I'm not even a Jays fan but I still tear up every time I hear "Touch them all Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!"
It's literally what every young ball player fantasized about growing up - winning the World Series on a walk off Home Run. The pinnacle of baseball.
What a legendary call by Tom Cheek
Lmao wow
Blue Jays haven't come close to the World Series since.
Scripted
Toronto born Blue Jays fan here. I honor you for honoring Tom Cheek and Joe Carter. He was a delight to listen to alongside his broadcast partner Jerry Howarth whom I had the honor of befriending back in the summertime last year. Tom is definitely missed by us old school fans.
I am surprised, though, that Edwin Encarnacion's 2016 Walk-off in the Wild Card game didn't get included here.
the Bote slam will forever live rent free in my head. From the swing, to the bat flip, the call and then the airplane celebration the whole moment is so electric 🔥
Such a shame as a nats fan it still stings a little after a 7 inning max scherzer gem lol
@@fabulosopapisame bro
Love that you can see Bill Murray in the white hat in the background cheering on the Cubs!!! @ 2:01
Well in a diner in California my dad stood up an screamed when this happened
@@fabulosopapiknocked us outta the playoff race too
Joe Buck was absolutely fired up for Nelson Cruz’s walk off slam
Yeah, I was afraid he would have a heart attack
True story, Joe Buck had actually suffered left vocal cord paralysis from complications of surgery. That's why his voice was way off.
@@Barny5ivethen he shouldn’t have been in the booth. Plus, J Buck has always been anti-climatic af. Surgery or not.
Well, CZcams decided to restart and eliminate my comment. I knew this was a special moment for the rangers, I believed they even played “The Natural” as he rounded the bases. I didn’t need Joe Buck and his failure to show a pulse when my favorite team does something so electric I was almost levitating in the air jumping up so much. Leave it to lame baseball announcers to mail it in when your team actually deserves a historic call.
@@hilleryseanI think Joe Davis made up for it in Game 1 of last year WS🎉
David Freese and the 2011 Cards were the best postseason journey I have ever seen
I agree man and I’m a rangers fan. That series was amazing!!
I moved home to St. Louis on 3/17/11 from a tour in Germany with the Army. I watched every game that season and through the playoffs. Truly incredible!
Fu
@troyzuniga3319 Don't be salty, you guys exorcised your postseason demons last October.
That was the craziest game ever. Last strike is nuts. I will never forget watching that game.
If only Jose Bautista’s was a walkoff. That was lit
I was thinking the same thing
He did hit a walk off grand slam once.
@@StonewallTitlow Mets legend
“He has not hit a home run”
Benson casually smashes a walk off
I absolutely feel the love from Harper sprinting around the bases to share his love with his teammates.
That should have been wayyyyy higher on the list
That reallyvwas à shot
Thank god the Rangers won this year, now I can watch David Freese without a pit in my stomach
I still can’t watch it lol
Being a cardinals fan I’ll never not get goose bumps from game 6
Baseball fans outside Houston rejoiced because they beat Houston.
@@fatjonseatingadventures5429 it caused me 12 years of trauma haha
@@VancouverChokers first team to actually win after saying ‘We want Houston’
Game 6 of the Cardinals-Rangers World Series was the best game I’ve ever witnessed in the history of the game.
2:34
Gotta love Jim Thomes parents reaction
Mom: "he did it!" 🫢
Dad: "that's my boy"
As they celebrate. What a great moment to have
Jim Thome's mom passed a few years before he hit that home run. I am pretty sure that wasn't her.
@@Rahlew510 oh man that's my bad. That's really what it looked liked to me, but I had no prior knowledge, my fault for assuming
@@ooSyzygyNo worries at all. I just didn't want someone jumping on you for something that clearly wasn't meant to be malicious.
“ Joe Carter with a three run homer! The winner and still World Champions the Toronto Blue Jays”
I remember watching Kirk Gibson smash that home run and shocking Dennis Eckersley who was like the Mariano Rivera of his day. No one thought Gibby would even be available, and when Vin Scully said on the TV that he was nowhere to be found, he got up, told Tommy Lasorda that he was available to pinch-hit, and started taking practice swings. Gibby had injuries in both legs at this point, so he couldn't really step forward or push off during his swing without a lot of pain, and it's why he was jogging in such a janky way when he was rounding the bases. The play was one of Tommy's biggest "go big or go home" gambles, and the payoff is one reason why baseball endures in this continent: One swing of the bat can change everything.
