Andrew Helton I was at the May 27 2009 game. Zambrano got booted. I was walking down from cheap seats and kept hearing Cheers. It was cold as Alska that day and why we left early. Crowd was down to 70%. By the time I made it out front gate the cubs came back in the 9th and won...the noise was awesome. My son's first cubs game.
@@SupermanHopkins Snow is nothing. I first went to Wrigley in 1959. I've endured a lifetime of misery. My parents were born in 1912 and 1914, and each of them passed away -- my mother at 97 -- without having seen the Cubs win a World Series. You either love this poetic game, or you don't. You either love baseball or you love, at least, whatever the hell it was the Cubs were often playing.
I'm not even a Cubs fan, but if you're a baseball fan and anything but a Nats fan (or in this case, Brewers too), you have to agree that this is bad-ass cool, fun to watch.
Remember as a kid creating this situation out loud as you're at the plate? "It's the bottom of the 9th, Cubs are down 3 - 0, bases are loaded for (plug your name in there), he's got 2 strikes against him and there are two outs, The crowd looks on in anticipation, here comes the pitch...OH MY GOD HE'S DONE IT!!!!! A GRAND SLAM!!!! HOLY COW!!! CUBS WIN!!! CUBS WIN!!!! (plug your name in) has just hit a grand slam to win the World Series for the Cubbies! Truly every kids fantasy, so happy for Bote and the Cubs - Great come from behind victory.
We've all dreamed about this. David Bote lived it. In his rookie year. Replacing a former MVP on IR. One of the greatest moments to bless the Friendly Confines. And that's saying something. David Bote, no matter what happens from here on out, you're a Cub forever.
Whats readiculus is that Jason Heyward did the exact same thing. Bases loaded, 2 strikes, 2 outs, grandslam, way over 400ft, just as many fans in the croud. But since it was only a 2 run deficit instead of 3 run deficit. Its talked about a lot less. But the way I see it, is even though the cubs have chooked every season after there world sieres. Those two walk offs and the many other walk offs the Cubs had in that season is a record that will never be broken. And history that is so isain the fact that it happened just goes over everybody heads.
@@danielfinley2409 if I'm remembering the same HR as you are, I believe Heyward's was a 3-run homer, not a Grand Slam. There could be another one that I'm forgetting though.
Eric Dodson do it. I've been blessed to be born and raised 2 1/2 hours from Wrigley. She is a time machine, and more beautiful than all other ballparks combined. Go Cubs Go
This game and the game the day before were my first games at Wrigley Field, and holy cow what a night I’ll never forget. I can’t believe the history that I witnessed here, the biggest play you can imagine in the game of baseball, and by a rookie pinch hitter to boot. I didn’t see any David Bote jerseys for sale in the Cubs store before the game, but I bet tomorrow they won’t be able to stock enough to keep on the racks. The few people who decided to leave early will tell lies for the rest of their lives about when they saw this game.
some guy on a Cubs facebook fan page was talking crap about how bad our pitching was and that we lost 3-0, you can imagine the ripping he got from the real fans who stayed to witness the Super Grand Slam (only the 29th in MLB history)
Eventually, I will watch this as many times as I've watched 5th inning of game 5 of last year's NLDS. Thank you, Nats, for the memories! Oh, and for filling up my TH-cam "Favorites" folder.
Before tonight, just 28 players in Major League history have connected for an "ultimate grand slam" -- a grand slam coming with that player's team down by three runs for the final at-bat. Tonight, David Bote joins that list as the 29th player.
BlackKnight03 And considering it came on game point (the final strike)...damn. Braves, Cardinals, and more rejoice for a day; Nationals and Brewers are not happy. But still better than a month and a half to go.
No no no we don't need Harper we have enough position players and they can hit just work on the pitching we need another starter can't count on chat wood or darvish Lester will fine down the stretch what an addition of Hamel and kinzler PLEASE CUBS CONCENTRATE ON PITCHING
Im 36 years old, been a cubs fan for 30 of those years and i cant recall a more thrilling finish to ANY game the Cubs have played in my entire life other than of course Game 7 WS
That was an amazing comeback win! Watching this grand slam kinda reminds me of Miguel Montero's pinch hit grand slam in the 2016 NLCS against the Dodgers
After a brilliant performance by Scherzer, we all thought we were headed to be shut-out... What a call by Vasgersian...just chills! Walk-off Slam @ Wrigley is everyone’s dream! #❤️
If this doesn't propel them into getting ahead of the Brewers on Tuesday and Wednesday and beating them into the ground then nothing will after a big win like this.
Cubs starting pitching is a big question mark with Jon Lester pitching like a pinata getting whack since the All-Star break. I think he has a tired arm. The Cubs will be lucky if Lester gets three quality starts from this point on until the season ends. Only Cole Hamel is consistent with the pitching
Michael Takahashi I know you haven’t been a big fan of baseball for too long being a cubs fan but if you think the cardinals issues are pitching related you are an idiot lol.
Michael Takahashi Our rotation has allowed like 7 runs in the past 5 games lmao. If the offense can produce and the bullpen stays the way it has been since the reconstruction of said bullpen cardinals could win the division and or get a wildcard at the very least. Cubs starting rotation is absolutely horrid lmaoooooo
Very uncharacteristically of myself, I "gave up" and turned off the game in a fit of pessimistic disappointment after Zimmerman's 2-run hit in the top of the 9th. Boy, do I feel like a big 'ol dummy. Lesson learned, Professor Bote. I'll never give up on these Cubbies again.
@steve b Lying about what? That I turned off the game? Or lying about how it's uncharacteristic of me to do so? or lying about how I felt like a big 'ol dummy? or lying about how I won't give up on them again like that? Please specify.

