Bro I was there as an employee in game 3 against Joe Nathan. I wish you guys experienced that. The stadium was actually shaking. It was an earthquake in Yankee stadium. I was by gate 9 with a broom stick 🧹 weeping. All of the sudden ppl went nuts. Ppl running around hugging each other. An old lady hugged me and kissed me on cheek out of joy. It was an event I hope I get to tell grand kids one day. 😂
Yeah CC won it with 2 really good starts but I don't think it should go to a pitcher with 2 really good starts when you have a hitter that hot carrying the offense. Especially when one of those homers they couldn't have won without, in game 2.
ALCS & World Series Career Numbers: A-Rod .290 BA, .415 OBP, .980 OPS, 8 HR, 25 RBI, 27 Runs Scored in 35 Games Not too shabby for a choke artist, huh?
@@Schwedeballz A-rod was past his prime at that point in 2011-2012 so you can’t hold that against him. Plus the entire Yankee lineup struggled in the 2012 playoffs. They only had two games that entire postseason in which they scored more than 3 runs which were game 1 against the Orioles and Game 1 against the Tigers. Every other game they scored 3 or less.
m turley the 200’s were such great years for baseball and many things in my opinion. Specially since I grew up around that time, so it’s kinda sad to see the players I used to watch growing up retire one by one.
i think mlb is not giving the best source they have. I have a collection of games from 2009, including a few yankees postseason games. the quality is way better than this video
I am a Yankees fan, this year I had a lot of personal issues and got kicked out of college for financial issues. A-Rod redeeming himself made me feel better and actually got me to get back on track.
MANCHESTER UNITED You comment this on every video like if you’re going to convince us that soccer is awesome. We will ALWAYS LOVE BASEBALL DONT YOU GET IT!?!? 😂😂 just stop wasting your time and get a life lmaoo
A Rod was only 4 Home Runs away from getting 700, I wish he would have been picked up by another team in 2016 and play until he got 700 HR, only 3 players have ever hit 700 career HR's
I remember that for years, I dreaded ARod at the plate for the Yankees in the playoffs because he couldn’t get it done in the postseason. He choked a lot. Then 2009 came around and he went from playoff zero to playoff HERO. Once he found his stride in tthe postseason, the Yankees were suddenly unstoppable.
Mato P *only player in mlb history to play for a dynasty while taking Steroids. Everyone else weren’t on gem clubs like Aroid was. Sad part was did he or didn’t he needs the juice to succeed?
It's 8/27/2022 as of this comment. If you're a true Yankees fan, not sure how you can hate the guy that brought the Yankees their last championship in 13 years. Dude literally carried the Yanks to the title with his clutch postseason.
I remember watching the Yanks win the WS at Senor Swankey's bar on the UWS. The place went insane. Beer sprayed by the bar tenders all around. I want that again. 2019 will be #28.
The crowd was so loud in his ALDS Game 2 home run, that the audio technicians had to lower the volume. You don't see that often. The one year A-Rod truly redeemed himself... until he started taking PEDs again in 2010, but that's besides the point.
For all of you in the criticism mode. You can juice all you want but if you don't know how to hit the ball power means nothing. Alex Rodriguez one of the best got it ? get it ? GOOD!.
This video shows exactly why anytime a real yankee fan looks at me and says “I hate a rod” I just look at em like 🤨 cuz without a rod the yanks prob wouldn’t have won in 09, a rod is the man
joe buck has a great voice for commentating. if he would've shown some excitement and if he didn't hate the yankees so much he would've had some epic commentary plus a-rod's and judge's swings are kind of similar, with that one armed hesitation when they think or know they hit one out, that second of watching to make sure. both smooth as hell. judge's pre-swing routine is like a metronome, back and forth tick tock tick tock
Arod had that controversial status. He was the 1st instant replay for a Homerun in the regular season and the 1st instant replay for the playoffs. What are the odds in that
ckeller 89 I never had an HD TV back then, but I know for a fact this was in 16:9 because I saw a ball game at a friends house this same year in full 16:9
Opposite Jam shot homers? Wtf A Rod. This guy was really an incredible hitter. Now I truly believe he was hated on and made the fall guy during that suspension while Ortiz Got off easy
This was his year. They don’t win without him. Totally clutch.
FACTS
David Behman he was insane .
Totally Steroids
@@daviddeleon443 this was before steroids
@@JettyJ7 No he got busted before that yr started. Had press conference and everything. Sad to say a rod been on steroids entire career
2009 was A-Rod’s and Matsui’s year.
Tbh they don’t get there without A-Rod. He came up big in everysingle Clutch moment that year
@@809luisc Definitely True

