One of the greatest 1B ever. Very underrated for a Hall of Famer. Go look at his numbers, he stayed on the field, consistently averaged 100 RBI, 100 Runs, 30 HR, 30 Doubles. He was awesome
Bagwell is my all time favorite player. Absolute joy growing up watching him. Imagine his numbers if he never played in the Astrodome. Rare combination of speed, power, and defense. Rightfully earned his Hof induction.
@@edenvillanueva3297 he was my favorite too but he pulled a dick move on me and dad at a game..Biggie stepped in and signed my ball and became a new favorite of mine
I turned on the t.v as a kid and said whats this guy doinf with his weird stance...he hits an almost hr....it went slightly left...he ends up hitting a hr anyways and i was like😮😮😮😮😮.....😍😍😍😍.Thank you Bagwell.i watched baseball until he retired.
I never knew he was brokenhearted about being traded to Houston, we are all glad he learned to love it. I grew up seeing that batting stance so it always looked normal, seeing it again after all these years it looks so weird lol.
That is a very very very astute observation. When you think about, he likely is. Who else could be more underrated? Stan Musial is probably underrated, but everyone still knows that he was great. Rickey Henderson I dare say is underrated, for how famous he is. Joe Gordon? Gil McDougald (sp?)? Gary Carter? Bill Freehan? Richie Ashburn? Those guys are all underrated IMHO, but I agree with you that Jeff Bagwell is the MOST underrated (I'm a big Bill Freehan fan, so I'm putting him second!)
@@wabbittwacks3173 Ricky Henderson isn't underated, he just isn't spoken of, as well as the Oakland As team from that era. Great team with Canseco, McGwire, Henderson, Ek, and I think Dave Stewart. My fav As team. Bagwell was a line drive hitter, but when he lowered his stance and added all that power to his swing, it was incredible to see him knock balls out of the park
Def one of my favorite players of the 90s-00s alongside Craig Biggio. Notable mentions: Lance Berkman, Roy Oswalt, Brad Ausmus, and the Rocket, Roger Clemens.
What a legend. My all-time favorite player. Contact & power, defense & speed. The leader of the killer bees era. I miss the dome, but it’s less about the dome itself and more about seeing Biggio and Bagwell dominate opposing teams.
Prime Bagwell was amazing. Could hit for power and average. Walked a ton. Good defense and baserunning. As an Astros fan it was sad to see his production drop off so much by 2005. His shoulder was completely fucked by then and he was relegated to pinch hitter in the World Series. Unfortunately he stunk during playoffs his entire career. He and Biggio way underperformed. Astros got bounced by inferior teams in the playoffs because of it.
It's hard to have elite playoff numbers against the 3 headed monster that Atlanta had every year. Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz were a tough trio to try to go up against every single year... Biggio hit well in '04 and over .300 in the '05 playoffs.
Bagwell didn't get the "Steriod body". He was a strong wide bodied player when he got there. Not saying he didn't partake but he just looked like if he worked out regularly his body would put on muscle naturally. And what has been said from former player's is Bagwell was just a natural.
Bagwell is a legend. But with all due respect, how does that stance not hurt..the scrotum region when swinging, especially for the fences...is better and beyond me.
The biggest thing I remember about him wasn't on field. Biggio almost left, Bags said re do my deal keep him here. And it happened cause he wanted his brother and took less money. That's a man! ...... in my opinion.
Besides Griffey this is by far my guy.. broken hands astrodome and then the last few seasons of injuries kinda held his #s down.. just think if my two favorite players could have stayed healthy and not play in shitty parks griffey would be #1 all time and Bags #5.... I believe that
0:26 lmao going to a baseball game must have been a lot more fun back in the day. I guess you were allowed to sit up in the nosebleed section shirtless whilst pounding beers
Only first baseman with 400 plus hr and over 200 stolen bases in mlb history good average good defense drove in runs and was on base to be drove in they dont have as many players like this anymore wish his career hadnt cut alittke short or he would have hit 500 hrs for sure
@@jeremieamsallem892 yeah lou is probably the greatest play to never really be recognized Because of Ruth His stat numbers are just out of this world 13 100 run season 13 100 rbi season Basically only really played 14 season And had over 1800 runs An just 5 rbi short of 2000 In just 14 years that's scary to think about if he would have played as long as Aaron or mays or even Ruth 😳 just think about what those number could have been Nobody will ever touch number like that in That short of a time period
One of the poster boys/ring leaders along with teammate Ken Caminiti for PEDs. I know he never tested positive but many of his contemporaries including Frank Thomas outed him. He brought PEDs to Houston and got Biggio, Hidalgo, Everett, Howell, and Alou on his gas hook-up and they still couldn't win. The 90's Astros were one of if not the most roided teams of the era, this is widely known.

not to mention being a career 300 hitter
@@Jack3dBrett actually a .297 but I get what you mean
Still a stud regardless 😂😂
Don't forget walks
SIX consecutive 100-100-100 seasons
If there not o NY, LA, Detroit, Boston, Mariners San Francisco or Angels baseball league could care less
And excellent base runner

