The BIZARRE DRAMA Between the 1987 St. Louis Cardinals NFL & MLB Teams
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- In 1987, while the NFL St. Louis Cardinals and their scab players were preparing for a game against the Washington Redskins, one player on the MLB St. Louis Cardinals, Jack Clark, was furious, to the point where he legitimately threaten to kill/severely injure the scab players and send them back to where they came from. It was a bizarre controversy that, when you break it down, doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. This is the story behind the bizarre drama between both the football Cardinals and the baseball Cardinals
NOTE: Not sure why, but the sound briefly cut out for a second at 4:34. The sentence was supposed to say “this race was getting close,” but it cut out after two words

"Willis" McGee. Lol. That's like calling Michael Jordan, Mickey Jordan or Tom Brady, Timothy Brady. Omg.
To quote Gary Coleman with somewhat different intonation, "Whatchyoo talkin' about, Willis?"
Some of his teammates called him that because he reminded them of Gary Coleman. He had the mumps one time and had chubby cheeks.
Love the WWF cameo in the newspaper clipping partially showing a prototype match to the Royal Rumble match which debut in January 1988.
Looks like it was only a 12 man Royal Rumble
@@travismiller4320 True, but you got Paul Orndorff and Rick Rude in it, and they were fresh into a feud after Rude's debut. Would have been worth admission price.
You beat me to it lol
@@travismiller4320 It was probably one of those matches done as a test to see if the Royal Rumble concept would be accepted by the fans in that house show. Seems to have worked, too.
For what it is worth, the first Royal Rumble in January 1988 was with 20 men and was on cable. The Royal Rumble didn't become a PPV and increase to 30 until 1989. Also, before it officially became the Royal Rumble, it was sometimes called a Rumble Royal.
I would pay to see rude vs orndorff, I'm saying Rude won with help from Heenan!!!
ah yes, I remember the '87 strike well! Washington wins their second Super Bowl (the first one also coming during a strike-shortened season in 1982) completely random unrelated side note: the WWF newspaper ad at 10:02 features the first ever test run of the Royal Rumble, which was won by the One Man Gang
Yeah, good thing the Vikings crushed the 49ers, and, subsequently, forgot, how, to catch.
Glad I wasn't only one who caught that, didn't realize it was the very first though, although makes sense with the verbiage in the ad. Also..on another unrelated note.....some guy named Ric Rude was on that card apparently. No word on if he was related to Rick Rude or not......lol.
@ajk Relationships, are, very confusing.
He looked an awful lot like Bam Bam Bigalo
@@williamrogers7974 Numerous things greatly explained.
Can you please do a Mets/Jets dispute over the years at Shea stadium? Also in 1975, Shea stadium hosted both My baseball and football teams.
Yankees, Mets, Jets, Giants all used Shea in 1975. Yankee Stadium was in the middle of a renovation.
I totally agree that there should be a video about both NY baseball teams AND both NY NFL teams sharing the same stadium. I didn’t know about it, and so that is a great video suggestion.
@@AdamJ617 I'd certainly be interested in knowing on how the schedules were formed that year...especially on Sundays during baseball season.
I imagine things happened at yankee stadium and the polo grounds too.
That would be an enjoyable video to watch for sure!
I'd like to see one re: the Buffalo Sabres and the former NBA Buffalo Braves (now the LA Clippers) who always argued over scheduling issues in the old Memorial Auditorium.
I remember people used to call the football Cards the Big Red to differ them from the baseball team. Being from the KC area I remember both the Big Red and the Chiefs were horrible most of the ‘80s. In fact when both teams faced one another depending on the home team one side of the state couldn’t watch the game. It wasn’t until the Chiefs faced the Rams in the mid 90s that the whole state could watch a game between its teams. Bush stadium while a good baseball stadium was horrible for football. Arrowhead was way ahead of it. The problem for fans in St. Louis, the Dome wasn’t all that much better.
