77-78 Yankees are grossly underrated. People talk about the 70's A's and Red's teams but this Yankees team is an after thought. They had a combination of power, speed, leadership, controversies and a phenomenal pitching rotation and bullpen.
Reggie Jackson is still referred to as Mr October and for good reason. Some baseball fans are probably referring to his days with the 70's A's instead of the Yankees.
Listen to Garvey's response to Yankees shutting him down. Why worry? Dodgers didn't adjust. If you just lost three straight you must shake things up. Lesson to learn for future managers.

Dodger Stadium looks the same in this modern era as it did back in '78, along with the Dodgers' home uniforms - clearly one of the most storied teams in the history of baseball
Kevan Payne You might have seen Dodger Stadium and the seating on an episode of Adam-12 around 1973 with the LAPD police helicopter. I did see it on Netflix through Roku - the stadium is the same as it is to this day.
News flash: 2014 - Dodger Stadium is strangely empty on Oct, 11th. The legions of gang members are hanging around the park next dr, Elysium Field. Dodgers suck!
This was the year the Yankees rallied from a 14-game deficit in mid-July and defeated the Red Sox in the famous one-game playoff on October 2 at Fenway.
Just season later (1979) Reds came back from 12-game deficit at All-Star break in N.L. West's standings, but in reg. season's llnd half they rallied to catch Astros for VIth/last, their 6 div. ch'mpnshps in 1970s
@Christopher-jk9bj Back when 2 TV stas. simultaneously aired M.L.B. post-season games, particularly L.C.S. duels in participating teams' mkts. It was done during 1970s/early-1980s
0:09, RIP Don Ohlmeyer, the first producer of Monday Night 🏈, and former executive producer of NBC Sports and former head of NBC West Coast Programming. His legacy proudly continues!
Also the Yankees' road uniforms look exactly the same back in '78 as they do right now in this modern era. Two of baseball's most storied teams going head to head for the second year in a row and most possibly for the umpteenth time - cannot beat the excitement of the World Series in the late '70s.
Yes, it seems like the very old nostalgic teams rarely ever make much of a change to their uniforms... with the exception of the White Sox for example.
The only change the Yankees have made since the days of Babe Ruth was adding the white outline to the road jerseys when they switched to the double knit polyester unis in 1973. 46 years and counting!
I was wondering when they tweaked the lettering to add the white outline. Thanks for that info! I guess that was one of the updates that Steinbrenner implemented, along with the major update - the renovation of the stadium.
I have been a huge Dodger fan since I was 9 years old in 1968, and these two series in '77' and '78 against the mighty Yankees were crushing. Those Dodger teams were great and would have won in many other years, but credit to the mighty Yankees. Hard to watch to this day. Thank goodness they finally got their just dues and defeated the Yankees in '81. What a great rivalry and a great baseball ear that was.
Agreed. I've seen many long homers since I started watching baseball, which was around 1977. As far as absolutely perfect contact and power meeting power to drive a ball a LONG way, the homer Reggie hit off Welch may be unequaled.
Today's balls juiced since players can't be on it. More dingers since starting pitchers who start slow but get stronger as game goes on now are pulled after six. Guess what? Batters can tee off tired middle men.
@@bernieudo4399 There's no flow. There's no consistency. I haven't watched a single MLB game this year. Only seen footage from highlights and news reels. And it's just a joke at this point. I'm speaking as someone who has followed baseball for decades.
@@KratostheThird Yeah. Talk & listen to baseball people. So much invested in developing pitchers, owners order managers to pull guy after six/seven even if he's throwing a gem. Saw this recently. Why not let the guy finish? That builds strength & confidence. A complete masterpiece. Now no more. Glad both Joe & Tony are resting peacefully. They'd be speechless at today's game. Gonna stop here.
Forty years apart, the Yankees (1978) clinched the WS Title at Dodger Stadium, the Red Sox (2018) clinched the WS Title at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers first batter of the game each time (Davey Lopes '78) and (David Freese '18) homered. And that was pretty much it for the Dodgers in both games. And Reggie Jackson ('78) and JD Martinez ('18) both teams' sluggers had homers late. History can repeat in strange ways.
Congratulations to the folks @ MLB for seemingly finally awakening to the fact that by not deleting and threatening fans from posting baseball history on RUclips only enchances and reminds people why they loved the game in the first place. I was 8 in 1978 and remember this Yankees team pretty well.
2:27:33.....Munson chases after and catches punk who stole a Yankee hat......and this was before the memorabilia craze.....Munson was known as being much faster than the average catcher!
