- Complete ESPN broadcast of the 1993 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby, which was held at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore. This was the very first year that ESPN broadcast the Home Run Derby as its own program, though it was only 30 minutes (including commercials), and an epic overtime battle between Ken Griffey Jr. and Juan Gonzalez forced ESPN to skip over the at-bats of a few participants. This broadcast includes Ken Griffey Jr.'s legendary blast that hit the warehouse beyond the right field fence at Camden Yards.
Juan Gonzalez’s batting stance is a thing of beauty.
I met Juan Igor Gonzalez at a baseball card show ( yes I have a lot of his cards ) with my brother in Cherr Hill NJ in I think 1993-1994? He was autographing anything & everything. What a cool guy. 1 month b4 the show I bought 1 of his bats so I took it with me for him to autograph. My brother snapped a great pic while he autographed my bat and I asked him ( in Spanish ) can we pose for a pic for my brother who was waiting 25 feet away? He said sure absolutely, he turned a little to the side smiled and snap, great pic. In Spanish I said thanks blessings to U always, he said hey thanks, have a great day & save that bat. I still have it with the pic. Again JG was a cool guy
Juan “Igor” González numbers are out of this world. From ‘91 to ‘01 no one has more RBIs than him. An absolute monster.
I agree hehe was Awesome 👊🏼💪🏽👍🏼⚾️🙏🏼
This guy had 101 RBI's by the time the All Star game was played!!! (1998)
Juan “Igor” Gonzalez!! Que caballete!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🔥🔥🔥
Mi papa jugaba con el de pequeño 🤯, tengo bolas firmadas de el
@Jome Ruz te refieres a Bobby Bonds?
How great were the 90's? The best of times...
Here after igor interview. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
as usual Griffey was the star but Igor did his thing
Desde PR y my pueblo no habla de este caballete
Igor, una bestia, saludos desde RD!
🇵🇷🇩🇴
Igor did have good seasons hitting over 40 dingers between 1992 and 98 winning the American League Home Run Championship two straight years and he also won the American League MVP award in 1996 and 98 while hitting 47 and 45 homers
Youngest player to win back to back HR Titles in Baseball History.
Nice! This is the earliest of a HR Derby I've found with at least this much footage and not just highlights! Desperately need 2002-2004 on here, can't find........'95-'01 I've already watched, in full. 2005-2008 are on here, plus many of the more recent ones. Thank you . Cool to see a young Prince Fielder, who would eventually make the majors and hit the same number of home runs (319) as Cecil did.

IGOR GONZÁLEZ 💪🏽🔥🔥🔥
Que emoción volver a ver esto, que buen ambiente, que buena época. Juan Igor González uno de mis peloteros favoritos, gran profesional, tu pueblo te ama, somos muchos los que no nos olvidamos de ti y reconocemos tu trayectoria. Yo tenía 12 años, cuando ese derby, coleccionaba tarjetas y una de las más valiosas para mi era la de Igor. Hace unos días Igor fue seleccionado dirigente del año en el baseball doble A en P.R. el tiene una visión del baseball tremenda. Felicidades querido Igor👏👏👏🏆💪
Todavia tienes Las cartas ?
@@MARHVINXII hola, ya no están conmigo, las tarjetas las heredé a un familiar.
@@MARHVINXIIyo tengo unas cuantas si te interesan firmadas por Juan
90's sluggers, man.
Steroids or not, I loved watching these guys mash.
Griffey (the best player of all time, wanna fight about it?), Juan Gonzalez, Albert Belle, Frank Thomas, Mo Vaughn, Sammy Sosa, Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Gary Sheffield, Jeff Bagwell.....could go on forever
Agreed. This was my childhood as well and baseball was a big deal. People are so self-righteous and they forget how much fun they had watching these games. Some of the best sluggers ever.
@@SantosSaysMedia Abdolutely.
You could argue that steroids saved the league.
Baseball was in serious trouble after the 1994 strike.....huge trouble.
Fans were pissed and not packing stadiums as they had in the past.
Fans began getting back in to the game when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa started flirting with 60 HRs, and by the time McGwire had broken Roger Marris' record in 1998, the league was back in full swing (in most markets).
Having said that, I don't condone the use of PED's, but they likely played a huge role in the recovery of the league.
