Baseball is a timeless game. As long as they dont try to speed it up or mess with it, its wonderful.. Its unique in a hurry for no one. Each game a unique unpredicable outcome,but due to the long season. The best day in and day out will be in the postseason. I pray we never have another abominstion like 2020 with awful 7 inn doubleheaders cheating everyone, or Nba like goofy postseason where 1 2 the league gets in. Thats when u get games that nobody csres about the regular season. One sudden death wild card game was ok. Interesting, but last year was awful too many teams to follow. In empty stadiums with no people. Sucks, if theres no crowd nobodys going to watch on tv.. Its better live anyway. Plandemic ruined it since govt. Wouldnt let ppl go bc they mite get a flu bug , which it turned out hurt or killed no more ppl last year in the us than every other year before. I am shock ppll have become so dumb that they belive a virus last years now. But thats another story....just remember its all leading toward universal basic income...be careful. They are out to destroy education, and schools. Thet fear large crowds gathering...we are rrsponsible for our own conduct, morals matter. Fear not, God bless you all. Thanks for this tape, nice to see my fav. Players younger in this video. Love to all humans. Peace be with you. Christopher
I was born in 1967 but I hadn't had my 8th birthday yet. However we lived off 27th Street in Franklin, Wisconsin. Across College Avenue was Milwaukee. Those days I was just getting into ⚾️🧢baseball!🧢⚾️ By the time 1977 came around I was a full on baseball fan! I can remember sitting with my Dad listening to the Brewers on the 📻radio📻, Bob Uecker calling the games. It was pure bliss! I also lost my Dad. He passed in 1996 to cancer. My Mom 18 months before that to emphysema. I remember back in 1978 she hated baseball, or so she thought. She never wanted to go, but we conned her into going one night, and SHE LOVED IT! Her last few years she spent weeks on and off in the hospital. I can remember talking to her on the☎️phone.📞 We'd watch the game "together" and she'd be yelling, GET HIM OUT! GET HIM! HE WAS OUT YOU DUMB UMPIRES! LOL the nurses would come in and I'd hear them say SHHHH!🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫 I'd be giggling🤣😂on the other line! My Dad LOVED watching baseball on 📺TV📺 and it wasn't just the Brewers, although they were his favorite team! He loved all ⚾️Baseball!⚾️ Except the Yankees......lol. That goes back to 1978-1982. We had a feud with them like no other! However after my Mom passed my Dad got the diagnosis that he had inoperable lung cancer. Without any treatment they gave him 6 months. I moved up by him. I was back in Milwaukee, he had moved up north. We had "cable" but weren't able to get Brewers games then. Didn't have the Fox sports, or Bally Midwest like now. 🤔🤔Hmm🤔🤔🤔 what to do. I had gotten a 3rd shift job as a Manager at a retail store. I made decent money. So I took my savings and secretly ordered him DirectTV with the MLB package. I had arranged for them to come early. My Dad had been sleeping in more. I didn't know it yet but the cancer had moved to his lymph nodes, under his arms. They got there about 30 minutes after I got home from work at 8-8:15am. He was sound 😴💤😴💤😴asleep. So I helped them. I had moved the 📺TV📺he had in the kitchen, it was a small 13". I picked him up a 25" for the occasion. My Dad loved to sit in the kitchen and have his ☕coffee,☕read the📰📰newspaper,📰📰 and watch ESPN. Mainly MLB highlights. They had it all connected by 8:45-9:00am. They quietly showed me how to access the MLB channels, as well as other top channels he'd 👍👌love!💛👍👌 I started my Dad's pot of coffee. Made myself a snack, making NOISE💥💥💥💥💥 while I did so. It WORKED. Out came my Dad grumpy and grumbling, enough with the NOISE!! Then he saw the new 🖥TV🖥 and at first he looked at me odd. Why do I need such a big a$$ 🖥TV🖥 in the kitchen!??! I shrugged it off and said well turn it on. Fine! Grumbling some more....I gave him a hug. Wow I'm tearing up remembering this. It was set to the Brewers replay game. They'd show replayed broadcasts of previous games. He looked at me, HOW? I pointed out the kitchen window. There was the DirectTV satellite dish where I usually parked my car. He could now watch MLB games all day long, AND HE DID! It wasn't a cheap endeavor, but I'd do it AGAIN IN A SECOND! Sadly 4 months later, on July 4th, he lost his battle with cancer. They had given him 6 months, he fought, without chemotherapy and lasted 18 months. My Dad and I didn't always have the best relationship with each other. He had issues. I ended up having mine. But he was always my Dad. I was there helping him walk after he was in a coma for 2 weeks. During that time we became best buddies! We went Mini-Golfing 4-6 times a week, all summer long. I did the same for my Mom when she needed me as well. I MISS them so much! We had so many wonderful moments and memories at Milwaukee County Stadium!