You also forgot to mention that Howie's Achilles rupture forced the nats to prematurely call up a 19 year old kid who had played a whopping 8 games above A ball named Juan Soto in May 2018.

You forgot to mention that Howie's the nicest guy in the world.

Thats me standing behind Howard in the high school team picture. What a great story of determination and hard work. It could not have happened to a better person. Very grateful to call Howard a friend. Great video.

As a Nationals fan, I will always treasure the memories that Howie Kendrick gifted to me. A real legend.

Been an Angels fan all my life, Howie Kendrick is one of the most iconic players of my childhood

Howie is a Washington legend. I’ll never forget that run. One of the best years of my life. I went to one of the games vs St. Louis. I’ve never been in an atmosphere quite like that. Second to none

hitting a series clinching homer is something every kid dreams of making it into the show yet not only did Kendrick do that not only did he do that twice but in the SAME POSTSEASON October is how Legends are made

Im tearing up 😢. That year was everything. We weren't supposed to make it, we weren't supposed to beat the brewers or Dodgers. And then we weren't supposed to beat the astros. And yet here...we...are. thanks for a incredible journey.

My VERY FAVORITE memory of the 19 campaign....the GS into the seats at Chávez Ravine...Per Bo Porter..."He Got The WHOLE VILLAGE. " The team got past the curse of the NLDS. They went on to sweep the Cardinals...and then, as an underdog won ALL the away games...never been done before. A MAGICAL EPIC WS RUN. So grateful to have witnessed it.

I'm a Jays fan from Toronto, but I always admired Howie from a distance. Baseball has a lot of guys you like to root for even if they're not on your team 👍

Howie was my favorite player ever. I grew up Angels fan because I lived right by their Spring Training facility in Tempe, and I remember every year as a kid my dad taking me to go watch the Spring practices and games and he even threw me a ball at the end of an inning.

I’m glad this video exists because Howie Kendrick is my favorite Angel of all time. Loved watching him growing up.

Kendrick's grandslam and Rendon's homerun against the Astros are two of the best moments in Nationals history

Great tribute to one of my favorite players of all time. The Angels org always mentioned him as being a potentially hitting champion, and while injuries prevented a good career from being great, it was awesome to seem him realize his potential with the Nationals. So happy for how his career bounced back!

Was intrigued by your thumbnail, and was very surprised by your low subscriber count upon finishing your video. I enjoyed the entire presentation and can’t wait to watch you grow the channel!

I was so bummed when the Angels traded Kendrick, and wish they kept him, but was thrilled to see him hit that game 7 home run!

As a nationals fan, Howie will forever have a place in my heart.

As an Angels fan I love that the baseball world loves Howie so much.

The '19 post season playback gives me chills. Such an awesome year to be a Nats fan. I actually got to meet Howie in 2018 too, super cool dude.

I yelled and cried like a baby in complete joy and surprise when he hit that HR and the Grand slam was epic. It's like no matter how out or down we were, Howie became so clutch just when we needed him. Thanks Howie and thank for putting together this video.

Howie Kendrick man this man is a legend. One of my favorite players in the Angels. Love you homie. Much respect thank you for being a part of the Angel's honestly watching Angels was my whole teenage life

This was probably the most inspirational well made baseball video I've ever seen. Thanks!

As a huge Angels fan when him Vladdy and Figgins was on the team it was so awesome seeing him get a ring and him being a key factor in getting it. What a legend!

22:21 "We're going to have tough times, we're going to learn how to win, but the only way to learn how to win is through all those mistakes and failures and I'll tell you all those failures have paid off today." What a great moment.

Fantastic video. Howie was definitely the kind of player you love to root for even if they aren't on your team.

As an Angels fan, I always loved Howie and miss him dearly. That homer in the WS made me so happy for him. What a triumph.

Watching this i didn't see the sub count, but this is amazingly well edited and so well done it doesn't make sense you don't have higher. Very nice presentation, and truly inspiring story!

Man, what can I say... I've grown up with baseball but not like most who have baseball as a national sport so I only ever got to watch highlight shows as a kid on cable TV with ESPN when I was visiting my uncle (because he had cable TV) and then later on when I moved to the UK in the early 2000s there was practically no coverage until many years later. Thank the KZfaq Algorithm gods for sending me your way because I watched the highlights of Kendrick's GS and wondered why I hadn't heard of him before. You've given me a history lesson I've been dying to hear about for years. What an underdog, what a character and stoicism on his part to keep persevering. Having recently got back into the game after a 22 year hiatus I broke my shoulder sliding into 3rd and my only fix is KZfaq videos and highlights. This has given me new vigour to keep going once I'm healed. 38 years young playing a kid's game. Can't get much better than that. Thank you. You've earned my sub. Onwards and upwards for you and your channel!

