Baseball as it was meant to be played simple and unadulterated. Fenway park without ads plastered everywhere. Television without the stupid ticker running non stop. Announcers that don't talk about stats every second. What a breath of fresh air to watch. Luis Tiant, There will never be another pitcher like him, and what a hoot to watch especially at the plate. Thanks for uploading this gem.

I think the Big Red Machine is still the greatest starting lineup of all time. I was 11 in 1975; became a Reds fan then and have been ever since. But, sadly, baseball isn't what it used to be. And, hearing the voice of Curt Gowdy carries one back to a simpler time when sports as a whole was much more enjoyable and just fun to watch and/or listen to.

The voice of PA Sherm Feller was worth price of admission.

This is when I loved MLB.

1:47:16 as the baseball golf cart with the cap on top makes a delivery, Curt Gowdy promotes a new comedy/ variety show called Saturday Night that will debut on NBC later that night. George Carlin will host and apparently the whole thing is performed live. Crazy...

I was 13 when I watched the WS series in 1975 and I remember thinking how old the players looked. Now I'm 55 and the same players look like kids. Time does some weird shit man...

I remember watching this entire World Series; I was 13 years old then. I cheered on the Red Sox even though they lost the Series in 7 games. The Red Sox played a great game and Series against the Reds.

God was this a great series!! So many great players.

I listened to many of the Reds games on radio during the middle 1970s. The announcers were Marty Brenneman and Joe Nuxall.

Excellent color scheme! And the stirrups! That's the way stirrups should be worn. Super Big League! Lots of Hall of Famers in this World Series. And Terrence Mann may have been in attendance.

very great world series & great memories of life

Who else here during the Corona Virus?

Curt Gowdy promoing a new show called Saturday Night debuting that week.

Griffey had 38 infield hits in '75. Let that sink in.

I watched this series as an 11 year old with my mom who loved the Cincinnati Reds, Great series.

I was 8 years old in 1975. My first world series. None more dramatic, but cubs 2016 win satisfied my heart. I was a child but i saw ernie banks last game.

back when pitchers went more than 3 innings

Red Sox take field and " take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd" the immortal John Kiley at the organ.

I remember watching this game as a ten year old kid. I also recall my dad installing insulation in the attic during this game and I could hear him cursing up a storm up there. I miss you dad. R.I.P.

At 1:47:17 they plug the debut of SNL while the bullpen car drives in....

I loved that fans would run out onto the field after the game to congratulate the players...and security's attitude was "hey buddy...get outta here!"...and they'd push you back to go into the stands. Try that today and you end up in the ICU.

Isn't it great that we can still watch the real game of baseball and a man like Luis Tiant? Also, I didn't notice that networks added the idiocy of commentators talking over each other during WS games back then. Baseball has a pace. Let it take its pace. Gowdy is a classic. Everybody else should shut the fuck up in between pitches. Am I wrong?

During Pete Rose's first at bat, Tony Kubek says Pete's wife taped Tiant's LCS start so he could study his varied deliveries to home plate. This was the era of the $750 betamax VCRs. It would be about 8 years later that Tony Gwynn would watch video of everyone of his at bats, changing the study of hitting.

Now we know why Pete Rose knew everyone's batting average

I think the '75 Reds and Red Sox were evenly matched. Hall of Famers and All Stars in the lineup, and somewhat underrated pitching staffs. What do you think?

This series is what made me a baseball fan. I have good memories of sitting on my grandpas lap watching game six and Fisks magical home run. I miss you grandpa

El Tiante on the mound. I hope he gets into the MLB hall of fame. Gullett had that crisp fastball.

58:24 - Rod Hundley? Rod played basketball. Curt meant Randy Hundley of the Cubs. No matter.....it wasn't really a ball game without Curt behind the mic. He called World Series, Super Bowls and Final Fours, and called them all so well. He was also a great outdoorsman (from Wyoming), hosted a series called "The American Sportsman" on ABC.

Saturday, October 11, 1975 1:00 pm (ET) at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts

No matter how many times I watch this, the Sox still lose. No wonder I so rarely watch any of this series. But fortunes change, and now Ive seen the Sox win FOUR world series while the lowly Reds live in squalor. Ya got to love it.

RIP, Anyone at this game age 50+, all the umpires, Sherm Feller, Bowie Kuhn, Curt Gowdy, Sparky Anderson, Darrell Johnson, Joe Morgan, Denny Doyle...sure there are others...

