You should watch baseball abbreviations (acronyms) what do they stand. By Building Better Baseball. It will help with terms like Base on Balls (BB) ERA, RBI or OPS, OBP, Slugging %
Should check out Mariano Rivera probably the best reliever in baseball history especially in playoffs. They would play "Enter Sandman" by Metallica every time brought out from bullpen on home games. Please 🙏 look into him! Thanks
ERA= Earned Run Average. An "earned run" is a run that the pitcher gives up through hits and walks - basically through events that pitcher can control. An "unearned run" is one that happened because of fielding errors by the pitcher's teammates. The "earned run average" is how many earned runs that pitcher has given up per every 9 innings.
If a reliever comes in with a man on base, and that runner scores, the earned run goes to the previous pitcher. And the ERA is for every 9 innings. Pitch 6 innings allow 2 runs= 3.0 ERA
The thing about ERA is that it's meant to measure scoring that the pitcher can control, but doesn't actually do that. The pitcher has very little control over what happens when a ball is put into play. Sometimes they give up a screaming line drive that goes right at a fielder, other times they give up weak grounders that just sneak through the infield. And the errors that are left out of his ERA are based on the judgement of the scorekeeper. That's why ERA is no longer used by professional analysts and front offices to evaluate pitcher performance.
@@jawbone78 "ERA is no longer used by professional analysts and front offices to evaluate pitcher performance." What a nonsense statement. Utter bullshit.
This thread is baseball stats in a nutshell. First, the op give a succinctly sufficient answer. What follows is a quip, a deeper explanation, and finally, fear of the sabermetrician summons the official rulebook out of thin air.
DN Guys cant be blamed, as they have a lot to catch up to baseball terms, there is a lot to digest. Even to life long fans, there are things that still surprise me that I was not aware in Baseball.
No one is going to blame you for being drawn into the video as I think we all are. It's a very well written produced video. Every single one of secret base's videos are the same production and kind of addictive to watch. Just glad you guys are enjoying our suggestions
Too much info in that video, too many rewinds, stops and starts, sidebars, etc. I’m surprised they stuck with it, and I’m a Yankee fan.
Thank you! 🙏
This is easily Aaron Boone’s signature highlight. He’s the current manager of the Yankees today
ERA = Earned Run Average = Average earned runs allowed per 9 innings
As a Red Sox fan, you guys need to promise me you will not stop at Aaron F'ing Boone's HR video and keep going with the 2004 ALCS all-time comeback.
It’s on the list Nick, no surprise it’s been heavily requested in the comments. We have to batch record but will get to this one!
For a future viewing suggestion, Jon Bois is a legend at Secret Base (it's not just one guy, but a whole studio). He used to have a series called "Pretty Good" about "stories that are pretty good". I think there are about 11 or 12 - they're all brilliant and worth a watch. Also, for some added context, Aaron Boone is the current manager of the Yankees and the Yanks-Red Sox rivalry is largely considered the biggest in Baseball history
I would also like to recommend anything Jon Bois has a hand in. Those videos tend to be on the longer side, but they are great. One of the more recent ones I recommend reacting to is Section 1: A Short Film from Dorktown. It's also on Secret Base, and it's a great place to be introduced to the Jon Bois style I'm a fan of.
Jon Bois is a legend. I show his writing in my creative writing class as a high school teacher. Pretty Good are some of the greatest stories ever, full stop!
This video is the perfect setup now to watch the 2004 ALCS with the Red Sox vs the Yankees!
Naw....nobody wants to see that....
Thanks, have got this one on the list! Heavily requested in these comments
The secret base deep rewind for the next season’s (2004) AL Championship playoff between these two teams is just as interesting especially now that you have the context of this playoff series.
The ESPN documentary called “Four Days in October” is an absolute must-watch to get context about the history of the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry
I second that!
Bad blood since the 1920's
"Ortiz is a f*****g god!"
Thanks Ryan, seen a number of mentions for this one, have got it added to our list!
you guys should cover the 2004 American league championship between the New York Yankees, and Boston Redsox. Boston at that point hadn't won a world series since 1918. and then were down 3-0 to Yankees in series best of 7. High drama epic!!
Yes! I need this as a Red Sox fan after seeing that walkoff.