I live a few blocks from Wrigley. Mesmerizing game, Scherzer is absolutely inhuman. Pretty sure my entire apartment building heard my roommate and I cheering after Bote's grand slam.!
Just hearing the words “David Bote waits on deck for Chicago” around 10:09 is such the perfect example of hindsight being 20/20 ..... but “and now the /WINNING/ run will dig in at the plate” at 11:14 is so much better
You can see how the fans stick it out til the end just like the players. Most parks would be empty 3 runs up going into the last 3 outs just like most teams would pack it in. I love my Chicago sports ❤️🤍💙
Ripping through the league like a juggernaut off the rails.. Hair flippers sulking off into the sunset.. World class veterans with their proverbial ass in both hands.. That's Cub.
Bote one of the Next Young soon to be Superstars and thank God for Daniel Murphy being brought in to The Cubs...it will be Great to see him hit for the cubs instead of killing the cubs....2019 should be a Superstar TEAM I say that with CAPITAL LETTERS for the Chicago Cubs and we definitely feel like World Series Contenders again in 2018....they will become A DYNASTY, like the Pittsburgh steelers and Dallas Cowboys of the 80s and like the Chicago Bulls of the 90s.
I remember thinking that somehow we might win this game especially after seeing us come back down 10-2 against the braves that season and against the Mariners 6-0 in the magical 2016 season. We never quit!!
Cubs down by 3 in the bottom of the ninth, stadium still 90% full. Great fans!!!!!!
Agree :D

He crushed it too! 442 to straight away center!
Big Greg yup. Bote has one of the highest exit velocities in the majors
I thought he had the highest exit velocity 🤔🤔
Jeremiah Mack he may very well now I just remember a bit ago he was one of the top
xXSIMPSXx yeah whether he has the highest or not doesnt matter lol because he hits tanks, the guy is a freaking monster and cubs better keep him 💯
Jeremiah Mack yup. It's gonna be tough when Bryant's back it's hard to justify sending him back to AAA
I'll always love how loud the fans get at Wrigley. What an amazing night
I was there and it was great

It is i.love baseball games like that .its make baseball exciting.to go see and watch on tv

I've said before and I'll say it again the Cubs have the best fanbase... EVER.

I was born and raised in California, i discovered the Cubs via WGN i've been a fan since 1984, can't wait to get to Wrigley to see a game live
Eric Dodson nice to me ya.
Darryl Jenks Go Cubs Go while you let your Soul Glo!!!!!
Eric Dodson do it. I've been blessed to be born and raised 2 1/2 hours from Wrigley. She is a time machine, and more beautiful than all other ballparks combined. Go Cubs Go
Chad Anding It's glowing
Contreras' at-bat was important. He took his time and messed with the timing of Ryan Madson, frustrating him.
After years of heartbreak, Cubs fans are sure getting their money's worth.
They won in 2016
Now the bears and bulls are next
I was there! It was soooooooo loud!!!!!!!!!!! Go Cubs!!!!!
Caleb Miller me too
I dont beleive you guys because i was there and i didnt see either of you......

Stone O'Bryant yeah but for a single play I don’t know that you can top this, even an unassisted triple play
Eventually, I will watch this as many times as I've watched 5th inning of game 5 of last year's NLDS. Thank you, Nats, for the memories! Oh, and for filling up my TH-cam "Favorites" folder.

