@@mikequinlivan8842 Kirby is a big reason I became a Twins fan. I'm actually from Knoxville, TN, so I'm surrounded by Braves bandwagon "fans".So it was particularly gratifying when Kirby, Herbie and the gang took that series.

RIP Kirby

And then came game 7 no scoring until one out in the bottom of the 10th

He didn’t even mention Puckett. And McGuire was still legendary, even before the roids.

Don’t forget Maz. When he was finally inducted into the HOF he couldn’t stop crying. He was born and still lives in Wheeling area.. Have a pix signed by him. Does anybody know if KZfaq has his attempted speech

@@sandranorman5469 idk how he’s in the hall. Hell, hitting a walkoff in game 7 is enough in my book

I'm a Phillies fan so you can rub that on your chest.

As a Phillies fan, 1993 will always break my heart

I’m from Seattle, all the way across the continent, but Joe will always be one of my baseball heroes

I am a STL boy, but that hit and that call and Joe Carter's elation are what makes baseball great.

@@jonathanfoutz8931 Seattle's going to be exciting this year!

Exactly. One of the best calls ever.

A friend and I were outside a theatre near Philly, in drag and waiting to get into "Rocky Horror." I had the game on headphones. After Carter's homer, he and I danced in the middle of Black Horse Pike singing "O Canada." We forgot we most likely were surrounded by Phillies fans.

Never fails to bring a smile on my face!

He CRUSHED that ball

Same here, I'm too young to remember the 06' world series but 2011 is clear as day. 2019 was awesome too!

Just what he had already done before that moment and to end it with a walk off. I forget at times what other amazing plays by Berkman and others because of the masterpiece of Freese game 6. My top moment in Cards baseball in my lifetime hands down.

And it came 25 years after the ball that went through Bill Buckner’s Legs.

@@mandolinrainman7186 freese doesn’t hit that walkoff without Berkman in the 10th

On my knees begging you to spell Mazeroski correctly

Game 7 of the 1960 World Series had everything you’d ever want out of a deciding contest. The Pirates were massive underdogs against the Yankees dynasty and were beat by double digits in their three losses (a combined 38-3). Their three wins were mostly scrappy, lower-scoring affairs in which they never scored more than 6 runs. So the fact they had a chance to win such a high-scoring affair was notable. Even more notable is the fact that this game featured wild swings in momentum. The Pirates jumped out to a 4-0 lead, then trailed 7-4 after the top of the 8th. They then retook the lead 9-7 after a 5 run explosion in the following frame. They couldn’t close out the game, however, as the Yankees tied it in the top of the 9th - setting the stage for Mazeroski. Finally, Mazeroski was a defensive guru at second base and definitely was not known for his power. (Also home runs at Forbes Field were not easy to come by.) I feel like 1960 gets overlooked because of how long ago it happened. If a game like this were to occur today, it would be at the top of every “Best World Series Games Ever” lists.

@Stephanos77 🤣

Agree this one was the best, Carters is the 2nd best winning the World Series in game 7 and game 6 take the cake. Gibson is the 3rd best for what it was. After that all of them are pretty great (Gonzalez against Yankees is probably the weakest because that isn’t a HR in a lot of parks) and no I’m a Cardinals fan not a Yankees fan. Freese as a Cardinals fan was cool, but it’s the middle of the list overall other than the Camera work, it probably did have the best cameraman following Freese.

very loud crowd cheering as well those are pre vietnam war tv camera picking up that sound

Thomas was a far better hitter than Gwynn and Puckett

Rickey Henderson was the best baseball play I've ever seen until Ohtani

The pitcher likely is the first one to know the ball is gone.

I see so many different pitchers all do that for Giancarlo Stanton. It's a regular reaction for Stanton. Look for it. Guess Eddie was freakishly strong like Stanton in his time. Or to put it better Stanton is freakishly strong like Matthews. Some players just have that reputation and that crack immediately off the bat that pitchers just know

The Dusty Rhodes game was the first one I could remember seeing on TV. I was at the Mathews game. That could have been a brutal loss after Spahn pitched a great game. By the way he also gave up the lead run in the tenth. But pitched a complete game. You would never see that today. He was a great pitcher and pretty good at the plate at well. Lost 3 years to the army. I don't know if he would have caught Johnson. He was 54 behind when he retired. But no doubt he would have been the 3rd best pitcher in wins.

@@sanford943 Are you aware of Spahn pitching 15+ inning game only to lose 1-0 to Giants on walk off homer by who else, Willie Mays?. Juan Marichal pitched all16 innings for Giants to get win. Marichal actually had a few more complete games than he had wins. I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true for Spahn. I think both starters in that 16 inning game still pitched their next scheduled start.

@@stephenkammerling9479 well aware of that game. There is a book about that game. There is a book about the game. The greatest game ever pitched. By jim kaplan. Spain threw 201 pitches, marichal 227. I didn t think they kept pitch counts back then. Spahn was 43. Completed 22 games and led the league for the 7th time in a row. And he pitched 259 innings. He hung on for 2 more years. But he was done.

