There is a lesson to be learned here...This is how the whole world should act towards one another. Respectful.
Chuck you are a very wise man. Two good human beings.
This is such an iconic moment that transcended baseball. A real like "Rocky Moment". To see the architects of this moment handle themselves with such respect and class truly gives hope to us all. So inspired to see another great moment involving these two.
Amen 🙏
Well it was great to see and hear because it's such an important moment in baseball history and they both had individual and team success in their careers so they don't have the frustration of never having won the big one.
Eckersley's greatness made the home run moment that much greater.
Just what I said more than a year earlier in these comments.
I mean...Kirk Gibson was MVP that year. Not like he was some off the bench utility player.
I believe Gibson was on a lame leg, facing the best closer in the league, and hit the second of two amazing playoff clutch homeruns in his career.
complete class .... both guys
it could not have even been scripted better!.. it was a flawless moment in sports history
I’m a life long Dodgers fan, but damn how can you not love Dennis Eckersley. He is such an absolute class act. I’m so happy he won a ring the very next year.
Class act??? He was a fucking drunk in those days! He would pump his fist when he struck someone out, what an ass hat! Because of the DH he never had to face the music in the batters box.
He really is. What a mensch.
great pitcher, too..
@@kendallevans4079 He said he was cocky and that he still is.
kendall Evans he was fiery and a little wild but it always seemed more out of exuberance than any kind of nastiness. And yes he had alcohol issues that he’s apparently overcome and he’s obviously mellowed with age. I love this interview. Long tradition of players on both ends, winning and losing, of great baseball moments, later becoming friends and coming to embrace being part of those moments, whichever end they were on. Happened before with Bobby Thomson and Ralph Branca as well as with Mookie Wilson and Bill Buckner
I'm a Dodger's fan but I'm happy for Eckersley that he's able to surpass it. Total professional.
He was one of the best closers !
Eck got the ring in 89, so that HELP A LOT...
Eck is such a class act. He talks about the homerun with such enthusiasm you would think that he wasn't the pitcher.
I was sitting 13 rows behind the A’s dugout for that game. It is still the greatest sports moment of my life. Many years later, Gibby autographed my ticket stub. I have it framed and it’s my most prized sports memorabilia.
Dang that’s awesome
Nice move! That’s awesome!
Eckersley to Kirk: "we're connected, I mean we're connected forever, i mean we're like family" wow
What Eckersley doesn't seem to realize, is that a big part of what makes that moment so big is how good he was
I love it when former competitors meet up and humbly recollect their iconic sports moment.
Young players take note, this is what class looks like.
Give me a break
johndim11 yes
p.o
Two players who are great ball players
Are you insinuating that the young players today don't have class? There are players who are jerks in every decade.
Eck is a CLASS act
100%
Wow...the definition of class.
They both are. I love that Eckersley's love of the game supersedes his loss in that moment, and that he recognizes it for the awesome moment that it was, with total respect for Gibson's triumph. It was beautiful hearing him say, _"I was meant to be there..."_ It's like how I imagined the historical dinner between Scipio Africanus and Hannibal Barca, after Hannibal's defeat at Zama many years prior. Just a couple of old generals, talking about the glory days.
That's because he knows damned well that this whole closer schtick is a joke , for real; a scam and that he was a washed-up , one-time starter who'd been relegated to the bullpen for clean up duty when along came this grand opportunity to pull the wool over everyone's eyes by making idiotic "fans" believe that a dude who can no longer consistently get through a major-league line-up is somehow suddenly, magically transformed into a Hall-of-Fame caliber pitcher
Eckersley was my favorite pitcher as a kid, he wasn't the only one heart broken that day. He has a great heart and super great to see this video.
Dennis Eckersley handled this as well as anyone ever could. Accepted it. Moved on. Didn't let it define him, and he had an incredible remainder of his career afterwards and is a Hall of Famer and World Series champion. Not only that, he embraced the fact that he was part of such an incredible moment in history, even though it was not the best for him. That is a lesson to everyone about the absolute right attitude, not only in sports, but in life in general. Very special people, Dennis and Kirk.
I grew up a Tigers fan, and Kirk was one of my favorites. He has always pointed out that although he got the better of Eck in that moment, Eck recovered and went on to have a HOF career.
That AB was absolutely epic. Add Vin Scully and it was over the top.
Yep, if you want to hear the perfect call of an iconic play, just listen to Vin Scully's call. Knew when to stop talking. Knew when to let the moment sink in. Knew when to chime back in. And knew how to eloquently turn a phrase to capture the moment perfectly.
