Bottom of the third inning from Progressive Field in Cleveland, OH. You can see the center field camera start to shake a little bit after the 2-1 pitch to Shin-Soo Choo. Then after a hard foul ball, it really starts shaking, and WTAM Indians announcer Tom Hamilton comments about it.
Unfazed, Choo strokes a double to the gap in right field. Later hitting a 3-run home run to win the game in the bottom of the ninth, just a day after the birth of his third child, Abigail.
Go Tribe!
Video is from SportsTime Ohio, audio from WTAM 1100 in Cleveland. Sorry about the audio and video quality.
Shin-Soo Choo is the most underrated player in baseball, and not just because he hit a double during an earthquake
He sucks he blows he cringe
Dude he was one of the most overpaid players in baseball his last 7 seasons.
@@timb4248 and of course it was my rangers overpaying as per usual
Who?
All asian athletes are underrated by default, not just him
Did this dude hit a double during an earthquake
Asian dudes take things in stride.
TigerMeadows but asians can't see all the time because of the eyes ya know
joseph rivera now he plays for da rangers and hit a home run last night
In Cleveland the higher you are the more you feel it he probably didn't even notice it
Caedyn Paulson it happened for the whole video idiot
I was at this game with my grandparents and being a 6 year old at the time, it was so weird feeling the earthquake up in the cheap seats. Choo then hitting the walkoff homer later was one of the coolest sports memories I have.
Elijah, doesn't Choo look so young in this video? Our family saw them play the Reds and none of that team is playing for them now. Possibly Bryan Shaw I forget.
Yes he does! Shaw has been around a long time, although I don’t know how much he has left.
One of? If you have a cooler sport memory then please share
Lol nothing can beat my first trip to Fenway! Awesome ballpark, to say the least.
@@elijahconklin1651 I've always wanted to see Fenway
"This broadcast booth continues to shake back and forth"
"I have no idea what's going on"
Yeah it's probably a nuclear bomb
+Jeremy Daugherty (strim355z) They were not their so they could not feel it
+GD Xstep (strim355z) well to be fair we almost never get earthquakes in ohio
did they ever confirm that's what it was (being a California native, I'm 95% sure it was an earthquake but you never know (I've heard of instssnces where shaking feels like a quake only to find out it was something else.
Danny Eyheralde yes it was, it only lasted a few seconds, and it was caused by fracking
Das Re although for these broadcasters, those few seconds must've felt like an eternity
Strongest earthquake east of the Rocky Mountains in 60 years, gets a stand up double.
Like a boss
Earthquakes east of the Rockies are felt further away than earthquakes west of the rockies because of less disturbed crust allowing the waves to travel/be felt further away. If you actually calculate it out due to the difference in the crust, this 5.9 in Virginia was about the equivalent of a 7+ in Cali.
Nintenkid91
Its not just the state of the crust but also the material/density. The more dense it is the better it conducts energy and hence the further the quake will travel. This quake was felt as far as Cananda. 7+ in Cali tho? The 1989 7.0 quake collapsed roads and ruptured gas lines.. This one shook my light shades..
Nintenkid91 not true- the 5.9 quake did not have any where near the shaking intensity of a 7.0 . that 5.9 was not in any way a big quake. - I was in the 1994 6.7 Northridge quake-that was a violent quake; the quake back east was a moderate after shock by comparison. many things affect the shaking intensity of any particular quake- the depth of the fracture, soil type, the type of fault; strike / slip, blind thrust, subduction zone etc. The East coast had a moderate earthquake, thats all.
kseries1981 we don't get earthquakes up here dummy
kseries1981
The batter comes from the land of eternal tsunamis
I was at a Ruby Tuesday when this happened. The fucks next to us thought we were shaking their table.
omg XD
PureValLiam oml
PureValLiam 😂😂😂😂
PureValLiam Ohioans don’t know any better
DECO graff shut up bitch.
Shin Soo Choo's OPS during earthquakes is insane. I'm kind of surprised ESPN doesn't have a graphic on this.
Lmfaoooo
***** Holy shit
his name isn't LeBron that's why
WakeRunCollapse I don't get it
Much like the skyscrapers of Japan, Choo has been engineered to "ride out" earthquakes by swaying back and forth. Japan actually teach kids this during earthquake drills
It wasn't an earthquake it was just my ex jogging
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!
