1-Garvey was safe
2-Umpire was out of position and prob due to lack of anticipating the play
3-Was Rivers playing CF and RF on this play? Reggie-where are you on this play? Were you signing autographs 😂
4-Keith Jackson, Howard Cossell and Tom Seaver 🎙
And Cossell, the hard core Yankees fan, letting his rooting interest show right through his announcing
Cosell is spelled with just one S.
Good play by Rivers but Garvey was safe.
Munson...... the reason I always wore 15 when I played
I'm a yankee fan,but i think he is safe.
Easy to say 40 years later
Yeah, sure, you are a Yankee fan.
Munson got him
Watch it again
Garvey bends his leg when he slides
Steve Garvey should be in HOF. He has the #'s and accolades to back it up.
He would have hit more home runs had it played in a smaller ballpark. He and Gil Hodges were very comparable
Look at the way the crowd is all standing up
Keith Jackson and Tom Seaver in the booth.
Garvey was safe! I remember watching the game with my brother. The Dodgers could have returned back home with a 2-0 lead and with a ton of momentum!
How can you tell? There was NO good angle or close up of his foot touching the plate. Stop crying!
Garvey tried to score from first to home on a base hit with his short little legs. Ridiculous! He wasn't even running hard and besides, the Yankees won the whole thing so it's moot! As a matter of fact they won it all again against the Dodgers in 78 too.
He was safe
Most base runners tried to take an extra base on Rivers, usually it worked....
It should have worked on that play too.
Garvey was SAFE!!! Not even close. The umpire didn't even see the tag.
Bad calls have always been part of the game.
Another blown call.
I'm trying to figure out why the plate umpire was so far out of position on that play. The only reason a plate umpire should advance toward first base is if there's some sort of play possible at first base and the first base ump has moved away from the bag to watch for a catch. Clearly, we have a bounding ball hopping into the outfield. There's no play at first base--and with six umpires on the field during the World Series there's seldom a need for an umpire to wander away from his infield position.
*It amazes me that there are so many people commenting on this video that Garvey was safe. His right leg was over home plate as he slid on his left backside, and he never brought his leg down to touch the plate before Munson tagged him out. His backside also didn't make it to the plate prior to Munson tagging him out. The umpire was definitely out of position, but he still made the correct call. Garvey was out.*
All this shows is how poorly the cameras used to catch the action. Great job by Rivers, who cut a loping Reggie Jackson off. Wise decision by Munson, in going out to get the weak throw and lunge back for the tag. But the Umpire obviously was not expecting a throw home, so he was out of position. You can't see if Garvey got the plate or not, from any angle. But I remember seeing a picture in Sports Illustrated (I think) that shows Garvey's foot in line with the back of the plate, which would have meant he had slid across the front portion, before Munson's tag. Most umpires go by "did the runner get to the plate first" when they can't see him actually touch it, and therefore call them safe . This one did not. A huge play.
Appreciate this analysis. I would love to know if that picture is accessible online.
Garvey and the Dodgers was robbed on that play.
Garvey was not out
East coast umpire.:(
The Dodgers lost by a run in 12 innings. The call would have been easily overturned, plus much clearer video today. The days, when the Yankees always got every call.
Steve Garvey was safe ... WOW the Dodgers got robbed on that one ! 😕
Garvey should have gone ballistic at the umpire!!
Instead of Dodgers going up 3-1, they get a run taken away, and the Yankees scored a run in this bottom half inning. Completely changing the game.
It was safe no doubt, the umpire was bias.
The same BS the following year when Jackson stuck out his hip to deflect the ball thrown by Bill Russell.
Rocky Racoon Dodgers should’ve been able to hold a 2-0 series lead
Munson misplayed the throw.
@@Bill-uo6cm Yeah and Steve Garvey was safe.
@@josecarranza7555 *Wah.*
Safe or out I'm not sure, but what was the umpire doing so far up the first base line? He was totally out of position to see the plate and make the call.
He was in the correct position for the umpire during this time. Positioning has changed
Steve Garvey played in 5 World Series, 4 with the Dodgers and one with the San Diego Padres. He only won one championship when Dodgers beat the Yankees in 1981.
SAFE
Fantastic play by Rivers and Munson.
Maybe if Garvey was running at full speed this wouldn't have been an issue
That's about as fast as Garvey ran.lol
He wasn’t a fast runner.
But that’s irrelevant, he was safe.
Couldn't do it.. would have messed up his hair
@@josecarranza7555 he wasn't slow. Dodgers played on grass instead of turf otherwise he could have stole more bases. Actually still had double figures a couple of times. He played defensive back at Michigan State. He just wasn't smooth so he looked plodding but actually had decent wheels.
True, but he was safe 🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
Nah, he was out by a country mile 😂 Signed, a life long Yankees fan who watched this game on tv.
Can you imagine if they had instant replay back then? Both the 77 and 78 World Series outcomes would have been different.
Absolutely!
This play still gets me mad. It ruined the Dodgers momentum.
yankees got a big break.
They always did. They were great teams, but always got the calls.
I remember watching that play live on TV and being amazed at how Rivers had the presence of mind to cut in front of Reggie Jackson (who had a better arm, but who may have been dogging it ) and fire it home on target (despite it bouncing several times along the way)
I don't think Reggie realized Garvey was going to try to score from first. Mickey recognized it right away.
