Baseball as it was meant to be played simple and unadulterated. Fenway park without ads plastered everywhere. Television without the stupid ticker running non stop. Announcers that don't talk about stats every second. What a breath of fresh air to watch. Luis Tiant, There will never be another pitcher like him, and what a hoot to watch especially at the plate. Thanks for uploading this gem.
Totally with you on that. I was just now watching some highlights of the current Red Sox-Rays ALDS contest, and I said, "I'd rather watch some old big-game baseball highlights instead of this," (not knocking the actual core athletics and player talent, but everything you named) and looked this up, probably the greatest WS ever played.
There’s also not 40 seconds of standing around between each delivery. So many people seem to gag at the idea of a pitch clock but one of the reasons these old games are so much more interesting is the game KEEPS. MOVING.
Was the 1975 WS the last with regularly scheduled day games? It seems to me it was. I know there's been day games since, after rain outs. But I don't remember any WS since that have held them in a planned format.
I think the Big Red Machine is still the greatest starting lineup of all time. I was 11 in 1975; became a Reds fan then and have been ever since. But, sadly, baseball isn't what it used to be. And, hearing the voice of Curt Gowdy carries one back to a simpler time when sports as a whole was much more enjoyable and just fun to watch and/or listen to.
I was 8, it was the Greatest World Series Ever Played!!!!,my Favorite Player was Joe Morgan,and Tony Perez!!!,Pete "The Hit King" Rose had a Great Series, he was the World Series MVP!!!!,You could make an Argument that the entire Reds Infield should be Inducted in The Baseball Hall of Fame!!!,Bench,Morgan and Perez are in,but I think the Reds Shortstop Davey Concepcion should be Inducted, there was not a better defensive Shortstop in the Majors during the 70's than Concepcion!!!,and I know Pete has been banned,but I think he has paid for his crimes!!!!,4256 all time hits,he should be Inducted Period!!!!!!
@M, yes..SOCCER the game that shows hard work accomplishes very little and no individual can rise above that unless that one is arriving once or twice a quarter century, otherwise forget it. Great message for the government, not so much for the people, who according to SHAKESPEARE are merely the players.
I remember watching this entire World Series; I was 13 years old then. I cheered on the Red Sox even though they lost the Series in 7 games. The Red Sox played a great game and Series against the Reds.
I rooted for the Reds, but you are absolutely right. The Red Sox and Reds played all-out all the way. Although I rooted for the Reds, I fell in love with the Red Sox too.
I was 13 when I watched the WS series in 1975 and I remember thinking how old the players looked. Now I'm 55 and the same players look like kids. Time does some weird shit man...
Professor Time utube is like a time machine all people do is complain that they got old. tooo bad u suck anyway. probably go to work everyday and complain about everything
Excellent color scheme! And the stirrups! That's the way stirrups should be worn. Super Big League! Lots of Hall of Famers in this World Series. And Terrence Mann may have been in attendance.
RIP, Anyone at this game age 50+, all the umpires, Sherm Feller, Bowie Kuhn, Curt Gowdy, Sparky Anderson, Darrell Johnson, Joe Morgan, Denny Doyle...sure there are others...
I was 8 years old in 1975. My first world series. None more dramatic, but cubs 2016 win satisfied my heart. I was a child but i saw ernie banks last game.
1:47:16 as the baseball golf cart with the cap on top makes a delivery, Curt Gowdy promotes a new comedy/ variety show called Saturday Night that will debut on NBC later that night. George Carlin will host and apparently the whole thing is performed live. Crazy...
58:24 - Rod Hundley? Rod played basketball. Curt meant Randy Hundley of the Cubs. No matter.....it wasn't really a ball game without Curt behind the mic. He called World Series, Super Bowls and Final Fours, and called them all so well. He was also a great outdoorsman (from Wyoming), hosted a series called "The American Sportsman" on ABC.
Curt would makes some mistakes but he is great he would always tell the home town of the batter him and Tony were good together Tony was one hell of a color man
I remember watching this game as a ten year old kid. I also recall my dad installing insulation in the attic during this game and I could hear him cursing up a storm up there. I miss you dad. R.I.P.