I once got to walk with Mr. Scully to a Dodgers-Reds game in Cincinnati shortly before he stopped doing road games. I asked if I could walk with him, and he said, "Sure." He couldn't have been nicer. We talked baseball all the way to Riverfront. What an experience and what a treat!!!
@@dantheman5745 Well said Dan. I would love to meet Mr. Scully some day...hearing his voice takes me back to when I was a kid in the early 70's.
And Jack Buck. This is the only highlight I can think of that has TWO absolutely signature calls.
th-cam.com/video/N4nwMDZYXTI/w-d-xo.html
Scully’s call was epic. Yet Jack Buck’s call, was even more so. His voice rising, realizing the ball is going to go out, “This is gonna be a home run! Unbelievable!@ Then in genuine awe, captured the feelings of so many, “I don’t believe what I just saw!”
To see those guys, so friendly and respectful of one another as players and as human beings, talking about one of the best moments in the career of one, one of the low points in the career of the other, was a treat. I loved the way (around 1:40) Eckersley said the moment has gotten less painful as the years have gone by, then Gibson immediately ran down Eckersley's list of career accomplishments, and says "I'll trade ya'". Two class guys. Thanks to NESN for putting this up and I sincerely wish Gibby the best as he battles Parkinson's.
- Yeah, in the moment after Eck gives up the HR to Gibson he goes from feeling on top of the world to feeling like he blew it for his team. The A's were shellshocked from that point on in the '88 Series. But 30 years has passed & now Eck can probably look back on that and say 'Y'know what? I was a part of a historic & memorable moment regardless, I wouldn't trade that for the world!' :) And the A's went on to win the World Series the following year( with Eck getting the save in the clinching game in San Fran ), so perhaps the pain of losing in '88 went away rather easily the next year.

As a Dominican I am a Dodgers fan. But we love the rules of baseball. Gibson was OUT by interference hen Mike stole second base. Too much tension.
NO BLASPHEMY INTENDED... But, God DAMN Parkinson's Disease...affecting SO MANY great people. My Uncle Mark, Neil Diamond, Kirk Gibson, Linda Ronstadt, etc. It will be WONDERFUL when we CONQUER that INSIDIOUS DISEASE
YOU'RE RIGHT!! Very similar to this is the interview here on YT with Ted Williams & Joe DiMaggio, where Joe said Ted was the BEST HITTER he ever saw, and Ted said Joe D was the BEST PLAYER OVERALL he ever saw.
Dodgers fan here, but I love Eckersley. He seems like a great, well-adjusted guy.
Jay Quintana eck is a fun guy but hard to get a word in edgewise when he’s rolling.
He’s sober. Longtime. He’s so good in the booth . NESN !
Thanks for the video, great show of class by both guys.
It was so much fun watching Eckersley in '88 as well as the A's. Eck was dominating the whole year, like watching Michael Jordan or Barry Sanders in their prime.
When the Reds beat Eckersley in game 2 of the 90 series - I think his only blown save of the year - I knew the Reds would sweep because the A's weren't equipped to handle NL style play, and the Reds had the best pitching staff in their history and legendary performances by journeyman players like Billy Hatcher. But I remember yelling at the TV and telling Dennis Don't drink over it! He wasn't exactly anonymous at the time.
'89 Eckersley and LaRusa came in for lunch in the restaurant I worked in (kitty corner to the Kingdome). I was gobsmacked taking their order. I also got to meet Bill Buckner - My last name is Buckner - good times!!!
Got to meet Gibby one time. Worked on his deer farm fence in northern Michigan. He came out on a snowmobile to check out what we were doing. I was so nervous , I mumbled a few words to him. Great player, Great Tiger, Great man.
Two examples of sportmanship. Great gentelmen
Arturo Castr
Yes indeed!!
WOW what a class interview between these 2 great baseball greats. I'm A long time Reds fan and the Dodgers were in the same division all those years and had such great memories. The AT BAT by GIBSON is one of the GREAT moments in baseball history. One of the very best, top 10 for sure. Both these guys are so classy. I wish Kirk well with his Parkinson's disease. Praying for him.
Eck has barely aged in 30 years.
Eck looks good just a some gray.
He looks amazing. Same hair cut and hair line too! Just a little grayer and a little thinner.
He's a broadcaster for the Red Sox and dies his healthy mane but not his mustache. And he still hasn't aged this year!
