ok but that broadcaster is a G for sticking with his promise to walk to philly Edit: thanks for the likes

If someone you don’t know makes a mistake in sports and you decide to break down and send death threats to their family, you should reevaluate your life and maybe turn off your TV.

Man, every sport needs a content creator like you. I have never cared about baseball and haven't been to a game in 5+ years (I would go just to spend time with friends and family) but I have been binging your videos today and really enjoy them. There's a lot of interesting things about the sport but because the game has never connected with me, just watching a game or hearing friends talk about the games doesn't do anything for me. Hearing all these stories and learning about the game is actually really interesting. I doubt I'll become a big fan/viewer of the games but it does make me appreciate the sport a lot more and I may check out Rockies games every now and then

Pretty crazy that Luis Castillo, the man who dropped a single popout against the Yankees one game and became the scapegoat in NY media, was also the batter who hit the foul ball to Bartman and began the Marlins' comeback. That is so baseball.

fans can be nuts, but man that story of Jim actually making a charity walk from Philly to Pittsburgh is so wholesome. what an awesome guy

A wise man once said: Life is like a game of Tetris. All your achievements disappear, while your mistakes start piling up.

Luis Castillo was an awesome player. He helped the Marlins win 2 world series. When I was a kid he spent 10 mins. at a game talking to me and my dad. He was nothing but a CLASS ACT. Nobody is perfect.

I never really liked baseball, but your channel has made me grow an appreciation for the culture and history of the sport. Thank you.

I will always remember hearing my high school coach say this to me after a playoff game win in where the other team heckled the umpires out of field. He said, "As much as you boys love and romanticize this game, others will always lust over the worst parts of it."

It’s funny because 90% of the people tweeting those things have never played baseball, and don’t understand the pressure and the fact that every player has these errors. They will happen to every player no matter what.

This is one of the best baseball videos and channel on KZfaq HANDS DOWN……you can tell you put a lot of work and you worked hard on this video and it show…..keep up the good work

Bill Buckner was a hell of a hitter, 22 years and not once did he strike out more than two times in any given game. I'm so glad the curse is long over and he was embraced by the Red Sox and fans before he passed. It meant a lot to him.

Moral of the story: sports fans can be one of the worst things about sports

I've been a baseball fan for over 40 years. More than people just playing baseball here, there are great life lessons to be had. First, this goes to show who your friends really are when things go south. The people making rude and obscene comments are the perfect example, and they could also use a good psychiatric evaluation. Two faced fans are the absolute worse. The true love of a fan comes through both the bitter and the sweet. It's a game. We're human, and we make mistakes. And I for one, have made many mistakes which have taught me great life lessons. I've learned best, the hard way. That's what I get for being so thick-headed.

"I'm finding Conrad and shitting in his pants" is the funniest tweet I've ever heard

I remember the Jim Rooker thing. The game was in June, and he had to postpone the Philly-to-Pittsburgh walk until after the season, but he turned it into a charity event and made the best of it after the season ended. Good on him.

Interestingly enough this episode was sponsored by one of the factors that takes fans from crazy to rioting and murder, and thats gambling. Losing a ton of money over one players mistake makes people go insane

I was watching the '86 series as a BoSox fan, of course. My friend and I were shocked that Buckner went back into the game on defense in the bottom of that fateful inning. The Sox had a backup fist baseman known for his defense, but to our chagrin, he didn't come into the game. That's baseball...a game of inches, bad hops, and missed opportunities.

As a cubs fan I’m disgusted by what my fellow fans did. At the time I was a kid and yeah, it hurt, but I was over it by next season and never knew how bad it was. As I got older and found out and was absolutely infuriated and felt so bad for him.

