The pitcher who was a drunk, a killer, and an MLB record holder for most home runs given up

- Charlie Sweeney was a pitcher who had a very tumultuous MLB career. He loved to drink and he hated to be taken out of games. This led him to set the record for most home runs given up in one game. It's not the kind of record you want to hold, especially not for over 125 years.

Surely the most remarkable part of this story in that the team had a bus in the 1800's
hmmmm.... it could have been horse drawn.
@@markinnes4264 The horse drawn omnibus had been around for decades by then, so it is plausible, though still unlikely
@ThisIsMyRealName or you as A person its A mystery
Well, they weren't too dissimilar to what we have today, only really the styling has changed, in fact watch a movie that is set in the 1940's (Like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" for example) and the buses seen in that a basically what they had when Sweeney was playing
I mean, the first bus was invented in the 1600's according to Google, so they had over 200 years to perfect them when this game came around
ThisIsMyRealName the 1800s were, quite frankly, the greatest century in human history in terms of pulling the human population out of poverty.
That dude sounds awesome... He told his boss off, quit and immediately had a three-way. I think i have a new hero.
Theres nothing cool about hiring prostitutes cause your not actually good enough to get an actual woman.
@@BVBrocks927 it probably wasn't easy picking up chicks in the 19th century
@@BVBrocks927 taking home a girl you met at a bar and having a one night stand is no different than hiring a prostitute from the 19th century. Probably less chances of getting a disease.
BVBrocks927 , the story said the women were believed to be prostitutes, not they were or that he hired them for their professional services. Perhaps, he was seeing the ladies on their time off. Are not these ladies worthy of forging personal relationships away from the office?
@@BVBrocks927 make no mistake, one way or the other you're paying. I may not have ever paid directly for sex, but I've definitely paid.
As the late, great, Colonel Sanders once said... "I'm too drunk to taste this chicken."
Ricky Bobby!
We need a 2K / The Show baseball game set in the late 19th century. Half the game is like GTA, carousing in now-forgotten boom towns in north-central Ohio. Fisticuffs & brawls, opium abuse, whiskey. Lots of whiskey. The earliest roots of segregated Black leagues, as well as integrated Black teams, are in the 1880s. Lot's to explore
I'd buy it
Sounds awesome. We could call it Deadball.
Your cool idea inspired me to try something in RPG Maker. If i ever get it done I promise to credit you for the inspiration.
@@pharoah418 brilliant name
@@knightresplendent9527 so, any updates?
Unbreakable record: B.J. Gray is the winning pitcher after throwing 0 pitches. (He picked off a runner to complete an inning.)
It is actually an unbreakable. That may be the only record legitimately unbreakable
I think Dean Chance got a win in relief without retiring a batter. He picked off an inherited runner to end the inning and his teammates pulled ahead for good in their next time at bat. No idea on the pitch count, though.
This is an even more impressive record when you consider that it's in the dead-ball era, when home runs were a lot more difficult.
Yeah, it was easier to hit an inside the park home run than out of the park. Curious what the park dimension were for this game.
Actually the dead ball era started at the turn of the century. Prior to that there were a lot more hitter friendly rules and offenses as a whole were better
@@nickcostanza8730 - The ball was still dead in the late 1800s. There were more HRs, but not dramatically more.
Detroit led the league with 53 home runs that year (1886)
In other words, about 13 percent of all their home runs came on one day against one pitcher
For context, major league record for team home runs is 307 by the 2019 Twins; imagine if they hit 40 home runs in one game against one very unlucky starting pitcher
@@warlordofbritannia I'd hang up my mitt and retire if I was that guy
Do you think the rest of the staff gets tired of these Jon comments???
The probably firtydgdn malpinschlinhle their owenvirkestikel every mapindtrchin dackle livoretymosis.
never
It was surprisingly good in comperison to most non jon videos tho
Well I mean if they want the comments to stop all they have to do is be better than Jon
Yes
Actually, tbh, I've really grown to like this guy. And his beard.
Or maybe just his beard. But the shows are ... good too
good but not pretty good
Don't sell yourself shot, Hoff. Your last name is pretty hoss, too. And Declarative, also. Flaunt it!!
The beard has hypnotized you into saying all his videos are good lol.
I thought that you were speaking about Sweeney, I'm now a big fan, except for the shooting .
you just like the close pin people lol its ok, we all do
we indubitably need more of this guy. his nonchalant story-telling that is oxymoronically engaging/interesting feels more like listening to a friend instead of a broadcaster or "youtube" personality...either way, i like him.
