  • Thank you so much for posting this. In May of 1985, I was two months shy of my 8th birthday. I was just falling in love with the Yankees and I actually remember watching this with my brother. Cool hearing Bill White's voice. Too bad Rizzuto wasn't on the air for this. At the moment of this HR, he was either on the radio side or on the GW Bridge. You have any other WPIX clips from those years?

  • @sportsfanatic77 I've come across hours of WPIX clips from Yankees games in 1986 and 1987 that I will start posting within the next few days.

    I am glad you enjoyed the game. Like you, I remember watching it as a kid. It's probably the game that cemented by fondness for Mattingly.

  • Look at those empty seats!! so much for the "greatest fans in the world:...they were probably at Shea Stadium with Billy Crystal..

  • @blking928 In 1985, the Yankees drew 2.2 million fans and ranked 4th in the American League. Also, that was a Monday night game in May, so with school in session, crowds were light. In the 1980s, attendance wasn't anywhere near close to the levels now.

  • Davis was a Yankee from 79-81 and did very well as a set up man. He relied mainly on a fastball with somewhat of a sidearm motion. With the Twins he saved plenty of games but blew about 10 per year. His pitches were simply too fat. The novelty of the delivery wore off after 1981.

  • Awesome!!!...I was at this game...Miss the old stadium....GREAT MEMORIES!!!

  • Mattingly in his prime - amazing!!

  • @dzanier It's amazing that both the Mets and Yankees won 98 games in 1985 and neither made the playoffs. Both were DAMM great teams that year.

  • @golfmaniac007 You couldn't hit a beach ball off a batting tee, let alone a 94-MPH fastball.

  • Joe Cowley?? Lol man this brings back memories. This team was really good. Check Rickey's numbers from this season he was out of this world good (he had a 10 WAR!!!). Unfortunately Toronto was just always a little bit better.

  • that pitch was right down the pipe with no movement. i think i could of hit a homerun on that pitch.

  • It was one of the best teams to not make the playoffs, just like you said. George and Billy fucked them up at the end.
