@ClassicPhilliesTV…as I’m watching this, it occurred to me to ask: have you ever thought of doing this same type of merging of radio audio and TV video for any other classic Phillies games? First that come to mind is 1980 NLCS Game 4 , 1980 WS game 5 and 6, and the Kalas call of Schmidt’s 11th inning HR to clinch the NL EAST (the only audio I’ve ever heard is the Andy Musser feed). I don’t recall seeing any of the above (with Phillies announcers) but if I’m mistaken, please direct me to where I can find them. THANKS…and keep up the GREAT work!!
Looks like it's from a different source, possibly ? Less video compression too. I ly thing with this one is the aspect ratio is cropped to make it fill the screen, I prefer the original aspect ratio but I'm not complaining I'm glad to have the game in such excellent quality. BTW have you seen Dave Volskys channel? The best quality vintage games I've seen so far@@AMEER-114-
This game never gets old. What a classic . I love all of the Phillies old announcers. This game gets me ready for baseball season!! Thanks for posting this classic.
I remember we were leaving for our summer family vacation so I got to hear the first inning and a half on the radio in the car and then we got far enough away we lost WGN. Didn't learn what happened until I saw the paper the next day.
Oh the days of Hearing the Phil’s on WDEL in Wilmington Del. The nights of having my Dog King next to me, In bed listening to the games is something I will NEVER forget. Kalas & Ashburn were FANTASTIC..
@@tlist1970What do you mean? Cut them in half distance wise? Even if distance is what you are cutting, how does that increase his home run totals; wouldn’t it reduce his home run numbers. Please explain the logic behind your statement.
Thankyou for even "Syncing" the radio broadcast with this! And what is remarkable about this game is : the amount of runs scored,plate appearances by so many players, and the number of pitchers used all was accomplished in 4 hours!
Wow awesome I love the games from the 70s early 80s, I thought this channel did mostly 90s. It's all Good . Great to see the players I used to emulate and had cards for. Loved Mike Schmidt! Tug McGraw, Gary Maddox, My favorites were Rod Carew, Thurman Munson etc. Not Phillies but I liked the Phillies alot, Pittsburgh Pirates Willie Srargell. Is see Pete Rose awesome stuff.
This why my generation of the 80s and 90s loves baseball. Just the game. No nonsense, guady annoying music, silly accessories, or commentators talking about stuff other than baseball. Watxhimg current Masn telecasts or Orioles games is really depressing. Unbalanced shedule needs to go. Interleagie play can go. Led boards should at least look like a scoreboard but they dont, instead uswd for ads and crowd primpting.junk. a nice game thanks again. How many ppl are face in thier phone instaed of watching and living? Now we got neta seperating ua from.the game thanks mlb. Not a fan of those nets.
AGREE with everything you said except I would designate 60’s, 70’s, & most of 80’s as the golden era. Game was so much purer back then. So sick of the: ghost runner, pitch clock, bullpen games, Taking pitchers out after 5 inns. w/a no-hitter, analytics, no blocking the plate, and the death of small ball and manufacturing runs. The only good thing that has happened in the last 60+ years is REPLAY…to finally show - IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS - how terrible the umpires are AND were back in the day. Other than that, the game has devolved into a PATHETIC shell of its former self!! SO DAMN SAD!!!!!
Baseball was such a better game to watch back then. Interesting that the Cubs had two guys play, Buckner and Donny Moore, who had infamous finishes to their careers,
Funny thing about this game. It wasn't even televised in the Philadelphia area. They ended up showing it like a week later on WPHL under the title of Shootout in Chicago(kind of apropos considering Chicago's current state of affairs). So we were reduced to listening to this on the radio(KYW carried the Phils in those days IIRC). Also, after winning this game the Phils were 24-10 and 3 1/2 games in first. The rest of the season was down hill as they went 60-68 the rest of the way and finished in 4th place and Danny Ozark was replaced by Dallas Green.
My recollection is similar to yours but I'm not sure if it was as long a wait as you describe. I thought they rebroadcasted the game that night but it's been almost 45 years so maybe it was later than that. I do remember bouncing a superball off the wall of my parents' garage and listening to the game on my Getty Gas portable AM/FM radio. KYW carried the Phillies well into the 1980s. I listened to Andy Musser (the main PBP announcer on the radio when the Phillies were on TV) when I was backpacking (briefly) in the area of Southwestern Virginia/ Northeastern Tennesse in the summer of 1983. Same Getty Gas portable radio IIRC.
