- In the seventh inning of the first night game at Wrigley Field (you'll recall the originally scheduled first night game was rained out), Mets center fielder Len Dykstra received an unexpected gift from the bleacher bums. After failing to catch a fly ball off the bat of Jody Davis, Dykstra got soaked by a beer that surely spilled out of a fan's hand accidentally. The play resulted in a double, with Rafael Palmeiro scoring from first.
Lenny Dykstra, this Buds for you.
This was the first night game at Wrigley. 8/9/88. The original 8/8/88 was a rain out. I was at this game.
His Philly fans back him up! He’s tough as nails Dykstra he’s fine
Lenny just got up and brushed off the beer as no big deal because he was used to beer brawls in the bar all time 😂. Today’s players would pout and throw a fit over it.
That guy could throw the ball like a bullet all the way from canter field to home plate without bouncing it
I like how they waited until they deemed that the beer shower was well deserved when he dropped the ball. Pure Cub fan class. LOL
Nice ignorant generalization
They waited until he got to where they could throw it on him
They cut away as Dykstra was getting a beer bath.
Dykstra should have caught that ball. And it wasn't beer, someone pissed on him 😆
Man that was when Palmeiro was still with the Cubs. Letting him go was a massive mistake, but they made a lot of mistakes in the 80's and 90s.
Steroids man
Philly love for Dykstra! What a character
I had a beer shower right down the street at the Metro Club during a Deerhunter show. I was standing right below the balcony.
Wouldnt say this for any other player but Lenny deserved it. How did he not catch that?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
why doesn't this happen these days :(
Their would be a complete investigation and the story would stream on ESPN for 2 weeks.
The fan would get charged with assault
Everyone is soft and fragile these days
I miss the 1980s. We were like Lenny, tough as NAILS!
We drove harsh, shitty cars that would make you cry. The grocery stores smelled like cigarette smoke. A lot of chicks still didn’t shave down there.
Cool! Does anyone know how to watch a Cubs game from 8/6/1988? My family went to that game, and Harry announced our names on air like he used to do.
When you go high to catch a fly you go with one hand only and don't get beer in your eye.
I’m sorry but if that was anybody but Lenny Dykstra I might feel a little bad for them🤣
I hope he doesn't get bitter bear face.
All part of the game in those days. No room for primadonnas. How would Lebron James have handled this?
I would have called the hitter out.
Always odd to see Palmeiro in a Cubs uni, and not Orioles-Rangers
some budweiser shower on Dykstra lol!
Probably Old Style. Worst f’ing beer ever.
Lenny prolly had more alcohol than that, in his system.
Coor's Field
The 80’s were fucked
He should have used the beer to wash down his steroids.
Why did Vin Scully announce this game?
It was the first night game at Wrigley-- so a special occasion.
@@MrLarryQ Phillies played the 1st game but it got rained out
@@JoshyP744 Well, I suppose they didn't if it was rained out.
Could have been virtually anyone else and that would have been an improvement.
@@fredapeeples6619 better than Vinny???
The fans should have been arrested and should still be in jail. Nice to hear Vin on the mic. Just do your best Sid and Lenny.
Mets blew it to the Cubs in 1984 and blew it again in '85 with an even better team.1986 was no given til Billy Buck's knees gave out.
Why? Stuff like that was normal up until 20 years ago. Now people just whine about it
Perhaps, you should be arrested for such a ridiculous comment! Get lost!
typical classless chicago fans
if this had happened in Philly it would have been the story of the century
Poured beer on dykstra, started picking fights with the dodger bullpen and threatened to kill a fan for reaching for a ball. Fuck these classless losers
@Jim Toilet nope wrigley field
Philly love for Dykstra! What a character