That's brutal man
I though it was my mother-in-law
Jokes on you you dated her
Bri Guy true xD
Sounds like Tom Hamilton is broadcasting from my bathroom.
Chris Kay he was recording the TV
Chris Kay I'm listening to this audio in my bathroom..imagine that
Chris Kay Hahahahhahha W
LOL
I think Tom Hamilton is broadcasting from HIS bathroom. 🚽
I like how the commentators are just so chill about it like nothing ever happened
Because it’s unexpected and doesn’t feel like much honestly.
They're not nearly as violent as you'd assume, given how much damage they used to cause. But building codes are different now, they rarely cause damage to anything but sidewalks anymore. I think the most interesting thing about an earthquake is, just a fraction of a second before it hits, you can feel the air pressure change. Just long enough for you to think "oh I feel weird" and then you feel the shaking start 😂
No...they were kinda freakin out. Don't know WTF you were watching.
Sounded nervous to me, talking about the press box shaking 😬 😳
I live bout 60 miles from Cleveland and remember it. Wasn't huge but it was noticeable.
***** Wasnt aware you had a degree in seismology. Your immature name calling really shows ur ignorance. Grow up.
***** "Your" refers to you. "You're" is a contraction for "you are". Make sure the next time you want to correct someone's grammar that you at least do it properly.
***** Its been quite entertaining on my end as well. Warmest regards.
+Donna Gilhousen it makes sense tho "well now you are aware" that really does make sense
I live 10 miles from cleveland
Shin-Soo Choo: the only player in MLB history to record a base hit during an earthquake.
In fact, there is a fault line under Lake Erie that may or may not be continuous with the one that goes through Virginia. While they felt this earthquake on 8-23-11 in downtown Cleveland (that was right under Mineral, VA), we even had a stronger one felt in southern Michigan back in 1986. That one even opened up a couple of new drainage channels under the road I live on only about two to three miles away from my house!
Throwback to when there was no Indians fans.
lol
There were Indians fans back then.
I will say we have a lot more now.
brownsfan64 Well not much now after the blown 3-1 and 2-0 lead to CHC/NYY 😆
Always Indians fans, we just can't afford tickets!
This was the magnitude 5.8 earthquake whose epicenter was in Virginia; it occurred at 1:51 pm local time August 23, 2011. It was felt in twelve US states (including Ohio) and five Canadian provinces. Damage estimates ranged from 200 million to 300 million, and several minor injuries occurred near the epicenter (particularly in the town of Mineral, Virginia, where two buildings collapsed).
I live in Virginia and remember it well.
I was sitting in the chair in a barber shop and watched mirrors flex. The west coast poked fun at a 5.8, not understanding that buildings here aren’t designed that way. This nearly brought down the Washington Monument.
Camera did not move.
Yep. I thought it was this earthquake. I live in PG County, MD. It was the second day of the school year for us and we were about to leave within the hour when it hit. At first I thought it was one of the kids shaking the table, but the whole damn room shook at the same time. Nobody was hurt, but I made a good friend that day who made the situation funny. Crazy how 2011 feels so long ago.
Ah yes once you mentioned the epicenter I remembered. I was at home in t parents office playing world of Warcraft when I felt the desk shake. I lived in North Carolina
How the heck did Shin Soo choo get a hit in this situation? IT WAS LITERALLY SHAKING.
If you're up high (like in the pressbox) or using a camera with a long lens (like the TV cameras have), it magnifies the shaking. You'll notice that none of the players appear to be affected.
I live in Ohio. We have a earthquake line fault underneath our lake but nothing bad can happen here like in or Japan or California per se Ohio' in top five safest places to live in the world to live far as natural catastrophes
@@highsummonerwill1874 yeah but the downside to that is living in Fucking Ohio
@@97NikeSb only someone who’s never been to ohio would say that
@@beng2269 nobody likes to live in ohio and you know it
“I don’t know what’s going on” When your not from California
you're*
To be fair, I don’t think people from California expect to deal with earthquakes when they’re in Cleveland.
@@kwakerjak exactly
So true...
