Jamie Moyer engineered every last drop of his mediocre arm strength into a legendary career. Precision pitching excellence and all world durability/longevity.

Faced Tony Perez (born 1942) and Starlin Castro (born 1990). In 2005 Moyer and catcher Pat Borders set two records that may never be broken, with a combined battery age of 84 and 14 confirmed children between them (they now have 17 combined after retirement). Also Moyer himself is a Moneyball legend, in a locker room conversation recorded in the book many of the players agree he's the pitcher they hate to see the most.

I feel like this is the right mix of John Boi’s eclectic production but with more lively commentary. Big fan, you’re going to be one of the big baseball KZfaqrs soon enough.

I swear I learn more about baseball history on this channel than any other channel

Pulling those old M's commercials was a brilliant touch. Always loved those them growing up.

Enjoyed watching Jimmy the 5 years he pitched for my bum Phillies. First 4 years he had a winning record and had a respectable 9 & 9 win lost record his 5th year with the Phillies. Remember him & his wife did a huge amount of charity work. Never heard a bad thing about him unlike so many other sports players.

Jamie Moyer is forever a legend, miss watching him play. But he definitive left huge legacy. Great video

So much fun, and so many feels. Even as an M's Fan, I forget that he came to us post '95. As much as I was upset at the time for the Bragg trade, it paid off in the end. The thing I would note about Jamie, is after coming to Seattle, starting the Moyer Foundation, then leaving, he still kept the Moyer Foundation in Seattle, and continued to support it and appear at events in the Seattle area, even after playing elsewhere. He still comes back to M's events often. As much as Seattle is maligned by most sports leagues, and the isolation here can get to some players, especially younger one, Jamie (along with other players for the M's, Seahawks, and Sonics), still contribute liberally to the community, even if they have long since been traded or retired.

I'm an audio engineer. I had to go to the Peoria Sports Complex to record a Voice Over with him during Spring Training one year. The made me wear this HUGE paper "badge of shame" to have access. on my Badge, in BOLD LETTERS... ABSOLUTELY NO AUTOGRAPHS I'm not the sort who would ask, but when we were done recording, I asked him if he would sign my badge... RIGHT HERE! He looks at me, laughing, said HELL YEAH I WILL 😝

I always appreciated Jamie Moyer. He was fun to follow over his career.

Idk why but in any sport seeing an old man still compete is the best

you might be the most underrated channel on this entire platform, keep up the good work sir, i love your content!

Just for context. When Jamie Moyer retired in 2012, he faced a total of 8.4% of all hitters in the mlb. Think about that. Nearly 10 percent of the entire MLB history of batters.

I really enjoy the dork town similarities man. Good content

Oh this was a treat! Fascinating and amazing video, man! You definitely channeled some Jon Bois. The inclusion of that bit of Mike Blowers being a time traveling sooth sayer on the Matt Tuiasosopo home run even though that was only remotely related was fantastic. And all the classic Mariners commercials at the end-so many laughs and good memories! I actually hadn’t seen many of them with the moose and the crafty lefties with Jamie framed on the wall lol! How does one man face 9.8% of all batters ever???!

One of my all-time favorite players

It’s mind blowing that a guy could be so reliable for so long. He was never overpowering. Just reliable. Always gave his best to give his team a shot. He made his mlb debut when I was in the 6th grade. Mind blowing

An actual KZfaq ad played during the Jamie Moyer as montage at the end. I was confused why Jamie was gonna appear in a Reese’s commercial

Saw three interesting stats recently as far as old players go: Bartolo Colon is 49 and is still attempting a major league comeback. Lew Ford (best known for his years on the Twins) is a 46 year old player-coach who still consistently plays, and just finished his 12th season with the independent league Long Island Ducks. Joe Beimel, 5 years removed from playing any affiliated ball, managed to bring his fastball up to 95 MPH at the age of 44, and recently attempted to come back to the majors last season with Padres minor league affiliates.

