Al Kaline Moments to Remember: George & Al
Вставка

- George Kell and Al Kaline call a memorable Tigers game vs the Yankees in 1981, featuring a legendary Sparky Anderson umpire argument, and a walk-off home run.
We didn’t know how good we had it. George, Ernie, Sparky and now Al. RIP to all of you. Nothing like Tiger Stadium in summertime. You guys were my childhood. Rest easy.
Amen.
We were blessed to have these guy's calling games, but let's not forget Paul Carey either. RIP to all of them.
@bobsbornfree Good catch. Can't believe I forgot Paul. One thing for sure, we were lucky enough to have two of the best broadcast teams ever.
when I was a kid I would start the game with George and Al, then when my parents sent me to bed I would listen to the rest of the game on the radio with Ernie. Those were the days.
I appreciate those days more now than I did back then, miss everything about yesteryear
Gives me a smile listening to George Kell and Al Kaline. Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey on the radio. Very lucky to hear these guys describe Tigers baseball.
We were equally lucky to have had the best ballpark in the world too.l.. Tiger Stadium! No one will ever convince me that there was a justifiable reason to pull the Tigers out of their historic home and then have it demolished. Especially when I see Tiger Stadium's sister ballpark (built the same time as Tiger Stadium in 1912) is still going strong at 111 years old.
Yep, I miss all of those great players, the announcers, and the Grand stage they once played on at the Corner of Michigan and Trumbull in Detroit. Yes, people pass away... things change... It's inevitable, but the passing of Tiger Stadium didn't have to be.
@@daleatkinson941 Illitch wanted his corporate boxes, and Tiger Stadium was in the way. Makes me sick.
The voices of my childhood. Feels so good to hear them.
I will never forget George and Al.
yep, Gorge has such a calming voice and Al had tons of knowledge todays broadcasters lack. I do like the color guy the tigers have no though, he used to play for the tigers.
@@dfens1987 Jim Price, a back-up catcher on the Tigers from 1967-71.
@@dallasbrubaker6054 No no not price. um he is the black guy that does color with mario impemba. Is it craig monroe???? I need a tigers broadcast this year, so I can find out.
@@dfens1987 oh on TV with Mario Impemba was Rod Allen
@@dallasbrubaker6054 RIGHT god just couldnt remember his name. Very good color, brought the game from a players prospective.
George Kell had one of the best speaking voices I have ever listened to. His HOF speech is a Gem
You will never here a call from 2 men like this in your life like this! Pure class!
That Gibson HR was on a Sunday afternoon....It was Gibson's first dramatic HR to win a game and three years later he would do it in the World Series, and then just for fun do it again with the Dodgers in 1988. He was something else! And the call by George Kell is so great to hear...Kaline lets out a whoop too! Kaline worked long and hard with Gibson to make him a player. They were very close.
Kaline said Gibson would be, "...a dramatic hitter.." Shows you the knowledge from a veteran. Al called it. And George agreed. Love and miss them.
RIP Al Kaline
You will be missed
George too
Loved George Kell......"Fly ball deep right center field, WAY BACK, and it is...........HOME RUN !! " He hit it a MILE" Thanks for posting this, I remember it well. Best HR call ever !! Al was excited too !
Omg, this was the best of the baseball times. George and Al were phenomenal together. George's Arkansas drawl and Al's analogy were best in baseball. Buck was nothing compared to these two.
I sure miss these two. My childhood was filled with nothing but good memories when I think back to watching my Tigers in the 80’s
He "hit it a mile"
How I miss that Arkansas drawl of Mr. George Kell.
I still do my impression of him at age 56 because he was one of a kind.
3:07
I cracked up...One of my George imitations was v" Gibson hit it a mile"
Seems the State of Arkansas has produce many legendary sports figures.
I really miss that stadium and all the players associated with it.
Did anyone ever tell you,that you look like St.Shultz.
This clip just fills me with nostalgic hope. I loved those early 80's Tiger teams, the pieces falling into place, their core coming together.
And the voice of George Kell narrating this team's rise. It's like a piece of comfort pie. All is well when I hear / watch stuff like this.
George Kell is the best announcer ever.
