This is weird. This was a suggested video in my feed for some reason today, and the story behind this is really freaking me out! I watched this game live with my big brother Ronnie, who passed away 2 years ago from pancreatic cancer. I'm a huge Jays fan and Ronnie was 20 times more of a fan than I was. For some reasons , we never really got along, except when it came to watching the Blue Jays. He came over to watch that game at my place that day, which was the first time he had ever done that. So we're watching the game and the 7th inning comes around and we go from being in a major sour mood after the Russel Martin dead ball play, to actually hugging each other for the first time when Bautista hit that 3 run homer. Just over the moon ecstatic! I am, at this moment now, living in the apartment he used to live in. In his old room, watching this video! And, *Today, October 23rd 2022, would have been his 66th BIRTHDAY!!* Happy Birthday! And Rest in Peace bro. 🙏
Beautiful story, one of those moments you hold onto forever. Sports are one hell of a thing, able to make those crazy emotional moments. Peace and love to you my man!
Thank you for sharing your story. That you recognize this to be an amazing coincidence, and took the time to share it with us means that our loved ones are still here with us, even if it is only in our memories.
Great to see him come back and retire with the Jays. I was sitting in the outfield about 50 yards from the ball. The place erupted like an earthquake, I swear you could feel the stadium shaking. We were all jumping up and down hugging total strangers. You would have thought we just won the World Series. I told my wife afterwards (she’s not a big sports fan) that she will likely never experience a better live moment in sports in our lifetime. What a crazy series of events. ❤
I agree. I was sitting in the 200s, and I'll never forget this game. The build up of frustration to exictment in that inning was unreal. There were two guys almost fighting when the beers were being tossed and after Jose hit the homerun they climbed over like 10 rows to hug each other. Then after the game walking back to the subway, all you hear are the "Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose" chants. Great day!
I wish I was there. My husband is not a sports fan. If we're qualifying or in the world series then. Back then we and the raptors were playing. We had a dual program where there was raptors talking. He muted the Jays while they were in a commercial and vice versa. I'm glad that we won over 60 games and the Rays we broke the series. I never thought the Yankee would be number 5 and Orioles #1. But go Jays go. I could only imagine how much the tickets cost
i actually saw a half inning like that...bartman interference of a fly ball in 2003...and the cubs errors and breakdowns...allowing the marlins to sneak through...
I really miss Bautista. He was always that guy when things were most dire and emotional, he would come up huge. I wish Jays had a player like that currently, but they don't. That chip and passion he played with his sorely missed. I see some of that in Soto and Tatis Jr though, too bad Jays didn't sign Soto when they could have.
@@DEEPGNOSTICanother pitch clock hater lol. This moment was made because it was game 5 and we went down 1 run because of a fluke throw off the bat. Has nothing to do with a pitch clock.
that's why i don't watch as much of the main season games except for my home team (brewers), but when playoffs come that's always where its at. The playoffs always have this level of intensity. Main season games can have this but its not often, at least for my team. I've been to some really close games before, especially when yelich was on his come up, and the crowd went crazy when he came up to bat with people on. Those are top tier stadium moments for sure.
@@sen6728 Bautista HR was insane, but it is below Joe Carter’s World Series winning walkoff HR for the Jays, (arguably) Kawaii’s shot vs the 76ers, Henderson’s goal in the Summit Series vs USSR and Crosby’s golden goal
i went to a world cup soccer game ... when a goal got scored the sound was like in this video.... you're screaming as loud as you can but can't hear your voice!
Giants fan here and I remember this moment vividly. I was at a bar on Valencia in downtown SF with a friend. There were quite a few Blue Jays fans in the bar watching the game but were pretty quiet after the previous inning. Then this happened and they got back into it. Then the José Bautista bat flip happened and they went bonkers.
And that epic bat flip - wow! (I grew up an Expos fan) True, in the first meeting between both teams at Texas the following season, Odor unleashed on Bautista in an infamous benches-clearing brawl, since the Rangers' 2B was still sour about this game, and I imagine, about the bat flip... But that's part of the crescendo of emotions unleashed with the stadium-shaking HR...
I miss this blue jays team, these guys were exciting to watch even though they didn’t make it all the way through the playoffs, plus I remember watching this game, it was wild.
Andrus had the toughest inning I’ve ever seen. I had forgotten about this. Biggest 1 inning team collapse ever. Odor huge mistake. Bautista was a BOSS. Thanks for posting
I have much more empathy for the Rangers and their fans now after what happened to us this year. 3 consecutive errors to lose the game. Brutal. Just like blowing an 8-1 lead. Brutal. Sports can break your heart. Don't congratulate yourself too much for someone else's mistakes. Don't berate yourself too much for yours.