Kirk Gibson was going bald in 1988. As predicted, he's bald today.
@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 so, what's your point?
HARD CORE DODGER FAN since 1988. When Gibson hit that HR, my older brothers and I (who normally never do this ever...) were jumping up and down screaming and hugging each other and we opened our front door and you could hear our neighbors in Burbank was yelling... you could hear people cheering and screaming. Eckersley is such a class act for doing this. RESPECT. #ITFDB #LETSGODODGERS !!!
I was going for the A's at that time, but the way that Tommy Lasorda ran out of the dugout after that home run was classic!
Loaned to you by Detroit Tiger Fans. We were happy for Dodger fans, Our guy did it!
Tommy Lasorda deserves a lot of credit for doing it with that lineup. He typically had more talented rosters but that group just clicked that year and got it done somehow.
I'm not from the US, and not a baseball fan. But I am a sports fan and have watched that home run, and the build up to it, at least 10 times and it gives me chills every time. What an amazing sporting moment. Great to see them both discussing it, with so much respect for each other, all those years later.
Two great players that were part of one of the greatest moments in baseball history.
Whether talking about Eck or Gibby, always remember that everyone has a story that contains chapters you have never read. No one is perfect, everyone has regrets. We are all people created by the same creator. We should always show compassion.
You nailed it.
Mark amen brother amen..
With you, Mark.
Kirk immediately starts listing Dennis’ accomplishments and how he would trade careers after Dennis says he feels less pain about him getting the better of him on such a huge stage. The level of humility and humanity is both refreshing and vital; please more videos like this 👍
Great interview. Eckersley was a bad boy in his day. If you were around back then you know what I mean. Dude could throw a baseball.
& had tons of swagger
I can remember watching it live as it happened.
what an unbelievable moment.
Crazy how one single at bat could change the course of a world series.
These guys represent an era that is gone.... pretty sad to see
Thanks God for video. Some of the greats, we just don't have any video. Some is very poor quality to.
The last great era of baseball Mattingly, Ozzie Smith, Ricky Henderson, Ryne Sandberg, Will Clark, I could go on... very sad. To me. Baseball died in 95
@@DCSPEED23 I'm from Montréal. Still miss our Expos
I still enjoy baseball, but it's not the same, I agree. For years I thought maybe it was just getting older and nostalgia, but during the pandemic I watched a lot of classic games and realized it wasn't just my imagination. They were truly playing a patently better brand of ball.
I agree, the 70s,80, and 90s for me were very classic times for me. I can't really get into baseball after that.
That's what makes Gibson's HR even more special- he hit it off of the best closer in the game at that time, for the next couple of seasons and one of the best ever. Dennis Eckersley is in the Hall of Fame 197 Wins 390 Saves. Won Cy Young and MVP in same season. He had a K/BB over 18 in back to back year. He didn't walk anyone, except Mike Davis.
bbigjohnson069 the homerun is my fav dodger moment so lmprobable
"Except Mike Davis." LOL!
@@matthewhansen9423 People forget Eck was a great starting pitcher too for the Indians and the Red Sox. Twenty game winner and a no hitter....
@@wayne8821212 yep. A true HoF career!
Mike Davis probably deserves more credit than he gets for drawing that walk. He's the 8 hitter and had an absolutely awful year, the beginning of the end for the guy. Drawing that walk erased a lot of frustration for him that year
Gibson mellowed out alot over the yrs. I still remember that historic moment as if it was yesterday, just a kid in elementary school staying up to watch the game.
One of the greatest moments in LA sports history
I remember watching this game all those years ago, and it was an incredible and legendary moment. I have not seen Kirk Gibson in ages, I wouldn't have recognized him if I walked right by him lol. Great to see these two talking about that historic moment.
This is a wonderful exchange. Two legendary warriors having an exchange about a special moment in World Series history.
Vin Scully with the call.. "and look who's coming up"
LIE/11 NanoThermite talk about a roll of the dice, this is it!!
In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened!
WOW them talking about this three decades after such an amazing moment is fascinating!
dennis eckersly is a class act!
This was a real treat to watch. I know Eckersley as fiery and competitive which can come across jerk like over the screen. That's of course over 20 years ago now; this was really neat to watch and see his persona and warm up to him
Wow..Gibby looks so old. Sad to see Gibby struggling and on the decline with Parkinson's. Really notice it in this video. Pray for the best...
