I’m a Cubs fan and I remember as a kid the classic game we had with y guys in 79’ 23-22. I always had the upmost respect for your team especially Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, and Tug McGraw. You guys played great baseball in the playoffs in 1980 and deserved the world championship.
I'm a Phillies fan and I remember that game too! The Shootout in Chicago! I would have been going on 12 years old. I also remember the home run rivalry between Mike Schmidt and Dave Kingman.
I was 12 at the time, eating my Ellios pizza on the floor in front of the 25 in. console tv in my house in Bethlehem PA, while my Gram and our neighbor lady were watching from the kitchen when Schmitty hit his home run. I jumped up yelling and cheering and my pizza went flying from my lap while my Grammy and neighbor celebrated with a clank of their glasses of Schmidt's beer....one of my favorite childhood memories. Thank you Gram for giving me the love of the Phillies and thank you poster for giving me the gift of reliving these moments...awesome...
Well, how do I respond to that? I was 23 at that time and I remember listening to the game on radio. I have been blind since birth so radio is my main way of listening to sports. I'm typing this from Coplay which is in Lehigh County. I think it's so nice you remember family members when you talk about such a memorable event. I like pizza as you do. If you want to hear more, I can tell you about other sports memories which are really special. Go Phillies!!
It's so great to see classic Phillies games like this one ..they are still my favorite team in MLB . Schmidt, Carlton,Bowa,Luzinski,Boone, MannyTrillo and Pete Rose and all the rest are my all time favorites
Thank you, to whoever uploaded these Phillies clips from 1980! Harry Kalas, one of his many, many great calls, and the radio call from Andy Musser was awesome as well! ("He buried it! He buried it!")
I sure do appreciate all the 1977 thru 1980 Phillies games. It brings back great memories growing up in South Philly. Keep em’ coming. I will never grow tired of Harry Kalas, that man was the voice of Phillies baseball. I loved Richie Ashburn and Andy Musser too on channel 17. Those were the days!
Where was I? I was in Perry, Ga, having been moved there from Allentown by my mom and stepdad the previous year. Late in the '80 season I discovered I could pull in 1210 am after eight in the evening. So I'd been keeping up. That night, it was drizzling in Ga, and I drove around in our '73 Hornet trying to get reception. I must have put fifty miles on the car that night. Andy's "HE BURIED IT!" will reverberate forever in my memory. To be able to view this game start to finish, and then watch the celebration/booze shower/interviews afterward is an immeasurable gift. Thanks so much.
After 35 years. I finally had a chance to watch this. I had to work weekend evenings at a place called H.A. Winston's on Elkton Rd in Newark,Delaware. (Best Burger's in town). I could only take glimpses at the TV in the bar. I'm so glad I finally could see the game in earnest. If you could upload more games from the regular season that would be great. I'm not going to hold my breath though. The days of Prism,channel 17, and rabbit ear antennas and an occasional thing with NBC placed limits on TV coverage. thanks again for this true classic from yesteryear.
I remember watching this live when I was 9 yrs old. The Luzinski liner caught and Rose getting doubled off 2nd, then Luzinski hitting the single in almost the exact same situation 2 innings later, the Trillo dropped pop up, and of course probably Schmidt's most iconic HR in the 11th all have stuck in my mind like it was yesterday. Crazy crazy game.
Love the radio days ! Thanks for a trip back to my childhood. Hearing the music in the background put me back in my bedroom as a 10 year old trying to listen . Back in Maroon Va
I love the Star Wars disco music and the "The Force Is With Us" line at 3:03:20 after Schmidts 3 run homer. A sign of the times. They play the same Star Wars music again at 3:13:16 after the Phillies win, as Rose and Carlton are celebrating with the Ewoks in Montreal.
"THE FORCE IS WITH US!!"--Great line after Schmidt jacks #48 over 440 feet to left center, and Harry Kalas calls it as only Harry can and could do. Plus the disco version of the theme from "Star Wars" as Schmidt circles the bases and slaps hands with the entire team. Great moment in Phillies history--later to conclude with their first World Series title ever against Kansas City.
My wife and I were at the Academy of Music because a 1pm game turned into a night game with all the rain delays in the game. We saw Natalie Cole and Lew Rawls and it was the last place any of us wanted to be but the some folks had transistors and the place went nuts when Schmitty hit that homer and Lew Rawls had no idea what was happening
SATURDAY,OCTOBER 4,1980- IT RAINED AT GAME TIME AND THE GAME STARTED LATE, FINISHING AT ABOUT 9:30 P.M. THE START OF THE PHILLIES GREATEST SEASON SINCE THEY PLAYED THEIR FIRST GAME ON TUESDAY MAY 1,1883. I HAVE BEEN A PHILLES FAN FOR 59 YEARS.
+Al Dattolo as a life long Phillies fan and absolute fan of baseball history, I would say this season had the greatest ending of any Phillies season, obviously tied with 2008, but not the greatest season. a lot of in fighting and a struggle all season. where as 1993 the Phils dominated pretty much all season just didn't have the end we wish it would have.
Bahnson gave Schmidt a 2-0 fast ball right down Broadway, belt high, and man oh man did Michael Jack crush that ball! The cameraman blew it because the ball went into the upper deck! And I love seeing Jerry White the left fielder, didn’t even move he just turned and watched it.
I was actually on my way to a high school dance when Schmidt hit the winning HR so I got to hear Andy Musser's "Long drive to left field, he buried it! He buried it!" Musser didn't have many classic calls but that was one of them.
