What a great time to be a teenager. Saw over 20 games that year in the bleachers. Remember watching this game at home with my pops. RIP. Still waiting for a summer, ANY summer, to top the summer of 1984. First car, love, great clothes, better hair. Still waiting............
I was at this game front row upper deck. As a country boy from Oregon going to this game with my buddy who lives in Chicago and we had a blast and little did we know we would be witnessing history with this no hitter. This is like a diary of our day together. Thank you for sharing.
I have a similar experience of meeting my high school teammate in Atlanta and going to see the Braves play at Turner Field to see Randy Johnson pitch. Happened to be the perfect game that he threw. Stadium was completely silent as everyone walked out to the parking lot.
I 100% Agree! This guy has the same numbers as Andy Pettitte. Won 3 World Series (84, 91, 92) was left off the 93 Toronto playoff roster & pitched a 10 inning masterpiece in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series.
@@michaelmarino7391 Except Morris was better. Morris had 175 complete games. Your numbers look better when you pitch 7 innings and then let Mariano finish it for you.
I just realized something. The White Sox had 2 players in their lineup who had the last name of "Law" (Vance and Rudy) while they were managed by Tony La Russa who had/has a law degree.
It was not easy winning the AL EAST. The 5th place Baltimore Orioles would have won the AL WEST by 1 game if they were in the WEST. The EAST was 52 games better. The Tigers had a great team. Nobody was going to beat them that year. Thanks for the upload. Please upload some Yankees games. I love watching these games from the 70s and 80s. Once again thanks
Remember Saturday, April 7, 1984 very well. Took a placement test at DePaul University that morning. Afterwards had the choice of going to either Comiskey Park to watch this game or Soldier Field for a USFL match between the Chicago Blitz and San Antonio Gunslingers. Guess where I went? Yep, the latter.
Because of all of the initial Dome hate re baseball when it opened, MIN was within an eyelash of having own USFL franchise, we could have been rivals. At least it made the port authority replace Soldier Field turf only to have buddy bring back the old stuff for '84. Movie Naked Gun made fun of Enberg drooling with giddiness after seeing Dent and co. blow up QBs like Manning and Humm where even Merlin Olson was muttering "what a lil psycho'😊
Fargo ND now within MLB "blackout territory" being over 200+ miles away was what I had to watch on TV, re NFL they are working on having practice squad type players stay sharp and have some organized league "farm system" which would be nice as even in ND, come May its tough to be thinking football.
I was 7 during the 84 season but remember it quite well. Didn't go to my first game until 1987 tho - a night game during what I believe was a partial lunar eclipse. Glad I got to see about 10 or 15 games in the old park, the last one in 1998. Great times
What I will always remember was their start. As I recall, their record after 40 games was 35 and 5. They cooled off and played .500 ball for the remainder of the season.
I was 12 in April of ’84… My parents surprised my brothers and me with an impromptu weekend family get-away to Chicago, which was to include a Tigers/White Sox game. With Comiskey being on the south side and immediately adjacent to the interstate, my dad figured that SUNDAY’S game would be the ideal one to attend, since we could just leave from that side of town and get a head start on the traffic for the drive back home to Michigan. We watched Saturday’s no-hitter from the confines of our hotel room.
This game CEMENTED me beloved Tigers as the team to win the 1984 World Series WHICH WE DID WITH A VENGENACE! Morris fork ball (knife and spoon too) hornswoggled the White Sox here!
The Tigers started 35-5 in 1984, even hotter than the White Sox were at the end of 1983, when they went 74-32. Fun fact: The White Sox have never made consecutive postseason appearances in their 118-season history. They had a chance of doing so in 1994, but the strike ended the season when they were in first place in the newly-formed AL Central, one game ahead of Cleveland.
Note how Scully and the graphics both continually ACKNOWLEDGE the on-going no-hitter. There is no such thing as a no-hitter curse, and I appreciate when the broadcast lets any just-arriving viewers know the stakes.
Jack morris never faced a pitcher in his entire career. He was an American League pitcher who played in the era before inter league play and after the DH was implemented. He’s the only such pitcher to have recorded 2000 strikeouts
I remember watching this as a kid. There was a great story about it in the Free Press the next day. Back then, Comiskey Park fans were very obnoxious. After the seventh inning, a bunch of them started screaming at Morris while he was in the dugout, telling him he had a no-hitter, trying to jinx him. He finally had enough, stepped to the top of the dugout and shouted, "Watch me get the next six fucking guys out!" Boom.
The game has really changed. Even from an announcing stand point. they painted a picture, gave you conversation,always had something to say. entertainment. now they put the strike zone box on the screen. put the mph on every pitch and that all they talk about. launch angle, spin rate. sometimes unwatchable.
1:42:16 nice swipe from MIN 7 BAL 0 to show a pristine infield/fireworks launching pad at Comiskey. Us Parker's/Huth would have preferred another shot of safety baggie or outfield plexiglass and how Twins enjoyed relatively injury free baseball 84-88 and despite later injections of BAL castaway Miller mgr that Dome dirt was some of the best dirl in the league😊. Morris #MVP
Another game where player was sawed off where broken bat goes yet again into stands, more armed guards at the behind home plate so gate openings cannot be manipulated for player safety😊
52:14 Exxon "Super Unleaded" at 87 octane showing a closed air system Iron Duke Camaro pushing 90hp thru a puddle? I'm confused. And how come I never saw any ads for car "performance sports methanol" blend fuels for my 3800😢 in 2024
27:42 ha Scully just called Parrish a lil' midget little person by equating french term for county Parish as a community or little town. If Parrish was a Twin who liked to employ 4 catchers on active roster, Larry would have been waitin for him in the Comiskey parking lot❤
How would Scully know who was up in the bullpen? 1:37:31 without safety plexiglass they got some good eyesight up in the booth as you cant see nothing based on this copy😮

