Great game! I remember watching this in my bedroom on a little black and white TV as a 12 year old kid. This was a terrible summer in my life and baseball was one of the few things I had to help with fear and depression. Baseball is still my trusty companion after 42 years.
Baseball was my love for years, even when heroin was in my life. Unfortunately I do not recognize today's game, it is not what I grew up with at all. Give me these golden years, they are certainly more respectable than what is called baseball today....
@@GratefulInRecovery you said it...the corrupters have done it intentionally... Implying the hundred plus years of the game was wrongly played and they had to change rules... Automatic runner on 2nd in ex innings? Starting a pitch clock next year. Its evil done on purpose as is everything we are fed
Thurman Munson died tragically after that game only three weeks later, on August 2, 1979 in the infamous plane accident in Ohio where he came from. He was just 32.
I'm currently reading Nolan Ryan's autobiography (awesome book!) and finding this full game here is just amazing. Thank you very much for posting this! So many legends!!
remembered this as a kid...neighbor yells out that Ryan having a no-hitter through 7 innings..all of us ran to our tv sets and watched it...Ryan the greatest ever
"Ryan the greatest ever" ---Uh.. no. Besides the 7 no hitters he also walked the most batters in MLB history. Let that sink in. Ryan is my favorite pitcher ever but he is definitely not the greatest pitcher ever and was certainly an anomaly..
I missed watching this game because at the time as a 8 year old kid in Tacoma, Washington on Friday July 13th, 1979, I climed a 🌳 and took one bad step, fell down and sprained my ankle. Four days later on July 17th, 1979, the MLB All Star game was held at the Kingdome in Seattle. Nonetheless, this was baseball ⚾️ when it was a game for everyone to enjoy as well as the commentary of Keith Jackson, Howard Cosell and Bob Uecker!!! Thanks !!!
Bobby Murcer RIP!! So much pressure on him in the early years of his career with the Yankees to live up to the expectations as the next Mickey Mantle.Still he had a pretty decent career and developed into a very good broadcaster.What a gentleman on and off the field.
Love hearing Ryan's grunt after releasing the fastball...The Angels were clever... They started their night games at 5pm with Nolan Ryan pitching.... Hard enough to see his Fastball in normal light, but in Twilight??? So unfair...lol
He finished this game 12-6 with a 2.54 ERA through 20 starts. He was then injured and went 4-8 with a 5.59 ERA in 14 starts. Derailed his season; he was on a pace to have a much better year than the guy who won the AL Cy Young that year, Mike Flanagan. He pitched well in the postseason but didn't fully recover until the 1980 season.
Great game, broadcast - Jackson, Cosell and Uecker, and great job interjecting the Angels radio guys - Drysdale- overcame BY FAR the audio/video quality you mentioned! Thanks for posting this!
I remember watching this game. Ryan pitched against Boston 4 days earlier. I got a pic with Ryan a month earlier at Exhibition stadium, skipping school for the 1 pm game
Am I the only one that feels like this broadcast and the game of baseball alone was more entertaining back then? (I’m only 18 so I wasn’t even around in 79 😂)
I don’t mean to sound like an old fart, I respect your comments totally. I was 18 back in 1979 and baseball was really fun back then. The comradery was really fun. I use to wait for the Yankee players to come out after the game, just like all the other baseball fans. What a time to be a baseball fan! The players were much more accessible to the fans. I loved the Yankees back then in 1979, they were coming off their two great years. On paper, they had everything going for them in 1979. So sad about Munson’s death. That destroyed that ball club. He was the Captain of the team and the fans loved their Captain. I was lucky as a kid to get Guidry’s autograph along with Luis Tiant. Man, you have no idea how great baseball was back then. I don’t even watch it today. I don’t know any of the players. They are talented guys and I’m not knocking them. I just kinda think the game is to commercialized these days and players are only in it for the big contracts. Today, it’s unheard of for a pitcher to go 9 innings. There are no pitching duels and the cost of tickets kill the average American. Baseball was a working class man’s game.
