- here is a link to the original TV broadcast complete with original NBC audio. • World Series Game 4 v.2 many thanks to Jessica Roth for sharing it. Game 4 Reconstruction of the 1969 World Series. Tom Seaver vs Mike Cuellar
The game video of NBC's broadcast was nearly complete but lacked audio for the first 9 innings, only the 5th inning is missing.
for the 5th inning I added Cleon Jones' diving catch of a Davey Johnson fly ball, taken from the official highlight film.
no other video source was available.
for the audio, i synced the radio broadcast of the game to the NBC footage. i had to edit practically every pitch.
The radio Broadcast was truncated so there are some gaps in the audio, but nothing significant, I filled the gaps with crowd noise.
the pregame show features Sandy Koufax and Mickey Mantle with Jim Simpson but also lacks audio. i left it intact rather than cutting it because it is better than nothing.
the original broadcast audio featuring Lindsey Nelson and Curt Gowdy picks up with the end of the 9th inning.
with this game, all 5 games of the '69 series can be found on youtube. i thought i'd never find games 1, 2 and 4.
Dude if I had an ass I'd give it to ya
Remember GAME # 2 IS in BLACK & White some of the old NBC Films are in B& W alas GAME # 4 of the 1968 World Series between the Cardinals & Tigers at Tiger Stadium is in Color NBC Technicolor as they called it but GAME # 7 at Old Busch Stadium is in Black and white. Mickey Lolich's BRILLIANT CG 4-1 WIN!!!!!
Thanks really loved watching this, hadn’t seen it since 69.
Weis was out of position, and Powell grounded a single to the right putting men on first and third. Swobota's great miracle catch saved two runs, and the rest is history.
Chief injustice scumbag Earl Warren ! JFK !
RIP to the greatest pitcher I ever saw. He was a class act his entire life.
I agree! I was fortunate to grow up in NYC to watch Seaver-who NEVER should have been traded in the first place!
Seaver was the best I loved him
Thank you for putting this together! I was at game 4 as a teenager, with my 4 best friends, all of us Mets fanatics. Most exciting event I have ever attended! I still have the program, and got Nancy Seaver’s autograph in the ladies room in the middle of the game. 😂 Thanks again.
Seaver had one of the greatest seasons in baseball history 25and7 never will forget the 69 Mets
As were the ‘69 Mets, this videos along with your patched together audio is AMAZIN’! Last night I watched game 3. Our family had just moved from L.I. To NC just 6 weeks prior to the Mets 1st appearance in the Fall classic and my older brother Roy worshipped Tom Seaver like he was a God! My brother passed away in November 2017 and left a collection of Mets jerseys, hats and warmup jackets that was bigger than that of former Mets. During our childhood in Nassau County my Uncle Alan took us to many Mets games where we got to see Hall of Famers like Lou Brock, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and Bob Gibson. One of my favorite scenes from the ‘69 series is Davey Johnson as an Oriole having NO IDEA that17 years later he would be managing the Mets in their 2nd World Series in 1986- which the Mets would also win. I’m glad I was around to enjoy those Amazing Mets for so many years. Great job on the video!
Sorry about the lost of your brother. my brother was in the hospital dying from cancer during the '86 World Series that game 6 was so emotional for me i started crying after Hernandez made the second out, thinking my brother wouldn't live to see the Mets win the world series, when that ball went through Buckner's legs, well it will be with me for a lifetime my brother passed away two weeks later John Franco attended my brothers wake.
Thanks ever so much for this upload!
Despite pitching a whale of a game, Tom Terrific was running out of gas by the 9th and Gil Hodges surely left him in too long, something you would never see nowadays. The Mets were fortunate that Elrod Hendrick's 9th inning two-run shot into the right field stands was just foul. And letting Seaver pitch in the 10th to Don Buford, who had homered and doubled off Tom in the opener, was certainly rolling the dice. Buford flew to the warning track with two runners on. And without Ron Swoboda's circus catch in the 9th (the next day Mickey Mantle said it was the greatest catch he had ever seen), the Orioles would have scored two runs and possibly turned the Series momentum around. To me, this was the most inspiring, electrifying win the New York Mets ever had, other than Game 6 of the 1986 WS against Boston.
