What a f-ing game... What a year 84 was. People in this city talked about this game all year. Many still speak of it now.
Costas puts this game into context perspective like only he can. He is a true story teller.
As part of work, a group of us were in weekly communication with a Cub fan in the Loop who would usually be in his way to Wrigley to catch a home game when we called. Amongst my group was a Tiger fan who ended up razzing him to see if he had bought his World Series tickets yet. The Chicago guy didn't answer he would claiming the Billy Goat jinx until after this game.
I am a Cubs fan that has never been to Chicago, because of WGN in the 80s and Harry Carey.
SAME HERE!!! ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
You have to go to wrigley one day
@@jewsco This comment was from two years ago, I have since been to Chicago and got to go to a game at Wrigley this past June. It was magical, definitely a bucket list moment.
@@vanadyan1674 nice I am glad you got there . I am born and raised in chicago and going to wrigley is still special
6-23-84 I became an instant Bob Costas fan. During the second homer he said, " Do you believe it, it's gone". Very reminiscent of Al Micheals with the Miracle on Ice in 1980. At least to this little bone head Cubs fan watching from his parents' family room.
An unforgettable game in an unforgettable summer of baseball in Chicagoland
the sandberg game set the cubs 84 season
LONG before Michael Jordan put on a bulls uniform...Sandberg made #23 popular here in Chicago.
Jordan had just been drafted by the Bulls earlier that week.
I mark my golf ball with a blue 23 in honor of Ryno. I always wear a Chicago sports related polo and have Bulls or bears towels on the bag. Inevitably someone will say, 23? MJ? I always have to correct them. Nope. Ryno. My guy.
NBC televised the game and before it was over named Willie McGee the Player of the Game for the Ryne Sandberg Game.
At the precise time of the announcement, McGee was the MVP. But that changed very quickly
Funny thing is that Bob Costas and Tony Kubek were the "B" broadcast team for NBC's MLB Game of the Week in the 80's. Vin Scully & Joe Garagiola were the "A" team. They helped make those games feel extra special.
Its funny the broadcast tried to end the game & Ryno wouldnt let it.
I was only 5 yrs old. Just learned something new!😊
I happened to be home to watch that game. Ryno and I are the same age. I told my friends when he first came to Cubs Ryno will be an all star someday....I thought it would be for his defense. Ryno became a five tool player and after that game I would tell my friends....Ryno may make it to The Hall of Fame someday! I was there at the "Ryneshirement" with my sons in Cooperstown. In my house when you think of Number 23...no disrespect to M.J. .....Its Ryne Sandberg!
And it was Ryne Sandberg Day at Wrigley. The promotional giveaway item was a Sandberg trading card.
That's when I Ioved baseball
I’ll ALWAYS associate Rich Eisen with ESPN AND the NFL Network!!!
Sandberg had the third best game of the day. Willie McGee hit for the cycle and had 6 RBI. Ozzie Smith was all over the field making great plays, plus hits and stolen bases. What made the game so legendary was the multiple great performances -- Bob Dernier also had a great day. But it became the Sandberg game because it came against the rival Cardinals, baseball's team of the eighties, and the game tying homers came off Bruce Sutter, baseball's best reliever, almost unhittable at that time with his split finger, who had previously been with the Cubs. This was but 5 years after the retirement of Lou Brock, who was traded to the Cardinals by the Cubs in the most lopsided deal in baseball history, leading to three world series appearances for the Cardinals and two more decades of ignominy for the Cubs. And the Cardinals had won another world series just two years prior to this, so this wasn't just victory it was vindication. The Sandberg game could only have been more epic had it led to a world series victory that year for the Cubs, and it should have, but of course they gagged, which actually makes the story perfect, if not epic.
i never heard of no "sandberg game" 'till like three years ago! it's a product of the twenty-teens! "the sandberg game" my a$$!!
It was a huge deal that year.
@@Tommyd479 oh......if you say so.
Nah, I’m from Chicago and I remember it being called that back in the 80s and 90s
@@paleobiology i lived in decatur in the 80's and i don't remember any mention of any sandberg game. i reverse the right to be wrong.
Must be a Deadbirds fan. 😂