The Dome was kinda shit I agree, but man do I have fond memories watching Rams games there
Haha, you said Bush stadium 😋🤣
The cookie-cutter stadiums were slightly better-suited for football than for baseball. The Dome was designed for football; structurally, there was never anything wrong with it. Football fans were too fussy, just like baseball fans who hate Tropicana Field.
@@davidlafleche1142Problem is the Dome was built in an awkward era when stadium designs were really improving. It was more similar to the RCA Dome, SilverDome and Metrodome that it was to newer domed stadiums such as Ford Field. The Alamodome had the same problem
They were "the team I'm not allowed to root for because they don't win opposed to the baseball team "the team I have to root for because it's part of the family' that's why the football team left there was a whole lot of that
Not surprised about Jack Clark he even wanted to fight Tony Gwynn when he was a Padres.
Yup.
Willis McGee? WTH? How about John Montana? LOL -- My man you do a good job but, for the love of God, have a someone proofread your scripts. HOWEVERRRR....
Imagine if the football Cardinals stayed in St. Louis instead of going to Arizona. The Rams should've stayed in Los Angeles instead of heading to STL.
That’s how it should of always been. St. Louis should still have there football team Baseball team and hockey team.
And st.louis would never had a super bowl win
I’m old enough to remember Jack Clark. His personality rating would’ve been higher if he spiked his opinion into the ground on every single play.
He was the only guy to play in San Diego and somehow not get along with Tony Gwynn. The homer against the Dodgers in the NLCS tho….
Did you read about Jack Clark's bankruptcy in 1992? He owned a ridiculous number of cars.
Who gets upset? The people who work concessions just to get by. The owners and staff of restaurants and bars that surround the arenas. The parking attendants. The stadium maintenance staff. Literally everyone.
And Yugoslavians, don't forget about them!
Wtf would they care huh?
I’m not upset…😤🤬😭, although I would feel better about the situation if I had a huge pile of 💵💰💴 to lay down on too…that being said, I sure hope ESPN has an option to renew their contract with the KBO 🇰🇷 🙏🏼…can’t go on without my ⚾️ fix.
Football-only guy referring to the great Willie McGee as “Willis”. C’Mon man!
Man I miss old Busch Stadium so much cooler looking than new Busch. Love the arches on the top of the stadium and the real arch just outside.
same here....such a great atmosphere in that place, and the turf looked awesome.
Jack Clark is best remembered for his series clinching HR in game 6 of the ‘85 NLCS against LA.
World Series, infamous, though.
@@matthewdaley746 Hall of Fame baseball voice Jack Buck said Swing and a long into left adios good bye and maybe that's a winner a 3 run homer and the cardinals lead by the score of 7-5 and they may go to the world series on that one folks
@@juliansmith1951 Alas, ultimately, unfortunate, outcome.
...and dropping the foul in game 6 of that WS.
@@alexsweet8585 The Cardinals quit psychologically.
It was so long to the NFL Cardinals in St. Louis after all this drama. X( Pretty crazy story.
“Willis” McGee? Wha choo talking ‘bout?
I am not surprised that this story revolves around Jack Clark. He was a brilliant hitter,but he was also famous for his surly demeanour.
He wasn’t calls Jack the Ripper just for his home runs
1987 was sadly the last year for the football Cards in St. Louis, ultimately culminating in a $790 million lawsuit settlement in November. On the subject of historic teams, shout out to the Montreal Expos. Also, Yugoslavia.
I thought that settlement was for the St. LOUIS Rams
That settlement was for the Rams. St. Louis got nothing for the Cardinals except a mercenary team for 21 years.
@@hermmmc neither of those teams were native to St Louis.
@@TheSjuris Let's see, of the 8 major league sports teams that play in LA, exactly 3 of them started there as expansion teams, so LA has pretty much been the king of poaching teams. Also had the football Cardinals not moved in 1960 there would've been no football Cardinals, they were doing that poorly in Chicago. As it was the city built them a new stadium in 1966 only to have a greedy owner reject it less than 2 decades later.