Hard to believe he was managing just a few years ago.
Gibby still sharp mentally though, and good memory
Bill M he looks very deliberate in his movement. I hope he is doing OK.
I would not have recognized him if I ran in to him on the street. Crazy. Eck hasn't changed a bit though.
I was wondering... he didnt look like this when he was managing.
This is so moving! I know so many have said it before but this show of class and sportsmanship is so inspiring and yet far too rare. Eck you are awesome, and I am a Dodger fan!!!
I'm a Yankee Fan. But I love both these guys. Two class acts.
Same
I have more respect for these guys than never. Two greats talking over a great moment in sports history
people don't realize that Eck went through a lot before that H.R. His first wife left him for his best friend/teammate in Rick Manning when he was in Cleveland & he overcame alcoholism before he got traded to Oakland. So that's why he was able to handle the Gibson H.R.
steve b huh????
Roy Buford amen to that Eck could have stayed in the bottle but bounced back I’m sure LaRussa had something to do with it.. I’m a huge Dodger fan.. but that A’s team was loaded..
EXCELLENT POINT !
That's very messed up of Rick Manning where stuff like that gets you killed in other countries.
I read on him, Rick Manning is the color analyst for the Cleveland Indians.
@Roy Buford Eck is a GREAT guy, by all accounts. He had a HOF career, but you're right, he's had his VERY down moments, as well. Last year, Eck was working as a Sox color commentator and simply was critical of Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez one time, and as Eck got on the team plane, asshole David Price (yes, Price finally exercised his playoff demons to help the Sox win the WS last year, but he's still an asshole) started verbally attacking Eck with a mocking "the greatest pitcher ever!" rant, after which many Sox teammates cheered Price on. Eck later said he was shocked at being attacked, because he was just doing his job as a CC.
The Price-Eck plane incident was VERY uncalled for, and this year when a reporter asked if Eck was going to talk to Price again, Eck said "Nope" and the thin-skinned Price took to Twitter after hearing Eck simply saying what he did, and (again) made himself look like the asshole that he is. Eck's gonna speak his mind, and that's all he did when he was critical of Rodriguez. But, those in the know will tell you Eck really is a great guy, and people can see that in this great interview. (P.S. I wish Gibby well with his battle with Parkinsons.)
My grandpa had passed away and was a huge dodger fan. I watched this and when the dodgers won that series I know my grandpa was smiling down happy. Two class individuals right there
Me & my Dad watched Dodgers when Steve Howe was a pitcher...my Dad said was a shame for Howe get into drugs-such a waste of talent .
Fun to listen to the both of them a great moment in baseball history!....
This is a class interview. Period!
These are two of the greatest names in baseball
"Kirk Gibson"
"Dennis Eckersley"
Classic.
Yes.
I remember that HR very well. It was completely unbelievable.
Dennis has such an incredible attitude here! OMG
Wow, what a great conversation between them.
Eckersley is a class act. So gracious...
Holy cow!!! Eck is such a classy guy! I loved this, his humility. I watched this on TV live. One of my favorite baseball moments. Wonderful clip.
Looking at the swing, it's incredible that he hit it so far, and with one leg.
Seeing these two great competitors reminiscing about the game of baseball is priceless. I never made the big leagues, but played a lot of softball in my life. Realizing when it was time to give it up because Father Time came knocking was one of the toughest things I ever had to do. Just like Kirk and Dennis said even though their playing days are over they were always thankful for the wonderful memories regardless of victory or defeat this game gave them and many others the ability to play ball.
What class from both guys...
A moment in my life to remember. These two guys went to war that day and now they chew the fat of it. Awesome.
What class Eckersley shows here! Instantly made me a fan, which I never was during his playing days. You rock, Eck.
Reliving the moment!! I didn't leave the stadium for at least an hour ! The single best moment in sports ever ! And I was there !
Both of these guys were fantastic, and great role models for up and coming players. I loved this conversation. Two classy gentlemen discussing their roles in an iconic baseball moment.
Eck is Colorful and Classy. Red Sox SupahFans deserve his Hall of Fame credentials and electric personality in the booth.
I think Eckersly does color commentary now for Red Sox or something similar in Boston.
Now we need a sit down with Ventura and Ryan.
Eck was not only a GREAT reliever, but a terrific starting pitcher as well! That's why there's a plaque on a wall in Cooperstown with his name on it. I replay Jack Buck's FABULOUS call of this historic at bat all the time just to relive the moment and that point in time when the world made such sense to me! Buck's call was just as historic! If all you had was a radio, you would have seen it all with Jack behind the microphone! RIP Jack Buck!
