9 straight fastballs in a clutch WS at bat against one of the most clutch WS hitters who absolutely feasted on fastballs. That takes some major cajones right there. Awesome. RIP, Bob.
Bob was a year behind me in school and we went to the same elementary, jr high and high school. He grew up across the street from my sister-in-law. I was reminded by a mutual friend and member of his class that today is the 9th anniversary of his passing and just had to come back and watch this clip again. How none of this segment made it into Ken Burns Baseball documentary will always be a mystery to me. It is the most classic epic showdown of a rookie and a legend and the rookie won the challenge.
Brings back such smiles of glory and pleasure. My backyard neighbor, Bob Welch. I caught his pitches in the driveway at his house on Leach St. State Camps for HPHS too.
Greatest moment for me in the WS up till then...Sure Jackson hit a dinger off Welch in game 6, but who remembers that...? No one...Jackson looked foolish in this at bat...
Jackson looked foolish..? i'm a lifelong Dodger fan, but i give credit where credit is due....that was a gutsy at bat by Jackson...yeah, Welch won that battle but Reggie fought off a bunch of wicked fastballs to take it to a full count.. foolish would be 3 straight pitches for a strike out, which wasn't the case
I was there that night! Thank you brother Ken. Classic dodger baseball moment. Glad to see it here on RUclips. Rookie Bob Welch against Mr. October Reggie Jackson.
This is the moment that made me fall in love with baseball. It was when I learned the wait between pitches in an everything-on-the-line situation had this marvelous tension that very few other sports replicate.
Hearing of Mr Welch's passing made me had to go back and watch this epic at bat. I was only 10 at the time but a huge yankee fan and bigger Reggie fan. I remember almost being in tears when Reggie struck out. May you rest in peace Mr Welch.
I remember watching this as a young boy who lived and died with my Dodgers back then. A great moment of my youth, but the Yankees won the war that year, unfortunately. Welch lived down the street from me that year and was always great when my friends and I would ask him to sign stuff for us. RIP to a Dodgers and A's great :)
Even a Yankee fan like me has to admit that this was one of the greatest at-bats in the history of baseball. A stare-down of two gunfighters locked in a pure duel. Welch on the mound, cool and poised...Reggie pressing, feeling the heat, and his reaction after strike 3 said everything. As you said, we know who ultimately won this war and Reggie definitely got his revenge. But on that night, Bob Welch had his moment, and his knockout punch of Mr. October is one of the game's unforgettable memories.
My son and I were in right field totally convinced Reggie would square one up and drive it out. Didn't happen. Welch was magnificent. As good an ending to a sporting event as there has ever been! We salute you Bob Welch!
This was one of the more memorable AB's I've ever seen. I never thought Welch would get him. But Reg would strike the bigger blow 4 games later. 57 seems too young right now.
Reggie Jackson had more charisma in his pink nail than all of baseball combined. As a Red Sox fan, I can remember that it was glorious when he struck out, but it was terrible when he homered. It was like a dagger to the heart.
Wow, just read of the passing of Bob Welch. Had to come here to You Tube to witness this epic battle between the legendary flame thrower and slugger. RIP Bob Welch. You left us many memories, and you will be missed.
I was sitting in my favorite watering hole. Made a friendly "bet" with the guy next to me (a round for the house) that "The Kid" would strike out "Mr October". Man, that beer tasted good! We need more like you Bob. Gone but definitely not forgotten.
As a lifelong Dodger fan, I hated the Yankees from 1951 on. So this was a great moment at 27 yrs old. I will go to my grave we had the better team vs NY in both 77 and 78. When Reggie hit his 3 HR's to clinch the WS Championship in 77, my live-in girlfriend and I went to LAX at 3 am to welcome the Dodgers back home to LA. About 2,000 OF us there. That would be 6 am NY time. The cool knuckleballer Charlie Hough....a disaster in relief all season, but great starter for Texas Rangers later....walked by us.s He was the one who gave up the 3rd HR to Reggie in game 6. But he had been very effective as a reliever throughout the WS. One reason he was cool, he wore the same Elvis Presley T Shirt under his jersey every time at the ballpark. So, I said to him, Charlie, you pitched great in the playoffs! And he smiled...took a drag off his cigarette...much like Fonzie would do!!.... and replied..."All except that last pitch to Reggie." What a great memory in Dodger baseball history for me!
