Thanks for the info. Al Kaline simply Superb.
Rest in peace, Al Kaline!

Rest in peace Mr Tiger💙💙💙

Thank you for this. I love the simplicity of the games televised in this era.
It is 2021 and I am watching this game once again. It was the golden era of baseball and everything about the game was better than today. Gibson, Brock, Flood, McClain, Lolich, Kaline, Cash, Northrup, Freehan, McCarver, Shannon, McAuliffe, Stanley, Brown, Wilson and Horton were REAL BASEBALL PLAYERS! Curt Gowdy and Harry Caray called the game as well as anyone ever has! I grew up in the Detroit Area and lived in the St. Louis Metro Area for 3 years during my career. I was a young boy when the Tigers won and we went crazy! I am a Tigers AND Cards fan! Tiger Stadium was magical and Busch Memorial Stadium was beautiful! These are my two favorite teams and my favorite players too!!! For sure they were two classy teams with great players! Many thanks to everyone on both teams and RIP to those who have passed. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
"It was the golden era of baseball and everything about the game was better than today."
^ this x 1,000,000
Definitely better baseball than today. True. Just as in football & basketball, the players today are faster, stronger, & bigger, but just not any better. Baseball in particular is contradictory since the game actually takes longer. In 1977 MLB avg. was 2:30 (hours: minutes); now it's 3:30. (Instant replay doesn't help) Fundamentally game tempo, which rarely is discussed, has been sacrificed. This goes to the integrity of the game. Watch Gibson & Lolich. No time wasted. Basic skills seem to be sacrificed for emphasis on power. Look at the error & strikeou numbers. Finally, not letting pitchers build stamina (with focus on counts) actually puts more demand on the relievers & leaves your starters lacking confidence. Is baseball, to borrow from Howard Cosell, in its nadir? Who knows? Still love the game, but does it even care for itself?
@@bernieudo4399 Yes. Pace of play. Biggest problem in baseball. Get the ball, pitch it. Batter, stay in box. It really isn't as complex as they want you to think. Hopefully a pitch clock will help.
@@delfrisco3549I personally would say the clock helped immensely.
Mackey Lolich belongs in the hall of fame.
Lolich lived in Roseville for a time. I remember trick or treating on Halloween, years ago, and he was giving candy out! Such a wonderful memory I'll never forget!
Absolutely belongs in the Hall of Fame
big belly
Not in the Hall now even though Baines is. Hmm...
Wonderful World Series, brings back so many fond memories, very enjoyable to be able to view after all these years, Mickey Lolich was phenomal with only 2 days rest
Three complete game victories in the 1968 World Series, including the clinching game 7.
No one will ever do again what Mickey Lolich did here. Ever.
I ❤ my 1984 Tigers, but I think this 1968 team is my favorite by a slim margin. I only wish I was better than a week old when this game was played, and that I could have enjoyed it then.
Thank goodness we have these videos. 🐯 ⚾️
As of 6-14-23,5 Tigers and 3 Cardinals from this game are still alive.
Also:It was the last game played with the high mound.
I’m glad I watched this, never seen it before, only heard my grandpa talk about it. Go Tigers!!!
No one mentions that Denny was pitching with a sore arm in this series. He got a cortisone shot before game 6 and was his usual unhittable self. Larger point? Tigers had a better team.
Lolich pitching with two days of rest. Gibson pitching with 3 days rest. Oh my how are times changed! Curt Gowdy and Harry Carey were amazing! Go Tigers!!! Bob Gibson was an amazing athlete!
We're not worthy.
Denny McClain had a great year and was a great pitcher.
@@richardmontana5864 - yes he did and hail to Denny! 31 game winner in modern baseball and had a great year with 24 wins in 1969 too!
Nobody ever did sports broadcasting better than the great Curt Gowdy. The voice of a legend.
Curt Gowdy. Howard Cosell called him “The Old Cowboy.” Yes, he was a broadcasting legend, because he could do multiple sports. I miss the man. Hearing his voice takes me back to simpler times.
