What an amazing season. This might be one, if not, THE most memorable one ever. With so many milestones crossed, so many legends hitting or doing THE most clutch hits/home runs/strikeouts/defensive plays, it's hard to argue that.
Miggy, Judge, and Pujols all hitting those milestones in the same season is pretty special.
Yeah that's why they fed them juiced balls
Is it any wonder that that specialty would seep into the postseason: the first extended postseason. We had the record broken for the longest 0-1 postseason game twice. One of those games featured Seattle, who finally made their first postseason appearance in over two decades. Then to cap off the season, the WS had the most perfect game to ever be called by an umpire, JV’s first WS win, and a no-hitter! All resulting in Dusty Baker getting that ever elusive ring he’s been desperately striving to get.
M’s playoff drought ending was top 10
3-2 count, 2 outs, and a moonshot at home to end the longest playoff drought in American sports. The things dreams are made out of.
Greatest season of MLB in a while, and with my Phillies winning the NL made it all the better.
To get smoked like a Philly by the stros the best team in the mf league 😭😭😭😭
couldn't win the world series though 😉
@@saltboy4206 can’t win em all🤷🏼♂️ stros had more depth, but the Phils had no business smacking the Braves and padres the way they did. Also their comeback against the cardinals was iconic. Jeans hit past the second baseman almost made me cry.
@@lonniesmith7580 fr im an Astros fan. Yall did great this year definitely surprised a lot of people
@@achicken4531 chad Astros fan
And wainwright and molina will never be matched again
Its quite an accomplishment but never say never.
Grayson Rodriguez and Adley Rutschman
With the way the game is played today it won’t. It was a magical life growing up and watching them. From the time they won the ws in 06 to the time they retired. There was no battery like waino and yadi. So iconic and so STL. Old franchise with a tradition.
Don't say never. More than likely they won't though.
😢
So blessed I was at The Stadium when Judge hit #60. Many people missed it cuz they left early. Thats why you stay till the end. What a game. Best sporting event I've ever been to.
We need more sports fans like that guy! 9:27
PUJOLS!!! My favourite all time player. Fitting that 700 is number 1.
Harper's go-ahead HR is great but no way it beats Yordan's WS blast. It was an electric, 3 run, 450ft, go-ahead home run to win the World Series. On top of that, no stadium beats the Juicebox's atmosphere or volume in big momemts like that.
#4 will always be my favorite of all time. I was at that game and it was just unbelievable.
Look at the mariners man.. so inspirational
No 7th inning comeback to knock the dodgers out of the playoffs? Only the most important moment in Padres history. MLB as always hates the Padres
2022 can go up there with some of the greatest seasons of mlb baseball of all time, so many milestones for so many players and teams! So hyped for 2023 and I really hope the Stores can go back to back!!
How is Jake’s go ahead single against the dodgers in game 4 not on here? Crazy
That should be here, but they just make it longer cuz Juan Sotos stolen base should go along with that 🤣
Cause it was against the Dodgers? Haha.
It's not in here, and somehow Harper's home run to win the NLCS is more iconic than Alvarez's to win the WS (a bigger achievement).
Imagine making the NLCS, and not registering a single "iconic" moment for the entire season. Like- for example- the, (apparently under-rated), moment of defeating a 111-game-winning team by 3 games to 1 in the NLDS, after losing every series against them in the regular season).
Also: how is Judge's outfield catch rated higher than Eli White's? Answer: NYY.
cuz mlb don’t like the padres 💀
Such a great season of baseball. Can't wait for 2023
They really acted like Aaron judge made one of the best catches ever😂😂😂
bro for real the meat riding was real
Bro he robbed Otahni
@@KevinJGamezdoesn’t make it as good as they thought
@@Jonathan-np3lv I ge your point the catch is mid , but you don’t get it. the moment, the players involved in the play is way bigger than the catch itself . Judge robbing ohtani, both battling the mvp race. That’s what make it an iconic moment
@@KevinJGamezit’s not iconic lmao
The amount of Padres highlights this year is insane and yet once again they get overlooked and left out…Machado’s 5 for 5 game, Alfaro having a record walkoff hits (I believe 5 or 6), Croneworth’s important hr in the playoffs, the Pads finally slaying the Dragon (Dodgers) just to name a few.
