As a Toronto sports fan, this is one of the greatest nights of my life. The city was electric. People forget, as this was going on, just down the road at BMO Field, Giovinco scored one of the greatest goals in MLS history to secure TFCs first playoff berth. The bars and streets were a zoo until about 6am the next day.
WAS IT THE GOAL VS NY RED BULLS??? I WAS THERE AT THE STADIUM. WATCHED GIOVINCO’s GOAL AFTER HE SUBBED IN. AT THE SAME TIME, BAUTISTA WITH THE BAT FLIP. Should’ve went to the jays game instead of the Mls game but regardless, it was one of the greatest memories I will ever have
I will say the only guy who actually kept his cool was Cole Hamels in all this mess. Cole came out in the 7th and threw like a master, but his team was too upset to back him up. He made 4 routine - out getting pitches with easy to get balls in play, and his team made 3 errors to thank him for it. I have always felt bad for Cole Hamels for this game. He pitched his team into the ALCS, but they didn't want to go, so they blew it hard core.
@@PJ.Rob06 The Expos left town for Washington, and it was the beginning of the end there... I would go to a lot of games with my grand father. We went to the states a few times, Sox, Yanks, O's, etc. Then, 12 years ago he passed away... It fizzled out at that point... Saw the Jays were making a push, tuned in for that single game during the 5th... Needless to say I watched until the end. Been following along ever since
I've been watching baseball since 1978. As I write this, it is 2019. That makes 41 years. In all my 41 years of watching baseball, by far, BY FAR, the bat flip home run is the greatest moment I have witnessed! Nothing else even comes close!
I've watched sports for maybe 35 years and for me, that was the single most electrifying moment I've ever seen, by far. I've heard MLB.com writers say if Jays had gone on to win the world series, that batflip would somehow be the new MLB logo for decades to come. Even as it stands, its a historic moment in baseball, opened up HR celebrations and batflips for the new generation and every big moment celebration is now compared to Bautista's. He started a movement with that HR/batflip. MLB's "let the kids play" motto stems from that also even.
better than Kirk Gibson? Joe Carter? Those were in the World Series vs this one was in the ALDS. Besides the blue jays went on to lose in the ALCS. 41 years and not one moment better than that?
@@impittsburghpiratesfandont7867 Yes, you are correct. The Gibson Home Run, which I saw on television when it happened, the Carter home run, which I also saw on television when it happened both were hit in a World Series. What makes the Bautista bat flip home run so special is what happened in the top of the 7th inning. If the top of the 7th inning was just ordinary, then this home run would still be remembered as a big home run, but the events that happened in the top of the 7th added a dramatic flair to the home run which made it extra special.
Rog Fra yeah true it was a big game in a tight situation and emotional game. It’s one of the best games I ever saw. I think I saw some of the seventh inning live, too. My dad told me about the ball hitting off of Choos bat and it was the strangest thing. Hadn’t seen anything like it before. These were two teams who were high at stake looking for success when the jays hadn’t had any in 20 some years and the Rangers lose in the playoffs and hadn’t won the World Series. It was pretty intense
@wee woao cry more - look at the views and comments all over about this moment. It's immortalized in sporting brilliance. You're on the wrong side of one of the greatest moments in sports history. Enjoy
wee woao you fuck off you cocky ass rangers fan. All your fanbase did when up 2-0 was roast the blue jays then bautista proceeded to roast your dumbasses
I don't remember the teams, but Toronto won 10-9 in the 10th (Delgado walk off HR win). That game was tons better than this game. Best inning ever though here.
If you really want to "relive the moment" you have to start watching from 1:44:25 -- its about 30 mins of the craziest baseball you might ever see, capped off by 2:14:08.