Just watching this you're brought into a far different era. Look at the crowd--almost all are well dressed. As if a game was being played on a Sunday right after church. Don't know if that game fell on a Sunday, but expectations were this was serious & you dressed accordingly. An era of real baseball. Complete games. Sportsmanship. Respect for the game & your opponent. Baseball was once like this.
note that the game took about 2.5 hours and usually only 1 or 2 commercials after each half-inning. Now you get a half-dozen commercials and the game takes 4 hours. What used to be a few hours entertainment becomes something that requires your entire evening, often going past midnight. Unless the Tigers are playing or I'm at a party, I can't imagine watching a World Series game anymore: I have too much to do.
@@Zimster2000 Yes. We're talking about the quality of baseball played. The action should be crisp & uninterrupted. Numerous commercials deflate any momentum & sports today stutter & stop. Ironically, it's the least conditioned athlete who is rewarded with these breaks. Imagine telling Gibson or Ford to slow it down. Ease up.
I believe this game 7 was played on a Thursday. I recall rushing home from school just in time to watch the exciting 7th inning on our new color tv. I still can see Northrop’s drive sailing over Flood’s head. The Tigers were very classy in victory. No bragging, no boasting, no taunting or showboating, just a quiet confidence.
@@bernieudo9072 Most baseball games if properly played, should be completed in around 2 hours. Today, they’ve ruined it with all the extra commercials. Also, the pitcher should get 10 seconds between pitches, not 20-30. In addition, the batter must stay in the box and be ready to hit every 10 seconds.
@@frederickrapp5396 Winners shouldn't rub it in & losers ought to congratulate the victor. Class is thus exhibited.
Thank you Canadian Broadcasting for having the forethought to shoot a kinescope of this broadcast.
Harry Caray would be out a year later as the Cardinals lead announcer. But that's another story...
hibob418 Why was Harry Carey let go as Cardinal’s announcer? Money?
@@frederickrapp5396 Because Harry was banging August Busch's wife and August found out after awhile.
Matthew Jay Evans Thanks for the information. I never realized that Harry Caray has other things on his mind besides being a baseball announcer. In my mind, he will always be the voice of the St. Louis Cardinals.
@@frederickrapp5396 Bob Costas once asked Harry, what's it all about Harry? He answered, Booze, Broads, Baseball and Bullshit kid...
@@garylobo348 Sounds like Harry.
Norm cash belongs in the hall of fame!
Awesome series. I was in junior high school when it happened, I loved my Tigers--and my Redwings, who had Gordie Howe and Alex Delvecchio.
I was in 4th at Jane Adams Elementary School in Royal Oak, Michigan.
I was in 8th grade, Forest Hills Jr. High School (later, Forest Hills Central), Grand Rapids, Michigan. I grew up listening to Ernie and most of these players. Mickey Stanley's little brother went to my school, two years behind me. Great, bittersweet memories. My grandfather, an avid fan, missed watching this team finally win the World Series by 2 years.
I was 10. I watched this in school at Kennedy Elementary.
@@octogirl2046 I was 9 and we got to listen to the game in our classroom. Life seemed so simple then...
In the regular season of 1968, Lolich was the starting pitcher in 32 games and pitched out of the bullpen for an additional seven appearances. I believe therfore, he was not as tired as McLain was for the Series. McLain was great in '68, starting 41 games, going
31-6!!!
There will NEVER be another 30 game winner again...
Really incredible then & impossible now. With pitch counting & focus on metrics, no way to even win 25+. Wouldn't serve the team to overwork your ace.
@@antonchigurh7820 The Closest anyone came to 30 since was Bob Welch in 1990 with 27
Mickey Lolich was a bad man! 2days rest,complete game,K firing lefty! He was Superman in 1968
My gpa went to a catholic school and he said the priest would wheel in a TV into the classroom and tell the nuns “these kids are watching the World Series today” he used tell me all about this team. Since he’s passed a few years ago watching baseball hasn’t been the same.
I was in school then. Every year we would take breaks iin class to listen to World Series games. No matter who was in it. In 68 in Detroit we had TV' S in the classrooms everything stopped for the games. To enable us to watch game 7 the Detroit school Superintendent moved up a teachers conference so we would have a half day of school. We all raced home to see the game on TV.
