they do, they have MLB Vault. But after promises of regular uploads this year they have barely touched the channel unfortunately. Look at WWE Vault, a new channel committed to promoting the history of WWE and they show off so much rare or incredible stuff. Ditto to the NFL Throwback channel. MLB needs to learn from these channels that deliver in spades on the history and give nearly daily uploads.
MLB and mlb network act like anything before 2000 never happened. Even on mlb network when they show “classics” it’s all recent games. Same with nfl network. Show some old games,
I remember watching this game on WPHL TV! Oh, the names - Lenny Dykstra, John Kruk, Von Hayes, Charlie Hayes, Tom Herr, Dickie Thon, Dale Murphy, Don Carman, John Vukovich, Nick Leyva, Sil Campusano, Darren Daulton! And the game called by our immortal broadcasters Harry the K Kalas and Rich Whitey Ashburn!!! Thanks, MLB, for this! As a long-time Phillies fan, this IS a Hidden classic!
I remember this game well it like it was yesterday I was 11 years old, the game was televised, on PHL 17 local station in Philadelphia. It was lit late here on the East Coast and I was falling asleep because we were getting blowed out. All of a sudden I heard Harry Kalas Richie Ashburn going crazy! I couldn’t believe they comeback like that one of my top 10 Phillies games.
There was a Phillies Cubs game in the mid to late 70’s. Business man’s special. I turned it on and it was 12-3 Cubs in the third inning. Mike Schmidt had 4 home runs that day. Phils won like 18-16
The Phillies overcame a 10-run deficit in a home game against the Pirates the previous year. In that one, Pittsburgh went up 10-0 in the top of the 1st, causing Pirates broadcaster Jim Rooker to say something like, "If we lose this game, I'm walking home to Pittsburgh." Well, they did lose, as Philadelphia overcame that deficit. Steve Jeltz, who rarely homered, had 2 in this game. Rooker didn't walk home that day, but after the season, he walked across Pennsylvania to raise money for a charity.
I was at the pirates game. It was my first game after my father passed and the first one for my son. Great seats by the left field ball girl My cousin was was with and he is a huge Pittsburgh fan
I don't get why MLB is just sitting on these classic games at their New Jersey MLBAM office and refusing to upload such full length games??. Even a reasonably priced subscription service just for these classic games, I shall happily pay for.
@@adrienchl4265 while true, they don't have the footage vault that an NFL does who invested incredibly early into their media and have went the extra mile for decades to capture everything and keep it. But MLB does have a ton of old stuff people want to see still.
We had the Al with the DH and NL without, something for each. And two separate leagues. Now itms one league and every decision the owners make makes the game worse
This is considered the second biggest comeback in MLB history in terms of percentage chance to comeback to win, with number one being a 1952 game between the Cubs and Reds. Both games percentages are as of the end of the 2024 season. In that Cubs-Reds 1952 game, Reds were at home and they were up by 6 runs entering the 9th inning. The Reds retired the first two Cubs hitters in the 9th inning, but then the Cubs scored 7 runs in the 9th to take the lead, and then won it The biggest difference being that this 1990 game was a nationally televised game on ESPN ESPN also aired the fifth biggest comeback in MLB history in the 2001 season, a Sunday Night Baseball game in Cleveland between Seattle-Cleveland. In that game, the eventual 116-win-Mariners had a 12-run-lead over Cleveland after 6 innings and a 5-run-lead going into the bottom of the 9th inning, and then Cleveland made their comeback by tying the game in the bottom of the 9th inning and then Cleveland won in extra innings.
I can’t believe there are actually people that pay attention to one of the stupidest things ever invented in sports- the “percentage chance to win” or as in this case the comeback. You know what the percentage chance was? 100% because they did it.
I am a Phillies fan, living across the river in Trenton NJ at that time. I was watching the game on TV on a local UHF Philadelphia channel 17 , and shut the game off by the 6th inning, and just for giggles, turned it back on the top of the ninth with the score 11-5, so I kept watching . Unbelievable is all u could remember, because the Phil’s had been the doormat of the National East since 1987 and continued in the second division until winning it in 2007 and the World Series in 2008. I remember the May 17, 1979 Phils-Cubs 23-22 game at Wrigley Field when Dave “Kong” Kingman hit 3 out and Schmidt hit 2. Phils led 21-9 going into bottom of the 5th when the cubbies scored 10 runs in 5th and 6th and finally tied it at 22-22 in bottom of the 8th, until Schmidt hit a solo shot in the 10th to win it against the great Bruce Sutter.
I remember watching this game and turning it off for 3s Company repeats then turning it back and it was the 9th inning 11-5..The rest was insane. It was hilarious how Lasorda pulled his whole starting lineup lol.
Another Phillies game you should do is the 1971 game versus the Reds. A Rick Wise no-hitter, where he also hit 2 homeruns (3 rbi), won the game 4-0, faced 28 batters (1 walk). Might be the most single handedly won game in mlb history.
I remember this game was on tv and not paying attention to it much…I was eating or studying at the time. It was one of those blowouts in the middle of the season that is not memorable. The Dodgers were up 11-1 or something like that so the game was over. And then that 9th inning happened. Slowly the crowd noise began to get louder and the announcers were getting a bit excitable. I think I started paying attention at 11-8…at which point as a fan you start to think that this could be one of THOSE games when something wild happens. And it did…the Phillies were unconscious all of a sudden and everything could feel it in the stadium. One of the most memorable games I have witnessed…and all because Lasorda is who he is, his head was about to explode after it slowly but steadily rose in temperature. A classic…
I remember watching this game. There were players on this team that were still there in 1993. John Kruk, Darren Daulton(who was a seasoned veteran at this point having been first called up in 1983), Dave Hollins, Mickey Morandini, Wes Chamberlain, Tommy Greene, Terry Mullholland, Ricky Jordan and Lenny Dykstra played in this game. This was such a fun game. Couple of funny stories. #1, Kruk was mad because they were going to get back to the hotel too late for room service and #2, GM Lee Thomas left the game early and ended up getting fined in Kangaroo Court.
Omfg. This game. THIS GAME. I always think of this game because of the ridiculous comeback and use it as an example of games never being over when you think they are and here MLB has uploaded the damn thing lol
On the exact 10th anniversary of this game, August 21, twenty hundred, a game in the now-defunct Appalachian Rookie League had a very similar comeback. That time, it was the home team who was down either 11-1 or 11-3 going into their half of the 9th and walked it off by getting to 12 runs.
NL West division was very competitive in the 1990s, with the rise of the Braves, Barry Bonds coming to the Giants, Padres being competitive again in the second half of the 1990s, and then the two expansion teams that became competitive very quickly (Colorado, Arizona).
Ever see George Carlin routine about people using extra words? There was no need to add “after 1988”. Most people are aware the 1990’s came after 1988, the World Series victory was irrelevant to your comment
I still feel like saying, "Hey Lasorda, 🖕 you, us Phillies fans." What a time in baseball. Not to take away from today's game and players, but no analytics, no PC, just a bunch of big kids playing a game.
the Funny part of this game was it was reported when the Phillies where coming back it's said Lasorda kept saying they got another one then on Prism a channel in the philly area that showed the Flyers , 76ers, Phillies had a show on the called the PHILLIES CLUB house and they had a Kangaroo court where who ever was the judge at the time asked the Phillies brass if the left the game early and most of them did and they had to pay a fine lol
What some people forget is Terry Mulholland had just thrown the first no hitter in a long time for the Phils just 6 days before. It was this window of a week that made 1993 not such a surprise for me.
One week in 1990 made the entire season of 1993 not such a surprise. Seriously? 1993 wasn’t a surprise to knowledgable fans because in 1991 we got better, competitive at least. 1992 injuries, especially to Dykstra dropped us back down. But in 1993 we were at full strength and we picked up actual players, guys that would run through a wall to win. And we had leaders like Daulton and Hollins. “Head” who told his pitchers if they didn’t retaliate when he got hit by a pitch they would have to face him and that he would protect them when they hit batters. The roster for the last few years does not include winners with very few exceptions and contains absolutely no leaders. I’m not trying to call you a liar, but NOBODY in 1993 said or even thought, “you remember that one week 3 years ago? This year isn’t a surprise.”
@steveswangler6373 lol...... it was examples of those periods of time that made 93 not such s surprise. They had s few no hitters, a 13 game win streak when they were healthy, etc .....JFC
14:59 Never recommended for an outfielder to do that, to pick up the baseball with the barehands. That can easily get by the outfielder and the hitter than ends up at third or scores
This video reminds me of how terribly annoying Chris Berman was as a baseball announcer. Why not show the Dodger broadcast and remind us of how great Vin Scully was, especially in games exactly like this one ended up being.
mlb should make a whole separate channel dedicated to this type of stuff
id watch this stuff all day

