Your homework project now will have to be the research of the movie "Field of Dreams." You will then understand the meaning of the venue of the ballpark in the middle of the corn field. MLB staged a couple games on the movie set. Kevin Costner film.
The “wheat field” you guys mentions is actually based on a book and movie, Field of Dreams, where a guy builds a baseball field in the middle of his corn field. The whole thing is pretty iconic and legendary so the MLB decided to recreate the field and have one game played a year on the field to commemorate the legend. It started in 2021 and it’s a pretty awesome scene to play at and watch.
If they haven’t seen that movie, they should do a reaction. I think, just for an insight into baseball’s place in the American psyche, a steady diet of baseball movies are a great idea.
I just hate that my Rangers were on the wrong side of that. It was truly a great inning and incredibly memorable but that inning BROKE my team for so many years.
That was the wildest inning of baseball I have ever witnessed in my life, it’s crazy that Joey’s bat flip was so dope we forget about the chaos that led to it
@@gamingeagle19 it was a coming together of 2 massive fanbases of long time droughts of playoff appearances or playoff letdowns, one felt like the league was cheating their country, the other felt that that their team couldn't get it done when they got there. Probably the wildest inning of baseball I've ever seen. You couldn't write a more dramatic series or inning for the movies.
Glad I discovered you guys. That "wheat field" is actually a corn field. This baseball venue was built by MLB in the middle of nowhere in Iowa, the location of an iconic baseball film "Field of Dreams" starring Kevin Costner, Ray Liota and James Earl Jones. In the movie Costner's character is a farmer in Iowa and he keeps hearing a voice saying "if you build it they will come". So he builds a baseball field in the middle of his corn field. Much more to it than that of course. Fantastic movie.
Hey, thank you so much for this. We’ve started doing uncut movie watches within our Patreon as we cannot put these on UA-cam. We’ve done Moneyball already and September’s Poll is currently out which has Field of Dreams currently winning to be next! 🤞
Recommendation. Watch “the 7th Inning” from 2015 between Toronto and Texas. One of the most insane games in playoff history. Toronto has some of the loudest fans in the league and this is the best example of it
If you notice, almost all of these games are during the playoffs. Most of the season baseball is very relaxed and laid back, but it gets crazy during September and October if you're one of the teams involved in the playoff hunt. My team hasn't been in the playoffs for almost a decade now, so it's really hard to get excited when they get eliminated from contention by July and you still have over a month of 30-40 games still left to play.
@@DNReacts On most of the clips in this video, the game series and game number is shown somewhere on the screen. “Wild Card” decides who makes it to the division series, “NLDS” is National League Division Series, “ALDS” is American League Division Series. Winners of those go to the conference championships (“NLCS”and “ALCS”). Then, of course, the “World Series”
MLB has two very special games each year. One is the "Field of Dreams" game which is the one with the cornfield (corn, not wheat). During the pre-game introductions, the players walk out of that field just like they do in the movie of the same name. The 2nd special game is held in Williamsport, PA during the Little League World Series. The Little League players all watch the big leaguers play. Both games do count as regular season games for the participating teams.
I just love baseball highlights. It was my favorite sport to play growing up in San Diego. So many great memories of opening day, getting my first strike out, hitting home runs and stealing bases. I also remember the pain of giving up a home run, throwing wild pitches and walking batter after batter and getting pulled from a game early. Yeah, baseball can humble you sometimes. I wish you guys could really experience playing this game because it is probably even more enjoyable when you can relate to what the players are going through from your own experiences. I'm over 60 and I can still go out there and throw strikes.⚾⚾
The "Field of Dreams" cornfield in 2021 -- magical in every way, from the intro with Kevin Costner, the players emerging, a high scoring close game....
An underrated situation is when your team is scoreless going into the later innings, and they finally get on the board. Just imagine being in the stands slamming beers for 6-7 innings then your guys start to rally. Such a great feeling.