Dude the death threat shit is just insane and should be prosecuted. I’m the biggest patriots fan ever and I’m upset Wes Welker dropped that pass (if you’re a football fan, you know the one) but I would NEVER want harm to befall him or his family. It’s a game. People who take it so seriously are deranged

It would be cool to see a mirror of this. How one play can make a career. Looking at the plays with the highest WPA in the playoffs

I love that Steve Bartman was one of at least 3 fans that were trying to catch that ball but he got 100% of the blame

As a Braves fan I will always love Brooks Conrad, I got to walk the warning track at Turner Field when I was a kid and he was the only one that waved back to me and he had a huge smile the whole time

What makes this so infuriating is none of those fans could even begin to do the things mlb players do on a daily basis and yet still get so mad at them

I was watching the game when the Buckner error happened. He was in a crouch stance 20 feet behind the bag. He also had the worst knees in Baseball. On the other hand, Mookie Wilson was one of the fastest runners in Baseball and by the time the ball reaches Buckner, Mookie was nearly halfway down the line running full speed. I've seen the replay 50 times since then and my opinion has not changed. Even if Buckner fields the ball cleanly there's no way he beats Mookie to the bag. And yet he's had to live with the shame of that error for all these years. Man, talk about cruel fate.

I’m a diehard baseball fan. I did step away for a few years, but I came back to it because I just love this game. I’m a diehard Orioles fan. Any fan will know what I’m talking about, but we should’ve brought in Zack Britton. If you know you know. But I could never even contemplate, let alone act on, sending death threats to anyone involved. At the end of the day, it literally is just a game. It literally has no bearing on your life. We just love rooting for our team. But if your teams wins or loses, it doesn’t matter. You’re going to wake up, brush your teeth, maybe take a shower, make breakfast, and start your day at work. Your life will go on. Sending death threats for a human being making a mistake, something ALL OF US do, is what an unstable person does. And if you’re one of those people, you need to put the phone down, and seek help. It’s insanity at its peak. Completely uncalled for.

i love watching old videos from his channel and comparing the enthusiasm in his voice from the beginning to now. such an underrated channel!! love your work!!

What’s the analysis for the Jose Mesa choke in the World Series? It was the one play that made him and Omar Vizquel (who had previously been friends) enemies. Vizquel wrote a book about it, and publicly shamed Mesa in it. Mesa then said that if he faces Vizquel, he’ll hit him, and if he charges the mound, he’ll kill him

Thank you for making a video on this, fans are completely out of control, let the players play my goodness…

What makes these situations a 1000 times worse are the commentators initial reactions to the play or them talking about it for the rest of the game & the cameraman keeping the camera in your face for the rest of the game 😂

Out of all sport, baseball is the most unpredictable one, and that’s one thing many people don’t understand

this guy should have way more subscribers and views, his mini documentaries on baseball are just insane and he narrates them so well. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these man.

Just think of how bad the death threats are going to be, now that sports gambling is going absolutely crazy.

Kuddos to Jim Rooker for actually walking back home to Pitssburg, That's insane

1:24 catching that bottle is one of the most badass things I’ve seen ever.

Having just gotten into baseball as an adult I have to say the over all attitude and atmosphere in the entire space is absolutely insane compared to any other sport and I am infatuated by it.

I will defend Bartman to this day. He wasn't the only fan reaching for the ball, he just happened to be the one to touch it. Also, the Cubs SS tanked the game.

I respect Jim Rooker for staying true to his word and actually walking to Pittsburgh. Edit: Also damn the Phillies have a lot of epic comebacks

About that Rivera blown save that cost the Yankees the World Series, Tim McCarver said that "bringing the Yankees infield in was a mistake. If anyone could hit Rivera's cutter, it would be a broken bat hit into shallow outfield." The VERY NEXT PITCH, Gonzalez hit a broken bat flyball that would have been caught at normal infield depth.

The people sending death threats are ridiculous I never understood why people who aren’t even on the team and most likely can’t play take things to those extremes

I really think that a lot of people who make death threats like that have bet their life savings on the game and blaming the players for their loss... Its really sad

I always find the cognitive dissonance amazing about the Bartman incident. You have like 6 people trying to catch it, yet Bartman gets all the heat. More then enough people wanted to catch the ball, yet none of em get any life problems from those same Cubs fans. Insane.

Mad respect for the announcer who was a man of his word and walked back to Philly. Mad respect!

