Hall. Of. Famers. Everywhere. Awesome. Fernando R.I.P. Shut up Cosell!

Richardson was perfectly positioned to catch that line drive. He played McCovey to pull and was standing practically on the outfield grass. If he had played at his normal position, it would have been a win for the Giants.

Aired on my 18th birthday.

How Ironic 86 World series mimic the Royals Cardinals 85 World Series.

32:43 Really? If only it were not so expensive to record color in those days. Even to watch. A color TV cost about $300 in 1960. That would be more than $3,000 in 2024 money.

8:07 Reggie is still the all time leader in strikeouts. Interesting the commentator said that Joe DiMaggio (As hitting coach in 1969) stated that Reggie would swing after bad pitches. When he retired in 1987, Reggie was just shy of 2600 career strikeouts. Nowadays, players strike out much more frequently thanks to many pitchers throwing 100+ fastballs and nasty sliders. But they break easily, and pitch counts prevent most pitches from throwing a complete game.

And boos for Tom Seaver? Rocky came out that same year but the booers didn’t deserve Rocky being from that place.

A shame that in 1985 the Cards got rid of these baby blues and only use them for throwback occasions

There lies a ballpark that opened one year before Ebbetts Field. Existed for over a decade after Brooklyn's final out in '57. Saw several National League championship teams. A future star by the name of Pete Rose. And some great moments captured on first-generation videotape.

At 11:15, that office view of the John Hancock building is awesome

48:32 GO NINERS!!!!

This was Yankee Stadium before the 1974 - 1975 remodel, which made the Yankees play at Shea Stadium, home of the Mets. It’s rare to find actual footage of premodel Yankee Stadium, so this is a vintage classic.

Did anyone see that guy fall down to get the HR ball at 3:15?

I was relieved the Dodgers won the game, but seething from the Game 1 disgrace.

I was so furious at the Dodgers after this game. I threw a broom halfway across the courtyard at my dorm. It amazed me they actually came back and won that series.

😂😂😂aqui no estubo Boston.. se toparon con los campeones DODGERS .. 🤘🏻💪🏻⚾

I was so nervous that day.

0:56, 5:19, 12:25, 17:31, 1:30:35, 1:38:42, 2:59:07, 3:00:22 - 30 Rock (NOT RELATED TO THE 2006-2013 SITCOM)

Scott and Ryan. Never trust pitchers with two first names.

Sparky was 29 yrs old here

LGM

⚠️FUN FACT ⚠️ It was right around this time a 14 year old kid named Angel Hernandez went to his first ophthalmologist after repeatedly looking directly into the sun as a child. 😳

I wish the CUBS would've kept those 1979 road uniforms they were outstanding unlike the cheesy 1984 road uniforms

Back then, 1979, I was a huge Pittsburgh fan.

This game was 5-25-83, not the 23rd.

20 years later, the Minnesota Twins would eventually meet the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series with the Twins winning the series in 7 games. The first of only 2 World Series Championships the Twins have won with Kirby Puckett and Kent Hrbek. The Red Sox, after winning the 1967 Pennant, would meet the Cardinals in the World Series and similar to 1946 the Red Sox would be defeated in 7 games in the 1967 World Series. Later in time, the Red Sox would pay back the Cardinals for these World Series defeats mentioned above by defeating them in 2004(in a sweep) and in 2013.

that last out took a while.... one observation: i see that the crowd went into the field when the game ended, but that didn't happen in WS game 1

For those on this thread who are rhapsodizing about these good old days baseball is in pretty good hands currently with Ohtani, Judge and Betts et al.

these guys were my idols. big Dale Murphy fan

Reggie Jackson doesnt get enough respect

Show the commercials, too

This was an ALCS preview.

2:15 Keith Jackson with the first signs dementia thinks he is still in 1976

Loved these guys, Willie, Bow, D. Cash, Hutt, JJ...some of my favorite Phils of all time!

Fans were not yet wearing merch jerseys. When did all that begin?

As a long time Dodgers fan I loved and respect the old rivalry between the Dodgers and the Reds in the 1970's. The was the best days of the old N.L West . Never again will you witness classic baseball like the old N.L West.

So many pick off attempts oh man it’s great to actually see baseball being played unlike this weird version today

I'm not wearing any pants right now.

36:08 Al Michaels predicting the '94 strike.

“He’s in the range right now where’s he very hittable” 😂😂😂

Commercials are incredible!

Lemon out there wearing pajamas like Detroit counted back then. NO THEY STILL DONT!! I know I'm 62 dodger fan

Great streak, showing how great a player he was! What are the chances anyone will ever approach his streak or DiMaggio's ever again?

Rickey Henderson pouting like a baby.

Keith Hernandez looks a bit like Kix Brooks.

They say Munson screamed, cried and pleaded for rescue at an extreme volume as his body slowly burned while he was trapped in the wreckage but fully conscious and thrashing about. "Get me out, GET ME OUT!" his voice echoing as he tried to escape the burning plane but there was nothing anyone could do. This indicates that Munson was: 1. Conscious: He was aware of his surroundings and situation as his flesh burned for over 4 minutes. 2. In immense pain: The severity of his burns and injuries caused immense and unbearable suffering. 3. Desperate: Munson's loud and persistent cries for help reflect his urgent need to escape the flames. -"Thurman's cries were a mix of pain, fear, and desperation." - Emergency responder (Akron Beacon Journal, August 3, 1979) - "Munson's screams were blood-curdling... He was begging for help." (Emergency responder) - "The screams, the cries for help, it's a sound that stays with you forever." - Jerry Anderson, passenger who survived the crash (Sports Illustrated, 2019) - "Thurman was yelling, 'Get me out! Get me out!' It was heartbreaking." - David Hall, passenger who survived the crash (New York Daily News, 2019) - "The plane was engulfed in flames, and Thurman's voice was loud, pleading for help." - Emergency responder (Akron Beacon Journal, August 3, 1979) - "Munson's desperate cries still echo in my mind." - Witness (Cleveland Plain Dealer, August 4, 1979). A final hushed and resigned "Help me Dave" were his very last words as the flames engulfed his upper body and began scorching the flesh from his face, his trademark mustache and lips suddenly melting away whilst his eyeballs boiled until they popped. Finally, he inhaled and tasted the putrid toxic flames and fumes and was released from this life. He was only 32.

Scooter was right the Yankees got a taste of it,and came back to beat the Dodgers in 77, and 78 and Win back to back Championships!!!,but they couldn't match the Big Red Machine of 1976!!!!,Arguably The Greatest Starting 8 in MLB History with 4 No Doubter Hall of Famers!!!!,Rose, Bench, Morgan, Perez!!!!!

Fernando Valenzuela we will miss you, Legends Never Die. ⚾🏆

I believe what Keith Jackson was calling a "breaking pitch" in this game was actually a nasty splitter. Nolan was throwing a splitter!
