Michael was a GREAT 3rd baseman as-well.

The players and announcers back then were great. The golden age of baseball. Baseball now? I haven't watched a game in probably 30 years.

Couldn’t of happened

Martinez Daniel Clark Patricia Martinez Donald

I got 1 and you could probably guess which one. Impressive to get 5, wow.

I Got Aaron Judge, George Suttles, Eddie Yost, Yusmeiro Petit and Monte Irvin. I’m Pretty Satisfied with .417.

So, What's a pause.......Not That! "BALK"!

Carlos May..nice player had half a thumb from explosion in Army accident

Interesting, but a bit anti-climactic

Itll be a travesty of justice...

I likely have already done so, but I want to do it again: THANK YOU for preserving what is arguably the best ERA in baseball(Divisional Play Begins through 1995, pre-interleague). It is difficult for this Orioles fan (baseball fan first and foremost) to see these changes, effectively ending the very unique nature of this vaunted sport. The only major sport that consisted of two leagues, who NEVER played one another outside of Spring Training, All-Star Games, and the World Series. Under the umbrella of MLB, each league had its own president, who in turn only answered to the Commissionsr of MLB. And for the cherry on top, each league had its own umpires (officials for the novice), AL & NL respectively, who answered to their respective league presidents. 1996 was the beginning of the end, with Interleague play. Foreshadowing the end of an ERA was the 1994 strike, where greed met greed and only the fans lost , AGAIN 🫤. Peter Angelos' refusal to use replacement players (He was a Baltimore Unuon Lawyer) has cost Orioles fans the All-Star Game since 1993, so much for the "Park that created a revolution," as spiteful commissioners beginning with that Used Car Snake-Oil Salesman Selig, through Rob "Man-Fred," who continue to punish fans. The organized AL/NL Umpire walk-out also ended an ERA: the eventual decertification of the Majpr League Umpires Association, ushering in the World Umpires Association (now the Major League Baseball Umpires Association). All of that to force MLB to renegotiate their contracts, but MLB had three plans at hand: the first was to bring all umpires under the commissioner (useless Selig), second was to call a higher strike, and lastly, the most ironic of all: create accountability for the umpires (that worked well....). The methodical dismantling of what baseball had been, was edging closer to complete obliteration, and 2020's COVID season was the first time both leagues used the DH, to become permanent in 2022. Add the pitch clock (only sport without one previously), then the "three batter rule," plus the softball extra inning runner, and seven inning double header, and you have seen baseball shift towards complete change. But that was not the beginning of MLB's arrogance.... Nobody is talking about this: WHY have the Orioles, who play in the best park in MLB, the park that created a wave of new-age stadiums, have not had an All,Star Game since 1993? The Orioles went from proud franchise, consistent winning through player development to free agent gambles, beginning in 1985 when they signed Fred Lynn, Lee Lacy, and Don Aase. Enter Angelos in 1994, local guy who buys the team, but marches to a drummer nobody had ever seen or heard. He refuses to field replacement players on 1994 to protect Cal's streak, strike one and two, then the MASN money issue with the team MLB dumped in our region with the sole intent to ****** Angelos and the Orioles, the new Nationals, then force the Orioles to allow the Nationals to not only use MASN, but share revenue with the new team as well. STRIKE THREE, Orioles fans are out. 1996 on will be, arguably, an evolution or devolving of a beloved sport depending on perspective. Some will say baseball evolves with time, others, more cynical like myself will argue the changes have forever alrered the game, one could say this change was needed, others may digress (I do not want to visit that pitch clock), and perhaps we both have a point: The only constant in life IS change, like it or not. Either way the legacy of both Selig and Manfred are open fir discussion, and that is one I would like to participate in until I take my last breath. Is there a nice way to tell Selig and Manfred what i really think of them? No, and they do not care, which is my point, the apathetic musings if two idiots have created a new game, one i no longer recognize. Soneone please wake me up, this dream became a nightmare way too long ago..... Brian Shea Sr

Who recognizes the announcer Curt Gowdy , formerly the RED SOX radio announcer .

