I was at this game and was 12 years old. Was with my late grandpa, one of the best memories of my life and can remember high fiving my grandpa and everyone around me like it was yesterday.
Was there with my dad. 16. 1st base side. Got the tickets off a friend who was grounded by his parents for not finishing a report. I will remember this until I’m gone.
there with also with my dad who passed away....lots of ghosts when you ride by where shea was but a lot of good memories.
I was also at this game. We sat at the literal top row. I had to leave by the 10th because I had school the next day so I missed this.
I wish I had been at this game, I watched every moment of it. game lasted nearly 6 hours (including the rain delay) It was a saturday, I did not leave the house. I wish my Dad had been there to watch with me, he passed away the previous year, he would have jumped for joy at the grand slam single
@@jfkisgr8 wow
Man did I love this team. The dunston at bat was epic
As a Cubs fan I used to love Dunston. Never short of enthusiasm.
No doubt a great moment in Mets history!!! Can't wait for the 2025 season to start. LETS GO METS!!!!
Dodgers will be there in October waiting again
Gotta love it. Tied for first place. Why not the Mets.
Dunston’s at bat is forgotten. Dude had a great at bat!
yes he did
They actually said it, it's others who forget
@@pimphandstrong6620 that’s what I was implying.
@@pimphandstrong6620 yeah, that’s what I was implying. That at bat was not talked about enough in the scheme of things.
Yup. Any 10+ pitch at bat is a good one.
Can’t believe I sat in the misty rain for hours . Well worth it LGM
I feel like there aren’t enough NBC MLB broadcasts going around. So much history just sitting.
It needs to return. Fox is awful
@ Well, they did have the Sunday morning game on Peacock for a season
Grand slam single. One of the best scenes I've witnessed as a Mets fan..
Even as a Chicagoan this was a sweet moment. Watching a former Cub and Sox at bat and coming up with the W. Both Ventura and Dunston hit quite a few slammers in their career. Plus I was a big Met lover.
I was there, SHEA WAS FUCKING ROCKIN
In the pouring rain the crowds back then before cell phone addiction, were so much more alive.
True
Good memories even though I'm red Sox fan
This guy
@@rightfootupleftfootslide1511what
?
Correct
Very bittersweet time in my life. While rooting hard for the Mets to somehow overcome the team that tortured them for decades, my Mom was slowly slipping away with terminal heart failure that would end her life on 12/16 at age 78. Hardest thing to do is be happy and sad at the same time.
Been there buddy.
My father a lifelong Tiger fan, and me too, passed away in Sept. of '84.
He knew they were gonna win it though.
Been there. Mom a huge Mets fan.
We’ve had some amazing moments. But for some reason we could never seal the deal. Props to Costas and Morgan great commentary
Was driving back home to Bayside, NY with friends from New Jersey listening to the game. Was on the George Washington Bridge when Ventura hit it. Everyone in the car went bananas. Almost drove off the bridge. Incredible memory.
I turned 5 just 5 days before this game. I don't have recollection of this game, but I do remember seeing the pride of the Mets in the air around town. My pops was always more of a Yankees fan in this era, but I bled blue and orange since birth.
What an phenomenal at bat from Dunston and the energy of the team and the crowd the moment the ball leaves Ventura's bat was insane. Thanks for sharing this historic walk-off. LGM.
Hours of rain, Ray Ordonez making the last out it seemed every inning, the fans in the stands never quit hoping. Doesn't matter that the Mets lost in Atlanta, my great memory AFTER the in-stand insanity was the echo and vibrations of Let's Go Mets chants going down the concrete ramps leaving Shea. Greatest memory in 55 years of attending live sports.
Even though they lost in Atlanta they still didn't give up even in that last game they fought back.
I feel you 🎉Fans resorted to 69 Mets Spirit
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE
IT AIN'T OVER TIL THE FAT LADY SINGS
Tug McGraw I believe
Let's Go Mets🎉
I'm a lifelong Yankee fan, but I come from a mix house-hold. My pops was from the Bronx, and my mother was from Flushing, so I got full exposure. I watched every inning of this marathon. It was a hell of a ride, and the catharsis in how it ended was magical. I'll never forget it. I love these moments. I'm always rooting for you guys... as long as you're not in OUR way. lol Y'all know we don't have to hate each others' teams right?
