The sound of the bat followed by the deafening growlish roar from the crowd is simply amazing. I love and miss Shea.
It was a dump. However I have a lot of good memories of Shea from the early 70’s until it’s closing.
kevin dwyer go listen to philly crowds
💯 agree!
I can't believe it's been over 23 years!⚾
I was at this game and I remember I was so nervous my parents were gonna be upset when I got home cause the game was going so late. That moment was the greatest live sport event I ever experienced
Just watched this with my wife while stuck at home during corona virus. We are the two people in the white ponchos behind home plate. She’s the shorter one to the left...check out that late reaction to ball one of the at-bat. Priceless:) stay safe everyone!
Yeah no one believes you
@@ejflor1313 I believe him, my sister and I were there also, 1st base side last row. I was a vendor for Waldbaum's at the time got the tix from Blue Ridge Farms.
Lucky you have this moment on video 😊
Funny stuff!
How awesome was it? The rain definitely added to the craziness that night!
Costas should have called more games. Guy kept it real
He would have had to move to FOX and NBC wasn't letting him get away.
Good news is he's working with MLB Network.
One of my all time favorite baseball people. One of the few guys on MLB Network who knows how HOF voting should work and he understands game evolution really well too. Always been a well spoken dude too. Just wish he wasn't a Yankee fan hehe. Nice to see him on CNN now lol
Check out the MLB Top 20 Games here on UA-cam. Costas hosts it and I agree; he does awesome.
I feel he did call a lot of games but yeah he’s the best
Watched this game in its entirety. This was truly a classic.
I watched this as a teenager. First baseball game I watched all the way through and was trying to find this play. Only thing I remembered is that it was the mets and it ended with a grand slam
I was 10 years old and I was there. I will never forget this moment as long as I live.
@@ianrostrup7968 that's incredible...I remember the 2 hour rain delay ...I stayed in all day and waited it out
Was a college freshman lifting weights in the dorm. Couldn’t believe what I was watching.
a drive back to Georgia " Great call by costas
It fit so well
Last good world series announcer-wise
This is the game that cost Norm Macdonald $100,000?
Eric Van Zee Indeed it is.
Eric Van Zee That was a serious story?!? I had heard about it, as well as Norm making numerous crazy bets, but I always thought that particular story was just an urban legend, based on Norm’s reputation.
$100,000...just wow. Ha!
Exactly why I came here.
@@claypage1089 Lol me too
whats the story?
"A 5 hour and 47 minute trip to bedlam" One of the greatest lines I've ever heard
Facts
We might not hear something like that again since the addition of the pitch clock
“Bedlam At The Bank” is a lot better.
#GoPhils
I remember I went to sleep and woke up and they still were playing. Brings memories back
As a 13 year old kid watching this I'll never forget it. Amazing
Same here.
That 1999 team was solid. Great defense and a blend of HOF vets and young players.
Better than the 2000 team for sure, shame they couldnt finish the deal
My favorite team celebrating with my favorite band "The Doors" . Love the 99 mets!
Didn't notice LA Woman until going back after reading your comment
Mr. Mojo Risin
I like The Doors
Unbelievable, can’t imagine betting the over in this game.
Norm Macdonald bet $100k on the over and lost because of this
I didnt get to watch the 86 Mets bc of my age.. This is was my favorite Mets team ever.. I got a terrible memory but I remember exactly where I was when I saw the end of this game.. also Robin ventura was the GS king 🤴 🙌..
I remember watching this homerun live and picturing Bobby Cox saying “Ventura” exactly like the landlord character in Ace Ventura Pet Detective for some reason. The 90s were good times
That's My boy Robin Ventura.. play with him in high school for righetti high School.. in 85 86... With JP and boo
Major League Baseball had the official score as 4-3.
