- This video is from the April 18, 1970 Major League Baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and the Tigers in Detroit, won by the Tigers, 5-1.
The game, joined in progress in the bottom of the fourth and which runs to the top of the ninth, was broadcast on WHDH TV in Boston, with Ken Coleman and Ned Martin on the play by play and Johnny Pesky offering analysis.
Before we pick up the action, the Tigers jumped on Bill Lee for four runs in the first two innings, and the Red Sox got their only run on a bases-loaded walk by Rico Petrocelli, so the late innings didn't have much scoring.
But there are always things to discover watching old games, and for me that started with reliever Ed Phillips. I had never heard of the lad, rare for me for any Red Sox after 1967; come to find out he attended Deering High School in Portland, ME., and Colby College in Waterville, ME., where I was living at the time of this game! This was his only season in the bigs, which is interesting because I thought he had good stuff. As did Ken Brett, but I guess after being left in too long in a game in the minor leagues he never really truly regained his best form.
On the other side of the coin, there was lefthanded slopmaster Mickey Lolich, and I mean that as a compliment. Pitching is keeping the hitter off-balance, and Lolich was great at that. What he did to George Scott in that one at-bat is a felony in some states.
Anyway, although they lost this one, always great to watch Sox stalwarts Carl Yastrzemski, Petrocelli, Scott, Reggie Smith, Tony Conigliaro, and Mike Andrews in action! Heck, enjoyed seeing Al Kaline, Willie Horton, Bill Freehan, Jim Northrup, and Lolich, too.

I love this announcer. So steady, listenable. No gimmicks. Everything about the game was more professional before free agency.
Yes, however as the game got more popular and the owners had complete control over the players, that had to change. People come to see the players not owners, and the money coming in started to get stupid so the players said, gimme some of that!
Ned Martin. One of the voices of the Red Sox for many years.
@@williampremo9807 Thanks.
@@feefop9858 I actually don't disagree with the concept of players getting a bigger share. Free Agency isn't really the problem. It's that NBC is who invented it, and they paid a huge amount of money to MLB to be given out to the smaller city owners to buy their support so they would not veto Free Agency. It was really giving the smaller city teams the dollars to build and or upgrade stadiums and do tons of promotion, more so than giving players more money. The NBC idea was to get the best power hitters and base runners into the biggest TV markets asap. So the smaller markets became a defacto triple A, or Major 1A, as it were.
@@brianarbenz1329 OK, perhaps back then it was a form of corporate welfare, but today anyone buying a baseball team has tons of money to do whatever they want. While the luxury tax system may get money to the smaller teams, does that matter much? All the small market teams pretty much suck and have no shot.
Baseball would be better if teams like the A's and Royals had a better shot, but they'll never land big free agents and anyone they draft and develop will be gone as soon as they hit free agency.
Love and miss the simplicity - such a clean broadcast not overloaded and the stadium sights and sounds were natural. I went to a Tigers game this month and it was constant manufactured noise - a second of loudspeaker silence seemingly against the rules. And sure, I may sound like an old man yelling at the players to 'get off my grass' but letting the game be the entertainment instead of forcing it with 10 second snippets of songs and demands to 'make some noise' would have been nice.
Attended a Patriots game two seasons ago, and couldn't believe how much noise there was. It's like they fear losing your attention for one second! Old-timers know where to find the entertainment in the games, but the newbies? Someone I know who has to cover the games for a living calls it "audioporn". It's too much!
It is all spectacle and productionized now.
The conglomerates have taken over all aspects of life and getting wealthy at everyone else's expense. Even sports is now like a "reality" show.
Love the no nonsense stadium, play by play, and the split screen.
Those were the days. ❤
Wow! I remember watching this game in Detroit on TV when I was 11 years old! Priceless!
Awesome!
@@petegoodwinboston4825 Thanks for this little piece of my childhood. Loved those Detroit Tiger teams!
@@jeffreyjohnson486 You're welcome! An excellent team, and I probably don't have to tell you how many times Gates Brown killed us!
Yaz always said if there was one other ballpark he could play in full time it would be Tiger stadium .
Dick McAuliffe's batting stance is classic.
I really miss those years.
Willie Horton built like a linebacker .
