Back when baseball was good

I literally fell asleep on my iPad and I woke to the 2009 World Series in the middle of the night 😅😅😂

RIP Enberg, Green, Carter, Seaver. Such extraordinary talent.

I think Pete Rose talked about getting the barrel out in your fingers too. Such a great video.

1:14:55 I always love seeing Wheeler celebrating. He wants yo just flip out but he didnt wanna ruin Harrys Call.

Why is this in my watch history i never watched this😭

Ozzie Guillermo is a yankee hater

You skipped the National Anthem? Shameful

Fell asleep to flight and ended up here😭

As potent as that 1979 Phillies team seemed, there must have been something wrong with the game management, because this wasn't the first time the Phillies bullpen blew a big lead. In fact, it wasn't even the biggest lead they blew that year, because they were up 12 in bottom of the fifth inning in the 23-22 game at Wrigley Field, and yet the Cubs came all the way back against Tug McGraw and Ron Reed before Mike Schmidt, who started that game with a HR, ended the scoring that way, as the Phillies had to scratch out a victory they should have had in the bag. And an argument can be made that the blown 8-run lead in this game was an even bigger indictment on the game management and the Phillies bullpen than the blown 12-run lead earlier that season at Wrigley was, because Veterans Stadium was a much bigger park than Wrigley was, especially with the wind blowing out, and home runs were not nearly as big a factor as they were in the Cubs' 12-run comeback. Then after the Pirates had completed their 8-run comeback, Ed Ott applied the Coup de Gras with a grand slam HR, which was at least the fourth grand slam that McGraw had given up to a left-handed hitter that season. The announcers mentioned it was the second grand slam he gave up to a left-handed hitter in a week (John Milner had gotten him in Pittsburgh), and of course, he also gave up Bill Buckner's grand slam HR in the 23-22 game at Wrigley earlier that season, as well as one to Terry Kennedy.

I was wondering why i could hear the American national anthem in my dreams 😂😂😂

I still get chills watching this. I'm hoping this is the Phillies year. Just don't bring back dancing on my own in the post season.

Rocktober was awesome. The whole town was rocking the entire month. This is a baseball town. Too bad we have the worst owners in sports history.

Anybody here seeing some 1993 Phillies in the 2024 Phils so far in this young season? Everyone contributing, guys cutting loose and having a good time, dudes stepping in for starters and getting big hits?

fell asleep on KZbin and woke up to this

I was at this game. I remember it well.

cried listening to that national anthem..

Nice choke job 😂

I was just thinking about this and had to track down the broadcast to see if there’s anything mentioned about Burnett and Lee both being from Central Arkansas. A.J. went to NLR High School and Lee went to Benton High School: 20 mins away from each other. I was a freshman when this game happened and can’t remember a thing haha edit: however they never played each other in high school and met just a few years before this game.

Classic Philly fans throwing garbage 🗑️ onto the field

Pedro stikes out the ny fucks. Not sure why this is a thing?

U can tell she got issues, fellas run, run! and never look back.

😂😂😂🎉

I have never been happier than this game right here

The commercials so 90s

Im so glad harry got to call 2008 world series

1980 team best ever

That call of Harry Kalas of the final out in the World Series was created at NFL films because MLB was stupid and didn’t allow the local announcers to call the game. This was why 2008 was so important. On the old Comcast Sportsnet website they used to allow you to leave comments under the article and a there were a few commenters knew Harry’s health wasn’t the best coming into that season and there was sense that this could be Harry’s last chance to call a World Series live. I’ll never forget turning up the radio as Brad Lidge got the final out and celebrating not just the victory but the fact Harry got to call it. I’ll also never forget that fateful day I had the radio on at work before the Phillies were going to take on the Nationals the next year and hearing that Harry collapsed in the booth and before any official word came out I knew the news wasn’t going to be good. I was on a job site with a friend of mine doing carpentry for my dad’s business and I made the call to wrap it early as I knew we would be too depressed to get anything else done that day. Fun fact though…the team was in Colorado the game before and Harry got to call what would be a game winning homer by Matt Stairs.

well done, sir. a nomo game.

Rip David west died from Brain cancer

I’m 28 I don’t mean to sound 50, 3 doors down is a great band now they would have sexy red perform and shake her smelly blood smelling poop smelling ass all over this classy or at least use to be classy town. It’s disgraceful who people look up to now. It will pour into today’s game.

1:07:58 - for those who want to see Greg Maddux pitch in what turned out to be the final game of his career. This also turned out to be Jeff Kent’s final Major League game. …damn, after 2022, I’m realizing that the Phillies have a thing for sending Hall of Famers into retirement in the postseason.

Now in 2024 we have one of the most electrifying teams ever aside of Los Angeles Dodgers , us Yankees batting we have 1.Anthony Rizzo ,2. Juan Soto,3. Aaron Judge,4. Anthony Volpe, 1-8 hitter all studs man I really hope we win this year

Bullshit black players are nothing but crybabies

Harry Kalas was amazing. There will never be another…..

Bill Cash lived 2 years longer than Harry Kalas. Wild

I was here 13 years old by myself to witness history. My dad encouraged it

I was there, I watched it, it was not that grainy or low quality 🤣 I swear

The organist is clearly biased, he played evil sounds while the phillies team was being presented

We got it!!!

Madson was a great pitcher who could, oddly enough, go unnoticed for how good he was in relief.

Trust me, DO NOT judge this series in this 1 game. Even though its a nail biter if you dont know the outcome and for the ppl watching live, this gets better and better. To the point it cant get any better.

Was at that game...Awesome. Never will forget the crowd as soon as the ball came off the bat 😊

I grew up so close to the stadium I could hear the fans cheering for a home-run or Touchdown before it was broadcasted to TV. because there was a delay. I made a lot of money inviting people over to watch the Eagles or Phillies game and betting that the next pitch or the the next pass would be a Touchdown or a Home-run ....I would hear the cannons go off for Football Touchdowns or you could hear the liberty bell Gong for Baseball home-runs....and no one ever caught on.....I have so many stories from the building of the Vet to the demolishing... Like dropping Mustard bombs from the 700 level on unsuspecting N.Y. Giants or N.Y. Mets fans waiting in line and never getting caught...and I don't think I ever paid to get in cause either you knew someone collecting tickets or you climbed the gate to the 200 level and grabbing the Barb wire and climbing over and then run like hell...That was my Playground ....I remember I was 10 years old I went to a Phillies game that went over 25 innings and I was there till 2 am. and my Father walked down to the stadium and found me just by whistling real loud and I knew it was him and we found each other and of course I wasn't watching the game but just playing...So I have awesome memories and was sad to watch it go...You will never find another Stadium with a sitting Judge attending the game and holding court after the game was over and the suspects waiting in a jail cell next to the court room in the basement of Veterans Stadium...They should make a movie about the shit that happened at the VET in the 70's and 80's..I could keep writing but I don't think anyone would read it if it's too long...but I will say this every time I went to Veterans Stadium whether our team won or lost I still had Fun and the memories I have will last a lifetime ..

You know what this game needs? A pitch clock 😂

A year later they win the pennant

The phillies payed dearly for havind trading Luzinsky away!!!

Fell asleep with auto play on and woke up to this

Hard to believe back in ‘80 they didn’t talk about the Phillies ever winning the whole thing (in almost 100 years?). But only winning the pennant

Tim McCarver started a great run as Mets announcer and later became announcer for the NY Yankees and became great friends with Bobby Murcer doing the games together. When I think not the Great Mets teams of the 80’s it is described by McCarver as well as the NYY of 99 through the early 21st Century. RIP Tim and Ralph.
