Chicago Cubs, 1991: Andre Dawson Errupts

[nyloco619]

what's rob dibbles deal?

[vfgjhj]

Holy shit Andre Dawson, the emotion only shows how much he wanted to win.

[Certain]

For everybody talking about that shirt, just wait until it comes back in style. Yall know yall gonna have one. HAHAHA.

[thewizardofaz]

Not just the shirt...the mullet. Oh, the humanity.

[williejenkins666]

Can't they eject that WGN reporter for that god awful shirt?

[ScenicRoadTrip]

I remember watching this game!...I miss those years watching the Hawk in his prime...too bad the Cubbies couldn't produce a winner back then...Dawson & Sandberg deserved better talent around them.

[generalbullmoose]

Joe West. Figures.

[ca194216]

favorite player of all time...the Hawk

[astrosfan339]

I was so happy when "The Hawk" finally made the HOF!!! Growing up he was my idol. Usually a low-key, professional, class act, Dawson had had enough with the strike zone and the mean came out of him!!!! I love it!! How can you not be on Andre's side!!!!?

[Freyja1133]

Rob Dibble always had a few screws lose

[Certain]

@Freyja1133 Thats my favorite part of the video.

[bhawksaddict]

Lmfao Dan Roan's shirt is the best part of this video.

[astrosfan339]

@bhawksaddict he looks like Joey Gladstone from Full House

[totalrandomcrap]

0:43 Oops that's the wrong tape! Then the Max Headroom Pirate pops up on the screen!

[mistergoodear]

This resulted in a one-game suspension and a $1K fine for Dawson. He paid the fine with a check, and on the check memo line wrote "donation to the blind." For that alone he deserved his place in the HOF.

[mistergoodear]

I was at this game. I'll never forget it.

[Catholicdadof4]

cub fans are a disgrace

[zzyzx0788]

@Catholicdadof4 Baby.

[herschie91]

Harry Caray made this ten times more hilarious than it would have been otherwise. Imagine how un-funny Len Kasper would have made this.

[dmendiol]

Back when Cubs baseball was worth watching. Andre Dawson ROCKS! Miss Harry's Classic announcing. That shirt Dan Roan was wearing was in style in the early 1990's. I had a few of those shirts. LOL! Classic WGN TV.

[mpvaclavik]

Dan Roan with hair is just funny.

[hoopsheavenpa]

Joe West make a bad call??? That's so unlike him lol

[magicuno]

Nice mullet, Dan.

[johnnyfive222]

holy crap Atlanta? 12-3? I am sure the Braves would recover and become a great Dynasty in the 90's, i am sure they will recover from that. Say fifteen division titles in a row? Yeah i think they recovered.

[user98xp]

YES YES

MERCY

[bigb1716]

Andre Dawson is an embassador of the game of baseball, and did not deserve to be thrown out of the game. Dawson was right, Joe West could have been less arrogant, and more professional in handling a argument with a player. I don't blame the Hawk for throwing the bats on the field. 

[Archangel101576]

Rob Dibble had the funkiest windup I've ever seen, but he could sure strike guys out.

[liberalinthedesertaz]

@Archangel101576 and he was so wild he might have just fucking missed lolz

[callmeclutch34]

Gotta love Joe West

[zzyzx0788]

Oh my god. Did people really wear clothes like that in 1991? I was too young to remember

[patrickdron]

even 20 years ago Joe West was a douche ump.

[gholsong]

I love Harry's old school announcing. Instead of deploring Andre's actions in a modern PC style, he's screaming "And the CROWD LOVES IT!!!" while Dawson's tossing bats out of the dugout.

[iambillschultz]

It's nice to hear Harry's voice.

[cantecleer]

-- I love how soft-spoken The Hawk is during the interview... hard to believe he was throwing bats onto the field just a bit earlier... xD

[jersdream]

LOL @ people supporting a grown man crying about a baseball game.