For the best baseball heroics you need to do a David Ortiz reaction, particularly one that includes his speech after the Boston marathon bombing. Real goosebumps stuff
My Tigers had a great run of seasons from 2006-2014 but came up short in the WS a couple of times. The video of Magglio was from 2006, 2 or 3 years prior to that season they almost broke the record for most losses in a season, it was an incredible turnaround. Fun times but also bad memories for us and now we just suck lmao
Yea that Blue Jays crowd is probably the loudest in the league when it comes playoff time - they really go insane over everything, you could see the cameras shaking from the noise levels.
The Javy Baez Home run in game 1 of the NLDS against the Giants was the loudest and happiest moment of my life. I was at that game. Both starting pitchers were absolutely unhittable the entire game. Only Baez was hitting the ball hard all day and the wind was absolutely whipping straight in from the outfield. Basically everyone knew that if he didn't do anything that at bat then they wouldn't be able to do anything offensively. Off the bat it looked like it was going to hit the building across the street, but because the wind was blowing so hard, no one could be sure if it would be a home run or not. The split second before the ball landed it was absolutely silent. I was close enough to hear the "thunk" when the ball landed. The second it landed it was pure pandemonium. Everyone was just screaming themselves hoarse. That moment really made it feel like they could win it all that year, and they did. P.S. If you want to see some truly monstrous home runs, look up Dave Kingman's and Glenallen Hill's longest home runs at Wrigley. The latter is probably the hardest anyone has ever hit a baseball.
You asked about the backstory for the Texas Rangers vs Toronto Blue Jays game. You'd need a thesis to get the entire background, so I highly suggest you watch the video: "The Inning Capped Off By Jose Bautista's Iconic Home Run Was Just Flat-Out INSANE!" It's by Stark Raving Sports. He helps put the proper context behind the 7th inning that you might lose out on if you just watch the shorter clipped version of the 7th inning.
The WBC crowds were actually INSANE. You just happened to watch some of the least heralded matchups haha. But seriously check out any of the semifinal or final matchups, or any group stages matches in Taiwan and Tokyo, and any game with Latin American teams like Puerto Rico, Mexico, Dominican Republic. They were for my money much crazier than MLB
Loving these baseball reactions! I know quite a few people have mentioned it already in previous videos, but I think you should really bump the Seattle Mariners docuseries by Secret Base up on the list. It's a 6 part series, each episode about 40 minutes long, so definitely more of a commitment, but I promise you guys won't regret it. It's honestly one of the best sports documentaries ever made (and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Mariners fan). It's definitely like nothing you guys have ever seen before.
Life long cubs fan here, if you haven't watched it already i recommend watching game seven of the 2016 WS. i might be biased but it was one of the greatest games ive ever seen. 108 years since they won it last and the crowd went absolutely nuts after the last out.
A new Cubs fan! Welcome to the family. Love your reactions guys. I'm a Cubs season ticket holder, and you have a seat ready whenever you are ready to make the pilgrimage.
My favorite MLB crowd reaction I’ve witnessed in person was at 2015 home run derby in Cincinnati. Todd Frazier won the derby in front of his home fans and the stadium felt like it was shaking from the upper deck seats I was in. Probably the best moment I’ve had as a Reds fan. Since you guys like bat cracks you would probably like watching home run derby highlights there’s some special moments from the event. It takes place the day before the all star game in July.
I’m biased but the 2014 & 2015 royals were the most fun baseball team to watch ever! They played a style from a bygone area and fought against the trends of the modern game and made it work and it was incredible to see. Foolish Baseball has a video called Royal Ball that’s all about those teams and their unique style. You should check it out you’ll learn a lot about the strategies or the modern game and how it used to be different
That last game between the Cubs and the Indians was incredible. Both teams had the longest World Series draughts in MLB. I believe the Indians at the time had not won it in 70ish years and the Cubs had not won in 108 years. There was a lot of tension throughout the series with a lot of call and response home runs. Truly incredible
@@DNReacts Don't expect the kind of energy you saw here in a regular season game in London as you would in a post season game in Bronx! One of the other British people react to baseball guys is campaigning to get to go to the US to see a game and raising funds for it! You guys should do the same :).
