I totally dig the "World Champions" jerseys. Power move.

The dancing base coach is Hughie Jennings. This is what he was known for and was loved by the fans.

Imagine if that guy knew that thousands of people would watch him drop that ball 115 years later

I wonder what it would sound like if Jomboy did these exact same breakdowns of old-timey baseball, but using an old-timey voice with an old-timey mic plugin, appropriate scratchy recording sounds, etc.

Was Joe West messing up calls back then too?

In 1902, as a member of the Baltimore Orioles, John McGraw was suspended by Ban Johnson for verbally abusing an umpire. McGraw never forgave him. Two years later, as manager of the Giants, McGraw refused to play the AL in the World Series as an act of defiance against Johnson. He instead declared the Giants 1904 World Champions. A year later, McGraw agreed to play Connie Mack's A's in the World Series. The Giants won 4-1 behind Christy Mathewson pitching 3 shutouts in 6 days.

What's absolutely mind-blowing is that these guys are fundamentally playing the same sport as what we watch on TV. Sure, everything about the game dynamics and athlete development have changed, but they're playing on the same field, with what's essentially the same balls and bats, (mostly) the same rules... 115 years later and we're still going strong!

0:40 "Shoeless Joe Jackson staring into all of our souls making us feel uncomfortable." That's why we love ya Jomboy...

0:45 Now I ain't gay, but DAMN! Shoeless Joe was towing a WAGON

If that windmill windup pitcher was named Chief, then it had to be Chief Bender because the runners that scored on the RBI double had A's on the jersey. The 1904 World Series was not played because the Giants team president refused to play the AL team and secondly, because the 1903 World Series was a voluntary agreement. But the Giants still won the NL pennant, so he probably still claimed the title. 1904 was also the same year that Happy Jack Chesbro won 41 games for the New York Highlanders (Yankees). Love baseball history!

The third base coaches reaction had me weak ☠️

Jomboy Media has the best comment section. I just got buried in knowledge as I perused.

We need to start asking more of our base coaches. Is it so hard to learn one or two quick routines to celebrate a stolen base or stretching a single into a double?

Players now: Don't do that! It's against the "unwritten rules"! Dead ball era: Coaches doing a dance for the player being safe. Looks like modern players are just sensitive.😂

1:06 "Why I ought! Nah, just playing." Lmao

Incredible, glad this exists, greatest baseball KZfaqr at the moment and he’s covering early 1900s baseball

0:57 That's baseball royalty right there. The two greatest players of the Deadball Era. We're so lucky to have video of the two together.

The ump doing the Vince McMahon is the best part of this breakdown.

More of this please. I'm all in for the older footage and special Jomboy breakdowns!

Dancing third base coach is Hughie Jennings, the Tigers manager. He was known for dancing in the box like that.

It would be kinda dope if teams wore “World Champions” jerseys with it in the style of their font/logo

The 1904 World Series never happened because the giants refused to play

I think Tony La Russa started managing around this time

That guy's middle name is literally 'Mountain'. That is awesome.

1:08 WHY I OUGHTA

The "why I oughta" caught me off guard and slayed me. 😂

Looked like 1904, because 1908 was when the Cubs last won the World Series, beginning their 108 year drought. And I noticed the New York Giants only won the NL pennant, the 1904 World Series was basically cancelled because they refused to play vs the Boston Americans (now known as the Red Sox).

Man the dead ball era was the real deal. If I could go back in time to see one thing, I’d watch a game in the dead ball era.

Jomboy sounds like Pat McAfee but on less "I do sex" "supplements".

You've fallen into the old-timey baseball rabbit hole, I'm so happy for you! There's a photo somewhere of Christy Matthewson releasing a pitch somewhere around 1908 and it looks EXACTLY like Tom Seaver's mechanics, fascinating stuff all around everywhere you look. BTW, that batting practice with the packed stadium must be the 1910 World Series between the Cubs and A's, I'm guessing the handshake between managers comes from the same reel. Speaking of ye olden World Series, there was very loud talk at the time of rotten players throwing it for money in 1912, 1914 (the Miracle Braves sweeping an A's team pissed off at Connie Mack's miserly ways) and 1918.

1:50 "mcreggor walk" LOL

That's Opening Day 1906 in the old Polo Grounds, the wooden stadium that burned down a few years later, before they built the steel and concrete Polo Grounds that stood until the 1960s. John McGraw ordered those "World's Champions" uniforms after they beat the A's in the 1905 World Series. And that's the legendary Christy Mathewson, who doesn't catch the ball back from the catcher at the end. The first staged handshake is between Frank Chance, Cubs manager and first baseman, on the left and Frank "Home Run" Baker from the Philadelphia Athletics before the 1910 World Series. The next staged handshake is between Kid Gleason, manager of the White Sox ("Black Sox") and Pat Moran, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, before the 1919 World Series. The film of Cobb and Wagner is before the 1909 World Series. And the third base coach was Tigers manager Hughie "Ee-Yah" Jennings who was noted for his dancing in the coaches bock and for his yelling "Eee-Yah" to pump up the batter.

Giants won the World Series in 1905. They declined to play in the 1904 WS against the Boston Americans.

i can’t find a link to hunter rye in the description 😤

Thanks, Jomboy. Your videos are teaching me to re-love baseball, a sport I had long ago given up pre-October. )

Love these old games! Commentary takes it to a new level! Keep em coming Jomboy!