Cardinals aren't happy to. That just means they didn't go up a game.
FIRST PINCH HITTER WITH TWO STRIKES AND TWO OUTS
99Wolves 17 Oh, there'll be some grins on Cardinals faces. Even if they gained no ground. Besides, the wild cards are in play. 😊😊
I was watching this live and had to rewind it multiple times. I'm glad that the entire half inning is posted.
Best moment of the year so far for the Cubs. So fucking cool.
Me and my family were jumping up and down, hugging each other as soon as we saw it sail over the wall. Unbelievable moment. WOW!
Imagine World Series Game 7 down by 3 last strike "DID HE GET IT DID HE GET IT SANTA MARIA"
The upper deck would collapsed
Or, as Joe Buck would call it, "Grand slam home run, Cubs win the World Series."
I could do without the "SANTA MARIA!"
IlGreven that’s too much emotion
The world would explode
Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Holy Cow!
The entire unedited Cubs 9th inning in real time...thanks MLB!
What a Freaking Game. David THE GOAT Bote :D
Videogamelover58 *david the goatie
gote
David "The Boat" Bote
Videogamelover58 that’s right GO CUBS
One of the Greatest moments in Cubs History and one of the Greatest comebacks in MLB history. Bote your A Cub forever my friend.
That call by Matt Vasgertan tho! 15:00
IS THIS REAL LIFE!?!?! #flythew
CZsWorld holy shit your'e a Cubs fan?
Haven't you seen all my Cubs hats and stuff in the videos? Haha
No, it's just fantasy. #CubsRhapsody
Eric VanSickle beat me to it 😂😂😂💀 💀
Fly ball to center at the wall it's gone AND YOU SHOULD SEE THE CELEBRATION
Best team in NL period.
K Vo world series for sure
LOLOL. Dude hits the biggest home run of the Cubs season so far and gets strip searched at home plate. LOVE IT!!
SANTA MARIA!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍💪💪💪
I thought Matt Vasgersian was at Fox.
He was. Took over Sunday Night Baseball PBP this year, and also still does analysis on MLB.
I'm glad they get Hamels, hopefully Lester gets it together and the starting pitching gets better.
If Darvish ever gets healthy and Lester gets out of his funk that will be a pretty wicked rotation
Yeah, then I'd feel much better entering the playoffs.
Thank you MLB for posting this!! Awesome!
The legend of David Bote continues.
This is now the only thing I watch on your kind of I can’t get over how pumped I was
I keep watching the last 1 1/2 minutes over and over. This game does have a 2016 feel to it!! Let's GO!!
Watching this live in my dorm room live I’m a NYY fan but this was freaking awesome
Love this. Thanks Cubbies. Sincerely, every Braves fan ever. #NatsSwatted
Bote needs to stay for good! #FlyTheW
He's been helping Kris Bryant a lot and he feels to be the MVP and he feels to be the MVP and that is a good thing
On one random night in August, this guy became a Cubs legend.
15:37 Bryce Harper looking up at the jumbotron like, "yep, that could be me next year"
pls no
Lol he’s like “ they don’t sound like this where I play” 🤔😂
Fuck. No. Keep Harper as far away as possible from Wrigley
xXSIMPSXx agreed
No no no we don't need Harper we have enough position players and they can hit just work on the pitching we need another starter can't count on chat wood or darvish Lester will fine down the stretch what an addition of Hamel and kinzler PLEASE CUBS CONCENTRATE ON PITCHING

"Santa Maria..WALKOFF SLAM!!"
One of the best games I’ve ever watched live😤👍🏻
Rock the Bote!
I was there and i keep rewatching cause i still am in shock
David bote definitely an all star in the near future even next season possibly if he can keep this energy up
Let that man play more 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏💪💯CHICAGO BABY LETS KEEP IT GOING LETS GO🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🇩🇴
I LOVE the bat flip. My boy knew immediately that ball was gone.
Matt Vasgersian > Joe Buck
Matt C literal dogshit > Joe Buck
Squidward Tentacles 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 (I'm dead, bruh...)
No kidding lol
Agreed Matt.. he should do world series calls from now on. Love his Santa Maria calls
No truer words have ever been spoken
Nearly three years later and still get chills when Bote gets his pitch. Awesome moment for him and the team.
The only thing bad about this was ESPN was covering :(
The dislikes are from angry nats fans
Or Brewers fans
Or Joe Buck fans
Don’t forget Cardinals and White Sox fans. :D
Or Yankee Fans or Red Sox Fans
Lol
Never get rid of this video please.
It's still amazing to think that this was the first and only Cubs game that I have experienced at Wrigley. It was such an adrenaline rush.
Gotta get that Bote jersey now 🔥
Watching in 2020! historical BLAST!! I think Bote slept couple hours that night since his adrenaline was so high!!
If this doesn't propel them into getting ahead of the Brewers on Tuesday and Wednesday and beating them into the ground then nothing will after a big win like this.
But they are going to start playing against the Nats, Brewers and Dodgers starting tomorrow, so I'm not really worried about them yet...