So cool to see these two legends be able to look back with fondness. Especially Dennis
I hated Gibson then and all these years. After seeing this..... Not anymore. Awesome interview
stripervince1 yeah but is it because he has Parkinson’s?
Mick Funny no, he just always seemed like a prick. Really never saw him in a interview. He Def got old wow
Age has mellowed Gibson, and perhaps having to deal with his condition has as well. He certainly came across as an arrogant jerk when he was a player, but maybe that was the attitude he felt he needed to succeed at a difficult sport. Or maybe he was just a macho knucklehead as a young man. I remember reading a Sports Illustrated feature on him where it seemed like all he could talk about was going out and shooting a bunch of birds; seemed to have a real aggressive, even nasty disposition. But time marches on and people can change. Gibby certainly seems like he has. He was very generous with his comments and seems to like Eck a lot, and not just for feeding him that slider.
Eckersley owned this moment.
Was watching the game on our little black and white tv back in my home town in Mexico , played the game for so many years , and that’s what I call a old school great players ..
Awesome vid. Thank you for uploading. And thank you to the Eck and Gibbs for providing us with a lifetime of great memories.
Eck is class! God bless him!
Heroes from my childhood!!!
Both Eck and Gibby such class acts. Dodger fan for 53 years. If I ran into either one of them I would ask em if I could give them a bro hug for being such class acts. Eck is absolutely amazing having been on the end of that Miracle swing. I remember in those years he was just about unhittable he would have years where he would end up the season with 73 strikeouts and four walks for the entire year! One year he had a 0.50 ERA for an entire year. Go and look up some of his best years where he was just incredible several years in a row it's mind-blowing! Which makes Gibson's injured knee and pulled thigh muscle home run all the more amazingly incredible miraculous! I love both guys and respect them they're both such Classics and I still get the chills to this day watching that entire 9 minute and 45 second at-bat! And look who's coming up!
Great conversation. I can sit and listen to stories like this all day long…
Eckersley is great.
Yes but...
I remember when Gibby was playing for Detroit and my dad used to take us to Tiger Stadium. No one on earth could run to first base faster than Kirk. The man was a rocket
MrMrwilson11 He was a heck of a tight end at Michigan State...yah with that speed!
@@Embur12 did not know he was a tight end in college, but with those huge mitts for hands, I am not surprised.
@@nathanbreidegam7111 I think he was drafted by St. Louis back then also.
Sounds like good guys with sportsmanship. Love the way Eck stated it at the end. He's not devastated or anything hanging his head....in fact I think Gibson's homer actually created more of a historical recognition of how tough Eckersley was as the closer for Oakland.
One of the greatest college football plays I ever remember was watching Kirk Gibson run from one end of the field all the way to the other outrunning every other player on the field to tackle a safety from Minnesota who had intercepted a pass. He tackled the guy on the 10 yard line and Michigan State went on to win 30 to nothing. Man that guy was incredibly fast.
That was the same game that the Michigan State fans were first introduced to some guy by the name of Magic Johnson who had decided to play basketball for the Spartans. They say he did pretty good for himself there... and other places as well.
Don’t feel bad Dennis, Kurt did the same thing to “Goose” Gossage in the 1984 World Series.
The series in 1984 was a total beat down by Tigers from start to finish in only 5 games. San Diego won one game that shows how difficult it is to sweep anyone regardless of how superior one team may be.
That one magical moment was the greatest time to be a Dodger Fan in southern California. Then there is the Bill Buckner moment. It all kinda balances out I guess. O`Malley years were the best.
One of the greatest six and a half minutes on TH-cam ever!
in the top 10 of 20th century baseball moments
Two studs going at it on the biggest stage and the
outcome being spectacular. What memories.
A lot has been made of the mistake Eckersley made on that 3-2 pitch, but if you slow that pitch down, that was not a bad pitch, Gibson just was able to reach far enough to make contact with that backdoor slider and somehow, put it over the fence. A great moment in baseball.
This was great!
Eck was one of the best an fun to watch. He looked so much like my cousin , and acted like him too, RIP. Gibby was a maniac in 81, and before chet took over center he'd climb the fence in center trying to catch a ball, and at 440 that was a no joke hit at Tiger stadium. 84, what a season wire to wire.
Two stand up guys right there just talking about the game they loved. Nothing in this world could ever be better than that.
