I was pretty young in his prime years, I forgot how much power he had putting balls into the third deck and over center field wall. Nobody else comes close to his distance
I came here expecting Bryce, Ryan, Jim (Thome) and Kyle (Schwarber). Utley and Burrell also had a ton of HRs but I don't know if they were that powerful. Anyway, great team Phillies
How can this not have Matt Stairs' blast off Broxton in the '08 NLCS? Turned the tide of the series, and Stairs put a flat side on that ball. th-cam.com/video/UCBJv3Xz7QY/w-d-xo.html
People harp on Joe Buck, and I’ll agree that he really used to not give a shit, but he’s improved so much over the years, if he started announcing today he would be considered a great announcer
I’m just a bitter Met fan pointing out that CItizens Bank Park is a bandbox. But then again, I’ve seen those boys send some deep souvenirs at Shea & Citi too so kudos!
“Castro has it spins fires… A PERFECT GAME ROY HALLADAY HAS THROWN THE SECOND PERFECT GAME IN PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES HISTORY HE FACES 27 BATTERS HE RETIRES ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL 27”. He may not be HK but Tom McCarthy is a great replacement.
Should’ve had Inky’s grand slam in 93. He hit an absolute monster of a shot that would’ve landed who knows where in the upper deck of the vet if not for the foul pole netting stopping it
My question is has a right hander ever hit a moonshot, that basically cleared the seats in left field, and perhaps, on a bounce, hit a car in the parking lot?
I was at the game on the first clip when Howard hit it over the Powerade sign. The buzz was crazy in my section once we all realized how far the ball went.
Howard hit that grand slam so hard and high even the pitcher was mesmerized by it. 2:13, Matthews didn't turn around to trash talk as some thought, he was making sure Yeager didn't get hit by his bat. And I wish there was video of Greg Luzinski when he hit the replica Liberty Bell which used to sit in dead center field off of the 400 level of the old Vet(contrary to popular belief he didn't hit the Liberty Bell, the one that sits outside the 3rd base gates at CBP, that used to be on top of the Vet. No one ever hit one into the yellow 700 level seats(closest was Willie Stargell) let alone hit the top of the Vet).
Agreed, I remember seeing video of that when it happened, and it was insane. Never seen a ball hit to dead centerfield with that much power. All the monster home runs are of guys pulling the ball--a lot harder to hit it to centerfield that far.
1:55 Joe Buck gotta be one of the worst announcers in history. A World Series home run and he acts like it’s a bloop single in a regular season game 🤦♂️
This could literally be a Ryan and Bryce Highlight reel
Krukker exclaiming "Oh my God" on Harper's walk off lol
@Jason No, Sarge hasn't been in the booth for a few years now. 2014 was Sarge's last year.
2:15 Sarge pimping it before it was cool
Always loved hearing Harry's voice on some of these.
Still damn near brings tears to my eyes. No one will ever come close in my book. I am just so happy he stuck around long enough to see the '08 title.
I just love how this is 13 minutes of pure, raw strength being crushed into baseballs
The Gary Matthews bat flip!!!
Ryan Howard's home run swing was a thing of beauty.
This would be perfect if it wasn't for Joe Buck
1:25 hey that’s the “ Thta ball is out of here!!” Anoucer for the 2020 homerun horn
Harry Kalas
NICE BRO LOVE THIS CHANNEL, GO PHILLS!! God I Miss the early 2010’s team
I remember when Aaron Altherr hit a grand slam bomb off Kershaw into the second deck in front of the Jumbotron
As time goes on even us diehard Phillies fans can sometimes forgot how scary Ryan Howard could be with a bat in his hands. Nice to have this reminder
I was pretty young in his prime years, I forgot how much power he had putting balls into the third deck and over center field wall. Nobody else comes close to his distance
Everything about that Bryce Harper walkoff against the Cubs was amazing
Yes I hate the Cubs for life
Going from a Harry Kalas call to a Joe Buck call is kinda jarring.
I came here expecting Bryce, Ryan, Jim (Thome) and Kyle (Schwarber). Utley and Burrell also had a ton of HRs but I don't know if they were that powerful. Anyway, great team Phillies
How can this not have Matt Stairs' blast off Broxton in the '08 NLCS? Turned the tide of the series, and Stairs put a flat side on that ball.

Bryce Harper has power. Ryan Howard had POWER!
Cory Dickerson clocking the catcher in the head.7:15
1:57 - DAMN!!!! JOE BUCK IS SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need a 99 Matt Stairs in MLB The Show 🤣
Impressive how atrocious Joe Buck's enthusiasm with calls used to be. Like how can someone be paid that much to sound like he's watching paint dry
I was thinking the same thing. Bland af
I was at that Sunday Night Baseball game vs NYM, that was a loud ass crowd.
Not the surest that you’d want highlights from Citizens Bank though. Just saying...
???

I wish they would post the distance of the homeruns with each clip
Love Randy Meyers reactions to Ryan Howard. Glad he didn't have to pitch to him.
I was at the first one in this video. Place went batshit
joe buck hates philly

I just loved that Howard's Homers fan club. As a kid, I thought the name and the masks were very creative.
I thought Schmidts shot to the roof of the Astrodome was about the longest shot - but I think it didn't count as a homer.
Love the content, can’t wait to watch this video!
I hope Derrick Hall can be a Ryan Howard type home run hitter...
Harper's slam was in 2019,the last year of normalcy.
This shows how bland Joe Buck's commentating is.
I am sure part 2 will include some Schwarbombs
10:44 The normal facial expression for a New Yorker.
Nothing like hearing the great HK calling homeruns! Schmidt, Howard and Harper have so much power!
8:35 SIGN HIM!!!
Un millón abrazos cada uno
If Howard’s Homer’s were around today. They would be a huge meme
Tony Longmire hit a bomb at Riverfront stadium 🏟 for the Phillies. I don't see it on this thread 😕

Amazing 😘

Lol, I know a Ryan Howard 😂
Andy Musser’s greatest call on that Schmidy blast.
Sometimes I can't sleep. I put Andy on at night on replay I sleep like a baby very soothing.
I needed that thx bro
Ryan had power wooow
