I was just watching this a few days ago. I've had this for at least a dozen years or so. This is a great DVD, and I wish there was a follow up for 2003 onward.
12:10: The 1906 White Sox were known as the "Hitless Wonders" getting to the Series with a .230 team batting average. Their pitching ace was "Big" Ed Walsh, a spitballer who struck out 12 Cubs in game 3 and two years later in 1908 won 40(!!) games.
Love of baseball ⚾️ It's the smells, not just in the stands like most people talk about (popcorn, cigar smoke) but when playing it's the leather glove, freshly cut grass, the actual smell of the baseball, the bubble-gum, even the hat you've been sweating profusely in all season.... 😁 ⚾️ 🥰
I think the magic of baseball is really what made it America’s Pastime. I’ve been to a MLB game, and it’s unlike any other experience. There was so much stuff to do before and after the game, the food was amazing, the crowd was alive, you could always keep up with what was going on. It’s a really special experience you can’t find anywhere else.
Growing up there was two world Series moments that are some of my best memories as a kid and it will live in my heart and my memory until the day I die!! One is the 1986 New York Mets winning the world Series and the other is Kirk Gibson's 1988 home run!! If there was ever a moment in baseball that seemed like it was a movie script it was Kirk Gibson's 1988 world series home run!! A old beat-up ball player coming to the mound with bad knees and saving the day with a home run!! It was almost like God whispered in his ear and said son today is your moment go get it!!! That was one of the most emotional things I've ever seen in my life!! And in my opinion one of the greatest moments in baseball
Baseball back in the day? Sure. Baseball today? Pass. It lost its shine after the players strike with all the steroids, cheaters, terrible announcers, expansion teams, woke dreck and disloyal whores.
@@MaximusWolfewell I disagree with that. Baseball was on fire from 95-2004. It had a great mix of shut down pitching, run manufacturing, and of course, THE LONG BALL. As for the last decade or so? Completely agree. No creativity-everything is statistically decided. All about home runs. Pitchers don't go past the 6th inning. I went to a game a few years ago that was called a "bullpen" game. They just threw in different relievers every couple innings and hoped the offense would take them over the top. No thanks. I'd rather stay home and watch this or Jack Morris pitch 10 innings of shutout baseball in game 7 of the world series. Or the 2004 ALCS😊😊😊😊
When I was a kid (1950's) there were 16 teams in baseball. If your team didn't make it to the world series then you cheered for the underdog. It was a great time to be a baseball fanatic as a kid. We could tell you the stats on every player in the majors all season long. And if a player was traded it was big news. Damned Yankees!!!
In The 90’s we all new Griffey Jr. was the best player in Baseball unless you were a SF Giants fan Lol and the best SS in Baseball was Barry Larkin unless you were a Stl. Cardinals fan. 😏
@@duanedorman6134 Rose and Ryan. You said better hitter so I went with Rose. Better player is Carew. No contest between Ryan and Seaver. Ryan was, no doubt, the better pitcher.
I loved him when he was with the Cubs I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure he either won or came in second for batting average one year with them he could throw his back at a ball and sometimes get a hit!
As an English man not raised with Baseball, I must confess to being seduced by it's theatre and pageantry' I'm here as a result of Ken Burns wonderful documentary series on Baseball.
Robert Dore It’s such a beautiful sport. Instantly classic. I’ll never forget my first game. Chicago Cubs. It’s set up so much different than the other American giants. Hearing the crowd roar on a game ending strike three call from the umpire was such a rush. A nice steady pace rather slow but tensions develop on a whim sometimes. Not a constant running back and forth between hoops or goal posts. Just slow and steady.
I appreciate this and all I did to correct the sound was to download it, edit the sound so it synced up...perfect and worth watching. Thanks again for the upload. I'm sorry for the people who were "Angry" about it...just relax...life goes on. AND it was only off by about 1 second...geez!
By the end of the video, it was off by more than 12 seconds. The audio track was actually faster than the video. This is easily resolved, though, by playing the video in 2 separate windows, giving the muted video window a head start, and occasionally briefly pausing the audio window to keep it from getting ahead.
I read a lot of comments about the audio being out of sync with the video, but there were more vintage photos and videos than there were present day comments, so why all the complaints?
1991 World Series was the greatest World Series I've ever seen. I am a Braves fan. Kirby Puckett played out of his mind in that World Series. I've never seen such a gut-wrenching back and forth world series ever.
