is one of my favorite moments ever. Every kids dream realized by this man. We can all live through this. Thank you David.

I think everyone still remembers where they were when this happened. I was up watching the game with my parents. My Dad decided to go to bed and just like that the minute he got in bed the inning unfolded into its magnificent glory. I sat there and prayed “Lord Jesus be with the Cubs in this moment” and just like that....error, hit by pitch, hit by pitch, now Bote’s up. I prayed a little harder. And in what felt like an Maria. Walk-Off Slam. My mom and I were jumping up and down screaming at the tv like they could hear us in Chicago. I honestly think it was God’s will for the Cubs to win that game. Whole heartedly I believe in that.

I threw out the first pitch at that game. Best game ever!

[CannonRushed]

Not only the best baseball moment of 2018, but one of the best in my 46 years as a Cubs fan.

As others have said, this was the best moment of 2018. It was Sunday, August 12, 2018. After listening to the ESPN announcers proclaim Max Scherzer as the second coming for 2 1/2 hours in a horribly boring Sunday Night game, with bases loaded in bottom of 9th and 2 outs, David Bote whacks one over the center field fence... walk off grand slam, Cubs Win 4-3!

[PeterTea]

Probably the most exciting walk off I’ve seen. Sometimes the stars just perfectly align.

[dylanward]

I’m as big a Cubs fan as any, and I was bowling with my girlfriend at the time. I got a notification from my phone that the Cubs had the bases-loaded, and I had been following the game so I knew what the deal was. I excused myself and walked over to the bar where they were playing the game on TV and watched the entire at bat. Wow. This was such an awesome moment.

I’m a Phillies fan but I could watch this content all day! Wish the Phils posted stuff like this

[jassonjas]

Im not going to forget that moment. It's unforgettable moment.