One of the best crowd reactions (I am biased) that wasn’t included here (because it happened last October) was the Padres in the National League Divisional Series game 4. The Padres and Dodgers are division rivals but all season the Dodgers had beaten up the Padres and on top of that the Dodgers had their best regular season ever. The way the game was going it looked like LA was going to beat SD once again. It was 3-0 with heavy rain. In certain situations if the rain to too heavy the rain will be called early. But in the bottom of the 7th the Padres scored 5 runs without ever getting a home run. In the 9th inning our pitcher had to face 3 of the best batters in the league in order to win. He struck all of them out in the pouring and the crowd was going absolutely nuts. As a Padres fan for the past 20 years there haven’t been many highlights while rooting for them but that was beautiful. My father grew up in the 80s and 90s watching them have great players so he got to watch great moments (no championships though, since SD hasn’t won one yet) but I was glad to watch that with him
Yes, most of these games are from the post season playoffs, those with the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs coming in 2016, where eventually the Cubs won the World Series. The last time previous to this either team made it to the World Series for the Indians was 1948 and the Cubs 1908. So both teams fans were very enthusiastic in 2016 after so long a drought in Championships. Desperate fans can be very loud when the game favors them for a change. Another thing to remember is that these teams are playing the best in seven game series, by game 5,6, and 7 fans cheer on every good play.
At 11:05, there is a homerun on the field where the movie Field of Dreams was filmed. MLB holds one game each year there. Fans love the atmosphere and the cornfield behind the outfiled wall.
I would strongly strongly urge you guys to watch a video on the story behind the cubs 2016 WS win! Given that you'll be following the Cubbies this year, it would provide some awesome historical context to that win and how they ended the longest drought in professional US sports.
Cole I agree! God that was the best day of my life!! I cried. The pain Cub fans went through for years to finally get there. Down 3-1 in the series and we came back and won it all in the 10th. God I still watch highlights and still cry about it. 108 YEARS! The longest drought in the history of American Sports was over!! Guys you gotta watch highlights and fan reactions.
1979 Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series had some of the greatest crowds. They were also one of the most memorable teams ever. A documentary on the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates is worth a watch.
@@westhoodqualzini7884 Agree. Most of the videos show only clips from the last 5-10 years at the most. The 70s and 80s must seem prehistoric to the creators of these videos.
Context for each clip: 0:19 - First out/Strikeout of 2015 World Series game 3 0:29 - Tying home run in the 8th inning of game 7 of the 2016 World Series, but it wouldn’t matter and the cubs would win to Nick’s delight 1:13 - Lindor’s grand slam in game 2 of the ALDS that kept them in the game where they would win in 13 innings 1:30 Jose Bautista’s 3 run home run in the deciding game 5 of the ALDS and the most iconic bat flip ever, would recommend checking out a video on this called the craziest inning ever 2:54 Yes, the same game, and this was a hit that led to the home run by Bautista 3:12 Also the same game, a crucial call in the inning that led to everything else previously stated 3:28 I’m gonna be honest and say I have no idea why this was here😂, if someone could tell me that would be great 3:51-4:35 Game 5 of the previous Indians Yankees series with crucial hits in the 3rd inning that got the Indians back in it 4:36-5:34 Same game as the Lindor Slam more clutch Indians hits 6:00 A walk off home run by Edwin Encarnacion that sent the Blue Jays to the ALDS 6:21 Another Encarnacion home run, this one in the previous stated ALDS game 5 6:46 David Bote’s walk off grand slam for Nick’s cubbies 7:09 Bird’s home run in again the 2017 ALDS series Yankees vs Indians, put the Yankees on top for good. 7:41 Montero’s grand slam in game 1 of the NLCS for the cubbies that pretty much sealed the game 7:57 Fowler went back to back with Montero to make it 8-3 8:14 A special game for Lindor in his home country of Puerto Rico and of course he hit a home run 8:54 A clutch strikeout in the 9th inning of a playoff series between the Blue Jays and Indians 8:58 The moment the Cubs made the World Series in 2016 9:19 Gurriel’s 3 run tying home run in a very important game 5 of the 2017 World Series 9:38 Same game, Altuve