The greatest at-bat I have ever seen
Big Papi, game 2 of the 2013 ALCS. The Sox already lost game 1 to the Tigers’ Ace. Facing a series 0-2 deficit against that vaunted Detroit pitching staff. 8th inning, down 5-1 and facing almost certain doom. David Ortiz comes up with the bases loaded and hits a grand slam to their closer, Joachim Benoit, who hadn’t given up a single home run all year. I swear to God that ice ran through the veins of that man. That was one of the most epic, if not *THE* most epic homerun I have ever seen. It wasn’t a walkoff but it was still clutch
I always followed David Ortiz because he has my younger brother's (who passed at a young age) first and last name. he made me proud of following him ever since he was a Twin.
My favorite HR of all-time.
@@YouKnowMySteez Mine too. Imagine he doesn't homer in this situation? Sox fall 2 games to none to Detroit? In my entire life, as a baseball fan, I have never seen one swing of the bat change a playoff series. The fact that Benoit hadn't surrendered a homer all year makes this feat even more special. Love him or hate him, Big Papi is the greatest clutch hitter in the history of baseball.
Watching a walk off in person is such a vibe!
Especially to send your team to the playoffs.. bottom 9 2 outs 3-2 count the things every kid dreamed of
gotta love when Bernie Williams is shown some love in these videos
David Freese will always be an STL legend :)
Fr Gives me goosebumps every time Go Cards
it's hard to watch for me but 6:21 is where I go to be happy
As a Rangers Fan I can finally appreciate what he did as he is no longer the devil
@@omalleycaboose5937 I was a Josh Hamilton fan… weird thing to say in retrospect (all thats came to light now) but ive always had an american league favorite team and national league team… the Rangers were that… now its the Royals..
@@jochph I am a rangers fan, from the dfw area and they are just my team
But I also picked a team from each division to follow when Rangers aren't playing
Rangers
Orioles
Phillies
Rockies
Royals
Brewers
And yeah maybe I'm nuts but I feel the Royals are building something right now.
0:35 That was perfect timing
The announcer curse!? More like the announcer premonition 😂
I'm glad they went back far enough to remind everyone of the Giants legendary pennant winner
I agree. Probably the very first "walk off" that meant anything! I grew up a Yankees fan and remember all those Yankee playoff shots like they happened yesterday.The one that still breaks my heart..Mazeroski against the Yankees in '60. I remember crying after that one!!!
I was expecting the Chris Chambliss 1976 ALCS game 5 walk off. How can that be not in the list? The whole stadium ran into the field !
The one by David freeze was absolutely beautiful I really enjoyed that 😁💯😜
God I love this sport
So do I Man! 😎
Baseball deserves more love fr
there really is nothin like baseball
2005 World Series Game 2: Scott Podsednik...epic and classic!!!!
White Sox pride
Probably one of the most improbable homeruns as well!
I remember watching the Cubs v Nationals game and my wife asked why I still had it on…my reply was “it just takes one swing” and I pointed to the sky like Bote while watching it go over the wall. I’ll never forget that slam
Mazeroski's walk off was a top 10 sports moment of all time
Fax@@JosTheChair
Game 7 is more epic than Game 6
@@JosTheChairBULLSHIT
2:14 jim thome does his best mike schmidt impression by hitting hr number 500 and win a ballgame all in one swing
Harry Kalas would approve
Joe Buck gets so lit for that Cruz walk-off. I had to turn down my volume.
I'll always love Magglio Ordonèz for that Homer, one of the best Tigers moments ever
Great Video! Always love watching the crowd reaction on moments. But what about Cal Raleigh's walk home run to send the Mariners to the postseason in 21 years?
I think it’s mostly based off crowd pop, most are home games. I’m a cardinals fan and the best Cardinals post season HR of all (yes better than Freese and Ozzie) Pujols off Lidge isn’t included because the home crowd was just silent.
Definitely was a miss here
Where's Evan Longoria's game 162 homer?? Insane to not include that.
For real. That’s a massive oversight. That home run ended the biggest collapse in baseball history by the Sox and pushed the Rays to the playoffs with one swing. Like, who made this compilation? How could a baseball fan not think of that?
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking it... It's probably just because it's the Rays. They always get overlooked.
Im a redsox fan that had everything to lose by that homerun and I still agree that it should be on this list
I’m just here for Magglio. Sad we didn’t get Dan Dickerson’s call that lives rent free in my brain at all times. “It’s deep, it’s way back, the Tigers are going to the World Series!”
Literally got the worst radio version for that one.