@@med1965 becomes it was a big event...loved how ABC promoted baseball...NBC did a great job to of promoting baseball before the ogres of cable took over
I watch and listen this these great telecasts because it takes me back to a far better time growing up watching MLB legends and listening to legendary announcers and not the sh!t today.
Nolan was my idol growing up, and this was the first time I ever saw him pitch. A few days later, he started in the All-Star game for the AL in Seattle.
I saw him pitch for the Mets and I was in elementary school when my dad used to take me to the ballgames...a time old tradition that SHOULD last forever...dads taking their sons or daughters to the ballgames

I remember this game I pitched a no hitter the next morning I was in B2 knothole came home I will never forget it I remember Tiant from Boston and the 75 series against my Cincinnati reds. but I remember watching this game and thinking of Nolan while I was picking.
I was at this game, threw my paper route, rode my bike to the stadium. I still have the ticket stub. The Yankees had no chance in the twilight. I thought the error on Miller was a tough call and it should have been a hit.As much as I hated Reggie and the Yankees I was relieved when he got the hit because that error decision would have tainted it.
I was 4 months old when this game was played, and Nolan was already a grizzled, accomplished veteran. 12 years later I would watch him throw a nono on TV for my Rangers on May 1, 1991. I was soooooo excited and there was nobody around to talk to, so I wrote a rap song LOLOLOL
As a Blue Jay fan since 1977, i remember watching that game cheering for Ryan. I was thinking if anyone was going to get a hit, it was going to be Robbie Alomar, but fortunately he struck out, and baseball is better off for it😊
ABC had the Monday Night Baseball package from 1976-1988, and aired Thursday Night Baseball in 1989. It was rare for ABC to televise other night games, but this one was right before the All-Star Break, which meant ABC would've gone two weeks without a Monday night telecast (July 9-23). NBC, on the other hand, usually had 1-2 night telecasts per year from 1976-1989 after they ceded the Monday night package to ABC, most coming on Tuesday or Friday nights.
From his post game interview it seems to me that after the error in the outfield Ryan no longer wanted the fifth no hitter that day because it would always have a shadow of doubt hanging, over it.You will note which team he did pitch his fifth no hitter against.It was nice seeing the RYAN express the way he was back then.
So weird how many of us remember this one from childhood. Monday Night Baseball on a Friday for reasons I didn't get then or now. Middle of July heat. Nolan Ryan being Nolan Ryan.
I remember the next day in the New York daily news Ryan said he was glad he didn't get the no-hitter because he felt Spencer should've been credited with a base hit.
Audio here toggles between KMPC radio and ABC TV. The dubious error in the eighth (2:13:28) was called by Don Drysdale on Angels radio. The clean single in the ninth was described on national TV by Keith Jackson and Howard Cosell (2:36:26). Dick Miller of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner was the official score. The reason this telecast was on Friday was to make up for the lack of a Monday game during the All-Star break.
Bob Uecker is a gem...like Vin Scully was to the Dodgers and NBC...love Uecker, a throwback to a time when broadcasters were unique and appreciated...God Bless him
This was the SECOND ALMOST no hitter for Ryan against the Yankees ! Thurman Munson broke up the first one also in the ninth inning I believe in 1973 . Ryan was fucking AMAZZZZING The guy came DAMN CLOSE to 15 no hitters !!!
I remember seeing this game on television. The local official scorer clearly tried to extend Ryan's bid for a no-hitter when he scored an error on Rick Miller's diving attempt to catch Jim Spencers' sinking line drive to center field. Miller had to make more than an ordinary effort and it should have been scored a hit. I'm glad he lost the no-hitter in the ninth on a clean hit. Ryan wound up his career with a record setting seven no-hitters. He did not need a cheap one that the official scorer tried to give him.