Around 2:22.00 Tom Seaver gives one of the best encapsulation of a baseball season for the major league baseball player. The 30 games of spring training, 162 game schedule, the playoffs then the final three outs of a season that started months ago.
HIs arm was fine....He didn't want to pitch anymore. He finished out his contract in 1979 and did not want to do much. Catfish had a great career but his heart wasn't in it anymore.
I had read someplace that Catfish said that he regretted not retiring after Game 6. Anyway, the way he pitched during the stretch run was the single biggest reason the Yankees made it all the way back.
Catfish Hunter was huge down the stretch for the Yankees in 1978. In August and September in 11 starts he was 9-1 with a 1.71 era & 5 complete games. Of course he capped off the season for the Yankees with this game 6 victory pitching 7 innings & allowing just 2 runs. Hunter retired after the '79 season with 224 career wins, 5 straight 20-win seasons(1971-75), the 1974 Cy Young award when he won 25 games, and 5 World Series rings with the A's & Yankees. He was elected into the HOF in 1987. He passed away on 9/9/99. RIP Catfish
9 years old at the time, I ate this World Series up. Wow. Watching this brings back memories of the contrast at the time between NY and LA culturally. NY was dirty crime ridden and on its way downhill, and LA was bright, sunny, and hip. The land of blondes, babes, surfers and sunshine. But we had the better team!
That Yankees line-up was stacked. As a pitcher, how would you like to be facing Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson, Lou Piniella, Graig Nettles, and Chris Chambliss? ALL good hitters with power

Diddo on the comment giving thanks to the people at mlb.I was 10 in 76 when the yankees got swept by the big Red machine.How sweet it was when Reggie joined the Yanks and with him came the swagger necesary to battle the likes of garvey,lopes and cey.The only thing lacking would have been a rematch with the Reds during the 70's with are new found hero....I've been a yankee fan since 76 and theres nothing better than to stroll down memory lane with the likes of mick the quick.
Garagiola is someone I felt was such a great icon in my youth. Great announcer who was fun to listen to. I don't understand how so little of his stuff is not on youtube. Hs pre-game show on the all-star game was the only reason I waited for the game.
There's a 1971 World Series recording that has survived that I believe you can still watch on RUclips. Game 4 of the World Series. Video starts with Joe's pre-game show. Very charming, full of class and wit and a great sense of humor. They don't make them like him anymore.
Culmination of one of the greatest comeback years by any team ever. And do it on the Dodgers field where the yanks didn't have to run into the clubhouse was great, they celebrated like kids around Catfish and Thurman. After coming back from 2-0 in games. What an amazing World Series win.
Game one of the 2020 WS had nine million viewers. This one averaged 44 million over the six games. Great job, MLB - they'll add five or six more gimmicks to the game in hopes of reaching ten million next year. 👍
Reggie was amped up, after the shock of the quick pitch...his adrenaline had to jump! Another first pitch bomb! If I recall correctly Jackson's first up in game one was a dinger,...coming off the closing three he had in the final game in '77!
0:00:40... Check out the highlight in the pregame of Hal McRae of the Royals breaking up a possible double play in an ALCS game. Awesome stuff! They would never allow that today. The game has changed.
Reg-gie, Reg-gie, Reg-gie! You would have had to have been alive at the time and being Yankees fan made it all the more exciting. He was the most exciting athlete of the time.
Ed Baker I've been a NYY fan since the early 1960's and a big fan of Nettles but a HOF player? Unfortunately I believe he falls short. Munson had Hof talent but injuries shortened his career and killed his chances in my opinion.
@@michaelbelfer6513 I have to disagree with your assessment of Nettles. He was, to put it mildly, awesome. I remember Phil Rizzuto gasping as Nettles would do something at third base that took his breath away. HOF - no question as far as I'm concerned.
Even with a 4th place finish by the Yanks in '79, they still had a better W-L record (89-71) than the AL West champion Angels (88-74). That just shows you how tough the AL East was during those years.
That why MLB should have a wild card even in the late '70's. Could have had the 1 wild card play the division winner play in best 2 of 3 game "division series" (all of the game at the division winner park)with winner advancing to the ALCS. It was a shame that the Red Sox in 1978, did not have a wild card. No offense to the '78 Dodgers they were a damn good team. However the Red Sox that year was clearly the 2nd best team in all of MLB.
@@americangiant1003 Yes. In your scenario after a day off then it would've been Yanks v. Bosox best of three w/NY home field. Even then, prob NY or Bosox would've still beaten Royals. (best of 5). Guess maybe then the Dodgers would've had a chance since NY (still would've won) would be coming into the Series having played 2-3 more games. But Dodgers still wouldn't be on top since they'd be cooled off waiting & NY or Bosox just were the better team. Back then in high school I considered it like a Game 7. Had no doubt either team would win WS.