@@hermmmc same owner as the one that foolishly moved the team to a baseball city. Have to remember the league never wanted to even have another football team in Shit Louis after the Cardinals left.
As a long time SF Giants fans I am not surprised with Jack Clark's asshattery.
How crazy is it that two of the biggest jerks in SF Giants history shared the same name and number?
Psshhh..like you got room to talk with Will Clark over there. One of the biggest D-bags in bb history and one of the Giants most beloved players. Between Clark, Bonds, Bonds Sr., Jeff Kent, and Leonard's douchey hr trot, it seems like it's a prerequisite for Giant's stars to be total A-holes.
Everyone hates scabs
@@JJGerrard1980 Jack Clark was always a big asshole. I don't remember Will be a giant a-hole. Jeff Kent is pretty big one, and Bonds is also. But there is no shortage of a-holes.
@@JJGerrard1980 Except for Mays, maybe
I remember Bidwell whining about just wanting a bigger stadium so the Cardinals could compete with other teams. He was such a cheapskate and terrible owner. He couldn't even fill Busch Memorial on a regular basis.
I think this is a pretty disingenuous portrayal of what he said, even if what he said was bad.
He said he was going to hit line drives at them, not that he would kill them. The fact that a line drive could kill them, is not the same as saying he would.
This wasn't some angry, anti-immigrant rant. He was angry about the scabs and, historically speaking, scabs have traditionally been immigrants from poorer, Eastern Europe countries. It's probably a lot less relevant or well known today, given that it's been like 120 years since poor, Eastern Europeans have been coming in as scabs to work in the factories. It's a relevant piece of US history that gets glossed over today, but was probably significant when Jack Clark was in school. The quote seems more symbolic rather than he actually thought they were from Yugoslavia
Jack Clark was nuts. This story doesn’t surprise me in the least…
Considering he filed for bankruptcy while still an active player years later, it does not surprise me.
Steroids?
@@encycl07pedia- Excessive car collecting, if I remember correctly.
@@encycl07pedia- if I didn't know any better I would say CTE
@@bobma6342 He was a baseball player. I don't think CTE is much of an issue in baseball.
10:00. Holy shit!!! Paul Orndorff vs Ric Rude!!! I can’t wait to see that match!
As some one whose family came from the former Yugoslavia, I love that my Twins beat his Cardinals in 87.
Metrodome certainly possessed influence.
I'm a Cards fan, but that was a great World Series.
@@tygrkhat4087 yeah it was.
the Twins are the most clutch pro team in MN by a country mile...
Yeah The Twins AND The Umpires beat the Cardinals!
I remember it well! There were several but the biggest Umpire FAIL came in the 6th inning of Gm 7 when Tommy Herr was picked off 1st base with one out & the score tied 2-2!
First Frank Viola balked! Then interference on Kent Hrbeck in the baseline blocking Herr from getting back to first! Last but not least Herr was clearly safe getting back! On top of that the Umpire couldn't see cause his vision was blocked so he just guessed! Tommy Herr should've been awarded 2nd base with only one out! May not have meant the game but it sure changed the momentum & strategy with 3 innings left to play (along with several other Umpire fails)! I'm not a sore loser, just hate to get cheated by officiating & then see a Twins fan gloat! I actually liked the Twins but they had help throughout that series! End of rant
Hearing a baseball player complain about the NFL strike is seriously tone deaf. Anybody remember the 94 World Series?
Fun note, Jack Clark hit a homerun in every game I saw him play live. I really liked him as a player, but he could take batting practice at a lot of places in St. Louis. Hard for an entire football team to move practice no matter if they are real players or scabs for One guy to get 30 or so extra pitches of bp.
The, "fans," of Montreal would have you believe they would have, won, it, and, The, 1981, World Series, and, that they only don't have a team, for, those reasons, economics, indifference to baseball itself, don't bother us, with, your facts.
