The CRAZIEST DRAMA Between The NFL and The World Series
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Tonight, the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros will play in game 5 of the 2022 World Series at the same exact time that the Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans are facing off against each other on Thursday Night Football. But what you might not realize is that as crazy as this is, this isn't entirely uncharted territory. Because in 1986, game seven of the 1986 World Series between the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox took place at the same exact time, just 20 miles away, as a New York Giants Monday Night Football game on ABC against the Washington Redskins. And what followed was nothing short of chaos, especially with regards to fan behavior. This is the story behind the 1986 World Series and the conflict with the NFL

Wow, never watched that whole 10th inning. Bill Buckner got a lot of blame for that loss but it sure looked like the Red Sox pitching had pretty much lost them the game already.
How to mature as a baseball fan: watch the full bot 10 of the 1986 WS and the full top 8 of the 2003 NLCS
If you want to know the whole context about Buckner's situation, watch Rewinder for Game 6 on that World Series with Secret Base.
Calvin Shiraldi and Bob Stanley blew that game. Fun Fact: Keith Hernandez was so convinced the Mets were going to lose that he went into the Mets clubhouse, popped a beer, lit up a cigarette, and sat to watch the finish of the game.
@@Rockhound6165 And once the rally started, Mex didn’t move from that spot, utterly convinced that his being there was working.
their bullpen had been terrible all year, with only an elite starting staff saving them from missing the playoffs (doesn't matter if you use advanced stats or old school ones, save for schiraldi the rest of the pen stunk, and even then, schiraldi only pitched 25 games, 50 innings that season).
Theismann's leg injury wasn't a few years before this game. It was actually the year prior (1985).
I saw 7 likes; I wasn't going to change the like counter because of Joe Theismann's number *7* uniform. I'll let another do that.
I watched that game. As I remember, Taylor made a clean hit on Theismann. He was very upset about breaking his leg.
I remember that play and have always tried not to watch a replay of it. The Oscar-winning movie "The Blindside" opens with the Taylor hit on Theismann. A clean sack but tough to watch.
I remember being a kid and watching that game (November 18,1985). To this day,I can't watch that play

20:50... "Here's how the moment sounded, just 18 miles away..." Nice to have Darryl Strawberry's number *18* showing at that particular point.
What a great sequence that is to watch all these years later. God, I miss that MNF crew: Frank (a former co-tenant at Yankee Stadium as a Giant) and Al (fresh off a memorable call of the Dave Henderson homer in the AL Playoffs) are totally respective of the remarkable baseball moment that’s taking place nearby.
The Giants went on to debut in their first super bowl several months later in January 1987. They humiliated the Broncos 39-20, winning their first championship in approximately 30 years. The Giants and Broncos played against each other at some point this same regular season, you should do a video covering that game.
in that reg season game, #75 George Martin intercepted Elway, took it BARELY to the house for his 5th career TD as a Def. Tackle. I say barely, because the only person to tackle #75 was #56, wearing Blue as well (LT), right as he crossed the plane
@The LIM Report i don't think the Texas are going to the Super Bowl though haha
@@marz2one How George Martin is not in the HOF still floors me.
@@chadgradsphere7648 indeed... I think he's still the NFLs all time leader in PICK 6s for a D lineman... He was ahead of his time and parcells def got great years from him 84-86
@@andrewpestotnik5495 he said us buddy
Fun fact five years to the day of this game a giants redskins Sunday night game went up against game 7 of the twins and the Braves World Series a game many baseball people consider the best in history
Yeah, unfortunately, just, like, with, Toronto, two years, later, the, winner, was, immediately, swallowed whole, by, economics, while, the, loser, would stay competitive, for, far longer.
Absolutely fantastic video. I remember all of this so well, exactly as it happened. You did an awesome job laying this story out. Truly great story-telling.
He does so well with that! I like how he keeps a consistent tone throughout the vid. I really don't like when i have to adjust my volume like every 5 mins lol
Also this video is the longest one yet.