I like how ordinary people stormed the field after big wins back in those days. It wasn't technically allowed, per se, but the security, cops, and players just kind of shrugged it off as an inevitability. It seems unfathomable today.
I saw it, that guy had no idea Munson was on his tail. Munson had less than one year to live. What about that guy yelling in Jackson face at the dug out? Crazy.
No Joe or Tony. Just think. All that baseball knowledge & experience is gone. Their memories & stories...well kept secrets. That's the loss we suffer when some one passes. All now in the ultimate HOF.
2:27:46 In the background is a man in blue shirt, white pants, carrying a base. That's my husband. He ran out onto the field and literally stole second base. We still have it.
The sad thing about Catfish Hunter is that he is not remembered as he should be. He was a great pitcher, hitter and fielder. Young Madison Bumgarner reminds me of him. The difference is one is rHP and the other LHP.
That was Catfish's strength. He gave up a lot of home run balls, as the broadcasters mentioned in this game. But in the later game, he became a lot more difficult to face.
Yeah. In today's game he would've been pulled after six. Some of the best pitchers in MLB history took time to control the game. Just slow starters. Now you have to be "on" since you can only pitch for five-six innings. That's it. Gibson, Marichal, & Perry wouldn't survive today's managers. So sad.
I remember Reggie stuck out in game two with the tying run on to end the game. When he step in to the plate I thought this World Series can't end till Reggie get his revenge. Boy did he ever.
During this time (1976-1985), MLB had a different system with the World Series Designated Hitter. If the National League Champions held the home field advantage, the DH would be used for each game. If the America League Champions had home field, the pitcher would bat. In 1986, MLB adopted the current rule (NL Park - pitcher bats, AL Park - DH bats) and it has since remained.
So good, loved baseball back then it was the glory days where players were respected and no (or very little) showboating. Unlike today, the players respected other team players and were very professional about it. No players hugging each other and caring more about their status.... then the team. Also, if you notice without inter-league play the teams actually felt unknown and it was exciting to see these teams compete in the WS as the intangibles were more competitive (AL vs NL) and would actually mean something. Really miss those days!!!
Yeah, I would've expected more from the Dodgers vs. Beattie too, athough he did hold the Royals to only 1 run in 5 and 1/3 innings in Game One of the ALCS that year, and during the big four game sweep of Boston in September, he held the Sox to one run in 8 innnings. He was capable of pitching a good game, and he did. Wille Randolph got hurt the last Friday of the regular season. That's why Doyle was in there. Funny how injuries work to your advantage sometime.
Viewership is very low for baseball games now, both at the stadiums and on the television. This particular game drew tens of millions of viewers, which is a number baseball hasn't seen in a very long time.
Thank Bill Veeck's dealings with George Steinbrenner (especially Veeck's constant need for ready cash to pay his players, in the free-agent era) for the presence of Dent and Spencer on the Yankees. On 5 April 1977, the White Sox traded Bucky Dent to the New York Yankees for Oscar Gamble, Bob Polinsky (minor-league player), LaMarr Hoyt, and $200,000 cash. (Gamble was one of Veeck's one-season "rent-a-players" on the 1977 "South Side Hit Men" White Sox; Richie Zisk was another. Both went free-agent after the season, Gamble to the San Diego Padres and Zisk to the Texas Rangers.) And then on 12 December 1977, the Yankees got Bob Polinsky back from the White Sox - traded along with Tommy Cruz and Jim Spencer in exchange for Ed Ricks, Stan Thomas, and cash. Rich Gossage came to the Yankees by a slightly more circuitous route. On 10 December 1976, the White Sox traded Gossage and Terry Forster to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for Richie Zisk and Silvio Martinez. Gossage and Forster both pitched for the Pirates in 1977 - and both went free-agent after the season, with Gossage signing with the New York Yankees and Forster signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers. (Forster had a good year with the Dodgers in 1978, pitching in 47 games that season, all in relief, finishing with a 5-4 record, a 1.93 ERA, and 22 saves. But then he had 3 years of arm trouble, and didn't return to anything like his 1978 numbers until 1982, when he pitched in 56 games (all in relief) for the Dodgers.)
Looking back you got to be impressed at that Yankee comeback. Down 0-2, then winning four straight. This team was better than 1977. Winning that 163rd game had some effect on the Yankees--washed away the drama of the season. With all the distractions of being World Champion & being in NYC this team has got to rank in the top five of Yankee teams.
