    I was in the crowd for one of those, David Ortiz in 2004.
    Note that the Ozzie Smith homer ("Go crazy folks, go crazy") was very unexpected, as Smith hit zero to 3 homers all of his 19 regular seasons except for 1985 when he hit 6. Smith was an absolute WIZARD at shortstop defensively but a very light hitter typically.

    The latest game ended at 4:48am, Padres at Phillies in July of 1993. That was due to a doubleheader and multiple rain delays. The 2nd game started at 1:30am & then went into extra innings! The stadium had 60k fans at 4pm but only around a thousand stayed. Around 2/3am, Veterans Stadium let people come in after the bar & nightclubs for free. You actually heard all the Phillies fans during the broadcast (there’s a mini documentary on it & the full game on TH-cam) & were typical Philly being Philly. The Phantic was entertaining throughout as well! 😂

    The World Series used to be in October, but that was before they added so many rounds of playoffs. Reggie Jackson, the hero of several World Series with the A's and the Yankees, was called "Mr. October."
    At 11:00, it's game 6 of the 1975 World Series between the Reds and the Red Sox, still widely regarded as one of the greatest games ever played.
    At 12:49, the pitcher was knuckleballer Tim Wakefield. A knuckleball has to be thrown slowly with little to no spin to work. When thrown properly, a knuckleball will break unpredictably on its way to the plate, but if it's too fast, or if it has even a small amount of spin, it will go in a straight line and be as hittable as a batting-practice fastball.
    At 15:17, it's the first game of the 1988 World Series between the Dodgers and the A's. The pitcher is Dennis Eckersley, the best reliever in baseball at the time. He's the guy who created the term "walk off". The batter is Kirk Gibson, who was injured so badly he could barely walk. Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda took a big risk sending in Gibson as a pinch hitter. He was hobbling so badly that if he'd hit a line drive into the outfield he still might have been thrown out at first base. Gibson did the only thing he could that would help his team. It was his only at-bat of the Series.
    If a batter hits a home run but fails to touch one of the bases, he can be called out on appeal after the play is over. The defensive pitcher must toe the pitching rubber while holding the ball, then throw to the base that the runner missed. The fielder then tags the base, the runner is called out, and the run doesn't count.

    That pitch you weren't having was a Knuckleball. Tim Wakefield was a knuckleball pitcher and they are very very slow pitches but when thrown correctly hard to hit....and harder to catch...Bob Uecker, who used to be an average catcher but is an amazing radio broadcaster (he was the broadcaster in movie Major League) said the best way to catch a knuckleball is to wait for it stop rolling and then pick it up.

    That pitch from Tim Wakefield on the Red Sox to New York was a knuckleballer. It is a slow pitch that causes the ball to make a lot of movement. Wakefield was known as the best and one of the last true great knuckleballers. He passed away from cancer earlier this year and a few months later, his wife passed away from cancer. Very sad. He is revered in Boston and spent much of his retirement raising money for charities.

    So you actually can’t hit a walkoff as an away player. Home team always bats last in the bottom half of the inning if they are losing. Best you can do is hit a go-ahead home run in the top half of the inning and hope your pitching can preserve the lead in the bottom half.

    I do wish they would have included the David Ortiz home run, where the outfielder flips over the outfield fence, landing in the bullpen where the ball landed, and a police officer, in the bullpen raises his arms in victory. It’s one of the great walk off home runs of this century.

    16:30 It _is_ possible to have a home run invalidated and the batter out, if the batter does not touch all the bases. What happens next is the defensive team gets another ball and tags the base that wasn't touched, and I'm pretty sure this also applies to walk-off home runs as well. This is extremely rare because usually the batter's teammates and coaches will be making sure the batter tags all the bases in order, and they will scream at him if he misses one. Missing a base on a home run is considered beyond sloppy base running in MLB; I've watched Shohei Ohtani stop between first and second base, turn around and tag first, because he wanted to make sure and he spent a little too much time admiring a home run.
    I think that if the batter wants to fix his error but touched the next base out of order, he has to touch that base again and go back in order until he touches the base he missed, then proceed as normal. I do know that if you run from first to second and step off, but it turns out to be a fly ball and you have to go back to first, you have to tag second again on your way back to first base. Shohei Ohtani got called out this year because he forgot to tag second on such a play.

    It wasn’t too a game goes past the 12th inning but it has gone past the 20th a handful of times. Now, with the new rule change, the “ghost runner” (in extra innings, a runner is automatically at 2nd base) makes it easier for a team to score.

  • @bleachedbrother
    @bleachedbrother 10 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    It's called a "walk off" hit because both teams "walk off the field, clean up and go home to their families."
    "Walk off" hits only happen in the 9th inning... or later (extra innings) and can only happen in the BOTTOM half of the inning (when the home team bats), ending the game.

    • @mortensen1961
      @mortensen1961 10 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      The actual definition, per MLB. . .
      "The term walk-off was originally coined by pitcher Dennis Eckersley to describe game-ending home runs that were so deep, you didn't have to look at them as a pitcher. You just "walked off." Since then, the term has evolved to connote a situation where the game ends, with the losing team left to "walk off" the field in defeat."

  • @darrinlindsey

    That slow pitch was a knuckleball that "flutters" in the air. If thrown with too much speed, it won't flutter. It's very hard to hit, and catchers have a hard time catching them. The catcher will wear a bigger glove, to give them a better chance.

    The next to last home run in the video is Bill Mazeroski's walk off home run in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series between the Pirates and Yankees. The only walk off home run in Game 7 of the World Series ever. The Yankees outscored the Pirates 55-27 and lost that Series. The last clip is Joe Carter hitting a walk off home run in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series for the Blue Jays to repeat as champs. The last two clips are the only walk off home runs to win a World Series.

It went back to normal after that for quite a few years however they more recently added extra wild card games so it's again pushed things so for instance this year the last two games, had it made it to game six and seven, would have been November 1st and 2nd.