The commentary on the first one I will never forget. "Oh my goodness he dropped the ball" will forever be etched in my memory

I love how you exposed those fans with their ridiculous tweets lol

That Enrique Williams plane crash story is absolutely insane

12:50 🤣🤣 Bruh the fact they sent him BACK out there to pitch

You could even partially blame Gedman (Redsox catcher) for not stopping that ball. As far as wild pitches goes, that one Stanley threw was very tame. And given the immense importance of the situation, that was definitely a move your body and stop it rather than reaching across your body. Regardless the Sox were destined to lose that series. I accepted that...like 2 days ago. But i have accepted it.

me when baseball doesn't exist, baseball doesn't exist 👀👀👀

I was at the game when Myles Straw jumped onto the fence. The hecklers were actually the people sitting in front of me. I will never forget how crazy that game was.

Braves fans of the 90s might remember Lonnie Smith as the scapegoat for losing the 91 WS 1-0 in the 10th inning of game 7 in Minneapolis. I doubt there was any scoring to give him credit for this in history, but I've spoken to many people over the years that remember it this way. If Lonnie scores (and everything else goes the same way), then the Braves really do go from Worst to First, but instead they only got to be Worst to First in the NL. Just at a glance it's also fair to give credit to Chuck Knoblach for heroically duping the Braves out of the World Series, and also the third base coach (Jimmy Williams if memory serves) doesn't seem to be helping things. The video of that play is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7Nlnqt7uqi2g3k.html

Honestly can say I've never been so upset over a pro athlete making a bad play that shiting on them via social media seemed reasonable. Try to always humble my rage by reminding myself I couldn't do what they are doing half as good as they do on their bad days.

FINALLY ANOTHER UPLOAD ANOTHER GREAT DAY, Thanks for making our lives better, i’m always so happy to see you post ❤❤❤

I think I've watched fewer than 10 baseball games in the last 15 years. I still click any time this guy uploads

That Castillo play was the worst heart ache i felt as a Mets fan. Still hurts. I really felt too that was our year and havent had that feeling since.

Giving people the ability to say whatever they want, whenever they want through social media just shows how cruel humans can be towards each other.

I dont even understand baseball but I love this channel. Greetings from Sweden

Being a Mets fan (and Knicks and basically all my teams) I get bring pissed off in the moment. But sending a player and his family death threats over a mistake, unbelievably stupid.

The worst of the worst come out in droves. Boston, New York and Philly are definitely the most hardest to stomach as a player if you're underperforming or have a slip up. Judge had himself a historic season that helped the yanks get in the postseason but it wasn't enough to have the fans viciously come at him and the team when they got swept.

Imagine you tried to catch a homerun then getting death threats for it. Wow

My dad's from Reggio Calabria, which is the poorest region of Italy. His cousin was what basically amounted to a AAA soccer player, and after a ref blew a call they had to call in a helicopter to extract the the ref. The fans had blocked off all the exits, and were waiting to kill the ref. MLB fans are nuts, but soccer fans are on a different level. Great video as always, by the way.

Should have mentioned Will Craig, since that’s kind of the opposite. He had an silly error on a bad pirates team in a game they were already losing early in the third inning, in may, and he got so bullied, not even by the fans, but by the national sports media, he retired from the MLB moved to Japan within a month. People literally compared his meaningless error to Buckners! Insane!

As a Cubs fan everybody knows the story of Brant Brown who was our outfielder and backup first baseman in 1998 dropped a ball in the outfield against the brewers that cost us the game and almost cost us the wild card that year.he ended up becoming a pariah in Chicago because of one of Ron Santos most infamous calls in Cubs radio history for his heartbreaking scream of no when Brant dropped the ball made fans instantly turn on him he got traded to Pittsburgh the following year was never the same and ended up playing in the independent leagues and to this day his name has a bad taste in Cubs fans mouths as bad as bartman

I can't think of 1986 without also thinking of Donny Moore, even if it has turned out that the one play in question did less to ruin his life than everyone wanted to believe at the time.

Please never stop posting. Your videos are amazing

"your glove just sharted" is hilarious though.