Hyped and ready for this next season. 2022 was a fantastic year for baseball as shown in the video and another year to come in 2023.
No one’s going to be able to sleep in the Padres this year tho, they’ve only gotten better and more highlights will be made. Let’s gooooooo
Looks like they left out NL west totally
@@repulse_ I saw a CJ Cron home run and that was it
Sitting pretty in 4th place lol
@@UglycrisPadres are proof you can't buy a championship unless you spend your money on the right players.
Harper home run is a core memory
Facts
And yordon’s ;)
@@Xayled Who?
@@Xayled *Yordan, cmon now
I was at one of the D-Backs games when the Cardinals were here in town and the announcer said "Albert Pujols"...I was like, "wait...WHAT!?" Didn't even know he was still playing! He hit a homerun. I wasn't even mad. lol
Lol
Albert Pujols 700th Career Home Run ⚾ Was The Best Moment In MLB History.
MLB try not to forget the Padres exist challenge (impossible edition)
Come on, man, Drury's first pitch grand slam as a Padre and Cronenworth's comeback capping single in game 4 vs the dodgers both could fit somewhere on this list.
I’m thinking the same thing about the giants. Like we had a down year but Yaz’s walk off grand slam and Jocs 3 HR game no where to be found… but let’s do 6 Astros highlights….
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I got through the entire video and musgrove’s game against the Mets in the playoffs wasn’t on there..
I thought the Mariners were gonna be snubbed, but nope, Padres got absolutely forgotten 🤣
14:06 No. 18. Shohei Ohtani Makes History in Houston (12 SO; perfect thru 5.1 IP; 1st pitcher to have 2 PA in a game before throwing a pitch) 🤯
I felt that there are other iconic moments from Ohtani that should've made the list, like his 8RBI + 13 Strikeout back to back games.
Yep. Cardinals fan here wishing Shohei were ours. The 13 Ks and 8 rbi games. Back to back. GOAT.
And 10wins and 30 home runs on the list??where is it?
@@user-oh7ir8sh4j🤷♂️...wish I was there for that 30th HR.
Pujols was the best moment
Im so happy to see my Mariners on here multiple times! I was actually at the 18 inning Mariners v Astros game, the only game i went to the entire season. Both teams played phenomenonally, im just sad that the Mariners weren't able to take the game. But the Astros deserved it just as much for how well played the entire game was
Cal Raleighs walkoff home run to send Seattle to the playoffs shouldve been higher
underrated comment
The Summer of Pujols was friggen baseball magic!!! Wasnt doing much for a while and then start clobbering homers left and right to reach 700! He had the country eating out of the palm of his hands.
The Grissom bay flip was crazy
Imo, Cabrera should be a little higher. He joined Willie Mays and Hank Aaron as the only players in history with 500 HRs, 3,000 hits, and a career average above .300
12:40 this made me laugh out loud. Buxton is a great player, but he is not even close to being "The best player in Major League Baseball." 😂
I actually spit out my water when he said that. Dude isn't even top 20 or 25 lmao
@@sawmill035 Fr
If this doesn't get you hyped for spring training, nothing will.
Pujols quest for 700 was a whole lot of fun to watch.
most memorable part of this year is always gonna be Alvarez blasting that moonshot over center field. Best moment of my life being a houston fan
8:08. Stop it. He jumped for a fly ball at the warning track.
That was def short
To me my favorite moment was the Mets go to Atlanta and only need 1 game to basically win the division and end up getting swept. One of the commentators quoted “if you come for the kings you better not miss”
Not a single pro padres sd vs la or sd v Mets scene. Padres are criminally underrated
THANK YOU! Thank you so much for using the KMOX call for Albert’s 700 in this video! That’s how it should have been. The call by BSMW announcers at Busch Stadium but Apple took it away from Cards and Baseball fans.