@@edmondwynn174 The question mark was a mistake. Yes, I do remember it was Saturday and overcast in Boston. My dad and I were at Fenway Sunday of Labor Day weekend against Reggie Jackson and Oakland. The A's won and those box seats were awesome. And certainly college football on ABC back then was always something to watch.
During Pete Rose's first at bat, Tony Kubek says Pete's wife taped Tiant's LCS start so he could study his varied deliveries to home plate. This was the era of the $750 betamax VCRs. It would be about 8 years later that Tony Gwynn would watch video of everyone of his at bats, changing the study of hitting.
@@candicesmith4824 If only baseball back then had the starters going six innings Gullet would most likely be in the hall. Billy left his starters in 'til their arms fell off.
I loved that fans would run out onto the field after the game to congratulate the players...and security's attitude was "hey buddy...get outta here!"...and they'd push you back to go into the stands. Try that today and you end up in the ICU.
I think the '75 Reds and Red Sox were evenly matched. Hall of Famers and All Stars in the lineup, and somewhat underrated pitching staffs. What do you think?
The Reds had the bullpen that the Red Sox didn't have. Borbon, Norman, Kirby, Carroll, McEnaney, and Eastwick. Those guys really won it for Cincinnati.
@@willrogan955, in two seasons forward from this W. SERIES, DARRELL JOHNSON would be the original skipper of the SEATTLE MARINERS..and no, he did not last long there, either.
No matter how many times I watch this, the Sox still lose. No wonder I so rarely watch any of this series. But fortunes change, and now Ive seen the Sox win FOUR world series while the lowly Reds live in squalor. Ya got to love it.
This was the first W.S. I got to watch all the games. I figured out that if I put a towel under the door crack my parents would'nt notice. Game 6 was the first time I got straight BUSTED! When Fisk hit his homer, I was like Woooooooow! Mom was in the bathroom, I heard the toilet flush, and it seemed like she was coming in the door in less than a second. I tried to turn the tv off, but didn't make it in time. She was hot at me. This was when my step father (rip) came in and said, what were you watching? I said with big ol crock tears, Fisk hit a home run and the Red Sox won Game 6. He said, the Reds lost? I saw like yeah! Then he said, you like the Red Sox? I said...oh no. I'm a Oriole fan, but since the Red Sox are in our division, I want us to kick their butt next season. He laughed hard, put his hand on my head and said, next time ask if you can watch. Its after 12 and you had better not oversleep for school, and if you keep good grades, you can watch the night games. Just come to me, and I love the Birds too. So, Game 7...no need to put the towel under the door. I got to see 2 of the very best W.S. games of All Time! I was 7 and I enjoyed every second of this. Back then I loved the Orioles so much, I would go to Memorial Staduim and sit across the street and imagine playing for the Orioles there. Oh...the memories. Kids these days have so much to keep them distracted. They aren't playing in the park, climbing trees, etc... I wish I could do it all over again. I cherish my childhood, and Thank all those who made it so wonderful. This includes all the players and teams that taught me how to feel when they win, and how to be dignified when you lose. Real quick. This W.S. is in my top 3 All Time. I've seen all W.S. since 1974. Here's my Top 3 1975 Reds vs Red Sox 1991 Braves vs Twins 2001 Yankees vs Diamondbacks
Those were such great times to be a young sports fan as I was like you back then especially during those times. I was an Orioles fan growing up. My dad a long time Red Sox fan. My mom angry at my father, "so what if he likes Baltimore."
Might have. Only thing I know.. I would try to imitate him as a kid and fall on my arse. How in the world did that guy stay balanced through all of that rigga ra moe ?
I love when Curt Gowdy mentions Fisk and Bench are the two best catchers in the league, Kubek (the ex-Yankee) had to say "Well Thurman Munson's not bad."
@52:35, the young catcher Don Werner whom Curt Gowdy tauted as the possible successor of Johnny Bench had two career home runs with a .176 batting average. Werner did catch the no-hitter by Tom Seaver though on June 16, 1978.
I was born a couple months after this played, so being a lifelong baseball fan, I felt like it would be fun to watch the LAST World Series played before I was born. A good history lesson too. Based on his resume, I’m actually a little surprised that Tiant didn’t make the Hall of Fame.