the way contreras is able to draw that walk is amazing
Matt adams was like: what the actual f lmao
This video will NEVER get old no matter how many times you watch it
I was there, feet away from where he crushed it. One of the most electrifying games I’ve ever been to and it was my wife’s first Cubs game!
The Nina, the Pinta and the SANTA MARIA!! :D
As the late, great Mel Allen used to say, "How 'bout that?"
Not even a cubs fan but this gave me goosebumps... wow
Very uncharacteristically of myself, I "gave up" and turned off the game in a fit of pessimistic disappointment after Zimmerman's 2-run hit in the top of the 9th. Boy, do I feel like a big 'ol dummy. Lesson learned, Professor Bote. I'll never give up on these Cubbies again.
SnarlyCharly me too. Was following it most of the game and turned my phone off. Then checked back like half hour later and was like HOLY SHIT!!
SnarlyCharly ,don't feel bad,I did same at same time practically,as u said... lesson learned,Go Cubs Go!
I had it on mute the whole game. Until the last five minutes and Aroid was still talking about Difo!

I was watching this game and I went nuts with this grand slam!
That's cool to watch David Bote's walk off grand slam at the bottom of the 9th on on Sunday, August 12th, 2018.

2016 baby. The Cubs are back. Let''s go.
The magic of baseball and it was 3-0 lead with 2 outs
I live a few blocks from Wrigley. Mesmerizing game, Scherzer is absolutely inhuman. Pretty sure my entire apartment building heard my roommate and I cheering after Bote's grand slam.!
This is the beauty of the great game of baseball. Anything can happen.
The catcher gets me every time after Bote hit it. Go cubs
Just hearing the words “David Bote waits on deck for Chicago” around 10:09 is such the perfect example of hindsight being 20/20 ..... but “and now the /WINNING/ run will dig in at the plate” at 11:14 is so much better
I'll never forget this game, I woke my fiancé up from a deep slumber on the couch right next to me!! I was screaming like a little girl! Iconic game.
Back...Back....Back..... GOOONE!!! ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
This game was amazing
The swing that ended the Nats season
MAMMA MIA !!! GO CUBS from Lima, Perú Go Cubs YES!!!
ESPN's a joke if they don't put that at 1 on there top 10
Amen
OMG... it was #10!! what a joke. A Nats fan must be in charge of ranking the plays yesterday. WTF
They are a joke regardless.
top 3 Cubs wins:
Game 7, 2016 World Series
The Sandberg Game
The Bote Game
honorable mention: Lester 12th inning bunt
One of those moments down by 3, walk off grand slam
Last minute miracle!!!
You can see how the fans stick it out til the end just like the players. Most parks would be empty 3 runs up going into the last 3 outs just like most teams would pack it in. I love my Chicago sports ❤️🤍💙
Not a cubs fan, but what - a - game
I love how the catcher lifts his head, see the exit trajectory of the ball, and then just looks away. He probably knew it was gone before anyone else.
Aight as a Dodger fan I feel slightly better about giving up that 3 run walkoff yesterday lol
Ripping through the league like a juggernaut off the rails.. Hair flippers sulking off into the sunset.. World class veterans with their proverbial ass in both hands.. That's Cub.

Wasnt a bad pitch. He just went down and got the barrel on it.
JarvisLas Crawford The swing looked a little similar to Albert Pujols, too. And we know how many bombs he's launched during his career.
Johnathan Patrick ya Bote has one of the highest exit velocities in the majors
Ah, the good old days.
watch this with a few beers in ya...doesnt matter who's your team....geeeeeez........................... just awesome
W/ many years of hindsight: that was a GENIUS at-bat by Willson Contreras! 10000% BB IQ right there!
At 17:06 you can see Bill Murray reacting like the rest. Pretty cool.
