Backwards K Pod; History Of Baseball In Milwaukee
Love you, Johnny! Loved you when I was growing up in the 70's and I love you still today! The Greatest Of All Times! Be well.
Shohei "The Sushi Bambino" Ohtani is laying 3-1 odds that Pete eventually gets enshrined in Cooperstown!
40 seconds of too loud, crappy music is all I could stand...
Funny…. Coming from a channel with zero content…. You make one, we’ll compare
@diamondsnakejake I'm a person, not a "channel". If I chose to make and download a video, I could do better stone drunk and after a lobotomy.
The San Diego Chicken had a great time rolling around on the ground with Morganna. I wouldve "accidentally" felt them big whoppers.
El mago oz mejor de lo mejor
Ever notice how much Ozzie Smith and Usher look alike
I just loved watching Ozzie Smith play shortstop, “The Wizard” is completely appropriate.
Rey Ordonez was even better
Ozzy Smith was a poor man’s Barry Larkin. Worse numbers than Barry year after year and yet, because he did gymnastics on the field, he gets the all star start.
Someone sounds butthurt.
You can't SERIOUSLY compare, Barry to Ozzie. Give me a break!!!
@@stephenbirkhead8329 numbers don’t lie and facts don’t care about your feelings. Ozzy was better at gymnastics, should have worn a leotard to play in.
The only player to play for the Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves.
My late father’s favorite player, thus my name. : )
Stan Musial is a baseball Hall of Famer, WW2 veteran who served his country and a man throughout his whole life a man of impeccable character. He is my all-time favorite baseball player.
One of mine also.
An excellent choice. Remarkable 1815 hits at home, 1815 hits away = 3,630 total lifetime hits.
Would've finished with approximately 4,600 hits if not for the big one.
OOooooh - That Stan the Man! He lived his life as gracefully as he played.
No doubt. I'm 69 and his mechanics with his fastball and devastating curve have not been seen since. The BEST of all time!
I remember when he threw a no-hitter against my Indians in ‘93 while with the Yankees.
The most unique story in MLB history
I'd much rather watch a game @ Bake Bowl than in any modern stadium.
Johnny Bench is the greatest catcher to ever play. PERIOD. He was once photographed holding 7 baseballs in his right hand. We used to have a picture of that in 1970 when i was in first grade. Im a big Reds fan now because of guys like him, Rose, Perez, Foster, Concepcion, Griffey, and Geronimo. That was a great time to be growing up in Cincinnati. Bench always had a flair for the dramatic and hit a home run in the 1972 playoffs against Pittsburgh and his 389th and last homer on Johnny Bench Night at Riverfront Stadium on September 17, 1983.
Just listened to your podcasts on Gibby, and Vin Scully, nicely done. Keep up the good work, you got a new subscriber.
Rip lyman and jessica savitch
He was going to be an All Star, tragic.
That's right. He was a great hitter, CA acquired him from MN. Very shocking and tragic.
@@spy1965 Minnesota manager quit over the trade, destroyed dogout when told
At 0:58 - getting a hit off of Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley
My dad always talked about Koufax (whom I never saw pitch) and would take me to see Randy Jones pitch for the Padres whenever he could during the 75-77 seasons. RJ was my Koufax growing up.
One of the greatest ever. No big ego. Just played the game.
Still my favorite player ever. Yaz played through so many nagging injuries from about 1971 onward. A total warrior!
When I was 7 or 8, I went to a Dodgers home game in LA. Koufax pitched against Juan Marichal(sic). It was a one run game, complete game by both pitchers, and Maury Wills walked, stole second and third, and scored the winning run on a sc fly. Good old boring baseball, which I found spellbinding.
Goat. Kofax!
One of the greatest switch hitters in baseball history 💥⚾
I got to see him pitch many times. One or two runs is all he needed. A curve ball that could drop three feet and a 95 miles an hour fastball
Greatest pitcher ever!!!!!
The Bambino!
Who's his Daddy? Who's his Daddy? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Paolino Martinez
The baseball player who would become known as the great bambino, the sultan of swat, the king of crash and the clouses of clout. Babe ruth.
A hall of famer and one of the best from the country in the Caribbean. Pedro was so great.
One of my favorite pitchers of when i was a little boy. He definitely mean business whenever he was on the mound.
Bigger than life...
Ruthian
I met Sandy Koufax on Saturday, 25 March 1989. The day before Easter. Vero Beach, Florida during spring training. Got his autograph. He had his road greys on. I no longer have the autograph, However, I do have a photograph to prove it. He was a very nice man.
I'm 72 years old and a Yankees fan. 🥰 Koufax is the greatest pitcher I have ever seen; 🥰 bar none.!!!🥰🇺🇲🥰🇺🇲🥰🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
He also completed games,and not like guys today. I have been a Yankees fan all my life. I am 75 and he is the greatest I ever saw
Greg Maddox might have a say in this discussion.
Greatest catcher in MLB history.
For 6 years the goat!
For 6 years, the goat!
ONLY I WAS SELECTED SABRMETRICS MASTER PITCHER. EVER🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It sure did come at a price though.
The greatest pitcher of my lifetime. No doubt.
@@HelmutHare 2.57 on the road. Thats from 62-66. He was better than either Marichal or Gibson during that stretch. But they were also amazing. Gibson in 68 was unbelievable.
@@HelmutHare You have to look at adjusted ERA, and for his last five seasons, Koufax had an adjusted ERA of 1.67, which is spectacular. Of course, his first six seasons were nothing great, because he couldn’t find home plate with a sewing eye dog. But from 62-66, he really was the best pitcher in baseball. Lifetime, Koufax had an adjusted ERA of 131. If you consider Marichal, his lifetime adjusted ERA was 123 but he reached Koufax levels in 65, 66 and 69. As for Gibson, his lifetime adjusted ERA was 127 but he had a spectacular year in ‘68, with an adjusted ERA of 258 and he got 164 in 1969. Of course, Koufax was retired by then.
@@HelmutHare That’s a stupid comment.
Belated Happy 88th Birthday!
Batteries were named after him.
Al Kaline outlived the city of Detroit by 40 years. One of the really great members of the 3,000 hit club who often gets overlooked.
For Sure…. That’s why I do this… preserve the history…
299 or 399 homers.
Bench changed the fundamentals of the position. His hands were so big that he could catch the ball one-handed, which reduced the damage to his bare hand.
Simply one of the worst moments in MLB history.
Johnny bench best Cather ever trailblazer.
