You definitely got your money's worth with Reggie. It's funny how empty the stadium used to be. Upper deck seats were cheap back then. Bleachers were like a buck fifty.
Lmfao this is the greatest HR celebration ever! Damn i miss when baseball was played like this, Winfield goin in hard at 2nd and getting filthy. Good times to be a fan.
Neil Ballantyne dude Watch it again. Its 385 to the FENCE where he hit it. And it looks like it may have hit the facade for christ sakes. That was a HUGE shot in the old yankee stadium
Kevin Michael When I was a kid, Yankee Stadium was 461 feet to straight away center, around 430 to left center. They shortened the dimensions in the 70’s.
Bill White and Frank Messer (RIP) two of the best announcers in the business to grow up with as a kid as a Yankee fan. With Phil Scooter Rizzuto...couldn’t touch ‘em.
@@mtp4430 exactly. “Old Yankee Stadium” that birthed modern baseball was destroyed in the 70s. This was a refurbished stadium. I loved this stadium but I also think the new one is great too. Anyone that went to a 2017 playoff game would agree
@@SleepyRainTrain I really liked the old Yankee Stadium. The 1st time I went, I remember thinking, man, that's the field where Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig played. Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle too. There was so much history in that old ballpark and it was pretty well maintained for a ballpark as old as it was. They should have kept maintaining it just like they do to Wrigley Field and Fenway Park because there was just so much history destroyed when they demolished the place. You really got the feeling of baseball history every time you walked in there. The facade, the monuments in center Field, etc. All exactly like they were when Ruth and Gerrig played there. All the old pictures are black and white, but when you walked into the stadium and saw it in full color, it was like going back in time. It was a shrine. And even in building a new ballpark, they should have left the old one standing as a landmark.
Reggie was recruited to play football for Frank Kush at Arizona State. Not only is he tough but very fast. He tackled Denny in a blink of an eye. And I'm sure he felt it too.
What a show, what a performance and theatrics from Reggie. He was a great entertainer for the game. Did you see how Winfield went into 2nd base, nobody plays like that anymore.
As a Yankees fan growing up in the late "70's, I'd always say Reggie was my Mickey Mantle. He was just such a badass at the plate. I'll never forget Reggie day at the stadium with the candy bars...good memories!!
Not only do these old Yankee videos take me back, I seriously can smell the mustard in the air from the hotdogs... Still can’t believe anyone would have the balls to tear Yankee Stadium down.
@@Olordrin not the same thing at all, Yankee Stadium and Tiger Stadium are classics. For Philly that would be Shibe Park, which was replaced by the cookie-cutter Veterans Stadium
I have the same feeling for the Boston Garden despite mine hating the Celtics and the Orange Bowl in Miami. I think it is like how we see in sports today, lack of traditional pride. I say it is the owners who think of money. I am glad Green Bay continue to renovate Lambeau Field to merge yesteryear to today, retaining their traditional value and matching up to what are needed in this day and age. I am not a Yankees fan, but seeing how they tore down the Yankee Stadium, I cringed at that. The uniform is another thing. I love seeing teams with traditional uniforms like when I saw the Steelers and Raiders. It is the mystique. Look at the Celtics uniforms. I hate the alternative, because it is beautiful. Now, we are seeing how the uniform is not treated with precious respect to team’s history. Stadiums and teams are afterthoughts.
One of my first SPORTS HERO! He wasn't cocky...he was simply that good!!! Recently watched his new documentary "Reggie" and it definitely provided additional insights into what made Reggie tick.
He was that good. And one of my favorites. But he was also a cocky jerk. I was lucky to chat with Nettles about him. It changed everything I thought about him as a person. Sometimes we have to respect just the athletic abilities in our heros. Sometimes we get both. A goat as a person, and athletics. See Walter Payton.
I loved when WPIX began using that special closeup of Reggie's at-bats where you only see him and not the usual wider shot to also see the pitcher. I could be wrong but I don't recall them ever using that shot for any other hitter. Maybe they did it for Winfield and Mattingly in later times, but it certainly began with Reggie.