Unbreakable NBA record: Rasheed Wallace’s 41 technical fouls in a season
steve b that is impossible
Damian Anderson Considering how quickly refs dish out techs nowadays, this record is easily attainable
Selfish Stockton it’s always been that way lmao. tim donaghy once gave sheed a tech for staring at him
Selfish Stockton and don’t forget when duncan got a DOUBLE TECH AND THROWN OUT FOR LAUGHING ON THE BENCH
If anyone breaks it it’ll be draymond green or Demarcus cousins

"Too drunk to pitch? Pitch on acid!" - Dock Ellis
Lol where'd that come from?
@@dailydoser1309 You Tube Doc Ellis and look for the cartoon animated story in which Doc tells the tale himself.
@@smmusicplus96 thank you!
@@smmusicplus96 That short animation is awesome...really captures the story well.
Do you wanna suck and think you're awesome?
Or be awesome and think you suck?
"Sweeney quit, right there on the mound."
These days we would call that Doing A Vontae Davis.
Lol I wouldn't want to play for the bills
These days we call that pulling an Antonio Brown.
Yeah Jon is great, but I like Mike too, why yall complaining about who the host is, just be happy that there is high quality sports content to watch
one step closer to a #JonBois comment
If it ain't Mike or Jon... I mean I'll still watch
This is the best so far. Mike's narration was great.
What a great story. Excellent job my friend.
This video was amazing keep it up SB Nation.
Thank you! This is very fun to watch. :-)
Here's the deal SB Nation: your best series are "Pretty Good" and "Chart Party".
All other series should be named in relation to those two series:
"Not Too Bad"
"Could Be Worse"
"Statistics Conference"
"Quantitative Reunion"
"Damn. We Wish We Could Clone Jon Bois So Our Subscribers Could Shut the Hell Up Already"
You're definitely one of us #JonBoys -- aka ppl who represent the works of our Lord and saviour #JonBois
This is such a clever animation. Awesomely done.
I don't even follow baseball but you find the most interesting stories to cover I have to occasionally watch your videos
This guy lived hard... Arthur would be proud :’)
Im gonna watch them all but for now this is my favorite.
Big Hoss Radbourn? BIG Hoss?! You'd best hope @OldHossRadbourn on Twitter doesn't hear about this!
I love videos like this!
Man, I miss this style of video. I’m sure it’s super time consuming, but I love the little characters. They add a lot to the stories imo.
I love the adorable animations on the figurines.
Basketball is my favorite sport. I like the way they dribble up and down the court.
Quoting lyrics of *"Basketball by Bow Wow"* in a video about baseball ?.....
*PRICELESS*
Golden Kingdom I think you mean “Basketball by Curtis Blow”
Christian Malabanan I stand corrected. You're right. I never even heard of Kurtis Blow but, thx for correction.
Just like I'm the king of the microphone, so is Dr.J and Moses Malone.
I like slam dunks, take me to the hoop, my favorite play is the alley-oop
This is the perfect video for Jon.
I know right I hope he comes out with a new video soon but this guy still did an okay job
Jon would make this story last 28 minutes, and we would love every 28 of those minutes
Not For Long the video wasn’t bad, but I agree.
Jon can only do one video every month or so. He probably has a dozen topics lined up already. Not every cool sports story has to be told by him.
Pretty good
Unbreakable MLB record: Fernando Tatis' two grand slams in one inning. No one has even ever tied this, let along break it.
I can't tell you how weird it was watching that in 2022 and hearing "Fernando Tatis" and having to tell myself to not use the image I have in my mind of a human being named Fernando Tatis
You're a LEGEND CHARLIE SWEENEY
I love this style
My grandfather Clarence "Hooks' Iott ,in 1941 while pitching for the Paragoul Browns threw 25 strikeouts in a 9 inning game and followed that a few weeks later with 30 strikeouts in a 16 inning game. He was then called up to the majors in the majors St Louis Browns . Then ofcourse 1941 Pearl harbor, Ww2 interrupted baseball. He did make it back to the big leagues in 47 where he pitched 1 shutout but bounced around the minors for 15 years or so. The mlb record is not a good one. But hey , he made it to the bigs. And pitched a shutout at Wrigley field while playing for the NY Giants.
He has the highest ERA of any pitcher ever to pitch a shutout in MLB.
And was also considered a Rookie in the same year as "Jackie Robinson " in the same year and city and same division. I don't know if he ever pitched against Robinson.
Dude, your beard could conquer nations. It is awesome!
I like how he causally throws the knife on the table.
He's a lumberjack. We're lucky he didn't bring an axe.
a couple things, charles radbourn's nickname was "old hoss", not "big hoss". and charlie sweeney only had one good year in 1884 when he went a combined 41-15. his arm was pretty much mud after that, he went 11-21 the next year and was done. his career was pretty much limited to 2 years and as you mentioned, destroyed his arm.
My hero!
I love this guy please let's have a back story video for him
You also have a sexy beard
Good to learn of this legendary ball player
Watching these in 2022 without seeing them prior feels like uncovering some sort of ancient Secret Base manuscripts.
