British Soccer fan reacts to American Sports (Baseball) - MLB Craziest/Loudest Crowd Reactions

[@michaeljvirginelli2794]

Finally I’ve been waiting for you to make this video. I’ll explain some of your questions: 1)The home and away fans: the crowd is mixed, there is no specific spot for home or away fans, they share the stadium. 2) The rules: when a player hits the ball, he can run to any of the bases, going from first, second, third, and home. Every time a player steps on home, their team gets a point, or a “run” in baseball terms. 3) Home runs: When a player hits the ball into the stands in fair territory, it’s called a home run. This means the hitter and everyone else on base can score. 4) Basic rules: if the batter hits the ball and it’s caught by a fielder before it hits the ground, it’s an out. If he hits the ball on the ground, the fielder can throw the ball to first base. If the ball gets to first base before the batter, he’s out. There are 3 outs per half inning. After 3 outs, the other team has the chance to score. There are 9 innings in a game. If the game is tied after the ninth inning, it goes into extra innings until someone wins. If the home team takes the lead in the ninth inning or on, it’s called a walk-off win. That’s when the crowd goes crazy a lot in the video. 5) Pitchers: the pitcher is the one who throws the ball to the hitter. If he throws the ball inside the “strike zone” it’s a strike. If not, it’s called a ball. The Umpire decides if it’s a strike or ball. If he throws the ball and the hitter swings and misses, it’s a strike too. If the batter hits it, and the ball goes into foul territory, it’s a foul ball and a strike. Three strikes is a strike-out, and four balls is a walk, where the batter goes to first base for free. You can’t strike out on a foul ball. 5) Reaction suggestions: -Nastiest pitches in baseball (some pitchers throw the ball 100+ miles per hour, with a foot of vertical or horizontal movement!) -Longest home runs in MLB history (some have been farther than 500 feet) -Craziest plays in MLB history -most emotional moments in MLB history I hope you see this and find it useful. I hope it helps you understand the game I love.

[@ryangryglewicz4274]

I Has 3 Cray0ns However it depends on the situation. Take the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays for instance, the Red Sox are 118 years old and the rays are 21 years old. Since the rays are in Florida lots of Red Sox fans will travel down to Florida for vacation and will see their favorite team the Red Sox. Watch highlights from a Red Sox Rays game and I am sure you will see a sea of red unless it is the playoffs. Also St Petersburg Florida is far away from Tampa so that is also another reason why people don’t come. Also for other teams it is due to Geography like the Toronto Blue Jays fans dominating Seattle Mariners games when they are in town because the vancouver people are closer to Seattle than Toronto.

[@TheChosennn]

Ben J. Riepe I’d disagree with that at least now. Now everyone is hitting homeruns, there’s a lot more offense and more action. Also, where there is a no hitter, it’s exciting and stressful for the entire game until the no hitter gets broken up

[@BMK500]

baseball playoffs go like this in this order: AL Wild Card NL Wild Card (win or go home) ALDS NLDS (best of 5) ALCS NLCS (best of 7) World Series (Best of 7) Major Leauge baseball is split between two leagues the (American league and the National league) the winners of the ALDS and NLDS play for the ALCS and NLCS, the winners from those series play for the world series. All of these reactions are late in the game or huge game-changing moments at home teams stadium hence why the crowd goes insane. the build-up from the game and playoff baseball produces some of the most dramatic moments in sports.

Up til 1984 the fans used to storm onto the field after a world series win. Imagine 10's of thousands of people just tearing up the field. I think the longest ball hit was Babe Ruth at over 600 feet out of the stadium and yeah from time to time balls are hit completely out of the stadium. Yes, you can stand up. And the world series is a 4 out of 7 game series that determines who is champions that year. And yes, anyone can come to any game so yes you can go watch your team play in another city. Be careful because sometimes fights can break out due to that. And yes, many people have been injured by balls hitting them. One guy a few years ago reached for a ball and fell from the upper deck and died while his young son watched. Some times it gets really crazy like in 1984 after the Detroit Tigers won the world series people by the thousands were outside of the stadium turning over cars including a police car that I think got set on fire.

