Link to the original video: • David Freese's epic Wo...
I met David Freese two years later my brother and I talked to the him for about 10 minutes he is genuinely the nicest guy I have ever met
Saw him around 3 years ago in Pittsburgh and can confirm he seems like a great guy. Stopped to sign for almost everyone before the game
@@MOisMe643 Yep that is how I met him I had a on the field pass for batting practice he came over and signed a ball then my brother brought up game 6 and he just talked to us about it awesome guy
Matthew Salter my brother was at a st. louis hospital, cardinal glennon, where cardinal players are a very common sight, and he talked to us for about 30 minutes and you’re right, he’s one of the most genuine guys i’ve ever met
Lucky ducks seems nice though
He got to be the key reason for his home town team becoming world champs, in front of the home crowd, got MVP, and was paid millions to do it. I would be the nicest person in the world as well if I was a walking fairytale story come to life.
As a Cardinals fan who has had 9 years to digest this situation: I still can't put into words how it felt. It was incredible.
I remember going on a half week vacation with my parents. When we left there wasn't a chance for the Cardinals to make the playoffs and baseball wasn't even really on our minds. Then once we got back we realized there was hope and watched every game of the run after that. Witnessing everything else in the process.
Lucky lol I was a devastated cards fan till they turned it around😂
I was finshing my last year of middle school when I was watching and just i was emotional over it still kinda am. Love Pujols
Hello there fellow cards fans
This is maybe the greatest clutch moment in the history of sports
No
@@drewberning1237 yeah
Honestly the hit before in the 9th was more clutch. It's so much more pressure being down to your last strike while losing than it is while being tied. If Freese strikes out in the 9th, it's season over. The worst thing that could have happened in the 11th at that point was just having to play more innings. There was so much more to lose in that at-bat in the 9th inning.
@@alexl9799 hits* it was Freese and Berkman
@@reintaler6355 yeah you could pick either one of those. They're both more clutch than the walk-off homer
Another aspect that this video left out was the announcers. The play-by-play announcer Joe Buck's father Jack Buck was the long time radio announcer for the Cardinals. The "we will see you tomorrow night" call by Joe Buck was actually identical to the words said by his father in 1991. The color commentator is Tim McCarver. McCarver is considered one of the best catchers in Cardinals history and was the preferred catcher of one of the best pitchers of all time Bob Gibson. Gibson and McCarver both played for the Cardinals and led them to the 1964 and 1967 World Series wins.
They actually were talking about Jack bucks “we will see you tomorrow night” call earlier in the game. He foreshadowed his own callback in the same game. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
as a cards fan, welcome to the greatest moment in history
This Cubs fan approves of the video and reaction. Shit talking amongst rivals is guaranteed, but can't dispute greatness and historic moments.
Cards fan here, are you trying to make me say something nice? Ok, ugh Jordan's the 🐐!
As a Rangers fan, this hurts me every time I see it.
RichHillSU same
RichHillSU haha noob Go Cards
@@bradyrhodess fuck you and Freese
RichHillSU same here. Cruz fucked it up
I mean I'm a cards can but if Cruz would have taken thay wall the game would have been over.
Finally he watching SB Nation, also SB Nation is a network not a person, there is whole writing, editing, production, and on screen staff
Im a cardinals fan and I remember this like it was yesterday and it was one of the best moments in history and it led us to getting a championship and also my boy yadi molina and carlos beltran were a part of that team too and theyre my fav players of all time
Same here for all except Beltran, haven't been a fan of him since his Royals days ended.
Everytime I see that walkoff homerun by David Freese, I get goosebumps. Forever a legend in Cardinal history.
Such a shame he turned down being in the cardinals HoF. He deserves to be remembered forever
Goosebumps! Every…. Single…. Time!!!!
Can you react to another SB Nation rewind “Madison Bumgarner’s epic World Series finish deserves a deep rewind”? He’s one of the greatest post season pitchers in history
Kristen M As a Giants fan i say yes
Yeah that one is a good one also
That would be amazing and then the marlins downfall 😂 (im a marlins fan so Yeh 😡)
Kristen M do this
fyi sb nation isnt a "he" it's a whole group of people that are kind of sports journalists
they have different people narrating every video
Dorktown and Chart Party are my favorite on there!
rederik99 the fumble dimension is pretty cool too really anything with Jon Bois I’m a fan od
Card carrying member of the Jon Bois fan club...
