  • Don Zimmer fights with umpire Jerry Crawford in 1989, Cubs vs. Reds game. I was actually at this game, as a Cubs fan. We went to Kings Island during the day and to Riverfront that night. I'd set the VCR timer to record it. Thank goodness I did. As Harry Carey says, this is priceless. Harry and Steve Stone on the call. I didn't see it already out there on YT so I wanted to be the first to upload it. Enjoy!
    I ran across this archive article regarding the ejection. articles.chicagotribune.com/19...

    Two things that still amaze me in this video is the incredible camera work by Arne Harris and his crew, and how Zimmer and Jerry Crawford were able to keep the gum in their mouth through the whole thing.

    A story about Jerry Crawford. Mr. Crawford was the home plate umpire for a game I attended. At the end of the game, Mr. Crawford gets to the top step of the dugout, sees a few kids sitting nearby, and empties his pockets, rolling all of his unused baseballs in to the stands for the kids to have. I haven't seen an umpire do that since. It was a great gesture on his part.

      @sfmc98 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I've seen kids hit up Angel Hernandez for balls but he didn't have any to give. As much hate as he gets, and poor as an umpire he might be I actually do think think he's a decent person. I wouldn't be surprised if he gives them out to kids.

      ​@@sfmc98glad to see you say something like this. I got tired of seeing people being more than happy to take the opportunity to gang up on a guy. so i called some people out on it. And naturally got attacked a little myself. I dont have any problem w him or any other umpire being evaluated on their work, even w it being less than favorable. But when multiple people, within the specific conversation(let alone over the last year, through various forums) have already stated how you feel, and youre not adding anything to the convo particular to a questionable in game moment.. basically jumping in just to talk **** in a group, about one person, is cheap and usually makes you look worse for doing so. When its done distastefully like this and over the internet, i cant help but to see it as downright cowardly. At that point i feel i gotta speak out because people like that just arent willing to self evaluate unless you trigger them w words like coward. Especially those that over embrace the negative for toxic reasons they've yet to become privy to. I dont really relish taking on such a role. I push myself to because ive done the biting my tongue thing and that aint gettin it done either.
      Props to you for being willing to talk less than negatively about a guy so popularly hated.

    This is utterly amazing on so many levels. First, seeing Zimmer blow a gasket was always hilarious. He was always one of my favorite baseball personalities - regardless of which team he was coaching or managing.
    Then, I must admit that Jerry Crawford gets credit for not backing down. I agree with Steve Stone that he was too "hasty" in giving Zim the boot, but once the fight was on, he stood his ground. He was a very imposing umpire.
    Like so many others have mentioned, the camera work here is magnificent. And Harry and Steve not talking while all of this was happening shows their appreciation for the moment. They didn't distract. When it was over, their commentary was spot-on.
    While it would not be good if these kind of fights happened all the time, they can be very amusing on occasion. This is one of the very best.

      Nowadays, the umpires have clearly been told they can't give it right back to the managers. I hate that. They are both grown men on the field and we now have this viewpoint where people think they are so "enlightened." "Oh the umpires have to be deescalate" Why? The manager has to deescalate himself as a grown adult. Who doesn't love a good umpire argument? They are an absolute snore now. We are turning into a boring, humorless society where we try to knock down anything which is chaotic.

Even the way he calmly walks out to confront the umpire is epic lol. This is the kind of stuff that gave baseball personality.

The human element and the drama that ensues is great entertainment and adds character to the experience.

      People don't understand that baseball, in it's very core is funny. It's literally grown men playing a child's game. And then all the seemingly arbitrary parts about it, while frustrating if you're hoping your team will win, makes it even funnier. When you look back years later, like on this video, it's absolutely hilarious.
      The built in chaos of the game makes it so difficult to be good, and so much luck is involved, all you can do is laugh sometimes. The umpires are often a source of this chaos and humor, and that's a good thing.
      To argue for robo umps or taking any uncertainty out of the game is like taking one of the best shows on TV and saying, lets remove all the funny and dramatic parts and just watch people walk around.

      Exactly! It's so weird this obsession to "normalize" and "technologize" everything. This is a 150 year old game that had umpire arguments from day 1. When people say "I'm not here for the ump show" then they aren't here for baseball. This game would be boring if not for all the chaotic neutral parts of it, not least of which are different size ballparks, and different ground rules, judgment calls, a different strike zone for every umpire and yes even the unwritten rules. Everything that adds to the drama of baseball, it's very DNA, people in 2023 thinking of themselves as "enlightened" want to change about it.

    Why wouldn't any player want to bust his ass for a manager like that? And the Cubs did... winning the division in 1989 with a 93-69 record. The date of this game was 8/17/89. The Cubs scored one run in the 1st inning & led this game 1-0 all the way to the bottom of the 8th when Eric Davis hit a 2 out 2-run HR off starter Rick Sutcliffe. The first two Cubs were retired in the top of the 9th inning, but the Cubs rallied for 2 runs on Jerome Walton's 2-run single. The Cubs held on and won the game 3-2... and increased their lead to 4 1/2 games over the 2nd place Mets.

    I’m a Dodgers/Angles fan but I loved listening to Harry Caray on WGN (national broadcast) when the cubs would play. Next to He and Vin Scully are the voice of baseball.

    You know it's some serious shit when a manager shakes his own hat off during the argument.

    Arguing balls and strikes even from the dugout is an automatic ejection. Always has been. Awesome to hear Harry and Steve again!

      I don’t believe that became an automatic ejection until the 90s. Also to whoever said “ but he was arguing a check swing” : the rule applies to that as well

      +Trump...sorry Donald....the ump ruled he swung...that’s a strike....no can argue...RIP Zim

      Patrick B Arguing balls and strikes has ALWAYS been an automatic ejection if the ump chooses. We do not know if Zimmer had been chirping from the dugout all night and the ump said, "That's enough. One more time and you are gone" and Zim did it one more time.

      Jerry Crawford was one of the more level headed umps of his day. I imagine Zimmerman (RIP) used some magic words there too. But I agree, we need more people like him back in the game.

    You don't have this today in PC Baseball with the video replay. I sure miss the days of Dutch Rennert.

      Randy Marshall Dutch Rennert? Now that’s Ole School!!! I was just talking about Dutch the other day. That guy strike calls was funny.

    You really don't see this kind of arguing with umpires anymore. It's a lost art form.

      Lol someone should do a video of Zimmer leaving the dugout and walking out to the umpire to Stone Cold's entrance music with the glass breaking haha.