As I write this, it's only been a week since the Seaver family announced that Tom will make no more public appearances due to his dementia. How awful for it to happen in this, the 50th anniversary of that miraculous Mets team. Tom Seaver wasn't just the greatest Met of all, he was one of the most articulate, emotionally available, and charismatic baseball players ever. And now the rest is silence. This has played out like a Greek tragedy.
that is such a shame to hear. he has always been my favorite ball player. i was crushed when the Mets traded him in '77 and i was angry when they left him unprotected in '83. i've tried to find as many Seaver games as i can, i think it's terrible there aren't more games on youtube featuring him. posting games 1 and 4 of the '69 series and game 1 of the '73 NLCS i think more than doubled the amount of games with him on youtube. i am still trying to find his '73 WS starts. here is an interview i read of him not too long ago, it's from 2013, i had no idea he was ill until i read it....... he always been a class act.........unlike Dick Young. www.sportsonearth.com/article/64585192/ it's a really good read.
T.R. Ryan It is a shame that dementia continues to be a terrible reality for so many (Seaver’s roommate Bud Harrelson also has it) 😢
One of the amazing things about the Mets' pitching in this series, and how Gil Hodges used his pitching staff, was that his ace reliever, Tug McGraw, never appeared in the series, and in fact, only appeared in one of the team's eight post-season games (Game 2 of the NLCS, in which he got the save). Hodges seemed to rely on gut instincts and took chances when his pitchers got into jams, almost every one of which payed off, thanks in no part to his outfield defense. For instance, in Game 3, he kept Nolan Ryan in to finish, even when he got in trouble in the ninth, instead of using McGraw in that spot. And it can be argued that he could (and maybe should) have gone with McGraw in this game when Tom Seaver got into late inning jams, but again, stuck with who was on the mound and his risk payed off.
Tom Seaver was something special and the Mets were lucky to get him. He was the horse on that staff and all the pitchers looked up to him. Nolan Ryan gave Tom a nice thank you for being his mentor and teaching him how to be a professional ball player. I was at the "black cat" game against the Cubs. Seaver hit a double off the wall. I was lucky to witness one of the Mets most famous games.
We love you Tom Seaver!!
Sorry, I nodded off. You were saying ?
What a pleasure!!!! The straight forward announcing..not trying to overwhelm us with analysis, statistics or any modern annoyance. Just the game..all we want is the game!
And not hearing or seeing the phrase DOT COM every 30 seconds.
Also, the announcer isn't yelling at his audience AND using the phrase "unbelievable" to describe the most routine of plays
My 23 year old son finds it hard to believe the O's, Reds, and Pirates were powerhouses back then.
This Orioles team was a monster.
My goodness, that Oriole Lineup during the introductions, incredible, filled with legends
Rest In Peace Tom Seaver 1944-2020
Oh I remember this very well, l have been a Mets fan since 62, lived close enough to walk to Shea, saw many a game there, here is the lowdown on this Mets lineup. Agee was a terrific center fielder and could not only steal but hit 20 homers as a lead off man. Very uncommon in the 60’s, Harrelson was another glove, in those days he was an average hitter but the number 2 hitter back then was more of a sacrifice man and somebody who could get a runner over when needed. They played for one run at a time in those days, Cleon was a very good hitter, especially that year, he never equaled that season but played on for several more with the Mets. Clendenon was the unsung hero of this team, came over from Pittsburgh at the trading deadline and that’s when the Mets became a true contender. Swoboda had come up in 66 and was a fan favorite, in fact I was in the right field stands on opening day when they got Rusty Staub and the guy sitting next to me razzed Staub all game calling him Swoboda, , and we were close enough for Rusty to hear him , that was Rustys welcome to NY. Ed Charles was a real gift that year, he hit over 300 and always in the clutch, good glove as well, Grote was, I believe the best defensive catcher in baseball at the time, knew how to call a game, heads up all the time and another clutch hitter. Al Weiss was the wildcard, playing for Boswell , I guess Gil liked him but man did he come through in this series. And of course the immortal Gil Hodges, if you don’t know Gil Hodges you are not a baseball fan, long time Brooklyn Dodger, veteran Marine, gentleman through and through. Boy do I miss this team. Let’s Go Mets. God Bless Tom Seaver.
Thank you for posting this. This is by far the sharpest video of the 1969 World Series. It appears to be a first generation recording. I wish the other games of the same quality.
Thanks for the hard work of putting this game together. It is much appreciated.
Birds catcher should have taken the bunt. He was facing first and with a better angle to reach first. Pitcher and catcher should have discussed this possibly before Martin was pitched to, especially knowing the bunt was going up first...and this was the manager’s job to facilitate this discussion. who was surely in the dugout tunnel after earlier being thrown out of the game. Hodges outmanaged Weaver this series. Mets pitching and pitch-coaching from Rube Walker was too strong for anyone that year, with enough decent hitting, disciplined play, and a great Manager who taught his players how to focus and think as an Amazin team.