Jon bois is the GOAT and I wont take anything else
their good, but not "pretty good"
REACT TO BLUE JAYS VS RANGERS 7TH INNING ALDS!!
Biggest inning in baseball
This is a must
The context around this is pretty wild. Would love to see a reaction.
Michael Kerr Ya this is a video he should definitely react to
yes i requested this a while ago
Day 27 of asking Luka to react to the 222-0 Georgia Tech vs Cumberland College Football Game by John Bois
42 more days until I can comment "nice" on your suggestion post.
Pls do this
LazerHornet good vid
He even said “I’ll have to react to that” in the scorigami video
David Orioli lmao
now you have to do
“The Longest Curse Ending Moment in Sports History Deserves a Deep Rewind”
"Yeah, let's just get into it." I love how he says that like 5 times before he starts the reaction....so funny.
The announcer's call of the HR, in particular "we will see you tomorrow night" also has an interesting story behind it. The announcer is Joe Buck, who started his career in St. Louis. His father Jack Buck was a legendary announcer for the Cardinals for many years. Jack, like Joe also did some nationally televised games. Jack Buck was the play-by-play announcer for the 1991 World Series between the Minnesota Twins and the Atlanta Braves. In Game 6, Kirby Puckett hit a game-winning Home Run to force game 7. Jack Buck's call included the phrase "we will see you tomorrow night."
Also - when the Red Sox hit the walkoff to save their season down 3-0 in the series in game 4 in the 2004 ALCS. It was past 12AM, so Buck said "Ortiz into deep right field! Back is Sheffield, we will see you later tonight!"
And they were talking about Jack Bucks iconic call earlier in the 2011 game 6. It’s like Joe foreshadowed his own call through his father. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
You need to react to the Rangers vs blue jays ALDS game 5, seventh inning. It’s some of the most insane baseball I’ve ever seen. And as a jays fan is one of the most memorable moments ever
Chase Stankievech yessss
Yeah
I was at that game to see it all live.
First and only time I've ever seen the police take the field, had beer dumped on me from the upper deck and also the only time I've ever seen riot cops in real life and loved it all.
JOSE, JOSE, JOSE, JOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
As a side note, glad I didn't run into a sobriety spot check. Although I was sober, with the smell there's no way I would not have been stopped.
I hope he reacts to the FULL inning. The video that MLB posted
X i agree. It’s unfortunate though that it doesn’t show much of what happened in the top half. I feel like it should include more of it. (Unless we’re thinking of different vids here)
The Cardinals are playing the Cubs in London this year. You should try to go to that, it would make a good video
too bad this never happened because of covid.
Please do the biggest curse-ending moment in baseball history! It’s a great story and it’s by SB Nation
Now react to “Game 162” by MLB Productions. As a Braves fan it hurts but it’s widely known as the greatest day in baseball history
Was That Braves v Phillies
Brady Rhodes yeah😔
El Papusador Weedle hunter fence little infield single huh
Even as a Braves fan I had to appreciate the craziness of that day.
When Freese won this game my MOM was literally screaming and balling her eyes out crying real tears of happiness lol. We are big baseball fans in the midwest.
Sorry for spamming comments, and IDK if you'll even remember. But they reference, "Albert Pujols" in this video as being one of the greatest, not being able to resign in St Louis, and it being his swan song.
Well, we thought it was, for eleven years. And then he came back, and he had one of the greatest returns in baseball history. It still brings tears to my eyes to recall. When he left I was a boy, he came back and now I'm a father, going to watch him play with my son fulfilled a part of me I never knew was there.
Check it out.
I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THAT YOU FINALLY REACTED TO THIS OMG
I watched this live, I remember where I was. This moment gives me goosebumps to this day. It is one of the greatest moments in st. louis sports history, right behind the blues winning the cup just this past year.
