Game 1 is what makes baseball a damn beautiful game!!! As a 58 yr. old watching the Dodger/Yankee World Serieses in the 70s, this World Series is classic baseball and I, for one, am totally in!!!
At first, I totally misunderstood your comment. I thought you were 58 when watching a 70s series so I did the math, and I was like, holy shizz, this guy is like a 110 but still alive and loving baseball!! Da-yum,... you go, friend!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The Cortez call is getting critiqued , but the Doyers used a reliever coming back from injury in the same way. He punched out a few Yankees. Hit & miss. I've watched Freddie's grand slam at least 40 times, different angles, different announcers etc. Legendary.
There's a difference between a reliever being used as a reliever back from injury and a starter coming back from injury being used in an unfamiliar reliever role. Starters have a different mentality than a relief pitcher.
Yeah true. People will come up with all these differentiations. But at the end of the day we used someone coming off of injury to go up against good hitters.
@@thoughtfulbobcat1872 The last time the Dodgers won a World Series, the pitcher on the mound in the ninth inning of the final game was Julio Urias, a starter, being used as a reliever for that post-season.
I watched/read the post-game coverage of that game on numerous sports outlets and almost every analyst/writer is in agreement that it was a very poor decision.
I thought it was an awful call. You cannot compare Freeman's HR to Gibson's. Let Freeman's home run stand on it's own, it was a great moment, but it had very little in common with Gibson's home run and not nearly as dramatic. You cannot compare the two. You had to have been there for both to understand.
I was 13 in 1977 and 14 in 1978, and I agree 100% with you. We owe the Yankees so many World Series defeats, and one more win will just be another that we are paying them back for. It's going to feel so good! The Yankees won most of those World Series in the reserve clause era where they could hoard all the really good players because they could pay them more. Now, they can't always do that . Remind a Yankee fan of this when they come crying to you about losing the Series.
Dude, I was 8 too! I still remember the pain and the following year, my little mind thought, no way are they gonna lose to the Yanks again! So to this day, I hate the Yankees and revel in the pain I see in the fans eyes.
As a Canadian, I hate that we get stuck with the International broadcast instead of the Fox broadcast because I would much rather listen to Joe Davis on the call and Joe Buck before him.
1:32 “Playoff baseball, more than anything else, will always find the weaknesses of your team.” Well said. Other commentators have pointed out (especially after the infamous 5th game 5th inning) that the Yankees’ weaknesses in the fundamentals could be covered up by raw talent in the regular season only because they played against a lot of lesser teams.
Somehow Ice Cube cemented the victory. Homefield in the World Series is gonna huge going forward.....just for the opening alone. I remember Steve Perry help San Fran...it's no little thing.
Nothing is more disgusting than seeing people mock an injured player. I hope Yankees fans in other cities have a different mindset from the fans in NYC.
The result was surely tough for all Yank fans - BUT, the reality that you and your son witnessed a moment in World Series history that will be iconic for as long as baseball is remembered. That was my thought - Oh! … those lucky folks who were there to see and feel such a moment -
At the end of a forgotten and underrated Charles Bronson movie, 'Hard Times'....there's a quote from Speed, the gambler/bookie: ...the next best thing to playing and winning, is playing and losing. You only get a chance at a gut punch like that, to give it, or take it, if you're in the World Series man. As a Dodger fan, much respect to NY.