Yordan is a BEAST
That mccormick catch broke all of philly hearts 😢
One of the best seasons I’ve gotten to watch!
I haven’t started but something of Julio needs to be here
I haven’t started either, but Adley needs to be here somewhere too
@@marshallnaylor5110 neither were😭
Minus the Mariners-Braves game where Julio hit the game tying home run but nothing else besides that
@@marshallnaylor5110 why Adley tho? What was iconic about the season that Adley did?
@@SorokingProd30 the triple in his first game
@@SorokingProd30 he set the rookie record for doubles for an oriole
2022, those numbers I will never forget because the Phillies made it to the world series and I predicted it after Thomson took over as manager. I was called all kinds of names but when the Phillies made it, I wept.
Albert Pujols hit his 700th homerun 2 days before my birthday
Seeing the blue jays fan hand the ball off to a young Yankees fan that was just homered by judge is what baseball is all about. George Carlin described baseball perfectly when comparing football and baseball 😂 if you haven’t seen that I highly recommend watching, as you’ll never get a better description of the two 🤓
Judge Is Awesome With His Fans!!
How is Ohtani's 8 RBI game not on here? Daylight robbery.
Because Angels lost that game ...
@@fmt0htm How is that relevant to the individual merit?
@@fmt0htm It's called most iconic moment. I would argue that Ohtani making a historic individual effort while his team loses is absolutely iconic Angels baseball.
They have a few people hitting HRs on their first major league AB but there was a Padre called up for one game and he hit a Grand Slam on his first AB after 9 years in the minors. How did that not make it?
Tim Anderson shutting up Yankee fans was the best baseball moment of the year for me.
criminal to not include olson and riley going back to back in the biggest regular season series of the season and in quite some time.
How Harpers HR is higher on this list compared to Yordan’s WS winning home run is beyond me. Great season though.
Because everyone and their mother expected the Astros to win. Nothing was expected of the Phillies, and that swing was the culmination of a decade of frustration and a dramatic regular season and postseason. On top of that, the individual game differences are notable. The Astros were at home in game 6 with their pitching lined up such that they should have had zero trouble closing the Phils out, and the Phils were already demoralized by games 4 and 5 which tore the hearts out our chests. If the Astros had found a way to lose the series after that, that would have been up there with some of the worst choke jobs in MLB history.
On the other hand, the Phillies were at home in game 5, but if they lost that game, the Padres had their pitching lined up for games 6 and 7 at home. The Phillies had been basically unbeatable at home that postseason, and the Padres fans were just as hungry as Philly fans to win a pennant. In the top of the 8th, many fans of the Phillies (myself included) were very mad that the umpires allowed the game to continue during a torrential downpour that caused the normally accurate Seranthony Dominguez to throw wild pitch after wild pitch, which directly led to the Padres tying, then taking the lead. It felt like the start of a massive collapse.
Next, let's talk about Harper. The guy has been called overrated for years now. Even his 2021 MVP award wasn't enough. The haters moved on to "he's a loser" because the Nationals won the WS the year after he left. That is a blemish on his resume that will be hard to shake, which is so, so unfair to him because honestly the Nationals choke jobs when he was there were really not his fault. This all builds up to the moment when Harper has one of the all time greatest at bats against Robert Suarez, fouling off 98 off the plate, and taking a straight-up nasty change up 3 inches below the zone. He got just one pitch to hit, and he didn't miss it. In a fraction of a second, the mood of all Philly fans went from "Oh my gosh, we're going to lose the series because the umps wouldn't stop the game" to jubilation. It was the perfect climax the Phillies (and Harper's) underdog story arc, even if they couldn't quite close the deal in the WS.
That is why Harper's home run was higher on the list.
