Small bit of fact-checking, hope you all enjoyed the vid! * Phillies didn't win the World Series in 2009, rather the pennant * The Giants ended a 56 year drought by winning in 2010, not 54 years.
The fact that Tim Lincecum and Barry Bonds’ careers overlapped is a fact that never occurred to me and kinda blows my mind. I just think of them so separately in my mind. It feels like worlds colliding to know they were on the same team at one point.
Bryce Poston I feel that. To me Bonds is a product of the 90s but his 2 most dominant seasons were both in the 2000s and obviously he broke the record in 07. Weird as
Dogboy Gacha also now that I revisit this comment what do you mean lmao he still had an OPS over 1.000 and got on base 48% of the time... still lead the league in walks, IBB and OBP...
@@pyramiiiiiiiid After Vast Voluptuous would come Winsomely Widening. Good luck to anyone who has to come up with the ZZ one (oh wait... that just solved it... ZZ Topps!).
This is without a doubt my favorite video of yours. Tim Lincecum will forever be my favorite baseball player of all time. As a kid, he inspired me to continue playing ball. He was short like me and had the same long hair. I had the unique pleasure to meet Tim when I was freshman in high school and I told him he was my favorite player and that my dream was to play against him one day. Four years later, I met him again at the University of Washington, where I had become a student-athlete on the baseball team. A couple years after that, my dream practically came true when I got to face Tim in live ABs at Driveline Baseball. Tim will forever be my inspiration when it comes to baseball. Thanks for this video Foolish, you've made my day
@Braxton Kuker Cy Youngs mean nothing. Awards are meaningless because they are so often given to the wrong players. He's worth like 35 less wins than he needs to be to have a good shot at getting into the Hall of Fame.
I remember that Sports Illustrated story about his delivery; the torque he got from twisting back, then striding forward almost 7 feet was insane, we’ll never see anything like it
Thinking about Tulo as a Rockies fan gives me mixed emotions. Part of me is sad because of how he exited the team and later the league, but part of me feels warm inside for how he affected my childhood as one of my favorite players. Him, Helton, Holliday, Cargo, everyone in the Rocktober run, were the people who made baseball my favorite sport for my early life. I'll never forget Tulo.
I'll forever remember Tulo for hitting a line drive straight to Jose Fernandez and Jose catching it like it was nothing with Tulo going, "Did you catch that?"
When I started watching baseball, Tim was in his prime Quickly he became my favorite player Nice to remember how fun was watching him to play SF - LA rivalry had a "boom" with Lincecum and Kershaw in the same generation Wow Wow Wow And again Wow
Its a shame his violent motion due to his short frame heavily shortened his career and dominance....but it's also what made him fun to watch even when the Giants were medicore as a team...he was their star for 3 years and I loved watching him pitch even though I wasn't into baseball
My favorite non pitching Lincecum related thing was how back in 2010 in high school, I had a friend that didn't care for baseball but was super into weed. The 2010 post season was going on and I loved talking to him about how the star pitcher for the team in the world series was a pothead. Good memories.
I stopped watching the MLB in 2010 and started really getting into RUclips videos about the sport recently. When I found out what happened with Lincecum’s career, my jaw dropped. The dude was absolutely running the sport when I had stopped watching.
its insane how tim lincecum went from being one of the greatest starting pitchers in baseball history to a liability in a matter of 4 years edit: watched the video, feel like a goofus
8:40 this was not the first Giants World Series Win in 54 years, but the first since 1954, or the first in 56 years. Aside from that little nitpick, great video!
Foolish Baseball I can absolutely see that being a really easy mistake to make, I actually had to check to make sure that I wasn’t the one that was wrong.
Lincecum is probably my favorite pitcher of all time. He dominated and won it all for my hometown team, he was a quirky and relatable guy who seemed to embody the spirit and style of the fandom, and did all that while being one of the most unique players of his position. Grateful I got to watch Timmy smoke the league for a bunch of seasons.
My favorite pitcher and favorite position player of that era. I had such a massive man-crush on Tulo. I got to see him hit two homeruns in one game against the Giants at Coors Field. I miss him dearly.
Great video. I was there at the game when Tulo debuted with the Jays. His home run during his first plate appearance with the team was such a shot of adrenaline. He might not have been early 200s Tulo, but he was still a giant of a player to have on the team, and a wonderful shortstop down that 2015 stretch that gave Blue Jays fans so much to be happy about.
He was like the opposite of Randy Johnson frame wise but had the same control and impact I feel albeit for a shorter time...he was scary for hitters to face
Hey dude, just wanted to say that I adored the way that this video focused on all the positives of these two icons careers - much of the baseball world tends to just go "yeah, they were great but what if ____ etc etc. As a giants fan growing up (and still one today) I've come to realize that while Timmy was truly incredible and we unfortunately didn't get to see him as long as so many of us wanted to, it's a privilege that we were taking along on the ride in the first place and got to witness such a wild feat of a 155lb kid pitching in the majors. Anyway, great video, and I'll forever look back on this era with fondness!
2011 Tulo literally carried my middle school fantasy baseball team. I always loved Tulo and it was a shame that injuries plagued his carrier. But when he was on the field, he was always one of those guys that it was like I have to see this at bat. Edit: As for Timmy the decline in velocity from his body and aging really hurt him cause his change up just got worse as a result.
Love this video man, I was a big Rockies fan during this time and I remember these two story lines colliding in the NL west. Thank you for the nostalgia:)
I haven’t through of tim lincecum in years but he was one of my favorite players as a kid even tho I’m a Mets fan I have a lot of good memories that revolve around watching him pitch great video
Wouldn't have done much. Barry hit only .276 in his final year in 2007. He was already on the way out, and probably would have been gone before their 2010 world series run.
My favorite pitcher growing up and still today is and will always be Tim lincecum. He holds a special place in my heart watching him dominate through my childhood.
Though it was years ago, I'm always fondly remember being a young AZ Dbacks fan getting to watch "The Freak" work his magic against us during the 2010 season.
I miss Timmy He was my favorite pitcher growing up, then all of a sudden he disappeared. As a kid, I never found out what happened until many years later. :/ And Tulo? That man was *different.*
I don’t care what anybody says as a Phillies fan my whole life, watching baseball at 10-12 in Lincecums prime he astounded me I would love to see him in the hall of fame
I feel so incredibly lucky to have witnessed Tim Lincecum's prime and get the feeling of nostalgia when I watch clips and compilations featuring him. Lincecum will always have a special place in the hearts of Bay Area natives as he helped usher the sports renaissance of the Bay Area in the 2010s. The Bay Area got to see World Series Championships, NBA World Championships, Super Bowl runs, and even a Stanley Cup Final run.
In my opinion, Timmys downfall started when they stopped letting him smoke weed. If only he could’ve been 10 years younger and been starting this day and age when it's more acceptable…
He’s hall of “what if”, his peak was HoF level yeah but so is arguably every pitcher who wins a cy young at all. He couldn’t stay healthy enough to flex his talent. Baseball is a game of constant adjustments and adjustments to adjustments. He never adapted to the league adapting to him and for that reason he’s not a HoF
As a young Dodgers fan in this time this is probably my favorite video by you because of the highlight of two of the best players I was privileged to see in my time
Even before this video I also felt Tulo and Lincecum represented an era in baseball. I felt their 'vibes' were so close to eachother. My favorite all-around player and my favorite non-Jake Peavy pitcher. Growing up an avid Padres fan, I watched my padres play against these guys for years. Even before I knew other players names outside of Adrian Gonzalez and Jake Peavy, whenever we would play the Giants I would always say to my dad "Not the long haired guy, he's not pitching today right?" or whenever it was the rockies i would hold my breath whenever the short stop with a mullet would step up. Of course as I grew more and more in love with baseball, and got older and smarter, I learned their names, and I'll never forget them. Two of the best to play in their short lived prime. Two guys I ALWAYS routed for, even when timmy was declining in 2012 and was a bullpen pitcher. Even when tulo was traded and it didn't feel right to see him play in Toronto. I am one of many who were/are obsessed with their careers and it always felt in some weird way, their careers were intertwined and connected. Excellent video as always
I love this guy and his perspective on baseball, players, and history. I thoroughly enjoy learning from him and his videos. He always comes up with some stuff I don't know. And I know a lot about baseball. Good work . Keep it up my man.
I've been a Jays fan my whole life, but always would tune into a Rockies game to watch Tulo play. You could imagine how pumped I was when we got him for that unbelievable playoff run. I wish the guy could stay on the field, but boy did he have some memorable playoff moments. One of the greats who will always be brought up in "the hall of very good"
"Titanic Tantalizing" is, BY FAR, the best one yet! I know this is old and I'm rewatching, but keep em coming! My favorite part about watching your videos is hoping there's some way to fit in a random Bartolo stat. It's amazing how many there are to choose from!
Love these 2 and this video! Growing up in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s Lincecum was my favorite pitcher (even as a Rangers fan) and Tulo never ceased to amaze me. Thanks for taking me back to those days so vividly.
I remember watching the end of Tim's first no hitter and being super happy for him as his career was going down a bit. Loved watching him pitch. Tulo was a beast as well As a Tribe fan the name Grady Sizemore gives me a similar vibe to these. Maybe not as well known but the same path.
At 7:00 you see Tulo’s old toe tap. At around 7:06 you can see his new stance and that’s when he started tearing it up and that looks like his stance now crazy to see that difference
Really reminds you that you have to "take in the moment" in sports at all times, especially with its ELITE stars. You never know when things may take a turn for the worse for either your own team or the transcendent stars of any given time. Awesome video
In 2006 my family introduced me to baseball. My mother watched the New York Mets in their post season run, including that painful loss in the NLCS. The next year, we watched the post season again. That's when I fell in love with the Rockies. Watching guys like Cook, Helton, Holliday, Ianetta, Atkins and, yes, Tulowitzki was magical and it made me fall in love with the franchise, the team I support to this day through the many downs and the exhilarating highs. And Tulo was one of the guys I loved to watch, Tulo was special. What the front office did to him was absolutely criminal.
Hey man I discovered your channel in may-ish and because of you I decided to try to get into baseball this year. I'm loving it despite being a Phillies fan. Just wanted to say you made a baseball fan so thanks :)

