My dad took me and my sister to this game. We didn't have tickets yet, so we ended up in the SRO area on the 1st base side. When Ryno hit #2, my dad literally leaped for joy. I was 16 and had never seen him that excited. My sister was smart and kept her ticket stub which she gifted to me for my HS graduation 2 years later. I still have it. Amazing day!

Interesting note: 1984 was the first season that NBC had exclusivity with their game of the week contract. Until then, the markets of the teams involved were still able to broadcast on local TV. This was the first Cubs Game of the Week in 1984, and so this was the first Cubs home game since 1947 to not be on WGN TV.

He liked a cold beer and a good lookin' babe sunning in the bleachers. But we also miss Harry because we were 35 years younger then, and we miss those days, don't we. When the Cubs went into the post season in "84", we would turn the TV volume down and listen to Harry on the radio. Isn't it great to have KZbin and be able to just relive and reminisce about those great times? Just awesome to hear Harry yell "Everybody's Goin' Bananas!"

Joe 3times One humdinger of a season no doubt. I was a Royals fan but got completely wrapped up in Harry Caray and that Cubs team. I made them the team I wanted to win the National League. Between the Cubs that year, your Tigers and that sick 40-5 start or something like that, and the Royals, it to this day, like you said was just one hell of a season. You know, you hear about those special years, like the " Boys of Summer" book where it involved all three NewYork teams....but what about that 1984 season. Yea, special.

Along with the 6th game of the '75 World Series, this is the greatest game I've ever seen. Ryno is undoubtedly one of the greatest players ever to put on a uniform, in all aspects of the game - simply brilliant. If that 6th game turned me back on to baseball, it was equally thrilling to watch the Cubs of the '80's! I still despise the SD Padres and loved it when the Tigers swept them in the '84 Series.

Love the call from Harry Caray on the second home run!! Purely unscripted, and it was magic listening to that. To me it ranks at the top as the best call I ever heard from him.

In all greatness is that moment which disbelief dissolves in such a matter that blurs the line between man and myth. Where you begin to wonder if magic is real. This is one of those moments. There was an electrical crackle surrounding the Cubs' season and yes the year 1984. Maybe it was their theme song "Jump" where apprehensive impetuous youthful exuberance meets experience, as were our 1984 Cubs. You just thought lightning might strike. It did and we all believed in magic.... until the clock struck twelve. Yes 1984 was a great year.

I have attended some spectacular sporting events in my time but nothing compares to this wild and magical game. We were surrounded by Cards fans...they were drunk and loud and in-your-face obnoxious all afternoon until Ryno shocked them into silence. TWICE! NBC was ready to announce WIllie McGee as player of the game for hitting for the cycle. Wow. I got goosebumps all over again watching this. Baseball has changed so much since then...these were special times. I'll never forget that 1984 team. I never thought I'd see this again as I forgot to set my VCR that day.

Wow! Ozzie! Amazing. I'm a Cub, but...Ozzie. You are great.

33 years later and I still get excited watching this. I was 14 and had to work that day but kept checking in on the score over the radio. I had a feeling that the Cubs would somehow come back and win it that day. Never give up!

Old Harry was the biggest homer in the history of sports announcing. He treated the Cardinals, Cubs and White Sox like they were the only teams that ever played the game. He was definitely a lot of fun to listen to.

How wonderful to see my Cubbies 7 years before I became a fan and to see the buildings again, most of all, to hear Harry Caray again.

I was in law school and fell asleep on the couch with this game on the tube and the Cubs down 7-1. When I woke up the game was over!! lol

I was at this game at 6 years old. I fell in love and have known heartbreak because of it.

I had the pleasure of listening to this game down in Mesa AZ from the Cubs network through WGN on a Podunk radio station from Coolidge, AZ KCKY. We were working for the Price Club and listened to the game intermittently until the 9th inning with Sanberg's tying homerun, the 10th inning with his tying 2 run homerun with 2 outs, and then the 12th inning with the bases juiced and a game winning single. Besides Harry Caray, was the other announcer Lou Beaudrow? Great game. Great regular season. Sucky playoffs losing to the hapless Friars of San Diego. Thanks for posting this great game and coordinated radio calls.

Great memory. Yes it is Lou Boudreau. Steve Stone was usually with Harry doing radio but because this game was on NBC nationally televised Lou the Cubs TV announcer moved into the radio booth with Caray.

My aunt used to take me Cub games every summer. We'd sit right on the dugout box seats. I remember Harry walking around and talking with fans before the game. Such a great guy and cool person.

Man, i wish baseball was like this now...this era's game makes me sick...what an awesome team in '84.
@brookewise55626 жыл бұрын
This era is not awful. It is only awful if you make it seem like it is. The Cubs won a World Series for crying out loud, and you need to be all butt hurt about our generation. This is really sad, and I hope you wake up soon, and realize how great baseball still is. What an awesome team in 2018!

No electronic scoreboard telling the crowd to make noise just pure adrenaline and entertainment that's all you need in baseball today and you don't need electronics

Harry Caray on 720 WGN Radio, Bob Costas on NBC Sports locally TV televised on WMAQ-TV 5 in Chicago. How better could this get?!