ISN'T COOPER AN LA NATIVE?!? I am, and as one sports fiend to another, it seems like Cooper missed out on likely THE BIGGEST IN PERSON, HISTORICAL MOMENT FOR HIS HOMETOWN CLUB. Yes. I get you are from Staten Island. But while he supports your choice to root for your hometown team, he lost out. Anyway, it was epic. In 1988 I had the privilege of being at all the NLCS games in LA and all the WS games too. (I knew a few people then! Lol) AND SAW GIBSON IN RL FROM FRONT OF THE RT FIELD BLUE SECTION. Watched the steal, saw the swing and then watched Canseco stop in his tracks, looking up, and we watched the ball land in the pavillon together! MY BLUE HEAVEN.
I was in the hospital in 1980 and my grandfather (a Yankee fan) said if they ever meet in the WS again that he'd take me. Well, the next year it happened! Those 3 games in L.A. were awesome. I got to see Fernando pitch and we won!
My earliest WS memory was Yankee pitcher Don Larsen’s perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Watched it on our family’s 23” black and white TV with the biggest sports fan in our family, my mom. I was only eight years old but I still remember Yogi Berra wrapping his arms and legs around Larsen after the last out. My mom had to explain to me what a “perfect game” was and why it was such a big deal.
My Dad took me to the WS in the 70s. Huge Dodger fans. I got to see Reggie hit 3 HRs. I'm 8. Sucked but still and epic memory with my dad. Your child will remember you and him together. That's what matters
Spent the whole weekend watching that highlights of Freddie"s grand slam, incredible sports theatre...But it means nothing if they dont win it all, LFG Dodgers!
It was glorious. Not an LA fan at all, but it was glorious. NY is so nostalgic, living off the past.....these days with the way teams develop, you cannot get anything helpful from your past....means nothing.
I'm glad "my" Dodgers could be of service. My first game 1966, diehard fan since '71. And my LA born mom loved the Dodgers since the Brooklyn days. I was born in LA 2.
Joe Davis is a fantastic broadcaster, I guess it just irks me that he is the Dodgers play by play guy. I'm sure Dodgers fans would feel the same if it was Michael Kay on the call
I feel bad for the Yankees truly. As much as I wanna see Shohei and Japan celebrate, I would like to see some life from the Yankees and give us another game like that game 1 banger.
Gibson and Freeman walk off home run, both were hurt effected running, batted left,, home run right field, happened same time at Dodger stadium, 8:538:59 , also first game of world series.
@henrywallacesghost5883 I'm not sure he would've taken it. He wants to hit the Market. But if the Yankees lose this World Series then have Soto go to the Dodgers right after that... That's a special kind of punch in the nards that you just don't see too often. I mean, damn.
BOONE sold that game, walking Mookie who was 0-3 at that point and as of late struggling against lefty’s. So you load up the bases, and you bring in Nestor who’s been out for 1 month prior. He throws a meatball down the plate, I think even Judge would’ve hit it.
@TheJupiterKnight No. All three games could've gone either way. After the first two in LA, I thought it was going to go to 7, home team winning each game.
I always liked your analysis commentary you're right.Their just a better ball club more depth Tommy we get him at trading deadline with all the stars he's the MVP last series with elite defense former gold glober with hitting power.
Rich did his kid wrong! His kid was born in L.A and raised in Los Angeles, they they forced their teams on him at an early age instead of letting him enjoy the teams from the city where he lives and getting to celebrate with all his friends!
I’m a diehard Dodger fan, but I have a bad feeling that Yankees are going to come back and win four in a row, because I know Dave Roberts will somehow screw this up, because he always does!
Verdugo threw the ball back onto the field while he was outside the fence. If he had climbed over the fence and back onto the playing field before making the throw the runners would not have been given the extra base. This is the rule as I understand it.
I enjoyed the game at home with my son. We ran around the house celebrating like we hit the grand slam! The BEST MEMORIES, EVER!! Going to the game is overrated and overpriced.
Yes, I was there with my son and grandson. A great memory for the three of us to share forever.
As a die hard LA fan I’ve been waiting for this segment all weekend 😂🎉… love you RE consulting!