@@kwakerjak but if your Californian your not gonna be like I don’t know what’s going on if you did feel one in Cleveland
I’d know what it feels like here in South Carolina the earth shakes
My friend who was a geologist and I were sitting in the third floor of building 510 at Norfolk Naval Shipyard when he was on the phone with an engineer, and calmly expressed that he thought we were having an earthquake! He then told me the day afterwards that earthquakes on the East Coast are felt over a broader area primarily due to the solid shale aspects of the deep layers of rock. Not like the sandy layers of the West Coast, where the energy dissipates over a smaller region. When the bedrock is shale, and a fault lets loose, it is felt as far as the bedrock goes, in all directions! So those in Cleveland felt it pretty much just like we did in the Tidewater area of Virginia…a 5.8 or 5.9 Richter scale kind of feeling!
I love how the commentators are just like:
“uhh it’s shaking pretty bad up here, but that was a great double! And uhhh yeah, did I mention we are about to die up here?”
Greg Gibson the home plate umpire motioning to the earthquake. And the earthquake are now celebrating in their dugout
Even an earthquake is boring at a baseball game.
imjusthereforcomments No one died at the stadium but in the city of SF about 100+ died.
Martha speaks!
imjusthereforcomments The game wasn't being played yet tho. It was during pregame, when some people were still on their way
What do you like football? Men in spandex?
moonspots01 Baseball is a very fun sport. You probably don't even play a sport.
Choo hit a double during an earthquake. I remember that quake. That was the East Coast quake. Felt it all the way in South Carolina.
Nope, he didn't hit it during the earthquake, that hit CAUSED the earthquake
PlatinumPuncher thats the same joke i made when i was at the game lol they were filming the avengers downtown at that time also :)
This was actually the same quake that shook Washington D.C in the days prior to Hurricane Irene. The quake was between a 5 and 6 on the Richter scale, so given the distance away from the epicenter, the quake wasn't felt as strongly in Cleveland.
Gee the earth is quaking, I wonder what's going on?
Slicer Vorzakh earthquakes suck...in my country we get them often..well sometimes :(
Ohio has never really experienced a true earthquake so you tell me what's going on here if you're from the state
LOL Good one.
😂
This earthquake was just signed by the Houston Astros. Literally just gave this dude a sign to swing and hit a clean double.
Shortly after this, Mike Hegan astutely noted that this was an earthquake. I was listening to the game on the radio in a high-rise apartment, and I felt it.
I was working on the 4th level of the (empty, mid afternoon) Quicken Loans Arena right across the street from this game. It set off fire alarms and we went outside. As it turns out, our Eastern US earthquakes are much different than the violent ones in other places. It was like a slow, rocking back and forth like on a boat, you feel seasick but there wasnt much destruction at all. Ladles that hung on a kitchen wall were swaying back and forth before your eyes. You feel it more higher up (like this announcer did in the press box), and barely feel it at all when your feet are on ground level. It also proved to us that the fire alarms, which alerted in an empty arena with no fans, are obviously turned off in the crowded baseball park to avoid panic.
Ok umm so this game was in Cleveland and how were you working there if no teams are playing I'm 13 so I don't know much about the working world but that is interesting about the fire alarms!! So a. Earthquake feels like getting seasick here ok good to know that's way if we sever have one again I will know what the heck is going on!!!
I've never experienced an earthquake but I live near cleveland
the stadium/arena has workers in the place doing a variety of things like cleaning, preparing for the event, etc. (ex: switching from a hockey rink to a basketball court)
@@mustafajafri8806 I experienced an earthquake in Columbus, OH in July of 1980 while attending a convention.
I was at this game!! CHOO later hit a walk off HR! I was in the upper deck and it was no joke how much the stadium was swaying. My father-in-law and I quickly descended the stairs and as soon as we got into the tunnel, it stopped. Lasted what seemed to be about a minute or longer.
LOL!!! I was in Columbia,MD at work when that earthquake hit!!! And you could feel it in Maryland!!!!
Shin Soo Choo has the highest BA, OPS, SLUG, OBP during an earthquake. And the most doubles (1) and hits (1)
🤣
Is Ohio even by a fault line?
No, the earthquakes are caused by fracking.
yes a very small one
+Wolfpack 360 I remember feeling very dizzy when this happend
+nibiyabi There's no proof fracking causes earthquakes; earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates.
Ignore the knucklehead who says fracking causes earthquakes. This Earthquake's epicenter was in Mineral, Virginia. At the time I lived in Pennsylvania and was at my psychiatrists when it happened in Hershey. Now I say ignore the guy who said fracking causes them because as fate would have it, I now live near Mineral, Virginia and there is no fracking anywhere around here. In fact the town of Mineral is on top of a fault line.
