“The Double,” a vital moment for Seattle Mariners baseball, needs a deep rewind | 1995 ALDS
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 09. 2019
- The 1995 ALDS between the Seattle Mariners and the Wild Card-winning New York Yankees was a big deal. The Yankees were playing their first postseason baseball in well over a decade. The Mariners felt like they were playing for their home: A deal for a new stadium in Seattle depended in some part on the team and its fans proving they were worth the investment.
After New York won the first 2 games at home, Seattle rallied to tie the series, and it all came down to the bottom of the 11th inning. The Mariners trailed by one run with one out, runners at the corners, and slugger Edgar Martinez at the plate.
This episode of REWINDER investigates the backstory of this moment -- the stadium drama, the Yankees' prior history, and the paths each Mariner took to participating in that critical moment.
It's one of the most exciting events in baseball history, and it meant so much to so many people.

As a couple people have pointed out, the Griffey catch clip included in here is NOT the one in which he broke his wrist. Dumb mistake. We're breaking Seth's wrist as punishment.
SB Nation please do a rewinder on Kawhi’s game 7 buzzer beater over the sixers
Sounds fair to me
Fair punishment wrist for a wrist
You also didnt use the Dave Niehaus call for the audio...shame
SB Nation Can you guys please do a rewinder of game 7 of the 1991 world series?
Didnt even use the Dave Niehaus audio. Shame.

Easily my biggest gripe. How does one of the best calls of all time get left out?
czcams.com/video/F8SBJzOEcyU/video.html
I was seriously hoping they would. That's one of the few bright spots this team has had.
I believe this play is also just remembered in Seattle by the words “My Oh My!”
Jon Bois: you’re doing a rewind on this?
Seth: yea, why?
Jon: oh no reason.
I like your name bro. Truly a name of legends.
How can you do The Double and not use Dave's call. It is legendary.
Every call Dave made was legendary. One of the greatest commentators for any sport ever.
I think Musburger's is better to ME, but I'm not a Seattle native or Mariners fan per se. I can totally understand why anyone who roots for the team prefers that call, as it sounds organic and full of emotion. I have no nostalgia for that because when I saw it, I heard the national broadcast.
Musberger was already past his prime in '95.
Dorktown got it right.
just search for the mariners history here on secret base, by jon bois. there they used dave's call. one of the best sport docs here.
“I DON’T BEE-LIEVE IT”
Words that any true Mariners fan will never forget
“This is a moment that belongs to another world, one where cycles close and stories end, where there are heroes and the heroes win. A moment like this has no business in our world.”
@@arturocely5334 i believe it's from the mariners docuseries, probably episode 4 (if my memory is right).
Crying again just from reading that.
Fun fact: This 1995 Mariners team was a big reason for the development of the original Backyard Baseball game.
Yep. The GOAT himself, Pablo Sanchez, had his swing modeled after Edgar's.
@@tripleoo0 NO. WAY.
Oh man, those games were the BEST :D
Wait really? That's freeking awesome I love those games
@@tripleoo0 YOOOO
Got here so early the Sonics are still around
Jay Villa 😂😂😂😂
Being from LA and missing the rivalry between the Lakers and Sonics, that stings.
Seattle > Oklahoma City any day.
When will we get another NBA franchise? This is a crime... over a decade has passed, and still nothing!
Maybe some SODO MOJO can remedy this...
Just came back from the future. The Sonics are back after an NBA Expansion led to 32 teams.
@@insertcolorfulmetaphor8520 maybe try to get your own franchise instead of trying to steal Sacramento's?
Would have loved to see the call from Dave Niehaus here, his emotion truly captures this amazing moment and what Rewinder is all about
classic call that gives me goosebumps every time i hear it!
Yes! I’m a bit disappointed they didn’t use that. Legendary call.
Yeah, it's a classic for sure. That being said, Musburger absolutely nailed the call in his own right.
czcams.com/video/F8SBJzOEcyU/video.html
Neihaus is a hall of fame legend, I was preparing to hear his voice too :(
The greatest moment in my favorite team’s history...too bad I wasn’t alive to see it
Proto Man that is bad. Like not saying that to be cruel to you I’m just saying that is bad.
How did you die?
i was 16. 2nd best sports moment just behind super bowl 48 for me! ive been asking for this video for about a year!!!