As a lifelong Tiger and Red Sox fan, this is bliss. So many memorable players. Tiger Stadium. And Ned Martin! All first rate. Baseball before mega-branding.
Agreed! Also, the legendary Johnny Pesky and Ken Coleman! It was great to hear these legends broadcast the Red Sox games on UHF!
This is a absolute gem I hope it stays up on UA-cam.
It'll be up as long as I'm above ground!
Even though it was just part of the game, I enjoyed every second of it. When baseball was truly still a game. All those great names, even among the lower tier players. I remember so many of them. I thank you so very much for sharing this with us. A gem.
Psyched you enjoyed it so much, Doug!
Wow! It's great to see again the legendary Mickey Lolich, Al Kaline, Bill Freehan, Jim Northrup for the Tigers, Tony C, Yaz, George Scott, Rico Petrocelli and Mike Andrews.
This video brings back great memories when baseball was great before the big money! I remember watching all televised Red Sox games on my little 15" black and white TV. All games were free on UHF! I wouldn't trade growing up as a 12 year old boy in Boston in 1970 season, following my Red Sox for anything!
Tremendous, Anthony!
Love the simlpiciity of the stadium, play by play calling, and the split screen. 👌
Tbose were the glory days of baseball. ❤
Afternoon games.
Saturday afternoon games are now rare in 2024. Shortsightedness. Care little about the young fans.
Loved it when World Series games were in the afternoon.
@@oakroyal it is all about the money. Music, sports, and even charity have been bulldozed by the yuppies, corporations, lust for money, and their algorithms.
Agreed! The golden age of baseball!
Thank you for uploading! What a gem! It’s really criminal that Detroit tore down Tiger stadium. It was a cathedral like Wrigley or Fenway
Amen, free thinker! I saw a pic of the lot recently, and it was jarring.
Tiger stadium restroom had 🛁 bathtub the place to pee, ❤️ tiger stadium roof homerun like Cecil fielder lefty roofer style etc etc ❤️& miss tiger stadium old neighborhood
Mickey Lolich does belong in the Hall of Fame.I agree with Gabriel.
I agree too. He was a great pitcher!
It's a shame, Mickey Lolich belongs in the Hall of Fame!
I've said the same thing for years.
Apparently the HOF line stands between Jim Bunning and Mickey Lolich.
Sad.
Yes, he does
So do Curt Schilling, Dale Murphy, and Andruw Jones
Why?
Love the old spikes too. We used to wear them in high school. Rawlings or Spot Built. The soles were actually hard pressed cardboard.
Mickey Lolich is my favorite Tiger pitcher. Mickey was a workhorse, 300 innings per year. Of course the 68 World Series. Seeing those Tigers of my youth, what a treat. Kaline flying out to Yas, wow. Those Boston announcers top notch. Those Tiger Stadium broadcast booths were the best seats in Tiger Stadium. Loved seeing the police officers as the ball boy's.
I liked McLain from that 31-win season, but Lolich upstaged him in the Series! Give me a crafty lefty on my staff ... Bill Lee was that for the mid-70s Sox.
You don't see pitchers like that anymore
@@ericaallispn-xm1mv And that's a shame!
@@petegoodwinboston4825 yep they all burn out quick get the money and they're done
Did you notice Lolich was batting left handed,not normal for him
Mickey Lolich, Norman Cash, not wearing batting helmets, in 1970. Crazy..
Both belong in the Hall!
Great hearing Ned Martin on the call!
Loved Ned! I was very happy when I realized how much stuff there is out there from him. Maybe not complete games, but highlights!
@@petegoodwinboston4825 this goes back a bit, too. Ned Martin with…Jim Woods on radio? With Hawk? With Monty?
@@lmbscriptsharcs2044 Ken Coleman and Ned Martin alternate on play by play and Johnny Pesky is the analyst! It does go way back!
Thank you for sharing. Loved this era of MLB
Was great to see Tony C. This is one of the few games I've seen where he plays. After his beaning in 1967, he sat out 1968 and returned in 1969. He then had a great year in 1970 with 36 homers and 116 rbi's. He later admitted he still had vision problems despite the great year. Probably why the Sox traded him after this year. Also, traded because he didn't get along with Yaz. After this year, his career went downhill after the trade to the Angels and he retired. He then tried a comeback with the Sox in 1975 and made the team for a couple months into their championship season but he was washed up by then and he ended his career after a stint in the minors. He suffered a massive heart attack in middle age that left him an invalid the last years of his life. He died at the age of 45. One of the real tragedies of baseball.