This was the first W.S. I got to watch all the games. I figured out that if I put a towel under the door crack my parents would'nt notice. Game 6 was the first time I got straight BUSTED! When Fisk hit his homer, I was like Woooooooow! Mom was in the bathroom, I heard the toilet flush, and it seemed like she was coming in the door in less than a second. I tried to turn the tv off, but didn't make it in time. She was hot at me. This was when my step father (rip) came in and said, what were you watching? I said with big ol crock tears, Fisk hit a home run and the Red Sox won Game 6. He said, the Reds lost? I saw like yeah! Then he said, you like the Red Sox? I said...oh no. I'm a Oriole fan, but since the Red Sox are in our division, I want us to kick their butt next season. He laughed hard, put his hand on my head and said, next time ask if you can watch. Its after 12 and you had better not oversleep for school, and if you keep good grades, you can watch the night games. Just come to me, and I love the Birds too. So, Game 7...no need to put the towel under the door. I got to see 2 of the very best W.S. games of All Time! I was 7 and I enjoyed every second of this. Back then I loved the Orioles so much, I would go to Memorial Staduim and sit across the street and imagine playing for the Orioles there. Oh...the memories. Kids these days have so much to keep them distracted. They aren't playing in the park, climbing trees, etc... I wish I could do it all over again. I cherish my childhood, and Thank all those who made it so wonderful. This includes all the players and teams that taught me how to feel when they win, and how to be dignified when you lose. Real quick. This W.S. is in my top 3 All Time. I've seen all W.S. since 1974. Here's my Top 3 1975 Reds vs Red Sox 1991 Braves vs Twins 2001 Yankees vs Diamondbacks

I was 16. I paid $18 outside for a $6 face value ticket next to the right field foul pole

Morgan was overmatched trying to play games at first with Tiant. Respect Joe, but he was out by a country mile when Luis caught him leaning.

I was at this game. I don't know how my father got tickets for it. We were in the right field bleachers. I still actually have the ticket stubs.

I wonder if fans who grew up in the 30’s felt the same way about baseball in the mid 70’s.

I love to listen to Curt Gowdy call baseball or football. He was a terrific announcer.

El Tiante's finest hour.

My FIRST mlb Gams was at River Front… 1975 BIG RED MACHINE… Johnny Bench was ALWAYS my favorite!

I love when Curt Gowdy mentions Fisk and Bench are the two best catchers in the league, Kubek (the ex-Yankee) had to say "Well Thurman Munson's not bad."

Curt Gowdy is the all-time greatest voice of sports.

There is literally NOTHING about the modern game that resembles this.

Curt Gowdy's voice is music to my ears.

The 1975 World Series is baseball at its best.

I'd be scared shitless to bat against Tiant. Half the time he's not even lookin' at the plate!!!

14:40 "Nah, he didn't swing". One of the bigger changes you see in the game is the checked swing not being called back in the day.

I think Tiant's turnaround corkscrew motion helped him generate power for his fastball and weird angles for his curveball.

What a great game this was! Outstanding in every way. Very well played.

very talented broadcast crew Curt Gowdy Dick Stockton and Tony Kubek not the annoying check the boxes announcers today

Luis Tiant threw more strikes called as balls than any pitcher I've ever seen.

Did anyone notice that there is an 8 second delay in the audio beginning at 01:15:57 to approximately 01:36:50 (the entire 6th inning)? It's weird listening to them describe it after it happened, not that bad really. Great game, GREAT series.

this is baseball at its best and simplest

Toney kubek and curt goody was the bomb

NBC Radio: Joe Garagiola (PBP) & Marty Brennaman (C) 1st half Brennaman (PBP) & Garagiola (C) 2nd half

And Denny, Carlton, Dwight, Cecil, Jim, Carl Bill, Rick, and ALL of the other Men on that glorious team.

Curt Gowdy, Tony Kubek & Dick Stockton on NBC.

Ever notice winning a championship only feels good for a short while? Meanwhile that devastating defeat festers deep down in your soul for decades.

I was born a couple months after this played, so being a lifelong baseball fan, I felt like it would be fun to watch the LAST World Series played before I was born. A good history lesson too. Based on his resume, I’m actually a little surprised that Tiant didn’t make the Hall of Fame.

Love the Big Red Machine !

Real baseball. No bloated sterile cows with no agility like today's game.

Imagine the Red Sox line up in this series if Jim Rice had not been injured in September. But with no DH where would he have fit amongst Evans, Doyle, Yastrzemski, Fisk, Lynn, Petrocelli, Cecil Cooper and Rick Burleson ?

