@@mical2great I always thought steroids make you stronger. Even if it gets the bat around faster does it help you see the ball better? But your luck and natural skill game gets better
I remember years back playing MLB The Show and hitting a homerun at Miller Park with Matt Holiday. It ricocheted off the green roof facade just below the upper deck in left, and I thought that was far. Sammy is hitting bombs another 15-30 ft. past that!
yeah, nowadays every event is filled with hashtags and selfies and all sorts of dumb shit that takes away from the game. Back then everyone was there for the event and everyone was into it. Today half the fans would have their backs turned to take selfies and post them to their instagram that they think anyone gives a shit about.
Watched damn near every Cubs game growing up, mostly just for Sosa's at-bats. He had this insane intensity in the batter's box...juice or not the man is a legend.
Same. WGN afternoon games were must see TV my entire childhood. Then flipping back and forth during commercials to TBS to watch those great Bobby Cox teams.
Do people not realize if roids were legal every youth player would have to risk their health long term physically and psychologically just to play a fuckin game. They're not just fuckin themselves up doing that shit, their effecting everyone around them too. Bunch a fuckin sociopaths.
@El Comedy Rogue they are adults. They can choose to smoke and drink both of which are FAR worse than steroids. Ive done steroids on and off for 12 years. I get in depth exams every year on my heart and entire body. The worst shape and health ive ever been in was when I wasnt working out not juicing and eating pizza and fast food. When im on juice I work out 6 days a week I drink over a gallon of water a day I have an average blood pressure of 108 over 62 and a resting heart rate of 70 There is absolutely nothing wrong with my heart. I've gotten an EKG, stress test EKG, I checked for plaque buildup in my arteries, and I'm as healthy as a horse. But if I decide to take steroids and it ends up killing me, then that's my decision. Just like if I want to smoke cigarettes and get cancer it's my decision if I want to drink and Get liver disease it's my decision. And as far as the guy saying shit about the youth of America, that's totally up to them. It's no different than drinking smoking or eating McDonald's everyday. But people don't actually research steroids and don't know shit about them. They just buy into the bullshit they see on TV. There are dozens of things that are completely legal that are far worse for you than steroids. As soon as someone says oh my God it shrink your penis I know right away that they know absolutely nothing about steroids. They assume that he take steroids or just going to drop dead of a heart attack. And these are the people that are stuffing their face with fucking McDonald's and are probably going to die of a heart attack at 45 because they're fat pieces of shit. Yet I will juice for 40 years and be healthier than they ever are
I'll never forget this, I was 12. Tom Petty "Running down a dream" was the promo song. I know there has been "more impressive" HR derby performances, but this in my favorite.
Yep haha I always thought they said right down the drain. that was the braves theme song for 1 year as well when Sheffield was playing with them and I was watching every day. The 1999 was the first one I ever watched and this one was my favorite for a long time. the only performances that I like anywhere near as much as this one are Josh Hamilton in 2008 and maybe Stanton and judge but this one and Hamilton are definitely my two favorites

I agree, but the roads isn’t the only reason the game has gotten hard to watch. Guys just can’t hit, they have all these stupid metrics, they pitch 7 pitchers in a 9 inning game. 5 inning is a good start, the shift has made .300 left hand hitters of the past .250 hitters today.

I say it because of Bonds, Sosa, and McGwire: They used steroids; they were very talented, though; so I think they could have done great things even without roids
Bonds *did* do great things without roids. He didn't start until 1999 and before that, he was the best all around player of the decade and certainly the best hitter.

Thank you so much for uploading This was probably my favorite for a long time. I loved 1999but watching Sosa hit the ball where he hid it in this video, was just amazing. I remember I would hang up with my buddy that I called to talk about one of the home runs and then I would call him right back to talk about it and then hang up and then call him right back hahaha this was probably one of my favorite performances of all time along with Josh Hamilton in 2008. I believe that if we had statcast back then a lot of these homeruns would be shorter than they are being estimated.when people hit the upper deck or they hit stuff that's high in the air people assume that it has to be like 500 ft but in reality it's only 20 ft past the fence.you don't know if it's coming down from the fly or if it's still on a trajectory where it's got more space to fly.so I think that 520 foot home run would have been quite a bit shorter if we had statcast but none-the-less this was one of the most impressive things I have ever seen. I don't give a shit if he was on steroids.this was entertaining. And steroids made baseball better whether you agree with them or not baseball was saved by steroids.

Shame on "EVERY" MLB player of this era. Everyone knew steroids was taken by the masses and running wild throughout dugouts across America. But everyone kept silent because no on wanted to be a rat. Everyone is guilty of the sin of silence. Money kept every hypocrite's mouths shut. Baseball ended for me in those days. All sports are now tainted and have sucked in a bunch of fans who were willing to turn a blind eye. Especially when it had to do with their favorite teams/players. Basketball and football are just as guilty for other things as well. Fixed games, etc. Good riddance.

I miss steroids in baseball !!!
I don't know what you mean 🙄
Bring back the 10 out homerun derbies. The rapid fire shit is ridiculous. Camera going back to the hitter before you see the ball land.
He white now
Eso importa ?

El no speako de spanisho.
This video should be ban. All is record and his name erase from baseball history. He should be forced to give back all the money he earned from baseball and sponsors... cheaters like him should be treated like they never existed
This one and Big Mac in 99 was one of the most entertaining derby’s ever
Mr_ Flight1586 and the Griffey derby’s were also just as great ! So glad I was part of this era of baseball !!!
Mr_ Flight1586 what about Hamilton or Bobby abreu
I dont give a fuck about steroids...still have to have a swing and unbelievable power to hit it that far. Steroids don't help you hit a baseball
Nuestro sammy sosa 🇩🇴
El Dominicano Sammy Sosa orgullo domimicano
Just realized Juju smith looks a lot like Sammy Sosa
I wish they would go back to the old format. The best part is watching the players and fans react to absolute nukes which there just isn't time now with how quick the pitches come.
HE LOOKS LIKE LEBRON JAMES 😂😂😂
Hello Sammy Sosa, I am Venezuelan. For me you are the best dominocan player
I thought it was LeBron James at bat lol
Damn.. he look like the younger version of LeBron James before the beard
.. THAT'S UNHEARD OF lol🤣
Thank god berman doesn’t yell “back back back “ 9000 times in the all star game anymore
Remember when everyone was saying these guys weren’t pumping juice 🤣
They should bring it back. Anyone who questions why steroids should be legal in baseball, should watch this video
wao impresionante tu logro han hecho historia uno de lo mejore ronronero en la historia de grande liga
Una Estrella de nuestro pueblo San Pedro de Macoris. HOF!
Before everyone was so sensitive towards juice and injected bats ... best derby’s and baseball ever. !! Glad I lived this era
Dude got bigger from 1999-2020 with all that juice
Ah! Those times men, really fun to watch Sammy
The steroid era was the best era. Those just sound different coming off the bat.
I still remember watching this, epic swings from Sosa.
whos here after watching yesterdays dud of a HR derby?
I couldn’t stop smiling 😀
So much roids, it made him turn white
such a great swing
Home run derby isn't fun anymore. But during the steroid era it was must see TV.
Mi ídolo
this version of the derby will ALWAYS be better than how it is now.
Sosa kind of looks like Lebron.
straight up he look like a high school version
Take a look at Sosa now he literally has turned white no muscle whatsoever
There was a cork in that bat
