Indeed when they did this flu scam and tried to shut down earth due to tyramts, i realized i will never go to another game, as i will not support socialisim. Mlb and Nfl decided to throw cash at that group that decieves ignorant persons.... While pretending to care about rights. No body has any rights under medical martial law. How is this when less people died in 20 than 19 18 or 17 in the USa. How is a. 99.997 petcent survival rate a heath emergency. If i had a 99.997 chance of surviving a surgery id take it. This flu s avg age of death is ppl 2 years older than the annual average for expected lifespan.
When Wwii generation died our nation lost its soul. God must be our Leader. Glory to god! Turn mens Hearts to you now. We need help. Guide ypur people. .help me help them.
@@bobabooey4537Mickey Rivers wasn’t too shabby either. He looked like he needed assistance to get to the batters box but was grease lighting on the base paths.
Hoyt and Ryan (with a Padres helmet) each batted in this game. That was nuts. Each side only had eight pitchers on the roster. Today it feels like each side has 20 or more pitchers.
Man there will never be another Nolan Ryan. Stop and think that by this time - most people in MLB thought he was winding down his career. Hence they had him throw out the first pitch with Pete Rose, who incidentally WAS really winding down his career. Nolan already had 4000 strikeouts and had thrown five no-hitters by this time. Well he'd throw TWO more no-hitters and accumulate well over 1000+ MORE strikeouts in EIGHT more seasons - and was already 38!!! Simply incredible. His strikeout totals and 7 no-hitters are records that will NEVER even be approached, let alone broken. Pitchers don't routinely throw complete games anymore.
These great, great baseball players were like Gods to a kid growing up in a small Michigan town....I don't know if the game was ever better than during the 80s...one of the most underrated player was Jose Cruz who played for Houston. People forget the greatness of the ever introverted Eddie Murray in Baltimore. In the early 80s, cable television swept thru my small town thereby allowing me to watch WOR out of New York just in time for the rise of the Mets; TBS for Braves games; and WGN for the Cubbies. From Big East Mondays on ESPN where we could watch those great Big East College basketball games to the beginning of a whole summer of baseball games every single night. Great memories....some of which have a tendency to make my 51 year old tear up! I just can not imagine a better decade to be a teenager than the 80s!
who hates Pete Rose? nobody and we all know it's wrong he's not in HOF. Sports leagues everywhere allow gambling , and Pete bet on his team to win, so whats the problem. He didn't take steroids like half of baseball in 80's-90's.
Even as a Yankees fan, Ryno was one of my favorites! I played 2nd base in little league, and looked up to him. On another note, The Expos always had great representation in The All-Star Game in the early, and middle 80's, and Tony Gwynn is probably the most underrated player in my lifetime. Good lord what a hitter he was!
I was 21 years old and my Tigers were World Series champs the year before. Sparky Andersons hiring in Detroit was the entire highlight of our life in my neighborhood.
Luke Enno Sad that Jack Morris didn’t get a better ovation during the introductions. Molly, Bert, Winfield all got a hometown welcome. Even Gary Ward got more love. Morris, I guess, just had to wait a couple years for his just due.
@@youngtopher A 10 inning CG shutout to win the WS helped that. PS Didn't know that Blyleven played with Cleveland. I knew he briefly played for the Pirates and Rangers.
@@bluebird925 I remember Joe used to host a game show on tv. Occasionally he would hold up a sponsor’s product and talk about it as advertisement.

Lou Whitaker's at bat is at 44:50 and they mentioned that he forgot his uniform so he had to get a replica Tigers shirt, someone else's Tigers pants, and Twins stockings and his number had to be put on by a marking pencil. Vin Scully referring to this as the sorriest excuse for a big league uniform is pretty funny. And yet the jersey is at the Smithsonian.
I came here to see Lou Whitakers makeshift uni but realized as I was watching, Da Bears were in training camp getting ready to win SB XX. I am the same age as the SB.
It's sad to say that the jersey Sweet Lou bought from a Metrodome souvenir stand in 1985 looks better than the lame home jerseys the Tigers are wearing in 2018.
And, how can we forget Mel Allen's This Week In Baseball evey Saturday that featured TWIB notes. Johnny Bench had a weekly show titled The Baseball Bunch.....one episode featured Phil Niekro and how he threw his knuckleball....
Yeah, but he got really hot in the 2nd half of the season, when The Yankees got on a roll in August and September. He was hitting .309 with 9hrs and 69RBIs, while The Yankees were 49-36. He finished the year hitting .324 with 35Hrs and 145RBIs. But I think because Murray was the established veteran he got the votes. Although Mattingly won the batting title in 1984, he was still an up an coming player. Mattingly was my favorite player when i was growing up, and always felt he got robbed of starting in All-Star games
as a Padres fan, the only thing that mattered in 1985 was the injury to Allen Wiggins destroying what should have been a good year. Dominating the All Star Lineup was just the final reward for an overachieving 1984 team that was on its way down. Also another reminder that Pete Rose is a top 5 all time player.
Notice how Dick Williams conveniently has his back turned when Sparky is introduced at 21:20 so he won't have to shake his hand. Still butt hurt from the '84 World Series, I guess....

MLB was a lot more lenient when it came to ASG player apparel back in the day. We all know about Lou Whitaker's souvenir stand uniform, but what's up with The Cobra and Charlie Hustle wearing BP jerseys in the All-Star Game?
So TK had another All Star Appearance besides his two times managing the AL. Also Blyleven hadn’t been traded to MInnesota yet. He would be traded shortly after this game.
@@travismcdonald6576Almost every player on a Dick Williams team felt that way sometime during the season.THat’s why he moved around so much. He lost the clubhouse.
What's up with all the Padres? Yeah, I do know, thank you, that they were the 1984 NL champs, but San Diego has never been a baseball hotbed and a lot of the players they have in this game are aging, fading stars and mercenaries outside of Gwynn.
No I am not in favor of the Designated Hitter, but since we are here let''s go ahead and realign the teams according to geography. No need for an NL and AL designation anymore
2 comments - 1. The white sox uniforms sucked. 2. really miss Sparky Anderson. There doesn't seem to be the really colorful managers in baseball anymore. We need more guys like Sparky, Billy Martin, Tommy Lasorda, even Lou Pinnella, who retired recently. They brought so much entertainment to the game of baseball.

my favorite player of all time! I go through and watch all these old games just to watch him play again!
One of the most exciting players? How about the greatest lead off hitter of all time.... still.

Interesting to see how differently they played the All Star Game back then.