IM A CARDINALS FAN TOO! But this is one of my favorite baseball games of all time. Right behind the 2011 World Series Game 6. Both games have things that you will probably never see again in a baseball game. A triple and then walk off homer. And in this game the ball throwing off the bat and error after error after error. These games had everything
Cards fan here too! I miss fans at sporting events also. But mostly because STL fans are the best in baseball, and I just want Arenado to have the whole St. Louis experience so that it's more likely that he resigns with us haha 😅
Soooo maybe people should start questioning this covid nonsense? just an idea. There aren't sick people everywhere. Maybe, just maybe, they're lying? wake up y'all.
I remember I was in my basement with my family and when Jose hit the ball we started jumping around and hugging each other, by far one of the best moments in blue jay and mlb history. Jose is definitely one of the greats.
just such an electric moment. can bring tears to the eyes of anyone and its not about the blue jays either. everyone remembers where they were during this game. everyone remembers being absolutely glued to the screen and amazed at what they were seeing. everyone remembers that iconic no doubter. goosebumps.
This is the ONE time I have ever seen a crowd win a game for a team. Bartman and the cubs' curse aint' got NOTHING on this. The Toronto Petulant children pretending to be adults, as a whole, intimidated the Texas Rangers' players with their tantrum. Rangers couldn't play baseball under those threatening conditions. They had things being thrown at them, people running out on the field, for all they knew, the fans were gonna beat the hell out the them. Can't blame the Rangers for folding under that. The Proper course of action in that game, would have been to delay the game for 1-3 hours until the crowd and players calmed down.
Legend says Elvis Andrus has PTSD because of that 7th inning to this day. EDIT: Also that shaky camera shot on Cole Hamels after Bautista's homer at 2:14:28 really captures so much. The shakiness of the shot, the crowd totally ballistic, the expressionless face of Cole, everything is great. He didn't deserve that loss, but sometimes you get dealt a crappy hand, and Cole sees that in that moment. He's probably thinking he wants to punch Elvis in the face too.
And the gods of morality and virtue departed from Toronto long ago. The true values and personality of a people are only revealed once the guard is lowered. Rats don't show themselves to you in lit room when you come in shouting and stamping. You must catch them unaware, with their guard down, to see what they are and where. The Fans of Toronto Blue Jays revealed themselves to be morally lacking that day. The one event of questionable rule application in the 7th inning led to a riot, and unrestrained evil. It was a floodgate opened to allow for reprehensible behavior to occur. I know who the people of Toronto are now, and what their values are (at least the baseball fans), and I'll die before moving to that city to make my life. I'd be surrounded by people ready to riot, plunder, and destroy their own property and stadium at a single, minor , and perceived injustice that affects little. It really shows you how little people there have to live for that the reaction shown was a possibility to a F***ing baseball game. I would understand if they were being starved, or shipped off to soviet camps, or lost aggregate billions of dollars in tax increases, But to Riot like spoiled children over a baseball game? How hollow are your lives? Tell me, when the Dallas Mavericks got screwed over in the playoffs in deciding games by bad call after bad call, did the Fans riot? But what happens in Detroit when a hard foul at the end of a meaningless game occurs? Malice at the Palace. There is a difference in the virtue levels of those respective cities that allows fans in Detroit to pour beer on Ron Artest, and doesn't allow anything like it to happen in Dallas in the same era.
@SoulCreation26 Yea its a shame baseball doesn't value aging veterans anymore. He would be great mentoring the Jays kids like Vlad jr. But MLB did a top 10 players from each team for the past decade and of course Bautista was #1 on the Jays. I'm a jays and Bautista fan and it burns me so badly that I only started watching the Jays again in 2014 and missed most of his prime. I didn't realize he was even my favorite player until his last season with the jays. Oh well, atleast we have youtube lol
@SoulCreation26 I almost wish he would retire, its a real long shot now a team picking him up,considering nobody did last season. I think part of me wants him to retire so he can start being honored. I wonder if the Jays had reached out to hi yet on giving him a 1 day contract so he can retire a blue jay. That would be nice but not so sure he'd be down with that since he's not ready to hang it up yet.