🏟 Meeting Brewers players after games! Getting their autographs. And most crazy....seeing my Mom have an argument with Cecil Cooper in the parking lot where the players parked. There were 3 or 4 kids waiting for autographs and Cooper who wasn't the most friendly player when it came to autographs, said no. We shouldn't bother him. It happens, but with him it happened more often than not. So of course my Mom barked. You mean you can't spend 5 minutes signing autographs for THREE KIDS?!?! He barked back NO! EMBARRASSING?😳😳😳😳😳 Of course another Mom jumped in.🙄 😲OMG!😱 So their bickering lasted 5 minutes, and like a smart @ss, I said if you'd have signed the autographs you'd have been gone already. LOL! He didn't sign, and what's more, these women(My Mom!) actually told George Bamberger, the Manager! I thought for sure I was going to be outlawed by the team. But nope. Mr Bamberger actually gave me a yearbook and it had his signature in it! These were memories I have been so lucky to have experienced. As for my Mom? My WONDERFUL MOTHER! She only did what she ALWAYS DID! She looked out for me! Wanted the best for me! It may have embarrassed my then, but I look back and see how precious and incredibly loving and wonderful my Mom was! I miss her so much as well! I apologize for such a long comment. But the fact is the Brewers, both the 🧢players,🧢the managers, and the 🏟🏟Stadium🏟🏟 were a HUGE part of my life. Mike Caldwell gave me his home baseball🧢cap at the last home game in 1978. That and meeting Bob Uecker, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Gorman Thomas, Ben Oglive, Moose Haas, and so many Moore....Charlie Moore to be exact.......LOL! These precious memories will be forever in my heart!! It's also why the Milwaukee Brewers will ALWAYS be my all-time favorite team! Number #1 always and forever! GO BREWERS GO!!!!!!!!!!
So many memories, I’m the American League batboy in this game. As the Brewers batboy for 4 years 1975 was my last year and it was very cool to be the batboy for this game. Memories from warming up Carew before the game, meeting Henry Kissinger in the dugout pregame, shaking Yaz hand at home plate after his hr, sitting next to and chatting with Mantle every inning, staying very late in the clubhouse waiting for Mantle, Martin et al to finish all the beers etc…so many more. A great era
Watching the player introductions, it is evident that EVERY one of these guys is either in the Hall of Fame or deserves to be. This was indeed the golden age of baseball!
I was 12 and vacationing in New Hampshire with my grandparents and my sister we had no tv in our cabin but I listened to every pitch on the am radio. And now, at 58 years of age, I get to watch it. Ain’t that something?
Wow, what a powerful moment, Henry Aaron's introduction ovation, in his record tying 24th All Star Game appearance, and the last of his illustrious career, while showing the video of him breaking the all time home run record. My eyes welled up seeing this, this is/was class/respect personified...
@@johnfarr2738 Hank has always been loved by Milwaukeians and still is to this day. He always said he loved Milwaukee. Imagine playing in a city where civil rights had little impact on your life then getting moved to to one where racism was huge? Hank said many times that he recieved many threats while playing in the south and feared it. I think it wouldve been great for him to have broken the record while playing in Milwaukee but in all seriousness, it did more for civil rights being it happened in the deep south. God bless hammerin Hank!!!
So refreshing to watch the simplistic introduction. Organ playing after each name. Today, we have to deal with “Coming up......the Geico insurance player introductions, followed by the Enterprise Rent a Car first pitch”
I’ll never forget that day. I was 13 years old when this game was played. I fell off my bike that afternoon and suffered a concussion. I ended up in the hospital and was put in a room with a Baltimore Colt player who had been injured in training camp. I was excited about that but was really upset that I might not get to watch the All-Star game. I kept bugging my mom to get me out of the hospital, but every time they were ready to release me I’d get sick to my stomach again. Finally my stomach calmed down enough and they let me go home for the second part of the game.