Kirby and his Twins beat my Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS to advance to the World Series. I was heart broken. But Jays got their titles in '92 and '93.
I grew up on the Cubs and lived in ATL thru the Nineties. It was gut wrenching being a Braves fan. Knowing you've got HoF pitchers and can't.... Thank God for 95
Im 30 and as a young kid i was an allstar catcher that learnd a lot from my top 5 favorite phillies of all time. Him and jim thomie were the good ol days
I bought this DVD in the 2000’s and watched it so many times. The special features are just as good with last out and celebrations in the clubhouse for many of the World Series. It ends at 2002 World Series. I also bought the 100 Years of the New York Yankees DVD released 2002. Awesome documentary about the Yankees history.
@@dondressel452 That was a great World Series. One of the greatest games be seen with the 2001. As a Dodgers and Angels fan I was happy obviously. Giants fans got to celebrate 8 years later and 2 more.
But the biggest impact in the History of the World Series came on the 101th year after Very First World Series In 1903 on the 100th Edition of “The Fall Classic”!
This was great fun. However, as a Tiger fan, I'm a little disappointed in the description of the 1940 Series between the Tigers and the Reds. The video missed one great personal interest story. Bobo Newsom won 2 games for Detroit, He was scheduled to come back and pitch Game 7. Right before the game, Bobo was told his dad had died. He still went out and ppitched a gem, but lost 2-1.
Memorable moments - 1969 - The Amazing Mets deny the Baltimore Orioles the title. 1970 - Baltimore holds off Cincinnati and gets the title. 1971 - Roberto Clemente helps PIttsburgh win the World Series against the Birds (Baltimore Orioles). He got the MVP - but sadly he died 2 years later in a plane crash. 1972 - 1973 - The As had to deal with 7-game WS marathons to get the 1972 championship against the Big Red Machine, and in 1973 against the Mets. 1974 - THE A'S THREEPEAT after they beat the Dodgers in Game 5 winning the series 4-1. Almost a sweep! 1975 - The Big Red Machine wins against the Red Sox in a 7-game marathon. 1976 - Bicentennial World Series - Yankees vs. the Big Red Machine. And the Big Red Machine routs the Yanks in 4 - a shocking sweep of the series! 1977 - Reggie Jackson and the Yankees bite back against the Dodgers and the Yanks redeem themselves and win their World Series with Reggie getting the MVP.
@@Shindler39 no, sorry, 1960, 7th game, bottom of the 9th, Bill Mazeroski walk off winning home run, against Mickey Mantle and the Yankees, greatest world series moment of all time, nothing even comes close
1920 World Series Cleveland Indians(now Guardians) are the only team in World series history that had an unassisted triple play. 1985 World series, St. Louis Cardinals 3 outs away to win the title in 4 years, the incorrect call on first base allows the Royals of Kansas City to win game 6 and game 7 shut out 11-0 to win their 1st world series. The Braves are the only team to win the World Series in 3 different cities Boston in 1914, Milwaukee in 1957, and Atlanta in 1995. New York Yankees won the most World series at 27.
In the 1979 World Series the Pirates weren't down 3-1 and won 3 in a row to win the World Series, they did that in 1979. In 1971 they were down 0-2, won 3 straight to go up 3-2, lost Game 6, then won Game 7. So in 1971 they were down 0-2 and won 4 of the next 5.
Sorry, forgotten to tell you why, because the synchronization of the sound and image is really annoying and really too bad because it is really WORTH to correct this outstanding documentary!!!!!!!
@@chrishall6419 I know, but put your shoes in a die hard Red Sox fan. Millions who lived and died without ever witnessing a Red Sox world championship.
It's interesting to me watching this how much baseball really is a team game. Great teams needed great players, but the best player did not always win--Babe Ruth only won four World Series with the Yankees in the 14 years that he played there. Generally great teams rallied around their pivotal players to produce the winning combination for that year.
I believe the sound difference was meant to be. Everything happens for a reason. I’m learning a new skill. Bedtime should be called ‘Time travel’. I enjoy travelling for 8 hrs, 4 hrs and my favourite 15 mins.
That ole ck swing conclusion to it but you had to root for both, I was. Hell of a battle. Wanted both but Now Dodgers have it going. What pitching. Awesome game Ruff ruff.