People have to realize that sports is their job, and just like all of us at work, we make mistakes. Getting death threats over a throwing error is like forgetting a meeting was at 9am and now the entire company wants you killed.

love your content so much! hope to see more of it soon cause it’s the only baseball related channel who’s videos i can watch from start to finish lol

Cubs fan here. I think I can safely speak for most of my fellow fans when I say that we feel awful for how Steve Bartman was treated and he never deserved any of it. A lot of us have felt this way since before the Cubs finally won it all in 2016.

From what I know, the Red Sox put Bill at 1st base at that point in the game because he was a baseball veteran and it was near the end of his career anyway (so like an act of appreciation for all that he did in his career). Apparently, the man was so hated in Boston after the game he had to move himself and his family to Idaho because of the backlash. He would stay there for the remainder of his life btw. Just remember that when you watch back the footage on that ground ball mistake Buckner made, you are essentially watching the worst day of someone's life second by second.

It’s always so haunting whenever someone famous avoids a major aviation disaster. This is the case with Enrique Wilson avoid boarding flight 587

Baseball dosent exist: how one play can ruin your life Joey gallo: all my plays ruined my life in New York

Analytics bros ruin everything they touch

Just discovered this channel....maybe because I'm drunk at 3:16 in the morning on a Friday night....but your data and analysis are SUPERLATIVE!! You got a new sub!!

Peter Moylan, one of the best people that has ever played the game of baseball, shared once that when he was in LA, he had a fan pestering him and the other players in the Braves bullpen. One fan took it too far, saying what he would do to Moylan's wife and daughter. Moylan told the fan that they could throw hands right there if they needed to. He then had the fan thrown out of the stadium. You can't take it that far as a fan, ever.

People who get this toxic over what is in the end a kids game for money always disappoint me. Baseball is my passion. But these are human beings. People who act like these clowns aren’t true fans.

Reminds me of the abuse that Donnie Moore received after giving up the home run to the Red Sox in the ALCS in 1986. Dude was already having emotionally trying times. Not that was the catalyst to his eventual suicide and attempted murder of his wife but there had to have some contribution to it.

I don't even watch baseball anymore but your videos are so fascinating I've been binging well done good sir.

The story about Enrique Wilson possibly dying in the plane crash if the Yankees had won that game is crazy.

This just goes to show you can do 99 things right that 1 thing you do wrong will always be remembered more then all things you’ve done right

Mariano Rivera was so great his blunder literally saved a life.😂

Imagine being on a team where one of your teammates paints you as the enemy to an entire city to the point your own fans mock you. Try keeping a straight head while that’s going on.

I really appreciate how many similar errors were pointed out...even in the same inning as the more infamous error!

That Phillies-Dodgers game is why teams should not just take the pressure off as soon as they build a substantial lead. There's often an expectation that you should just stop trying to play well once you've got a big lead, but this makes no sense. If you put in all your scrubs, you're giving the opposition a chance to come back. And you don't want them to come back.

It isn’t really fair how players get these threats and hated when the people making them can’t even do what they do on a good day or even get into the majors

AS a kid growing up, every time Bob Stanly would come in to the game for the sox, I knew we would blow the lead. I got nervous whenever the announcers said he was even warming up.

The broadcaster who literally walked home is a real man. Bigger man than I could ever be!

Loved this video!! I'm surprised Elvis Andrus in the ALDS vs the Jays or David Freese vs the Rangers weren't included. 2 all time playoff moments!

Since you brought WPA, you should talk about this year's playoffs and how much the umps affected the games. Based on WPA

That ump in 85 in St Louis got so many threats, for so long, that the MLB never had him ump games in STL ever again. That hadn't happened before and it hasn't happened since. St Louis has lots of churches, but it has one temple that everyone shares: Busch stadium. If you commit baseball heresy there you will be run out of town forever.

Major respect to the announcer, I wouldn’t think that he would keep his word.

It's only going to get worse. Years ago a fan followed the Texans Qb back to his house and talked shit to him when he got out of the truck.

Much respect to that announcer. Kept his word. People should aspire to that today

Love how the show 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' wrote Bill Buckner into one episode where he makes an amazing catch and redeems himself.

