Even after 28 years, this movie has lost NONE of its magic. I love this movie but even better than that is that I have gotten to share the experience with my boys.
And they dont have it on Disney plus bc it has angels in it...geez, disney has become such a joke. They had amazing movie classics throughout the 80, 90's, and early 2000's, especially. Then, once they recently made those comments, its been trash. I can no longer support anything they put out nowadays.
I think even as a kid the reason this got me to tear up was because it was like giving Mel one last glorifying moment before cancer took him. Bittersweet.
I think it was also partly regret over how he (Knox) treated Mel in Cincy (before the movie). Once he saw Mel deliver, he knew he should have had more faith in him
I always liked to believe that Mel’s last glorifying moment was winning the world series. This game was the division championship and to see who would go onto the world series
This meant so much to me you don't understand. First comment I saw, my dad loved it's a wonderful life. He also loved watching this movie with me as a kid when I played soft ball. He passed June 6th. Thank you, for the comment he wanted me to see now. Thank you for being his voice.
I’m deeply sorry for loss, I hope in he laying in peace. This movie is a just feel good family comedy at some points but has a very deep message to everyone that has seen it.
I always loved how the music was so dramatic and suspenseful before Mel pitches, and then it's just a simple piano sound as the ball travels. Beautiful scene and movie!

It's not just you; it is indeed satisfying! Not only having been a jerk to Knox since their MLB playing days, but he's a douche to Wally by constantly shutting off his microphone while he's talking and he's an A-hole to the stats lady by overreacting on not having stats when in fact he doesn't really need them instantly.
Oh, it's definitely not just you. Ranch Wilder is sort of the villain of this movie, so him getting his comeuppance is supposed to be satisfying. Disney really used to write great stories and knew how to write certain characters properly.
@@cesarcanete3402 It had been established earlier that there would be no angels at the championship. Roger and Knox came up with a plan to use the "Angel" signal to inspire Mel, but it was his win.
@@ConnellxSilverfur and also it showed us how much the team had improved overall. Remember, there were games where after they won, Knox looked at Roger to acknowledge the Angels help, only to be told they were never there
I loved the part where the kid, the coach, and the whole team on the bench are showing the pitcher the angel signal, even though there was no angel. Was a great scene although was not shown in this clip.
Knox's character development from angry coach to someone to admire and look up to is something to behold. Clark: There ARE angels! Knox: Not this time, Mel, YOU DID IT YOURSELF!
@@TheCgraham18 I think one of the best parts comes if you look at the phraseology. Knox could have simply left it as "Not this time, Mel!". Instead he added the last part which drives the point home that Mel Clark won the game for his team BY HIMSELF, and Knox KNEW that Mel was on his own, and decided to show faith in Mel anyways.
I was fortunate enough to meet Christopher Lloyd at Comicon in San Jose this year (2022). I have an autographed picture of him from this movie. There are several scenes in this movie that made me tear up, 2 scenes in particular were the one where AL checks up on Mel because of his cancer and will soon be joining them. The other is this scene, they end up winning the game all on their own and Mel ends his career with The Penant. There is one quote in particular that has always stuck with me, when AL says, “Even if you can’t see us, we’re always watching”. Gets me every time.
00:37 I love how it just goes silent with the final pitch and when the soft piano notes play when he throws the ball. Makes the moment a bit suspenseful

It does seem kind of weird that a guy that's openly bad mouthing the team on the radio and from what I remember had a less than stellar reputation with the Angels to begin with after an unsuccessful stint managing with them wasn't fired months or years ago
Every time l see this movie l've always held my breath when that ball is hit toward Mel, and Ranch getting fired is icing on the cake to make this scene great
I'll tell ya what...for as much as Ranch hated the team and was a jerk, his call right after Mel caught the ball saying he's got it and he can't believe it was really well done! It actually made the scene more dramatic and exciting imo. He actually sounded super pumped in the moment (even though he supposedly wasn't) if you listen to his tone.
Sign of a good broadcaster is being able to be caught up in the moment while painting a picture verbally for the listener. In short: the character of Ranch Wilder did things that real life broadcaster Joe Buck can't do.
I'm not knocking Angels in the End zone or the others made after this, but this movie was the only real one of them all. The right cast and the right feel. Arguably one of the best 3 baseball movies of all time. Love Sandlot, Field of Dreams, Major League, and A League of their Own, but in my opinion this was my #1 as a kid.
Lou Gehrig story is good. The one with the guy who shot his leg in a hunting accident was good too. Stratton? The Rookie. The Natural. Don't remember the name, but a black and white movie with a guy going through spring training to make the team.