Big baseball ⚾️ 😎 fan love ❤️ 😍 the game in the fun in memory's great food in drinks destination 😀 phoenix arizona diamondbacks area favorite film angeles in the out field its makes fell like am still on the field looking to win 🏆 😀 yea me with a home run like baby Ruth or berry bonds cool 😎
Great upload... Anyone else think of the 1930's as a bit "meh" for MLB in terms of a shortage of personalities and characters? Even the "dead ball" era pre-1920 had Cobb, Mathewson, "Three-fingers" Brown, Wagner, et al. Then, the 1940's had the great MVP debate between Joltin' Joe and Ted Williams, and Musial tearing it up in the National League - and I'm sure I'm blanking momentarily on other "biggies" of that decade.
Gehrig played during the entire decade and DiMaggio played 4 years in the 30s, yet they both are associated with other decades. Dizzy Dean and the gas house gang comes to mind, then you had Carl Hubble and his 5 strikeouts in the all star game. but it was during the great depression, people weren't in the best moods. the 20s, 40s and onward into the early 70s were boom times, with the country celebrating people and events more enthusiastically. it's just a thought though.
@@sportsrevisited9699 I was going to bring up Gehrig as an 'exception' but I didn't want to drone on too long. But Dizzy and the Gang HAD slipped my mind at the moment. oops.
@@sportsrevisited9699 Just looked up DiMaggio's stats. I figured his first few years were "warming-up" years, but wow, he was on fire from the get-go! Also, Hack Wilson fascinates me with his tragic story and incredible 1930 season - but that season was about it for his 1930's contributions, unfortunately..

Wow, the Chicago Cubs, the class and top of the National League. What the hell happened in 100 years? Oh yeah, blame Bartman, who's only sin was trying to keep to himself, watch his first game with a sea of arms goes up so he does the same yet the city to include the Media turns him into the reasons why the Cubs has sucked. It wasn't because the Cubs panicked and lost concentration. It would be hilarious if the Cubs didn't win another championship until year 2100.
Please, for goodness sake, what is the name of the song @32:00? I have loved this song for years and have heard it across many sports docs. I love baseball and sports and just want to listen to it lol.
Super Doc but very unfortunate the unsynchronized image and sound from the middle until the end becomes really difficult to follow!!!! otherwise I really appreciate the documentary, insightful and rich!Bob Costas does really a good job but for the fan of baseball that I am,can you please help me to restore the problem??most appreciated, greetings from Brussels Belgium!!!!!
Over nearly 145 years of professional baseball, no player was tougher to strike out than Hall of Fame shortstop Joe Sewell. In 7,132 career at-bats, Sewell heard the umpire say “Strike three” just 114 times. That’s one strikeout for every 63 at-bats, or once every 17 games, or in just .014 percent of his total times at the plate. Hall of Fame slugger Babe Ruth, whose power at the plate became synonymous with baseball during the time he and Sewell played, racked up nearly 12 times more punchouts in the big leagues. “I never had trouble seeing the ball,” said Sewell, who often claimed he could see the spiraling seams on a baseball. “That’s because I followed it in. Why, I could even see the ball leave my bat.” So it was more than a noteworthy occurrence when on May 13, 1923, Joe Sewell struck out twice in one game for the first time in his career. In truth, it was more like an historical aberration. As an American League star in the 1920s and 1930s, Sewell regularly faced some of the best hurlers the game had ever seen, including Hall of Fame names like Red Faber, Waite Hoyt, Walter Johnson, and Herb Pennock. In 96 matchups, Hall of Famer Lefty Grove - he of 2,266 career strikeouts - could never reach strike three on Sewell, prompting him to call the shortstop the toughest batter he ever faced. So with those impressive hurlers in mind, “Who was the first pitcher to strike out Joe Sewell twice in a game?” might make for one of the better trivia questions in baseball history. That’s because the answer is rookie Cy “Wally” Warmoth, who was making just his sixth career start when the Washington Senators traveled to Cleveland’s Dunn Field to face Sewell’s Indians. By May 1923, Warmoth did have a couple wins against the Yankees under his belt, but few could have predicted that he would be the first to send Sewell back to the dugout twice. Though there is little anecdotal evidence from the game, a New York Times box score shows the lefty Warmoth collecting four strikeouts that day, but also issuing nine walks and losing to Cleveland by a 5-2 score.
