Even if Wynton Bernard never plays another game in the MLB, he'll be able to say he got a hit, stole a base, and scored a run in a major league game, and nobody can take that away from him.
Absolutely. He's living his dream on this 10 day and showing the rest of the world what Albuquerque and other minor league fans have seen for a long time
He called him out, but it almost looked like he started to try and pull up at the last second while making the call. On some level to be making really close calls you have to be able to make the call without second-guessing yourself. I think that he knew about halfway through his stupid fist pump, but it is like an umpire thing that you don’t let anybody second-guess you including you
Something not talked about but definitely worth mentioning: Rockies fans are amazing. Despite the constant dook product the organization puts out, the fans still show up in droves and cheer their heads off for this guy. And I love every second of it. Honestly though, the fans deserve better. Hopefully they get it soon.
I'm one of those Rockies fans, was three when they got a team. I feel like Wynton for the past 29 years. I'm kidding obviously, but it's been rough. The Rockies absolutely have a solid fan base, people may not know, but we're there lol.
I think it's a bit of both the Rockies do whatever they can to make themselves watchable and try not to be as bad of a Baseball team compared to some others when it comes to the Fanbase and such some people get very upset when it comes to the team losing their star player and don't understand the reality of Baseball but all in all they will be true fans at heart btw I was at the game on Saturday and despite them only getting 3 hits and losing 6-0 there were more people at the game than expected the game was going on the same time the Broncos Preseason game was going on as well
Every time a long playing minor leaguer gets to the bigs, I automatically cheer for them, regardless of their team. Why? Because they have never given up on their dream of playing in the major leagues.
There was a minor leaguer who had finally made his MLB debut with the Tigers after 13 years, this was about decade ago so I don't remember who it even was at this point
@@Karmy. I got you. It's Dustin Molleken. A pitcher from Regina Saskatchewan Canada. I hadn't realized it was actually 13 years he was in it but wow. I remember growing up as a kid, he would often come work bullpens and visits our Instructors at the baseball clinic I went to for about 5 years in Regina
@@cam_-fn6cx thank you so much! Yeah I had a feeling it was a Canadian player too but wasn't 100% sure about that, surprised that it was 2016 too thought I remembered it being the early 2010s
This couldn't have happened to a better person. I got the pleasure of watching him live in Albuquerque a few times he gives it his all EVERY. SINGLE. INNING. He is also extremely friendly and carries himself very well. That fact that he spent 10+ years in the minors should tell you about how hard this man worked. Congrats Wynton!
fun fact: Wynton was on family feud 11 years ago while has was a college student playing D1 baseball. He finally got called up after all those years and his dream of playing in an MLB game finally came true. incredible man with an incredible story.
I’m not even really a fan of baseball. However watching someone live a moment they’ve worked for their entire life is beautiful. Congratulations to this man.
Congratulations Wynton Bernard. What a long road you've been on to the majors but boy what an introduction to your abilities we saw here. Just glad that blind umpire's ridiculous call didn't rob you of the joy of your first major league hit.
A great example of persistence! After 10 years the man arrives in the bigs! Nice job! Proves that of you work hard enough, you can achieve great things!
😁 Had the privilege to see this young man play winter ball in the Australian Baseball League for the Brisbane Bandits. So happy to see his journey has made it to the promised land of the MLB with the Rockies. 👏🏻
Thank you MLB on RUclips for these clips. It doesn't matter what my hometown team is, because moments like these are just super exciting to watch. To have the whole stadium rooting for you and to have so many things happen for his at bat... 🥲 What a memory to have as a player and for his family!!!
What a special moment. I love how all the Rockies players come over w/ big smiles on their faces to congratulate Mr. Bernard. I can't wait to see more of him in action this season and for many more to come! He's a real gem, and he has such a lovely family.
no matter what struggles come with it when arriving at the destination the road to the show is well worth taking this in of itself is a victory worth any world series, even if only for him and now regardless of what happens next, he can tell anyone on Earth that he had an MLB career
That’s awesome! Don’t know him but stories like this always are good to hear!🙏🙏🙏💯💯❤️❤️ proud of you for sticking with it and never giving up brother!!❤️❤️
Work in Landscaping. They're always hiring and you can make bank (I started $23 an hour no experience) Become a foreman in a year and make even more bank. ($32+/hr) Good luck