I grew up watching Reggie with Oakland and I couldn't agree more about his batting stance...it was a thing of beauty. Natural power from a perfectly situated stance. Reggie had years when he batted above or near .300. That's when he was in his early prime, of course. He could sting the ball all over the field from that batting stance. And it never changed. He had the same stance at AZ state.
The foul-back at 2:09 tells it all. When a batter fouls a ball straight back, that means he has perfectly timed the pitch. That scares a pitcher, and narrows his choices.
"I've got your timing now, but I'll bet you don't have enough hair on your ass to throw me another one." ~ Jack Parkman I remember reading in Nolan Ryan's personal account of his fourth no-hitter how the last batter, Bobby Grich, fouled his fastball straight back for Strike 2. Knowing that Grich had the timing on his heat down perfect, Ryan threw him a changeup that had Grich so frozen all he could do was take it for Strike 3 to end the game and lock up the no-no.
He could have walked Jackson but not a "intentional walk". That would have been a smarter play. Since Winfield was already on second, it would have been a sly move.
I was at that game, 9 years old... just ordered a hot dog, and had to wait for the fight to end before I got it. I remember it like it was yesterday. Thanks for posting.
I remember the photo, but i thought it was Winfield carrying him off.i was in the last weeks of my naval base enlistment.later they lost to the dodgers in the world series.

Denny brought that on himself. You don't follow Reggie Jackson down to home plate and not pay a price for that. Mess with a bull and you'll get the horns. That's exactly what John Denny got - Welcome to the Bronx New York John Denny ! :-)
@@erikdorf2958 Reggie was from Wyncote, PA across the street from the Jenkintown train station not far from where Bradley Cooper came from. However between the alley street Reggie's house was on and other parts of Jenkintown and Wyncote is a difference of real rich and real poor. Might have been where the chip on his shoulder started going to Cheltenham High School.
Billy Martin would have taken that fight to a higher level. It would have started out on the field at Yankee Stadium and would have ended up back at the hotel after the game and maybe in the same restaurant they eat at. Remember how crazy Martin got when he got into a wild brawl with Ed Whitson. Martin was fearless. He'd fight anyone, anytime, anywhere. Billy Ball and Billy Brawl. He was short but nothing scared him.
I remember this. I was in the 6th grade in 81/82. It was Reggie's last year with the Yankees. Reggie was amazing with the Yankees the 5 years he was there.
Reggie in 1980 had the best year of his career and was almost an impossible out down the stretch. Reggie in 1981 was awful, and everybody thought he was done and it's why they never resigned him after 1981. He went to the Angels in 1982 and hit 38HR, but from 1983 on he was on the downside of the hill and really wasn't anything special, so I can't fault the NYY for moving on. But with who they replaced him with, Dave Collins/Ken Griffey/Steve Kemp, they may as well have kept him because he would have at least been a scary option in the lineup.
No you are wrong that slide would be totally legal in today's game, he slid directly into the base , the reason the rule was recently changed because of chase Utley go watch his side l slide and see how much more physical it was compared to this. Yea I get it players are tougher back in the day but you are wrong players these days will try and slide and take out your whole leg and try break it. This slide is directly in line of the base and over it this is just a hard slide
The umpires stood by and did nothing to stop the brawl. Mad respect to them. The best part of baseball is the bench-clearing brawl and the umps did not disappoint.
Saw my first game at Yankee stadium in 1981. Dave Righetti started the shock when I saw the speed of his first warm up pitch I still remember that I was 11. Then I blinked and I'm 49 what the hell
This clip made me respect Reggie even more. Took dude deep. Stared at it. Took a curtain call before he even touched home plate. Then charges the mound and beats the pitcher's ass. Reggie is a beast!
