i love "SEVEN - NOTHING CHICAGO"

[@stephenalfaroyt6925]

Leezy1399 me to

[@juniordelgado4869]

I will probably get that tattooed

[@bracebrooks967]

Yeah! Awesome hit by Russell, It's also great to see Cubs fans in Cleveland and in other stadiums this past season, I believe the Cubs will finish off the Indians in Game 7 to finally get their 3rd world series title

[@persontime4569]

Brace Brooks I hope so!

[@2008ilovemusic]

Brace Brooks prediction confirmed correct!

[@7hew0lv3r1ne]

2016 World Series Champions Chicago Cubs!!!

[@MikeNapoli1989]

This aged like fine wine

[@GhostNinjaTactical]

Most important HR in Cubs history right there folks

[@GhostNinjaTactical]

@Orangutan live matter possibly KB homer in game five(which I was in the bleachers for), but the reason I say this is the most important homer is because it completely shifted all hope and momentum to the Cubs. This sealed the deal pretty much for game six and mentally have us the huge advantage for the remaining game.

[@arsenal-slr9552]

Nope. David Ross in G7. If he had not hit that solo home run, Rajai Davis would've given CLE the lead in the 8th with his homer off Chapman, and the Cubs did not score in the 9th; so Ross literally saved the whole season.

[@GhostNinjaTactical]

@@arsenal-slr9552 you could probably say that about Javy’s homer in game 7 as well. My point is that this is the homer that got in the Indians and their fans heads. 7-0 lead EARLY in game 6. They started thinking of game 7 and therefore weren’t able to play their style of baseball for the rest of the series. The pressure got to them. And of course THE CUBS NEVER QUIT!!!

[@jakedempsey7073]

My great grandmother had the biggest crush on Russell glad she saw them win before she passed

ONE MORE BABY ONE MORE

When you realize there's going to be a game 7.

[@flynnhersh2109]

Don’t jinx it 😂

[@specterresurrectedstudio1579]

I couldn't stop watching that game night after night, and when Russel hit the grand slam on game 6, I knew it would be a game 7. Micky Mantle did that in 1953, and for a modern player to be compared to him is really something.

[@BitchenMarsRockstar]

ONE. MORE. WIN.

[@theyoutubeconglomerates1250]

Me and Addi grew up together, We undefeated in football and baseball! Addi is just an all around amazing athlete and would give you the shirt off his back!

These videos bring tears of joy. I'm not embarrased to say it

[@jarjardanks5435]

I was watching this with my back door open and my dad got so excited he ran through the screen. One of the funniest, most exciting moments of my life.

[@holdenmizack]

LOL, My 55 year old dad was jumping up and down like a kid. Was great to witness.

[@The_54Gaming]

I called this when I watched the game and that was the best moment of my life

[@The_54Gaming]

50:50

[@patrickmccrimedog9844]

It's fun knowing you went to high school with the dude who hit a grand slam in game 6 of the world series. Addison will go down in history one way or another.

[@NLrebels30]

Let's go cubbies!

[@larry8030]

Joe Buck has never sounded this excited in his commentary before

[@owenah5461]

Mr Speed he's gonna have an orgasm if the Cubs win it all

[@CosmicPegasus]

He grew up as a Cards fan. What the fuck do you expect him to say when someone hits a grand slam in the world series

[@mattj4211]

I’m convinced one of his most exciting calls was the 2018 Minneapolis Miracle, Vikings vs. Saints Divisional Round. 😅 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXvdoaKglLOrp7M

[@NickPortlow]

IMHO, this was the most important & iconic moment of the series.

Its okay Cleveland, you still have the Cavs.

In this game, Russell drove in almost all the white boys. Zobrist twice, Rizzo twice, and Schwarber. All he was missing was Bryant. But Bryant drove himself in. 😂

[@bza069]

the greatest world series ever for the cubs and the announcers were total DORKS and indifferent to the drama of the Cubs winning the series.

[@aboxofbroken8tracks983]

I think they did a great job. Fans hear what they want to hear.

[@landsend3417]

Can't believe the A's let him go..

[@milestoledo1227]

Zaphod Traveler tbf they knew they were giving up an all star caliber prospect...they were just ready to win so the trade made sense at the time.

[@gordon5694]

When you are a family member of Addison Russell looking back at this it so heartwarming

[@hoss3138]

So edgy.

[@opticsikgrizz492]

No DAPL

[@brosephjames]

Their writing is so bad. I thought it said "NO DH pl(ease)" since it is baseball.

[@your_royal_highness]

Too bad Russell had character issues. He was the starting all star shortstop that year....

[@DMalltheway]

And out of the league within a few seasons. Probably won’t ever see any MLB time again.

[@MrHow2fail]

Who says Joe Buck isn't good at his job?

[@bza069]

he sucks balls at this series.... it was like the most exciting series ever and he made it sound like WPGA game

[@CosmicPegasus]

MrHow2fail he did a great job this world series

[@CosmicPegasus]

Especially game 7

[@jarjarbinks4744]

MrHow2fail ME. Horrible announcer. Makes some of the best moments ever so boring. Your job is to hype it up, not hype it down.

[@impittsburghpiratesfandont7867]

Well baseball isn’t one of those fast pace games the announcers shouldn’t make it sound like a football or hockey game Joe Buck does talk a lot about meaningless stuff I have noticed but his baseball calls aren’t that bad just cause he doesn’t sound someone who’s getting his wisdom teeth romoved doesn’t mean he’s a bad announcer he can be annoying but he stays quiet and let’s the moment speak for itself baseball is not meant to have announcers yelling and screaming their job is to announce and call play by play and tell you facts every once in a while

[@DMalltheway]

And out of the league within a few years after that.

[@The_54Gaming]

at 0:05 the Indians knew they just choked

When that happened I remember thinking "Yeah, they're not gonna lose this game."

[@bluemarshmallow5927]

Sorry Addy, not gonna miss ya.

[@MikeNapoli1989]

BlueMarshmellow it’s sad that he was not a very good player after 2016. I guess his highlight in 2017 was hitting that double off max Scherzer in game 5 but other than that, nothing.

[@rasheedjeffries5754]

@@abakella no proof

[@coreyrowe2598]

@@rasheedjeffries5754 he did nothing to defend himself or deny the allegations. There's no way an innocent man would just sit there and let his name be tarnished like that if he really did none of the stuff he was being accused of. The MLB investigation also found him guilty and led to a suspension which Russell didn't even bother to appeal. I can't give him the benefit of the doubt knowing all that. It was a mistake even letting him come back in 2019 imo.