@@josecarranza7555 Prob. Look. Reggie had game presence & intelligence. Quick on his feet to do what he did. How many players would just freeze? Or just walk back to first with a "you got me" look. This was a turning point for the game & Series. That's why he's still Mr. October.
Was in New York in mid '80s & George just lost it. Finally stopped micromanaging & let baseball guys run the team. Enter Joe & Brian w/great scouting. Rings followed.
Beattie's misfortune was that the Yanks went out & signed Luis Tiant and Tommy John in the offseason. Since they still had Hunter, Guidry and Figueroa, Beattie wasn't really given the chance he desrved after doing so well for the Yanks down the stretch in 78. In September & October he did a good job, but it was so typical of the Yanks under George to lose faith in a promising youngster quickly if he struggled a bit. Had it not been for GM Gabe Paul, Guidry would've been traded in April of 77.
That is my all time favorite Yankee team. I cried that night because I was so happy that they pulled it off. God bless Catfish and Thurman.
That is my favorite team as well they got reggie jackson catfish hunter thurman gossage 77-78 yankees were a fun team they won in 77 for the first time in 15 years than didnt win for 18 years and won 4/5 in the late 90s even though im a orioles fan

Kevan Payne You might have seen Dodger Stadium and the seating on an episode of Adam-12 around 1973 with the LAPD police helicopter. I did see it on Netflix through Roku - the stadium is the same as it is to this day.
Ah, I see
News flash: 2014 - Dodger Stadium is strangely empty on Oct, 11th. The legions of gang members are hanging around the park next dr, Elysium Field. Dodgers suck!
+eric5906 Fų¢k you!
+Daniel Arreola dodgers suck! let's go Yankees
This was the year the Yankees rallied from a 14-game deficit in mid-July and defeated the Red Sox in the famous one-game playoff on October 2 at Fenway.
“Deep to LEFT…”
@@robjaimes8830 Bill White calling Buck F......g Dents Homer..Iwas 13 watching the game with my Grand pops and loved it
Just season later (1979) Reds came back from 12-game deficit at All-Star break in N.L. West's standings, but in reg. season's llnd half they rallied to catch Astros for VIth/last, their 6 div. ch'mpnshps in 1970s
@Christopher-jk9bj Back when 2 TV stas. simultaneously aired M.L.B. post-season games, particularly L.C.S. duels in participating teams' mkts. It was done during 1970s/early-1980s
The homer that Reggie Jackson hit in the 6th inning was huge.Tony Vargas has spoken
When I go to dodgers stadium I look at that palm tree the ball hit. That tree is still there.
With Reggie's name on it. 🐐
@doloresvargas6450 You mean the homer that Reggie Jackson hit in the SEVENTH inning - right?
No one does Baseball any better than Joe Garagiola and Vin Scully!
😢😢😢 All the announcers all pass on this game 😢😢😢
@@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987 Did that also include Al Michaels and Keith Jackson? Oh wait, I forgot, they only work for ABC Sports.
0:09, RIP Don Ohlmeyer, the first producer of Monday Night 🏈, and former executive producer of NBC Sports and former head of NBC West Coast Programming. His legacy proudly continues!
0:01-0:59, the 1977-83 MLB on NBC theme song that sounded like the theme song to a show that was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.
Also the Yankees' road uniforms look exactly the same back in '78 as they do right now in this modern era. Two of baseball's most storied teams going head to head for the second year in a row and most possibly for the umpteenth time - cannot beat the excitement of the World Series in the late '70s.
Yes, it seems like the very old nostalgic teams rarely ever make much of a change to their uniforms... with the exception of the White Sox for example.
the yankee uniforms havent changed in a 100 years
The only change the Yankees have made since the days of Babe Ruth was adding the white outline to the road jerseys when they switched to the double knit polyester unis in 1973. 46 years and counting!
I was wondering when they tweaked the lettering to add the white outline. Thanks for that info! I guess that was one of the updates that Steinbrenner implemented, along with the major update - the renovation of the stadium.
if mlb returns this year which is in peril, it would be nice to see the Yankees and Dodgers battle in the 2020 world series.
I have been a huge Dodger fan since I was 9 years old in 1968, and these two series in '77' and '78 against the mighty Yankees were crushing. Those Dodger teams were great and would have won in many other years, but credit to the mighty Yankees. Hard to watch to this day. Thank goodness they finally got their just dues and defeated the Yankees in '81. What a great rivalry and a great baseball ear that was.
