The play that Eric Davis makes around the 2:12:00, mark is one of the greatest outfield assists in baseball history. I remember when Davis was doing things like that all the time. Injuries hampered his career but he was so fun to watch as a baseball fan. Players like Eric Davis, and plays like the assist he made in this game are a couple of the things that make baseball the greatest sport of them all. Eric Davis could play any sport, but you take a football or basketball player and put them on the diamond and they wouldn't have a prayer.
After going to another team once finished the 1992 season Doug Drabek never more was the same pitcher. His best moments ocurred when he played with the Pirates. His amazing Cy Young award in 1990 was pitching with Pittsburgh.
And good to see old Daryl during the pregame. He and Bo we're my favorite non Reds back in thoae day. Almost got to see him play at Shea after he had joined the Dodgers. Summer 1991 we were visiting family in CT and the Dodgers were playing the Mets for the first time in New York since Strawberry and joined the Dodgers. It was spur of the moment. I told my parents about the game the day of or maybe day before and uncle called for tickets but it was sold out
Yeah that was an amazing play. That doesn't happen if Eric Davis doesn't hustle over and back up Hatcher. Injuries dampened Davis' career but, man, he was fun to watch for those seasons in the late 80s and early 90s in Cincinnati. Well, I guess late 80s and then 1990, mainly. Eric Davis is the kind of star that comes along once every 25 years or so. Maybe even less often than that. He did things in those few years that were incredible.
(23:58) ... How can Jay Bell be 4-for-11 in the series with four singles AND a double? If so, he's the first MLB hitter to notch a single AND a double in the same at-bat!!
The answer to this lose: the out in homeplate to Sid Bream and the bad baserunning of Bonilla trying to turn his double into tripple. That's why Pittsburgh lost that important game.
On the Bream play at the play, it came off a single by Jose Lind, the number 8 hitter. With 2 outs in the early innings, I think you have to send Bream there, despite is below average speed.
What year did they begin taking every pitch that went into the dirt out of play? Here if a pitch went into the dirt, I saw the catcher wipe it off on his pant leg and throw it back to the pitcher.
I can't say the exact year, but it happened in the early 2000s I believe. MLB starting mixing diamond dry in with the infield dirt/clay. They did this so that the games could continue with significantly more rain than they had been able to do before as diamond dry is quite effective. The downside is, it's incredibly abrasive, so when the ball hits the dirt it invariably gets scuffed up and has to be taken out of play.
Dutch Rennert! He was a showman for sure. A couple of years after this NL president Bill White forced him to retire... turns out he had lost the sight in one eye completely (not sure when, he may have been fine in this series).
13:23 "Well when your Polish & live in Pittsburgh you can do anything you want with the words." Lol Jack Buck after Bobby Vinton screwed up the Star Spangled Banner.
Had to listen to the snobbish, privileged wives of the Pirates complain about the seats. Then brag about Pittsburgh going back and beating Cincinnati which clearly didn't happen. Still I understand considering the way the Pirates organization treats the Reds' wives well. Marge Schott was just cheap.
Dutch Rennert is the home plate umpire. Harry Caray used to say that his exaggerated strike call looked like he was laying an egg. 34:26 LOL And Rennert spelled backwards is... Trenner. LOL
Vinton, Buck Apologize for Wayward Words : Baseball: Singer flubbed national anthem and sportscaster's remarks angered Polish community. articles.latimes.com/1990-10-11/sports/sp-3218_1_national-anthem October 11, 1990|From Associated Press PITTSBURGH - Bobby Vinton has apologized for flubbing "The Star-Spangled Banner" and CBS sportscaster Jack Buck also said he was sorry his on-air comments after the anthem angered Pittsburgh's Polish community. Buck said he didn't mean to offend anyone or to criticize Vinton. "Well, when you're Polish and live in Pittsburgh, you can do anything you want with the words," Buck said after Vinton's less-than-perfect singing at Tuesday's National League playoff between the Pirates and Cincinnati Reds. Buck's reference to Pittsburgh and Vinton's heritage rankled Lawrence R. Wujcikowski, president of the Polish Falcons of America, a national group based in Pittsburgh. "If he wanted to comment on Mr. Vinton's singing, then he should have done that," Wujcikowski said. "But he could have left being Polish and living in Pittsburgh out of it. Buck told radio station KDKA: "On the heels of the national anthem, I tried to pay a compliment to Bobby Vinton and it didn't come out right. "I was saying that if he messed it up, that's OK because everybody loves him. And he did mess it up, didn't he?" Vinton, who is from nearby Canonsburg, tripped several times over the words to the national anthem, and his cadence wandered from that of the Three Rivers Stadium organist. He said in a written statement Wednesday that he as an individual was at fault, not Poles as a group. According to Vinton, he was suffering from the flu at the time. "I messed up," Vinton's statement said. www.upi.com/Archives/1990/11/10/Hey-Bobby-Vinton-that-was-a-terrific-publicity-idea/4316658213200/
I miss old school baseball. Either you win the division or you don't go to the playoffs. I don't need 16 fucking playoff games on 16 different channels a night. That's too much baseball. The MLB acts like everyone likes these extra Wildcard games and interleague games. It's those baseball liberals who wanted these extra divisions. Most people want a true pennant race.
Larry Swentzel because they all had to support major league baseball and NFL teams riverfront(reds/Bengals),three rivers(pirates/Steelers), veterans stadium (Phillies/eagles),astrodome(Astros/oilers),Oakland coliseum(A's/raiders),jack Murphy (padres/chargers) there might have been more but I can't remember.(I just remembered the kingdome mariners/seahawks).
Two years later, Sid Bream would again try to score from second on a two-out single in an NLCS game involving the Pirates. Slightly different outcome.

