This is one of those clips that is going to be played forever
This^
Seems like this era of Friar Baseball is going to have a lot of these moments, after being pretty bleak the past 20 years.
Mlb.tv plays flashback highlights during commercial breaks. This is undoubtedly going to be there.
ive already have played it 20 times and im not even a Padres fan. Its just insane and I feel so godam happy for the guy. Hes literally a nobody on that team, he knows no one. What a way to introduce yourself...
Giants fan, and of course I want the Giants to go all the way. But, wouldn't this highlight fit so nice in a World Series Film!
I teared up honestly. Probably won't ever happen again for him, he'll probably get sent back down next week, that's just the way it is... But doing this for his boyhood club off a cy young winner none the less is remarkable.. unreal
Hope the absolute best for the guy, but no matter what happens from here on out, you can never take this moment away. SPECIAL!!!
Off of a future hall of fame, for sure. Unreal
@@KingNyanCat ur right,, watched it again, down and in 96 mph fastball, that ain't easy even if ur doing it everyday 😆
It is so hard not to be romantic about sports sometimes
A week? Doubt it... they keeping him the rest of the year for that hit.
“Bad timing huh”….yea for anyone facing bases full of PADRES!!!!
Credit to the broadcast team who knew that his family was in the stands and already had a camera on them. Wonderful for such a moment to be caught on camera to make it immortal.
Also, it's just nice to see a pitcher who doesn't give up on batting practice.
something about these hometown boys. first joe & now camarena.. crazy
You betcha yah great moment.
Could be your year.
@@Daniel-fd3wp ain’t nothing better than a local boy winning one for the hometown
After decades of the Padres being shit. It’s a beautiful thing.
Aside from the legendary moment, that was a hell of an at bat. That wasn’t luck.
Was thinking the same thing. That was a good take on the change up, and the hr ball wasn’t a bad pitch, a Scherzer 96 and well below the zone, that’s no joke, but Camarena just went down and got it.
@@mensrea1251 And the home run trot? He did that like he knew what he's doing.
it was a good pitch! Camarena just said like my ballz lol
If there was ever a moment to actually top Musgrove's No-Hitter....THIS. IS. IT!!!! Surreal moment.
LOL, since I was about five miles from the stadium when Musgrove no-hit my Rangers, I have to agree with you. This is on par with Stephen F. Austin upsetting #1 Duke in basketball a couple of years ago. Whitney Houston sung it: "One moment in time, when I'm more that I thought I could be . . ." That is why you watch sports.
@@noeltaylor3594 I was there for the no hitter. We went just as crazy as Daniels brother so it’s really close
I see a movie in the future … a baseball version of the movie, Invincible, starring Mark Wahlberg.
@@goaliedon I see a movie happening too...but with an 85 year old Kevin Costner.
Being from SD makes this all better. Have a day Daniel Camarena
Just like how Musgrove is from SD and threw the first padre no hitter. This team is WILD and I’m all for it
The San Diego kids making history!
Musgrove with the No-No, and Camarena introducing himself to SLAM DIEGO!!!!! Ya gotta love it!!!!
For San Diego🙌
these are the moments that kids grow up imagining themselves playing, and that's all the more reason to love baseball
Been a Pads fan since 75' I hope this team can do it. Hope the Pads or Chargers could win at least once in my lifetime
I hope the same for you Richard!!
I waited till ‘17 for the Astros…and it finally happened!!
The Padres time WILL come!!
@@BRO77TX trashtro's*
with Herbet, the chargers are 100% at least two rings...there's no doubt about it
As a baseball fan, thank you for editing and posting this extended cut. I sincerely appreciate it.
Me too! I had a dinner meeting with a client and saw the fiasco of the first three innings and figured I wouldn’t miss anything. When I got home, I turned the game back on in time to see Pham lead off the 9th with a hit, advance to third and Grish get the game winning hit!
I was at this game, it was crazy. Someone proposed right in front of us after Tatis jr.. went yard.
Nice!
Quite a day for you. Certainly never to be forgotten.
I was there too! I was in the section to the left right by them! Right field foul pole!
As a Red Sox fan and not a fan of either team, this is the highlight of the year in MLB for me so far. Congrats, Daniel!
But, to hear Don Orsillo make the call, doesn’t it take you back??
@@brentduanefoster Yes, I miss that guy.
@@michaelmichael3308 I lived in the Bean from 2000 to 2007, Don and Jerry Remy were the best together.
I agree@@brentduanefoster
aS a ReD sOx FaN
This was an epic moment for him, his family and of course the Sand Diego Padres community itself!
Everything was....perfect.
Man, if I were his brother, my knees would’ve buckled too!! CRAZY!!!!
surreal moment!
