I was at that game. There are always lots of cubs fans at bush when we play them. Every blue hat I saw in that stadium was on their feet with the rest of us.
No less than the former Commissioner Bud Selig commented on St. Louis as the best baseball city in MLB! No other small-medium sized city or metro area can pull 3.4 million fans. The Yankees, Mets (NY) and Dodgers (L.A.) have 5 (L.A.) to 7 times (NY) as many people as the metro St. Louis area (2.7 mil.) has! Year-after-Year, only L.A. (Dodgers) has a higher attendance figure (3.9) than the St. Louis Cardinals, and not by all that much--only a half-million difference! The Yankees had only 3.48 mil. in 2018. The Cubs only had 3.2 million with a metro population 3 times as large!.
The way the game is supposed to be played.....95% of the players now are a human rain delay on the pitchers mound and batting box...it has made the game almost unwatchable.
I was already choked up when the 2011 series stuff was playing and then you had to go and sabotage me with the Go Crazy clip right after and suddenly I was crying at a baseball video 😂 Cardinals baseball is singularly special and I will die on that hill
I woke up the neighborhood when Freese hit that homer. I was in wilmington NC brave country and I went crazy on facebook because everyone kept messaging me and posting cardinals ain't going to win! Lol
There will never be another broadcaster that even comes close to Jack Buck! I swear I get too emotional when I watch this stuff. I will always be a die-hard Cardinal fan
Yeah, a headline in USA Today read, "Tigers in Three!" as a joke on how bad they thought the Cardinals were. Whoever wrote that article should've been made to eat that paper.
I'm a Cardinals fan but I seriously don't see how anyone could have thought differently at the time. The Tigers were dominant winning nearly 100 games that season while the Cards barely squeaked into the playoffs and the WS. On paper it looked like a total mismatch...but as Chris Berman used to say, that's why they play the game.
Looking back I realize Sosa and Mc Guire used performance enhancement and likely had a few more homers than they were credited, but it still takes a lot of talent to hit a home run, and it sure was fun to watch their race. I was at the ballpark for number 61. When Mark Mc Guire and later Albery Pujhols batted the stadium lit up with flash cameras at their every swing. I do think the Jack Clark home run also needed to be in the video. I had the car radio on for his homer and the Ozzie homer with all the cars around me honking like crazy.
Kenneth Pickle it was said during one of last year's games that Julian Javier went to a bar and grill one day in Florida and it was owned by that umpire unbeknownst to Javier. They had the baseball cap hanging on the wall
I witnessed many of these great feats by some of my favorite Cardinal players. Makes me proud to say I was born in the great city of St. Louis. Go Cardinals!!!!!
I really wished McGuire didn't retire. He had a shot at beating out Aaron and Bonds for the most HRs.... and I don't care that he took steroids because the players still have to swing the bat and connect... and still need to see the ball to just connect. If steroids are such a cheat, why don't all the steroids users in baseball have over 500 HRs in their career? The HR race between McGuire and Sosa in 1998 was the most exciting thing I've ever seen in sports and it lasted the entire season... Thank you Mark and Sammy for that incredible show. Mark McGuire quit to early in his career.... and Jose Canseco is a low-life backstabber.
Greatest game in WS history (Oct. 27, 2011), for my money! Freeze was The Man, at least for the post-season in '11. MVP, and a hometown kid from Lafayette HS. He'll never approach what he did in the '11 post-season, when he was Superman! The unheralded Triple he hit in tying the game from 2 runs down (7-9) was critical in keeping the Cardinals alive, so he could then hit that centerfield HR to win it, 10-9, in the 11th! www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN201110270.shtml
If you include Ozzie in 1985 NLCS than Edmonds in 2004 has to be there too. Same criteria. Great video. Missing a few. Tatis hitting 2 GS in 1 inning 4/23/99, Boyer's 1964 WS GS off Downing, Yadi HR in Game 7 of 06 NLCS, Chris Carpenter's Game 5 shutout of the Phillies in 11 NLDS
The Cards are one of the greatest teams in the history of MLB, the greatest in the NL They have so many great plays to choose from. The Cards didn't win the World Series that year, they did end up winning the LCS in 2004, but the Yankees Red Sox ALCS clearly overshadowed it, that's why I didn't include it. Great play though obviously. Another reason is sometimes it matters who does it and the fact that it was Ozzie matters, and he did it without ever having hit a home run from the lest side of the plate, 3,009 at bats.
@@kevinpayton2664 In retrospect that is one play that I would have also like to have included in the video. I remember he struck out the previous at bat and he told his teammates give me one more chance cause "I will "hit the long fly" off him next time.
I was working and had to listen to the game on the radio. They should have just let me have it off because they paid me to listen to a game and you would have had to kill me to turn off that radio in 2011.
As a lifelong Cardinals fan I loved this video. . .BUT, as always seems to be the case, one of the most important moments in Cardinals WS history was not included. Ken Boyer's Grand Slam in Game 4 of the '64 WS at Yankee Stadium should definitely be part of this collection. That grand slam was the turning point of that series. As great as Gibson was, as important as McCarver's Game 5 HR was, the Cardinals would NOT have won that series without Boyer's grand slam. It evened the series at 2 games each. So they went into Game 5 even instead of down 3 games to 1 with another game left at New York. Even with McCarver's HR in Game 5, if they had lost Game 4 they would have returned to St. Louis trailing 3 games to 2. The Yanks had a big day and won Game 6, which would have won the Series for them right there. So instead of popping up, striking out, or hitting into a double-play, Ken stepped into the box at baseball's grandest stage, Yankee Stadium, and parked one into the left field stands. It truly was the turning point of that series. The Cardinal pitchers deserve credit for blanking the Yanks the rest of the way in that game, but Boyer's grand slam is what made that victory possible. And without the win in Game 4, there wouldn't have been a Game 7 for Gibby to shine in. By the way, Kenny hit a HR in Game 7 as well to help seal the Yankees fate.
@@onrywaymore104 Actually, Bob Gibson won the World Series MVP that year, but Ken Boyer was named the 1964 National League MVP. Both men truly deserved each of those MVP awards.
Brain fart....being from Omaha originally I knew that....Gibbie probably would have had a trifecta of WS MVP's and won it again if Curt Flood did not misplay that fly ball in the 68 World Series against the Tigers
@@onrywaymore104 well I don't know but I wish they would have replayed that game of the week night where he came out and walked three guys just so he can strike out three big hitters that was awesome. It was in a 77 June game of the week against the Cincinnati Reds I think