@@gedias1 If Shap and Atkins never came Bautista would have never left and retired there. Those guys wanted to get rid of all Anthony A's guys or players they didn't have anything to do with. Shap is an ego maniac, control freak. Why AA didn't want to work under him and ran the second he found out jays hired him. My thing is since 2018 they were in a rebuild mode, they were never going to win so why bring in more expensive filler pieces that fans care nothing about, then keeping an aging veteran around fans love and by tickets for, and can help the future star kids out. Those kids learn nothing from Grichuk, Drury, medicore veterans that are just filler pieces. Shap and Atkins MO should have been trying to ensure the kids had some elite or past elite slugging veterans around them picking them up everyday and helping them out for the future. And they could have brought a fan favorite Edwin back this season but instead brought Travis shaw. Mind boggling. Edwin would have been perfect for the kids too.
@@Flexb123 Keep in mind that the farm system was in shambles after AA depleted it. Step one was to build that foundation. I'm going to give them a couple of more years because now they have minor leaguers to call up.
This moment I remember precisely. I was in my living room standing and pacing back and forth watching baseball like I had never done before cause I heard Jays were making the playoffs and Raptors had just been swept by Wizards a few months back so needed a morale boost. After this moment, I became a fan! This moment was unbelievable!
Every year or so I have to re-watch the last 3-innings of this game and it still gives me goosebumps and gets the heart racing. What an insane and improbable chain of events. Russel Martin throwing a live ball off the hitters bat and then the 12-minute review and conversation that followed, three straight errors by the Rangers, the Jose Bautista bat flip and then the dugouts clearing.......twice. There was a little bit of everything. Add to that, the bad blood that had been brewing between the two teams throughout the season; these two teams did not like one another. Even while watching from my living room at home, the raw emotion was palpable. I cant even imagine, but would love to know what it felt like inside the Dome.....Yes, I still call it SkyDome lol I've never experienced emotions like that while watching a sporting event; which is saying something, since I once had to witness my beloved Atlanta Falcons blow a 28-3 lead in the last 17 minutes of Super Bowl 51 and lose in overtime to arguably the most despised franchise in North American pro sports.......I mostly blame Lady Gaga for that, tho. lol Joy, anger, confusion, nervousness, exhilaration, hostility, excitement, rage, pride, pure elation and everything in between. The ups and downs were physically and mentally exhausting. On a down note, the action of a handful of dickheads in attendance have given Blue Jays fans, and Torontonians in general a bad reputation; and deservedly so. It happened the following postseason against Baltimore as well. There's no place for that kind of shit. Anyways, what a phenomenal game and one that I don't think any one will forget
Canadians have a hockey culture in sports. Professional hockey encourages physical aggressiveness and even fighting and melees, and fans traditionally throw stuff on the ice when they're either excited or angry. Jays fans apparently don't realise that shoveling junk off the ice is a lot easier than picking it up off a baseball field, where each item has to be individually handled. During the Raptors championship series versus Golden State, some again exhibited gauche behaviour by initially cheering when Kevin Durant was injured. They had to be told by their own players to shut up.

That Blue Jays team was fun to watch. Seeing the Rangers lose like that is always a treat! We all know that Sam Dyson and Roghned Odor are still salty about this game! What an unforgettable moment for Toronto.
The 4 greatest post season home runs in Blue Jays history: Roberto Alomar off of Dennis Eckersly in the 1992 ALCS Joe Carter's world series wining home run in 1993 Jose Bautista's "Bat Flip" home run in game 5 of the 2015 ALDS vs. Texas Edwin Encarnacion's winning 3 run home run in extra innings in the 2016 AL Wild Card game vs. Baltimore. Of the four, in my opinion the Bat Flip home run tops them all, BY FAR!
