I’m sure they faced each other in spring training when bonds was with the Pirates and Clemens with the Red Sox.

Being a Phillies fan in the 70s was painful but we never missed watching a game when Steve was pitching. Still my all-time fave.

It was Vida not Veeda. VieDa

What's more impressive or I don't even know what you'd call it... Those 9 RBIs accounted for close to 20% of his total RBIs for that entire season

One hit wonders my ass…he had a fantastic ‘99 season as well, among other solid seasons.

Seattle hitters watched a ton fastballs right down the middle go by that game if you rewatch it. Something Im sure was super frustrating to Mariners fans watching who didn't understand how that could happen so often with such great hitters. It happened because Clemens splitters were so nasty hitters were reduced to guessing. What looked just like a fastball right down the middle you started loading up a full swing for could end up being a nasty splitter diving out of the zone at the last second making your swing look ridiculous. It's an interesting and unique pitching performance to rewatch.

It was a magical year for us Phillies fans even though we finished last. We knew that every fourth game, we were as good as any team in baseball. I remember early in the season against the San Francisco Giants at the old Candlestick Park, Carlton gave up a single to his thorn-in-his-side nemesis shortstop Chris Spier. He proceeded to pitch a perfect game from that point on, 27 up, 27 down. I went to Veterans Stadium at least a half dozen times that season, but only when Carlton was scheduled to pitch. I was there behind the plate (albeit in the nosebleed 700 section) for his 20th win (which was also his 15th win in a row). The following 1973 season, he went 13-20, but us Carlton fans never lost hope with him, and he righted his ship in 1974 and then won 3 more CY Young awards over the next 8 years.

At 10:06, the surname of Willie Montanez is pronounced Mon-ten-yez

At 5:23, It’s Vi-da as in Vigh (rhymes with High)-da (as in duh). And at 7:16, he was on the Cleveland INDIANS…said it, it’s not a four letter word…INDIANS

I was 11 years old in 72 that Phillies team was horrible. Wise was a ok pitcher. Carlton was unbelievable that year

For me as a New England sports fan Mike Greenwell was like the Silver Surfer and then later Tom Brady was Galactus. 🐊 39 12 🏆

You failed to give a mention of the incredible 1978 season of Ron Guidry: 25-3, 1.74 Era, 246 strike outs!

MLB The Show needs his 1972 card in Diamond Dynasty

I was there for Hideo Nomo no hitter at Coors field. There was a 4hr rain delay. We went to the pub, then went back to watch the rest of his masterpiece when the game resumed. I live in Denver, a 4hr rain delay?.But I still tip my cap and saw a bit of baseball history. And I saw the 2nd Rockies homegame ever. So go Rockies.

Why was Carlton so much better for the Phillies than the Cardinals? The Cardinals refused to let him throw his slider. Carlton had a 95 mph fastball and a big, slow-breaking curveball. “The theory in certain clubs and among certain pitching coaches was if you started throwing the slider, you would lose your curveball,” explained then Phillies pitching coach Ray Rippelmeyer. “Carlton had a very good overhand curve, but I knew the slider theory was a complete fallacy. I convinced him to throw the slider." “It was devastating,” recalled Larry Bowa, the team’s shortstop. “I’ve never seen so many right handers swing and miss at a pitch.”

it wasn't just that he tossed a no-no, this was also before the baseballs were kept in humidors.

Carlton was a great pitcher, some years, but at least one of his Cy Young awards was a travesty.

Love your content, but the "Golden Sombrero" is 4 strikeouts...

He had an almost unhittable slider that broke so late over the plate.

One of the most enjoyable seasons ever, despite their dead-last finish. Happened to be the first year I started watching the Phils. Seemed to be an even trade when Philly got Carlton from St. Louis for right hander Rick Wise. Towards the end of the season a fan ran out on the field, up to Steve at the mound and shook his hand on behalf of all the fans. Philly sports were in a very sorry state at that time.

He had one of the greatest seasons...ever

It wasn’t steroids nor was it a fluke in my opinion.

Interesting video. I really enjoyed it. It's okay to call them the Indians cuz that's what they were back when Gaylord Perry pitched for them. :-)

Patrick Bailey will be a better catcher than Alvarez and Moreno this year. Should have won the gold glove in 2023

good video

Good list but idk I really think Kyle Harrison is going to be right in the thick of it for ROTY

Barry’s Stats are crazy. Dude is the only player in a season to get walked more times than hitting a foul ball

The definition of "Built different": should just say "see Nolan Ryan"

PEDS *** STERIODS *** Brady Anderson *** PEDS **** STERIODS

My favorite Slocumb tidbit is the fact that he played for 8 teams in 10 years, one of my sneaky favorites for Immaculate Grid lol

Great video. Would love to see more "Legends Collide". Are you still creating baseball content? Your stuff is really good man.

@3:48 what are you talking about Ichiro hasn't looked "solid" in any of his at bats yet? He doubled off him in the playoffs, and again at 5:40 you say his "first hit in all the time he faced Rivera". Regardless of you quickly mentioning the playoffs and saying you were going to leave it out, these statements are still literally lies. At 6:34 you say " he finally gets one to the outfield"🙄. Again ignoring the playoffs double but just as egregious, insinuating Ichiro was attempting to hit the ball to the outfield every at bat. Ichiro is the most notorious infield hit king of ALL TIME, he purposely would hit the ball on the ground and use his speed. Ridiculous egregiously irresponsible commentary.

As a 21 year old from Maryland who was named after Mr Anderson, this makes me feel very good 😂

STEROIDS.

I was disappointed that he retired from the Red Sox at such a young age. Excellent player!!

Maybe you guys should stop worshiping false baseball gods and stick to say, Hank Aaron, The Babe, and others who did not need to cheat all us fans and all future fans. Without steroids NONE of them would hold the entirely lying bogus records they do. I admit it. Barry was great already before his head grew two sizes between seasons.

He should have won 3 MVPs

Bryse actually went to the same high school as me

Juan Pierre is my favorite player along with Sammy Sosa.

Killer screwball

Thank you Willie #21

This might get more hits now that Willie just passed.

Yesterday, Willie passed away. Fly high Willie!!!

My uncle was a legend!!!!

Belle is the only player in MLB history to average at least 40 doubles, 40 HR, and 130 RBI per 162 games for his career

Great job! Ichiro is one of my favorite players!

Hello always been disapointing to me that his place in baseball isnt more celebrated then it is.Even hes cards are under valued in comparison to other pitchers like Nolan Ryan Sandy ,an a few others of the same era. Hes stats prove the point

Thanks for that great video! I was a 15 y/o that year and I remember that season so vividly! Despite the Phillies having one of the worst teams in the league they KNEW they were going to win the day that Carlton was pitching! He was such a great competitor and his slider made superstar hitters look helpless!

Pedro got robbed a no hitter by his own teams offence.

WHY TF ARE YOU OBSESSED WITH OPS+? Just do OPS like everyone else in baseball wtf