Doug, you wrote your comment a month ago. As a man who lives in Chicago you're lucky if your alive today. As far as the Cubs go, Even a blind hog can find an Acorn, 😢
@@onrywaymore104 Gibby had only 102 HBP. in 3,884 IP Compare him to Don Drysdale, who had (many more) 154 HBP in only 3,432 IP. Gibby had only 13 balks, to Drysdale's 10.
@@freeguy77 They were both great intimidating pitchers that is for sure, but I'll take Gibson all day over Drysdale if I'm starting a team. Gibson was voted the most intimidating pitcher in MLB history by ESPN or MLB network can't remember which.
@@onrywaymore104 I knew that on Gibby named the Most Intimidating Pitcher in MLB history. Any wonder that he was the only player inducted in 1981? He is now 83, same age as Sandy Koufax. Gibson born on Nov. 9, Koufax on Dec. 30, both in 1935. Juan Marichal and Tom Seaver were the only other contemporaries of Gibson that could be logically compared to him as far as the set of great pitchers in his era. Although Seaver started in '67, when Gibson was at his peak for the WS in '67, through '68 and even though he lost Game 7 in '68 (winning Games 1 and 4), that WS '67-WS '68 had to be one of the greatest years ever seen in MLB history! Gibson came within an eyelash of being the only pitcher to win 3 games in WS two times (and in consecutive years), and then his 1.12 ERA (only 22-9 W-L) best in the modern era (get the pun--era and ERA!)
You mean that no hack talent who reacted like he was Home Run Baker flipping the bat and then the ball clears the wall by about 2mm. Great moment actually, would make it on most teams highlights, but you're talking about the Cards here.
But what made it great was the fact that it was his only homer. Nobody saw that coming. And yes, the bat flip made it great BECAUSE it was a wall scraper. Just my opinion I guess. It'll always be a favorite of mine. I didn't mean any disrespect towards your video. Loved it, as a matter of fact. Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.
None taken, thank you for the kind words. You're right on all accounts, why it was so memorable, just one of those moments you can't believe what you just saw. It's actually the only reason I remember him. Living in Minnesota like I do that was a heartbreaker for most Twins fans here.
The Cards are the greatest ever! The Yankees don't count. They're just a money team. I've seen the Cards win four Series. Hope to see number five before I die. Let's go Cards! 🥎🥎🥎🇺🇸
@@onrywaymore104 Buck and Cary are undoubtedly no brainers ... Even before them, and even NOW our announcers are heads above the others day in and day out.... SO ARE OUR FANS... My favorite piece of Cardinal memorabilia is my ticket stub from 1968. ROW 1. SEAT 1.
The Cards are the only team their all time greatest could compete with the Yankees all time greatest. That's why they're my favorite team. Cause f the Yankees