Ironically the 1981 Dodgers were probably not quite as good as the 77 and 78 Dodgers , yet it was the 81 team that won the WS.
Love Tom Seaver's analysis.
he was a bore.
Agreed. I've seen many long homers since I started watching baseball, which was around 1977. As far as absolutely perfect contact and power meeting power to drive a ball a LONG way, the homer Reggie hit off Welch may be unequaled.
And they were more exciting than today's stale game where home run balls are treated more like mere statistics.
Today's balls juiced since players can't be on it. More dingers since starting pitchers who start slow but get stronger as game goes on now are pulled after six. Guess what? Batters can tee off tired middle men.
@@bernieudo4399 There's no flow. There's no consistency.
I haven't watched a single MLB game this year. Only seen footage from highlights and news reels.
And it's just a joke at this point. I'm speaking as someone who has followed baseball for decades.
@@KratostheThird Yeah. Talk & listen to baseball people. So much invested in developing pitchers, owners order managers to pull guy after six/seven even if he's throwing a gem. Saw this recently. Why not let the guy finish? That builds strength & confidence. A complete masterpiece. Now no more. Glad both Joe & Tony are resting peacefully. They'd be speechless at today's game. Gonna stop here.
@@bernieudo4399 Nothing more to say here. Been following other sports and they have been worth the effort and time I put into them.
Forty years apart, the Yankees (1978) clinched the WS Title at Dodger Stadium, the Red Sox (2018) clinched the WS Title at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers first batter of the game each time (Davey Lopes '78) and (David Freese '18) homered. And that was pretty much it for the Dodgers in both games. And Reggie Jackson ('78) and JD Martinez ('18) both teams' sluggers had homers late. History can repeat in strange ways.
yepper...in 81, who clinched in yankee stadium? whom?
22:44 Got to love Thurman Munson halling ass to first base on a routine grounder so hard his helmet flied off like that.
1:52 Reggie just destroys Welch. Holy Cow, White !!
Bob Welch strike out reggie jackson, but reggie Jackson got his revenge when it counted
1:52:05
Congratulations to the folks @ MLB for seemingly finally awakening to the fact that by not deleting and threatening fans from posting baseball history on RUclips only enchances and reminds people why they loved the game in the first place. I was 8 in 1978 and remember this Yankees team pretty well.
Me too. I was an 8 year old third grader when this Series was played.
2:27:33.....Munson chases after and catches punk who stole a Yankee hat......and this was before the memorabilia craze.....Munson was known as being much faster than the average catcher!
It was his mask....but nice catch.
Finally MLB comes into the twenty first century. I wish other sports had a channel like this on youtube with football and basketball.
well, hopefully someone will upload them soon. the yankee stadium was absolutely rockin for all three games.
loved this opening theme... my favorite baseball theme!!
Mine too! I also think that Garagiola and Kubek were the best announcers. Kubek in particular was the best analyst I ever heard.
It sounds very Hanna-Barbera-like.
Around 2:22.00 Tom Seaver gives one of the best encapsulation of a baseball season for the major league baseball player. The 30 games of spring training, 162 game schedule, the playoffs then the final three outs of a season that started months ago.
Great video! Thank you for posting!
I was there. The Bronx Bombers routed the Dodgers ! Catfish & Reggie were clutch. Lol - The jacket & "hair" of Tony Kubeck.
I miss the 70's 1978 world series MLB LA Dodgers AND NY yankees
Great Series. Both teams where great teams. The Yankees had one hell of a team
What a pitcher Catfish Hunter was, it's a shame that his career was cut short with arm injuries.
He also passed away at the young age of 53.
Of ALS
Richie Bambara yes
HIs arm was fine....He didn't want to pitch anymore. He finished out his contract in 1979 and did not want to do much. Catfish had a great career but his heart wasn't in it anymore.
I had read someplace that Catfish said that he regretted not retiring after Game 6. Anyway, the way he pitched during the stretch run was the single biggest reason the Yankees made it all the way back.
Catfish Hunter was huge down the stretch for the Yankees in 1978. In August and September in 11 starts he was 9-1 with a 1.71 era & 5 complete games. Of course he capped off the season for the Yankees with this game 6 victory pitching 7 innings & allowing just 2 runs. Hunter retired after the '79 season with 224 career wins, 5 straight 20-win seasons(1971-75), the 1974 Cy Young award when he won 25 games, and 5 World Series rings with the A's & Yankees. He was elected into the HOF in 1987. He passed away on 9/9/99. RIP Catfish
One of the best Yankees world series games ever.