@@ericw3229 yup my gpa said in 68 he went to a catholic school and he said the priest would wheel a tv in the classroom and said “these kids are watching the World Series today” lol
Lutheran school in Birmingham, right next to St. Columbans on 14 mile. We also watched on a TV wheeled into the gym. Grateful to the adults that made this treasured memory happen.
I'm not a fan of either team so I didn't have a dog in the fight. But this was one of the greatest World Series of all time.
If the Cardinals had won the 1968 World Series they would have been considered a MLB dynasty of the 1960’s. One play pretty much decided game 7.
cards weren't that good anyways. They had 2 great players Brock and Gibson. If Gibson hadn't won 7 WS games and Brock stolen 15 bases the Cards probably would not have won any of the WS they were in during the 60s. Tigers absolutely smoked them in 2 of the games, 8-1 and 13-1
The series turned in a dime when Lou Brock thought he could bowl over Bill Freehand in game five. he slides and he' s safe and that could have changed everything
One of three great WS in a row 67,68,69.
7 in a row 67-73
Happy 79th Birthday today to Willie Horton (10/18/42). Him & Jim Northrup both went 2-4 this game
McLain won 31 games that year but Lolich was their real clutch pitcher.
Roger Maris told his teammates before the series that the pitcher they had to worry about was Lolich not so much McClain...
R.I.P. Bill Freehan
When Mickey Lolich is interviewed he said he wasn't tired but was weak, and then later said that being tired caused his sinking fastball to sink even more.
Wonder if any managers today are aware of this? For pitchers who don't go past five/six innings, this is one reason you keep him in. Hopefully stamina will be built as the season progresses.
And to think, the Cardinals had a future Hall of Famer in the bullpen, and didn't use him -- Steve Carlton.
Cardinals had Gibson. He was expected to go 9, and he did. In those days, you were supposed to go 9. Different times.
I remember sitting in the classroom listening to this game over the loudspeaker at St Gabriel school in Detroit Mi.
Love the video .. I feel the crowd is very reserved for a game 7 especially during introductions
It sucks that this game is not in color. But the highlight video of this World Series is in color.
Anyway, nice to see so many great ones here, Al Kaline, Mickey, Lolich, Willie Horton, Eddie Mathews, Lou Brock, Steve Carlton, Orlando Cepeda, Bob Gibson, and Roger Maris.
black and white reflects the era. I love it.
Color can still be viewed if you find your family's 1960's COLOR TV. The vacuum-tubes in the set are RUclips compatible. Magical, just like our Tigers!
Mickey Lolich. An unathletic, paunchy guy with a rubber arm and a heart like a Bengal Tiger, beats the incredible Bob Gibson and his amazing pitching arsenal. I simply love players like Lolich, maybe not the most talented, but who give absolutely everything and rise to the occasion on the biggest stage. What a warrior!
RIP AL.
Jesus, seeing the behind the plate view of Gibsons curve...nasty
Great 68 team stopped the 60s juggarnaut Cardinals! Gibson ( RIP)
never got over this series loss. The Cardinals just got beat by a better team.
Ur absolutely right about that.....the Tigers were the better team
@@mikeforte7585 If Brock slides in game 5, we would say Cards were better. Oh well, that’s baseball.
The Cards fans never forgave Flood for misplaying that fly ball. Should have been the third out. He was traded to the Phillies the next year and the rest is history. Carlton was young at this time. He was a union leader and management disliked that so off he went to Philadelphia for Rick Wise.
@@dennisbedard9850 Brock would've caught it.
@@frederickrapp5396 I believe Brock wanted pay back for Freehan throwing him out earlier on the pitch out. Big mistake! Freehan had played tight end in college and Brock bounced off him like rubber ball Then in game seven he pulled the stunt on the pick off and thrown out. The Mickey picked off Flood.
I was in 5th grade and a big Tiger fan - even though I live in Connecticut. My mom actually gave me a permission slip to get out of school early so I could see the game. Of course the slip didn’t give THAT reason for the early dismissal.
End of an era last World Series played without a National or American League championship series to be played before
I was 13 yo in 1968. Surprisingly the broadcast seems like it's it's 1958.
When I watched, I pretended I was listening to Ernie Harwell at the MIC with a head cold. What a game!
