That’s what happens when you’re a baseball fan first. I’m here for it. As an orioles fan, I hate the Yankees. But I respect the greats. Jeter, Posada, Judge, Mattingly. Of course there’s plenty more. But I’m with you dude. A true baseball fan knows greatness when they see it, regardless of team colors.
all of those people running backwards were likely way too late to get to that thing. it probably bounced to the warehouse over there, so there probably was people already much closer
You were the only one that believed in him. Everyone else said "he's too small" "he doesn't have major league bat speed or power" but you stuck by him and now you're vindicated. You recognized his greatness when the powers that be wanted to trade him for cash. Kudos sir.
But bittersweet. Looks like we Westburg hit by pitch to set it up broke his hand. Their thinking 4 to 6 weeks best case. That's s big loss, injuries are killing us!
@Edwardsjm Get you didn't know that MLB balls have trackers in them now just like NFL footballs...Plus I guarantee they know EXACTLY who has that ball.
It’s a Happy Holliday in BirdLand! Just Remember: Something Magic happens! Every time you go! You make the Magic happen! The Magic of Orioles Baseball!!!
Never saw the O's live but fondly remember Brooks Robinson defying physics at 3rd base. Great era, great players, this kid will keep the tradition going.
That will build your confidence in a hurry. Especially having to battle with two strikes, that kind of composure and confidence is what separates big leaguers from the rest.
Loved watching this. I was jumping up and down in my living room. He looks like such a kid, especially during the curtain call. I hope everyone understands why this guy was never considered as a trade chip.
Its what ive said all along "in due time" the kid is talented. People are so fast to form a useless negative opinion and come to regret their word once things get better. Jackson is gonna be great, future hall of famer 100%. Badass grand slam 🤟🤟🤟
O’s fans were waiting for him to come out of his shell. He struggled his first stint up early in the season, this was his first game back up with the team. Great kid. We like him.
Two things: 1) Notice how he pulled his head on that second pitch, but kept his eyes on the ball all the way into the bat on the home run. 2) As Mike Krukow would say, "He got both cheeks into that one." Beautiful moonshot.
First the other day a youngin hits a home run and of all people his mom's caught it not this youngin hitting a slam after being called up this is what's great about baseball always a great story
Think the pitcher knew it was a home run as soon as it hit the heart of the bat too! Very glad to see it, was definitely hoping he'd do well in his return!
For those that are unaware: 36 years ago Cal Ripken Sr was the Orioles manager, and even though he was widely known as the father of Baltimore baseball, pioneer of The Oriole Way and staple of the community loved by fans all across the country, he was fired after a 6 game losing streak in 1988. The Orioles would go on to lose 15 more games and set a new AL record with 21 straight losses. Shortly thereafter, Billy Ripken would join the Orioles and don the #7 worn by his father. After Billy, the #7 would become the “unretired, retired number” of the Orioles organization. Well, fast forward 36 years later and Jackson Holliday would make his debut with the Baltimore Orioles, and is very clearly going to be a perennial MVP caliber talent. As Jackson makes his first splash on the scene, the Chicago White Sox are simultaneously on the brink of break the 1988 record held by the Orioles, a record they will break before midnight tonight. Finally. You might be asking yourself, why this year? What makes this year special? Well normally I’d say, the fact that the Orioles had a very disappointing October last year after being the 1st overall seed of the AL which always leads to immense playoff success in all sports with great teams like this great, young team in Baltimore. But, the fact of the matter is, just before Opening Day this season, David Rubenstein officially took over ownership of the Baltimore Orioles, ending a 30+ year reign of terror from the Angelos family, and guess who was a member of that group that purchased the Orioles with Rubenstein? You guessed it, Cal Ripken Jr. the iron man, the one and only, the King of Orioles Baseball, and hero to the city of Baltimore and baseball alike, after his saving of MLB during the 1994 strike via his consecutive games streak which owners and players chose to end the strike to avoid ending Cal’s streak after he publicly stated he would not play if the owners brought in minor league and B grade players to fill out rosters and start the 1995 season without the true major league players. You’re welcome baseball, and this is our reward, a dynasty. This is just going to be the second year of what will become known as the current dynasty baseball over the next 15 seasons. The Baseball Gods Are With Us! Love you, miss you Senior, you’re with us always!!
