89 didn’t seem to have the same feeling as 84. Of course 84 was a special year and team plus it was the first since 45 but it just felt different.

Watching on May 17,2024. Just because.

I think baseball was a lot more exciting back in the 80s.

So cool! I was on that Deerfield Team! #55 Tandy. lol! So cool to see this video!

it happened 34 years ago tonight, and on a Tuesday. on Sep 26, 1989. It's Tuesday Sep 26, 2023, Cubs take on the Braves, the #1 team in baseball right now down in Atlanta.

I remember watching this game at home in Montebello, California when our cable subscriber had Superstations WTBS-Atlanta and WGN-Chicago in our cable package. Always following the Cubs, I was over joyed to see the Cubs wrap up the NL East Division in 1989. Living in Los Angeles, I was so hoping to see the Cubs to win the Pennant over "The Hated Ones" a.k.a. the San Francisco Giants. But sad to say, the Cubs lost.

I'm not going to no bar! Lmao

Rick Wrona

Dunston could FLY

HE LOOKS LIKE A MAN PLAYING WITH BOYS!!

HEARD ABOUT THAT KID FROM CHICAGO THAT PLAYED WITH GARNETT!!!

WHERE DID THEY GET THESE SORRY ASS ANNOUNCERS FROM ??? PRE SCHOOL SUBURBS!!!! HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT BASKETBALL!!!!!!!

HELL NO LETS GO ADMIRALS!!!!!!!!

28:41 - Harry Caray...has...eyes.

Montreal as a ball club was dying....the move to Washington was inevitable.

Such a different Mitch Williams than the one we'd see in 93.......not as jaded yet in his interview post-game

46:20 mark was also nice

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ can you please send me the apolytikion of the Holy Apostles in English

you could of at least showed the other sides fans.

Great interview!

Kids in 8th grade these days are doing what Ronnie was doing back then as far as dunking and its not that impressive when you go back and look at him play..you can see why he had no shot of making the league even before the injury he was lazy on D and couldn't shoot

Rip demarcus johnson

maybe he was so overrated bcuz he was playing in chicago? cuz he sucks to me. there have been so many players in il who are better than him.

i am sorry. i really am....but this was one of the worst high school games i have ever seen. Ronnie fields was ridiculously overrated. He couldn't shoot. couldn't dribble. no position. only 6'2. low basketball iq. i think i read someone in here say that he was the best player they ever seen.....then you havent seen many good players play. he's more mythology then actually a good player. other than jumping over high school kids...what the hell was he good at.?

Remember this Monday night so well. Had this exact coverage on VHS at one point but not sure I do anymore. Thanks for posting!

Artie: Wow! Great flash from the past. I’m guessing Steve is 2, Viv 6 months and I am celebrating my 11th birthday. It’s 1954, an auspicious year when our family made our first trip to Florida...to The Regent Palace on Collins Dr. In Miami Beach...in a black and yellow Plymouth Belvedere. Thinking we were a taxi, people often tried to flag us down. We befriended Greeks from Georgia who spoke Greek with a drawl. Yes, that’s Mando in the film, and she probably has a Manhattan, too. Re my tie...I’m sure it was from Saks where Mando was head of the Children’s Dept. For yearly school photos, I was always the best dressed. Evie in the film is Mabel’s age. Two sophisticated 8 year olds.

Kim: 1) Is it weird that Steve has a formal leather banded watch at age 2? Maybe no weirder than Artie wearing a tie at his 11th bday party? Also, no surprise that Steve appears to be already reading with ease at 2 years old. 2) So is that Renee in the crib? It is the textbook example of what NOT to do in today’s parenting manuals. Thick, suffocating bumpers, bars large enough for an infant head’s to get dangerously wedged, and some rough handling (was that Mando? Likely she figured the girls could handle it…she would have never done that to the boys!) 3) Also, little Evelyn looks EXACTLY like big Evelyn

Viv: Maybe 1954 because Artie's Birthday is in January (or Feb?) That means it's your eleventh bday, Artie and Steve is 2 (?) And looks exactly the same! Never saw this, like Mondo's stylish outfit!

Evie: I remember the treat of traveling to “Stella’s house” which seemed far into the suburbs. In reality it was several miles away. I caught a glimpse of Uncle George sipping his Manhattan, the mainstay beverage of that era. Those days, captured in silent films, were so great!

Him and his daddy died in car crash

I was raised in that church. I love you father Bill.

Was there ever a more poorly representative stadium for a city than the Big O in Montreal? A magical city that oozed a unique and distinct feel compared to the rest of the continent, games from that era of Expos baseball did anything but hint at the fun and adventure of Montreal.

Ronnie was playing like he was bored. Even we did that 360. He was playing like he had other shit he could be doing.

I love Sosa

I was too young to see this live, but good God do I miss Harry Caray!

Haven’t seen this since I watched it as a 10 year old in Chicago. I remember staying up late to see the end and then not being able to sleep being too excited. Fun season! Went to about 10 or 12 games that year.

Thanks for uploading!!! watched the entire thing with a huge smile on my face. Such joy

no one has googles on like a pussy, either

btw the BEST cubs uniforms, right here...no debate

holy piss, les lancaster had a glorious mullet

The title says City-Suburban. Might as well say Black vs White Showdown. I played against Ronnie and KG and when I say Ronnie could’ve went to the league as a Junior in High School I’m not over exaggerating. He still needed to be polished but he would’ve been just like Kobe coming into the league.

Never saw this game. Listened on radio. Thanks for the post.

McClendon is already looking like a manager

Awesome video! By any chance do you have the 02-03 GBN v Zion Benton super-sectional?

I was in the clubhouse when they've clinched in Montréal. We had several pennannt won in Montréal over the years, but the Cubby's one, remains the best ever. They even send a camera crew with me when I bought the champagne for the clubhouse...I'd die to find these footages :-)

End of the 80s!!!!!!!!!!

I luved this CUB squad also. DUNSTON,GRACE,MADDUX, and of course RYNO!!!!!

I'm not sure if anyone will every see my comments, but this is Very inspiring. I am the Parish Council President and the Chairman of our Future Planning Committee, for our newly named Holy Apostles Greek Orthodox Church (Loudoun County, Virginia). We are 10 years young and hold services in a small commercial space that we lease. Your story is our story. I can't wait to share this beautiful story with our congregation to let them know that we too are in God's Hands.

Like "bust a move" by Young MC the cubs are clinched division champs!!!