@@OwenSawchuk Yeah, that was an old wound I didn't need reopening...
While 2003 was a phenomenal moment..and I remember where I was when it happened....2004...was for me the worst moment in my sports fan life!!!! Looking back now it still gives me heartburn....
It’s on the list Donald, no surprise it’s been heavily requested in the comments. We have to batch record but will get to this one!
@@ricardoleonor1647 2002-2004 as a yankiees fan was probably the most emotional ive been.
Since you reacted to this you have to react to 2004, when the Red Sox overcame a 3-0 deficit vs the Yankees in the ALCS to advance to the World Series.
I'd really rather they didn't. Horrible managing by Torre
I can't believe I'm watching this as a Red Sox fan.. hurts my heart, please do the next year alcs with these 2 teams as well. Also if your a cubs fan you should watch "The Biggest Curse Ending Moment In Baseball History demands a deep rewind" Also by Secret Base
As others have said, you need to watch the 2004 ALCS rematch between these two teams. I guess I don’t want to spoil it, but it is completely unique in baseball history.
next will be more torture. the bears vs patriots super bowl😪
@@tail66 That was rough. Just no one tell them about the ‘86 World Series…
Definitely will do John. We batch record but have got this one added to our list
Hell yeah do more of these, the David Freese one is great
Thanks Popeye! Will add to our list!
I'm a Yankees fan, for context. The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is one of the great rivalries of sport. This was a tense series all the way through. Zimmer getting thrown to the ground was on Zimmer, in my opinion - Zimmer charged Martinez, not the other way around. Zimmer did apologize later too, which was a bit of class on his part.
That world series had a lot of drama too. There's a story with Byung-hyun Kim, who gave up a couple of key home runs, but eventually got the final out of the series after his manager stuck with him in spite of earlier problems. There was the "Yankee mystique and aura" (put to bed, eventually) as the Yankees kept coming back and coming back with lucky/timely plays. Even the ceramonial first pitch had a bit of drama (GW Bush threw a perfect strike, rare for ceramonial first pitches - Derek Jeter had warned him "if you throw it in the dirt, they'll boo you!"). It was stories of all sorts all the way around.
There's more to the ALCS story later too. The video doesn't do a great job at explaining that Pedro had been dominant in the game till that point, then essentially fell apart completely. Pedro eventually provided the Yankees are my daddyies quote a couple years later after a few more bad experiences playing against the Yankees. There was also one of the worst umpiring calls I've ever seen in one of the two series - two Yankees off of the third base were tagged out by the catcher, but the ump only gave them 1 out.
For humor, you might watch some "worst first pitch" moments. There are a few good first pitches out there, and a lot, a lot, a lot of bad ones. That, and bad national anthem renditions are always good for a laugh.
Thanks Kyle, had a great read of this. Added the suggestion to our list too
Btw guys, Aaron Boone became the Yankees manager in 2018 and still is to this day
I thought I recognised the name. Thanks for this context Fidge, appreciate it
The Yankees - Red Sox rivalry was something special. Those games were just different than anything else in baseball growing up.
Keith Olbermann pointed out something interesting about the Aaron Boone home run in the Ken Burns "Baseball" documentary (again, highly recommended): Aaron Boone was in a hitting slump at the time. When a hitter is in a slump, their timing is off. Pitching to Boone was Tim Wakefield, a knuckleballer. A knuckleball is a pitch where the ball is gripped with the fingertips and thrown softly, with little to no spin, so that it kind of flutters and moves unpredictably. A good knuckleball messes up a hitter's timing… but Boone, in a slump, already had his timing messed up. A negative plus a negative equals a positive. Boone hits a home run.
ERA stands for Earned Run Average. It's meant to measure how many runs you're giving up per game. If you pitch to a batter and he gets on base by either a walk or a hit (not by fielder error) and that batter eventually scores that's an earned run. ERA is calculated by Earned Runs/ Innings pitched * 9. You multiply by 9 because there are 9 innings in a game.
my dad was in attendance for this game which was a year before i was born. he said the stadium was so loud he thought the place was gonna fall down. Also Aaron Boone is the current manager of the New York Yankees but he also played for them. This was by far the signature moment of Boone’s career as he didn’t do much after that.
