After a quarter of a century, still a game for the RECORD BOOK.

Watched this game live. One of the most memorable Pirates game ever!!

[@buffrich754]

I was AT this game sitting about 7 rows back of home plate. It stands as the greatest moment of my being a baseball fan. Still remember the light rain, and the heavy celebration! 13-12.

[@brianl8924]

I was at this game...sat in centerfield just behind the hitters backdrop. Stayed entire game, probably less than 500 fans left when it ended. Would like to see the Pittsburgh feed of the game. We were only people left in outfield, so the Pirates broadcast showed us a few times between innings.

[@gibomber]

Holy cow !

[@aboxofbroken8tracks983]

I can't even believe someone saved this. For many years I considered this game to be the absolute nadir of my life as a Cubs fan.

[@buckeyeschmave]

I remember a game in Cincinnati in '95 that we led 5-3 in the 10th and then gave up four in the bottom of the inning. Memorable but not nearly as memorable as this one.

[@tombim4545]

Let’s go bucs!

[@tombim4545]

Let’s go Bucs!

[@ric60100]

Could never get tired of hearing Harry. RIP Harry Caray.

[@ChibiProwl]

Yep! Good man, and an awesome sportscaster!😎🥺

[@storyofcory]

I miss Harry and Stony like crazy (yeah, I know Stony's not "gone", but he's not doing Cubs games anymore). Two class acts, upstanding guys who are amazing broadcasters. ❤

[@patricklee4316]

Cubs should bring back these road jerseys.

[@trollndatrollaz9743]

Love this I watch the whole game wish you included the wgn cubs intro 👍

[@ChibiProwl]

Mark Grace and Ryne Sandberg my favorite Cubs back in the day. Jay Bell and Andy VanSlyke my favorite Pirates back in the day.

[@55Porter]

2:41:08 - I remember watching this game with my uncle. When Dawson came up he said "oh this is over, he's gonna hit a grand slam." Sure enough, he was HALF right!

[@PENS68]

The Pirate Managers from 1986-2005, were all apart of this game. Jim Leyland 1986-1996, Gene Lamont 1997-2000, Lloyd McClendon 2001-2005.

[@johnfoster2584]

The stadiums have come a long way.

[@05steelersrule08]

EPIC comeback(s) by the Battlin' Buccos in THIS one! I REMEMBER that weekend! TWICE in three days they overcame a grand slam homer by future Hall of Famer Andre Dawson! A game for ALL Pirate fans to relish HERE!

[@crowtservo]

Rick Brosh I just wish they could replace the Cubs announcers with Lanny Frattare “There was noooooo doubt about it!”

[@mariepavlov9144]

Rick Brosh, do you have on VHS, Cubs-Pirates (4-21-1991) from KBL, or audio, Cubs-Pirates (4-21-1991) from KDKA Radio and the Pirates Baseball Network?

[@05steelersrule08]

@@mariepavlov9144 No, I recorded a replay of this broadcast off of ESPN Classic years ago (a recording whose whereabouts I lost track of and/or lost), but I haven't seen tell of any available replays of it off of Pirates radio and TV.

[@jluke0412]

Was at this game with my Dad and Brother. We left early thinking Pittsburgh got spanked only to hear on the radio on the way home that the buccos made an amazing comeback to win the game.

[@brandonneumann5294]

I’ve never understood the idea of going to a game just to leave early. I guess because I grew up in Las Vegas where we didn’t have pro sports team.

[@lucascott499]

the third baseman gary scott is my dad

[@gibomber]

Wow ! I'm italian (gibomber is my channel ). Luca is an italian name . Gary Scott..it reminds me of better times, when I was 20 years old. The only thing that has not changed...my love for baseball. Hi from Rimini (Italy)

[@lucascott499]

cool

[@lucascott499]

so do u want his autograph, the one who hit the grandslam

[@gibomber]

on a ball ? Cool ! But I live in Italy.....

[@lucascott499]

yeah i could send u one but u need to tell me ur adress

[@erichall6039]

Harry Carey.....A pitchers not a player....he's a pitcher....Steve Stone....Are you kidding.... priceless

[@WSchamps]

This was a game for the ages.