18:18-Garagiola goes off on a 2-minute verbal diarrhea spree in the middle of announcing the defensive for Detroit. I think this broadcasting duo is vastly overrated.
Tony Kubek and Bob Costas; but I don't watch current baseball so I don't know that many baseball broadcasting duos. In basketball, Raftery, Nantz, and Dan Dakich are all good. The problem with both Garagiola and Scully is that it was more about them than the teams playing. In the middle of the 84 world series, Scully suddenly said "I know a guy who shaved with a stick." @@alkohalak8199

When Morris had a lead, he went straight at 'em!
Love the old stuff! Jack Morris should have been put in the HOF a lot sooner!

Morris won more games in the 1980's than any other pitcher in those years.
Finally, he is a Hall of Fame pitcher.
I think Morris is way better than Pettite.
you can tell anyone that it was going to be a great year for the Tigers when Morris threw the no-hitter, great call by one of the best,Vin Scully!

this is during 35-5 in the 1st 40 games won the A.L east from wire to wire enroute to having the best record in baseball
StFidjnr that’s the yr I started watching gow
Great tiger 🐅 team of 1984. I remember it so well...
The Tigers were really the best team in 1984.
I remember this game very clearly. I was jumping up and down over it in my parents living room.
You know the Tigers were having a charmed year when Morris walks the bases loaded and gets out of it without giving up a hit or a run.
It was not easy winning the AL EAST. The 5th place Baltimore Orioles would have won the AL WEST by 1 game if they were in the WEST. The EAST was 52 games better. The Tigers had a great team.

The 3-2 pitch to Luzinski in the 9th bisected the plate!! Good thing he still got the no-no.
I remember watching this game at a bar in Royal Oak, MI.
I was 7 during the 84 season but remember it quite well. Didn't go to my first game until 1987 tho - a night game during what I believe was a partial lunar eclipse. Glad I got to see about 10 or 15 games in the old park, the last one in 1998. Great times
Vin Scully (PBP) & Joe Garagiola (C)
thanks so much- please more tigers 80s games. thank you!
What I will always remember was their start. As I recall, their record after 40 games was 35 and 5. They cooled off and played .500 ball for the remainder of the season.
I watched this game on NBC while a sophomore in high school playing baseball
Tigers really should have won in 87 too. Twins were a Cinderella story.

Team may have been "handcuffed" as the games in Detroit it was painful to see Dewey Evans playing 3rd.

As someone who attended the night AFTER Randy Johnson struck out 19 and Mark McGwire hit the ball to the moon in 1997, I can absolutely relate.
Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola, They were NBC MLB Game of the Week!!! Their voices will Always be a Game Winner!
Tony LaRussa was 39 in '84 managing the Sox. Well it's '21 and he's managing the Sox again @ 76. I need whatever he's taking!

This is true
As far as I know, there are still only two teams in MLB to go wire to wire. The 1927 Yankees and the 1984 Detroit Tigers.
1990 Reds also did it
@@Mr_Redsfan1955 Dodgers and 2005 White Sox as well.
109:47 "I didn't want to get emotionally involved". Classic line and a good example of how times have changed.
Note how Scully and the graphics both continually ACKNOWLEDGE the on-going no-hitter.
There is no such thing as a no-hitter curse, and I appreciate when the broadcast lets any just-arriving viewers know the stakes.
2:12:10 The "Gray Flamingo" is a legend in Venezuela. He pitched for Águilas del Zulia back in the early 80's

The fact that Garagiola was talking about a cut fastball proves he was before his time
Erine's radio call was significantly better, all due respect to Vin.
Who else actually watched this game live? My only regret is that it wasn’t Seaver vs Morris
I remember watching this live. I thought Parrish was going to accidentally pile drive him.
The game has really changed. Even from an announcing stand point. they painted a picture, gave you conversation,always had something to say. entertainment. now they put the strike zone box on the screen. put the mph on every pitch and that all they talk about. launch angle, spin rate. sometimes unwatchable.
I put a TBS playoff game on the other day and was actually confused by how much information was in the upper left box. Way too busy.
And now they're putting broads in the booth. Not cool.

Lite beer commercials were the best. Good acting too.

I feel bad for what happened to Rod Allen and Mario Impemba when they were broadcasters working for the Tigers. I wish the best for both of them.
And the commercials… were actually funny! 😂

In the ninth inning , bad call by ump ... to me it looked like strike to Greg Luzinski
Vin!
Who's to say that Greg luzinski wasn't taking some type of performance enhancing drug back in the 80s. He wasn't that big in Philadelphia....
His problem was PIES, not PEDS.
He wasn't that old in Philadelphia....