Earlier this year I went to a Mets game but it was coinciding with a Rangers playoff game. I along with many of the other fans at the stadium were more focused on the Rangers game, watching it on our phones and/or tablets. It was a big game because the Rangers were facing the Penguins in Game 6 and needed to force Game 7. When took the lead in the final period, it felt like half the stadium erupted for hockey. We started a "Let's Go Rangers" chant for most of the inning.
1986 the year my fav baseball team won the World Series and my fav football won super bowl 21 Go Mets Go Giants
@@danielkurlan182 Linger longer!
I get it, but I feel bad for the Mets being outshone at their own game by another sport.
I think Mets/Giants is much more common than you would think. Speaking from experience as one. But I think these two teams specifically ('86 Mets and '86 Giants) are a big reason why that is a popular combination. That's how David Wright became a fan of both teams. Not to mention you share two divisional rivals in Washington and Philly. Whereas the Yankees/Jets share a huge rival in Boston/New England.
It's it really
The crazy thing is:
Most Yankees fans I know are New York Giants fans. Most Mets fans are Jets fans. Comedian Kevin James is one of those famous people from New York who was A Jets fan and a Mets fan to the point that he would wear his Mets and or Jets gear on episodes of "King of Queens"
Mets/Jets and Yankees/Giants are still the majority combo. Mets and Jets also shared Shea Stadium for 20 years
He is right, though, that all Yankees fans are rooting against whoever is playing against the Red Sox.
@@arthurcooperman3106 And the Giants played at Yankee Stadium for 20+ years as well. But again I never said that combo of Mets/Giants was the majority, just more commonly than one would think.
Ironic thing about the so-called "Curse of the Bambino" is that it wasn't considered a thing at all until Peter Vescey briefly wrote after this series how the Red Sox had still never won the World Series since Babe Ruth and then Dan Schaugnessey wrote a whole book about it four years later.
Mets are the ones that are now cursed. Haven't won a World Series title since.
I was 17, Die hard Giants & Mets fan. Took the small 21” tv from my bedroom & put it on top of the big TV (whopping 31 inches in a wood cabinet) in the family room. Picked up an extra long coaxial cable from radio shack to run the cable signal from the living room. Watched both games at the same time With my younger brother. During commercials in the WS would switch channels on both TVs would watch giants on the big tv. We still laugh about it occasionally.
Historically NYC has been a national league town, so the Mets going to the World Series in 86 was a big deal. Most of the time an expansion team wouldn't be able to compete for popularity with a franchise like the Yankees, but in NYC the town is split probably 49-51% in favor of the Yankees. NYC is still more of a baseball town.
Wow great video. I was a senior at Maryland and a Redskins fan and my best pal whose house I lived in was from NY and has always rooted for the NY teams. Remember all of this like yesterday and yes we were flipping the TV.. and the NFL game was great. I’d love to go back in time to see it again!!!
Yeah, speaking of which, the 1986 Giants, probably, would have destroyed the Bears, but, they'd better send, Christmas Cards, to your guys, forever, since, they prevented the confrontation from happening.
@@matthewdaley746 just as and far more so we should send Christmas Cards to the 1987 Vikings for knocking out a far superior 49ers team, and then losing to us in the NFC championship. Forever grateful, where I agree the Giants would have knocked out the poorly quarterbacked Bears in 1986.
@@davidfiddleman2312 You don't know the half of it, many fans hadn't forgiven Joe Gibbs, for, Rocket Screen, (and, many still haven't), they, were, calling, for, his head, and, JKC, gives it to them, were, it, not, for, "The, Drop," which explains why Joe Gibbs is pathetically undignified on his knees on the sidelines, like, a, condemned man, just, before, the play.
