@@billterry5243 l wish Joe Buck would just go away and never be heard from again. McCarver I can tolerate because he played in the majors and caught for Bob Gibson.
Thanks for posting this! I was 17 and a huge Royals fan. On this night, I was torn- dying to see the Royals at home in the World Series, but my brother’s wedding was this night. My brother won out. So did the Royals (that night, anyway).
Hey John! I couldn't agree with you more. I've responded to other comments you've made about Pete and like I've said before I've watched him "live" in San Diego many times from 1969 to 1972 when my dad was stationed there. He didn't earn the nickname "Charlie Hustle" for nothing! Great baseball player with a great baseball mind combined with the enthusiasm of a baseball minded boy. He was one of my heroes when I was young and I still admire him.
I grew up a Reds fan and saw Pete Rose throughout the '70s. Not a particularly good person, as has been well documented, but he played the game the way it was meant to be played. With fire and passion.
@@RobertDavis-db3fs agree totally. I got his autograph in 1970 and he was kind of nasty about it. But then again, when you got about 100 screaming kids ( and some adults) surrounding you shoving pieces of paper at you, you may get a little cranky. Pete Rose was one of the most electrifying players ever. Sure, he played for the money but also for love of the game.
@ 1:43:51... Ya know how that rally cry of "Ayyyyyy Ohhh" was sweeping thru ballparks not too long ago. Well here after the Amos Otis HR the crowd could have yelled Ayyyy Ohhhh representing Amos Otis' initials. LOL Too bad the chant wasn't created back then, it would have been perfect for Amos Otis. 😆 Amos Otis was a solid player. He ended his career with 2,020 hits, .277 avg, 193 HR, and 341 SB. He led the AL in steals in 1970 with 52 and was caught only 8 times. Otis also won 3 gold glove awards. Otis came up with the Mets and was on their 1969 team with 93 AB. The Mets traded him to the Royals in the winter before the 1970 season for OF Joe Foy. Foy played only one season for the Mets before being released in 1971. Otis had several really good seasons for KC and played with the Royals thru the 1983 season when he collected his 2,000 career hit. Otis hit .478 (11 for 23) with 3 HR 7 RBI in the 1980 World Series.
I always liked Garagiola once he got into a game and kinda dropped his "color" schtick. he knew baseball and could explain things in easily understandable way once he got into the flow of the game. for some reason to be on sports tv back then you had to have a bad catskills nightclub comedy act first (garagiola, al mcquire, tom heinson, etc.) even if you could talk about your sport like an adult who doesn't have a head injury.
Funny I think of Terry Bradshaw who went from being plain and straightforward in the beginning (with NBC?) to picking up that bad catskills nightclub comedy act in the Fox studio. Also Joe Buck totally has one of those too.
@@billny33 I agree with both of you! Joe was better when he had less to say e.g., as the color man for Vin Scully. How many times do we have to be told to listen to the fans?? Tony and Tom and both solid: experts who express it well.
Umpires (Game 3) HP Paul Pryor (NL) 1B Don Denkinger (AL) 2B Dutch Rennert (NL) 3B Nick Bremigan (AL) LF Harry Wendelstedt (NL) (Crew Chief) RF Bill Kunkel (AL)
Tom Seaver says "WE got a little cat and mouse game going on between Amos Otis and Dick Ruthven" No, its not Cat and mouse between them both, its been Otis the entire series with every pitcher. Kind of annoying calling time out every time the pitcher is ready to pitch and the umps keep granting it.
He had an operation before Game 3 after his hemorrhoids had acted up.during Game 2. Speaking to the reporters before this game, he said "the pain is all behind me."
Im gonna point out a few observations. When Schmidt hit that home run, Joe Gargiola may have made THEE WORST CALL of a home run I have ever heard. Listen 1:12:20. Almost like when you play a game and are listening to the other teams announcers IN SPRING TRAINING, when Vin Scully is like WTF the Mets just took the lead on our Dodgers! It was no better AND THIS IS THE WORLD SERIES hit a home run to tie the game by the leagues MVP and the greatest 3rd basemen in league history. By comparison listen to Garagiolas call of Bretts home run 21:14. "Listen to this crowd" before the ball even goes out. 23:10 "Brett hia TREMENDOUS home run" ball went out by 5-10 feet, McBride thought he may have a play as you see. So 1:31:05, With Mike Schmidt hitting, he hits an ball to the SS, U.L. Washington who throws to Frank White at 2nd, Lonnie Smith sling with tremendous speed. If you go to 1:31:12 and pause in fullscreen, then use the comma and period buttons ("," for one frame backward "." for 1 frame forward), youll see that Lonnie Smith was safe by a mile. Yet called out? I dont know if they just want the Royals to win to make it an exciting series, for MLB, and exciting series for ratings for NBC, after what the Phillies Astros series had for ABC with Cosell, Drysdale, and Keith Jackson, they did nothing but say this is the greatest series I have ever seen, and maybe will ever see, how is this possible, we will never see another spectale like you are witnessing in this series...... Ive noticed tonight on many occasions, the pitches that look like strikes are called balls against the Phillies. Its obvious Garagiola wants a Royals win why? Maybe just for NBC ratings, and a great series, where a sweep is more boring unless youre a Phillies fan, it wouldnt have any of that Phillies Astros lore, so I think the Umps were briefed by baseball hey lets make this an exciting series, its good for baseball. And I think Gargiola was briefed by NBC or is smart enough to know, to HOPE for a KC win to get this back to a series, bc if the Phillies win its over, ad if the Royals win, its a series. No I dont expect a national broadcaster to favor the Phillies. The same way I expect them to not favor the Royals.
That was not Joe Garagiola who called the Mike Schmidt HR, it was Tony Kubek. And if you think Garagiola was getting more excited for the Royals, then you need to go listen to his call of Bake McBride's HR for the Phillies in game 1. He got just as excited for both teams. Garagiola was a tremendous announcer and very very knowledgeable as well. If you are judging him based on one lousy call, then you are making a big mistake & missing out on a legendary baseball person.
RIP Joe Garagiola & Tom Seaver
Brett and Schmidt in the same WS...baseball heaven
Probably the two best all around 3rd basemen ever to play the game!
Garagiola and Kubek calling a World Series game instead of Joe Buck and Tim
McCarver ........ Baseball heaven
@@thegoose0m1 I'd say two of the best. Definitely in the top 5.
@@billterry5243 l wish Joe Buck would just go away and never be heard from again. McCarver I can tolerate because he played in the majors and caught for Bob Gibson.
McCarver was also Steve Carlton's "personal" catcher when on the Phillies. Bob Boone caught everyone else....

