Was there in 1985 not long after losing my dad, didn't get to share that moment with him. Thirty years later I got to share the moment with my 8 year old son. Fathers, sons and baseball.

Over 15 years from 1975-1989... the Kansas City Royals finished in first or second place 13 times. They won 6 division titles, 2 pennants, and 1 World Series.

I was happy to see both George Brett and Frank White finally get a World Series. They had lost to the Phillies in 1980 and came up short a few times in the middle 70's during the ALCS against the Yankees.

There I am sitting behind the Royals dugout on a school night watching my Royals win the world series! What a memory.

Wow, what a performance from Bret Saberhagen! Game 7, and this guy has ice in his veins. Complete game shutout!? 5 hits allowed all game? A classic!

This Mets fan thoroughly enjoyed this at the time.

Glad I found this. Was there for game 7....right behind home plate...Very top row in nose bleed but it didn't matter....I was there. Completely lost my voice and enjoyed every second.

Saberhagen was a beast of a pitcher back in the 80's, along side Jack Morris and Dave Stieb.

I love the 85 Royals. Brett being my all time favorite. Also, I own Motley’s home white 1983 jersey and it symbolizes for me this mammoth 2 Run HR that he had to hit twice to count! I’ll never forget this team! Glorious!

So happy for George Brett. For so many years he was the magic for this team. Only fitting that something magical would include him.☆☆☆☆☆

I was 10 years old in 85, and when they Won I thought it was the greatest thing that happened in my life! As I was crying with joy! And then I got to see the Royals win it all again in 2015! We may not be very good right now but I love the Royals franchise! G. Brett will always be the Man in my eyes!

I’m a life-long Red Sox fan ( born and bred in a Boston suburb). I was rooting hard for the Royals to in this series, and was very happy that they won. The following year was heartbreaking for me ( Bill Buckner et al ). Fortunately they finally broke “ The Curse of the Bambino “ in 2004.

Way to go K.C.! Thirty years in the waiting to seal another championship title. Congrats Royals, 2015 champions.

I've been wanting to see this again for close to 30 years. I was watching when it happened and not having a dog in the fight found Andujar's meltdown incredibly entertaining.

I remember watching this game with my dad, at six years old. We were rooting for the Cardinals the whole time, but right before the last pitch I bet him $5 that the Royals would win. He took the bet, and paid me. Dad's are awesome. I spent it all on Garbage Pail Kids cards.

Tim Mccarver. I couldn’t stand the guy in the 2000’s but I’ve been rewatching these games and I really like listening to him back in these games. Dude was really smart and I enjoy listening to him on the old Met games too

Forgotten in the frantic finish of Game 6, and the Cardinals embarrassing themselves in Game 7, was the brilliance of Bret Saberhagen. He won Game 3, his team desperate, and down 2 to 0 in the Series. And then the shutout in Game 7. He won the Cy Young later that fall. He was 21 years old. George Brett won his title at last, on the night after the events of Back to the Future LOL. And it was Bret Saberhagen who got it to him.

30 years later, they do it again.

This was an incredible game, and overall, an awesome series. Would love to see a rematch. Let's go Royals!

Lonnie Smith and Terry Pendleton went on to power the Braves to dominate the NL East in the 90s. John Schuerholz and an awesome pitching staff had a hand in that too.

Watching the lockerroom celebration made me miss Mr K. "Reggie, we lose with dignity we win with dignity."

This game was a definite classic. When I saw this game on TV, I was just laughing on how the Cardinals were getting pissed off throughout the game. And when Joaquin Andujar "Lost it" on the mound, that's what I remembered most of this game. Thank you MLB Classics for uploading this game on You Tube as I will be watching this game for years to come solely for comedic purposes.

Go cards. My grandfather worked for Busch Stadium and retired in 1980. My mom would go down to the stadium when she was little and talk to all the players. I have always been interested in baseball and I am a Cardinals fan forever.

I can't believe that through all the great teams the Royals had in the late 70's and early 80's that they only have one world series ring to show for it.

This was the first WS I ever saw. I STILL remember Andujar and Herzog as if it were yesterday. I thought all World Series would go seven games and have crazy drama. Then we get '86 and I think...wow, no wonder baseball is so awesome! Then '87! Finally, it blew up in my face as an A's fan with Gibson's HR in '88...I didn't like the Fall Classic that much for a while. Even the one we won in '89...no one really cared after the quake. Then the sweep in '90...and my boys are still trying to get back.

Andujar is SUCH a perfect Cardinal. Screaming about two pitches that were WAY inside. One was a good 6-8 inches off the plate. Entitled, self-absorbed jerk=perfect Cardinal.

Howser and Quisenberry. two of the hearts of that team!!

