One of the greatest and most pressure packed catches ever. Evans has said that he lost sight of that ball for a second and he still got it.
Dwight talked about how he was disoriented by the flight of the ball because he expected it to curve toward the right-field line, but it kept flying straight. In the end he just stuck out his glove behind him on pure instinct and ended up with the ball... you can tell how turned around he got from his throw, which is off by a full 15 degrees from where he thought he was throwing it. One of the most famous World Series catches of all time along with Willie Mays in '54.
Probably the best World Series of my childhood.
Probably the best World Series ever--unless you go back to 1912.
@@Lava1964 Best World Series of all time.
@@Lava1964 NOTHING was better in 1912
Evans was so underrated. In the book 'Game Six' by Mark Frost, the Reds, once the Series started, took a look at Evans, and realized he was the best all-around player the Sox had. Evans, upon hearing this, poo-pooed the comments, saying he sure wasn't Fred Lynn.
Evans had such a cannon for an arm.
Dewey struggled at the plate during the first half of his career-batting coach Walt Hriniak eventually fixed that-but I can’t help but wonder how many runs he saved with his fielding and throwing
Love the call by Garagiola….still gives me goose bumps
Easily his best call ever.
I was 10 in 1975 and I wasn't a fan of either team (life long Braves fan) but that was a great series. Probably the greatest WS in my lifetime. Theres been some good series, but the '75 series had it all.
My all-time favorite Red Sox player. Yeah, they've had better players, but Dewey was always my favorite.
Mine too.
Dwight Evans was a fantastic player.
That whole outfield was stellar.
Jim Rice - Fred Lynn - Dwight Evans...
But, Benintendi - Bradley - Betts, is even better!
@@coolworx really? Think again!
Chatsworth H.S.
It has been almost 44 years since that world series but I have yet to see a better one since then!
Chris Bath I think the only 2 in the chat of best World Series games was either game 7 in 1991 or game 7 in 2016. As much as the 2001 fall classic was well a “classic” because of the blown saves from both the D’backs and Yankees relievers, it just misses being making the cut IMO from either ‘75, ‘91 and ‘16. Ditto for the blunders and mental errors made imo why game 6 in 1986 and game 7 in 2011 also just misses the cut of being the GOAT in best World Series of all time.
GREAT play by burleson
And I believe he played shortstop, so unless he was playing 2nd in that game, he came across the infield to make it...something the pitcher should have done, btw. Either way, truly a great and heads up play by Burleson.
@@mrartician5250 He did play shortstop. Denny Doyle, playing second went into the outfield for the relay. You can see him on the slow motion throw form Evans to first. He is a good 50 feet into the outfield. So Burleson did run over from short to get the throw from Yaz. You know, your typical 9-3-6 double play.
@M girls like soccer
This was a line drive…directly over his head…and the ball appeared to have a little top-spin or knuckle action on it…remember: Morgan tomahawked a high fastball. Just a clutch play in a game seemingly full of them: Carbo at 0-2 and Foster’s throw to the plate. I was 8, watched it all, truly a Fall Classic. I ended up playing D1 college ball and pro ball: this game surely had some influence on that happening.
And he belongs in the Hall Of Fame...
Carbo? No. Evans? Yes. He did his job very well, and was overlooked when his time came. Until near the end of his career few people noticed how well he did the job- how easy he made it look.
Evans was the second-best right fielder in baseball history. Only Roberto Clemente was better...but not by much.
Catholicus, he has more home runs, rbi's and hits than many HOf clowns that shouldn't be there. 8 golden gloves to.. yea, he sucks..
Catholicus, only Jim Rice and Fisk I think made the hall in that era. Ya of course. But he was before them. I know you didn't say he sucked, I though he got better as he got older..
Most RBIs in the 1980's of ANY player, 8 gold gloves, 3 time All Star and 2 time Silver Slugger. He should be in. They just don't weight OF defense like infielders.
The Reds manager Sparky Anderson said it was one of the greatest catches he had ever seen.
Have you ever listened to Dewey Evans describe this play. The ball literally turned the opposite than it normally would so Dwight lost sight of the ball momentarily but still made a spectacular catch
His depth perception on this catch was off the charts perfect. Morgan hit a frozen rope.
Love how the guy in the overcoat leaps to his feet with hands raised right after the catch. It was similar to the cop who reacted to Papi’s grand slam vs Tigers.
Thought the same thing!
What a series, the best!
One of the best teams to not win the world series.
note Yaz and Burleson knew what to do
They always knew what to do, two of the very best.
Yeah, I think I could have done that.
(sure)
Covering the bag; that’s real baseball.
Still the best World Series I ever saw
1991 and 2016 is at least in the discussion as well. However considering the amount of hall of famers and near hall of famers like Evans playing in this series, this is probably might be still the best fall classic ever.
how about '86? @@americangiant1003
Not '86 because '75 had all of those Hall of Famers AND Game 6, quite possibly the greatest game ever played.
This was such a desperate catch...that’s what makes it so great.
It was a "self defense" type catch!
Watching this game live, this play (above the Carbo and Fisk HR's) was the most memorable takeaway
Great catch and great home run as the Red Sox beat the Reds in a stunning upset, 3 games to 4!
