People don't realize how big this moment was. The biggest moment in mariners' history, best team in mariners' history, called by the greatest sportscaster in MLB history. This right here is true gold. Even the mariners winning a world series would not beat this moment right here.
Hello, I'm from Finland and I would like to know what Niehaus means by saying: "they're going to wave him in!" Is it like the other Seattle players show Junior that he will make it before the ball gets to catchers glove? Could someone tell me? Thanks. :)
@Nikoduurius Since Junior probably shouldn't be looking at the ball when he's rounding third, they have a Third base coach, who gives the players (Junior) signals when on second, third and/ or rounding third. You do have the other half right, But instead of the players waving him in it was the third base coach "saying" that he could beat the ball to the plate. (The players could be in the dugout signaling him that he could make it, but be really only looks at the third base coach). :)
Born in 86' I grew up in the 1990's watching MLB, sad to know now in 2011 that all those years I was so passionate about the sport the whole thing was fraudulent on behalf of the players using drugs. Jr. was definitely not abusing steroids and IMO he was the most exciting player I ever saw (best swing?) and he did all that without abusing steroids.
@dukedub Yeah, Jr had the sweetest swing I, personally, have ever seen. A swing so technically sound, and considering he is 6'3" and a naturally powerful man, he could hit homers like slicing butter...
The Greatest Moment in My Sporting Fan life...It stills gives me chills and brings a Grin to my Face! Such a great call too by Dave.We Miss you Dave...RIP
I still don't understand. How in the world did Griffey score from 1st base all the way to home in that hit? The guy had absolutely inhuman speed which must've been possessed in some way. No human can run like that.
i'm here cuz i'm just a baseball fan and junior was my favorite player as a little leaguer. I remember watching this as a young kid and it was one of the best finishes to a playoff game I ever saw. Hated the yankees so I was rootin for seattle. Side note, this was donnie baseball's final game of his amazing career. (giants fan perspective)
My dad pulled my brother and i out of school to drive from spokane to seattle to watch the elimination game against the angels. My family somehow went to game 4 and game 5. this is the greatest memory of my childhood. it's one of four times that I ever saw my dad cry
God I miss Dave.... I was there for this game. I was in the second grade. My dad pulled my brother and I out of school to drive across the state (we live in spokane) for the one game playoff against the Angels. We had tickets to game 4 and game 5. To this day, I rank that game has one of the best moments of my life. It's one of the only times in my life I've ever seen my dad cry.

I have a scar from hitting my head on the bottom of my loft bed because of this while watching it in my dorm room in college. I was istting on my couch and jumped up off of my couch in excitement and nailed myself, needed 7 stitches. But NOT until I ran down the hall and taunted my buddies from New York :)
Too young to remember but the Yankees are the best! Sign people with 100 million contracts and still manage to not win the World Series year after year!
Watching this almost brings tears to your eyes.. What a wonderful era of Mariners baseball. Hearing Dave's voice reminds me of warm summer evenings sitting on the back patio at grandparents house, having a bbq listening to the ball game. With the pine trees and wind chimes blowing in the soft breeze, it was always complete with Dave's voice in the background.
RIP Dave, you will be especially missed this coming season.
I blame Osama Bin Laden for the Mariners not having a World Series. We were on fire in 01'. 116 wins, great players, incredible season. But when the 9-11 attacks happened and baseball stopped for a bit, we just lost our momentum. Baseball is a game of rhythm and staying hot, especially going into the post-season. Also, management keeping Griffey through the 2001 season would have helped.
We'll win the big one someday. This city needs it.
Even if the mariners would have kept griffey through 2001, the Yankees still would have won. I don't think it was bin laden's fault. The m's ran out of gas in the 2001 A.L.C.S.
If the m's are going to win a W.S., they would have to stop trading good players like cliff lee.
umm, the Yankees didn't win the World Series in 2001...Also, Cliff Lee is irrelevant to the Mariners. He would have left at the end of the season anyway. But you are right, we need to start investing in good players. Lou Pinella would have taken us to a World Series if management would have listened to him. For many seasons, all he asked for was one more good bat, and they never gave it to him. So he left. A damn shame.