2022 was awesome, let's go 2023! thank god for baseball
Pujol’s spot is deserved
Judge and Pujols stick out the most. Miggys 3k too.
Harpers face 😂😂 16:53
#27...he didn't rob him of anything, was at least a foot from the wall.
Tough yeah for Philly fans 😂
steven crushing his final homer is emotional
List does not contain Austin Nola recording the only postseason hit in history off their sibling.
List is invalid.
True but I could understand if someone defended MLB and say it’s hard to do this
Alvarez was possessed!
Man I love baseball
Timmy Trumpet playing live for Edwin Diaz's entrance in NY should have been on this list. It was the best thing that happened in a non-baseball play this decade
what a season.. greatest sport on the planet
I honestly love the juxtapostition of Gary and Kruk at number 12.
Vogt with that run wow wow woww ❤
I was at the 325 game…. That was awesome
The script writers really outdid themselves for this season
Why Ohtani's first-ever 10 wins and 30 home runs aren't on the list
What is certain is that only Ohtani's name will be spoken of 100 years from now.
Other players are like shooting stars.
I was there when judge hit 50. Very memorable moment
I’ll forever love the Vogt final at bat
how can you not love baseball
12:40 no way the announcer just said he was the best player in mlb
The Mariners ending the longest postseason drought in all major league sports with a walkoff at home, only at #15, is just plain disrespectful..
it never ceases to amaze me how woefully empty that Oakland stadium is
My brother was at the Molina and wainwright record game
Naylor was my favorite moment, dude was hilarious
padres nlds game 4 got robbed again of a spot in a countdown
Harper's hit being ahead of Yordan's is nasty work

@@sawmill035 we gon have to disagree then 🤝🏾
Vaughn Grissom bat flip hard
Javier's no hitter against the Yankees. It has to be on here.
No it doesn’t
@@SorokingProd30 why, because he did it to your team, come on get real. He threw another one in the world series. 2 no hitters in one year speaks for itself.
Javier threw 2 no hitters in 2022 (not complete no hitters) Verlander also threw 2 no hitters (not complete no hitters) Let’s Go Astros!!!
How is the 7th inning Padres comeback vs LA in the NLDS not on this list?
No Padres highlights at all, funny enough there's none for Dodgers too
2023 here we come
Absolutely Basenite Returns
surprised there wasn't any more cardinals highlights in here... I at least expected the final home game ceremony where Pujols and Yadi did their speeches to be there
Not mlb trying to sneak in judge catching an easy flyball for a man built 7 foot tall 😂
I never noticed the kid jumping over the rail on judge's 62nd till now lmao
Loved how MLB didn't censor out Naylor LOL.
I want all the smoke! I'm that 🤬🤬🤣
Nothing about Spencer Strider's 16K game? Come on now.
Let’s Go Astros!!! I miss he defense and pitching, can’t wait til next year, Go Stros!!!
Fun year for Cleveland.
Fun to watch them too.
that tim anderson moment was not that big of a deal
The Royals had a 9-run comeback against the Mariners scoring 11-runs in one inning and couldn’t break into the list, but Aaron Judge fake robbing a HR comes in at #27.
Thank god he plays for NY so every routine play makes the highlights.
Walking into Yankee stadium on a Sunday game as they’re already down 3-0 and in the bottom of the first as we’re sitting down Judge smashes a homer to left. Normal thing to watch history as you’re getting in your seat
Vogt homer has to be higher. That was incredible.
This was amazing and awesome to remember last season as so historical but how do you forget Kershaw breaking the dodger strikeout record
Albert hitting 700 home runs will be a very long time before any will come anywhere close
Steven Vogt one made me cry 😢
12:06 he probably broke a bone on that 😂
How is Rhys Hoskins slamming a bat more iconic then cal Raleigh’s walk off??
Amazing 😍
Moment #7 should be moment #1. It was the greatest moment of my life as the Houston Astros fan.
was one of the best year
Alternate title cardinals Molina and pujols moments