In this Game - Features The Strikeout King (Nolan Ryan and El Tiante and with (7) career No Hitters Career and (5,714) K's. Ryan is unbeatable against all Batters he faces. N.L and A.L Combined with 324 Victories off the Mound. Ryan Express.
Wow! One foot further to the left and Ryan's no hit bid wouldn't have gotten out of the first inning. Munson tried to shoot it down the line and just missed.
And ifs and buts were candy and nuts, everyday would be CHRISTMAS. MILLER misplayed the ball in the 8th, but ANDERSON had a much tougher play in the ninth, that would have called for extraordinary effort to make that play= should've been a hit.. Justice prevailed when REGGIE J. broke it up a batter later..
@@Erborne1979 Angels used to start their games early to take advantage of the stadium shadows because Tanana and Ryan both threw in the mid-90s scaring the hitters who can't see the ball from the sunlit mound coming towards the darker end of home plate
Lou said Ryan would be tired...Not very smart on his part...Thats the greatest pitching arm in the history of baseball.. Guy was throwing 98mph at 45 years old. lol
@@watchout361 Fastball registered at 108.5...!!!! I saw it... Anyone who doesn't think Ryan threw harder than anyone , look up. .Ryan vs White Sox no hit bid. You'll see what I mean.... He fucking blew away Jorge Orta with the fastest fucking Fastball I ever saw.
Look how excited everyone was. They were even broadcasting the game over the stadium loudspeakers. Now pitchers are removed in the middle of a no-hitter or even perfect game. Something has been lost in the name of statistics like pitch counts.
Ryan wouldn’t want a no-hitter under these circumstances with the homer-official scorers calling errors instead of hits especially the error made by the center fielder which would a hit in every game I ever seen....never a Reggie fan...but glad he finally got the hit....
There are plenty of Oakland A's connections on this Friday. In this game, Nolan Ryan came within two outs of his fifth no-hitter. And who broke it up? Former A's great Reggie Jackson. That's who. Later that night in Oakland, the Red Sox' Steve Renko, who had pitched for the A's just a year earlier, took a No-hitter into the 9th inning himself. There, Rickey Henderson singled with just one out to end that bid. Four combined outs from seeing two no-hitters the same night.
I remember watching that game, I was 21 then and at a girl friends home, and had the flu and didn't know it...Sick as a dawg the next morning, worst case of the damned flu I ever had, LOL....Nolan, at his best, was as good as anyone...
As great as it would have been for Nolan to get that no-no, it would have been tainted because that sinking liner that wasn't caught looked more like a hit than error. Nolan in talking to Uecker post game didn't seem to sure of that ruling. It was better that Reggie got the clean single to make the point moot. Besides, Nolan would still pick up 3 more no-no's!
Didn't realize Fregosie ended up managing Ryan, whom he was traded for. The Mets should have been prosecuted for that horrible trade. Munson had just a few weeks to live from the time of this game.
At the time The Mets had Seaver, Koosman a really good pitching staff and Ryan threw hard but had no idea where the ball was going. But yeah in hindsight a horrible trade, for Jim Fregosi who was at end of his playing career

MILLER misplayed the ball in the 8th, but ANDERSON had a much tougher play in the ninth, that would have called for extraordinary effort to make that play= should've been a hit..
Justice prevailed when REGGIE J. broke it up a batter later..
I love how there was never even a question of coming to get him....
You knew when ever Ryan pitched you had 75% chance of winning the game...
@@jamalmccoy4904 his stats that year were polar opposites....he was unhitable at home but struggled on the road
@@Erborne1979 Angels used to start their games early to take advantage of the stadium shadows because Tanana and Ryan both threw in the mid-90s scaring the hitters who can't see the ball from the sunlit mound coming towards the darker end of home plate
Lou said Ryan would be tired...Not very smart on his part...Thats the greatest pitching arm in the history of baseball..
Guy was throwing 98mph at 45 years old. lol
HIS LAST PITCH OF HIS CAREER IN SEATTLE WAS 98 MPH WITH A BUM ELBOW! WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY FASTBALL. ALOT OF NOLAN STUFF.