Ahh man this reminds of game 7 of the 1991 world series. That game was played the same night as the redskins vs giants. Washington was 7-0 and this was the 1st time the braves had done anything like this in a long time. And as a fan of both it was a conflict. And by how both games turned out didn’t help much either. Washington down 13-0 at the half.and looking intimidated. And the world series going scoreless into extra innings. Ahh man
Joe Theismann famously said this: “Stay with us, folks. Nothing will happen in the World Series until at least the seventh inning”
Lonnie Smith just stopped running
That was your BEST video ever! I totally forgot game 7 was on Monday.
21:02.. Lawrence Taylor is clearly a Red Sox fan
Lucky it wasn’t an odd year, because ABC would have had to decide on showing Game 7 or Monday Night Football. And they didn’t have an agreement with ESPN back then. They dodged a bullet
Oh man, that’s a really good point. Imagine it raining in Kansas City in 1985 and then Minnesota luckily had a dome. 😮
Or play the World Series game during the afternoon.
Both WABC-TV (channel 7) and WNBC-TV (channel 4) did carried two different games at the same time. One is “Monday Night Football”, and the other was game 7 of the “World Series” with the Mets and the Red Sox. Why did they bother on channel flipping and see what game you are playing, either football or baseball.
As Giants/Mets fan I’ve always heard about the MNF game played on Game 7 of the 1986 WS. Never saw highlights until this clip.
Wild. As a season ticket holder for the Giants and partial season ticket holder for the Mets, this would create quite the problem if this should ever happen again. (Which it wouldn’t.) lol
You showed Vin Scully at the beginning of this video. This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about Scully calling a Dodgers game while he was at a Rams game calling that in 1980.
Exactly what I was thinking! Unusual crowd noise and all. Definitely a huge parallel
@@georgebernard5783 If you only posted about it you could have been the first new member of the Faculty Lounge since I named the building after Larry Cipa! Watch this video for details:
ruclips.net/video/ibpqbpuwgGA/видео.html
I knew it one day you were gonna talk about this I remember my father told me about this a long time ago.
If Vin Scully was calling the Series, a radio was all that was needed.
@The LIM Report This unofficial JaguarGator9 historian will remind you that he's done a video in which Scully ended up calling the final game of the 1980 MLB regular season between the Dodgers and Astros while he was commentating on that week's NFL game between the Rams and 49ers.
You should cover the person who was drafted before Jerry Rice, Eric Barton he had a interesting career
Ethan Horton was drafted one pick before Rice. However. Eric Barton’s father was an assistant principal at my high school. ( and former nfl db for the lions) and also the father of a hometown kid named Aaron Curry. (Yes that Aaron Curry.
@@markphelt6395 yeah I meant Horton
Considering that the Texans will likely get dominated, I'd be willing to bet that the World Series wins this rating battle.
@The LIM Report Actually, the Phillies will be on WPHL (My Network/Ch. 17) tonight. They would have normally been on WTXF (Fox/Ch. 29) but for the World Series. Houston coverage is on KTXH (My Network/Ch. 20). All Amazon games are must carry in the local area of the teams involved from what I know...
Born in 1980 in NY. Being a Mets and Giants fan isn't rare for people around my age watching those 2 teams at an early age.
i really enjoyed watching this documentary, thanks for posting it !
As a Yankees/Jets fan I actually have some friends from back home who are Giants/Mets fans. I'll be sure to send them this video. :)
As a life-long Mets and Giants fan, I found this fascinating--it was something I'd never heard about. (I did want to point out one small error at 8:09: "Seeing as Interleague play wasn't a thing... so the Yankees and Mets had never played each other." Actually, the two teams had played each other since 1963 in the Mayor's Trophy Game, an in-season exhibition game that raised money for charity as well as gave the winner unofficial city bragging rights. The game had previously been played amongst the Brooklyn Dodgers/New York (baseball) Giants/Yankees before the Dodgers and Giants headed west. The Mets/Yankees contests continued until 1983.)
Those Mayor's Trophy Games between the Mets and Yankees were glorified preseason Major League Baseball contests, as was the Mets-Red Sox exhibition game in September 1986. It was a, as it was, a super sized preseason game.