Check out Kurt Gibson's world series walk offs. Straight off the bench with no legs under him
Kirk🤦♂️
At the end of the 2020 season you should react to 2020 Houston Astros set Hit by pitch record compilation.
lmfao
lol free joe kelly. Which is funny because joe was also a cardinal.
Holy crap u did a whole video on this!!! This is my hometown and is the craziest sports moment of my life!
If you'd like to watch highlights to a crazy game I recommend Dodgers vs Astros 2017 World Series Game 5
Fernando Reyes and it’s even crazier how they cheated to win
@@michaelkerr7782 I agree lmao. The game was that crazy that I just won by 1 and cheated
They cheated the Los Angeles Dodgers with cameras in the World Series
Your reaction to finally understanding the meaning behind the home run was amazing! It is one of the most iconic moments in American sports and baseball.
Dude, I swear to god I watched this two days ago and was hoping you'd react to it. I've lived in St. Louis my whole life and went completely apeshit during this game. When we were down 7-5 in the bottom of the 9th, I almost just went to bed because I had to work in the morning, but stayed up out of respect to Texas. Glad I did. Good stuff, man.
My home team! Thanks for reacting to this Luka.
React to 7th inning blue jays vs rangers the most insane inning in baseball I have ever seen
Mr Ant he needs to!
Watching you watch what i consider the best moment in any professional sport is amazing. I have loved my Cardinals my entire life. Thank you for letting me see this through your eyes.
Born and raised in stl still get goosebumps when I think ab this moment. I had to stay up late and watch it on the lowest volume so I wouldn’t wake up my parents in 8th grade
Holy crap I didn't think you would watch this. This was my favorite moment ever. Thank you for watching this!
Reaction Suggestion - Manu Ginobili, he played for the San Antonio Spurs. My favorite player to ever touch the floor. This guy was one of the craftiest offensive players of his time. He had great court vision and a great understanding of angles and how to use them to get crazy passes off. Hes always been a team first/pass firsr type of guy but could go off and give you 20 or 30 points any night. Extremely fun player to watch.
As a St. Louis Cardinals fan, this moment was SO amazing. I got to not only go to the World Series parade after they won, but I also got to attend the in stadium celebration. It was pretty amazing.
As a lifelong Cardinals fan being born and raised near St. Louis, it still creates a lump in my throat and brings a tear to my eye to watch that even all of these years later.
I had been to a game at Busch Stadium a month earlier when the Cardinals beat the Braves. I joked with a friend who was a Braves fan in attendance with me that if his team kept it up, the Cardinals would take their playoff spot.
For Game 6 of the World Series, I remember that as clear as day. It was a very special moment that nobody in Cardinals Nation watching that night will ever forget.
You should watch more SB nation “Rewind” videos... the context and backstories really make such a big impact on the clips
I'm a lifelong Cardinals fan and this was the greatest moment I've ever seen. The morning of game 6 I drove 3 hours west of STL to get a yellow labrador and we named her Miss Freese. I was actually on a cruise ship in Mexico for my honeymoon on the last day of the regular season watching the Cardinals game in spanish.
Thank you for posting this video. I was not able to go to these games because of poor health. When I watched that game, my emotions went up and down like a roller coaster. This video really made my day. Again thank you.
This game was insane. I lost my god damn mind and one of my favorite moments as a Cardinals fan. The final day of the 2011 was also insane for a lot of teams. One of the more memorable final game days in baseball history.
It's a moment in my life I'll never forget. I watched this go down the night before a new school week, and was stressed beyond belief bracing for imminent heartbreak, and being forced to deal with it not once but TWICE. I just about keeled over and died when we fell behind for that second time after seemingly spending our last miracle. EXCEPT IT WASN'T OUR LAST. I never thought I'd see any heroes of mine continue fighting back in such dramatic fashion and win so triumphantly in the end. 💓
React to cubs break 108 year curse on SB nation
Every St. Louis resident knows this moment like the back of their hand. One of the greatest baseball plays of all time
I have been a Cardinal fan since 1985 when I went to my first ball game. My favorite player was Ozzie Smith "The Wizard" their shortstop at the time. No matter where I was in the world I always found a way to view or at least listen to a Cards game. I was in college when this game was going on. Feeling a bit dejected thinking that Texas was going to win I decided to go to bed. I then found myself pretty restless and decided to put the game on my radio just in time for this showdown. As I lay there in bed time seemed to stand still and it felt like an eternity. The announcers and the crowd faded away in my head till there was nothing but silence. Then an earth shattering crack rang in my ears. Freese did it, we won. I was so excited I fell out of my bed and smacked my head on the nightstand. I could not go to sleep afterward.