[RochesterFICS]

I saw this as it happened! I remember it like it was yesterday! I laughed so hard I farted.

[Whodeyman17]

Reds should have won that game by forfeit! 

[MrKriffer]

oh hell! i remember this game! i actually watch this one. boy this brings back some memories. i can't believe this was twenty years ago.

[Ranteal]

LMAO at Dibble. God I miss the days when we didnt have a bunch of fucking boyscouts playing baseball.

[SteveSanders81]

Lou was looking a little skinnier there...

[CoachFabolous11]

ROB DIBBLE IZ DA MOST DIRTIEST PLAYER IN BASEBALL HISTORY SMH!!!

[ALT980]

@CoachFabolous11 That dude was nuts

[23ThePerfectionist23]

im not sure about joe west but i know i wouldnt want any part if andre dawson.

[believeinbeer]

Ron Karkovice might be the ugliest dude in baseball...just sayin'

[halodystroyer44]

oh no, the twins lost to detroit.....i think they'll recover

[fcdrre1]

pitch was low, outside and the call was a very late srike 3. they should have fined joe blow west too. he created the incident

[Freebleeper]

Even though Yankees fans are more horrible than Red Sox fans, you Cubs fans are all over them just because of one idiot... I admit, i'm from Massachusetts, and the accent is pretty ridiculous, not saying that all accents are pretty ridiculous when you think about it... but what's the deal seeing Cubs and Red Sox fans fighting, it sort've makes me sad, and I can imagine Yankees and Cardinals fans laughing about it somewhere... I agree winning isn't everything, but to Yankees fans it is.

[zacatetas]

lol@ ron dibble. he's always been retarded

[blakesavage123]

When I hit one out of Wrigley, I hit it over a Tru-Link fence.

[charlestonchewy]

@blakesavage123 I remember that commercial on WGN,

[BestTits]

holy 90's batman, dan roan has hair and that shirt

[natedogg1835]

nice, the angels won

[TPM75108]

Why can't we trade Joe West for John McSherry. Seriously the decent umpire had to be the one that died.

[butcherboy2008]

Apparently, Joe West has always been a jackass.

[autographhound2468]

@butcherboy2008 ONE OF THE WORST.

[autographhound2468]

@butcherboy2008 I hate how he always challenges umpires and players and when they try to get a piece of him he walks away like a little bitch.

[fjccommish]

@autographhound2468 You think umpires should throw down with managers, coaches and players?

[Mike943905]

@butcherboy2008 yup

[bhawksaddict]

Without a doubt, one of the greatest moments in Cubs history! And by the way, Dan Roan, you're not in Hawaii. Lmfao

[sledhill]

good man andre

[handsomegrackle]

Awesome. The Hawk was and still is a class act. Hell of a baseball guy.

[DoYouReallyWantaKno]

watch the  DoYouReallyWantaKno channel

[DoYouReallyWantaKno]

wgeg

[Nerrt45]

Figures it was Joe West causing chaos. Oh yeah...nice shirt Dan...

By the way...how many games was Dawson suspended for this?

[jackmonk666]

You dumbasses need to die. Quit saying racist comments. Go f yourself. You are a bunch of losers. 

[nlaramie]

lmao - ur right, it is getting too far. hahahaha!

[byro1884]

Eddie and nlaramie, why don't you two fags kiss and make up already?

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

Haha Doug Dacenzo!

[Ellercorupt101]

Joe West has got to be one of the worst Umpires in the history of baseball. Talk about Umpires out of control and not leaving the game. The only way Joe West is giong to leave is just like Larry McSherry.

[TheGameGuysBlog]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

I remember this night and was watching the game live. Thanks for posting this. Dawson in a rare moment of anger. Dan Roan with a shirt that needs to be burned. Jim Essian. A young Lou Piniella. I can even appreciate Joey Cora driving in Ron Karkovice with the game-winning run. Classic.

