- Clips of Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco when they were known as "The Bash Brothers" and when they played on other teams later on in their careers. Clips span from between 1988 and 2000.
There should be a 30 for 30 documentary on the Bash Brothers. That would be fascinating.
with how things are looking for the A's going to Vegas, there should be a documentary about all 3 Bay Area sports teams' greatness. Raiders, A's, Warriors
That would be a great 30 for 30
People can say what they want about steroids and baseball.. but all I know is these 2 were an absolute blast to watch growing up as a kid. They were literally larger than life.
Agreed, I had posters of them on my wall. I tried to mimic their swings (and Rickey Henderson's). That A's team of the late 80's was awesome!!
infntnub I completely agree
Agreed. McGwire was like a superhero to me as a kid
I agree,people who don’t know baseball don’t realize Mac hit 49 bombs as a skinny little rookie in 87. Several over 450ft.
They didn't start until later in their careers, if I'm not mistaken. So their first few years were legit.
Because of the chase by McGwire and Sosa's in 98, ppl seem to forget that alot of other guys had awesome seasons in 98 as well. Canseco hit 46 with toronto. Bonds had close to 40 and almost did 30/30 again, griffey had what 56, Bagwell, albert belle had what 48 or so... and others all had great years too. 1998 was a fun season to watch overall, not just the chase. 1998 was everything that 1994 was shaping to be before the strike.
That Oakland team of the late 80's / early 90's sure was intimidating. Rickey leading off, these two lumbering hulks, plus other guys like Hendu, Lansford and Steinbach. Opposing pitchers must have had serious anxiety facing that lineup! The swag, forearm bash celebrations etc. just added to their dominant image. Amazing they didn't win more.
Part of the reason they didn't win more then one WS was that they didn't have players that played with heart. They needed players like a Lou Piinella or Paul O' Neill who weren't flashy but were winners. The A's almost had to many superstars for their own good.
YESIIIRRR! That's, when I became a fan.
@naz de Except in the 1988 World Series, when Kirk Gibson.......never mind.
Dave Stewart on the mound. That team should have won four or five WS.
And Dave Henderson.
Ahhh, the good old days with the juice brothers.
They're the reason I am a long-lasting A's fan.
This As team as kid was so fun to watch. Canseco , McGwire , Rickey Henderson.
My best buddy was an A's fan back then and I was a RedSox fan. Ill take my Clemens, Boggs, and Greenwell
You can't have a highlight compilation of Jose Canseco without including his best play, the off the top of the head home run when he was with the Rangers
The Bash Brothers are the reason why I became a baseball fan..Mark McGwire will always be my favorite player.
Canseco's moon shot in Toronto is amazing.
Watched that live as a 10 year old kid loving the A's. He did that in the ALCS. Rickey Henderson had just hit a home run in to the black backing at SkyDome and Canseco topped it with a home run I still honestly can't believe
YeuxDeBleu not that amazing considering he was juicing
firebird_SPLEEN you think its easy to hit a 97 mph fastball??? Juiced up or not if you cant hit and dont have talent you not even touching it... These guys were really good...
@@gringonewyork1994 steroids helps your hand eye coordination. I hit pitchers that fast in highschool. Faced 2 that threw that hard and hit em well. These guys are cheaters though. They were my favorites and my heroes when i was little, but finding out they cheated makes my childhood feel cheated. Real ball is the golden era not the steroid era
The pitcher, Mike Flanagan, offed himself with a shotgun in 2011.
I don't care what these two might have put in their bodies. They sure made baseball fun to watch growing up as a young boy in the 1980's and 1990's.
U damn right. I miss it and it is missed badly by fans
@Trumpenstein what are you on about dude this has nothing to do with trump
Agreed, baseball was fun, and that A's team should've won at least three rings with all that talent.
Best era of baseball ever
Exactly, i wouldnt have had my childhood any other way.
Both these guys were awesome to watch. I miss these days.
Canseco is the prototypical baseball player. In his prime there was no one better in the history of the game.
Barry Bonds
@@keithsmith8975Bo Jackson
Ken Griffey JR? Frank Thomas?
I think Bo was another Hershal Walker - I don't believe Bo was on the juice. Bo - like Kobe & Hershal - had these super hero personas - on the athletic field - Like "Ricky" (Henderson) - though I might argue Ricky had sum juice.
Griffey - no juice ... Had Griffey juiced - 1,000 HRs.