Isn't it great that we can still watch the real game of baseball and a man like Luis Tiant? Also, I didn't notice that networks added the idiocy of commentators talking over each other during WS games back then. Baseball has a pace. Let it take its pace. Gowdy is a classic. Everybody else should shut the fuck up in between pitches. Am I wrong?
I love the red Red Sox helmets. That was the first souvenir helmet I got as a kid, although I was a huge Reds fan. My older brother got a Reds helmet and I couldn't get the same team.
Did anyone notice that there is an 8 second delay in the audio beginning at 01:15:57 to approximately 01:36:50 (the entire 6th inning)? It's weird listening to them describe it after it happened, not that bad really. Great game, GREAT series.
Not sure WHERE in the game it is but during this game one of the rare network promos Curt Gowdy did was for a new NBC late night comedy series involving sketches and musical performances. The show? Saturday Night Live. SNL had its debut episode on this night and got a mention during the World Series Telecast.
A piece of trivia. Originally here the show was called Saturday Night. There was already a show called Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell on ABC. I didn't last very long - once it went off the air Saturday Night became Saturday Night Live.
Umpires (Game 1) (3:34) HP Art Frantz (AL) (Crew Chief) 1B Nick Colosi (NL) 2B Larry Barnett (AL) 3B Dick Stello (NL) LF George Maloney (AL) RF Satch Davidson (NL) All 6 umpires, were umpiring their 1st World Series in 1975.
In 1980, WITH the MILW. BREWERS, CECIL COOPER hit .352..to finish in the A.L.... second behind... GEORGE BRETT who hit .390.. Even the non-Hall RED SOX in '75 were players who distinguished themselves. How many HALL GUYS will W. SERIES 2022'ERS HOUSTON & PHILLY end up fielding? HOU: ALTUVE AND VERLANDER..MAYBE ALVAREZ..borderline BREGMAN.. TOO EARLY ON VALDEZ AND K. TUCKER..and PENA.. PHILA.- HARPER(probably?) REALMUTO MAYBE.. SCHWERBER BORDERLINE, HOSKINS slim chance.. PITCHERS FOR PHILLY? This is what we old fogies mean when we say today's baseball is watered down.
Started to giggle when you brought up Lynn , but fell from the chair when you said Clay Carroll. Clay Carroll !? Maybe in a house in the next township.
Umpires back then had their own strikezones. That wasn't what the rules said, but they did not care. And, if the throw on an attempted advance/score, or on a stolen base attempt, beat the runner, he was out, no matter when the tag happened. JIM BUNNING in a documentary as= MANAGER of the PHILLIES AAA team in the 1970's or early 80's, whichever, told a baserunner that if he did not slide, he was going to be called out if the throw was anywhere near the bag, and he told the kid that even if the latter slid, if the throw beat him to the bag and the tag was anywhere close, he was going to be called OUT by the umps= unwritten rules.. NONE OF THEM FOUND IN THE written RULEBOOK, all of them a product of LAZY UMPIRING..
Imagine the Red Sox line up in this series if Jim Rice had not been injured in September. But with no DH where would he have fit amongst Evans, Doyle, Yastrzemski, Fisk, Lynn, Petrocelli, Cecil Cooper and Rick Burleson ?
Why did the secretary of the treasury throw out two ceremonial pitches? It looked like Fisk caught the first one and ran back and said "I wanted the curve ball?" haha
One of the most famous camera shots, Fisk's waving his home run fair in Game 6, was thanks to a big rat on the camera inside the Green Monster in left field. The cameraman was focused on fisk in the batter's box. he was so terrified of the rat on the camera, he never moved it as Fisk's shot to left hit the foul pole. That camera shot was used for years in NBC's Game of the Week opening. All because of a rat.
I'd even add in the Rooster to your list , wheel. This was a star studded matchup.. no doubt . And HOFer Rice sat through it. Though Cincy won the series .. I'd have to quote El Tiante when he said that the Red Sox were second to none. Both were great teams.
