This hit me right in the feels. I hope Harrison knows the fans loved watching him every bit as much as he loved the fans. I lost my dad to cancer at the end of March this year -- one of the last conversations we had was about how he was so glad we were getting baseball this year, and the one player he said he couldn't wait to see on TV again? Bader, or ""Goldilocks" as he called him. Just a class act that exemplifies heart and hustle.
I just wanted to say that this comment really touched me. I lost my dad earlier this year as well and every time the Yankees had a big win, him and I would talk about how amazing Aaron Judge was and how excited we were to see him in the postseason. I can’t imagine how it’s gonna feel next year if he’s not a Yankee
What an amazing player - his energy and enthusiasm is unmatched. I will miss him!
Beautiful...The St Louis Cardinals are a class organization, and it is often said they have the best fans in baseball. I think many players would agree. Special place, special fans.
Best organization I'm sports IMO
Well you know what's on the other side of the cornfield...Busch Stadium
And Matt Carpenter is great guy, too.

Oops, this one.

Man, this made me tear up. My husband and I always have and always will call Bader "Sunshine"....he was always smiling. He reminded us of the character Sunshine from Remember the Titans. Just always smiling, the best upbeat demeanor. Thank you Bader, you will be missed.
He was mic'd up for a game about a month ago, and listening to him then showed he' s an intelligent fun-loving guy who clearly loved playing in St Louis. I'll miss him, his exuberance for the game was something special.
This is the kind on leader we needed,I seen my Yankees had the with Jeter, I see Bader becoming a monster of a Yankee thank you St Louis for this kind of player.
Spread the man-bun ashes anywhere in the mighty Mississippi Harrison!! Your hustle will be remembered in the STL
A truly inspiring guy. Thanks for your kind words and for all you did for St Louis.
Thanks for all your hustle! Wonderful interview!
We enjoyed having you Harrison, sad you aren't still here, but wish you nothing but the best with the Yankees, your both a great player, but an even better man. Thank you for your time in St. Louis, God Bless.
Aww, I loved watching him play, the energy he exudes was just so fun to watch. Hope to see him back with the Cards someday.
Thanks for your kind words and for all you did for St Louis.
I’ll never forget him scoring from second base on a wild pitch (trailing the man who scored from third)
Harry we thank you for your hard work and great work ethic! You are a joy to watch! And your smile radiates that joy! Wishing you all the best and maybe you'll be back with us again someday! Keep doing your thing, you do it well!
Can't wait to watch him play in the Bronx. Seems like solid guy.
Ohhhh take it from this St. Louis boy....your gonna love this guy ! Just a good dude with lots of genuine and positive energy that plays his ass off.
Best of luck Bader! Got me all emotional man!! Loved every second of watching you play out there in center. You’re my hero
You have been and always be a Cardinal Harrison. I wish you all the health and success in the world. One day you will come back as a player and get the cheers and respect you so deserve. Best of luck!
Problem is...we aren't likely to see the Yankees in St. Louis again for several years UNLESS its in the WORLD SERIES. WS 2022 sounds good to me !
I'm heartbroken about this! Bader is a joy to watch, and he will be missed so much. I'm a Cards fan, but I know they screwed up trading him 😭💖
Bader will ALWAYS remain a favorite of Cardinal fans. Harrison such a joy to watch and his enthusiasm was always contagious. If Flaherty, Matz, Reyes and Hicks hadn't all got hurt and left gaping holes in the starting rotation, this trade would never have happened. It hurts to see him traded, but at least is was all about trying to fill a desperate need and nothing about his play or attitude. Yankees are a nice place to be traded to, hoping for continued success there.
Our entire family are lifelong Cards fans. We LOVE Harrison Badger. My 83 year old mother literally cried when she heard he was traded.
We wish him well with the Yankees. He is from NY and I believe he grew up being a Yankees fan. I’m sure if you asked him where he wanted to go if he left STL he would have picked the Yankees. He will get to play in front of his family and friends.
We will miss you Bader!! And when you return to STL some day, we’ll give you a standing O!!! Stay classy!!
We miss him already, he is one of a kind no equal.
H.B. CONDITION CRONIC CANNOT RUN 🏃🏻♂️
Oh just stop it.
Thank you Harrison Bader, you made such an impact on the field and the fans in St. Louis will NEVER forget what you did for this team in every way.
You are a Class Act, Mr Bader, wishing you good luck and lots of success in your MLB. I'm sure St Louis fans will miss you.
Altuve's ears perked up when you said your jersey vibrates
🤣
What till he hears cheers during a playoff game at Yankee stadium. He's gonna love NY
We love you and miss the heart of our team
HB, good luck in NY. ❤️StL
I wish nothing but the best for this kid.
This really makes me sad but I'm also excited for him to see what the future holds for him. I hope to see him back with St Louis. As much as he loved us we love him just as much. Thank you Harrison ❤️❤️❤️
We'll be watching Harrison. You may not be in StL anymore, but you'll always be a Cardinal.