I was 7 when it happened. Not a Mariners fan though but I remember watching that ending. I loved Griffey and Martinez I would always have them in my baseball video game line ups LOL
I’m with you on that man. Hopefully we’ll get to see moments like that in the near future
Dave Niehaus' call of "The Double" is one of the most iconic calls in baseball history! How could you guys not use that!?
Its a crime against baseball itself!
zombieflipkick Grifffeyyyy is comin around! Is also an incredible call
@@HamuraiC-137 No. It isn't.
@@HamuraiC-137 go listen to Dave Niehaus' call, and then try to say this one stands a chance.
Weird how y’all didn’t use Dave Niehaus’ call of the game.
Also Griffey said that if the ball was hit anywhere else, he would’ve only made from first to third. Griffey knew that the left field line was softer than the rest, and would give him time to go from 1st to home in a vid that ESPN released not that long ago.
Vichewy Sb nation uses tv calls. Radio calls should never be put over tv footage imo. Also both niehaus and Musburger, who are both all time greats, blew this call and rambled through it. A great play, and a famous amount of emotion by niehaus as the hometown announcer, but neither call was objectively good at all. At least Musburger’s was a little bit crisper
@@TheLocalLt The Dave Niehaus call was a TV call. While you may be an announcing expert, the the rest of us local yokels the Dave Niehaus call defined a chapter of relationship with the Seattle Mariners. Perhaps play-by-play is less about perfection and more about connection? You a big Joe Buck fan?
Jacob Dobner the niehaus one wasn’t a tv call Mlb doesn’t have local tv in the playoffs, hasn’t since the 80s, were really talking about the difference between a local and a national broadcast. I think on a national CZcams channel like Sb nation it’s good to use the national broadcast. If this reminder was on the Mariners Sb nation instead of the national Sb nation, I would agree with you.
@@verbageddon your final question got me
@@TheLocalLt I sorta get that, but me, a person from San Diego, born, raised, and currently living in, associates The Double more with Niehaus' call than any other person. This is actually the first time I heard the call with this announcer, whoever it is.
Even as a red sox fan this is one. Of my favorite moments of all-time. I love watching Griffey hustling around third with Musberger announcing. When Griffey is trounced by his teammates and I see his huge smile I get goosebumps. This is what baseball is all about. Hustling and having fun.
Occidental Savage oh yeah. And bonus that it’s against the Yankees.
Now, let's see one of the Rangers vs Blue Jays 7th inning marathon on 2015.
Who else came here after watching Jon Bois' Seattle Mariners series?
it was beautiful. I’m an mariners fan now.
@NO PATS JIM ofc the Cubs fan says that
Didn’t even use the Dave Niehaus call smh SBN
As a Mariners fan it's certainly fun to look back on this season but also incredibly sad that this is their trademark moment, a season that didn't even result in a World Series appearance. We're gluttons for punishment.
Better than the embarrassing 2001 season where we wasted a 116 win season.
Its weird now seeing the Yankees pre-clean shave rule.
Arbal3st The rule started in 1973, they’ve always been allowed to have mustaches
No hair below the corner of the mouth....cut those sideburns Mattingly -Mr Burns
Why did they make that rule they're there to play baseball not a fashion show I don't get it
@@Bsfnelz20 because it’s the Yankees and they want to appear clean and “professional”. They’re weird like that.
I am a Seattle-ite, born there and lived there most of my life. I'm a Seahawks fan, a Supersonics fan, but I was born into a family that has always loved the Yankees (and Cubs)... after that strike, in 94, people across the country hated baseball. The replacement players that were used, during the 95 season's spring training, only worked to piss people off more than they had been originally... the Mariners went on this run, in September, that reinvigorated the love of baseball in all the angry fans. *Refuse to Lose* signs peppered the entire Puget Sound region, and that became the cry of every Mariners fan, and by extension, the fans of the mlb! They beat my beloved Yankees, and almost turned that *sodo mojo* into a WS birth...
The 95 season saved major league baseball, and the Seattle Mariners deserve a ton of that credit!
Thanks SB Nation!
Agreed; beginning of that '95 season fans were lashing out at the players, tossing money at them during games, attendance & ratings were way down...but then a couple of things happened to help gradually restore the game: Cal Ripken's 'Iron Man' streak surpassing Lou Gehrig in September, the Cleveland Indians dominating the regular season & reaching the postseason & winning their 1st pennant in over 40 years, the wildcard races which helped keep more teams in contention late in the season...and the Mariners' late season run & memorable playoff series win vs the Yankees that not only captivated fans all over, but saved the franchise and helped pave the way for their new ballpark a few years later. :-)
If you were born in seattle then you have to root for the mariners.. Born in seattle but root for the yanks?... Thats just not right
@@exiled5160 well, when your family comes from New York, on one side, and the other side is from Chicago's North-Side, it only makes sense that something is carried on from one generation, to the next... in my family, that was baseball.