The BiG RED MACHiNE Is the last Great Team NickName I can think of off hand. Asterisk’s are fitting but it’s not a great 1 not their official name for being Great. Unless it’s for being Great @ cheating then I give them that. 😉 😏
Martin Arnold WAMCO That’s hella lame. Why would you even think to mention that in the same breath? Yeesh Now that’s a dope line up and those 92 & 93 Jays were awesome teams with Winfield & Rickey & Maulitor being added to the core players and that staff but that’s the lamest Nickname ever.
Never mind all the best games best players for one moment in time one subpar player who for what ever reason his mgr gave him the nod and in 1987 game 4 Tom '0 for the season' Lawless pinch hits a punching judy liner and stares at the hit before taking several walking steps towards first ...before he realized the ball actually cleared the fence and then with out taking his eye off the ball flipped his bat in the most iconic bat flip ever. This was the loudest sound i have ever heard the croud reaction when that ball on a line drive ricochet back on to the field about 2 feet above the line
OPEN up a 2nd window and turn the sound off and sync it to the 1st video window. Pretty easy to fix the sound that way ... BOOM!! MicDrop!
@@aubreykrendale4266 then dont watch it and bitch about it jackass.
Steve, that's a great solution. I wanted to keep the video so I just downloaded it and synced the sound.

1985 World series, St. Louis Cardinals 3 outs away to win the title in 4 years, the incorrect call on first base allows the Royals of Kansas City to win game 6 and game 7 shut out 11-0 to win their 1st world series.
The Braves are the only team to win the World Series in 3 different cities Boston in 1914, Milwaukee in 1957, and Atlanta in 1995. New York Yankees won the most World series at 27.
In the 1979 World Series the Pirates weren't down 3-1 and won 3 in a row to win the World Series, they did that in 1979. In 1971 they were down 0-2, won 3 straight to go up 3-2, lost Game 6, then won Game 7. So in 1971 they were down 0-2 and won 4 of the next 5.
Good catch that's what I thought too...
??? - I don't hear in the documentary where they claim a 3-1 comeback in 1971.
@@aboxofbroken8tracks983 down 3-1 in 1979, sorry. I fixed it.
1975 was the greatest World Series of all times!
To me, that '75 series was so good that neither team lost...so many great moments... especially of course in game 6..
Diamondbacks Yankees was quite epic too
No 1991 game 7 was the best
Sorry, forgotten to tell you why, because the synchronization of the sound and image is really annoying and really too bad because it is really WORTH to correct this outstanding documentary!!!!!!!
Grew up listening and on Sundays watching baseball,to bad they sold the fans out
Bill Buckner Should be in the Hall Of Fame Along with Cincinnati's Dave Concepcion , Lee May ,Reggie Smith An A few Others !
It should be the hall of truly outstanding players, not the hall of guys who put together pretty good careers.
Wow, that was really good. Great memories I was 14 again I’m 65 now too cool, nice job Mr. creator.
7:03 Jesse Orosco's glove never comes down. Some say God took it back into heaven after he gifted the 86 Mets with a World Series.
Stanley never made a move for 1st. So even if Buckner makes the play there was no one at 1st
Tired of Buckner being blamed..plenty of blame to go around...
@@chrishall6419 I know, but put your shoes in a die hard Red Sox fan. Millions who lived and died without ever witnessing a Red Sox world championship.
The 72-74 Oakland A's was one of the best of the 70s or 80s baseball especially beating a powerful red's team in the world series
Agreed...the Big Red Machine gets more love, but that Oakland team was a powerhouse as well.
This was a truly an excellent documentary thank you.👍💯
Rest in ☮️ for Cy Young.
A great job editing, master piece with content.
Thank you for this!
what wonderful memories
Tip on how to watch this in sync: Duplicate the page, turn off the sound, and be about 4 seconds ahead.
It's interesting to me watching this how much baseball really is a team game. Great teams needed great players, but the best player did not always win--Babe Ruth only won four World Series with the Yankees in the 14 years that he played there. Generally great teams rallied around their pivotal players to produce the winning combination for that year.
Ruth did win the World Series in 3 out of the five years he played for the Boston Red Sox.
Only won 4
@@michaeld2946 Ruth was on a World Series winning team 7 times
4 in New York and 3 in Boston.
i
sir stephen I meant only 4 on the Yankees and it was sarcasm in response to Jonathan C
Only 4 ,is that all ? Yes,a team sport in it's unique way but individual clutch hitting is what separates it from other "team sports".
