  • 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.

      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.

      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.

      @@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).

    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!

    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.

  • @mrt1626
    @mrt1626 7 месяцев назад

    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.

    • @epaddon
      @epaddon  7 месяцев назад

      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.

      That would make for a pretty good Game 7.

      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.

      @millypoo7713 8 месяцев назад

      @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.