[@gibomber]

Yes it was. Holy cow !

[@WSchamps]

Might there be a possibility you could obtain the final Pirates game played at Three Rivers Stadium?

[@buckeyeschmave]

^ Also against the Cubs, incidentally. Wouldn't mind seeing it myself.

[@ChibiProwl]

@@buckeyeschmave Ditto!

[@chaddalrymple4834]

The 1991 Cubs, as hard as it is to believe now, were picked by many experts to win the NL East and perhaps the pennant. The funny thing was their three key free agent signings-George Bell, Danny Jackson, and Dave Smith-all ended up on the DL to end the disappointing season.

[@nintendofan6099]

I think they were actually favorite by some to win the world series that year.

[@chaddalrymple4834]

I believe you might be correct. Rarely does a team spend its way to a world title. The rare exception is the 1997 Florida Marlins.

[@BAYAREA-kd1ig]

Hey did you forget about the Yankees and the Red Sox? LOL

[@StFidjnr]

The cubbies got bitten by the injury bug

[@reaganhensley1339]

I know Randy Tomlin!! My dad coached with him!

[@pronounsareinsane]

Harry Caray in his post-stroke prime. This is how most people remember him, especially Will Ferrell in his many skits of him on Saturday Night Live

[@BAYAREA-kd1ig]

He was a damm good announcer before he became a parody to many.

[@buckeyeschmave]

Unfortunately there are people who think Will Ferrell's imitation is accurate. Not even close.

[@hushg2000]

Brenamen before being a Cubs hater ... I can still hear him crying over in Cincinnati when we gave them a spanking

[@killyourtelevision999]

That stadium looked so cookie cutter. Cincinnati had a similar one.

[@gibomber]

Yes...both with articial turf....close stands all around the field...and both with River in their name.

[@sportsmedia25]

I love it Harry sounds like he's in midseason form

[@tombim4545]

I was there!!!!!!

[@raydemos1181]

Sutcliff is probably signing the ball Baby Ruth

This sums up the 1991 season

[@timeapen]

Post more Cubs games from the 91 season!

[@gibomber]

I will try. Thanks

[@Sam-u-L-Blax-un]

Barry K’d four times, and I’m complaining about one k.

[@rickmarone2382]

I remember this game is had to work didn't get to see it until a co-worker told me about it and I had to see the highlights to believe it thought for sure the buccos would went series in early 1990's but after 92 season gave up on them

[@sXSniping]

Back when they played in the rain. Not like the bs today I think it’s dumb when they rain delay every dam game

[@8644mec]

Huh?? There were plenty of rain delays back then. Plenty of rain outs, etc. What the hell are you talking about lol??

[@8644mec]

Talk about the "back in my day, get off my lawn" crowd grasping at straws. Holy fuck.

[@danacoleman4007]

Jesus Christ, was anyone ever worse than Harry caray?

[@gibomber]

Boy oh boy ! What's wrong with the base on balls ?!? Holy Cow !

[@user-wy6ov7gr8e]

Cuan2 los piratas no eran tan piratas como lo son ahora.Ahora son una sucursal d los Yankis y otros ekipo con billet

[@ericradford2142]

Thom Brennaman??? Oh how the mighty have fallen.

[@buckeyeschmave]

He and Stone were a great team.

[@lucascott499]

i could get u his autograph

[@ChibiProwl]

Whose autograph?

[@StFidjnr]

No wonder that in baseball 91 a video yearbook the bucs took the nl east lead by mid april and never let go

[@lucascott499]

i swear

[@georgeschlaline6057]

I want a live game Not a 30 year old one

[@PrinceTron1]

The most horrible performance by a Cubs pitching staff I've ever seen! Two 5 run leads and couldn't finish the job!

Dave Smith sucked as a closer for the Cubs...he was great with Houston. I remember listening to this game and was sure the Cubs would pull it out after Dawsons grand slam...no to be outdone, they managed to blow it.