Yea, I agree with this. You can kind of tell, in my opinion, by the way jackson casually reached down while rivers picked it and released it quickly. Jackson appears to be a little surprised when rivers lets it go and he sees garvey bolting for home. again, my two-cent analysis
@@rick188888 That's a good point. Maybe Rivers recognized it because HE would have tried for home like Garvey did.
@@rick188888 Reggie had the reputation of being nonchalant as an outfielder
Surprised in that Mickey Rivers was a pie thrower! Right up there with Juan Pierre and Johnny Damon
Regarding the title of this video:
No he didn't.
Garvey = safe
OUT.......his right foot never touched the bag....and Munson tagged him
Garvey was too busy trying to be Mr. Perfect and was not running hard
It's really close, but if Garvey busts it around third instead of slowing up, he's easily safe and it wouldn't come down to the umpire. Tony's right.
Garvey was safe. Ump was out of position to make the call.
I saw a photo by photo of this in a magazine and it sure looked like Garveys foot hit home plate before the tag.
Don't know what was worse:
a) Garvey pulling an anchor around the bases (God, he was slow)
b) Rivers throw
c) the ump's call
That's payback for '77 against the Phillies when Garvey was called safe at home during a play when obviously he missed it.
We was safe
Bobby...it should be "we were".
If the leg touched the plate he was safe.
He was definitely safe!
Rocky Racoon Dodgers should of never let Garvey go. He was great with the Padres!
@@JB-po4ue . I agree.
unreaal garvey was safe. not even close.
Bad Call-Mickey Rivers didn't fire it home-he rubber armed it in, first to home is difficult but it did look like he was safe
Rivers throwing arm was known to be weak. He was known as Mick the Quick - the ground he covered during a game made up for the plays at the plate.he couldn’t make.
Rivers made the play because he beat the right fielder to the ball and picked it up bare-handed. Not wasting a motion going from the glove hand to the throwing hand. Munson made a great play at the plate going after the weak throw and diving towards home plate kicking up dirt, impeding the sight of the home plate umpire
HORRIBLE call. Ump was out of position and just took a guess. If the Ump had not blown that call the Dodgers would have won that game instead of losing in extra innings. They likely would have gone back to LA with a 2-0 lead but we can't say that for sure because Martin may have managed game 2 differently if they were down 1-0. The Dodgers roughed up a tired Catfish Hunter in game 2 .... Martin MAY have pulled him very early and it could have made it a closer game. But this bad call, allong with blown no interference call with Reggie Jackson in game 4 of the 78 series basically hosed the Dodgers out of back to back World Championships.
Anyone else miss the days when dirt flew up like that in baseball and football?
SAFE !!!
I’m a Yankee fan and Garvey was safe.
What was Jackson doing? He should have been charging in on that ball and fired, but instead, Rivers hustled over from center. I wonder if the Dodgers third base coach saw Rivers field the ball and sent Garvey based on Rivers' weak arm. Smart calculated move that should have paid off. Lasorda must have lost years off his life from the 77 and 78 series.
Rivers made the play because he beat the right fielder to the ball and picked it up bare-handed. Not wasting a motion going from the glove hand to the throwing hand. Munson made a great play at the plate going after the weak throw and diving towards home plate kicking up dirt, impeding the sight of the home plate umpire. Reggie was ready to pick up the weak ground ball with his glove hand. Jackson may have been the worst fielding right fielder of all time
What was rivers doing all the way over in right field? Shouldn't that have been Reggie's ball?
CLEARLY SAFE..
Was that Tom Seaver on the call? He was all over it.
Yes
Garvey ... not the fastest guy on the field. He looked safe but...not the fastest.
Looks like Garvey was robbed that October. Hope he does better this November 🤞
Baseball is so stupid and backwards! They had separate leagues offices and umpires. A complete waste of money and resources. Finally they got a clue and now there is just one office and umpires. Also no more AL or NL baseballs, it's just a MLB baseball.
That rant was triggered by that AL umpire who was out of position and missed the call! Terrible!
That was a real s**tty call
Too bad there was no replay then.
Safe.
Bad call but this game went into extra innings so Dodgers had a few chances to win it. Can't blame one bad call on losing a game.
You can when it costs you a run!
Are you familiar with Don Denkinger and the 1985 World Series? Yes, one bad call can cost a team a game.
@@jscottrockford Oh, and you watched the entire game and that was the only bad call???? What about balls and strikes?? This happened in the 6th inning I believe. You cannot determine what would have happened if the run had counted. Yankees had the lead in the 9th. Had it been a tie game, maybe they would have played it differently, bunted, etc. Again, one bad call does not determine a 9 inning game unless it's the last call.
Robbed in both world series
He was out! That umpire is Hall of Fame Umpire Nestor Chylak .....and my uncle. He was a great guy and very well respected by both players and managers. He never threw Earl out of a game. RIP! You were taken away from us at such an early age. We miss you!
God bless your uncle. May he rest in peace. He also made the wrong call. Garvey was safe. 😘
He was safe.
Safe
Paul, it would make no difference if he was your father and the greatest umpire who ever lived. He blew this particular call because he was completely out of position to see it correctly.
Your Uncle blew it! Like the announcers said, he was out of position. Munson blocked his view of the plate. Garvey = SAFE at home!!!
Safe
He was safe
Safe