The entire World Series broadcast team was reminiscent of the baseball game in "The Naked Gun" movie: GAME 1: Curt Gowdy, Tony Kubek and Dick Stockton on TV, Joe Garagiola and Marty Brennaman on radio. GAME 2: Joe Garagiola, Kubek and Ned Martin on TV; Gowdy and Brennaman on radio. GAME 3 AND 5: Gowdy, Kubek and Brennaman on TV; Garagiola and Martin on radio. GAME 4: Garagiola, Kubek and Brennaman on TV; Gowdy and Stockton on radio. GAME 6: Garagiola, Kubek and Stockton on TV; Gowdy, Brennaman and Martin (after Brennaman left for the Reds clubhouse) on radio. GAME 7: Gowdy, Kubek and Martin on TV; Garagiola, Brennaman and Stockton on radio. It's possible that in the entire history of broadcasting there has never been this complicated an announcer schedule.
The voice of PA Sherm Feller was worth price of admission.
Baseball as it was meant to be played simple and unadulterated. Fenway park without ads plastered everywhere. Television without the stupid ticker running non stop. Announcers that don't talk about stats every second. What a breath of fresh air to watch.
Luis Tiant, There will never be another pitcher like him, and what a hoot to watch especially at the plate.
Thanks for uploading this gem.
It was also a day game--Saturday afternoon.

Have to agree once Griffey was added and Rose moved over to 3rd base , it sealed them GOAT.
And the Reds could NOT have faced a finer opponent than they did with the Red Sox. They were a terrific club, too.

Rip 🙏 Luis Tiant passed away today. El Tiante . Sox's fans love you.
This is when I loved MLB.
Ipsizm love yourself player. u must realize to cant play like them so stop fantasizing
Me to I was 14 years old great times.
Yes! I just turned 60 and remember this series like it was yesterday. I agree with you 100%. MLB in the 70's was outstanding.
OMG yes! i will watch anything pre 85......i can't even turn on a game today
@M, yes..SOCCER the game that shows hard work accomplishes very little and no individual can rise above that unless that one is arriving once or twice a quarter century, otherwise forget it.
Great message for the government, not so much for the people, who according to SHAKESPEARE are merely the players.

I was 15. game six just made me giddy.
I listened to many of the Reds games on radio during the middle 1970s. The announcers were Marty Brenneman and Joe Nuxall.
Just the best. So many games I listened to on the radio all the way to the old left hander rounding third and heading for home.
I was 13 when I watched the WS series in 1975 and I remember thinking how old the players looked. Now I'm 55 and the same players look like kids. Time does some weird shit man...
I thought Sparky looked old then and I still do. Lol! He was only 41 at the time.
@ Bob Jalving
Same here Bob. Sparky got some bad genes that's for sure!!!
Man , no kidding. Fisk looks like he's an overgrown 12 year old through my older eyes now. As a boy , I thought he was New Hampshires Paul Bunyan.
Professor Time utube is like a time machine all people do is complain that they got old. tooo bad u suck anyway. probably go to work everyday and complain about everything
Professor Time I'm 38 and getting older. I wasn't born yet during this World Series. Does it suck getting Old
Excellent color scheme! And the stirrups! That's the way stirrups should be worn. Super Big League! Lots of Hall of Famers in this World Series. And Terrence Mann may have been in attendance.
I watched this series as an 11 year old with my mom who loved the Cincinnati Reds, Great series.
very great world series & great memories of life

It hadn't even premiered but people were already saying, "SNL hasn't been funny in years". Hehe.

When Fisk hit his homer, I was like Woooooooow! Mom was in the bathroom, I heard the toilet flush, and it seemed like she was coming in the door in less than a second.

Real quick. This W.S. is in my top 3 All Time. I've seen all W.S. since 1974. Here's my Top 3
1975 Reds vs Red Sox
1991 Braves vs Twins
2001 Yankees vs Diamondbacks
Those were such great times to be a young sports fan as I was like you back then especially during those times. I was an Orioles fan growing up. My dad a long time Red Sox fan. My mom angry at my father, "so what if he likes Baltimore."
very talented broadcast crew Curt Gowdy Dick Stockton and Tony Kubek not the annoying check the boxes announcers today
I think Tiant's turnaround corkscrew motion helped him
generate power for his fastball and weird angles for his curveball.
