Baseball’s Biggest VILLAIN

[@AndThatsBaseball]

PART 2 HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl6senl-rtSjbNE

[@Glennsword.]

Kevin M. is my “big brother”. I am from SD also played baseball and told me to stay in school. He is not a villain..

[@alexmanne]

Wow, Kevin Mitchell. I forgot about that guy all these years and how good he was. I met him as a kid when I lived in NY. I remember him being nice. These videos are really well done. Thanks.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@jeffarmfield2346]

This man's granny sounds like an amazing person, and I'm glad he at least had the sense to listen to her even if he didn't listen to anyone else. She single-handedly kept this man's life on track multiple times.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Yessir. Great family/friends can be the difference between fulfilled and wasted potential.

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

I was 14 years old at Shea Stadium for Game 6 (and 7) in 1986. When Stanley threw the wild pitch, the stadium was shaking so much I thought it might collapse. And everyone in the park KNEW the Mets would win as soon as the ball got past Gedman

[@AndThatsBaseball]

It really is unfair what Buckner had to go through after that game. They already choked before that play, his misplay just sealed the deal.

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

@@AndThatsBaseball I agree. Buckner was a really good player. Not a Hall of Famer, but firmly in the "Hall of the Very Good" And once that Mets team tied the game, there was no way they were going to lose it. Even if Mookie struck out to end the inning. The Mets were winning that game. That Met team had a killer instinct. If you gave them the opportunity they'd go straight for the jugular.

He needs to find an identity that isn't Secret Base. The videos are fantastic but that's the one thing holding him back.

[@Alexander_Grant]

Came here after your Angels video, I'm sure you've heard this before, but you'll blow up soon. This is next level content, it feels like a mixture of Emplemon and Jon Bois without some of the polish right now. That's not necessarily a bad thing, and I wish I had more insightful and concrete constructive criticism, but I'm excited the rest of your stuff, it's still amazing stuff.

Yeah I always thought the wild pitch earlier in the at bat was more important than Buckner, but the win percentage going from 80 to 40% really makes it clear.

[@bradhorowitz2765]

you know popular opinions i think are often very wrong. Mitchell, from your video, had a rough upbringing, a rags to riches life, sure he was aggressive but it could have been worse and he seems to be a nice guy. but nope, everyone exaggerated his life. we NEED a villain, and mitchell unfairly got that role. and it begs the question, how much was it due to racism. doc and darryl mention some of the stuff they faced in interviews, and then lenny Dykstra has been allowed to stay in baseball depsite his worse character.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

1000%, that’s kind of why I wanted to make this series. Mitchell was a scapegoat on more than one of his teams. Sometimes he wasn’t the best teammate or the hardest worker, but based on all the research I’ve done, he’s a good guy who found a way to be great even tho he originated in an incredibly difficult spot. Sports writers need villains, and he ended up being one, probably because of racism and assumptions, and I’ll dig into that more in part 2.

[@jirky015]

Racism? Dude, chill out. Gooden and Strawberry perpetuated the exaggerated stories!! haha. So no, it was not racism. 🙄

[@unkledoda420]

The Jon Bois/Secret Base influence is way too strong. Kinda comes across as a blatant ripoff of their style. Having influences is great but you gotta develop your own style too.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

I didn't think this video in particular was a ripoff of Jon. Just because it uses google earth doesn't mean it's the same type of video. I have definitely ripped off his style on this channel plenty, but I don't agree with that criticism for this vid in particular.
