Hi could you do top ten screenlife movies? I want to get into them but I don’t really see anyone make a list of them if they are good or not

[@christorres2197]

Roberto Clemente is one of the best and truly started tearing up seeing this. He had so much baseball left in him. There’s no telling how many records he would have broken 💪🏽

[@markzuckergecko621]

Yea he got to 3,000 quick, I wouldn't say he had a lot left in him, but he was pretty young compared to most other players that get there. That's typically your last hoorah, when you're kinda limping towards the finish line.

[@9y2bgy]

For me, No.42... It's hard to be the first of anything let alone to be the first knowing you will be the lightening rod for vitriol and rabid hatred. And at the end of it all still remained free of anger and resentment. He lived a great life bc he used his sport as a way to motivate people in all walks of life. Respect for the human being he was, not just a baseball player.

[@joshuawatts5378]

#8 always gets me choked up. It's such a simple thing for the batter to do. I've been a pitcher and had one get away from me like that and its a truly terrible feeling.

[@JBDude52]

Top 3 (In my opinion): 1. Retiring Jackie Robinson's number 2. Sara Tucholsky's home run 3. The Vin Scully tribute at Dodger stadium If there's any moments of respect in baseball, maybe even sports history, it would be Jackie Robinson's retirement. It is so inspiring and beautiful, it would be hard to beat, the story was even made into a movie too. The respect in Sara's home run was insane, I couldn't believe they helped her get across the bases for her home run, now that's great sportsmanship. And of course, for the late Vin Scully, sportscaster legend, this was a great tribute, I didn't even know he passed away this year, it's because I live in Australia, but I do enjoy these moments.

[@jeffreylindahl5895]

Good sportsmanship is everywhere. One of my favorite ones is when Coach Lloyd Carr's grandson got cancer and the college football rivalries in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana ceased for several weeks and when news broke that he had died the entire Midwest came together to send that sweet little boy home with his grandpa in heaven. Very few things unite this country anymore but sports and good sportsmanship do.

[@ARTSONICFAN990]

The Derek Jeter moment is one of the most wholesome moments in baseball history... Because he even got the Red Sox's respect. That's when you know your a baseball GOAT.

[@markzuckergecko621]

I'm a Yankees fan, and as tense and vicious as the rivalry is, there's also a part of you that loves the Redsox and Redsox fans, because that's such a big part of what makes being a Yankees fan so fun. If I randomly saw David Ortiz walking down the street I would probably give him a hug, lol, like dude you suck, but I love you🤣 I think he would get that without me even having to explain further.

[@ARTSONICFAN990]

@@markzuckergecko621 You & I are not so different. Cause even though I'm a Yankees fan as well, part of me also respects the Red Sox... And one of the main reasons why IS because of David Ortiz.

[@munkustrap2]

I grew up despising the Yankees. I began watching when Munson & Pudge (Carlton Fisk) were playing so the hate flows deep. But even I admire Derek Jeter. A class act player who we loved to watch, even at Fenway.

[@ARTSONICFAN990]

@@munkustrap2 I understand what you mean. I'm not a huge fan of the Red Sox, but I admire & respect David Ortiz.

[@tyrranicalt-rad6164]

There's no crying in Baseball !!!

[@DominickRuocco]

I love seeing a list with 4 New York Yankees on it. Some of these moments are so emotional.

[@markzuckergecko621]

Love em or hate em, no team in American sports has more history. That's why so many people hate them.

[@markzuckergecko621]

My favorite will always be Sammy Sosa racing in from right field when Mark McGwire hit #62, to congratulate him and give him a hug. They were locked in one of the craziest battles in baseball history, chasing the record together, in the same division, playing against each other all year but they always respected each other and carried themselves with dignity. Talk about steroids if you want, that's fair, but those 2 guys really understood how heavy what they were doing was.

[@jeffreylindahl5895]

True Sportsmanship.

[@MrMementoMori]

I cried when Bobby Cox got that standing ovation.

[@bennymora3086]

#8 is really sweet, even they don't care about being in rival teams💪

[@tiffanymachelleyoung]

And what was really great about it to me was that the kid he hit came over before the pitcher’s own team

[@Florin9813]

We love you Vin your up there in the big blue dodger sky calling games for the big man upstairs.

[@JamesDavy2009]

He and Richard Benaud (the face of cricket) would be rubbing shoulders.

So many ninjas cutting onions in here. Great video btw.