Being at the old Stadium when I was younger and feeling that vibe when Reggie came to bat....what an amazing entertainer he was ....a great ball player...a true Yankee
I have been looking for this forever . Would love to find the whole game. You would think the yes network would have this on yankees classic . Thanks for the post. They don`t make them like Reggie anymore pure hot dog and clutch as they come. The one he hit off the mad hungarian was amazing, hell he had to many to count
@@jakes3799 I'm so sick of the fact that stupid violent, macho, racist, bigoted, sexist, "joking" is justified by saying "it's just a joke" or "lighten up". Idiots all. I hope none of you have children.
@@JoelMortwhere in that video did you see "bigoted, sexist" behavior? People like you who go out of their way to be offended by everything are the real problem in today's world. Go back to your safe space and grow a skin (not a thicker skin, but a skin … we can talk about thickening later).
@@JoelMort Yeah, and again, REALLY, calm the fuck down. There was no racist, sexist, or bigoted joking here. If there was, maybe you'd have a point. What's left is not worth getting worked up about. The closest thing to offensive was YOU calling someone that you don't know an idiot over nothing.
Yeah i grew up listening to them and scooter starting in 1978.....memories of summer nights in the dark with my bedside am radio in the NYC metro area.....20 times better then tv or a compter....the simple things in life are the best....
Denny clearly opened the door for this by walking towards home plate...a very unwise decision. I think Reggie was just blowing off steam here. He probably sensed that his time in NY was coming to an end, and probably wasn't on the best of terms with George S.
Probably so and as much as I love Reggie, most pitchers don't take kindly to hitters that stare at the ball leaving the stadium. But after being knocked down by the pitch I probably would've done the same thing.
Steinbrenner came to regret that. Winfield was there to replace Jackson. Both Hall of Famer, but after watching Winfield for a while George said, "I got rid of Mr October and got Mr May."
That buzz at that old stadium! The good old days , I was playing little league at this time n watched the games with my dad all the time but I don’t remember this. Great vintage video!
The only time I ❤ the Yankees in my 62 years on this earth was from 1976 thru 1980..because of Reggie!.. All the other years I gave to the Mets since 1967... True story!
I remember going to the stadium when they were playing Kansas City in 81 and Oscar rolls up in his white Rolls-Royce and the license plate said Gamble.
Post-renovation Yankee Stadium was the only ballpark that used a camera to the left of second base, all others were to the right. The Yankees switched it in the late 80s to match other parks
I grew up listening to Frank Messer in the 70s and 80s. He was a great announcer for the Yankees. He would always do the post game show on the radio for Yankees games.
2:50 Damn...Forgot that Jackson/Winfield played together. That poor catcher running up on Jackson, and then Winfield takes him out...Glad he had his back.
Reggie Jackson played winter ball in Puerto Rico in the mid 70's still got the record for more home runs in the short winter league season....it was a pleasure seeing him hitting those monster shots
Seemed like everyone wanted to beat up John Denny, but he had the reputation for throwing at batters. Remember a story that Don Baylor told about the time when Denny threw at Bobby Grich, that started 2 fights!
If that was the game at Anaheim, I saw it on t.v. the first guy he hit was "Disco" Danny Ford right in the back. Both teams came out of the dugout just standing around. Someone said the wrong thing to Don Baylor and Baylor cracked him, and the fight was on. It lasted a good two to three minutes.
Knocking down Reggie was the worst thing a pitcher could do for your team. When you knocked Reggie down he got angry and when he was angry he hit the hell out of the ball.
@@bretyoung7235 Not much you can do when a 220 lb. former fullback who's pissed has you in a headlock and is riding you to the ground. Besides, it's not like you can roundhouse kick a guy on the ballfield without facing charges.
@Major Styles What are you talking about little girl? That made no sense, how long have you been making retarded comments on the internet and embarrassing yourself pumpkin?
Nice having big Dave at your back too. He laid out the catcher. Always was a Winfield fan. Saw him play in person many times. Took him like 3 strides to run to a base. Lol
Big contrast between Reggie and Dave . Winfield was a better all around player but Reggie got all the press because of his style. Give me the man who walked softly and carried the big stick-Winfield.
