- There are a number of versions of this great game out there, but for this one I used several different sources to provide a near-uncut broadcast as I could from opening to closing credits. There is also a brief recap of the game that aired several days later by Jim Lampley on another ABC Sports program.
I saw this game on TV back in 1977. I was only allowed to watch the first three innings before bedtime in the Atlantic Time Zone. My parents woke me up for the bottom of the eigth, and all I can say is watching Reggie's third home run of the game was magical to this Yankee fan. A moment I'll cherish for the rest of my life.
My step father would bring the television out for the World Series and Super Bowl.
An occasional fight.
The unusual batting stances, the handlebar mustaches, the 2 hour 9-inning games, I love 1970's baseball.
Baseball in the 70's was still hugely popular.
Football had passed it in television audiences, but baseball was still a big part of sports and pop culture in general.
Don’t forget the 2-hour games that would start at *8pm* and end by *10pm*!
Who doesn’t miss Keith Jackson doing baseball for ABC? RIP Tom Seaver!
Who doesn’t just miss the times in general? So much better than the garbage today
Me
Chambliss awesome
Peter doesn't
Not my favorite announcer, I just considered him OK. It is tempting to dislike him, for pronouncing Yankees as "Yangkizz" about 1000 times during this broadcast.
I was at this game, at age 20 during a year off from college, very close to where Reggie's last HR landed, 4 seats to the right of one of the guys climbing the fence. They were having an adrenalin rush making them want to get the ball, before they realized people on the other side were going to beat them to it, so it wasn't worth getting thrown out or arrested unless they ended up with the ball!
This is the first time I've watched the ABC telecast of the entire game (albeit, with commercials and other dead spots edited out.). TV resolution back then wasn't what it is now, but I've never seen a clearer version than this one.
In 45 years, I've not run across even one high-resolution photograph which shows me in the crowd there. Sure would be nice to find one where I can positively ID myself, preferably right when the ball is landing.
For me , the 1970's will always be the best decade for baseball. I guess because the players were less scrutinized about stats back then , not to badly over paid , more relaxing to watch back then , no computer generated strike zone box , less father to son players/nepotism/ ,less police security and the fans were more laid back and cool. Also , I was in my 20's thru most of the 1970's.
Seeing Thurm and Joe D, brought a tear to my eyes......
Keith Jackson was good. WAY BETTER than anything today.
Maybe so, but for Baseball, I’d rather have Joe Garagiola and Tony Kubek.
@@Jiltedin2007 Michaels was the best baseball announcer had and they sidelined him completely. But the worst thing was that Arledge shoved Cosell onto the broadcasts and took advantage of a loophole to ignore the Commissioner's request that local announcers be used on the telecasts as had been the case in the past. In the end, Bill White and Ross Porter were given worthless crumbs of pregame and postgame analysis (both did the Series on CBS Radio in the opposing team's park). But it should have been Scully and Phil Rizzuto having a role in these games (and definitely not Tom Seaver who was put on the games only because of Arledge's obsession with stars and not broadcast competence).
R.I.P.: Keith Jackson, Tom Seaver and Howard Cosell.
R.I.P. Joe Dimaggio , Thurman Munson , Billy Martin
And the Penguin running
@rafaelramirez1507 Man Thurman Munson, he was my favorite player in the 70's.
Game 6 of the 1977 World Series is one of my favorite Baseball Classics. That was the year I was born. I was born in New York City on January 27th, 1977. I was born six months premature. October 18, 1977 was Reggie Jackson’s big night. Howard Cossel , a fellow New York City Native, was on the call that night.I watch this classic over and over again. It stands the test of time in baseball history. I own a Reggie Jackson t shirt, that I bought at a sports store last year. One of my favorite classic games!
This game is a classic. It had it all. Icons left & right. Game 6. Yankee Stadium. Bronx. Reggie. Howard. Billy. La Sorda. Could go on. Nirvana.
I was May 4th, 1977. I was Star Wars Day before the movie was even released
You were born at 6 months I hope not 6 months premature that would impossible I would think
@@bigt5699 I meant to say that this game6 in 1977 was Played nine months after I was born.
@@donnellevansjr.1423 👍
Remembering these series as a kid, whenever I heard commentators call the name "Thurman Munson", my brothers and I joked that they were saying "Herman Munster". We were sad to hear of his passing in 1979 😢
remember watching this game with my dad like it was yesterday, excited beyond belief that our home town yankees won the championship, 7 yrs old glory days...reggie launching 3 homers on 3 swings, cosell The Bronx is Burning!! magic
My favorite World Series!
The defining game in Yankee history whether they like it or not.