Might have. Only thing I know.. I would try to imitate him as a kid and fall on my arse. How in the world did that guy stay balanced through all of that rigga ra moe ?
14:40 "Nah, he didn't swing". One of the bigger changes you see in the game is the checked swing not being called back in the day.
I love when Curt Gowdy mentions Fisk and Bench are the two best catchers in the league, Kubek (the ex-Yankee) had to say "Well Thurman Munson's not bad."
At what point did he say that? I would love to fast forward to it and hear it.
BENCH.
Only thing Fisk gad over Munson was LONGEVITY!! & I’m from N.Y. Munson had he lived & played 17,18,19 years would have made the Hall of Fame!
I guess even Curt Gowdy could goof up. Bench and Fisk never played in the same league, as the NL and AL operated separately back then.
Thurm great clutch hitter. You know an ex- Yankee would mention Munson...especially because of the fight between them.😊
@52:35, the young catcher Don Werner whom Curt Gowdy tauted as the possible successor of Johnny Bench had two career home runs with a .176 batting average. Werner did catch the no-hitter by Tom Seaver though on June 16, 1978.
El Tiante's finest hour.
Great. Baseball just awesome 👍
Morgan was overmatched trying to play games at first with Tiant. Respect Joe, but he was out by a country mile when Luis caught him leaning.
I was born a couple months after this played, so being a lifelong baseball fan, I felt like it would be fun to watch the LAST World Series played before I was born. A good history lesson too.
Based on his resume, I’m actually a little surprised that Tiant didn’t make the Hall of Fame.
best series ever..i was 10 i'm from Boston and lived in Finneytown, ohio a few minutes from Riverfront stadium
back when pitchers went more than 3 innings
Amen brother!
had no idea don gullet had such potential! top 4 pitcher......hurt with broken finger
There is literally NOTHING about the modern game that resembles this.
Been a lot of twists and turns along the way but somehow what was nearly a perfect game has turned into a nearly unwatchable crap show.
NBC Radio:
Joe Garagiola (PBP) & Marty Brennaman (C) 1st half
Brennaman (PBP) & Garagiola (C) 2nd half
I wonder if fans who grew up in the 30’s felt the same way about baseball in the mid 70’s.
Curt Gowdy is the all-time greatest voice of sports.
yeah he was flawless covering all sports and colorful, unlike the boring joe buck
I was 16. I paid $18 outside for a $6 face value ticket next to the right field foul pole
i went to the 86 world series at fenway. a $25 ticket in the bleachers cost me $35. thats only because i knew the guy
me too, i paid $15 for a standing room ticket for game six and i sold it before the game
Bargain of a lifetime.
Isn't it great that we can still watch the real game of baseball and a man like Luis Tiant? Also, I didn't notice that networks added the idiocy of commentators talking over each other during WS games back then. Baseball has a pace. Let it take its pace. Gowdy is a classic. Everybody else should shut the fuck up in between pitches. Am I wrong?
I love the red Red Sox helmets. That was the first souvenir helmet I got as a kid, although I was a huge Reds fan. My older brother got a Reds helmet and I couldn't get the same team.
I'd be scared shitless to bat against Tiant.
Half the time he's not even lookin' at the plate!!!
Rather face Tiant than Nolan Ryan.. The Express was not only looking at the plate.. but the spot between your eyes.
he nearly killed Doug Griffin with a beanball
Toney kubek and curt goody was the bomb
Love the Big Red Machine !
At 1:47:17 they plug the debut of SNL while the bullpen car drives in....
That is pretty historic in itself!
Did Mayday Malone pitch in this one?
Did anyone notice that there is an 8 second delay in the audio beginning at 01:15:57 to approximately 01:36:50 (the entire 6th inning)? It's weird listening to them describe it after it happened, not that bad really. Great game, GREAT series.
I was looking for a coment like yours, to make sure I wasn't crazy
Curt Gowdy, Tony Kubek & Dick Stockton on NBC.
Stockton was, at the time, the local TV announcer in Boston.
this is baseball at its best and simplest
And Denny, Carlton, Dwight, Cecil, Jim, Carl Bill, Rick, and ALL of the other Men on that glorious team.