1:36:58 Al Michaels: I don’t know what the definition in Webster’s of EXTREME AGONY is.. but it would have to be being a St. Louis Cardinal down 10-0 at this moment and you’re only in the 5th inning! Lmao!!!!!!

I just love hearing Al Michaels call any kind of game, but it really is a pleasure to hear him do baseball. And teamed with McCarver and Palmer? Just awesome! And this series was fun to watch, as most in the 80's were. Great clip here. I was just a kid when this took place, but I remember the frustration boiling over in STL due to Denkinger's Game 6 fiasco.

I was just a baby when the Royals won the 1985 Game 7.

I was one of those running around the pitchers mound. Still have some of the dirt. That was an unbelievable game! One that I'll never forget.

I was there. Wildest game I've ever attended. When Andújar was ejected the crowd exploded like no noise I've ever heard!

After the ugly side of the Cards shows its face: "Ten to nothing. Ten to nothing. Announcers always are trying to sit here figuring out ways to hold an audience. The Cardinals have done it for us." LOL

When KC gets it right, its spectacular. Chiefs & Royals. Miss you, D. T. Still can't believe it all.

"If you hadn't f@%#ed it up last night we wouldn't be here!" - Whitey Herzog to Don Denkinger during their argument

Crowned World Champs again! 2015!

The bonus to the Cards' meltdown was the 8th inning announcement that Tudor got stitches from punching a window.

The Cardinals blew a 3-1 lead in the World Series.

Re-watching this. I remember all too well that Oct 27th night. Motley’s crushing foul ball by an inch and on the next pitch crushed it again but this time fair! Route was on!

Just an ole fashion Beatdown and a classic meltdown, doesn't get any better than this.

If you're a Royals fan, this game is an adrenalin rush.

Thank you, so much for downloading this game. I have wanted to see it for 30 years!

Herzog knew darned well what he was doing when he brought Andujar in there. Even before Andujar threw his first pitch, you could see the steam coming out of his head. Whitey knew Andujar was a hothead & would vent all the frustrations. And those two pitches he was protesting about were nowhere close to being strikes. He'd be the type to knock somebody down in that type on instance; I'm surprised we didn't see Sundberg in the dirt.

Andujar had won 21 games that year. Although he struggled in the playoffs, it was a major slap in the face to bring him into the final game with his team losing 9-0.

I love it when Andujar came in. It was obvious he wanted to get tossed out.

A 21-year old World Series MVP and Cy Young award winner. Bo Jackson and David Cone were on the Royals roster the next year. And they haven't been back since. Who knew?

After 30 long years, The Royals win the 2015 World Series!!!!!! Go Royals!!!!!! We Took The Crown!!!!!!

How many of you have watched this again liked Jim Palmer's humor? For example, he mentioned John Tudor wasn't "razor SHAP" (okay he corrected himself). Also Tim McCarver mentioned "Ducky" Medwick having to be removed from a game because fans were throwing things at him, Palmer asked, "Is that how he got his nickname "Duck"? :}

Yeah, like that '86 Mets, '87 and '91 Twins, '02 Angels and the '11 Cardinals. They all came back home down 3 Games to 2, turned things around and won The World Series.

Wow check out the fro on Al Michaels.

1:10.33 classic opposite field base hit from George Brett. What a swing he had

"Andujar may never recover from the 2nd half of this season." He had a decent season with Oakland after getting traded in the offseason (didn't win 20 games though) but that drug dealing charge did him no favors. The guy who really didn't recover was John Tudor. He never won more than 13 games after 1985 and fell apart again in 1987 in Game 6 with a chance to clinch. He got a WS ring with the Dodgers but he was just 4-3. Decent pitcher with a historic run but just wasn't the man when the pressure was on.

Agreed. The whole team suffered a collective nervous breakdown.

This is freaky to see for me; thanks. And not just for that amazing series. I was a young unit clerk on duty Game 7 night at St. Luke's Hospital ER Trauma Ctr. FUMING as duty locked me to desk for phones while every other human was crowding the waiting room TVs for the high-drama last innings. NO patients. Can overhear TV blasting; docs, techs, everybody there except me... and hey, a patient? John Tudor for stitches after punching that electric fan. Not place for the story; sorry; rare flashback. He was FUMING WORSE! Ooooboy! Surrounded by GO ROYALS posters didn't help, one on post right by his rolling stretcher. Private docs were prepping; just me and him when a roar from the waiting room: "AND THE ROYALS WIN THE SERIES!" Was literally 5 feet away, lowering self under desk counter as he exploded. Always wanted to ask him if he ever noticed the top of my trembling head. Likely not.