That's the beauty of baseball. "It ain't over till it's over." Yogi Berra

I think a big part of it is the rise of east sports betting allowing certain people who really should not have access to things like fanduel to risk money they can’t afford to lose. I refuse to believe people will actually put their own lives in danger to go to a players house to intimidate them if all they have on the line is some fan clout.

Unreal how much you have grown. Idk if I’m tripping but I just saw 1.8 million views and 800k subs. I swear not long ago you had 100k. Love this channel.

So not to toot my own horn but during your intro, I remembered something. Im a massive minnesota Vikings fan. In 2015 Blair Walsh missed a chip shot fg that lost us a playoff game vs the Seahawks. I remember being SO fucking pissed. I couldn’t believe an nfl kicker missed a 27 yard fucking fg… but then someone on Instagram leaked his phone number. And after a lot of consideration I actually sent him a text along the lines of which said “listen mr Walsh, I’m sure you’re getting a lot of hate right now but those people are weak minded and you need to come out next season and prove you’re better than them. Im sure you must be going through a lot of self doubt but I have faith in you and ask you not to lose faith in yourself” thinking that if nothing else, maybe he’ll see it and just be like “well amidst a sea of assholes at least one person is decent enough to tell me I’m not a terrible person or deserve to die simply bc I missed a kick. Well to my utter shock about 20 minutes later I got a text back that basically said “thank you for your kind words and support I feel terrible for having let down my team and you fans but your words mean a lot to me… yadda yadda… skol brother ❤️” (those last 3 words/emoji are the ones that really resonated with me). That was the day that I realized, love them or hate them, these dudes are just that, dudes. Regular ass dudes who have to do their job at an immaculate level under the scrutiny of EVERYONE in the country. Yes they get paid plenty of money but their jobs aren’t easy. Just some food for thought I suppose. The unfortunate thing is that in the world of Twitter and Instagram is bound to happen. This is a nation of 400million. And not all of us are mentally sound. And an awful lot of us are on social media where we get to speak to pop culture icons and celebrities and athletes and give them our thoughts on them. My dad always told me, you can’t control how people act towards you but you can certainly control how you REact to their actions. I think that a lot of athletes, as hard as it is to remember sometimes when someone is threatening you and your family, they’re either looking for a reaction or attention and it’s best to just let them makes themselves look like an asshole and be the bigger person. Bc when it comes down to it, no one will remember @joe_schmo, who threatened so and so. They’ll only remember how so and so, the famous person, reacted. Also: and this will be the last thing I have to say bc this video is morbid enough already. This is related to the story about Mariano and how his blown save could’ve possibly saved Enrique Wilson’s life. In 1972 after the Nicaraguan earthquake Roberto Clemente chartered a plane to send relief to those effected. One of the people who helped him load the cargo onto this plane was another mlb player by the name of Tom walker. Clemente told walker that he should stay stateside and enjoy the new year bc walker wanted to accompany Clemente on the trip, to assure the aid was going where it was supposed to (clementes first 3 attempts were intercepted by corrupt officials which is the reason he took the trip, he thought that if he was there, the cargo had a better chance to make it to its destination.) Of course, this was on December 31 of 1972. As we all know, shortly after take off, the plane chartered by Roberto Clemente would crash into the Atlantic Ocean, tragically killing everyone on board. Almost 13 full years later Tom walkers wife would give birth to a son named Neil. Neil walker who played in the mlb for 12 seasons. So if Clemente had taken toms offer of accompanying him on the flight not only would we have lost 1 certified legend, but another pro baseballer and his future son as well. In conclusion, I can’t think of any one single person as inspirational as Roberto Clemente. I would be DELIGHTED, if you did a long form video on his career, some of the insane accomplishments he attained, and his life in general. He was a philanthropist, finished his career with exactly 3000 hits, and is the only person in the history of baseball (that I’m aware of) to hit a *walk off in side the park immaculate* grand slam. The world would be a MUCH better place, if we were ALL just a BIT more like Roberto Clemente ❤️

Your channel has grown so fast keep up the good work ❤
