Which of these Yankee games is the most essential?

Squawker contest alert: We’re giving away four A&E Essential Games DVD sets – two of Yankee Stadium’s best, and two featuring Shea Stadium’s top games. Go here for further details, and enter the contest.

Here are the six games on the Yankees’ DVD set (details courtesy of A&E Home Video):

• 1976 ALCS GAME 5 VS. KANSAS CITY ROYALS: Chris Chambliss’ walk-off HR sends the Yankees to their first World Series since 1964.
• 1977 WORLD SERIES GAME 6 VS. LOS ANGELES DODGERS: “Mr. October” Reggie Jackson’s historic three home run-game propels the Bronx Bombers to another World Series Championship.
• 1995 ALDS GAME 2 VS. SEATTLE MARINERS: This 15-inning drama ended with Jim Leyritz’s walk-off home run and featured home runs from Don Mattingly, Paul O’Neill, and Ruben Sierra. WIth 3 &1/3 innings in relief a young Mariano Rivera notched the win.
• 1996 WORLD SERIES GAME 6 VS. ATLANTA BRAVES: After New York lost the first two games of the 1996 World Series, they won the next four and finished with a Game 6-celebration that shook Yankee Stadium with delight.
• 2001 WORLD SERIES GAME 4 VS. ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS: History unfolded when Tino Martinez hit a 2-out, bottom of the 9th, two-run homer to tie the game. Then in the 10th, “Mr. November” Derek Jeter’s game-winning home run ended another remarkable victory.
• 2003 ALCS GAME 7 VS. BOSTON RED SOX: With a World Series appearance at stake, aces on the mound, and white knuckles everywhere, Aaron Boone stroked the game-winning home run to seal the Yankees’ 11-inning victory.

So, I’m curious which of these games Yankee fans treasure the most. For me, Reggie Jackson’s three home run game is number one. And, much like Chris Chambliss’ home run was the first great moment of the George Steinbrenner era, Aaron Boone’s homer was the last great moment of that era.