That was awesome that the cubs(the cardinals RIVAL) were congratulating McGwire as he hit his 62nd. That’s what I love about baseball
I always enjoy watching good sportsmanship
that was a great moment in baseball
I was at that game. There are always lots of cubs fans at bush when we play them. Every blue hat I saw in that stadium was on their feet with the rest of us.
Me, too! What I DON'T love about Baseball is that it's the ONLY Major Professional League withOUT a Salary Cap.
@@CrowT And, Likewise, lots of RED when Cardinals play at Wrigley!
Awesome to see Bob Gibson highlights. What an athlete! He would have won game 7 in 68 too if Flood doesn’t misjudge fly ball
"If Flood had not misjudged the ball..."
I was a senior in HS when the Cards won in 2006. So exciting to watch! Wainwright's last pitch sealed the deal.
This made my year. I love my Cardinals.
Thank you my friend, Cards are definitely a blue blood franchise; greatest franchise in the NL in my lifetime for sure.
cardinals.... We are the best
cards are unbelievably amazing. I love them so much
cards1985 me too
I love my Cards and Blues a ton also
The 2011 team was unbelievable. 9 1/2 games out of Wild Card in last week of August. Down to their final strikes in the World Series twice.
Incredible story...says a lot about a teams character to be able to pull all that off....a mentally weak team could never do it.
10.5 out on August 27.
That first game was so legendary. I’m so pissed that we got rid of David freeze. Such a good guy and player
I agree and he has done nothing since he left. I do miss him and Albert Pujols!
My great grand uncle, Jimmy Brown, played for the cardinals in the 1940s
Cardinal fans are some of the best in baseball... And so many great players and history... Thank you for the memories!

No greater pitcher in my opinion.

I loved listening to Jack Buck and Mike Shannon.
NOPE
Ken Boyer's grand slam in the 1964 Series to win the game 4-3, and Tatis's 2 grand slams in the same inning off the same LA pitcher.

You have the right attitude my friend
11 World Series, Founded in 1889, Lots of Plays
The Cards certainly have had a ton of historic plays in their storied history.
1882 in professional baseball, 1892 in the NL.
So many great plays, though I don't like watching McGwire or hearing Joe Buck.
stl cardinals i feel lucky got me a homerun$
very nice my friend
At 6:55 it looks like one of the umpires swiped one of the Cardinals cap. Actually he had a number of caps in his hand.
Hell Froze Over, on Texas
I don't care who won world series we are still the best we won more than Cubs so they aren't better than us
no fan in their right mind would compare the stupid Cubs with the Cards, let tem' have their 1 World Series every 100 years.

The Cards didn't win the World Series that year, they did end up winning the LCS in 2004, but the Yankees Red Sox ALCS clearly overshadowed it, that's why I didn't include it. Great play though obviously.
Albert Pujols moonshot in the 2005 NLCS?
Jim Edmonds walk-off home run in 2004 NLCS Game 6?
As a man who lives in Chicago... It’s hard to like this team, but at least I have the best team in the NL
Well the Cubs are tied with the Cards for 1st right now, but the Dodgers have the best record in the NL currently.
Doug, you wrote your comment a month ago.
As a man who lives in Chicago you're lucky if your alive today. As far as the Cubs go, Even a blind hog can find an Acorn, 😢
7:20 yeah that was probably a balk. Bob Gibson balked a lot, especially by quick pitching
Oh no, my man Gibby never balked. Never threw at anybody either; he would just give em a little chin music.
@@onrywaymore104 Gibby had only 102 HBP. in 3,884 IP Compare him to Don Drysdale, who had (many more) 154 HBP in only 3,432 IP. Gibby had only 13 balks, to Drysdale's 10.
@@freeguy77 They were both great intimidating pitchers that is for sure, but I'll take Gibson all day over Drysdale if I'm starting a team. Gibson was voted the most intimidating pitcher in MLB history by ESPN or MLB network can't remember which.
@@onrywaymore104 I knew that on Gibby named the Most Intimidating Pitcher in MLB history. Any wonder that he was the only player inducted in 1981? He is now 83, same age as Sandy Koufax. Gibson born on Nov. 9, Koufax on Dec. 30, both in 1935. Juan Marichal and Tom Seaver were the only other contemporaries of Gibson that could be logically compared to him as far as the set of great pitchers in his era. Although Seaver started in '67, when Gibson was at his peak for the WS in '67, through '68 and even though he lost Game 7 in '68 (winning Games 1 and 4), that WS '67-WS '68 had to be one of the greatest years ever seen in MLB history! Gibson came within an eyelash of being the only pitcher to win 3 games in WS two times (and in consecutive years), and then his 1.12 ERA (only 22-9 W-L) best in the modern era (get the pun--era and ERA!)
AY....