Can we talk about how perfect the call was by Joe Davis?
I thought he threw a salute to Vin.
@@turtle19dad he did
Perfection !
The whole 360 at bat as he waits for the pitcher and the way the blimp angle(i wanna guess) shows the whole top view of dodger stadium

Loved Davis emulating Scully with "She iiiiisss gone!"
Agreed. Love it!!
That he had the presence of mind to say it. He’s really a fan of the sport. It makes me teary-eyed! 🥹
To witness a historic game is priceless. Win or lose, the memory will stay forever.
I was there too Rich! Magical Night! Go Dodgers!!!💙
I know how your son feels, watching Reggie hit 3 homers was hard to recovery from as an 8 year old Dodger fan.
If it makes you feel any better I was 12 in 78 when Bucky "Fucking" Dent hit that homer off Mike Torrez. Still hurts
to this day.
+1

I was 3 so I fortunately don’t remember. My first Dodger memory was 1981, so I’m 2-0 vs the Yanks.

Try to stream it from a free site 😉 and they’ll have the American version for sure
I have to agree that by the time Ice Cube dropped the mic at home plate before the start of Game 2, the vibe was in the Dodgers' favor.
1:32 “Playoff baseball, more than anything else, will always find the weaknesses of your team.” Well said. Other commentators have pointed out (especially after the infamous 5th game 5th inning) that the Yankees’ weaknesses in the fundamentals could be covered up by raw talent in the regular season only because they played against a lot of lesser teams.
These emotions are why we love Sports...the narrative of pure competition is intoxicating.
Yeah and my first WS memory as a kid was the Yankees beating my Mets in the subway series. So I hope the dodgers sweep in 4
I knew it was over for NY when Cube went out, dude is a living legend.
He was bagging on the Yankees and they were still dancing. He hypnotized them!
Somehow Ice Cube cemented the victory. Homefield in the World Series is gonna huge going forward.....just for the opening alone. I remember Steve Perry help San Fran...it's no little thing.
Nothing is more disgusting than seeing people mock an injured player.
I hope Yankees fans in other cities have a different mindset from the fans in NYC.
Dude, not every fan in NYC was cheering to see Shohei injured
That grandslam was awesome!!
France was showing off when they gifted us the Freddie "Freedom" Freeman Statue of Liberty in NY.
Jets and Yankees. Tough weekend for Rich 😆😆

The Dodgers have a better team than the Yankees do on paper, and on the field and they are proving it in this series.
Spent the whole weekend watching that highlights of Freddie"s grand slam, incredible sports theatre...But it means nothing if they dont win it all, LFG Dodgers!
One more to go!!!!
I guess the “good” news for Yankee fans is that, after game 5, top of the 5th, this memory is no longer the most painful one from this World Series.
I thought about this when he said that’s the worst way he’s seen his team lose 😂 little did he know 😅
It was glorious. Not an LA fan at all, but it was glorious. NY is so nostalgic, living off the past.....these days with the way teams develop, you cannot get anything helpful from your past....means nothing.
So funny man I have been waiting for Rich’s reaction to game 1 but I didn’t know he was a Yankees fan 😂 no wonder it took a few days to come out
Torres missed the ball, but Ohtani’s advance to third was on Rizzo, who should have followed the play.
So this weekend was a triple kick to the collective Eisen family nards. 🎉🎉
Nards… now there is a word I haven’t heard in a while!
One can only hope that the Freeman HR also featured a pair of brake lights flashing at the moment the ball left the park.
My favorite call is by a Spanish station with the announcer saying “grand slam salami”.
Sounds like Trump talking about Albert Palmer!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Where can I hear it ?
Baseball is the definition of "ball finds you" the game comes at you fast and humbles you even faster
I'm glad "my" Dodgers could be of service. My first game 1966, diehard fan since '71. And my LA born mom loved the Dodgers since the Brooklyn days. I was born in LA 2.
Joe Davis is a fantastic broadcaster, I guess it just irks me that he is the Dodgers play by play guy. I'm sure Dodgers fans would feel the same if it was Michael Kay on the call
I'm pretty sure that Davis is better than Kay at broadcasting without partiality.
Was waiting for Rich’s take on the World Series! lol
I feel bad for the Yankees truly. As much as I wanna see Shohei and Japan celebrate, I would like to see some life from the Yankees and give us another game like that game 1 banger.
Lifelong Oakland A’s fan; My first World Series game was Game 4 in 1990. Still stings.
YANKEES LOSE!
YANKEES LOSE!
YANKEES LOSE!
Thuuuuuuh-uuuuh-uuuuh-uh Yankees lose!
@@davidhornbeck1470I like how he calls the Yankee games… except for that 👆🏼!
Dodgers are far better than the Yankees! The pitching has been lights out! Go Dodgers!
I watched the Gibson HR hours before the game.
Gibson and Freeman walk off home run, both were hurt effected running, batted left,, home run right field, happened same time at Dodger stadium, 8:53 8:59 , also first game of world series.
Fans got their money’s worth, even though it was thousands of dollars.
LET’S GO DODGERS!
was there too, still get chills, brrrrrr
Gibsonian is now a word in the dictionary. Freeman's hr can only truly be described in that fashion.
I was there. Best game of my life. Will never be topped.
Just wait until Game 5! Are you in for a treat…
@ wasn’t there sadly. But my father in law took me to game 1 and was also at game 5. Crazy
Wow he acted like Freddie freeman isn’t an absolute beast. Like oh you had to get by Freddie after getting the real stars out ? 🙄
5:49 spoken like a true sportsman. Much respect.
that was pretty hilarious - that bit about cube
What is he referring to at 8:56?
To pour some salt on that wound, it looks like the Dodgers are serious about signing Soto this offseason too.
Yankees should have offered him a deal after they aquired him because there is definitely gonna be a few teams with the money that can grab him.
@henrywallacesghost5883 I'm not sure he would've taken it. He wants to hit the Market.
But if the Yankees lose this World Series then have Soto go to the Dodgers right after that... That's a special kind of punch in the nards that you just don't see too often.
I mean, damn.
NO on Soto the hotdog
No. We don't want him.
Freeman#5 Gibson#23..2+3=5….coincidence…🤔 GO DODGERS!!!
Freddie Freeman is in full-on Kelly Leak mode right now.
Rich is about to be upset again, Freddie Freeman is now part time owner of the Yankees.
Reminds me of taking my dad to our first WS game 10 yrs ago and we got crushed.
1:30 Rich Eisen said became true and will forever haunt the Yankees in that game 5.
He said toughest Yankees loss he’s seen.
Yankees game 5 said, “HOLD MY BEER”
Dodger 🧢 Blue in 4 games 🧹....
Enjoy your day...
Season ending Greetings from Northern NewEngland.
👋😅👌
He was at the game today for sure, that home run in the first 10 minutes must’ve SSSSTTUUUNNNGGGG
Was that an nhl goal scoring style bat raise from Freddie ?