21:45 ... I love that the organist plays "Hail to the Chief". Kansas City was in the middle of "George Brett for President" mania.
Don Denkinger participated in both the Royals 1980 and 1985 World Series.
I was 17 on this night, GREAT TIMES indeed !! These Phil's were a GREAT TREAM from 1977-80...* Larry Bowa A TOUGH s.o.b. too !!
I'd forgotten what a scrappy little player Larry Bowa was! Good in the clutch and a good sidekick for Pete.
Pete Rose is definitely the most fun player I have ever watched! I wish I could have actually seen his career.

Ended his career with PITT., if I am not mistaken..

SAD DAY IN PHILLIES HISTORY!!!
HARRY RECTION winning means alot more when the competition bows up.
Boone hitting better than anybody in the series, and Dallas Green has him batting 9th?
It worked, didn't it?
i can't remember the last time the two best 3rd basemen in baseball played in the same WS. anybody, anybody.?
Not quite at the level of Brett and Schmidt but Cey and Nettles weren’t too bad in 77, 78, 81. Maybe those two would come in a distant second place.
UMPS that do not call the strike zone according to the rulebook, should be replaced by ROBO UMPS..which they did not have back then..

Not illlegal then..and it broke the pitcher's rhythm..
Smart..the hurler has to DEAL WITH IT..
Skates!
Dick Ruthven pitched a hell of a game and got nothing to show for it.
May have won this battle but Phils won the war...
You're spoiling it for people who are unaware of the outcome
Now I'm confused; Did Brett have the hemorrhoid flare up or was he recovering from rrhoid surgery??
He had an operation before Game 3 after his hemorrhoids had acted up.during Game 2.
Speaking to the reporters before this game, he said "the pain is all behind me."

Strange, I've read a similar comment on game 1 or 2 making the same accusations that the announcers were favoring the Phils. Just saying.
Less is more.