What a game! Devastating to us Expos fans. It’s been 40 years. A really classic game to watch. The Expos had the win with Dawson at the plate, man on third bottom of the 10th. Tug McGraw with a clutch strikeout. Schmidt’s homer in the 11th.... the Phillies deserve the win!
Andre Dawson actually come through in the clutch? That very rarely happened. Dawson was the king of the inconsequential RBI. A choker of the highest order.
@@BartholomewSmutz He struck out! Amazing player and talent but he was not known for his clutch-hits ! He’s better known for turning a double into a triple with those long strides he had!
As I life long Phillies Phan I'll never forget this cuz about the 4th inning I went to get a take out burger forgot my keys locked myself out & never saw end of this game till now
so wonderful to hear a game covered without extra needless talking and a barrage of meaningless stats.. just let the game be the focus.. miss Ash & Harry so much
I had to work this Saturday. But since that it was delayed by rain (or something), when I got home it was in the third inning. Can still remember being at a neighbor's house when Boone hit a game winning single in the top of the ninth with two out. Everyone said the game was over when Boone came to bat. I said he might tie it. When he got the game winning hit, everyone was shocked. I fell on he floor acting as I had passed out. But the Phils won this day and finally won a World Series about a month later. thank you for posting this video.
I believe it was the fourth inning when Andy Musser points out that the Expos are missing two starters, in Ellis Valentine and Ron Leflore, but doesn't mention that the Phils had backup catcher, Keith Moreland starting, and Gold Glove centerfielder, Garry Maddox not playing.
Hey Im Brian from NJ. I use youtube mainly for Phils phootage and kitty stuff too. Im trying to find an upload of the '85 demolition of the Mets 26-7 at the Vet ,email me if he has that.
This is awesome. The post game in the clubhouse just showed how much Harry and Rixhie were fans and loves the players and the players enjoyed and respected them as well. If anyone can get the Channel 17 feed of Game 5 of the NLCS. Watching Richie telling Garry Maddox "you are a beautiful person as well as watching Andy Musser try to interview Kenny Bush, the equipment manager, is priceless. He is bombed
After watching THAT ASTROS series. After watching the world series. After watching this. Seeing how they constantly had to come back in games. Come from behind to make the playoffs. Getting swept by the Pirates in a 4 game series and look like it might be done only to win 5 in a row and solidify the team down the stretch. I think the Phillies were just destined to win it all this year. Had they had better pitching in the other years they probably would have won many. 76, 77, 78, 80, 83
I've for sure never seen this game but it should have been obvious after Bahnsen went low for 1-0 and then Schmidt checked his swing that Schmidt was timing that low fastball and I said to myself,"throw him (relatively)up and in". Bahnsen went to the same spot again, the spot that Schmidt had been sitting on all along. But this was 1980 I guess 🙄
All those errors. Parrish should have gotten an error for botched rundown on Bake too. Maybe the phils won ugly in 80, but Sept to end of WS, hard to recall a team that got as many clutch hits as 80 PHILS
At 1:51:40 Whitey says about the second pinch runner of the inning... "I believe it is that there Raines" .... Tim was 1 out of 20 with the bat in 1980. There must have been some speculation about wether or not the bat would come around. LOL
Its a shame the Phillies didnt keep Ryne Sandberg for at least the 1983 season, into the World Series. Mike Schmidt, Ryne Sandberg, Joe Morgan, and Pete Rose would have been the best infield ever assembled.
I think the Phillies were apprehensive about the mediocre fielding percentage of Sandberg in the minors at shortstop. In hindsight, you make a good argument.
Unser should have caught that ball, Maddox would have because he played shallow with that speed to get back. Unser was playing very deep I guess trying to hold the runner at 1st from scoring if they got a hit. 2 thirds of the earth is covered with water the other third is covered by Gary Maddox.
Dawson leaves the winning run on 3rd base in the bottom of the 10th. Leaving men in scoring position was a specialty of Dawson. He was terrible in the clutch and the most overrated Expo of all time.
The only time the Phillies won it all (during this run) is when schmidt finally hit in the postseason. 76, 77, 78, 81, 83. He stunk. Even in the 80 NLCS he did nothing.
The Phillies didn't play in the playoffs in 81. It was the Expos and Dodgers. Schmidt did alright in the 83 playoffs but didn't do shit in the World Series that year. Still the best all around 3rd baseman that ever played the game. Only Babe Ruth had more home run titles, 9 to Schmidts 8. 10 Golden Gloves, 3 MVP's, 1 World Series MVP, 4 home runs in a row in a game and something most people don't know but he hit 4 straight home runs another time against the Giants. In his last at bat hit a home run and in his 1st 3 at bats the next day hit home runs. I can't remember how many times he was an All Star but I know it was something like 12 times. Also has the record for most home runs in a season for a third baseman like it was said in this video.
@@t74guard78 how old are you? There was a players strike in 81 so there was a divisional round..who do think Montreal beat to make the NLCS? Anyway, schmidt was 4-16, 2 rbi, and 1 HR in 5 games. So add that to his playoff choke resume.
1980 will forever be my favorite year as a Phillies fan. How can it not be?
Agree 100%. 1993, 2008 and this year were a lot of fun, but 1980 was the best!
1993 had the best season.
sure is great hearing Richie Ashburn and Harry Kalas again,
Such a part of my life almost makes me want to cry.
agree, especially Harry Kalas.
It's the greatest Philly ASMR I relax and love watching 🤗 Thank you!!!

