Micky Lolitch's pitching performance was the best pitching ever by a pitcher in a world series . His brilliant pitching winning 3 games and 3 complete games yet on a couple of days rest will never be seen in baseball again . His great effort no doubt won the Tigers the World Series . Lolitch deserves to be in the HoF. ..He was masterful shutting down the mighty Cardinals I didn't see a relief pitcher taking warmups in the bullpen The Tigers began the year by winning so many games they were so far ahead of the next place team and stayed in 1st from day 1 to the world series Denny McCLain 's 31 wins in a season has never been broken in 56 years and will never be attained by a pitcher again

I watched this game in English class at Jackson High... Great memories!

This is the first time I’ve seen footage of that fateful inning which included the mis-play of Flood that opened the gates to the Cardinals’ loss. American Forces Radio broadcast the World Series overseas on shortwave radio at the time.I was living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia at the time, eight time zones earlier than EST, and stayed up ‘til 4 or 5 in the morning to follow the game as an ardent 26 year old Cards fan. Thanks for the footage to replay what had only been in my imagination from the radio broadcast ‘til now.

Sparma! Wilson! Wert! Stanley! Let’s Go Tigers 2024

普通の力士なら、脱臼癖を引退の言い訳にする。千代の富士関は肩の筋肉を付けてさらに強くなる理由にした。この事だけでも、千代の富士関が只の力士と全然違うのが分かる。私には何十年経とうが憧れの力士。

Watching this dancing king figure-skate to perfection!(9.25.2024) Know you’re doing fine at present.

8:32 JOHN LAUGHED!?!

Greatest game ever played. Gibson had struck out 17 the last time he’d faced Tigers. Tigers coming back from 3-1 game deficit. Epic.

Is that Harry Carey on the call ???

there was a documentary series with english subtitles and an explantion of rules and moves of this tournament. does anyone know where i can find it or its name?

The last true World Series.

Looked to me like Flood slipped because he misjudged the ball. Looked like he was coming in slightly while he def needed to be heading back. I think that's why he slipped.

Poor Flood, a terrible spot to lose his footing, especially for such a brilliant fielder.

I can still remember watching this game in my 8th grade class room. The teacher rolled in the TV on a big stand, pugged it in and let us watch for an hour.

That may have been the only time in his career Curt Flood misread a ball.

8:04 he sounds so zesty lol pull the tapeworm out of YOUR ass bestie 🤭

I grew up in Detroit and was in the fields near my house, building a tree house, when all of a sudden I starting hearing all these horns honking and I figured out it must have been the Tigers winning the series. I will always remember that day.

The 68 World Series tigers vs cards is what got me going on baseball.. Still have the programs and can name every starting player.

I LIVE IN DETROIT. I NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD PULL IT OFF. HOWEVER IN JANUARY OF 68 I REMEMBER DRIVING WITH MY MA IN OUR NEW CHRYSLER NEWPORT. SHE HAD THE RADIO ON AND I HEARD THAT VEGAS WAS PICKING THE TIGERS TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES IN 68. TURNED OUT THEY WERE RIGHT. AMAZING. DENNY MCLAIN WAS SUCH A GREAT PITCHER. I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. LOLICH WAS AMAZING AND I HEARD THAT WHEN HE WAS A KID A HARLEY FELL ON HIS RIGHT ARM AND HE LEARNED HOW TO THOW WITH HIS LEFT. THAT IS WHY HE BATTED RIGHT HAND. DONT KNOW IF IT IS A TRUE STORY, BUT THERE IT IS.

I was 15 years old when this game was played. The Tigers had some amazing players.

I’m 65, grew up in Detroit and this still my favorite World Series! Instead of MVP Denny McClain, beer-belly Mickey Lolich turned out to be the hero of the Series.

Strange seeing Gibson lit up

Even if Flood didn't slip he couldn't have caught that ball, it was too far over his head.

Curt Flood should have caught that.

so daron didn't use an Iceman on this album?

Triple m.f.a.....

That boys and girls is Harry Carey you hear!!!!!!

In School they rolled in TV's to the Classrooms so we could watch.

My Dad's favorite team the Cardinals lost this one. He was bummed on October 10, 1968.

I was at Bien Hoa Air Base in Vietnam. Had the game on the radio. It was in the middle of the night there. 'SOCK IT TO EM TIGERS!'

Gibson was one of my favorite players in that era

Incredible turn of events Gibson dominated and ….

Biggest guitar pic I've ever seen

Man Gibson, Lolich, and McLain, would be the best pitchers in baseball today

Great solid baseball. No glitz, no million dollar players. Today's baseball is sad

My grandfather was 21 at the time (78 now) and he said it was something to hear at the time. Crazy how much changed in only 60 years

I was 11 and i remember running out of the house and celebrating up and down my street. One of the happiest days of my childhood.

Wow Harry Caray on the mic. Norm cash with no batting helmet against Bob Gibson. I was watching this game on the new tv's in my catholic grade school. For some reason the nuns decided to let us watch baseball while we did our in class work. Those were definitely "the days."

I was able to listen on my transistor radio. The principal would check in with me from time to time tto see who was winning..as I remember I think Micky Lolich was the big gun that year after McClain was the stud to get them there.

That first step cost him. Even the fastest man alive can't recover from that.

This is when baseball was baseball. No stupid pitch clocks, no replays on EVERY play on the base paths, and you were allowed to block the base runner sliding into a base.

"I think we really outdid ourselves this time" is an all time quote to describe Toxicity

Norm Cash didn't wear a batting helmet. I thought helmets were mandated by 1968.

I know its the dream but being in a band is hard work. You can tell it is a grind sometimes.

I missed it, I was in Vietnam in 1968.

more again!!!

I was seven and they let us watch it in school as well.

No click track?

My first World Series. I was a 1st grader in the Chicagoland area. We were in a car pool. I couldn't wait to get home to catch what I could of the afternoon games in this Series. This was an awesome time to be a kid. No adults bothering us about gays, lesbians, and trannies. You could just be a kid and watch baseball!