Gday from Melbourne,Oz.
My first WS watched live on TV was the 1981 series.
I was glued to that TV and became a Dodgers fan from the first game.❤
Try being an A's fan in "88. Welcome to my painful Dodger world.
havn't watched or cared about baseball in 20years but rich makes it...usually somewhat interesting.
As a Yankee fan, Dodgers in 4
there`s no hope for the Yanks?
@@jackprescott9652nope. It’s over
Yeah, after tonight, this seems to be very likely.
@TheJupiterKnight
No. All three games could've gone either way.
After the first two in LA, I thought it was going to go to 7, home team winning each game.
I like this but not as much as when you reacted to TCU beating Michigan.
I always liked your analysis commentary you're right.Their just a better ball club more depth Tommy we get him at trading deadline with all the stars he's the MVP last series with elite defense former gold glober with hitting power.
There’s games like that in baseball all the time, of course this stands out because it’s the World Series
GO DODGERS!!!
You guys are fk’n great.
Yankees are gonna tie this up at 2-2 next 2 games. It’s not over at all. And I’m a Dodger fan!
As a fellow Dodgers fan, I’m glad this statement didn’t age well.
Rich did his kid wrong!
His kid was born in L.A and raised in Los Angeles, they they forced their teams on him at an early age instead of letting him enjoy the teams from the city where he lives and getting to celebrate with all his friends!
“His first World Series game”, I’m probably never gonna be able to go one dang
How's he feeling now???
Had no clue about that rule. Thought it was first and second
So glad Rich got to see his east coast team get grand slammed😂
Did not know that both home runs were just a min apart 😮
Look the Yankees aren't playing fundamental baseball , THEY'ER NOT THAT GOOD.
Get ready for the greatest comeback in sports history Yankees in 7 🗽🗽
Greatest choke job in sports history. The 2004 Yankees. 🤣🤣🤣

Uh, Rich, the Royals and Guardians and not in the same atmosphere as the Dodgers!
So happy that you were disappointed by game one.. but the best was still to come... GO DODGERS
It was a "shot heard round the world" statement.
Being a Houston fan... i suppose we can have joint custody of the Yankees with LA🤷♂️
They down 3-0 now. It is over.
I’m a diehard Dodger fan, but I have a bad feeling that Yankees are going to come back and win four in a row, because I know Dave Roberts will somehow screw this up, because he always does!

Verdugo threw the ball back onto the field while he was outside the fence.

This is the rule as I understand it.
I was at Game 2. Good Times
Why have cohosts if you dont ever let them talk?
We want JETS talk!
Jets suck!! That's all the talk you need😂
jets suck lol
Freddie just replaced Kirk as the most memorable HR in the post season in Dodgers history.
I enjoyed the game at home with my son. We ran around the house celebrating like we hit the grand slam! The BEST MEMORIES, EVER!! Going to the game is overrated and overpriced.
Gutted? Move the tf outta LA 😂
I hope he wasn’t there today when Freddie hit a two run home run IMMEDIATELY 😭😩
Those similarities between Gibson and Freeman is why I was afraid the Dodgers could lose 4 games on a row. The Dodgers do Dodger things. GO BLUE!