@saint jack 27 wins.....maybe.....Verlander won 26 a few years ago so 27 is possible. NOBODY will ever beat or equal DENNY McCLAINS 31 WINS with the Tigers in 68 though......nobody!!
Reggie was my favorite back then . I was 13 & watched this happen on t.v. I was so disappointed he didn't hit one out. He usually won when things get dramatic like this.
I always thought this showdown between Jackson and Welch was the inspiration for the final at bat of Roy Hobbs in The Natural. Rookie pitcher facing a great hitter at the end of an all or nothing game.
Aahh; maan! Good ols days dor real! I was a huge Reggie Jackson and still a Yankees fan so glad we won the series but that was a nice reminiscent moment :-)
I was a junior in high school when this epic at bat took place in the World Series. I am from San Francisco so my 2 favorite teams are the Giants and any team playing the Dodgers. So I was cheering hard for the Yankees. I don’t know if this video does the intensity of this at bat justice. I was at the edge of my seat, then out of my seat pacing. Rookie fast baller Bob Welch pitching to Mr October Reggie Jackson. Reggie’s used every veteran move to try and shake this rookie during that at bat. When he ended up striking out his reaction was priceless. I hope some of you saw this live and for you youngsters if you do not feel the intensity of this epic at bat baseball may not be for you. Toward the end of the 1970s, which I consider as one of the greatest if not the greatest decade in baseball history
Awesome battle and a great moment in World Series history. I remember watching this at age 12 and as a diehard Yankee fan. I was worried after this game lol. I love Ron Cey's reaction @ 5:17 to a fan running into him lol.
KING KRUSH I was 17 at the time and a Yankee fan and it didn't look good for the Yankees when they lost this game but that team seemed like they had to be down to get going and when they did they couldn't be stopped. Still my favorite year as a sports fan just for how that team did the impossible.
+dsfddsgh It sure seemed that way, and let's not forget that if it hadn't been for Graig Nettles making about 4 run-saving plays in Game 3, the Yanks might have lost that game, at which point the series would've been all but over. This was a team that ran when they got momentum. The game 3 win was followed by an extra-inning win in game 4, and after that the Yanks just blew them out the last 2 games. This team did not get nervous. They were professionals. How a team deals with winning, but even more importantly, losing, tells you a lot about the team. These guys never got too high or too low.
Tony Kubek as a commentator/analyst in baseball in my mind was one of the best ever. Grew up listening to Kurt Gowdy and Tony doing baseball games Saturday afternoons. Joe Garagiola was pretty good too later on.
Burt Hooton started for the Dodgers, but was pulled after giving up a single to Roy White to start the seventh. (Hooton was charged with three earned runs in 6 innings, as White came around to score.) Terry Forster came in, and pitched the 7th and 8th, then allowed a single and a walk in the ninth, with a groundout in between. In came Welch with runners on first and second and one out, to face two extremely dangerous hitters: Thurman Munson and Reggie Jackson. Welch got Munson to fly out to right on an 0-1 pitch, and then what you just watched happened.
If I recall correctly, I believe Reggie said afterwards that he was miffed not so much at the strikeout, but by that it had slipped his mind that with the 3-2 count, the runners would be going, and that distracted him a bit. Anybody?
Pre-corporate baseball was the best. Hard-core playing, fights, no stupid advertisement on the uniforms or the walls of the stadium. Clean look, professional. Seemed more like historical events happening that were entertaining back then versus today’s sports of entertainment only.