React to Derek Jeter Mr. November (it brought New York together after 9/11)
This was one of, if not, the best play of runs in MLB history by the Cardinals. As a Cards fans, I will never forget this season. Was lucky to be able to be at the wild card clinching game in Houston.
Also, how could SB forget the rally squirrel? Lol
Next baseball video should be the jomboy media breakdown video of amir garrett, puig and david bell taking on the pirates in a brawl. He brakes it down very well so that you can tell exactly what was going on and it was one of the craziest recent brawls in baseball
I've been a Cardinals fan since I was a kid and I remember this so well. I was hooting and jumping like a madman!
Life-long Cardinals fan. This season was such an up and down one - it would give anyone indigestion. To cap it off even further, a later season when Friese had been traded away to another team, and that team came to St. Louis to play, Friese (now the opposition) got a great standing ovation. We Cardinals fans appreciate our players, and appreciate good play by anyone.
Definitely more SB videos! The Ricky Henderson one is great, crazy how absolutely dominant that guy was in baseball
As a Cardinals fan, you’re right about the emotions. When I watched the Braves lose that game I said “were gonna make it to the WS. I feel it.”. After the Freese HR, I went to buy a bottle of Champaign for the next night because I knew it was over. I’ll never forgtet those memories.
I was at Game 6 and it was absolutely amazing. I ended up sitting down the 3rd base line and everyone was going so crazy after Freese's hit in the 9th that I didn't even realize at the time that he had made it to 3rd. It got a passing mention in here, but weighing on me and I think many of the fans in attendance was the possibility/probability that we were watching Albert Pujols's last game as a Cardinal and the crowd was sure to give him an ovation for his last few at-bats, not knowing which one might be his last. Fortunately, it turned out to be his 2nd to last game thanks to Freese.
One angle that is not discussed in the video at all is the announcer's call of the HR. The "We will see you tomorrow night" call by Joe Buck paid homage to his father, hall of fame broadcaster Jack Buck as Jack used that phrase 20 years and 1 day prior in calling another World Series game-winning Home Run. If not for the rain-out pushing back Game 6 a day, it would have exactly 20 years between the calls. Also of note is that for both of them had the same partner on the broadcast for their calls, Tim McCarver.
My favorite response of yours! Well done. Probably helps that I am a life-long Cardinals fan
That was the greatest night of my life. I remember it so vividly its incredible.
I've wanted my whole life to see the Rangers win a World Series. I can't explain how badly that night hurt.
As a Cards fan I am trying to muster up some sympathy! Trying
You saw them win this year congrats from st.louis
It’s kinda cool that you’re actually learning quite about baseball just by watching videos of highlights
It was a great year to be a baseball fan. On the last evening of the regular season, there were three post-season berth deciding games on at the same time, and hub and I had three screens going, trying to follow it all like excited chameleons. The Cardinals (my team for life!!) had already won that day, but they still needed an Atlanta loss. In the AL, Tampa Bay was pulling off a similar miracle. Many still say that day is the greatest day in baseball history.
As for the All-Star game...yeah, it's fun. The problem is, as you noticed, the MLB season is crushingly long. 162 games, traveling all over the country. Ideally, a team might want to give their expensive star players a rest rather than risk injury in a promotional game that does nothing to advance their team. And for many years, you'd have big stars voted into the ASG, they'd start the game, and they'd get replaced in the 2nd or 3rd inning. That kept any team's big player from getting worked too hard, and it allowed the managers to let everyone who made the squad get a chance to play for the fans.
Then one fateful year, an ASG went into extra innings...too many extra innings...and both teams had essentially run out of pitchers because of how freely they'd been used up earlier. There's a classic image of Bud Selig shrugging his shoulders. Nobody knew what to do, so they called the game a tie.