Love how the outfield wall ads are hard liquor.

I wish this expanded more on how the game worked in the dead-ball era, when every base counted, players were forced to take additional risks, and each stadium presented a unique set of challenges.

That was so awesome! I'd love to see more of this sort of historical breakdown.

I love watching old baseball clips and reading out the history of baseball. It’s absolutely fascinating.

Players were paid 37 cents and a plug of chaw per game back then.

Babe Ruth was said to have patterned his swing after Joe Jackson. Watching Jackson swing, I can see it...

I love your channel man. Your sense of humor is great. Thanks!

Lovin the new sponsors, JOMBOY! 🥎👍🏜️

My dead ball era also lasted until I was about 19, 20.

The most interesting period. Legendary.

1:12 brought joy to my heart. Thanks Jomboy, didn't realize I needed that

I just noticed you've never done a breakdown of CarGo's walk off cycle in 2010. Such a badass moment deserves some love

Bring back the diddy dances 😂😂

Jesus, Wagner and Cobb in the same clip. Never would I have imagined I'd see that one day. Amazing 👏

Dude.... I LOVE your videos! Thank you

I can’t get enough of you breaking down ancient MLB history. Keep it up.

Jomboy please review Bo Taoshi for a Weird Sport Friday one of these days. Look it up here on KZfaq and you will know why I'm asking. I feel like you're perfectly suited for giving a breakdown of the minutiae at play.

"He didn't catch the ball there, because, why would he". That's only Christy Mathewson there.

Thanks Jomboy, I love the glimpses into the past. The technology that was just barely available paired with an almost other wordily era is so cool.

ive been waiting for you to comment on baseball history. youre an absolute legend and a treasure

It was probably dangerous for the photographers back then too, but people didn't really have time for such luxuries as personal safety

Nothing says deadball era more than a guy in a "World Champions" jersey dropping a ball.

Thanks for doing this finally. Been following many of them on Way Back Twitter and they been asking why Jomboy Boy aint't doing them some vids. Mostly talking shade. BTW, they liked and RT this.

What amazing footage, cobb n wagner just chilling together

“He’s going to sway his arms McGregor his arms off right there” 😂😂😂

Hey more dead ball! Thank you Mr Jomboy

“Oh a dog”😂😂 love those moments he notices something he missed in editing they add so much flavor

Been to a few games, but never really watched baseball. This channel has made me so much more interested in the sport!

Back when players looked like bar-brawling dock workers.

Ty Cobb was the GOAT back then

If I had time machine, the first trip would be to go back and see some of these games. Loved the commentary!

That ad totally worked. I'm going out to get some Old Bushmills Whiskey.

Look how rough the field looks. The subway in the outfield. Wonderful time for baseball

Imagine if the Astros wore Jerseys that read "World Series Champions"🤣

Fantastic Stuff!! Please keep doing old timey baseball stuff

I gotta say, that stadium is kinda fuckin sick. With the packed bleachers, cool building behind left field and a train...love it

"Why I oughtta...!"

They whole dead ball era style is so masculine

This entire video is great, but the "sponsors" at the end has to be the best bit.

wow i loved that ... especially the prancing about by the 3rd base coach, players coming home and the umpire ... need to bring all of that back for sure ....

Chief Bender, Im guessing

"Includes paid promotion"

Do more of the commentaries on dead ball era!! This was so hilarious 😂

Awesome stuff! Also apparently Old Bushmills is in Ireland and is temporarily closed but seems to be still functionable and is owned by Casa Cuervo. Neat.

Better than 2020 baseball.

A fan???? I even knew that was Commish Landis. Maybe I should get a baseball channel and make some smarmy comments. Edit...still some cool content.

This is one of the best breakdowns. Thank you!

great as always lmao. maybe go for 40s-70s. might get some better/more extensive footage which will help jomboy out a bit more😂

Imagine a time when there were no high fives, or no butt slaps, what do you do with your hands !?!?!?!

Honus and Ty we’re making a bet: whose card would be more valuable (?) 🤔 💰

This video was abso AWESOME!!! Do more of these??

You should do a breakdown on the pre-ring rewards that were given out in the early days of baseball, even the pre-WS era. It's something to look at, such as the fact that for their first title the Yankees gave out pocket watches.

Is it just me, or did people seem like they had more fun back then?

They should be putting all this old footage through the process Peter Jackson did that WW1 documentary with. At least make it run at a realistic speed.

Absolutely beautiful. Whenever I use the ole “I remember my first beer” saying. I would like y’all boys to know, 3rd row behind home dugout, packed crowd during BP in this video was when I actually cracked my first cold one. Cheers boys 🍻

My favorite part of all these old videos is the mannerisms of everyone. The weird dances and the way they bounce on home plate and the umpire swag walking around lmao. It's just all so odd. I wonder if people will think the things we do now are that weird.

You should do a breakdown of the boner play

I feel like most of these guys would have a hard time making a college team if they were playing today.

This is amazing! Good stuff

Very awesome. My buddy still puts bush mills in his coffee in the mornin.

The St. Louis Cardinals were the team wearing the “World Champions” jerseys, not the Giants.

No small children in the stands. They were all at work pulling an extra shift in the steel mill.

Pls do more of this historical analysis. Its awesome.

That Bushmills Whiskey sign is really cool