[@DavidElkind42]

0:47 - Mariano Rivera is not "considered one of the greatest closers of all time", statistically he IS the greatest closer of all time.

[@bigcone0w020]

I feel like the little leaguer spot should be higher up in the list

[@josephsiano7557]

Luv that respect 😮

[@pzza1097]

You know that baseball video where there's a gym muscle guy who can't even open a bottle of water? I don't know but respect that guy.

My respect to that little leaguer📈📈📈

[@scotte8315]

I liked this episode

[@randlewhitney6560]

This is what sports is about

[@DASCO2136]

One moment that stands out to me that isn’t included: When the Cleveland Indians had their 22 game win streak snapped in Cleveland, all of the fans gave the team a standing ovation and the team in turn, came out of the dug out and returned the favor to the fans. I was there and that gave me chills

[@msn64man1]

Good sportsmanship

[@jacobasuncion3132]

[@14isoldenough]

So the crowd is clapping while the kid that got hit is on the ground in pain. Nice.

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Oh boy!

[@MKF30]

Mo aka Mariano Rivera is the only HOF to get in 100% unanimously! Just saying. Great video. He did indeed break like a million bats...that cutter was out of this world literally. Also ftr he should be way higher being the best closer in the history of baseball...

[@markzuckergecko621]

He was the best pitcher of all time that only threw one pitch. Not literally 100% of the time, he would throw a 2 seamer or a slider once in a blue moon just to keep the hitters honest, but he probably threw 95% cutters or even more.

[@MKF30]

@@markzuckergecko621 That was his main pitch but he did have a slider and fastball too(every pitcher has to have a fastball) but yeah that cutter would jam lefties and righties just couldn't do anything with it lol.😂 Now days it takes closer by random just to fill that role.

[@markzuckergecko621]

@@MKF30 he pretty much exclusively threw the cutter. It was pretty rare when he threw anything else, to the point where the commentators would always be surprised, like ok there's a 2 seamer. That's weird🤣

[@MKF30]

*@Mark Zuckergecko* He threw a lot of fastballs too to mix it up, I am lucky enough to live in NYC and watched every game if not on TV then live at the stadium haha he pitched in lol. The cutter was his go to pitch but that wasn't all he threw lol. When guys would expect it, he'd throw the 2 seamer and sometimes even if they expected it and knew it was coming they still couldn't hit the cutter haha.

[@lp-xl9ld]

My father claimed he'd been at Yankee Stadium on that day in 1939 (he'd have been 17) when Lou Gehrig said he was the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Certainly possible but couldn't be proven. Doesn't matter, though.

[@paulkowald4057]

[@DavidBayliff]

how about johnny bench in 1983 many teams honored him that year and the reds gave him his owe night and bench hit a homer

[@munkustrap2]

You left so many of these off just with the Red Sox alone you need a part 2 (Johnny Pesky tribute; Ortiz retiring; Ted Williams tribute; Nomar Garciaparra signing a 1 day contract to retire as a Red Sox player to just name a few). But leaving off the tribute to Jerry Remy after losing his battle with cancer is just disgusting! If you hadn't included a tribute to a retiring announcer I would've given you a pass, but you did, so you're a joke tbh!

Dee gordans joe run for Fernandez

[@markzuckergecko621]

He's not even left handed, and he's not even a power hitter. That was one of his only homers in the season. If that's not proof the baseball Gods are real, I don't know what is.

[@NandoA130]

I was inconsolable when Vin Scully died. It was like I lost a grandfather who taught me about baseball

[@markzuckergecko621]

It's alright though, just love what he did. He wouldn't have had it any other way, he spent decades in the sport he loved. I'm sure him and his family have no regrets.

[@NandoA130]

@@markzuckergecko621 absolutely 👏

[@markzuckergecko621]

@@NandoA130 I felt the same about Yogi Berra, that was my dude. But at the same time you gotta be more happy than sad, he won 10 World Series, he played with Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle, he coached World Series teams, he caught the only perfect game in World Series history, he was loved by absolutely everyone who ever wore a uniform with him and was so big even beyond baseball. I think he did alright for himself, his family can rest easy knowing he loved every second of it.

[@Yer_blue_angel]

My dad too. He had met him a while back at carls junior (2008/9) and had a dodgers jacket signed. I’m really glad he got that, as now he has something unobtainable. He loved him so much, he was such a nice guy to talk to. One detail he never leaves out when telling the story is that he had two milkshakes. Makes me laugh every time