YANKEES!! Greatest comeback in baseball history! LONG LIVE THE YANKEES!!
"Greatest Comeback in baseball history" The 2004 reverse sweep?
77-78 Yankees were talented yet mentally tough, just look like winners.
I can't believe I just found this, so awesome, was at the point that I really started to understand the philosophy of the game!
This is so great! Go Yankees!
9 years old at the time, I ate this World Series up. Wow.
Watching this brings back memories of the contrast at the time between NY and LA culturally. NY was dirty crime ridden and on its way downhill, and LA was bright, sunny, and hip. The land of blondes, babes, surfers and sunshine. But we had the better team!
That Yankees line-up was stacked. As a pitcher, how would you like to be facing Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson, Lou Piniella, Graig Nettles, and Chris Chambliss? ALL good hitters with power
For some reason, Jim Spencer play 1B this game instead of CC
@@spy1965 Spencer comes in for defense. That was Billy's way
Excuse me, REGGIE was a great hitter with INCREDIBLE POWER!!!!!! Get it right dude.
and speed with Rivers and Randolph.
@@spy1965 chambliss and Randolph got injured late in the 78 season

The Big Bad Yankees
Diddo on the comment giving thanks to the people at mlb.I was 10 in 76 when the yankees got swept by the big Red machine.How sweet it was when Reggie joined the Yanks and with him came the swagger necesary to battle the likes of garvey,lopes and cey.The only thing lacking would have been a rematch with the Reds during the 70's with are new found hero....I've been a yankee fan since 76 and theres nothing better than to stroll down memory lane with the likes of mick the quick.
I.always felt cheated, that the Yankees never got to beat the Reds.
Richard Cruz Not the most talented Yankee team but one of the guttiest clubs EVER IN ANY SPORT!!!!! No quit in those boys
Rip Tommy Lasorda and Don Sutton.
And Bob Welch
Garagiola is someone I felt was such a great icon in my youth. Great announcer who was fun to listen to. I don't understand how so little of his stuff is not on youtube. Hs pre-game show on the all-star game was the only reason I waited for the game.
There's a 1971 World Series recording that has survived that I believe you can still watch on RUclips. Game 4 of the World Series. Video starts with Joe's pre-game show.
Very charming, full of class and wit and a great sense of humor. They don't make them like him anymore.
Catch Joe & Ted Williams on Letterman. Joe is a natural storyteller. It's like he's talking to you. Won't spoil it. 😇🇺🇸
Culmination of one of the greatest comeback years by any team ever. And do it on the Dodgers field where the yanks didn't have to run into the clubhouse was great, they celebrated like kids around Catfish and Thurman. After coming back from 2-0 in games. What an amazing World Series win.
19:54 first at bat
Mick the quick 💨 #17 the table setter
Game one of the 2020 WS had nine million viewers. This one averaged 44 million over the six games. Great job, MLB - they'll add five or six more gimmicks to the game in hopes of reaching ten million next year. 👍
It just goes to show you how fall the game has fallen.
Yes. Baseball just isn't the National Pastime. Lockout in '94 sealed baseball's fate. It's the NBA & NFL since the '00s. Ratings don't lie.
Reggie was amped up, after the shock of the quick pitch...his adrenaline had to jump! Another first pitch bomb! If I recall correctly Jackson's first up in game one was a dinger,...coming off the closing three he had in the final game in '77!
Catfish sure did work fast! So enjoyable to watch!
0:00:40... Check out the highlight in the pregame of Hal McRae of the Royals breaking up a possible double play in an ALCS game. Awesome stuff! They would never allow that today. The game has changed.
Yankees vs Dodgers MLB, Celtics vs Lakers NBA, Cowboys vs Steelers NFL in the 70's and 80's always play for the championship back then
Those were great rivalries back in those days. Wish we still had them today.
I love NBC's opening theme song. It brings back memories.
Me too. A lot of childhood Saturday afternoons when the game started at 2 and was over by 4:30.
Curt Gowdy was Hands down the best Man to hold a Microphone regardless what he was covering, RIP Curt,you were 2nd to None!
Reg-gie, Reg-gie, Reg-gie! You would have had to have been alive at the time and being Yankees fan made it all the more exciting. He was the most exciting athlete of the time.
Nettles should be in the Hall. No doubt.
nah
@The cisco kid wasnt a friend of mine You know nothing about sports if you make such judgment from statistics alone.
Thurman Mumson should be in the HOF
Ed Baker I've been a NYY fan since the early 1960's and a big fan of Nettles but a HOF player? Unfortunately I believe he falls short. Munson had Hof talent but injuries shortened his career and killed his chances in my opinion.