Small bit of fact-checking, hope you all enjoyed the vid!
* Phillies didn't win the World Series in 2009, rather the pennant
* The Giants ended a 56 year drought by winning in 2010, not 54 years.
What about the rise and fall of Ubaldo Jimenez
I almost corrected this but you beat me to it
As a Phillies fan, I like to pretend they won the World Series in 2009 so its okay
Banana
Your videos have just gotten better and better. Wishing you continued success as you deep dive these stats for us.
The fact that Tim Lincecum and Barry Bonds’ careers overlapped is a fact that never occurred to me and kinda blows my mind. I just think of them so separately in my mind. It feels like worlds colliding to know they were on the same team at one point.
Bryce Poston I feel that. To me Bonds is a product of the 90s but his 2 most dominant seasons were both in the 2000s and obviously he broke the record in 07. Weird as
I hope Secret Base is listening.
Dogboy Gacha reread my comment bruh I never said he was good in 07
Dogboy Gacha also now that I revisit this comment what do you mean lmao he still had an OPS over 1.000 and got on base 48% of the time... still lead the league in walks, IBB and OBP...
Dude me too
I was like huh
Tim Lincecum had a short prime, but a great one
They still have no respect for him in MLB the show ☹️
True, and I generally think we should remember players at their absolute best.
Foolish Baseball I’m a big fan and subscriber
Is that a height joke? Lol
Wow This is literally what the video is about