Nice to see that someone remembers Bernie Carbo and his game-tying HR. Not many people do, even those who saw the game.
Not to denigrate anyone else, but Carbo's HR was it for me.
Also Fred Lynn crashing into the center field wall and crumpling to the ground, where he Kay motionless for several minutes.
I was there.
That ball was absolutely scorched by Morgan
How is he NOT in the HOF ?
Best ws
DEWEY!
It is possible that, had Evans asserted himself earlier in his career, that he might have made the Hall of Fame. In part, however, this was due to his being platooned until Bernie Carbo was traded, midway through the 1978 season.
Amazing catch. That is a homer in almost any other park.
Joe Morgan simply smoked that baseball, it was just a phenomenal defensive play by Dwight Evans, to end the top of the 11th inning...
and whenever joe morgan did a game for espn in boston they always showed this replay on the scoreboard to rub it in morgans face
Rub it in his face? The Red Sox LOST the World Series and Morgan drove in the game-winner in Game 7. Morgan's in the HOF and Evans is not. So, not sure what your idiotic, delusional "rub it in Morgan's face" statement was in reference to. The catch was a good catch but hardly spectacular. He jumped when he didn't have to. Like he didn't know how close to the fence he was, and was HIS home ball park!
Michael Wainscott 1990. The last time the big pink machine won the WS. As Red Sox fans say, Reds you DO stink.
I hear that. I watched this series. And as far as i can remember the reds won the series. ASSHOLE.
If you want to see a hof player watch joe morgan throw out bluemoon odom to win game 5 of 1972 ws. I watched that one also.
ASSHOLE
genegeneish where the fuck have you been sense. 2004, 2007, 2013, 2018. Eat it like you have.
How about that!
Watch Burleson.
The NFL Rules Committee would say that this was NOT a catch.
...after looking at it for 20 minutes.
yo, torii. you gotta make that catch; here's how it's done.
75 is what really caused Fenway attendance to boom not 67 as everyone says
Ironic that he makes a terrible throw after perhaps his greatest catch ever, but it didn’t matter they had Griffey out by miles anyway!
Is there another team that is just as heroic in losing as it is in winning? No. Only the Red Sox.
Maybe the Giants, but yes, the Red Sox lost a lot of epic battles.
People forget, but Evans was a fairly average hitter for many, many years, before Coach Hriniak educated him. A very average hitter, with an average average, perhaps a bit more of'is share of StrikeOuts, and an occasional Jack...until The Late Innings...Swear to the God of your choice: When I stayed up late in the late 70's, pre-Hriniak, with the lights off and no flashlight under the blankets, because Mom wasn't no fool, it was Dwight Dewey Evans, more than all combined, who came up with late-inning Magic. Bless his beautiful Soul.
I like the catch where ball tipped off his glove and into the bullpen in the 86 WS way better.
You could be thinking of Dave Henderson, when the ball went into and out of his glove for a HR. In the ALCS against the Angels. The hitter was Bobby Grich.
Incredibly poor memory, Adrian. Nice try though.
@@basilmarasco1975 2 different plays and 2 different series. I remember how bummed Evans was after the ball ended up over the bullpen fence.
I don't think the ball would have cleared the fence. It looks like it would have hit near the top and bounced back onto the field.
It would have been a sure triple, or inside-the-park home run.
@@davidlafleche1142 I still say it was snatched too high out of the air not to leave the ballpark .it was traveling fast. still one of the deepest right fields in MLB.and one of the most ridiculously short fences.
So much better than the Jeter catch when he purposely fell into the 3rd base stands.
Not sure why you would even mention that, but okay.
@@jamesage24 Because Evans has class and Jeter doesn't.
An outstanding catch, but not among the greatest IMO.
IHi Mr. Artician. If you were a fan of either team this catch was huge.The catch was made in extra innings of an already spectacular game. I agree the catch is not greatest, but how it turned the game around cannot be underestimated.
@@furfamilysue you sir are sooooo correct!
Every professional right fielder ought to make this catch ten times out of ten tries.
You don''t know thing one about baseball if you think that chance was routine for any outfielder. It took a superlative outfielder like Dwight Evans to make that play.
Ludicrous, Leonard.
great catch, crappy throw, horrible baserunning.
Wasnt great play...he mussed played the wall and just made a catch expected of any pro baseball player
It wasn't a great play? In what galaxy is that not a great play?
It doesn't seem like that great a catch. I guess it just came at an important time. I think we've all seen a lot better…..Gargiola sure sold it, though….
Yeah lib. MAGA antifa
@@fenwaypark1725 but w/that short fence, if he doesn't get to that ball it's gone.but for Dewey, it was something he did at practice a hundred times.
if it had traveled to the bullpen, it could've hit the fence, but not there.it was headed for a fan .near the corner of the bullpen. he had 8,9 gold gloves for a reason.
He wasn't a hall of fame player
...but he was one of the best right fielders in baseball history, second only to Roberto Clemente.
For that matter, what an outfield that was: Yastrzemski, Lynn, Evans...no team ever had a better one.
Yea !! Ok, half the idiots who got in after he retired SUCK !!!
Stephen Vargo No he wasn't, but he was still very good. He should be in the Red Sox Hall of Fame if he isn't already.
He was selected to the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2000.