This has to be THE best epic battle I've ever seen! Jackson was a monster at the plate, and Welsh stood tall the whole time! Welsh looked scared out of his freakin' mind!😂😁🤣😅
Bob Welch dated my mom for a year and passed away right before she was going to visit him. I had a wonderful year hanging out with him. He was the nicest, smoothest guy I have ever known. How they met is so cute but even better was their first date. He had a wheelbarrow full of food that he made and ran into the park to have a picnic with my mom. She was so surprised. He was obsessed with her and was so nice and loving. Fun little thing about Robert was that he loved dipping his pizza in milk. I know i know but hey, It’s kinda good! Rest in piece Bob. Gone too soon but still in our minds. Miss you.
Reggie Jackson would later say, while interviewed by NBC's Tony Kubek before the next game, that he was angry at himself because he failed to realize the two runners would be moving on the 3-2 pitch (the only such pitch of the at bat). In other words, Reggie might have lost his concentration on the swinging strike three. His emotion was on full display walking back to the dugout and added to this unforgettable World Series moment.
Ahhh YAH..Just in Dodger STADIUM Last SATURDAY when My Wifes Cobs Were in Town..First Time Since "88..Went ro COLLEGE at UCLA..Live in SAN Diego...BEGINNING 8th Grad watched Every Inning of that Series the One Before Aslo..Same Two Teams...Both Teams Were Legendary to Say the LEAST...I Was a Catcher for 8 YEAR'S..Bench Was My HERO..Had His Catchers Mitt..Yeager was My Close 2nd Other Hero..When The #7 Was Available..I FOR Sure Always TOOK IT...Great Time In BASEBALL HISTORY⚾️😁👍
9 straight fastballs in a clutch WS at bat against one of the most clutch WS hitters who absolutely feasted on fastballs. That takes some major cajones right there. Awesome.
RIP, Bob.
Reggie was late on every one of them. After pitch #2, you understand why.
Bob was a year behind me in school and we went to the same elementary, jr high and high school. He grew up across the street from my sister-in-law. I was reminded by a mutual friend and member of his class that today is the 9th anniversary of his passing and just had to come back and watch this clip again.

Brings back such smiles of glory and pleasure. My backyard neighbor, Bob Welch. I caught his pitches in the driveway at his house on Leach St. State Camps for HPHS too.
Teresa Cline reminded me that tomorrow is the anniversary of his passing and I had to go back and watch again too. ❤HPHS
One thing about Reggie is he never cheated on his swings. No one ever looked better striking out. LOL
Ok
Except maybe Mickey Mantle.
Except me in our church softball league
We need to change his nickname to "Mr. Strikeout "
Willie Stargell maximized on his strikeout swings as well.
I may have only been 11 but I remember this like it was yesterday. Great moment in baseball history. Two Legends going at it!!!! RIP Bob Welch
Great 5 minute AB. Great moment in baseball
2 great players
1 great battle
Good ol days for sure
R.I.P. Bob Welch. You were an amazing pitcher and I am glad that I got to meet you, as you will always be a Dodger legend.
I was sad to read this. He had a good career, although not a HOF career.
Probably the greatest duel, I've ever seen in World Series history. We miss you Bob Welch. :(
Dontuween yeah that was sad. My grandma knew him they lived next door when they were kids
Or Gibson and Eckersley.
Greatest moment for me in the WS up till then...Sure Jackson hit a dinger off Welch in game 6, but who remembers that...? No one...Jackson looked foolish in this at bat...
Jackson looked foolish..? i'm a lifelong Dodger fan, but i give credit where credit is due....that was a gutsy at bat by Jackson...yeah, Welch won that battle but Reggie fought off a bunch of wicked fastballs to take it to a full count.. foolish would be 3 straight pitches for a strike out, which wasn't the case
Yeah, But What About Eckersley vs Gibson
Reggie Jackson's strikeouts are more exciting than most people's home runs.