Because we had to drop Lee anyway, and the other teams, and anyone following the trade knew that. We could not pay for him the following year, and so anyone could have gotten him as a FA in the offseason.
@carlinrulez666 Well the 2001 mariners were arguably the best team assemble in the past 50 years and in game 3 before the visted ground zero they won 14-3 and they lost game to a walkoff home run. Also people around the mariners say that they had regained the magic in game 3 but it was gone after they visited ground zero. Probably the only time in history America was rooting for the Yankees because they were the underdog and it finally got to them.
In the regular season, yes. But the 1998 Yankees were better even though they won 114 games and a World Title. But the 1961 Yankees were the best team in the past 50 years. m's ran out of gas, and couldn't win when they needed to the most.
@carlinrulez666 I was upset in 2004 but at least I saw them win 4 times. This was before any of that happened. The Yanks weren't that good then started to get better in 93 ( 2nd place). I was then crushed in 94 with the strike just like expo fans. Then this happened.
I was crushed in '94 as well. I was only 8 at the time. The 2004 collapse would be the worst thing as a Yankee fan that I have seen. I saw the 1995 A.L.D.S. as a 9 year old, and seeing the Yankees lose to Seattle, broke my heart. Well, at least we got revenge against them in '96, when Dwight Gooden no-hit them. A Yankees-Mariners rivalry started in '95, when Jim Leyritz was hit by a pitch by Randy Johnson. He actually challenged Johnson to a fight.
Griffey Jr. also said that he would never play for the Yankees, for how they treated his dad, when Sr. was a Yankee. There is also a story that Billy Martin, former Yankee manager, would chase Jr. as a kid, out of the clubhouse, since he didn't think kids should be there. There was also a near bench clearing brawl between the two teams at Yankee Stadium in '96, and in the Kingdome in Seattle, Paul O'Neill got into it with john marzano. However, I will always go for the Yankees.
@carlinrulez666 Yes the O'Neill brawl with the catcher was insane. And the Leyritz walk off HR in game 2 of this series put them up 2-0. I remember JR saying he would never be a Yankee also. I actually have a 1995 AL Wild card hat in very good condition. Wore it to game 1 at the Stadium.
Nice that you still have the cap. As far as Griffey goes, the Yankees never needed him. Leyritz was clutch for the Yankees during his time with the team. Bob Costas said that they, "Could put him in a resort in the spring and summer, as long as he comes back in October." Personally, I think Leyritz could fuck up Randy Johnson in a fight.
In addition to Gooden's no-hitter in 1996, which was one of the best no-hitter's that I've seen, we also got revenge against them in 2000 and 2001. I remember in game 4 of the 2000 A.L.C.S. when Roger Clemens struck out 15, allowed one hit, and threw inside to A-Rod. The following season, the Mariners won 116 games, and they still couldn't get past the Yankees.
Im not a Mariner fan, but this gives me chills when I watch it, what a great moment, and it contains my favortie player (Ken Griffey Jr.), only a shame he never got to go to a world series :(, and if wasn't for injuries he'd have 700+ homeruns
Thank you for posting this, MartinsMaine. Capturing this moment with Neihaus' play-by-play (vs. ABC's play-by-play) is what it's all about. Will never forget this moment in Mariners history. RIP, Dave.
The moment in Mariner history that Dave will be most remembered by, despite his colorful commentary throughout his career. I imagine he is now sitting in the broadcaster booth in the sky telling the tale of 1995 season to whoever is tuned in.
Damned shame the Mariners couldn't get past the Indians. Had the Mariners ownership done everything it could to have re-signed Griffey, Johnson and Rodriguez instead of letting them go, and had that idiot GM Woody Woodward gone out and gotten a decent closer instead of running Bobby "Lame Ass" Ayala out there to blow save after save every night, the story of the Seattle Mariners would have been completely different.
@rayjr62 Yeah man the next year losing Tino Martinez , Jeff Nelson and Sojo to the Yankees changed both teams fate... Mariners ownership really let us down.... 96 Yanks won it all and Seattle didn't even make the playoffs... YOU keep a player like Tino Martinez and a solid pitcher like Jeff Nelson... STUPID STUPID move by Mariners ownership....