I'm a yankee fan and ima call it like I saw it. Last out should of been 3 pitches ago. Seriously that was right down inside of the plate. Both times. Send empire to eye exam.
whats even more so impressive is that yes no doubt joey murdered that ball but Still it didnt compare AT ALL to how encarnacion DESTROYED his homer before then even still
The "bat flip" was not directed at the Rangers (no matter what they think). After everything that went on in the top of the 7th (I believe) it was an outpouring of emotion. The rules tried to screw us over. Screw you rules!!
I felt like that feeling when a song just seems to be talking directly for you and about. The bat toss was every Canadian saying a FU to umps, Texas, MLB and Harold. Not Cole he was a superstar.
It wasn't the rules. The home plate umpire made a major mistake but he did not pay for it, the Jay's did. These are supposed to be the best umpires but this was crap call - I mean call the play dead .
In 2015 I went down to Texas for game 3. The Blue Jays were down 0-2. We went through the pregame tailgates and got chirped hard about being the "boo jays" and "down 2-0". The Blue Jays went on to win the two games in Texas then the bat flip happened in game 5. Then in 2016 Blue Jays swept the Rangers. In conclusion, it's always best to not assume it's in the bag after two games. The Blue Jays came back to win 6 in a row. Three in a row to win 2015, then another three straight in 2016 for the sweep. Karma at it's finest.
If Toronto lost this game, the narrative would have been about the top of the 7th inning with the Sin Soo-Choo bat play. I remember with seeing this game live and being upset about it, but then seeing Jose’s bomb I was so happy seeing that, and I’m not a Blue Jays fan. I’m a Braves fan and haven’t seen much of them doing anything but this is one of the greatest moments all time in baseball
Cant believe this is a Toronto baseball crowd. Shapiro needs to view this video and learn what is possible in Toronto if he were not such a buzz killer. Rangers deserved every inch of that bat toss. Go Jays Go!
You should check out the interview Talkin' Baseball had with Dale Scott. He was the home plate umpire for that game, it is really interesting to get his perspective. Coincidentally, he was also on the crew for their series the following season when Bautista got rocked by Odor.
This was one of the first Post-Season games I watched and remember from beginning to end and to this day is probably the game that really got me more interested in Baseball than I already was.
I've watched "The Inning" countless times. Admist all the drama, I've never understood how Andrus stayed in after 3 straight errors. Boy, you're sitting the rest of the game. I don't care how embarassing it is to pull a fielder like that.
The 1st 'error' n the bottom of the 7th was a hit. It was hit hard almost straight up the middle which would require a tremendous play to make the out. The 2nd was the 1st baseman because he put the ball in the dirt and rushed his throw.
Creedence Bakken before this batters were never supposed to celebrate a home run because childish pitchers couldnt take the heat. Now its a regular thing
Probably my fav hit of all time the way he just tries to kill that poor ball! lol and there's just something about the way he gets ready for a pitch hes so locked in

Had to rewatch for 8 year anniversary! Will go down as one of the craziest games in history. That jays team was such a great bunch - won’t see that again
This was by far the most entertaining ball game in history. I’m neither a fan of either team, just look at the fire power on both teams. Blue jays deserved it, but what could have been for the Texas rangers
2:19:56 if there’s one person I feel bad for, it’s that man right there. Deserved the world for his amazing personality and didn’t need to be beat down to the ground like that.
I was at a final job interview when this was going on. Hotel bar in NYC. Place went bonkers. Well deserved for both teams. Rangers gave that game away. Blue Jays took advantage. Rangers became cry babies. Well done, Toronto!!!!
Both teams were crybabies. The Jays and their fans did plenty of crying before they came back. And I'm saying this as someone who is not a Rangers fan.
This is my favourite all time baseball game. today’s game jays vs twins was so good it made me think of this on I just to watch it again. I feel a lot calmer than when I watched it live. I was hoarse from screaming. I was sure I would never watch baseball again.

