Miss when they would wear they own jerseys in the ASG.

If you didn’t know who Tori Hunter was before he robbed Barry you just didn’t watch enough baseball

I remember in last years all-star game, they said if it was a tie after 9 innings, they would play a home run derby to see who would win. Sounds pretty ridiculous at first but it’s better than ending in a tie

It would have been cool if they let the position players pitch. Like imagine watching Barry bonds strike out the side then hit a 450 ft bomb.

Could tell by the title exactly what this was about. Great video topic that I’ve never seen anyone talk about except my father many years ago.

Torii was one of my favorite Twins growing up. Brad Radke and Johann Santana were also up there for me!

The All-Star game when I was a kid was a holiday to me!!! I looked as forward to it every year as much as my birthday or Christmas. I've always liked making lists of fantasy dream teams for the MLB, NFL, and pro wrestling. I started watching sports in 1974, and the All-Star game was like my list came to life. Not only the great players, but seeing stars from every team in their uniform! Remember that back then, we got TWO games (Saturday afternoon Game of the Week, and Monday Night Baseball) a week to watch for the most part. Taking away the different teams uniform imho is just another way to try and sell you something else. LET THEM WEAR THEIR TEAM JERSEYS!!!!!!!!!!

With the runner on 2nd to start extras, ties happen less often. And apparently, there’s a rule now in the All-Star game where if it goes long enough in extras, they go to an ad-hoc Home-Run derby to decide a winner.

Wow, I knew for a while there the ASG deteremined WS home field advantage but I didn't know it was all the way until 2016. 2003-2016 that's a long time for a stupid rule. Best regular season record makes much more sense.

I worked as an usher that year at Miller Park and it was fun but so hot. At the end I had a beer bottle wiz past my head they were so pissed. I had a great time all 3 days. We had a huge thunderstorm during the derby and there was a waterfall b first base. I saw the Torii Hunter robbery I was there and saw it. There was a cool Japanese camera man there for that and he was so excited to get that

Funny this popped up cuz I'm literally looking out a window at this stadium right now

"The Night the MLB All-Star Game Changed For A Short Period" would be more accurate ;)

I wish they would go back to wearing the jerseys from their team instead of nl/Al jerseys

TORII FN HUNTER!

as i was told by the video man "literally anything"

taking this time to say... a great defensive play (like robbing a home run or throwing someone out at the plate from the outfield) > a home run. anyone can hit a homerun. not anyone can make a spectacular catch or throw someone out at the plate from the wall.

Nice vid man! Really enjoyed that!

I didn't realize it at the time... but this was one of the final nails in their coffin for me.

If I’m the AL pitcher in the 11th, I’d just be asking the batter what they want then throwing it right down the middle

0:23 - unless is soccer, then you want to spend 2 hours for 0:0 tie...

Sounds like my entire lineup in Triple Play 2002

Just remembered the card-and-dice game MLB Showdown released a special 2002 All-Star Game edition, so you could play it out and have a winner. I think I still have mine somewhere.

It would be hella shady, even for an exhibition game, but I feel like they could’ve just called the pitchers over and told ‘em to huck some meatballs down the middle 😂

I think what they should have done is change the rules regarding for substitutions for just the all-star game and allow players who have come out to be able to come back in again. I mean the all-start game after all, is an exhibition and shouldn't be held to the same strict rules as regular season games. Actually by the same logic of it being an exhibition, they could've just let it end in a tie. Again, it is just an exhibition game.

Good ol green Simpson guy makes a surprise appearance, I click like.

1:34 Shuma Gorah's theme from Marvel Superheroes, nice 3:52 Banjo and Kazooie, game show theme

SRS got bgm from Marvel Super Heroes in this video. Bro knows what's up.

Definitely glad they changed the rule back, as a Rangers fan who watched the butterfly effect video about this exact thing

Great video bro I remember this vividly

As a Rangers fan, I try not to think about how we likely would’ve won the WS in 2011 had the NL just walked it off in ‘02

Hearing Emps voice took me for a shock lol

Great EmpLemon quote

Speaking of 2017's best record, which it should have been for the past 100+ years of baseball, it's not like a team would have POSSIBLY cheated at their home stadium during that World Series, yet had to play game 7 on the road, in the other team's stadium, giving that other team some crazy idea that their pitcher didn't meltdown during the most important game of their lives didn't really matter or something. Look, I'm not saying the Astros didn't cheat, but to pretend the Dodgers didn't choke away 3 games in that series (Games 2, 5 and 7) wasn't something ether. Anyway, back to the point at hand, I was fine with a tie since it was an exhibition game. But on that matter, baseball is a game where there's no real time limit. Everyone plays until someone leads the other team after 9 innings or, in the case there's a tie after that, until someone leads at the end of each subsequent inning. If the managers are willing to not put themselves in a position to win a game, then fans have every right to be upset on both sides. So in this case, like you said, unlike the NFL, people are going to get upset if not angry. Plus, because of the All-Star game having a break for it, the next day everyone in Major Leauge Baseball has a day off. I get you can't bring in someone who's likely pitched more than they normally would, but it's kind of annoying that people want to see the best, and in 2002, we didn't get that. Final point, how is Bud Selig in the Hall of Fame and people like Bonds and Clemens aren't? Bud let the steroid era happen under his watch and didn't lift a finger to stop it until way too late. The only good things I can think of Bud doing is having the Wild Card put into action and retiring Jackie Roberston's 42 MLB wide. Otherwise, he nearly contracted the league and forced a work stoppage during the 1994 season (sorry Expos fans). Ok, rant over.