Nah all that empathy went out the window 2 minutes after the homer when the Rangers got on their unwritten rules right way to play the game bullshit. The Jays got jacked by a loophole in the rules in a deciding playoff game and then Bautista erased it with a 450-foot homer, they have every right to celebrate.

I was gonna argue with ya before I had gotten to that part but after hearing that I would have to agree 😂 That sounds like 2 stadiums going off. There’s another one that I think is the recorded decibel record but I can’t think which game it was
I think those kids need an aging elite veteran slugger amidst them. Vladdy and Bo thinkin they own the team just isn't working. They need someone they respect who keeps them keeping their socks pulled up kinda thing. It was a bit of an embarrassing season. Vladdy thumpin his chest in game 1 of a 3 game regular season game, after hitting a walk off single. I knew the second I saw it that would come back on him. And Bichette tryin to play hero, not respecting the speed and skill of Springer to make that catch and colliding. Then springer lying there like he got shot and replay showed he took a grazzed forearm off his head. Whopdeedo. GTFU Springer. Even Nick Kyprious was making fun of that a couple days later on hockey central. This current team is soft and if they even had 50% of the grit that 2015 team had, they could make a real run.
This is, and will likely always always be, baseballs defining inning in my life. Watching this live was, well, indescribable. Watching the flip replay for weeks afterward was a source of tearfully laughter. The clip itself doesn't do the inning justice. What a ride this was.
I. Was. Actually... There! I still can't believe I got last minute tickets to this game. Although they were the DEFINITION of nosebleeds (seats with our backs to the cement walls WAY up along the 3rd baseline) and just watching that ball SOAR across our viewpoint was nothing shy of MAGICAL! I will keep this ticket until the day I die and share it with my future kids, grandkids & any baseball fans I know. Too bad I had no time to pull my phone out because we were too busy going absolutely BONKERS over the most WILD game in Blue Jays History. What. A. Moment. #History
yooooo no way I was sitting in the same area as you watching that game with my aunt, incredible game to witness even all the way from the nosebleeds the seats didn't matter, just being able to say "I was there" is special enough
One of the most memorable moments of happiness I ever experience. The whole game was tense. I was tweeting from Victoria to a friend in Toronto between plays and working off the stress by cleaning anything I could find! When Bautista's bat made that sound though....everything stopped. An unmistakable sound. I will never forget that moment or the Jays team roster for that year. A moment in history had been made for me forever.
Goosebumps watching this again. Still get the exact same feeling as that day. Unbelievable stuff!!! I miss that team! I miss Bautista!! So much excitement. 2015 what a turning point!!! 🪐☄️ ⚾️
I got to interview home plate umpire Dale Scott about this inning. He said Gibby wanted to "protest everything" and that in all his years umpiring, this the most exciting - and strangest - 45 minutes he'd ever had
A Royals fan, but watching Batista in a high voltage, feisty mood was as entertaining as watching a Jack Russell terrier create mayhem chasing squirrels and tearing up Kleenex boxes at home. An iconic inning indeed. Molson beer cheers to the Jays for their passionate fan base-- their electricity can even be felt way beyond the Canadian border.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 most current Jays fans only hopped on the bandwagon in 2015 when the team finally had some relevance again, I doubt most of them have any clue who Joe Carter is.
That day was the most fantastic day ever .I will never forget that day .Jose was soooooo great with that bat flip I thought I fall out off my seat .Jose you made history. You will always be number one with your fans and Toronto ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for posting this. As someone from the UK who's learning about the game, I find it fascinating to watch. There's so much jargon but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. At least I understand the scoring for the player at bat. And I got to see a 'dinger'! Excellent. 👍😎
I have seen this video dozens of times and get shivers every time I see it. Jose was a beast and I have deep respect for that man !! One of the greatest innings ever played in baseball.
One of the most exciting, sure, but one of the greatest? Not too sure about that haha, it's basically a Rangers blooper reel and one (admittedly clutch) home run. Super exciting given the playoffs atmosphere, but as someone who isn't a fan of either team, I'm surprised to see the amount of lavish praise this inning receives in comments like this.
This was why baseball is my favorite sport. Reminds me of that crazy Game 6 of the 2011 WS. And Bautista's dinger(and batflip!) was positively epic. For me, there's nothing else in sports like a dramatic home run
Best game of all time, the very 1st time watching baseball (I was 7), and if I can remember, my brother, dad, and myself (i think also my dads' parents and his brother also), loved 2015 and 2016, I wonder how you still remember what had happened during these years.
June 20th 2023 I just watched Bautista's back flipping home run and must say He was the best! He was my favourite with the Toronto blue jays. I was so disappointed when he was traded!! 😢
I remember how my blood was boiling after the top of the 7th. Every moment of this inning is etched in my mind. And the exhilaration of that home run. "What a game!" is right. It's the moments in sports we live for. Happens rarely, which makes them so much sweeter. Grats on Nick Taylor having his moment yesterday. Not a shabby 'bat flip' by him too. :)
I saw this game on TV. That 7th inning was the greatest inning of baseball i have ever seen. With today's time clock rules and disengagement rules, an inning such as this may never happen again!
Amazing to see play after play where Rangers took their eyes off the ball and missed catch after catch. They are all excellent athletes, professionals in the playoffs, and it looked to me like the pressure just got to them
This moment was so memorable everything was in the right place...the homerun, the batflip, the crowds reaction, even the goal horn that was going off in the stadium. Such a crazy atmosphere to be in
the top and bottom of this inning was unreal, I was driving in the car listening to the whole thing, I don't usually listen to baseball games on the radio, this one had me spellbound, one for the ages
I was at this game and I can say it was the greatest thing I ever witnessed and the loudest crowd I had ever heard. I was in shock as the inning unfolded culminating in the Bautista dinger. I must say I was unaware of the mounting drama caused by the bat flip until I got home........I never even noticed it live.
I distinctly remember my Cubbies come outta nowhere in 2015 against the Mets and got swept. I was heartbroken. This game I believe may have been after they got swept? Anyway, back then this put a smile on my face when I was full blown depression mode. WOW!
At the time, several of the camera bays were enclosed platforms attached to sides of the stands. Sure, the stands are made of concrete, but 45,000 fans wildin out literally makes those platforms shake.
UNBELIEVABLE... never will We see anything like that day ... miss all the original players wow ... next yr Blue Jays ... then there is the WOPPING ... 28 run game by Blue Jays... yessss
Hard to play against that electric crowd! Tough day for the Rangers, but they've made up for it since then with their amazing World Series win. Congrats from a Toronto fan! 👏 👏
@@gtcazusa Yeah, I am sure it was heartbreaking for their fans (game was in early November because the season was postponed for a few days because of 9/11)
@@joelsterling1445 Yeah and I'm sure that didn't at all affect the Arizona fans either huh. Smart guy. Are you suggesting they lost because of 911 or what? If not why bring it up?
@@gtcazusa You know what, I am done. I will continue to watch videos on RUclips but I will no longer post at all as if that''s how everybody acts, then screw them
@@joelsterling1445 Sorry if was a jerk. I just don't know why you brought it up. Has not much to do with 'best inning ever' and maybe I was assuming the wrong intentions.
Bama/Braves fan here. Loved playing this game in the 80’s and 90’s. One thing about baseball is it’s mental!!! If you get in your head or allow someone else to get into your head, you’re in trouble. When you make a mistake, you’ve got to forget it and play forward. Andrus didn’t let go of the first error. It soon became a second and third error. That why many times following an error you’ll see a teammate call timeout and go encourage his teammate. Lots of stress and pressure when you goof up in big games.
What an inning, hard to believe it's been 7 years already. I remember watching this game live and was so happy when he hit it out of the park, that entire 7th inning was just unrealistic. We unfortunately lost to the royals the next series in the ALCS. 2015 & 2016 were amazing years for the blue jays.
This has the same feeling as John Tavares getting that OT Goal in Game 6 or Kawahi Leonard's famous "Bounce". Toronto sports dreams are made on single highlights like these that last a lifetime
Seen this a million times and still till this day does the exact same thing- Goose Bumps. Crazy thing is I sometimes use it to test myself and I think- “today it wont work or because Im thinking about it I wont get goosebumps”. Im wrong every time- Real, natural, hair standing up on my neck, arms, and legs. Can’t think of anything else that does that for me. Insane inning, Insane game, Insane series. Great team. Can’t help but think what a Whit Merrifield at 2B would have done for them instead of a guy like Goins.
Current Jays -- take notes of this 2015 team. The chip, the passion, the grit. These guys hated to lose more than they loved to win. They didn't celebrate measly HRs or thump their chest saying "my house" after winning game 1 of a regular season 3 game series. These guys played with so much heart and passion and fans adored them for it.