Endzone had that "Disney Channel Movie" reel they were filming on, as opposed to High-Budget Hollywood cameras. The cast, save for Christopher Lloyd, were newer, younger folks without the star power of Danny Glover, Tony Danza, and others. Endzone was a spiritual successor, yes, but it totally lacked the atmosphere that the music and camera angles captured in Outfield.
Or not to mention the seven decades before that without ever winning a World Series and not even getting the benefit of being loveable losers like the Cubs and the Red Sox
I was rooting for the Angels that year. And I still call their home field "sports heaven". All because of this movie. I also call them the California Angels. I can't bring myself to call them the Los Angeles Angels, also because of this movie.
You know what's neat? I was at Kansas City when the Angels played the Royals that year in '02. Raul had struck a Grand Slam for the Royals. The Royals had won that game, top of the Ninth. Early in that game, when the Coach for the Angels realized how South they were that day, he gave the players on the field a stern talking to, microphoned and all. It was nothing like Danny Glover's meltdown early in the movie, but the comparisons could be drawn. So imagine my surprise when the Angels won that World Series that year. Made me think of this movie.
All that little boy wanted was his father I saw this as a kid now I have a kid how can pathetic lowlifes leave their kids when they need them the most it's really heartbreaking 💔
This movie was filmed at the Oakland Coliseum. There were more fans in these small screen shots than what currently shows up to watch the A's play there today...lol
Not anymore you’re not, Ranchy boy! (tears up Ranch Wilder’s contract to shreds) Now pack up everything that belongs to you, turn in your microphone and headset, and get out of Anaheim Stadium and never come back! And if you ever see Hank Murphy on the street, don’t call him Hank! You’ll never work in sportscasting again!
Imagine if this game was on National TV, how would some of the National commentators called it? And how would they have reacted to Ranch's meltdown in the both?
Being from Anaheim I always drive passed the Angel Stadium but I’ve never actually been in it… after all these years, this scene lets me see what it looks like inside…
The inside shots of the stadium were actually filmed at the Oakland Coliseum. I think it’s because the Rams were actually playing football at Angel Stadium during the time of filming
Even though they're both essentially just comedies, this and "Major League" are two of the best baseball movies ever made, and they came out within 5 years of each other.
Still gets me every time! I saw this movie in the theatre a few years after my dad passed and he was a HUGE baseball fan and ball player! Of course, Tony Danza as Mel Clark was a perfect fit, as he too used to play ball! ❤ ⚾️ 😇
1:05 - For all his negativity throughout the movie, Ranch Wilder did deliver a great game winning broadcast call. 1:50 - And he immediately reverts to his old self.
I feel so bad for kids these days. They don't make good sports movies for them anymore. I can't think of 1 honestly. I'm so glad I raised my son on movies like this, sandlot, mighty ducks, little giants, little big league, rookie of the year. We had it all. Its a shame.
Not anymore you’re not. (tears up Ranch Wilder's contract to shreds) Now pack up everything that belongs to you, turn in your microphone and your headset, and get out! Your services here at Anaheim Stadium are no longer required. You’ll never work in baseball broadcasting again.
Ranch: *angrily* YOU CAN'T FIRE ME! I GOT A CONTRACT! I'M RANCH WILDER! 😡😡😡😡😡 Me: Oh, shut the hell up, Wilder! You never believed in this team at all!
I remember when i caught a line drive like that when i was a pitcher. It was such a quick and clean catch and i couldnt believe i did it it was like an out of body experience
2:10 - Oh wow, never noticed before. When the players are walking off, the catcher (on the far right); he starts limping badly after another player tries to jump on his back.
In the movie, it's explained that when ranch and knox were players, ranch was involved in george's career ending injury. Whether it was intentional or not, they had been at odds and ranch just wanted george to fail as a coach.
What a great way for Mel to finish. Didn't know he had six months left before the cancer kills him, but he finished his baseball days on a high note. The angels that helped the team throughout the season did so to help get their confidence up and restore their faith in each other as a team. It was that faith and confidence that led the team to win the final game without divine intervention. The work of the angels was done and it was that exercise of faith that led Mel to end the game with that catch.
Here's me as the landlord of Howard Stern's studio in California from 1:48-2:02 Howard: [frustrated over the Los Angeles Lakers winning the NBA championship and looking on as his crew celebrates in excitement and does a karate chop on his desk in agitation] "I can't believe it!" Me: [walks in the door] "Howard?" [Howard waves and grins innocently but I'm not impressed on how many young women he had show him their naked bodies] "You're fired, buzz!" [Walks out slamming the door] Howard: [angry with me] "You can't fire me! I got a show to run! I'm calling Kim Kardashian!" Robin: [smiles in confidence] "Take it easy, Howard. Better start looking through those "want" ads."