Has he done "Enormous Erotic" yet?

God loves you!
Damn this is legit AF
I got to see him throw absolute heaters in 2007 with Fresno grizzly's when I was 14. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Unforgettable day

Ahhhhh, early morning Baseball Bits *sips coffee*
@Fuzzy love your vids!
No

It’s sad you didn’t make World Series in that game
and a good day to you sir
In 3 years: So, you didn’t vote for Troy Tulowitzki and Tim Lincecum...
Shawan Dunston is basically the same player as Tulowitzki and hes in the hall so....
havanaradio he was on the ballot yeah but never made it lol
@@floppaturnt ha thanks for pointing that out i probably heard that he was on the ballot and misremembered it ive been thinking he was hof for years
@Braxton Kuker He's a 20 career WAR guy, he's not going in. Full stop.
@Braxton Kuker Cy Youngs mean nothing. Awards are meaningless because they are so often given to the wrong players. He's worth like 35 less wins than he needs to be to have a good shot at getting into the Hall of Fame.
I've always loved Lincecum's delivery
Me too. Extremely unique. As repeatable as it was violent.
it's no surprise he had hip injuries though with that herky jerky windup lol
I remember that Sports Illustrated story about his delivery; the torque he got from twisting back, then striding forward almost 7 feet was insane, we’ll never see anything like it

