Im a red sox fan.
Paul O'Neil handed me a ball after a catch at fenway. One of my favorite baseball memories.
Señor Roberto O’Neill was always a class act.
You need to wake up and realize the red sox are a garbage organization. Paul Oneil gave you a hint. We dont want you as a yankee fan. Be an orioles fan fool.
Sometimes you're a Red Sox fan and there's a Yankee that you wish had been a Red Sox player, like O'Neill. Other times, you're a Yankee fan and there's a Red Sox player like Dustin Pedroia that you would have liked to have had as a Yankee.
👍
Shoulda been the favorite how many chances do you get for a legend to hand you over the very thing that made him a legend lol
Paul O'neill = The heart of the Yankee dynasty..
+risingforce86 Heart and soul. The Warrior
Yes yes yes yes yes.
At least one of the arteries
Big O'Neill owned the big apple
My goodness but Paulie had a hell of a beautiful swing!
O'Neil was one of the most passionate and dedicated players I've ever seen.
All time favorite. Watching the Yankees has never been the same since he retired.
One of my favorite Yankees of all times.
+MoCatt Being from central Ohio like Paul, he is definitely my favorite player-ever-for all the right reasons. And that's saying something, since I grew up watching the big red machine. I became a Yankees fan after Cincy traded him in for none other than Roberto Kelly, lol.
Jay Cee me too.
George Steinbrenner was right, O’Neill was a warrior. He played hard, he played hurt, he gave it his all . One of my favorite Yankees.
One of the guys that made my childhood awesome.
What’d he do, sneak into your bedroom late at night. One of the handsy uncle type! 😭😭
🎯
I loved O'neill, no Ego, was a true team player, and I respected how his rage was because he let his team down (for example, when striking out) not because of his stats or personal glory. And, just like Bernie Williams, he was clutch when the yankees needed it
Rage in such an instance is indicative of ego.
One of the most underrated and undervalued players ever in baseball. A true all out Warrior as mentioned in this clip.
The Warrior. The game needs more of him.
what about when O'Neill made the final catch in David Wells' perfect game?
Or the catch in Cone’s perfect game
@@dcfanchris it was in there
He could probably replace his blooper jumping over the pile with this one
What about him promising Kramer he will hit two home runs? lol
Alex Patt lol nice
Alex Patt Fuck Kramer, always hated that asshole, George too.
He never promise Kramer. Kramer suggested he hit a couple of dingers.
@@TheAzurinBoyz2012 Here's how it played out:
Kramer: Babe Ruth did it!
O'Neill: He did not!
Kramer: You're saying that Babe Ruth was a liar?
O'Neill: I'm not calling him a liar, but he wasn't stupid enough to promise two.
By the way Paul O’Neil has to catch a ball in his hat
Used to call him Paul Oatmeal as a kid...one of my favorite players growing up.
I've been a Yankee fan since childhood and Paul O'Neill is easily in my top 3 or 4 favorites of all time. I loved his competitiveness and his ability to come through in the clutch and most of all, unlike a lot of other modern players, I could NEVER think I would be trying harder than he was and I really loved that about him. It's fun to watch a guy play any sport when you know he's trying as hard as you would, how can you not respect that? Great guy too, great announcer, great sense of humor and I think it was destiny that he became a Yankee!
the news of the ny yankees retiring 21 actually made me cry. wow.
Yes!!!!! Oh the memories. Thanks Paul O'Neill.
Always looked up to him as a kid. Such an awesome swing. Never took a play off. Much respect.
.My favorite baseball player!!!! And I'm a lifelong Astros fan!!
Loved the way Paul played the game! Every night he came to play!
Big O'Neill always played with heart
The fiercest Yankee competitor ever. This man would break bats and smash Gatorade coolers after routine outs. What a competitor.
He was my favorite player growing up and I wore his number playing ball. The clip they're missing here is the double in Cleveland during the 9th inning of game 5 of the 97 Division Series. Yes, the Yankees lost the game when Williams flew out right after. But his hustle, and determination of getting into scoring position after driving the ball off the centerfield wall is the example of why he was termed "The Warrior" by the boss.
dwedge914 was hoping someone mentioned this. He raged that whole series but that moment probably summed him up best
Paul was my favorite player growing up!
Love Paul O the warrior.I got chills watching this video so awesome for one of my favorite Yankees!!!
I was there at the WS Game 5 in 2001. You could feel the Stadium moving as we chanted his name.
As long as I shall live, Paul will be as someone I look up to (just like Donny).
He was one of a kind!
I’m so glad he’s still a part of the Yankee family.
I was never a yankee fan but Paul was a man I could definitely respect. Big time.
Amazing yankee, loved that little foot kick in his swing
H3 was unbelievable he was the only yankee ever called the warrior no one can take that title it belongs to O'Neil hes earned it he deserves it what a guy
I was at his last game in Yankee Stadium, game 5 of 2001 World Series! Unbelievable
My favorite swing of all time
My favorite Baseball player.
