This is a hard vote, but I went with the '97 clincher because I was in the 7th grade, had been attending Astros games since I was 5 or 6 and this was the first time MY team was going to the playoffs. (Too young to remember '86). For my birthday, my dad got us two tickets to game three of the series. As we all know, the Braves beat us that day and swept the series but I saw my first playoff game and was with my dad who taught me to love baseball so '97 gets my vote!