The rookie Bullet Bob Welch vs. Mr. October. Unforgettable duel.
Man could Reggie swing hard! Nobody looked better than him doing that!
I was there that night! Thank you brother Ken. Classic dodger baseball moment. Glad to see it here on RUclips. Rookie Bob Welch against Mr. October Reggie Jackson.
Wow
Great memories watching that game as a 13 year old. I loved Reggie's reaction after he whiffed.
I remember listening to this battle on the radio. It was indeed a memorable moment.
This is the moment that made me fall in love with baseball. It was when I learned the wait between pitches in an everything-on-the-line situation had this marvelous tension that very few other sports replicate.
I was sitting a few rows up on the 3rd base side at this game. One of the most wonderful moments as a Dodger fan. RIP Mr. Welch and thank you
Hearing of Mr Welch's passing made me had to go back and watch this epic at bat. I was only 10 at the time but a huge yankee fan and bigger Reggie fan. I remember almost being in tears when Reggie struck out. May you rest in peace Mr Welch.
Rip Bob Welch you criminally underrated pitcher.
Great game! What a great pitcher Bob Welch was. Miss him.
I remember watching this as a young boy who lived and died with my Dodgers back then. A great moment of my youth, but the Yankees won the war that year, unfortunately. Welch lived down the street from me that year and was always great when my friends and I would ask him to sign stuff for us. RIP to a Dodgers and A's great :)
The Dodgers didn't have a Reggie Jackson on their team in 77-78. They did in 1988, though. His name was Kirk Gibson.
That's a nice memory. Did you ever ask him about that at-bat?
jscottrockford Yup. I too remember this.
Even a Yankee fan like me has to admit that this was one of the greatest at-bats in the history of baseball. A stare-down of two gunfighters locked in a pure duel. Welch on the mound, cool and poised...Reggie pressing, feeling the heat, and his reaction after strike 3 said everything. As you said, we know who ultimately won this war and Reggie definitely got his revenge. But on that night, Bob Welch had his moment, and his knockout punch of Mr. October is one of the game's unforgettable memories.
@@attaboi8110 Reggie Smith was no slouch for the Dodgers.
Man, Tony Kubek and Joe Garagiola. Those were the great TV days of MLB.
Man, this battle NEVER gets old (haha) Young Bobby just slingin it - God bless him, and Yeager's reaction was beautiful :-)
RIP Bob, you left us too early.
Simply one of the greatest at bats in World Series history. This moment was great for baseball.
RIP Mr Welch! Thank you for the thrills and chills!
9 pitches -- 9 fastballs. My favorite moment from the Series.
That first pitch fastball right down the pipe and Reggie missed it. What guts!
RIP Bobby Welch!
My son and I were in right field totally convinced Reggie would square one up and drive it out. Didn't happen. Welch was magnificent. As good an ending to a sporting event as there has ever been! We salute you Bob Welch!
Damn, Makes me tear. Great moments in our national past time.
This was one of the more memorable AB's I've ever seen. I never thought Welch would get him. But Reg would strike the bigger blow 4 games later. 57 seems too young right now.
Reggie Jackson had more charisma in his pink nail than all of baseball combined. As a Red Sox fan, I can remember that it was glorious when he struck out, but it was terrible when he homered. It was like a dagger to the heart.
This K was shown on This Week In Baseball for years afterward. Great moment.
one of the most underrated pitchers in baseball history
Wow, just read of the passing of Bob Welch. Had to come here to You Tube to witness this epic battle between the legendary flame thrower and slugger. RIP Bob Welch. You left us many memories, and you will be missed.
I was only 9 when you battle Reggie but the memory of this clip still pumps me up! RIP Mr. Bob Welch
Reggie was PISSED!! GREAT BATTLE!!
