Goosebumps.
Yep.
Whenya Google (steal), sometimes ya get old stories. From 2016 (Biggest Goosebump Moments in sports this year (so far):
Goosebumps appeared on our arms when former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter walked to the plate for his final at-bat at Yankee Stadium in September 2014. You may have even shed a tear or two when Jeter delivered a walk-off single to win the game and produce one of the most memorable farewells to a home audience we'll ever see from a sports icon.
We'll never hear Vin Scully call another Major League Baseball game. The legendary announcer retired following the regular season contest played by the Los Angeles Dodgers on October 2. Those of us lucky enough to hear Scully over the years couldn't help brushing goosebumps off our arms as we heard him wish us all a "pleasant good afternoon" one last time.
Peyton Manning rode off into the sunset after winning a Super Bowl. LeBron James couldn't contain his emotions after winning a title with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Dee Gordon hit a home run that literally brought fans to tears.
Victor, why don't you just post the whole damn article? Nah, but thanks.
Remember when Jaws came out and beachfront properties sat empty for two years? Well done (then) and Si, goosebumps, but... to rewatch today, yawns happen.
I'm not big on crime goosebumps. I read a list of REAL crimes that gave folks goosebumps. No sense in reposting all that. We've all seen 'em, heard 'em, maybe even saw bits, pieces of 'em. Yes, goosebumps, and, accompanying incredulity.
Also notta great fan of scary movies. Gimme a good comedy, drama... in lieu of skeered goosebumps.
Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge? Fer sure goosebumps.
Some women on a cold day. VICTOR! Hey, I tried backspacing, wiping that out, my computer locked up, sorry... kinda.. not really. (And those aren't goosebumps btw)
In history........ That first paycheck. When man walked on the moon. JFK (with tears).
In real life... Age 16, on the road (not again, but, by one's self, first time). Childbirth, OMG. (If with an epidural, amazement goosebumps. If not, goosebumps from fear (ie, ready to run) of "YOU DID THIS TO ME!" For me, exactly when that server at Cascone's sets that biggest, baddest, BEST EVER plate of lasagna infronta ya. Roadtrip with friends, hometown now in rear view mirror. YES! Goosebump me! Seeing whales up close and personal. First granddaughter with an ice cream cone in hand, huge smile on her mug. Watching your parents interact with your child. Don't shoot me, "Take this job and shove it" day. Giving a Christmas gift, you watch them open, draws big smile. Goosebumps.
First kiss. First, well.. you know. However, whenever, wherever, sitting, resting - in peace.
Receiving an accolade: Student of the Month. Honor Roll over the school loudspeaker. 1st place trophy, Little League. Dean's List (I ain't never had them bumps). Employee of the year. Being voted Mostly Likely To Fall Down First On Our Whale Watching Boat Ride.

He took a first-pitch strike then drew four straight balls to reach base. The Pirates then had freshman Jason Janesko come on as a pinch runner. Pirates coach Cliff Godwin told WCTI-TV based in New Bern that it was “one of the proudest moments I have ever had as a coach.”
“Chill bumps, man,” Byrd said in his postgame interview with reporters. “It’s absolutely phenomenal.”