Well-chronicled, Bob! And if you want more Tony C.:
ua-cam.com/play/PLsdXGYRKISaqwhaROu9VQ4tSkfBBSC_k8.html
No doubt about it Tony C was one of baseball's saddest stories, along with Herb Score
Thanks, I just turned 16 a few days earlier and am sure I was watching this game. Great memories, saw the SOX many times here in Detroit!
Glad I got to Tiger Stadium! Awesome place!
@@petegoodwinboston4825 wish I had made it to Fenway just once. So glad it is still with us. Awesome too!
The game seemed so much purer then.
Dick McAuliffe - best batting stance ever, Horton my favorite Tiger, sounds of Tiger Stadium, thanks for taking me back
Gates Brown
I remember watching this game on NBC's Game of the Week with Curt Gowdy and Tony Kubek. As a Tiger fan I was excited to see Cesar Gutieruz play because he, unlike the rest of the plodding Tigers, was fast. Then got an added bonus to see Elliot Maddox.
Oh wondering why Gowdy wasn't doing WHDH feed
1970 was Mayo Smiths last season as Detroit Tigers Manager. The Tigers hired Billy Martin as manager for The 1971 season.
This is fantastic! Grew up watching Tigers' baseball (was 8 yrs old when this game was broadcast), didn't attend my first game until 2 years later, but alway watched them on TV. Interesting to not only see the pitchers bat, but that Mickey Lolich was a switch hitter (his 1968 Game #2 homerun was from the right side). Didn't miss the overhang with his grandslam bid by much. And the steamed hotdogs at Tiger Stadium were the best! Thanks so much for posting this, I sure miss that old ballpark!
OMG, those steamed dogs sound good! Mickey Lolich didn't seem to me as overweight as everybody said. EDIT: I just saw him in the Tigers away unis, and he did have quite the front porch. I think the Tigers' classic home whites, with the blue piping down the middle, hid it a little bit. END EDIT
Mickey Lolich was actually born right-handed! He hurt his arm in an accident as a toddler and learned to use his left arm while recovering. A good thing, since that left arm proved to be one of the most indestructible appendages in the history of major league baseball.
@@petegoodwinboston4825 As a Detroiter, I became very nostalgic when I went to Fenway Park. Those green seats took me back to the old wooden ones at Tiger Stadium, which was basically Fenway's cousin -- both opened in 1912. The smell of urine and stale hotdog water under the grandstand was stronger in Detroit, however.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 GTFO! That's incredible! The things I learn from people's comments!
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 The trough urinals at Fenway were one of the big takeaways from a trip with Dad to see the Red Sox!
Tigers & Red Sox, Yaz & Kaline. Good ol’ American League baseball here. Who cares about the other league?
Pure baseball at its finest. Two great teams with great pitchers in an iconic stadium setting built with the fan in mind. By the way, they mentioned Rico Petrocelli and I said to myself wait a minute and I walked over and picked up my little league baseball bat from about that time and sure enough guess who’s name is on it! Them’s were the days!😊
Tremendous! I once had “Big Yaz” bread!
Ned Martin was the best, no longer a Red Sox fan, but so miss the day's of listening to him and Ken Coleman on the radio,
You and me both!
He taught jerry remy well. Jerry also did a tremendous job Because of ned's tutoring.
@@petegoodwinboston4825 I remember Ned Martin calling the last Red Sox game at Metropolitan Stadium in Minnesota (1981). He always complained that the TV booth was too high (third deck, back row). I always thought that place looked weird. I thought those odd, L-shaped light towers would break off and crash onto the upper deck!
@@davidlafleche1142 Agree with you and Ned; it seemed a bit off. And somewhere near was the North Stars' rink, which looked like a mid-level high school facility.
