**Up until recently, I've been downloading my personal VHS collection. However, the collection is obviously limited. I started a Patreon page to better find and purchase old VHS videos on EBAY and other websites, as well as at garage sales and other locations that might have VHS available, so I can upload them for all to see and share for free.

I miss the 90's...........
Back when HR derbys were fun to watch
Don't get me wrong watching Sosa Mac bonds Griffey and those guys hit steroid filled bombs, the pacing was was so slow and they took so many pictures. The new format is much better. It allows for the pace to be quick and we are seeing twice as many home runs as we used to. Look at how many guys are only getting two or four or five and Stanton goes out in 4 minutes and hits fucking 20. The home run Derby is way better now
Did you not watch the Guerrero Jr derby?
This is not fun. Idk why players are smacking them well and these 90s sluggers can't get even 2.
This was one of more boring ones I thought. They weren’t hitting too many out.
Maybe it’s because I’m a die hard Yankee fan, but Tino’s performance in this derby was truly awesome. He literally had to go up against Ken Griffey Jr., Mark McGwire, Larry Walker, Jeff Bagwell, Frank Thomas, Chipper Jones, and Jim Thome. That’s an absolutely ridiculous amount of premier sluggers, and Martinez outlasted all of them. Amazing.
5 future Hall of Famers. Thomas wasn't in this one.
The top three finishers in this derby would all go on to play for the Cardinals. If you would have told 11 year old me that, I would not have believed you.
There’s an urban legend in Jacobs Field that when they were redoing the scoreboard in mid 2010s, they found a dent in the Budweiser sign right about where McGuire hit his homerun they were talking about
I had this on VHS when it aired then. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for this!
I love it pure power hitters of the 90's 👏🏾💪🏾
8:12 THE SWINGMAN LOGO
Tino was an absolute force in 1997.
And Tino Was An Mariner Prior To Being An Yankee
Wow Brady Anderson Going Yard and Then Going Jake. The most kindest feller on the 91 Orioles.
Oh Nomar, what a career it could have been ............ Congrats to Larry Walker making the 2020 MLB Hall of Fame !
Yeah realistically nomar could have still been playing up until like 2015 or 16. He would have been like 40 or 41but that is completely realistic for guys to still be playing at that point. They're pretty much wrapping it up around that time but he easily could have still been playing if he stayed healthy. He was a fucking stud at shortstop and was a really fucking good hitter and it's really sad to see injuries shortening what would have definitely been a Hall of Fame career
Awesome!!! :)
Thanks for uploading! Do you have the 1998 home run derby?
Brady Anderson's one and only 50 homerun season.... when he started hitting Jack's you knew something was up
Airborne Sapper Haha, not just him man, it was the start of PEDS in general. Still though, they don’t help hand eye coordination 👍
The only derby I've seen where Griffey was a non-factor. Just wasn't his day that day. Made up for it the next two years, though.
The Kid the legend KGJ
I was working at the game, I was a manager for one of the food subcontractors. Our stand it in the standing room only area, yellow and green cover. A home run was hit in there and crowds swarmed it for a ball. A guy hot one of my female employees, she was 16. I happened to be walking up to collect money and had a Cleveland Police Officer with me due to the crowds. The office was a huge muscle dude. Needless to say he took care of the people that were problems that day.
Lies.
@@acebandagedaclown4215 No, I remember it quite clearly.
AWESOME! I've recorded a ton of these, dating back to '95. The only one i don't have is 1999, from '95 thru 2008 (missed 2009 and 2010) recorded the next few through 2013. I don't agree with you posting the results though, for people who have yet to view, oh well......
Do you have the 2000 home run derby?
I don't know if you found this or if he had it when you asked but here it is. I was pumped to see it. I haven't seen it since it happened. czcams.com/video/0op1C5bAgvg/video.html
So many lefties. Shame cuz the scoreboard and other stuff is in left and there's so much cooler shit to hit. You can hear bagwells gloves squeaking. Sounds like SpongeBob annoying boots. and it's probably not smart to microphone them while they are hitting haha Bagwell said shit haha. It was more fun in a way to watch all these juiced-up guys hit monster home runs. Especially Maguire in Fenway and Sosa in Milwaukee but they are hitting three and four home runs and that's getting them into the next round and they sit there for 10 or 15 minutes hitting. Now, you'll see anywhere between twelve and fifteen home runs in 4 minutes easily. Maybe even 18 to 20. The new format is way way way better. They just need to bring back steroids
wow it took the 3rd hitter to get a homerun an chipper was the lucky one
1:20:05
1:18:55 Joe Morgan couldn’t have been more wrong. In the very next year not only did McGuire surpass 61 HRs but hit 72.
70
Man Buck Martinez was kinda cringey on some of those post-ab interviews
They were so bad at calculating distance back then haha it is a proven fact that the homerun off Randy Johnson didn't even go 500 ft. They recalculated the specific numbers numerous times scientifically as well as where the ball landed in the launch angle and it went about 480 which is still a massive homerun but nowhere near fivethirtyeight. Same thing with Jose canseco's 540 foot home run it only went 470 and Andres galarraga had one in Florida that was supposedly like 528 and it only went around 470 or 480. Back then if it hit the upper deck people thought it was automatically 500ft but realistically the seats that it hit our only about 30 ft or 40 ft past the fence they're just really high in the air. But just because the ball reaches the upper deck doesn't mean it's still going out word. You could hit one a deck below that had a faster exit velocity and was still going outward while it was traveling that would go farther than the one that hit the upper deck. These days they're not perfect but they are much much much closer to accurate and that's why you don't see very many home runs over 500 feet anymore because most of them in the history of baseball weren't actually that far and the ones that were were still probably 20 or 30 feet shorter
Too Manny fucking commercials
Came here right after the 2019 Derby. Man, these were so anti-climatic compared to what it is now!
Compared to last night i would say the balls are juiced. They were crushing the ball last night compared to 1997
@@seangregory4015 in 1997 They didnt have unlimited swings in 4 minutes.
