I'll always remember coming home from school that day passing the ballpark. I saw the W flag on Clark street & then I saw the final score below! I can watch it now haha
This will always be the quintessential Cubs game! At Wrigley...beautiful sunny day with a packed crowd...Harry & Steve on TV...before lights & before all of the other changes to the Park. You can't get any better than this! Well, I guess you can be in the bleachers watching the game with a hot dog in one hand and a cold beer in the other!
@@Tdecenso79 I was only able to experience that a couple times --in a bar in Wrigleyville, but yeah, totally agree! Surrounded by Cub fans, near Wrigley --nothing on Earth like it! They should bring back Steve.
One of the lowlights of being an Astros fan. I’m glad both of our teams won the WS!! Cubs fans are class acts!! I’d love to see the Cubs v Astros in the WS!!
We miss the National League. Those were fun rivalries. Maybe we'll be at Wrigley this October (2019). It would be great to play the Cubs in the World Series.
@@douglaslowe5 oh yeah! The 'stros had Richard, Scott and Niekro. Who were the other starters? I don't want to look it up. Bannister maybe. I liked Ruble --he was always good against my Cubs. Of course, my Cubs were atrocious up to '83 and '84 of course. Cruz, Puhl, Howe, etc. Yeah, always liked those late 70s & 80s Astros.
Bobby D was not a leadoff hitter nor was Bowa. He was just as frustrating on The Phils and even Richie Ashburn felt he could improve. Bobby had a decent year in 1984 with 149 hits .278 avg. But keeping him at the top of the lineup caused more harm than good.
Seeing an ad for a phone book at the beginning. I haven’t seen one in years. We used to watch cubs games on tv all summer and after school. Even though I was a white Sox fan, Andre Dawson was my favorite player.
The Cubs still had our beloved ex-Phillies players starting the ballgame. I love seeing Manny Trillo playing 1st base. He looks so natural there. Bobby D would come back here to Philly in 1989 and hit a dramatic inside the park homer. Keith Moreland would hit 27 hrs. ... It was so enjoyable following The Cubs in the 80's as a Phillies fan.
This was a microcosm of the 1987 Bob Knepper. I think he was still shaken from game 6 of the previous season's NLCS. Nonetheless, he was serving up lolly pops.
This is going to sound odd, one of the things I miss today from the past is the sound of the sportswriters pecking away at the typewriter in the press box. Listen, no walk up music.
Last year for Rick Sutcliffe and Bobby dernier also a one and done year for manager gene Micheal really Leon Durham came the next year in 1988 and andre Dawson last year was 1990 I think and in 1989 it was the wild thing Mitch Williams came up with cubs this was the best 3 games series that cubs played but they failed and end of year to st.louis
Durham was already there...he did not come in "88... Also, sentences and seperate ideas actually require some form of punctuation so they do not run together in a confusing stream.... PAUSES that you have in your mind do not jump into the text and appear in the written form on the screen.
Harry Caray was so great. Always makes me smile to see him do these old games!
Only reason I am here
I kiosks
I forgot how Harry used to read notes about who was there, or watching the game, etc. It gave a sense of Cubs community
@@fenderjazzbrianJack Brickhouse did the same thing long before Harry.
@@murcson Doesn't have anything to do with what I said, but OK.

Harry Caray, Steve Stone, and the 1984 Cubs are the reason I love baseball.
Neat, I could say the same about the 89 Orioles and Jon Miller, Brooks Robinson MelProctor and John Lowenstien. No personalities left in the game.
Yes, same! 🙌🙌🙌

Listening to this while at work today. Great memories as a 9 year old
@@GoldenRetrievin i hate baseball. I hate baseball then amd now. I only watch to remember how much i hated it then. Fond memories
@@marty639 Thanks for stopping by Marty.
I grew up watching the Cubs on WGN. I loved Harry Carey and Steve Stone

That would be cool wouldn't it? At the time of this game it wasn't possible of course. I do miss having the Astros in the NL tho.

@@g4340 still not used to Astros in AL. I grew up in LA and Astros always killed my Dodgers with their pitching back In 80s.

I'd love to see the entire Asterisks organization get full blown Covid or AIDS right before boarding a plane that crashes into the Juice Box.
It's a TH-cam cliché, but I really miss the 80's. Bobby Dernier, Jody Davis, Harry, & Steve. Everything.

i miss the intro and the cubs being on channel 9.these were great times in my childhood
I was at that game. 2 days after my birthday. Everyone wanted to see them squeeze out one more run but it didn't happen.
I may very well have watched this game. I do seem to remember the unusual score. I watched lots of Cubs games on cable in those days.

Yes. Perfect for a Chicago boy living in Florida missing my old life

I was at this game! Thank you!
Great classic
This game still remains as the most runs allowed in the history of the Astros franchise.
WGN & The Chicago Cubs: The tradition continues
Duriel Roberts For one more year
Not anymore. Baseball on free TV is over.
The juiced ball year of '87! Fun times
You're getting into the baseball spirit. I was wondering if you happen to have the Oakland Toronto game from July 12, 1992?
Great game

Harry at 2:53:00
I hope you have Blue Jays and Expos Telecasts from the 1990's.
1:30:50 Steve Stone & Dewayne Staats.
Hey, Harry pronounced Valparaiso correctly! Now, my Hoosier heart swells with pride.
(thats a great point!) about protecting hitters ....
Houston Astros left the National League Central after 2012 and moved to the American League West in 2013.
They should of still stayed in the national league.
Umpires (8:01)

Doug Harvey or Joe West seemed to be behind the plate for every Cub game in the 1980's.
Paul Noce batting remind me when Harry used to say he should change his name to Buenos then he would be buenos noche 😅!

@@AMEER-114-gave me a damn headache. Durham came to the Cubs in 1981 in the Bruce Sutter trade.
BRING BACK CUBS ON WGN FOR CHRIST SAKE
Holy cow
Anyone catch Harry say so and so is here from Can Can Mexico?
Miss these days.
LOL 😅
Remember next year came the lights at Wrigley field
That is THE intro for Cubs baseball. All others pale in comparison.
shirtless fans 😆 not these days anymore
Good point. When I was growing up it was no biggie to be a shirtless dude in public on a hot day. Now it verboten.
You might offend someone
Harry Caray (PBP) & Steve Stone (C) 1-3/7-9
Dewayne Staats (PBP) & Stone (C) 4-6
Good God that marching band who did the anthem was atrocious
Milo Hamilton must've cringed doing the broadcasting for the Stros on a game like this....
A high school band out of state playing the anthem? What? All the high schools in Chicago said no?
Why put spoilers in your title?!
To make it easier for people to find this game?