with ANOTHER 3 run tying home run, would recommend watching a video of this game too, a crazy game even though it is ruined by knowing that the Astros cheated 9:58 Clutch diving catch in the 2017 ALCS AND a double play on top of it that avoided another possible run for the Yankees which might have won the yanks the game 10:35 Same game, but the walk off home run that sent the Astros to the World Series and just makes the double play more clutch 11:05 Clutch home run in the “Field of Dreams” game 11:36 Same game, but the walkoff home run by Tim Anderson 12:33 Big Papi’s game tying Grand Slam in game 2 of the 2013 ALCS 13:03 Javi Baez’s clutch game winning home run in game 1 of the NLDS for the Cubbies 13:29 Same game as 9:19, but a clutch home run that put the Astros up 3 14:00 Fans chatting Johnny Cuetos name made him drop the ball and then give up this home run to Russel Martin in the Wild Card game 15:09 Didi Gregorious’ game tying home run in the 2017 wild card game 15:27 Eric Hosmer’s clutch RBI single that sent the Royals to the World Series 15:54 First pitch of the 2015 World Series for the royals, and it was an inside the park home run, super rare and cool moment 16:25 Gillespies clutch RBI triple that won the Giants game 3 of the NLDS 17:28 The moment the Royals went to the World Series in 2015 17:43 Walk off home run that sent the tigers to the World Series 18:04 Piazza hits a walk off home run in the first home game for the New York Mets since 9/11 19:18 Walk off home run for the Dodgers in the 2021 Wild Card game 19:44 Correa clutch home run that sent the Astros to the ALCS 20:11 A home run that put the game away in game 3 of the NLDS for the Mets 20:49 A home run that put the Mets up 2-1 in game 3 of the World Series
3:12 is actually 2022 opening day in Toronto the first full capacity game since the COVID outbreak at Rogers Centre Lourdes Gurriel and Teoscar Hernandez weren't on that 2015 team
18:04 that’s not what that home run was. That’s Mike Piazza’s 3 run homer in the bottom of the 8th to cap a 10 run inning in June of 2000. The home run in the Mets first home game after 9/11 was to straight center, also in the bottom of the 8th.
19:44 this home run by Correa was a moot point The Royals rallied, and an error by him sent the series back to Kansas City, which ended in Houston's defeat
There is nothing like the TENSION of a 2+ hour playoff game. Each pitch has thousands of people's blood pressure through the roof. When something big happens, that TENSION turns into NOISE
Great video to react to - I've watched many baseball highlight clips but i've never seen this one - it shows how electric the playoffs/world series really is after a typically long, slow-moving season. MLB at its best.
The older video where Mike Piazza hit a home run down the line and the fans went crazy was the first game played in New York after 9/11, and was one of the most memorable regular season games ever. The reason why you see such huge reactions especially for the Indians and the Cubs is because both fan bases are super hungry for a World Series since they hadn't had one for a long time, but the reality is that playoff baseball is a magical experience, and big moments in meaningful games are something to be treasured.
As a Cubs fan I feel like the 2016 playoffs had a very loud crowd. Both the NLCS and World Series had incredible atmospheres with the cubs getting their first World Series win at home since the early 1900’s. Suggest you check our their postseason highlights.
The Detroit Tigers were a good team for almost a decade since 2006 and had one of the highest payrolls in the league after the Yankees and Red Sox. They went to the World Series in 2006 and 2012, but unfortunately lost both of them. That home run you saw was by Magglio Ordonez in 2006, one of our better hitters in the lineup that was hot that game. He hit a homerun in the 6th inning to tie the game and then that clip you watched was a 3-run walk-off homerun to send us the World Series. Me and my friends were all camped around the tv watching and were flipping out when he crushed it. I remember my friend couldn't get the night off of work from Walmart so I called in pretending to be his brother and told them that our father just had a heart attack and they let him go for family emergency, just so he didn't miss the game lol. Also I just wanted to point out, even though the Lions were annually bad, Detroit had the Tigers, Pistons, and the Red Wings which were championship caliber teams back then in the 2000's. The Pistons were a solid team for about a decade and won a championship in 2004, The Red Wings made the playoffs for 25 straight years between 1991-2016 and won championships in '97, '98, '02, and '08, and the Tigers I already explained above.