I loved 90s baseball movies as a kid, especially this one. I always wondered, though, why the movies end with the main character’s team winning the pennant instead of the World Series.
I was just about to say 😅 They only won the division. They still had to get through the ALCS since this came out the year before the Wild Card and Divisional Series was introduced to baseball.
Rookie of the Year had the same problem but even worse because we're supposed to believe they won the WS even after their best pitcher and best reliever both suffered horrible injuries on the same day.

Not this time, Mel! You did it yourself!!
knowing that Mel is about to die six months later makes this even more heartbreaking
Joseph Gordon Levitt, Matthew McConaughey, Adrien Brody, and Neal McDonough. Love seeing the early beginnings of who are now very prominent actors.
Don't forget about Luis Guzman, he was the shortstop Martinez.
Martinez was actually played by Israel Suarbe.

The White Sox batter is none other than former 80’s star player Carney Lansford. He played for the California Angels from 1978-1980.
Must have been interesting for him hitting at the Oakland Coliseum where this movie was filmed
It would be interesting to find out which players were actual players in real life.
AL Batting Champion for the Boston Red Sox in 1981 and won a ring with the A's in 89. Guy could rake in his prime
Knox's character development from angry coach to someone to admire and look up to is something to behold.

It’s because turner broadcast owns the rights to it right now. It’s on tbs on demand

I feel so bad for kids these days. They don't make good sports movies for them anymore. I can't think of 1 honestly. I'm so glad I raised my son on movies like this, sandlot, mighty ducks, little giants, little big league, rookie of the year. We had it all. Its a shame.
"You can't fired me! I got a contract! I'M RANCH WILDER!"
Easy, Ranch. Less is more.
Not anymore you’re not.
(tears up Ranch Wilder's contract to shreds)
Now pack up everything that belongs to you, turn in your microphone and your headset, and get out! Your services here at Anaheim Stadium are no longer required. You’ll never work in baseball broadcasting again.
Your contact? We refuse to renew.
@@Frankie-O (tears up Ranch Wilder’s contract to shreds)
My Favorite Part. Ranch, You're Fired. Haha. 🤣
Ranch: *angrily* YOU CAN'T FIRE ME! I GOT A CONTRACT! I'M RANCH WILDER! 😡😡😡😡😡
Me: Oh, shut the hell up, Wilder! You never believed in this team at all!
Yeah many will disagree with me but this will always be my favorite baseball movie of all-time. A movie bigger than the game of Baseball.
this aged well for the 2002 angels
Omg I can remember having this movie on vhs 😟 the good old times
Reg when Mel caught that ball: “I don’t know if I’ll be putting this headset on again”
love at the very end ranch getting fired from his job, and the co announcer gets his time in the lime light as the new official voice for the angels
He refused to believe it.
I remember when i caught a line drive like that when i was a pitcher. It was such a quick and clean catch and i couldnt believe i did it it was like an out of body experience
2:10 - Oh wow, never noticed before. When the players are walking off, the catcher (on the far right); he starts limping badly after another player tries to jump on his back.
Wow good catch lol
@LOTR_RTTF If I remember correctly, didn't he have a bad knee, or something?
Uploaded on my birthday! Still love this film, and this scene in particular!
Ranch, you're fired.
Karma personified
Not even a “reason why I am firing you” speech? Cause that’s what real employers do.
@@puterboy2 No need. The comments over his radio say it all.
Thus entire movie gets me every time
Ranch probably bet with a bookie saying Angles would lose again that season ! Why he was so angry they won! 🤣
In the movie, it's explained that when ranch and knox were players, ranch was involved in george's career ending injury. Whether it was intentional or not, they had been at odds and ranch just wanted george to fail as a coach.
It would be really great if this Classic Movie was on Disney+ 😀⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
🤔⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
It's now on Disney plus!!!!
What a great way for Mel to finish. Didn't know he had six months left before the cancer kills him, but he finished his baseball days on a high note. The angels that helped the team throughout the season did so to help get their confidence up and restore their faith in each other as a team. It was that faith and confidence that led the team to win the final game without divine intervention. The work of the angels was done and it was that exercise of faith that led Mel to end the game with that catch.
Here's me as the landlord of Howard Stern's studio in California from 1:48-2:02
Howard: [frustrated over the Los Angeles Lakers winning the NBA championship and looking on as his crew celebrates in excitement and does a karate chop on his desk in agitation] "I can't believe it!"
