Cubs 9, Phillies 2 - August 11, 1989 - Full game

[@mattmarshall569]

These 80's and 90's Cubs games bring back fond memories of them on WGN at my grandparent's house. Games like this and many others is what made pro baseball special.

[@visciousadventures]

Same here 👊

[@ljcomstock]

This was the first year I watched baseball and as an optimistic 11 year old I thought the Cubs were going to be this good every year. It only took another 27 years.

[@thelastmanonearth2631]

One of the best summers of my life, this one.

[@jgonzales912]

Me, too.

[@theintentionalnovice7718]

I'm not even a Cubs fan, but a hated Reds fan. But I loved this season. Where I lived, our only options for baseball on TV were the Braves and Cubs, and I watched every game I could - mostly at my grandparents' house. And now, all these years later, I remember this Cubs team so fondly.

[@raydemos1181]

one month after this game I moved in 5 houses north of the left field wall on Kenmore Ave, Great neighborhood to live in, now days it is too expensive to live there, those were the Days

I would wonder that Harry consumes at least 3, maybe 4 or 5 cans of Budweisers a game. Which would mean on average Harry would consume about 243, maybe 324 or 405 cans of Budweiser at least every home game a year at Wrigley Field.

How did WGN allow Harry to b on tv back then, AND i don't wanna hear cause he's HARRY ?

[@rmartin7558]

@@dennisandry1632 This was before the pussification of America. Back when men drank beer and smoked cigarettes, not strawberry daiquiris and cannabis. As long as he had a designated driver after the game and was able to perform his duties as an announcer, why shouldn't he have been able to enjoy a few Budweisers at the game? He wasn't operating machinery. And besides, it was a free country back the. I'll take a drunk Harry Caray over any one of the sober social justice jerk-offs from ESPN.

Please upload the doubleheader between the Phillies vs Cubs the following day after this game. That was the first time I ever went to a game at Wrigley field 8/12/1989 and also went to the game on Sunday 8/13/1989 when Von Hayes hit an inside the park grand slam when Jerome Walton injured his shoulder crashing into the wall in CF.

Too bad u took out all those nostalgia commercials - really BAD idea - but WORSE idea to put the games score in the title - entirely ruins the possible drama one could experience in watching/enjoying the game. I knew the game was over when Sandberg hit the home run 1:52:15 - but theres 45 more minutes of game still to go.

[@beakt]

Very nice, bulldogsid. Could you maybe post this without the commercials removed? It's nice to be able to experience it real-time. Like time travel.

[@bulldogsid]

I did remove most of the repetitive commercials, but left in some for the nostalgia and cheese factor.

[@beakt]

Thanks for replying. If you actually have the original live broadcast with all commercials, I recommend you post it that way. From comments I've read on dozens of these videos, most of us prefer it that way. And if someone doesn't like it, it's easy to skip with the right-arrow key .

​@@bulldogsid I know it's been up for 6 years.... I find it hard to believe that people have not suggested you remove THE FINAL SCORE and action details from the title and desc... The drama of watching the game and wondering what's gonna happen and whose gonna win is completly ruined for anyone who'd like to have that experience of watching a live game and also going back in time.... Realize that you changing it now.. cant help me at all, I gain nothing petsonally.. but I'm caring for and thinking of others who'll come upon this later... Please seriously consider this suggestion... Theres just zero good that comes from knowing the score and hit details before watching... Actually a diminishing of enjoyment is the result for the individual who approaches these old games in hopes of being surprised from batter to batter... I sure hope you can respond after I've tried to thoughtfully & respectfully offer this which would be improvement and be for benefit of others.