You always be a Cardinal in my heart. Go luck ok.
It sucked so much that Harrison got traded, freaking broke my heart. You'll always be a Cardinal!
Bader, we all wish you luck in new York and just like carpenter, we will cheer you on every step of the way
We will all miss you Harry Once a cardinal always a cardinal 🕊
🥺🥺🥺😭 I'm not crying okay now I'm crying 🥺🥺😭😭😭
Best of luck to you buddy loved watching you play every night you came into that field you made it count and despite leaving you will always be a great player good luck in NY buddy
He will be missed but he will always be part of the Cardinal family. Godspeed Bader!
good luck in your future. will be rooting for you.
Will Miss HB Dearly
Amazing shave Harrison. Just brilliant. Your pinstripes await.
I'm a kid you where my favorite Cardinals players
If you play smart and just as hard the Yankee fans will fall in love with you. Best Wishes...excited that you're in NYC. Go Yankees
We gonna miss you harry!
Gonna miss that guy, I'm bummed out about this trade. Never heard of the guy we got in exchange!!!
definitely going to miss him! It was a pleasure! He should of kept the hair!
He can't. Yankees don't allow long hair or beards.
My wife always complained about his long hair, but if I were his age I would do the same thing. Yankees, you’re gonna love this guy’s energy!!! Long hair or short hair.
You can't with the Yankees they don't allow beards and long hair
Be the best Yankee you can be, but you will always be a Cardinal!
Cant wait to see if u come back hopefully u do
Bader just a different player gonna miss him so much
Class act.
We'll miss you Bader
Good luck Bader!!
Update on the plantar fasciitis please? -- Bader is known for his speed -- on the bases which also allows him to cover a lot of ground in centerfield - the concern is how your game will be effected by this type of heel/foot injury that has been known to take ten months to heal - GM Brian Cashman seems to be overly confident that Bader will be able to play at a high level in September.
I get the trade. Passion is hard to replace. He is missed; best wishes for a great phase back home. K
That's why everyone says it's the best baseball town in the country. Indeed it is.
Saint Louis is baseball heaven, it's the other side of the cornfield. Best team, best fans, best beer!
We will never forget you Harrison, we will always 💙❤️ you.
Totap class act he grew on me
😢
Who is my favorite is fine
Bader. Once a cardinal always a cardinal. Big chance you might be back. Cardinal nation hopes.
I’m gonna Miss him . Resect
Thanks Bader you weren’t the best but you embodied how to play. You will be missed
One of the best trades Mozeliac has ever made...
I’m going to miss my wife screaming “master Bader” every night in my house regardless of the company.
That's great!
That's awesome
I love your wife, my kinda gal
@@craigstewart6879
Thanks…She’ll keep!!!
TOTS!!
...NO, thank You, Harry !
He'll still be fun to watch, even if he has New York across his chest now.
I really enjoyed watching you play. I also like the haircut Goldilocks!
6 seasons????? No way its been that long
Bally sports is a joke won't negotiate with dishnetwork so I can watch my beloved cardinals
matte robinson house guest brig it back asap
Resign with st louis when your a free agent please
Because we'll ROOT! ROOT! ROOT FOR THE Home team. If they don't win it's a shame.
Because it's 1!
2
3!
Strikes out at Ye' Old Bald Game!
Better than Carlson, mistake your trade
Aww schucks 🥲🥲🥲
Im a Yankees fan, but this no beard and hair length policy is so dumb. Look at the guy, just another one who needs to fit the mold. And before you boomers say: "ItS oNe Of ThE tHiNgS tHaT mAkE thEm UnIqUe", go touch grass. If the NY and the pinstripes are not unique enough, I dont know what is. Just get rid of this stupid rule already, ffs.
Oh, and welcome to the Yankees, Harrison!
yankee fans this is a warning. never boo bader.
LOL Okay we'll cheer when he isn't playing well 🤣. That'd be worse, pretty sarcastic no?
yankee fans really suck. they are being deceived by stintbrenner the lousy owner and they do not even know it. his disgusting black pimple ass gets fatter each and every day as he just sits in his mansion and watches his yankee bank account grow by the millions. stintbrenner will not spend his precious money on young free agents or even call up the kids. yes cheer bader all the time no matter what gc1282 yankee fan.
Phillies still better
Hahaha. I'd look up when the Phil's last world series was but I'll just point to the 11 banners in Busch.
He was such a fun Cardinal's player to watch. Bader really controlled that outfield for us, and earned that Gold Glove. I'm sad and disappointed that he was traded, really wish he could have stayed. But, I'm really thankful for the time he spent in St. Louis, the energy he brought, the highlight reel moments, and especially the hard work he put in to make himself better, it is all appreciated. I hope his foot gets better really soon and he gets to have a good career for the Yankees. I hope the fans love him as much as Cardinals fan do. It's hard to say bye, but good luck, and remember, once a Cardinals always a Cardinal.