Me: [walks in the door] "Howard?" [Howard waves and grins innocently but I'm not impressed on how many young women he had show him their naked bodies] "You're fired, buzz!" [Walks out slamming the door]
Howard: [angry with me] "You can't fire me! I got a show to run! I'm calling Kim Kardashian!"
Robin: [smiles in confidence] "Take it easy, Howard. Better start looking through those "want" ads."
one of the greatest mysterious has always been if the Angels went on to win the World Series.
They got blown out unfortunately
@@YTW-rw6pr lol. is that canon. and who swept them?..
1994 right? They beat the Expos in the WS.
I believe it's just a Fanfic about the 1994 MLB Season as told by Disney 🤣🤣🤣
I loved 90s baseball movies as a kid, especially this one. I always wondered, though, why the movies end with the main character’s team winning the pennant instead of the World Series.
😇 angel wins
The Pennant is the ALCS and the NLCS. . . . This game was the last game of the regular season. . . . Technically, they won the division
I was just about to say 😅 They only won the division. They still had to get through the ALCS since this came out the year before the Wild Card and Divisional Series was introduced to baseball.
I’d like to think the Angels riding this momentum they go on to win the World Series.
@@jameslisle7775 I would too.
Rookie of the Year had the same problem but even worse because we're supposed to believe they won the WS even after their best pitcher and best reliever both suffered horrible injuries on the same day.
@@bigbearkat2010 and they made their besy pitcher look like a bum. LoL
"there are angels!" I didnt realize thats what he said before we never got to see the angels but Mel did and he earned his wings amongst everyone
At Least Wally finally got to be the sole broadcaster because ranch wouldn’t let him be the sole broadcaster but keep the broadcasting for himself
Baseball, and this movie, are beautiful.
Hmmm Less is more? I wonder if I could convince my boss at work of that?
You can't fire me!! I got a contract!! I'm ranch wilder!!!!! Easy ranch, less is more. And the angels have won it!!
Hank Murphy? THANK YOU!
Ranch: I can’t believe it!
Murphy: Ranch.
(Ranch Smiles)
Murphy: You’re fired.
Ranch: You can’t fire me! I GOT A CONTRACT! I’M RANCH WILDER!
Wally: Easy, Ranch. Less is more. And the Angels have won it!
Not anymore.
(tears up Ranch Wilder’s contract into shreds)
Now pack up what belongs to you and get out!
When Cowboy Hank Murphy turned off his radio, I was immediately thinking, "bye bye, Ranch. You just called your last game."
Tell me if this sounds really crazy, but it is believed that I looked to this movie as an inspiration for the Phillies winning the 2008 World Series.
The man fielded his position.
1:49-2:09
*Ranch Wilder:* _(takes off headphones in frustration)_ I can't believe it! @ 1:49-1:53
*Hank Murphy:* _(enters commission booth)_ Ranch? _(Ranch turns to face him, grinning as though he supported the play)_ You're fired. _(exits commission booth)_ @ 1:53-1:56
*Ranch Wilder:* _(yells in range)_ You can't fire me! I got a contract! *_I'M RANCH WILDER!_* @ 1:56-2:03
*Wally:* _(cheerfully turns off Ranch's microphone)_ Easy, Ranch. Less is more. _(turns on his own microphone)_ And the Angels have won it! @ 2:03-2:09
Angels winning? Excellent news! Ranch Wilder booted? Satisfying.
Ranch Wilder is the villain in this movie. Like For Real.
I can’t believe that kid is John Blake from The Dark Knight Rises.
Don Jon actor AND director.
And that adult from the Sin City sequel along with Christopher Lloyd.
They just needed the confidence to believe in themselves
Faith, the most powerful thing!
1:52 Ranch......You're Fired
You can't fire me, I GOT A CONTRACT, IM RANCH WILDER!!!!!!!
Easy, Ranch. Less is more. (Switches on his own microphone) And the Angels have won it!
Love this movie.
I hate how Ranch just sat there while everybody was assisting Mel.
2:03 love this scene as well for Ranch Wilder what goes around comes around
He couldn't believe it? He didn't believe it.
I always wondered why they didn't end the movie with the Angels winning the World Series
Rip Mel Clark this made me cry so bad because I lost my grandpa in 2020 rip grandpa😭😭😭🥹
angels need to bring these uniforms back
1:52 Vince McMahon: “Ranch Wilder, YOU’RE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” 😡💢🔥🔊📣📢
Hey Ranch...YOU'RE FIRED
