1983-04-09 NBC GOW - Expos at Dodgers

[@peterholden6388]

RIP - Watch this one and remember Vin, and all that he gave to baseball and all of us

[@ericspero996]

The pregame show and the entire game with all the commercials- great walk down memory lane with the best MLB broadcast team of all time! Thank you for posting

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

Serious question: I was born in Seattle in 1973. Anywhere in this, is there a power line PSA "Don't put yourself on the line?" Sounds like it wasn't specific to Seattle. Maybe, just maybe, in 1982-1984, you remember seeing that commercial? Although, you may be much younger than me, watching a gem throwback broadcast.

[@SoFLDawg]

Doesn’t get any better than Vin Scully ⚾️

[@jbrone1965]

"Let's take time out from this triple play to talk about Farmer Dan's Pure Pork sausages mmmm hmmm!"

[@turtle19dad]

Yeah and to hear Joe describe how he would pitch certain hitters during different counts. Insight into the brilliant mind of a catcher.

[@TMC1982Part2]

Ray Charles once told Bob Costas that Vin Scully's style of broadcasting baseball was almost musical. And come to think of it, I kind of get it. Vin always on air, spoke very eloquently and there was a certain class and elegance with the way that he carried and presented himself. And he had that smooth, high tenor, dulcet speaking voice. He didn't really need to scream or raise his voice too much to get his point across or to keep you engaged.

[@williamdunphy352]

Vin Scully's first NBC telecast.

[@Porter4213]

Love the commercials makes this even more authentic!!! Great job! Your channel is awesome I’m glad I found you again after you changed it

[@rightondude]

It was awesome til he allowed commercials from youtube.

[@SoFLDawg]

The Suzuki commercial towards the beginning is so 80’s love it

[@mrg8581]

Rest in peace Tom Lasorda. 16:17

[@VolumedMusicMan]

It’s hard to believe that the Expos never put it together for more success. They had great core players.

[@DrunkenSlob]

They couldn’t recover from 81

[@orvillemeadows3492]

They had cheap owners

[@BookClubDisaster]

I want to see that Different Strokes and Silver Spoons doubleheader.

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

0:00 I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. I know that people age and/or get sick, but seeing how young, healthy, and clear-speaking Siskel is, is very saddening, because of how much he slowed down at the end, from his illnesses.

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

27:00 It's funny that they always show the clip of Welch striking Reggie out, but they forget that Reggie absolutely crushed a HR off Welch in the deciding Game 6 of that series.

[@MarkAJohnsonEDLDFall]

The Nationals (Expos) returned the favor to the Dodgers in 2019 and went on to win the World Series.

[@Hallrk63]

Thanks for posting. Dodgers ended up outhitting the Expos in this games despite not getting at hit until the 6th. Not much of a game but it is always good to hear Vin and Joe.

[@marco19723]

A year later , NBC would change the Intro for the game of the week.

[@LogoMan7777]

1:32 - So nice to see Mike Adamle alive and well, before his football injuries began to affect him.

[@mariepavlov9144]

NBC Sports Major League Baseball Game of the Week, Montreal Expos at Los Angeles Dodgers, April 9, 1983 Vin Scully (PBP) & Joe Garagiola (C) The NBC station where I live in (WFMJ-TV 21, Youngstown, Ohio) had this game.

[@coreylevine8095]

38 years later both the Dodgers and expos now nationals have World series rings

[@ml5955]

Trading Garvey and Cey was a big mistake. Those two still had 3-4 solid years in them as was proven with there time in Chicago and San Diego. As a young Dodger fan at the time I was so bummed they got traded. Brock was no Garvey, and although I liked Marsha he was not as valuable as Cey. Both were long in the tooth, but they still had a lot to offer as the senior ball players on the team along with Russel.

[@douglaslowe5]

my mom and dad were at this game (and they didnt take me, lol)

[@Nickrj3]

Amazing the Dodgers won the division in 1983 without Garvey or Cey.

[@MikerodRod]

With Garvey and Cey they would've beaten Philadelphia and perhaps even Baltimore in the World Series.

[@VolumedMusicMan]

Great managing by Tommy Lasorda... Also it doesn’t hurt if one had Bob Welch and Fernando Valenzuela.