This was seven years before that 1994 strike that in retrospect HAD to happen or MLB would have been facing far worse consequences, including being potentially shut down by courts for the 1995 and '96 seasons if MLB had caved into the players because that would have likely meant the Pirates would have folded (they were that toxic financial-wise at the time) as Pennsylvania legislators likely use legal action to block MLB from operating at all until a solution was found that kept the Pirates afloat.
@@WaltGekko Yeah, no, the players could have chosen to be unselfish, and, did, not, they struck of their own accord, and, were, not, forced, but, they, conveniently, leave that part out.
Oh shit, 1987 happened before 1994??? You mean Hulk Hogan slammed Andre The Giant when he was already dead?
@@LeBasketballGuy What an awesome trick.
Duuuude the old WWF newspaper ads lol
1987 Worldseries my Minnesota Twins defeated that 1987 St.Louis Cardinals team
This story could have been told in 1/4 the time.
You need to do the Jack Del Rio/Otis Taylor fight.
how did that happen?
Love that WWF actually advertised a pose down hahaha
1980s WWF: We need to bring in more of the female audience!
2020s WWE: We need to bring in more of the transgender audience!
‘Willis’ McGee? Come on man.
Probably had Willis McGahee on the brain.
Whatchu talkin ‘bout, Jaguar?
Whatcho talkin' 'bout with 'Willis'?
A nod to number 22 on 2-22-22.
So did the two teams really hate each other, as it said in the video description, or did Clark merely hate the football scab players?
It was just Clark.
@@Boogaboioringale And Jack Clark hated everybody.
The baseball Cardinals lost in the World Series to the Twins
That era of Cardinals baseball was bittersweet. On one hand, they were perhaps the best team in the National League in the 80's. On the other hand, they lost two World Series in three attempts.
@Kenneth Cline The 1980s, had three teams that, really, should have been, Dynasties, the, Cardinals, Mets, and, Athletics. The Cardinals, lost, Keith Hernandez, and, that just submarined them. The Mets, were, a victim of many things, The, Playoff Format, truly, stood out. The Athletics needed an earthquake, to, win, even, once, and, adding insult to injury, were, bookended by a Twins team that, would, win, the, World Series, in their only two Playoff appearances. The only, multiple, Champion, in, the 1980s, were, the Dodgers, and, Toronto, was, good, for, three years, but, would, win, two, straight, World Series.
Twitter blue checks would have a field day with Jack Clark today.
Pretty sure the Yugoslavia thing was a joke. See back in the 80s, in addition to football and baseball being played in the same stadiums, people also had a sense of humor even when they were pissed off.
Except that there's absolutely nothing about jack Clark in this video to even remotely suggest he has a sense of humor at all.
Maybe it was a wise self-censor instead of saying north or east st. Louis or worse. Also could have been the O line against the D line were you might see some -ski, - ich and -ak last names.
The were replacement players. Please refrain from using the highly inflammitory "s" word. That's very very offensive to many people.
I don't miss the headaches but seeing NFL games with a dirt infield was kinda cool and I miss that.
All but a memory now.
Yeah the only team that played horizontally across the baseball diamond was the last one to get a different stadium when the Raiders moved to Vegas.
I am a Twins fan since I do live in Minnesota, but do you think the 87 WS would have bern different if Clark was available for that 4-3 Series loss by the Cardinals.
Unsure, but, I think the Mets would have stopped them, just, unquestionably.
I don't think it would have mattered because STL's pitching killed them in that series. When you're giving up 10, 8, and 11 runs in a World Series game Babe Ruth isn't going to save you.
@Rockhound6165 The Mets had a, better, offense, and, their pitching hadn't fallen off, yet, the Twins sure lucked out, no question.
