For what it's worth, SD won 98 games that year. This isn't like when the Indians had only 86 wins the previous year when they made the World Series. They took their foot off the gas after clinching the NL West on September 12 (went 4-9 the rest of the reg. season). They could have been a 100-win team ala HOU/ATL. The 1998 San Diego Padres are a criminally underrated pennant winner.
Thank you very much Fab Mundo for uploading this game. It was the best Pades team assembled to this date. Kevin Towers did a masterful job of building this 1998 roster while we saw a great mananger in Bruce Bochy. No one realizes how great the depth was. They had Johnnie Vanderwall, Mark Sweeney and Greg Myers as the best pinch hitters I've seen. They beat the Braves with their 50HR outfielder Greg Vaughn injured & DNP in 3 games of this NLCS and Cammy was injured all season but he just gutted it out. And Tony was in his swang song as he would retire in 3 more years still he hit .321 in 1998. I could go one but those were great memories. RIP to Tony Gwynn, Ken Caminiti and Keven Towers. Because of the success of this 1998 season SD city public voters approved the building of what was to be Petco Park. And it will be rockin again in the 2022 NLCS series
1:33:02 - the late, great Tim McCarver with one of many Nostradamus predictions he made throughout his career. As a side note - that was a heck of a job by Hitchcock, a career .090 hitter, to put the ball in play like that against a HOF pitcher in that situation.
No one told Danny Bautista that Sterling Hitchcock was hitting; no wonder he was playing too deep in LF. Anyway, I was at work listening to the game on the radio. So I heard Jerry Coleman's famous "OH DOCTOR" call.
Thank you so much for this video, i needed footage from this game for a project. i just listened to the Morgan Wallen song about this and i had really good ideas.
Games 2, 3, & 6: In all 3 games, the Padres got offensive production from their starting pitchers (Brown, Hitchcock), and the Braves had key defensive miscues. And in the case of this game (Hitchcock & Bautista), occurring on the same play.
Correct me if im wrong, but I think this is also the Padres last playoff win. Since then, they got swept in the WS, and then they have either missed the postseason or gotten swept in the division series or lose the wild card game in 2007.
@@grsy764 How did my above comment not age well? I wrote that above comment before the Padres 2022 postseason. Or are you referring to the Padres wining game 3 against the Cards in the 2006 NLDS?
When are they going to Make The Altanta Braves Change they Team Names since they made the Cleveland Indians change their name and the Washington Redskins the completely changed the name and look
I hope someday in my lifetime The San Diego Padres can win The World Series.

This is actually the only Game 6 the San Diego Padres franchise has ever played.
They're trash and their fans are delusional..every year they say, "we'll get em next year."😂

It's a shame Gwynn styled loyal to such s trash organization
They suck...very overrated team and the rest of the league views their fans as bandwagon trash fans who only cheer on the padres when they're winning

I was thinking the same thing.
Who is here because of Morgan wallen’s me song😂
Lol
I am. 😀
No. I’m a Padres fan. The 98 Padres built PETCO Park.

RIP Larry Lucchino and KT. Your Padres are looking pretty good this season. Just got our second no hitter today!!!!
Eddie Williams from Hoover High School here in SD was on that team in 1998.
Hey, Fab Mundo:
This is OUTSTANDING quality. Thank you for posting. I, a Red Sox fan, but a baseball fan first, really enjoyed it.
First 20 seconds or so didnt render properly sorry about that!

How that Bautista guy was in pro ball is beyond me. He's so uncoordinated.
Do you have a better copy of 1984 NLCS G4, CHC @ SD than whats on YT currently?
Someone uploaded an outstanding copy of games 3 & 4 1984 NLCS.
@@turtle19dad yup those were uploaded after I posted that comment
Sheesh....Did anyone notice how wide the strike zone was for Glavine?? Nobody could hit those pitches almost a foot outside
21:34 Fake Radar Gun reading. Glavine can't throw 101.
He's probably too smart to even try to throw 100..
Catcher can is the best. Especially on the Game 3 play at home where Leyritz got ran over for the out.
96-99 Jim leyritz was the forest gump of the mlb playoffs
🤣
Amending that to 1995-1999 to include his extra-inning walkoff HR against Seattle in Game 2 of that memorable series.
The 1998 braves lost in poff was a crime for sure ...
Sterling Hitchcock vs Tom Glavine
TG!
1:49:53 I wonder if this was SD Sign Guy.

You’re wrong, they won a game in 06 vs STL
It’s been a rough road but we also won the wc series in 2020 against the Cardinals
Lol this didn't age well

Welcome back to the NLCS.
Jimmy Leyritz is the Braves worst nightmare. He is to the Braves what Robert Horry is to the Sacramento Kings

This is a good game but Atlanta should’ve had em
Atlanta said that every year in the 90s
When are they going to Make The Altanta Braves Change they Team Names since they made the Cleveland Indians change their name and the Washington Redskins the completely changed the name and look
The word Braves is A Plural Noun. So what is wrong with it?
Why should they change? There's nothing wrong with the word "Braves"!
They'll never know what it feels like again..trash organization
Acting like they don’t have a great owner and GM run with a loaded roster
@@shanestevens5352 lol so how about that great owner and gm? How about that roster?🤣🤣🤣