So true.

I really hope that Joe Carter has never had to buy himself a drink anywhere in Canada (except Montreal, maybe) since that night in 1993. Iconic.

The book on Dennis Eckersley was that, when he needed a strikeout pitch, he always went to a backup slider. Kirk Gibson was waiting for that pitch. He fouled off pitch after pitch until Eckersley finally gave him that backup slider that he was sitting on.

That and Buckners error are my stand outs

@@daveshearer1961 I've heard, and most likely correctly, that Eckersly was extremely tough on right handed hitters, but lefties had a much better chance against him. Gibson was a lefty. However, I'd still prefer to have Eckersly pitch to a lefty, than most of the mediocre right handed pitchers out there. Eck's three quarters to sidearm delivery made him real nasty to right handed hitters, but obviously lefties were a bigger challenge for him.

yes totally agree. considering his injury it's a bloody miracle he did what he did. Best WS game ender ever. Total momentum shift in the series, too. The A's were heavily favored and with good reason. they were a damn good ball club with the best closer in the game.

"Tell Tommy I have one good rip left in me." Bob Costas was near the dugout and heard Gibson say that. Gibson didn't play the rest of the series.

LMAO...he's clearly more excited for the Gibson home run. Stop it.

Jack Buck's call on radio for the Gibson home run was one for the ages. "I cannot believe what I just saw!"

@@howie9751 The main difference is that Scully let the play and ensuing celebration happen without his voice. He let it happen organically so that everyone could soak in the cheers. Buck talked the whole time. I'm not saying anything is wrong with that, but Scully was a master announcer. Unequaled.

@@kidyubyub I think Scully's call was very good for the moment it happened. Buck's call was more memorable and brought fans into the moment, including people like me who were routing for the A's.

@@kidyubyub Scully was doing television where the announcers are supposed to let the picture tell the story. Buck was on the radio where the announcers have to paint the picture.

Only come from behind HR to win a WS. Mazeroski's walk off is when the game was already tied.

@@koolaid117 yep. Insane. Stuff we made up when playing as kids.

Mazeroski's won the series as well and it gets a slight nod in my book because it was a game 7 walkoff while Carter's was a game 6 walkoff. If Carter hadn't hit his and the Jays went on to lose the game, they still had a game 7 available to potentially win the series. Mazeroski and the Pirates didn't have that luxury which makes it slightly more clutch. I think Mazeroski's walkoff occurring in 1960 takes away some of the glamour compared to others on the list because most fans of the game today weren't alive when it happened and thus didn't get to experience it in the moment.

@@jhawkkw87 probably true. I remember watching that 93 series and it blew me away. I didn't realize the 1960 HR won the series as well. Thought it just won the game. I agree with what your saying.

@@jhawkkw87 Not gonna argue that, both were clutch hits at the right moment.

Duth-tay!

@@marthalee1793 earthquake was during the 89 giants vs a’s World Series

@@martinzaehringer1697 it was the only game the A's would win too, Hershiser pretty much dominated the A's, killing any momentum the walk-off had.

@@jackson5116 the bulldog pretty much dominated EVERYONE that year

I'm a Yankees fan, but I'd put Mazeroski's HR at #1.

Carter's was my very first baseball memory up in Wyoming. A truly memorable moment.

Vin Scully's call was the icing on the cake for that Gibson pinch homer.

@@ThereIsNoLord Jack Buck's call on the radio was even better. One for the ages.

I was for the Phillies but how could you not be happy for Joe Carter? Great series...

Jim Jim Personally, it was David Freese in 2011 for me. One of the best moments of my life. Born & raised in St. Louis, I remember watching this live. The Cardinals have given me memories I will cherish forever, this being one of them. Amazing. Other favorites from this video for me, the McGwire homer in '88, I didn't even know about that one prior to this. The Game 7 walk off for Pittsburgh, that's the shit you dream about as a kid..Fucking Joe Carter....amazing. I love baseball.

If we’re talking pure drama it’s Derek Jeters. The first AB in November history ends with that. Added on is the fact that it’s only being played in November because of what happened in NY

Gibson and Carter's homers came when their teams were trailing. That adds to the pressure. The Freese homer came in maybe the greatest baseball game in history, so it deserves a mention.

For me, Joe Buck ruins the 1999, 2005, and 2011 calls. Hopefully others exist, for posterity's sake.

MiniClips that was my moms coz

What I loved about was he never hit homeruns. When they planned to the Sox dugout the players where shocked.

Posednik* the video wrong

Me too...unfortunately...lol

I remember that well too. He didn’t hit a single home run in the regular season. He hit one earlier in the playoffs, then this one. 170-175 games and he hits two homers, and yet one of them wins a World Series game.

Yeah and then he barely made it around the bases. With his physical problems at the time, and that swing he had to hit it perfectly on the ball. It was pixel perfect contact there for sure.

