The BROADCASTING CONTROVERSY Between ABC and the New York Mets (1988)
On Memorial Day, 1988, the New York Mets were set to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday Night Baseball on ABC. However, after a 34-minute rain delay, ABC did the unthinkable, in a move that made no sense considering the circumstances, and in a move that ticked off just about every Mets fan in New York, and the Mets organization themselves.

The STRANGEST FOX BROADCASTING CONTROVERSY of the 1999 MLB Season
zhlédnutí 3,9KPřed rokem
For the final week of the 1999 MLB season, the FOX affiliate in Madison, Wisconsin, WMSN, had two options for games to show. Option one was to pick the battle between the Milwaukee Brewers, the hometown team, and the Cincinnati Reds, who were tied for the division lead in the NL Central and were fighting for a playoff spot. Option two was to show a meaningless game between the St. Louis Cardina...
Dumb Decisions: St. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds (5/22/2023)

You've got a runner on 1st and 3rd with no one out, and it's the bottom of the 10th inning in a tied game. Option 1: pitch to the guy who's been the best hitter on the Reds today. Option 2: load up the bases to get the force out at home, and bring up a 6-7-8 order that's been anemic during this game and as of late. Well, guess which one the St. Louis Cardinals and manager Oli Marmol decided to ...

Dum-dee-dum-dumb!!!!😂
Love this channel x 10!!!!!🎉
If this channel is as good as JG9, we're in for a treat!!!!🎉
You have a MLB channel too??!? Good Lord, it can't get any better than this!!!😊
Tom Yawkey, Red Sox owner at the time was a noted racist. So the demand for Smith’s return might’ve come from the front office and not the dugout.
9:30 NBC went to the puck drop, instead of the usual pregame ceremonies, prior to Game 2 of the 2015 Stanley Cup Final in Tampa.
12:21 My reaction to Alec Martinez's 2OT goal vs. NY Rangers as NBC aired Games 1, 2 and 5 from LA and NBCSN aired Games 3 and 4 from NY. NBC made the biggest mistake, by not airing Game 4, and air Game 2 instead after their coverage of "Belmont Stakes." Along with missing a Tetris crash livestream from MylesTheGreat.
I love the Yankees, but c'mon man, it's the Fonz we're talking about. Who can resist the allure Henry Winkler?
It would be good for JG to realize that he can just provide context without an extended announcement that he is going to provide context. One day it may happen.
This guy is an idiot
14:11 Please don’t give this Pirates fan nightmares about Randall Simon no more. I want to see the Pirates win just one World Series in my lifetime.
Some decent pitchers just can't find success in New York: Doyle Alexander, Ed Whitson, and Steve Trout, who pitched back-to-back shutouts with the Cubs in 1987 before being traded to the Yankees and going 0-4 with a 6.60 ERA.
As a Tigers fan, F John Denver lol. Kidding. Silly shit happened between celebs and sports teams all the time. But John Denver was a good enough guy. He’s a fan of another team, let’s move on. Lol.
ESPN should’ve aired three games at the same time. One airing in one market; the other on another market; and the remainder seeing the primary game.
ESPN switched telecasts, due to a possibility of Nolan Ryan not playing that day. ESPN2 didn’t exist, back then. ESPN2 also aired extra NBA and NHL games.
If Mets brought him in the top of the 9th of the 1988 NLCS Game 4 they would have probably won the World Series
Can't hide racism forever!🤬
12:48 they did tell people to come watch warren Morris play... At the beginning of the season before he showed how much suck he possessed 🤣
What is he Tim Scott or Clarence Thomas a Donald Trumph supporter.
Hello. Future baseball fan and Dodger watcher here. You thought this story was wild? Wait until you hear the one about Shohei Ohtani and his interpreter...
He was one pitcher i didnt want the yankees to go out & get i knew he would be a problem for the yankees instead of a plus 1982 was just not a good season for the yankees and he was not the solution he was bombed everytime he pitched one of the worst player the yankees ever had
I can't believe you stretched this out for almost 14 minutes... This is so stupid
This did not last long at all
True, they were 35-5, but then they came to play my city's Seattle Mariners at the Kingdome and the M's swept the 3-game series. I remember the (Sunday May 27, 1984) final game of the series, where many fans brought brooms.
