So much more than a random backup catcher. Never seen a player become the heart of so many different organizations clubhouses. We love you, Stephen Vogt.
Yeah, such a shame after hitting his first 2 homeruns in the same game for the Braves, later in that same game, he got injured. Vogt was finding his groove when the injury occurred and really felt bad for him.
@@SchroederN8 he literally saved our catching spot. Without d'Arnaud for the last half of the season, all of our uninjured backups sucked ass behind the plate. Vogt didn't hit well, but the dude didn't make mistakes while actually catching.
Stephen Vogt was loved in San Francisco in 2019 even with a bad shoulder, the team he followed .. so glad he got a ring with the Braves, he will make one hell of a manager .. we believe in Stephen Vogt 🤘
I remember that same season in 2019 we were facing Boston in Fenway. The game was 13 innings. We won that and Stephen played catcher the entire game. I respect his hard Wark. Dude was also a clutch hitter that year.
In 2013 when he played with my A’s during our playoff run, this man was one of the reasons I fell in love with this game. I’ll never forget being 11 years old, yelling “I believe in Stephen Vogt” from the left field bleachers at the coliseum, Truly some of the best memories of my childhood
As an A's fan who still flinches at the mention of those playoff series against the Tigers, thank you Stephen. For us A's fans born in the 90's that walk off in '13 is about as good of a memory that exists and with us getting a new park being up in the air it may be the best we get. What a time it was to be a fan of this team and of Vogt who was the embodiment of us die-hards and those still drumming out in right field this season amidst a 100-loss season with no definitive future in Oakland.
Considering how well he's doing with Cleveland, that comment about him potentially being a fantastic skipper is another amazing prediction for the Happy Grape
I managed to get my mom into baseball by taking her to a bunch of A's games in the 2015 and 2016 seasons, watching those pretty awful teams of the time. Even as the young core developed in 17-19, Stephen Vogt remained my mom's favorite player. Partially because of his unusual story, partially because of his antics, but I think mostly because of his memorable chant and walkup music. My mom passed away last month, so Vogter announcing his retirement hit me especially hard. I will always appreciate him for being a big reason my mom and I came together around the A's in the past few years.
I hope he somehow sees this but we are diehard Rays fans- when he first came up he was in the middle of what ended up being I think an 0-26 slump to start his career- I had dugout seats for the first time in my entire fandom which I’ve been a fan since 98 so I’m as stoked. He had a rough game that day, believe he was 0-19 to that point and I remember he just got out and just stood there outside the dugout so obviously frustrated. He started to look around and looked up at the stands- I was also mad cuz I wanted us to win 🤣 we made eye contact and after a moment I gave him a quick raised fist like come man let’s you go you gonna get outta it- he sorta took a breathe and then nodded approvingly, I could tell he appreciated that- and then he eventually went on and tapped into his potential elsewhere. Always thought that was a cool moment and glad he had the career he had.
I'm gonna miss Steven Vogt, he was really an iconic part of the team during those years. Definately at least a local childhood legend to me. Screaming "I believe in Steven Vogt" alongside the stadium. The A's had a lot of momentum within the fanbase and it's really sad to see it fade away this year. I hope he has a great career with baseball after his retirement because he definately deserves it, always going to be one of my favorite players that's for sure. I'm quite sad that I didn't know he was retiring until now. Although I'm across the country from Oakland, I might call my parents and convince them to see an A's game just to see him play one last time before his retirement.
and now he’s the manager of the cleveland guardians, who were expected to end third but now have a bye in the postseason. he definitely deserves manager of the year
He had some beautiful moments this season, he also hit a 9th inning game tying home run against the Yankees a couple months ago which led to a EI win, I was there and it was an absolutely amazing moment as someone who’s been following the A’s and Vogt my whole life. My late father loved him and saying “I believe in Stephen Vogt” haha so that moment meant so much to me. Not to mention the absolutely storybook final game he had. Man, what a career Vogt. We love you
Stephen came to workout with my college during an offseason, and he is incredibly kind and hardworking, and it meant a lot to my team that he would come and hit with us, work with our catchers, and talk to us about anything baseball related. He even brought us some gear and signed a bat for the team. All around incredible person and player.
Made me realize why his farewell was so emotional and remarkable. Enjoy your retirement Vogt, you are someone who every overlooked and underrated person wishes to become someday.
“Watch your mouth when you’re talking about Nick Punto” LOL. Speaking of Nick Punto, I’d love to see a video about him. Favorite player growing up and the epitome of a scrappy underdog.
Everyone loved him in SF, I remember during the 2020 pandemic season when he was on the Dbacks I was listening to the game on the radio and the giants broadcast mentioned how happy they all were to see him again just to catch up. Seems like wherever he was he was the heart.
I can't believe it's been 10 years. I remember when he was called up on the rays and rays fans where rooting for him to get that first hit and we where so sad and deflated when he didn't. Glad he had a good career!