A world series for the ages, especially game six.

@52:35, the young catcher Don Werner whom Curt Gowdy tauted as the possible successor of Johnny Bench had two career home runs with a .176 batting average. Werner did catch the no-hitter by Tom Seaver though on June 16, 1978.

Boston should've won this World Series

Great. Baseball just awesome 👍

Not sure WHERE in the game it is but during this game one of the rare network promos Curt Gowdy did was for a new NBC late night comedy series involving sketches and musical performances. The show? Saturday Night Live. SNL had its debut episode on this night and got a mention during the World Series Telecast.

Best series ever. Go Reds!!!

Thanks for upload, kind stranger

Charlton was one tough ol fella how can anyone catch in there 40s he is a hall of fame catcher

Fisk and Bench are only 19 days apart in age.

This was the first WS that I watched in its entirety. I was 6.

best series ever..i was 10 i'm from Boston and lived in Finneytown, ohio a few minutes from Riverfront stadium

Umpires (Game 1) (3:34) HP Art Frantz (AL) (Crew Chief) 1B Nick Colosi (NL) 2B Larry Barnett (AL) 3B Dick Stello (NL) LF George Maloney (AL) RF Satch Davidson (NL) All 6 umpires, were umpiring their 1st World Series in 1975.

I love the red Red Sox helmets. That was the first souvenir helmet I got as a kid, although I was a huge Reds fan. My older brother got a Reds helmet and I couldn't get the same team.

Did Mayday Malone pitch in this one?

One of the most famous camera shots, Fisk's waving his home run fair in Game 6, was thanks to a big rat on the camera inside the Green Monster in left field. The cameraman was focused on fisk in the batter's box. he was so terrified of the rat on the camera, he never moved it as Fisk's shot to left hit the foul pole. That camera shot was used for years in NBC's Game of the Week opening. All because of a rat.

Six MLB HOF players in this series. Bench, Morgan and Perez. Yaz, Fisk and Rice. Rose and Evans should also be included. Great series!

Moments I remember.. Joe Morgan with that chicken flap while at the plate. Cecil Cooper flat lining at the plate.. repeatedly. Captain Hook.

Curt Gowdy (PBP), Tony Kubek & Dick Stockton (C) 1st half Stockton (PBP) Gowdy & Kubek (C) 2nd half

At 32:30 or so, Gowdy introduces the camera inside the scoreboard. That's the camera that captured Fisk's walk-off in Game 6.

La Mejor Serie Mundial de Todos los Tiempos

Great baseball

After the 5th inning the audio is about 8 seconds behind.

I love the p.a announcer he's very dry but love how he announced batters

God bless Mister Tiant.

Where's Oil Can Boyd when you need him? 😀

Why did the secretary of the treasury throw out two ceremonial pitches? It looked like Fisk caught the first one and ran back and said "I wanted the curve ball?" haha

the 1975 red sox were the best team to ever lose a world series.

The entire World Series broadcast team was reminiscent of the baseball game in "The Naked Gun" movie: GAME 1: Curt Gowdy, Tony Kubek and Dick Stockton on TV, Joe Garagiola and Marty Brennaman on radio. GAME 2: Joe Garagiola, Kubek and Ned Martin on TV; Gowdy and Brennaman on radio. GAME 3 AND 5: Gowdy, Kubek and Brennaman on TV; Garagiola and Martin on radio. GAME 4: Garagiola, Kubek and Brennaman on TV; Gowdy and Stockton on radio. GAME 6: Garagiola, Kubek and Stockton on TV; Gowdy, Brennaman and Martin (after Brennaman left for the Reds clubhouse) on radio. GAME 7: Gowdy, Kubek and Martin on TV; Garagiola, Brennaman and Stockton on radio. It's possible that in the entire history of broadcasting there has never been this complicated an announcer schedule.

Ah...pullover jerseys - perfection

This was pure baseball.

How comes there were mostly legends playing here? 😅

of his contemporaries only hammerin' hank aaron and pete rose had more career hits than carl yastrzemski

“No More Tears After 35 Years” those were the headlines after Cincy won this series in 7 games!! Huge fan of this team but don’t follow baseball any longer.

Great series

Two of the best offensive teams in history.

Baseball nirvana. Gowdy and Kubeck were the best.

At 1h17m the sync of sound & video is off.

"Don Gullett will be Don Gullett today" umm k

Luis Tiant, hilarious base runner.