This is the team I fell in love with as a kid 💚🐘⚾🥁🏟️🌳 Oakland A's forever!!! #SellTheTeam
it was a great time, growing up in the Bay in the late 80s through 90s
Will the Thrill, Mitchell, Rod Beck, the Eck, Canseco, Big Mac, Hendu, Rickey
Was in college at the time in the Bay Area. Really takes me back to that time of life. Unique, special time. The A’s where fun. Glad the won at least one WS.
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 Mitchell and Clark finished 1 and 2 in MVP votes in 1989! That same season, Dave Stewart, Mike Moore and Eck were all in the top voting for Cy Young award! Great teams, great players for both SF and OAK!
Such a great time you guys decided to do it again 30 years later albeit with the orange and black and blue and gold winning the titles(6 in 10 years. 3 giants, 3 warriors with additional finals appearances by the 49'ers and sharks)
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 don't forget about the Dave Stewart stare down
Jose wasn't swinging for singles lol
Hell naw 😂😂😂
My buddy was the one with that McGwire’s Mark sign for game three of the World Series where he hit the walk off. I didn’t notice it at the time, but when I went to see him after the game, he showed it to us. We were in awe of him.
God I miss this team. Never missed a game.
I remember that Canseco grand slam in the World Series. At that point, we all thought they were going to roll the Dodgers and then later that game Gibson ended the World Series in game one for the first time in history.
As much as it pains me that we lost that series, I’m grateful for having witnessed that moment. In my opinion, it was the most remarkable and unbelievable moment in baseball history.
Joseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
And I'm mark
TGA_ Gaming lmao see this on every bash bro vid
That McGwire shot hitting the budweiser sign insane !!!!!

@@ewoudachterberg8925 "And I never leave the shower so they never see me cryin'"
@@SpoopySquid You're just a scared little boy in the body of a giant
A freakshow of science
Both Conseco and McGwire stood 6-5 and weighed 250 pounds. Two big musclehead monsters on the same team. Even though they were juiced, they were so good, it was scary.
They should bring back steroids,it's their body not mine.
@@heraldomedrano6993 and how that helps the PITCHERS?
Canseco was 6'3" or 6'4".
@@towardsheaven4196 Roger Clemens?
Jayelbee. But they were so good BECAUSE they were cheating and they did it knowingly.
So maybe these guy were juiced up a bit, but you still have to know how to swing, and have a good eye to hit balls like that. They were great hitters.
They look small compared to the steroid players now days
Steroids help your hand eye coordination and recovery..
yeah and you need the internet to type comments on the internet.
Sorry, but great hitters combine power with average, or with high average alone. McGwire's .263 BA and Canseco's .266 hardly make them great hitters. Great "power" hitters? I will give you that, for that is pretty much all they did. Well, Canseco could hit doubles a bit. McGwire, on the other hand hit less than half as many doubles as HR. 1 dimensional is what McGwire was.
+kyokogodai Maybe so, but McGwire averaged over two bases per hit for his entire career. Even Ted Williams couldn't do that. Babe Ruth just made it (though he hit 76 points higher than McGwire). Ted Williams - 1.84 bases per hit. Babe Ruth - 2.02 bases per hit. Mark McGwire - 2.24 bases per hit. McGwire didn't hit a lot of doubles because he was hitting home runs instead.
Canseco has always been one my favorite. I seen him in Madison when he was a minor leaguer
5:35 is the longest homer I've ever seen at a game in person. Even with the juice it still takes talent to hit a baseball that hard and that far. Unfortunately for McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, Palmeiro, Clemens, etc.. all of their accolades and achievements on the field will forever be tainted. But the game sure did prosper at the time because of it.
Hersheizer said “wow” after Mac connected too. He even admired it. They measured that one at 485 but that is VERY conservative. No one has come remotely close to hitting that sign since. Mike Napoli hit a long one near there in 2016 but it was still well below the scoreboard and 30-40 feet short of Mac’s. That homer was unreal.
Mcgwire, Bonds, Griffey had one of the sweetest swings in baseball IMO
I have to add Will the Thrill to your very correct list.
I feel pumped up after watching this..
you can see them get bigger and bigger
Ivan Giga steroids
That's what she said.
Mark Mcgwire... my favorite player of all time. Still is...
Nothing like it great time long live the bash brothers
Mark Mcgwire is a amazing player and also a great coach
Cheaters should be banned forever
@@JohnDoe-gd1zj then I guess everyone who played ever should be banned pretty much. Pull your head out of your ass.
To bad Jose hurt his back in 99. That home run derby could have been epic!
I agree. Canseco was having a fantastic year in 99 too.
Best hitting duo ever!!!
Cheaters
Yes right lol
Uh, Ruth & Gerihg ?
