Can’t believe that the A’s missed having Mac the year after, when he broke the home run record. Canseco also had a career-high with 46 HRs in ‘98 but with Toronto. 2 players that hit 116 home runs in the same year (1998) and Oakland had them just the year prior. I’m a lifelong A’s fan but the Oakland franchise has been traditionally a joke
#9 ua-cam.com/video/n_jpcibk7bg/v-deo.html #18 ua-cam.com/video/n_jpcibk7bg/v-deo.html I'm pretty sure that's #18 since they have the same uniforms as #19 and it doesn't look dark out
Back when you actually looked forward to watching a baseball game. I could care less who juiced in baseball. If that’s what it takes to make the game exciting to watch then baseball itself is the culprit.
@@EnjoySackLunch LOL. Yes, technically I complained there, but I meant I miss when people didn't complain about how long baseball games were or complain that baseball is boring to them. In the late 90's, early 2000's, no one really griped about baseball like that. Yeah, part of it may be short attention spans and people can't sit and enjoy a game anymore, but yeah, that was where I was coming from. The analytics stuff is wack, but outside of that, baseball is a fine game!
I never knew he to the Rivera 464ft dead center. That's very impressive
@greendayrock hey man thanks for taking the time to these McGwire uploads one of my favs of all time this brings back memories.
Man, even in 1997 and with McGwire on the squad, the A's still couldn't sell out the Oakland Coliseum. LOL
The ball never carried at the Coliseum anyway. Mcgwire’s longest home runs were on the road and later in Busch Stadium where they sold out every game.
Old Tiger Stadium should have never been retired. It's still my favorite.
1:46 I love how the announcer was dead wrong about the distance, the actual distance of that home run was 523 ft

5:51 Last A’s home run (354)
I think that was actually his 363rd career home run.
Three on this list over 500ft in one season.... 502, 512, 538. Almost all 58 looked like they were over 400ft.
The one in Cleveland off the Budweiser sign was over 500’. Forget about the fake 485’ measurement.
Golf shot homeruns. I think Harmon Killebrew and Mo Vaughn were the only others that hit homers that went ridiculously high and far.
Could you imagine the statcast data on Big Mac!!!! Moonshots
Big Mac, reaching greatness
Mcgwire was stuck on HR 34 for 73 at bats between the A's and Cards otherwise he breaks the record in 1997 my guess 64-65
That’s the same number of Home runs Aaron Judge had this year.

Steroids can make records in the MLB in the 90s.
So can pure talent and eye sight. You wanna drop another steroid comment?
@@cstbrent81 what are you talking about?
@@cstbrent81he cheated, knock it off!

I miss when baseball used to be fun like this and no one complained about the game. I'm sorry but they may need to get analytics out of baseball!
So you don’t see the contradiction here?