Billy would love such skills in true life.

As a Cardinals fan, I hated seeing Rusty Staub pictch hitting. It meant the game was in the line and there was a good chance he was going to get the job done, be it a hit, moving a runner over, a sac fly or driving a runner in from 3rd. All respect.

I remember watching this game

That's 3 Big, Great players. I was an Astros fan because of Nolan. They had Mike Scott too. Imagine facing Ryan, Richard, and Scott 3 days in a row. But, I wouldn't want to face Stargell or Parker any time. The good old days!

Running across the mound would be "fightin' words" for me, so to speak. Rose highly disrespectful.

We need a woman and we don't have any black people yet and Richar Pryor said no, who can we get to join Robin and Billy on this Comic Relief thing? I KNOW!!!!!

Has Whoopi ever been funny in any capacity? She was embarrassing then and even more so now.

Hit King ....nuff said

This highlight brings me back. When I was kid we ate dinner in the dining room with no TV but during MLB Championship Series and World Series mom would allow us to have dinner in the living room so we could watch the game. It didn’t matter who playing we watched the games as a family 😊

Tomahawk chop? At a Giants game?

something about those WGN crowd mics... The sound when the crowd cheered was so strange sounding.

should've kept him in chicago.blame kennedy in the front office!!

my favorite cub of all time!!!!

Willie got great jump, had third base stolen. Willie doubled previous to Kingman Hr and was running gingerly. Willie was 41 years old I believe.

Thumbs UP.

What stands out to me’s how slow Mays is going around the bases as if he wants Dave to take it in and appreciate it.

Utterly remarkable

Man...there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Dan hit out over "Tonight Let It Be Lowenstein". Nice post

The Great Rusty Staub..., wake up MLB HOF...

Watch ending on this one!

That umpire is brutal

Nice, just run around the bases no show boating….

Some Very Talented Entertainers in The Booth… and Whoopi Goldberg.

Robin was so hilarious.

Berger had a tremendous year for the 1935 Braves (38-115) 34 HR’s, 130 RBI, .295 with 39 doubles. He led them in every major offensive category, except for BA. Hal Lee’s .303 average was in 112 games, 24 extra-base hits, not one homer. Berger played half his games in cavernous Braves Field, and had to bat *behind* Ruth until The Bambino left after 28 games (yet finished 2nd in HR’s with 6) or Berger might’ve had even more extra base hits and RBI. He had four more productive years in his 30’s, but injuries sapped his production. Worse, he went 0-for-18 in two WS…after injuries made him mortal at the plate. He should’ve been a HOF’er, considering who he had to play for and where.

In Philly we had Whitey Asburn and Harry Kalas calling Phillies games. They were the best. The clowns announcing this game were not.

We can all acknowledge here that the correct call was made. This was absolutely foul in the box. It’s also important to highlight that this is an extremely difficult call for the plate umpire to make because he has the catcher in front of him and the ball hits the front side of the batter. Plate sees the ball bounding away but, not at the moment it hits the batter. The wing umpires although 90 feet away have a much better angle and in the end they get it correct. It seems obvious on replay and it is obvious on replay but, remember plate does not have this angle.

Impressive postseason resume hitting them off Palmer, Flanagan, and Carlton.

Boy were those 70’s ball parks hideous.

Back when they were using replay without using replay. "pssst. He was safe."

Headhunter Dickie Noles got his. Leon Durham wound up a first baseman because, as here, he was a poor outfielder.

This dispute will be settled in 2022.

I miss the Joe Rudi style closed stance.

Weak...

Ernie Harwell & Bill White: A legendary combination that I never would’ve fathomed.

They used the shift in 1986!

I never realized how much Rose crouched at the plate. You rarely see that kind of batting stance these days, do you?