Shap is an ego maniac, control freak. Why AA didn't want to work under him and ran the second he found out jays hired him. My thing is since 2018 they were in a rebuild mode, they were never going to win so why bring in more expensive filler pieces that fans care nothing about, then keeping an aging veteran around fans love and by tickets for, and can help the future star kids out. Those kids learn nothing from Grichuk, Drury, medicore veterans that are just filler pieces. Shap and Atkins MO should have been trying to ensure the kids had some elite or past elite slugging veterans around them picking them up everyday and helping them out for the future. And they could have brought a fan favorite Edwin back this season but instead brought Travis shaw. Mind boggling. Edwin would have been perfect for the kids too.
@@Flexb123 Keep in mind that the farm system was in shambles after AA depleted it. Step one was to build that foundation. I'm going to give them a couple of more years because now they have minor leaguers to call up.
The bat flip was so filthy that Dyson wanted to vacuum it.

FloKzy SLay yup
Me, I’m a cardinals fan, so still enjoy watching Texas get pounded.
Right here
I miss this team so much but on the bright side, we got a very bright future ahead of us
This moment I remember precisely. I was in my living room standing and pacing back and forth watching baseball like I had never done before cause I heard Jays were making the playoffs and Raptors had just been swept by Wizards a few months back so needed a morale boost. After this moment, I became a fan! This moment was unbelievable!
we should have had the 2015 and 2016 World Series.
Every year or so I have to re-watch the last 3-innings of this game and it still gives me goosebumps and gets the heart racing.
What an insane and improbable chain of events.
Russel Martin throwing a live ball off the hitters bat and then the 12-minute review and conversation that followed, three straight errors by the Rangers, the Jose Bautista bat flip and then the dugouts clearing.......twice.
There was a little bit of everything.
Add to that, the bad blood that had been brewing between the two teams throughout the season; these two teams did not like one another.
Even while watching from my living room at home, the raw emotion was palpable. I cant even imagine, but would love to know what it felt like inside the Dome.....Yes, I still call it SkyDome lol
I've never experienced emotions like that while watching a sporting event; which is saying something, since I once had to witness my beloved Atlanta Falcons blow a 28-3 lead in the last 17 minutes of Super Bowl 51 and lose in overtime to arguably the most despised franchise in North American pro sports.......I mostly blame Lady Gaga for that, tho. lol
Joy, anger, confusion, nervousness, exhilaration, hostility, excitement, rage, pride, pure elation and everything in between.
The ups and downs were physically and mentally exhausting.
On a down note, the action of a handful of dickheads in attendance have given Blue Jays fans, and Torontonians in general a bad reputation; and deservedly so.
It happened the following postseason against Baltimore as well. There's no place for that kind of shit.
Anyways, what a phenomenal game and one that I don't think any one will forget
Canadians have a hockey culture in sports. Professional hockey encourages physical aggressiveness and even fighting and melees, and fans traditionally throw stuff on the ice when they're either excited or angry. Jays fans apparently don't realise that shoveling junk off the ice is a lot easier than picking it up off a baseball field, where each item has to be individually handled. During the Raptors championship series versus Golden State, some again exhibited gauche behaviour by initially cheering when Kevin Durant was injured. They had to be told by their own players to shut up.
@@sheilamacdougal4874 Candians just want it more and we are better then our pussy neighbours to the south.
Not a Jays fan but damn, I can still so remember this game. One of the best ballgame ever!
This is truly the best game ever.
I saw this game at home with my kids….
Will remember for ever.
Man poor Cole Hammels. He pitched an absolute HELL of a game. Really poured his heart into that start and just didn't get the defense to back him.
You know its bad when Beltre touches his own head.
🤣😂
Good one.

That Blue Jays team was fun to watch. Seeing the Rangers lose like that is always a treat! We all know that Sam Dyson and Roghned Odor are still salty about this game! What an unforgettable moment for Toronto.