Trade rumors are completely dismissed, welcome to the show young holliday! He literally set that entire at bat up, anyone notice his head nod after the 2nd pitch? He told rodriguez, don't throw another heater buddy
the smirk. he def felt on top of the world but wanted to stay composed. what a feeling it must be
Who can forget Hank Aaron smirking?
439ft, First career home run, baseball is such a beautiful sport. What a way to smash ur way back into the bigs 💯
“The happiest of Holidays!” 🧡🖤
😂
@@GHOST91141them colors tho…
I love Kevin Brown.
That DEI hire out in Oakland would have never came up with something like that in the fly
Kevin Brown is the best.
I'm a Yankees fan but I'm cheering on for this kid. I feel like he gots lots of potential
Mad respect my friend

Ur the first one to not hate because he’s popular thanks
Wyatt Langford is better
They mentioned this fact during the broadcast. Jackson Holiday is younger than the top 8 drafted this year.
The fact that they played Eminem's "Lose Yourself" as he stepped out of the box right before he hit the Grand Slam is too epic.
No. Didn’t need the music, didn’t need the bat flip. 439 foot grand slam is sufficient
Eminem made it epic 😆 🤣 😂 🤣🤣 GTFOH nothing epic about em but Holliday welcome home young man
Why?
@@willard2729shut up weirdo
@@johnlee5799just highest selling rapper of all time but nothing epic🤷🏻♂️🇺🇲
Everyone wanted that ball 💀 congrats to holiday on hitting his first homerun
all of those people running backwards were likely way too late to get to that thing. it probably bounced to the warehouse over there, so there probably was people already much closer
@@GolfingBobby-it1ls yup lol, I’m happy it went to a kid

@@erikbrown207 exactly
Congratulations kid! Welcome back to The Show in grand fashion!
You can tell he has built confidence since the first call up.
Great for the kid!
God I love the sound of a crowd during a big play
Crushed it bro congratulations Jax and many more to come.
I love it. Well done.
OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR JACKSON!!!!!!!!! AWESOME JOB!!!!!!
Suddenly this Orioles team has become even more dominant
That is one special lineup! As a dodgers fan I hope we don’t ever have to run into you guys in October lol.
@@enshk79 I’m not an Orioles fan. Just appreciating how stacked their lineup is
I’m from Baltimore and if I caught that ball. I’d go give it right to him!!!! 👏 👏 👏 congratulations bro!!!!
Then you're a fool lol I'd set up my kids future with it
They have to give the ball to him anyways
Bet you he’d exchange a bat or jersey for it. Win/Win
He did.
The kid and his dad met backstage and traded his HR ball for his bat, so cool, checkout the video!
But bittersweet.
Looks like we Westburg hit by pitch to set it up broke his hand.
Their thinking 4 to 6 weeks best case.
That's s big loss, injuries are killing us!
The pitcher certainly knew that wasn't going to end well. It looks like he said "GOD Dammit!"
Jackson's and Baltimore go well together. 🧡 🤍 🖤 💜 🖤
Great job kid, God bless!
That’s just awesome dude. So happy for the kid
Orioles fans have been treated to so much magic this season and they deserve all of it
but now that westburg broke his hand, it is going to be really hard to win the division
@@GolfingBobby-it1lsnope we just get something better
What a massive HR... qué buen chingadazo le puso a esa pitcheada!! Welcome back to the bigs Jackson!!
Loved his Dad in STL and so happy for the kid! Keep rocking em', bud!!!
20 yrs old folks. He's gonna be a monster player for a loooooong time!
That ball was smoked, jeez! 😮
If I caught that ball I’m fleeing Baltimore and setting up a cash deal with legal representation lolol
🤣🤣🤣
You'd get nothing. It has to be authenticated first.
@Edwardsjm Get you didn't know that MLB balls have trackers in them now just like NFL footballs...Plus I guarantee they know EXACTLY who has that ball.
@@farpointgamingdirect do they? Sounds like a lie
@@farpointgamingdirect Did you miss the whole Ohtani saga earlier this year? The ball is worth zilch until it's authenticated
It’s a Happy Holliday in BirdLand! Just Remember:
Something Magic happens!
Every time you go!
You make the Magic happen!
The Magic of Orioles Baseball!!!
If the game is close
And The O's are hot
There is a rumble of thunder from 34 to give all they got
the sweet science of hitting, what a beautiful effortless swing. wow
Congrats Jackson!! What a BOMB!!!!
Whoever got that home run ball is a very happy person rn
Honestly, if I was lucky enough to get that ball I would want to make sure that it was returned to him.
