Dee Gordon’s emotional home run for Jose Fernandez deserves a deep rewind

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มี.ค. 2019
- When Jose Fernandez passed away unexpectedly, the Marlins and all of MLB were stunned. Ahead of their next game, Miami did all they could to honor their pitcher throughout the night, but Dee Gordon's leadoff at-bat was the most memorable.
Facing Bartolo Colon and the Mets on September 26th, 2016, the Marlins weren't worried about the playoffs that were technically still in contention for. For the last 36 hours, they had been working through their grief, and finally had the opportunity to show their love for Fernandez. Once the pre-game memorials were done, Dee Gordon had one last act in store. Welcome to a moment in history.

The closest thing to a virtual kleenex that I can offer you is this promise: our next Rewinder might be my favorite yet, and it'll go up next Saturday. It is definitely more upbeat, but is also a change of pace for the series (hopefully in the best of ways). Tune in next week for the EXTRA SPECIAL EDITION, as well as throughout the week for some more Weird Rules, more Beef History, and as always - lots of love.
Thanks for watching!
do the baseball game Phillies v Mets when they chanted USA bc Osama Bin Laden had been killed that night
Just watched the if: then about dirk choosing tennis, could you guys do an if: then about Tim Duncan and if he chose olympic swimming over basketball?
@SB nation idea for you do the final pitch of the 2016 World Series
Man it better be....
Can you do any rewinds in hockey? There hasn’t been an yet and there are many good moments. You could do the Blackhawks 2nd goal apart of the 2 goals in 17 seconds in 2013 to win the Stanley cup.
Well done, SB Nation
MLB ❤️
Aye wassup
He’ll never be forgotten, am I right MLB?
What are you going to do about the dropping attendance numbers in most parks?
HI
Bro, u forgot the part, A BIG PART, where Dee Gordon told Jose a few weeks earlier that he was saving his homers for a big moment after Jose told him that he never hit home runs.
That part was Crucial
this comment needs a pin
They also forgot the part about how like a week earlier Fernandez announced he was going to be a dad
They also 'forgot' the part where Fernandez was driving the boat in the dark, in a rocky and dangerous area, and while high on cocaine and drunken at almost twice the legal limit.
But why offer a tough, invaluable lesson when you can just sell sentiment?
@@closethockeyfan5284 boating is a dangerous sport
@@closethockeyfan5284 we don't know who was driving. Stop it
For Colon's part, he served up an absolute meatball to Gordon. He didn't even watch the home run. Class act.
85mph left center of the strike zone. Gordon still had to hit it, but that was served right up for him. Respect to Colon. That was classy.
E. Bryan Andrews I’m tearing up but this made me laugh
Colon even looked at him right after he made contact like “that’s exactly what you were supposed to do with that”
Man if colon did purposely give him something easy to hit that really is commendable
@@orangecrushaa Bartolo is a control pitcher; his entire strategy revolves on his expert placement of the ball in and around the strike zone.
In my mind there's no question it was on purpose.
Me: “It’s Opening Week of baseball, surely nothing baseball related can make me feel sad now that baseball has returned”
SB Nation: Hold my beer
What a weirdly specific thought to have...
Except Dee’s homer after.... damn it now I’m crying
Jason Murray good one but it’s not funny on a video like this man.
Wasn’t prepared for the feels trip this morning but couldn’t help but click on the video. R.I.P. José 16
😢
Held back tears while watching it too not ashamed to admit it
Yeah I knew what I was getting myself into. This is on me.
Bartolo Colon serving up that meatball was the classiest of gestures. Respect
Who else gets emotional when they see this. Like I’m a Reds fan and I still get sad.
The only people that dont get emotional with that moment never had friends growing up
Big Baseball Life style I’m a Mets fan and I think every other Met fan I know cheered so loud when he hit that homerun. Some things are just bigger than sports.