@@matthewdaley746 If the Twins didn't have homefield the Mets or any N.L. team would've struggled at the Dome. The Twins didn't lose a W.S. home game in 87 or 91, however, they didn't win a single W.S. road game either.
@@silyrabittrxr4kids5 Yeah, but, the Cardinals, were, hitless wonders, with, virtually, no power, who relied, on, speed, and, adequate, pitching, the Mets took a team's heart, by, clobbering them, early, and/or, sticking around, late.
I'm sorry, but at (10:00), I can NOT stop focusing on and trying to read about the WWF wrestling match between Ric Rude and Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorf! I'm in need of Adderall...
Look at the rest of the card as well. Pretty good matches for that era. Bundy vs Steamboat, Orton vs Muraco(the original Rock), One Man Gang vs JYD, Bulldogs vs Demolition.
@@Rockhound6165 ~ Yeah man, good stuff!
Also no doubt seven year old Randy was there watching dad
Willis McGee? Just one more thing. Jack Clark was good at first base and fit in well for that team. I would not state him as the 3rd MVP of that team. I would put Herr, Cox, and Pendleton over Clark in 87.
Hold On...
The St. Louis Cardinals hated
The St. Louis Cardinals??
I can't imagine how confusing this would be lol. Like if the Steelers were still called the Pirates as well.
The, Pirates, made, "A, Deal, With, The, Devil," for, 1960, 1971, and, 1979, and, "The, Devil's," been, collecting, ever, since.
Or if the San Francisco Giants decided to stay in New York
Could have had two royals in kc at one time as well.
Or if the Brooklyn baseball Dodgers hadn't moved to LA and the football Brooklyn Dodgers were still in operation.
There were a ton of MLB/NFL crossover nicknames up until about the 1940's. The Cardinals were the last holdout.
Jack Clark: *angry xenophobic rant*
Gene Stallings: “I need to talk to your Manager.”
Jack Clark: “Ok Karen…”
Clark was the Karen, a big drama queen with an even bigger ego.
Paul Orndorff had just turned babyface and was in a feud with Rick Rude over who had a better body
got me looking at the wikipedia page for Yugoslavia to figure out where the fuck that comment from Clark came from... I got nothing
I lived in Tempe, AZ for 18 months … Phoenix is indeed a different city.
So is Irving, by quite a distance, but they still say the Cowboys are in Dallas.
Detroit Lions used to play their games at the Silverdome in Pontiac.
The NFL Cardinals just had a tough time beating their competitors.
I'm a Red Sox fan. My last memory of Jack Clark was him stealing money and playing like crap in his last season.
yesssssss. He was a waste of a contract by then.
I just had a beer with Jack this past weekend. At my bosses in Central mo
And declared bankruptcy later.
As a Yankee fan I almost remember him playing for us…lol!!
Say what you want about Clark, but you can’t deny he was one of the a top power hitters of his playing time. Plus he didn’t need any juice to accomplish his numbers.
Paul Orndorff vs. Ric Rude. they omitted the "K" in Rick.
So, did Yugoslavia ever get its football players back?
I love your content but don’t like how click baity you get sometimes to stir up drama. Clark was mad the NFL Cardinals were on the field but saying that he threatened to “kill them” when he just said he’d be hitting liners at them is a bit of an exaggeration to say that least.
Yeah, this guy always exagerates.
Not a baseball Cardinals fan; however, Whitey was a class act throughout his baseball career and throughout his entire life. (In his younger days, he resembled the late actor Brian Keith, IMHO.)
Jack Clark's ego and intensity were his undoing. He was a terrific baseball talent with an astoundingly high baseball acumen and baseball IQ. But he had all the personality of sandpaper. And his innate selfishness was a turn-off wherever he played.
IMHO, Clark should've kept his nose out of the football Cards' business and simply vented privately to Whitey. That would've been the best way for Clark to deal with his frustrations.
If Orange County is "LA" and "SoCal", then Tempe sure as he'll is Phoenix. Just as New Jersey is New York's sewage treatment facility.