He came through big for us that whole year , great player!
Arod knew to go down as one of the greats,you had to come through in MLB playoffs.He did and earned his World Series ring
Is it ok to cry to this, so much memories man
Hell yea you can!
He's one of the best baseball players of all time :)
Present Truth7 Whole truth!!
Not really.
Cheated
@@mattcoppola dont care with or without them your bitchass dont got the balls to deny his skill. One of the greatest baseball players ever.
@@mattcoppola So...
A-rod should have been the ALCS MVP in 09.
Yeah CC won it with 2 really good starts but I don't think it should go to a pitcher with 2 really good starts when you have a hitter that hot carrying the offense. Especially when one of those homers they couldn't have won without, in game 2.
Aaron Judge he is choke

.290 BA, .415 OBP, .980 OPS, 8 HR, 25 RBI, 27 Runs Scored in 35 Games
Not too shabby for a choke artist, huh?
Cascadeski that was also when he had hip problems and wrist surgery...get your facts straight

If you know baseball roids or not A rod is a top 7 talent of all time. 4th in HRs as a pure shortstop is insane not to mention GG 3rd base.
Man I Miss AROD.. 09 team is my favorite Yankees team
m turley the 200’s were such great years for baseball and many things in my opinion. Specially since I grew up around that time, so it’s kinda sad to see the players I used to watch growing up retire one by one.
God, if he could have played like this in every post season the Yankees would have won 5 World Series with him
He really played like shit those first couple years :/
Nicholas Morris a lot of big hitters struggle in the post season
yourface1218 right 🥺
@holyelixir4580 Yeah, I think a lot of times big hitters have added pressure to perform and it gets in their head.
He made up for it with this postseason run. Its hard to get one, as some teams never come close to getting to a championship.
Pretty crazy how time flies by dammmmn
02:48 Absolutely prophetic commentary right there. Love when they predict plays like this.
My favorite players of All-Time:
#1- Barry Bonds
#2 - Derek Jeter
#3 -Willie Mays
#4 - Ken Griffey Jr
#5 - Alex Rodriguez
Why is Barry your favorite player?
Elaborate on your list please?
Joe Buck literally sounds so disappointed every time the Yankees did anything..
The personification of the word “Clutch” one of the best of all time.
Thomas Cappiello 😂THEY DON'T LET CHEATERS IN THE HALL OF FAME
Jeffs World2.0 If they dont let cheaters in the hall of fame then why are people like Barry Bonds or even better David Ortiz going to make it in?
Adem Gunol bonds will never ever make it to Cooperstown
The Joe Nathan home run & Pavano HR are my personal biggest moments as a Yankee fan
2:48 pure gold commentary from a great commentator.
he was the best clutch hitter in 2009 season.
Love_Morphine CHEATER
Christ V I know right
Jeffs World2.0 hes still gonna be a hofer, regardless. You're a loser.
Bryan Russell 😂no he's not he got busted twice learn baseball bitch
Christ V half of the guys in the hall, used steriods. Lmao.
So happy A Rod got this title and played a huge role, he was so clutch this postseason after coming up short so many times before
Other than Bonds and Griffey, Arod may have had the best swing I've ever seen
I think he had the best right handed swing I have ever seen.
He doesn’t even have the best swing on the 2009 yankees
Venthos that’s debatable.
Babe ruth
Lefty: Ken Griffey Jr.
Righty: Manny Ramirez or A-Rod,I think
I don’t remember the picture quality being this awful for 2009
Sodi Bodil- there trying to make us feel old lol
I know right
God u dicks are spoiled
Jon Davis mlb sucks? Moron
i think mlb is not giving the best source they have. I have a collection of games from 2009, including a few yankees postseason games. the quality is way better than this video
I always lamented A-Rod because it seemed he was the last out more often than not, but he definitely did his thing that year
A Rod and Ken Griffin jr have the sweetest swing in baseball
A-bomb
Matsui saved his best performance for the last day of the season.
3:45 DJ Khaled.
Ha
Goddmn, that just made my day. Thank you. Lmao
LMFAO!!!
Charlie Walter lmao
DJ Khaled, we the best. I got donut.... Under my breast
I am a Yankees fan, this year I had a lot of personal issues and got kicked out of college for financial issues. A-Rod redeeming himself made me feel better and actually got me to get back on track.
He basically beat the twins by himself. Otherwise Yankees out in ALDS

