    Awesome stuff. I was hoping to see some of his rocket throws to first base. He will always be one of my all time favorite Cubs.

    I remember Dunston. He was a stud at shortstop. He had a cannon of an arm as routine throws to 1st base had so much zip on them.

    Nobody hustled more than Shawon Dunston.. He ran out every single ground ball as hard as he could..

      Yup, he was a hitting machine but the Cubs management way of doing business didn't think he was worth it. That said he should've gotten his world series ring with the Cubs

    I feel like this list is incomplete without at least one routine groundout where Shawon scooped the ball off the grass and took two or three steps toward first before launching a 95 mph rocket that damned near took Leon Durham or Mark Grace’s head off. We all mimicked that play growing up and our first baseman looked at each of us like “Dude, chill! WTF? Do I look like I have catcher’s gear on? I don’t even have an actual first baseman’s mitt; we’re playing pepper ball in the school yard.”

    😢 I remember nothing but good times with this guy. Rocket arm with Hustling body. He played All Out.

  • @scottmasin741
    @scottmasin741 Před rokem +3

    I don't know why they didn't show more of his defense? When you think of Shawon Dunston, you don't think of HR's, you think of his cannon arm.

  • @williamfisher866
    @williamfisher866 Před rokem +3

    That team with Dunston, Dawson, Grace, Sandberg was epic times. Only if we had better pitching then.

    • @michaelkretchmer9859
      @michaelkretchmer9859 Před rokem +1

      That's what I'm saying ,when we had the pitching they would trade them away. Mitch Williams,Lee smith,Greg maddux, mike belecki, etc

    Dunston was great! Love hearing Harry Caray, Steve Stone, and Thom Brennaman making the calls. Takes me back to my childhood.

  • @RaymondJohnson
    @RaymondJohnson Před rokem +4

    I'm not sure why this video isn't 4 minutes of Dunston fielding routine balls at short and then throwing them approximately 120 mph to Mark Grace at 1st.

    Can’t forget the iconic “Shawon-O-Meter” back in ‘89. Good guy and so much fun to watch him play!

    Always loved Dunston, we had good teams I can't still believe we never won a world series at those times , normally it was pitching problems

  • @themeadowlarkminutewithpau8184

    Just saw Dunston Jr. play live in a minor League game. ⚾️ he plays for Lancaster Stormers.

  • @donwhiteley3293
    @donwhiteley3293 Před 4 měsíci

    The first thing i always think of when i hear Shawon Dunston was the game he tied the MLB record by hitting 3 triples. If i remember right Luis Salazar was on first for all 3 triples and on the third one either Harry Caray or Steve Stone said they felt sorry for Salazar because he'd never had to run so much in his life. 😂

  • @tomv4408
    @tomv4408 Před 2 měsíci

    Cannon arm for sure, but a little wild with the swing. Early Javier Baez at the plate reminded me of Dunston in that regard.

  • @ChairmanMeow1

    Parts of his game left a lot to be desired, but the good was REALLY good.

    Dunston was a mess as first round draft choice early 80s. Big arm, but also big head case. Not worthy of any HOF.