Classic World Series game. Mr. October with 3 home runs. What can I say. REG-GIE REG-GIE REG-GIE 👏👏👏
Perhaps the greatest offensive display in baseball history
SPORTS HISTORY.
That was the most 70’s intro I have ever witnessed
It’s nice to read that someone had the same thought I did, two years prior. :)
That run into the dugout by Reggie was pretty incredible too!
These classes make me want to hop in my time travel machine and go back lol
at 22:00 u hear the addams family
I’m with you Daniel
@@carlthetruthwilliams7043 …..I’m sure you probably not the Dwight Gooden but watch out for the dates Sam struck too
Absolutely love this theme song 💥
The team of my childhood...love at first sight...let's go Yankees! Reggie Reggie Reggie
I grew up in NYC .... Such Great memories....I was only 7.
I toured the stadiom 13 years ago on the last day ever for tours of the historic park where the Series was won.
Reggie invented swag!
I have watched this many times...What a performance by Reggie!!
Robert Merrill's voice and that stadium echo gives me goose bumps. Mr October's 3rd home run crowd reaction.... Wouldn't hear that again until probably Aaron Boone's walk off.
Didn't realize Tom Seaver was already preparing for a second career after baseball as he often worked playoff games when he was not in the postseason himself. Ironically, after his playing career ended given his association with the Mets, he actually was a play-by-play voice for the Yankees for a few years.
Thank you especially for including the intro.
Fortunately when YES replayed the game they included it and left out a ticker scroll for that part only! That's why I was able to graft it into this "ultimate" version.
I remember watchin this game on a little B & W television in my room back then...I was eight.
Amazing Mike Torrez stat: In 1975 for the Orioles, Torrez was 20-9 with a 3.06 era in 36 starts with 16 complete games. Here's the amazing stat: He pitched a whopping 270.2 innings that season, but only struck out 119 batters while walking an MLB high 133. He also allowed 238 hits and his WHIP was 1.371. He obviously pitched out of a lot of jams with all of those base runners, but still managed to win 20 games with a solid era. I looked up his career stats, and Torrez walked over 100 in a season six times and led MLB in walks 3x. For his career in 3043.2 innings pitched, Torrez had only 33 more strikeouts than walks... 1,404 to 1,371... but his career record was 185-160. One of those pitchers who was effectively wild.
Reggie Jackson never took a strike the entire game...walked on 4 straight pitches and then hit the 1st pitch on each of his three homers..Epic WS for Mr. October...⚾️👍😁
Nobody
.. nobody trotted the bases better after an HR than jackson
Crazy how in 2021 dodgers still play in that stadium. 1977, you didn't want to be in those Bronx streets at all. Crime at a all time high. Love NYC
The greatest game Ive ever seen anyone have, in any sport.
There have been several monumental performances through the decades.
But, Reggie's stands alone on the summit.
I was there at the game. It felt like the place was coming apart. The crowd was louder that night. I could feel it. My team put me on cloud 9 that night.
Many people in Brooklyn and Long Island were still dodger fans.
After Reggie Smith launches his bomb in the third inning, during the replay, Tom Seaver describes the pitch as being "right down the old poop chute", which is hilarious.
A huge key to the Yankees winning this World Series in Game 6 despite losing Game 2 at Home was winning 2 of 3 in Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. If the Yankees didn't win 2 of 3 in Los Angeles even if the Yankees won Game 6 it still would have had to go to Game 7.
I can only imagine that the 4 Lexington Avenue Express (IRT Jerome Avenue Line) and D 6th Avenue Express (IND Concourse Line) was extremely crowded at the 161st St-Yankee Stadium stations, both elevated and underground that night.
The only full World Series Keith Jackson would ever do.
Next year, Tom Seaver was “traded” to NBC for Don Drysdale, who would go on to work for ABC for 8 years.
What about 79 and 81
@@goldeneve he shared those Fall Classics with Al Michaels.
Jackson would do games 1,2,6,7and Michaels 3,4,5 in 1979 and 1981.
The 1979 series finished in 7 and the 1981 series finished in 6, so Jackson announced the championship game those times.
Another Seaver “trade” I didn’t like!
Part of the reason Al Michaels and Keith Jackson split play by play duties was so that Jackson could continue to do college football on Saturdays.
@@paulsonj72 And I have to admit that rigid devotion to college football, which even extended to skipping playoff games in 76 and 81 etc. never sat well with me as someone who isn't much of a college football fan and wants baseball to come first. Jackson was okay, but he was never a true baseball announcer in the way Michaels was and IMO ABC should have made Michaels the #1 baseball guy from the outset.
Wish I was older than a 1 year old toddler when this game took place..😕 would have been awesome to see it live.
I do miss baseball being on ABC and the theme song the 1970s was the best
The Bronx was burning during one of those games, how nice.