Probably because he didn't complete the trot
Edit: Definitely because he didn't complete the trot
yeah it’s not officially a homerun because he didn’t circle the bases
“Grand slam single”
That’s really dumb. It should count
@@brianmcfarland6548 you don’t score from hitting the ball out
You score from rounding the bases
As a Mets fan since I was little kid watching the team in blue on TV with the awful record, but was close enough to my hometown of Buffalo that I latched on, the team this year reminds me so much of the team during this era with guys like Agbayani, and Jay Payton, and watching Rey Ordonez with his diving catch and toss plays while he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, they just were a blast to watch
One of my favorite Met highlights...WOW! What a long single.
From a series they lost, what a pathetic existence
@@TL2354 you gotta take the good with the bad. Even though we lost this still was a magical moment, just like 2015 was a magical run even though we lost there too. If you always look at the glass half empty than being a Mets fan will be 10x harder lmao.
Great moment in Mets history! I really liked Ventura when he played for us. CLUTCH, both with a bat or glove! ❤️👍
Robin ventura is legend to white sox fans
🔥🔥🔥Yankees fan here this is amazing
The Yanks are a great franchise...there is no denying...but when the Mets are good...every 10 years or so...we get SOOOOOOO excited...You guys just expect it. We celebrate it because it is so rare.
@@vincentalbanese9443that depends but then Mets fans runs their mouth like cowboys fans saying we will win it all
Good times! Ventrura was always the laid back guy on the team, a really fun team full of personality.
He was both a cocky player and manager.
Listened to this on the radio because my power was out that night. So stupid they didn't give Robin credit for the grand slam.
I remember this like it was yesterday
1:45 "A Drive To Right... Back To Georgia! Gone! A Grand Slam! What A Scene At Shea!"
-Bob Costas.
I watched every second of this game
Baseball will never be this exciting
Sure it will. It is at a peek right now.
2nd only to "Behind the BAAAAG!"
What about Pratt's all Folks
AMEN Brother!
Vin Scully
Here comes Knight and the Mets win ittttt.
Yup
Stayed up for that one, never forget it
letsgomets07 same here
Bob Costas was the best.
The best to do games in any sport.
Best thing that happened was Ventura not being allowed to run the bases. Grand Slam Single was coined because of that.
I believe this was the 35th greatest game ever played of the 100 greatest games of the 20th century. This game was spellbinding.
I was there. Seats behind Home Plate. Upper deck, next to last row. The stadium was actually shaking.
This vid brings absolute joy
Games were so fun to watch 💙
The contact he made on that ball was SO satisfying! Doesn't matter they didn't win it all that year, this moment will forever be legendary.
And this is why I love my mets , Just amazing
Good Lord look at my old Stadium even in 2015 Citi Field didn’t sound like this
Doesn’t come close. I miss Shea all the time. It was a different kinda energy.
Such a classic.
I remember this VIVIDLY!!!!! ABSOLUTE BEDLAM!!!!!!
was a memorable run with great players from when I was a kid like Hershiser and Henderson
The team should have walk around the bases with him. I remember watching that game too
this official scoring was critically important to many gamblers. Remember hearing Norm McDonald telling how he lost $100,000 on this game. haha
Pure Joy
I was in the upper deck behind home plate for this home run. I've seen some historic games at Shea, but this is the best..
Larry? in the mezzanine area behind home plate
@@LAZLO189 his name says Eddie lol
Ventura was yelling at all the Mets who mobbed him. I think they thought that he got a base hit. But he got a grand slam. So he was probably trying to tell his team to go to home plate. Although I love Gary Thorne's call of this legendary moment more than Costas' call, I liked how Costas paused after saying "Back to Georgia!" And then he said, "Gone! A grand slam!" Gary Thorne believed that it was a base hit just like the Mets players.
The Bad Beat heard round the world.
I wish this duo caller more games. Rest in power Joe Morgan.
Joe should be in two HOF's. One on the field, one in the booth.
Don't worry he's in the booth in heaven talking about Jose Fernandez.