I'm starting to think Foolish just makes a new Baseball Bits every time he comes up with a new nickname for Bartolo Colon
Still waiting on the Huge Handsome episode
I'll forever remember Tulo for hitting a line drive straight to Jose Fernandez and Jose catching it like it was nothing with Tulo going, "Did you catch that?"
That was great.
Best baseball gif ever.
"So instead of asking what happened or what could have been, maybe we should just be thankful for what it was." Brought a tear to my eyes, FB :')
When I started watching baseball, Tim was in his prime
Quickly he became my favorite player
Nice to remember how fun was watching him to play
SF - LA rivalry had a "boom" with Lincecum and Kershaw in the same generation
Wow

Wow
And again
Wow
wow
@@FoolishBaseball best baseball channel! Nice job!
2011-2012 opening day was amazing with both of them pitching
@@SpacermanTV I remember that
A great rivalry, two great starting pitchers
Baseball is the best sport
I miss yelling "Tulo!" when making a jump throw from short as a kid
Clap Clap, clap clap clap, clap clap clap clap TULO!
Now it’s arenado from 3rd
As a Giants fan born and raised watching timmy pitch us into victory was always a spectacle
Its a shame his violent motion due to his short frame heavily shortened his career and dominance....but it's also what made him fun to watch even when the Giants were medicore as a team...he was their star for 3 years and I loved watching him pitch even though I wasn't into baseball

I saw so many Let Timmy Smoke shirts in the early 2010s around the bay haha
@@alexe4264 remembering the 2010 world series parade and half the crowd had "let timmy smoke" shirts or signs haha
Yes, this made my day, foolish baseball has uploaded
that's right
2 of the best players in the Rockies giants rivalry that didn’t eat balanced breakfasts.
Truly gives me hope as a person who doesn't eat balanced breakfast
Bro what about Todd Helton? It’s like you forgot he even exists? Or how about Larry Walker or Nolan arenado?
Tim is a great example of burning away bright and fast. Such a short lived prime but such an enjoyable one.
He certainly left his mark regardless of what happened next
I just hope you’re calling a World Series game later on in your life. The best sports channel on the internet
We still miss #55 Timmy, it was awesome watching him hurl that ball.
I stopped watching the MLB in 2010 and started really getting into RUclips videos about the sport recently. When I found out what happened with Lincecum’s career, my jaw dropped. The dude was absolutely running the sport when I had stopped watching.
its insane how tim lincecum went from being one of the greatest starting pitchers in baseball history to a liability in a matter of 4 years
edit: watched the video, feel like a goofus
Hey, if I made you think differently about baseball in some way, that's mission accomplished on my end.
Matt Harvey
Happened to Matt Harvey in 1-2 years
Injury to his hip. Career ended
Hanging out at the bar all day drinking and partying....career ender x 2.
Not entirely insane. Scouts warned his delivery would likely lead to a multitude of injuries
Thank you for the love for the rockies! 2007 was stuff of legend
Rocktober ruled
8:40 this was not the first Giants World Series Win in 54 years, but the first since 1954, or the first in 56 years.
Aside from that little nitpick, great video!
Thanks for pointing that out! Hopefully you can see how easy it would be to mess that up (1954 vs 54 years ago)
Foolish Baseball I can absolutely see that being a really easy mistake to make, I actually had to check to make sure that I wasn’t the one that was wrong.
A civil constructive criticism in YT comments.... Real gentlemen still exist.
Two of my favorite players ever. They were both completely captivating.
"Titanic Tantalizing"
Stop it. I damn near spoiled my coffee.
Lincecum is probably my favorite pitcher of all time. He dominated and won it all for my hometown team, he was a quirky and relatable guy who seemed to embody the spirit and style of the fandom, and did all that while being one of the most unique players of his position. Grateful I got to watch Timmy smoke the league for a bunch of seasons.
The Giants got lucky that they got him Panda and Buster....3 goats
I may have shed a tear or six. Born in SF and raised in Colorado, those two defined my favorite era of baseball
Just found your videos, you are the main reason I got back into baseball again. Great stuff
So, Lewis Brinson is finally having a major league level season.
I am now waiting for that Marlins video.
Hey, could definitely happen.
It’s funny, I just happened to watch this video and see this comment on the same day Brinson hit 2 hr’s for the Giants against the Dodgers
The concept and execution of this channel is pretty much perfect. Way to go, FB!
I’m a simple man, Foolish Baseball posts and I click.
Folks, it's really that simple.
My favorite pitcher and favorite position player of that era. I had such a massive man-crush on Tulo. I got to see him hit two homeruns in one game against the Giants at Coors Field. I miss him dearly.
Man seeing Timmy and Zito celebrating brought a tear to my eyes
Great video. I was there at the game when Tulo debuted with the Jays. His home run during his first plate appearance with the team was such a shot of adrenaline.

