That’s AWESOME!

And they haven't recovered to this day.

@@michaelterrell2108 Yes. It is a shame. It was a great team.

@@mike6845 Losing back to back World Series titles killed the Rangers for a long time.

@@michaelterrell2108 Yup. Should of won this one.

Down to the last strike not once, but twice

I'm not a fan of either of these teams BUT I'm a fan of Baseball, best World Series game 6 ever.

Yep, although there’s a case for 1986.

And 91 the puck all 3 of em don't get no bet t er than that

My dad made me go to bed to lol! I was 9. But it still gives me goosebumps when I watch it. :)

I’m a huge Cardinals fan I was like 9 or 10 and I got mad because I thought they were gonna lose and went to bed around the 7th or 8th now it’s kind of a family joke how that miracle happened and I missed it lol.

I’m from Nashville and I had my ticket for Game 7 ready to be used. I’ll never forget that exciting 4 hour drive to St. Louis! It was a moment I’ll never forget!

I'm 37. My dad used to wake me up/let me stay up for all kinds of games too......Some of my best memories as a kid!!! Pissed my mom off so much....haha!!

i was in 1st grade and remember it all. I knew all the players on the cards and rangers

I live in Carlinville and I am a lifelong Cards fan!

Looking back at this series and the runs the rangers had back then they more so deserve the ship they got this year.

Three months after this comment, they won

me too brianne and i hate the cardinals I'm a mets fan

He was sitting there hoping and praying he would get a home run walk off LOL...

im with you brother i am such a sucker or sports because its the one sporting event where e don't care about color we don't care about creed or size I cry when I hear it because only the sports Gods would allow a father and son to be in that position to make the same call on a home run hit in the very same spot

Bro I swear to god I’m in my bedroom whole house has to be up early in the morning when that ball bounced off the wall soooo many angry people started screaming at me not five minutes after that they all screaming at the tv lmao greatest game I ever witnessed!

As a neutral (O’s fan) easily the best game of all time. Only one that comes close is Dbacks Yankees Game 7 in ‘01

Buddy of mine is a Cubs fan and he’ll agree. One of the greatest games of all time.

you are right I am a met fan and when berkman came up I saw his swings the amazing part is berkman was in a 1-2 hole and worked it to 3-2 I knew he was gonna get get a hit and when he did he is on 1st no emotion and joe buck the best at letting the moment take over said about the cardinals they just won't go away the most chilling and spine tingling call man I still get chills

I remember watching this at 10 years old crying cuz I thought it was over then we came back best game ive ever seen

As a fellow 79'er with a Cards family, I can only say that I totally agree.

Me as well cards games as a baby.. had no voice after one of the best moments me and my late mother shared together would give one my fingers to have been there

My parents got married on Sept 4, 1968..a Thursday in Cleveland, MS. Their honeymoon was in St Louis and dad picked Thursday because the Cards were home for a 4 game stretch. I was born on Aug 12, 1979 in Cleveland (and still live here) and they took me to my first Cards game when I was 6 weeks old...It was Lou Brock's retirement game when they gave him a big boat for his retirement gift. I now have 2 sons, ages 15 & 6, and they have the love in their blood too. My parents celebrated their 53rd anniversary this Sept and we'll be there this postseason too if our Cards get there.

*Cue “Celebration” by Kool & the Gang*

Cue "Sweet Victory"

Your damn right, the 2023 Texas Rangers won the whole fucking thing!

We finally got one

I think Buck has a good voice but the voice doesn’t show excitement

Dude I agree, one of my favorite parts

I’d love to sit behind Ryan and just talk to him.

After that Freese hit, I'm watching high school kids on the field. Yeah baby!

And tonight, they finally got it. And what a win it was.