Not sure WHERE in the game it is but during this game one of the rare network promos Curt Gowdy did was for a new NBC late night comedy series involving sketches and musical performances. The show? Saturday Night Live. SNL had its debut episode on this night and got a mention during the World Series Telecast.
1:47:19 is where it is mentioned. Very cool.
A piece of trivia. Originally here the show was called Saturday Night. There was already a show called Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell on ABC. I didn't last very long - once it went off the air Saturday Night became Saturday Night Live.
Brandon Robetoy "Saturday Night Live" with host George Carlin & musical guests Billy Preston & Janis Ian.
@@btoy1975 Gowdy says Bob Reiner from all in the family..lol
And SNL was off and running from there.
Umpires (Game 1) (3:34)
HP Art Frantz (AL) (Crew Chief)
1B Nick Colosi (NL)
2B Larry Barnett (AL)
3B Dick Stello (NL)
LF George Maloney (AL)
RF Satch Davidson (NL)
All 6 umpires, were umpiring their 1st World Series in 1975.
Now we know why Pete Rose knew everyone's batting average
At 32:30 or so, Gowdy introduces the camera inside the scoreboard. That's the camera that captured Fisk's walk-off in Game 6.
At 37:15 or so, they use the camera to replay Fisk's flyout.
The 1975 World Series is baseball at its best.
Great baseball
Charlton was one tough ol fella how can anyone catch in there 40s he is a hall of fame catcher
Six MLB HOF players in this series. Bench, Morgan and Perez. Yaz, Fisk and Rice. Rose and Evans should also be included. Great series!
Tiant also deserves to be in Cooperstown. Fred Lynn. too. I also feel Clay Carroll should be in Cooperstown.
In 1980, WITH the MILW. BREWERS, CECIL COOPER hit .352..to finish in the A.L....
second behind...
GEORGE BRETT who hit
.390..
Even the non-Hall RED SOX in '75 were players who distinguished themselves.
How many HALL GUYS will W. SERIES 2022'ERS HOUSTON & PHILLY end up fielding?
HOU: ALTUVE AND VERLANDER..MAYBE ALVAREZ..borderline BREGMAN..
TOO EARLY ON VALDEZ AND K. TUCKER..and PENA..
PHILA.- HARPER(probably?)
REALMUTO MAYBE..
SCHWERBER BORDERLINE,
HOSKINS slim chance..
PITCHERS FOR PHILLY?
This is what we old fogies mean when we say today's baseball is watered down.
Don't forget Sparky.
Started to giggle when you brought up Lynn , but fell from the chair when you said Clay Carroll. Clay Carroll !? Maybe in a house in the next township.
@@donaldsheeley9606 I stand corrected.
Boston should've won this World Series
no dice sir
Thanks for upload, kind stranger
At 1h17m the sync of sound & video is off.
This was the first WS that I watched in its entirety. I was 6.
Smelling salts. I like that. Judge, I was just doing some smelling salts. Honest. Swear to God.
After the 5th inning the audio is about 8 seconds behind.
Luis Tiant threw more strikes called as balls than any pitcher I've ever seen.
Not to mention the non-existent balk called by the NL umpire on Tiant.
@@richardsmith6496 hahahahaha - they really talked up the balk possibility prior to the balk.....i didn't see it.....and good camera angles covering
Umpires back then had their own strikezones. That wasn't what the rules said, but they did not care.
And, if the throw on an attempted advance/score, or on a stolen base attempt, beat the runner, he was out, no matter when the tag happened.
JIM BUNNING in a documentary as= MANAGER of the PHILLIES AAA team in the 1970's or early 80's, whichever, told a baserunner that if he did not slide, he was going to be called out if the throw was anywhere near the bag, and he told the kid that even if the latter slid, if the throw beat him to the bag and the tag was anywhere close, he was going to be called OUT by the umps= unwritten rules..
NONE OF THEM FOUND IN THE written RULEBOOK, all of them a product of LAZY UMPIRING..
RIP Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Don Gullett, Luis Tiant
A world series for the ages, especially game six.