@@JWFitness1 I’m soooo rooting for him! I’m a huge baseball fan and love seeing players like Wynton get the call up and be successful in the big league!
That’s awesome. That’s gotta be awesome for him and his whole family. The coors crowd cheering so loud, shout-out to wytnon and his whole family for their milestone
Love how he finally gets to experience the major league experience after working for a decade in the minors. Hopefully he can string some good games together and stay in the show.
this is what the MLB needs more of, guys who are hard workers, and play the game simply because they love it, and not just for a paycheck. they play with more heart and will do the absolute most to go the extra mile. congratulations to Bernard and a great start to his MLB career
I thought the rookies got the cold shoulder when they got their first hits/home runs. team was pumped knowing this dudes spent TIME getting there. pretty awesome 1st hit
You love to see it. All around good vibes. Good on you baseball folks for recognizing bigger moments then the game. Every kid/family dreams deserves love and attention one way or another
Congrats to Wynton Bernard! This guy showed perseverance and never give up on his dream to play in the big league! Congrats Wynton Bernard you deserve this!
Seeing his path to get here, his reaction, his families reaction, I am reminded of the best quote from the movie Moneyball "How can you not be romantic about baseball?"
I love how focused the ump looks on the replay - focused on purposely making the wrong call. That was not even close. I umpired at the highest level in Canada and that call was brutal!
I think after hearing about his story, there isn’t a living person that was not cheering for him….I wish you all the best, we need more people like you in this world that does things the right way!
its not that crazy. if statistically they are similar players it just makes way more sense to call up the younger guy cos if it works out you just get way, way more upside. Which means there are just less scenarios where it makes sense to call up an older guy over a younger one. imo.
I agree to a extent... baseball is about what can u do for me that season. If a 33yr old pitcher gets called up; remains and contributes till 37... he gave the organization time to replenish their farm
The only other major sport that has a reciprocal agreement, is hockey, which this happens on a very rare occasion. Most teams would rather call up a younger player, and give them the chance. Either that team is really depleted at that position, or the player is having a career year in the minors if he's being called up after 10 years.
@@tinyb69 for Hockey I almost want to say it's the reverse, youll see a 10 year pro head down there and finish his career. But yeah, hockey has those moments as well, a lot rarer mind you - I would have to think of that that 3rd string goalie coming out of the stands a few years ago as a compariable feel good story.
Never ceases to amaze me how these so called professional umpires blow calls like that. Look at the bag listen for the ball. Foot hits bag before the ball hits glove SAFE
Nothing a baseball lover like myself enjoys more (doesn't matter the team) than the excitement of a long time minor leaguer getting his shot in the big leagues and making the most of it. Congrats Wynton....happy for you dude!!
decision should only be based on sight, and yes he is in the correct position. Definitely a bad call but umpires do not base their calls off of sound as there is a much longer delay in terms of sound compared to sight
@@gentlemanjake8005 They're trained to look at the base and listen for the ball hitting the glove. That being said, it was a brutal call. Safe by a proverbial mile.
The look of pure joy on that mans face is priceless......that's what it's all about ....that's what is great about baseball! Hard work and determination and you can succeed! Love it
Even if Wynton Bernard never plays another game in the MLB, he'll be able to say he got a hit, stole a base, and scored a run in a major league game, and nobody can take that away from him.
Not a rockie fan but he has good speed he may be around for a bit.
@@williamsweeney3215 Came here to say the same thing. This guy is blazing fast lol
And I can say he's got one more hit, one more run, and one more stolen base than I have in the mlb. We are almost the same
Absolutely. He's living his dream on this 10 day and showing the rest of the world what Albuquerque and other minor league fans have seen for a long time
@@garrettbarton2026 He barely beat out a dribbler I wouldn't say that's blazing fast
Love how everyone in the stadium clearly saw he was safe at 1st.. except the only guy whose job it is to call him safe or out.
Lmao for real
By a country mile too.
Umpire had Diamondbacks on his ticket
He called him out, but it almost looked like he started to try and pull up at the last second while making the call. On some level to be making really close calls you have to be able to make the call without second-guessing yourself. I think that he knew about halfway through his stupid fist pump, but it is like an umpire thing that you don’t let anybody second-guess you including you
It was insanely obvious and everyone knew it, except the guy a few feet away. That’s unreal!