Wow! I grew up in Detroit and remember this game!!! I have been looking for it for over 30 years.... thank you!!!!!
George and Al. Ernie and Paul..We reallly had it good....I moved to Phoenix in 1988 as a 26 year old and I really missed the team...My Pop called to ask my new wife what he should send for my birthday and she jokingly said send the tigers, he really misses them...My dad bless his heatt recorded about half the games on cassette and some TV games too.
He did that for a couple years...I still have them all...I found them a couple weeks ago and last night listened to the Tigers whip Boston with Clemmons pitching on a Saturday night in july with40k people in the park....Thanks dad ,George,Al Ernie,and Paul
Great story !! Bless your Dad.
Be so great if you could find a way to upload those games. 🐅 ⚾️
I remember watching that one. Right after the players strike. Sent the Tigers on a winning streak right to the final series against the Brewers, which they unfortunately lost the chance for the 2nd half championship.
Strange year indeed.
Gosh, I miss those days. These guys were awesome. I'm so glad that I grew up in that era
I can’t believe I found that clip, I remember that game, I have not seen that replay since that day 1981. George Kellwas the best
Back then we took for granted what George and Al provided for us.
We thought it would last forever.
Now we miss them as we try to remember the great times of our youth.
I miss George & Al. Loved George's Southern accent. Believe it's Arkensaw. Bless You Boys
Love George and Al on the call, Love Sparky, Love Gibby, Love old Tiger Stadium, been there many times, and Love beating the Yankees!
RIP Mr. Tiger...you are missed.
Well this made me insanely happy. George. Al. Sparky! Gibby!!! 🐅 ⚾️
Classic loved it with George & Al and sparky....Gibby with another dramatic homer AWESOME!!!! 🐯⚾🚩
These are the voices of summer for me! I feel so blessed to have Kaline, Kell, And Harwell!!!! God bless our boys
And Carey
Thank you. I had no knowledge of this game as this occurred before I started watching sports. In retrospect, if George Kell had known how many long Homeruns that Kirk Gibson was going to hit he wouldn't have said this was one of the longest he's ever hit.
A classic George Kell call!
What a special time to watch and listen to a game the 60's thu the 90's in Detroit. Distinct voices and no BS over analyzing and a perfect canvas in Tiger Stadium to paint their pictures
R.I.P. to all of the great Tiger announcers, ball players, and to Tiger Stadium. You are all dearly missed. :(
Glorious!! "That great stinking shrine." You can forever feel the dimensions of that ballpark. What a place. And what a pleasure it was to listen to George and Al and Ernie growing up.
I grew watching George and Al on WDIV channel 4, and they were the best. R.I.P. gentlemen!
Man i miss this time. Gave me chills hearing the home run call, one of my favorite players on the team kirk gibson, the other lance parrish.
This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. I remember it well. George, Al, Sparky, and Gibby. Awesome!
Al Kaline is a PROPHET in 1981 ! We LOVE AL KALINE, GEORGE KELL & KIRK GIBSON !
What a shot! Remember it like it was yesterday! And what a call from two of the best ever. Go Tigers!
Watched/listened to this a few times. Nearly missed Kell’s comment that this was Gibson’s first AB of the game. That’s right…this was a PINCH HIT, three-run walk off home run. Fast forward to the 1988 World Series - Game 1, bottom of the 9th, two outs: Gibby knew he could do it because he had done it before. In Tiger Stadium!
Great, great clip all the way around…🥳🥳🥳
I remember that game like it was yesterday! Great home run call by George and Al!
Ah yes my younger day’s 🇨🇦 side of the Detroit River , 21 in 81 grew up 2 blocks from the river by the Bridge , Tiger Stadium light ‘s off in the short distance , Ernie on the radio..
Thank you for this. Great stuff. Sorry for the reason it's being shown....but great stuff. Farewell, Mr. Tiger and we remember Captain Hook as well.
I wrote about this in Creative Writing the following school year it was so memorable. It wasn't the first walk-off I'd seen in person (Champ Summers had that distinction in 1979) but it was a fun one.
Great pairing. Two great players who understood the rhythm of the game
I miss my youth!