I was watching this on WPIX. Finally a Bobby Brown reference! I was telling some guys about him when he was called up to play Centerfield.mi love how Winfield, despite the friction between them, was right beside Reggie!
Watched this whole game live in Brooklyn NY on channel 11. The end of the Reggie Yankee era. Miss those days. Reggies career with the Yankees was winding down. REGGIE!! REGGIE!! REGGIE!!
I was living in the Cleveland area and saw this on the Indians TV broadcast. First time I'm seeing it since it happened. Always remembered Reggie being carried off the field by his teammates.
Both Jackson and Denny were ejected after this. Yankees won this game, Denny taking the loss. Funny, Denny started against the Yankees eight days later in Cleveland, and pitched a complete game, 3-2 victory. In 1982, Denny started twice against the Angels, where Jackson had moved, and Cleveland lost those games 3-0 and 15-0. In those three games, Jackson went 4-for-9 with a home run, two walks, and one strikeout against Denny. Apparently no major incidents, but Jackson sure did light him up. His revenge was long-lasting. After that, Denny moved to the National League where he would finish his career, never facing Jackson in a championship game again.
And won the National League Cy Young Award in 1983 and helped a veteran Phillies team get to the World Series, and was even the winning pitcher in the only game the Phillies won in that World Series (he also lost Game 4). But that was effectively the beginning of the end of his career. Arm problems caused him to retire just three years later.
@Charles McCarron - You have a point there. I do recall from listening to a lot of fans that many players thought twice on charging the mound against Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson.
Great to hear Frank Messer and Bill White
@saint jack that Huckleberry lol

Scooter must have been on radio that inning. Classic
Yeah !they bring back a lot of memories
Back in the days when you could charge a pitcher twice in the same game 😂
And they'd replay the fight on TV.
People realized getting hit with a 90mph fastball, was as much an assault as fighting. People werent as scared of fighting either.
😂😂
The second time he charged I'm like "he's still in the game? This must he pre-2000s."

It would have started out on the field at Yankee Stadium and would have ended up back at the hotel after the game and maybe in the same restaurant they eat at. Remember how crazy Martin got when he got into a wild brawl with Ed Whitson. Martin was fearless. He'd fight anyone, anytime, anywhere. Billy Ball and Billy Brawl. He was short but nothing scared him.
Thank you Reggie, you didn't play on my favorite team , but you were fun to watch. Congratulations on your great career.
I remember this. I was in the 6th grade in 81/82.
It was Reggie's last year with the Yankees.
Reggie was amazing with the Yankees the 5 years he was there.
It was 1981 that was the only year that winfield and jackson played on the same yankee team
Reggie in 1980 had the best year of his career and was almost an impossible out down the stretch. Reggie in 1981 was awful, and everybody thought he was done and it's why they never resigned him after 1981. He went to the Angels in 1982 and hit 38HR, but from 1983 on he was on the downside of the hill and really wasn't anything special, so I can't fault the NYY for moving on. But with who they replaced him with, Dave Collins/Ken Griffey/Steve Kemp, they may as well have kept him because he would have at least been a scary option in the lineup.
Does anyone where RJ came from before the NYY? Most people think the A's. Nope, the Orioles. He was there one year and had a hell of year.
George S. admitted it was his biggest mistake ever letting Jackson go.
Best mistake hitter ever?
When George referred to Winfield as Mr May! LOL
Reggie was a no nonsense player and he had no problem getting his point across 💫⚾️
Like Strawberry.
Winfield coming in hard at second would never be allowed today and that's a shame.
He was also a star football and basketball player in college.
No you are wrong that slide would be totally legal in today's game, he slid directly into the base , the reason the rule was recently changed because of chase Utley go watch his side l slide and see how much more physical it was compared to this. Yea I get it players are tougher back in the day but you are wrong players these days will try and slide and take out your whole leg and try break it. This slide is directly in line of the base and over it this is just a hard slide
Hal McRae used to throw those body blocks at second base… look out Willie Randolph!