[buckeyeschmave]

@TheGameGuysBlog I remember watching the game and in the other my dad was watching the Reds TV feed. He went nuts when Dawson did, then didn't say a thing when Dibble threw at Dascenzo! Definitely one of the more memorable moments from watching the Cubs as a kid!

[wow13d]

Nice hair Roan! LMAO

[Jadakase]

I remember watching this game with my homeboy Lee when i was 9 years old. We were cracking up.

[philandjoelle]

Roan is currently the sports director at WGN

[uhhhuhyeah]

i remember being at this game as a kid, just plain awesome. congrats to hawk. well deserved.

[Brian211978]

He's giving his HOF speech as i type this!

[Deltoid71]

The way the story goes, Dawson was fined $50k for this and when he was making out the check, on the memo line he wrote "Donation For The Blind"!

They fined him again for that!!

[NakedReporta]

Does Dave Couiler know that Dan Roan steals from his wardrobe? He outta know.

[TheGameGuysBlog]

@NakedReporta Well Played. LOL!

[jdub3028]

@NakedReporta Cut...It...Out...

[DlSCONNECTED]

@NakedReporta Cut it out!

[speedyspooley]

@NakedReporta

Come on....cut...it...out.

[iambillschultz]

@NakedReporta I dig the Alanis Morissette reference.

[Grapes428]

@NakedReporta I'm sure Dave knew Dan Roan stole his haircut.

[Grapes428]

Joe West doesn't make too many good calls. He's tossed a lot of players in his career and he's also tossed some guys just because he doesn't like them. Players like Dawson have the temper tantrums because they know the game and are real players. Dawson got in the Hall of Fame, so Joe West can shove it.

[NYVoice]

That pitch WAS a ball (at 50 seconds).

[mrzonk23]

Dan Roan was classic. What ever happened to him? Ever since the Cubs starting playing all night games and the DBacks arrived, I rarely watch Cubs games. He could still be working for WGN for all I know. I need to Google him!

[mlweiland]

@mrzonk23 Dan Roan is still on WGN. He's their sports director. And he's updated his wardrobe and hairstyle compared to this 1991 video. :-)

[Brian211978]

so is that lady in the studio!

[charlestonchewy]

@mrzonk23 He's still with WGN. He has like 3 strands of hair left on top of his head.

[metop33]

@charlestonchewy Yeah but besides his hair, he still looks the same. He's aging well :)

[Daydreamer3173]

Amazing. <3

[toomuchhutch]

is that Joey Gladstone from Full House?

[citykid33]

what kind of shirt is that?

[chgojoearchivist]

The Hawk, Awesome Dawson! Thanks for sharing!!!

[hoopsheavenpa]

Joe West made a bad call? That never happens...lol

[WeAreTheEpic]

Gotta love Brennaman.... This bit is timeless Marty!

[MNsportsnut]

Of course Joe West behind the plate. Some things never change.

[TheMarlinsFan]

@MNsportsnut hahahaha spot on spot on

[MaximumPower01]

Dibble was so mad he threw the ball right at Dascenzo's legs in frustration.....LOL....Guy is not stable!

[deltapunk21]

nasty bunch

[Catholicdadof4]

I agree with Marty Brenanman, Cubs fans are obnoxious.

[1976chrisc]

I was actually there and got drenched in Budweiser.

[hoosierlooker]

Joey Cora, the Jockey!!

[keirs12]

19 years later joe west is still at it

[fat4jc]

Is the guy reporting from Wrigley Joey Gladstone from Full House?

[willyt7]

Will somebody please post the Eric Show beatdown!!!

[themansguidetolove]

@willyt7 It's posted. Just search Dawson, Eric Show, fight, brawl, etc. It's part of a larger compilation.

[Illpol1]

I watched this game live! I remember it. Pretty cool video

[thpd197]

Andre the "Hawk" they don't make players like him anymore that's for sure. Go Cubs!