I was thinking the same thing about Hendricks fielding the ball instead of Richert. But being that Richert was a lefthander and Elrod a rightie, Pete had a better angle to make the throw. In the end, though, it was moot as Martin ran inside the baseline and should have been out anyway.
My dad and I were there that day. Still have the pennant in my son's room.
i was there too, w/ my dad. 9 years old.
I call BS. Post proof
@@joeambrose3260 I say you are an idiot
You almost feel like you're there. Ghosts and time travel - who says they don't exist?
In NY back then whenever a game got rained out, Channel Nine would show the Mets 69 series. Miss the 70s
Was at this game. Swoboda's catch was totally not possible. Greatest catch of all time.
Was your brother there too
I have been watching baseball for over 50 years and I never saw such an incredible catch. Given the importance of the game, I must agree with you.
Totally agree
Amazin
Great work piecing this together. This was a great game!
Eddie Watt never went more then 3 innings, so he's the "short man" in the pen. Had to laugh when he said that considering how times have changed.
Hard to believe that this was 50 years ago....I became a baseball fan in 1971 and thought that 1969 was a long time ago back then. It's even longer now but when you are 7 years old 2 years seems like an eternity
Blah blah blah
I remember all of this as though it were yesterday.
Grow up already
I was just looking up the hitting statistics of the late Frank Robinson, and I surprisingly discovered that this man won every major award that an everyday game player can win in major league baseball. Additionally, he won an MVP award in the NL, and an MVP award in the A.L.
he's a legend. among the greatest hitters of all time.
I think the Reds traded him to the Orioles because he wanted more money and Reds didn't want to pony up.
No shit, Sherlock
I believe I would watch this just to hear Jane Jarvis play the organ.
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C Jane Jarvis would have been a good fit with Manchester U. Try Nancy Faust.
Soccer sucks
@M i would rather watch paint dry with the 70 million others
Glad to see this back on CZcams. Remember watching these games as a kid.
you did a helluva job amigo.
Thank you for putting this together. Awesome to watch! Great pitchers duel, this game. Cuellar vs Seaver,
RIP Tom Seaver! The greatest Met of all time!
Seaver really pitched a good game here. He had a good fastball and a breaking ball. Good control also.
I enjoy the commercials as well as the game. A real trip back in time!
My father's family is from Schenectady, so hearing this audio is neat because it is what they listened to during the World Series that year.
Watch Tom work. Throw a pitch, get back on the rubber, get the sign, throw another pitch. Also take a look at the batters. They stay in the batter's box between pitches. This is the way baseball should be played. Games done in 2 hours on average. MLB has to institute some new rules to speed up play. How the hell can they not see the need for this?
Major League Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn was only 42 going on 43, Orioles Manager Earl Weaver, 39 and Mets Skipper, Gil Hodges , 45 years of age on the day that this game took place.
They all appear considerably more "mature", shall we say, for their respective ages. Man, when I was 43-44 yrs old , I more resembled an embryo in comparison to these ancient looking , geezers
The Orioles had a great team. But the Mets had the magic
2:37:18 -- WOW. Right after Swoboda's catch, Elrod Hendricks hits a drive into the loge seats TWO FEET outside of the foul pole. The Mets probably would have lost 3-1 in nine innings. The World Series would have been tied, and a Game 6 in Baltimore assured.
2:59:55 -- Thanks to Don Buford playing a no-doubles defense, and his late reaction to the ball, Jerry Grote's fly ball to left falls in for a double despite Mark Belanger's incredible attempt to catch the ball. Boy, it must have been written in the stars for the Mets in October 1969.
Nancy Seaver is beautiful
Swoboda'a catch off Brooks Robinson at 2:35:30
Thank You!
Ron Swoboda earned his pay that day!!!!
$34,000 to be exact, which would be $240,039.07 today. Plus whatever share he got for helping to win the World Series.
Later he became a sports caster on channel 9 NY

RIP Tom Seaver.
That game isn't shit
Paul Blair, Reggie Jackson, Tom Weaver an Nolan Ryan were all Mets. Could you imagine the dynasty possibilities had they built around that core?
LOL, todays teams would have used 7 pitchers by the 10th inning
ray Gordon You're not kidding it's the biggest joke in baseball next to the DH.
Today's teams would have used 700 steroids before the 7th inning
Inkorreckt.
They would use 10 p by the 7th inn.😄
Right.nowdays a 2-1 game lasts 3 hours 20 minutes.....8 pitchers at least
And that is one of the reasons I can’t watch anymore.
Great content.
