- Back in the mid to late 2000s, MLB.com ran a series I really enjoyed called Baseball's Best Moments: 3-4 minute clips of baseball's most memorable moments throughout history, including clips of the games and interviews with players and managers involved. I absolutely loved the series and it was probably one of the main things that got me into baseball.
However, in recent years the series has been essentially forgotten: for quite a few years, the links to these videos on MLB's websites were almost all broken and hidden away deep within the website (I only found these by searching for each one individually). However, I recently noticed that almost all of them have somewhat recently come back online, although they are still much harder to find than they should be.
In light of this, I have decided to upload all of the series that I can find in hopes that this series is not entirely forgotten, as they are extremely well made and include many interviews I've never seen anywhere else.
Unfortunately, a handful of these episodes seem to not exist any more on the internet, those being:
- Jackie Robinson breaks the color barrier
- Wade Boggs's 3000th hit
- Cal Ripken breaks Lou Gehrig's consecutive games record
- Nolan Ryan's 7th no hitter
- Any others that I have not uploaded as far as I'm aware
If anyone has a copy of those mentioned please let me know.
My great great Uncle!😊

Legendary relative

Really? That's mad.
@@danielwarren3138 He was exposed to mustard gas.....he was obviously never the same.
One of the top five best pitchers in MLB history.
A drunk. This is from the daughter of someone who played with Alexander.
@Angry Grizzly Which exasperated his drinking problem-Wikipedia.

The legend is that Pete had gone out drinking the night before Game 7 and was dozing off in the bullpen when he got the call. He started walking in very unsteadily so Hornsby went into the outfield to guide him to the mound. Pete didn't throw as hard as Walter Johnson but he had the best control of his era, maybe the best control ever. He liked to set up batters with fast balls and then get them out with sliders, and that's what he did with Tony Lazzeri.
This is great to watch, and while some of the footage is from the 1926 Series, some of it is not. When Lazzerri is shown at the plate wearing number six, this is not from 1926, as the Yankees did not have numbered uniforms until 1929.
Nor was it actually in the game. Shots were added to the video.
I wish these two teams would play each other in the world series again. I'm a Cardinal fan so I'm biased, but these are the two most successful teams in MLB history.
One could argue that the Dodgers are more successful. They haven't won as many WS but they have taken in more dough.
@@howie9751 from a business standpoint I completely agree, but from a baseball standpoint it's hard for me to look at it that way since so much of that aspect is based in the market they play in. LA is always going to make more than STL in anything that happens there because it's such a huge market. I like the perspective though.
@@liammcfarlin3923 Thank you. The Cardinals are certainly one of the most successful teams in baseball. How do you like the new ballpark? Have you been there?

Your arguments SuckSaltySeagullShit
Tony Lazzeri is the only HOFer whose name appears on another HOFer's plaque. Both he and Alexander suffered from epilepsy. Lazzeri narrowly missed a grand slam on the pitch prior to his strikeout. And Alexander is the only player named for one US President and portrayed by another.
Haha, this is probably the best comment I've ever seen on my channel.
One of two things my hometown of St Paul, NE has claim to fame to. Pete Alexander and Dorothy Lynch dressing
What was so great about her putting on clothes?
Cardinals won the World Series in the 9th when Babe Ruth with 2 outs was thrown out trying to steal second base.
This is why lebron james is that GOAT
@@bradyford3772 Lechina is a joke
He had a hangover when he struck out Lazzeri!
@Alien Observer
As did Lazzeri.
Greatest out her in MLB history. Played for dogshit teams.
Went on to become President of the United States...again!
Yeah he did it all. Then they named a city after him!
lol?
@@howie9751 surely that joke didn't go over your head?
Just like Trump!
@@andrewcunanan5877 Hard to be president when you're sitting in the slammer. He is guilty you know.
The Greg Maddux of his time.
