Detroit Tigers 1984 World Series Game 5 Cutdown

Experience the top plays from the Detroit Tigers historic victory in Game 5 of the 1984 World Series!

[@Don.1984]

I had a dream the other night, the Detroit Tigers won the 2024 World Series.

[@user-ez1vm3ts3x]

Note how Vin Scully, at the crack of the bat, said "And there it goes...." and nothing else until Gibby had returned to the dugout, letting the picture, the players, and the crowd fill in the story. What a great announcer.

[@aspalovin]

I feel for fans that never got to see a game at Tiger Stadium... That house had a power to it. Many summers going to games there. It was pure.

[@jamesmatthew3681]

One of the best teams ever! 35-5 in the first 40 games, no one has ever done this before than these guys did!

[@leilanirocks]

@@jamesmatthew3681 Or since!

[@jsasu.3]

I was 13 back then and still have my Tiger hat from that game.

[@locutus442]

1984 was a magical year for the Detroit Tigers. They were unstoppable.

[@tomayres4237]

I wish Detail could. Get some of that Magic today!!!

[@jeffreyrobinson6628]

Starting 30-5 was unreal

[@buddmannable]

35-5 will NEVER be repeated!

[@aspalovin]

Bless You Boys... Thanks Dad for giving me this when it happened. We were there. I was young but I will never forget this

[@gregwddriver]

"Bless you boys, this is the year."

[@b-zoneonroku2020]

DON'T WALK HIM!!!

[@leilanirocks]

That roar at Tiger Stadium when Gibby hits the 3 run bomb off Gossage in the 8th sounds like a mighty wind, a tornado across an open prairie. No sound like it anywhere. It elicits fear. 🐯 ⚾️

[@jamesmoss3424]

The 1984 Detroit Tigers are brilliant. 😀👍⚾️

[@crlaw75]

I remember hearing the home run on radio. Wow...what a game! Bless you boys!

[@aspalovin]

I gotta say, My Dad was probably glad we were in the upper deck deck on the 1B line to get us outta there. lol. I vividly remember my parents hauling me through the revelry to get to the car.. It was fun, but a bit scary. I'd never seen adults lose their mind in joy before. I remember the ramps were wild.. outside wasn't too nuts by the time we bailed.

[@airfoilengine3799]

I was 14 and I remember it like it was 5 minutes ago. I'm in my 50's now.

[@michaelleroy9281]

RIP Vin Scully

[@ajaxmaintenance5104]

The 1984 Tigers, what a team! A 35-5 start out of the gate, and they never looked back.

[@TheJdc122167]

It's amazing 40 years have gone by & they've never won it again. The Royals won it the next year in 1985 & they went 30 years until 2015 until they won another one. In 1986 the Mets won it all & it's been 38 years since they've won one. In 1987 & 1991 the Twins won them. Now it's been 33 years since they've won one. Teaches us as baseball fans to NEVER take it for granted when you're favorite team is really good & winning. It could be a long time before it happens again. Believe me, I know as a Mets fan.

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

AND THERE IT GOES!!! Gibson hit both of them hard. but that 2nd one, even harder and farther.

[@Ferris82]

I was there 😍

[@terranceherndon3387]

My cousin Larry Herndon was key to that team

[@LeoWhalen1933]

That's awesome! Did he ever talk about it with you? I imagine this team was ridiculously fun to play for. This team, the 2013 Red Sox, 1988 Dodgers, and 1979 Pirates seem like the most fun teams ever. Had to edit: it was the 79 Pirates not 78. Typo...

[@fredfred3195]

Larry's Homer in San Diego earlier in the series was the spark that sealed an early series victory for Detroit. No quiet series for the quiet Man!

[@katemb72]

Yes he was 🎉🎉

[@paintedwarrior516]

Absolutely, what a group of ball players. They were something else, pitching, hitting, and defense. The love of the game, respect for Sparky, and the fun they had!! Great memories

[@reebuck6169]

Those were the days

[@c.moorejr190]

Must have been fun, in person!

[@lp8939]

Gibson was the fucking man!!!!

[@tommyparkerparker]

Earlier that day, Bob Costas was in New York hosting NFL 84 pre game show then after the show, Bob took a flight to Detroit for post game should the Tigers win which they did.

[@jimkennedy5202]

Whitaker was doing everything in this game.

[@kaio2212able]

He should be in the Hall of Fame especially if Alan and Jack are in.

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

No shit 🤣🤣🤣

[@voice_of_reason5604]

Saw highlights of this series on UK TV. Thought it was great.

[@billyidol2115]

First off, the utter Genius of Vin Scully to just shut up after "An THERE IT GOES!" Secondly, what I think a lot of people don't realize is the reason Gossage wanted to go for it, is because Gibson had never even gotten on bass versus Gossage up to that point of course. I think somebody posted it was like 13 different at-bats and Gibson never got a hit or got on base I believe

[@sammerz50]

5:20 was in Kidsongs: A Day at Old MacDonald’s Farm, towards the end of Take Me Out to the Ball Game.

[@flames24lightning]

The best way to interpret a youngster’s imagination 😂

[@donaldzinman2184]

If the Padres had Dennis Eckersely pitching in relief, they would have won. Oh wait.

[@panterabacon1655]

😂😂😂😂 you made my day man, respect.

[@fredfred3195]

Centerfield Bleachers. If you ever re watch the entire game, please make note of the innings from Aurelio Lopez (RIP). Lights out performance from Sr. Smoke.

[@pushing2throttles]

Baseball was still pure in 1984! As a lifelong Tiger fan, all I can say is "Thank you our beloved Detroit Tigers for the gift of being able to share the joy of this championship!"

[@TexWatson-sh8vf]

Agree! Sr. Smoke pitched lights out. San Diego was desperate for momentum and Aurelio mowed them all down! RIP

I miss the Tigers old park. But the new one looks nice too.

[@Unknown-user7]

7:24 lmao watch Gibson shove a fan

[@davidm4160]

He just swatted him off like a fly.

[@sananto6896]

It seems that the big crows years back, such in this game, were much more into the game. Maybe it was because there were a lot fewer MBL teams and there wasn't an over exposure like today.

[@dannydubya9410]

People are busy trying to record and post things to social media now. Takes all the authentic energy out of the crowd. Those fans were living in the moment, so there was nothing else to do but get engaged in every pitch

[@glenknapke6771]

Great team. Remember that for a long time. Chet the jet but not chet the cannon. He wasnt throwing out many runners from center. Maybe his arm was hurt?

Because it didn't cost them the came or the Series. When it happened, they were already losing.

Kirk gibson shoving a fan away goin to the dugout. What a prick. Had the physical ability to be the best ever. 220lbs and ran a 4.2 40. SMH

He's one of the nicest men you'll ever meet. When you see the way fans behave, you gotta protect yourself. Stay out of their way & let them get into clubhouse.

[@jaydogtitan-ok3vw]

​@charlesdemean3055 Have you seen Reggie running off the field after game 6 of the 1977 World Series like a tailback running a fan over? Pittsburghs Steve Nicosia beating the heck out of a fan in Baltimore after game 7 of the 1979 World Series, You're right, You gotta protect yourself.

Funny today you don't see players hats fall off. I guess that's bad marketing. .0001% they try to avoid..