Great video, but that remark about Mark Kotsay made you sound silly. He had a more than respectable mlb career over 17 seasons with close to 2k hits. That aside, he was arguably the greatest college baseball player of all time. If he never even made the bigs he'd be known by astute baseball fans.

Oh man, I love old baseball commercials!! Thanks for adding those!

The commercials at the end were a nice touch.

Really great documentary, brought me back to the good old days when Moyer was still in the league. Commercials at the end were fantastic too! Thank you

The last commercial I was expecting Moyer to appear like I’ve come to help y’all pitch and I’m back in my uniform

Jamie Moyer and Dan Wilson, my all time favorite tandem to watch.

started watching your content recently and honestly i'm in love, hoping you get more views this deserves wayyyyyy more than 8k views. keep up the great work👍

You can tell he's been around a long time. He was in a commercial back when people still liked A-rod

I love that you included the Mariners ads at the end. "Ooh La La" That one always stuck with me.

I wish every organization had a strong commercial game like the Mariners, lol.

Bro your channel has doubled in size over the past week

It's cool to see the influence of Jon bois everywhere

this feels very dorktown inspired and I love it, I love the dorktown style and seeing someone do it so so well makes me happy

Really like your channel dude. Got great Jon Bois vibes with a more upbeat energy and i dig it a lot. Good stuff

I was at that Marlins game with the Stanton HR. It went out of the park so fast. It was amazing

Being what I considered a die hard astros fan I am ashamed on your far superior knowledge. I enjoy astros highlights in every video I've seen so far.

My mom got me out of school early for those two games against the Orioles. We got swept, but it was still cool to go to a Mariners playoff game. There haven't been many of those lol.

These videos are obviously inspired by Jon Bois, but that's a good thing. Very good work young man

Great video dude

Julio Franco always spit on the first pitch. Legend.

My favorite pitcher of all time

Was just thinking about making a video about Moyer -- great stuff!

As a Phillies fan I will always appreciate what he did for us for those World Series win in 08 and the pennant in 09.

Definitely some Jon Bois vibes/influence in this video. Awesome job!

Say what you want about Jaime Moyer, but he was my favorite character in The Epic of Gilgamesh.

I was hoping he could keep pitching and reach 300 wins.

great video, youre very underrated

This is incredible!!

As a soft-tossing high-school left in the early 2000’s, Jaime Moyer was a huge inspiration of mine. Him and Kirk Reuter, go Giants, lol. A shame I couldn’t control a breaking ball to save my life (sinker, splitter, and two different change-ups were the best I could do), and my scarred shins stand testimony to my shaky glove. I can’t say how much much appreciate such a deep dive into one of my favorite and one of the most under the radar MLB players, imho. Along that line, have you looked at Brad Radke or Brooks Kieschnick? Some hidden gems for that era.

Well done you just got a new subscriber 👍👍

I'm glad you found more of your own style in your recent videos because goddamn the humor and especially delivery of some the jokes in this vid is amazing, it got some huge guffaws from me. ngl though you'll probably come back to this vid in a couple years and wince at just how heavyhanded your Dorktown influence is here. using their soundtrack almost exclusively is the most glaring part, and I get it, it's hard to find good music that's not gonna trigger copyright, but it comes across less like an homage and more like you're not capable of coming up with your own direction. especially confounding is your choice to retell the Mike Blowers segment while offering no new insight as if 99% of your audience hasn't already seen the mariners doc. who is it for? not even winking at the fact that you took so much from Dorktown/Bois while also forgoing a special thanks or even a mere shoutout in the description makes the prospect of someone who isn't familiar with their work seeing this all the more troubling-they'd see this presentation and think you were behind all the choices. which is clearly not your intention at all, I think you were just accepting the crutch of a template they offered. still, giving even seemingly obvious credit is incredibly important, which is why you should probably start listing composers and at least some of the footage/image sources at the end of these. Baseball Reference specifically asks that they're credited if you use any of their stats in a piece of media and I've known multiple channels even within baseball yt that have had vids taken down manually by video game composers who were upset about not being credited properly. this comment probably comes across as more mean spirited than I meant it too. there's a lot to love about this video and I like your channel, I'm just a big advocate of artists rights and I'd do the same if I saw your videos getting taken from without proper credit. look forward to watching more from you in the future, you have a great sense of humor and a great eye for topics

Moyer was so good on the World Champion Phillies. With a roster with aces, he stood out. He was a true CHAMPION. Excellent job picking Jaime Moyer to highlight. Dude is a LEGEND.

