Whoever is putting these old games out...Thank you!!

If you wanted to experience winter in the summer you didn't go to the North Pole, you went to a night game at Candlestick Park.

Ron Santo. A class act. RIP

A lot of my old baseball cards on that field.

Great broadcast, I love all the old games on KZfaq, very enjoyable, I remember this game like it was yesterday, great memories of life

I love these old B&L Baseball games from the early 70's. I would LOVE to see the 1971 NLC SF vs PITTSBURGH, the LAST time the aging Giants had a winning season.

Great at the beginning to hear Jeff Carter sing the national anthem. He was the Giants PA announcer for many years and sung the anthem before every home game.

Steve Stone future Sox announcer. Nice to see old games on You Tube. Good memories of the teams and my youth.

Fergie Jenkins during the 11 CGs in a row: 7-4, 2.47 ERA, .208 BAA.

It’s amazing. Ed Sudol is umpiring every game I find from the 60/70s on You Tube.

I'll bet my grandfather was in attendance. He had Giants season tickets for many years.

Shocker: Fergie Jenkins with a complete game win. And Jim Simpson was such a great sports announcer.

Here, Ferguson Jenkins just pitched his 11th consecutive complete game. Nowadays, most pitchers, including very good ones, will not pitch 11 complete games in their careers.

Ferguson Jenkins had some impressive stuff, great control and movement on his pitches. Steve Stone later played for the two Chicago teams and won the Cy Young with the Orioles in 1980.

I didn't hear the great voice of Jim Simpson until I caught him (and Paul McGuire) doing Monday Night U.S.F.L. games on ESPN.

I have missed this game the first two times it was up here. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for putting it up again. I will make sure to watch it this time. Thank you again. We need more of these games from the days of black and white television. Especially the NBC Game of the Week

Fergie Jenkins facing Willie McCovey! Wow! It's so cool to watch Stretch hit (even though he went 0-3). It's like I'm a kid again. Can you imagine what Jenkins would make in today's game putting up his numbers and workload?

~RIP Ron Santo~

Thank you Phenia!

Umpires HP John Kibler 1B Nick Colosi 2B Satch Davidson 3B Ed Sudol (Crew Chief)

Banks retired in 71, Cubs showing resolve.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="116">1:56</a>:22 RIck Monday home run, and <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a>:03 Ron Santo home run. Both in the top of the 9th.

Great to see. Thanks!

Ah, Jose Cardenal. Best 'fro of all time.

There were more guys on the field than there are in the stands.

This was the yr the athletics started their dynasty....what a run after that the reds n then the yanks won 2 chips a piece.

Commentators: Jim Simpson & Tony Kubek

Sweet Swinging´ Billy. My favourite.

‘72 was a long season for us Giants fans. We were coming off a division title and looking forward to the future. But they stumbled out of the gate and never recovered. Fifth place finish. Mays traded to Mets. Marichal’s first losing season. Spent all the money for artificial turf and couldn’t draw

Miss those days when pitchers went a complete game. Who needs a closer.

The only chance I got to watch the Cubs.

Charlie Lau once said that Billy Williams would have been a .310 lifetime hitter with more power if was not so top-hand dominant in his swing. Still put up fine numbers in a real pitchers' era.

Bobby bonds, what a player....i remember when he came to yanks, tremendous of the field too...father was no slouch compare with his famous son...his son was a great ballplayer but, the serious steriods scandal is going to keep him off the hof.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="161">2:41</a> The national anthem performed by Jeff Carter, who also was the P.A. announcer. He would introduce the anthem and just start singing with the accompaniment of the old organ that was removed in the late ’70s or early ’80s.

Hardly anybody there on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

I saw this game. Ibremember that catch by Maddox. I finally met Garry at Wrigley Field in 1987 and thought i was looking at my baseball cards.

Steve Stone. Future Cubs announcer

Cubs with those basketball number jersey.,

Oh Ferguson Jenkins another unrated pitcher

Excellent balk explanation

Chicago Cubs with their first double knit pull over jersey with a number in the middle on the chest ( like football) only used in 1972

I would love for tony Kubrick to explain how a baseball gathers speed while rolling on astroturf.