Gotta add that game 6 2019 Jose Altuve home run to send the Astros to the World series
I was about to say… they’re missing one haha
prolly cuz he was cheating
Unfortunately game 5 of the 2023 ALCS Altuve Homer in the 9th wasn’t a walk off but it sure felt like it.
@@andysloan805oh yeah? Based on what evidence?
@@jeffhazen5314 how tf did u find this
I love baseball forever because of these moments
MLB Baseball ⚾ Is Your Life George Rodriguez
As a Dodgers fan I gotta say you guys coulda included CT3s walk off as a more modern Dodgers one but the Gibby one is indeed legendary
I remember as a kid watching Carter walk it off versus Wild Thing from the Phillies
Me too, I was 13 and couldn't believe I'd just seen a walk off home run to win the worlds series. :)
Odd that they didn’t use either Jack Buck’s or Jon Gordon’s call for Puckett’s HR.
Great list, but where is Longoria’s home run from game 162? Everyone said that was an historic night, come on MLB.
Bote's slam was one of the craziest sports moments i've ever seen live
I'm like, what's bigger than Kirk Gibson,
Oh yeah, Joe Carter.
I would have ended it with Mazeroski. Carter’s team was trailing, but it was Game 6 and Carter himself was a strong hitter. Mazeroski was Game 7, and nobody would have expected him to go yard.
Also, Boone’s Game 7 homer>Papi’s Game 4 homer. Papi’s started the 3-0 comeback, but Boone’s homer literally won the pennant in a winner take all game.
And speaking of pennant winning homers, as much as it hurts me, I’m shocked Altuve’s pennant winning homer wasn’t here. It’s too iconic and recent to leave out.
As a Toronto Blue Jays fan, the Joe Carter home run will always be the most epic home run to me.
As a person who works as an on-air personality for my living, I think it's so damn cool that when David Freese hit that Game 6 walk-off in 2011 and said "We will see you tomorrow night!" it was almost exactly 20 years prior that his dad, Jack Buck, called Kirby Puckett's Game 6 walk-off with those same words.
As soon as I saw Robbie Ray I knew what was about to happen 😭😭 I’m a Mariners fan!😭😭
My god, the absolute CLARITY & CRISPNESS of that clip of the '04 NLCS G6 Edmonds HR...
*chef's kiss*
Chris Burke’s walk off HR with Milo Hamilton and Alan Ashby on the radio call lives rent free in my head.
And this is why we play. This is why we watch. ❤
The Max Muncy disrespect smh. Where's Muncy's 2018 WS game 3 18th innings walk off?
I will never forget the Ozzie Smith home run. We could hear the cheering coming from our neighbors house.
Unbelievable that you leave out the walk off from the greatest night in regular season history. Game 162 Longo's homerun should be here.
as a Torontonian… forever proud of that moment and the Bautista flip
Love Kruks reaction to the Harper slam!
Nelson Cruz, David Freese, David Ortiz, Adolis Garcia, Joe Carter, Magglio Ordoñez, Bryce Harper, Bernie Williams, Derek Jeter, Evan Longoria, Yordan Alvarez some of the most epic walk off home runs whether in regular or post season.. Longoria's wasn't shown
Or Encarnacion against Baltimore
crazy how they missed the biggest walk off from arguably the best night in baseball history. Wild to leave that out.
or Altuve's GM6 2019 ALCS one to send the Astros to the WS.
Travis ishikawa to win the pennant for the giants
@@raptors9097as an Os fan, kinda glad it wasn’t. Still haven’t gotten over that one.
I don't see robin ventura's grand slam single on here and I don't know how you leave that out. One of my favorite Mets moments even if I wasn't able to witness it live and we lost that series.
I think that Freese HR was iconic not because he hit it, but because of that triple he hit a couple innings earlier. The Gibby HR is simply legendary.
The David Freese one is the best. Down to two strikes and the game on the line twice. Epic moment.
I wonder if Ichiro against Rivera will be on this video, long time ago but still an epic HR against one of the best closers ever.
Nope, all playoff HR it seems. I get that
There is nothing better in sports than a walk-off.
The complete lack of enthusiasm on the Cruz call for a walk off slam in the NLCS is absolutely criminal
Yall realize that freese HR run is in the WS..... I mean imagine the odds and the pressure of a city on your shoulders and you make grown men cry
Hanley Ramirez’s walk off home run after a comeback by the Red Sox vs. Yankees in 2016 should be on here. Red Sox were down 5-1 (5-2 with 2 outs in the bottom 9th), and so many fans left the stadium before Hanley’s walk off.
Joe Buck playing tribute to his dad during that David Freese home run always brings a tear to my eye.