@@ckendall67 I seem to remember there being a huge mistake, when on of the local papers was printing *Refuse to Lose* signs... they ended up being printed as such: *Refuse to Loose*
Am I misremembering that...? If you remember that, or have a clearer memory than I have, would you share what you recall?
Thanks, mate! :-)
@@insertcolorfulmetaphor8520 Yes, I think I remember hearing something about that as well. Some sort of typo or misprint or something to that degree perhaps.
This is basically our World Series.
That Cleveland team we ran into in the 1995 ALCS was just too good. And the losses to the Yankees in 2000 and 2001 were just vaunted chokejobs.
@Harry Engel I agree with your 2001 evaluation but the 2000 yankees were probably the worst of the dynasty teams. Roger Clemens was having a rough postseason/season in general and then all of a sudden, throws a complete game shutout with a lot of swinging strikes. But then again, A-Rod was carrying the mariners pretty hard so you're not entirely wrong.
I remember being in my grandparents house in Lynwood watching this game. I had just turned 5 and was complaining because we would listen to the radio broadcast instead of the TV colour commentary. Years later Daves call still gets me emotional. I was really hoping they would use that call.
Showing love to baseball has been something consistent with this series. Much appreciated
Things might've been different if Mattingly had cut his sideburns
Came for this reference, leaving satisfied.
Goddammit you beat me to that reference. Fair play to ya
Don’t argue with me just do it!!!
@@mjpipkid that's it, you're off the team
I still like him better then Steinbrenner.
Can you do the Jose Bautista Bat Flip Vs The Rangers?
I’d rather wait a couple of years before it happens. The point of rewinder is to remember the great moments in history, but all the stories around it as well. We all remember the narrative only 4 years separated from the moment, so we need to wait a little longer until we need to be refreshed with the stories and events that built up to the flip.
Anton Films they did the jr Smith blunder so you’re wrong
@@antonfilms4023 If that's too recent, then lets get a Rewinder on the "Touch em all, Joe" walk off of '93
@@jordancivic96 agreed, that should have already happened
@@jordancivic96 best. Call. Ever
"Touch em all Joe. You'll never hit a bigger homerun in your life!"
Yes!!!!! Finally. I can't remember how many times I asked for this one.
“The Steal” and Hail Flutie both deserve deep rewinds
The steal definitely
The world needs more Flutie, I agree.
I remember watching this live. What an incredible moment.
The last time this team made the playoffs, the first Halo game was yet to release.
After this season it will be 20 years
@Harry Engel Yeah the longest drought in NBA history was the Braves/Clippers at 15 years and I think technically in the NFL it was Washington at 25 seasons although that was before the AFL/NFL merger. In terms of playoff droughts that started after the merger occurred, Buffalo & Cleveland both had 17 season droughts and BOY were the Browns bad. The longest in the NHL has never been more than 10 seasons.
@Harry Engel What time period are you talking about with regards to the Clippers question?
If you're talking Lob City era when Miami were at the height of their powers, I definitely could have seen them getting to the ECF. Those Pacers & Hawks teams would have been a hell of a challenge for them but I think they could have beaten those teams, I don't think they would have beaten the Heat though. I also think that even holds true through when the Cavs owned the East, I think that Clippers team could and probably would have made the ECF but I just don't think they would have beaten the Cavs.
If you're talking about last season, again I think it's a yes. Hard to say with the bubble conditions but I think they could have beaten any team in the East, even my Heat who I think have been vastly underrated through most of this season because we were so disrupted by injuries and missed Butler for a huge chunk.
I'd love to see the Mariners become a consistent playoff team, the history of the franchise is so interesting and agonising based on how close to greatness they've gotten only for it to dramatically fall apart in a split second.
@Harry Engel That's actually a fair point. It'll be interesting to see if they actually overtake the Clippers in that regard, especially now with the 6-10 place playins for the last 2 playoff spots, which Sacramento could sneak into. They've only got this and next season to save themselves from tying the record so they need to start getting things right fast.