I’m just marveling at the fact of how unsafe stadiums seemed to be those days. They all look as if they are in disrepair, and on the verge of collapse.
Prime Canseco was badass
His base stealing was almost always mediocre.
Classic Bash Brothers.
who's here after watching the lonely island on netflix
I am! I haven't been this invested in baseball since the movie The Rookie Of The Year
They call me JOSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@@thesite lol they call me mark.
Yup
The two moments that will forever give me chills in MLB are when Ripken broke the consecutive game record and McGwire hitting 62.
mcgwire's posture is just perfect when he's at bat. it's beautiful to look at.
I was lucky enough to get to see a ton of McGwire HRs when he played for the Cardinals at old Busch Stadium. Even was there for #62, which had to be the shortest one he hit there. Saw hundreds of games in the 80's & 90's and never saw anyone hit one in the upper deck until he got to town. He hit HRs where nobody else did before he got here or after he left.
Damn these guys were so great to watch... miss those days
I don’t care what anybody says, this is when the game was at its best. Bring on the gear
MARK AND SAMMY SAVED BASEBALL AFTER THE STRIKE.
Much love for this great video!!
u had to face these 2 back to back in a line up oh my
They were fun to watch in the 80s and 90s
they can say what ever they want about steroids but you need the talent to hit and play the game that way.
True you need the hand eye coordination just to make contact with the ball, and these guys certainly did that and more.
hdksb2 than why use steroids? Obviously it does a huge advantage for a player
hdksb2 steroids helps with hand eye coordination
Andrew Amador Steroids help you heal faster after working out, they don't make you stronger on their own, you fucking tool.
hdksb2 people seem to forget that
Bash Brothers were the best in the A's team back in the 80-90
I was into baseball during this era...not anymore these days...
Mark McJucie!😂 Honestly no matter what those HR's are still impressive to Watch
80年後半～90年前半のアスレチックス好きでしたね👍カンセコ､マグワイア､R. ヘンダーソン､スチュワート､ウェルチ､エカーズリー………スター軍団でめっちゃ強かった‼
These guys were like gods to me when I was a child. It’s insane though if you watch the first couple mins when they were born on Oakland McGwire was like a normal sized dude. Than one season dude just becomes a tank. At one point they both got to damn big, but man I wish these guys in their prime were in mlb the show
I'll take the juice over electronic sign stealing any day.
sign stealing has been around for 100 years get the fuck over it
@@ronpaulssecretary Not instant electronic sign stealing
Exactly. Juice doesn’t help you hit a 98 mph cut fastball that breaks different every pitch. Especially when you don’t know what’s coming. It’s one thing to figure out pitchers and to have runners figure out signs during a game but to have pre conceived knowledge and knowing what’s coming every pitch is pussy.
@@ronpaulssecretary didn’t know they had that camera technology 100 years ago to where they knew what every single pitch of the game was going to be. If a runner or batter can pick up signs that’s different. Go back to your grandmas basement and stfu.
@@ronpaulssecretary they're both called "cheating"...but you like one and despise the other.
That's why I say that Astros shouldn't even feel sorry...For idiots like you!
Watching those monster cuts was a thing of beauty
I grew up an Expos fan but this A's team was my favourite to watch growing up.
Mcgwire is the greatest home run hitter of all time. It's not even close.
More home runs per at bat than any player. Second is Babe Ruth. But, I have to give it to The Babe, since he wasn't using performance enhancing drugs.
5/22/24, 10:31 p.m.
@@ORagnar That we know of anyway.
Canseco coño what a power man forget the steroids his swing velo and contact to hit the ball was unreal such a beautiful quick hands swing
I sincerely miss roids baseball.
Christopher Martinez same
Me too
I don't
Christopher Martinez THE worst thing about it was when McGwire broke Roger’s record. The Maris family came out to the game to be there in a brave show of class; big Mc went over for hugs with them; their tears flowed; and, in going along with the charade, most egregiously, he disgraced EVERYBODY.
Vince McMahon should start a League where Steroids are Mando, lol!
Canseco was the man. He hit some bombs. Oakland really had some great players in the 70s and 80s. Oh what they have become.
Lmao @ 7:27 Sosa looks soo defeated. He wanted to be the first to 61 so bad. He was heartbroken. 😂
Most people don't realize that at their peaks Jose Canseco was a better all around player than Mark McGwire was !
We realize, but when Jose admits he wouldn't ha ha e been shit without roids, we don't care.
