[@josephconnor2310]

Wonderful broadcast. No commercials, beautiful. Great to see clemente, dave not yet davey Johnson, Willie stargell. Thank you so much for posting! Also love the antenna on tony kubek's head.

[@puertorricanvault4320]

My pleasure

[@Lava1964]

This is the first World Series I ever watched. I remember running home from school to catch the end of Game 2, 3 and 5.

[@michaelmccormack494]

First generation straight camera feed. Totally amazing. As we watched it in '71. Baseball mattered so hugely then, when we were gentlemanly as a country; when we knew what decorum was, and practiced it faithfully; when the game was all, and any of the peripherals to it, even in SUM, were of distant importance. For those under 30 or 35 years old, you cannot imagine our excitement then, while waiting for the broadcasts, and, no, we didn't have to be a big fan of either side... and we DIDN'T have to be wagering.

[@puertorricanvault4320]

That’s true. We appreciated televised games because there was only one maybe two all week plus This Week in Baseball till the Superstations like WTBS,WGN,WWOR,started

[@bufnyfan1]

The people in Maryland/Baltimore were so lucky to have such a great announcer in Chuck Thompson. Absolutely amazing voice

[@georgeford3687]

I was there and 10 years old in 71. I cried after game 7. Notice there was polite applause for the visitors. Different time.

[@ManuelGuzman067]

MVP Great one Roberto Clemente 🇵🇷⚾ Best Pirates ever on the MLB Franchise

[@adrianwalsh5403]

Day I was born I liked both teams from the 70

[@TralfazConstruction]

It's wonderful having the 1971 World Series here to watch again. Other than highlights, I've not seen or listened to these games in almost fifty-two years.

[@gmaqwert]

I miss World Series day games. Just Saturdays, that’s all I ask.

[@effatha4Him]

Unforgettable Series. I was 12 and till this day I celebrate this 2 champions teams, especially Roberto Clemente Showdowns

[@mariomercier9334]

I was too young to watch this series live in 1971 but watching this great series and Roberto Clemente is such a pleasure.

[@frankmaiorana66]

I too was too young to pay attention to this World Series and I was living in a Pittsburgh suburb of Castleshannon. My Dad's office was walking distance from Three Rivers Stadium.

[@RobertoAFernandez]

This is baseball heaven.

[@chrisspearline767]

So glad for the uploads I am a Pittsburgh native and was born in 1973. I never saw this series until now or Clemente in action

[@ciesaro]

I was 11. It is too bad not much footage exists of Roberto Clemente in his prime

[@maynardsmoreland]

Tony Kubek nailed his prediction.

[@spryfolII]

Kubek was one of my favorite analysts and later color guy, just a great all around broadcaster who could've easily did your nightly news or Sunday political show. During the mid 70's when Joe Garagiola took over NBC lead PBP for baseball, I thought that pairing was just as good as CBS NFL team of Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshire. They both gave tremendous knowledge, insight, humor, and timing. Kubek though always had the knack of predicting how a inning will turn out in progress as well as getting into the mind of a player or manager mapping out situations and what it means now and later. For Tony to make that prediction of a Pirate win in 7 was Kubek at his analytical best. The Pirates pitching was just as good as the Orioles, but the speed, bat contact, and Clemente made the difference.

[@chrisspearline767]

Boog Powell one of the all time greatest names in sports

[@alejandroberrios7909]

Roberto Clemente is made in his pocket to that powerful machine of the Orioles!

[@larryro8872]

Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, and Mcnally on Baltimore, all top notch players, 2 of them Hall of Famers.

[@Disneylandonacid1982]

[@Disneylandonacid1982]

Kubek predicted both Pirates in seven, and interleague play

[@ciesaro]

Back when watching the World Series was meaningful

[@davidmitchell6873]

Back when your mom was still thin and your life had promise.

[@Franciscasieri]

Weaver had the best team in Baseball three straight years...69, 70 & 71... 1-2 in WS play...

[@RobertoAFernandez]

There were 4 complete games in this series: McNally in this Game 1: Steve Blass (2), in Games 3 and 7 (defeating Cuellar twice, allowing one run in each game); and a two-hit shutout by Nelson Briles (defeating McNally) in Game 5.

[@williamdunphy352]

Curt Gowdy (PBP) & Chuck Thompson (C) 1st half Thompson (PBP) & Gowdy (C) 2nd half Tony Kubek (field reporter)

[@towhee89]

Thanks. What was your source for this game did you take it off a deleted KZbin or transfer it yourself? Easier to watch than the other versions. Just was curious

[@puertorricanvault4320]

Did it Myself like every other video You’ll see on this page

[@ScottSchaffer-r4v]

Did Doc have a sore elbow or was he high which made him questionable to start the game?

[@joeyoconnor3039]

Hey no commercials??

[@chrisspearline767]

I bet Doc Ellis was high during this game

[@brentcline4552]

That’s funny. Apparently he took LSD before he threw his only no- hitter against the Padres in 1970.

[@towhee89]

According the articles and documentaries he was basically high every game, you can bet for sure he was on greenies. Look at how he chomps that gum lol.

[@bigcolt5256]

"The Pirates in 7???" Where you coming from, Kubec? Orioles are a lock.

[@terrencearturo7750]

You prolly dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother these days :)

[@dashkarson121]

@Terrence Arturo Definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)

[@maddoxcallum6128]

@Terrence Arturo Yup, have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D

[@puertorricanvault4320]

Sorry that’s out of sync I wish I could go and re do it. But I apreciate all the views and comments. It was a different brand of baseball for sure. I like this one better.

[@creepercraftold3165]

43:54

[@josecarranza7555]

This is not the whole game. Seventh inning is missing.

[@willdrucker4291]

Can someone please explain how Dave McNally in the Hall of Fame?

[@georgehakimian5949]

McNally is not in the Hall of Fame if that is what you are asking. McNally did have a good career just not a long enough duration of a career to allow him to be voted in. Yes, he was a good pitcher though.

[@orbyfan]

This is missing the top of the 7th.

[@williamdunphy352]

Umpires (Game 1) HP Nestor Chylak (AL) (Crew Chief) (4th) 1B Ed Sudol (NL) (2nd) 2B John Rice (AL) (4th) 3B Ed Vargo (NL) (2nd) LF James Odom (AL) (1st) RF John Kibler (NL) (1st)

[@georgehakimian5949]

Kubek's prediction had to be based on some sort of dislike for the Oriole organization because on paper & reality the Orioles had an all around superior team than the Pirates.

[@davidmitchell6873]

Get out of here clown.

[@chrisspearline767]

The only white guy in the starting lineup. You couldn't say that in 2022

[@davidmitchell6873]

Your mom doesn't have any white guys in her lineup.

[@stephenricci1888]

when baseball was baseball not the woke racist crap we have now

[@davidmitchell6873]

Back when your mom wasn't fat and your life had promise.

[@anthonydelgado9985]

😂😂😂 the first pitch of the game wtf he swing those umpires were blind back then!!!

[@morthedgebuckle227]

Tony Kubek nailed it in his prediction.