Back then they would play “Zombie nation” every time someone hit a HR. I would get goosebumps when a player would run the bases after hitting a home run with that song playin out loud in the background
For the final out of the Cubs vs Dodgers NLCS at 8:58 I was like a block and a half away from Wrigley Field outside a bar watching thru the window as that hapened. It was the loudest sustained erruption of cheers I've ever heard in my life as everyone on the streets went mad allong with the stadium errupting as well.
That game was on my birthday. It was the first time they had ever played on my birthday and, honestly, the pennant was probably one of the best presents I've ever received.
I was in the streets outside same night. Because of the broadcast delay, we could hear that something big happened and then watched on the screens outside what happened. It was madness and very awesome
18:05 The Detroit Tigers have won 4 WS in it's almost 140 year existence. In 1968, whee the Tigers beat the Cardinals, Pitcher Denny McLain became the last Pitcher to win more than 30 games (31-6). In 1984, the Tigers were in first place for the entire season beating the Padres in the WS 4 games to won. They are joined by the '21 Yankees as the only two teams to achieve this. The Tigers were last in the WS in 2006 when they lost the SF Giants 4-0.
Those Toronto clips are from a recent playoff series, whichever year's ALDS. The playoffs are split between the national league and American league, and the winners of each league's playoffs meet in the world series- so the"league championship series" is actually the semifinals. Those highlights were from the"division series" which is the round of 8. I vaguely recall the Blue Jays had a long playoff drought after winning back to back World Series in 1992-93 so that's partly why it's so loud. At 6:43, that's every kid's dream: down three runs, bases loaded, bottom of the ninth, two outs, two strikes, grand slam to win. Cleveland has since renamed to Guardians as racist stereotypes of Native Americans are no longer popular.
Citizens Bank Park is by far the loudest and has best & creative chants in MLB. Philly is really obnoxious with its sports. Love baseball season ⚾️❤️ and you guys are fun to watch! PS Go Sixers!!! 🏀❤️
In case you’re wondering, Cleveland Indians are now the Cleveland Guardians. (They actually had the longest stadium sellout record from the late ‘90’s to early 2000s)
If you guys ever make it to an mlb game be sure to get there early for warm-ups. Lotsa great bat cracking there without the crowd sound. Very loud, satisfying bat cracks
I’m biased cuz I’m a cubs fan, but I think the greatest game of baseball ever played was game 7 2016 finals cubs vs Indians. An extended highlights reaction or a short video documentary of just how significant that game actually is would be cool to do a reaction on.
The problem with this video is you need context for most of these. Most of these plays would not garner the reactions you see here, but the fact that they are taking place in the playoffs, usually late in the game, against rival teams, etc. is what causes the reactions to be as significant as they are. For example, the Rangers-Blue Jays clips. Sure they were crazy, but both of those took place in the same inning of the last game of the playoff series prior to the World Series so it was winner go home, and there were other plays from that same inning that give it the context it truly needs to fully understand why that was the single most insane inning of baseball ever played.
Nothing more exciting than playoff baseball when your team is in the mix. Every pitch is important. Quite different than a game in April when it’s 40* and 8,000 people in the stands
The first couple clips of TOR vs TEX do not do it justice, truly one of the most insane innnings of baseball ever, 7th inning of Game 5 of the 2015 ALDS, the Division Series is a best of 5, and Texas started it off with 2 wins in Toronto, the Blue Jays then recovered for 2 road wins of their own and having had a better record got to play the finale of the series at home. You guys should absolutely watch a highlight video of it.
react to Game 5 of the 2022 NLCS between the Phillies and Padres! amazing game with an amazing ending. might also have the loudest crowd reaction in MLB history.
Awesome to see you guys getting into baseball. You're gonna have a great time at the London Series. Cubs vs Cardinals is one of the best rivalries in baseball. Few other vids for you guys to check out. Game 162 (talking about the 2012 final day of the season and all the craziness that occurred). Game 6-2012 World Series. Cubs vs Indians-2016 World Series. Those will give you a little more in depth about the stories that were happening.
@ 14:00 I remember watching the game with my buddies fondly. The pitcher Johnny Cueto was collapsing and the whole crowd was chanting "CUETO CUETO CUETO" and he gave up that bomb. Reds vs Pirates is a great rivalry
The José Bautista home run was late in the deciding game of the first round of the playoffs. It broke a tie game, and was a 3 run Homer. I was watching the game, and it was a very intense point in the game. I wasn't a big fan of "the bat toss", but if there was ever a time for doing something like that, it was in that moment. Toronto went on to win the game and advance to the next round. "The bat flip" is now a thing of legend.