I was in the minors in 98 and i assure you there shitloads of big leaguers juiced up and a nice chunk of minor leaguers too- see scott Proctor of the Yankees. Played with him. Not right to say he wouldn't have been shit. The 1st player to go 40/40. Just would gave crushed a few less homers and mayve not as far but the guy was a stud
Back then who would have thought neither one of these guys would be in the HOF?
When you break an unbreakable record by nearly 20% you know something is wrong.
McGuire had such a smooth effortless swing!!!
The call on that McGuire Hr in chicago off of baldwin lol, i even miss the way they called games in the 90s.
Never forget Canseco's blast at Blue Jays...
mark fractured like half the team's forearms after those homers
Big mac,I have over 5,000 McGwire card's, my main PC player, and most recent player Bellinger.
"Juiced"... this is the video version of Canseco's book
When Oakland was untouchable.
The Bash Brothers. I used to go to all the games from 87'-89'. Didnt make it to the Battle of the Bay world series.
Wow. What power and swings 👍
He man and the incredible hulk
nice video!
Thank you!
“Why does Will Clark play first base? Because he can’t run. If he could run, he’d be in the outfield. The best athletes are in the outfield." - Jose Canseco 7/1990. Baseball needs more personalities who are allowed to speak their mind.
100% in agreement with you Henry, Jose just stated what owners knew all along, his book "Juiced" is exciting.
Baseball needs more players that grew up in the United States and speak English, the game isn't the same.
Remember when Canseco was running towards the wall to TRY and catch a deep fly, the ball bounced off his head and over the wall for a HR. He was awful defensively but no one had his bat speed back then. Although Gary Sheffield's bat speed was off the chain also.
@Strat Abuser You sound like a loser.
"And look where he hit it. Over the center field fence, a line drive. It didn't get up, it didn't get down, it just got out". 😆
I fucken love 2 guys. They brought a lot of joy to me.
What's interest about both of them is that their swings are all upper body strength. Their lower bodies are relatively still. This allowed them to catch up to fast balls easier because their swings were brief and uncomplicated requiring less precise timing; they could react quicker. But it also means you need more upper body strength in order to drive the ball hard. A smaller hitter needs their lower body to generate power.
When baseball was exciting, juice or not. I love how the pichers have that look of non belief when they see their ball crushed or how the announcers don't even know what do say but "oh my" or oh "goodness" never seen balls get up out of there faster than when the 2 guys were playing.
I don't care what there on, you still have to hit the ball and still put the ball in play. Jose has a tremendous bat speed even before the juice. I miss MLB WHEN IT WAS FUN TO WATCH. How boring now
I wish it were on film somewhere (someone must have it) but Canseco was a late season call-up. His first home run at the Coliseum completely cleared the bleachers and hit the concession stands wall behind them. Never seen anyone do that. That got everyone's attention.
Hard to believe this is the same team !
Attended many a game at the Coliseum...Navy got in for half price...half the time I had no idea who was playing, as we were hammered in the parking lot beforehand. Fun times.
The earthquake really overshadowed the WS between the A’s and the Giants. Just remembered the earthquake in candlestick and then then series became kind of a blur...Mainly remember Stewarts heroics and surprisingly more of the Giants like Clark...
As were so loaded then . So much speed and power
No matter what people say about Jose Canseco taking steroids and ratting everyone out, he was still a great baseball player. Ok, yes steroids does give you extra power but, it doesn't make you see the ball any better. I don't think he needed steroids cause he was already a big guy. Just him lifting weights would've been enough but, he ruined his career and reputation and many other players reputations.
He would no where close hit even 300 home runs
truth is more pitchers juiced, than position players during this era..
Lol
Mcgwire crying like a baby brought tears to *my* eyes.
At 1:44 and 4:09, they hit the ball to nearly the exact same spot in the fifth deck of the Skydome.
@01:45 That upper deck shot by Canseco is sick.
He murdered that ball
Back in the good old days
the fun days.
Wow 😯... look at all those old school baseball logos on the wall in Toronto.
Back in my day we didn't have juiced balls; we had to juice ourselves!!! 😁
I loved the Boston outfielder took one step and then said to himself that I won't have a chance to get this one as it went almost 400 feet.
6:04 this arguably the greatest call in dave niehueses carrer and it was dor the other team lol!
4:08 holy shit
Canseco starts to pimp the home run before he even makes contact
Very good thanks
thx for the post
Maguire y Canceco eran dos bestias en el mismo equipo con 6.5 de estatura y como con 20 de brazo Canceco pego un jonrón a 538 pies Maguire uno 540 pies de distancia entonces son Altos y fuertes cual de los dos mas fuerte ese era el dúo de más poder de todo los tiempos dos caballos.
