The BROADCASTING CONTROVERSY Between ABC and the New York Mets (1988)
On Memorial Day, 1988, the New York Mets were set to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday Night Baseball on ABC. However, after a 34-minute rain delay, ABC did the unthinkable, in a move that made no sense considering the circumstances, and in a move that ticked off just about every Mets fan in New York, and the Mets organization themselves.

Переглядів 3,9 тис.Рік тому
For the final week of the 1999 MLB season, the FOX affiliate in Madison, Wisconsin, WMSN, had two options for games to show. Option one was to pick the battle between the Milwaukee Brewers, the hometown team, and the Cincinnati Reds, who were tied for the division lead in the NL Central and were fighting for a playoff spot.

You've got a runner on 1st and 3rd with no one out, and it's the bottom of the 10th inning in a tied game. Option 1: pitch to the guy who's been the best hitter on the Reds today. Option 2: load up the bases to get the force out at home, and bring up a 6-7-8 order that's been anemic during this game and as of late.

    Some decent pitchers just can't find success in New York: Doyle Alexander, Ed Whitson, and Steve Trout, who pitched back-to-back shutouts with the Cubs in 1987 before being traded to the Yankees and going 0-4 with a 6.60 ERA.

    That was me that missed the ball. If you want to know what happened it was that the ball split the top yellow seam of the padded wall and it hit the rail behind the pad and went back on the field. The reason I was stretching for the ball instead of going to it was that those were stairs going down to the tunnel. I had already fell down those stairs a week before getting a Dave Justice home run. So I didn’t feel like falling down those stairs a second time. I had three television sports news interviews that night a front page news article in Sun Sentinel the next morning and four radio interviews the next day including one with Hank Goldberg and Al Downing. I always thought I would play in the pros but got hurt. So I did get my 15 minutes of fame!!!

    Never heard a word about this, Believe this in 1984 the Tigers were our sports obsession and I'm quite suprised . Denver made some great music, but I could see the Tigers finding a new tune considering the "rival" narrative at the time. But Tigers fans true rival was always the New York Yankees they were the standard you measured your team to then there was everyone else period.

    He was really talented, but 3 things: 1. His own teammate was ahead by 20-25 points in the batting race, so it was not all that close. He was not winning the batting title on his own team. 2. In those days, sitting out was frowned upon, especially when the team doc clears him. Everyone was treated that way. Everyone! 3. I tend to trust the team sentiment. I think you are digging on this one.