Hey, thank you for this. We’ve started doing uncut movie watches within our Patreon as we cannot put these on UA-cam. We’ve done Moneyball already and September’s Poll is currently out which has Field of Dreams currently winning to be next! 🤞
The inside the park home run by Escobar at 16:10 is one of the most exciting plays in baseball. In the early days of the MLB there was no outfield wall and the only homeruns were inside the park home runs.
The atmosphere at a playoff or World Series game is nothing like a regular season game. It's awesome. The tickets are quite a bit more expensive than a regular game, so the people there are more likely to be true fans and there for the game and not just there because of cheap tickets. And the stadium is standing room only. It's so much louder and exciting.
Thank you for the comment and the suggestion Charlie, really appreciate this and this sounds great, will check it’s on the watch list. We run regular polls on our Discord for all members to have a say in what videos we do next if you’re not already on there 🙏
Lol I was the one who made the Tiger comment. The Magglio hr made up for the Ortiz grand slam at 12:33 even tho I was 4 when it happened. This video has the Tigers saddest moment and the best moment. 2012 was there most recent World Series trip but we don’t talk about that, they haven’t won one since 84
I feel like so many of these moments aren’t impactful if you don’t have the context to understand it. Secret Base’s Rewinder series is perfect for stuff like that.
I love play off-game time. You can tell, whether its baseball or hockey, because of the play-off beards. It helps while watching videos because the atmosphere is so charged, I wonder why and then I see the beards! Play-off!
I love all sports... and playoff baseball is the most intense of any sport in my opinion. The game, or even the series, can change on any given pitch. Every single pitch is important. When you have a team you support, the playoffs are as intense as it gets.
Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, has it all. David Freeze, hometown boy ties and wins the game, the crowd that night was by far the loudest I've heard, it was electric.
It was hard to achieve a lot of noise in the Field of Dreams game, because it is a smaller crowd in a completely outdoor venue, not much structure. That was a corn field, not a wheat field. See the movie "Field of Dreams" to understand why a corn field is there.

Good story about that playoff game between Houston and the Mets the longest playoff game ever at 26 innings. My mother is a huge Mets fan and she was visiting family in Virginia and she had to catch a flight back to New York during that game. They were watching the game in the airport bar when it went to The 12th inning and she was upset because she was going to miss the end of the game because she had to get on the plane. They boarded the plane flew to New York got off the plane got all their luggage and the game was still going on when they walked past the airport bar in New York. They stayed in LaGuardia airport until the game was over another half hour later.
My husband and I were watching a game on tv when someone hit the lights and out they went! It was one of those moments, better than a homer that lands in the guys fresh beer or a big order of nachos! Food is expensive at ballparks! I remember asking my husband where the ball went one time when I lost sight of it. He just pointed and said something like, " look at the nacho cheese mess over there". He was correct.
