Paul O'Neill Career Highlights

[@Sizeofabettlebug]

I’m 49 now , but dam am I happy I got to see this guy and this team in the prime of my life , I miss them and I will never forget the joy they gave us every year

[@kevinloignon7943]

One of the best trades the Yankees ever made .He was rock solid for them.

[@cedricforeman1176]

Big O'Neill my dad's all time favorite reds player he still frustrated with that trade

[@samjump8892]

Naw bro Paul was a potato Eaton bastid

[@tak7323]

Every hit Every HR And his Defensive plays .... head down No showing anyone up Love it

[@iandhr1]

Paul O'Neil and Bernie Williams were my favorite players growing up.

[@parkingclube]

I had forgotten how beautiful his swing was. Thanks for posting this!

[@tubemaniac206]

maybe u forgotten because it wasn't a beautiful swing. will clark......now thats a beautiful swing.

[@tak7323]

Forgot how much power he had. Some of those HRs were bombs

[@thrasher3567]

The most beautiful swing and a cannon of an arm. I miss the Warrior still have his 98 Jersey and rock it every game I go to.

[@margaretjiantonio939]

One of the best trade they ever made. What a warrior! He had such a beautiful swing. Of course, there wasn't a water cooler that was ever safe when things went bad for him.

[@raylopez604]

😂😅 I remember watching him as a young kid in the mid 90's. Best era of baseball imo and as a die hard Yankee fan, he'll always be one of my favorites! Dude was a beast! Always came through when needed.

[@YocoWheelin]

Man I wish I grew up during his time. He retired when I was 7. Love listening to him as a color announcer.

[@LOLmusics]

No show off bat flips with the warrior. He just swings, puts his head down, and drops the bat. Classy.

[@jamiewood99]

loved O'Neill...no showboating....just put his head down on a HR and ran the bases...a true gentleman...

[@ellandecampbell6279]

So long as the hitter doesn't talk smack to the pitcher when he does it (unless it's a situation similar to Giancarlo Stanton against Mike Fiers, where Fiers had previously ended his season by hitting him in the face with a pitch), I don't see what the problem is. Plus, O'Neill wasn't exactly known for acting like a "true gentleman" when he didn't get a hit

[@seanfelder3286]

Great clutch hitter and warrior and was part of championships in Yankees team in late 1990s

5 World Series rings, big power, rifle arm. My favorites of those Yankees teams were Paulie and Bernie.

@@tomlabelle3202 Bernie Williams is not a HOF'r, neither is Paul O'neill.

They're forever in Yankee folklore and that's enough.

[@deadpan80]

Wasnt a big O'Neill fan at the time but after all these years have passed, I have come to appreciate what a great player he was

[@cedricforeman1176]

I've been researching the 1990 reds team. Big was just about to become a star player with the reds & then they trade him, reds error on that one

Finally

[@LoganMPierce]

I could watch this guy hit and never get tired of it.

[@kevinpayton2664]

He was a great player for New York, but he wasn't too bad with the Cincinnati Reds either. He was a key player on their 1990 World Series winning team.

I love that the Yankees are going to retire number 21/call Neil maybe not be a Hall of famer but he was a great player for the Yankees he was a leader and you never heard nothing bad about him.

Thanks for posting. He was and will always be my favorite yankee.

[@Ripplin]

Such an efficient, smooth, no-nonsense swing. Perfect. :)

[@davidmoss2576]

Left handed swings are just beautiful.

[@Fakename70]

Junior Griffey, Strawberry, Gibby. Even douchebag Will Clark, were amongst my favourites of the ‘80’s and ‘90’s.

[@LOLmusics]

That leg kick tho... 🦵

[@g311music]

What happened to those fans who used to go to the old stadium? The old stadium just sounded different! It was loud and crazy I haven’t heard that noise since 2008. That is the year the Yankees died as they sold the soul of the team out for the all mighty 💰.

[@cubswin3838]

Jeter wound up being the captain, but Paulie was the first leader! He and Bernie.

[@danlora5599]

Amazing player. It’s also crazy that we got Matsui expecting him to be Godzilla but was just what we needed. Another version of Paul O’Neill

[@fredriguzzi4909]

Paul had a great swing, so fun to watch!

[@teddyspeaks3772]

Stood next to him for about three hours @ a James Taylor concert Riversbend in Cincinnati. He came walk-in up at the beginning after a couple songs w his wife and gave me a nod and asked if he could layout his blanket nxt to ours. I said no problem as long as Sabo’s not with ya. They laughed, my girl who literally went to Brookhaven high in CBUS asked if I knew him. Never said another word til we were packing up and he said you all be careful heading home. Shook my hand and I said my dad (huge Reds fan)considered you among the elite and would start him on his greatest to ever play the game team. Also hasn’t watched a Yankees game since he retired and won’t until they retire 21. He smiled and said tell your dad thanks and to DH me! Classy dude. Humble.

[@JohnSmith-en8vx]

O;Neil wore the pinstripes as proud and with as much dignity as all the great Yankees before him, including Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, and Berra. He was as gritty and as tough as they came.

[@cubswin3838]

Gritty. Like Thurman.

Damn I didn't realize how much power he had, some of those homers were absolute bombs. I always remembered him as more of a singles hitter with good defense.

[@matthewmahan3212]

When the trade that brought him to NY happened, everyone thought the Yankees were out of their mind.. One of the most lopsided trades in Yankee history

[@alwillk]

Kelly actually wasn’t bad in Cincinnati, he hit .310 there, but the reds traded him to Atlanta for deon sanders which was the terrible trade. The reds got good value for deon though when they shipped him to San Fran for Lewis, burba and Portugal.

[@KTF0]

@@alwillk Funny part between Kelly and O'Neill, Kelly was the first one to go to an All Star game post trade. Of course O'Neill later went on to have a superior career with the Yanks

[@kathconserv]

6:22 that’s so beautiful.

[@richardingrassia4276]

Roberto Kelly for Paul O'Neill the best trade Yankees ever made by far

[@alwillk]

Kelly was actually good in Cincinnati, he hit .310. After only a season the reds traded Kelly to Atlanta for deon. That was the shitty trade. Although the reds got some value back when they traded deon to the giants for 3 players.

[@cedricforeman1176]

for sure a great trade Big O'Neill became a great player with the yankees

[@rjperfetto584]

A great swing, he hardly was ever off balance, kept that shoulder tight to got the ball hard. A great example of a excellent player, a great pickup dot the Yankees for there DYNASTY RUN. MY FAVORITE YANKEEE. He played Baseball the WAY IT SHOULD BE PLAYED.

[@garrysaint-vil725]

He said I’m going to monument park

[@ronveri2838]

GREAT DEFENDER

[@kevinpayton2664]

What about when he was with Cincinnati and he mishandled the ball in right field and actually kicked the ball back in the infield to hold the baserunner on third.

[@dirtylemon3379]

Two more; When he kicked the ball in from right field. And when he ran that long fly ball down to end the game in the '96 World Series against Atlanta.

[@Ripplin]

MLB.com and Bleacher Report should be ashamed not having him on either of their top swings in history lists!

Not to mention his numerous fielding highlights. I don’t think YES has the rights to the games that were on MSG. There’s not many games (Abbott no-hitter) from that time on Yankees Classics. I believe O’Neill was leading the AL in batting average when 94 Strike happened.
