I listen to these radio shows because they remind me of my dad. He has passed away, but in my mind I can still see him sitting on our screened-in back porch listening to his RCA Victor transistor radio.
2:19:43 "We hope it's not goodbye, we hope it's just a brief so long. And then another Major League team will be here in the Nation's capital; hopefully a team that someday can give the fans that long awaited pennant - that they have so patiently waited for." 48 years later, the Washington Nationals not only brought a pennant, but brought a World Series championship! Congrats Nats and their fan base in DC, Virginia, etc
Even the radio announcers turned on Bob Short who was listening via WATS line from his home In Minnesota and tried to get them fired
I was there. Sad night. Glad Hondo was around to see the Nats bring the World Series championship to D.C.
The nats didnt even exist is the 1970s they were the expos
I was there too. Hard to believe it was 50 years ago tonight. I was standing on top of the Senator's dugout when Howard hit his home run. He came back to the dugout with cheering fans and threw his cap (or cap liner) into the stands. After he entered the dugout, I looked down and saw his arm moving down with his glove in his hand. I realized he was about to throw it into the stands. It made it about three feet above the dugout roof when I and the kid next to me got our hands on it but I ended up with it. I ended up being interviewed by Maury Povich (a local guy at that time) and he put me on TV on a special he did on the Senators leaving.
What a night!
@@johncofer6458 I was at the game as well. I must’ve been sitting close to you. I was 14 years old at the time. When Frank threw his cap into the stands, it landed in my Dad’s lap. In all the commotion, my Dad didn’t see where the hat came from and who it belonged to. A kid ran up the aisle, and my Dad thought it belonged to the kid, so he handed it over to him. I couldn’t believe what had just happened! A few moments later, the kid (probably 7-8 years old), ran back up and thanked my Dad for (unwittingly) giving Frank’s hat to him. My Dad then realized where the hat came from.
For many years after, it was always hanging over my poor Dad’s head - that he could’ve had a little piece of history. I always downplayed the event, so that he wouldn’t feel so bad about it. My Dad even wrote Frank a letter and sent it in care of the Senators explaining the situation, hoping Frank might send an autograph or something, but he never responded. So that’s my story of this special night!
@1957Musicman If you want Howard to respond, do what I did: use a business envelope and type your letter, and type the address, addressed to "Representative of Frank Howard" since his children/grandchildren look at his mail and decide what Howard does and doesn't see. I did this and he himself called me on the phone. Try this out and get back to me-I hope it works for you.
But the Nationals won the World Series on the road in Houston, the fans could have stormed the field if they won it at home like they did on this night
The announcers are Ron Menchine and Tony Roberts. I thought I'd pass that along, but I've never heard of them. I was expecting to hear the NY radio network's broadcast (Phil Rizzuto, Frank Messer, Bill White), but probably best to hear the DC announcers on this game.
Tony Roberts was most noted for being the national radio play-by-play voice of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football games on the Mutual Broadcasting System/Westwood One from 1980 to 2005. www.nwitimes.com/sports/roberts-out-as-radio-voice-of-notre-dame-football/article_fc91dd94-570a-5500-a41f-dc57917e051e.html
More about Ron Menchine: www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/25/AR2010092503072.html.
I'm glad. There's enough Yankee broadcasts out there, good to hear some different announcers from the past.
It is a shame this game wasn't televised either here in New York or in Washington.
I was at that game 50 years ago. Very raucous crowd that was very upset with Bob Short. Great ovation for Frank Howard after his home run. I was a high school kid and was one of the crazies that stormed the field. I snatched a rain grate from the warning track.
One of the classics. :) I love the euphimisms the announcer uses through the game to describe the fans. They were clearly mostly drunk and rowdy, but he kept saying that they were "energetic" and the like. Yeah
cottagechskitty good stuff and I love the commercials
If you want to good read about the last days of the second Washington Senators under Bob Short's nickel and dime ownership read "Kiss It Goodbye" by Shelby Whitfield. You can get a copy in good-Very Good condition on Amazon for around $7-12 without the cover. Shelby was let go the year before and then replaced by Tony Roberts.
@@rockvilleraven Bob Short was a Son of A Bitch not like those good MLB owners. Because the Washington Senators were the fucked up punching bags under the shitty Bob Short dictatorship
Jonathan Guevarra wish you were better informed...Short traded away all his best players the last two years. He wanted out and that facilitated the result by driving away fans. In 1969, they actually had a winning team and many up and coming stars under Ted Williams. Attendance was way up. Ticket prices were the highest in baseball also. Box seats in Baltimore ( a championship team) was 3.25...un DC $6.50.