More of these, thanks. Sincerely, baseball fan.
From what I remember the Padres did this to the Dodgers in the early 80s and if I remember right the Marlins did it to the Dodgers in '93.

I was at the pirates game. It was my first game after my father passed and the first one for my son. Great seats by the left field ball girl My cousin was was with and he is a huge Pittsburgh fan
I also remember that game - one of the Pirates was fussing in the visitor's clubhouse: "Two bleeping home runs by bleeping Steve Jeltz...." 😅😁

Phillies won the division in 1993 and went to the World Series. Seems you forgot that.
As I young kid, I loved this Phils team and Lenny Dykstra. Cried like a little girl when they lost the WS. Lol

5:57 This "home run catch" turned out to be a big play in the end
I was at that Demsey & Dykstra fight!
The great.part of this was not the Phillies come back but Tommy Lasorda losing his mind. That is always very entertaining!
THE KRUKERRRRRR
I would love to see the April 15th, 1994 Game between the Angels and Blue Jays highlighted on the Hidden Classics in the near future.
👀👀
up 8-1 and laying down a bunt?
that upset the baseball gods
Be nice if they post the whole game
After 1988, the Dodgers became very inconsistent in the 1990s,

Please try to get the team announcers. This would have been so much better with Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn or Vin Scully.
Yeah, I was never a big fan of Berman's and this vid reminded me of that.
And to think, 23 runs scored, and only 1 home run hit.
Didnt Dickie Thon stay on for that '93 NL champion Phillies team (among others)?
No, he was traded in ‘92. I wish he was on the’93 team and I wish Dale Murphy didn’t get traded. He could’ve had his only World Series experience.
these are the games that give managers ulcers, grey hair and bags under their eyes. 🤣😂🤣
I was a month and 13 days old lol
Not sure who is worse to listen to: these two announcers or Yoko Ono singing.

This was great as a Phillies fan but man these announcers were corny with all the nicknames and what not. Would much rather hear Harry call this