As I recall, on the re-broadcast on TV, they also re-did the audio. That is, Harry and Richie re-announced it as if it were the first time they were seeing it and Richie in particular got very lazy about pretending he didn't already know what was going to happen. I seem to remember that on one of the two triples in the game Richie declared it a triple before the runner was even around first base!
I don't remember that at all. I was a freshman in college at that time and I'm almost positive I watched the entire game in real time on the TV in my Atlantic City apartment that I shared with a friend. For some reason in those days Yankees games would be telecast in the Atlantic City area which I didn't question at the time.
This is great. Thanks for so.many great ball.games in my fav. Era.of basebll before un matching belts, stirrup socks and shoes.polished nicely Goofy ads on everything, and silly rule changes. When life was good. Basebal was an American game then. I do wish Philly would wearblue road jerseys on the road instead of at home...
Dave kingman made Mike Schmidt look like a singles hitter.kong rules.my favorite cub of all time.the whole stadium stopped everytime he came up.and 442 times he jacked it out of there.he was the modern babe ruth.without steroids.
Yeah Phil. Schmidt out-homered Kingman by 106 over their careers, also without steroids. And in this game, Schmidt was walked intentionally twice or three times; that's how much the Cubs feared him. Oh, and who hit the game winning home run...? Yeah: Michael Jack Schmidt. I loved watching Kingman; he was awesome. But he didn't out-anything Mike Schmidt.
1:38:53 Rose tags up from second on a routine fly ball to center with an 11 run lead. Always trying to get an extra base. Paid off as he scores on a sacrifice fly the next batter (Greg Gross).
If the modern Phillies would have played with that type of attitude, they might easily have had one or two more titles. The inability or unwillingness to master and play small ball led DIRECTLY to their elimination the last two years!!!
How times have changed. Runners being able to ditch their helmets and Pete Rose & Bake McBride wearing helmets without ear flaps. And no change of baseballs when the ball hits the dirt.
No lights at Wrigley Field; and NO DH in the NL. One of my favorite games was played at Wrigley. Three years before they installed field lights, Pete Rose (by then a Red again) got his 4.191st hit, equaling Ty Cobb's record. The Reds and Cubs played to a 5-5 tie. Later, we found out that Cobb actually had 4,189 hits, so technically Rose broke the hit record at Wrigley.
Replacement Umpire contributed a lot to this slugfest with a tight strike zone. Phillies did a lot of damage against 2 future closers in Donnie Moore and Willie Hernandez
Just some MLB history lesson, especially between the Phillies-Cubs-Wrigley: The highest scoring game in MLB history (both teams runs combined) was also, ironically, a Cubs-Phillies game, It was back in 1922 in Wrigley Field as well (back then it was called "Cubs Park") Cubs won that 1922 game with the score of 26-23 , except that that 1922 game didnt go to extra innings like this 1979 game did Cubs in that 1922 game had two innings scoring 10+ runs That 1922 game was looking like blowout and looking like a forgettable game overall, until the Phillies started to get close in the 8th and 9th innings, when they scored 14 runs combined. Phillies surprisingly had a two run lead after the top of the 2nd inning in that 1922 game. In that 1922 game, only 3 home runs were hit, all by the Cubs. In comparison, in this 1979 game, 11 home runs were hit (6 by the Phillies, 5 by the Cubs) In the 1922 game, Cubs were winning that game at one point 25-6, so if the Cubs lost that game/Phillies won that game, it would have been the biggest comeback/meltdown in MLB history (19 runs). As of the end of the 2024 season, the biggest run comeback differential is 12 runs, done by three teams, with the last one being the most famous when the 2001 Mariners (who won 116 games in 2001) lost a game in Cleveland. So Cubs-Phillies in 1922 AND 1979 are the only two times in MLB history that two teams played a game in which both teams scored at least 20 runs in the same game. Everything above is as of the end of the 2024 season. And on a footnote = In the 1976 season, Phillies played a game against the Cubs in Wrigley. In that game, Phillies were losing by 11 runs. And then the Phillies won in extra innings, with the score of 18-16. Mike Schmidt hit 4 home runs in this game, including the go-ahead-home-run in the 10th inning that gave the Phillies the eventual extra-inning-win, like he did also in the 1979 game when he hit the go-ahead-home-run in the 10th inning.
Once Dallas Green becomes GM in Chicago the number jumps up. The 1984 Cubs had a bunch of ex-Phillies on the team. I think some folks referred to them as "The Phillies West" at some point in 1984. Matthews, Dernier, Moreland, Bowa, Sandberg, and I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.
This is Chicago (WGN) video with Phillies radio play by play. It's a great version because we don't have to hear Jack Brickhouse call one of the most unforgettable Phillies games in history.