The umpires stood by and did nothing to stop the brawl. Mad respect to them. The best part of baseball is the bench-clearing brawl and the umps did not disappoint.
I saw this live at Yankee stadium with my Grandfather when i was 7 years old.
I was at this game. Can't believe it's on RUclips. Amazing!
Saw my first game at Yankee stadium in 1981. Dave Righetti started the shock when I saw the speed of his first warm up pitch I still remember that I was 11. Then I blinked and I'm 49 what the hell
Same here
That's the greatest clip ever. Reggie takes a guy deep, then charges him and gets carried off while clapping.
I still consider him an Oakland A. Great team.
The people consider Wade Boggs A red sock
And they are actually some people who still consider David Ortiz a Minnesota twin
I definitely wouldn't want both Jackson and Winfield running towards me.
Especially after Winfield went after Nolan Ryan the previous year
nobody could cadillac around the bases quite like Reggie. and man he had the fastest wrists ever.
This clip made me respect Reggie even more. Took dude deep. Stared at it. Took a curtain call before he even touched home plate. Then charges the mound and beats the pitcher's ass. Reggie is a beast!
That tackle alone should've upped his slugging percentage.
Reggie back then was nothing to play with.He put fear in pitchers who dared thowed at him.J Denny paid the price
Being at the old Stadium when I was younger and feeling that vibe when Reggie came to bat....what an amazing entertainer he was ....a great ball player...a true Yankee
he stepped up to bat ...it was prime time, even if he struck out 85% of the time lol
What possessed Denny to follow Jackson like he did? That was insane.
I have been looking for this forever . Would love to find the whole game. You would think the yes network would have this on yankees classic . Thanks for the post. They don`t make them like Reggie anymore pure hot dog and clutch as they come. The one he hit off the mad hungarian was amazing, hell he had to many to count
Aww when baseball was fun to watch!!!
That's not baseball. That's stupid machismo violence. Idiot.
@@JoelMort that was a hockey game. But calm down and lighten the fuck up.
@@jakes3799 I'm so sick of the fact that stupid violent, macho, racist, bigoted, sexist, "joking" is justified by saying "it's just a joke" or "lighten up". Idiots all. I hope none of you have children.
@@JoelMortwhere in that video did you see "bigoted, sexist" behavior? People like you who go out of their way to be offended by everything are the real problem in today's world. Go back to your safe space and grow a skin (not a thicker skin, but a skin … we can talk about thickening later).
@@JoelMort Yeah, and again, REALLY, calm the fuck down. There was no racist, sexist, or bigoted joking here. If there was, maybe you'd have a point. What's left is not worth getting worked up about. The closest thing to offensive was YOU calling someone that you don't know an idiot over nothing.
Yeah i grew up listening to them and scooter starting in 1978.....memories of summer nights in the dark with my bedside am radio in the NYC metro area.....20 times better then tv or a compter....the simple things in life are the best....
Denny clearly opened the door for this by walking towards home plate...a very unwise decision. I think Reggie was just blowing off steam here. He probably sensed that his time in NY was coming to an end, and probably wasn't on the best of terms with George S.
Probably so and as much as I love Reggie, most pitchers don't take kindly to hitters that stare at the ball leaving the stadium. But after being knocked down by the pitch I probably would've done the same thing.
Steinbrenner came to regret that. Winfield was there to replace Jackson. Both Hall of Famer, but after watching Winfield for a while George said, "I got rid of Mr October and got Mr May."
@Sad Sack That's what I was thinking. We can't hear what Denny said. Jackson may have been justified to charge the mound.
eight inches don’t like someone staring at a long HR they hit? Don’t give up a long HR. It’s that simple
This is my father in law. 😂 seemed to have some beef with Reggie!
That buzz at that old stadium! The good old days , I was playing little league at this time n watched the games with my dad all the time but I don’t remember this. Great vintage video!