Since youre a cubs now you should react to
The biggest curse-ending moment in baseball history demands a deep rewind | 2016 World Series Game 7 by Secret Base
Definitely got this one on the list, thanks hifijohn, appreciate the comment
Yeah, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 MLB playoffs had some epic stories and moments.
The saga of Yankees/Red Sox would be a four hour (at least) video.
Talking about SB Nation (yes, I still call the channel that) I recommend the video "The game 7 walk off finish to the 2001 world series rewinder". I don't know if you guys already watched it, I couldn't find it at least, but it's a very popular video from the channel and it shows how baseball can be "unfair" sometimes. There's a huge narrative about the 2001 WS because of the events of 9/11 that had happened during the world series, it's a great watch.
The Yankees and Red Sox rivalry is so intense! It goes back about a century to when Babe Ruth was sold to the Yankees from the Red Sox in 1920, and up till 2004, the Sox were cursed and couldn’t win, while the Yankees racked up championships.
one of my favorite reactions of yours so far. it’s okay to goldfish sometimes lol. y’all let the original video breathe and stopped it at proper times to discuss your thoughts, very well done. more secret base please
4 days in October is an incredible documentary and only an hour and I know many of us would watch a reaction to that! It’s got Liverpool fan vibes and heartache of over 80 years!
I remember it well! Happy to see you bombarded with the depth behind a moment, or a game, that you're just beginning to understand, as I'm sure there are just as many soap operas in sport on your side of the pond. Thanks for turning me on to this creator, looking forward to checking out the channel. And go Yankees ⚾
You need to do a review of the Oakland Athletics consecutive win streak in 2002. It is during the “Moneyball” year, and has since been broken, but it was absolutely epic... and the final game they play, to try to tie the all time record was absolutely wild.
Seeing you guys entranced in this video is great!! Don't worry about it. Obviously we appreciate your insight and discourse but CARING about the subject is most important for these type of videos. And you guys are clearly interested.
Thank you, appreciate this! We’ve really found this entire journey so interesting and I’m currently following Baseball closer than I am the Premier League.
The David Freese video that secret base has is probably his best video.
Aaron Boone's Grandfather, Father and Brother were also major league players. You should do a show on sports familys
Another great video guys! I'm sure someone explained it already but ERA means "Earned Run Average" and it measures the amount of runs given up by a pitcher over 9 innings. The basic formula is "9 x earned runs allowed/innings pitched." Oftentimes, it is considered an outdated statistic for measuring a pitcher's value (especially relief pitchers) since there are many factors for how runs score, not always the fault of the pitcher. For an example, if a pitcher gives up a base hit to a batter and his manager removes him from the game, he is still responsible for the runner on base. If the reliever allows that run to come around, it hurts the earlier pitcher's ERA and not his own. In theory, a reliever could give up a grand slam (four runs scoring on a home run) and only be responsible for 1 earned run against his average (the only runner he was responsible for was the batter himself.) AA better metric would be "WHIP" which is "walks and hits per innings pitched" and from there the formula is simple enough -- it's the sum of a pitcher's walks and hits, divided by his total innings pitched. From there, formulas can get pretty advanced and require a heavy level of math. For the casual observer, ERA and WHIP should mostly suffice to understanding how good a pitcher, but know that there are statistics in baseball that cover just about every measurable skillset.
Thank you Matthew, great comment, appreciate it!
I remember being so shocked and happy the Grady left Pedro in. He obviously had nothing left at the point
Seemed such a strange decision to me!
Any ERA under say 3.00 is very good. Under 2.00 is great. By the way, look at the closeup at how Wakefield was holding the ball at 1:35. One of the last of the knuckleballers
Thank you for this context Fidge. I’ll go back and have a look at the timestamp now 👍
That baseball fight is one of the best to have ever happened in the rivalry. The best for me was A-Rod vs. Varitek.
Secret Base! Let’s go! My personal favorite sports channel on TH-cam. They cover all sports with such love and care and tell such amazing stories.
ERA= Earned Run Average. The amount of runs a pitcher gives up per 9 innings pitched. Generally the most common used stat for pitchers. Low ERA is good.
Thanks for giving it a shot guys. I understand these Rewinders can be confusing with all the time jumps.
Thank you as always Roger! Appreciate the context too.