A true Yankee or Met fan NEVER wants the other team to win the world series
@@SLYCKRYK Tell me all about what makes a true fan. Since you're the arbiter of how its defined. lol
Beautiful swing, reminds me of Nolan Ryan's...
I had stopped following MLB in 1994 due to the strike that may have robbed the Expos of the WS. Had grown up in LA loving baseball thanks to Vin Scully's broadcasts. Moved to NYC in '93, and fell in love with these Mets in '99. The 2024 Mets felt like the descendants of this '99-2000 team. Scrappy, tough, lovable, never gives up!
#1 EXPO'S FAN HERE YOU BROUGHT ME TO TEARS BECAUSE THE 1994 EXPO'S DID GET ROBBED OF THAT WORLD SERIES AND POSSIBLY EVEN STAYING IN MONTREAL...IN MY VIEW THEY ARE THE 1994 WORLD CHAMPS THEY HAD THE BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL WHEN THEY WENT ON STRIKE...
Same here, I stopped going to games because of the 1994 strike
I c you are a glutton for punishment. La to ny. Was la as bad then as it is now
@Katherine-hg8rb Not sure what you mean. In the context of the Dodgers, there's no punishment at all. As for the rest, well...nowhere is safe.
@acey9997 so I wasn't talking about your baseball teams. La, is one of the worst cities in the country. So I thought it odd that you moved 3000 miles and ended up in the same type city. I was curious, when you were living in LA, was it more normal. Anyway. Stay safe
I was there too, greatest 1/2 inning of my life
The game that made me a Mets fan again, and a fan of baseball in general again. Great fucking memories!
Man listen to that crowd... can't wait til the snow is gone. God I love baseball
I remember this 😂 good times
I was little kid when I was at this game.... man I've gotten old
I miss Shea
Same like old Yankees stadium
Me too :(
Me too. Just baseball, hot dogs, making memories.
I still remember this in 2025! This was the ONLY time I cheered for the Mets as my dream of witnessing a subway series in NYC. The fact that The Mets beat the Braves was icing. Great time to be a baseball fan in NYC.
Yeah but it didn’t happen for a year later
@ lol. I’ll spell it out - in 1999 during the NLCS, this game in particular, I cheered for the Mets winning because it was close to having a Subway Series only for the Amazin’s to fall short to get to the Fall Classic. It would have been the First Subway Series since ‘56. As a New Yorker it would also have been my first experience that year but I had to wait another year.
@@AyeAye-Ron Yeah that’s what I said, it didn’t happen till a year later
@@johndurrer7869 I’ll pray for you
@@AyeAye-Ron gee thanks buddy
The 90s were a greeat time to be Ventura... Robin ventura, Jesse ventura, Ace ventura.
One of the most memorable moments in Mets history!
I remember watching this live on tv. I also taped it and watched it over and over again, it was so exciting.
I am a big Yankees fan and the Mets are my national league squad. The best memories that I have are with the 86 and 99 Mets.
2015 was magical 2024 was magical but the 1999 team was my all time favorite I was too young for both championship teams
One of the reasons we love baseball. Incredible game and inning.
That energy was ⚡️ electric
Shea Stadium just sounded different I miss Shea but Citi Field was rocking in 2024
I w 0:51 as in upper decks with 5 friends. Greatest game ever!!! Was at all playoffs games that season. The good old days.
We will Win a WS this decade
We will win a WS this year. ❤
I remember this game. The Braves won the series but then lost four straight to the New York Yankees in the World Series.
Under the circumstances, Dunston’s at bat was incredible. And conversely Mcglinchy was just as incredible in loading up the strike zone/
It’s amazing when watching these games, how much older the players look compared to today.
That was incredible
God I miss Shea…
Same
That seams like yesterday! What a great game that was.