In fairness Pujols went to shit in Anaheim

$$$$$$$

Likely wouldn’t have been able to keep Molina and Wainwright if they signed Pujols back then. I’m excited to see him win another championship with the Cardinals this year

If we didn’t have fucking MATHENY

Well this has aged horribly

Agree 100%. By all accounts, Nelson Cruz is a really good guy, but how he totally skates w/o any criticism for this play boggles my mind. 11:33 is the moment every ballplayer LIVES for. Whatever position you're playing, you have got to be thinking about what you are going to do if the ball is hit to you. And your mind must be laser-focused that whatever it takes, you will get to that ball. Cruz was not mentally prepared for the play. If you're an outfielder, you have got to be thinking, "Ball, then wall." That's the order in which you prioritize things. Worry about catching the ball & squeezing your mitt on it, then worry about how you're going to deal with the wall. With that ball in the air, knowing if you catch it, you win the World Series, an outfielder has to utterly disregard the wall. Cruz not only needlessly pulled up, thinking the wall was closer than it actually was, but he also took his eye off the ball to find out where the wall was. WHO CARES WHERE THE WALL IS???!!!! Catch the ball! I don't care if a train is coming. Catch the ball, then worry about whether you get hit by the train or not. Even if it's a bang/bang play, ball then wall, (which is wasn't going to be), and even if you crash into the wall at full speed, you've got the entire off-season to recover from whatever injuries you sustain. Before Freese ever hit that ball, this had to be Cruz' focus and determination. I don't know what he was thinking about before the ball was hit, but it certainly wasn't on what he needed to do if the ball was hit toward him. He wasn't ready for the moment. And it cost him and all of his teammates a World Series championship that many of them would never get the opportunity to win again. Hamilton also merits some criticism here too, IMO. Not that he would've necessarily got the out at home, but where in the world was he as that ball caromed off the wall back toward 2nd base? On any ball hit deep down either line, there should always be 2 outfielders running. Either the left- or right-fielder to the ball, and the center-fielder to back the play up in case it ricochets off the wall. Hamilton was nowhere in sight. Cruz had to run all the way in to make the throw himself. BTW, I played center field for over 20 years. I'm not saying that Cruz should've done anything I didn't do myself. And I never got paid a dime for it.

@@dantheman5745 he also played it poorly off the wall, allowing it to get away. If he really didn’t think he could make a play, he could’ve taken it off the wall because Berk isn’t exactly Rickey Henderson out there

@@africalovesbait freese may not get to third but the two runs still score wether he plays it well or not

@@dantheman5745 20 years, eh? That COMMENT must've taken 20 years. What a long-winded gasbag! Geez! Shut UP already!

@@jackargie1092Two years later and have you realized that your comment was wrong about the second run scoring if Cruz played the rebound correctly, probably not.

He's decent but nowhere near the caliber of his dad

he's pretty bad

So it very much does

A two run lead.

Because he had as much emotion as my left testicle. I hear though he was pretty emotionless for years because he had hair surgery and I guess some of the medicine for it made his voice really quiet. It's probably why now he emotes much much more than before.

Monarch Entertainment Studios I guess that makes sense

@@letstalksports4800 Yeah, Joe Buck talked about it I think on Conan a few years back

Monarch Entertainment Studios interesting

His earlier years he was ok and then mid 2000s- 2012 he was awful and since 2013 he has been a lot better

2001 Game 7?

In my opinion the greatest game ever played. If it wasnt for the crowd it might be better to listen on mute.

He sucks so bad I almost fell asleep while watching the 2019 World Series

It really felt like he was not enthusiastic about the wildcard winning so much in the post season.

George Brett pine tar bat game. Billy Martin, the manager of the Yankees at the time, came out of the dugout and complained that he thought the pine tar was too high on George Brett’s bat. The umps examined the bat and ultimately agreed with Martin. George Brett’s home run (which was in the Top of the 9th inning by the way, and put Kansas City in front of the Yanks) was overturned. Brett came storming out of the dugout about to kill those umpires when the lead umpire came to the KC dugout and told the KC manager that the home run was being overturned. So, in rare cases, a manager complaining to an umpire DOES work. Of course now with instant replay things are handled a lot differently.

Only to a cool cat like yourself.

I thought I heard he had to have some kind of surgery with his voice after this series

@Black Panther I’m a dodgers fan lol
