1973 World Series Game 3 NEW YORK 10/16/73 (11) Original NBC TV & Radio Broadcasts

[@DavidDykes-dm9lc]

Once again, a great production job!!!❤

[@philiptucci2458]

Great World Series, remember it like it was played yesterday, so nice to be able to see again after all these years

[@brando7266]

Yeah,I was 9 yrs old,,the first world series I remember watching,,

[@JohnGlass-hi1jd]

Love the old-school baseball ❤❤❤❤

[@garyt.2616]

The most important WS victory in the 3 year reign of the A's. They won a game that Seaver started, survived a near disastrous first inning by Catfish, came back from a 2 run deficit, and by winning assured that the WS would at least go back to Oakland regardless of how the next two games in NY turned out.

[@jamesrfb]

Very cool seeing Casey Stengel throw out the first pitch.

[@terrondt]

Tom Seaver in his prime. He was a beast of a pitcher

[@genecasciari748]

I was a huge A's fan at 12 . Converted to Mets in 86. I am now cursed. LOVED Seaver's power windup! The Franchise

[@Ken_Weber_organist]

Same here, only I converted to the DODGERS. I did root hard for the A's to beat the Dodgers in '74 WS to complete their 3-peat. I abandoned the A's after Charlie O Finley completely fucked up that team by selling off great players. My conversion to Dodgers was Tommy Lasorda's first year managing after Walter Alston retired.

[@DavidDykes-dm9lc]

The Swinging A's!!!! What a team, masters of the postseason!!❤

[@michaelmiller2397]

good radio announcer ! thanks...if the game weren't so exciting I'd have bailed...but this is GREAT!

[@paulwalker1572]

Great Quality!! Thank you so much for improving the quality of this game which has not been good. I am so pleased to see of these games.

[@garyhentz3957]

Great Quality compared to video years ago

[@chrisdennehy9425]

this is great, nicely done!

[@jimmeasel1712]

Since it was Oakland against New York, Heidi started on NBC after the A's took the lead in the 11th

[@gregoryevans8179]

I see what you mean.

[@martincruz8319]

Because this game went extra innings, could it be possible that NBC was protesting the idea of a "future" 👻 runner (since it was October)? #PreemptiveStrike #YouCantScriptOctober

[@shandirocks]

This was Willie Mays last game

[@martincruz8319]

This will actually be the first time I've heard Lindsay Nelson calling a Mets game.

[@donpietruk1517]

One thing constant about baseball. Everyone always wants the manager canned when things go wrong. Been that way for over 100 years.

Notice the ballpark was a ballpark back then. Not an advertising billboard .

[@jamesm.3967]

Yeah but the owner and players were poorer. 😂

[@jaycompany4886]

The mets gave the athletics a good series maybe the toughest of their 3 peat.

[@brando7266]

It was their hardest one,they had to comeback from 3-2 down,

[@gregoryevans8179]

The only time in those 3 WS that they were behind (games) was against the Mets.

[@josephrocco2954]

2 things stand out: the crowd is awfully quiet, and the dirt is really dry and dusty.

[@rafaelramirez1507]

MLB in the '70s was magnificent , The Oakland A's were World Series Champions '72, '73, '74 ...., Cincinnati Reds in '75, '76 ...., New York Yankees in '77, '78 and not until the 90s were there another back to back WS champions .... like in '92, '93 Toronto Bluejays and the New York Yankees '98, '99, & 2000 🌟👍

[@rogeiocarmona4677]

Thank you great game

[@zcam1969]

Yogi Berra had 10 World Series Rings . the most of any player in history

[@sgnmath1234]

Has anyone ever seen a player choke up more than Millan ? As a matter of fact, choking up is not as common today as it used to be.

[@DavidDykes-dm9lc]

When James Augustus Hunter died, he still had shotgun pellets in his foot. RIP Catfish ❤

[@peterfelixjohnlieggi5459]

This was Yogi's second World Series as a manager he lost in 1964 with the Yankees in seven games and unfortunately lost in seven games almost exactly nine years later. His record as a manager in the post season is 9-10 not bad! At least he beat the Big Red Machine!

[@brando7266]

Yeah,but his incompetence cost the mets the world series, should have saved seaver for gm7,

[@jamesdavis6036]

​@@brando7266 Bravo! Excellent comment. When I was 12, I called that. I said to my friends when they pushed Seaver up to pitch game 6. I said "The mighty Oakland A's should be panicking. Why is Berra panicking? The Mets have George Stone who won a game against the Reds in the playoffs. He was 12-3 in the regular season with a 2.80 era. Why is he pitching Seaver on 3 days rest? If Stone loses game 6 they have Seaver for game 7. Here's a great player, Berra who supposed to know everything about pitcher's since he was a catcher. He singlehandedly LOSSED this W/S. An absolute loser as a manager. As you can tell, I never got over this.

[@glennharris8139]

Evenly matched, except for one glaring difference, that being a middle of the order power hitting run producer. Thank you Mets, for passing up on Reggie on the first pick of 1966 draft. One of the biggest blunders in the history of sport.

[@owensalter227]

To realise that the 74 world series was the last to be incomplete in the archive. Also mlb missed a lot of action through the years due to tapes being wiped. Anyway keep up the good work🙊🙉🙈👍

[@Scott-ly2nk]

Same with the nba

[@roadrules3671]

Life in general was ALOT better in those days; imo.

[@jsd795]

Baseball certainly was. Although I believe that 73 was the first year for the DH so I guess you would have to say that 73 was the start of the slippery slope that led to the crap show that Baseball is today.

[@doogboy]

WOW!