Alex Rodriguez is a awesome Yankees he is a great of all time
2019 Yankees needs you
El swing más elegante de pelotero alguno dulce y con poder
3:44 “anotha one”😂
The first HR against Nathan. The look over and fist pump still give me chills that and buck calling his homer against the angels
According to haters Arod was the only player in major league history to take steroids.
Mato P no but he was Busted Twice learn baseball

@@MrBlue11900 :(
If Aaron Judge can have this kind of postseason this year…or even Stanton
ARod finally won a championship in 2009 for NY Yankees,about time
just an amazing run by A-Rod. one for the books wow
He had an incredible year and post season. No disrespect to Matsui, but ARod was the reason why we won the World Series.
Goat
The crowd was so loud in his ALDS Game 2 home run, that the audio technicians had to lower the volume. You don't see that often.
The one year A-Rod truly redeemed himself... until he started taking PEDs again in 2010, but that's besides the point.
I Like Your Awesome Comment Sir
i remember watching that AB from A Rod on TV late inning raining at the stadium and boom A Rod rupte
Someone should show this video to AARON JUDGE maybe he learns a few things.
The best ever
Best Steroid player eva
I am never an Arod fan, but he was so clutchy that year. I believe he would get more home runs without these intentional walks.
Arid had a great swing! It looked effortless for him to hit them out the park!
Had the camera not been there it really wasn’t THAT close, it clearly would have carried out
*cough* *cough* better be in the hall of fame, no question *cough* *cough*
The camera homerun was dope

CLUTCH
The gum chewing from that umpire was immaculate
2009 best year Yankees has ever had arod top five greatest Yankee of all time
With all due respect ,top five ?Are You are going based on stats ?
PED aside, my man rules.
Arod had that controversial status. He was the 1st instant replay for a Homerun in the regular season and the 1st instant replay for the playoffs. What are the odds in that
Arod is the best
Joshua Rosario CHEATER
At using PEDs
The best at cheating and taking roids
Anyone else remember Mauers “foul” ground rule double in that ALDS
Yeah that was a bad call
Angel Hernandez doesn't.
2nd hr here, fly ball well hit...?
Fly ball completely lit!
Arod single handedly won the world series.
I miss this season
I will NEVER FORGET the Game 2 ALDS or Game 2 ALCS homeruns. They were so damn clutch. I was SCREAMING.
The talent on the 2009 Yankees team was insane
Hideki Matsui🐐
Great year
The Best .
I could of sworn everything started to become HD in like 08' so this surprised me. Guess I was wrong
ckeller 89 I never had an HD TV back then, but I know for a fact this was in 16:9 because I saw a ball game at a friends house this same year in full 16:9
Free like OJ all Day ok cool I thought I was going crazy
RUclips compresses the video and plus the source is lower probably for upload speed
Kate Hudson - Whatever you did, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Matsui was the MVP of the world series. But A-rod was the mvp of the entire playoffs
Twins fan here..... ugh god damnit
3:56 that ended up being his last ever postseason HR
Forgot how clutch a lot of these were
He was the Terminator in 2009. Unstoppable
I know Jeter and A-Rod had their differences but if you notice every homerun Jeter was the 1st one high fiving A-Rod
As much as I can't stand Arod, great performance
Clutch year
We don't win in 2009 without Arod.
Imagine how much hate ARod would get if he didn't have the 2009 postseason in his resume.
My favorite player ever and of the best yankee sluggers the guy deserves hall of fame to bad cheated. Dammit arod
Matsui in his last year with the yankees he REALLY made it count.. He loved the yankees idk why they didnt resign him in 2010
That was the dynasty of the Phillies almost went to three World Series in a row
Opposite Jam shot homers? Wtf A Rod. This guy was really an incredible hitter. Now I truly believe he was hated on and made the fall guy during that suspension while Ortiz Got off easy
Arod is the bomb diggity yo
This was A Rods year
Why does the announcer sound the same after 10 years
2:06 nice
LOOOL
Greatest right hand hitter all time!
I was at game 2 alds
Np 22 Same, I was only 7 years old then. Now I am 15.
He redeemed himself
The first clip was already widescreen...
He wouldn't have been part of the 600 home run club, but I do think he could've still been part of the 500 home run club without steroids.
Remember this.