Boy have i got a news for you
Disappointed that you didn't use Dave's call for "The double" it's so iconic
I love this, but why not use the Dave niehaus broadcast? It's so much better and iconic for this double
kstrand2012 Sb nation never uses radio calls
@@TheLocalLt That call is a whole part of the moment though, especially to the history of the Mariners. It's part of what made it special
kstrand2012 yes but this is not targeted at mariners fans. The idea is to rewind us to exactly how we would have seen it. Even in Seattle you would have heard Musburger on abc, unless you were driving or you were the type to mute the tv and put on the radio
@@TheLocalLt Niehaus was always on tv. That's what seattle heard all the time
kstrand2012 during the regular season, not the playoffs. There’s no local tv at all during the playoffs, MLB is not like the NBA/NHL. MLB scrapped that back in the 80s
Such an incredible disservice to not play the Dave Niehaus call of the hit. Definitely the most iconic sports call in Seattle sports history.
bradd12 Sb nation never uses radio calls
@@TheLocalLt Dave Niehaus' call was a TV call.
Atleast i can watch a good Mariners team in the past.
To true
You can play the show too
Just insane. I had just moved to the Pacific Northwest and the cheering in a little tavern as Griffey rounded third was mind-blowing. Just beautiful to witness.
I get goosebumps everytime I watch this double. Thanks for doing this guys. As one of the 19 remaining die hard Mariner fans, it gives me hope for the future.
Thank you, as a Mariner fan this is the greatest moment of my life.
Seth: makes rewinder
Jon: where the heck is Dave niehaus I can do it over my own way
Wow, this brings back memories! I remember this moment vividly. Our whole family almost jumped through the ceiling in celebration! What a great moment in sports!
Do “The Steal” Dave Roberts stealing second in the 04 ALCS game 4
BullShark they already did
Bush Did 9/11 you have a link on that? Can’t find it
Never mind they havent
Bush Did 9/11 I couldn’t find it I checked
That would be pointless because the climax would be a stolen base lmao
BullShark Stfu!
My buddy and I were at this game. It's something I will never forget. I remember standing on and jumping up and down in our seats. Once in a lifetime experience.
"If you want to know what the Mariners have been up to, here's an episode of collapse"
And that's all that needs to be said about that.
How are you not gonna use the MY OH MY call :(
You should do Man City vs QPR - Ageuro’s 93rd minute goal is an epic moment in sports history with a fantastic story line to go along with it. Really deserves a deep rewind in my opinion
I remember exactly where i was as a little 8 year old kid while watching this hit. One of my all time favorite sports moments ever. I still get chills watching this. Thanks for the great video!
You missed putting in the Niehaus audio for the double. Just as iconic to the city and team as the actual play.
You had me at Jack McDowell’s handlebar at 4:17
THANK YOU!!!! I was watching this play a day ago. Greatest moment in Mariners history.
I'm a huge fan of the content here! Such good production quality!
As a Houston fan I have a couple of items on my SB Nation wish-list that I would love to see.
First is a Collapse of the mid-2000's Astros that went from (almost) back to back WS appearances to trash within a couple of years. (yes they had a successful rebuild but the dark times were practically pitch black)
Second was a rewind of a legendary game. It was November 2012 Texans Jags. Andre Johnson combined with Justin Blackmon (of all people) to have the most combined receiving yards in a game between opposing recievers. Dre finished with 273 yards and caught the game winning TD in Ot 43-37. (this was also the first time the new OT rules at the time had affected a game IIRC). While it wasn't necessarily the most crucial moment in the NFL that game felt like it had a lot of weight to it. A fleeting, old dre trying to prove that he still had it against a blacklisted young gun.
There could also be a rewind of Albert Pujols' walk-off vs the stros in the ALCS in 2004 (to this day I can still feel the pain of that moment)
anyways, those are just some things I''d like to see. keep up the good work though!
This was an awesome episode. Great way of capturing the hit that saved baseball in Seattle.
I believe Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run for the Super Nintendo (the sequel to the game mentioned in this excellent video) is the only video game to ever be named after one specific historic play.
It feels appropriate now to rewind and relive this legendary moment from a time the mariners had just as much playoff-less, gut-punch history to break through. GoMs!
Happy Retirement 'King' Felix Hernandez. Seattle loves you. Sorry you never got to play in a playoff game in your entire career in Seattle but you served the city well.
I was there as a kid up in the nosebleeds, and the noise was like nothing I’ve never heard in my life. Thank you for rekindling the memory
Beautiful. I was 9 years old. I remember every play from every game that postseason. Been a die hard Mariners fan ever since. I'll never give up on this franchise.