No. We're baseball fans 💯
Yeah I’ve been a life long Red Sox fan and it still brings me to tears
Dbacks and I cried a little
i’m not even a baseball fan but watching dee gordon hit a homerun for his brother, deadass almost brought me to tears
Straight up dude it gave me the most unexpected chills I’ve ever felt in my life that was truly a really touching tribute
Fernadez is not his brother but yes
PaAlKa The Future i didn’t mean literally
Manly tears were almost shed at this
i actually did cry
*The Angels' combined no-hitter for Tyler Skaggs deserves a deep rewind*
But definitely trout's home run deserves one
That game in general deserves one
Yasss
Bartolo grooved him one when his team was in a playoff push. Class act. He knew the moment was bigger than baseball.
And also probably knew they had Madison Bumgarner waiting in the Wild Card Game anyways.
Aaron Scarpa Agreed i’ve always noticed that too. And if you look closely you will notice after Gordon hits the pitch Colon doesn’t even flinch or look at the ball. He knew exactly what he had done!
85 mph fastball right down the middle i love it
Yea hes so classy, 85mph right down the middle just lays it in, love it
Aaron Scarpa but still Gordon has to hit the ball, Gordon never hit a ball that far ever and still hasn’t topped that distance yet.
Same probably happened to Jeter in his last home game
RIP Jose, the guy was a beast
Rest in Peace to what could've been one of the greatest pitchers of all time
Yo jamari when he wasn’t big tf
Dang crazy to see Jamari in a comment.
You mean the dude who was coked up and killed himself and someone else on a boat?
@@Wolf813921 The man's character was great. He had made several poor mistakes leading to his and others deaths, but he was someone who meant well. He was a damn good ball player and a good person, who had a tragic ending. He shouldn't be remembered in negative thoughts.
Everyone makes mistakes, more than others. Mental Health can effect anyone, even if they seem like Superman. You don't have to approve what happened and be ok with it. You're not suppose to, but you can't act like he is God awful and never had a positive effect on the sport of baseball and the community he served.
Since we're dealing with moments after tragedy, Mike Piazza's post-9/11 home run would be an interesting video
Yes!
Bartolo Colon officially gained my respect that day. That was a middle middle, flat fastball well below his top velocity. He served that pitch to Dee hoping he'd hit it out. That's a real moment.
Such a beautiful game honestly, that day was so much more than just baseball. Its so sad but amazing how beautiful people like Fernandez can be taken away but his soul and spirit still remain in the hearts of others.
Emotional impact my guy, something all of us will experience, i connected with Fernandez for many reasons and he brought me pride and joy that he is and was a successful hispanic prospering in this country.
Yes i know there are many hispanic celebs but you just dont seem to understand that i CONNECTED with Fernandez more so and in this context its in sports so i would greatly appreciate you stop trying to make a petty ass point..its my feeling, and my opinion. Whats your goal here my guy? What are you trying to accomplish? I really want to know
I was at this game. I filmed Gordon’s entire at bat. From the time he was in Jose’s spot to when he hit the homerun and went back to the dugout. It was a very emotional moment for everyone in that stadium. Jose meant so much to this team, but more importantly this community. Jose is still missed by many of us down here in Miami. There will never be another Jose.
RIP Jose Fernandez
“To appreciate something that’s bigger than just one game, or even sports in general”
instant like.
You should do "the creation of SB nation deserves a deep rewind"
Agreed,
Meta...
Agreed, but be nice, lol
@@ermidk7420 what?
Heh you kinda got this video a year later
In a wild card race, the Mets showed great respect to Fernandez. Cespedes put up his jersey himself and was very emotional. Colon gave up the runs by throwing cookies. As a Mets fan I was proud of that day because we showed that the game is more than winning.
S/O to the 🐐, Bartolo Colon, for serving up an 85 MPH meatball.
Holy jeeze I didn't even know who this was and here am tearing up.
Rip 16
Beautiful. I needed a little cry. UK Brewers fan here rest in peace Jose.