@@martincruz8319 The Mayor's Trophy Games were played during the regular season, not during preseason.
@@martincruz8319 And that September 1986 Exhibition between the Mets and Red Sox was highly anticipated as it turned out to be a preview of the World Series. That was not your normal exhibition game.
Imagine being a Mets and Giants fan switching between these games that day.
The traffic that night had to be insane...
What's wild about tonight's pair of games and the one in 1986 is that Al Michaels called both football games. Not only that, but 1986 was Michaels first year of calling Monday Night Football for ABC, and 2022 is his first year of calling Thursday Night Football for Amazon.
Would have been even wilder if he was still doing his Reds gig in '75, thus would have done Game 2 of Reds/Red Sox. He did however do Falcons/Niners on CBS that day.
@@mgb4692 I'm impressed with your memory. Unfortunately, that's not quite true, Game 2 was in Boston, and the local announcers got on national TV only for home games, so Michaels would have done Games 3-5. Maybe he would have done a Bengals game that Sunday.
Oh yeah that's right. Dick Stockton (who was the Red Sox local PBP, and thus became the first to do play by play on all four networks) was there for 1, 2, 6, and 7--including the Fisk home run.
Who were the Bengals hosting at Riverfront? The Patriots of course. I think cause of the markets that might not have been televised, which would make it the last Sunday game to this day that wasn't.
@@mgb4692 Amazing. I found the highlights to that game on Facebook. Don't know if the video was from a TV broadcast or from NFL Films.
Was at the Giants game...never saw so many portable B&W TVs in one place in my life....
Shea Stadium in 1975 had Mets, Jets, Giants, and Yankees play in occupancy for one season. Make a video about the madness. I’ll wait
As a fan of both teams I love watching this Giants game. So glad you did a video on this
At least the Eagles weren't hosting the Texans this week. Imagine the aboslute chaos that would have resulted had both the Eagles been home and the Phillies hosting Game 5 tonight.
I have no idea what would have happened in that scenario.
I've been at a few like this tho none near that scale
Closest I think we've ever gotten to this since was when Bin Laden was killed and crowds EVERYWHERE started cheering at random
One of the games would have to be postponed to the next night, the stadiums are in the same parking lot
@@garydizzine I've been to that complex so I know how the parking lot is laid out.
I have no idea who would blink and postpone their game though. I guess it would have to be MLB since postponing an NFL game in the middle of the season would screw up travel and practice plans for both teams.
@@lightsabermetrics I think the football game would have been postponed. It gives the teams an extra day of rest and enough time off before the next game. I know the NFL doesn’t like to play on Friday or Saturday but that might have been the easiest thing to do
Buckner gets too much flack for choking. Game was already tied. The fact that the Sox blew a 2-run lead with one out left is the real choke job
Yup. Old enough to watch it that infamous Red Sox meltdown in the 1986 WS live on TV.
I remember this as someone (along w/ my younger brother) getting upset at my dad who wanted to watch the NFL instead of the World Series. We thought he was nuts; he subsequently left in a huff & in a sense we got what we wanted. Mom made us apologize to Dad for getting him upset. & we didn't even live in NYC. We were 3k+ miles away in Phoenix.
I do remember that night, and the conflict is/was over-stated:
lots of Giants fans were/are Yankees fans and couldn't care less about the Mets.
lots of Mets fans were/are Jets fans.
We need a Giants VS Eagles Game next season on MNF during the World Series
I thought JG09 was going to say Welcome to Dumb Decisions with Red Sox on that intro
Before we break down what happened here, this whole series is about taking an in-depth look at decisions made by major league baseball managers that were clearly awful from the start. This wasn't something that looked bad in hindsight. Rather, this is something that looked awful almost IMMEDIATELY. These are moves in which your gut instinct tells you there is NO WAY this is going to work, and sure enough, your gut instinct was smarter than that of an MLB manager. And for this one, we're taking a look into the mind of Boston Red Sox manager John McNamara.