That second one was the Arizona Diamondbacks coming from behind against the greatest closer (a pitcher who comes in when the team is ahead in the last part of the game to 'close' the game) in the history of baseball to win Game 7 of the World Series, and thereby win the World Series. So... a comeback against one of the greatest pitchers who ever lived... the only player ever elected unanimously to the hall of fame... to win the World Championship... against the greatest dynasty in sports, the New York Yankees.

[@mypenisisunbelievablysmall6491]

To answer all the questions I heard him discuss : A homerun is when the ball makes it over the outfield fence inside fair territory on the fly. Certain stadiums have rules of which part of the wall is considered a homerun or not. Fans do get hit with baseballs every game. Most are ok and suffer minor injuries. Some are not as fortunate, such as a little kid who was struck by a line drive in foul territory and had to be rushed to the ER. All stadiums have protective netting going from behind the plate to the dugouts, if not further. On average, a fastball is thrown between 90-100 miles per hour. Different pitches travel at different speeds, and curve/drop more than others. The ball’s exit velocity is determined by the force generated behind the hit and how well you square it up. If it barely catches the bat or breaks the bat it’s going to be a weak hit 99% of the time. If you square it up though, MLB players hardest hits come in around 120+ mph. The league average though is around 90 mph. And yes, pitchers get hit with comebackers and suffer season ending injuries. Batters do get hit and can suffer season ending injuries. It’s a dangerous, fun, and exhilarating sport that isn’t just a sport you can play with no talent. Learning how to hit a ball has yet to be perfected, and never will be. If you get a hit 3/10 times you will be one of the higher paid players in the game. I think the advanced stats are what are drawing people away from the game

[@latrellsprewell653]

El Papusador Weedle yea I’m not judging him. Since he doesn’t know anything about baseball, but it’s funny how he described a home run as going out of bounds because nobody in America says that😂

[@kleshreen]

I love your reactions to this! It is enlightening seeing someone not familiar with a sport react to videos of it. I assume I would be the same way if I was watching cricket or rugby, haha. I saw some people answer your questions about home/away fans and all that. Usually, the crowd is probably about 95% home team fans in most games. There are some exceptions for the bigger/more popular teams like the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, or Chicago Cubs. They have more of a nation-wide fanbase, so they have a good amount of fans at away games, too. I know you were questioning how to interpret some of the reactions in terms of gravity. The "World Series" is the final series of the year, which crowns the champion. So when you see or hear that, it is the biggest series possible. The World Series is a best-of-7, so the first team to win 4 games in the series, wins the championship. So when you could see in the corner that the series was "Tied 2-2", that means they are playing in game five, and the team that wins is going up 3-2 in the series and needs to win only one more to win the championship. "Game 7" is a very important phrase in American sports lexicon, because baseball, hockey, and basketball are all a best-of-7 championship series, and when there is a "Game 7" it means the series is tied 3-3, and it is a winner-take-all final game, and EVERYONE goes crazy for it! Before the World Series are the ALCS (American League Championship Series) and NLCS (National League Championship Series). Baseball has two different leagues, the American League and National League, and each league has 15 teams in it. So the ALCS is the last two teams remaining from the AL, and the NLCS is the last two teams remaining from the NL. Before the League Championship Series, there's the ALDS (American League Division Series) and NLDS (National League Division Series), which are the final four teams from each league. Four teams from the NLDS and four teams from the ALDS, and the two winning teams in each league advance to the LCS. Before the League Division Series, there's a single-game wildcard game in each league. These are played between the last two teams in each league to make the playoffs. It is a single winner-take-all game, and the winner goes on to play the top team in each league in the ALDS and NLDS. You were also asking if fans stand or sit, and it really is different in each situation. Baseball, for the most part, is a very slow sport. What you're seeing in these clips is not really the norm. These are the top moments of the game, all in the playoffs or for the world series championship. Regular season games, of which each team plays 162, are much less "exciting" for the most part. Baseball is probably the sport where people sit the most often, because it is such a slow-moving game and doesn't have that many exciting moments. People will stand for home runs, but that's about it. In the playoffs, which most of these are from, people will stand a lot of the time, especially late in the games. In football/basketball/hockey, I would say fans stand more often, but there's really no teams or sports where fans are standing the whole time, or even the majority of the time.