someday man... used to live at Littleton, CO. So nice people.
I just found out he was the oldest player to record a hit and stolen base in their MLB debut since 1907, pretty cool
That's dope
Probably the first to also score run too
Baller
Since who
That's amazing
Every time a long playing minor leaguer gets to the bigs, I automatically cheer for them, regardless of their team. Why? Because they have never given up on their dream of playing in the major leagues.
The Mark Appel story is especially great. It's annoying they keep sending him back down to the minors!

He was absolutely speedy, so surprised he stayed out of the bigs for so long. Think we'll be seeing a lot more of him👌🤑
@@chocolatechipslime yessirski ⚛
Completely overlooked.
As a breaking bad fan let’s go isotopes!
I loved being at this game, being able to support Wynton’s first game!
Same the atmosphere was amazing
@@nickbosa1131 it gave me chills when they all started booing for the call when he ran through first base. Just everyone cheering for him too
Was at the game also...Ump nearly got booed out of the stadium! Congrats Wynton!! 🎉💪
Hear hear. It was so nice to see it all live.
What a story. Everything that is great about sports.
This brought a tear to my eye! Look at mama's reaction when he's called safe after review. Priceless.

Yes, we all have instagram too
@smudent2010 nah most of us have a life. I enjoyed the fun fact. Had no clue.
@@smudent2010how does having Instagram guarantee someone knows this story?
It’s touching how proud his family is of him and watching them jumping out of their seats to cheer every step of the way 😊
As a Jay's fan who never watches the Rockies, I couldn't stop smiling watching this. I love baseball.
Well the jays just gave him an invite to spring training, cool

Same here. 50 resumes 3 intervoews... nada
I'm not a Rockies fan but I'm a baseball fan and this is just great baseball. He finally gets his shot and he makes it count.
Congrats to Wynton Bernard on his first MLB hit, SB, and run scored. But you gotta love the countdown to tacos when the Rockies would score!
I'm a mariners fan and all we get is a free hot dog from ampm (gross) whenever the mariners steal a base. Would much prefer taco bell tacos.
@@benjaminfarias9169 im also in seattle, they should change it next season from ampm hotdogs to the grasshoppers 😭 😭 much better reward
After many years in the minors, this has got to be a literal dream come true. I love to see these videos. Also. This man has some wheels!
Damn he’s fast
Pure awesomeness! I hope he earns a permanent roster spot!!! 🙌🏽

Awesome job for chasing the dream for 10 years. Staying with it 😊🙂
Good for him!!!!! Great moment for him and his parents. Well deserved.
The story was great, but the crowds reaction to every part of it gave me all the feels.

And for the stories to be told ... we all need good news. Ricky you summed it up perfectly.
You don't complain, you don't blame others, you stay focused and take what you want...take notes of this mans dedication to his dream.
Perseverance! Never give up! Love it!
I just watched my dream come true for someone else. Congratulations
How is he not on a MLB team ,PH, PR, needed in majors everywhere
Brings a tear to my eye.
An inning neither he nor his family will ever forget !!!
that is hard work and commitment paying off, well done young man well done
I love this game. Baseball is fun.
This was just the most amazing thing I’ve seen today keep it up big guy enjoy ur time up the big leagues!!!
10 years in the minor leagues and what that represents is what you call Perseverance Congratulations.
Give for him man.
Luv it!!!
Watching his family in the stands warms my heart
It's crazy to think that teams bring up 19 year olds to give them a chance but won't bring up a veteran.
Very rarely do 19 year olds get called up but I agree, older guys should get a chance first
its not that crazy. if statistically they are similar players it just makes way more sense to call up the younger guy cos if it works out you just get way, way more upside. Which means there are just less scenarios where it makes sense to call up an older guy over a younger one. imo.
@@estBradley not if they can’t out play someone younger than them. It’s professional baseball not a soup kitchen
@@NickKrige Dont forget some of the younger players have contracts that trigger service time, money hits etc....

I randomly hung out with Wynton and his brother about 10 years ago in college. Seriously the nicest dude ever, so happy for him!
Que bien! Felicidades por su paciencia! That Baseball player has been very parient🙏👍
I wish this man the best 👏 I love stories like this as much as I love baseball
How df did he get called out? Lmao these umpires man. Homie was 2 steps ahead of the bag
The love the fact the crowd was hyping him up and cheering for him. When you do this to a player his confidence sky rocket. 💯
This shows you how bad umpiring has become. This play was not even close. What was this ump thinking 🤔

3:27 staring daggers at the runner for not trying to score. He clearly hit it to the right side for that very purpose.
Agreed, I was at this game and had the same exact thought
Nah.... that's a tough call.... i wouldnt of went 💀
This is an amazing moment
I didnt know 2017 all star reliever Chris Devenski was still pitching
You love to see it! Congrats to Wynton on his hard work!
That first base ump is too far away to hear the ball hit the glove and foot hit the base - he only based his decision on sight. Get better, MLB umps
The umpire is in the correct position, however he was safe on the play. Umpires miss calls all the time, thats why they have instant replay.
@@jamescook6564 umps should not miss calls, Espically easy calls like that.