Giants/Mets fan here... This is one of the few JG9 stories I've actually heard about.
I watched the 86 Giants game and I thought it was crazy how they were playing at the same time.
and even without watching this, a good one for the future could be how close did the 1984 World series come close to messing up an entire NFL schedule (the possibility of a Cubs-Tigers world series and the lack of lights at the time at Wrigley Field)
It's funny you mentioned the parallels between 1986 and 2022 because the Mets won the World Series and the Giants went on to win the Super Bowl whereas the Phillies lost the World Series and the Eagles went on to lose the Super Bowl. Completely opposite outcomes in the end.
Love the Seahawks reference! That must have been the strangest Monday Night Football game ever!
My wife and I had a partial season ticket plan for the Mets in 1986 and we are also NY Giants fans. We saw the Mets win game 3 of the NLCS 6-5 in walk off fashion; lose game 1 of the WS 1-0 and win game 7 of the WS coming from behind to win 8-5. For us there was no doubt that baseball was a higher priority than football on that night. Still, I had no idea that the crowd in the Meadowlands was so involved in the World Series that it impacted the football game. Thankfully the Giants had a championship run of their own and took down the Broncos 39-20 in the Super Bowl. Best year ever for my teams. Closest comparison for me was in 1980 watching the US Olympic team win the gold medal in hockey followed by the Islanders winning their first Stanley Cup a few months later.
The latter had a player who won a gold medal and the Cup in a three month span-Ken Morrow.
If you're a Philly fan. I think you watch Game 5 and stream the Eagles game. Or just go to a bar
Or you set up two TV's in the same room.
There was someone who I know that had tickets to Game 7 and the MNF game and he would've went to both but as it turned out. Game 7 was rained out and had to be postponed to Monday. So he without hesitation choose to go to Game 7 and gave the ticket to his neighbor.
i moved from bergen county NJ a year after and yes, I am still a giants and mets fan, thanks
They did play in the Mayor's Trophy Game in the 60's.
People had portable radios back then. You could LISTEN to the events of the other game while at one of them.
Interesting video. These two games that took place on that day the Mets won the World Series in game 7 and the Giants was interrupting the game where Mets fans went nuts.
I went through research and I found out that the original VHS release of the original “My Little Pony: The Movie” came out the day after the World Series ended and the Mets were the World Champions at the time.
When “My Little Pony: The Movie” hit the video stores, fans were still celebrated on the Mets victory.
I can't imagine either Houston or Philadelphia fans would rather watch the Eagles destroy the Texans over a hype charged World Series game between the 'Stros and Phills.
Turns out the Texans/Eagles game wasn't a blow out. Still the Phills/Astros game was the better pick.
Football’s bigger in both regions.
I watched it live and still can't believe it.
The Boston Red Sox were one strike away from losing the American Pennant and one strike away from winning the World Series......and did neither one.
You should make a video about the 1997 conflict between the World Series and the Bears Dolphins game. Part of the reason I suggested that is that the Bears play this weekend
There was also a conflict in 1987. The Broncos-Vikings game had to be moved to Monday night because the Twins were in the World Series against the Cardinals. It aired only in Denver and Minnesota.
I remember this night in 1986. I watched the World Series and flipped occasionally to the football game. It was Game 7! of the World Series and the football game was a regular season game. It turned out to be a preview of the NFC Championship game but back then baseball was bigger than it is now. The one thing you would notice in the broadcasts is that they update what's going on in the other game. Watching both games in 2022 they mention the other game but never give updates. Al Michales gives a semi play by play at times because he knows how big a Game 7 was at the time. Fantasy football and gambling have made football king now. I personally had the World Series on the TV and had to watch the football game on my tablet in 2022.
I wonder how ABC would've handled the World Series/MNF overlap had they televised the Fall Classic in 1986.
I never thought about that but you made a very interesting point. While it isn't exactly comparable to 1986, the following year, when it was ABC's turn to broadcast the World Series, they ran into a problem when the 1987 series between Minnesota and St. Louis went to a decisive seventh game.