Only think of Drabek with my childhood team, the Buccos!

Loved Jose Rijo and Eric Davis
I'm not sure if it's underrated, but the relay to get Bonilla out at third in the 8th is a very big part of this series.
Pete Johnson Had Bonilla held up at second, what would the situation have been (runners on base, outs)?
+Chris Kreager It would have been a runner on second with one out.
As an Eric Davis fanatic, it's one of the greatest plays of all time.
What a throw @ 2:12:21 by Eric Davis to get Bobby Bonilla at third.
#Goosebumps
Best throw I've seen in my 35 years as a Reds fan.
Lol Jack Buck "Well when your polish & live in Pittsburgh you can do anything you want with the words."
Best assist ever

Eric Davis is the reason I’m a baseball fan and the reason I’m a Reds fan.
Was at this game...still got the program and ticket stub...Reds would go on obviously to sweep the A's and win the World Series 😁⚾⚾⚾⚾
(23:58) ... How can Jay Bell be 4-for-11 in the series with four singles AND a double? If so, he's the first MLB hitter to notch a single AND a double in the same at-bat!!
😂 I think someone got confused and was thinking four hits when they said four singles. He had three singles and a double.
Paul O’Neal is one of the most underrated players in MLB history
He would definitely be a first ballot Hall of Pretty Good candidate.
The only MLB playoff game I ever attended. Nosebleeds in right.
1:47:51 what a beautiful view i always said the old stadiums was more better
Jack Buck was freaking great.
@ 36:21... Tommy Sandt played the Indians manager in the movie "Major League"
Looks a lot like him doesn't it?
IF THAT'S REALLY HIM HOLY FUCKING SHIT.I NEVER KNEW HE WAS REALLY A MAJOR LEAGUE COACH!!
This is gonna be a slider away off the plate
And there it goes away from the plate
59:35 Big O'Neill homerun, rockn the white t-shirt sleeves , Big coolest player on team
The answer to this lose: the out in homeplate to Sid Bream and the bad baserunning of Bonilla trying to turn his double into tripple. That's why Pittsburgh lost that important game.
Yeah in the playoffs players/teams will take chances runs are harder to come by against good pitching staffs
On the Bream play at the play, it came off a single by Jose Lind, the number 8 hitter.
With 2 outs in the early innings, I think you have to send Bream there, despite is below average speed.

Jack buck &Harry Carey the greatest broadcasting team ever
1:49:46 "Pete Rose is in prison now" ; and to this, you can hear someone clapping, is it Jack Buck ?
Piss poor rendition of the National Anthem by Bobby Vinton the same year he was immortalized in Goodfellas.
11:58 old school pirate parrot to the current pirate parrot

When baseball was fun
Do you think the plate umpire knows he is on tv? i mean look at the way he calls strikes
Dutch Rennert! He was a showman for sure. A couple of years after this NL president Bill White forced him to retire... turns out he had lost the sight in one eye completely (not sure when, he may have been fine in this series).

Ver esos DOS equipo. Como son.pirates. cincinnati
Hey Rus D got all the others, game 4 will not DL, what is up
No idea, MikeJr (it's not protected in any way by me). What are you using to DL? I just tried on a Firefox browser and it was downloadable.
@@rusd1300 Thanks I use YT downloader. Did not know you could you FIrefox I will look into that. Thanks man I appreciate it!!!
jack buck nearly got fired after making those comments about bobby vintion
I think he did a year later
CBS coverage of Major League Baseball was atrocious
Why?
I loved the MLB CBS theme music, it is the best MLB theme, the rest of the coverage though just seemed amateurish.
Had to listen to the snobbish, privileged wives of the Pirates complain about the seats. Then brag about Pittsburgh going back and beating Cincinnati which clearly didn't happen. Still I understand considering the way the Pirates organization treats the Reds' wives well. Marge Schott was just cheap.
Con ese mal corrido de bases de Bonilla, se perdió el juego.
Dutch Rennert most colorful and craziest MLB umpire ever!!
How he orders his steak “Steak Rarrrrrre” Lol
Dutch Rennert is the home plate umpire. Harry Caray used to say that his exaggerated strike call looked like he was laying an egg. 34:26 LOL And Rennert spelled backwards is... Trenner. LOL
Eric Davis belongs in the category of "What might've been" had he remained healthy during his career.
Was compared to Willie Mays at one point
Best talent I've seen in my time as a Reds fan.
Bobby Vinton Star Spangled Banner epic fail awesome. Jack Bucks' shot at the end Lol.
Joe Buck said that his father was nearly fired by CBS executives at the hotel immediately after this game for that comment.
As it turns out Jack Buck was fired after 1991 season
Patrick Gray what shot at the end?
Steve Coffaro 13:23 "Well when your Polish & live in Pittsburgh you can do anything you want with the words." LOL it was Bucks' quote & got him fired.

Its amazing how similar these cookie cutter stadiums were. I am glad that most of them are gone.
