i thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you.

Love it! 21st & Lehigh, Philadelphia PA ❤️

This Man deserves HOF induction.

I went to many games there in my youth. I saw Connie Mack managing the A's. Saw DiMaggio, Ted Wiliams, Aaron, Mays, Koufax, Robin Roberts, Ashburn, and many others play there.

I love your channel, Keep up the good work

Chooch!!

i think this one is a reach. hayes was a solid right fielder. the position every player on the bench can play. he didnt embarrass himself with the bat but again he was billed as a future pillar of the team. the phillies traded franco, an actual future pillar for a guy who was at best a 5-6 hitter in the lineup and defensively played the easiest position on the field, save 1st base, which is the other long term home for this average fielder. hayes had a mystique with his movie star looks and his slow menacing warmup swing, but lets not fall in love with a very very replaceable guy who, if you put him on the wall, you have to make room for a whole bunch of other emotional favorites who's stats just dont warrent it.

people tend to un derestimate chase utly's worth to this team. they gave the best pitcher cole hamils the mvp but it was utley who hit a home run in the 1st inning of the first game of the world series. i think this was crucial for the teams confidence in the beginning of that series.

folks should also be aware of the fued between the phillies and bruce froeming, the umpire that called that right field trap a catch. in the past froeming had found several ways to deny the phillies in important games before. including 2 calls that ended their hopes of beating the dodgers in the NLCS back in the 70's. phillies announcers used to openly call him a fat drunkin pig. there was a real hatred there and it went both ways. froeming always seemed to be somewhere an important call had to be made and it never ever went in philly's favor.

im a life long phillies fan but im not sure they win that series if the astros hadnt lost j r richard for the season. richard was a legit number 1 starter at the time and with just carolton i dont see philly getting thru that series. thank god they won the world series cause that injury to richard would have been all the news if they hadnt.

Good story...on Von Hayes.... Two best hitters for Phillies Era... Mike Schmidt+ Von Hayes in 80s

Sorry, but I just can't handle the narration. However, i love the pics.

STOP THE BACKGROUND NOISE!!!!!!!!!!

This would be a good channel if you could lose the annoying loud noise in the background

This is the best channel for Phillies fans. I appreciate these videos so much brings me back to the good old days.

This is a great channel I love it

I remember some real heavy scoring games between Philly and Chicago in the 70s and early 80s! Phillies dominated the Cubs

September 83 has so many memories for me. First, I share a birthday with Joe Morgan, so I definitely remember that September 19th performance. I remember the Phillies were 1-11 versus the Dodgers that year, which made the NLCS that much more remarkable. And Len Matuszak probably had his best month as a Phillie.

Excellent tribute to our hero Bake. When i think of Phillies' best right fielders, Bake and Glenn Wilson always come to mind.

With all due respect to the late great Gary Carter, i remember disliking his style and attitude. There's competitiveness like with Pete Rose and Bowa, both of whom i love, but Gary was different. There seemed to be some unhinged anger with him that contrasts well in comparison to Bob Boone and Milt May. That was my view as a kid back in the day, not now. But the notion still resonates with me when i see Gary in action today in repeats.

I enjoyed this conversation a lot and related to it all - yet it went by so fast.

Mike is always on my mind, as well as The Bull, Bowa and many others. Those guys are my heroes, even Terry Harmon. I own one of his game used bats, right along with Willie Montanez's ang Greg Gross, who used a heavy bat, which surprised me. But Schmidt is in my heart and his stats are in my brain. 104 157 25 8 48 121 .286 - 1980

Von is a great guy but the trade was one of the worst in the Phillies history. Giles DESTROYED the Phils.

The A's got their revenge this past Sunday (7/14/24) with a drubbing of the Phillies. I wonder if there was anyone old enough in that ballpark who even remembered the A's once called Philadelphia home?

I’m desperately looking to watch the 1983 Phillies video yearbook . If anyone still has it , please post it . TYIA

A great injustice that he is not in MLB Hall of Fame. Shame on all those with votes that has passed him by. Richie Allen played first baseman, third baseman and left fielder in his HOF (non-elected) career. He died on December 7, 2020 at the age of 78.

He deserves a big " Hail to the CHIEF".