I was around in 2015 but I agree with how silly it is for them to do it including putting the home run jacket on everytime they hit a home run and the player saying my house after 1 of the home runs in 2022 was Valdimidar Gurrereo Junior who wears #27, yeah if I was in his shoes I would not have done that
@@ronmexico7256 Edwin? HAHAHA He never celebrated shit on field (outside his parrot signature trot) till his walk off vs the O's. That trio hit around 500 HRs for the jays, name me even 10 regular season HR where they celebrated an empty, meaningless (measly) HR? (you know, the type of HR Carerra would usually only hit when they're already up by 6 or down by 9. LOL
@@Flexb123 Man literally said Edwin didn’t celebrate home runs except for his signature home celebration he did almost every time…. I don’t care about your feels my dude a celebration is a celebration. I’m not sure why you’re so triggered this isn’t a big deal lol
Tough to beat Cubs/Indians 8th inning was it? Or 7th and beyond to extra innings in a Game 7 of the World Series but damn, tough to argue your point man. This was incredible
If you’re a jays fan, clearly you were not alive for Joe Carter’s walk off homer against Philly. That was national history in Canada and a seriously underrated moment in playoff history. I watched it live when I was in lil league and it was one of those life defining moments for me. In my mind it should be talked about every time anyone utters the word baseball. But it’s seemingly never talked of.
Best ever moment in MLB history. The energy. The atmosphere. The fans. The players. Most epic moment in sports EVER! I was there. I felt the Skydome shake. I still shake.
When I I feel like crap which is often, I watch this inning. Love to see happy, cheering people. I have hugged total strangers as a bystander in similar situations. Sports and Music can be the Great Uniter.
As a die hard Rangers fan, with the World Series curse having been exorcised, I can finally let this moment go along with all the heartache it gave me. I rewatched this now and it didn’t even sting one bit. It’s amazing what a championship can do, best of luck to y’all getting yours.
I remember watching this and right when Joey Bats tossed the bat I tossed my hat in the air. Can't wait to see him live getting his much deserving love this month.
My beloved Jays. Saw their first game ever in a snowstorm against Chicago. Froze my ass off. The only Toronto team to win championships in my era. Back to back.
Also a game/ inning in which a significantly larger part of Toronto was screaming at the same time. You knew who was watching the same thing in the neighborhood. Everyone went totally nuts :-). That will be the case again next season. As with our 28 R game :-) Now and 4ever 💙🇨🇦
I’m a Twins fan with no dog in this fight, and to this day this is the greatest ending to a game I’ve ever seen. I can recall EVERY play in this inning and went back to watch it multiple times, it was that magical😩
My dad brought me to this game when I was 13…. Most insane thing I’ve ever been at. All police, security and anyone in Toronto had to come into the field to try and stop fans from throwing cans / garbage everywhere, they put up messages on the jumbotron for fines of $1000 if you were caught throwing items onto the field etc. best game of my life.
Showing respect for Kenny Albert's call on that Joey Bats BOMB that caused an earthquake in Toronto it seemed. Took lessons from one Vin Scully...quite the master to learn from though his dad Marv Albert is a hall of fame broadcaster in his own right (mostly for the NY Knicks and NY Rangers, but also has done NBA and NFL and college hoops).
I don't know if I'm the only person on the planet to notice this--but listen to the initial roar of the crowd when Bautista hits it out. There's only one other time I have ever heard that phenomenon....it's Gibson's 1988 homer. It's a roar that is so guttural and deep....it's AMAZING. Listen to it. AMAZING moment in baseball!
I listened as you suggested. It was different. It was solid sound, no modulation, like a noise machine or a swarm of locusts . Also, the duration of that sound was remarkable.
This is weird. This was a suggested video in my feed for some reason today, and the story behind this is really freaking me out!
I watched this game live with my big brother Ronnie, who passed away 2 years ago from pancreatic cancer. I'm a huge Jays fan and Ronnie was 20 times more of a fan than I was. For some reasons , we never really got along, except when it came to watching the Blue Jays.
He came over to watch that game at my place that day, which was the first time he had ever done that.
So we're watching the game and the 7th inning comes around and we go from being in a major sour mood after the Russel Martin dead ball play, to actually hugging each other for the first time when Bautista hit that 3 run homer. Just over the moon ecstatic!
I am, at this moment now, living in the apartment he used to live in. In his old room, watching this video!
And,
*Today, October 23rd 2022, would have been his 66th BIRTHDAY!!*
Happy Birthday! And Rest in Peace bro. 🙏

Even Nick Kyprious was making fun of that a couple days later on hockey central. This current team is soft and if they even had 50% of the grit that 2015 team had, they could make a real run.
@@Flexb123 That or the New York Islanders.
@@Flexb123 mike trout could use some championship caliber teammates lol, we can only dream
Been shit since 2015
This is, and will likely always always be, baseballs defining inning in my life. Watching this live was, well, indescribable.