Sure. Willie Mays is the best ever!
Let's debate brother!
Mays let the league 4 consecutive years in Stolen Bases, plus still manage to hit 660 Home Runs while missing two years of baseball due to the Korean War!
came here for juan gonzalez. there was no reason for this dude to use steroids, great swing , could have been a hall of famer
I don't know if you recall the last season before he was sent to Detroit (I believe) he came from the off season so bulked up, he looked like 40-50 pounds heavier. He was so huge it was ludicrous. Anyway, he was so stiff, the stuck out a lot and his average dropped. I think he also got hurt which is ironic because steroids are supposed to heal quicker. He ended up missing quite a few games. Then, he went to Detroit, lost all that muscle weight and had a rebound. Pretty good season despite how much he hated being there. So, in his case, steroids clearly hurt his numbers, rather than help.
It's really sad that, when he came back to Texas, he was almost persona non-grata. I was in the game where he tore his calf muscle (if I remember correctly) running towards first base, and the team didn't believe the seriousness of his injuries. So much so, that the team doctors were fired after the end of the season, supposedly for siding with Juan rather than with the team. That was basically the beginning of the end for his career.
Agreed. Won a pair of MVP's and his career batting average .295 is impressive for a clean up hitter.
He bulked up in 1994, when he didnt play well at all, injured a lot as well, slimmed back down in 1995, also he went to detroit in 2000, in 1999 he batted .326 and had 39 Home Runs.
He probably used for a much shorter time (if he used at all). If he had REALLY used, his career would have been much longer (see Palmeiro). This dude was mashing more than 40 HR's a year when he was rail thin. McGwire and Bonds as well. Just natural monsters.
@@JesusSanchez-iq1ww Well said
To this day I think Juan Gone is the only person to reach that left field upper deck at Camden yards. Hard to tell watching this footage but if you’ve been to Camden yards and sat out there you realize how impressive that is. The left field upper deck sits 75 to 100 feet deeper than the lower level in left.
17:29 YOUNG Prince Fielder!
🇵🇷Boxing and baseball kings!!!
Estate quieto!!!, QUE SE MOLESTAN LOS "HATERS" , Boricua Mio!🇵🇷
damn 473ft hr that's crazy
bruh this style of homerun derby is way better than the new style. you actually get to watch the balls go out and where they land and listen to the crowd roar and get worked up. with the new homerun derby it's timed and so while one ball is still in the air they switch back to the batter so they can show him trying to hit the next ball. you don't even get to enjoy the homeruns. the announcers start losing track of how many homeruns are hit & stuff it's wack. sure you get to see the stat track at the end where they all landed or whatever but it's not the same as watching the homeruns fly into the upper decks when someone hits a bomb. like i wanna see people spilling their beers jumping for a homer and little girls who brought their glove catch one, etc...
I remember Juan Gonzalez mostly because in 1990 I bought the Donruss baseball cards and he had the error card that showed him batting one direction then the other lol....
Weird hearing Mike Patrick calling a baseball event! He was great on Sunday night football!
At least Joe Morgan is still there !
What a great group there
90s was the best decade of every sports ever literally, from boxing, NHL, NFL, MLB,NBA, track, even the olimpics we saw the best athletes ever and they all faced each other no avoiding or not wanting to play of fight each other for "money" "or been scared to fail" like we see now, even the wwe was better and they had wcw too 🤣

Camera work was not good.....but......it was nice to hear the low key announcing instead of the loudmouth, self-serving Herman Berman.
17:30 - Prince Fielder!
Cecil is a big ass dude
Camera work sucks
terrible broadcast, skipping half the players at bats
You can use steroids but if you can’t hit the ball is worthless !👎🏽🤦🏽♂️
I didn't care about babe Ruth drinking beer before games,and I didn't care about what those players were inyecting themselves with steroids,baseball was more fun to watch,more all stars players,I know baseball is losing with those many laws and how they playing.
8th annual
19:22
Igor bestial!
Lo
A
Bring back steroids baseball boring af without them
Barry Bonds before steroids
Was thinking the same.
Ah, of course he's here. Juan Gonzalez, the double MVP thief. Flashy numbers for a flashy individual. One who wasn't even the best player on the Rangers in *any* of the years he played for them.
