Bob Gibson still holds records that will probably never be broken. I played today with my 'Bob Gibson' model Spalding. It's old but so am I. After 50 yrs it carries the memories. RIP my friend... Your legend lives on.
big cardinal fan from Arkansas, Brock and Gibson were my two favorite cardinal player's growing up ,would listen to cardinal baseball on kmox 1120 am radio down here in Arkansas,
You really put tears in my eyes as I watched all the MLB players that died and I got to many of them play. Great Job- Please keep doing it. I love baseball !
After seeing this list of names, it reminds me of not only my own childhood growing up back in the day, but also how time really DOES fly quickly in life. So live everyday like its the last b/c you just never know. And count your blessings while you are still here, b/c time moves fast & there's no guarantee tomorrow will ever come. Lot's of great ballplayers on this list. So depressing that we loss em in 2020.
This video appeared in my recommendations today, with former Pirates catcher Hal Smith appearing at the 6:52 mark. Just minutes after watching this, I saw that Foolish Baseball had put out a video today about Smith's homer in the 8th inning of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, calling it the most important hit in baseball history in terms of a team's chances of winning a title, but largely forgotten due to Bill Mazeroski's walkoff in the 9th inning of the same game. Well, Hal, your heroics are not forgotten today. RIP.
It's so sad that all these people died in 2020 I love these guys so much bye thank you so much for playing for all the teams that you have played for guys I will miss you all so much bye
Thank you so much for putting this out there. Sadly, we sometimes forget about the greats who made the game what it is, and we forget about because of the passage of time and history. My hat is off to all of these baseball icons. May they all RIP.
I always idolized Lou Brock and I will always treasure his autograph sad I never got bob gibsons autograph maybe the greatest pitcher ever may they both as well as everyone else on this list rip
This was heartbreaking to watch. You could field an All-Star team with just the players I watched growing up in the 1960’s who passed in 2020. Bob Gibson, Tom Seaver, Joe Morgan, Dick Allen, Al Kaline, Jimmy Wynn, Whitey Ford, Bob Watson, Lou Brock, Glenn Beckert, Denis Menke... my childhood baseball card collection. I miss the way the game used to be played - no DH, no putting a man at 2nd base in extra innings, the high mound, games that lasted only two hours, World Series games I ran home from school to watch being played in the afternoon. Those days are gone. Just because the time passes doesn’t mean progress. I’ll miss every one of these guys... they made my childhood better and made me dream of becoming one of them. Even though that didn’t happen, they’re presence in my life as a young boy made me want to be better at whatever I did. I’ll see you in the cornfield, fellas.
Apart from losing two heroes of mine (add to that Tom Seaver) Gibson and Brock are irreplaceable as Cardinal icons I am reminded how wonderful Topps baseball cards were for keeping us informed about baseball Gods.
Sure is, made me cry because as a boy I watched my team win the World Series in '86. This video sure does bring back memories, but let's hope they're playing ball up there.
All this really does is make me feel that I am getting old because alot of these guys were in there prime when I was a teen......so sad.....deaths door is getting waaay to close for these eyes.
Bob Watson scored MLB 1 millionth run on May 4th 1975. He sprinted around the bases and it was a good thing he did. He just barely beat Dave Concepcion who had homered at the exact same time. Both were shown in highlight reels sprinting as fast as they could. The next 1 millionth run won't be scored for at least another 70 years.
I omitted players who were only in the big leagues for a very short amount of time. Given that Aucoin appeared in just two MLB games, I chose not to include him. No disrespect intended, but there were a ton of guys who passed in 2020 who I omitted for this reason. RIP.

I had no idea we lost many great players in one year. Willie Mays just turned 90, Bless him!
Lucky to have #24 still amongst us.
This is an outstanding video; so many great pictures I’ve never seen before. Sad, but what a great tribute! Bravo!❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
A lot of these brought back some memories.
You really put tears in my eyes as I watched all the MLB players that died and I got to many of them play. Great Job- Please keep doing it. I love baseball !
Thanks for watching!
So many. Like Al Pepitone, below, I thought ballplayers were immortal. That changed with Thurman Munson's death. Thank you for recording these for us.
I remember a lot of the 1970's players. May they all rest in peace!

@@chuckinhouston9952 Thank ya!
Thank you for honoring these men!
It's amazing how many of these guys actually lived a really long life, many well into their 80s and 90s. We should be so lucky!
Gil Coan was almost 100, too.
Saw so many of these guys place. Well done video sir. TY for posting this.