As a Giants fan, who suffered through the 87 NLCS, where they had Murphys Law screw them over, blank the Red Birds! The raggedy red birds always found a way to be there! The Brewers were blanked over by them as well

wow, notice how there's only 10-15 seconds between each pitch????!!!!!!!!!! This game was only 2:46 long..now each game takes forever most post season games over 4 hours.

Bret Saberhagen was unhittable that year.

As far as I can tell, this was the final year they allowed fans to run onto the field after the final out of the World Series. The following year at Shea they had police on horseback lining the perimeter of the field.

Darryl Motley's homerun 0:28:05 Jim Sundberg's walk @ 0:49:48 Steve Balboni's single @ 0:53:50 Darryl Motley's single @ 1:20:24 Lonnie Smith's double @ 1:25:30 Willie Wilson's single @ 1:28:46 Frank White's single @ 1:30:44 Joaquin Andujar gets frustrated @ 1:38:50 Bob Forsch's wild pitch @ 1:47:03 top of the ninth @ 2:16:03 last batter Andy Van Slyke @ 2:18:11

WOW! Watching the Cardinals come unglued in this game! John Tudor, the runner-up in the NL Cy Young voting, suddenly can't find the plate and has to get stitches in his pitching hand after punching a cooling fan. Whitey Herzog gets ejected. Joaquin Andujar gets ejected. The Royals score one run on a bases loaded walk and another on a wild pitch. I remember watching this game live on TV and marveling at how such a good team could unravel so completely. This video certainly brings back memories of that debacle in Kansas City.

DICK HOWSER WE WILL MISS YOU. 1936-1987. Dan Quisenberry we will also miss you 193-1998 Two keys from the Championship team we will never forget them

Come on Royals, great win tonight against Baltimore hope they continue on and go back to the World Series once again and win it all #takethecrown #kcroyals

From Wikipedia: "Andújar was so furious after being ejected from Game 7 that he demolished a toilet and sink in the visitor's clubhouse bathroom in Royals Stadium with a bat. As a result of this and his conduct toward Denkinger, Andújar was fined $500-the maximum permissible amount at the time-and was suspended for the first 10 games of the following regular season. Andújar was additionally ordered to make restitution for damages."

as a Blue Jays fan, to watch this game 7 hurt to much…to have lost a 3-1 series lead in the ALCS, then to watch them win the whole thing…was horrible thank God for '92-'93

I love to hear All Michaels call a baseball game. First listened to him call the Cincinnati Reds radio games. He was fantastic then, now a master of calling all sports. He had the guts to point out the poor sportsmanship of the Cardinals while Palmer and McCarver excuse it.

1:42:53 - "Andujar may never recover from the second half of this season" - very prophetic words from Tim McCarver, he never pitched the same again and was out of baseball in three years.

i love how they won, but it seems understated and kept it all in perspective. Now they absolutely go bonkers when they win the world series.

The fireworks after the final out - the people who provided the pyrotechnics - I guess they watched how the people who shot off the fireworks on the final out of the 1974 World Series did it. Then, they tried to imitate something like a final fireworks show for that 1974 series on the 1985 World Series' final out, and it was nearly the same fireworks that Charles Finley (the Oakland GM in 1974) wanted. If he was there in Game 7 when the final-out fireworks exploded, he would have been impressed. Almost similar!

Hard to imagine...Saberhagen's newborn is 28!...reminds me of being 21 and in KC always having felt inferior to the iconic team on the other side of the state. The Cardinals have a great tradition, but to this day, in a city with a St. Louis AA farm team...I can't really cheer for them because they are the Springfield "Cardinals"...once a Kansas Citian, always a Kansas Citian!

I love this Royals team, overcoming two 3 to 1 deficits. Brett was so awesome this year.

This is my new favorite channel

For every title like this won, the public address at Kaufmann plays: "We Are The Champions". 14 games in 2 rounds - the Cardiac Royals knew it. They "never say die", and after 17 seasons, the first title.

After MLB said he blew the call after game 6, i'm not sure it was a great idea to let Denkinger call balls and strikes in game 7. The Royals were going to win, because the Cardinals had already decided they lost after game 6.

The Cardinals embarrassed themselves in this game.

Ha! The St. Louis Cardinals have the distinction of being the only MLB team to blow a 3-1 World Series advantage on 2 different occasions, 1968 against the Detroit Tigers and 1985 against the Kansas City Royals. Ha!

Just the thought of this game brings me chuckles. 😂😂😂😂😂

Royals are about to win in 2015 It's funny the last time we won the World Series is in 1985

Cardinals down 10-0 in the fifth inning.

The difference in this game, besides Saberhagen being sharp and Tudor being lousy, was that Kansas City was thrilled to be playing this game, and St. Louis was super pissed off to have to be playing it. People overstate the importance of intangibles, but in this case that was a huge one.

watching and enjoying this in 2016........