Way only have been 6 mins at battle but one of the best battles EVER
Thanks for this and many other memories Bob. He lived nearby too....RIP
The rookie didn't know he was supposed to be scared.
...until game six when Reggie hit one to the next county off of him: ruclips.net/video/vrEQNEI-spk/видео.html
Who won the salami hiding contest that night
@@Mistachill Reggie's bat always had the last word.
This was a great moment in baseball history....For me at least
I remember watching Bob Welch,pitching for then the Great Dodgers Team may he R.I.P. & will be missed by Baseball & his Fans.
R.I.P. Bob Welch (from a Yankee fan).
I was sitting in my favorite watering hole. Made a friendly "bet" with the guy next to me (a round for the house) that "The Kid" would strike out "Mr October". Man, that beer tasted good! We need more like you Bob. Gone but definitely not forgotten.

My birthday present. I was one of those fans shown after the strike out in the upper deck down the left field line. A happy day.
Bob Welch, last man to win 27 games in a season.
@saint jack
27 wins.....maybe.....Verlander won 26 a few years ago so 27 is possible.
NOBODY will ever beat or equal DENNY McCLAINS 31 WINS with the Tigers in 68 though......nobody!!
@@motorcitymanman7711 Verlander only won 24. That's been done quite a few times over the past 4 decades. 25 is more rarified air.
@@motorcitymanman7711 Yea, and how many games did McClain lose? That part I thought was funny.
In 1990
Anybody know the velocity Welch had?
Reggie was my favorite back then . I was 13 & watched this happen on t.v. I was so disappointed he didn't hit one out. He usually won when things get dramatic like this.
I always thought this showdown between Jackson and Welch was the inspiration for the final at bat of Roy Hobbs in The Natural. Rookie pitcher facing a great hitter at the end of an all or nothing game.
Hard to believe that Paul Blair and now Bob Welch are both gone.
Check out Tommy LaSorda keeping the kid in the green sweater from wiping out Cey. Classic!
I was hooked after the first pitch, nothing but heat.
What a battle. Epic moment for Dodger fans.
I was only 9 years old when that happened, but I was very upset because Reggie Jackson was my idol and I was a Yankee Fan then
Robert Lynn Welch (November 3, 1956 - June 9, 2014) R.I.P ,27 game winner 1990 (no one has won 27 games since)
Joe G., Seaver, Tony Kubek on the call makes this even epic face off better. Joe Buck would have ruined this call.
Eh, who cares about announcing...I mute the tv anyway. Let the action speak for itself.
Joe buck is a good baseball announcer
Aahh; maan! Good ols days dor real! I was a huge Reggie Jackson and still a Yankees fan so glad we won the series but that was a nice reminiscent moment :-)
I am a huge Dodgers fan but I loved Reggie's game, heck, his 3 homeruns in 77 were epic!

I had almost forgotten about this WS...78 was my graduation year and I do remember these 2 awesome teams!
my JR High Grad 15 years old , i think i was the only kid in school who followed it
It’s funny that back then, they didn’t always display the inning, score, count
In addition to Bob Welch.....
RIP Paul Blair, the greatest defensive center fielder of his era {`66-`76}.
Blair was incredible...just incredible
2 of my favorite players of all time!GO A's !!
classic epic i so rememeber watching this as i was 7rs old. loved my dodgers
I have always wondered if that final pitch was off the plate inside. Anyway, Reggie was tied up, couldn’t extend those arms. Great pitch.
RIP Bob ... forever young.
Tony Kubek as a commentator/analyst in baseball in my mind was one of the best ever. Grew up listening to Kurt Gowdy and Tony doing baseball games Saturday afternoons. Joe Garagiola was pretty good too later on.
The homer Reggie hit off him in Game 6 is still orbiting the earth.....
Burt Hooton started for the Dodgers, but was pulled after giving up a single to Roy White to start the seventh. (Hooton was charged with three earned runs in 6 innings, as White came around to score.)

Damn! What a. Duel!!!!