Loved having him on my Brewers for a brief time. I was sad he missed the 2018 season with them due to injury, but his impact on the team was absolutely present off the field and in the clubhouse during the regular season and the wild postseason run. He's going to make an amazing manager.
I had the pleasure of watching him play in a collegiate summer league here in Fort Collins, CO before he was drafted. He's definitely had the longest and most successful major league careers of anyone whose come through here so far. I didn't get to see his sense of hummer, but he was definitely a talented catcher. Hats off to him.
I love how all other baseball RUclipsrs have to acknowledge Foolish BB in their videos because they know if they don't every comment will reference a similar thing in one from one of his episodes.
I didn't get why I love Baseball until Stephen Vogt. He defined the Field of Dreams. Cornfield, Baseball, and in crazy Oakland WHILE I LIVED IN DETROIT.caught my eye Stephen Vogt is my ride or die Underdog
One of my absolute favorite productive role guys the A's ever had. I hope he gets brought into the staff and stays with the Oakland organization... he's amazing
What an incredible surprise, loved this video!!! 2012-2014 A's teams are my favorite baseball teams ever. Jack, hate to correct you but ... it's "Green and Gold" not "Gold and Green". Jerry needs to whip you into shape haha
His kids announcing him for his final big league at bat, which happened to be a homer, will always be one of my favorite baseball memories. I bet if you asked him he wouldn't want to end his career in any other way. Truly magical.
Stephen Vogt is a great manager led Guardians to the post season and clinch the League Division title and was so close to go to the World Series just came short
Vogt is and will always be my favorite player. He said it best, he was the best player, he was the worst player. I snuck out of work early to watch h his last game. His last at bat.....he homered. Fitting end to an amazing man. Home run for his 1st hit. Home run for his last hit. Thank you Vogt for being an amazing player and an amazing man!!!
Vogt was just unlucky that runners seemed to be dead set on injuring him just to try and make him drop the ball and yet despite this he still held on to it even as he slumped over in pain, You gotta admire that.
Man remember when the Oakland athletics were a perennial threat? They were the AL west for a long time, the Angels started surging, and finally Houston has taken the mantle. But there was a long period of dominance for the Green and Gold, even if it was ever so long ago…
He stepped into a braves lineup filling a role to stitch up a terribly injured team. I remember him crushing 2 dingers in a win before his season ended due to injury. He absolutely he deserves a ring as much as anyone on that roster because I dont think the braves get to October without him.
I'll always love Vogt. That man was a beacon of light on some nasty consistent roster turn over. So much fun to have around. A good player and good guy. I believe in Stephen Vogt
A lot of thoughts here as an A's fan ... -I came frustratingly close to nearly catching that homer off the Royals. -John Jaso should've been moved to DH once Vogt came up. Using a roster spot on a platoon DH is usually dumb, but he made that RHP lineup and his concussions were devastating. -As great as Vogt's Game 2 walkoff was, his strikeout against Scherzer in Game 4 still haunts me. -Before Vogt got DFAd in 2017, he played one last time in the outfield (left field, not right) and suddenly every ball got hit to him. It was hilarious, and he had way too much fun with it. Overall, Stephen's just an awesome guy. He played long enough for his kids to have some actual memories of him playing, and he's one of those religious people who uses his faith to love everyone, rather than hate people who are slightly different than him. I hope he enjoys a couple relaxing years with his kids and then has a great coaching career!
There was nothing bittersweet for Vogt playing in SF in 2019. He grew up a huge Giants fan and it was always his dream to play for the Giants. That was a bucket list season for him. Hopefully he’ll be the next manager of the Giants.
I became a Stephen Vogt fan during his run as a Diamondback. I was truly sad when the Diamondbacks let him go. Still a fan, and rooting for his success as a manager. I believe in Stephen Vogt.
Hurts to see the attendance rate for the Athletics, the final team he’s retiring for. He deserves a good sendoff. Also, the difference between Oakland in the earlier 2010s and now is….just depressing
Stephen Vogt is so underrated, like A's fans loved him, wanted the A's to win the world series... then got traded to the braves and sent them to a world series championship, such a hero!
Always will be a Brave to me. Brought some stability to a very volatile position in the World Series year and I'm so glad he was able to get a ring. Absolutely sucked watching him go down injured after having the game of his life
Appreciate u showing love to the A’s and their players too. Mostly all u hear is how shit our ownership and our stadium is. Some cool stories from the east bay. much love✊🏻
So much more than a random backup catcher. Never seen a player become the heart of so many different organizations clubhouses. We love you, Stephen Vogt.
Catchers are the only baseball players who truly work for a living.
As for Jolly mocking the idea of caring about something, feck him.
This video couldn’t have been uploaded at a better time with how his final at bat went it really was a storybook ending for him.
It ain’t over yet
Here two years later, as a Cleveland fan, to say we are so incredibly grateful to have him. Incredible guy, incredible mind.
He helped my Braves win the World Series last season. I’ll always appreciate Vogt
"Helped" is subjective 😂
Yeah, such a shame after hitting his first 2 homeruns in the same game for the Braves, later in that same game, he got injured. Vogt was finding his groove when the injury occurred and really felt bad for him.

