Cleveland Indians 10-run 8th inning leads to fight with Anaheim Angels - August 31 1999

[@stillamazed27]

This is one of my all-time favorite Indians games. I used to have it on VHS and wore the tape out, re-watching it so many times. I've looked on KZbin occasionally over the years to see if anyone had part of it out there, and you do. So thank you so much, I highly appreciate it!

[@mikedarrah6945]

my fav indian games were the last regular season series games against the whitesox, '05.

[@camicawber]

I feel like I was "at" this game, though I was not in the ballpark. I had just moved to Cleveland a few weeks earlier and was in Lincoln Park Pub in Tremont with some friends on Taco Tuesday, watching this on TV. I think we stepped outside on the Sexson home run to see if we could see the HR fireworks from the park. We couldn't (we were too late), but it was fun trying. It was an early bonding experience for me and my new roommates, and watching this brought back a lot of good memories. ...And in the playoffs, we WERE able to see fireworks on a Jim Thome homer in the playoffs against Boston from our place in Ohio City. Or maybe we just heard them? Either way, this Indians team will always be one of my favorites. The Indians/Guardians aren't my actual team, but I've always had a great deal of fondness for them because of my time in Cleveland, and because of this '99 team.

[@TheChrisminator19]

This was the actual game is where David Justice tossed his helmet at Anaheim Angels closer pitcher Troy Percival. They ended up being ejected. They are wearing their home blue uniform with the white pants. For those wanted to see the whole brawl fight, It's at 23:52 minute mark. Terry Collins was also ejected as well by home plate umpire Eric Cooper. Designated Hitter/1st baseman Richie Sexson hits a three-run home run to give the Cleveland Indians the lead at the 22:21 minute mark! Great call by the great John Sanders! The count was one ball and two strikes in the bottom of the 8th inning!

Between 1995-2001, I probably went to 25 -30 games. They only lost 4-5 times. Those teams were unbelievable especially the 95’ team. There will never be a team as good of better offensively than that squad. It’s a shame they couldn’t win a World Series.

More like their scorebook. Even using the bigger team style book, you only have so many spaces for each batting spot. Baines had bad knees and was timed with a sundial by that point in his career. Justice was slowing down too. Hargrove wasn't beyond putting a pitcher in the outfield in a pinch and using an infielder like Carlos actually saved him from putting another pitcher in a OF spot. Nagy was more of an athlete so putting him out there wasn't so much of a defensive liability. Losing Junior really hurt them more than anything that game but his backup ATM wasn't too bad.

This is why Percival was so angry after and kept trying to fight on the field and had to be held back. The helmet hit him on the top of his head, it definitely hurt a lot

[@eagl3ye]

@@tynao2029 He got hit by the helmet cuz he clearly threw at Justice intentionally.

[@marksauce2383]

Angels manager made about 7 moves in that inning. And they were all wrong…😢

[@4thegloryofthelord]

This is from August 31, 1999. The Indians did the same thing against the Oakland A's EXACTLY one year earlier. Strange.

@jomboymedia how come no breakdown of this game?

[@agoo7581]

People who say "women are too emotional" never seem to be around the countless videos of pitchers assaulting batters with baseballs because their poor little feelings were hurt.

[@marbury77]

Wanted to see the 3rd out in that inning!!! Unbelievable watching that game as angels fan

[@paulthibedeau4257]

12:28 did I hear the announcer correct, did he say "and the bases are still drunk with Indians"???

[@therealtruetwelfth798]

Yeah “bases are drunk” means bases are loaded

[@bradevans5566]

Yeah, I winced at that too. It meant the bases were loaded but we all know he played on words.

Who were the announcers? Wow they were awful.

The good old days!

I think you need to include the final at-bat of the inning.

Wow thanks for posting.

The CLEVELAND INDIANS!!! We will never call them anything else! 😂

Man this team was stacked with good players

[@bradkirchhoff5703]

2 years later they made a 12 run comeback vs a Mariners team that broke a record for wins in a season that year.

[@holajovito6632]

Crazy to See how stacked this Indians team was and never won a chip

[@todd3205]

Omar Vizquel was a magician.

[@jberry1982]

This is the only 10 run inning i recall in my life time and that 41 years now lol

[@MausMasher54]

Wow....Thanks for the History....

2:00 Did he just say that the Indians had the lowest rated offense in the AL in '99? Really?

[@PlexMan79]

Those Angels uniforms are incredible

[@jasonpeters9716]

Justice was a sweet looking ball player. Beautiful SWING!

[@Kingkoopa00]

Holy shit. That strike zone was fucking YUUUUGE.

[@WeekendsWithDad]

I’d love to see the top of the 9th if anyone had it. This game was the only time in 20+ years Omar Vizquel was scored as an outfielder.