I like how the commentator is freaking out and the game is going on as if nothing is happening LMFAO
I remember that day. I live in NY and went to the Yankees/A's game that night. Before I left, I was taking a nap and woke up because my room was shaking. Got to Yankee Stadium to meet my friend, and before the game, people were talking about it. Like these broadcasters, I had no clue what was happening!
the broadcasters handled it well, and the batter had an earthquake help him on the double lol
0:36-0:44
0:55-1:20
is my favorite part of the video
Reminds me of the '89 World Series....
Brad on a millionth the scale lmao
Cept that it wasn't that huge
Yup. I remember seeing that one...
Yeah, not even close
Lol, you can see the camera jiggle before they say anything. I'm in So Cal and worked for the Angels farm league many years ago. One night we had an earthquake in the 4. area. Eveyone got quiet, then you could hear a....woooowah from the crowd. The bleachers metal frame was creaking.
thats was the only thing at the game that i noticed too.heard the frame creaking like a train hitting its breaks on a rr track,but didnt feel any rumbling or shaking.
This was a mag 4.0, not enough to damage anything, but I easily felt it in my 5th floor apartment. That's the 2nd quake that I've felt in the Cleveland area. The other was a 5.5 in 1986. Pretty much everybody felt that one, even at ground level.
I had a house made of sticks
Sounds like they're in the conference room of a Holiday Inn or something.
i love how he keeps talking about the game and is also scared
Tom Hamilton is a true professional.
wow this dood hit a stand up double during an earthquake
Is Choo's nickname "Earthquake", cause that's the only hit I could see.
holy fuck that was insane, the strongest earthquake i have ever seen in my entire life
Now that annoncer knows what a eathquake keels like !! lol
I was at that game I was about 11 rows up from the field on the third Baseline I didn't feel a thing. But me and my wife notice everybody from the upper deck starting to run down we had no clue what was going on until after the game we saw the news..
They opened up the expensive seats.
I was in the hospital recovering from my surgery when this happened my mom thought i was having a seizure but then realized it was a earthquake
Lol
I was at this game. A few seconds later, the booth collapsed on to the crowd below. 87,435 were killed and 111, 003 were injured.
I was there too.. when this happened a hot blonde fell unconscious and i took advantage of her. And i walked out with wallets of gold!
I always admired Choo’s demeanor. He was always so calm and collected. Even when he was hitting during an earthquake. I miss him here in TX.
I live near Cleveland and i do not remember feeling that
MONSTERxMIRAGE it was in the sky :)
How can an earthquakes be in the sky
Ragen's Athletic Tips Football,Baseball,etc. google for skyquake :)
You don't feel sky quakes and you never hear that in the video dude m
MONSTERxMIRAGE This was a quake that came from the Virginia region. I remember being on my couch watching this game and I felt it too. I live in Columbus.
On this day I was in school and I felt something wierd, but I just didn't think anything of it really, and then I get home to watch the Indians game highlights and they show this,.
Why has MLB The Show STILL not added this in the game??? You mean to tell me that after 20 years in my franchise I still haven't gotten an earthquake game, or even a simple rain delay?
The Nine Club Bookie We are talking about REALISM. This is something MLB The Show continues to neglect, and it is really making me angry. I just won’t buy it until they have this feature. Simple as that.
I was at school when this happened, and I wrote this comment in school as well.
I was actually five of the time of this game I don't even remember it, I just found it on RUclips now!
“Now it does appear we are experiencing an earthquake of about a 5.8 magnitude, as Choo will stride into second with a stand up double. He’s really been something so far in this early going, huh?”
He really rocked that ball to the alley😂😂😂
I didn't know earthquakes were possible in Cleveland am I the only one ?
ImXbale13 do yourself a favor & study all the fault lines in America.. better yet, Go ahead & study the fault lines that dwell beneath the earths surface..
you would be surprised. Do yourself another favor & stop drinking the tap water.
ImXbale13 earthquakes are possible anywhere...
Chase Kubiak they are. Thay are possible anywhere
ImXbale13 you are stupid
"I have no idea what's going on" sounds like Towelie on South Park.
0:36 the guy in the right GEAUX TIGERS
A Pacing Goose I was looking for someone to say that
It was my 30th birthday. The Earth shifted for me.
It might be that 5th cocktail that’s hitting him.