I remember the eruption if cheers at school that next day. Go KC!

Here we go again...

I was born in KC, but adopted and grew up in a small town as a Cards fan. As a Cards fan, I would be upset too. I am not embarrassed with 11 WS wins.

Glad Royals won, never would have thought it would be almost 30 years later and they wouldn't made it back.

As by Channels 2 (STL) and 9 (KC), this is the first time came a #MissouriMeltdown

al michaels looks like ted bundy. i know cardinal fans will forever say they were robbed in game 6, but few people talk about frank white getting called out on a stolen base in the 4th inning of that game, replay showed he was safe. pat sheridan hit a single 2 pitches later to right, which would have put the royals up 1-0. and let's talk about the cardinals having the all time low batting average of .185, (until 2001) and the lowest number of runs in a 7 game series. and only scoring 1 run in the last 26 innings. *royals won this fair and square.*

damn, i watched this game and thinking that the royals would go and win another championship and i was 18 at the time and it took 30 years how time has gone by.

"Well if you guys weren't hitting .120 in this World Series, we wouldn't be here."

I predict an all Missouri/ Show Me State/Battle of I-70 World Series in 2015. It shall happen. STL Cardinals and KC Royals are the best teams in MLB right now. If it does happen, it will be the first time in 30 years.

You kinda have to feel for John Tudor. A truly brilliant season was completely marred by this miserable performance in the biggest game of the year.

Great series. I didn't realize Kauffman Stadium used to have AstroTurf. Seems likely the Royals will be returning to the Fall Classic...

The Sports Illustrated headline said it all: “A Classic Fall in the Fall Classic”

Go Cardinals! But I really do respect the Royal :)

THE ROYALS WIN THE PENNANT! THE ROYALS WIN THE PENNANT!!! THE ROYALS WIN THE PENNANT!!!!!

Saberhagen was becoming a father the previous day and marty mcfly was going back to the future in his delorne

Yet Denkinger replied to the Cardinals, "Well, if you guys weren't hitting .120 in this Series, we wouldn't be here."

After Joaquin Andujar got ejected from this game, he smashed up a toilet with a baseball bat while he was inside the visitors' clubhouse there.

That's the Cardinals fault. A team has to have enough power to overcome one call. Teams get screwed all the time. Until MLB gets instant replay, it's part of the game. You can't let one call get to you like that. You have to overcome it and just control how you play on the field. The call was blown out of proportion anyway. It had little to do with the Royals winning game 6. The Cards never were able to record 2 outs anyway.

Yep --- and it's also amazing how little Jim Palmer talks. Maybe he spends a lot of time standing in line at the concession stands.

My Royals! Grew up in KC and loved the A's. Didn't understand why they would leave? And then the Royals came. My mom worked at a bank in Antioch and got tickets occasionally. Games went from Memorial stadium to Royals stadium. Seats were first row behind Royals dugout. I was in heaven. I learned to hate the damned Yankees. Still do. Then we moved to "the country". Playing baseball every year with dreams of being a Royal evaporated. One day Ewing Kauffman came to our school to do an assembly. At the end he fielded questions. Myself and another boy were the only ones. He gave us each an autographed ball signed by the '69 Royals. And we got our picture in the paper. My friend has passed but he had that ball his whole life. Me? We lost a ball one year and I was desperate to play. Twenty minutes later we lost that ball too. I'm still sick about it. I do have the newspaper article, tho. In college I roomed with Charlie Lau's nephew one semester. That's how I learned of Charlie's battle with cancer. Whitey turned traitor and went to the damned Cardinals. I met Whitey. I liked Whitey but I never got over that. Life is so strange. Two twin brothers I grew up with as best friends cut meat in a butcher shop and Whitey, for whatever reason, started getting his meat from them. He came by for years. Sorry - you're still a traitor! I came home from Grenada in June of '85. We had another good team. Only problem was all my friends were Cardinals fans. And they had a Very good team. We watched every game in a bar and I have to say it was rough. They were merciless. It was a rough series til game 6. I can still hear them about The Call. What can I say? It was messed up. But they still had game 7 to make a statement. And they did. They had no heart. No depth. The Royals never ever gave up. THEY are the true champions. I'm proud of my Royals! I came back from Egypt in November of 87 to learn that Dick However had succumbed to cancer. He was a good man. Everyone wanted to be like Dick but then everyone loved the passion of George, too. The Pine Tar incident will forever be a favorite memory. And the best thing is - when we resumed the game (back in NY which was bs!) WE KICKED THEIR ASSES! Take THAT you sons of....! I am so proud of the 2014 Royals. You guys gave your all and came one hit away from doing what no team has ever come close to doing. And then the 2015 Royals...Taking the Crown! I am so happy for you!