Boy, the image of this video is amazing! ⚾📺😁
It is a trip seeing all those people in suits and ties!
The day I was born...Cool...
Did your mom call u “tiger”?
@@jaydesrochers3276 True story...They almost did! Would've been a cool middle name, anyway...
@@ralphwiggum2058 what time of day were you born? The game ended at 4:06 pm est.
@@dallasbrubaker6054 I was born at 4:52 a.m. est....So I was about 11 hours old when they won, and probably sleeping (lol).
@@ralphwiggum2058 unbelievable!!
Way to go Tigers !!!!!
It's February 2024, I'm watching this version from Canada for the first time. I listened to this game on Armed Forces Radio while stationed in Camp Casey in South Korea. As I recall it was about 2-3 in morning. I had the Tigers in the Barracks pool with a score of 4-0. I was already counting my winnings in my mind until Mike Shannon hit that homer in the 9th. Goodbye $500.00 dollars but hello WS championship. Just two in my lifetime, not hardly enough.
found this for my grandpa
same
68 was GREAT for the by Tigers!
Curt Gowdy transcended all Sportscasters!
Holy shit, Willie Horton is chiseled. (2:30:24)
before he turned into a fat load
@@DonQwantsyou Well yeah, this is almost 53 years ago. Of course it's before.
Before steroids.
Starting pitchers were much more durable back then. Today, a starter is happy to go 5 innings
It's not so much as they're happy to go 5 innings it's just that they're not trained to pitch deep into games anymore.
@@richiebambara3980 Which is one of the things that's ruined the game, in my opinion.
Richie Bambara analytics have changed the game. Now pitchers throw as hard as they can until 100 or so pitches. The next guy comes in and does the same thing. There is no pacing and far more arm issues.
Now just throwers; pitching a lost art. Imagine Gibson v. Perry w/both going EXTRA INNINGS. What pitch count? Then..."How you feeling Hoot?""I'll sit him down."
They used to pace themselves, and when they didn't, they were shot up with all sorts of drugs. Such medications may have helped mess up McLain's mind, contributing to the trouble he got in. Pitchers also tended to have short careers. For example, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, who went full throttle all the time. My family and I all kept saying "take him out, already" when it got to the late innings. A couple years and he was done.
If I could go back to 1968??? Id tell anybody about to buy a CHEVY CHEVELLE to wait for the 1970 SS LS6 MODEL...MAN ARE THEY IN FOR A TREAT!!!

I never knew Curt Flood was the goat of the series. Anyone can slip on bad turf, but he misread the ball as well. It cost them the game and the championship.
Lot of debate on the triple. Some say he misplayed it. Others said even if he hadn't slipped it was too well hit for him to get it. It would have been great if they had all the camera angles like they do now. Flood was a having a good series until.the bottom of the 6th in that game. He gets picked off off then the triple over his head. Brock' s inning and a half wasn'' t too good either. He tried to steal on
Lolich' s pick off throw get' s thrown out then misses the catch on Freehan' s double to knock in Northrup for run # 3.
@@ericw3229 that ball would have been caught easily by mickey stanley. flood misjudged it. he never would have slipped if he had not misjudged it. absolutely no debate whatsoever
Flood said after the game he lost the ball in the light-shirted crowd. He started laterally on the ball, then stumbled and lost his chance to gauge it. Northrup had excellent power to all fields. Perhaps, if Flood had been more aware of Northrup's power, he would have automatically started back on high fly ball by Northrup that he temporarily lost in the crowd. In that case, he might have made one of his spectactular catches. I think, in general, the Tiger's batting prowess was undervalued before the series. They won many games in 1968 in the later innings. One of the reasons why McClain had 31 wins that year.
I agree Flood misjudged it. If he respected Northrups all-field power and more importantly broke properly as soon as the ball was hit, he catches it. I do think that even if he does catch it, the Tigers still win it..Lolich was totally on that day.
Legend says Jim Northrup never paid for another beer in Detroit
First WS I remember watching coming home from school just had to miss a couple of innings
I just assumed Lolich was there ace my brother telling me Gibson was the best he was right of course but not that day
Go 🐅!
This series had everything - in the Year of the Pitcher.