Game 7 of the 1987 World Series was played in the Metrodome in Minneapolis. This caused the scheduled Minnesota Vikings game against the Denver Broncos to be pushed the next night. ABC wound up broadcasting two NFL games simultaneously on October 26, 1987.
The game between the Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Rams was televised to about 85% of nation while the Minneapolis-St. Paul and Denver markets got the Vikings-Broncos game. Gary Bender did play-by-play for the Vikings-Broncos game with Lynn Swann.
I got to go to game 5 of the 2013 World Series at Busch stadium, that same night the rams had a Monday night game and were selling tix for $8
Its happen a few time I remember in 2016 granted it was a preseason the Chargers were playing the Cardinals at Qualcomm and just a couple miles at the same time the Padres and Diamondbacks were playing at Petco
8:00
Don’t be so sure of that. Sometimes certain fans would rather cheer a hated rival than cheer a different team from the same city.
My family and I are die hard SF Giants fans who despise the LA Dodgers. But my uncles always tell me that they rooted for the Dodgers in the 1988 World Series with the famous Kirk Gibson homer because they sure as hell would NEVER cheer for the Oakland Athletics. Because they hated both Oakland A’s and Raiders. I can only imagine how pissed they were the following Earthquake Series the following year, I wouldn’t know since I was only a year in 89.
😂
You could've made this from a football perspective and called it "How The Giants Almost Lost a Game Because The Mets Won The World Series"
Imagine if this happened to Pittsburgh.
PNC Park in Acrisure Stadium are half a mile away from each other.
Over 100k people would be on the North Shore for this. And it would be even more intense if the teams that Pittsburgh was playing against was Baltimore.
If that happened, one of the games would have to move dates (most likely the Steelers) to accommodate parking for both games
I was in Japan back then watching a taped delayed broadcast on AFRTN. (Armed Forces Radio & Television Network). What a heartbreaking loss for the Redsox. I think I lost $300 !! I never in a million years thought that the Mets would win the series. Damn you Mookie !!!
Al Michaels was the original "I'M CALLIN BOTH GAMES!"
Lol if they would have gone to the baseball game, mnf would have been blacked-out. 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine if the Giants were in the Super Bowl and some fans were at a Knicks game. Simms wouldn't be mad if the crowd at Madison Square Garden was cheering for the Giants. It's like the players had forgotten what it's like to be a fan. Most of us don't follow 1 team in a void. We like multiple sports.
This is a great video.
Wouldn’t it be wild if the Giants were playing the Pats that day?
And nowadays, football is king. You're not wrong, Jaguar.
And with the FIFA World Cup coming up in Qatar, (horrible decision to hold it in November/Early December)unless the US Soccer Team makes a deep run, in America the NFL will even beat easily in the TV ratings the most popular sport in the rest of the world.
@@americangiant1003 True. They decided to hold it in those months because that's when the average temperature in Qatar is at its lowest, supposedly. As for the US,they don't have it easy,being that they're in the same group as England and Iran- an underrated squad that the US has always had trouble against (and England is always England,even on their worst day. They're usually expected to beat teams like the US,but not much else). Rounding out the group is Wales,for whom it's still too early to tell
Oops, Marty Barrett, not Bennett.
"If you're a Giants fan, there's no doubt you're rooting for the Mets."
Homeboy has never spent time in NYC. Lol.
I was at the Giants game in 96 when the Yankees clinched the pennant. Everyone stayed after the game was over and watched on the big screen. It was pretty cool.
What would’ve happened if abc had both this game and a G7 back in the day, those network executives would’ve been like 😬😬😬
Ikr. They probably would've moved Football to ESPN. Pfft
Since ESPN did the pregame shows anyway they might as well have been the MNF backup, especially with them getting the NFL proper the next year.