OP, the Cardinals had WAY MORE than one week to go on September 9th in 1987.
No need to say that Phoenix and Tempe are the sane place because as a Phoenician, we doing. Are they part of the “Phoenix metro area”? Yes. But Tempe is Tempe and not Phoenix.
This is real cool. I remember taking a vacation trip with a friend in august of this year. Going to st. Louis and seeing the cards vs. Phillies and i think cards only won one in 3(4?) game series . First though went to KC and saw Royals Yankees,but i just really dont remember games,it was fun being there. Good video,good job on this,hey,i had no idea.
Didn't the football Cardinals have a practice facility? They couldn't just do their practices at the practice facility instead?
Twins sent home clark crying that season anyway so the extra practice didn't mean nothing
Scab players or not, many of them were bigger, faster, and stronger and would have kicked his ever-loving ass.
At least Clark chose Yugoslavia to criticize the scabs and not a country with a majority non-white population. And he didn't call it a "schitthole" country either. If that had been the 2010's or 20's and he had made either of these statements he would have been for sure "cancelled" and called a racist had he done that.
LOL, as soon as you said a Cardinals player was threatening to kill scab players, I said, must be Jack Clark. Hahaha
I remember seeing that Washington won the game despite (or because?) they didn't have a single NFL veteran cross the picket line while the Cardinals had some of their regular starters. There were roughly 27,000 fans at RFK Stadium and many of them were chanting, "Stay on strike! Stay on strike!" Of course, there was also the huge upset two weeks later on Monday Night Football when Washington upset a veteran-laden Cowboys team 13-7.
That was planned. Gibbs and skins knew there would be a strike and put together the best scab team possible. Won the s b too.
That team, was, a total fraud, they didn't play the, 13-2, 49ers, would miss the Playoffs, completely, the next two years, and, only, reached, the, SB, because, of, "The, Drop."
@steven bauer Only, because, everything broke right, the next two seasons proved what a total fraud they, were.
@@matthewdaley746 well if niners get to s b they whoop the broncos again. And what if nelson doesn't drop that pass? Then perenniel chokers the vikes and broncos play in the s b.
@@matthewdaley746 yep. A lot went right for '87 twins. That's for sure.
On a Different note, Look at that WWF flyer looks like a Saturday Nites Main Event card..
This was one of the worst videos this guy has done. Also way way way too much “context”. All of Jack Clark’s comments to the press did not need to be included in this. Wish I had not wasted my time with this video
Clarks comment wasnt that bad cmon , kinda funny if ya know how much of a red ass clark was
The 12 man royal rumble and Mr. Wonderful vs Ravishing Rick Rude looked like a good WWF house Show card.
PAUL ORNDORFF VS RICK RUDD!?! AWWWRIGHT!!!
I usually like your videos, but with this one, you lost me at 2:38 when you said “Willis” McGee. Whatchutalkinbout!!!??? C’mon man.🤦♂️
I loved Jack, but he wasn't one to pull punches😅
Went to the world series with half a team and it still took 7 games to beat em. They were the best team
best player on the team not hardly.

at 9;12, they sat yugoslavia but show a flag of japan......................
Willis McGee???? Stick to football homeboy, he was an awesome player Willie McGee. Never has he been called Willis
Is this the year they choked against the Twins or Royals?
2:38 WILLIS McGee? Don't you mean WILLIE McGee?
A pose down between Rick Rude and Paul Orndorff. Now thats gonna put some butts in seats.
Orndorff had just turned babyface again because...Bobby Heenan said that Rick Rude had a better body than he did. After that legendary turn and run against Hulk Hogan throughout 1986, what a horrible, anticlimactic way to make Orndorff back into a good guy.
In today's world, absolutely.
I remember Jack Clark was kind of a hot head.
Have you considered doing Baseball video ⚾️ 🧢
Now I know why St. Louis can’t have a football team.