Damn if they could've just got past KC I bet the Blue Jays would've beat the Mets
@@ldaws-3912 yurr
Who else just skipped to the seventh inning
Tracy Stone ✋🏽
Yup
Quick stop for EE's homer in the 6th
Watched the whole game in 2015
No
The 4 greatest post season home runs in Blue Jays history:
Roberto Alomar off of Dennis Eckersly in the 1992 ALCS
Joe Carter's world series wining home run in 1993
Jose Bautista's "Bat Flip" home run in game 5 of the 2015 ALDS vs. Texas
Edwin Encarnacion's winning 3 run home run in extra innings in the 2016 AL Wild Card game vs. Baltimore.
Of the four, in my opinion the Bat Flip home run tops them all, BY FAR!
Ed Sprague says hi. IMHO, his HR sits right behind Carter and Alomar.
@@Roller11111 1992 World Series - game 3. I was there to witness it, along with play that clearly should have been called a 'triple play'.
@@Roller11111 You’re 100% correct
2:14:07 INSANE still get goosebumps he murdered that ball.
Dyson : Stunned
I'm a yankee fan and ima call it like I saw it. Last out should of been 3 pitches ago. Seriously that was right down inside of the plate. Both times. Send empire to eye exam.
whats even more so impressive is that yes no doubt joey murdered that ball but Still it didnt compare AT ALL to how encarnacion DESTROYED his homer before then even still
@@00tonytone you are a yankee fan so piss off.
The "bat flip" was not directed at the Rangers (no matter what they think). After everything that went on in the top of the 7th (I believe) it was an outpouring of emotion. The rules tried to screw us over. Screw you rules!!
I felt like that feeling when a song just seems to be talking directly for you and about. The bat toss was every Canadian saying a FU to umps, Texas, MLB and Harold. Not Cole he was a superstar.
It wasn't the rules. The home plate umpire made a major mistake but he did not pay for it, the Jay's did. These are supposed to be the best umpires but this was crap call - I mean call the play dead .
@@nancymilawski1048
It was not a dead ball. No one was screwing the Jays. I don't even like the Rangers but c'mon, already.
one of the best games of baseball i've ever watched
This and game 6 of the 2011 World Series are the two best baseball games in existence
Jackson McKee game 7 of 2016 World Series and game 5 of the 2017 World Series were better
Also the most heartbreaking for us Rangers fans
@@davids4206 yeah
@@aidenmaloney Those were great but 2011 was better.
Jackson McKee freese’s walk off is amazing
The bat toss is sublime, Canada baseball fans owe a debt of gratitude to Joy bats and the 2015 pitchers and players. What a night,
Low key, Elvis Andrus choked really hard on defense in that seventh, could’ve made all three plays and should’ve made two for sure
Packers11 _ totally
Kind of like the Bucks, should’ve won the series but blew it hard 😂
Cory Uh, you know Packers11_ might be a Milwaukee Bucks fan..
@@fiveminuterice3573 You were saying???
@@RytheCodplayer oh please. They won against teams that were hurt. Congrats on the championship tho 😂
In 2015 I went down to Texas for game 3. The Blue Jays were down 0-2. We went through the pregame tailgates and got chirped hard about being the "boo jays" and "down 2-0". The Blue Jays went on to win the two games in Texas then the bat flip happened in game 5. Then in 2016 Blue Jays swept the Rangers.
In conclusion, it's always best to not assume it's in the bag after two games. The Blue Jays came back to win 6 in a row. Three in a row to win 2015, then another three straight in 2016 for the sweep. Karma at it's finest.
10/14/2020 marks 5 years of this ABSOLUTE BOMB! Greatest moment in Toronto sports HISTORY!!!!
Watched this game in person it was awesome. Here I am watching it on TH-cam
This the best 7th inning of a baseball game ever. Had everything.
What a moment as a Jay fan!!!!! Still gives me the chills in the 7th.
craziest fans ever, I miss days like this man
BEST BAT FLIP in the history of the game.... & most appropriate!