@@DNReacts No problem, guys. It was a fun watch! Secret Base has a bunch of series of which Rewinder is just one. Untitled, Collapse, Chart Party, Dorktown, Beef History, Weird Rules in addition to Jon Bois’ solo content. I’m sure there’s something you’ll enjoy even if it’s not Rewinder 👍
The Pedro/Zimmer scuffle was game three of the series. Pedro, I thought, handled it well. Zimmer was charging him with intent to harm. (The brawl started over a few pitches that hit batters near their head; Zimmer, as a player, was hit by a pitch and had to have metal screws inserted into his skull to hold it together. But to charge Pedro like that, maybe the screws were loose.)
Learning baseball is a prolonged process. There is little about it that is intuitive. You have to absorb it over time by watching the game.
In case you didn’t pick up on it already, the most important thing to understand is that Boston and New York have hated each other for a very very long time (they are in the same division). Clemens, hall of fame caliber pitcher pitched for Boston most of his career and then went to New York at the end of his career. Lots of storylines here.
Thank you for your comment. Certainly has become quite clear from the comments. Appreciate it.
Watch the rewind of game 7 of the 2016 World Series, also by Secret Base. Arguably one of the best and most dramatic games in baseball history.
Secret base does amazing work. Their videos would do so well to help you understand the drama behind the biggest moments in sports. I'd suggest the final game between Tom brady and Peyton manning
I think Secret Base is a really good channel. As a Mariner's fan, I'm biased, but I think their multi-part documentary on the team is my favorite series they've ever made, and I'd recommend it.
Just a point of interest Aaron Boone is the current manager of the New York Yankees.
To add more context, Wakefield was actually a starter who killed the yankees every single game they played him, and they brought him in in relief and they finally got to him. My friends and I went insane when Boone hit that pitch.
Boone is now Yankees manager 👍🏻😎
Btw for a bit of added context, a TON of MLB players come from the Dominican Republic, which is one of the few countries where football is far less popular than baseball is
Baseball is to the DR what football is to Brazil… Every MLB club has Dominican players on it
Thank you, this is great context. Was not aware of this.
One of my favorite historical clips
I love this video - great story-telling - hope you do more of these - thanks for this one.
Will do Jedd, thank you and glad you enjoyed
While watching this it reminds me how deep the history of baseball is, particularly between these two teams. DN, you guys will need to watch a lot of videos of the Yankees and Red Sox to really get a full appreciation of the magnitude of these games. There were so many truly great players with a lot of issues both on and off the field. It would be easy to spend a couple months going down the rabbit holes of just the players on these two teams, and would be worth it.
Thank you for this, getting a feel from the comments about how fierce this rivalry is. We’ll definitely have to cover off some more videos around the rivalry
I was part of the architectural firm that built Mike Mussia's pitching facility at his home in Pennsylvania for the off season. (He built it during the season when he was in New York, so I never met him. ) what a great experience!
No teams had a greater rivalry at the time than the Yankees and the Red Sox. I'm not a fan of either team, but their games are legendary.
Love this, great comment!
Secret Base's Auburn Kick Six Deep rewind is pretty good
Great suggestion. They love the Kick Six and I think learning more context behind it would make love love it even more.
ERA = Earned Run Average. Probably the most important stat for pitchers. You can think of it as Earned Runs per 9 innings. Earned runs/9. An ERA under 4 is generally pretty good, under 3 is all-star level, under 2.50 you're in Cy Young contention, under 2 and you're probably the best in the league
As a diehard Yankee fan, any video where the Yankees win and Red Sox lose is just pure joy. BTW, Boone is the current Yankees coach.
The 1986 World Series between the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox was one of the most thrilling and heartbreaking ever. It is also remembered for the infamous "Bill Buckner" play. A reaction to that World Series might be a good idea to put on your list.
Thanks Aregua, this sounds great, have added to the list!
I screamed "FUCK YES!" when it happened. I'll never forget it. Let's go Yankees!
New Yorker and 3rd generation Yankee fan here. Go Yankees! The greatest and most successful sports franchise of all time. Boone is a Yankee legend!