15:00 Didn't know I was gonna be crying this morning
As a lifelong Giants fan who watched Lincecum growing up, this gave me a great nostalgia trip. Thank you
Tim Lincecum was always one of my favorite players. So unique.
He was like the opposite of Randy Johnson frame wise but had the same control and impact I feel albeit for a shorter time...he was scary for hitters to face
Hey dude, just wanted to say that I adored the way that this video focused on all the positives of these two icons careers - much of the baseball world tends to just go "yeah, they were great but what if ____ etc etc. As a giants fan growing up (and still one today) I've come to realize that while Timmy was truly incredible and we unfortunately didn't get to see him as long as so many of us wanted to, it's a privilege that we were taking along on the ride in the first place and got to witness such a wild feat of a 155lb kid pitching in the majors.

LET TIMMY SMOKE
This is one of the greatest examples of not what could have been but to enjoy it for what it was Thank you for an amazing video
I'll always be grateful for Tulo's contributions to the Blue Jays. He had some very clutch moments when the Jays were good in 15/16.
Those Jays teams were insane.. Best offence in all of baseball that year by a wide margin, too bad they never were able to win it all.
I haven’t through of tim lincecum in years but he was one of my favorite players as a kid even tho I’m a Mets fan I have a lot of good memories that revolve around watching him pitch great video
Imagine if Barry Bonds didn’t get blacklisted from the MLB and was playing alongside prime Lincecum😳
Wouldn't have done much. Barry hit only .276 in his final year in 2007. He was already on the way out, and probably would have been gone before their 2010 world series run.
Billy The Kid Bonds still had the highest OBP in the league and an ops over 1.000 in 2007 at age 42...He would have made a good DH for an AL team.
Imagine if Bonds hadn't done drugs.
@@mikephalen3162 imagine if there was a positive test.
I love when Foolish gets all philosophical. “We should be thankful for what it was”
Are we gonna talk about how some kid the White Sox drafted this year is already throwing his 102mph fastball and nasty slider in the Major Leagues?
Our future closer🔥🔥🔥 THE DYNASTY IS COMING
My favorite pitcher growing up and still today is and will always be Tim lincecum. He holds a special place in my heart watching him dominate through my childhood.
Though it was years ago, I'm always fondly remember being a young AZ Dbacks fan getting to watch "The Freak" work his magic against us during the 2010 season.
Brandon Webb was the man as well.
I love just vibing to Foolish BB and SRS videos. They help me get through life.
I miss Timmy
He was my favorite pitcher growing up, then all of a sudden he disappeared. As a kid, I never found out what happened until many years later. :/
And Tulo? That man was *different.*
The music is so on point in this one, the production quality keeps getting better
The amount of things you’ve called bartolo colon is legendary
I don’t care what anybody says as a Phillies fan my whole life, watching baseball at 10-12 in Lincecums prime he astounded me I would love to see him in the hall of fame
Tulo sucked it’s just the coors field effect. (This is a joke but it’s what a Hof voter would say)
Lincecum sucked it's just the AT&T Park effect
Don't tell Barry Bonds about the AT&T effect. Granted, he had a "balanced breakfast" way too much and I hate him for that, but bombs can be hit there.
Same with Tim. Oracle effect
@@FoolishBaseball Someone's about to get sued by Oracle Corporation
Foolish baseball, whatever you do, never change. Thank you
Titanic tantalizer, man you really reached with that one.
Everything about your video is fantastic, but what really does it for me is the choice of music. Just pure excellence!
7:31 lol the Phillies didn’t win the WS in ‘09
Yes. Oh well they lost to the Phillies in the ‘09 NLDS and that clip is from ‘09 so something is still messed up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ah. You're right. I should've said pennant.
Been waiting for a Timmy video from Foolish. My life is now complete.
Do you remember in late 2019 when we thought the Rangers were signing Lincecum?
I feel so incredibly lucky to have witnessed Tim Lincecum's prime and get the feeling of nostalgia when I watch clips and compilations featuring him. Lincecum will always have a special place in the hearts of Bay Area natives as he helped usher the sports renaissance of the Bay Area in the 2010s. The Bay Area got to see World Series Championships, NBA World Championships, Super Bowl runs, and even a Stanley Cup Final run.
Why are the Braves always everywhere but the world series
Just take a time machine and go back to the 90s. They were stupid good back when they have all the pitching in the world.
When you throw as hard as Tim did with his frame it’s amazing he lasted as long as he did. His delivery is still fun to watch!
In my opinion, Timmys downfall started when they stopped letting him smoke weed. If only he could’ve been 10 years younger and been starting this day and age when it's more acceptable…
These are my two favourite baseball players from my younger years. Thanks!
Tim Lincecum is a Hall of Famer. At his best one of the very best ever
I don't see a path for him to make the Hall of Fame unfortunately, although I've been wrong before.
He’s hall of “what if”, his peak was HoF level yeah but so is arguably every pitcher who wins a cy young at all. He couldn’t stay healthy enough to flex his talent. Baseball is a game of constant adjustments and adjustments to adjustments. He never adapted to the league adapting to him and for that reason he’s not a HoF
As a young Dodgers fan in this time this is probably my favorite video by you because of the highlight of two of the best players I was privileged to see in my time
Timmy IS A HALL OF FAMER IN MY HEART!
And he should be in the HOF
Brings happy tears to my eyes. Timmmehh will always be a beloved Giants legend
Thank your for this!
Even before this video I also felt Tulo and Lincecum represented an era in baseball. I felt their 'vibes' were so close to eachother.