I thought I'd save this to listen to on September 30 2021 50 years ago
I was at this game, first row behind Senators dugout. I Ran on the field with my buddies in the top of the ninth with 2 out, causing the forfeit. I have the newspaper with my picture standing on the dugout behind Frank Howard after he hit a home run.
was that the goal of the crowd? Was it meant as a last fuck you to the owner or a protest? Otherwise I would think it would just make the most sense to storm the field after the last out so the Sens could record the win on the way out.
I gave a copy of my cassettes of this game to Ron Menchine. Ron was a super nice guy. Ron never had any audio of this game. I also sent CDs to Mrs. Linbald in Texas, as Paul and Kathy were high school sweethearts. I wanted her kids hear how well their Dad pitched in this game. The man doing the commercials for Jack Ammatucci Chevrolet is Johnny Holliday. He hosted the very last Beatles Concert ever, in SF in 1966. I gave him CDs of this too.
Shades of disco demolition night in Chicago (1979)
10 cent beer night as well
@@goldeneveRusty Torres was involved in all 3 of these
Rusty Torres played in the Senators last game , 10 cent beer night and Disco Demolition night
That's a resume of incidental baseball disaster to merely be a player in!
That's one for the books I did not know that one
@2:43:00 for the second out in the top of the ninth and aftermath
Will you find the 710 KMPC Los Angeles radio broadcast of the Twins and Angels game from September 30, 1973 ? This was the game that Nolan Ryan recorded his 383rd strikeout of the season and broke the Sandy Koufax record of 382. The game announcers for the Angels were Dick Enberg and Dave Neihaus. Thank you...
Speaking of Nolan Ryan vs Twins, no hitter on September 28, 1974
Short Still Stinks I mailed Mrs. Lindbald a copy of my CD of this, as I broke it down into tracks.
She was very thankful, as I learned a lot about Paul and Kathy Lindbald in reading "Southern League".
Yup. Those "Short Stinks!" banners were dirty
@@jonathan_tong93 There were some F----- Short signs that didn't last long
Bob Short passed away in 1982 does he still stink? you're probably going to say yes😂
yes@@michaelleroy9281
A we didn't start the fire moment in time...love it!!
i was at this game. quite an experience for a young kid (who was very sad that his team leaving for Texas for reasons he could not fully understand…). the crowd was crazy. tremendous hatred for owner Bob Short who was taking the team away from DC. Hung in effigy in the outfield. People running on the field. Shaking hands with players. Tearing up copies of Ted Williams’ My Turn at Bat to make confetti to throw on the field. Think Senators had leftover copies of the book from a giveaway at a game earlier in the season. Paper piled up against the outfield fences. And a forfeit after the Senators took the lead in the eighth… impossible ultimately to control the deluge of people jumping out of the stands as the game went on…
I'm glad the Nationals brought a World Series title to DC. When the Senators left town I was a devastated kid who begrudgingly became an Orioles fan. Still am and will be an O's fan until I die.
Not a bad consolation. From 66-83 O's were the best team in baseball.
@@darwinblinks And from 1961-71 the Orioles usually beat the hell out of the Senators
@@darwinblinks only thing is he missed out on the stretch from 66-71 where they won 2 world series and made it to 2 others. He only got to see their 83 title as a fan I would imagine.
I’m so glad to have found this recording. I taped it on a cassette while sitting at my desk supposedly doing homework as an 8th grader. Sadly, I lost the tape somewhere along the way, which has gnawed at me ever since.
I still remembered Hondo’s homer as it was called, but the line that really stuck with me was after he popped out to Munson in his final at bat. “But the big guy is gonna get a hand. This is his night, and he can do no wrong.” Exactly as I remembered it over 50 years ago.
Nothing personal, Russ, but I never understood guys like you. Washington fans HATED the Orioles, the Colts, and their fans because they were so good and seemed so arrogant about it. (The Bullets were a different story because they were owned by Abe Pollin from DC and were treated as our home team, as well. We knew they would eventually come to Washington.) Many of my friends also became Orioles fans the next year, but I couldn’t bear the thought. Instead, it was 34 years in the wilderness without a team. That made the 2019 World Series that much sweeter!