True Jays fan... 4 years already... wow 😮
💪🏼🔥🔝
If Toronto lost this game, the narrative would have been about the top of the 7th inning with the Sin Soo-Choo bat play. I remember with seeing this game live and being upset about it, but then seeing Jose’s bomb I was so happy seeing that, and I’m not a Blue Jays fan. I’m a Braves fan and haven’t seen much of them doing anything but this is one of the greatest moments all time in baseball
Cant believe this is a Toronto baseball crowd. Shapiro needs to view this video and learn what is possible in Toronto if he were not such a buzz killer. Rangers deserved every inch of that bat toss. Go Jays Go!
I watched this live
All I can say is WTF??????
Me too, he dicked slapped that ball
How long was the game in real time?
You should check out the interview Talkin' Baseball had with Dale Scott. He was the home plate umpire for that game, it is really interesting to get his perspective. Coincidentally, he was also on the crew for their series the following season when Bautista got rocked by Odor.
This was one of the first Post-Season games I watched and remember from beginning to end and to this day is probably the game that really got me more interested in Baseball than I already was.
Dale Scott, you were paid to throw this game right.
2:14:03 is why your all here
Joseph Veeck Pretty Much lol
you're*
rodzor it works both ways in that sentence
i wanted to see the whole 7th inning. i forgot about the fantastic defensive play josh donaldson made to get the 2nd out.
Honestly i come here just to see josh hamilton play i never got to see him play ever
Coming here after the jays losing the wild card, reliving amazing moments
Don't forget, Edwin hit an absolute bomb in the 6th inning too!
2:40:54 Ipad guy
I've watched "The Inning" countless times. Admist all the drama, I've never understood how Andrus stayed in after 3 straight errors. Boy, you're sitting the rest of the game. I don't care how embarassing it is to pull a fielder like that.
Three straight errors, but not all by him.
Shaun Siemas that’s not how any of this works
And he was thrown out stealing to end a rally in the 2nd, just an awful game
The 1st 'error' n the bottom of the 7th was a hit. It was hit hard almost straight up the middle which would require a tremendous play to make the out.
The 2nd was the 1st baseman because he put the ball in the dirt and rushed his throw.
I think he was charged with two errors, but could have been three.
maybe the craziest 7th inning in baseball history-one of the most fascinating innings, period. I can't think of any others that would top this
One of the greatest games of all time.
El mejor 7 de toda la historia del beisbol, cuantas emociones juntas. Gracias a todos ustedes por brindarnos ese espectacular juego.
2:14:02 one of the most controversial sports moments in recent sports history
And this is the first time I’ve seen the full game
How was it controversial?
Creedence Bakken before this batters were never supposed to celebrate a home run because childish pitchers couldnt take the heat. Now its a regular thing
@@lukecanning94 oh lmao 😂😂
Love that swing @ 1:33:30
Probably my fav hit of all time the way he just tries to kill that poor ball! lol and there's just something about the way he gets ready for a pitch hes so locked in
6:34 prince fielder with an infield single that scores Delino desheilds
36:37 shin soo choo with a solo home run to take a 2 run lead
50:10 Jose Bautista with a double that scores Ben revere
1:33:28 Edwin encarnacion with a solo home run to tie it
1:44:24 russel Martin throws ball off of shin soo choo’s hand and the ball skips across the infield and rougned odor scores
2:11:48 josh Donaldson with a bloop single that scores pillar to tie it
2:14:03 Jose Bautista with a three run home run to take the lead
2:53:57 Roberto osuna strikes out will venable and the blue jays advance to the ALCS
LETS GO BLUE JAYS

Who's watching this in this quarantine time !?
When baseball is at its best, there is no sport like it!....moments like this will never be forgotten.
Anyone have a link to an archived version of the Jays radio broadcast with Jerry and Joe? They called this game so well...