Probably Game 7 would have been played Sunday night even if the conditions were atrocious. As I remember, the Maras and then-NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle were furious with MLB's quick postponement of Game 7, especially since it had stopped raining by the time it was postponed and never resumed raining. They likely would have made MLB play the game Sunday even if the field was in poor condition and very wet in the outfield. If it were deemed too dangerous to play Game 7 Sunday night, it probably would have been played Monday afternoon at 3:00 or delayed to Tuesday night.
2009
Yankees @ Phillies World Series
versus
Giants @ Eagles
That was insane! Both stadiums next to each other & tailgating was bananas
And when Joe Louis knocked out Billy Conn play was suspended at Forbes field while the fight was broadcast over the stadium pa.
Giants fans turned Giants Stadium into a giant watch party that had built-in entertainment if there was down time
Bennett? Barrett was the Red Sox second baseman who drove in the fifth Boston run in Game 6.
Best line from Al Michaels-"Simms wants quiet-good luck Phil" after Game 7 ended.
Final note to JG9-maybe it's time you expanded your horizons and added a baseball channel. Game 6 could be the first "Dumb Decisions" segment for such a channel deliniating the absolute wretched job of managing on BOTH parts as both McNamara and Johnson made one blunder after another (not sure who you root for in baseball so the name of such a channel isn't obvious). Davey, of course, got taken off the hook by winning but Johnny Mac took the scar of that game to his grave..even then, he doubled down on Clemens asking out of the game and calling Stapleton "Shaky" on his defense before his demise.
JG9 you read my mind..can’t wait for the JG7 channel.
One has to remember that baseball in New York City is always King, Czar, Emperor, Kaiser, President, Prime Minister, Absolute Dictator, Despot, Tyrant, El Caudillo and El Jefe, with all other sports taking a back seat.
And Al Michaels will call the football game tonight just like he did back in 1986…so if the Houston fans randomly cheer when they turn the ball over, they’ll already know!
RIP Vin Scully and Bill Buckner
Following the 1986 season, the Giants had a video "Giants Among Men" narrated by Pat Sumerall. During the recap of that game, he mistakenly said, "The Mets defeated the Astros to win the World Series."
He *was* right, he was just talking about separate events
13:24 We had a black and white TV We could plug in next to the color TV
This reminds me of May 14 1994 where my dad was watch the Cleveland Indians on Sportchannel Ohio where me and my mom was watching the Cleveland Crunch was playing the St Loujs Ambush for game 4 of a first to 3 series, Cleveland up 2 games to 1 after bring blown out on the road and then stealing a game from the Ambush. Game 3 the Crunch won a blowout, and Game 4 was probably the biggest game in Cleveland ever, first championship game played in Cleveland since the 1964 Browns., and to see it you had to see it live.
Dad told me there funny moments in the Indians game where the overflow crowd walked to the Jake and took their AM radios tuned to 1420 AM WHK, a dinky little local station.
Dad told me there were some funny disconnect moments at that game where you had a split crowd, half focus on the Tribe action and half with their ears on the Convo.
Dad said the funniest thing happened on a routine play not favoring the Tribe.... Hector Marinaro scored the championship winning goal in sudden death.
I know your primary focus is NFL Football, so a convergence of MLB and NPSL is not exactly on your sports GPS. But look it up.
Cleveland Crunch 🤣
@@abathens when you haven't had a pro championship since before you were born, the Crunch seemed like something. I admit outside the small cliques within the few indoor soccer cities I'd get that reaction, but it was the right team at the right time. If you don't count Crunch teams, the next championship was the 2016 Cavs. 3 championships in 6 years was the greatest NPSL dynasty. (Outside of the Canton Invaders but the Crunch and Invaders were in different leagues until the 90s. The Canton Invaders had to move to Columbus because this encroachment.)
@@jackofallgamesTV I hear you my man. I'm an Atlanta sports fan, and we are on par with Cleveland when it comes to lack of championships. However, our professional lacrosse team the Georgia Swarm won the 2017 NLL championship in just their 2nd year🥍
@@abathens I think the one year you got your championship was against my Indians in 1995. The Braves had many playoff seasons around that time but only one Championship. I don't think the Hawks ever won. The Falcons i believe were once one step away. Never heard the Thrashers get deep in the playoffs, but then again Cleveland is not an NHL town so that on the mice type back page of sports.