I was a little boy, watching it live, I miss MLB on NBC.
@@hectorlopez1069 Me too
Nostalgic
This needed to be posted with Gary Thorne’s call be real.
Nice to see Shawon! Absolute rocket arm at short all those years for the Cubs, great memories. Edit to add, I commented before Morgan and Costas said the same thing 😂
Robin is the only MLB player ever to sign their card and send it back in the mail I sent him a whole bunch of cards and he signed his rookie card where he is in his OSU uniform. 👍👍
Wow !!! Incredible
I was on LSD watching this game. Buddy left came back 2 hours later same score. Best game I've ever seen
A 5 hour 47 minute Trip to bedlam
The stupid part of this was the players on first and second along with Robin Ventura never ran the bases so despite the final score showing 7 to 3 it was officially 4 to 3 final. Robin was robbed of his official Grand Slam stat and it was ruled a single. Cant believe none of the players or managers told them all to run the bases after celebrating. I get they won the game and the series afterwards but that is a stat he deserved to have.
I still don't understand why they didn't all round the bases and why the team didn't just meet them at the plate. Even when we win, we lose.
They should of celebrated when Ventura stepped on home plate to make it a grand slam homerun.
atlanta won the series
I remember this game!!
remember watching a show on espn about compulsive sports gamblers . the guy they interviewed was down 20 thousand dollars to try and get out of the hole he bet 20 grand on the over in this game. because ventura never made it around the bases and it was ruled a grand slam single only the winning run counted and he lost the bet BRUTAL!!!
No matter what else he does, to me, Robbin Ventura is a Nolan Ryan punching bag.
I remember Dunston's phenomenal arm as a Chicago Cub. Fantastic infielder.
Dunston taking a base head first with no oven mitt. Natural look. Good sacrifice bunt! You don’t see that much anymore either. I can’t wait for MLB to start. But it is interesting to watch these older games. Small differences.
Leo Mazzone is still rockin'
This team punched way above its weight for those couple of years
The Mets would ultimately have the upper hand on this night.
But as is so typical of the extra challenges this NY Mets team has faced historically, you will note the very localized rain storm raging at the plate, while not a drop was falling out at the mound.
Only The Mets. 🌧️ ⚾️
Super cool moment in Met history. But ABs sure were longer than I remember. Glad for today’s pitch clock for sure.
I was there at the beginning of the 1969 Mets. 🎉I know that laid the foundation for Victory for Mets in the future. At 16 min, loved the sign 1969 to get the momentum further. Then the signs you YOU GOTTA BELIEVE by Tug McGraw! I watched 69 Mets with my elder foster father outside on the TV or listened on the am fm radio while laying on the grass🎉In 1999, I was in another country as a Medical Doctor and never got the chance to see this. Glad I did now! I feel a connecting spirit of 1969, 1999 and now 2025! Thank you New York fans of both times in history. Congratulations 🎊 Players of this time. As a person of Empathy I feel for the pitcher of Atlanta. I hope he understands there are good days and off days and was able to have a good career. Every decision by the Mets here was YOU GOTTA BELIEVE, Don't Give Up and IT AIN'T OVER TIL THE FAT LADY SINGS, I believe Tug McGraw said as well. That spirit inspired me in helping my patients and others🌏🙏🏽
Nolan Ryan won a ring with the 1969 Mets.
It’s amazing I don’t remember none of the details just the results!
As a Mets fan, hate the fact that we have to "squeeze" some joy out of moments that in the total picture are actually miserable:It was miserable to have Piazza due to injury not be able to ever do much for the Mets in the playoffs and thats why they were down 3-0 in this series, it was miserable losing to the Braves the way they did in game 6, and was miserable losing next year to the Yankees in 5 games in the World Series
feels this is the curse of the Mets fan. Even going back to '86, a sort of bittersweet title, because that should've been the beginning of a dynasty that the front office preemptively capped. Hell, even Doc Gooden not showing up at teh parade is analagous to that special torment. I just hope they winning another one while I'm alive. I was too young to even digest sports when they won in 86.