8:14 - The cool thing about this one was that all of the clips prior were from playoff games but this game was from an mid-April 2018 regular season game that they played at a neutral site in Puerto Rico and the guy who hit the home run, Francisco Lindor, is from Puerto Rico. The 2 clips starting at 11:00 were from the first ever "Field of Dreams Game," another special neutral site regular season game but where they built a baseball stadium in a cornfield next to the field that inspired the movie "Field of Dreams." Turned out to be an amazing game with a two-run home run in the top of the ninth to take the lead and then a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to win it. 12:31 - Not only was a close friend of mine at this game but he was in the front row of the right field bleachers and is one of the people that can be seen celebrating in the shot just as the ball goes over the wall. It became a pretty iconic moment in Boston not only because of the gameplay moment but everyone went nuts seeing the policeman going nuts as well. 15:50 - Not only was this an inside-the-park home run in the World Series, it was the very first pitch of the 2015 World Series against my Mets. We still took a lead into the ninth inning of Game 1 but blew it and lost in extra innings and then did the same thing in Game 5 to lose the series 4 games to 1. It was one of those series where almost every game was close but we never felt like we were going to win. 17:26 - You here that a team "won the pennant" in a couple of these clips. This is not them winning the World Series, this is them winning the League Championship Series or LCS (the playoffs' semifinal stage). Back when the American and National Leagues were separate entities and even before there were divisions (introduced in 1969), winning your League was the only thing you could win outside of the World Series (and before 1903, that wasn't even a thing). Many teams would commemorate winning the league championship by hanging a triangular shaped banners (pennants) in their stadium and it got to the point where enough teams did it that the vernacular for winning the League was called "winning the pennant." This language is not used as much any more but even after the rise of divisions and the expansions of the playoffs to include more division winners and wild cards (introduced in 1995 and expanded in 2012 and again in 2022), some announcers still call winning the League Championship Series and making it to the World Series as winning the pennant. 17:47 - The Tigers are bad right now but they had a good run starting in this 2006 season where they lost in the World Series to the Cardinals and then made it again in 2012 but again lost but to the Giants. It HAS been a hard sports city to root for recently. All 4 of its major sports teams haven been down with the only bright spot being the Lions who surged to within 1 win of the playoffs after a terrible start. None of their teams have won a division since the Tigers in 2014 and none have made it out of the first round of the playoffs since the Tigers of 2013. 18:41 - This was a cool moment because the Mets scored 10 runs in that inning to come from behind and take the lead against a hated division rival in the Braves but Piazza had a much cooler home run a year later when he hit a go-ahead 8th inning home run against the Braves but in September of 2001 in the first sporting event in New York City after 9/11. Sends chills down my spine every time I see it.
11:35 The Field of Dreams game was perhaps the best regular season game of all-time. It's worthy of its own reaction. MLB arranged a game around the iconic baseball movie Field of Dreams. The field was constructed in the cornfields of Iowa, adjacent to the field where the movie was filmed decades ago. It was the first MLB game ever played in Iowa. The game was even better than the movie. The Chicago White Sox beat the Yankees in the bottom of the 9th on a Tim Anderson walk off home run.
The WBC crowds were almost consistently similar to these crowds, if not louder, Taiwan vs Panama and Japan vs Korea had classic crowds, but all of the games featuring Asian hosts were electric, Group D also featured some of the biggest crowds the stadium had ever had with passionate fans that that were excited for every pitch
Cool video guys. I've always been impressed by Premier League crowds. I became an Everton fan after watching an ESPN piece on Landon Donovan as a Toffee and seeing the crowd energy. I've been hooked ever since.
This person must have been a fan of the AL. I'm glad they got the Cubs in there, because their crowd can get LOUD. Also that field is 100% a corn field lol.
The thing about these vids is that they were almost all playoff games, guaranteed to have explosive crowd reactions when the home team does something spectacular. Don't know if the regular season game you're going to can match that.
I enjoy watching your videos on baseball. It's great that you are learning and enjoying the game to the point that you even have a favorite team. You are understanding the game more and more. It is such fun for me to see this. Baseball is America's favorite pastime, and I love that you have accepted it as your game as well.
I love baseball so much. You guys should react to highlights from the 2004 World Series when the Red Sox won and ended the 86 year “Curse of the Bambino”. I’m an Angels fan, but I’ll admit there’s something very special about Bostonians and their love for the Sox.
I was at the game at 13:59 and its a shame they didnt show what happened immediately prior, or have much context around it. The pirates had been a dumpster fire since they ran Barry Bonds out of town (yes, that Barry Bonds) and had 20 consecutive losing seasons going into 2013 but had some hope with a blooming young core. They ended up hosting the relatively new and now defunct best-of-one wild card round to see who moves on to the traditional playoffs (division series) and that park was the loudest ive heard a sports venue in pittsburgh. It was the energy of a winner-take-all game 7 but with the pent-up frustration and excitment of the first meaningful game in well over 2 decades. They were set to play the division rival Cincinnati Reds. Johnny Cueto, the opposing team's pitcher was not a favorite of any opposing team for a variety of reasons, so the fans were mockingly chanting his name in unison. It got loud enough that he stepped off the mound to take a moment, but dropped the ball. Not a problem within the game, but it showed everyone in the stands that the noise was getting to him. Of course the crowd then got even louder. The very next pitch is the one shown in the video, a hanging curve that got knocked out for a home run. The pirates quickly became a laughing stock again after sort of competing for 3 years but they have another talented young core now that might be able to overcome the poor ownership and actually make a splash in the next few years, especially with the expanded playoff format.