Even though I was really young these are the players I looked up to as a child. I remember players like Reggie Jackson, Rod Carew, Fred Lynn, Cecil Cooper, Jim Rice, Mike Schmidt, Pete Rose, and many many others. These were the days when you could look up to a ball player, but it isn't like that anymore, oh I miss the good old days.
Yeah you could never look up to a guy like mike trout. Give me a fucking break. Everyone thinks their childhood times were the only ones that mattered or were “tough” or “the best”
I used to love going to the ballpark (Tiger Stadium) and getting the All Star ballot and dropping them in the box. The 70s were great baseball years to be a kid. Bat day, cap day, and ball day were staples at the park and baseball cards filled my pockets.
A joy to watch. Brings back great memories. This was the golden era of baseball, at least for me it was. The players, the announcers, even the commercials were better lol. Thx for the upload.
"Goose" Gossage and Bucky Dent as Chicago White Sox players back then would be destinies' darlings three years later at Fenway Park as members of the New York Yankees in a sports epic.
Michael Miller At the time, the top two teams in the National League Western Division, the Dodgers were coming off of a 1974 World Series appearance, while the Reds would make it to the 1975 World Series, both teams were loaded then...
Seen Bonds as a rookie in Cincy and i agree with you ,but hes a hall of famer along with Clemens ,20 Strikeouts as a rookie ,so baseball let it happen and we watched know ing Brady Anderson hit 50 .Barry deserves hall
Americana just oozing through the screen. My dad took me to pretty much every Padres game in the 70s. These announcers still give me chills. Count your blessings everyone.
I have 1 of 3 sets of banners that hung in County Stadiums concourses that hosted this all-star game. The banners said welcome players (one letter per banner) along with a team symbol on the opposite side. It payed to be neighbors with the person who played Bernie Brewer. Ive got to meet many players and got some of their equipment too.
And I had no idea there was so much involved in being on deck. But Joe Torre set us all straight and did it while looking like the Fred Flintstone of our National Pastime! That's why he's a Hall of Famer!!!
2:35:20- Here is the late, great Walter Alston. The only man who could say he led the Dodgers franchise to a World Series Championship in both Brooklyn AND Los Angeles!❤
They have completely - repeat, COMPLETELY - ruined baseball. It is my favorite sport - and I do not watch any longer...game sucks now..they've taken everything away from the game that makes it unique - all for reasons other than for the betterment of the game. Pitch clocks, inter-league play, etc....you can have it.
@@zombiewooof 100% agree with you. Growing up from the mid 70's to the mid 80's. I absolutely loved baseball. I spent a lot of my time either playing or watching it. I have NO interest in the modern game at all.
I was at this game with my father and a bunch of co workers from his office and some of the kids. One of them Carl was his name wanted a hot dog cuz he hated brats my father made me go down with him so he did not get lost. I could care less about him at that point this was an ASG and I did not want to miss a single pitch. But I went down with him just as YAZ tied up the game with his 3 run HR I was so pissed and I saw my father when I came back I just looked at him and he felt so bad. In 1986 I fot to meet YAZ at a card show and he signed the program I told him my story he laughed then he signed TO TIM SORRY YOU MISSED HR BALL
"From the St. Louis Dodgers"???? I'm sure I'm not the only one who caught that one while he first announced Steve Garvey! LOL Announcer just got ahead of himself. No big deal, I guess. I was 7 - almost 8 that year.
note,,, Yastremski is NOT wearing a batters helmet. 1971 baseball required players to wear a helmet. players playing BEFORE 1971 could still wear a hat.
Was at this game with my father his co workers and there kids. One kid Carl was his name wanted to get a hot dog said he was starving for one and all they sold were BRATS in Milwaukee. Some vender told him you want hot dogs you got to go down stairs to get them. My father turns to me and say hey go down with him so he don't get lost I felt like I could care less about him this is the all star game and I don't want to miss a pitch. So my old man forces me to go he says don't worry I give you an update when you get back. The AL is losing 3-0 and YAZ is coming up with 2 men on as I go down the tunnel I hear the crack of the bat YAZ just hit a 3 run homer and i missed it.