Optimal production EVERY SINGLE SEASON. An absolute stud ball player. Superb upload. Well done.
Thank you!
His stats in 1994 was absolutely phenomenal, so one of the most underrated players for sure.
I never knew he was brokenhearted about being traded to Houston, we are all glad he learned to love it.
I grew up seeing that batting stance so it always looked normal, seeing it again after all these years it looks so weird lol.
He was my favorite player and probably the reason my stance didn't work in college.
Love his batting stance.
My favorite baseball player ever! I am forever grateful to have witnessed him play!!❤Houston! Go Stros!! Chugga chugga wooo woooo
This dude was bad ass! Loved his hitting stance.
Most underrated player of all time

My favorite Astro ever. Not only was he really good, he played the game the right way. No half-assing it.
Def one of my favorite players of the 90s-00s alongside Craig Biggio. Notable mentions: Lance Berkman, Roy Oswalt, Brad Ausmus, and the Rocket, Roger Clemens.
Let's not forget Moises Alou to he was a memorable Astro player to
The power swing he generated from his legs was incredible
One of my all time favorite ballplayers. I miss him s lot. Dude could also play D.
What a legend. My all-time favorite player. Contact & power, defense & speed. The leader of the killer bees era. I miss the dome, but it’s less about the dome itself and more about seeing Biggio and Bagwell dominate opposing teams.
I didn't realize he had quite a few 100 plus RBI seasons. Wow! LEGEND!
loved this guy and Craig Biggio

Thank you for the video!!
You're welcome!
He is one of my favorite players.
Best astros player ever.
Best defensive first baseman of all time.

In the Astrodome. Great memories.
If the Astrodome wasn't one of the worst parks imaginable for hitters to play in, imagine the numbers he would've put up.
Great player
The goat the goat
Sabo 😅 holy crap... I haven't heard that name in years 👌
Those goggles.
@@edwarddawson7849 his signature feature 😁👍
Great teammate
I’d loved to build a team around a Bagwell & Biggio… Gritty hammers that played the game
Bagwell is a legend. But with all due respect, how does that stance not hurt..the scrotum region when swinging, especially for the fences...is better and beyond me.
Bagwell always looked like he put everything he had into every swing lol
Stros legend
The 1994 nl mvp
Hes the reason i ever liked baseball 😢
2:59 in the video. Darwin got naturally selected by Bagwell. Oooooof. 😜😜
Still have no idea how 2005 was sweeped. 2005 Astros had a great lineup.
If I remember right they were all super close games and could have gone either way. Thats just how the game goes sometimes.
The biggest thing I remember about him wasn't on field. Biggio almost left, Bags said re do my deal keep him here. And it happened cause he wanted his brother and took less money. That's a man! ...... in my opinion.
One of the worst/best trades of all time
バグウェル大好き
Besides Griffey this is by far my guy.. broken hands astrodome and then the last few seasons of injuries kinda held his #s down.. just think if my two favorite players could have stayed healthy and not play in shitty parks griffey would be #1 all time and Bags #5.... I believe that
I modeled my stance after him in little league. He was the truth
So did I lol
If Christian McCaffrey played baseball
0:26 lmao going to a baseball game must have been a lot more fun back in the day. I guess you were allowed to sit up in the nosebleed section shirtless whilst pounding beers
And to think, he batted .368 in 94 and didn't win the batting title.
Yeah, Tony Gwynn was one hell of a hitting machine.
That's crazy.
Who here after he calls the wild pitch?
man I forgot how speedy he was
I always forgot he stole bases because he's a first basman
God, I miss Milo.
Holy toledo
Only first baseman with 400 plus hr and over 200 stolen bases in mlb history good average good defense drove in runs and was on base to be drove in they dont have as many players like this anymore wish his career hadnt cut alittke short or he would have hit 500 hrs for sure
Sup bro its pickle remember me
Yup
152 runs in a season
Greatest first baseman ever.
Lou Gehrig
@@jeremieamsallem892 yeah lou is probably the greatest play to never really be recognized
Because of Ruth
His stat numbers are just out of this world 13 100 run season
13 100 rbi season
Basically only really played 14 season
And had over 1800 runs
An just 5 rbi short of 2000
In just 14 years that's scary to think about if he would have played as long as Aaron or mays or even Ruth 😳 just think about what those number could have been
Nobody will ever touch number like that
in That short of a time period
Stadiums looked horrible in the 90’s 😂
Cigarettes too
Basically squatting
I miss the dome….hot dogs were better.
Mr HGH
Why is Jeff Bagwell in the HOF...but not McGwire? How stupid do you have to be to not see that Bagwell was a juicer
He used an anabolic steroid before 2004 before they were banned
Who ‘didn’t’ juice? lol. But either way, Bagwell still out-awesomed a lot of other awesomes that also juiced
@@NathanielM... ken griffey jr.
@@nickk2431 one of my favs also! oh don’t forget Barry Bonds 👊
I'm pretty sure he tested negative multiple times on the roids, but ok

Your fine to be in the hall of fame
But not you Barry Sammy rodger or Mcguire
Yeah, they'll get in eventually.
