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.
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.
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.
On a school night while in elementary school, when I just had football practice after school. I couldn’t wait to get home to watch this. These games were everything to us kids who watched.
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.
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!
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
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 😢
@@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).
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.
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.
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...⚾️👍😁
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.
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.
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.
I can only imagine that the 4 Lexington Avenue Express (IRT Jerome Avenue Line) and D 6th Avenue Express (IND Concourse Line) trains were extremely crowded at the 161st St-Yankee Stadium stations, both elevated and underground that night.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Reggie Jackson took out a couple of fans with NFL-like offensive blocks as he was running off of the field ...... his own health is the first priority.
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.
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?

The unusual batting stances, the handlebar mustaches, the 2 hour 9-inning games, I love 1970's baseball.