Wonders never cease on this broadcast, like the PA announcer seeming to introduce "Harry Kissinger", and earlier one of the NL players sounded like they were with the "St. Louis Dodgers". Great game on a traditional grass ballfield, loaded with memorable greats and studded with future Hall of Famers, Aaron getting his Milwaukee royal welcome, honorary captains Musial and Mantle, etc. Nice oddities too that you'd never see, such as the A's All-Stars sporting 2 or 3 different versions of their uniform. Glen Campbell singing a beautiful national anthem with feeling, though were one or two of the words wrong? And finally, all those precious commercials!
Funny how this game ends with soft tossing Randy Jones on the mound for the NL to be the "closer." Jones would win the NL Cy Young award the next season in '76 while striking out only 93 batters in 315 innings pitched. Jones struck out only 196 batters combined in 1975-76 while pitching exactly 600 innings... but he won a total of 42 games those 2 seasons(20 & 22).
@Wayne Atkinson That is so right, the Reds are/were ranked 1A, and the Pirates are/were ranked 1B, in regards to the top teams in the National League in the 70's. They were two very evenly matched ball clubs, and both were loaded with great players top to bottom...
@@ShawnC.T. I still imagine as many back in the day Pirates fans do. The 1972 World Series against Oakland that never happened. Ironically the pitching that, obviously besides Clemente, beat Baltimore in '71 would be a disaster for the most crucial inning in the NL Playoffs at Riverfront. A potential dynasty wasted by not only the Johnny Bench home run but by the terrible Bob Moose wild pitch. The Pirates versus A''s in the 1972 World Series? Who would have won?
Was at this game with my father and his co workers and kids was a great game remember the YAZ HR I missed cuz one of those kids wanted a hot dog not a brats and my father made me go down with him so he won't get lost (GRRRRRRRRR) I met Yaz at a card show and told him the story how I missed his only ASG HR he laughed and signed TO TIM SORRY YOU MISSED HR BALL CARL YASZTREMSKI
I always got a kick out of seeing some of the A's players wore green uni's, others wore the gold ones, and Claudell Washington wore their White uniform, all in the same game. One has to think that there was no effort by the league or even the players themselves to coordinate it, they were probably just told to wear home uniforms, and of course, the A's wore all three of their uniforms at home during those years, so they must have just individually grabbed whichever one they wanted to wear.
Great game! And that's the summer that the movie "Jaws" came out! People were terrified to go to the beach, take a shower or to even drink a glass of water! Stinky, stinky summer! Ah memories! By the way, how about that branding from BF Goodrich, huh? "We're the other guys!" And what's with the announcers reminding Kubek that a ball struck him in the Adam's apple during the 1960 World Series? Dude coulda choked to death. Not a good memory for that guy.
I was always an American League fan, so the all-star games in the 70's (except for 1971) always sucked. Until I was in my 20's, I only ever saw my team win once.
I love these classics!The NL had alot of power in 1975! The NL would continue it's dominance over the AL who wouldn't win another All Star game until '83.
Yaz, swinging a bat the size of a telephone pole, drills a homer on the first pitch he sees from the great Tom Seaver in the sixth inning at the 2:14 mark. He was 5-5 on the Sunday before the ASG break and was red-hot, as The Franchise quickly learned.

Michael Miller At the time, the top two teams in the National League Western Division, the Dodgers were coming off of a 1974 World Series appearance, while the Reds would make it to the 1975 World Series, both teams were loaded then...
...and Jerry Reuss too.
ballot box stuffing
@@ShawnC.T. especially that Cincinnati red team boy what a line up....
Then the American League was Oakland, Yankees, and rod carew.
Love the old classy organ during the intros.
Sone thing which I was supprised wasnt implimented at camden .
Organist was the late Frank Charles who also played for Milwaukee Bucks basketball games
0:01 Bill Wendell: "The following NBC Sports program is brought to you in living color."
a perfect year for baseball i was 10 i remember all of these players well. must be getting old its like yesterday to me
Love these old broadcasts. Thanks for the post!
I didn't know Garvey played for the St. Louis Dodgers.
Sure he did and finished his career with the Pittsburgh Padres
Lol
75 white Sox had a boatload of all stars and they sucked.77 white Sox kicked ass and only 1 all star
I love how the A's wore all three different color jerseys.