Brilliant, absolut, Pure Joy. Love this post. Go stros!!!
I believe the sound difference was meant to be. Everything happens for a reason. I’m learning a new skill. Bedtime should be called ‘Time travel’. I enjoy travelling for 8 hrs, 4 hrs and my favourite 15 mins.
History is amazing even though as a phillies fan all we got is 2 but still history regardless. Love this stuff. Thanks for the video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can you please re-upload this great documentary????most appreciated 👏🙏 GREETINGS FROM BRUSSELS BELGIUM
Wow, great video 💯💯
There is a DVD just like this one at the Pawtucket , Rhode Island library.
Every single player pre 1960 looks like he’s in his mid 50’s
Damn, I wanted to see the Red Sox breaking of the Curse of the Bambino in 04
As a Yankee fan I’m good lol
1991 Twins-Braves is still the greatest series of all.
That ole ck swing conclusion to it but you had to root for both, I was. Hell of a battle. Wanted both but Now Dodgers have it going. What pitching. Awesome game Ruff ruff.
I'm watching this at 5:00am and can't pause it....damn covid b.s.
You're blaming COVID? Are you responsible for Anything in your life?
Really enjoyed this!
Good stuff thanks.
2008 Phillies
AS ALWAYS, great job bob
17:30 ironically 100 years later a Bay Area match up, how time change?
This needs to be watched without sound.
The music drowns out whatever is said.
Rest in ☮️ Frank De Ford.
amazing video. especially for baseball historians.
Nothing comes close to 1960, 7th game, bottom of the 9th, walk off winning home run, Bill Mazeroski, Pirates over Mickey Mantle and the Yankees
Nothing is in sync. Too bad. This should be an excellent video.
i feel your pain. i did blow it
Great video. Is something similar for college football and other sports? Was this originally done by MLB or who made this originally?
THE ONLY WORLD SERIES KING WORTH MENTIONING IS MARCUS JEROME MILES BOSTON RED SOX BABY FACED GAMBINO 8 TIME WORLD SERIES MVP
Rob Manfred is trying to ruin this game.
How?

Great upload... Anyone else think of the 1930's as a bit "meh" for MLB in terms of a shortage of personalities and characters? Even the "dead ball" era pre-1920 had Cobb, Mathewson, "Three-fingers" Brown, Wagner, et al. Then, the 1940's had the great MVP debate between Joltin' Joe and Ted Williams, and Musial tearing it up in the National League - and I'm sure I'm blanking momentarily on other "biggies" of that decade.
Gehrig played during the entire decade and DiMaggio played 4 years in the 30s, yet they both are associated with other decades. Dizzy Dean and the gas house gang comes to mind, then you had Carl Hubble and his 5 strikeouts in the all star game. but it was during the great depression, people weren't in the best moods. the 20s, 40s and onward into the early 70s were boom times, with the country celebrating people and events more enthusiastically. it's just a thought though.
It's just you.
By far the worst ERA was 1942-1944, most of the great players were overseas, and then teams were lame.
@@sportsrevisited9699 I was going to bring up Gehrig as an 'exception' but I didn't want to drone on too long. But Dizzy and the Gang HAD slipped my mind at the moment. oops.
@@josecarranza7555 It's just you. What-ever. I was talking "decades", not three year aberrations...
@@sportsrevisited9699 Just looked up DiMaggio's stats. I figured his first few years were "warming-up" years, but wow, he was on fire from the get-go! Also, Hack Wilson fascinates me with his tragic story and incredible 1930 season - but that season was about it for his 1930's contributions, unfortunately..
Wow, the Chicago Cubs, the class and top of the National League. What the hell happened in 100 years? Oh yeah, blame Bartman, who's only sin was trying to keep to himself, watch his first game with a sea of arms goes up so he does the same yet the city to include the Media turns him into the reasons why the Cubs has sucked. It wasn't because the Cubs panicked and lost concentration. It would be hilarious if the Cubs didn't win another championship until year 2100.
I live in Chicago and I the Cubs but if what you say come to pass by 2100 the Series may be played on Mars.
When this first came out in 2003 the Yankees had won over a quarter the the World Series.
Please, for goodness sake, what is the name of the song @32:00?
I have loved this song for years and have heard it across many sports docs. I love baseball and sports and just want to listen to it lol.