St. Louis Cardinals fan here (for life) I don't think I have ever been happier for a player I have never heard of, on someone else's team. 🍻
as a Dodger fan, congrats Padres! a hell of a comeback!
I watch this clip over and over. One of my favorite moments. Not only has long road and perseverance in the minors, but to be able to handle that pressure of bases loaded and to follow through with that grand slam in front of his family. I guarantee you 99% of all young boys and men dream of something like this. I sure hope they make this a movie.
Feeling like we got the best announcers in all of baseball.
So surreal, awesome and unexpected! You couldn't script this! Given Camarena's long struggle to make it to the show, persevering after his father passed away to arrive at this moment of hitting a grand slam for his first MLB hit in his home town in front of his entire family with two strikes against arguably one of the best pitchers in MLB, and inspiring the Padres to overcome an 8-0 deficit, it was just so special and incredible to see and hear it live at Petco ! And that pitch by Scherzer wasn't even a strike! Best baseball moment I've ever witnessed! Reminds me of Jim Morris (portrayed by Dennis Quaid in "The Rookie"), only better... Someone should make an inspiring movie about Camarena's life!
Absolutely!!!
That's probably the greatest Padres comeback win I've ever seen!! Magical!
Seeing his families reaction was amazing!! I’m so happy for them and Daniel!!! Congratulations on the first hit and homerun!!!
Agree^^
He was my pitching coach
Slamarena!! 🇲🇽 🇺🇸
11 years of perseverance. Then you can just sense Daniel’s humility. Love this moment for him and his family.
So proud of you Daniel Camarena on your Grand Slam!!!!! 💛🤎💛🤎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The LEGEND OF SLAM DIEGO Lives On!! Congratulations to Daniel, his Family and his teammates on the win and on making MLB history!!
What's most mind blowing about this, IMO, is that Scherzer was taking the at bat seriously. This wasn't James Shields serving up a middle/middle meatball to Bartolo Colon, this was Max Scherzer pitching to Camarena like he was a threat at the plate.
That was a *good pitch*, 96, down and in, not even a strike. And Camarena didn't just hit it out, he CRUSHED it.
Baseball is so cool dude
I'm a Mets fan, but this was dope! Great job. Congrats to him!
I’m a Red Sox fan, but I gotta say this is fucking awesome! I’ve watched it so much I’ve lost count.
I'm not a Padres fan but this was really special! This is why I love baseball. What a moment!
Red sox fan here… great call from orsillo… miss him as our play by play
I love how aggressive and young the Padres are. They have a team that can last a decade, especially with young guns like Fernando and Ha-Seong.
Man, I miss living in San Diego!
You and me both, friend.
Unfortunately, I can't afford to live in San Diego. I mean, who can, any longer?
I lost count how many time I seen this video ! & I was there at the game still can’t believe it!!! Go pads 4 lifeeee!!!
"I almost fainted" love it.
I'm so glad I was at this game. I will never forget this moment. I'm so happy I got to witness it in person.
History, possibly the last ever pitcher home run and the last Pitcher Grand Slam in MLB history
Watching this by myself after a long night.....MADE ME SMILE......
I get chills every time watching this replay. A Slam of the Century, an instant padre hero, Daniel Camarena.
Even though he went to my rival high school, Cathedral Catholic, all the best to the guy 👍🏽
*"The memory will live in our heart..."*
Another reason to love baseball. Right here
Love from Cleveland, Ohio....
As a Reds fan this was incredible to see. Great to see it wasnt a highlight against us. Seen enough of those this year! But a great hometown story to see!
I was at the game when another journeyman Padre, Chris Denorfia, hit a pinch hit walk off, first pitch against Chapman and your Reds. I thought no moment could top that outside of winning a chip, I was wrong. Thanks for the love from Cincinnati.
@@tonyattardo9350 ugh I remember that. 8 or so years ago. Denorfia started with us. Remember him here in 2006. So that was even more salt to that wound with that blast. Good luck rest of season. We are up against Brewers starting 2nd half 4 games out from them. The NL Central has been a free for all this year with teams hot then cold. Us on a hot streak now. You guys got a squad that can ball, hopefully you guys pit it together 2nd half
I love the fan just casually doing the hand jive @1:35 😂
I can only imagine the amount of games him and his brother went to with his family at the stadium. Now they have another great memory for the books. That homer was a gift from pop for sure. How can you hate baseball?
As a Phillies fan and baseball fan for 70 years this video never gets old. It was good to be Daniel Camarena.
Craziest thing we've seen at Petco Park
This kid is for sure gonna get like a 30 min documentary about this hit in 10 years I guarantee lol
At a minimum. Remember the movie Invincible? This certainly could be MLBs version of it, with a more dramatic finish!
