@ SPORTS FAN 316, They should have slowed it down and made it longer. You can't really appreciate or savor the players in this video. But they were great players for sure.
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.
I am not complaining at all...l liked this video so much l wish it was longer and we could have stayed with each player 5-10 seconds longer but only becuz l liked it so much.
RC C, Good idea for a video, but too rapid-fire to appreciate any one of them; especially the Dead Ball era players, with whom most of us are less familiar. I had to reduce video to half-speed, which screwed up the audio of course. I'd re-do it.
If he just admitted he did wrong and seemed to care I think it would've made a huge difference. Whether or not he deserves to be in (he does) he made a huge mistake and did the one thing universially agreed to be bad for baseball. But instead he's been nothing but arrogant and "why me" since his banning.
@@Andyface79 he has more hits in the MLB he can be arrogant. He played the game at full speed. So what he did was said to be bad for baseball exactly how bad did his act hurt baseball? The hall of fame is for great players and record holders. The most hits all time is a huge record. Ty Cobb was arrogant and he's in the hall of fame and he tried to hurt people with his spikes. But that's only my opinion and maybe the majority like you don't feel that way. I still feel the Raiders QB plunk should be in the hall of fame. So I do respect you.
Steve Lillie I hear you about that. My point isn’t that he was arrogant as a player, but that he didn’t show any remorse for what he did. Gambling undermines the core of a sport because you can’t be sure if your team is trying to win or not. The whole point of sports is two teams trying their hardest to win. MLB has been inconsistent about a lot of things but they have always come down hard on gambling. It’s the one thing you don’t do.
@@ThekiBoran So why would Ty Cobb be considered one of the best players of all time? Cobb only hit more triples than Rose. Cobb also played in an era were fielding was much more difficult so triples were easier to get. But Rose got more career hits than Cobb. He got more career doubles than Cobb. And he got more career home runs than Cobb. He also got more walks than Cobb. The only reason he isn’t in the hof and considered one of the best players of all time is because his gambling issues as a manager. I also find it funny how you call him “a singles hitter” when he ranks second in doubles all time. Inform yourself before you make such an idiotic comment.
1st 5 went in the same time. Cobb did get the most votes. Guess they put Ruth first because he was the biggest name. Likewise Griffey being last while Piazza was inducted the same year
The ‘This Week in Baseball’ music always brings me back to my youth. RIP Mel Allen.
And I don’t understand this video is so well put together and only has 10,000 views with all the hard work that went into this I am very shocked
Agreed
Same

Not everybody likes baseball
Super film, some of the photos are rare.
These guys are all incredible!!

Go to settings and reduce the playback speed to 50%. You can thank me later.
I just hopped on your bus great content
you forgot about satchel paige
I agree with the BiPster I also just hopped on your bus great content keep it up 👍
Hopefully Thurman Munson and Graig Nettles will be in there soon!!!!!
Absolutely criminal that Munson and Mattingly aren't already in. And if Harold Baines is HOF, why not Mickey Rivers?
@@imilliemedina666 I agree, I also feel that Roger Maris and Graig Nettles should be there.
Great video!

I always wondered what is the title of that background music score used by MLB in the last minutes. Love it. 8:10
please do a video about joe sewell
The photograph labeled Bill Dickey, looks like Red Ruffing to me.
Even after all these years, it still kills me to see Carlton Fisk wearing anything other than a Red Sox uniform.
CARLOS DELGADO YOU BE IN THE HALL OF FAME
they showed a pic of Red Ruffing for Bill Dickey
Nice video, only some of these players went by too quickly. You could have made it a bit longer.
you forgot Connie Mack
connie mack was a manager. this is for players
Updated through Mariano Rivera and the 2019 class: ruclips.net/video/12p0oOIn3Vg/видео.html
1st and last are both top 10 all time
Now you can add mariano rivera!
Your video of Bill Dickey is not Bill Dickey?
Do a Griffey to present
Didn't see Al Lopez 😕
This video only shows players elected to the Hall as players. Lopez got in as a manager.
Love BaseBall!!!!!!!!!
I did too until it changed into what it is today. Boring.
Wait, where's Donnie Baseball?
Bob Uecker?
I went to the park when Uecker was catching. That was some exciting ball. Cardinals
What about Branch Rickey?
Only players are shown.
That 'someday' was 2016
That is not Buck Ewing
Or George Davis
Also missed Deacon White, inducted as a player in 2013
.
YANKEE BASTARD agreed
george and harry wright are not shown either as well as Al Spalding
Where is Earl Weaver he should follow jim Bunning
Joe Torre???
What about Bert Campaneris and Joe Rudi??
Greenwolfe Green they aren't in the hall of fame ...
ozzie smith deserves a place in Cooperstown? he had poor numbers, even wade boggs is not enough
What about Satchel Paige?
Satchel Paige is in the HOF he was just forgotten
❤have matchup ty cobb vs satchel Paige, or lou gehrig vs satchel Paige
No Jack Morris or Ivan Rodriguez
I think this was before they were inducted ...
Kirk Gibson never made the hof
Kirk Gibson?!?!?? LOL, this comment made my day,
Ken Griffey Jr was inducted in 2016, so anybody who got in after wouldn’t be in this video.
Which career stat makes Gibson a HOF'er? His 255 homers? His .268 average? What?
Did I miss Red Faber?
3:16
I'm a diehard A's fan but Pete Rose needs to be in the hall of fame. All time hits leader. Who cares about the gambling and whatever.
If he won the game he would get the money witch is unfair you idoit
PixelGunGamer it doesn't matter he's the all time hits leader idiot.
If he just admitted he did wrong and seemed to care I think it would've made a huge difference. Whether or not he deserves to be in (he does) he made a huge mistake and did the one thing universially agreed to be bad for baseball.

IM THE BEST THERE IS AND BEST THERE EVER WILL BE
The best player of all time, Pete Rose, is not shown. What's going on?
There's no way a singles hitter can be the best of all time.
@@ThekiBoran So why would Ty Cobb be considered one of the best players of all time? Cobb only hit more triples than Rose.

@@OldBenKenobi2318
OK, you like name calling? You're a douche nozzle.
Pete Rose is not in the hall of fame.
@@kimkelly5512 My point exactly
That's not Bill Dickey. That's actually Red Ruffing.
TY Cobb first one in the HOF
1st 5 went in the same time. Cobb did get the most votes. Guess they put Ruth first because he was the biggest name. Likewise Griffey being last while Piazza was inducted the same year
What about Bert Campaneris and Joe Rudi??
Neither of them are in the Hall of Fame, if you aren't joking. Good players, though.
Good players, not all-time-great players. Sorry, neither are deserving of the honor.