RIP Bob Gibson. A true legend.
Aaron, Mays, never wanted to face him!!! they all got conveniently sick when Gibson pitched.......................L O L !
Gibson and Seaver, two of the greatest.
@@chop3625Seaver was instrumental in the Mets winning the 69 Series.
It's so sad that all these people died in 2020 I love these guys so much bye thank you so much for playing for all the teams that you have played for guys I will miss you all so much bye

“Come on, let the kids play” Bob Watson’s line in the Bad News Bears 2. RIP Bob.
Yep, he started the Leak's chant
Bob Watson scored baseball's 1,000,000 run in 1975. The Red's David Concepcion scored the 1,000,001st run just a few seconds later.
I always idolized Lou Brock and I will always treasure his autograph sad I never got bob gibsons autograph maybe the greatest pitcher ever may they both as well as everyone else on this list rip

RIP Rogelio Moret. That man had to endure so much in his life.
He really did
I did not know Tony Fernandez and Damaso Garcia died! R.I.P. I loved the Toronto Blue Jays when I was a kid.
I loved the Jays growing up, too! Fernandez was one of my favorite players as a kid.
Foster Castle man is my great grandpa
My condolences on your loss.
When I was a kid these guys were imortal.

So many Amazing players! Well done
Thanks for watching!
Apart from losing two heroes of mine (add to that Tom Seaver) Gibson and Brock are irreplaceable as Cardinal icons I am reminded how wonderful Topps baseball cards were for keeping us informed about baseball Gods.
When I watch these I’m reminded that life is short. Seaver, Gil, Yogi, Tommie, Donn… God’s putting the team back together!
Sure is, made me cry because as a boy I watched my team win the World Series in '86. This video sure does bring back memories, but let's hope they're playing ball up there.
You could form at least two winning All Star teams from these. Many my all time heroes, and saw several of them live. Grieving for their loss.
Seen many of these players at Shea stadium in Qeens N.Y.Time marches on for all of us.Be well and stay happy baseball fans.
Well said!
Rest in peace, Lou Brock.
Rip Al Kaline one of the tigers all time best ):
All this really does is make me feel that I am getting old because alot of these guys were in there prime when I was a teen......so sad.....deaths door is getting waaay to close for these eyes.
Nicely done.
Thanks!
Wow what a team that would make
Sad to see the baseball players pass very sad..😔😔😌
They got to play the game, the way most of us just dream.

Shocked more people didn’t talk about Kaline!
One of great hitters of all time had a classic batting stance,
RIP Biff Pocoroba.
Toy Cannon, Claudel Washington, Matt Keough, wasn’t aware of their passing. Childhood memories🥲
There were a few guys whose deaths kind of went under the radar last year - I assume because of so many other things making big headlines!
@@BallparkGuide Sure you’re right. BTW, really fine content.
Rest in Peace
I saw many of them play.
Rest in peace all
This is so sad.
Damaso Garcia & Tony Fernandez? GTFOH! Unbelievable!
Yep, too bad. I'm a Jays fan, so I grew up watching them - Fernandez, in particular. Very sad.
2:26...what kind of pitch was Whitey about to throw?
the beat beginning at 5:17 is great. it sounds familiar. what is it?
I don't recall the name off hand, unfortunately. It's just from some free music database I found online.
2020 sucked. Four great former Astros. Menke, Morgan, Watson , & The Toy Cannon. I grew idolizing all of them.
I remember many
Thanks for watching!
I feel like the whole Washington team had died 2020!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I didn't know a lot of them died, like Morgan, Seaver
Lots of hall of famers in 2020, unfortunately.
We lost some greats!
Rick Baldwin
It concerns me there was a guy born in '68 and my dad was in '69
I thought u meant current players, whoops.
forgot Derek Aucoin...december 2020
I omitted players who were only in the big leagues for a very short amount of time. Given that Aucoin appeared in just two MLB games, I chose not to include him. No disrespect intended, but there were a ton of guys who passed in 2020 who I omitted for this reason. RIP.
@@BallparkGuide Cool enough. Just mentionning. Wasn't aware of that rule but it makes sense. Good work anyway. ^^
What about Henry hank Aaron? You forget about him
He actually died in early 2021, not in 2020.