The Tigers were relentless and were the better team.
Yes, I agree. “Relentless” is a very good word for it - this is why they won and this is why they were the better team.
The Cardinals have blown a 3-1 lead four times; the other three times, they lost Game 7 by scores of 11-0, 15-0 and 9-0, and were one out away from being shut out in this game.
2:22:25: "There'll be some automobile horns squawking in the Motor City." --Yes, and that included the horn on my Father's 1968 Pontiac Bonneville in Redford Township Michigan!! ;-)
There has to be a better NBC broadcast in color somewhere, especially for the Tigers you tube site. Just saying?
There is, and I've seen it several times, but can remember where. Maybe being 80 has something to do with it.
The word "tube" after "you" reminded me why your modern screens aren't giving you COLOR. You need a 1960's COLOR TV with vacuum tubes. Place the SET on carpeting (avacado or burnt-orange if possible) in a room with wood paneling for best reception. Roof antenna or rabbit-ears are also required.
I agree with all of you who have commented that today’s games are too long. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Who made the last out but the famous color analyst Tim McCarver.
This was the last time Gen. William "Spike" Eckert presented the trophy; he was fired as Commissioner two months later.

Did Gibson get tired in the seventh inning?
Yes. You'll notice the Tigers got hits on 3 consecutive pitches. That's not guys 'workin the count' They were teeing off.
The biggest issue that Gibson ran into was that,in a scoreless game, he had to throw a first pitch strike. The Tigers caught to that in the Seventh inning.
Tigers should have win in 67 as well!
The Twins should have won it as well
2:27:37 Ernie Harwell in the Detroit clubhouse.
It' s been said Gibson never got over that game 7 He was cruising along dominating and three consecutives pitches cost the Cards the series
gibson pitched great. the first 2 hits werent anything special. had flood not misjudged the northrup ball, it would have been caught. we got a little lucky to win the game, like we did.
@@jimmybrice6360 I think after Cash's and Horton's singles Gibson got a little flustered or upset. McCarver went out to settle him down but it looked like Gibson wasn't listening. Then he reared back one let loose at Northrup almost like see f you can hit this one and Jimmy did.
@@jimmybrice6360 I think that at the end of a long season and a long series, Gibson ran out of gas, that's all.
"Had flood not misjudged the northrup ball, it would have been caught." Well, sure. If only he'd played it right, he wouldn't have played it wrong, is what you're saying.
But I'm not sure that the way Flood judged that fly made any difference. Northrup hit the ball way over Flood's head. I doubt that he ever had a chance to catch it.
@@chrismazzara5381 you need to go watch it again. it was not hit way over his head. mickey stanley would have waltzed over there and caught it. flood came in on the ball, which is why it ended up way over his head. it would have been a routine catch for mickey stanley.
i dont think gibson ran out of gas. he may have gotten a bit flustered. cash's ball was not hit that well. and horton had a pretty hard ground ball, but it would have been caught, had the ball not had eyes. horton got it just in the right spot. so i can see that he might have been a bit frustrated, and then gotten a little careless with northrup. but northrup's ball was not hit great. it had some lift to it, and like i said, it would have been caught had it been judged correctly.
13:47 Bob Gibson arrives to the mound
I miss sports so much. Today they are unwatchable. Sad.
At 1:35 I think Brock was safe!
At 18:41, when Kaline hits a foul ball over third base side, there's a fan (in white shirt) who appears to be talking on a cell phone. In 1968?
It's a transistor radio.
Time traveler duh
Marty McFly disobeying Doc Brown.
@@aaronduran466 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤧🤧🤧
He's holding a transistor radio up to his ear listening to play by play. it was common then.
@ 1:49:52 Brock missed the ball and it landed on the goal line. LOL
Wonder what happened to the 2 women on the third base side. You see them constantly during the game. Must have been Cardinal season ticket holders.
Bill Freehan RIP
Watch the two Tiger hat steelers when the Tigers celebrate after the final out.
That's funny! They could probably use DNA today to identify the players actual hats...but I'm sure the culprits are still on the lam.
Flood's error 1:47:45
I notice that there was a lot of first-pitch swinging.