For those who would say that the game is trash in 2021 let's not forget that Reggie is *still* the career leader in strikeouts. How much would have he struck out today?
Having said that, this is a filthy display of power. He would fit in very well in today's game imo.
Reggie Jackson wasn't a one dimensional player.
at least he wasn't a cheater loaded up with steroids' Reggie could have played in any era of baseball
I remember watching this series at 8 years old in LA and the Dodgers broke my heart, and this is year I started hating the Yankees, still do to this day, and hated them even more after the 1978 season, Dodger fan for life.
2:16 Howard Corsell has a surprise for Keith Jackson
1963- the last time the Dodgers won the world series at home against the Yankees
1977- the last time the Yankees won the world series at home against the Dodgers
what does Tom Seaver say at 36:39, great journalism and choice of vocabulary
I so love Keith Jackson intros on baseball.
Me too.
I remember coming home after playing basketball 🏀 at the community gym, and my brother ( RIP) telling me, I missed it, REGGIE HITTING 3 HOME RUNS!!!!
I remember my Met fan friend telling me the Yankees had no chance trying to hit Burt Hooton.
We were ten years old but we had strong opinions, however wrong they might be.
as great as these 3 Reggie Jackson home runs were, my all-time favorite home run was hit by Reggie on the 1978 Yankee Stadium season opener. As a stadium promo, all the fans received Reggie Bars. And on the first pitch of his first at bat of the game, Reggie did it again, HOME RUN!!! The crowd went wild!!! And as Reggie was rounding the bases, everybody was throwing their Reggie Bars onto the field. While chanting...."Reg-gie!!! Reg-gie!!! Reg-gie!!!" I wish some one could post footage of that on youtube.
Yankee fans did something similar back in the '20s when Babe Ruth hit a homer. As Ruth was running the bases, the men threw their fedora hats onto the field.

47 years later, I feel like I'm 16 again. I loved the Yankees back then. As abnoxiuus Reggie was that year, I'll never forget watching what he did in Game 6. RIP Thurman and Billy. Thanks for posting.

I miss Keith Jackson more doing NBA Basketball.
The last baseball game for organist Toby Wright. He resigned after this game.
1:57:57 Keith pulls a Vin Scully. Mark’s the time of history happening.
I hope someone asked Lasorda what he thought of Reggie's performance.
RJ hit those bombs off from Burt Hooten, Elia Sosa, and the knuckler, Charlie Hough. Ross Porter and Vin Scully broadcasted this on the radio as I listened to this broadcast in Hawaii, on the radio. The television telecast was aired three hours delayed that night in Hawaii. This was a historic night and moment for RJ and the Yankees. Winning pitcher, Mike Torrez, was awesome, but he signed with the Boston Red Sox after the 1977-World Series.
Ross Porter and Win Elliott actually did the call on CBS Radio. Vin turned down doing the series games on radio in NY because he wouldn't have been allowed to do all the games of the WS.
Game Intro (Jackson, Cosell, Tom Seaver (2:00), Joe DiMaggio first Pitch 6:00) Three homers by Reggie Jackson (50:20 agains Burt Hooton) ( 1:10:00 against Elias Sosa) and (1:40:00 against Hough) and gamed interview (2:02:00).
Even after all these years...i wish Cosell would be silent..lol
1:56:41 The Final Out
Same time next year!
Reggie Jackson’s greatest game of his life!
Enjoyed. Thank you
1:56:55 check out the Yankees running back Reggie Jackson running all the way into the end zone
before smart phones made everyone so stupid, better cars, better TV, better music, better movies, 2021 stinks.
Really, maybe just you😂
I remember the 1976-1978 run vividly...when the Yankees became the YANKEES again.
From The ESPN'S Original Series The Bronx Is Burning In 2007
70s Charlie Hough looks like 90s Charlie Hough undercover as a hippie.
Taco Tuesday October 18, 1977, the Yankees win the World Series!
Reggie Jackson of the Yankees an Chuck Foreman of the Vikings was the Reason that i Wore # 44 in the 1970's
Is this about when the ceremonial first pitch started being thrown from the mound rather than from one of the box seats?
I think it just depended on the individual. The next year Mrs. Lou Gehrig and then Bob Hope threw it out from the box seats.
No scewing around between pitches-- refreshing.
Dan Shaughnessy Boston writer (perm) behind the Bill White interviews? Who is the big face goof with the souvenir batting helmet?
Commentators:
Keith Jackson, Howard Cosell & Tom Seaver.
I was a little over a month old....
Billy was under tremendous pressure to win the World Series as George probably would have fired him. But before Game Six Billy got a call to meet GM Gabe Paul in his office and was told the Yankees were extending his contract that included a $35K bonus a new Lincoln Continental automobile
and paying his rent on his residence. People who saw Billy that night said he actually looked somewhat relaxed for the first time in a long time.
