Galarraga blasts three homers

[@blindingedge980]

The Big Cat was in my opinion one of the best pure power hitters in all of baseball. His stance at the plate and his swing were things of beauty.

[@JonahLoeb]

He really had one of the sweetest righty swings of all time. Edgar Martinez and Adrian Beltre are the only ones I can think of who measure up.

[@krlm2280]

@Marvin Santana manny, Juan gonzalez then the big cat

[@alejandrosuarez5540]

His stance was altered greatly by his hitting coach with the Cardinals Don Baylor (who later became his manager). He opened up his stance which allowed him to see the ball coming with both eyes and it really reduced his strikeouts. I agree with your comment though he was an excellent hitter, a gem.

Raw talent from the streets of Caracas Venezuela.

[@hw5091]

@@elmalanmalan2175 who cares. everybody is from some street.

[@p344y]

The Rockies had some amazing players it’s a shame they never had the pitching to match the hitting talent. Guys like walker, Helton, galarraga, bischette, Castilla some of the best pure hitters in the modern era

[@ryan5165]

One of the few Rockies sluggers that could legit hit away from coors field in the 90s He hit 44 home runs playing a full season for the Braves after leaving Colorado

[@user-gs8jv4oq6w]

what a badass player. one of the best

[@parriswilliams1175]

I was at this game, He just missed hitting a fourth that went to the warning track, I'm a Padre fan and It was surreal, It was like everybody in the stadium knew what was going to happen before it happened, you could sense something special was going on with The Big Cat that day.

[@mattgross542]

The crack of the bat!

[@TheJMF19]

El más grande, The Big Cat. One the great Rockies´batters

[@rumalo]

i was there , the 3rd home run is the longest homerun that i ever seen in person, that day vinny castilla face fernando valenzuela for the first time and castilla singled to center, larry walker homered and gwynn too homered, it was a fun day at the park

[@ojs2345]

Thats awesome!

[@kajunshaman]

That's awesome that you were there to see those legends hitting so many home runs. Moments that will mark your life forever I bet

[@adriand817]

The big cat and Adam Dunn outside of Barry Bonds were beast

[@darkmannc]

I will go CRAZY if they add him to MLB The Show... 😩 God they need him in there.

[@Sherpaful]

0:36 It apparently landed in the senior citizen section, and nobody can see well enough to find the ball.....

[@nalvarado1384]

THIS is outta here! HE has done it! 2ND DECK MAYBE - yeah! WAY up in the 2nd Deck! 3 homeruns in a row, and this is a 3-run shot! History being set here (in San Diego) this(Sunday) afternoon.

[@nalvarado1384]

Galarraga the 1ST ROCKIES PLAYER EVER to hit 3 homeruns in 1 game!!! On June 25th, 1995.

[@mando3061]

1:30, one of the most beautiful and pure swings in the history of the game.

[@happycanayjian1582]

Each one progressively longer. What a beauty the Big Cat was. 👍🏼

[@TheDeadlyKnight]

Don Baylor was a genius hitting coach. One of the best of this era with Mike Hargrove & maybe Charlie Manual. Galaragga & Bichette were journeymen. Baylor turned them into MVP-caliber run producers

[@cristiandanielortizcuellar2990]

Not to many people remember the big cat was in on deck circle when the Rockies finish hitting in the nine.. Best Regards from Venezuela...

[@xxv112002]

I remember Galarraga, his Rockies used to rival my Dodgers back in the 90's. I remember Pedro Astacio beaning him in the head

[@SuperKnux64]

WOAH!! BYYYYEE BYYYE BYE BYE BYYYEEE!

[@jefflindsey2783]

Charlie Jones then Rockies play by play announcer said it!!!

[@nalvarado1384]

​@jefflindsey2783 it was actually Dave Campbell who said that. What Charlie said was this is outta here. He has done it. 3 homeruns in a row, and this is a 3 run shot, history being set here this afternoon.

[@dannyrighi]

Unbelievable he’s not a hall of famer

[@tomryan4647]

lol wtf kind of call was that?!?!?!?! woah...bye..bye..bye/bye...bye

[@knoxoverstreet8462]

guy sounds like an idiot

[@gregersen80015]

Charlie Jones and Dave Campbell were on the mics that day on Rockies TV...weren't the best combination in my opinion. Drew Goodman with his signature "take a good look, you won't see it for long would fit best on all of these home runs.

[@glenslater8813]

It's no worse than "lol wtf".

[@Alandforman]

Lol!

[@ellibrodeyan]

Triple Cats.

[@josearmandogonzalez4728]

Nuestro gran Gato de VENEZUELA 🇻🇪💪👊

[@narigon3942]

The Fat Cat eats up El Toro! 😸 🐂

[@TheErick0902]

Excelente demostración de poder

[@jonmolina948]

Fernando Valenzuela still has PTSD from that last missile.

[@juliovillegas6121]

Valenzuela had nothing in the ball the last years...

[@germansanchez1291]

the cat el gato . galarraga.

[@rs5pdx]

i was at this game and i have never seen a ball hit farther at Jack Murphy

[@thebiggabriel]

I made a homework for the school talking about this feat ❤

[@Jiztiz]

Senior citizen day in left field.

[@YRFKD]

Looks like even the fans were on roids

[@TheRmm1976]

Big Cat never did roids. The guy was huge from the early 80's. 6'3, 240 lbs. He didn't inflate like all the roid users did over time, he was a big dude from the start.

[@XxChuyoxX]

TheRmm1976 Him being form the 80's is irrelevant lol he played in the same era as Sosa and McGwire. I'd be more surprised if he wasn't on something.

[@robloxvids2233]

[@motorcito2358]

Se la votó al toro Fernando valenzuela en el 3er turno

[@eloygameno379]

ugh Sanders, Valenzuela and Blair

[@fullhousefrek]

1:38 if this is the padres stadium why is there a cardinals logo in the staduim???

[@whitedeion598]

fullhousefrek they probably lined the upper deck with all nl team logos. I know veterans stadium did that with their backdrop behind the fence

[@bumaximous45]

This was the Padres Stadium, all Stadium's do this.

[@kblock4295]

Best 😾

[@treybear8174]

Did the big cat ever hit a cheapie?

[@abnuridd24]

Maybe from a checked swing 😂

[@JW-dy8ru]

Roids do a body good.

[@DesertFoxWRX]

Gallaraga was on a good steroid cycle during this season.

[@christianschwalbach7561]

Desert Fox you k ow there's such a thing as natural strength....

[@rogerestrada2928]

Nobody on MLB could appointed to Gallarraga about PDS! He was not part of this PDS party!

[@rogerestrada2928]

Andres Galarraga never was acused and never was part of PDS's Group like other famous who got better numbers and awards but that were cheating all the time!

[@elmalanmalan2175]

Wrong! Gallarraga was pure raw power 💪🏼

[@majortom8037]

Does anybody imagine what kind of home runs Galarraga could be able to connect using drugs?