Sounds like life in an Irish household!

It's so great to see classic Phillies games like this one ..they are still my favorite team in MLB . Schmidt, Carlton,Bowa,Luzinski,Boone, MannyTrillo and Pete Rose and all the rest are my all time favorites
My favorites too, late most of 1970's and early 1980's are my favorite years for baseball.
Thank you, to whoever uploaded these Phillies clips from 1980! Harry Kalas, one of his many, many great calls, and the radio call from Andy Musser was awesome as well! ("He buried it! He buried it!")

My mom used to go to the Winston’s in NE Philly at Leo Mall during work lunch breaks.
Without a doubt, the 1980 Phillies playoffs were the greatest series' ever!!
This weekend series was like a playoff series. Best of 3. Whomever won two, won the division.
Soooooo many clutch hits, incredible baseball.
Hahaha! "THE FORCE IS WITH US!" after the Schmidt HR in the 11th! Awesome, great memory...
3:03:23 Enough said.

The Expo team was terrific. I wish they had stayed in Montreal. That was a majestic blast by Schmidt.
Ah, those 1980 cardiac Phillies!
They had an incredible run!
i could watch this all day what a team
I love the Star Wars disco music and the "The Force Is With Us" line at 3:03:20 after Schmidts 3 run homer. A sign of the times. They play the same Star Wars music again at 3:13:16 after the Phillies win, as Rose and Carlton are celebrating with the Ewoks in Montreal.
I love watching these old post game shows!
Just a memory here - from West Chicago, at night our console stereo picked up at the Phillies game where they won 26 to 7. 1983 I believe.
"THE FORCE IS WITH US!!"--Great line after Schmidt jacks #48 over 440 feet to left center, and Harry Kalas calls it as only Harry can and could do.

Thanks, I love Unsolved Mysteries too!
Bob Boone's 2 out 9th inning hit to tie the game was just as important as Schmidt's HR in extra innings!
Without the Boonie hit, there may not have been a parade on Broad Street.
It was so clutch
And Boone got 2 run 2 out single off nolan game 5 nlcs. No team had so many clutch hits.
Bahnson gave Schmidt a 2-0 fast ball right down Broadway, belt high, and man oh man did Michael Jack crush that ball! The cameraman blew it because the ball went into the upper deck! And I love seeing Jerry White the left fielder, didn’t even move he just turned and watched it.
I'll never forget the left fielder Dawson I think. Turned and looked.. hardly moved on Schmidt home run
I was actually on my way to a high school dance when Schmidt hit the winning HR so I got to hear Andy Musser's "Long drive to left field, he buried it! He buried it!" Musser didn't have many classic calls but that was one of them.
What a game! That Expos defense was fantastic! Great baseball!
Don Mc Cormack was a lifetime .400 hitter,going 2 for 5.
What a game! Devastating to us Expos fans. It’s been 40 years.

