Same !! The OG Dodger squad
Sick squad
@@themouse6539 not a sick squad per se but sick individual talents. That squad had sick individual talents but the squad couldn’t put it together to make a sick squad as they should have been.
Excelente equipo
N don’t leave out Dave Roberts 😂
What a chad! No bat flips. No slow trot around the bases while watching the ball. No ridiculous pointing to the sky when crossing home plate. True professional.
Right!? I miss humility. Green was the man.
I actually remember watching this game when I was like 10 or 11. They were in Milwaukee. I watched it KCAL Channel 9. Where every game started with Vin Scully going “It’s time for Dodger Baseball…”
Love Vin!
Yeah, I am pretty sure Ross Porter (the other Dodger announcer at the time) called that game on KCAL 9. Pretty sure, because I also watched it live.
@@BaseballQuotes1 Same! I remember hearing him talk about players having beards for an entire inning. I loved every word of it. Haha...
Underrated player for sure. Great swing and totally unpretentious too.
Had he played in another (read: cleaner) era he might've been a perennial MVP and Hall of Famer.
Great comment! I agree 100 percent! He was wiry and strong, had a great swing and had to compete with those artificial cheaters!
He was my favorite player when he was a Dodger.
I remember hearing the game on the radio between stops at my work. (I was a courier at the time and would listen when driving from one stop to the next.) When the opposition's home crowd gives you a standing ovation, you did something very very special.
I remember watching that game, just amazing.
I knew it was coming from the title, but damn if I still didn’t get chills when he hit that last home run.
an absolutely insane day at the plate. can only imagine what it's like to be that locked in
I remember this. If I'm not mistaken in the next game he hit 2 homeruns and the game after that, another homerun. 7 homers in 3 games. So impressive.
that's correct! if you include the two he hit during the first game of the Milwaukee series, then he hit nine in just five days
@@BaseballQuotes1 definitely an insane week for him at the plate.
@@BaseballQuotes1 9 homers in a 5 game stretch has gotta be a record. He may have had the best week in MLB history. Would take a hell of a lot of research to figure out though.
@@BaseballQuotes1 I just discovered tour channel and subbed. I'm looking forward to binge watching some of your videos.
@@unkledoda420 thanks! hope youi enjoy!
I very much enjoyed. Great job as always!
Appreciate you! Thanks for watching
Reading Stillness is the key brought me here
As a giants fan this really bums me out but huge respect for Shawn Green and his career
I'm a Dodger fan but Will Clark Juan Marichal and Willie Mays are some of my heroes (I'm a 90s baby as well)
Great video and really good narration🙌🙌
Excellent video. Thank you. One correction: the major league record for hits in a game is seven. Rennie Stennett went seven for seven against the Cubs in 1975.
Maybe the best offensive MLB game, but the best offensive baseball game in history is Marshall MacDougal for Florida State against Maryland. 7 for 7 with 6 HRs and a single. He had 16 RBI and 25 total bases in just one game. Incredibly the wind was blowing in the entire game. He made it to MLB with the Rangers but suffered a wrist injury that forced him out of baseball.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Were did you get some of those Dodger clips?
which ones?
@@BaseballQuotes1 the ones with the Giants and braves
@@rocknrallsoul94rockero4 there area bunch of old games scattered on youtube. Just have to know where to look!
Can someone please forward a link to this video to Belli...
Great video! He was a complete player and played the game the right way. He still holds the Dodgers franchise record of 49 home runs in a season! After he left the Dodgers and signed with Arizona (I think the Dodgers did not want to resign him) he was always booed by the Dodger fans when he returned to Dodger Stadium. I never could understand that! He was a great player for them, the team did not make him an offer and he was always a classy and unselfish player! Perhaps someone can explain the reason or are Dodgers fans just plain stupid?
Maybe they really are God's chosen people.
He should had 20 RBIS if not for a ugly line up that cant get on
"Steroid Era" Hahaha... So funny how these kids who weren't even alive during the so called "Steroid Era" jump on the propaganda bandwagon.
It’s called the steroid era lol also It was only like 20 years ago most people who call it that where alive than
