Angels at Yankees - 7-25-1993 (End of Game - Comeback Win)

*Presented for historical purposes only*
Another bit of an old Yankees game from the archives - I always kept a blank tape in the VCR so if it looked like something exciting MIGHT happen, I would hit 'RECORD' to try and catch the fun part! This was one of those occasions. The Yankees were down 8-0 early to the Angels and chipped away, scoring an exciting 9th-inning comeback win, which I captured here. The Yankees were also coming back themselves with more glory days to come. Bobby Murcer and The Scooter, Phil Rizzuto with the call.

This was a great summer for me as a 14 year old yankee fan, as they finally started to emerge from the darkness. It definitely foreshadowed all the great comeback wins we’d see in ‘96.

[@johnfarel3152]

I was 13 and a huge fan as I still am. I recall it the same way.

[@seamhead23]

The spirit of 93! That’s when it all turned around.

[@justincapache5641]

Thanks for posting this. A great comeback win that nobody talks about. Don’t know why these type of games are never aired on Yankees classics on yes…. I remember watching this and the movie Men at work coming on after the game

[@giants6025]

I don’t know boys, but they look pretty God dam sweet to me!😂😂😂

Amazing how little advertising there is around the stadium

[@giants6025]

I remember this game, been looking for it forever. I only had the sports extra highlights I posted on my page. Thanks

Bobby called it, Polonia was playing too deep in left! Was watching this game with my grandfather when I was 12 Iike I did many a game back then! This was the pivotal year when the Yankees were just starting to turn the corner. The ‘94 strike still infuriated me because I really thought that was gonna be Donnie’s year!

[@wesleyturner1979]

Ya how could they not be good with Don and Boggs on the same team! Power book ends!

[@scottkoziara6434]

was watching this game live on a sunday afternoon!

[@PopuluxeApocalypse]

I was there as a 12 year old sitting in the loge level down the 3rd base line. When Chili Davis hit that bomb early on we were convinced the game was over. Little did we know! This game will always stand out in my mind. Great times with the extended family-some of whom are no longer with us ❤😢

[@PeteRFNY]

I'm glad I could bring back that memory for you...I had the same experience watching a game I'd been at with my Dad that someone else posted, which is what gave me the urge to start posting some of MY old stuff, too.I concur, this comeback was a surprise bit of fun!

Miss these 90 s Yankees teams 93 was when it all turned around and 3 years later they won the world series in 1996

[@MOE435]

The 90's were the good ole Yankee days!

[@PeteRFNY]

@@MOE435 You could feel the tide turning, finally!

[@epaddon]

This particular game in 93 I think really signaled that the Yankees at last were back after those four horrible sub-500 years of 89-92 and before that the frustrating underachieving years of the 80s. Though they came up short in 93 and had to wait until 96 to finally end the long championship drought, this was the summer it became fun to be a Yankee fan again and we wrested the city back from the Mets (and haven't let go of it since).

[@mr.perksy]

Murcer and Rizzuto were the best

[@PeteRFNY]

AND we have proof that Phil DID stay until the end of the game - SOMETIMES! 😄

[@robbarbieri8676]

​@@PeteRFNYCora must have been away visiting the grandkids, because Phil was usually well over the GWB by this time 😊😊!

[@Salvatore1268]

I was also at this game, it was such a great day no one gave up on them,

[@robbarbieri8676]

Watching this, two things strike me. One, this Yankee team set the record for spending the most days in flat-footed ties for first (18) without ever being in first by themselves. I kept thinking that if they could just get ahead of the Jays, they'd pull away, but it never happened. Two: the fact that the Angels had a couple of players who would go on to help us win World Series, Polonia and C. Davis.

[@Flussig1]

Sure do miss the WPIX days.

[@greghughes8147]

Now you got the Roku, Yes, Prime, Apple, and probably some other paid apps I'm forgetting. No dime left uncollected

[@wiltongeorge8524]

I remember watching the game with my father!

[@gforce97]

Buck Showalter hasn't aged at all in 30 years lol

[@vdoggydogg3922]

he never looked young either.

[@gforce97]

@@vdoggydogg3922 people back then looked old for their age

[@jeffreydesmarais9829]

Awesome!

[@wesleyturner1979]

Very odd looking back seeing some else in a Yankee uniform with a 2 on their back. Mike was pretty good though!

[@robbarbieri8676]

@justinjoseph6966...I'm pretty sure Bobby was talking about the third baseman still playing too deep, as he and Phil were discussing the possibility of a bunt. I, too, was pissed off about '94. I remember a great column Mike Lupica wrote in the Daily News that fall, describing what the Stadium should have looked like for the postseason. Then he wrote how Donny sat in his driveway at his house in Terre Haute and sobbed when he got word the season was cancelled. Got to admit, I cried too, just reading it.

I was there!

Playing "we're not gonna take it" after wins needs to come back again.