Rewatching this just enhances my belief that part 2 and 3 of the Dorktown Mariners series is so, so great.
They take this video and give you all the details, all the drama, and there is 80 minutes to get more and more invested.
I've been waiting SO LONG for this. I was 2 weeks old and my mom made my dad take me to the game if he wanted to go. I don't remember it but it shaped my love for baseball and the Mariners all the same.
Edit: The Neihaus audio would have made this video so much better. Cmon SB Nation you should know this.
I didn’t know who won this game at the start and the narrative kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! Great video!
Amazing how this singular play might have literally saved MLB baseball in the city of Seattle
I’ve binge watched most of these!!! Amazing content, keep them comin!!!
Such a classic team. And Edgar is so underrated.
Took ten tries. It should not have taken ten tries.
Gawd-Damned, that double maybe got five feet off the ground! Talk about hard hit. And, as a Mariner fan from way back, I remember going nuts watching this in a bar. Every Mariner fan loves Edgar. Thanks for a great rewinder, that was fun.
My dad was born in 1942 and grew up in the Bronx about 2 blocks from The Stadium. From the time he was 5 until he was 16, they appeared in 10 World Series and won 8 of those. I was born in 1984. My childhood Yankees were less successful, to say the least. I don't remember if I watched this game or listened to it on the radio, as was my father's habit, but this double marked the precise moment when I pondered to my young self if it was time to jump ship from my father's Yankees in favor of my mother's Mets. Thank you for this poignant reminder of the darkest moment in my lifetime of New York fandom.
still get goosebumps and butterflies every time I hear “welcome to a moment in history” 🥺🥺
Phenomenal video. Thanks from a life-long M's fan who saw this live
This was a defining moment of my youth. Thank you.
As a SF Giants fan, I am so happy that the Mariners stayed in Seattle (and other moments that saves a franchise's residency). It is/could/would be so heartbreaking for a city to lose a baseball team.
I Love these video's. Thank you for your time. ♥♥♥
Always love watching Griffey rounding 3rd heading home siding and scoring sending the Yankees home for 1995...
How do you not use the call from Dave Niehaus? One of the most iconic baseball calls of all time.
Evan Longoria’s legendary walk off home run to send the rays to the postseason
Trent Wilkes I guess us Boston fans can deal with the pain as tradeoff for being so spoiled this century
Oh man, I get misty-eyed just thinking about this one. Great video, thank you!
THANK YOU!!!!! been asking for this for MONTHS!!! you guys ROCK!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEDGAAAAAAR!
Should have included the Dave Niehaus call. In my opinion, one of the greatest radio calls in sports history.
Very unfortunate the call by Dave Niehaus wasn’t used at the end 😭 RIP
Thanks for more M’s stuff! I was watching the highlights for the last game of the season again since I had nothing else to watch
Btw 13:26 is pure goosebumps even though I’ve seen this a million times
This was one of the best playoff series in any sport ever. The game featured here wasn’t even the best game of the series! Game 2 might be the most roller coaster game of baseball I have ever seen, 15 innings with Mattingly’s home run and Jim Leyritz’ walk-off being the highlights
This one is awesome! Thanks guys!
Y’all should also do the 2007 NL Wild Card Tiebreaker. And another hockey one like Patty Kane’s goal in 2010 or Stephane Matteau’s goal in 1994.
Edgar and Randy were my favorite players to watch during this time...this team was amazing
Thanks for reminding everyone in Seattle that the Mariners have the longest drought in ALL of the major sports as the season ends.
That call from Dave. Should have used it in video. Goosebumps.
My Oh My- Macklemore. Best music video/song ever for a Mariners fan!
Very emotional video because I loved Edgar and how time flies. Game feels different now. All sports feel different now.
Not the baseball rewinder i was expecting, but the baseball rewinder i never knew i needed
Please do Joe Crede's walk-off hit in game two of the 2005 ALCS. Great moment, turning point in series, AJ's "dropped third" strike. Show the White Sox some love!
There was nothing like being in this city during that run, 24 years ago. From 13 games back to the ALCS.. The one game playoff v. the Angels. Offices were closed at game time. Where I worked we'd start at 4 am so we could get the full 8 hours in by noon to be home to watch the afternoon games.
It was electric. Nobody talked about anything else. And then this moment.. The Double. We all know where we were when we watched it happen live, and to this day everytime I hear Dave's playcalling my eyes mist up.