In 1987, the baseball St. Louis Cardinals went to the World Series, but lost to the Minnesota Twins in seven games. The football Cardinals had a disappointing season, and ended up moving to Arizona. From 1960-87,
St. Louis had both the baseball and football Cardinals; people called the
football Cardinals Big Red to differentiate it from the baseball team. Both
Cardinals used the original Busch Stadium (1960-65) and Busch Memorial
Stadium (1966-87).
Losing Keith Hernandez, indefensible.
It makes me even more disappointed that my Buccaneers blew a big lead to Big Red at Busch Memorial Stadium in '87. I wish I forgot that I watched that game.
@@marcus813 Disappointing, though, completely, unsurprising.
It was the last season that the football Cardinals played in St. Louis
Jack Clark today would be a steroid user.
Dad in the 80s:"Son,I've got tickets for the Cardinals game."
Son:"Alright!"
Goes to the St.Louis Football Cardinals game.
hmm, I wonder if this is relevant to anything happening today...
Who were those 5 Yugovlavian players? Also Bill Belichick and Nick Saban are both Croatians and therefore Yugoslavs
Novo Bojovic
Joe Cerne
Visco Grgich
Frankie Sinkwich
Joe Kodba
A bit off topic, but I'm stuck by the similarity between Clarks stance and swing and Giancarlo Stanton's. Having seen Stanton swing in person and on TV at home, his swing seems so unorthodox, it's a surprise to find a comparable swing so many years earlier from Clark.
I loved Carl Yastrzemski's vicious uppercut swing, holding the bat way over his head, then swinging up. Unfortunately, Yastrzemski injured his left shoulder around 1970, and never had the same power after that.
Funny this video came out now, while MLB is in a work stoppage.
I have a hunch that this wasn't a coincidence.
2:16 The good ole days.
Whitey Herzog’s Cardinals teams in the 1980s were incredible. 3 World Series appearances in 1982 beating the Brewers (I think?), 1985 losing to the Royals, and in 1987 losing to the Twins. All of this coming from a diehard Reds fan.
1982, was, the Brewers, Paul Molitor, and, Robin Yount, they, were, their best opponent, but, they lucked out, because, the, NLCS, was, best-of-five, against a fluky Braves team, and, they avoided, cross-country, travel in the World Series, with, home-field-advantage, and, Keith Hernandez, they got rid of him, played California teams, and, needed to go on the road, twice, Dynasty, thwarted.
The ironic thing was that all three of those series went seven games.
@@BrianRetro Yeah, and, the Pirates won, Game Seven, on the road in, 1979, in, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991, 1997, 2001, 2002, and, 2011, the home team won, 2014, finally, ended the streak, indeed, a new one began, as, it, 2016, 2017, and, 2019, were, all won by the road team.
Jack Clark was always a malcontent.
What's that with the blur at 4:34?
Not sure. Someone else pointed that out and I don’t know why it happened because it wasn’t there when I exported. Was supposed to say “the race was really close”
@@OfficialJaguarGator9 I'll let it pass. This time. 😋
@@DolFan316 Such mercy.
This guy takes forever to get to the point.
This video could have been 10 minutes long.
I feel there was unnecessary stuff.
Just my opinion.
"Willis" McGee🙄? Smh
Well to be FAIR BOTH the BASEBALL St. Louis Cardinals and the FOOTBALL St. Louis Cardinals were BOTH WORSE than a 39.6. They should have just SPIKED the OWNERS of BOTH TEAMS head into the GROUND EVERY TIME the FOOTBALL Cardinals were on OFFENSE.
Willis McGee? I think that's Willie McGee...
I remember him on the Yankees
Off topic, but the original Astro Turf was the worst thing ever to happen to sports. Just a carpet in many sections sewn together waiting to burst a seam and end a career. Not to mention the 'cushion' under the green stuff deteriorated over time and the players were essentially playing on asphalt. Yeah, that had to be fun.