Saw Gibson as wr for Michigan State vs USC at LA Coliseum Sept 1978.
jeffrey thomson my dad took me to see him that same year against the Iowa Hawkeyes in Lansing. He played some half back too that game. Also saw Magic Johnson play.
He was a heck of a tight end...his yards after catch with that speed!
that hr was the greatest thing I've ever seen..
steve b ..fuck you.
Two great players, face to face and still have a great respect to each other. How can you not love baseball! !
I was there at the game. What a thriller. You can see me as the ball goes over the wall. I'm in the parking lot; you can see my brake lights.
Eck gave up that home run but his career was superb - nothing wrong with it - one of the best closers in history. He and Mariano Rivera were legends at what they did. Prayers to Gibson who looks quite frail. You don't see these classy players any longer.
Aviation Photographer he’s got Parkinson’s that’s why he’s so frail
Thanks - yes I read about it too. Sad to see him in this physical condition. Wishing him the best...
I was there!!!
Lucky dawg
love this conversation between these 2 baseball greats!!!!!
That homerun was one of the most amazing this I've ever had the pleasure of watching ... To see these two guys now ... Wow what class
Gibson admitted he could have gotten called out for interference on Mike Davis' steal- always wondered about that non-call and as much as Eck is loved, Baseball history deserves Giibson's Hollywood Homerun, never gets old, no matter how much these two stars mature they each will shine brightly forever ⭐️⚾️❤️
So . . . is Kirk kinda/sorta admitting he did that on purpose? All part of the game, no blaming intended, but I admit I've always kind of wondered about that . . .
@@jazzmanchgo Yeah, there are some plays on the "Catcher's Interference" videos that are less obstructions and they got calls. Interesting that Garigiola (a catcher) lets him off the hook in the commentary, "Nah, he had the base stolen". It would've taken a tremendous set of brass ones to make that call in the WS under those circumstances.. Kinda like foot faulting the Wimbledon Final :p
@@thomasbrown9402 excellent comment. plus the ump knew Kirk had stretched out as that throw was outside baiting him to go after it. Umps in those days were better also, for the most part.
Philip Earl McG not really. If you think today’s umpires want the spotlight better take a look at the umpires back then.
@@thomasbrown9402 It helps that Gargs was right, by the time the catcher gets to his feet Davis is already less than 10 feet from second. It was interference, definitely, but it didn't affect the play because Mike Davis was not getting thrown out there.
I was 9 years old and I cried when my A’s lost that series
..my father cried when they left Philadelphia.., "A" Great teaM! , of all time.
how'bout 1989? ! :) ..I Saw two regular games in Oakland ,when i was out there for company training, 1984 & 1987 ...stayed in Fremont & San Jose...fun times!
I started following the Phillies when I was 9 in 1964, check the end of that season...talk about crying....
th-cam.com/video/3Hh1QTlu8ig/w-d-xo.html
Don’t forget, Jose hit a fucking grand slam earlier in that game. I thought it was a wrap.
This is like two great rockers talking about a great moment. Perhaps my favorite interview ever. Great.
Learning about this just now in 2020. Not a baseball guy but love listening to old school players talk about their big career moments.
This level of sportsmanship is missing from today's professional sports.
Eck is 100% pure class.... Gibson is what every baseball Player should strive to be.. Play hard every night like a warrior ..get dirty.. Love the game and one day it all pays off... You will have a hall of fame moment that will live in infamy.. I respect him more than many so called hall of famers in baseball..
This is great. One of the greatest moments in MLB history, remember it like yesterday
Great to hear the guys recollect an incredible moment in baseball history. I remember it well!
The old men look good. I'm glad Ek didn't jump off a bridge after that homerun.
Eck? One of the most stand-up guys in modern baseball. Never ran, never made excuses.
Roy Beat me to it. Dennis is no Donny.
He was on his way back as a recovering alcoholic - the fact he didn't get go on a bender after that happened was a victory in itself.
@@cwfenn Good point.
Tom Niedenfuer giving up the home run to Jack Clark in ‘85 NLCS was devastating. Let’s not forget Ralph Branca/Bobby Thompson in ‘51. Both pitchers still had productive lives in and out of baseball. Donny Moore? Well....
Dos grandes en el beisbal bendiciones para ellos ,7:23PM,7/12/2018/,Raleigh,NC.
Could listen to these Hall of Famers all day and night.
Two legends. Both are absolute class acts