Been an A's fan my whole life, this video meant alot to me.

I have a question, do you believe in Stephen Vogt?

Ah Stephen Vogt, a likeable guy. MLB needs more guys like him. Enjoy retirement Stephen. We'll miss you! Thanks for the vid on him Jolly!
Just won his first MLB game as our manager! I couldn't be more excited about our future with Vogt!
Our future is bright . Till the Dolans screw us again.
Considering how well he's doing with Cleveland, that comment about him potentially being a fantastic skipper is another amazing prediction for the Happy Grape
Nice!
Need a re-edit with the final homer to the same place as the first to cap off his magic career. Thanks for the memories Vogt! IBISV!
As an A’s fan thanks man! Really loved this video!

He’s from my town and is a standup guy. Works with the local high school teams and is very friendly. Our whole city loves and looks up to him

First player-name jersey I ever bought was Vogt in 2013, after seeing his walk off in the ALDS against the pesky Tigers. I BELIEVE.
Made me realize why his farewell was so emotional and remarkable. Enjoy your retirement Vogt, you are someone who every overlooked and underrated person wishes to become someday.
“Watch your mouth when you’re talking about Nick Punto” LOL.
Speaking of Nick Punto, I’d love to see a video about him. Favorite player growing up and the epitome of a scrappy underdog.

i’ve gotten the pleasure to meet him on multiple occasions and everytime he’s been the nicest dude out there
First hit in MLB - Home run
Last hit in MLB - home run
Full circle.
Probably not HOF material, but he’ll always be a favorite of the A’s fanbase.
It’s fitting that Kurt Suzuki was in this too given he is retiring. Loved Vogt, awesome vid

