1998 - Best Year in Baseball

[@TheBricksAndIvyArchive]

8:25 - It’s Angel Hernandez, being Angel Hernandez.

[@metop33]

26 years later, he’s still pulling the same bullshit! Unbelievable!!

[@TheBricksAndIvyArchive]

16:04 - Mike Ditka sings take me out to the ballgame in record time. It never gets old.

[@byronherrera777]

Probably had a series of mishaps getting there to the ballpark late 😂

[@jeffyeaple6679]

@@futuregohan4837 Where did you hear that?

[@LaMostraVia]

8:50 wow Hernandez really has been a terribly umpire his entire career 😮

[@bmwrules28]

Oh man this was the real Baseball tonight!!! Check out the Brave/Met game highlights starting at 7:34 with the background music!! This was exactly the reason to watch this show! Also the Expo/Marlin game at 23:50 with the background music was awesome! Thanks for the upload!! This is quality baseball highlights!

Any site where I can download or find a list of baseball tonight in-game music from 1997-2001. They had alot of themes from wrestling

[@mattmendoza3853]

12:50 - Dan Castalaneta (Homer Simpson) doing a Groundskeeper Willie type voice

[@dukedematteo1995]

Clemens was so sick in Toronto. I still don't understand why he went there when the Yankees matched Toronto's offer and the hometown Astros made a decent offer as well. A weird, insanely dominant two year stop north of the border for Clemens. Clemens personally claims the last year in Boston and the two Toronto years was the best stretch of his career bc he still had a high velocity fastball and by then perfected the splitter.

Today is the *21* year anniversary of when this episode aired on TV. 🤓 EDIT- 3:40 P.M.: *finishes video 27 minutes later* This was the third retro episode of Baseball Tonight that I watched. The first two were the May 30, 1996 and May 27, 2000 episodes.

[@dukedematteo1995]

Wow Angel Hernandez was awful even back then..

[@DNSKansas]

The Atlanta heat and humidity scrambles umpires' brains. Jerry Meals fucked up just like Angel 13 years later.

[@joe6096]

18:57 Hey OP - are you from Cleveland? Looks like this recording is from a feed out of the Cleveland OH area, my home town! I know exactly where those Mullinax Ford locations were!! The voice over for those commercials was Jim Mueller, long-time voice of the Browns in the 70s and early 80s, who just passed away a couple weeks ago. Man this actually makes me sad to watch this. Because it's when both ESPN and Major League Baseball were awesome. My Cleveland INDIANS were beasts and the league knew how to promote their stars. Not only did I watch every second of every Indians game, I loved watching baseball in general and always caught Baseball Tonight before bed. MLB and ESPN both suck today. Both are almost completely unwatchable. ESPN IS unwatchable. Politics ruin everything.

8:20 regular franco blowing a game against the braves

[@noahbise8452]

got any baseball tonights from 2000?

[@StFidjnr]

and 2001 with the cgi screaming baseball

[@YaowBucketHEAD]

I thought that call in the Mets-Braves game was terrible, and no surprise, it's Angel Hernandez. If I told anyone that 25 years later that Angel would still be on the field being an absolutely horrible umpire and generally awful human being, nobody would believe me probably. 😆

[@TheRightone177]

What's the theme at 5:22?

[@blobulous3500]

dont get why clemens signed with blue jays over a contender such as the mariners or indians. well i guess he got traded to the yankees later in his career

[@dukedematteo1995]

Awesome clips...I lived 90s baseball and didnt and still dont give a shit about steroids....so overrated.