I was there. Someone poured beer over my 10 year old head. Greatest birthday ever!
Welch was brave to go inside on Reggie
How menacing Reggie was when he was at bat. Welch stayed cool and challenged him, ballsy for a rookie.
Back in the day, when fans could storm the field and nothing would happen.
+TEM DOL
Yeah, Yankee Stadium was very much famous for that!
Reggie went to the Hall of Fame!!!
If I recall correctly, I believe Reggie said afterwards that he was miffed not so much at the strikeout, but by that it had slipped his mind that with the 3-2 count, the runners would be going, and that distracted him a bit.
Anybody?
Yes, he mentioned that in his book with Mike Lupica.
one of my favs growing up.
This is epic!!!!
Rest in Peace, Bob Welch.
Welch's reaction, lol. He looks like he's in shock. The rest of team is so pumped and he's barely moving
Yankees lost the battle, but won the war!
Pre-corporate baseball was the best. Hard-core playing, fights, no stupid advertisement on the uniforms or the walls of the stadium. Clean look, professional. Seemed more like historical events happening that were entertaining back then versus today’s sports of entertainment only.
Amazing! Remember well! Was thinking about it for some reason and found it here. Love it!
I remember the take on "Casey at The Bat", printed in my local newspaper the next day, which ended ... "Mighty Reggie has struck out."
Joe Garagiola: 4 times in 5 minutes---"Listen to the crowd."
Epic memories
This has to be THE best epic battle I've ever seen! Jackson was a monster at the plate, and Welsh stood tall the whole time!
Welsh looked scared out of his freakin' mind!😂😁🤣😅
thank you for posting this
You knew it was big game when Joe and Tony were on.....we don't have that type of announcing anymore
Only wished this was the final AB in a possible Game 7 of that WS:::sigh:::oh well, STILL sends chills down my spine watching this. RIP Mr. Welch!
:-)
Bob Welch, the last pitcher to win over 25 games. Did it in 1990 with the A's
A Giant of a man on the mound. Bob had control.
Reggie always gave the fans their money's worth.
Bob Welch dated my mom for a year and passed away right before she was going to visit him. I had a wonderful year hanging out with him. He was the nicest, smoothest guy I have ever known. How they met is so cute but even better was their first date. He had a wheelbarrow full of food that he made and ran into the park to have a picnic with my mom. She was so surprised. He was obsessed with her and was so nice and loving. Fun little thing about Robert was that he loved dipping his pizza in milk. I know i know but hey, It’s kinda good! Rest in piece Bob. Gone too soon but still in our minds. Miss you.
Who’s here after Coney mentioned this on the broadcast
Let's goooo!!
Reggie Jackson would later say, while interviewed by NBC's Tony Kubek before the next game, that he was angry at himself because he failed to realize the two runners would be moving on the 3-2 pitch (the only such pitch of the at bat). In other words, Reggie might have lost his concentration on the swinging strike three. His emotion was on full display walking back to the dugout and added to this unforgettable World Series moment.
rest in peace Bob Welch... Michigan loved you first
I am from Canada and I loved you and the A's better than the Blue Jays,you were a great one Bob,thanks for the memories (godspeed)
Ahhh YAH..Just in Dodger STADIUM Last SATURDAY when My Wifes Cobs Were in Town..First Time Since "88..Went ro COLLEGE at UCLA..Live in SAN Diego...BEGINNING 8th Grad watched Every Inning of that Series the One Before Aslo..Same Two Teams...Both Teams Were Legendary to Say the LEAST...I Was a Catcher for 8 YEAR'S..Bench Was My HERO..Had His Catchers Mitt..Yeager was My Close 2nd Other Hero..When The #7 Was Available..I FOR Sure Always TOOK IT...Great Time In BASEBALL HISTORY⚾️😁👍
I love that fans used to be on the field to congratulate the players quicker than the bench players could get out there
