Film is from the game of Thursday July 22, 1971.Mets would win 5-1 as Tom Seaver pitched a complete game, striking out 10 and walking none.The only Cub run came in the third inning on a home run by catcher Chris Cannizzaro #43.He can be seen rounding the bases in the film.Joe Pepitone is seen str...

Pitcher warming up for the Mets is actually #41 Tom Seaver.This film is from the game of Thursday July 22, 1971.Mets would win 5-1 and Seaver would pitch a complete game striking out 10 and walking none.Cubs only run would come on a 3rd inning homer by catcher Chris Cannizzaro #43.The homer can b...

Back when Mike worked with the Dog, I used to love it when Russo would go on vacation because I thought Francesa did a much better show alone.But since Mad Dog left for good, it seems to me that Mike comes across as much more arrogant.Still, his show can be great at times,especially when he has s...

Thank you for posting another treasure.It is so cool to hear Jane Jarvis playing the Irish Jig as Tug McGraw warms up.That really brings back memories of old Shea.

@rowdymax1 The 'little monkey" remark was actually made about Alvin Garrett in 1983

May 11, 1976.Game delayed by rain 37 minutes in the 2nd inning.NY scored 2 in 8th to take 3-1 lead.One run came when Piniella squeezed home Munson.Tigers would rally for 3 in 9th to win 4-3.All the runs came off Figueroa who completed the game.Yanks bullpen was rested since they'd had an off day ...

@Coastergeekperson04 Nah!! I"m just a nut who enjoys finding clips like this and figuring when they happenned.I've learned that just prior to this Mays' AB, someone called NYPD claiming there was a bomb in one of the Shea dugouts.Both teams emptied out onto the field and play was delayed 10 mi...

By matching the lineups with out of town games this would have been Wednesday Sept 2, 1964.SF would win 4-0 on a Juan Marichal 4 hitter.He would strike out 9 and walk 0.In the 8th inning Duke Snider would pinch hit for Willie Mays.

We arrived in time to see Cincy take BP.I have a vivid memory of George Foster(having a 52HR & 149 RBI, MVP year) stepping into the cage.As I recall he took 6 swings,hitting one ball off the wall and sending the other 5 out of the park,one of which bounced off the roof of that shack-like structur...

In researching this I was surprised to find that,despite the "new' Stadium and the Yanks heading to their 1st pennant in 12 years,they were struggling to get 20,000 people a game.Even two September games with Bosox couldn't draw a COMBINED 50,000.Amazingly, it was the lowly Tigers who drew 52,000...

P.S. Just remembered that this would be the last regular season game managed by Gil Hodges before his fatal heart attack the next spring.Also, Nolan Ryan was spending his last night in a Met uniform.

R.I.P. Gil Clancy.

I was 12 when this fight took place at the Nassau Coliseum and have some memories from it.One is of the Bicentennial themed tv ads featuring Frazier & Foreman in founding father's wigs.Also Dick Young of the Daily News writing that Foreman threw a right and Frazier's bridgework landed either in h...