From an old guy who went to sleep at night to the voice of Jack Buck as a child..... Good luck to you young man. I hope to see countless highlights of you in center for years to come, regardless of whether the birds on the bat is across your chest or not. Go on and be great.

I didn't think i would get emotional watching this. You can tell how much he loved it in St. Louis and it's a shame he was traded but I'm sure he would be welcomed back anytime.
Hope he makes it back to us in the future.
We ALWAYS welcome them back. Was there last weekend when Carpenter came back. So glad to be a Cardinals fan.
I will miss seeing Harrison.I thought it was a joy to watch him play the game. I wish him success wherever he plays.
class act!! Wishing you the best Bader!!
You are a special one of a kind Harrison Bader. You brought so much joy and excitement to St. Louis fans. We grew to believe anything from you was possible. I don't think you'll ever know how many fans will miss you and the fun times you brought to Busch Stadium. I have to admit I was livid when I found out it was true that you had been traded but now my hope for you is to make the Yankees proud and for their fans to get to know the real Bader and all he has to give of himself to their team. May your life be filled with peace!! Cathy Malin
I'm sad to see one of my favorite players leave good luck Harrison.
We love you Harry Bader! See you in the World Series!
forever a Bader fan! ♡♡♡ thank you for making this girl fall in love with baseball all over again!♡♡♡
Do not worry us yankees will take good care of him and take care pf Montgomery for the yankees fans for us
He’s my Jersey and I’m legit so sad
It was a joy to watch you play center and run the bases! Best of luck in NY!
I went into this video telling myself I wasn’t going to cry, and I’m leaving it with a box of tissues. Harrison was by far my favorite player on this team, which says a lot, considering how I’ve grown up with Yadi and Wainwright, but Bader truly brought pure energy to the game, and I loved how you could see him give 150% every time he stepped on the field. I’m really gonna miss seeing him in St. Louis, but I’m so glad I got to see him play. We love you Bader, and we’d love to see you back if both you and the organization want it later on!
Couldn't of said it better myself. But once a Cardinal Always a cardinal.
Cards had to let somebody go as much as i didn't want them to. We needed pitching help bad. Thank you bader for the skill and good times you brought to the team.
What a tremendous guy. Thank you Harrison Bader. ST Louis fans love you.
I wasn't happy giving up a quality starter for an injured .250 hitter, until I saw highlights of Bader. Looking forward to his speed & enthusiasm in N.Y. Both teams should enjoy the trade.
.250 hitter with 15 homers and 50 rbi every season, the bat is not supposed to be anything special. He can get 20 stolen bases a season, he will have outstanding center field defense and baserunning.
He WILL hit .300 in New York. Maybe not at first, but he will. I blame the Cardinals "hitting guru" Jeff Albert for parts of his hitting approach that darn near RUINED Matt Carpenter. Now you see what Carpenter is capable of now that he is free of Jeff Albert. Im predicting the same with Harrison. If he doesn't hit .300 next year, he will by 2024 ! Im willing to bet on that. Yankees fans will love him !
Yankee fan here: Thank you STL. We promise to take care of Bader. We just ask that you all take care of Monty too. He's a class act.
Welcome to the yankees see you in September
Thank you for showing Class 👍
@@cortlandhall8896 im excited to have harrison as a 30 year yankee fan
We got a quality pitcher and you guys got a quality defender. He's right at home too (he's from New York)
@@charlesharrington3890 im gonna miss monty sadly i cannot control what cashman does
The speed and enthusiasm you brought to the team was valuable - wish you all the best. Who knows? Maybe you'll be back some day.
Gosh I miss Bader 😤😤😤
Thank you Harrison, enjoyed watching you play, the energy you brought, just glad you were able to go to New York, wish you nothing but the best, I'll always be a fan.
Class act! Wish him all the best!
Thank you Harrison, we will miss you!
Thank you Mr. Bader! You will be remembered as giving your all.
I've been a Cardinal fan since they had Harry Caray AND Jack Buck in the booth. I'd strap my transitor radio over my ear with a belt in the days before headphones to listen to them call games while I mowed yards as a kid. So I've seen LOTS of great Cardinal players. Harrison, you are special. Thanks. Hurts to see you go, but what a tribute to you that you get to play for the two most storied, successful clubs in baseball. AND you're back 'home'. Can't wait to root against you & Carp when we meet in the Big Show!
All the best, young man...
My father was the baseball fan in our family and I never paid much attention to it. I happened to start watching a Cardinals game while having a drink at a local bar. I hadn't been a permanent resident of St Louis for long, so had no long association with the team. But Bader caught my attention. He is fun to watch. His enthusiasm for the game is on open display when he's on the field. His pleasure and excitement after making a good play is obvious. Some in St Louis seemed to take it as a display of ego. I find his pleasure entertaining. I like seeing someone showing they're excited about what they're doing. I get excited because they are. I'm still not what I'd call a baseball fan, but I am a Cardinals fan because of Harrison Bader. I'll miss his flash and style.
