Those were the good old days, the Braves on TBS. Then you could watch one of those movies afterwards that TBS constantly showed like Walking Tall or some random John Wayne movie, haha.
@@aaronolson5434 the game on TV at the pizza place in the movies was the Braves/Cubs game played on June 5th, 1985. The Braves won in eleven innings. When it cuts to them setting at Wrigley Field it was from a Cubs/Expos game in September of 1985. I think that was also the game where Andre Dawson hit two home runs in one inning and Expos almost squandered a 13 run lead.
Yeah they really upgraded their rotation from the one that started the year. They had Rainey and Rick Reuschel in the rotation to start. I think Dickie Noles started some games early too. Bringing in Sutcliffe and Eckersley was huge.
@@retrosportsvision5873 - then the next month, on June 23rd, was the imfamous Sandberg game against St. Louis which was broadcast on NBC with Bob Costas and Tony Kubek.
In lived in New Orleans in 1984 and had a choice between watching Braves games on TBS or watching Cubs games on WGN. I found the Braves announcers so boring and dull and Harry Caray so boisterous and funny that I became a Cubs fan for years. This video reminded me of that contrast. So much dead air, so many pitches not called or commented on, so many tedious observations.
@@allanmacmillan7823 Back then the announcers would normally do half the game on radio and half on TV. Often you would hear them tell the same story twice if you watched part on TV and then listened to another part on radio. 📻
Braves announcers talk about jet stream and just a normal fly ball on Durhams homerun but on Hibbards fly to left that didn’t go out they call bad luck LoL
Skip Carey, Ernie Johnson, and Pete Van Weran. Miss those guys.
My dad was at this game and the 2nd game of the double header. Caught two foul balls, one in first game, one in 2nd. I still have them both. 😊
80's baseball was awesome.
Listening to Ernie Johnson call play by play is still alot of fun.
OH yeah. This was the Braves of my childhood. Love hearing that intro music from the TBS broadcasts. ⚾

Yep.. there was nothing like 80's⚾ Especially being at Wrigley
Buckner going to Boston the rest is history may he rest in peace
John Sterling mentions the Bill Buckner rumored trade to the Red Sox. The trade happened the very next day.
Loved those Jo-Dee Chants at Wrigley; Great to See Jody Davis Homer & the Crowd Chant while he rounded the bases
Ferris Bueller is at this game.
that was 1986 against montreal.....

No way?! Bob Gibson was the Braves’ pitching coach back then?
Awesome memories🥰
Incredibly I can see a baseball game, no endless graphics, launch angle, stock reports ect
13:38 Bill Veeck who planted the wrigley ivy in 1937
A rare Chuck Rainey sighting in 1984 with the Cubs. He was traded several weeks later.

Braves are America's team? Not in 1984 they weren't.
America's team on the Superstation! The Braves would get a lot worse than they were here before they got better.
40 years ago next month....OMG
It's not real baseball unless the road team is wearing powder blue jerseys.
Wearing powder blue at home on Retro Night *does not count*
John Sterling retired April 14 2024...he is 85 years old
who would have thought back then the cubs would lose the pennant that year because of a Gatorade soaked Mit and involve Duram and Buckner

Stay tuned for Andy Griffith following the game....
Where's falcon
Leon Durham OWNED Pascual Perez
Uniforms were so much better then. Now every team just wears boring gray and white with blue or red trim.
No stupid pitch clock, no bases the size of pizza boxes, no stupid "ghost runner".
The pitch clock and the bigger bases I have kinda forget about. But that ghost runner has got to go I hate it!
Where Was Pete ?
Doing the game on WSB radio with Skip.

@@abathens They did this into the 90s, too.
@@matthewbennett4363 - altho by then Joe Simpson and Don Sutton had joined the broadcast team.