Went to St. John’s with him. This dude was an absolute athletic freak. Super nice and humble guy as well.

The 2019 Nat’s run Is what got me back into baseball. I’ll never forget that watch enthusiast and his clutchness!

As a Nats fan, I got goosebumps reliving these memories with you. So many years of failure, heartbreak, and defeat after a half century of no baseball at all in Washington were erased with one swing. I was a senior in high school when Howie hit the pole, and I don’t think any high schooler in Virginia made progress on their college applications the next day (I sure didn’t). Loved the video

Huge Angel fan here. Always loved Howie. Makes me happy that in that Nats season he made people remember him and now he is one of the most loved players of our time. Howie Kendrick is the man!

I always thought Kelly throwing that heater was a boneheaded play; the context definitely helps…

Great job on this video! Howie is the man.

IDK about that title, but thanks for the great story. Never really heard of Kendrick, but definitely Hollywood material. You made me love him. ❤

I'll never forget being at a Nats game at Citi Field, when Howie came up to bat, and a young Mets fan behind me said right away "I hope he gets a homerun!" His mom explained that Howie wasn't "on our team" but the kid just said "but he's nice! I like him!" There's something about Howie's smile that just makes you want to cheer for him!

Howie is not just a great player but also a great dude. Glad he helped win us a ring in Washington!

One of my favorite angels of all time. Beating the dodgers in the playoffs as a Nat only made me love him more

Angels Legend Howie Kendrick

He gave me a personalized autographed ball for my birthday years ago. Such a great lad

this video made me so happy. Kendrick was my favorite Angel the entire time he played there

I love Howie for his story but really loved him when he hit that GS against the Dodgers 😂!! HOWIE ! HOWIE! HOWIE!!

What I mostly got from this was truly how exceptionally amazing that Astros dynasty dominates & currently still is! Might be the greatest dynasty of all-time after watching this perspective! Thx!

“Get off me!”. Awesome. Great video, thanks.

Loved him back when he was on the Angels

AMAZING video and an even better story!! i had no idea about Kendrick before the Nats and didn’t really know how he went 0-4 before hitting those 2 HRs

Hell of a ball player and an even better man. Will always be a DC legend. Hats off to you sir

Never knew about this guy other than hearing his name in the opposing lineup. Seems like a solid player & a great role model. Good video.

Howie has always been one of my favorite players ever Him and vladdy sr made my childhood

An amazing story about an amazing person. Great video.

I got nothing but respect & admiration for Howie Kendrick 👍

Great video for all the under size and over looked guys. Put in work and trust the process!

What is very excellent video you created very well-documented very well narrated.. PS Howie Kendrick is a homeboy and a humble outstanding baseball player and man

This hurts as a Houston fan. Great guy but it’ll always hurt

Kendrick was a huge part of the greatest baseball season I’ll ever have as a fan. And FYI, what really turned the Nats around that year was shoring up a MLB-worst bullpen beginning in June and getting Turner back in the lineup - you could do a whole video on him playing nearly the whole season with a broken finger.

Great video. I stopped watching baseball in the late nineties and just got back into it a couple of years ago. Thanks for introducing me to Howie. I’m a fan.

Great video. I had no idea he had all this happening. Imagine the off-field stuff that we can’t know about. Dude is a monster.

Rangers' fan here. First of all, what a great storybook ending. What every kid dreams of doing. Second, I can't help but notice all the '23 Rangers Easter Eggs hiding in this video. Andrew Heaney, Corey Seager cameos, and Max Scherzer being the starting pitcher of that game 7 against the Astros, the first time in history in any sport where the home team lost every game of a 7 game series. The only other time it's happen being the '23 ALCS, also with the Astros being the losing team, and also with Mad Max starting for the winning team. Also, Kendrick's grand slam after going 0-4 reminded me of Garcia doing the exact same thing.

Man I’m an astros fan and I’ve hated for years that we lost that series. I feel so much better about it now. This is awesome

Cool to see this. He played triple A in Salt Lake City which is near where I lived for a few years. Was always so cool to see him play

Die hard Nats fan here. Howie Kendrick’s 2019 postseason is something that I will never forget. His HR’s vs the Dodgers and Astros were 2 of the happiest moments of my life. An improbable run was cemented by an improbable guy.