Just listen to the fans @2:17:40....in the top of the eighth...."WE WANT SHORT!!!....WE WANT SHORT!!...."...it's a good thing Bob Short didn't show up at RFK stadium that night...he may never have gotten out alive..."
Funny how Short insisted the city didn't have the team's back yet he knew damn well if he were at RFK that night, he would have been tarred and feathered.
@@dcbandnerd of course no show si Robert Earl Short, ang punyetang owner ng Texas Rangers
2:19:43 "We hope it's not goodbye, we hope it's just a brief so long. And then another Major League team will be here in the Nation's capital; hopefully a team that someday can give the fans that long awaited pennant - that they have so patiently waited for." Less than 34 years later they got the Nationals, however they are still waiting for that pennant. Even if they lose Bryce Harper, hopefully they can still be good enough to finally win a pennant.
2:19:43 Those were the last words for the final MLB game in DC. The Washington Nationals are the only 2 MLB teams that never made to the World Series
@@jonathan_tong93 That has changed, they are awaiting the winner of Houston-Yankees
Well, they didn't just win a pennant.
2021 Update they won the World Series in 2019 2 years later they dismantled the team ( very Marlins like)
That long awaited World 🏆 Championship for Washington didn't come until 2019
@49:02....."Bullpen catcher George Sucze just pulled down a sign from the upper deck"....that sign caused a huge roar from the crowd at the beginning of the third inning.....the words on the sign.....SHORT STINKS; referring to Senators owner, Bob Short, who was moving the team to Arlington after the conclusion of this game....
@49:02 maraming tagahanga ng Washington Senators ang nagalit dahil sa noo'y nalalapit na lipat sa Arlington sa kadahilanan na ang "SHORT STINKS!" banners ay nakalagay pa naman sa RFK Stadium ng mga gagong MLB fans at sa huling bahagi, ang mga tarantadong Senators fans ang nagnakaw ng mga bola!
George Susce was my grandfather and I was at the game. He was the Bullpen coach. When Frank Howard hit the home run, the fans went crazy. I will never forget that game.
God bless, Michael
Great job Mark!
I was 24 days old when this happened..
Weird I was 20 days old when this happened
I was negative 14 years old.
I was -28 years old but my mom and dad were 11 years old
do you have this: Ten Cent Beer Night was a promotion held by Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians during a game against the Texas Rangers at Cleveland Stadium on Tuesday, June 4, 1974.
Its all over TH-cam, same with Disco Demoltion night. Bob Short ruined a lot of DC area kids childhoods.

My dad attended this game at the age of 23. At 23 years old I attended the second Nationals game in 2005 with my dad. We both got to enjoy the World Series championship last year and I feel so blessed we both got to see it happen - that seemed impossible for both of us at one point.
Yes, you got your World Championship team. My former Montreal Expos.
@@FlintyCobblestone That's another thing the Expos leaving Montreal, another sad story
The Texas Rangers are cursed forever. It’s probly weird that I love this team and for whatever reason my grandpa did too. He died before I was born but was elated when they moved to Arlington, TX, where my family lives.
What's this about the Rangers being cursed, there's no such thing as a curse unless it's made up by dumb ass fans or the media, the Rangers won the World 🌎 Series in 2023
Right around 1:24:00, Bottom 5, is one of the best called innings in baseball ever.
Probably the only night my father didn't want to go to the ball park. Thankfully, I was not alive to see this happen.
How stupid that the fans couldn't wait for one more out what a terrible ending
~1:39:00 for Howard's 6th inning AB. 1:40:20 for Howard's home run. The last in the history of the Washington Senators.
Too bad the fans could not control themselves for just 2 more outs and the Senators could have won this game for the fans there. But you did get a new DC team and got you another WS so in my baseball life I have lived to see Chicago teams win a WS just need to see the Indians (YES THE CLEVELAND INDIANS SHUT UP YOU WOKE SPORTS IDIOTS) win a WS and my baseball world is complete (I don't worry about the M's getting a WS in my lifetime
Speaking of woke fans the other team in DC the Washington Redskins HTTR I said it
Warming up in the Senators bullpen....DENNY McLAIN!!!
"Denny McLain, Denny McLain, there hasn't been many like Denny McLain".