[@donaldleider7382]

I was in high school and went to all the games at Shea Stadium. Still pissed off, the Mets should’ve won this World Series!

[@KratostheThird]

On the flip side, I’m still mad the 1986 Red Sox didn’t win the series because Bill Buckner made a disastrous error in fielding.

[@gregoryevans8179]

Catfish got off to a rough start, but as great pitchers always do he settle down, and Seaver was a top 10 pitcher of all time. Have no idea how the Mets made it to the Series and could have won it, that lineup scared no one.

[@dannysullivan8929]

More like top 5 of all time.

[@miked6426]

Love these old games. Willie Mays was getting old by then. Tight division race in national league. Last place team was just 4 games out if i remember correctly

[@johnwells6846]

Great Memories

[@martinmasten4107]

Thanks

[@chasargent4354]

How strange that the television just ends before the game is over.

[@pheniafilmsthemlbarchiveso9229]

Youll have to take what you can in regards to complete games of any of the post season from cir 1973, just doesn’t exist never was saved by the networks or any kinescope versions..I’ve been searching for decades what I have up on this channel of “73 ..only the lame-ass Classic Sports version of Game 2 is out there but not an original broadcast version of so that don’t fly on this channel if I ever come across an original broadcast version of this game I’ll be happy to add this to the archives ⚾️

It was Amazing the Mets made it that far in 73 considering they finished the season 81-81

[@brianoneill7186]

82-79.

was wondering how the hell did the Mets beat the mighty Reds in the playoffs, thought for sure was gonna be a A's vs Reds WS rematch

[@michaelleroy9281]

Always love the colorful Finley era, he was a master showman with the uniform and cap variants as well actually paying by bonuses to his players that grew out their hair etc which even in the early 1970s was still a major taboo with the other teams

NBC obviously switched commentators back then. Monte of the Oakland A’s was with Curt Gowdy and Tony Kubek during the first two games of this series, offering both color commentary and play by play commentary. In the third game he is commenting on the radio.

[@Scott-ly2nk]

Man that sounds so strange the mets still got alot of pinch hitters he names them off and you hear mays as apinch hitter. Ol willie showed them how it was done in his time

[@donaldleider7382]

Reggie Jackson said that Tom Seaver was so good blind people came to the ballpark to hear him pitch!

[@b.t.2796]

Too many of these guys are dead now. It's just not right.

[@michaelleroy9281]

What did Tom Seaver pass away from?

Seaver's fastball was as straight as a trolley wire.

It was Curt. I loved Gowdy, he was great at announcing baseball and football.

The golden boy

[@jamesdavis6036]

Thanks to the person who put this game together!!! Thanks pal!!! Unfortunately the absolute loser Mets organization never saved the game when Seaver struck out 19 & the last 10 in a row. The worst organization in sports history from 1962 to present. I'm embarrassed to say I was once a Met fan.

[@martincruz8319]

Two things to clarify. (1) the Mets did win TWO Worlds Series championships (1969 and 1986), and (2) Tom Seaver did win that game (vs. San Diego in 1970) where he struck out 19 Padres, including the final 10 in a row (still a Major League record) as of this written post (5/21/2023).

[@kevinvanmeter2264]

Hunter would pitch at Shea Stadium the next year when he signed a huge contract by George Steinbrenner.

[@michaelmiller2397]

Rollie Finger throws smart pitches.

[@jaycompany4886]

Bando said he never played at shea, u don't hear that nowadays, every player in today's baseball has play in almost all stadiums, i like it this way were u only use to see the AL play the NL only in the asg or world series....good memories.

Met George Brett in 2003 or so. He was from El Segundo Ca. He was suprised that i knew Panamas bar. I ended up sying. Younever got to play in Wrigley Field? He was so sad that i brought that up. Yet i told him that the great thing about Growing up in Chicago was you could see both leagues. Southside park was a great place. Saw all the great Boston. KC. A's. Saw Carew. Who went 4 4 with just the fluck of wrist. Only New York had teams that close. Sorry. Giants and A' were close within a hour bot public transportatiin.

If the reds could have made some changes they could have played the a 's un 73 as well

Had to wait until Mr. October made that throw from right field to third base to confirm that 👍🏾 from me. (Powerful 💪🏾. Very surprised.)

[@VintageOnline100]

1:36:57 Solid promo for the NHL on NBC. have never seen that. They did sell the violence back then. But hockey was about 10X as vicious & violent compared to to what we see today. especially during the bloodbaths of the 1970s

[@jcalli66]

Good catch!

[@americangiant1003]

Was that the first season '73-'74 that NBC held for a brief couple of years the US NHL contract? As the mid '70's, it would not be until almost 30 years later before they would be the American home for the NHL. That is until the end of the 2021 COVID plagued season and Stanley Cup Finals.

[@martincruz8319]

​@@americangiant1003 I think that was the last season until after the NHL Lockout ended (2005-2006).

The A’s were so cool. If the Mets lost to someone else it would have seemed sad. Against the A’s it was just a good series. Was that way with everyone the A’s beat.

This was the turning point of the series.....They had hunter on the ropes....let him off the hook....and didnt score again....And Seaver couldnt hold the 2-0 lead even though he was dominant....as a matter of fact, seaver bring unable to beat the A's was the reason the mets lost....They it setup...got a split in Oakland and came home with their ace pitching ..and they lost....then went back to Oakland for game 6 with seaver again pitching.....lost....Other turning point ...when staub struck out on 3 pitches in the 8th inning of game 6 with runners at the corners and 1 out trailing 2-1...i think if staub drove in the tying run there the mets would've gotten them in 6.....
