This game I remembered quite well! I don't blame Roger Clemens because Terry Cooney was horribly inconsistent , but Roger had said some magic words ! Terry Cooney was NO ANGEL HERNANDEZ! I will say that much. Sad, however, in 2023, what has happened to the Oakland A's - my baseball team growing up thanks to their former AAA affiliate and hometown Tacoma Tigers. I want to say thank you for posting this video to let me watch my team back in their glory days in the late 1980's and early 1990's!
The ball four call before Clemens ejection was a strike the one he called a strike before that was more of a ball. Bad call this ain't a regular season game in April you can't throw the pitcher out there.
Today November 16th 2023 what was mentioned at 24:53 and 2:23:09 came to reality. 33 years later after mentioning the A's moving it was confirmed move to Vegas for 2028.
@@leifopstad2972 Pretty obvious he used the two words that prompt every ump to eject. CBS actually just about missed the whole thing, other than the slo-mo 'lip-reading' replay of Clemens. Too busy having Jim Gray tell us about Mike Gallego's 'lucky glove'. You just know NBC would have been all over it.
Back when Oakland was a big budget team but then as the 90s went on salaries kept getting higher and they couldnt keep up.

24:53 man, if they only knew what was gonna happen in 2023.
Watching these old athletics videos knowing what's going on now in 2023 and Las Vegas and the old Oakland stadium. It's sad
a’s used to be so good what happened
This game was traumatic for me being a 7 year old Sox fan. Seeing Rocket tossed for muttering, and the brooms in Oakland for the sweep 🧹
I was 12..but it was equally traumatic as well for me!
ty for posting this,
The A's last playoff series win until the 2006 ALDS.

As a Jays fan, i LOVED that moment when Clemens was ejected.. But I must admit, IT WAS BS. (I just didn't care and i was still cheering it on, lol)
Pat O'Brien clarifies how to pronounce 'Denkinger' and Dick Stockton immediately mispronounces it.
I remember watching Roger Clemens on the Yankees never knew he got thrown out of a game earlier in his career.

41:18 Clemens gets the boot
Thought that was some b.s. that he got ran like that. Also what pitcher wears eye black , what a dork the Rocket was.
@@BAYAREA-kd1ig probably said a few magic words, but yeah Terry Cooney had a very short fuse

Damn, this makes umpires appear really thin skinned.
Terry Cooney was a prison guard before he got into umpiring, of course he’ll have a short fuse
And guess who's commenting on the ejection with Pat O'Brien. Don Denkinger (yes, THAT Don Denkinger)