Wonderful All Star game, so many great players, I remember it like it was yesterday, so nice to be able to see again
Those were some great All Star team's.
A real all star game . Like 20 Hall of famers on or in this game . Amazing
19 HOFer's are in this all-star game ... WOW! , thats 19 out of 56 players participating in this classic 👌🏻
I was 12 years old and thought about how the Milwaukee Brewers use to be the Seattle Pilots back in 1969.
Thats why the brewers still wear their colors.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hank is the real homerun king.
Seen Bonds as a rookie in Cincy and i agree with you ,but hes a hall of famer along with Clemens ,20 Strikeouts as a rookie ,so baseball let it happen and we watched know ing Brady Anderson hit 50 .Barry deserves hall
@@thursey8237 clemens is NOT a Hall of Famer. Roid rage asshole
@@thursey8237 Barry deserves NOTHING! Pete Rose banned for betting, cheating? Barry cheated as well.
@@thursey8237 Clemens was not a rookie in 1986.
Not the real but the new homerun King. Their is only one first homerun king Babe Ruth.
Here to watch Joe Morgan. RIP to one of the greatest
Thank you.Well put.
Starters are Reds and Dodgers vs the american league. Just like I remembered.
Americana just oozing through the screen. My dad took me to pretty much every Padres game in the 70s. These announcers still give me chills. Count your blessings everyone.
Yaz vs seaver, awesome....3 run no doubt home run by number 8...185 pounds of sinew and toughness, Carl Yaszstremski...red sox fan
Umpire- “Yaz.....you forgot you’re batting helmet”
Yaz- “ Hold my beer “
I noticed that too. At this time there were still a couple players left that didn’t wear batting helmets: Bob Montgomery and Tony Taylor come to mind.
@@jamesdye8473 I think Monty was the last player to never wear a helmet, played into the 80's I think.
Top 10 moment in MLB History.Reds fans opinion.
I have 1 of 3 sets of banners that hung in County Stadiums concourses that hosted this all-star game.
The banners said welcome players (one letter per banner) along with a team symbol on the opposite side.
It payed to be neighbors with the person who played Bernie Brewer. Ive got to meet many players and got some of their equipment too.
I was 7 years old don't remember the game but my dad loved baseball I miss him dearly
Brings back memories of hearing Curt Gowdy's call of No. 715 during the introductions.
My dad took me to Fenway in 1975 RedsvsRedSox World Series.
Wow, just amazing, one of the best lineups ever.
1971 lineup was better
Wow, it just hit me how many of these players are no longer alive, may all of their souls R.I.P. always...
Yes it's called life, we all die!
@roberthuot7887 It's called being a 💩head, you have that mastered...😄
Friggin' Curt Gowdy! Rose makes the first hit, "There goes your no-hitter" Jesus! What a riot!
When baseball was baseball and the announcers were announcers!
Baseball misses you. It needs you. You Love the game. RIP .
The 70s were still feeling their way out/soul searching by 1975. They hadn't become the 70s yet; probably not until 76.
And I had no idea there was so much involved in being on deck. But Joe Torre set us all straight and did it while looking like the Fred Flintstone of our National Pastime! That's why he's a Hall of Famer!!!
2:35:20- Here is the late, great Walter Alston. The only man who could say he led the Dodgers franchise to a World Series Championship in both Brooklyn AND Los Angeles!❤
I like how during the introductions, each player rates how much applause they get
Edward Bliss The introductions of the players was always one of my favorite things to see in regards to the All Star Game...
I felt bad for George Scott being introduced right after the Hank Aaron standing ovation. It's hard to top the home run king.
come for the game, stay for the commericals.
Facts
RIP Little Joe. Gonna watch him work an All Star broadcast after this
God. Thanks. Joe Morgan was special.
Wow great lineup for both teams
I was a month away from being in the world what a great era for baseball
Reggie, Tenace, Dark, Vida and Bertie wore different uniforms for the same team LOL! It’s a shame Finley couldn’t afford to pay these guys..
1975: Magical Baseball Season
Nolan Ryan two no hitters
This was the last All-Star Game called by Curt Gowdy.
When the Milwaukee Brewers were in the American League, which is where they still belong today.
I used to like the AL Brewers too.