Im an Astros fan through and through but Fernandez's story always makes me tear up. RIP
Yankee fan, and the exact same for me.
stefan h “I’m an Astro fan but-“ just comment no one cares who you a fan of son!
Every real baseball fan can feel the emotion behind Fernandez and his story. Incredible talent, one of the greatest raw pitching talents I've ever seen, I'm a Detroit fan I watched Verlander from his rookie year develop and Jose definitely had that star quality. His passion on the mound and just in general was awesome to watch he had such an electric and magnetic personality on the field smiling and having fun but at the same time highly competitive and aggressive on the mound pure stuff this guy was no joke his 2seamer and slider combination was dominant velocity movement and control he was sure to be hof'er just needed more years. So sad that he never got to hold his baby 😭
@@tylerspringstube4868 Well fuckwad he got drunk, snorted coke, operated a boat in dangerous seas in the dead of night. Why should we feel sorry for him? We should feel sorry for the families of the two people he killed. The Marlins forfeited any right to sympathy by treating the guy as the second coming of Christ.
@@DNSKansas Agreed. He did it to himself and others
Was hard to watch, we were on such a run that year and it all fell apart after Jose's death... Jose was on fire all year same with Giancarlo Stanton, both were named all-stars, we had Dee Gordon back and Christian Yelich was killing it.. RIP 16
This is why baseball will always hold a special place in my heart. It's just so romantic and often reminds me of what is good and fun and the love shared between not only team-mates but also with every man, woman and child in the baseball community.
It hurts to think what Niño could be doing today but we will forever have this moment
Bruh thanks for making cry
I’m a big Dee Gordon fan and rewatching this homer always kills me. I hate that the clip at the end cuts short though- the hardest part to watch is the team consoling him in the dugout so I was REALLY upset that you decided to leave it out.
This always hits home with me considering I grew up playing high school in Tampa against Fernandez. Always a competitor and one of the most talented I've ever seen. RIP Jose - you will never be forgotten.
We need David Freese's 2011 World Series Game 6 walkoff, man.
Alternative: Scott Hatteberg's walkoff pinch-hit HR to secure game 20 of The Streak.
Love both of those ideas!
Scott Hatteberg's hr basically got a 2 hour deep rewind with Moneyball.
I’ll never forget that morning. My roommates and I cried. None of us are Marlins fans.
Beautiful episode. Gordon’s HR still gets me every time.
Now that baseball is back, a rewinder on the Armando Galarraga Perfect Game would be a great episode
Detroit fan here. Armando's perfect-non perfect game... Ahh memories that was a crazy moment. Same here, Dee's tribute was amazing gets me every single time too...
@@tylerspringstube4868 Yeah. That pretty much sums up Michigan sports
One of the hardest home runs to watch. 😢 This is coming from a Twins fan.
StarTropicsKing I’m a twins fan as well and it was Super sad for me to
Well since we are all here I'm s twins fan too! Not even joking 🤣
Twins fan here as well. I think any lover of baseball feels how hard this story hits 😢
The Miami Community Loved Jose RIP Brother 🙏🏻
Damn. Who’s cutting onions bro? In all seriousness, this was a beautiful video. From a Marlins fan, thank you.
We will never miss him here in south beach as a mets fan i loved and hated him
I loved him as a person
And i hated him because he killed my mets
R.I.P. Jose Fernadez 1992-2016
You will forever be missed.
Had to come back and watch this with The Marlins getting to the postseason 4 years after Niño’s death. RIP Hernandez & welcome back Miami.
Fernández* typo.
