My first and only MLB game I've ever went to. My girlfriend and I were just taking our seats we got to the game late, I hadn't even sat down when Jose Canseco smashes this ball in our Direction , the ball was perfectly in line with me getting bigger in my eyesight but then it kept climbing in went above my head onto the top deck . I'll never forget that!
That team was stacked, hard to believe only won one world series, plus two losses to underdog teams , the ' 88 dodgers and ' 90 reds , plus got swept by the reds.

@@reverseflash882 so did many of his peers. they call it the steroid era for a reason. the biggest crook of them all was Bud Selig. pretending he didn't have knowledge of the steroid abuse and still accepting a paycheck from MLB 👎🏿
The most exciting hitter ever in the MLB, PERIOD................... and did I mention he also had HOLLYWOOD looks- this guy had everything-Love you Jose
Rickey Henderson and the Bash Brothers introduced me to baseball. I could just not let go of the game and my love for the A’s as a child. I never played in colors other than green and yellow. Too bad I have a lazy eye and can’t hit a beach ball with a church door. Mellow memories.
This famous home run by Jose Canseco in the 1989 ALCS marked the beginning of the end for Mike Flanagan's MLB career. He was released by the Jays a month into the 1990 season, and retired after the 1992 season. Sadly, he took his own life in 2011 after a long battle with depression and personal financial issues. He was 59 at the time of his death.
Wow!! That’s a story whether one likes it or not. Mike Flanagan was a real good pitcher on the whole. Think of all that would love to have had his career.
lolll Jays will be back at the Skydome/Rogers Center starting on July 30... Don't miss Vladdy Guerrero Jr's PLAKATA straight to the fifth and last deck à la Canseco !!
I remember this as a kid like it was yesterday. Costas then later said when you are sitting in those seats you dont expect to get a baseball or something to that effect.
1988-90 was such an amazing time to be an Oakland A’s fan. Incredible to watch Canseco, McGwire and Ricky H. Who cares about ‘roids? It was so fun to watch the power Homers
One thing I noticed about Canseco's bat swing is that he draws his bat back and swings to get momentum. He can only do that because his wrist and forearms are so strong. He knocked smile off that ball!
If I remember correctly the estimated distance on this was around 540 ft. Then a team of physicists did some actual studies on the 500 ft home run and wrote a paper on it. They got schematics of the ball parks and figure out exactly where the ball landed as well as the angle that it left the bat and such and this particular home run went 445. The one that Mark McGwire hit was estimated around 538 and the actual distance was 483. They were absolutely horrendous at estimating home run distances back then haha
Ya, you don't bring your glove to the game if you are sitting there. I walked up to near where it landed and most players couldn't hit it there from second base.
Steroids, or not, that was an absolute monster blast! Say what you will about Canseco, but you never wanted to miss one of his ABs. Wish they had statcast for that HR
The most blessed individual in all of baseball during that era was Carney Lansford. Imagine coming to bat with Rickey Henderson on first, with Canseco on deck and McGwire behind him. Unless you want to see Henderson waltz into second, you're going to have to throw a fastball. (Lansford was a great player in his own right, but there was a reason he flirted with .400 for a good half of a season.)
Tony Kubeks' "O my goodness" reaction was epic. I was watching from home getting ready for work. Will never forget that day. And to think that Canseco was actually somewhat jammed and did not get his arms fully extended. Could you imagine how far it would have traveled had he done so?
yeah the swing matters. but so do steroids which help you recover a lot faster than a normal human being. it isnt always muh ball goes farther on steroids
Most guys in the majors know how to hit. The mediocre guys averages drop from flying out as well as striking out. Roided out guys will have increased strength and bat speed to power out a long fly ball! Steroids increase your physical ability period.
Growing up n Oakland n the 80s Jose Canseco of the As and Will Clark of the Giants were my favorite players. N the 90s when they both got traded and played for the Texas Rangers, I was the happiest baseball fan ever
I miss when baseball players were on gear. Made the sport so much more fun to watch. Same with football. Went from Barry's year to no one hitting anywhere near 70 again
The way the commentator says "oh my goodness" and then Magawire, right after Canseco does his head shake while rounding first is the funniest thing ever. He says oh my goodness like he was scared of something. He couldn't even say McGuire correctly.
"I thought he (Canseco) was the most complete athlete I've ever managed...This guy really could run, and, when he was concentrating, play defense. And he loved to take the tough at-bat. Injuries just took the important part of his career from him." - Tony La Russa
I was a Jays fan watching this live. It felt like facing a team full of superheroes. Rickey Henderson, Canseco, McGwire. All filled to the brim with 'roids. Sheesh! With Eckersley out of the bullpen... They were unbeatable. We had to wait until 1992 when that Alomar home run vs Eckersley changed everything for the Jays.

I saw this MONSTER home run live. Saturday July 15, 1989. I was attending Fresno State University. it was almost my senior year and I went to Collectors Paradise card shop, still owned by Mike Rickard to this day, they were back then on East Shields Ave corner to North Cedar Ave. to check out his shop. The Saturday game of the week was on KSEE Channel 24, NBC. It was just a magical year for José Canseco, Mark McGwire and the entire Oakland Athletics! 1989 MLB Champs!