so wonderful to hear a game covered without extra needless talking and a barrage of meaningless stats.. just let the game be the focus.. miss Ash & Harry so much
is it just me or has the strike zone changed? It seems that a lot of lowish pitches were called strikes back in those days.
Great game from the Phillies rich history...
Phillies were a team of destiny that year..
I thought Houston was, well according to Howard Cosell in game 5. He was wrong.
I had just gotten cable that spring, and was glad that my Jersey Shore area system carried WPHL-TV
that homer by Schmidt was a monumental shot.
Richie Ashburn's play by play in the 7th inning is pure gold.
Absolutely right David.
Esp for a color guy.
Tug McGraw secures the NL east as he would the World Series, fantastic relief pitcher!
Gotta love the disco Star Wars going into the commercial break hahaha

what idiots could give this a thumbs downs this was one of phila. greatest championship runs ever or maybe in all of sports for that matter
I was almost 12 when this was played and I remember being fascinated by the name Rowland Office.
3:01:35 - beginning of at bat 3:03:09 - Long drive!!!
"Long drive, watch that baby! Way, way outta here! Homerun Mike Schmidt."
Classic call by Harry Kalas.
He torqued the crap out of that ball!
I believe it was the fourth inning when Andy Musser points out that the Expos are missing two starters, in Ellis Valentine and Ron Leflore, but doesn't mention that the Phils had backup catcher, Keith Moreland starting, and Gold Glove centerfielder, Garry Maddox not playing.
Steve Swangler yeah Garry Maddox......the secretary of defense!
However, Green had benched Boone and Maddox since Moreland and Unser had hotter bats.
A season to forget if you're a Met fan as I am. They were 56-57 in August before flushing that season completely down the toilet.
What beautiful memories...
Kalas and Musser also did extensive work for NFL Films
WOW!!! I DON'T BELEIVE THIS😇😇😇
if you can burn DVD's of this game & Tommy Greene's no hitter, I will pay you for it....love my Phillies a lot :)
Amen!

thank you
3:03:10 Schmitty's HR in 11th. You're welcome.
The biggest home run in the history of the Phillies. Mike Schmidt, including the theme from "Star Wars."
Phils smacked 17 hits in this one. Whew!
All those errors. Parrish should have gotten an error for botched rundown on Bake too. Maybe the phils won ugly in 80, but Sept to end of WS, hard to recall a team that got as many clutch hits as 80 PHILS
At 1:51:40 Whitey says about the second pinch runner of the inning... "I believe it is that there Raines" .... Tim was 1 out of 20 with the bat in 1980. There must have been some speculation about wether or not the bat would come around. LOL
Harry Kalas (PBP) & Rich Ashburn (C) 1-3/8-9
Andy Musser (PBP) & Ashburn (C) 4-6
Ashburn (PBP) 7
Kalas (PBP) 10-11
Phillies won 21 of their last 27 games to clinch the division in 1980.
Was that after the famous Dallas Green speech, "You guys think you're so effing cool....."
Phillies announcer explains @ 1:16:31 the reason why the Expos didn't run away with the NL East in 1980
Wheres the dirt for the mound, if its sticking cant they pour a 1/4 inch out?
Just realized this was the origins of Tim Mcarver the future overbearing play by play announcer.
Can someone please tell me how far that ball went?
Its a shame the Phillies didnt keep Ryne Sandberg for at least the 1983 season, into the World Series. Mike Schmidt, Ryne Sandberg, Joe Morgan, and Pete Rose would have been the best infield ever assembled.
I think the Phillies were apprehensive about the mediocre fielding percentage of Sandberg in the minors at shortstop. In hindsight, you make a good argument.
A "Hall of Fame" infield! Morgan is in the Hall, isn't he? Rose isn't but certainly should be ...
Whys captain America playing for Canada? hmmm must be a secret mission to get the Phillies the World Series.
Notice how none of the players are acting gay and wearing goggles during the celebration?
This is the sloppiest game I have ever seen with all these errors.
Watch at 3:27:30 ... the start of Tim McCarver's broadcasting career !!!
How the hell do you win a game with 5 errors??
IT WAS THE YEAR OF THE PHILLIES- THEIR FIRST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SINCE THEY WERE BORN ON TUESDAY, MAY 1,1883.
Usually when you still score more runs than the other team, theyll let you win.
Back before MLB turned into a little league organization NO RUNNER ON SECOND TO START EXTRAS!!!
lol, I am the 81st like.
Unser should have caught that ball, Maddox would have because he played shallow with that speed to get back. Unser was playing very deep I guess trying to hold the runner at 1st from scoring if they got a hit. 2 thirds of the earth is covered with water the other third is covered by Gary Maddox.

Dont read the comments some people dont realize we dont know exactly how this is going to play out and blurt out how its gonna end
Harry Kalas risks drowning and electrocution in the postgame.
Expos beat them in 1981 tho
The only time the Phillies won it all (during this run) is when schmidt finally hit in the postseason. 76, 77, 78, 81, 83. He stunk. Even in the 80 NLCS he did nothing.