Great going Howie! No matter how many times you got knocked down, you remembered to get back up!

I'll never forget watching that world series in my dorm room with some of my buddies. We're all boston fans but ended up all rooting for the Nats because of Howie (and also cuz at that time everyone hated the Astros lol).

Good video, even motivational

I appreciate the use of the Pokémon level-up jingle.

Great work on that. Very professional.

keep up the amazing work loved this video!

Howie Kendrick is the Nationals equivalent of the Capital's Devante Smith-Pelly. Underrated guys who weren't exactly well known, but made absolutely massive impacts for DC championship runs.

I'm a Ranger fan. I watched all the 2019 postseason games and adopted the Nats as my postseason team for the year after the Soto RBI in the WC game. When Kendrick hit that GS against LAD I was completely geeked. I re-wound and watched it probably 50 times. Just stunning. Naturally as someone who hates the Astros, I completely lost my S when he hit the 2 run HR in Game 7 of the WS. It wasn't Adrian Beltre hitting a walkoff home run in the WS, but I yelled just as loud when Kendrick's ball clanged off the foul pole. It was neat seeing an older guy stick with it and come up big in the clutch that year. Inspiring. I'm always fascinated by the guys who stick around MLB who aren't necessarily stars but cobble together long careers. Kendrick is much more of a regular dude, and as a regular dude myself it's more relatable seeing him do this as compared to someone like Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, or Fernando Tatis Jr.

"scored the winning run on a JEFF MATHIS double" the rarest words ever spoken in baseball

The drag racing celebration he did is EASILY the coolest in playoff history. Mad props for that absolute banger after the homer.

Rendon was clutch too, maybe even more than Kendrick. But it is funny he didn't do shit in Anaheim. But MVP was Strasburg for sure!

Great video man, very good presentation!

Nice job on the vid.

One of my favorite players growing up for sure, love his swing

Howie Kendrick is just one of those guys in sports that you simply cannot dislike.

This is really well made, I'm surprised you have under 1k subs, you deserve more

Man thats a really nice video man. Keep up the work!

Excellent work on this.

A severely underrated channel You deserve way more views and subscribers! Keep up the great videos!

Great video man, loved it.

You definitely gotta keep doing these player career deep dives!🔥🔥

Truly inspirational video, very well done

Fantastic breakdown and great video. Coming from a Washington Sports fan you made me re love some good nostalgia.

Fantastic job! I really enjoyed this video!

Amazing video!!! Another great job

That was a lovely CLANG off the foul pole, then it’s drive the car with Eaton.

As a hardcore Red Sox fan didn't like facing him especially in those young days so glad it worked out for him God bless you 🙏 bro

I loved Howie that postseason! He was so awesome!

That’s the crazy thing about baseball. 2/10 is bad, 3/10 is really good

He was always my favorite angel growing up. I loved how he just played the game, kept his mouth shut and delivered. Now it's Mike trout obviously, but growing up, Kendrick all the way. He signed my angels uniform when he was a dodger too ;)

As an Angels fan I always thought Howie seemed like a cool guy in his interviews. He was never the big name star of an MLB team. But he could go through stretches where he was dominant. It was so great to see him shine in 2019 against the Astros as a veteran player. I remember Bregman not being able to comprehend how he hit that ball for a home run down the right field line. After knowing how much the Astros likely cheated in 2019, it’s even better.

Rendon, Soto and Howie were awesome. Never forget.

Me and my friends called him Howie Kenrake in the 2019 season lol

Think about how loaded that 2018 Nationals team was. Harper, Soto, Turner, Rendon, Zimmerman, Scherzer, Strasburg, Kendrick…how that team didn’t even make the playoffs is a question that will be asked for eternity

I never knew really much about Kendrick other than he was one of the couple of hundred "hall of very good" players. Baseball really has some great stories. I hope he gets at least one vote when he appears on the ballot.

Howie will get free food and drinks in DC until the day he dies. He’s a legend over here.

As a D.C. native who grew up in Manhattan a Mets fan, thank you Howie for helping to defeat the Dodgers and letting me witness something my dear grandmother, a huge Senators fan, never got a chance to see: a World Series winner in our nation's capital.

I was so hyped watching that homerun then. Now watching this video makes me happier seeing him hit that homerun

What a great story and role model for young ball players trying to make it and think there is a chance if they put the work in!