10 and 22 he went from Cy Young to Sayonara
It was worth the LONG wait........The Expos would become the Washington Nationals, and since then, DC area enthusiasts have been rewarded with above .500 baseball. ⚾
I hope Montreal gets their team back soon.
@@rockvilleraven Not until they get a new ballpark no way they'll play in Olympic Stadium
I came here to say: it's over! Finally over.
I'm glad Washington finally won a world series again last year. I know the feeling. The NFL and owner Stan Kroenke took away the Rams from St. Louis despite an excellent new stadium plan in STL. Kroenke could make more money in L.A. than STL and you need an owner who wants to be in your city. STL Cards fan.
The Rams should have stayed in LA in the first place
@@michaelleroy9281 The football Cardinals moved in 1988 only because the separate governments of St. Louis County and St. Louis city fought over the location of a new football stadium resulting in no stadium. Now that owner Bidwell wanted to stay in St. Louis since attendance was not an issue with St. Louis there as well, and he thought Phoenix would right away build him a stadium but it took 18 years so they played at Arizona State until they finally helped funding a new stadium for him. Right now we are having fun with the XFL Battle Hawks and I hope this weekend they sell out the Dome in a game with Seattle. There is a big Battle Hawks craze here right now. Only an indeminification agreemnnt signed by Kroenke making owners falsely believe he would protect them from St. Louis lawsuits allowed the move. A sham exposed during the St. Louis lawsuit.
They’d have to wait until the early 2000s to get another team. And that team would eventually win the World Series.
2:40:00 After trailing 5 to 1 early, the Nationals score 6 unanswered runs, and were leading 7 to 5 going into the 9th. With two out and one out away from winning their last game, the fans stormed the field,, knowing that their cheap owner was moving the team.
Ahas talaga yung Bob Short na yan!
They were the Senators, never ever the Nationals. The nickname the 'nats' had nothing to do with the name Nationals.
@@gregtaylor113 yes 👍🙏☝ now there my beloved Texas Rangers
Horace Clarke would have been the batter after Bobby Murcer grounded out in the 9th.
How about that. Final national anthem was the recording of Robert Merrill.
Oh damn it was 1 out to go oh well they came back as the NATS and won the WS
2:48:17 Burt Hawkins, the Senators PR director, announced the forfeit on the press-box P.A. system.
About the 2:44:00 mark is when the carnage begins
@2:44:00 nagsimula ang kaguluhan sa RFK Stadium nang mag-ala Mediola Massacre ang huling Senators game dahil ayaw na sanang ilipat ng hayop na Bob Short ang Gagong MLB Team sa Texas!
Wow!
GEEEZ!!! You silly fans could not hold it together for one more out oh well serves you right to lose on a forfeit. I wonder if any ever were around to see the Nats come back what? in 2005
After 34 years without a team in Washington I doubt everyone was around in 2005
Ironically, the fans running out on the field in the top of the ninth with two out and the Senators LEADING 7-5 is exactly what Short had stated earlier in the season.....that the fans didn't care about the team....they could have waited until the final out by Horace Clarke to go berserk....smh
The Senators were going to Arlington, because Bob Short did not make an agenda
Ito kasi ang rason ng paglipat bahay ng Washington Senators sa Arlington sa kamay ng punyetang Bob Short Na yan
Go Senators!!!!!
They did , to Arlington TX
Even as a Texas Rangers fan, in retrospect I'm sure many would agree that Bob Short was a TERRIBLE owner who only cared about lining his pockets. In 1973, the Rangers would draft an 18-year-old named David Clyde fresh out of high school with their top pick -- and Bob Short thought of this kid as the next big thing. Clyde was never given the proper time to develop through the minors, and he ended up becoming a bust.
Bob Short himself gave up he sold the team in 1974
lets say " au revoir".
The owner, Short, ruined the Senators by trading a bunch of players for Denny McClain who's arm was gone. My Grandfather was the Bullpen Coach and knew the background of the worst trade in Baseball History.
He sent the left side of their infield to the Tigers Eddie Brinkman and Aurielio Rodriguez and Joe Coleman
48 YEARS LATER DA WASHINGTON BRATIONALS ARE IN DA WORLDSERIES LOL
U salty about the astros losing?
Thumbs down because of the unruly fans!
All 14460 of them 50 years ago already
2:48:01 Norm Hammer was the scoreboard operator.
2:36:06 Miscall of the go-ahead RBI.
1:40:19 Frank Howard HR.