I've been a Jays fan my whole life, but always would tune into a Rockies game to watch Tulo play. You could imagine how pumped I was when we got him for that unbelievable playoff run. I wish the guy could stay on the field, but boy did he have some memorable playoff moments. One of the greats who will always be brought up in "the hall of very good"
Timmy man, favorite pitcher ever, so glad i got to see him play once
Foolish baseball and summoning salt. Every video is a must-watch from these two.
"Titanic Tantalizing" is, BY FAR, the best one yet! I know this is old and I'm rewatching, but keep em coming! My favorite part about watching your videos is hoping there's some way to fit in a random Bartolo stat. It's amazing how many there are to choose from!
Wow, this was beautifully done
Tim was the reason I really got into baseball. He was truly a freak of nature.
Love these 2 and this video! Growing up in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s Lincecum was my favorite pitcher (even as a Rangers fan) and Tulo never ceased to amaze me. Thanks for taking me back to those days so vividly.
Tim Lincecum was my favorite player growing up. This video made me cry. Screw you. Thank you.
Thanks for this. Lincecum got me to fall in love with the game. Miss him dearly
I'm so thankful for this kind of video, greetings from the land of baseball, Dominican Republic.
I get very happy when Foolish uploads.
2 great choices for this kind of video, these two are icons of the era in which i grew up watching
THANK YOU! I think I’ve asked for this multiple times! Love the Freak and Tulo
I remember watching the end of Tim's first no hitter and being super happy for him as his career was going down a bit. Loved watching him pitch. Tulo was a beast as well
As a Tribe fan the name Grady Sizemore gives me a similar vibe to these. Maybe not as well known but the same path.
Excellent video. I haven't seen to many videos on Timmy so it was good to see one. A very good one. Thanks
timmy and tulo were my fondest memories from mlb the show on the ps2, so happy u made this video
At 7:00 you see Tulo’s old toe tap. At around 7:06 you can see his new stance and that’s when he started tearing it up and that looks like his stance now crazy to see that difference
Love the videos, Keep up the great work! You are a gem of a youtuber!
Thank you! I'll do my best.
Really reminds you that you have to "take in the moment" in sports at all times, especially with its ELITE stars. You never know when things may take a turn for the worse for either your own team or the transcendent stars of any given time. Awesome video
In 2006 my family introduced me to baseball. My mother watched the New York Mets in their post season run, including that painful loss in the NLCS. The next year, we watched the post season again. That's when I fell in love with the Rockies. Watching guys like Cook, Helton, Holliday, Ianetta, Atkins and, yes, Tulowitzki was magical and it made me fall in love with the franchise, the team I support to this day through the many downs and the exhilarating highs. And Tulo was one of the guys I loved to watch, Tulo was special. What the front office did to him was absolutely criminal.
Hey man I discovered your channel in may-ish and because of you I decided to try to get into baseball this year. I'm loving it despite being a Phillies fan. Just wanted to say you made a baseball fan so thanks :)
this was a super good video. grew up idolizing these two guys- miss the days when they dominated baseball