Lou Pinella always a prick.
@@watchout361 Fastball registered at 108.5...!!!! I saw it...
Anyone who doesn't think Ryan threw harder than anyone , look up. .Ryan vs White Sox no hit bid.
You'll see what I mean....
He fucking blew away Jorge Orta with the fastest fucking Fastball I ever saw.
I remember reading the article about this game in SI. There was a great photo of yankee reaction to the ball Murcer hit that was ruled an error.
Reggie messed up Ryan’s no-hitter! Lol Reggie was kind of like: ‘Sorry about that man...’
Three days rest after a 140 pitch 12k start... Those body parts are not included in humans any more.
Jackson, Cosell, and Uecker!!!
Enjoyed. Thank you
Look how excited everyone was. They were even broadcasting the game over the stadium loudspeakers. Now pitchers are removed in the middle of a no-hitter or even perfect game. Something has been lost in the name of statistics like pitch counts.
RIP

THE SINGING COWBOY!
Nolan ryan pitched for the mets, angels, astros, and the rangers in his MLB career.
Harold Cosell, Keith Jackson and Bob Uecker!
The Angels won their first division in 1979.
Ryan wouldn’t want a no-hitter under these circumstances with the homer-official scorers calling errors instead of hits especially the error made by the center fielder which would a hit in every game I ever seen....never a Reggie fan...but glad he finally got the hit....
There are plenty of Oakland A's connections on this Friday. In this game, Nolan Ryan came within two outs of his fifth no-hitter. And who broke it up? Former A's great Reggie Jackson. That's who. Later that night in Oakland, the Red Sox' Steve Renko, who had pitched for the A's just a year earlier, took a No-hitter into the 9th inning himself. There, Rickey Henderson singled with just one out to end that bid. Four combined outs from seeing two no-hitters the same night.
I can imagine what Don Baylor would have done if he was on steroids....
Luis Tiant "the ancient one" was 38 years old...
The last Yankee game I saw on TV before a trip to Ireland the next day. Came back on August 4 when my Dad told me that Thurman Munson was killed...
Harry Doyle doing broadcasting in this game.
Nolan Ryan wasn't even close to the best pitcher to ever take the mound, but he was easily the most amazing.
I remember watching that game, I was 21 then and at a girl friends home, and had the flu and didn't know it...Sick as a dawg the next morning, worst case of the damned flu I ever had, LOL....Nolan, at his best, was as good as anyone...
California Angels. Back when names were simple.
You mean names were still largely American instead of all these foreigners playing now.
Those two "errors" could just have easily been called hits. The one in the infield, I have seen those called hits probably 837 times.
"Hello again everybody, I'm Keith Jackson"
Munson died 3 weeks later. Crazy
I watched this game and remember people asking throughout the game if he still had no hits.
As great as it would have been for Nolan to get that no-no, it would have been tainted because that sinking liner that wasn't caught looked more like a hit than error. Nolan in talking to Uecker post game didn't seem to sure of that ruling. It was better that Reggie got the clean single to make the point moot. Besides, Nolan would still pick up 3 more no-no's!
Ryan got squeezed bigtime in this game.
I was wondering if they were going to mention anything about the event that happened the night before.
Howard,that's not telling it like it is.Tony
Munson only had a few weeks to live......so sad
Didn't realize Fregosie ended up managing Ryan, whom he was traded for. The Mets should have been prosecuted for that horrible trade. Munson had just a few weeks to live from the time of this game.
The new York mets had to be out of their minds to trade away Nolan Ryan lol...
At the time The Mets had Seaver, Koosman a really good pitching staff and Ryan threw hard but had no idea where the ball was going. But yeah in hindsight a horrible trade, for Jim Fregosi who was at end of his playing career
2 years later Ryan would break Sandy Koufax's no-hit record with his 5th for my Astros.
19 days prior to the saddest day in America as we lost the Captain of the New York Ysnkees