Makes sense to knock out a starter who gets stronger the more he pitches.
Tiger fan but in todays game Brock would have been safe at 2nd bottom of 6th and possibly could have scored!
I think he's still out!
5 years old stand in Detroit Michigan intersection people folk celebrating LAR white Siberian Tiger
Mickey.
A very young Mickey Lolich vs. a taxed Bob Gibson in this decisive game.
The bad news is that the Cardinals rematch the Tigers in the 2006 World Series in the Tigers lost the World Series in 2006 Leading the Cardinals winning their 10th World Series championship
Why is this WS in 1968 in black and white?
Not compatible with your modern color monitor. You just need to play this Broadcast on an old 1960's COLOR TV and see what happens!
Mrs. Schoendiest shouldn’t quit her day job😂😂 just kidding, she was ok. Not bad.
Brock was safe at second in the sixth inning.
Unless Brock's foot missed the bag. The umpire was only a foot away and had a perfect view and Brock didn't put up much of an argument so maybe his foot was wide of the bag.
From that view he looked safe. The throw beat him, but it was high and that gave Brock the time to beat the tag. A close play, but the ump had a better angle. Anyway, it's in the books. But I love the pace of this game, and others of this era. No 3 minute breaks between innings, relief pitchers, no video review and constant dilly-dallying to gum up the afternoon.
came to the comment section to see if anybody had noticed this. he looks safe to me but i'm surprised he didn't contest the call. maybe he missed the bag originally but from that center field angle he looks very clearly safe. what if what if....
@@pigalleycatemanresu7321 there's a view from 3rd looking to 2d and he actually looks to be out but not by much
I believe his foot was wide of the bag. You can clearly see the umpire immediately explaining this after the play, on the replay.
Base running and defense hallmarks of ST Louis failed them at the worst possible time
Is this kinescope just COVERED in chromadots or is this some other problem. Sure wish we could get a nice scan and restoration of these games WITH colour.
Cutting school was an October tradition unless there were Jewish holidays
Loved those Jewish holidays. This is from a Virginia Presbyterian who grew up in Detroit with a First and last name that sounded Jewish.
all these 1st pitch outs or hits by the tigers in the 8th and 9th innings. thats why baseball isso unwatchable now.
Too many commercials.
I hope you're kidding.
Awful call at 2nd. Brock was safe
Gibson gives up 4 straight hits that lead to 3 runs. Cards are down 3-0 in the bottom of the eighth, yet they let Gibson hit for himself with one out and nobody on base. It seems as if they we're scared to take Gibson out. In the top of the ninth, Tigers have 1st and 3rd with one out, they still leave Gibson in. Score goes to 4-0. You were not touching Lolich on this day. Shannon homers with 2 outs and nobody on in the ninth, too little, too late.
Al Kaline, didn’t he invent the battery?🤔
Posting old worlds series cause they cant make one
Phonetics are hard for some.
Why not in color?
This only exists as a black and white kinescope film saved by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
@@gjamieson78 The previous year 1967 was in color.
Because NBC Wipe it broadcast of the series but CBC didn't but tranfer it in Black and White
The 1968 Heathkit Color TV with a strong antenna should do the trick but if not , have your little sister hold the rabbit-ears while viewing. Worked at my house in Royal Oak.
If Lou Brock slides into home plate, instead of trying to score standing up in Game 5 at Tiger Stadium, then Game 7 never happens.
Uh, Ok?
I'm a tiger fan but can agree on that because with the run scoring ," lolich is taken out of the game.
In all likely hood the cards would have won the series
@@mikeforte7585 I tend to agree with you. Not for sure, but in all likelihood. I thought 68 Cardinals were a slightly better all around ball club, although I give the Tigers all the credit for coming back from 1-3 to win it all.
@@frederickrapp5396 Yes. Rare to come back from 0-3 or 1-3. When it's done it's truly an amazing comeback.
Wow! I'd love to watch this, but I'm not gonna sit through two commercials every 3 1/2 minutes. Get serious! I understand that you have to make money, but do you really have to exploit the desire to see this game seven so ruthlessly?
Unfortunately, you know why we’re here
Im a tigers fan but brock was safe stealing
bob the snob gibson gets beat