I had never seen such a celebration before 🤣🤣🤣
Reggie trolled Denny on that home run😂
The only time I ❤ the Yankees in my 62 years on this earth was from 1976 thru 1980..because of Reggie!.. All the other years I gave to the Mets since 1967... True story!
Oscar Gamble...……..RIP.
@Major Styles Died......of what don't know.
Had a perfect swing for Yankee Stadium
I remember his wife Juanita would sing the National Anthem at Yankee Stadium from time to time.
Yes it took two guys to haul Reggie off that pitcher.
I remember going to the stadium when they were playing Kansas City in 81 and Oscar rolls up in his white Rolls-Royce and the license plate said Gamble.
"here they come...and there they go..." classic understated announcing
I don't know what it was, but the off-center camera in old Yankee Stadium always made home runs look really cool.
True now the film contact up close and you can't see the arc
Post-renovation Yankee Stadium was the only ballpark that used a camera to the left of second base, all others were to the right. The Yankees switched it in the late 80s to match other parks
I grew up listening to Frank Messer in the 70s and 80s. He was a great announcer for the Yankees. He would always do the post game show on the radio for Yankees games.
2:50 Damn...Forgot that Jackson/Winfield played together. That poor catcher running up on Jackson, and then Winfield takes him out...Glad he had his back.
Reggie Jackson played winter ball in Puerto Rico in the mid 70's still got the record for more home runs in the short winter league season....it was a pleasure seeing him hitting those monster shots
I remember watching at 5 yrs old with my big brother Sam. Remember Reggie getting carried away while clapping his hands LOL
How you hit a home run and get to choke the pitcher out😂😂😂😭😭😂😂
Great swing and powerful athlete
True. Think about Reggie & Ruth. If Ruth had the modern day nutrition & training of Reggie & w/o drinking, would've been a beast even in 1980. 🔥
I remember that game!! Miss Reggie’s playing!❤😂
I remember this....Reggie was my baseball idol back in those days....
Jackson waited to get in in a headlock before removing his glasses!
Haaaaaa Reggie rocked that home run ball...then he rocked the pitcher. Lol!!
Yeah!!! 😆 lol. Had to be the pitcher's most humbling moment for a longggggg time?????
Yeah I hope he didn't have any teenage boys at the time. Lol!!.if he did, I bet they begged to stay home from school the next day.
Reggie wasn't all that big. Maybe 215 or so. But he packed a lot of football muscle in that baseball body. My favorite player ever.
Seemed like everyone wanted to beat up John Denny, but he had the reputation for throwing at batters. Remember a story that Don Baylor told about the time when Denny threw at Bobby Grich, that started 2 fights!
Dean Ladue hell, Ted Simmons fought him when they were teammates!
If that was the game at Anaheim, I saw it on t.v. the first guy he hit was "Disco" Danny Ford right in the back. Both teams came out of the dugout just standing around. Someone said the wrong thing to Don Baylor and Baylor cracked him, and the fight was on. It lasted a good two to three minutes.
I remember cutting out the newspaper photo of Reggie n putting it on my hs locker. Still have the photo in my scrap book.
Knocking down Reggie was the worst thing a pitcher could do for your team.
When you knocked Reggie down he got angry and when he was angry he hit the hell out of the ball.
thank you for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been looking forever!!!!
Sweet! Reggie beat Denny's slender little ass, I had no idea this even happened and I am huge Reginald Martinez fan!
Me too ! MAY 18 is our birthday ! You mess with a BULL you are gonna get the horns !!
Funny thing is that John Denny was fluent in marshal arts. Wonder why he didn't defend himself better. Oh that's right typical black guy sneek attack.
@@bretyoung7235 Not much you can do when a 220 lb. former fullback who's pissed has you in a headlock and is riding you to the ground. Besides, it's not like you can roundhouse kick a guy on the ballfield without facing charges.
@Major Styles What are you talking about little girl? That made no sense, how long have you been making retarded comments on the internet and embarrassing yourself pumpkin?
I like how Winfield didn’t even try to hold back Jackson , he was like let’s go get em !
This was filmed inside a bowl of clear jello.