A legend
Unbreakable record: Most consecutive no-hitters (2) by Johnny Vander Meer. While I believe that it might be possible to tie this record, it will never be broken.
Wait, they had buses in the 1800s?
What I wanna see is a video on the record for most consecutive games played in all sports
Cool video style
Jack Taylor set the record for the most consecutive complete games pitched in 1904 when he pitched 39 complete games from April 15 through October 6, 1904. Taylor also holds the record for the most consecutive games without being relieved with 202.
Chris Archer gave up 4 HR in an inning. I think the record is slowly creeping towards the possible realm.
His story needs to be made into a movie make it happen!
St.louis browns ned garver being a 20 game winner on a 100+ game losing team I think is incredible
This was good but not pre-
Why do I do this to myself
For drunk and killer in the title I thought you were gonna say Matt bush 😂
Do a video about Doc Ellis
Guys Jon's at vacation
Please do not bully sbnation
choose282 oh hey that rhymed
bars
Roses are red
Jon's on vacation
Please do not bully
SB Nation
Can we get a Doc Ellis LSD no hitter video?? What a story man I think this would mark a great video
me too. i remember pitching a 1 hitter on a bad hang over, hit a home run and went 2 for 4. i think it was cherry vodka, but i ended up throwing up and remember still being a bit drunk when the game started. ah, the good times.
My guess was David Wells
Old Hoss Radbourn gave the earliest documented instance of flipping the bird; could that have been directed at Sweeney?
fishflake1209 I knew his nickname was old hoss and not big hoss, I just hoped someone else pointed it out so I wouldn’t look crazy
What a legend
Seems like a great guy.
Charlie Sweeney the mans man
Ah yes, BIG Hoss Radbourn. One of the better nicknames out there. Along with Walter "The Old Train" Johnson and Lou "The Iron Giant" Gehrig.
steve b The joke. You missed it.
Jeff Allen the iron horse idiot
You got it, Boss Hogg.
DriftKing18594 thanks I resemble that remark
Jeff Allen nicely played
Grover Cleveland Alexander is my favorite drunken pitcher. He had a Hall-of-Fame career but remembered almost none of it.
Aaahhh, the sweet life of a ball player.
Thank you, SB Nation. I, too, can read this guy’s Wikipedia page.
You should do video on Germany Schaefer stealing second, then stealing first back, then stealing second again.
What's the name of the song in the video?
Can you do Rube Wadell?
Do Kevin Na’s 16 at the Valero Texas Open
the rare "double snowman" eh?
Curt Schilling is proud of this guy
do a video on the 27 consecutive loses.
If he was 24 when he went to Jail, that meant this dude struck out 19 people when he was like 22 and had almost 100 complete games as a 23 year old.
The royals are going to have a pitcher break this record this season. Calling it. 3/30/2018.
Rick Sanchez in a dimension when he was a baseball player
I've always said that the best way to pitch is either hungover or currently drunk.
Let up 7 home runs in a game when most teams didn't hit that many in a year...
Looking at that Farmer's commercial, now we FINALLY know what "would [my, my, my, my Mitchell's]" momma say?"
"Looks like we're in a Farmer's commercial!"
Unbeatable record? I was at Carlos Silva's 5/20/2005 74 pitch complete game
Jon Bois sure looks different today
What about the ranger oriole game where they had 30 runs did they have seven homers or is it just one pitcher who gave up that many
So where do I aquire a Sweeney jersey ?
This story would make a great movie. It could be serious or a comedy. But who would play Sweeney?
Title= CC Sabathia, Aroldis Chapman, and Clayton Kershaw
You could do the unbreakable record currently held by Cal Bowdler.
Anyone else waiting for Jon to do an episode about nc states 1983 championship run?
"Charlie's back motherf***ers!" Lol😄.
Going for that Archie Bradley look, I see
One of these days, there will be a new Jon Bois video.
They should make a movie about Hoss Radbourn
Charlie Sweeney was the Darryl Strawberry of the 1880’s.
Dwight Gooden Strawberry's partner in crime might be a better choice. Strawberry at least got his act together. Gooden is still one seriously messed up dude.
Michael Imhoff looks like he could hide a flask of vodka in his beard.
This should have definitely been a pretty good
59 wins?! What year was this?
Do wilts record of either points or rebounds in a game
Billy ellish vibes at the beginning
Didn't Fox Sports Net do an episode on him?
They had a team bus in 1886?
Charlie unfortunately doesn’t have a baseball reference page…
A drunk player, a killer, and a record holder walk into a bar. the bartender says “what’ll it be today, aaron hernandez?”
Aqrol ohhhhhhh
Weird man in plaid shirt talking baseball, playing with dolls in a paper tent. This has it all.