Love this. From your UK based braves fan

I could allow more home runs than Moyer easily 😤

October 29, 2008, is my favorite day in my life. I was 13 years old and got to see my favorite baseball team win it all.

Jamie Moyer is a hall of famer

Here in Seattle, we still consider Jamie a Mariner.

my dad’s friend is best friends with him. such a great guy man

Damn this is really good

Oh man I was at the game against the Astros in Houston on April 7, 2012. I was hoping to see Moyer break the record, but it was not to be.

great video

Bro the Magnum Force soundtrack 👌 one of my all time favorite flicks

Have a autograph photo on my dresser . We were in the fireside inn the afternoon he made his 1st start he was from closest school to us

Me: “can we get Jon bois?” Mom: “we have Jon Bois at home” Jon Bois at home:

Hi. Great video ! I feel like some of the soundtrack is the same as Jon bois videos or some other videos I've seen. Where do you get those songs ?Just love the way it sounds.

Moyer throwing a shutout at age 47 with a fastball blazing in at 82 mph is peak baseball as far as I’m concerned.

You were one minute and 4 seconds away from having a 49 minute video about a 49 year old pitcher ... you missed a golden opportunity.

When Jamie Moyer signed with the cubs in June of 1984, Hank Aaron had only been retired 7 and a half years!!!

Love the content, keep it up! But one minor critique from a guy who could never make a video as good as this is just slow down talking a little bit. Still a great video though! Keep it up!

Dope video

Mariners are such an interesting franchise

He wanted to retire with his fastball and his age at the same number.

"hopefully he'll get a break with the next hitter" lmao

I hope that Jon Bois sees this channel, I really like the content

A one for one copy of the randy Johnson intro from the bois video for ichiro is hilarious

Would’ve definitely had 300 wins if not for that two-year hiatus in the 90s, and then he would be in the Hall of Fame

As a life long M's fan Jamie was always my favorite player That being said it's what he and his wife Karen have done with the with the Moyer foundation that set him apart No ego Just service to others Jamie for hof

could someone give me the name of the song that starts at 13:34

It’s weird u don’t see really old guys anymore considering injury treatments and regimes are getting better resulting in what should be longer careers

Imagine being a funny Twitter person and a funny (good) baseball KZfaqr

Rich Hill is the closest we got nowadays?

I like the "secret base but danker" energy

Hey wait a minute what is the summoning salt music doing in a basbeall video

I mean this with the utmost respect: This is like if you were walking thru town, came upon a random Goodwill, thought to yourself, "I'll browse for fun & see what they've got..." And inside, you find a Jon Bois video. But then you look again. And it's spelled, "John Boys", but it's still good, so you don't mind.

Well done son

jamie and i were literally born in the same hospital. i always found that fascinating

45:18 I find this kinda amusing when the Mariners have a player with the last name France now

🔥🔥🔥🔥

I see a lotta John Bois influence in this great video.

30:34 and that's where his career stands today

Jamie went 22 years between hitting sacrifice flies.

I am a sub and u edit better than that base channel keep it up and I hope this channel gets more subs

nice jon bois impression. respect

amazing video but that fucking ichiro clip might be the tuff day clip i ever seen

Lol Mets warning is even funnier after last night

7:48 bro said may of 1922 but yea its a fucking banger of a video

If you’re trying to make Jon Bois esque videos, you’re doing a good job at it

this is better then crack

Jon Bois Jr over here

15:00 was waiting for jon to say "alex what the fk is that?"

In my personal opinion Jamie Moyer belongs in Hall Of Pretty Good for his Statistical Career but Hall of Fame for his Longevity and Health. Dude faced the 38th most hitters in MLB History.