Cuellar (and Hendricks) weren't happy with the umpire's balls and strikes, just before Clendenon hit his 2nd inning HR, the umpire called a Cuellar breaking ball for a ball, Hendricks hesitated, jestured and Cuellar was shaking his head, next pitch at 3-2 was hit for a homer. Next batter, Grote, same thing, head shaking, looking toward the dugout...Cuellar got him on the strikeout with the next pitch.
Thanks for the game but what's with the first half hour ?? No audio with Sandy & Micky doing the pre game I guess.
after i patched this up with the radio audio, a copy with the original NBC audio including the pregame with Kofax and Mantle surfaced. the link to that video is in the description box.

RIP to the greatest Met of all time
Beating A 109 Win Team Plus That Lineup And Pitching Staff.....Was A Sad Day When "Mr Met" Was Traded
Nancy Seaver went straight to Shea from her audition for an Imperial margarine ad
NBC is not equipped for instant reply capability? No replays here. Strange.
I dont think they even were big on pitch counts like they are today.
No shit, Sherlock
Nice job👍
8:01 Is that the oldest Gatorade commercial to appear on tape on YT? It might be so! Too bad that there is no audio from the commercial, tho.
The same commercial, with audio, is on the other broadcasts, though.
Get a life
At 0:58, that slo mo clip of Tom Seaver is the very first time I've seen 'any' TV or film footage of the 1969 NLCS in Atlanta.
there is a clip of hank aaron hitting a homer and also of the last out somewhere on youtube.
@@sportsrevisited9699 and Garrett and Boswell's homeruns in game 3.
Seaver was getting the outside pitch on every batter.
So weren't the Orioles pitchers...Shag Crawford was very consistent....Ron Swoboda made a catch for the ages....it just wasn't the Orioles year.....but because of this series they kicked ass in 1970..
Back in the vintage years of baseball, it seems they never watered down the infield so as to keep the dust down and the footing better. This infield is embarrassingly dusty. I played on Little League diamonds better manicured than this field. And Joe Namath probably hated the field in the fall time too. Looks hard and not player-friendly soft.
Did the announcer say the warning track was 30 feet long? It was more like 10 or 12 feet wasn't it?
RIP Tom Terrific. 🙏
The name Tom Seaver means pitching. God bless you 41.
Well, dang. I didn't realize that my copy was missing the 5th inning. (I tend to skip to the end.) That's a bummer.
But I do have the NBC audio. I'm sure that everyone else who got the "truck feed" that was circulating a few years ago has it, too.
I wonder if the version shown on MLB Network includes the 5th?
if you have the audio can you please post it? it'd be appreciated.
@@sportsrevisited9699 Voila! czcams.com/video/yprLbKHUiZE/video.html

Awesome! thank you very very much:).....i'll put the link in the description so people can head on over there. thanks again and a big thumbs up to you.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MIX UP? THE ORIOLE BROADCASTER TALKING WHILE WE SEE LINDSAY NELSON WITH NO AUDIO
@2:40:43 - 47: I have to chuckle a bit, the "dangerous Bud Harrelson". his 1969 stats indicates he batted .248 with ZERO home runs and 17 extra base hits - also just 7 career home runs in 16 seasons. IMO a fine ball player still -- but not dangerous offensively as described.
Who'd of thought after all these years they only have 2 ws wins? Could be worse tho. Cubs waited over 100 yrs
Awful ownership, they should have won more in the 80’s but the drug scene ruined them.
HOW ABOUT STREAMING THE ALMOST PERFECT GAME AGAINST THE CUBS IN 1969 AND THE 19 STRIKEOUT PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE SAN DIEGO PADRES IN 1970.
Think you could upload the ryne sandberg game?
i can't promise, but i will try to find it.
Don't try too hard,it's a snoozefest
3:07:45 Tony Kubek interviews Tom Seaver
When J.C. Martin was announced as PH I started to laugh. ❤️
Who turned out da lights?
RIP Tom Seaver
Loved Mick. But he was no Tim McCarver either the insights.
Why is it I can never find all 4 games of the 1963 world series?at least one full game has to exist!!!
I wood love to watch that
radio broadcast? jim simpson?
Yes. Jim Simpson did "World Series Report" on NBC Television, with Sandy Koufax & Mickey Mantle. He called the World Series on radio with Ralph Kiner for games 1& 2, Bill O'Donnell joined Jim for games 3-5.
Absolutely torturous
the audio is way off
only at first, not when the game starts.
Here Seaver's lead foot lands too soon in his delivery: 31:17
aint this game 2?
it's game 9 from the 1896 world series
@@sportsrevisited9699 This is game 4 of the 1969 World Series.

Take a wild guess ,Einstein
unbelievable that JC Martin was not called out for being clearly outside the base line on last play. Horrible non-call. Mets got all of the breaks in this Series.
