I love how George is some goofball who manages to constantly fail at everything in life then just confidently walks up and hits 3 balls out of the park like it’s nothing
According to Google, this episode aired on November 21st, 1996. The Yankees won the world series on October 26th, 1996 meaning they had to have recorded this episode only a couple days after winning the world series. Legendary.
Or more likely they recorded it before the world series, but recorded 2 slightly different scenes, one for if they won it, and one for if they lost it, and then only played the correct one and threw the other one away. Like when Rudy Giuliani was on Seinfeld. They recorded the episode before he'd been officially elected mayor of NYC. So they recorded scenes with both the two front runners for mayor, and then only used the one that had the winner in it, Giuliani, and threw the other one away. But it's a good thing the Yankees did win the world series as it makes this scene even funnier, with the 6 games comment, and just the general ridiculousness of some random bozo trying to teach the world champions how to play. The whole George working for the Yankees story arc seemed to be all about if one of those people who always whines and says they know way more than the actual managers and coaches and players, and they say "if they gave me any MLB team to coach I'd win the world series in 4 years with them, it's easy", was actually given that chance. Like george thinks he knows more than the actual coaching staff do, like every fan seems to think about themselves, but this way his ideas actually came to fruition, e.g. the episode where they switch to pure cotton uniforms. And it of course backfires and it turns out there's a good reason they don't use cotton anymore. That sort of thing Plus we got to see his dad yell at George Steinbrenner for trading away Jay Buhner who then ended up having multiple amazing seasons with the Mariners (including 3 consecutive years he hit at least 40 homers). Like, every fan wants to yell at their team's owners. There's practically zero popular sports team owners in the world, they're all hated for something. So that's seeing a normal fan get to yell at the people they always want to shout at but never normally get a chance. Really it was Larry David all along. He wanted an excuse to meet these players and yell at them and at Steinbrenner for trading away Buhner and so on. All of that stuff, cos he's a massive Yankees fan in real life. He went to the trouble of making the top sitcom in America just for an excuse to meet the team and yell at them lol. He still does it, in Curb Your Enthusiasm. He takes any chance he can get to get sports star cameos. He even created the redemption of bill buckner, absolving Buckner of the guilt for that missed ball that went through his legs and cost the red sox a world series. Even though Larry is an enormous Yankees fan he still felt bad for a red sox player, and so redeemed him by getting buckner to catch a baby thrown from the top floor of a tall building, as you do. And he had Shaq on for a whole episode where Larry accidentally breaks Shaq's leg. He's always finding one excuse or another to meet his sports heroes, and I'm all for it. I think any big sports fan would do that if they could.
@@duffman18 It is odd that Bernie Williams and Derek Jeter are hanging around the stadium taking batting practice after the season is over with. But hey its just a TV show.
I always find it funny watching this clip knowing that the current attributes valued in hitting is exit velocity and launch angle... Seinfeld was somehow way ahead of MLB.
Still amazing how, following the "6 games" comment, the Yankees would 3-peat from 1998-2000, and not a single one of those World Series went past Game 5. The first two were sweeps.
Lol I know I'm overthinking and it's a show but I've long had a headcanon that George had a small career in the minors prior to the series beginning, explaining his hitting talent, the fact that Tartabull is willing to consider batting advice from him, his competitiveness in The Understudy, and Veronica being able to get him the interview with NYY.
I think that's not true because early in the series when he's looking for jobs he suggests Sport commentator but Jerry says you need sports experience for that
This episode was also referenced in an episode of Curb, when after it's brought up that Jeter was in a Seinfeld episode, the stonemason started yelling down the phone to Larry that Derek Jeter was the most overrated player etc. Somehow it's made it out that Larry was the asshole in that situation which makes no sense. But I guess everyone hates the Yankees regardless of the context of the conversation you're having

It's not complicated
_"Six Games"_
Only because he stopped having sex.
He kills me everytime 😂
While having a conversation with two world series winners
Okay but the "6 games" comment was classic
Might be my all-time favourite line of the show.
Damn You George Costanza
They took that to heart considering they'd go 8-0 in the World Series in 98-99

“George joins Driveline” would be a storyline 😆😆
Baseball science goes back 60 years. Just took time for technology to catch up so it could be quantified
Bonds did the launch angle swing back in the day.
Still amazing how, following the "6 games" comment, the Yankees would 3-peat from 1998-2000, and not a single one of those World Series went past Game 5. The first two were sweeps.

That’d be cool! I still have yet to get to this episode, so I don’t know the context, but I’m wondering how George can be so good at hitting!
I think that's not true because early in the series when he's looking for jobs he suggests Sport commentator but Jerry says you need sports experience for that
Love the fact that Derek Jeter made an appearance in this show!
So did buck showalter
Bernie williams too
Danny Tartabull and Keith Hernandez also
Like many it was before he became a star

George without sex was so brilliant. I loved that episode
George Costanza pioneered Launch Angle and Exit Velocity
Came to see the meme face
Ghoul
I don't even watch baseball, yet the scene hasn't been stuck rent free in my head for years 😂
I'd love to see the bloopers of this scene

I didn’t even watch much of this show. But here I am, decades later back to see this clip. The “6 games” comment is all you need to know about George.
In 6 games 😂
i seriously hope
Dude seeing Jeter with hair is crazy. I almost didn’t recognize him
>implying
2021, watching Seinfeld
Show is great
2020.... Watching Seinfeld.
I've seen everyone multiple times. They are still hilarious
Are you the guy that put us in that Ramada in Milwaukee?
Damn You Costanza
i wish George was my golf swing coach
Coming back to this clip after the awful 2023 season. I think it's time the Yankees hire Costanza as their hitting coach.
Okay. I want the Costanza bobblehead the Yankees released today.
Are you the guy who put us in that Ramada in Milwaukee? 😂
Elaine said he was really strong. If you can knock a 400 footer with a casual swing, you must be strong, indeed.
Yankees players featured: Bernie Williams and Derek Jeter.
2022
George later gave Joey Gallo some tips. And now you know.
>6 games
So if George No Fap, he could be the new DH for the Yankees breaking records.
2021
I think you mean [current year].

That Ramada must have been pretty terrible
I've stayed at Ramada 3 times in my life. It's a shithole chain of hotels.
@@Kerorofan1990 milwaukee a hella shithole city too so dat like a two for one smh
hey, do you wanna talk about hotels or do you wanna win some ball games?
I seriously hope you guys don't do this
Who is the guy next to Derek Jeter
Bernie Williams, he used to be Yankees CF.
The best part about this is one of the batters is Derek Jeter.
What episode is this
The Abstinence
Seeing Jeter with hair is weird
What's so bad about a Ramada?
Shiggy
You Derek Jeter
If he really did that wouldn't he be signed to the team?
>6 games
I seriously hope you guys don't do this