90s-00s classic players! Wow good old days. Walk-off grand slams are incredible moments
Surprised kurt Suzuki putting the Mets down in 2019 didn’t make the cut. That was the night nationals fans knew they had a winner before the world did.
david freeses run to home will forever be etched in my brain. along with that call🔥
Picked up a David Bote Jersey the next morning, Wrigley was rocking
Game 2 of the 2005 World Series, Scott Podsednik, who hit 42 home runs in his 11 year career, hits a walk off home run. Insane.
Very surprised and sad to not see this on here ☹️
Where did all the widescreen broadcasts of those mid 2000s games come from? This is the first time I’m seeing them. Also same question about the ESPN Radio broadcasts of those games.
That Puckett-off-Liebrandt still smarts 30-some years later... Braves' lefties used to live off the corner, and I pretty much saw it coming because every pitch Charlie threw that inning seemed to catch a little more plate... and Kirby finally got his arms extended...
That Travis Ishikawa homer will always make me smile!
EVERYONE forgets Kirby Puckett almost hit for the CYCLE (double shy) in Game 6! Insane!
And exactly 20 years later Joe gets to honor his father by repeating
"We will see you tomorrow night"!..
I saw both games and loved it!⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾
I would add Tony Pena's homer in the 1995 ALDS, Cleveland's greatest season
Was like watching me and my brothers and our friends as we played all day long at the park until either the Sun went down or an angry parent showed up! 🤣
The best sports moment of my life was being 8 years old and witnessing the Kirk Gibson homerun in person.
Incredible quality on all these clips!!!!! :) 10:48 I can't believe the Red Sox run in 2004 was almost 20 years ago now!!!!
Would love for them to upload the 04 championship series in high def
all i learned from this video is that Joe Buck can take the excitement out of everything
The David Freese homer. I get chills from “we’ll see you tomorrow night”, but from what it said on the Jumbotron, i feel it as iconic.
“We Are Cardinal Nation.”
These are ALL great, and glad that my favorite Kirk Gibson's is so high up on the list, but it should be #1. Were any of the other ones hit by an injured, hobbled player on a team that wasn't supposed to win it all? No.
Against the most dominant and feared closer of that generation.
Jeff Kent, Manny Ramirez, Jim Edmonds, also Kirby Puckett as well
Seeing Yordan hit that walk off against Seattle in person was one of the best memories I’ll ever have…
Take notice how many of these home runs are a result of the pitcher missing his spot. These hitters are sooooooo good. You can’t make a mistake.
Mazeroski homerun is a walk off homerun in the game 7 of a World Series. Totally underrated.
David Freese... I'll never forget that ridiculous game 6 in 2011
The Altuve one vs Chapman deserved to be here
Some of these calls I’ve never heard. For example, the Jon Miller call of Magglio’s Pennant-winning Homer.
Right, why didnt they use the more exciting call
Yo that david bodie run was a really good pitch He just turned on it.I love it when I see good offense and defense.And just a good baseball moment.Just happens like you can't blame.Anybody on that pit was just a really good head.Good location he just tracked on it
I still remember bring in my best friends living room at age 11 at his birthday party and 8 of us and his parents screaming when he hit that Homer... go jays
All legendary...amazing
Outstanding list...would love to have seen Scott Hattebergs also for the A's 20th consecutive win. Good stuff
Playing the Ortiz walk off after the yanks was insane 😂
Baseball is the greatest sport to ever exist. 1 swing can change everything ❤
The Chris Hoiles walk-off slam against the Mariners should've been on here. That was EPIC!
Jim thome is a legend insane to think I go to the same high school he did and was told he was only 5th 6th best on the team. Anything can happen
This is amazing! 💫
I love walk offs cause they're always at home so the crowd just explodes every time
The Nelson Cruz home run at like the 2:45 mark gets the Joe Buck Awful Call treatment
Back when Houston was in the NL…only team to represent both conferences in the World Series
5:21 Interesting to hear that T. Brennaman seems to still be blackballed from baseball: lot of Fox clips (of games called by TB) have their audio replaced for radio calls of ESPN Radio.
Stantons Grand Slam after Judge hit 60 needs to be in this list
I was at the game that Harper hit that walk off grand slam place. That’s the loudest that I’ve ever heard the bank get at least a game I was at.
As a Cardinals fan...I cried about 5 times during this video.
Never any love for '05 white Sox. Scotty pods hitting his ONLY dinger of the year to walk off a world series game. Sounds pretty epic to me...
Manny homerun swing is the sweetest swing next to Ken Griffey Jr