That was me that missed the ball. If you want to know what happened it was that the ball split the top yellow seam of the padded wall and it hit the rail behind the pad and went back on the field. The reason I was stretching for the ball instead of going to it was that those were stairs going down to the tunnel. I had already fell down those stairs a week before getting a Dave Justice home run. So I didn’t feel like falling down those stairs a second time. I had three television sports news interviews that night a front page news article in Sun Sentinel the next morning and four radio interviews the next day including one with Hank Goldberg and Al Downing. I always thought I would play in the pros but got hurt. So I did get my 15 minutes of fame!!!
My dad* not day
lol that was my day😂😂😂
Yeah, I remember this. I was bummed. It tarnished my opinion of Denver a bit. Although, I thought I remembered Denver actually saying he didn't like the Tigers. I see I was wrong.
Never heard a word about this, Believe this in 1984 the Tigers were our sports obsession and I'm quite suprised . Denver made some great music, but I could see the Tigers finding a new tune considering the "rival" narrative at the time. But Tigers fans true rival was always the New York Yankees they were the standard you measured your team to then there was everyone else period.
The guy who asked for the autograph was named Gary Perone,he was from my hometown Staten Island,and according to NYT, didn't accept his apology,as he claimed it came from the organization and not Hayes. Mariano Duncan apologized for him during the altercation
I don't understand,he had to have changed his attitude he is invited back to every old timers day.
58-6 total code x
martinez was right, offense is about the last thing you judge a catcher on and looking at the stats goff was much worse defensive catcher, so much so that the expos never played him at that position in the future.
The first eight minutes consists of saying the Tigers played the song during the fifth inning and that John Denver liked the Orioles. Get to the point!
As usual, you're completely overblowing this. They didn't hate each other, and this wasn't really a drama. This channel is pure trash.
The Mets were oversaturated on both ABC Monday Night games & NBC GOTW Saturdays in this era. I get it, huge market & The Mets were actually a very good team from 1984-90
As an Indians fan back in the 90’s, I still cannot believe John Hart traded Brian Giles to Pittsburgh for Ricardo Rincon.
0:39 the year 1988 to be precise. Davey Johnson was Mets manager at the time
i grew up in detroit at the time and never heard of this controversy
I guess the team was rocked for 1982 losing Reggie Jackson but did seem to rebound in 1983 back into contention? They did win 91 games in 1983
He was really talented, but 3 things: 1. His own teammate was ahead by 20-25 points in the batting race, so it was not all that close. He was not winning the batting title on his own team. 2. In those days, sitting out was frowned upon, especially when the team doc clears him. Everyone was treated that way. Everyone! 3. I tend to trust the team sentiment. I think you are digging on this one.
It's been almost a year since the last upload on this channel.

I recall all this and wasn’t a big deal. The song was played out here in Detroit by 84. I recall for fact using in 1977. We the farthest thing from a “country boys”. Except Downriver Boys 😉. Song was more for Herbie and the crew to dance to. But this was NOT a big deal. Monaghan purchased team in 84 and changed a lot of things.
Tigers were playing Denver song since 1978 at least. I was there and recall singing the song and hated it. Ya it’s came a story in 84 (got Herbies Auto too). But do a story on why Detroit city even played this song. Ya we had our “Bleachers Creatures”. But wanna story on the Detroit PA idiot who even picked the song.
racist prank on Nomo. couldn't bare to see this successful East Asian succeed in America, and make the people in question look lesser than they thought of themselves...it is what it is. weak people in positions of power/authority...
As a kid who grew up with the chance to go to some late 90s and early 2000s games, some days those pierogie races were really the highlight of the game for home fans 😂😂
