Wow , 1971 was the first year I started following baseball. This brings back memories . I can never forget my first game at Fenway Park with my Mom and Dad . Seeing the Green Monster and the players live will be something that will be with me until the day I die .
Used to watch them retrieve balls that went into the green monster net. I was in awe of them walking on top of the wall
so nice to watch a game with no instant replay, no mention of exit velocity, runners at second base to start a inning, no pitch clock because was not needed when umpires called strikes that were strikes.
Priceless clips from 1971, really brings back fond memories of the great game of baseball
Best in-game footage I've ever seen of the old ballyard in Kansas City. Can almost smell the Arthur Bryant's from down the street. Thanks so much for posting.
Yes, I've seen 100's of games from Royal's and Kaufman stadium on TV, but never from Municipal. So cool.
This is a trip down memory lane. 1971 Boston Red Sox with Ken Coleman and Johnny Pesky at the microphone. Thank you for this!
Too cool. You don't hear anything about old Municipal Stadium in KC.
One thing about Vida, he put his entire body into every pitch. He threw heat.

Great upload thanks, the catch by the royals 1bm...was outstanding, like a wr.
these are great memories as a red Sox fan. we had the best defensive shortstop.
Reggie Jackson bunts? Rollie Fingers clean-shaven? Communication issues between Mangual and the outfielders remained.
That wasn't Reggie bunting. It was Mike Epstein. Reggie was 9, Epstein was 5 and Reggie was a lot faster than that back then. It was the next year that the A's grew their mustaches. Fingers kept his to this day, I believe.
The confusion is that they often jump suddenly in the footage and audio track. The announcer begins saying something about Jackson, you assume it's because he's the batter stepping in (when it isn't), then we don't get to hear them finish what they were saying about Jackson as they suddenly skip ahead and next thing you know the batter (Epstein, #5) is bunting.
I know! I said the same thing! Jackson squaring to bunt???? Didn’t look like Rudi appreciated that backup play to the end the game. I do recall Fingers with no stache in the early days though.
The night before the A's game is a game I'll never forget. I was 9 and was a big Red Sox fan and in the Sportspage they made a big deal of the matchup. Sonny Siebert was undefeated and pitching amazing with an ERA around 1.50 and Vida Blue was coming to town and was like 10-1 with an ERA around 1.00. Neither were at their best but Siebert bested Blue 4-3. Around a month later we moved back to NJ and the rest is history.
My parents grew up as Brooklyn Dodger fans and my Mom is still alive at 88 and a LA Dodger fan and my late Dad switched his loyalty to the Mets in 1962. He started taking me to Shea Stadium and I became a Mets fan.
My first baseball cap was a Red Sox hat my Dad bought for me at the Sears in Natick and I loved WHDH Channel 5 for baseball and WBZ Channel 38 for hockey. I don't remember the Celtics and the Boston Patriots were like a second class team. I remember seeing Joe Kapp's numbers in 1970 and he was horrible.
Great memories!
ViDA was a beast that year
Thank you. Please tell me that you more footage of the Kansas City Royals, I think my dad and I were at this game.
There's a family connection to Patek on my dad's side:
My Pop (Grandfather) was in the Air Force back in the 60s when Patek was, and he was even in my Pop's "group." Patek was playing for the Air Force baseball team when he came to my Pop and requested a hardship discharge to take care of a family business. My Pop granted it and got it through pretty quickly, so Patek went home.
Not too long after that, the manager of the Air Force team came into my Pop's office mad because he discharged the star shortstop. Pop told him that he needed to help with the family business. The manager said "That's not what he's doing. He's been drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates and is going to play baseball!" My Pop, smart man he is, replied "Well, he'll probably be making more money there than he is here."
I wrote a letter explaining this story to Patek a couple months ago. He doesn't typcially respond TTM, but 4 days later he called me and talked to me for 10 minutes about the story and my Pop. He and my Pop have since talked on the phone, and I will call him back soon to talk baseball.
Never a Red Sox fan, but I loved baseball as a kid during those years. Why hasn't anybody tried to bring back the red/white/blue Red Sox stirrups, even as a one game throwback? The kid in me thought they looked cool.
Great footage thanks for posting!!
BTW, I saw Curt Blefary getting a base hit and he was the speaker at my baseball dinner in 1975. I was 13 and held up the line meeting him. He had been an Oriole and Boog Powell was my favorite AL player then and was having a great comeback season with Cleveland. I was talking to Curt about Boog and his great season and he blamed Earl Weaver who was an asshole in his opinion? Finally my Dad walked up apologizing and said move it you are holding up the goddamn line. Blefary smiled and said I was fine. I got back to the table and my older Brother was goofing on me and my younger Sister was smiling.
1969 Mets orioles when I started watching ⚾ baseball
The year 1971 was the year immediately before teams started to wear double knit uniforms.
Pittsburgh Pirates were the first to get them in 1970 a few teams were wearing them in 1971 Cardinals and Orioles were wearing them that year
@@michaelleroy9281 Yankees were a bit later around 1972.
Carl got booed a lot that year.
Davan Mani He played through a thumb injury and suffered a slump. Refused to bench himself. Ingrate fans.
@@johnmoore4 no doubt, the year he had carrying them to the ws in '67 and the 40 homers he had the year before?
And it would continue through most of '72.
Vida Blue came from the future to be awesome.
When the boobirds were all over Yaz. Strange to think about that now.
Roland Fingers sans mustache.
forgot to mention no wild card games to make the playoffs. Just not the game that I grew up loving and they have made so many changes it seems to cater to those who are not fans and forgetting about those who have always been. none the less I still love the game it self, just wish for the " good old day's"
5:01 Patek is out. He bounces up off the bag with the fielder's tag still on him. The umpires back then didn't stay with the call the way they do now.
You could just as well have subtitled this 'Various losses.' ; )
please can you upload Tigers games from the 80s please! like you did a while back. thank you!
Fred Patek...
Always easy to spot.

19:05 Lol. Quintessential New Englander observation. 30:05 intersting regarding curfews.
never see a pitcher pitch 10 innings ever again probably, what a lame game it has become, they really have ruined it..
Back when baseball was fun and fans didn't look like communists decked out in fan gear
One thing I've noticed about these early 1970 Red Sox teams, the fielding was terrible. Yaz couldn't even a cut off man, over throws home plate. He did get better as time went on but not just him, infielders making errors quite frequently.
Kaufman stadium away from everything
The A's looked like they were wearing pajamas.
But they were some sweet pajamas. That style of uniform was actually pretty common at the time. The sleeveless jersey look had been around for years.
'71 was the A's last year with the sleeveless jerseys. The Pirates had worn them up to mid-season 1970, the Indians through '69, and the Reds through '66.
Then there was sort of a revival of the look with different teams in the '90s, starting with the Marlins:

@@ronmackinnon9374 Funny how once the A's and and the Reds abandoned sleeveless jerseys they started winning.
@@mikepatrick5909 the Cincinnati Reds were National League champs in 1961 still in their sleeveless jerseys.