Sounds like you’ll have enjoyed this one Jimmy! Thanks for the comment
A bit of context: The Yankees and Red Sox are rivals for many reasons. There's geographical proximity: under 300 km, which may sound like a lot, but isn't that much by US standards: I live in an easy coast state but I'm more than 500 km from the nearest MLB team. They're also in the same division, the AL east. They're two of the oldest American League teams dating back to 1903. And then there's the trade. In 1919, the Red Sox had won six World Series of the 16 that had been played to that point. After that season, however, they traded an all-star pitcher to the Yankees for $500,000 cash and a $300,000 loan on their new stadium. This particular pitcher, however, had aspirations of playing in the outfield and hitting every day instead of only when he was pitching. He'd done pretty well at first, but the Red Sox management didn't think he'd keep it up, despite having just set, in 1919, a new major league single season home runs record with 29, bringing his career total to 49. After all, nobody was *that* good at hitting; the major league record for a career was 138. They also worried the focus on hitting was detrimental to his pitching: he'd been their ace when they won their sixth World Series in 1918.
So, at the end of the 1919 season, they traded him, like I said.
The aspiring hitter's name? Babe Ruth. You may have heard of him. He improved on his MLB record 29 HR (home runs) from 1919 with 54 in 1920 and 59 in 1921, breaking the career record that year and taking that mark up to 162. Meanwhile he and the Yankees went to the World Series for the first time. He wasn't done. After missing two months with an injury in 1922, Ruth led the Yankees to their first World Series title in 1923 and from then to 1929 led the league again six seasons out of seven, stopped only by another injury in 1925. In 1927, he broke the single season record again with 60, a mark that wouldn't be surpassed until Roger Maris hit 61 in, appropriately enough, 1961, and nobody else did it until 1998. He also set the career record with 714, which is still third behind Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds. And the Yankees didn't stop winning, either: by the time of the game this video covers, they had won the World Series 26 times, all since the Ruth trade. The Red Sox? They hadn't won *any* since the Ruth trade. So yeah, it's a pretty bitter rivalry that only got bigger the next year, when they faced in the semifinals again, and the Yankees won the first three games, only for the Red Sox to win games four and five in extra innings and also win games six and seven before going on to sweep the World Series for their first championship since 1918.
The Yank
I think the best video this guy has ever made was the Cubs World Series. I'm not a Cubs fan and I still get teary eyed watching the Cub fan reactions.
Thanks Ricardo, with Nick following the Cubs, we’ll have to give this one a watch.
Adam Place's explanation below is great. I would add that ERA is a solid indicator of how effective you as a starting pitcher are, especially, presented as average number of earned runs given up if you pitched a full 9 inning game. So, these days ERAs in the very low 3s or high 2s are very good, mid to low 2s are excellent and below 2 is really incredible. This is why the great Bob Gibson's ERA of 1.12 (yes, 1.12!!) over an entire season in 1968 which included 13 shutouts (no runs allowed) and 28 complete games (pitched full 9 innings 28 times) still stands easily as the best ERA in the modern period. He was a beast, very intimidating--you should do a segment on him. Also I highly recommend doing a segment on Nolan Ryan ("The Ryan Express")--the hardest thrower ever (and by far the all-time leader in strike outs) and also the great Sandy Koufax ( quit at age 30 because of arthritis in his elbow)--check out the stats for his last 4 years of his career 1963, 64, 65 and 66--unparalleled dominance.
Thanks Greg, great context in here. Nolan coming fairly soon and I’ve added the others to our list, thanks
Some context that the video doesn't touch on, but most fans know. The Yankees and Red Sox rivalry is the most fiercest and historic one in baseball.
They both play in the same division, the American League east, and are some of the oldest franchises in the league.
Babe Ruth, arguably the greatest player in MLB history, helped Boston win 3 straight world series before being traded to the Yankees in 1920.
The drought in titles since the trade up to when they finally won it in 2004, was known as the 'Curse of the Bambino.' Bambino being of Ruth's nicknames.
Thank you, this is great context, and makes sense of a few video requests we’ve seen in the comments.
@@DNReacts Not surprised, this game became another heartbreak chapter for Red Sox fans. It's why he is known in Boston as Aaron 'f******g' Boone.
The 2004 ALCS is when they finally exorcised lot of their demons at the expense of their most hated rival.
Please do more Secret Base videos! They're so good!
It's also worth mentioning that the Yankees vs Red Sox rivalry is one of, if not the biggest/longest rivalry in sports. I mean...it's largely been a one-sided rivalry, but still.
ERA is earned run average. Basically how many runs, on average, a pitcher gives up per 9 innings. So the lower the better.
I fell off my chair when AARON hit that homer. That's my team 💪🏻
Love this Douglas. Hopefully no serious injury 😅
If you guys thought this was good - watch the 5 days in October video on the year after and the Red Sox vs Yankees. Its widely regarded as the best playoff series of our lifetime.
David Freese Walkoff Rewind deserves a watch as well. It's such a crazy moment. It's probably this creators best video
David Freese
@@jaredlittle1502 Damn typos lol. ty
There is an ESPN “30-for-30” documentary episode called “Four Days in October” and it’s an excellent telling of the incredible comeback in the following year between these two teams. It’s a perfect follow-up to this video!
Thanks Tommy, we’ve got a few 30 for 30s on the list! Not sure whether we can have any hope of releasing them onto TH-cam for Copyright but I’ve got this one added to our list
You guys make great videos. I was 12 watching this game. As a yankee fan I remember jumping and screaming with excitement watching that home run
Thank you Joel! Appreciate this. Can imagine what a moment this was!
Secret Base Rewinds, Stark Raving Sports and Jomboy are the holy trinity of baseball content for me. Love watching y'all see the history we all grew up with over here.
There are plenty others that are really good, but these I have to 100 % agree, those you mentioned are top tier YT Baseball Channels
I would add Foolish Baseball to that.
Thank you!
@@dsboyce1977 Yes, Jolly Olive (He works with JOMBOY MEDIA TOO) and Fuzzy if you want to stay up to date with all the current details of daily games. There is also this Retired MLB Player Antonelli Baseball, that is a couch now.
I love the content guys
Thank you Carlos, really appreciate this!
ERA - Earned Run Average - it's the number of earned runs a pitcher allows. An earned run is a run that scores without an error (fielding error) or a passed ball (a ball that gets past the catcher that the statistician judges was catchable or a wild pitch). A pitcher's ERA is the most important statistic you'll hear about in measuring a pitcher's effectiveness. So, the lower the ERA, the better the pitcher is rated.
Looking back, it's interesting that this was actually a turning point AGAINST the Yankees. The Red Sox broke the curse in 2004 and transformed from lovable losers into a super rich, yearly contender that the rest of baseball started to hate as much as the Yankees. The Yanks have only won one Series since this.
Sox fan. 2003 was painful, but 2004 made it so worth it. 😂
If you’re looking for another Rewinder, the Cubs-Indians 2016 Game 7 rewind is a great one, was the biggest baseball game in decades for many reasons.
Thanks for this one, sounds great and have added to the list!
You should watch the rewinder for game 6 of the 2011 World Series, one of my favorite postseason moments that did not include a team that I cheer for.
Other great baseball rewinders are game 7 of the 2016 WS, game 7 of the 2001 WS, or game 6 of the 1993 WS
Another good baseball video from secret base is Barry Bonds Untitled
This one seems to be very popular, have definitely got it on our list and will look to get to it as soon as we can
Another really good one they did is the Secret base video about the 2001 World Series between the Yankees and Diamondbacks
Secret base makes some great nerdy sports videos
💯
Secret base is my favorite channel on TH-cam. Greatest sports videos on the internet. Their Seattle mariners documentary might be the best video on youtube
Thanks for this, has so many requests for the Mariners Documentary. Got this one on our list!
ERA is the pitchers 'Earned Run Average per nine innings pitched! The number of runs, not including runs scored via errors; I hope that makes sense...
This is bitter sweet because this imo was the last great yankee team of that dynasty and you could argue this home run actually ended the red Sox near 100 year curse
From the comments I’ve read I understand why Sal. Although a great moment in 03
If there is ever a history of the mariners watch party let me know
You guys should watch secret base the score to every nfl game ever it has to be one of my favorite sports videos ever
Thanks for this one, sounds great and I’ve added to our list
i remember this like it was yesterday sitting in a bar with some buddies as soon as that happened we immediately left without saying anything to each other absolutely crushed he became the new bucky 'fu$k!ng' dent now u guys gotta checkout the following season when the redsox came back from 3-0 to go to the world series those games were fantastic
It’s on the list 100%, no surprise it’s been heavily requested in the comments. We have to batch record but will get to this one!