Amen
They have completely - repeat, COMPLETELY - ruined baseball. It is my favorite sport - and I do not watch any longer...game sucks now..they've taken everything away from the game that makes it unique - all for reasons other than for the betterment of the game. Pitch clocks, inter-league play, etc....you can have it.
@@zombiewooof 100% agree with you. Growing up from the mid 70's to the mid 80's. I absolutely loved baseball. I spent a lot of my time either playing or watching it. I have NO interest in the modern game at all.
Great job singing the national anthem. Beautiful!
Agreed
Rip vida blue,
I was at this game with my father and a bunch of co workers from his office and some of the kids. One of them Carl was his name wanted a hot dog cuz he hated brats my father made me go down with him so he did not get lost. I could care less about him at that point this was an ASG and I did not want to miss a single pitch. But I went down with him just as YAZ tied up the game with his 3 run HR I was so pissed and I saw my father when I came back I just looked at him and he felt so bad. In 1986 I fot to meet YAZ at a card show and he signed the program I told him my story he laughed then he signed TO TIM SORRY YOU MISSED HR BALL
Must've been something to have Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, RandyJones, Don Sutton and Catfish Hunter in the bullpens back then.
How cool would it be going to watch a game with Mantle, Williams and Musial.
5 out of 9 AL starters from Oakland. And 3 Yankees.
Really enjoyed the Joe Torre interview at the start
He was a great on-deck hitter! 😉
Hysterical
Curt Gowdy, Joe Garagiola & Tony Kubek on NBC.
Gowdy (PBP) Garagiola/Kubek (C) 1st half
Garagiola (PBP) Gowdy/Kubek (C) 2nd half
William Dunphy Great times
@@spirg It was.
What a treat, thank you!
Lefty Koufax bbb
2:14:40 The crack of the bat when Yaz homers is incredible. NBC’s microphones back then were great. A unique sound.
Back when MLB players played hard and cared about winning the game.
"From the St. Louis Dodgers"???? I'm sure I'm not the only one who caught that one while he first announced Steve Garvey! LOL Announcer just got ahead of himself. No big deal, I guess. I was 7 - almost 8 that year.
note,,,
Yastremski is NOT wearing a batters helmet.
1971 baseball required players to wear a helmet.
players playing BEFORE 1971 could still wear a hat.
Gary Carter (in left field!) catches Carew's fly ball for the final out of the game
baseball was so great back when just about every player looked like they could have been anybody's dad..
21:46 please welcome from the St-Louis Dodgers, Steve Garvey.
Was at this game with my father his co workers and there kids. One kid Carl was his name wanted to get a hot dog said he was starving for one and all they sold were BRATS in Milwaukee. Some vender told him you want hot dogs you got to go down stairs to get them. My father turns to me and say hey go down with him so he don't get lost I felt like I could care less about him this is the all star game and I don't want to miss a pitch. So my old man forces me to go he says don't worry I give you an update when you get back. The AL is losing 3-0 and YAZ is coming up with 2 men on as I go down the tunnel I hear the crack of the bat YAZ just hit a 3 run homer and i missed it.
Wonders never cease on this broadcast, like the PA announcer seeming to introduce "Harry Kissinger", and earlier one of the NL players sounded like they were with the "St. Louis Dodgers". Great game on a traditional grass ballfield, loaded with memorable greats and studded with future Hall of Famers, Aaron getting his Milwaukee royal welcome, honorary captains Musial and Mantle, etc. Nice oddities too that you'd never see, such as the A's All-Stars sporting 2 or 3 different versions of their uniform. Glen Campbell singing a beautiful national anthem with feeling, though were one or two of the words wrong? And finally, all those precious commercials!
Gro up, Golub
Well put sir.
Vida going with the all yellow uniform! The A's didn't use that color combination much that I can remember.
Blue banana...
Funny how this game ends with soft tossing Randy Jones on the mound for the NL to be the "closer." Jones would win the NL Cy Young award the next season in '76 while striking out only 93 batters in 315 innings pitched. Jones struck out only 196 batters combined in 1975-76 while pitching exactly 600 innings... but he won a total of 42 games those 2 seasons(20 & 22).
Randy knew how to pitch he used the whole plate.....he didn't have to strike everyone out
No shit, Sherlock
He had 1 base on balls that yr. ....lol. Maddux was the last real pitcher who had to of watched Jones.