@@michaelbelfer6513 I have to disagree with your assessment of Nettles. He was, to put it mildly, awesome. I remember Phil Rizzuto gasping as Nettles would do something at third base that took his breath away. HOF - no question as far as I'm concerned.
I have heard that many pitchers hated to face Thurmon Munson and that they thought he was one of the toughest outs
Even with a 4th place finish by the Yanks in '79, they still had a better W-L record (89-71) than the AL West champion Angels (88-74). That just shows you how tough the AL East was during those years.
That why MLB should have a wild card even in the late '70's. Could have had the 1 wild card play the division winner play in best 2 of 3 game "division series" (all of the game at the division winner park)with winner advancing to the ALCS.
It was a shame that the Red Sox in 1978, did not have a wild card. No offense to the '78 Dodgers they were a damn good team. However the Red Sox that year was clearly the 2nd best team in all of MLB.
@@americangiant1003 Yes. In your scenario after a day off then it would've been Yanks v. Bosox best of three w/NY home field. Even then, prob NY or Bosox would've still beaten Royals. (best of 5). Guess maybe then the Dodgers would've had a chance since NY (still would've won) would be coming into the Series having played 2-3 more games. But Dodgers still wouldn't be on top since they'd be cooled off waiting & NY or Bosox just were the better team. Back then in high school I considered it like a Game 7. Had no doubt either team would win WS.
2:27:33 Thurman Munson chasing a kid who stole his face mask. lol
I like how ordinary people stormed the field after big wins back in those days. It wasn't technically allowed, per se, but the security, cops, and players just kind of shrugged it off as an inevitability. It seems unfathomable today.
That was A Big Tradition at Yankee Stadium.
I saw it, that guy had no idea Munson was on his tail. Munson had less than one year to live. What about that guy yelling in Jackson face at the dug out? Crazy.
Sad that Munson, Hunter, Spencer are all long gone....RIP
And Ohlmeyer as well!
...and Bob Lemon...RIP
Over time, people die.
No Joe or Tony. Just think. All that baseball knowledge & experience is gone. Their memories & stories...well kept secrets. That's the loss we suffer when some one passes. All now in the ultimate HOF.
@@bernieudo4399 As they should be. The problem is, today's broadcasters don't even have a fraction of the wit Joe and Tony had.
Love the theme song. All time fav.
2:27:46 In the background is a man in blue shirt, white pants, carrying a base. That's my husband. He ran out onto the field and literally stole second base. We still have it.
The sad thing about Catfish Hunter is that he is not remembered as he should be. He was a great pitcher, hitter and fielder. Young Madison Bumgarner reminds me of him. The difference is one is rHP and the other LHP.
i agree
The one game I like to have him it was so great
He's in the HOF though.
@@danielkelegian5306 True, but he isn't talked about much outside of baseball fans who were around back in the 1970s to see him play.

Love women of the seventies. No. 1 on my list is Jaclyn Smith. Naturally gorgeous babe. All natural. Classy. No tattoos.
Catfish Hunter got better as the game went on.
That was Catfish's strength. He gave up a lot of home run balls, as the broadcasters mentioned in this game. But in the later game, he became a lot more difficult to face.
Yeah. In today's game he would've been pulled after six. Some of the best pitchers in MLB history took time to control the game. Just slow starters. Now you have to be "on" since you can only pitch for five-six innings. That's it. Gibson, Marichal, & Perry wouldn't survive today's managers. So sad.
I remember Reggie stuck out in game two with the tying run on to end the game. When he step in to the plate I thought this World Series can't end till Reggie get his revenge. Boy did he ever.
Dodger Stadium is STILL one of the very best & beautiful ballparks in MLB!
During this time (1976-1985), MLB had a different system with the World Series Designated Hitter. If the National League Champions held the home field advantage, the DH would be used for each game. If the America League Champions had home field, the pitcher would bat. In 1986, MLB adopted the current rule (NL Park - pitcher bats, AL Park - DH bats) and it has since remained.
I only wish this era could understand baseball like this.
Does anyone know if that ball
Reggie hit off Welch landed yet? 😮
Haha.
2:22:09 Let's give Goose Gossage some love...My hero as a kid.
george brett gave him some love in 80...lol ist pitch, upper deck
@@graciemaemarie11jones16 Ouch...that hurt lol...Yea, Brett had Gossage number, always gave him a hard time.