For some reason, lots of fans and sports commentators were upset about it. MLB reacted by figuring out a way to make the ASG be an important game. I thought/think this was dumb. It's not an important game. It's a spectacle. So what if they tied one time? But Selig announced that from then on, the winning league of the ASG would get home-field advantage in the WS. Not that the previous method of determining advantage made much sense. League Championships had an imperfect but sort of merit based formula for home fields, but regardless of which teams won the pennants, advantage in the Series simply alternated leagues each year.
*sigh*
**edit**
As a Cardinals fan, I was thankful that they didn't spend a stupid amount of money on Pujols. It would have crippled the team. As it is, as far as value per year, it's hard to think of a better deal than the Cards had in his time there. His best years at an insanely reasonable cost. BTW...SB guy mentions that Pujols finished 2nd in MVP voting four times. Three of those times, the winner was Barry Bonds, the poster child of the juicing era.
Man, 11 years later I remember like yesterday my mom going to bed in the 7th but me and Dad staying up. We were in the family room on the other side of the house, and Mom had a fan on in the bedroom. After the walk off we woke her up not from the screaming which she couldn't here over the fan but from shaking the house from dancing so hard.....absolutely magical Cardinal nation forever!!!!!
That was a roller coaster season for me . I loved it !
Right-handed batter means their power arm is their right hand. Many ways to remember
* Right hand batters stand on the right side of the plate, when looking from the pitcher to the catcher. Vice versa for left handers.
* Think of the angle a right handed boxer would take. Just do a boxing stance yourself (assuming you're right handed). The right hand is further back so a right-hand bunch will generate the most power. Now put a bat in his hands.
* Assuming you're right handed, think about how you would hold a tennis racket. A forehand will generate more power than a backhand. Now substitute the tennis racket for a baseball bat.
* The power arm is always the rear arm when hitting. (A backhand swing would waste power).
* Think about how you would golf.
If you're left handed, just flip the orientation.
I was watching live , every game of the series, having grown up just outside St.Louis in the suburbs, but only about 25 minutes from Busch Stadium...Home of the Cardinals. As can be seen by when im commenting here, i still watch highlights just about every year.
St. Louis, many people dont realize, have the most World Series Championships in National League history as well as 2nd most to the yankees for all time, and i believe we have outwon them even in 5 head to head matchups, 3-2.
2011 had so many beat the odds moments. Game 6 is one of those "where were you when?" Moments.
I had the good fortune to watch David Freese play for the University of South Alabama for two years. As a season ticket holder I never missed a game.
Now do the biggest curse ending moment also by SB Nation!
Thank you for watching man! I appreciate your love for the actual background and tension that led up to this moment. As a local stl fan this was one of the best and most memorable experiences of my lifetime
The part they leave out is the very phrase “we will see you tomorrow night” was uttered by the commentator Joe Buck who’s dad (jack buck) was the voice of baseball in the Midwest announcing thousands of games said the same line in the same game 6 situation for the CARDINALS around 40 years earlier. Jack wasn’t alive to hear it but that brings tears to cardinal fans old and young. Truly an insane moment.
Im from Saint Louis and watching this play out was pure tense than Freese homerun literally made me scream from pure happiness
The Dream Team by Joseph Vincent. That is all. Have a good day.
The “we will see you tomorrow night” quote is actually from Joe Buck, the announcer, who is directly quoting his dad, Joe Buck (also used to be an announcer for the cardinals) from a previous WS that went to Game 7. There’s so much history and depth and hidden relationships in baseball, that’s what makes it such a great sport
Whatever you do in life, wherever you go, make plans to go to at least one home season opening game in St. Louis. If you like spectacle, and great baseball moments, that is your goal. As far as game 6, 2011 World Series...the Cardinals have NEVER played a more exciting and emotional game. I say that as a 60 year fan.
So glad you finally reacted to this
Yeeeeessss, thank you Luka! Now I dont have to repoy to every video with Day -- of asking Luka to react to "MLB productions presents: Game 162". Enjoy the documentary on the greatest day in baseball history.
