Papa Meags The Thoroughbred triple crown is when a single horse who wins the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and The Belmont Stakes. Before American Pharaoh (2015) the last horse to win the triple crown was Affirmed in 1978
For context to all non-baseball fans (and Papa): -The David Freese game is the equivalent to the David Tyree catch. A relative nobody comes out of nowhere to save the season down to their last out. -Derek Jeter (while not the Michael Jordan of baseball) had a HoF career as baseball's media darling with the New York Yankees. In the last home game of his career, a well past his prime Jeter walks the game off by hitting a single to the opposite field (a classic Jeter at bat). -Bartolo Colon, nicknamed Big Sexy, was a loveable pitcher for a few teams throughout a long and pretty good career. As a pitcher, he was not paid to be good at hitting and looked completely unathletic most of the time. As a fat 40+ year old man, he hit his first and only career homer off of a pretty good pitcher. -Roy Halladay (RIP dawg) became a beast with a shitty team and never made the playoffs until that year, and threw a no-hitter in his first career playoff game, which at the time was only the second in the playoffs ever. -Marlins ace pitcher Jose Fernandez died in a boat accident and in the first game the team played since, no-power Dee Gordon hits a home run in his teams very first at bat. The pitcher he hit it off? Yup, Big Sexy. -Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs died of opioid overdose during the 2019 season. On the night his team memorialized him at the stadium following his passing, the Angels pitchers throw a combined no-hitter (a team no-hitter but with multiple pitchers instead of just 1). -Ichiro is arguably the greatest Japanese baseball player ever, and is the most well known in the states (prior to Ohtani). After dominating the Japanese baseball league during his early and mid 20's, he came and played in America and built a Hall of Fame career here alongside his Hall of Fame numbers in the Japanese league. His last game is an MLB game that was specifically set to take place in Japan to honor his legacy. -He skipped the Evan Longoria one. As a Red Sox fan, I don't wanna talk about it. -Noted bad man Jose Bautista drops the nastiest bat flip of all time after going yard to basically win the ALDS and advance to the equivalent of the conference finals (ALCS). Fun fact, I actually called this home run. There's quite a bit of context as to why this moment is special, but I don't want to write an essay. If you want to know more, watch this video and read the comments: ruclips.net/video/3ANE-fJK8PU/видео.html&ab_channel=TorontoBlueJays -Another noted bad man Edwin Encarnacion hits a walk off homer to win the ALDS. 2015-2016 were the first 2 years that Toronto had made the playoffs since 1993, hence why the fans are going nuts in both this and the last clip. -David Ortiz (Big Papi) hits a grand slam to turn the tides on both this game and series. An out here means Boston likely loses this game and falls into an 0-2 hole in a best of 7 ALCS. Instead, they win this game and proceed to ride the wave to a 3rd World Series win in a 10 year span. Not included but should be: Cubs World Series win after 108 years, Altuve going yard off of Aroldis Chapman, Dallas Braden's perfect game on Mother's Day, and a personal favorite, the Tyler Naquin inside the park walk-off homer. Happy to elaborate more specifically if anyone has questions about one of them.
another fun one thats not included is the delmon young double for the orioles against the tigers in the 2014 playoffs i believe. that crowd was electric.
6:24 for context, Bartolo Calon is a pitcher. Pitchers in the MLB aren’t generally great hitters. He played for an NL team, and a few years back the NL did not allow for a designated hitters, so pitchers had to bat. However, the AL did use designated hitters, the rules went to the home team. However the rules have since been changed, and designated hitters are allowed throughout all of the MLB.
Don't forget he was in the league like 18 years before this and had not hit one. Majority of his at bats ended with him and his helmet falling off as he nearly fell over
Matt, for context, Katie Ledecky is the GOAT of female swimming. It’s not uncommon for swimmers during longer races to get strung out. But she’s so fast, she is that far ahead. And Caeleb Dressel in recent years has been one of the most dominant sprinters and flyers in the world. And breaking Phelps WR was his first WR and massive for him.
For context, the Triple Crown is when a horse wins the three biggest races in American horse racing: the Kentucy Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes (hence why the race is at Belmont Park). Since 1919, there have 13 Triple Crown winners, and American Pharaoh was the 12th, and Justify is the most recent.
@@alexanderbyrd3658 maybe not Isiah but for sure not MJ, it’s either Barry, Willie Mayes, Babe Ruth (though he played against plumbers), hank Aaron, and maybe but not really Ohtani.
Papa, the context of the home run from that skinny guy was that there was a young pitcher who passed for the team that everyone loved, so in the next game his best friend on the team hit one of his very few career home runs
The thing you gotta understand is that almost all kickers in college can’t make like 55+ field goal unlike in the nfl, so to make a 63 yarder in college is nuts
I definitely recommend going to a baseball game especially the playoffs. You should go to a good game with two great teams with insane fan bases (Ex: Phillies, Yankees) You just hear slurs, insults, and curses being thrown around while the volume is at like 150 decibels while people are chucking up home runs, it’s insane