At 1:46:40 the organist starts playing the Star Wars theme.
Ironically, Star Wars came out in the same year the New York Yankees won their 21st World Series Pennant: 1977!
A starting pitcher today would NEVER work nine innings in a World series today.
Don’t tell that to Bumgardner.
Does anyone know if that white guy with the batting helmet is? Wonder if he's still alive?
KEITH JACKSON WHOAAA NELLIE I MISS THAT GREAT VOICE
@2:02:11 a young Dan Shaughnessy looking like Napoleon Dynamite.
What happened to Reggie's cap
Boy! Do I miss the original Yankees Stadium.The house that Ruth built. And Gherig, and DeMaggio, et alll...
you would think after jacksons 3rd home run cosell would have shut up and let the picture do the talking. but not him. the worst announcer in sports history
Do you have other full games of 1977 World Series with National Anthems?
Got enough ads jammed in there? Sheesh.
Do you have the 1977 games in Los Angeles, including the National Anthem? Game 6 was cool.
Whoa Nellie!
Anytime I get to see the dodgers lose... all good! #beatla #sfgiants #gogiants
Love the Star Wars theme played by the legendary Eddie Layton at 1:46:47
Actually Toby Wright was the Yankee organist. He left after the 77 season and Layton returned after an eight year absence the following year.
@@epaddon thanks. I didn’t know that.
Bestwordseriesever
Cosell blurting out Garvey and lopes receiving death treats. good thing you tell everyone howie.
It was NY in the 1970s ,death threats were the requisite norm.
I've always wondered what pitcher Billy Martin would have chosen to start Game 7 - if there had been a 7th game.
I wondered this because the Dodgers should have won game 1 when Garvey was clearly safe at home but was called out in the 6th inning.
LA would have won that game 4-3 in 9 and then the series would have been tied at 3 games each after Game 6.
But Martin didn't have many options for a Game 7 Starter.
He could have gone with Guidry on 3 days rest but he wasn't effective on short rest.
Hunter could have been available but he had a sore shoulder and was rocked by Dodger Hitters in Game 2. Although he only pitched 2 1/3 innings in Game 2 he also threw 2 innings in Game 5, but he could have been ready to pitch Game - if his shoulder held up.
AND THEN, there was Ed Figueroa who did not pitch at all in the 77 WS.
Would love to hear anyone's thoughts on this and/or what they recall about any chatter as to who Martin would start.
Actually, if there'd been a Game 7 it would have been rained out the next night because there was a downpour in NY. So Martin would have had Guidry available on four days rest.
@@epaddon Really? Wow! Then he definitely would have started Guidry. - Thanks for the info.
I'm guessing LA would have started Tommy John as it was his turn in the rotation.
That would make for a pretty good Game 7.
@@epaddonHello again. I was curious what the weather in New York was like for the rest of that week in October. Weather Report Archives show that NY only got a half inch of rain on the 19th.
That sound right?
@@mrt1626 I really don't know off-hand. However, check my posting of the WPIX Action News (audio only) from after Game 6 and their weather forecaster Roberto Tirado mentions that there was no way Game 7 would have been played. ruclips.net/video/WQHVuS1yySQ/видео.html
Billy martin looks like one of bundos kids😮
Do you have full version of Game 3, 4 and 5?
Can't put those up for reasons I can't explain.
@@epaddon National anthems at least?
Sparky Lyle pitched in games 1 & 2, and then never pitched again in this World Series. Why?
Because the starting pitchers in Games 3, 4 and 6 pitched strong enough to go the distance and Game 5 was a blowout where Lyle would have been wasted.
@epaddon Yes, I know that. I was asking because I thought maybe Lyle got hurt. And, Mike Torrez labored through that 9th inning in game 6. Martin could have easily brought in Lyle to close it out, but starting pitchers were given the opportunity to complete their own games back then as evidenced here.
@@millypoo7713 It just wasn't Martin's nature to go for the quick hook. He left Gullett in to pitch the 9th in Game 1 even after Gullet put the tying run on base and that ended up backfiring on him and resulted in the game going extra innings.
@epaddon And 3 years later as manager of the A's, their starters had a modern day record 94 complete games. NEVER to be broken!
I know the Dodgers won it last yr. But how many have they lost?
2:12:13. Hey Jim, it was 15 yrs,not 16. Don't believe Russo, the Yanks beat the Giants in '62
I kinda liked Cosell but him and baseball were an odd combo, you could tell he wasn't a baseball fan.
The Reggie Jackson Game
The Yankees had their asses kicked by the big red machine the year before in 76, no way that was happening again in 77
