I started a Patreon page to better find and purchase old VHS videos on EBAY and other websites, as well as at garage sales and other locations that might have VHS available, so I can upload them for all to see and share for free.

these commercials so nostalgic

[@brandonjones9998]

The golden years of MLB! 1990 into the 2000s

[@RA-VEN8]

Buhner was a beast.

[@potentially__9445]

Berman was on McGwire’s nuts HARDCORE!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to see Barry beat him.

[@coinbuyer-8605]

38:24 Boomer says Barry Bonds seems very serious. Very serious at making a run at 500 home runs. It is interesting to see how the comments about the players back then during these home run derbies. Some outperform predictions, some are right on the money, many fall short of the promise they seemed to have showed.

[@kingdylan1618]

Little did he know he’d do that plus 262 more

[@jakethewatersnake]

756 was the goal!

[@mikelikesbama]

Man I miss hearing Joe Morgan

[@jacobrichardson1952]

We all do.. He was my favorite voice on ESPN since 2001.

[@mikelikesbama]

@@jacobrichardson1952 RIP. I'm glad we have these videos at least.

[@jacobrichardson1952]

@@mikelikesbama 😔 it's tough to say goodbye.

[@mikelikesbama]

@@jacobrichardson1952 it is. This one messed me up pretty good. I went back watched his old big red machine days recently. I had no idea he was the best 2B of all time....That dude lived an awesome life

[@jacobrichardson1952]

@@mikelikesbama i sure do like his Hall of fame speech, working on NBC Sports with Bob Costas and yes ESPN with Jon Miller.

[@toptenguy1]

Joe Carter is so damn likeable that even the Phily fans forgave him and had fun with him, despite him ripping their hearts out 3 years earlier. :)

[@calinator51]

Seeing the Batman and Robin promo threw me off for a second but I remembered im watching a replay of the 96 HRD that aired as a replay in 97 with quite a few commercials about 97.

[@tintin025]

Thank You for posting 90's Home Run Derby's man! :)

[@kennethpaulley6436]

I love seeing all these older commercials awesome

[@robertsoto8556]

Back when ESPN didn't promote politics.

[@ajjonez5354]

You post the best stuff.. Great memories.. Thank u!

[@trentf4891]

I've noticed barry bonds is always supportive and flattering of his opponents. Not an ounce of jealousy in any situation I've seen. Maybe it was the sports media that was the real problem all along.

[@paulnettles9109]

He usually plays nice for the camera, it's the clubhouse, team plane, hotels, and buses where he's a prick.

[@user-cf3vr5mi5h]

That bat flip was so hard

[@hectorfoncerrada698]

Thank You So Much Tom Bombadil for these AWESOME BASEBALL VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!

[@joeryan82]

These are great uploads.

[@pureblood3388]

Just a couple of good hitters here. Classic.

[@tynao2029]

went to this with my brother, cousin and Mom when I was 7. It was extremely hot that day

[@stephanietirado7199]

That first home run. Damn it was good

[@metaphoria3]

Bonds is so humble and sweet like fr

[@gabrielacosta456]

Como llegué a este video? cuarentena!

[@user-cf3vr5mi5h]

Bonds is G.O.A.T hands down no debate

[@jacobrichardson1952]

As an old soul person this is gold.

[@robertanderson2898]

Of all the 10 hitters, only Bagwell made the Hall of Fame.

[@rstevens1836]

52:18 Jim Gaffigan?!

[@SummervilleTax]

49:05 May be out of Yellow Stone Park.

[@omarbaca3435]

20:41 Hahaha…if he only knew what was coming

[@jobywills3619]

This pitcher is blowing me. What is he trying to get a look on the mound? At the HRD? He making all the throws. But he's rushing it and he's not always placing the ball right where they need it. They should probably use a machine like at the cages.

[@omarbaca3435]

40:15…what you’re all here to see

[@DonP83]

"Barry Bonds not that big" lol

[@blakerosspodcast5737]

I'm just trying to catch up before this year's home run Derby

[@derricklayman227]

i wish the tv ads were took out

[@robertanderson2898]

Still entertaining to watch even though we know who wins (the die-hard fans). 43 hitters had 30+ Homers in '96, the new record WAS 47 set in 2000, until 2019, when 58 players did it!

[@LaMostraVia]

3:09 look at this guy

[@colinbarrett5120]

bonds looks so jealous at Big Mac

[@omarbaca3435]

He alway was…as impressive as 73 home runs in a season is, Bonds record was not as exiting and beloved as McGwire’s. Bonds was feared as a hitter, but McGwire was loved

[@GroovyBabyYeah]

Wish Brady would’ve won for us O’s fans, something we could’ve won lol

[@stephanietirado7199]

The first home run by joe carter

[@trent6729]

Commercials were more entertaining than the derby lol

[@KeepItFresh02]

jeff bagpipes bagwell

[@resurection96]

Philly❤

[@bodacious117]

Normal size bonds barely missing in 96 equals warning track power, bonds barely missing in 2001 equals 400 plus feet, yeah steroids don’t help that much 🙄

[@jobywills3619]

This was before his roid accusations. BB is just a slugger hands down.

[@donaldspring8408]

Amen.. skinny, clean Bonds beat a juiced up McGwire here. Incredible

[@colinbarrett5120]

Amazing, early steriod era

[@jakeschleeve9205]

The amount of steroids in this derby 😮

[@alexbangalter]

BONDS WON WITH ROIDS

[@dontrellmayfieldjr2868]

1996 that is before that...

[@rlouie05]

Guess McGwire was competing on meat, potatoes & milk in your view?

[@JohnCena-jb4yw]

Wasn’t on roids here smart guy

[@donaldspring8408]

This was 3 years before the roids you moron