Belmont park is right outside of NYC and bro goes is that in the middle of Castlevania. It’s also right next to UBS Arena (Where the New York Islanders play)
MMG. The story of Tyler Skaggs is that he was one of the best players coming out of high school. He went to Santa Monica High School and went to the angels. Made his way up through the minors and as soon as he got to the majors he overdosed on drugs. Therefore they were honoring his death. He has a mural outside of Santa Monica High School
Context: 2016 AL Wildcard game. Winner goes onto the playoffs, loser’s season is over. It’s the 2nd overtime and Encarnacion mashes a walkoff homer. The orioles had the best closing pitcher in the MLB that year and he was getting warmed up to enter the game. 18:15 Edit: The video has the wrong title for this moment. It’s for sure the 2016 AL Wildcard game, I was there.
The Jose fernandez one, Fernandez was the Marlins best pitcher and one of the leagues best pitchers before a boat accident killed him at 23, then in the marlins next game, while wearing his jersey as tribute they lead off with a homer, like Hines returning the kickoff after the Damr Hamlin incident
The context of the baseball ones with Tyler Skaggs and Jose Fernadaz is that they both passed away and they honored them by wearing their number and name in their honor
0:24 if I'm remembering right Nelson Cruz (the right fielder who missed the catch) was supposed to be playing farther back in case something like that happened but he decided to play farther in to "be closer to the celebration"
Back until a couple years ago, pitchers hit in the National League (now there is a designated hitter). Bartolo Colon was a pitcher and finally hit a homerun when he was really old. The only HR of his career.
The triple crown in horse racing is when a horse win the same 3 year old horse (usually a male) wins the Kentucky Derby, than in two weeks wins the Preakness, and than in three weeks wins the Belmont
Papa. I want you to know that the-Dbacks are currently in the postseason. So take a look they could be moving on to the next round at the time of me typing this. So if I were you I'd look into a D-backs postseason home game. It's gonna be lit
Odell’s catch was historic don’t get me wrong but I think Julian Edlemen’s Super Bowl catch against the falcons is the greatest catch ever especially because of the role that catch played
The time it takes to compile clips like this and put it into video format takes dedication to whoever made that. Anyhow for the soccer (football) World Cup moments in 2010 and 2014 it was basically USA winning group stage games on both occasions
@@tud21 I know but if the best sports moments says US best moments cause in soccer much better moments happened like Ronaldo’s winning first Portugal trophy, 7-1, Barcelonas comeback, Leicester Premier title,Etc
@@bsfm6990 I agree but I think you have to put it in perspective. Not every great moment is winning a trophy. For example Australia making it out of the group stage at the wc. That’s a historic moment not only for Australia but for everybody interested in the sport. Same for the us passing the group stage
@@tud21 not all the moments I said was of them winning trophies additionally I think is only from the 2010s so Australia wouldn’t count, but if you want to include something Costa Rica topping the group of death in 2014 was pretty special or Germany out in groups in 2018 also plus you can put some of bale’s or Ronaldo’s bicycle kick, Liverpool comeback, etc I think this was just pure us moments
@@eliyarrows2456 i know that im just saying his career is like a movie. 3000th hit homerun. multiple clutch plays and walk off in his last game. it just seems like a baseball movie if they were to make one like that
Papa the triple crown is basically just winning the three biggest horse races, like the closest thing in football would be like if a Michigan high school team was the high school national champion, Michigan state won the natty and the lions won the Super Bowl.
Dee Gordon: hits one of the most emotional homeruns in mlb history
Meags: "what if there was a league where everyone was on gear"
"That dude is skinny."
-Meags on the most emotional hr in baseball history
If he wants to see everyone on gear watch Barry bonds era baseball
came to the comments for that exactly
The Bartolo home run might just be the single best thing any of my favorite sports teams have done. That’s American history right there🥹
Yessir LFGM
i agree
I agree
just so matt knows, bartolo hitting a homer is like will clap catching a td
Big Sexy
We need to see some MMG learning baseball. The two things I love watching most, baseball and MMG vids in one would be amazing

I’m pretty sure Dee Gordon and Jose Fernandez were like best friends too right?
@@jdgurmom6035Ya they were, It was a surreal moment for Dee as well as the team

@@jdgurmom6035 I would imagine so based upon his reaction. Supposedly Bartolo knew this and intentionally threw it right down the pipe for Gordon.

The Diamondbacks are actually a good team. They made the playoffs this year.
I said the same thing when he said he doesn’t think the diamondbacks win
Ya and they just beat the Brewers in the Wild Card so he can actually go to an NLDS game. A vlog of that would be sick

I would say Jeter is More the Kobe of the MLB. Clutch, the captain, hard on teammates when needed. Always showed up and gave his best 🐍
Watching Matt talk about baseball might be the most funny thing ever
In horse racing papa, the triple crown is when you win the three major horse races of the year (Kentucky derby, Belmont stakes, Preakness stakes)
I literally got chills watching the jeter one
Another banger from papa meags
Respect for wearing Texans Gear.
Watching the bartolo trot again was amazing