A dozen years ago, when he was working the night shift at a General Electric factory in San Juan, Edgar never could have imagined this moment. He doesn’t even need a hit to tie the game. With the speedy Cora at third, any outfield fly should do just fine. And even with one out, they still have Junior on base.
For Ken Griffey Jr., to score the run that ends the New York Yankees season, well, that’s the role of moment he’s been waiting on for 12 years.
And the opportunity to call a moment of this magnitude is something Dave Niehaus has waited for since the very beginning, nearly 20 years ago.
This moment belongs to these three men.
Thank You SB Nation, you did it again!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Potentially the best episode yet. Now do the 2007 Rockies and the beginning of Rocktober.
These are just so well done.
One of my favorite baseball memories of all time. I'm not a Mariners fan but I hate the Yankees so much that this moment felt like my team had won the World Series.
I still say please take a look at "The Miracle of Istanbul" of 2005. I know soccer isn't really that big a thing on this channel, but that was a game of drama.
Or do one of the final race of the '07 and/or '08 formula one season. Both going down to the wire and to the very last lap to find a champion. Loads of stories there, too.
Meh. I wouldn't say 05 champions league final that was quite dramatic enough unless you were really invested... besides, it's Liverpool. Not exactly some rare feat for them to do well in europe. Also, might I add that Man City's last second win of the league was featured recently in this series.
As for F1... that's hard to really show with this format. John Cleland "going for first" against Soper in 1992 btcc though? That would be worth it here...
Well, AC Milan could be featured in a "Collapse" episode, too
@@Dingosean Well, it had a lot of back and forth, and it featured a then relative underdog win, so it could fit the format. I thought it could be interesting to see SB Nation's take on it. And there has been a couple of soccer videos (Beckham's screamer of a free kick comes to mind as well), but you have to at lest admit that it's in a relative minority compared to other sports. Not unusual given that SB Nation is mainly about the major US sports, but still.
I will however agree that F1 is tricky to do in the Rewind format. That it very much is. I'd still like to give them the suggestion, though, because those deciders both have late drama and interesting backstories, which is common in Rewind as well. I agree with you, tricky to pull off, but I'd sure like to see them try, hence the suggestion.
I don't know exactly of the event you're referring to as a suggestion, but I am sure it probably is a good suggestion as well.
Or 2012 f1 season, 2008 was the craziest ending to a season and it will live on
2008 is the one that's definitely best suited to the series' format; it has the 'moment in history' (Hamilton passing Glock), a whole ream of backstory (spygate, crashgate, belgium penalty, canada pit lane crash, etc.), and the impending 'last chance' feeling (the major rule changes all but assuring 2009 is going to be mediocre at best)
2007 and 2012, while dramatic, don't have all of those nearly as much
There's a Macklemore song about this moment. Great vid as always fellas.
Listening to macklemore is an L
wrongo.
The whole time I was waiting to see whether yall would use the Niehaus call and you blew it! Going to watch that 20 times in a row to make up for it.
So glad you made this
I was 7 years old when I met Ken Griffey Jr. Nicest. Guy. Ever. He put my Mariners hat on my head backwards and said, "that's how I like to wear it." I was too panicked to say anything back, so his wife (fiance at the time I think?) thanked me and a few other kids for being fans. Then they drove off in what I remember being a red Ferrari (or at least some kinda sports car). It took about 5 seconds to give a group of dorky kids a childhood memory they'll never forget.
I try to tell that story as often as possible. When kids meet their hero, it's a rare and special moment. He was pretty much exactly how I expected him to be, and sadly that's not always the case. To me, Griffey is the greatest player ever, and it'd take a LOT to convince me otherwise.
As a 9 year old watching this back in 95’, this would be the first time sports ever made me cry..... It pains me still to watch this although the yanks would end up dominating the next half of the 90’s...
You guy got the wrong clip of the Griffey catch that led to his injury. Similar play but it’s obviously the wrong one as Briley wasn’t around in ‘95 and those are the older uniforms
Haven't watched this yet, I have to prepare myself for the waterfall of tears of happiness and joy from my childhood. 🙈😍
I once spoke to Gerald Williams who was playing LF for the Yankees in that inning. When Edgar Martinez came up to bat he checked with Yankees bench whether he should shade towards the line. He was told to stay put l, and soon after, Edgar roped a line drive down the line.
Probably by Buck Showalter, who is a moron.