I was on a trade mill when the earth quake happened. I didn't even feel a thing. My mom called me and asked was I okay and I said yeah. Then I went on social media people were posting didn't expect an earth quake. Then it hit me thats why my mother called me.
It probably happened because someone used internet explorer
legend has it the booth is still shaking back and forth today
I remember this day. I was 17 and I was sleeping in. It was like 2 pm and sleeping in my room and I didn’t feel anything but my mom busted down the door and said their was an earthquake. I live in Nj outside Philly.
imagine saying, "I hit a double in the MLB during an earthquake" LMFAO thats awesome
Wait Shin is just 22?! Man, this kid has a bright future ahead of him.
And now we have dunks during earthquakes.
Greg Gibson the home plate umpire motions to the earth quake
The good old days when they were still the Indians.
Not quite the same as the pre-game show of Game 3 of the 1989 World Series, where Al Michaels went hysterical, while Tim McCarver remained calm. However, I don't blame the announcer for reacting like that either. Been through one quake myself, a 4.3 magnitude quake in Webster, NY in Spring 1973 while in school, and yes it get my attention.
Streaker runs onto field OH NO I FELL!!!!
Why do I have so much energy at 7AM
Screw the earthquake, I'm gettin a double!!
Shin-Soo Choo is now 33 years old
Bruh he's 40
@@JJijamm he's however old I want him to be. I am God
watch again, you can hardly hear the crowd. I've noticed that b4 earthquakes, I've been through 8
I was in the middle of a field in Maryland coaching the running backs for Ryken JV football. Was soo wild, though i was having brain issues!!
We felt it in NJ near NYC that day too...i was at my desk and felt weird disoriented-ish and watched items slide and fall off my desk...i walked out to my staff and everyone in different areas of building felt it and said same thing that it was a weird feeling
I remember this. Only people who were sitting seemed to feel it that's why the players were unfazed and the booth commented. I was sitting and I thought the guy behind me was hitting my chair until others started to comment about it.
CHOO goes down as only player in MLB history to hit a double during an active earthquake
This was the East Coast Earthquake centered in VA. Felt in the Cleveland area, we've had some earthquakes before. Chardon in 86 was the strongest centered in NEOH Ashtabula County has minor quakes but still very rare thing to happen in Cleveland.
Duuuuhhhh....I have no idea what's going on....duuuuuhhhh...
sorry it was me. i had beans at the ballpark that day.
There is a major fault line running through Cleveland. It runs from Berea north to No Energy Stadium. It’s called the Cleveland Browns fault line.
Me and my ex was at a buffet when we felt it. Both of us thought we were losing our minds!
Who’s here after the Knicks and Pelicans game
For any of the people who says this is fake you are wrong, I was at that game and I felt it. Some other people can't but I have a talent to feel things better than some other people. So everybody who's saying this is fake, SHUT UP!
Everyones just nonchalant…meanwhile choo just drills a double like it’s nothing lol
History MADE 1ST MAN TO HIT A DOUBLE DURING AN EARTHQUAKE
@SuperROLLTECH
The east coast rarely gets hit by an earthquake
He hit a double during an earthquake. XD lol
Gotta love Cleveland. :D
I think it was just in your studio....didn't notice anything and players and fans didn't react
Idk why this got recommended to me now
The announcer sounded like he was about to say "fuck this" and run... I don't blame him!
Not sure why it's not included, but Mike Hegan said he thought it was an earthquake shortly after.
Who won?
I hope they bring back the Indians the new name sounds like a Disney movie . GO TRIBE.
I grew up in Cleveland. We never had earthquake drills, no one in that stadium would have a clue what to do.
That's sad
Damien Derrick
Yeah I'm from the midwest and I have never experienced an earthquake. It's not really that sad we don't have drills... It's like LA not having tornado drills or people in Georgia not knowing how to drive on snow. Those places just don't have to worry about it, so when you hear about entire cities like ATL being shut down from snow (few years ago) you know why, and it's not that big of a deal.
You could see the centerfield camera shaking at 0:30. That usually doesn't happen from the wind.
When this earthquake happened.I was running on the treadmill in my gym.Back in Queens,NYC.Didn't notice anything,till I saw many people standing in the streets.
Actually yes. There would not be teams without the fans. The fans are just as much apart of the team as the players
We felt the quake in New England to. My cousin lived in Culpeper Virginia &she told me thsr he quake did quite a bit of damage.