I remember the media shitstorm that took place after this.

Yeah they definitely could've planned for that ahead of time. I feel like most fans would've understood a limit on extra innings for the ASG if the MLB didn't just make it up in the middle of the 11th

Bring back own team jerseys (or design asg jerseys more unique to each team, like maybe the yankees in navy pinstripes on a grey background in an NL park)

Only thing crazier about this game was Shea Hillenbrand being in it.

Sammy Sosa the only player in history to have 62 plus HR's in 3 seasons

I remember watching this All Star Game. I had no problem with it ending in a tie. It was an exciting exhibition. One of the most memorable games. However, Bud Selig overreacted by making the league who wins the ASG gets home field advantage. It really wasn’t that serious and showed he knows nothing about baseball.

Knew this was gonna be a good video when the first thing i see is the play- GO BEARS!

I always thought they should have allowed the subbed players to come back in rather than calling a tie. Though in retrospect maybe that’s hard on pitchers.

Where baseball has changed is the teams discontent of live fans in favor of merchandise sales and royalties.

They should have let position players pitch. That is always fun to watch, and in an all star game? C'mon that would be legendary

I was one of the ones booing when the late Bob Betts made the announcement in the bottom of the 11th. I always say that I'm still waiting for the 12th Inning to start.

Can’t wait till it’s back in Milwaukee

Carl Hubble could have won it for the National League.

I feel like if it was just for the fans at that point and it didn’t mean anything, why not throw a position player on the mound 🤷🏼‍♂️

And THAT'S how 14 years became "forever"

They need to go back to wearing their own uniforms 💯💯

This was the last time i watched an all star game. I know they made it so the all star game mattered because of this, but this ruined it for me. I still watch the homerun derby though.

i love the succession theme song in the background

Literally anything

9:02 At least he does that, unlike Manfraud

Love the emplemon intro

Fun fact that road padre uniform that will myers wore didn’t even exist. They made that just for him specifically for that all star game

Literally anything I want

2016 all star game was supposed to be in Baltimore

What’s a topic on a Yogurt Bowl? Or did he say “topping?”

Why not have the position players pitch? Or bring out a pitcher who was already taken out just for this game?

I had no idea they changed it back (removing WS home team)... huh...

Thanks!

They can't just have an impropmtu home run derby in the 10th, and the team with the most homers wins?

why not have position players pitch?

What a massive overreaction by everyone who was chanting "let them play". You went to an All-Star game. You saw ALL the All-Stars. You got EXTRA baseball. Let WHO play? There was nobody left, you idiots!

allstar games have never been more than gimmicks. nothing matters from the allstar weekend at all.

The steroid sword is dull as fck! I don't care about that BORING nonsense! Great video! Thank you-Cheers!

Burger King foot lettuce

That was why it should have been concluded. It could have been with trash and other things thrown on the field.

IMO I don’t think it wasn’t Selig’s fault. The managers shouldn’t have blown through their players that fast. 🙄

This is why I don’t like Bud Selig.

literally anything

Bonds was great before roids.

Ma ma ma ma Mitchell

Literally anything in the comments

Screw the DH rule

I get it

I juiced and I didn’t make it to the big leagues and I can tell you most everyone I know who tried to make it did doesn’t make you a ball player

Torri Hunter was on ESPN e very day, dude, get that introduction to the world blasphemy out of your mouth

Ahh back when you had to win in extra and werent handed a man in scoring position...

comment of the commentor in the comment pipe line!!

So lets say an American League team wins 105 games, the National league team wins 88 games but the National league team gets home field in the WS because some pitcher from the worst team in the AL, say the A's has to be on the roster and gives up the game winning HR. This was so stupid.

Here's a brilliant idea. The game doesn't matter. So the roster number doesn't matter. Have every ball club send 3 pitchers, and have 100 pitchers on standby for a chance to appear. Ffs.

Play Ballll

Bonds The GOAT

they should of used bench players to pitch but bud was an ass

The all star game deciding home field advantage was the best. It should come back!

The ASG was rendered useless with interleague play...

'

I wish we brought back the stipulation of the winner with the respective league hosting the World Series.