So good, loved baseball back then it was the glory days where players were respected and no (or very little) showboating. Unlike today, the players respected other team players and were very professional about it. No players hugging each other and caring more about their status.... then the team. Also, if you notice without inter-league play the teams actually felt unknown and it was exciting to see these teams compete in the WS as the intangibles were more competitive (AL vs NL) and would actually mean something. Really miss those days!!!
Sutton vs Catfish two Hall of Famers!
Yeah, I would've expected more from the Dodgers vs. Beattie too, athough he did hold the Royals to only 1 run in 5 and 1/3 innings in Game One of the ALCS that year, and during the big four game sweep of Boston in September, he held the Sox to one run in 8 innnings. He was capable of pitching a good game, and he did. Wille Randolph got hurt the last Friday of the regular season. That's why Doyle was in there. Funny how injuries work to your advantage sometime.
these old games are fun to watch
31:03 Unbelievable throw by Munson
Sweet memories even though my Dodgers lost
Two Hall of Famers pitching against each other...can't bear that. catfish less hits less runs...love the Catfish!
John Ramsey on PA...LEGEND!
1:52:03....... BOOM!
What are they playing when the *Dodgers* are committing *all those errors-* sounds like the theme from _Smokey and the Bandit._ 2:35
The “Hey Day” of Baseball, never the same since.
Viewership is very low for baseball games now, both at the stadiums and on the television. This particular game drew tens of millions of viewers, which is a number baseball hasn't seen in a very long time.
Spencer,Doyle and Dent were a fairly weak hitting infield but they really shined in the series big time.
Thank Bill Veeck's dealings with George Steinbrenner (especially Veeck's constant need for ready cash to pay his players, in the free-agent era) for the presence of Dent and Spencer on the Yankees.
On 5 April 1977, the White Sox traded Bucky Dent to the New York Yankees for Oscar Gamble, Bob Polinsky (minor-league player), LaMarr Hoyt, and $200,000 cash. (Gamble was one of Veeck's one-season "rent-a-players" on the 1977 "South Side Hit Men" White Sox; Richie Zisk was another. Both went free-agent after the season, Gamble to the San Diego Padres and Zisk to the Texas Rangers.)
And then on 12 December 1977, the Yankees got Bob Polinsky back from the White Sox - traded along with Tommy Cruz and Jim Spencer in exchange for Ed Ricks, Stan Thomas, and cash.
Rich Gossage came to the Yankees by a slightly more circuitous route. On 10 December 1976, the White Sox traded Gossage and Terry Forster to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for Richie Zisk and Silvio Martinez. Gossage and Forster both pitched for the Pirates in 1977 - and both went free-agent after the season, with Gossage signing with the New York Yankees and Forster signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers. (Forster had a good year with the Dodgers in 1978, pitching in 47 games that season, all in relief, finishing with a 5-4 record, a 1.93 ERA, and 22 saves. But then he had 3 years of arm trouble, and didn't return to anything like his 1978 numbers until 1982, when he pitched in 56 games (all in relief) for the Dodgers.)
Looking back you got to be impressed at that Yankee comeback. Down 0-2, then winning four straight. This team was better than 1977. Winning that 163rd game had some effect on the Yankees--washed away the drama of the season. With all the distractions of being World Champion & being in NYC this team has got to rank in the top five of Yankee teams.
Dodgers got screwed when Reggie Jackson blocked the baseball thrown to first base. It should have been called one out.
Guidry 25-3.
@@josecarranza7555 Prob. Look. Reggie had game presence & intelligence. Quick on his feet to do what he did. How many players would just freeze? Or just walk back to first with a "you got me" look. This was a turning point for the game & Series. That's why he's still Mr. October.
An amazing Yankee world championship before it all fell apart for a long time thereafter.
Was in New York in mid '80s & George just lost it. Finally stopped micromanaging & let baseball guys run the team. Enter Joe & Brian w/great scouting. Rings followed.
At 2.22 Tom Seaver says the players are playing for professional pride,not the money.... Boy has that changed,LOL.
2:22, That’s Tony Kubek.
These Were The Days! ✨⏳♥️🙏🏽😊
Check out the smog at 1:05. Is this Beijing?
Beattie's misfortune was that the Yanks went out & signed Luis Tiant and Tommy John in the offseason. Since they still had Hunter, Guidry and Figueroa, Beattie wasn't really given the chance he desrved after doing so well for the Yanks down the stretch in 78. In September & October he did a good job, but it was so typical of the Yanks under George to lose faith in a promising youngster quickly if he struggled a bit. Had it not been for GM Gabe Paul, Guidry would've been traded in April of 77.
1:52:05 the bat speed. It's like Reggie waits a few hundredths of a second longer so he can crush the ball.