Greatest game that I was at
Shea was a perfect stadium for a baseball crowd. My best memory is the 2006 NLCS( sorry Met fans)
I was at this game. Never heard a sound like that when the ball cleared the fence.
Watched this game with my grandma, at her house .... all the way 'til the end .... she was 88 .... and, the following spring she had to sell her house .... so this is a bittersweet memory for me. She loved making fun of John Rocker .... whenever he would come in the game, she'd say, 'oh, there's Rocker, ya Know they've lost the game when they call him in!' .... XD
Christ. 24 years ago. I was 11. My god I remember it like last year.
As a Yankees fan rooting for a 1999 subway series, if the Mets won this series, they would not gotten swept in the world series. Yankees still would have won but I think '99 Mets was a scrappy bunch that IMO would have at least a WS game maybe 2.
And back to this game. I know this game is underrated but this IMO one of the best top 5 LCS playoff games ever. What these Mets did by pushing the Braves to 6 games before losing is make it possible for the 2004 Red Sox to come back 0-3 to win a playoff series. Maybe the best MLB playoff (non world series)game of the 1990's.
As a Mets fan in October of 2004 I said no this Red Sox comeback not going to happen. I've seen this movie 5 years ago. Course I was wrong
I like that you appreciate a team other than your own. That's cool. They were scrappy and if it weren't for Kenny F*&#ing Rogers walking home the winning run in game six, we might have had an epic game seven.
Thank You. I consider myself a MLB fan first(that my first love in pro sports as a little boy lol)then a Yankees fan. Other than the 1986 and '69 championship team, I think the '99 Mets (to date)is still the best Mets team ever so far.
radconserv68 if it wasn’t for the, being down 3-0 in the series
The run total in the game was set at 7.5 by vegas. If he circled the bases it would have been over by 2.5 runs. Because he didn’t, it went under lol #BadBeat
My dad went apeshit man threw the vase right through the TV!
Amazing game, we should have taken them to 7 games!
This Mets team couldn't take them to 7.
AMEN BROTHA....WHAT A LEGENDARY CALL BY MR COSTAS... DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER....YOWZA!!!😉
I can see the crowd right from my six floor window from the BLAND PROJECTS 4th building
Eric Rivera say hi to Annette for me!! Lol
Awesome baseball player..
ohhhhh, grand slam single....now i get it.
MR MOJO RISSIN
The Mets, for all of their failings, sure have quite a flare for dramatics.
Ya Gotta Believe
They left him in because he was one of the best ground ball pitchers we had they wanted a double play
they should take george brett's illicit homerun back and give it to robin. also, they should give andy hawkins his no-hitter back!
....and Armando Galarraga his perfect game.
This was a good group.
I'm glad he did this. I remember this, but not as well as him charging Nolan.
I felt bad for Norm MacDonald's bet
This would be seen as a bigger moment in baseball history in general if not for Kenny Rogers walking in the winning run for the Braves in Game 6. Same with that pennant winning walk meaning more if the Braves didn't follow up by getting swept by the Yankees.
lol I remember that World Series for Chad Curtis hitting a walk off home run and then refusing to talk to Jim Gray, because of how Gray had treated Pete Rose the night before .....
I was there! It was electric!!
We know one run had to score. What happened to the two other base runners ahead of Ventura? Did they cross the plate? The over/under was 7.5.
Official scoring was 4-3
Atlanta won this NLCS, and the 1999 Pennant in the most bizarre way possible. A Bases Loaded Walk in the Bottom of the 9th Inning of Game 7.
That outfielder ran toward the infield like MLB the show
What was the name of the song?
I wanted him to go around! lol
There are few things in life that will ever compare to an amped up crowd at Shea
Tura was always a good clutch hitter.
Ventura got really nice tan by the end of that video. Lookin' sharp, kid.
Bob Costas Do Your Job!
“How about that!”-Mel Allen ⚾️
Norm Macdonald bet the over (7.5) for $250,000 in this game. Is that not the most insanely tragic thing that could happen to a person? He obviously lost because they only awarded a single.