Imagine the Red Sox line up in this series if Jim Rice had not been injured in September. But with no DH where would he have fit amongst Evans, Doyle, Yastrzemski, Fisk, Lynn, Petrocelli, Cecil Cooper and Rick Burleson ?
Curt Gowdy (PBP), Tony Kubek & Dick Stockton (C) 1st half
Stockton (PBP) Gowdy & Kubek (C) 2nd half
Great series
Ah...pullover jerseys - perfection
Why is the pitcher batting in an AL ballpark? Help please!😮
Best series ever. Go Reds!!!
How comes there were mostly legends playing here? 😅
Why did the secretary of the treasury throw out two ceremonial pitches? It looked like Fisk caught the first one and ran back and said "I wanted the curve ball?" haha
You'd think President Ford would be there. He was the biggest sports fan ever to occupy the White House.
David Michael Probably for a photo op.
Ford probably is sitting in Riverfront Wondering where everyone is at.
La Mejor Serie Mundial de Todos los Tiempos
What's with the 7 second delay?
One of the most famous camera shots, Fisk's waving his home run fair in Game 6, was thanks to a big rat on the camera inside the Green Monster in left field. The cameraman was focused on fisk in the batter's box. he was so terrified of the rat on the camera, he never moved it as Fisk's shot to left hit the foul pole. That camera shot was used for years in NBC's Game of the Week opening. All because of a rat.
actually the camera followed fisk as he moved down the first base line...he moved about 35 feet
Moments I remember..
Joe Morgan with that chicken flap while at the plate.
Cecil Cooper flat lining at the plate.. repeatedly.
Captain Hook.
Cooper played because Jim Rice was injured and regular first baseman Yaz replaced Rice in left.
@@kencummings953 you remember that too?
choking up on the bat!!! today everyone is covered like a gladiator with so much gear......and roided up.....
Two of the best offensive teams in history.
Sure about that?
Rice, Lynn, Yaz, Fisk, Cooper, Dewey, Rico, Carbo.
Think again.
Lol.
I'd even add in the Rooster to your list , wheel. This was a star studded matchup.. no doubt . And HOFer Rice sat through it.
Though Cincy won the series .. I'd have to quote El Tiante when he said that the Red Sox were second to none. Both were great teams.
right. 3 hall of fame players in your list
The Great Curt Gowdy returns Home to The Red Sox.
Stockton still going
The entire World Series broadcast team was reminiscent of the baseball game in "The Naked Gun" movie:
GAME 1: Curt Gowdy, Tony Kubek and Dick Stockton on TV, Joe Garagiola and Marty Brennaman on radio.
GAME 2: Joe Garagiola, Kubek and Ned Martin on TV; Gowdy and Brennaman on radio.
GAME 3 AND 5: Gowdy, Kubek and Brennaman on TV; Garagiola and Martin on radio.
GAME 4: Garagiola, Kubek and Brennaman on TV; Gowdy and Stockton on radio.
GAME 6: Garagiola, Kubek and Stockton on TV; Gowdy, Brennaman and Martin (after Brennaman left for the Reds clubhouse) on radio.
GAME 7: Gowdy, Kubek and Martin on TV; Garagiola, Brennaman and Stockton on radio.
It's possible that in the entire history of broadcasting there has never been this complicated an announcer schedule.
Steve Prestegard And never will. The YES Network in New York ran commercials for the "9 announcer" booth.
@@williamdunphy352 Hilarious: ruclips.net/video/tLEw4zgv8I4/видео.html
For some reason, they left Joe Nuxhall out. It was good. but Nuxhall deserved to be behind the mic as well.
RIP Pete Rose. RIP Luis Tiant - september -october 2024.
Spelling error at 1:21:55! (Bottom of screen.)
Anybody else get audio sync issues at around the 1 hour 18 mark? Anyone actually watch that long?
Where's Oil Can Boyd when you need him? 😀
Ever notice winning a championship only feels good for a short while? Meanwhile that devastating defeat festers deep down in your soul for decades.
Its never ends. Listen too Pete Rose talk about 1970, 1972 and losing the NLCS in 1973...
Fisk and Bench are only 19 days apart in age.
This was pure baseball.
I love the p.a announcer he's very dry but love how he announced batters
The way he giggles his glove on down