Stephen grew up in my hometown. This video hits hard. Congrats on a great career Vogt
I love how all other baseball RUclipsrs have to acknowledge Foolish BB in their videos because they know if they don't every comment will reference a similar thing in one from one of his episodes.
Thanks for making this video man. Hell of a way to close out the final season for Vogt and potentially the last time we see them play in the coliseum
He was my catching coach in Seattle, such a standup guy
I didn't get why I love Baseball until Stephen Vogt. He defined the Field of Dreams. Cornfield, Baseball, and in crazy Oakland WHILE I LIVED IN DETROIT.caught my eye
Stephen Vogt is my ride or die Underdog
My brother played with him at APU. He was always a class act and a great guy.
Wait, a Jeff Mathis Easter egg, a big guy catcher hitting a triple, are you SURE we’re not watching Foolish Baseball?
Dudes got monsterous shoes to fill, and yet, I believe in Steven Vogt. Lets go Cleveland!
Welcome to Cleveland!
You don’t know how good it feels as an A’s fan to see footage of the Coliseum packed
One of my absolute favorite productive role guys the A's ever had. I hope he gets brought into the staff and stays with the Oakland organization... he's amazing
What an incredible surprise, loved this video!!! 2012-2014 A's teams are my favorite baseball teams ever. Jack, hate to correct you but ... it's "Green and Gold" not "Gold and Green". Jerry needs to whip you into shape haha
Would've loved to hear some love for Brandon Moss. Underappreciated whenever these Oakland teams get mentioned
His kids announcing him for his final big league at bat, which happened to be a homer, will always be one of my favorite baseball memories. I bet if you asked him he wouldn't want to end his career in any other way. Truly magical.
You've got a great voice for baseball content imo, would love to hear audio with less cuts, your cadence is natural, would love to hear the flow
Stephen Vogt is a great manager led Guardians to the post season and clinch the League Division title and was so close to go to the World Series just came short
Huge respect for this guy really saw what he was when he played for the Braves!
And now he’s Cleveland’s manager! He just got his first career ejection after a very questionable balk call that scored a run
And he hit a HR in his last at bat. A great ending of career for a great human being.
Soon to be cleveland legend

The dude won me my fantasy baseball league so I’m a fan
How in the world do you have Vogt?
It's so crazy to watch some of these plays going on in the background and be like "oh! I was at that game!"
You see that last AB Jolly!!!! First ever knock in the Coliseum and also his last ever AB...both in the right field porch!
Welcome to Cleveland ⚾️❤️⚾️!
A’s fans deserve so, so much better. I hope there’s better times ahead.
Dude Stephen Vogt may be my favorite player ever! Not only is he awesome and hilarious, but he was a great giant as well!
Welcome to Cleveland, Stephen.
Vogt was just unlucky that runners seemed to be dead set on injuring him just to try and make him drop the ball and yet despite this he still held on to it even as he slumped over in pain, You gotta admire that.
I honestly never heard of this guy! I’m glad I have now!
Watching the A’s game tonight and thought of this. Vogt was a beauty. Let’s go Oakland!
Man remember when the Oakland athletics were a perennial threat? They were the AL west for a long time, the Angels started surging, and finally Houston has taken the mantle. But there was a long period of dominance for the Green and Gold, even if it was ever so long ago…

Never followed the As but this was incredibly heartwarming
Who’s here after he hit a HR in his final AB?
Love this! ❤
I had no idea. Fantastic vid
I'll always love Vogt. That man was a beacon of light on some nasty consistent roster turn over. So much fun to have around. A good player and good guy. I believe in Stephen Vogt
And Jolly was right. Won manager of the year in his first year as skipper

He is now on the Seattle Mariners coaching staff. He will be a great coach in seattle!
So pumped to have him as my clubs manager in 2024
used to go to river cats games and saw vogt catch a few times
I believe
Love IBISV T-shirt! Also, he hit a solo shot as I was watching this. What a guy!