I remember those low attendance days

NBC's Saturday game of the week!

Ron Santos is a Seattle native, and a graduate of Franklin Hi School, infact, both he and my Mother were classmates. He played in the PCL which produced some great talent, Joe DiMaggio, Orlando Cepeda, Willie MaCovey and many more. Both my Mother and Ron Santos have since passed...R.I.P. In closing, I think the MLB writer's who play a MAJOR role in deciding WHO is eligible to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, in my opinion, DID NOT do Ron Santos justice by nominating him long after his death due to losing his battle with diabetes. The MAN was a SOLID player !!

Surely this broadcast was in color in 1972. Has it faded with age, or are my eyes deceiving me? Or is it a feature of the Kinescope? (Either way, great stuff.)

I saw Rick Monday hit a grand slam when he was with the Dodgers on the last Friday night of the season in 1982. 2 days later, Joe Morgan hit a HR to eliminate the Dodgers. That was a fun year

Stone, Kingman Speier, Rader Bonds were all future Cubs.

Jim Simpson:...”can you imagine....Denny McLain in the minors?”..unbelievable but true...1972 would be McLain’s last season in the major leagues...only 4 years from winning 31 for the World Championship Tigers and only 3 years from capturing his 2nd Cy Young award

Spent much of my childhood at the Stick in those days... hated that fucking Astro-turf BS

Candlestick Park was always empty in the outfield stands. Glad they moved out.

Saturday, June 10, 1972--a week before the Watergate bteak-in.

Rookie Garry Maddox Scaling The Fence To Rob A Homer Alert.

Fanzone batting cleanup? Wtf

How they can mistake Santo for Kingman? Only look at number.

Stadium was empty. The 72 Giants truly sucked. Stoneham had traded Mays and the team was a mess. Got to see the giants play in August on Sacramento bee day. August 19, 1972.

I want to compare old MLB games to the new games since MLB introduced the new rules for this season I want see if the new rules restore the game. Were the games faster pace back in 1970s 1980s. Then what do you think about the pitch clock ? Please reply !!

Didn’t know Candlestick Park was AstroTurf at some point

Interesting factoid that the announcers said young Kingman was a base stealer!

Mid 60's early 70's My Baseball card days.

I would like to know what was a fastball back then in terms of MPH

I would say, no team drafted, and then traded better players than the Giants (Stone, Kingman, Maddox, Bonds, Gaylord Perry, George Foster, Orlando Cepeda, Adam Dunn, Jack Clarke, Joe Nathan, Francisco Liriano,...agree?

The Giants fell hard in 1972 one year after winning the NL West in 1971

It’s nice watching players not celebrate something every five seconds. No flexing. No pointing. No stupid yelling. Baseball in tv today just sux.

i did not no Steve stone was such a bad pitcher; this is the first time i ever saw his pitching

Giants with the poor attendance, does anyone know the Giants almost moved to Toronto in 1976 before the Blue Jays were established one year later?

Stoney got traded for Santo in '74

How could Dave Kingman play for both clubs at the same time?He's batting Right handed for the Giants and left handed for the Cubs.

I had no idea Candlestick ever had artificial turf

I saw Fergie pitch o Sept. 1 , 1971. Cubs won , Fergie hit two home runs.

There is something very very wrong with this game. Joe Pepitone is not in the starting lineup for the Cubbies.

Thank u so much for baseball with americans playing the american game

Saturday , end of June and the Giants drew 5,000 to this game. SMH

Well I think the Giants mgr did a crappy job in this game. Never should have let Stone hit in the bottom of the 8th with a potential insurance run in scoring position. Additionally, his decision to let Stone face Monday in the 9th was bad, when you have a lefty ready in the bullpen.

NBC game of the week had the worst camera shots in television history

Fergie-3,000+ k's less than 1,000 BB

Kubek

Nice seeing the Lip in the dugout during his waning days as Cubs skipper. Look how little the attendance is at chilly Candlestick. With the players knelling and the planned-demic we may see this again.