I would SO LOVE to hear the full thing too, but there are a few sound bits located here
soundcloud.com/sportsnet590-the-fan
Ugh I would love that also!
thank god the jays didnt hit any more infield ground balls in the 7th
Why am I getting this recommended? Its October 25h 2019
Lol yah
Because no one should ever forget the greatest inning (arguably) this millenium.
Same haha it is december 2019
It is Christmas Day and I got this in my recommendation
One of the best games in MLB history.
Me watching andrus first error. :”so this is where it starts”
Except for Joe Carter’s legendary WS winning homer in ‘93, the Bautista blast is the loudest that stadium has ever been
looking back at this gives me chills
Osuna's pray after that last strikeout was pretty sick!
How could dyson even have the balls to try to argue with encarnacion after giving up such a bomb
Uhhhhh that was Bautista
Anonymous Anonymity nah watch is he was mad an edwin bc he thought edwin was hyping the crowd but was really trying to calm them down
@@anonymousanonymity2815 Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you're wrong..............DIPSHIT

Hot damn, what a game.
Had to rewatch for 8 year anniversary! Will go down as one of the craziest games in history. That jays team was such a great bunch - won’t see that again
2:19:20 the cop on the left. Lol...throw whomever u want. u gotta love the game.
ANYONE CAN GO!!!
ALL OF YOU!! YOU , YOU , YOU & YOU!!
You could stay

1:36:00 that subtle fist bump from manager to player was too epic and underappreciated
2:02:49 José Bautista moving on deck.
skip 5 years later, the players that were once there, are no longer there. :(
Legend has it that Harold Reynolds is still telling Kenny Albert to stop throwing beer bottles from the upper deck to this day.
The 2nd biggest L in Texas Rangers history 💀
This was by far the most entertaining ball game in history. I’m neither a fan of either team, just look at the fire power on both teams. Blue jays deserved it, but what could have been for the Texas rangers
i could watch this over a million times
That homer still gives me the chills
2:19:56 if there’s one person I feel bad for, it’s that man right there. Deserved the world for his amazing personality and didn’t need to be beat down to the ground like that.
I was at a final job interview when this was going on. Hotel bar in NYC. Place went bonkers. Well deserved for both teams. Rangers gave that game away. Blue Jays took advantage. Rangers became cry babies. Well done, Toronto!!!!
why was the interview so late in the evening, or was the interview the next day?
Both teams were crybabies. The Jays and their fans did plenty of crying before they came back. And I'm saying this as someone who is not a Rangers fan.
This is honestly a perfect post-season baseball game. I'm maybe a bit biased though, as a Toronto fan lol
This is my favourite all time baseball game. today’s game jays vs twins was so good it made me think of this on I just to watch it again. I feel a lot calmer than when I watched it live. I was hoarse from screaming. I was sure I would never watch baseball again.
BEST GAME EVER NOTHING CAN BEAT THIS GO BLUE JAY'S !!!!!
Joey bats loved Canada and we loved him right back.
Did this dude skip work to see this game 33:38
Probably
First inning: I went to a baseball game....
Seventh inning: ... and a soccer match broke out.
This moment will be remembered forever and ever. Jbat
i’m not a jays fan but this hypes me up so much
Joey batts bat flop is the best thing ever in that area of blue jays grains
I could watch this daily......I miss this team but hopefully 2023 will be great !
The collective “YEAHHH” of 50,000 people is one of the greatest sounds ever.
Wao, que juego, gracias a todos por darnos la oportunidad de vivir esto, junto a todos ustedes,
I’m not even a Rangers fan and I always feel so bad for them because they get so close but they just can’t come through
Ik it’s TERRIBLE
Yea terrible, great word to describe the rangers🤣🤣🤣😂
I’m a jays fan so I don’t feel that bad 😁😂
Brandon Jackson why u bully me
That's what choke artists do.
7th inning starts at 1:38:53:)