How I loved my 🐅 🐯
Classic Sparky
Thank you so much for posting, THAT was awesome!! Would be very grateful if you could post more vintage clips. Would LOVE to see Mark Fidych's debut start, May 15 1976 (If tape is still available). Broadcast on Ch.4, on a cloudy, cool Saturday afternoon. 2-1 Tiger victory, a complete game for The Bird.
The Tigers overcame adversity to win that game. Very hard-fought victory.
Loved those two guys together. Al wasn't very good at first but turned out to be a good analyst.
Gibby's swing .... Miss those days @ Michigan & Trumbull
Now that was baseball folks.
Loved this team. More familiar with Ernie Harwell on the radio but this is good stuff.
Any time you get to hear George say "Fahve," it's a great day. Even if it's on captured video. Thanks.
I remember that moment very well I was 15 years old me my mother father went by my sisters and her husband's house for Sunday dinner we watch the game and when Gibby hit that dramatic home run we all went crazy it was the topper of the Sunday dinner it made it extra special p.s. Tiger fan 4 life 🐯⚾
Loved the way George Kell would say WDIV.
Excellent video. Give em all heck Sparky!
Leave it to Ole #23! To think, he would go on to be a member of a World Championship team in both leagues.... the '84 Tigers AND the '88 Dodgers! Not a bad resume...🇵🇷🇺🇸😊
Ricky Peters WOW! I think he hit all of 2 home runs in his brief time as lead off man in Detroit.
Along with a 220 batting average 😄
This kind of broadcasting is what I long for so very much. Not the constant chatter of guys that never played, trying to sound important. Just two old salts talking when needed and calling it like it was. So sick of non-stop yacking by talking heads and all the junk on the screen. Even worse blabbing on the radio. Guess zombies need all the chatter or they get bored. I miss George and Al so very much. Erine and Paul, too.
George Kell was great. Very underrated nationally. At least as good as Jack Buck. Not far behind Vin Scully.
Well ahead of Jack Buck. Vin Scully is the best national announcer I ever heard for baseball. Ernie Harwell is a very close second. Kell would be above Harry Carey.
@@ronz2614 Vin was very good, but I liked Curt Gowdy just a tad more. We were so lucky to have great announcers for all our pro teams in Detroit back in the day.
Tigers and Mets 2 favorite teams
Sunday game I believe I do remember this family dinner and watching the tigers win a big game .
It looked like you could easily see in the replay that the ball didn't hit Peters bat, surprised Al didn't see that.
Gibson fucking CRUSHED that ball.
George Al and Ernie did Lion Games the best
Michigan and Trumbull will always be the Greatest Stadium in the MLB
(RESTRICTED SEATS AND ALL)
After this, Gibby went on a complete tear and ended the year with a .328 average.
Sparky was the best manager of the Lions
Loved George Kell home run calls as much as Ernie Harwell calls. We had it so good in Detroit. The way baseball is called today sucks....Too much banter and not enough engagement in the game in front of them.
8-16-1981
Top comments didn't disappoint.
No way was Nettles going to leave. He was one of the biggest on-field jerks ever.
WDIV 4 Sports
That wasn't a strike or a foul tip.
I remember this moment as a kid, one of my highlights before '84 put them over the top.
I am annoyed by the lazy choice to change the aspect ratio to letterbox from the standard more or less square picture. Lazy because the cut done to the video was from both the top and the bottom evenly which means there are moments in which the camera shot seems to cut off Gibson's head. C'mon, spend a couple of minutes and do it right or just leave the original aspect ratio of the recording alone.
Roids? We don't need no stinkin' roids.
That umpire stunk! He should have been the one removed from the game!
Ken Kaiser wasn't a bad umpire in terms of calling balls and strikes. He was a very bad umpire in that he seemed to want to be the focal point of the game. Haller was almost as bad.
Voted one of the worst umps in MLB. He did some pro wrestling before becoming an ump.
Kiaser hated the Tigers.
0:19 look who thinks they're mattingly.......!
I think that was Rick Cerrone.
I feel sorry for any Tigers manager. You’ll never compare to Sparky Anderson. No matter what you accomplish, at best you’ll be 2nd.