Even as a Mets fan I knew how much this game meant to the Marlins. They deserved to have that win
I was the one in the white shirt that misses the HR ball. Such an emotional moment and game. #RIPJDF16
Chris Dominguez is this is off topic but did someone get knocked out
Glad to see baseball get some more love on rewinder! Would love to see a couple more of those this season. Great video, thank you so much. That was a truly emotional moment in sports history
Man that made me cry. I’m an A’s fan but dang. He was such a good ball player. He is still missed. He was fun to watch no matter what team you root for imo. RIP Jose. 💔
I remember when this happened and it was the most heartbreaking thing that had happened to baseball in my time. Jose was a beautiful young soul with a great smile and loved to play the game and support the people closest to him. It's such a shame what happened. He was so impactful to the Miami Marlins that they needed an entire rebuild after he passed. Baseball will never forget you, Jose. #JF16
This was an amazing episode. Thank you, SB Nation.
Can't believe it was so long ago we lost Fernandez. Same with Doc Halladay. Feels like I read the news on /r/baseball just maybe a couple years back, not 5/6 years ago
This game was so emotionally exhausting I for real passed out in the 4th inning
I wasn’t expecting to go on a feels trip this morning...
RIP Oscar Taveras, Jose Fernandez, Yordano Ventura, Roy Halladay, Luis Valbuena, Andy Marte, Tommy Hanson, Ryan Freel, Hideki Irabu, and all other players that have been taken away recently wayyyy too soon.
miguel gonzalez isn't dead
Maanas Ravishankar
You’re right. It was minor leaguer Miguel Gonzalez who died last year. I’ll take him off. Thought it was the major leaguer one
Whats more sad is the number of these whihc were drug related
@@ashe1614 And that's the invaluable lesson they decided to bury here, just to sell sentiment. For shame.
Nfl Ref don’t wanna cause confusion. Cuz I remember “Orioles Miguel Gonzalez” and thought it was the major leaguer one. But the point of the comment were major leaguers that died too soon
I comment this everytime I watch this, forgetting I did the last time, but whi cares. RIP 16. You were what every kid in this game aspires to be
The smile of Jose Fernandez could power an entire nation. Thank you for this.
SS Aledmys Diaz who grew up down the street from Fernandez hit a grand slam the game after his death
I always cry when I see this home run. Would have been one of the best pitchers in the league
I was in Miami a couple days before Jose Fernandez passed (ironically for my grandma's funeral) and I went to a Marlins game. I bought a Jose Fernandez jersey because my last name is also Fernandez and I thought it was cool. While I was waiting at the airport to return, the TVs all had breaking news announcing his death. I was absolutely shocked and saddened. But I now wear that jersey in big moments to honor him 😭😭😭
Thank you so much for this SB Nation
RIP Jose Fernandez
Damn this one really caught me in the feels lol.
Brings a tear to my eyes everytime great vid
Such a beautiful moment and well done video.
Y'all desperately need to do a Rewind for Game 6 2011 world series. It's such a crazy journey the cardinals made. Just want to relive that moment once more.
I firmly believe that if Jose didn't pass away, the Marlins would be a great team right now. He was coming into his own as one of the Top 5 pitchers in all of baseball, Giancarlo Stanton would continue to do great things, Dee Gordon is still a reliable starter, and Christian Yelich, JT Realmuto, and Marcel Ozuna were all rising stars playing on the same team at the time. When Jose died, all the momentum the Marlins had built in the previous few years died with him.
There's not many people in baseball who has such a lovable personality and were as talented as Jose Fernandez. Rest In Peace. I also think it's disgraceful that the Marlins organization hasn't retired his #16 yet....
philly_ sports all they needed was a better pitching staff
You forget that Loria was owner. Nothing succeeds under Loria
Loria would have traded him by now. Either that or he would have been traded once the Marlins were sold to an ownership group that couldn't afford to run a team...
philly_ sports I stopped watching the marlins when they traded away my favorite players for peanuts . They would have been a dynasty if they didn’t trade away their players
These are FANTASTIC! This is one of my favorite episodes.... thank you for going into this.