HE DID IT! YES
Jack Buck called a similar Cardinals walk-off HR by Kirby Puckett and said the famous "we will see you tomorrow night" line. Almost 20 years to the day later, his son Joe Buck got to make the very same call on the Freese home run. If I remember correctly, both home runs came in the eleventh inning of game six, too.
It was amazing. I was 5 and I still remeber it.
What I also love about that home run is when Joe Buck, the announcer, says “we will see you tomorrow night” like his dad Jack Buck said in Game 6 20 years earlier when Kirby Puckett hit a walk off home run.
The "We will see you tomorrow night" call by the announcer, Joe Buck was a mirror of one his dad, the legendary Jack Buck made years ago in 1991 for the Kirby Puckett home run in game 6 of that World Series.
St Louis is baseball heaven. Outside of that, it's an okay place. If you are ever going to go to a game, go to a late season game in St Louis.
Cardinal season ticket holder and was at that game 6. Crazy game. My daughters also went to the same high school that Freese did.
I am a St. Louis Cardinals fan. That moment fueled my love for sports.
Lifelong STL resident and Cards fan. Of all the games that I've seen this is, obviously, #1. #2 was the Jack Clark homerun game against the Dodgers and #3 was the Pujols bomb off Lidge. Check out those games as well. Nice to see a perspective of this game from overseas.
10:45 that whole day was so special and legendary in the sport because similar situations happened throughout the league. Also soccer should have an all star weekend! NBA has slam dunk and 3 point contest and MLB has the home run derby and they both have celebrity games. I think the Premiere League having a trick shot and penalty kick contest and having some celebrities play a game could be pretty dope! Great reaction as always
This game gives me such great joy being a St. Louis Cardinals fan. It's one of the greatest moments the history of the World Series. Getting the wild card after having to go through all the hoops felt amazing. The Cards had zero quit that year and I still look back to that postseason run as one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
A "Right-handed batter" is a batter who uses the left batter's box. A left-handed batter is one who uses the right batter's box. It's called that way because from the pitcher's perspective, it's flipped.
I remember that series. The Rangers were one strike away from winning twice. Tony La Russa managed the Cards to a great World Series win. I have a ball autographed by La Russa. One of the greatest managers ever.
Now you gotta react to game 162. Greatest night in baseball history.
I'm a lifelong Cardinals fan. I cant even describe the euphoria of that moment. Watching that whole two months as they were left for dead in August, crawled out of the muck in September, and ascended to legends in October, was the most incredible ride a fan of any team in any sport was taken on. Freese's walkoff still gives me goosebumps and tears almost a decade later. Him being a local kid makes it especially personal; it validated the dreams we chased as children growing up in St Louis, dreaming that dream. He was one of us. And it happened, it really happened! I wasnt crazy for dreaming that dream after all! Sure it wasn't me, but it wasnt crazy.
Joe Buck also mimicked a call his father (also an announcer) did in the 90’s by saying...
“We’ll see you tomorrow night!”
...and this, is why we love baseball.
And thats why we love baseball!
The Cardinals are playing the Cubs in London this summer. Go !!
3:05 his first ten years yes. Overall he’s probably a top 15 player ever
Dan Ross pujols is top 5
Top 10
As a huge Braves fan, it was fun to relive the 2011 collapse. Great video though. You could make me feel a little better by doing that Dennis Rodman reaction...
I was at that game - to be in that stadium for that moment was unbelievable.
I was also at the game Pujols broke his wrist in...
Please react to "Game 162"
I'm a Rangers fan and this still hurts. I became a fan because our AA team in Tulsa was a Rangers farm team. After heartbreak the year before in the World Series, I thought I had been through the worst. Northeastern Oklahoma is full of Cardinals fans, so I still hear about it to this day.
LETS GOOOO! FINALLY
Your next SB Nation video should be "The biggest curse-ending moment in baseball history demands a deep rewind | 2016 World Series game 7"
hey Luka! Great video you should react to the 2019 Homerun Derby or The AllStar game, love these vids keep it up! (also the homerun derby was crazy with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Joc Pederson putting on a show)