Watching the flip replay for weeks afterward was a source of tearfully laughter. The clip itself doesn't do the inning justice. What a ride this was.
me too. weird eh !
that's just sad, man
Imagine shitting on someones cherished memory for the sport they love. Sad existence, actually embarrassing @h445
I. Was. Actually... There! I still can't believe I got last minute tickets to this game. Although they were the DEFINITION of nosebleeds (seats with our backs to the cement walls WAY up along the 3rd baseline) and just watching that ball SOAR across our viewpoint was nothing shy of MAGICAL! I will keep this ticket until the day I die and share it with my future kids, grandkids & any baseball fans I know. Too bad I had no time to pull my phone out because we were too busy going absolutely BONKERS over the most WILD game in Blue Jays History. What. A. Moment. #History
Better to be in the moment because that’s once in a lifetime
@@davidnoel7520 No doubt, I wouldn't change a thing. Memories that'll last forever in my head
yooooo no way I was sitting in the same area as you watching that game with my aunt, incredible game to witness even all the way from the nosebleeds the seats didn't matter, just being able to say "I was there" is special enough
Glad you didn't have time to pull out your phone. Better to live in the moment.
One of the most memorable moments of happiness I ever experience. The whole game was tense. I was tweeting from Victoria to a friend in Toronto between plays and working off the stress by cleaning anything I could find! When Bautista's bat made that sound though....everything stopped. An unmistakable sound. I will never forget that moment or the Jays team roster for that year. A moment in history had been made for me forever.
I left school to watch this game 😂 best game I’ve ever watched. Playoff baseball at its finest
Jesus loves you!!
Who are you bro. Stop commenting "Jesus loves you" on things that dont have ANYthingg to do with religion.@@Adampeachey2024

I was there for this....and game 6 WS in 93.......both epic moments in baseball and Jays history!!!

Must have been deafening
How awesome to be at both the Joey Walk-Off and the Joey BatFlip games. Hope you always cherish those memories.
what year was this one?
@@Crisperdad completely deafening! sound went through your bones
Goosebumps watching this again. Still get the exact same feeling as that day.
Unbelievable stuff!!!
I miss that team! I miss Bautista!!
So much excitement.
2015 what a turning point!!!
🪐☄️ ⚾️
iikkkkk
Same here
I got to interview home plate umpire Dale Scott about this inning. He said Gibby wanted to "protest everything" and that in all his years umpiring, this the most exciting - and strangest - 45 minutes he'd ever had
A Royals fan, but watching Batista in a high voltage, feisty mood was as entertaining as watching a Jack Russell terrier create mayhem chasing squirrels and tearing up Kleenex boxes at home. An iconic inning indeed. Molson beer cheers to the Jays for their passionate fan base-- their electricity can even be felt way beyond the Canadian border.
What a crazy inning and that's one of the loudest crowd reactions ever.
almost as loud as Carter's homerun :)
Here after Bautista made the level of excellence and yes this is truly historic
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Probably the most memorable Blue Jays moment that I witnessed live. That whole 7th inning was crazy.
Were you at the game? I remember watching it on TV, it's up there with my favourite moments in all sports!
Hello? Joe Carter? Walk off home run to win WORLD SERIES?!?
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 most current Jays fans only hopped on the bandwagon in 2015 when the team finally had some relevance again, I doubt most of them have any clue who Joe Carter is.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 “Probably the most memorable Blue Jays moment that I WITNESSED LIVE”
@@waschukd I guess 30 years ago is a long time ago. I witnessed the back-to-back World Series live.
That day was the most fantastic day ever .I will never forget that day .Jose was soooooo great with that bat flip I thought I fall out off my seat .Jose you made history. You will always be number one with your fans and Toronto ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, they won the world series?
The crowd atmosphere in Toronto is amazing! No matter what sport it is, the city is so fanatical!
Its a shitty city for sure
This gives me chills to this day. One of the best moments in Jays history
One of the worst moments in rangers history as well.
I'd say joe Carter h.r to win the world series is better
needed this today. I'm still at a loss for words boys. Part of our journey I guess. Here come the trolls 😪
Yeah same here but hopefully they upgrade the bullpen and we still have a young team
Thank you for posting this.
As someone from the UK who's learning about the game, I find it fascinating to watch.
There's so much jargon but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.
At least I understand the scoring for the player at bat.
And I got to see a 'dinger'!
Excellent.
👍😎
One of the greatest bat flips in history. Not even a Jays fan or a Rangers hater, just sublime.
The most disrespectful bat flip I've ever seen, very classless!