2:20
rest peacefully daryl hamilton
25% of this is Dunston fouling off pitches 😂
NBC had the best baseball coverage going all the way back into the 1980’s. Great play by play and analysis. Their games of the week showed every team, including the Canadian teams, Toronto Blue Jays and Montreal Expos, not just the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers. FOX is awful. They seem to only care about a handful of teams, their announcers are horrible and never shut up, and they disrespect Canada at the All-Star game by cutting to commercial during the Canadian National Anthem. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver made FOX broadcasts tolerable. Now they are awful. John Smoltz, shut up once in a while.
Costas talks about building tension. With pitch clocks, limited step offs and limited mound visits, some of that tension has been lost in favor of just getting the thing over.
Ventura is a good player. I remember I had his rookie card as a kid. Back then he was with the white socks
That draft pick card is s staple of My childhood PC. Not because he was the greatest or best, but because it was one of my first cards ever.
*White Sox
@@gt_mustang_mark oh right sorry haha
He charged the mound to fight Nolan Ryan when he got hit by a pitch from Ryan.
God, I miss Shea 😮💨
23:51
i tell gamblers about this game all the time, the game would have went over the total if he ran around the bases,this never happened again
Unfortunately I remember it well
I just made a comment about that. I would be so furious if I bet the over on this.
I truly think if you asked 1000 fans about this game, at least 750 of them would think this won the series. Or at least that the METS won the series eventually. This is kind of the Mets in a nutshell. Prolonging the agony for 2 more days.
I'm gonna part skies and part seas 😂❤
Bobby V the man.
I was there !!!! Right "behind" home plate, upper deck, two rows before the last row, so I had a overhang above me protecting me from the rain. What a game !!!!
21:07 Bill Buckner catching strays, sheesh
Pete Alonso is a dufus version of Darrell Evans
Go Tribe!
I was selling beer in the stands in Atlanta that year
I wish Gary Thorne was commentating to hear GOODBYE! HOMERUN!
I’m a Royals fan but the Mets were impressive last season. And with the acquisition of Soto you all will be dangerous.
Year?
I loved this team. I think they woud have beaten the Yankees in the world series.
They couldn't the next world series when they lost in 5 games to the yanks.
I was there!
I’m a big Mets fan but why didn’t Bobby Cox took the the pitcher out and put a left hander in to pitch to Ventura. The game was on Cox
To degree but was probably thinking big picture in series
'...why didn't Bobby Cox _take_ the pitcher...'
He’s a Dodger for life.
My late father was a Mets fan.
Commentators:
Bob Costas & Joe Morgan.
I like Joe Morgan
The final score of the game was 4-3 instead of 7-3...
The over/under was 7.5...
I had bet the over...
I lost a TV that day...
Can we have some news on pete
rewatching this all these years later makes me thankful for the pitch clock.
Dumb comment
Best part of this entire episode was that they "mysteriously" changed the official score to 4-3 when the O/U was 7.5. Yeah, I'm sure the scorer had absolutely no action on the game....
Because the mets didn't let ventura touch home plate after the homerun.
1999 should've been the Subway series. That 99 team in my opinion, was better than the team that made it the next year. Walking in the series winning run was nasty work. I still haven't gotten over that season.
Yankees would of still beat the Mets in the 99 world series if the Mets won the series.
@@hectorlopez1069 Probably. That 99 team was an all timer.
NLCS with grampa. Does not get any better. Unless your Mets walk it off! You had me at ballgame with Grampa.
It's not a single. It's a homerun.
Still have to touch every base.
I'm Moses I'm Moses ❤😂
RIP Vin
Throwback Baseball!!!
Imagine bunting with Edgardo Alfonzo in today's game
The guy below always says he "was at this game."
Robyn hit two Grannys in one game when he was with the white Sox
PRetty sure the same fan could have caught like 6 foul balls from Dunston's at bat.
Bobby Valentine is such a weirdo
lol. I was young in the 80's and didn't realize he'd already worked for the club under Davey Johnson.
He also coach in Japan too.