[@michaelbanaszak7775]

1983 was Tommy Lasorda's greatest managing job!

[@Slinger43]

Never should have let Garvey-Lopes-Cey go!

[@videonut1988]

Aired on WPTZ in Plattsburgh NY (now known as NBC5, despite being owned by HearstArgyle)

[@davidpridham3741]

Basically, WPTZ was the closest NBC affiliate to the Montreal urban area of over 3 million. For a period of time in 70s WPTZ in tiny Burlington VT was the only/default NBC option for cable TV viewers in Montreal , ottawa and Quebec City. They had a potential Canadian audience of 5 or 6 million. They would air expos over Red Sox games for obvious $ reasons.

[@videonut1988]

1:32 Pre-“American Gladiators” Mike Adamle...

[@glennlaird2899]

1983 was the last season that the old blackout restrictions were in place. Thus, this telecast did not air in Los Angeles. However, due to a technical glitch we saw it just long enough to watch MIKE MARSHALL get hit in the head.

[@ajk]

They were doing local restrictions as late as 1983?? That's INSANE. Wow.

[@goatmouthjones90]

I went to this game damn I'm an old bastard

[@omarimack194]

Very informative pregame including the WS and LCS and ASG plans which did come to fruition. And the mention of Jim Eisenreich, although his Tourette’s was not named and he did come back to playing baseball.

[@turtle19dad]

93 WS for Philly.

[@brettshepherd5240]

I was at this game and the pa announcer called scioscia called steve Scioscia

[@fatfreddyscat5767]

PA at Dodger Stadium that year was Nick Nickson. He's been an LA Kings radio play by play guy for 30 years, still is.

[@davidb5728]

what a shame NBC did indeed lose baseball after 1989..they broke up garagiola and kubek for scully coming on board nationally.. and pedro guerreo had to be one of the worst fielders in history, the dodgers tried hiding him everywhere and he was just so bad

[@essentialeugene]

David also in 1988 Joe Garagiola could not renew his contract and Tom Seaver took his place. ABC also lost baseball after 1989 as well. I was upset at this as well. However NBC and ABC returned to baseball in 1994 with ``The Baseball Network.'' However it ended after two years. ABC did not renew their baseball contract but NBC stayed on but on a limited basis. The second contract ran from 1996-2000.

[@kevinmiller6324]

If this were a 1957 contest, I can just imagine Vin Scully saying, Good afternoon, everyone! This is Vin Scully, along with Jerry Doggett and Al Helfer, and here we are, at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, about to bring you the Dodgers and the Montreal Expos. Of course, we all know that by the time the Expos came into existence the Dodgers were playing their 12th season in Hollywood.

[@sha9infinite450]

Growing up on NBC and ABC baseball, it was tough accepting CBS doing the games. Didn’t sound or look right. No disrespect to Jim kaat, Jack Buck, etc.

[@ajk]

@@essentialeugene NBC only would do playoff, All Star and World Series games (the latter two in even and odd numbered years respectively, with Fox having them in the other years) from 1996 to 2000 it should be noted. No regular season games were a part of the limited contract.

[@tommyparkerparker]

I wish that Vin could have called some NFL telecasts for NBC.

[@kristopherversteegt2939]

1:04, 4:47, 14:27, 16:09, 17:08, 17:12, 3:10:05 - 30 Rock (NOT RELATED TO THE 2006-2013 SITCOM)

[@marco19723]

It's a shame that CBS and Fox killed baseball.

[@turtle19dad]

Yeah, I hate the Fox "canned broadcasts."

[@darwinblinks]

Joe was right about the Phillies and Tony was right about White Sox and Orioles

[@phillipmorales8886]

I miss the GOW on NBC! Saturday baseball on Fox sucks! Nobody watches it hardly!

[@gabeh7923]

Is this the first GOW Vin and Joe did together?

[@CutterHistorical]

I was -2 on this day

[@rjpsuh06]

Napoleon Dynamite as a wife beater gave me chills.

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

Is this the game where a Dodger player got inadvertently hit on the head by a pitch?

[@StFidjnr]