Lol clueless @@michaelguyea8970
@@sherryl7693 Yes that same attitude got him a shot in the mouth lol.
@@michaelguyea8970 Getting back at the Ranger's players, especially that puke Lindor.
I have seen this video dozens of times and get shivers every time I see it. Jose was a beast and I have deep respect for that man !! One of the greatest innings ever played in baseball.
One of the most exciting, sure, but one of the greatest? Not too sure about that haha, it's basically a Rangers blooper reel and one (admittedly clutch) home run. Super exciting given the playoffs atmosphere, but as someone who isn't a fan of either team, I'm surprised to see the amount of lavish praise this inning receives in comments like this.
This was why baseball is my favorite sport. Reminds me of that crazy Game 6 of the 2011 WS. And Bautista's dinger(and batflip!) was positively epic. For me, there's nothing else in sports like a dramatic home run
I like baseball over football any day.
@@Doo_Doo_Patrolfax
Amazing moment. Will never forget it! Can’t believe it’s coming on 10 years soon
RIP ‘22 Jays. You had so much potential.
I feel so bad for Beltre. He fielded that bunt perfectly, threw a perfect throw to third base, and the shortstop just dropped it.
I know right. Beltre is an all-time great fielder. He must've been absolutely livid.
Dude, the look on Hamels’ face. He had pitched an absolute gem and it was absolutely wasted.
Elvis Andrus may as well have been replaced by the corpse of Elvis Presley
Andrus made THREE errors in that inning!
Best game of all time, the very 1st time watching baseball (I was 7), and if I can remember, my brother, dad, and myself (i think also my dads' parents and his brother also), loved 2015 and 2016, I wonder how you still remember what had happened during these years.
I remember listen to this series on the radio in my early 20's man what a year
THE BEST BAT FLIP IN MLB HISTORY !! And I’m a Yankees fan !! 😂 We’re happy cause We just got Judge #99 !!
Congrats on Judge!
@@catbriggs8362 Thank you !! 😊
June 20th 2023
I just watched Bautista's back flipping home run and must say He was the best!
He was my favourite with the Toronto blue jays.
I was so disappointed when he was traded!!
😢
I remember how my blood was boiling after the top of the 7th. Every moment of this inning is etched in my mind. And the exhilaration of that home run. "What a game!" is right. It's the moments in sports we live for. Happens rarely, which makes them so much sweeter. Grats on Nick Taylor having his moment yesterday. Not a shabby 'bat flip' by him too. :)
What happened in the top of the inning?
I saw this game on TV. That 7th inning was the greatest inning of baseball i have ever seen. With today's time clock rules and disengagement rules, an inning such as this may never happen again!
Amazing to see play after play where Rangers took their eyes off the ball and missed catch after catch.
They are all excellent athletes, professionals in the playoffs, and it looked to me like the pressure just got to them
I was at that game. The stadium felt like it was a magnitude 5000 earthquake, absolutely insane.
Magnitude 5000? This planet no longer exists!
JB thanks for the memories never been a home run like that since Joe Carter jacked one.
This moment was so memorable everything was in the right place...the homerun, the batflip, the crowds reaction, even the goal horn that was going off in the stadium. Such a crazy atmosphere to be in
Only in a hockey country do you get a hockey goal horn for a home run. 🏒
the top and bottom of this inning was unreal, I was driving in the car listening to the whole thing, I don't usually listen to baseball games on the radio, this one had me spellbound, one for the ages
Jose signs a 1 day Jays contract, his name goes on the Level of Excellence forever, & he retires a BlueJay Saturday!
"You can only flirt with fire for so long, and it's gonna burn ya." My favourite quote from a sports announcer.
True that 😶
I never watch baseball. Did just now. And what a heck of an inning!! Wow!!!!
I was at this game and I can say it was the greatest thing I ever witnessed and the loudest crowd I had ever heard. I was in shock as the inning unfolded culminating in the Bautista dinger. I must say I was unaware of the mounting drama caused by the bat flip until I got home........I never even noticed it live.
I distinctly remember my Cubbies come outta nowhere in 2015 against the Mets and got swept. I was heartbroken. This game I believe may have been after they got swept? Anyway, back then this put a smile on my face when I was full blown depression mode. WOW!
The Centerfield camera was bouncing like a ping pong ball. Those maniacal Blue Jay's fans had that stadium literally rocking.
Noticed that. Just thought it was sloppy camerawork.
If that stadium is anything like Tulane stadium, fans could make it shake like that
With 41 thousand plus people, I have no doubt the stadium would shake.