Super Doc but very unfortunate the unsynchronized image and sound from the middle until the end becomes really difficult to follow!!!! otherwise I really appreciate the documentary, insightful and rich!Bob Costas does really a good job but for the fan of baseball that I am,can you please help me to restore the problem??most appreciated, greetings from Brussels Belgium!!!!!
Good subject....but the sound track is off, and seemingly gets worse at the video goes on.
yeah..gets on your nerves after a while.
Not seemingly...the sound picks up speed until it's maybe 10 seconds off by the end.
ah, the good ol days before there were Nike swoosh logos ruining the jerseys
Oh man...
Over nearly 145 years of professional baseball, no player was tougher to strike out than Hall of Fame shortstop Joe Sewell.
In 7,132 career at-bats, Sewell heard the umpire say “Strike three” just 114 times. That’s one strikeout for every 63 at-bats, or once every 17 games, or in just .014 percent of his total times at the plate.
Hall of Fame slugger Babe Ruth, whose power at the plate became synonymous with baseball during the time he and Sewell played, racked up nearly 12 times more punchouts in the big leagues.
“I never had trouble seeing the ball,” said Sewell, who often claimed he could see the spiraling seams on a baseball. “That’s because I followed it in. Why, I could even see the ball leave my bat.”
So it was more than a noteworthy occurrence when on May 13, 1923, Joe Sewell struck out twice in one game for the first time in his career. In truth, it was more like an historical aberration.
As an American League star in the 1920s and 1930s, Sewell regularly faced some of the best hurlers the game had ever seen, including Hall of Fame names like Red Faber, Waite Hoyt, Walter Johnson, and Herb Pennock. In 96 matchups, Hall of Famer Lefty Grove - he of 2,266 career strikeouts - could never reach strike three on Sewell, prompting him to call the shortstop the toughest batter he ever faced.
So with those impressive hurlers in mind, “Who was the first pitcher to strike out Joe Sewell twice in a game?” might make for one of the better trivia questions in baseball history. That’s because the answer is rookie Cy “Wally” Warmoth, who was making just his sixth career start when the Washington Senators traveled to Cleveland’s Dunn Field to face Sewell’s Indians.
By May 1923, Warmoth did have a couple wins against the Yankees under his belt, but few could have predicted that he would be the first to send Sewell back to the dugout twice. Though there is little anecdotal evidence from the game, a New York Times box score shows the lefty Warmoth collecting four strikeouts that day, but also issuing nine walks and losing to Cleveland by a 5-2 score.
very interesting, thank you. I wonder what Wade Boggs numbers are, I remember him being a tough out.
Great stuff. Go DODGERS!
Imagine coming back from a 3 to 1 deficit to win it all
I was surprised that they missed the date of the jackrabbit ball in December 1920, which ended the dead ball era.
Heavy..
Ps Peace to Bob Gibson

you don’t get Great nicknames like that anymore.
The BiG RED MACHiNE
Is the last Great Team NickName I can think of off hand.
Asterisk’s are fitting but it’s not a great 1 not their official name for being Great.
Unless it’s for being Great @ cheating then I give them that. 😉 😏
or the trashstros
hot dog water 😃😆😄
ThA MAN C MAcK
WAMCO
‘92 Jays nickname for a batting order of White, Alomar, Molitor, Carter and Olerud
Martin Arnold WAMCO
That’s hella lame.
Why would you even think to mention that in the same breath? Yeesh
Now that’s a dope line up and those 92 & 93 Jays were awesome teams with Winfield & Rickey & Maulitor being added to the core players and that staff but that’s the lamest Nickname ever.
The Diamondbacks shouldn’t have brought that closer in again
Joe g back in the house They are so much fun to watch
Never mind all the best games best players for one moment in time one subpar player who for what ever reason his mgr gave him the nod and in 1987 game 4 Tom '0 for the season' Lawless pinch hits a punching judy liner and stares at the hit before taking several walking steps towards first ...before he realized the ball actually cleared the fence and then with out taking his eye off the ball flipped his bat in the most iconic bat flip ever. This was the loudest sound i have ever heard the croud reaction when that ball on a line drive ricochet back on to the field
about 2 feet above the line
To realise it was different era. With players who could play on 2 days rest. Players today have it really too easy🌿🙉🙊🙈
I love this, but the soundtrack is totally off the video.