Love the umps just watching
Don’t know who said it, but it’s the truest summary of Reggie Jackson-there isn’t enough mustard in America to cover that hot dog.
Jed Belcher the late Thurman Munson quoted that about Reggie.
michael saveriano no it was Daryl Knowles back when Reggie was in Oakland
Deneen Jeffries I think you’re right-and come to think of it, Knowles may have been with Oakland when he described Jackson thus.
Jed Belcher he was
no it was bill north who said it.
Reggie doffing his cap before he crosses the plate 😄🤣Shades of the Babe.
F'd Him Up
Damn Reg what a move brought his Ass down Like A Lion Bringing down a Wildabeast.
Glorious
This is great!!! Love it
Nice having big Dave at your back too. He laid out the catcher. Always was a Winfield fan. Saw him play in person many times. Took him like 3 strides to run to a base. Lol
And hit LASERS to LF
Big contrast between Reggie and Dave . Winfield was a better all around player but Reggie got all the press because of his style. Give me the man who walked softly and carried the big stick-Winfield.
I was watching this on WPIX. Finally a Bobby Brown reference! I was telling some guys about him when he was called up to play Centerfield.mi love how Winfield, despite the friction between them, was right beside Reggie!
Another example why Reggie Jackson was so great.
I just liked the sound of the bat hitting the ball. The crack of it just sounded so clean and hard ⚾.
Man, if Frank Drebin was there, he would have stopped all of this before it happened
@@dab44lb Hey....it's Enrico Palazzo!!!
@@leogetz3570 Aaaaahahahahaha!!!!
Leo Getz that’s it....I’m done. Lol
LMAO
I really needed this laugh. Thanks.
REGGIE! REGGIE! REGGIE! And props to Winny for that tackle (NFL draftee with the Vikings)!
Watched this whole game live in Brooklyn NY on channel 11. The end of the Reggie Yankee era. Miss those days. Reggies career with the Yankees was winding down. REGGIE!! REGGIE!! REGGIE!!
I grew up in Brooklyn also.. Great memories... I wished our Bombers would've won the WS on Reggie's last year..
@@john-dw4kr
BIG TIME definitely!
Was at a neighbor's wake, at Dahill's funeral parlor. watching it from the undertakers office. LOL
1981 was a year that should not have even counted in mlb
@@jamesbowman8138 Was a joke, the former Montreal Expos, was credited with their only division title.
I was living in the Cleveland area and saw this on the Indians TV broadcast. First time I'm seeing it since it happened. Always remembered Reggie being carried off the field by his teammates.
Both Jackson and Denny were ejected after this. Yankees won this game, Denny taking the loss.
Funny, Denny started against the Yankees eight days later in Cleveland, and pitched a complete game, 3-2 victory. In 1982, Denny started twice against the Angels, where Jackson had moved, and Cleveland lost those games 3-0 and 15-0. In those three games, Jackson went 4-for-9 with a home run, two walks, and one strikeout against Denny. Apparently no major incidents, but Jackson sure did light him up. His revenge was long-lasting.
After that, Denny moved to the National League where he would finish his career, never facing Jackson in a championship game again.
Wonder if they kept in touch and apologized?
And won the National League Cy Young Award in 1983 and helped a veteran Phillies team get to the World Series, and was even the winning pitcher in the only game the Phillies won in that World Series (he also lost Game 4). But that was effectively the beginning of the end of his career. Arm problems caused him to retire just three years later.
Reggie Jackson…..BEST home run trot. EVER!!!!!!
I liked Babe Ruth’s fast legs trot
Robin Ventura wasn't so lucky with Nolan Ryan!
Nolan Ryan wasn't so lucky with Dave Winfield
@Charles McCarron - You have a point there. I do recall from listening to a lot of fans that many players thought twice on charging the mound against Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson.
Nolan applied the cables with precision!!!!
@@jaydeewhipple8993 to be fair, there were plenty of boxers that would’ve probably taken an ass whipping from Dave Winfield.