My Dad favorite player back then.
that batting stance was winning
O'Neil was so clutch
A hero to every true Erica and Celtic boy. I loved " Paul my boy" as grandma used to call him. This was when baseball was great and you could set your watch to the assuredness of the continuation of a Yankees dynasty. All those guys, Bernie Williams, Tino.Martinez,.Mike Mesina,, Scott Brosius, even Wade Biggs. There hasn't been another dynasty like that since those days. Makes me want a Schaefer and a hot dog!
Edit" substitute American for erica
Loved watching this guy play the game.
MARCVS LICINIVS CRASSVS me too.
Was always my favorite player.
Happy Birthday Paul !
No bat flip just hits homers and runs - pure class
The 90s Yankees Was a Glorius Time to be a Yankee Fan...Even if They Won 5 Straight World Series in The Next 5 Years it Wont Feel The Same
one of a pleathra of great Yankees!
Sweet Golf Swing he had - great Pull Hitter !
My favourite Yankee.
In my book about the Yankees, I have O'Neill as one of the best Yankees of the dynasty. Jeter was great, but if there were 2 out in the bottom of the 9th and I had a choice, I bat O'Neill and he was one of the best fielders as well. One of the reasons why I have so much respect for him is that he settled his contracts quietly without trying to squeeze out every penny he could. O'Neill is the man.
I would argue Bernie for that spot in the clutch as well. That team was amazing and I loved the roster, but Williams, O’Neil, and Jeter were just phenomenal
LEGEND!
Paul O'Neill, an all-time Yankee great for sure! #21
why the reds traded Big O'Neill I'll never no
@@alexpratt932 to be honest at the time, Roberto Kelly was a better player than Paul O'Neill. Gene Michael saw beyond what everyone saw on that trade, Paul ended up becoming an awesome player for close to a decade and Kelly never was a star after the trade.
@@guitarlover80 thx for your response, the yankees must of realize roberto kelly reached his top level. what did the reds not see that the yankees did, because looking at Big O'Neill stats other then the 28 homers & 91 rbi's in 1991 nothing else but average stats.
I remember when the Yanks got him i was hyped to have his lefty bat and that sweet swing. Gene Michael was able to build the Yankees a dynasty while The Boss was suspended. Well actually he was banned for life but obviously was reinstated
Paul O’Neil is Cody Bellingers spirit animal
I like Gary Thorne calling that home run " deep in the night of New York"
He had that effortless lumberjack swing.
Paulie had deceptive power- he made it look so clean and easy.
Can't believe this didn't include the double he hit in the 9th inning of the 1997 ALDS. Slides headfirst, gets a gash on his chin, etc.
+Michael Rinella
SPOT ON COMMENT. By '97 I pretty much knew that Paulie had usurped Don Mattingly as my favorite Yankee of all time but that double cemented it. Tore my heart out.
Costas was wrong about 1999 WS. That was his fourth ring. He was on 1990 Reds.
We love you Paul!!!
Paul O Neil is my favorite Yankee. Also I'm an Indians fan.
He's one funny son of a bitch announcing too.
0:48 - 0:54 might be the greatest home run call by any announcer ever
The legendary Gary Thorne
who also did commentary for NHL on ESPN from 1992 until 2004 when ESPN lost out to NBC
Yankees are retiring Paul O’Neill’s number 21!
Yankees aren't my favorite baseball team, but dammit to hell if Paul O'Neill wasn't one of the winningest ballplayers I ever saw back then! Reds must still be kicking themselves for taking him for granted all those years he was with them, lol. All the Yankees did was rescue him from obscurity and polished him off until he was a gleaming jewel in that classic pinstriped jersey. R-E-S-P-E-C-T to The Warrior!
;-D
In 1999 Paul lost his father. He said his memory of the 1999 title was fuzzed up I don’t remember what he said exactly but his memory of that title took a backseat to his father death.
I remember when Paul O'Neill played for the Cincinnati Reds!
I miss him.
The love Yankees fans showered on him in his last home game in the World Series gives me chills still. Yankees fans literally forced the Yankees to retire his number . I don’t believe he gets the credit he deserves on those yankee teams .
His walk against Armando Benitez should be here. He grinded that at bat out and kept them alive. Also in 97 his double in last game where he with aches and pains hustled his way to 2nd to try and keep them alive. He was a grinder.
I’ll never forget that double in 97. That was O’Neill in a nutshell.
The WARRIOR!!!!!!
You Yankee fans got a great ball player from my beloved Cincinnati Reds. We got Roberto Kelly. I remember thinking WHAT! NOOOO. O'Neil one class act.
do you know the reason the reds traded Big O'Neill
reds couldn't see that he was going to be a really good player?
@@alexpratt932 true plus Sweet Lou and Paulie really did not get along. At least that was reported in Cincinnati at the time.