I remember being so mad that he won the Cy Young because I wanted Tom Seaver to Win It
A Pirates pitcher throwing to a Reds catcher. Bitter rivals, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in the 70s. Teammates on this night.
@Wayne Atkinson That is so right, the Reds are/were ranked 1A, and the Pirates are/were ranked 1B, in regards to the top teams in the National League in the 70's. They were two very evenly matched ball clubs, and both were loaded with great players top to bottom...
@@ShawnC.T. I still imagine as many back in the day Pirates fans do. The 1972 World Series against Oakland that never happened. Ironically the pitching that, obviously besides Clemente, beat Baltimore in '71 would be a disaster for the most crucial inning in the NL Playoffs at Riverfront. A potential dynasty wasted by not only the Johnny Bench home run but by the terrible Bob Moose wild pitch. The Pirates versus A''s in the 1972 World Series? Who would have won?
@@sixtiesschlitz1638 God only knows that answer, R.I.P. Roberto Clemente, and Bob Moose...
Loved Glen Campbell singing the national anthem!
I can hear Southern nights as I rode my big wheel at dusk. Tears.
Was at this game with my father and his co workers and kids was a great game remember the YAZ HR I missed cuz one of those kids wanted a hot dog not a brats and my father made me go down with him so he won't get lost (GRRRRRRRRR) I met Yaz at a card show and told him the story how I missed his only ASG HR he laughed and signed TO TIM SORRY YOU MISSED HR BALL CARL YASZTREMSKI
Randy Jones gets the final three outs..... Garvey and Wynn hitting back-to-back homers... great memories...
Within weeks, Billy Martin would be managing the Yankees.
Umpires (37:27)
HP Bill Haller (AL) (Crew Chief) (3rd)
1B Chris Pelekoudas (NL) (3rd)
2B Marty Springstead (AL) (2nd)
3B Bruce Froemming (NL) (1st)
LF Russ Goetz (AL) (2nd)
RF John McSherry (NL) (1st)
As a 10 year old watching this game, all I remembered was Gossage hitting the 3B coach in the backside with a throw in the late innings...
Yaz yoked the homerun and wore no helmet - awesome!
When baseball the game was fun to watch... Yaz was my favorite Red Sox growing up... Until David Ortiz came along...
Donald Mousseau David ortiz equals steroids
rf umpire McSherry was the umpire who collapsed on opening day in Cincinnati in 1996. sad. he was 51.
No shit, Marcus Welby
I always got a kick out of seeing some of the A's players wore green uni's, others wore the gold ones, and Claudell Washington wore their White uniform, all in the same game. One has to think that there was no effort by the league or even the players themselves to coordinate it, they were probably just told to wear home uniforms, and of course, the A's wore all three of their uniforms at home during those years, so they must have just individually grabbed whichever one they wanted to wear.
Oakland uniforms still the coolest.
I like the road uniforms from the phillys....late 70's
Great game! And that's the summer that the movie "Jaws" came out! People were terrified to go to the beach, take a shower or to even drink a glass of water! Stinky, stinky summer! Ah memories! By the way, how about that branding from BF Goodrich, huh? "We're the other guys!" And what's with the announcers reminding Kubek that a ball struck him in the Adam's apple during the 1960 World Series? Dude coulda choked to death. Not a good memory for that guy.
The P.A. announcer said Bill Midlock - John Mitlack - "Doug" McGraw - Greg Luzoowski - Andy Meshersmith - ?????? -
I was always an American League fan, so the all-star games in the 70's (except for 1971) always sucked. Until I was in my 20's, I only ever saw my team win once.
I never knew Bobby Bonds played centerfield for the Yankees.
Met his son Barry Bonds once. Very cool guy.
NOW YOU KNOW!!
Milwaukee sure loved Hank⚾️⚾️❤️
I love these classics!The NL had alot of power in 1975! The NL would continue it's dominance over the AL who wouldn't win another All Star game until '83.
Amazing
Yaz, swinging a bat the size of a telephone pole, drills a homer on the first pitch he sees from the great Tom Seaver in the sixth inning at the 2:14 mark. He was 5-5 on the Sunday before the ASG break and was red-hot, as The Franchise quickly learned.
what a time for sports. ! "I think I'll be a layer" - Classic!