I would have made my teammates get off me so i could touch home plate
Bobby box and Leo
“God is a Mets fan, just ask bill Buckner” as a Red Sox fan that sign is HILARIOUS 😂
Buckner agreed
Ya gotta believe!!! LGM!!
I made it through the rain
These were exciting times to be a Mets fan ...... so in order for Cedeno who was the only run that actually mattered here to officially count as scoring Ventura had to officially round the bases is that how it works... I'm unsure of the ruling that's why I'm asking?
Ventura just had to reach first base for Cedeno's run to officially count (on a GW hit).
@@chrisg.9537 Since there was only one out, if Ventura did not reach first base before being mobbed, he would be called out but Cedeno still would have scored.
Imagine if the over under for this game was 7.5 runs- and you had the over
ouch.
Norm Macdonald bet the over and it was 7.5. HE BET $250,000. He lost everything he had on this game. SO SAD.
The late, great Norm Macdonald lost 100K on this game because he bet the over, which was 7 1/2, so he needed 8 combined runs scored. He said it was the worst gambling loss of his life.
Maybe not letting ventura jog around for the grandslam jinxed them for the series
Mets should win this series
Ventura did not step at home plate because he didn't step on home plate, he would be awarded with a single and he didn't even care.
Those games against the Braves were epic. Too bad we never beat them... Still hate Kenny Rogers!
still hate rocker and the 2 jones
I wonder how the late, great Vin Scully would have called this game...
I watched this game. Don't recall how they actually scored the hit. Mets rallied in the deciding game from way back but just fell short. I think Kenny Rogers walked in the winning run with the bases loaded. Frustrating ending for the Mets.
That was SO Frustrating. Like Glavine giving up seven runs to the Marlins in the first inning of the last game of the 2007 regular season. If the Mets had won, they would have made the playoffs. The next year they missed the playoffs, again by losing to the Marlins in the last game of the season.
Seriously.. how dumb were these guys in not letting Ventura run around the bases to make his Grand Slam official?
They didnt see it go over the wall, todd pratt, the guy who picked up ventura, saw the outfielder running to the dugout before the ball even went over the wall and assumed it was a hit, who cares anyway? Its not like it cost them the game
stylus850 yea, but everyone who bet the over (including norm macdonald) would have made a ton of money...but didnt.
This WOULD have been the 1st ever walkoff Grand Slam HR in postseason play had they let Ventura finishing running the bases. Eventually that honor went to Nelson Cruz of the Texas Rangers in the 2011 ALCS.
@@ckendall67 back in those days players and fans didnt care much about statistics; the just wanted to win games and do the best to help their teams
I was there, last row 1st base side. Tix's from Blue Ridge Farms a salad co. that has since went out of business.
I would of been pissed as hell if I was Ventura
Apparently he was pissed about it.
Im sure hes let it go by now. The Grand Slam Single is a true gem of baseball history.
eh, it was a playoff game..none of that shit counts in personal records
nah - it's historic. No one ever hit a Grand Slam single in the post season ever. As unique and awesome as you're ever gonna get! I'm sure if you ask him about it today, he wouldn't have changed a thing about that day!
I like to compare this walk-off with Ishikawa's walk-off HR in Game 5 of the 2014 NLCS. Wanna say that was a 3 run HR in a tie ball game. Teammates were trying to mob Ishikawa prematurely but he fought them off, making sure he got credit for the HR.
See that’s Costas in a nutshell right there. Scully or Jack Buck would have stopped at “ back to Georgia” but oh no Bob couldn’t help himself and had to make himself part of the call
August 4th 1993
In memory of Tug Mcgrow you got to believe 1969
That was the rally call in 1973 not 1969 when the Mets rallied during the season from way under .500 to win the nl east and then beat the reds for the pennant and went all the way to 7 games against the Oakland a’s but lost
So did Robin Ventura run not count since he didn’t cross home?