[kyokogodai]

Andre was right on the money. Not a strke. Gotta love that passion, from Andre. The fans, on the other hand. Well, still a whole lot better than Red Sox fans! Go Cubs!

[uret7]

@kyokogodai Cubs passion pales in comparison to the sox. Although I can understand their desparation.

[EddieNeverSleeps]

@kyokogodai The Red Sox have won 2 World Series since 2004. What have the cubs won?

[kyokogodai]

@EddieNeverSleeps Absolutely nothing. They haven't even been in a WS, since 1945 (when the Detroit Tigers beat them in 7 games). But do remember, that it was 87 years between that win in '04 and the one prior to it, for the RS. Now been 102 years for the Cubs. Both are pretty pathetic.

[nlaramie]

@EddieNeverSleeps the Cubs have won the right to bend your mom over on a nightly basis and run train on that cunt.

[EddieNeverSleeps]

@nlaramie cubs suck. 102 years without a title. Most pathetic in all sports

[nlaramie]

@EddieNeverSleeps either you are from Boston or just another FAIRWEATHER FAN. Either way, Boston fans and their annoying accents are the most pathetic in all of sports.

[EddieNeverSleeps]

@nlaramie Boston has won 7 World Series titles since 1908. cubs have ZERO

[nlaramie]

@EddieNeverSleeps and what does that get you? NOTHING

[EddieNeverSleeps]

@nlaramie Joy, happiness and good times. Something u know nothing about

[nlaramie]

@EddieNeverSleeps unlike you I find plenty of happiness and good times outside of just sports. Every summer in the Chi is full of happiness and great times.

[EddieNeverSleeps]

@nlaramie You fail kid. I am way happier than you. My woman is hot, I make good money, and I'm pretty good athlete. You lose just like your team.

[nlaramie]

@EddieNeverSleeps LMFAO!! There is no way for you to determine that, guy. Your description sounds like myself, but I'll add that I have a wonderful son who is almost a year old, and I own two houses. FTW

[EddieNeverSleeps]

@nlaramie Your son is gonna turn out to be a sissy just like you.

I have enough money to buy another house, but I'm looking to invest in an apartment building instead.

[nlaramie]

@EddieNeverSleeps my son is only 9 months old but can already beat the shit out of Boston douche bags such as yourself.

[EddieNeverSleeps]

@nlaramie he won't be able to kick anyone's ass nor will he ever amount to anything in life. He is shit just like you.

[nlaramie]

@EddieNeverSleeps Andre Dawson OWNS BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suck his big black CAHK (*douchey boston accent*)

[EddieNeverSleeps]

@nlaramie you're a nigger? HAHAHA!! You already lost.

[47TheSteve]

@EddieNeverSleeps "Nigger?" You represent Boston? The hell you do!

It kills me how people can be racist without ever having met a person based on color alone. According that logic we should despise those with different color hair, shirts, pants, cars and eyes as well. It is a color issue, correct? We should also deplore the foods we've never tasted, cars we've never driven, women we've never dated, etc because it's a question of hating everything & everyone we don't know as well correct?

[EddieNeverSleeps]

@47TheSteve I don't hate him because he's black. I don't even hate him. His stupidity merely amuses me. He's a nigger because he's a stupid black person. If he were just black but not stupid, then he wouldn't be a nigger. But he's a moron.

[mrmojow]

@EddieNeverSleeps You're an idiot to even say something like that about one of the classiest players to ever play, shut your fucking pie hole and show respect to one of the few non-steroid users in the game, you fucking tool!

[47TheSteve]

@nlaramie Ouch! Now that's just not nice dude. *snort*

I'm from Bahston and there's a relatively good chance I could gnaw through most people's genealogical lineages by myself and yet I somehow think you're a funny guy in spite of you because it's all about the belly chuckin for me. Geography does not a man make or break.

Would the son be proud of dad for acting like a 9 month old himself?<--rhetorical. Can he type as well? But more importantly, what brand of tequila does junior prefer?