Great video. Truly made me relive that moment. Rest In Peace Josè. Amazing player and an amazing person
I'm literally about to cry RIP Jose
Jose Fernandez was one of my favorite players in baseball and I’m not even a Marlins fan. RIP to him 😔
I’m weeping. What a beautiful video. 💙
Love that there is more baseball content on this channel this season. Please give us more!
Ughhhh damn you SBNation!!!! I wasn't prepared for this and its to early to be feeling this emotional... RIP Fernandez!!!!!
Damian Lillard Game winning three to win series for the Blazers vs THE rockets
oh god yessss please!!
Yes
Go Blazers
This was fantastic, made me tear up
SB nation coming thru with yet another Banger
One of the greatest moments I’ve ever seen live on tv, unforgettable
Liked the video before it even started playing. This is one of the greatest moments in all of pro sports in the last decade!
I really felt this video and almost teared up.
This video always gets me in the feels no matter how many times I watch it.
Do a rewinder on the Angels Combined No hitter in their first home game after Tyler Skaggs's Death. I know it just happened but its something worth doing a few years down the road
Props to Bartolo throwing that meaty, class
Thanks for making this. I miss Jose everyday😭
Wow I was not ready for that ending. Amazing video
Man, this makes me tear up every time I see it. Also, thanks Bartolo for that nice hanging "fast"ball. Some say it was intentional. I don't know.
Great video. Another emotional reminder would be CLE first NBA championship against Warriors in 2016.
That was really nice. Thanks
Videos like this is why SB Nation is the best.
Would love to see Paul Kariya's goal in the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals after he got knocked out cold
Off the floor! On the board!
2003 not 2002
we need a deep rewind on the youtube rewind
No i think it's best to just forget it ever happened.
Bro beautiful video, its 2019 and we still miss Fernandez R.I.P joseito
You guys absolute nail it with these videos. Great stuff. God is good.
I think Colon may have helped the situation on purpose. Great man!
Do Andres's Iniesta World Cup winning goal in 2010
Mateo Cuellar just give up man, no one cares about soccer lmao
@@Swagpapii Countries that go to the world cup do, and some that dont atleast dont have to use 4 main sports only they play to make up for their awful play in the sports the world actually cares about
Mateo Cuellar atleast we play more than one sport.
Mario Götze
@@Tropicalfire ill give you that one, which is very impressive, but (Except for Hockey and MAAAAAYYYYYBEE Basketball) the other 2 main sports arent really played at a high level anywhere else
thank you so much its beautiful and i am crying again, just a thought that the rewind was great but also could of spent more time post home run and showing everyones reactions
Can honestly say this is the first time I’ve ever become emotional over a TH-cam video, very well done video, thank you guys.
You need to do Loyola Chicago’s buzzer beater in the opening round last year against Miami
The Sea Hawks not running at the goal line in Super Bowl XLIX deserves a deep rewind and you guys know we've been waiting for that one WTF!!!!!!
🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺😢😢😢👏👏👏Thanks for this VID man.....thanks
@Craig Colby indeed 😢 sad event's
i remember watching sportscentre, watching highlights of marlins, watching all of those incredible sliders. When he died i felt terrible. I dont watch baseball anymore, but, i will always miss him, him and his passionate play.
Please do David Freese’s game 6 walk off home run in game 6 of the 2011 World Series
“Did you just catch that”
“Yeah,Yeah I did”
Cpage 105 one of my favorite Jose Fernandez highlights. Another one when he was in the dugout a half inning after giving up a bomb to Evan Longoria and yelled out to Longoria that he didn’t have to hit it so far, and Longoria joked back that that ball was right there, so he just swung and it went.
Mine too. Him and yordano Ventura were gone to early. May they Rest In Peace. 😢
This is a beautiful story
I get chills every time I watch it
Derek Stepan game 7 OT winner against the Capitals
Rest In Peace to Jose. Would probably be the best pitcher in the league if he didn’t pass. Too soon.❤️
Makes me cry every time
Chills man... chills