My grandfather worked at 21st and Clearfield (Keystone Lubricating Co.) and every year he would take us to a Phillies game. We'd each bring a box of CrackerJack with us, and he'd park at his work, tell the kids on the street trying to get him to pay to "watch his car" that he knew them and where they lived (and he did). We'd stop in at the tap room by his work for a root beer (his beer lacked the root), then walk down the few blocks to Connie Mack Stadium. Incidentally, my grandfather called it Shibe Park to his dying day in December, 1969. I can remember vividly the sights, sounds ("Hey! Hot Doggie!"), and particularly the smells. Back then, every man over the age of 21 must have been issued a cigar to smoke while watching the game. Even now, when I occasionally attend a Phillies game, I can still smell the cigar smoke. It was nice seeing my boyhood hero in action from 16:05 - 16:11 (wearing #11 long before J-Roll), Catcher Clay Dalrymple! And Jim Bunning, whose perfect game on Fathers Day in '64 was watched by my brothers and I on the living room floor, with my grandfather sitting in his recliner behind us, enjoying his Phillies cigars and his beer (still no root!). My brothers and I attended the final game. We watched from the 3rd base line as rows of seats began being carried out as early as the 5th inning. Being too small to wreak havoc on our own, some grown men helped us smash our seats in the 9th, and we had seat back slats as souvenirs in our hands when the game ended in the 10th. And yes, it was pandemonium! Each year, when I take my mom to Holy Sepulchre Cemetery on Christmas Eve to visit my grandparents (Pop Pop passed on Christmas Eve), I always stop and visit Mr. Cornelius McGillicuddy, and leave a baseball or a home plate at the foot of his crypt.

I used to think of Bake as my imaginary uncle. One of my favorite players of all time!

Nice, informative videos! I also enjoy the music in the background. It is so relaxing 🥰

It's too bad that not many of the ornate decorations of that fancy stadium were saved. Those would be a lovely piece of nostalgia in a museum or in a house living room or den!

I remember being in my back yard, listening to this game on the radio, I was 12 years old.

Grove & Koufax had the big lefty windups.

What a pitcher Doc Halliday was !!! RIP 🙏🏽

The NL All stars were no joke back in the 80’s

There was nothing like Harry Kalas going “ a deep long drive!!! “- RIP HARRY

WHAT A MAGICAL YEAR 1980 WAS !!! Lifetime Phillies fan !!! Then they took care of KC Royals in order !!! Both of those teams were no slouch either.

Nice vid. Would love to see one on the 1976 Philies. 1st NL East Champs

The Phillies were a veteran team by 1977 with the highest payroll in baseball. Not Young

Great job, so fans who don't know what obligations the owners of the Phillies faced with a 100-year lease, like me, thought the Phillies were badly managed! Like Paul Harvey used to say on his radio show "AND NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY"Another of Mr. Harvey's quotes "AIN'T NOTHING BIGGER THAN YOUR FAITH AND YOUR DREAMS"

11:15 Has any other team after fired a manager mid-season while in first place? I've never heard of such a thing.

The Sox continued throwing games into the 1920 season.

To me the casting was terrible. Great actors but they looked nothing like who they portrayed. The actors either looked too young or too old or had very different features

That side arm delivery was awesome, he was my favorite pitcher as a kid when he was with Atlanta. ⚾️

I can't tell you how many times Mike Schmidt destroyed my day with a late inning home run at Wrigley Field. That was a great game though...

You can add another one: 6/24/24 vs. Detroit!

Swoboda was smart. After he got caught looking at that third strike,he got kicked out of the game and went home.He'll turn 80 next week.

Rollins has everything except a batting title. I say apart from A-Rod he is the greatest ALL-AROUND shortstop the game has ever seen. He’s got all 5 tools straight up. He’s an MVP and 30-30 man. Consider that Ernie Banks never had a batting title either and though Mr. Cub was a better slugger, Rollins is a faster player. Rollins was a workhorse also. Neither Banks, Tejada nor did Ripken steal bases, and that’s a game changing plus that you get from Rollins.

OK, is that ridiculously unnecessary "music" going to play in the background the whole time??

Doesn’t matter one iota. Come on chumps!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄
