Strike 1 was a good call. Swing the damn bat. One if the reasons baseball is slow and losing fans is the pansy ass strike zone these hitters get. Letters to knees. Letters to knees. Batters are spoiled nowadays.
@Erik Gilreath ya but as far away as he is i dont know how he reaches it. If you could throw a fast curveball that drops low and away i bet thats what he struck out on most.
1980: C picks himself up and Houston plays ball. 2019: Runner is out, facing fine/suspension, benches and bullpens empty. Next Philly batter gets beaned, Houston batter gets beaned. Butthurt all the way around.
Perhaps you've forgotten that there's been a rule change since then, because of all the serious injuries being caused by unnecessarily rough hits on fielders?
Actually, Bochy without the ball steps into the path of Rose as he is about to touch home plate - runner would be called safe without question in either of those years.
It's even harder to find a comment string on TH-cam where someone isn't complaining about the video quality. As if all time was subject to the technology we have now.
Only 28 players in MLB history have over 3000 career hits... and only 2 players have more than 4000 career hits... Pete Rose is the all time hits leader with 4256 hits.
DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT AT ALL -- BUT I NEVER DID CARE MUCH FOR HIM -- I FOUND HIM TO BE AN ARROGANT LOUDMOUTHED SCHOOL YARD BULLY PUNK TYPE -- MADE A POINT OF GOING ALL SEAL TEAM SIX AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY -- YOU WEREN'T PLAYING FOOTBALL PETEY - SHOULDA LAID OFF THE DRUGS
Wow...classic..Charlie Hustle...Howard Cosell..Keith Jackson....The Bull ..Manny..Larry..Shake..Dallas.. and Michael Jack Schmidt!!! Thanks for the post
Man do I miss the 80 Phillies. What a year. The 3/5's of the earth is covered by water, the rest is covered by Gary Maddox. Tug Mcgraw, Big Lefty, Gene Garber, Luzinski, Bowa, Boone, Unser etc. etc. What a year, what a series, what finish. WHEW !!!
2 years ago Pete Rose was making one of his summertime tours of minor-league ballparks. He'd sign autographs, address the crowd, and act as a 1st and 3rd base coach for about 4 or 5 innings. . .I saw him do this one night in Wichita with an American Association team. . .Pete was coaching at 1st base and a guy hit a line drive into the gap in left-center. . .Pete was waving him on to second with everything he had. . .The kid made the turn and got almost halfway to 2nd and then just stopped and jogged back to 1st base. It would have taken an extremely long and perfect throw to nail him at 2nd. So when the kid got back to the bag at 1st, Pete charged up to him, threw his arm around him and had a face to face "chat" with him. I'll bet it went something like this, "Son, if you ever want to play in the major leagues you better stop making plays like that. I waved you on because you were gonna make it, but if you keep stoppin' like that and trottin' back to 1st, you better get used to playin' your whole career in the minor leagues!" I loved that Pete didn't just stand there, but instead went up to the kid and I'm sure gave him some great baseball advice.
Dude went all out every game, he could hit a sharp one hopper to the second baseman, Rose is still going to burn down that first baseline like it's a matter of life and death, the man played the game with all out Hustle, not being in the HOF is such bullshit by Major League baseball, but they allowed for the integrity of the game to be totally demolished by turning their backs when they all knew damn well PEDs were being used by the vast majority of players, just wanted to make their millions, what POS!
This was a hell of a series! I was a young Astros fan and it brings back some good but heartbreaking memories. Every game went extra innings except for game 1, which I believe was a 2-1 final score.
What might have been. i wasn't into baseball back then, but i looked it up at wikipedia and saw that Philly scored 5 runs in the top of the 8th of game 5 (back then the LCS was a best-of -five) and beat Houston 8-7 for the NL pennant. That's right, kids, Houston was in the National League once upon a time. I think it was 2013 that they moved to the AL. I'd like to see the Texans win Super Bowl 57.
Rose deserves to be in the hall of fame. Don't care if he broke the rules. He still played great ball. He played 110% gave us more some games. I pulled for the Braves. Still loved watching Rose play ball.Even if he played for the Philadelphia. He gave it all.
@@dannycrockett9878 Don't you hate when people say shit like this? I'm sure old timers in the 1980's said the same thing about the 50's and 60's when it comes to baseball. It's the circle of bitterness
I have to say Pete Rose is one of my favorite players of all time! He played with such a passion you don't see these days! He bet on baseball, but not in a way that he would throw a game! Pete was a monster player!
This is why Pete Rose was great. He was absolutely relentless. And all the announcers do a fantastic job breaking down this play. They all make excellent points.
@@youtoo2233 True Ron! The announcers saw this wrong. Rose is the greatest of course but, Bochy just doesn't catch the ball! He never actually had it. He immediately drops it after blocking it instead of actually catching it so, Rose never really needed to clobber him!! Rose, still one of the ten greatest players that ever played.
The Phillies were competitive throughput the 70s but when Pete Rose signed with the Phillies in 1979, he turned them into World Series Champions in 1980 and National League Champs in 1983. Pete Rose absolutely deserves to be in the HOF!!
Pete Rose in no way belongs in the hall of fame. He was caught doing something he knew would keep him out if caught. He and his fans have been whining for years, but that's too bad.
It's good to see a response from someone who made a comment 4 yrs ago! 👍 I'm 66, don't know how old you are but I remember the Monday Night Football with Gifford , Cosell and Alex Karras. Alex use to punch fun at Howard all the time but really they were good friends. @@ElwoodPDowd-nz2si
Without question he is one of the top players to play the game. I never personally liked the teams he played for but I have the utmost respect for the man. For him not to be in the hall of fame actually makes less of the sport of baseballl.
Anyone notice that when the outfielders fielded base hits, they FIRED, not LOBBED, the ball back to the infield? Another small example of how the game has changed.
Also , did you notice how pete rose ran hard , on every play ? Almost every player played that way back then . Now they sit and watch a ball , thinking it’s a homer , then only get a single when it bounce a off the top of the fence ! I hate today’s game
The amazing thing about Pete Rose was that he played all out full tilt ALL The time and he didnt miss any ballgames . Most guys whp play like Rose ( if there are any ) inevitably get hurt alot and sit . Pete was one tough bastard
E.A. Hawley It is called "running HARD".....and Hustling. The scouting report on Pete when he broke in said "can't run - can't throw - can't hit." There is NO ONE is baseball history I want on first or second base running when the run has to score other than Peter Edward Rose. Period. No one else I want a bat with the winning run on second or third in the bottom of the ninth inning....other than Pete Rose. As the 3B for the Reds in the 76 World Series he LITERALLY took Mickey Rivers out of the series for the Yankees. Nuts of Steel.
A lot like Brett Favre. He was not afraid to hang in the pocket and take the big hit, put his body on the line for a play, he wasn't a gifted scrambler like Aaron Rodgers but he did that too when he had to, and still he was never too injured to start a game until his final season with the Vikings. Rose and Favre were both rugged SOBs in their respective sports who would do anything to win a game.
billny33 Well said Billy and I....unfortunately for me and apparently fortunate for you - - - got to witness Favre win his first NFL game against my Bengals. Little did I or anyone else know THEN what we we're getting ready to witness in regard to Favre's career.
Philadelphia Fever!! Nobody that ain't been born in Philly, like me, will ever feel it...I used to mow Larry Boa's lawn, when I worked for a yard service he used in South Jersey one summer in the 70's..I was 20 years old in 1980...everybody loved the Phillies back then, & those guys were absolute studs!
Keith Jackson , Cosell and Big D (Don Drysdale) in the booth . Pete Rose and Mike Schmidt on the field with a future SF/SD manager behind the plate all in the NLCS no less !!!!!!
Baseball is screwed up - the guy with the most hits isn't in, the guy with the most HR isn't in, and the guy with the 3rd all-time batting avg isn't in, and now we have a commissioner who doesn't know s**t about baseball screwing with the rules.
I love this time period when watching a game. The broadcaster would tell you about the game, instead of trying to be cute and making a joke with everything. The umpires also let the guys play and only ejected guys when they deserved it. Instead of thinking people come to see them and wearing maxi pads; having their feelings hurt and ejecting guys right away.
Gosh, I miss this era of baseball. I had posters of Rose, Luzinski, Schmidt, Brett hanging up in my bedroom when I was a teenager. I left home from Michigan to Florida in the winter of 1981to follow a dream of being a Pro baseball player. The dream didn't come true of course. But, while in Florida baseball camp on the Campus of Fort Lauderdale College, I met Carl Yaztremski, Buck Dent, Mr. Chicago Cub Ernie Banks. What a thrill. I was 19 years old.
People think Pete Rose was just being reckless. But he understood tendencies of how fielders will react. He knew about throwing positioning about fielders and how the catcher will react when he barreling down.
Rose was just crossing 3rd base when the cutoff guy received the throw. He probably couldn't believe rose was trying to score. He hesitated then one hopped the throw. Rose won that title for the phils
The greatest series of baseball I have ever watched. I was a sophomore at Elizabethtown College. I remember tearing out clumps of my hair from the constant tension.
Catcher possession of the ball was not required to block the plate when baseball was a man's (not Manfred's) game. Further, if a catcher blocked the plate, the baserunner had carte blanche to collide. Ask Ray Fosse.
Yup… that’s how they rolled back then… Bochy took it like a man though, I gotta say…. He probably shoulda kicked Landestoy’s ass for making such a shitty throw…
Pete Rose had no business scoring on that play! Hard hit ball to LF by Bull Luzinski. Good bounce to Jose Cruz. Landestoy HAS the ball when Pete is crossing third! Pete really did have good speed for a stocky dude --- and he was 39 here! A Man's Play is about to take place. Gotta catch the ball & maneuver. Don't get mad. This play was vintage Charlie Hustle.
Bruce Bochy was so afraid that Pete Rose was COMING for him that he couldn't even catch the ball!!! 600+ Martial Arts, Tai Chi, and Fitness Videos at my channel!
Exactly Right , Bochy didn't want any of Rose but ended up getting some anyhow lol , Charlie Hustle gave him The Business with that left elbow for real 💪⚾
Rose led with the elbow on his hit on Fossey too , separated his shoulder and pretty much ended his career and that was in a meaningless All Star game . That's Hard-nosed Baseball , it's just the way he played . Strike fear in your opponent , make them think twice . That's what happened here , Bochy was more concerned about being run over than catching the ball and took his eyes off it in anticipation of the hit and let a run score . Roses reputation preceded him , Intimidation is ( or was ) a major part of his game , just like his hero , Ty Cobb .
radar0412 Absolutely , if you know your fixing to take a shot , don't just stand there , do something . It's like martial art , if you know your opponent is superior and you can't avoid there attack , you jam em' . That's what Bochy did . He knew he couldn't just get up and run away from Rose like he wanted too lol , so he leaned into him and jammed him . You still get the shit knocked out of you but you save Face .
I saw a close-up of Cruz on a televised game one time when he had eye-black spread on his face to simulate mustache and beard. Unique character of the game.
I was 14, grew up in Houston, remember being heartbroken at the result of this series. I'd completely forgotten how long this series was. This one hurt more than the Astros/Mets a few years later.
I was 17 on this night, what a CLASSIC series this was !! I loved The Phil's in these days !! The year before of course, Pittsburgh won it all .." We Are Family !! " GREAT DAYS !!
Big Phillies fan here. I do agree that Pete should stay away from MLB, but did anyone notice how Don and Howard are not saying how dispicable Pete's collision was? Because it wasn't. That was the game back then boys..... "Point is Don, the ball was there!" HA!
The rule regarding betting on baseball is clear and every ballplayer knows it. You bet on baseball, you are banned FOR LIFE! No exceptions. No second chances. What is there about that don't people understand?
Few things: Keith Jackson, Don Drysdale, Howard Costello on ABC…Drinking fountain in the dugout…And Charlie Hustle left it all on the field and absolutely should be in the HOF.
Let’s not forget what Pete Rose did to Ray Fosse in the 1970 All Star game. Rose played the game that way all the time. Say what you want about him and gambling. As far as playing the game he played 100 % to win. To me he was the modern era Ty Cobb. Cobb did everything and more that Pete Rose did and he’s in the Hall of Fame. Rose should be sitting next to Cobb in Cooperstown. Period.
That's crazy how far off the plate Schmidt stood
Alex Yerkey how bout it. His back foot is not far from being out of the box.
Strike 1 was a good call. Swing the damn bat. One if the reasons baseball is slow and losing fans is the pansy ass strike zone these hitters get. Letters to knees. Letters to knees.
Batters are spoiled nowadays.
Even the next batter stands so far away. Like, what is that, a 45 inch bat? Lol
That was mindboggling. how the fuck does he hit a fastball on the outside corner?
@Erik Gilreath ya but as far away as he is i dont know how he reaches it. If you could throw a fast curveball that drops low and away i bet thats what he struck out on most.
Brings back a lot of good memories! 1970s & early 80s baseball. Got to love it!!
This announcing booth is tremendous. Keith Jackson can call any sport!
I loved that on college football Saturday. " good afternoon everybody,I'm Keith Jackson."
1980: C picks himself up and Houston plays ball.
2019: Runner is out, facing fine/suspension, benches and bullpens empty. Next Philly batter gets beaned, Houston batter gets beaned.
Butthurt all the way around.

Or he could have said, "dammit I've got $500 bucks bet that you would hit a double tonight you son of a bitch".
Howard was right. That 3-0 pitch was several inches off the plate and that's what Schmidt was protesting when walking back to the dugout.
Cry baby Schmidt. f him and Rose. Only one I liked on that team was Greg Luzinski.
Pete Rose’s drive, competitiveness and fire was second to none and likely none will ever compare. The man went all out to get the win.

Nope. Mets-Astros, 1986.
@@jflinn2010 Nope.
Catcher did not have possession of the ball, and tried to block the plate anyway. pete had every right to kick his ass and did so!
Catcher possession of the ball was not required to block the plate when baseball was a man's (not Manfred's) game. Further, if a catcher blocked the plate, the baserunner had carte blanche to collide. Ask Ray Fosse.
Yup… that’s how they rolled back then… Bochy took it like a man though, I gotta say…. He probably shoulda kicked Landestoy’s ass for making such a shitty throw…
He treated Bochy like a bitch. Gave him a left to the head just for the hell of it.
bitch slap
When baseball was baseball
Great series as I remember-LOL though at a drunk Howard Cosell trying to call balls and strikes...
+Paul Johnson would rather hear the Phillies broadcast instead of ABC's
One of the greatest NLCS ever. I believe except for one, all games went into extra innings.
Played that way and didn’t miss too many games. From 1973-1982 Rose only missed 5 games in 10 seasons and had 2 seasons where he played 163 games.
So what's your point? He's a giant sucking asshole.
Wow. I didn't know that. Greatest HALL OF FAMER
That pitch call to Schmidt was absolutely HORRENDOUS. CRIMINAL. MLB needs to get rid of UMPIRES
Remember watching that game when I was eleven years old.
Remember this one as a kid also , good times !
I was 12 when I saw this game.
1980 NLCS.......great series, I was 8yrs old at the time.
Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame....period !!!
I agree, but he decided to break the ultimate rule and lied about for 10 years. Then came clean to sell a book. He's a degenerate scumbag. Period.
Plus that was like Pete roses 20th season and still playing hard like that. Crazy
18th season.
@@jeffreymcfadden9403 crazy...
Pete Rose had no business scoring on that play! Hard hit ball to LF by Bull Luzinski. Good bounce to Jose Cruz. Landestoy HAS the ball when Pete is crossing third! Pete really did have good speed for a stocky dude --- and he was 39 here! A Man's Play is about to take place. Gotta catch the ball & maneuver. Don't get mad. This play was vintage Charlie Hustle.
Heck of a line up the Philadelphia philies had back then
truly one of the greatest humans EVER that walked the face of the Earth
PETER EDWARD ROSE
😂😂😂
Back when baseball was worth watching. No more.
Cosell : He looked like Roberto Duran coming in there. Priceless
That was great
Oh lord how Schmidt and Luzinski terrorized my 70s cub fan days.
I remember that play at the plate. They played that clip for the next 20 years! Ha!!!
Bruce Bochy was so afraid that Pete Rose was COMING for him that he couldn't even catch the ball!!!
600+ Martial Arts, Tai Chi, and Fitness Videos at my channel!
Kung Fu & Tai Chi Center w/ Jake Mace you know it.
What the average Fan doesn't see here is that it was a poor throw by the infielder.
Exactly Right , Bochy didn't want any of Rose but ended up getting some anyhow lol , Charlie Hustle gave him The Business with that left elbow for real 💪⚾
Rose led with the elbow on his hit on Fossey too , separated his shoulder and pretty much ended his career and that was in a meaningless All Star game . That's Hard-nosed Baseball , it's just the way he played . Strike fear in your opponent , make them think twice . That's what happened here , Bochy was more concerned about being run over than catching the ball and took his eyes off it in anticipation of the hit and let a run score . Roses reputation preceded him , Intimidation is ( or was ) a major part of his game , just like his hero , Ty Cobb .
radar0412 Absolutely , if you know your fixing to take a shot , don't just stand there , do something . It's like martial art , if you know your opponent is superior and you can't avoid there attack , you jam em' . That's what Bochy did . He knew he couldn't just get up and run away from Rose like he wanted too lol , so he leaned into him and jammed him . You still get the shit knocked out of you but you save Face .
I like this era of baseball
I'm in my mid 40s and this is how I was taught to play baseball
I didn’t care for bochy them and I love this play. Great series I loved it
Did Bochy whine?
Did the announcers ask for a review?
Nope, players played the game hard. Everything was better back then...
Amen brother. Amen
Rose was screaming as he approached Bouchy "Remember what I did to Fosse!"
Love it. That's the Pete Rose I know and love and that's how you play baseball: with intensity, passion and grit.
The ball was there with plenty of time,the cather played the bounce instead of moving up to catch it.
He and Trump.
Also he had bet a lot of money on that he would give Bruce a forearm shot in that game.
@@johns4515 If Bochy would have been a better catcher he would have tagged him out.
When you have money on the game, you give it your all
Not nice. But funny
jose cruz...most underated player ever
No. Tris Speaker was.
Jose Cruz was my favorite player when I was a kid, use to love how the announcer would call his name out when he came to bat
I saw a close-up of Cruz on a televised game one time when he had eye-black spread on his face to simulate mustache and beard. Unique character of the game.
I was 14, grew up in Houston, remember being heartbroken at the result of this series. I'd completely forgotten how long this series was. This one hurt more than the Astros/Mets a few years later.
The good days of baseball!!!!
Thanks for posting...great memory
Pete played to win
Today, so many of the players play for their next BIG contract and that includes trying not to get hurt.
Only when the odds favored him
“He looks like Roberto Duran”
One month later Howard would then make the call, “Duran has Quit!!!”
It's criminal that Rose isn't in the HOF.
No, it's not. He gambled on games he was managing. Unforgivable!
Pete Rose. King of the assholes.
He’s not a minority or he would have been “ forgiven “ and in the HOF years ago
Rose is the criminal. He broke one of the biggest rules in baseball.
Put the Black Sox in the HOF before Rose.
@@berkshirepete5189
He never bet on his team to lose, he never threw a game for profit. “Shoeless” Joe Jackson should be in as well.
Pete Rose should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, I don't care what anybody says. Simply the greatest.
Bruce Bochy has won more World Series Championships as a Manager than he did as a Player.
I was 17 on this night, what a CLASSIC series this was !! I loved The Phil's in these days !! The year before of course, Pittsburgh won it all .." We Are Family !! " GREAT DAYS !!
Not too many teams are down 3-1 in a series and win. Let alone with the last 2 away.
Big Phillies fan here. I do agree that Pete should stay away from MLB, but did anyone notice how Don and Howard are not saying how dispicable Pete's collision was? Because it wasn't. That was the game back then boys..... "Point is Don, the ball was there!" HA!
and catcher was blocking plate. But u r wrong----Rose deserves to be in HOF. Prob 90% or more of public thinks so
The rule regarding betting on baseball is clear and every ballplayer knows it. You bet on baseball, you are banned FOR LIFE! No exceptions. No second chances. What is there about that don't people understand?
As an Astros fan this and the 86 NLCs pains me but Pete Rose is an uber chad that should be forgiven and put in the Hall of Fame where he should be.
Charlie Hustle....Turning Singles to Doubles...Doubles to Triples.
#HOF
Miss those kid friendly 70's uniforms!
& early 80's
Pete Rose the greatest baseball player IMO. Is he still not in the hall of fame?
Nope and i doubt it'll ever happen while he's alive and maybe never. As long as Johnny bench is around to give his disapproval he won't make it in
Few things: Keith Jackson, Don Drysdale, Howard Costello on ABC…Drinking fountain in the dugout…And Charlie Hustle left it all on the field and absolutely should be in the HOF.
Luzinski looks like flatten anybody from today's game 😂
iz thefaithful
Never mind Rose, how’d you like Luzinski bearing down on you at the plate?
Damn 'E.A Hawley,' are you by chance related to John-Wayne Gacy? You look just as much a freak as he did.
This is still one of the best playoff series
And Cosell has to insert a boxing reference? Cosell knew as much about baseball as an aardvarck knows about a bank holiday.
The first pitch was a FOOT outside. Glad to see nothing in baseball has changed.
J.R. Richard had a chance for the Hall of Fame, but Sambito and Thon had no chance.
Houston gave a new meaning to the word CHOKE in that series
Rose would have ran over Grandma if she was the catcher on this play.......
Let’s not forget what Pete Rose did to Ray Fosse in the 1970 All Star game. Rose played the game that way all the time. Say what you want about him and gambling. As far as playing the game he played 100 % to win. To me he was the modern era Ty Cobb. Cobb did everything and more that Pete Rose did and he’s in the Hall of Fame. Rose should be sitting next to Cobb in Cooperstown. Period.
That was not a dirty play. Baserunner has every right to the basepath. Chsrlie Hustle played it hard, 100%. A HOF play.
Yep.
Pete Rose is the best player since Willie Mays and the best hitter in baseball since Ty Cobb.
