2019 World Series Game 7: Howie Kendrick go-ahead home run (MLB International)

Matt Vasgersian/Buck Martinez on the call

[@jarryd8167]

Remember when Howie Kendrick saved baseball?

[@chrispearce6793]

I still come here to shift gears.

[@austinrodriguez4272]

Literally 😅

[@yuichi_ha_kushy]

That CLANG! hitting the foul pole is iconic

[@disposablehero43]

it cancelled out the trash can. right where it was born. the baseball gods are real. they have a sense of poetry.

We don’t bang trash cans, we bang foul posts

Nats cheated in the 2019 WS Every time you hear a foul pole clang, it means the hit was a home run Unbelievable that the nats got away with it

[@SuperJuniorquintero]

The car racing celebration at the end had me rolling.

[@garfieldfarkle]

Howie and Eaton did it all season and it is still fresh and enjoyable

It was the dopest shit ever bro i miss it with all of my heart id give souch to relive 2018-2019 DC was ..it'll never be like that again

[@brianwymer7812]

the most aggressive home run in Nats history

[@vegasknights4125]

Biggest

[@Karmy.]

I return to this often just to hear that beautiful clang off the foul pole

[@patrick4662]

What a crazy seven game series. Pimped HRs, home teams losing every game, close games and blowouts, controversy with the whole Trea turner play… and a first time champion. It was a great series.

[@Jpurihella]

Howard Joseph Kendrick III is a hero to all Nats fans. I love him

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

*baseball fans. Slayed those cheating fucksticks from Houston.

[@Jpurihella]

@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 I know man, I will always cherish that series and that season

[@dino988]

As a Yankee fan, I also love Kendrick for this homerun. One of the biggest homeruns in World Series history

[@drewvandenburg4958]

Joe buck literally sounded disappointed in his call

[@thetwostoogiesofficial7442]

where is my santa monia

[@eddiejc1]

@@drewvandenburg4958 At the very least, he sounded surprised and taken off guard----like he was already anticipating Gerrit Cole to come in and save an Astros win, and he wasn't prepared to switch gears. They were also stunned that Cole was not brought in when the Nats began to increase their lead, but to be perfectly honest, so was I. The announcer here didn't have a script in his head and his reaction was perfect.

[@eamonkelley3811]

One of the most clutch home runs in baseball history.

[@chrisk1607]

This clip gets replayed in my head couple times a day. Greatest moment in the Nationals history!

[@fishbone3333]

That was a good pitch by Harris....Kendrick just went and got it.

[@alexo277]

Thank you nats for beating the cheaters

[@Fast_Editzz]

Your welcome 😁

[@rapidcounty]

fuck the nats. but nobody likes a cheater. so kudos

[@clipobserver]

Fitting the home run caused a banging sound against the Astros.

[@donutboi6187]

Kendrick in the CHAMPIONSHIP series against the Dodgers Sure Sure

[@plzcallmed9070]

I think he meant in the NLDS but still a big moment Nontheless

[@walterlv01]

Amazing how the franchise that was known for years as the least-clutch team in baseball all of a sudden became late-inning demons in the 2019 postseason.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

Harper effect.

[@nbadude1408]

It was because of bad managers like Dusty Bake and Bryce Harper

[@bignov5173]

The camera flipping between Harris regretting every decision he ever made that led him here and Howie dancing to an improvised drum beat is already incredible. When you factor in every fan’s heart breaking at once and the entire crowd falling into a depressive silence so deep that half the stadium could hear Kendrick and Eaton driving the bang bus into baseball immortality and this becomes the funniest baseball moment of all time.

[@carlosinda3553]

His celebration with Eaton always make me laugh 😂

[@kabalabonga1452]

Saw one comment about it on another thread -from an Astros fan, of all people-complaining about how that private dugout celebration was “making a mockery of the game”.

[@garfieldfarkle]

Howie's Clang Homer is the greatest hit in Nationals' history. We just knew we were going to win and just knew we had the game and the trophy when that ball clanged off the foul pole. I'm an old retired guy now who first went to Senators games at old D.C. stadium when it was new. Year after year they finished in last, except once in '69 when Ted Williams pushed, pulled and yanked the Senators up to a 4th place division finish. About the time I started shaving, the evil Bob Short took our team to Texas, and a 33-year drought began. In that time I went to college, got married and divorced, started a company and shut it down and had gray hair coming in. We didn't know it would take that long, and rejoicing began when we got the Expos. We didn't care they were lousy, it was a return of major league baseball and damned if the same happy, smiling, good-natured fan base hadn't survived! Mike Rizzo began working his GM magic in 2009 and in 2012 our gaudy 98-win season was a shock - a delightful shock and a venture into unseen territory.- Thence began an 8 year run in which only the Dodgers won more games and didn't get a parade. Howie's Clang Homer, the one Soto put on the railroad tracks at Minute Maid, Stud Hoss Stras one of only 3 pitchers to win 5 playoff games, with the third-best post-season walk-strikeout ratio, going 8-2/3 he-man innings for the win in Game 6 and a career 1.46 post-season ERA, and the only pitcher drafted number one overall to win a World Series MVP for the team that drafted him - - - - andandand arguably the greatest hot streak in MLB history was somwething I never dreamed possible. It still seems like a dream. They started the season 19-31, and didn't win a series until late May. Great experiences like that are so rare in life, and I'm thrilled to finally have experienced it, even thougfh it didn't happen until after I'd retired.

[@OGSpacely555]

Adam Eaton with the gear shifts

Still waiting for "SANTA MARIA!!!"....

It’s not a Matty V call without it.

He forgot to say it! It was very epic!

[@seagreg1]

God this team was so fun this still brings me so much joy (its 2024 now) - nats fan forever

[@eddiejc1]

So THIS is what people overseas got to listen to in English instead of Joe Buck? I think baseball fans might want to start applying for a new passport.

[@jmramos0109]

Yes

[@BeerCanDan93]

Edward J. Cunningham nice clean picture too unlike fuzzy fox

[@whywelovefilm7079]

Eww no. Matt Vasgersian is so annoying. Joe Buck is an iconic Broadcaster. Literally the voice of the World Series. Plus him and Troy Aikman are the voices of NFL on FOX.

[@MattCProductions_]

Why We Love Film if you listen to Bucks World Series calls, most of them are lifeless. He’s gotten better from 2016 on, but listening to basically the whole decade of 2010’s calls is sad because he seems to hold back emotion and passion. I wish he called big plays like he did with Stefan Diggs in the Minneapolis Miracle.

[@whywelovefilm7079]

@@MattCProductions_ Yeah I'll give you that. He definitely lacks emotion. I really like Gus Johnson too. He does College Football on FOX with Joel Klatt. Those two are my favorite...

[@TheLuscious]

That sounded like a garbage can too! Except that was karma hitting the foul pole

[@macthepatriot3474]

John Emmanuel Ramos-Henderson wish we got this. The picture and broadcast are so much better than Fox and Buck

[@ATXviIIIe]

Why, why, WHY can't Matt Vasgersian call the national MLB broadcasts? Joe Buck is like if Rob Manfred was a sports commentator.