Oh man, what a story. And the interview with his brother and mom at the end. I've got something in my eye.
I thought I was watching a movie. Insane moment. GOT TO LOVE IT.
How about we support Mudcat and walk with him from Alpine to downtown! Hehe
Let’s go!!! I’m so happy that hometown kids are becoming hometown heroes
David vs Goliath, great come back, congrats!
That call haunts me every single day. I hear it in my head all the time, and I love it. This was one HELL of a game.
Fantastic!…this was an unbelievable event for a pitcher debut from a long stint in minor leagues…and to share it with his family…Doesn’t get any better than this
this is the video i always show people when they ask me what baseball is about :)
Best MLB moment I’ve seen since Kirk Gibson’s HR.
This is for SWVLL. I remember him as a 6year old t ball player he got sent up to play with the older kids in the 7 to 8 year old caps and more than held his own.Always hustling
To me…the no hitter is the game of the year…and the GS is the moment of the year! Still amazing 🥲
Opposing teams can just never load the bases against the padres. Ever. No matter if the batter coming up is a PITCHER in his 2nd MLB AB. Doesn't matter. There's some kind of magic on this team.
U can hang a star on that one one of the best comebacks ever
Wow this team is relentless. Couldn’t write a better script. Go Padres!!
What a great family!
He wasn't the hero san Diego asked for...but it's the one they got!!! Camarena!!! A hero we all love!
I didn't realize it was with two outs. Just wow.
After Camarena hit that Grand Slam, Max Scherzer was like,
“Iight, I’ma head out…”
WHOA!!! 11 years in the minors…and come into the majors like THAT.
Just met him at balboa bay club tonight super cool humble guy he’s just coming off tommy John surgery, even being a dodger fan was cool watching this video with him right next to me with his brother in telling me to look up his highlights and this comes up
A lot of historic and crazy things happening with Padres this year
Great family!!!
Story is amazing !!!!
Will make a great movie one day! It will be MLBs version of “Invincible”, starring Mark Wahlberg.
I was watching this game and I said that would be amazing if he hit a grand slam for his first hit for slam Diego not knowing he was a pitcher
Don't tell me that man is a pitcher...that swing was legit, looking like an everyday hitter at the least. inside low fastball, located with perfection, and the guy slammed Mad Max. we'll see you for a long time, Daniel.
One of the best moments in a season full of great moments!
What a cool moment for him, his family and the fans.
Congrats to daniel camarena i played with ur bro in tj " milo llerenas " saludos mi louie camarena thats awsome well done!!!!🙌
I can't stop watching this!
What's crazy, is that it was a damn good pitch too! He had to go down after that one! EPIC! Welcome to the big leagues dude!
Being from SD and going to the same high school he went to makes this moment amazing. Once a Don, always a Don.
“Brought up to be the long guy…” Mission Accomplished. 😎
This was Amazing
What a story, what a moment! You can't make this stuff up. Let's go Padres!
Great call Don, miss that voice calling Red Sox games with Jerry.
I couldn’t BELEIVE my eyes
Free beers for life for Danny over here
May God bless the Camarena family
Thank you lord Jesus for baseball.. I LOVE IT
That wasn't a coincidence, he had a hell of an at bat. Camarena going I am legend on his first day. Crazy!
🎶Ay-y-y-y Camarena, all right!🎶
Of all things to be proud of to a starting career, nothing could feel better than this! Congrats!!!
So epic, cous!!!!!!!!!!!! Beyond amazing
Fav part: Don Orsillo screaming: blazing San Diego!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love listening to Don.
* plays in Slam Diego
I'm now a fan of slam Diego
I don't think he realises what he has done to the World of Baseball, the humble appearance is making it even more EPIC..... Heroic!
unbelievable!!!
This never gets old. It is literally the reason we say…”how can you not be romantic about baseball…”
the fact that we won this game is monumental
Bad timing right Don. I must have watched his 50 times already and I don't get old it just gets better.
Someone finally topped Koo Dae-Sung hitting a double off of Randy Johnson lol. I love how weird baseball is.
As a lifetime fan of baseball and the Phillies fan who grew up loving the 1993 team. I would just like to thank your entire organization for letting the players be themselves and making baseball fun again!!!
I'm into watching this drama these days.
It's “SD Fadres”
Today's hero is Camarena, who drove everyone crazy at 1:19
It’s amazing
as a nats fan its hard to see your best pitcher have a bad day like that but camarena's hit was absolutely incredible and you can't help but feel good for him. this is one i'm not upset about losing, padres deserved that win.
Congrats to Daniel. Can’t imagine what it feels like to do this in your second career at bat