@@DNReacts great my dudes its sweet redemption against the evil empire
I absolutely love Secret Base. You have to check out their video, The Kick Six deserves a deep rewind. I think you have already seen the play and really loved it, but the context behind it makes it even greater.
Thanks Reece, we’ve got this one on our list to watch. Sounds a great one
I watched this game in bar while in college. It was devastating.
Yeahh 2004 ALCS Red Sox vs Yankees best of 7 is the most dramatic sports moments of my life. 2 bitter rivals going at it a year after this boone bs. It’s a must must must watch…
Since that year, Red Sox has kicked some major arse on the Yankees in the Playoffs.
We won't talk about the 3-0 choke tho the very next season 😂. That is what you should react to the red Sox miracle the bambino curse break
Before I get into this video. This is one of the most storied rivalries in our sports, with its share of memorable moments, of which, this is one. This rivalry, like all rivalries, is better when both teams are good, and when they actively don't like each other.
I am a Boston fan and I turned the TV off before the ball left the park.
2004 made up for all the heartbreak. On the serious side... Seriously guys, the next year's series between these two teams needs a look, especially Game 4. I'm not kidding when I say the entire northeast corridor of the US had their sleep schedule disrupted for 2 weeks with this series.
BTW, that 72 year, Don Zimmer, as a former Boston manager, and he apologized for his conduct. I liken it to the fan who was punched by the Indiana Pacers' Jermaine O'Neal in the Malice at the Palace (another great story).
NEVER CHARGE AN ATHLETE!
FAFO
Thank you for this Mark, have definitely got the 2004 series on the list as it’s been requested so heavily unsurprisingly in the comments. Sounds like it was an epic epic moment for Boston!
Wow! And we did the Secret Base video on Malice at the Palace. It kind of left us with so so so many questions!
Great reaction, guys! If you would like to see another dramatic walk off home run, I would recommend the Secret Base video about Kirk Gibson's walk off home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. It's one of the most dramatic moments in World Series history, and a signature accomplishment for one of the game's great players.
Thank Jon! Glad you enjoyed. Have added this one to our list as well, sounds great!
I would love if you would react to either albert pujols or yadier molina. they are both gonna be in hall of fame and just retired last year
I went to game 1 of this series that the red sox won. My friend is a red sox fan...it was tough getting out of the stadium
This series made me pissed and sad at the same time the moment Arron Boone hit that home. Had a couple of course to take in Boston the next day. Never heard and felt a city soooo quiet and dead in my life.
Boone is now the Yankees’ manager.
As an N.Y. Mets fan, I have to warn you. Many people will tell you to watch a video of their team beating the Yankees. Especially the Boston fans who have a rivalry with the NY teams. It should be well noted that the NY teams don't really have a rivalry with them.
The NY Yankees are (by a MASSIVE margin) the most successful team in MLB history. Every team has a highlight of beating the Yankees. It's because even when they're bad they're still THE YANKEES. The Yankees are almost never "BAD", most years they're slightly above average. The scary part is when they're good, they tend to be "good" to "OMG GREAT" for 10-year stretches.
Appreciate this context!
ERA is equivalent to goals allowed per game for a goalie. It’s adjusted for a 9 inning game so if a pitcher in a season has played 1 inning and gave up 1 run, their ERA would be 9.0.
React to the 2004 ALCS, the following season’s rematch between these teams, it’s the greatest Championship Series of all time on any sport.
Hi Brett, thanks for this, we’ll definitely do the follow up in 04. I think we have to for the sheer number of requests it’s had in the comments alone 😅
The Secret Base video on Rickey Henderson is definitely a must watch. Helps give some insight into his career outside of that one highlight reel you guys watched, as well as an intro to the world of career records in baseball

Also, on the topic of Rickey, Foolish Baseball also has a video about him worth checking out

Thank you for these Soultrax. Have added both of them to our list
RIP Tim Wakefield.
Grady Little, the Red Sox manager, was fired shortly after. The Sox say it was because they didn't want to sign him to a long term deal like Little wanted, but we all know why.