@@scottlewis8386 thx so much for the info . from what I've watched on youtube, lou piniella liked to argue with umpires he looked like he had a temper. then u look at Big O'Neill he always ran hard and had some clutch hits, wonder what lou piniella expected out of Big
@@alexpratt932 Man let me tell ya, of all the great Reds players we've had(we've had some good ones), o'neill was my favorite. Kept his head down, had a blue collar attitude, played like an animal. We loved him here. Class act. Not really sure why Sweet Lou and Paul didn't click. But you got the sweetheart of a deal.
@@alexpratt932 Word is Pinella wanted to change Paul's swing. Both are fiery and intense guys
No top Paul O'neil's yankees moments would be complete without him kicking or hitting the water coolers. #Rip water coolers. Paul O'Neil was a great player.
You gotta include the double and the slide in game 5 of the 97 ALDS that kept their season alive for one more batter. Nothing epitomized his guts and heart more than that one play.
my favorite yankee, what a dynasty that was
Hate the Yanks all you want, but you won't see showboating bat flips or any other sort of scumbaggery from them. The greatest franchise of all time.
JoshDone how are bat flips scummy? Stop making the game boring old man
JoshDone Forget it man, those good old days are dead and gone. Acting like dick is just the way it is but fortunately not every player does it. Hey, it's worse in the NFL the way these clowns celebrate making a tackle after a 4 yard gain, in the FIRST QUARTER!!! What schmuck!
Michael Belfer how are bat flips scummy explain why can't players show emotions what an old way of thinking
Livio Faustini It's called being a class act and modest. A true man will get the job done and walk away, not put on a douchebag act.
difference of opinion i guess bat flips are here to stay and they make the game more exciting so you can keep that old mind set
When Paul O'neill competes he wears no smile.
Loved watching this guy ...donny baseball as well
My favorite baseball player! THE WARRIOR!
I'm surprised they haven't retired #21 already.
I agree. They stopped having standards years ago...
Need some water? You sound pretty salty.
smittykins hes not a hall of famer
Richard Kucklinski Neither are Jorge Posada or Bernie Williams. But they retired their numbers.
You can't retire every damn number
@.48 - 1:03. Two sweet swings the Yankees could use today!
When lou panellia..said I got a guy who plays with pride and verosity.and grabbed him from Cincinnati..the rest is history.... semper fi
yankees stole o neill in that roberto kelly trade, great trade stick michael
also remembered Roberto Kelly and Bernie Williams were battling it out for CF. Pretty glad the Yanks stuck with Bernie :)
bernie was great. kelly faded away in nl after 1 good year
Lou Piniella didn’t like him that’s why
Didn't o Neill win 5 championships total? 4 with the Yankees and 1 with the reds in 1990?
Jinder InJuice yup
Always Great
Legend has it he once caught a fly ball with in his hat!
That running catch O'Neill made to save and end that world series game against the Braves was so downplayed by announcer Joe Buck. That was an amazing catch in a pivotal moment.
Leave it to Joe Buck to downplay a big moment
The good old days.
Thank you "Stick".
#the warrior
What about his catch for the final out of David Well's perfect game?
Great player. You’d never see him get mad or show anybody up. Level headed all the time. Calm
Paul O'Neill equals champion
I liked it when O'Neill was punching out water coolers in the dugout.
Wish Paul Would Let Them Make A Yankeeography On O"Neill, He Deserve"s It !!!! Stay Strong....Peace
He's got one on Yankeeography Volume Two
The Reds trading him was one of the worst trades ever. Give up Paul for Roberto Kelly.
Big O'Neill made the reds look clueless in their scouting department
The warrior
Present day Yankees could really use a player like him.
Thank God for that Assistant to the traveling secretary for the New York Yankees.
The Yankees should retire his #21 this year
yes! the fact that they haven't yet baffles me... maybe he just hasn't been gone long enough... when did Paul O'Neill retire?...was it sometime around 2002/03? I have no idea it's just a guess... who knows the correct year he retired?
p.s.----->>> Paul O'Neill is my favorite Yankee of all time so they BETTER do him justice and retire his goddamn #21 asap!!! am I right or am I right???
+Chris Li Loia he retired after 2001 season
@@liloiax22 it’s happening this year
Amen! Greatest character and heart ever
I like when he punted the baseball back to the infield.
Big O'Neill gave up on the play and kicked the baseball out of frustration and by luck the baserunner stopped at third as the baseball trickled towards the infield
Ohh yah tie game Paul O'Neill!!
The man was all in white and seem kind of glorious.
Paul O'Neill: "It's hard to hit homeruns and where the heck did you get two from? I'm not a homerun hitter!"
Also Paul O'Neill: 0:29
Paul O’Neil .....👏 👏- 👏 👏 👏
'Paul O'Neill moments with the nutso temper tantrums after wiffing are the best. No one did it better