Always thought Ned Martin was so under-rated cuz he was considered the #2 man in the booth behind Ken Coleman (whose broadcasting I always found to be quite plain; the Jack Webb of broadcasters --- just the facts, man). At his best Ned painted a poetic picture in the same vein à la Vin Scully
As a Cardinals fan I remember these teams so well. I was in high school. Players from the Red Sox 1967 pennant and the Tigers WS in 1968 the Cardinals played. The Cardinals sure had trouble with Mickey Lolich in the 1968 world series.
Somewhere in these highlights there's a George Scott-Lolich at-bat and poor Scottie. Lolich fooled him badly. Nothing like a lefty who can spot it and change speeds.
I know what you mean. Lolich sure made the Cards look bad at the plate as well.. @@petegoodwinboston4825
Watch what Mick does to Yaz and Scott at 35:30. This is an example of what a great pitcher he was. He should be in HOF!
What a changeup! I could get behind his candidacy!
Lolich should have been in HOF first ballot.
If Jack Morris can get in, Lolich sure should be. He held the K record for lefties until Carlton broke it. Lolich was a far better pitcher than Morris, too.
He didnt knock down Scott after he asked for the ball inspection he embarrassed him in the best or worst way possible. Yaz he saved his out pitch for last
@dougbrowne9890 jack Morris 🏆teams won couple of world series for couple of teams
"sock it to 'em Tigers"....I love it!🕊☮
WOW 😳 ... 😃 you the man👍, thank you for posting 🌟
I miss the Sox old road uniforms.
I heard this same kind of broadcasting in Pittsburgh, with Occasional bursts of Bluster.....and by 1975, as a 12 year old I could get Tiger Broadcasts on Hot Clear Summer Nights. Loved Ernie Harwell......so I had my Buccos, Hometown Team.....and the Tigers, as my secret AL Team.
Married a Gal from Detroit......I guess it was written in the Stars!
That's outstanding!
Tiger Stadium. Just classic!
This is fantastic. Thank you!
You're welcome, although I just kind of pulled it out of something that was already out there. But it's a fun watch, for sure!
Fun fact: Mickey Lolich pitched 5 COMPLETE games (4-1 record) in the first 12 Tiger games that year.........INSANE!! He should be in the HOF, his arm was incredible, with all those innings and strikeouts he accumulated over the years!
I like the fact that he drove a motorcycle!
Lolich finished that season with a losing record as I recall. It was looking like Les Cain was going to be their ace until HE too went south.
@@StanleyLivingston-lp1jg Yep, I remember Cain was decent that season, and Joe Niekro almost had a no-hitter vs the Yankees. Lolich bounced back to win 25 in 1971, his best year.
@@jimcoleman598 Yup, In 71 he was awesome. He would have been Cy Young Award winner any other year with those numbers, but Vida Blue was off the charts phenomenal that year. Lolich won 25 and Joe Coleman won 20, great to have TWO 20 game winners. Again, that feat was overshadowed by the fact the Orioles had FOUR 20 game winners. But the Tigers made out like bandits in what they got for a fading Denny McLain.
@@StanleyLivingston-lp1jg Yes that was a great trade for Detroit
Brett may be fastest worker i've ever seen.
That was great. Thank you!
Caesar Guiterrez a lifetime 240 hitter had a 7 for 7 game in 1970.
OMG! He was hitting .218 at the time!
Only Rennie Stennett has had a 7 for 7 game in the modern era. In 1975. No one else has had one.
I stand corrected. Gutierrez was 6-6. Thank you.
O my I remember that game..... I was 10
Had to smile a bit to see the Sox #27 on a pitcher…in a couple years, it would be worn by a certain catcher…
Had the same thought!
Tigers still wear that Uni today...timeless
Indeed! One of my favorites of an opposition team!
Unfortunately, the D was changed.
Not exactly. They changed the D on the jersey to match the one on the cap back in 2018. It's not as good as the olde one.
I just realized that there was not a Designated Hitter (DH) Rule in 1970. The DH was not implemented until 1973.
And not until 2022 for the National League
Yep AL attendance was lagging behind the NL. So it was implemented to get more offense into the game.
the 40 min mark shows a 2 ft off the stike zone being called a strike
April in Detroit, could have been snowing!