@stevenevents I must of confused the July event with this one. You are right!
My dad still has it. He got it in hopes of making a huge profit. I think it was worth $70, $90 at one point. Something like that. Now you'd be lucky if you could find someone to give you $3 for it.
I've got a binder full of all of his baseball cards from the 80's; minor league cards, Donruss, Fleer, Topps, Score, you name it...what a great investment that was!! Not!
Yeah, always wanted that card as a kid. As an adult I bought a few too many I'd say lol. It's still fun to keep adding to the collection even though they'll never be a great investment. Overall though, his cards have rebounded a little in recent years. The rookie you mention here is back up to 20 dollars.
+infntnub Really? I figured it would never be worth more than $5 again, especially since he hasn't and will likely never make the HOF. Maybe my dad should try selling it again if that's the case-- lol.
This 1989 Oakland A's teeam is the best ive seen in my lifetime. Murders row of batters. Batting champions, home run hitting chsmpa..cy young pitchers.
Sure, but what if you're already a super elite uber athlete with all the physical gifts, including exceptional eye/hand co-ordination, and then you take steroids? Will that make a difference then? Maybe even a little?
Actually, many theorize that steroids in fact improved Barry Bonds eyesight during his ridiculous run so theoretically it is possible considering your eyeball is surrounded by muscles and they control its movement.
No kidding. Of course you need hand-eye coordination to the hit the ball. They're in the majors for a reason. If you believe that they are taking steroids as the risk of physical deterioration and drastic side effects for no gain then you are willfully ignorant or fooling yourself. No, it doesn't give you hand-eye coordination. No one ever said it did. However, it will make you run faster and make the ball go farther when you do hit it and make contact. Why else would these track stars and baseball players take it amidst all the risks-- legal, physical and otherwise?
Conseco didnt take down basball , he was just a fall guy that couldnt if he wanted too , keep hi mouth shut, but when it came to that field , there will never be another bash bros , the whole league was juicing but Jose and Mcgwire wont their rookie of the year awards without juicing and those are facts .
FWIW, I am in this video, 3rd row 3 to the left of the redhead with her hands up. Ball landed row behind us. My friend could have caught it but he did not want to drop his beer. We were chanting " steroids " just before Canseco hit it. The strangest thing,ball kept climbing and climbing, I see myself now looking back into the field of play wondering how the heck the ball went so far. Well, we were pretty accurate with our chant.
@@redwingsfan3621 yea FML is an old saying and was hardly ever used once acronyms became more common as smart phones and social media became more common.
Bill Jenkinson (who wrote a book called "Ultimate Power" about the greatest tape-measure hitters of all time) has this one listed as Canseco's 4th longest career home run, at 484 feet.
I love that you watch McGwire hitting a home run in 1996, and you've got Buck Martinez (color commentator) referring to this home run, so then you click on this home run video, and you've got the color commentator here referring to a different home run that McGwire hit.
Jose Conseco and Mark McGwire both were a pair of muscleheads that stood 6-5, weighed 250 pounds. They literally sent baseballs out of ballparks and left the crowds in awe. They were really something to watch even though they both juiced themselves up with roids.
I did see Darryl Strawberry hit one in the minor leagues, when he was playing for the Jackson Met's in AA in the Texas league that I believe is still going.
there were some violent swings during the steroid era.Personally I would like to see the old pronabol 5 passed out like candy and let the balls land where they may
So basically you want to see more cheating take place so long as it entertains your ego? But don’t let a guy like Pete Rose into the Hall of a Fame who never once took a drug during his entire baseball career! Yea this makes all the sense in the world...
kylesteinhauser of course you don’t care because you encourage cheating because it satisfies your ego. Given the opportunity you’d use drugs to enhance your performance because you probably weren’t that good in the first place hence why you don’t care about steroids being a form of cheating

You got that right dude.. miss the 90s
Canseco ratting everybody out lol that's what how I'll always remember
Doesn't matter how much steroids you take, it still won't give you the hand eye co-ordination to hit the baseball.
And into the 2000’s with Barry!
I agree. I think there should be a new league. MLB Unlimited.

Forced to watch a 15 second ad just to see a 57 second video 🤦🏿♂️ 😡
Juiced up
I was at this game...
“Wooah”! “Holy cow!”
Funny how big Canseco looked then but now a days kids in little League make Canseco look like Urkel
0:18 I thought the pitcher was clapping for Jose. Lmao
canseco and McGuire are my 2 favorite natty baseball players
I did see Darryl Strawberry hit one in the minor leagues, when he was playing for the Jackson Met's in AA in the Texas league that I believe is still going.
Similar story; I saw a prime Pujols hit one so hard, the last time I saw it was 75 feet over the left field fence and still going up.
@@staidenofanarchy nah, that's an impossible angle from home
What does he mean if it's fair??? That's was a no doubter all the way!!
Back in the day when you would go on a tour of the Skydome the guides would always mention where the ball landed.
Love these!!! 85 mph waist high fastballs. Good idea!!!
Bring back steroids, baseball was the best when everyone was juiced to the gills.
there were some violent swings during the steroid era.Personally I would like to see the old pronabol 5 passed out like candy and let the balls land where they may
I even loved watching Jose swing and miss. Even that was magical!
So basically you want to see more cheating take place so long as it entertains your ego? But don’t let a guy like Pete Rose into the Hall of a Fame who never once took a drug during his entire baseball career! Yea this makes all the sense in the world...
@@TheAnswerToIs-uk5fq I think Rose should be in the HOF too doofus. Roids or none, I don't care.
kylesteinhauser of course you don’t care because you encourage cheating because it satisfies your ego. Given the opportunity you’d use drugs to enhance your performance because you probably weren’t that good in the first place hence why you don’t care about steroids being a form of cheating
I remember watching this. Should have been around the 3pm hour given I was out of school and where I was then.
Back back back Gone!
Sounded like Kubek said “Holy crap” at the end😂😂
You gotta respect the guy he camed to play he crushed the ball.yes holy cow that was a dangerous a’s team
Why does it look like the pitcher was intentionally throwing batting practice lol
Bash brothers!!!