[@jackstellar2144]

What a fun video, man. You did a good job with formulating an understand of what was happening. It's not an overly complicated game at it's base rules and how it's played. You seemed like you enjoyed it. Maybe a new MLB fan? You asked about away teams - Anyone is free to go to any game, there are no limits. The stadiums are not close, though, which is what I'm guessing you're more used to. More teams in a smaller area. You may have one team on the east coast playing a team from the west coast, and because of the distance and travel cost the vast majority (95% plus) of the fans will be of the home team. That is why when the home team wins, which is the case in most of these reaction videos, the whole place is going bat shit crazy, they're all fans of the home team, and the home team just won.

When the balls goes out to the stand is called a Home Run, that means everybody on base and the batter scores. Thats a lot of runs in one hit, usually enough to win the game if it is at the ending innings.

[@dopemixes685]

appreciate you reacting bro!

[@rstocks100]

Hey man, Loved this video. Many Americans love multiple sports; but for those of us to whom baseball is our first love... there is no greater sport! Listening to this video did my heart good. If you would like to indulge yourself with more baseball, I would love to point you in some good directions... for example: the home run at 10:30 in this video- find the video that shows that entire 7th inning of the Bluejays vs. the Rangers game: where a pitcher gets into a jam at 100+ pitches because of fielding errors, the lead changes hands, the batting team works bases loaded, a pitching change happens, a controversial play at the plate, and an epic homerun to climax, with the pitching team taking offense at the show-off bat flip (which leads to a fist fight the next season), etc. That one inning is a microcosm of what makes baseball Baseball. Let me know if you want more leads! Peace.

I still remember 6:35 like it was yesterday, even though it was 2006. The Tigers (the team who hit the home run) lost 119 games just three years prior to that, and that home run capped off a magical season in which they got to the World Series for the first time since 1984. It's one of my fondest memories and I'm glad I got to share it with you

[@drew5965]

MLBs regular season the stadiums are not that full- that first clip was a playoff game. If you make the playoffs its a big deal and will be a sellout.

[@stonewall01]

I like watching baseball almost as much as hockey, however I will admit they are on two completely opposite ends of the "excitement" scale. Most of the time during a game, not much is actually happening that is exciting. After all it's impossible for the defense to score. Most of these clips are from the postseason and it is teams coming back to tie or get the lead or something. Also, they play 162 games per regular season, that's not including the postseason. That alone should tell you that there isn't much strenuous or high intensity action going on a lot of the time. However, that is not to say baseball isn't as enjoyable, but I will admit that I can understand why people don't like it. I happen to like it though. A couple of suggestions for MLB.

Good post. I've found that a prefer watching football on television to being at the game, but the opposite is true for baseball. I've never lived anywhere close to a place with a hockey team, so I never really got into it.

baseball is definitely far more enjoyable watching live at the stadium rather than on TV. if the game happens to be boring, then the ppl watching at the stadium is quite entertaining and revealing 😏

@@jamesallen5591 I agree. I have only been to one NFL game and I don't think I will go to another. I have been to more hockey games at a minor-league team, and I find them more enjoyable but I would still rather watch on tv. I love going to baseball games. It is so laid back and one of the last games I went to, (another local minor-league team) there was a group of fans nearby where I was sitting that was heckling an opposing player on the field. He was awesome, playing along with them, giving it right back too. I would say it really got started in the fourth inning, and kept going until the end. One time he came out saw the fans and started laughing and said something like "Alright what have you got for me this time, let's hear it." Something like that. It was a really fun and enjoyable few hours.

The footage at 11:11 and 11:32 are from the same game. It was Game 6 of the 2011 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers. The Cardinals were down to their last out and final strike when David Freese, who actually grew up just outside of St. Louis hit a triple to tie the game 7-7 and forced extra innings. The Cardinals were down to their last strike and was down by 2 runs again in the 10th and they got a hit to tie the game. Then Freese hit a home run to lead off the 11th inning to win the game and force a deciding 7th game the following night. The Cardinals won game 7 and the World Series, cementing Freese as a hometown hero.