@@randysmith4331and it was, video of Holliday meeting the kid to exchange some stuff for the ball was posted not long ago.
It was crushed! Many would just give up but he forged ahead and came back swinging for the fences. Nice job young Holiday! 👏 ⚾️ 🐦
Greatest moment I’ve personally witnessed at an Orioles game. Absolutely blessed to have been able to witness this.
Never saw the O's live but fondly remember Brooks Robinson defying physics at 3rd base. Great era, great players, this kid will keep the tradition going.
Baseball can still give chills.
He looks a lot stronger now as well he’s so young kinda forget he’s still gonna grow
Nice to see something real for a change👍
What a sound coming off the bat
That will build your confidence in a hurry. Especially having to battle with two strikes, that kind of composure and confidence is what separates big leaguers from the rest.
He looks like a child , but has grown man strength crazy
I was at this game it was awesome to see! Great job Holliday!
Absolutely awesome!
I love Orioles baseball, Always have always will.
Let s go Orioles
That’s cool happy for Jackson
Way to go Holiday. I graduated from OSU in 1991 and love the Holiday family. Good luck son👍
Loved watching this. I was jumping up and down in my living room. He looks like such a kid, especially during the curtain call. I hope everyone understands why this guy was never considered as a trade chip.
Thrilled for this guy. So much expectation, and to get sent down and then earn his way back up, and then this... so deserved.
Shoutout to all the haters in April saying this kid was a bust. One game in and he hits a grand slam.
"Haters." So 90s.
@@Anthony-hu3rj lol people say that all the time and u just mad cuz u were one of them
@Anthony no one said haters in the 90s
I love it. What a comeback story!!!
Those home unis are looking classic. ~ Tigers fan
Awesome he turns out good we are set offensively we already are honestly but nice addition 👍
That's my boy!
Always rooted for J. Holliday. Great welcome back slam
I can get used to this!! 🤩👏🏽

That pitch was uncalled for on an 0-2 count.
Was on Eutaw st when he hit it buying some BBQ…landed about 25 ft from me…was a BLAST
Congrats Jackson 🎉
That was a beautiful swing😮
85mph floater over the center of the plate - batter friendly pitch
I’m a Yankees fan but this was epic for him. Great job kid!
Happy for the kid!
Them boys was fighting for the ball
I cant wait to see this boys win it all
he’s got his swag back
Two things:
1) Notice how he pulled his head on that second pitch, but kept his eyes on the ball all the way into the bat on the home run.
2) As Mike Krukow would say, "He got both cheeks into that one." Beautiful moonshot.
Man, the Blue Jays pitcher was NOT HAPPY.
He served it up to him on a platter
hung that slider. i would have gone back upstairs with a heater just above the zone tbh
They need to give Kevin a raise. Dude has the best calls.
Jackson Holiday I knew it I knew it you are the man🧡🖤🧡🖤
It's been a rough start to his Major league stint, but hopefully this is the kind of thing to help motivate him. Keep grinding young blood
Way to go kid !

At least you’re not a White Sox fan
@@metaldams78 on god fam
Everyone running after the ball got me weak 💀 😂
before this game i bet coaching told him if he wants to step in the box again he has to take the first pitch lmaooo... this kid is a save though
I'm sure Zack Hample was out there somewhere trying to catch it :)
Can’t help but notice that he looks 15 lol I’m having “Rookie of the year” vibes hahahah “Henry! Henry! Henry! Henry!” Hahahah
109 off the bat holy
His cards are gonna go nuts now. Baltimore is setup to win
Sweet!
NICE HIT!
Happy Holiday
He looks so young.
Trade rumors are completely dismissed, welcome to the show young holliday! He literally set that entire at bat up, anyone notice his head nod after the 2nd pitch? He told rodriguez, don't throw another heater buddy
1st of many! Let's go O's!
Matt Holliday must be so proud of his son.
Magic Magic Orioles Magic
That will always come first on his highlight reel.
Great! Ah still batting .079
Kid looks like he's 12 , very impressive
I think Johnny Damon's first big league home run was a Grand slam in Tampa Bay when he was with Kansas City
Holiday,, celebrate⚾️⚾️⚾️♥️
Out of curiosity what if the family wanted to keep the ball could they still get it authenticated at the stadium?
I hope he was able to get the ball.
He looks like a high school guy playing in MLB
yup.... ya don't trade that.