I actually remember watching this live with my dad when I was a kid shit was crazy he wasn’t a Mets fan but he wanted the Mets to win but he was a die-hard giants fan and he watched his favorite player LT play that game he hated all the penalties on both sides because of the crowd and weird reactions happening during play lol damn I miss my pops
No one:
NFL: 1:00 p.m. on Sunday
It was close to happening on Nov 1st 2009 when the Eagles hosted the Giants then later that evening the Phillies hosted the Yankees in game 4 of the World Series.
The eagles and Phillies played on the same day in the same city and a majority of Phillies fans watched it on local tv as well as flipping between the eagles games on tv too. Viewers outside the eagles and Texans area watched it on prime video
Wasn't the same city. Eagles were on the road
Just saying - I'm a Red Sox fan. I know a guy who's a Mets fan. And he said to me once, "You know - I love you Red Sox fans. You're the only people who hate the Yankees as much as I do!"
And this was before interleague really became a big thing.
Mets, are, still the last team to, beat, the Red Sox, in, a, World Series, even, though, they, lost, the, 1988 NLCS, to a Dodgers team, which, wasn't, much better.
As a Mets fan, I personally don’t dislike the Yankees nearly as much as I hate the Braves
@@georgebernard5783 That may be correct, but, given the option of them, or, the Astros, winning, the, World Series, the Braves, were, truly, The, Lesser Of Two Evils.
"I definitely wasn't the happiest guy out there" -- Definitely the happiest guy out there, judging by his words compared to the words of the other players, who were all far more pissed than he was.
Don't forget that we have services like NFL+ that lets u watch p much any NFL games ever after they're over, and Thursday night football is on Amazon Prime and I'm Pretty sure you can rewind the fball game if it hasn't been too long I think
This was a very good video. I know very little about football and the NFL but still enjoyed it.
God that lady that was doing the false start signal while Boston was pitching got on my nerves...
Great comparison of these 2 TV events.
Me and my dad saw the entired Game 7 think I saw the MNF only the last 5 minutes of the 3rd cause it was past my bedtime
How did he know the garage band would sell more tickets then Taylor Swift? 😝
Once Upon A Time In Queens brought me here sort of
As Yankee/Giant fan, I was watching football that night.
Not even a choice for me as a Yankees/Giants fan. Who needed to see a Dead Sox -Mets world series? Not I. Now I would absolutely root for the Mets but back then Mets fans were obnoxious because they had the city for a few years and acted insufferable. I didn't hate the Sox the same back then as it was before they started acting like a rival and beating the Yankees. they were like a little brother whom you felt sorry for. Now they're over arrogant.
Monday Night Football needs to be on ABC again
Actually Rusty some MNF games in this new NFL TV contract are already simulcast on both ABC and ESPN in this current '22 season. Plus a couple of Super Bowls in the next 10 years will be on ABC/ESPN.
My dad is a lifelong Yankees fan. He was rooting for the Red Sox. Because those Mets teams were so easy to hate, ESPECIALLY if you were a Yankees fan.
Wow, that's interesting. Two hated opponents. That's a little surprising, being that the Red Sox were a regular opponent. I came up in Virginia, near the Norfolk area. I'm a was and still am, a Yankee's fan. I pulled for the Mets, because their triple a affiliates (Tidewater Tides) were nearby. I didn't know about the Mets/Yankees animosity, until I moved to NYC a few years ago.
Back when baseball was exciting! If 1986 has the same playoff set up as today the Mets may have lost in a division series to the 2nd place Phillies.
Theisman's injury was less than a calendar year prior to this game, actually
Also with this year Game 5 was in Philly in the World Series and Houston Texans hosted Philly in the Thursday night game.