Where's the video of Tom Lawless hitting his homer against the Twins?
You mean that no hack talent who reacted like he was Home Run Baker flipping the bat and then the ball clears the wall by about 2mm. Great moment actually, would make it on most teams highlights, but you're talking about the Cards here.
But what made it great was the fact that it was his only homer. Nobody saw that coming. And yes, the bat flip made it great BECAUSE it was a wall scraper. Just my opinion I guess. It'll always be a favorite of mine. I didn't mean any disrespect towards your video. Loved it, as a matter of fact. Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.
None taken, thank you for the kind words. You're right on all accounts, why it was so memorable, just one of those moments you can't believe what you just saw. It's actually the only reason I remember him. Living in Minnesota like I do that was a heartbreaker for most Twins fans here.
McGuire after Musial? sacrilege
Screw those umpires who wanted the hats/gloves for souvenirs w/o asking!!!
damn dirty rotten umpires!
Did Julian Javier ever get his cap back from the ump? I think the ump was Jocko Conlan in that stirring '67 7th game, winning 7-2 in Boston.
In hindsight, the McGwire 62nd. and 70th. home runs probably shouldn’t be on the list.
I don’t care which best year Cards won. Cards won 11 World Series. That’s it.
The Cards are the greatest ever! The Yankees don't count. They're just a money team. I've seen the Cards win four Series. Hope to see number five before I die. Let's go Cards! 🥎🥎🥎🇺🇸
6:56 did the umpire steal the dude's hat and run away? lol
I know right; you can't make it up, hilarious!
that was weird
joe buck excited
good call by the younger Buck
What about the gashouse gang?
St. Louis Fans..... Take notice of how the other Broadcasters Pail in comparison to OUR BROASCASTERS !!!!!!!!!
To have Harry Carey and Jack Buck...I don't know how any team will ever top that
@@onrywaymore104
Buck and Cary are undoubtedly no brainers ... Even before them, and even NOW our announcers are heads above the others day in and day out.... SO ARE OUR FANS...
My favorite piece of Cardinal memorabilia is my ticket stub from 1968. ROW 1. SEAT 1.
Jack Buck was the best ever.
He certainly was
Tbe
Where is Freeze today….one hit wonder….
Guess the juicer had to be on there.
It was the 90s. Everyone juiced.
Yeah they did, hated it, but it is part of history and hard not to include
The Cards are the only team their all time greatest could compete with the Yankees all time greatest. That's why they're my favorite team. Cause f the Yankees
Maybe the Dodgers and Giants too but for sure the Cards all-time team could compete with any all-time team.
compete with is an odd way to word fricking demolish
Not nice to leave out Lance Berkman who also came through when one strike away.
Not nice to not appreciate someone who's not even a Cards fan make a video on his free time so Cards fans can enjoy some good memories and instead you whine
@@onrywaymore104 drag him
Whoever guesses who st.louis beat in the 2006 wins
I meant world series 2006😂
The good old Detroit Tigers
Payback from 1968.
I did! I picked the Cards in 6. I was wrong, they did it in 5!
6 HATERS
Haters gonna hate
They're probably cubs fans. BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
No Stan Musial was the greatest cardnail ever no cub will ever surpass him
I think most Cards fans would agree with you...Stan The Man was the greatest Cardinal in history.....I'd put Bob Gibson a very very close 2nd.
@@onrywaymore104 agree
If they called Ernie Banks Mr. Cub, then Stan the Man was Mr. Cardinal! Number 4 in hits all-time with 3,630.
All the records are great except McGuire's steroid boy. All records should be erased. He will never, ever make the hall of fame.
McGwire is a blot on Cardinals history.
Cheater McGwire, one of the most disgraceful episodes in baseball history
yep, Sosa, Bonds, Brady Anderson and the whole bunch of them
McGwire was an embarrassment for Cardinal fans.