WHEN BASEBALL WAS BASEBALL: Look at the backstop behind home plate and tell me what you see. You see green, just green. A green backstop with absolutely no advertisements! This was when baseball was baseball, a bygone era. Nowadays baseball stadiums are flooded from head to toe with ads everywhere they can possibly fit an ad, wherever you look, wherever you turn, you see nothing but ads everywhere. Makes you wanna puke.
Yeah, but small-to-medium market teams need to generate whatever income they can, which is a big part of why you see all that stuff. I also don't like the way it looks, but I get it.
Watch games pre 1960 and you will see ads all over outfield walls.
Well these players didn't get anywhere near the money they get today. Owners just paying the bills
Players I believe are more athletic today. They hone their craft year around.
Tiger stadium was a cathedral.
I’m happy I went there as a kid.
Need advertisements to make money. This type of baseball doesn't make money and there is no talent.
It was once a question between innings of WJR radio 76 w/ Ernie Harwell & Ray Lane & the plug for Stroh`s fire brewed Beer. Who was the only switch hitter for Detroit? It was Mickey Lolich.
Nice!
A pretty good hitting pitcher too!
Earl Wilson was good hitting pitcher for Detroit too!
Those old bullpen dugouts at Tiger Stadium looked like WW II bunkers.
😂
Wow fifty three years ago and the quality is great. I’m impressed. I would watch anything from that long ago. Is this original color or colorized?
I believe it's original color.
@@petegoodwinboston4825 and Pete it was when Tiger Stadium seats were all green..In 1977 they replaced them with Blue and Orange plastic seats...I hated it!
@@GK-ev5rd Ha! Change in sports is sometimes hard to deal with. I hated it when the Patriots went away from their old uniforms!
And no one in the stands staring at their phones. You had no choice but to talk to other people or just - god forbid - pay attention to the game.
George Scott called his home runs "taters".
It's odd to see a pitcher wearing #27 for the Red Sox instead of Carlton Fisk. This was just the fourth major league game for Elliott Maddox, who was better known in later years as an outfielder.
That happened more than once to me when compiling the highlights, but a pitcher wearing No. 27 was definitely the most jarring!
I was just over a month old when this game was played.
I was 72.

You are correct, sir!
Absolutely Lolich should be in the HOF!! If he pitched for the Yankees they would have put him in a long time ago.
Agreed!
I forgot Lolich used to bat left- handed sometimes. In the 1968 World Series he hit his home run batting right!
It's a pretty wacky bit of trivia, isn't it?
@@petegoodwinboston4825 You are correct, sir. Some people might ask me how do I know that. I ask myself,Why do I know that?😆😆
oh yeah, I heard he swung both ways🏳🌈
@@rickybobby6579 🏳🌈
It’s weird how a lot of left handed hitting pitchers used to bat right handed. Then your pitching arm is more exposed to being hit by a pitch. Koufax used to bat right handed and was such a bad hitter you’d wonder why they didn’t just bat him left handed since he wasn’t going to get a hit anyway and at least his money arm was protected.
Lots of hometown scoring here. Ed Browalski was one of the biggest hometown scorers out there.
I didn't know that! The main Fenway guy, Chaz Scoggins, tried to play it fair, I think, but he always had players after him to change calls.
Mr. Browalski, of The Polish Daily News, as I recall!
@@Playbyplaymedia Indeed.
Lolich would be in the extreme top tier of pitchers today
As my 70 year old father likes to tell me, the game was better back then.
A lot better!
He was then too
Dick McCaullife from my hometown. Passed away a few years ago.
Good, hard-nosed player!
1970 a tough and difficult year for the Tigers. First Denny McClains suspension and then soon after his return he did a stupid thing in the locker room and got suspended again . GM Jim Campbell had enough and traded him to Washington.
I kinda liked McLain, mostly for his pitching. But then again I didn't have to put up with his shenanigans.
Tigers made out like bandits on that trade!

"Traded by Detroit Tigers with Don Wert, Norm McRae and Elliott Maddox to Washington Senators in exchange for Ed Brinkman, Aurelio Rodriguez, Joe Coleman and Jim Hannan (October 9, 1970)."

@@danieldecker2526 Hannan was a very highly touted pitcher at one time and could throw bullets. He was like Nolan Ryan when Ryan was on the Mets, but getting traded didn’t boost his career the way it did with Ryan.