@@johnsineni Yes, Gibby was gimpy legged, all right, but he managed to get a good pitch off Eckersley, and tomahawk it into the rightfield seats.

Gibson knew that Eckersley loved the back door slider after the 3 & 2 count. The rest is history.

My thoughts exactly.

Why did Eck throw a low pitch to a guy who couldn't lift the bat?

Curt Schilling pitched masterfully in game five and should have won the World Series with the Phillies. If he had done that there is no way the HOF could have kept him out after winning three Series with three different teams. Mitch Williams was to blame for the disaster and was shipped off to Houston that next week.

@@jameshoran8 I seem to recall that Mitch Williams received death threats and had to move out of philadelphia. It's too bad that some people take sporting events far too seriously.

@@lsrasr158 I agree. But he's back in Philly and seems to have regained a lot of his popularity. Basically he gave Joe Carter his best pitch but it wasn't good enough

@@jameshoran8 I agree that Schilling should be in the HOF. Unfortunately, Schilling made himself his own worst enemy by being too vocal about his views, which made enough BBWAA voters shy away from including him on their ballots. Sometimes, a little humility speaks volumes for some people.

@@jameshoran8 And I recall that the pitch before the homerun pitch was a great pitch by Williams that Carter was lucky to foul off.

I wonder how many teams we would have by now if the MLB ownership wasn't an invite-only oligopoly afraid to compete with anyone outside their club.

@@TheOtherBradBird Just as many as long as the Athletics and Rays remain in limbo. Blame their stadium situations that are taking forever to resolve, not the owners. The Rays really just need to get out of Florida.

@@jonnyblayze5149 Right. I forgot about that.

@K Maxx I didn't see that game (NLCS game 6). Was that in Houston against the Astros? I think game 6 of the 1986 World Series could also be considered in this.

My favorite baseball moment! He is my great uncle even though i’ve only met him once. Shame Boston lost that one, that moment was magical.

@@RedditTime0 What a treat to have the great Carlton Fisk as a great uncle! WOW! He was one of the greatest players ever to put on a uniform. That team was loaded with great players. Unfortunately, so were the Reds that year.

Flaky Bill Lee thinking it was a good idea to throw Tony Perez a blooper pitch in the most important game of the year was pretty bad. Darrell Johnson choosing career minor leaguer Jim Burton to pitch the 9th was worse. I've always believed Luis Tiant should have pitched that 9th. Yes I know he pitched Game 6 and didn't do well, and was probably exhausted. I don't care. With my balls pinned to the wall I'll trust Tiant throwing 60 mph more than I'll trust some green kid out of nowhere throwing 90 mph in the biggest inning of the year. The Diamondbacks did something similar in 2001 when they brought in Randy Johnson on 0 days rest to pitch the 9th inning against the Yankees in Game 7, and it paid off when the D-Backs rallied in the 9th for the winning runs. Yeah i realize Johnson had a rocking-chair game in Game 6 in 2001 when the Diamondbacks blew out the Yankees so it's not exactly similar, but I still don't care. Jim Burton, Darrell Johnson? Really? Like old Sparky Anderson used to say, "Make them beat your best."

His only at bat in the series. Beyond clutch.

@@superchitownhustler the entire at bat is noteworthy. The incredulity of EVERYONE when he got sent out. What a buildup! And then fouling off multiple pitches until .... Bam!!!

@@vendingdudes It was a beautiful thing.

And it was a cold rainy night in Chicago. Probably about 40 degrees and constant light rain. Terrible hitting weather. That series was downplayed likely because the White and Astros weren't the media's favorite teams. They probably wanted a match-up of Yankees or Red Sox versus Cardinals.The series was a White Sox sweep, but every game was a nail biter. I remember McCarver whining "How do these things happen" after Podsednik's homer.McCarver was singing the praises of the Houston reliever, inspite of some recent bad outings right before Podsednik connected.

The closest sweep ever.

Zero home runs is underrated?! Pffft!

I’m with you. That Pods homerun was exciting. Most people don’t realize the white Sox hadn’t won a World Series in 88 years, longer than the 86 year drought the Red Sox ended the year prior that EVERYONE talked about.

@@stephenkammerling9479 that game was incredible and has since been forgotten about. Cold, rainy, Mark Buehrle vs Andy Pettite. Konerko hits a slam in the 7th to put the white Sox on top. Houston ties it with a 2 run double in the 9th with a very close play at the plate. Then Scott Podsednik walks it off in the bottom of the 9th.

Well this is a coincidence...just finished your Enter the Gungeon video.

It is number one

@@michaelleroy9281 I'd put it at number one too, just for game 7 alone. It had old school (starter going 10 innings), drama (Braves should have taken the lead off Pendleton's double, but Smith didn't round 3rd to score), and a walk-off. Also, can't ask for more intensity in a game than 1991's Game 7.
