The Groundbreaking Baseball Movie Nobody Talks About. 🚗👑
Billy Dee Williams, James Earl Jones, and Richard Pryor starred in "The Bingo Long Traveling All Stars and Motor Kings" in 1976. The movie was groundbreaking for betraying the The Negro Leagues and their legends, it's also a frontrunner for the most hilarious baseball movie ever.

Baseball's Most Underrated Power Bat featuring Jim Gentile 💎
Просмотров 6 тыс.5 месяцев назад
The story of Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris chasing Babe Ruth's record in 1961 will live on forever. Jim Gentile was quietly having a similar season in Baltimore. He finished third in MVP voting behind those two. All these years later, he's still receptive to talking about his career and is adamant that his would've looked differently had free agency been established. I agree. References at the ...

Whether you choose to view him as a left-handed Nolan Ryan before Nolan Ryan, or a glimpse into what Sandy Koufax's career could have been without arm injury... Neither seem to quite do Masaichi Kaneda justice, because he deserved to be a household name in Major Leage Baseball in his own right.

    I was at game 5 in Anaheim. My Army buddy from Lowell, Mass came to Anaheim where I lived to see me and my wife and we were going to the game. The field was surrounded by security and police ready for us to fly on the field and celebrate. Everyone was going crazy, including me. Then the pitch. The whole stadium was deflated. My buddy Marty was happy, him being from Mass.The rest is history. I just watched the Dodgers win game one of the WS with Freddie Freeman hitting a grand slam. Later I thought of the Yankees pitcher who gave up the pitch, Cortes, and it brought back memories and here I am. It reminded me of the Angel game, hopefully with a different outcome.

    The "14x" joke list (0:36) is juvenile and misleading. Bench was a 14-time All-Star, yes! The rest of the list is inane. 14-time critic of Pete Rose? (Why not 14-time advocate of Pete Rose? Bench went to Bud Selig so many times that Selig finally told Bench to stop trying to find a way for Rose to win back the trust he had lost.) Either way (critic or advocate) 14 is probably too low; but there's no way to know such a thing, obviously. 14-time husband? That's just silly. He has married again, August 2024, for the 5th time. But even Zsa Zsa Gabor was only married 9 times, and Mickey Rooney 8 times. You left out 14-time World Series Run Batted In. 14-time Plate Appearances against Pittsburgh in the NLCS (TWICE, in 1975 and 1979). 14-time Passed Balls in 1969. 14-time Putouts as a left fielder in 1970. 14-time Assists as a first baseman in 1983. 14-time Defensive Chances as a first baseman in 1979. The list goes on. ⚾🤪

    Man.. I really appreciate this.. Eric was my uncle and a very misunderstood man.. I feel you did him justice tho.. Les was a terrible human and physically and mentally abusive to My uncle, my mother, my Aunt and grandmother.. I never had a relationship with Les and I'm better for that.. The Pete Rose thing was just as you said it.. there was no disrespect towards Pete or the fans.. he really had pretty bad back problems and like most of us if you stop moving, shit starts hurting.. He felt terrible about hitting Dawson in the face and tried on multiple occasions to apologize and make it right.. My uncle was no racist.. people can believe what they want but, he despised racism and racist alike.. he was a wonderful person and went out of his way to help others.. he was incredibly intelligent and talented.. he was amazing on guitar, paino, drums bass etc.. he tought me guitar and piano when I was young. Unfortunately all the brilliance and talent weren't enough to control the addiction and unfortunately it cost him his life.. he died the day before my birthday in 94 and I haven't cared about my birthday since.. life can be cruel sometimes.. Anyway, a lot of people have painted him in a bad light and I feel you were very objective and honest and I truly thank you for that.. I think he deserved it.. it's hard to believe he's been gone for 30 years.. and he was number 30.. My mom still misses him everyday.. we have so much memorabilia from when he played.. so many autographed baseballs, bats, gloves, pictures etc.. my parents hallway still represents for him.. I miss him.. I hope he's at peace.. I hope to see him again some day.. Thank you for making this video.. all my best. M. Cifelli

      I'm really glad this video made its way to Eric's family. I appreciate the kind words, and the update on how you all are doing all these years later. When putting these videos together, I end up watching hours of a specific player. I have to say I really ended up rooting for Eric when he was on the mound. He seemed to have a very magnetic personality. It's a complex emotion, really liking a player, but trying to take care in not championing the drug use, trying to steer it towards something of a cautionary tale. It'd mean a lot to me if you see fit to send me a keepsake of some kind. But I'd prefer to not have my mailing address here on RUclips. You could email me at: milbhatbilly@gmail.com

She's actually done several interviews and features since my uncles untimely passing. I mentioned that I wanted to send you some memorabilia and she's on board. In fact she is going to reach out to my Aunt Cara Mia (Eric's widow as you know) and see if there's anything she wishes to contribute also. She still has quite a bit of his old gear and whatnot. I'll send you an email.. my last name is Cifelli just in case you get an influx of emails. Thank you again, I'll be in touch. Michael

Honestly, that's a level of kindness I haven't experienced much in my days of making RUclips videos, as you could probably imagine. 😂 It'd be a first in terms of receiving something like that. I have a pretty bare bones collection, which comes as a surprise to some. This video was made while I was still getting the hang of it all. Maybe in time, I could re-record it with my new microphone, and update that I've spoken with you all. That'd be awesome.

    What can I say? Best ever hitting and defensive catcher. When I was A kid, he was the guy to look to for A role model. He was what the game was all about. I have only seen him once have a look of discontent in regards to the game. He was asked about Rose. I interpreted his response as one of disappointment. "If you have kids, what do you tell them about the rules?" If professional athletes can actually be heroes he is on the top of the list. Thank You Johnny.

    Throwing sidearm doesn't take velocity off and throwing submarine only takes away a few mph. The reason they don't usually throw hard is they are usually typical pitchers who were told they didn't have the movement or velocity to make it to the big leagues without funk. Byung Hyun-Kim used to throw mid 90s submarine and now Ryan Thompson can reach 94 throwing submarine. Unlike many it seems in the comments. I believe if you're throwing the balls in even a slightly upwards motion you're a submariner because even sidearmers don't lift their arm up throwing. Everyone else brings it in some way down.