At the time, several of the camera bays were enclosed platforms attached to sides of the stands. Sure, the stands are made of concrete, but 45,000 fans wildin out literally makes those platforms shake.
the camera bouncing up and down for some reason makes the atmosphere 10 times better i have no idea why
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 bring it on
I remember that I was watching this at work on my PC, when I first working as a car sales, I still remember that day.
UNBELIEVABLE... never will We see anything like that day ... miss all the original players wow ... next yr Blue Jays ... then there is the WOPPING ... 28 run game by Blue Jays... yessss
Hard to play against that electric crowd! Tough day for the Rangers, but they've made up for it since then with their amazing World Series win. Congrats from a Toronto fan! 👏 👏
Angels fan here... just checking in to watch the greatest inning of baseball ever.
2001 WS game 7 9th inning when the dbacks dethroned the Yankees was the best inning ever.

“A 7th inning you’ll never forget.” Foreshadowing at its finest.
Some aspects of this inning brought back memories of the infamous “Bartman” game in Chicago.
Harold Reynolds' "oh my God" when Andrus drops the third one @ 7:02 is iconic... brutal. What a sport.
Just thinking the same. It was so crazy he forgot he was a commentator for a quick second and was talking like a former player watching at home.

@@Heathcoatman lol and if you actually listen it sounds like he said "gosh" anyway
Love that the commentators let the moment breathe when Bautista hit his homerun. The crowd noise was all that was needed in that moment.
major facts
One of the most iconic moments in Blue Jays history.
These are the moments that make baseball so much fun to watch.
Sucks that we lost to Seattle but Ill be back to root for the Jays next season
Bama/Braves fan here. Loved playing this game in the 80’s and 90’s. One thing about baseball is it’s mental!!! If you get in your head or allow someone else to get into your head, you’re in trouble. When you make a mistake, you’ve got to forget it and play forward. Andrus didn’t let go of the first error. It soon became a second and third error. That why many times following an error you’ll see a teammate call timeout and go encourage his teammate. Lots of stress and pressure when you goof up in big games.
Amazing half-inning, amazing video. Thanks for uploading this!
Please never take this video down… Ever.
What an inning, hard to believe it's been 7 years already. I remember watching this game live and was so happy when he hit it out of the park, that entire 7th inning was just unrealistic. We unfortunately lost to the royals the next series in the ALCS. 2015 & 2016 were amazing years for the blue jays.
the clip of him bat flipping and then panning to Goins, goes abosolutely ballistic is one of my most favorite clips in sports history
There are so many things I forgot about this inning. Toronto forever Mr Bautista
This has the same feeling as John Tavares getting that OT Goal in Game 6 or Kawahi Leonard's famous "Bounce". Toronto sports dreams are made on single highlights like these that last a lifetime
I still get goosebumps watching this game/inning.
Seen this a million times and still till this day does the exact same thing- Goose Bumps. Crazy thing is I sometimes use it to test myself and I think- “today it wont work or because Im thinking about it I wont get goosebumps”. Im wrong every time- Real, natural, hair standing up on my neck, arms, and legs. Can’t think of anything else that does that for me. Insane inning, Insane game, Insane series. Great team. Can’t help but think what a Whit Merrifield at 2B would have done for them instead of a guy like Goins.
That's amazing, man!
Current Jays -- take notes of this 2015 team. The chip, the passion, the grit. These guys hated to lose more than they loved to win. They didn't celebrate measly HRs or thump their chest saying "my house" after winning game 1 of a regular season 3 game series. These guys played with so much heart and passion and fans adored them for it.
I’m assuming you’re a newer fan that wasn’t around back then because Donaldson Bautista and Edwin were known for celebrating every home run 😅
I was around in 2015 but I agree with how silly it is for them to do it including putting the home run jacket on everytime they hit a home run and the player saying my house after 1 of the home runs in 2022 was Valdimidar Gurrereo Junior who wears #27, yeah if I was in his shoes I would not have done that
@@ronmexico7256 Edwin? HAHAHA He never celebrated shit on field (outside his parrot signature trot) till his walk off vs the O's. That trio hit around 500 HRs for the jays, name me even 10 regular season HR where they celebrated an empty, meaningless (measly) HR? (you know, the type of HR Carerra would usually only hit when they're already up by 6 or down by 9. LOL
@@Flexb123 Man literally said Edwin didn’t celebrate home runs except for his signature home celebration he did almost every time…. I don’t care about your feels my dude a celebration is a celebration. I’m not sure why you’re so triggered this isn’t a big deal lol
Still gives me goosebumps. This game was just out of this world!
Did they win the world series?
😊😊
@@agayactornamedmichaeldougl6289n
This is the best inning in baseball history
Tough to beat Cubs/Indians 8th inning was it? Or 7th and beyond to extra innings in a Game 7 of the World Series but damn, tough to argue your point man. This was incredible
Or the worst. Depending on who you were for.
If you’re a jays fan, clearly you were not alive for Joe Carter’s walk off homer against Philly. That was national history in Canada and a seriously underrated moment in playoff history. I watched it live when I was in lil league and it was one of those life defining moments for me. In my mind it should be talked about every time anyone utters the word baseball. But it’s seemingly never talked of.
Cardinals/Rangers 9th Inning Game 6 2011 WS was better. Texas on the losing end of that one too.
No it was a comedy of errors not a excess of offensive skills. The inning was a gift.
The crowd cheer/noise gave me goosebumps after he hit that ball. What a moment!
Greatest inning of baseball of all time! Hollywood couldn’t even make this up. Absolutely LOVE IT!!!!!!
Nah. '93 joe carter
REGGIES, THREE HOMERS IN GAME SIX ALL ON THE FIRST PITCH AT YANYEE STADIUM VS LA DODGERS WORLD SERIES GAME 6☆☆☆☆☆1977☆☆☆☆☆.
Best ever moment in MLB history. The energy. The atmosphere. The fans. The players. Most epic moment in sports EVER! I was there. I felt the Skydome shake. I still shake.
I heard just recently that a Rangers player in this game said his jersey was actually shaking from the noise 🇨🇦🇨🇦👍⚾️
When I I feel like crap which is often, I watch this inning. Love to see happy, cheering people. I have hugged total strangers as a bystander in similar situations. Sports and Music can be the Great Uniter.
This was a great Jays team. I miss those guys. None of them left on the team. Great comeback, poor Andrus, must've killed him to let down his team.
As a die hard Rangers fan, with the World Series curse having been exorcised, I can finally let this moment go along with all the heartache it gave me. I rewatched this now and it didn’t even sting one bit. It’s amazing what a championship can do, best of luck to y’all getting yours.
The Jays have 2, but they didn't have to steal and cheat to get theirs.
@@webdesign6776 Are you referring to the Astros?
I remember watching this and right when Joey Bats tossed the bat I tossed my hat in the air. Can't wait to see him live getting his much deserving love this month.
My beloved Jays. Saw their first game ever in a snowstorm against Chicago. Froze my ass off. The only Toronto team to win championships in my era. Back to back.
I could watch this every day .........
GET A LIFE.
Also a game/ inning in which a significantly larger part of Toronto was screaming at the same time. You knew who was watching the same thing in the neighborhood. Everyone went totally nuts :-). That will be the case again next season. As with our 28 R game :-) Now and 4ever 💙🇨🇦
I’m a Twins fan with no dog in this fight, and to this day this is the greatest ending to a game I’ve ever seen. I can recall EVERY play in this inning and went back to watch it multiple times, it was that magical😩
BAUTISTA HITS A DRIVE, DEEP LEFT FIELD NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
Saw this game. One of the most amazing innings ever. Rogers Center was LIT! By far the best post season venue in MLB
My dad brought me to this game when I was 13…. Most insane thing I’ve ever been at. All police, security and anyone in Toronto had to come into the field to try and stop fans from throwing cans / garbage everywhere, they put up messages on the jumbotron for fines of $1000 if you were caught throwing items onto the field etc. best game of my life.
🧢
I remember watching this game when I was a kid. Get like a highlight of my life at the time watching my team make it further into the playoffs
Let's make some new memoies this season. Let's Go BlueJays in 2023!
Showing respect for Kenny Albert's call on that Joey Bats BOMB that caused an earthquake in Toronto it seemed. Took lessons from one Vin Scully...quite the master to learn from though his dad Marv Albert is a hall of fame broadcaster in his own right (mostly for the NY Knicks and NY Rangers, but also has done NBA and NFL and college hoops).
This inning is history 🙌🏽
I don't know if I'm the only person on the planet to notice this--but listen to the initial roar of the crowd when Bautista hits it out. There's only one other time I have ever heard that phenomenon....it's Gibson's 1988 homer. It's a roar that is so guttural and deep....it's AMAZING. Listen to it. AMAZING moment in baseball!
I listened as you suggested. It was different. It was solid sound, no modulation, like a noise machine or a swarm of locusts . Also, the duration of that sound was remarkable.
The weirdest thing about this inning is that 'The Bat Flip' wasn't evened mentioned at the time. Wouldn't the 3 error half-nning be a better title?
I suggest you listen to Joe Carter’s World Series winning home run. Crowd goes loud on contact but once it cleared the fence it was thunderous.