I really wish more American MLB players were interested in the WBC. It got a lot better this year as we had a lot of great positional players but attracting the best available pitching is a unique and unfortunate obstacle only the US faces, and you can't win a tournament that way. Every other country had its very best pitchers representing them. Ohtani started for Japan, Urias started for Mexico, Alcantara for the Dom Rep, and Martín Pérez and Pablo López for Venezuela. Last year, 13 of the top 20 MLB pitchers with the lowest ERA were American and NONE of them played in the WBC. So the team wasn't nearly as good as I could have been.
that game was actually at a corn field. it was MLB at Field of Dreams in Iowa. Field of Dreams was a movie from 1989. the ballpark they played at was actually setup, I think 150 feet away from the actual Diamond in the movie.
At 12:00 that was the Field of Dreams game. From a bit of Hollywood history, there was a successful baseball film from the late 80s starring Kevin Costner called Field of Dreams. Well, this game was inspired by that film, which is why the "field" is there. He even introduced that game, where the Yankees took on the White Sox of Chicago. The clip you saw with the fireworks was the White Sox winning it all, which was pretty chill, seeing how each team gave the other a run for its money. I'm not a huge baseball head, but I had that game on as it played in my living room, and as that homer got hit by Anderson, even I jumped up and broke into applause. A beautiful home run, better than the movie it played off!
You guys might have already figured this out, but I wanted to clarify anyway: These clips are almost entirely from postseason (playoff) games, which makes sense because the stakes are a lot higher. Sometimes the atmosphere will also get very intense and exciting when you're in the final few weeks of the season, especially if you're watching a game between 2 teams competing against each other for a playoff spot, but this definitely would not be typical of an average regular season game. Also FYI: If you're ever watching a clip and want to see if it was a playoff game, it will usually say in one of the corners of the screen. The rounds of the MLB playoff are "Wild Card," "NLDS" or "ALDS" (one for national league, one for american league), "NLCS" or "ALCS," and "World Series."
18:01 The clip is from the 2006 American League Division Series, which is the championship that leads to the World Series. (The National League has the same, and then the World Series is played between the best AL team and the best NL team.) 2006 and 2012 were the last times the Tigers got that far, and 2006 was after a 22-year drought - the last time they _won_ was in 1984, when I was born.
As a lifelong Tiger fan I still get emotional when I hear the radio broadcast voiced by Dan Dickerson. The 2006 season was special for the entire city of Detroit although they were ultimately defeated by the St Louis Cardinals 4-1 in the WS. The 2003 Tigers had the worst record in the league and almost eclipsed the (61 or 62 Mets I think?) for most losses in a season. You could draw the comparison of them being on the verge of relegation (lol). As a high school kid witnessing the epic turnaround from cellar to the World Series in such a short span was majestic. #DetroitvsEverybody (reflects the attitude of most Detroit sports teams that make deep playoff runs….scrappy, tough, and usually a solid bet for a late rally) Thanks again boys!
Now that you guys have watched loudest crowd reactions you should check out some crowd silencing moments. Only in baseball can crowd noise go from 0 to 100 and vice versa in a split second.
Great reaction as always. The two early Toronto highlights were from the same game, in fact they happened one after the other, though in reverse order to what the video showed. I saw other comments saying you should react to that game/inning, which you should definitely do. It was game 5 in the best of 5, in inning 7. The inning lasted just short of an hour and had the most incredible swings of momentum. If you search Jose Bautista Bat flip, you will find it. I saw a recent 9 minute video breaking down the inning and how improbable almost everything that happened actually happened. It was that incredible. Toronto has a lot of good crowd support, but in that inning, as the only Canadian team, the entire country jumped in jubilation.
My Tigers have been in disarray in recent years, but they have a rich history, and we've got to see a lot of great baseball and have had a lot of great players and characters over the years. #35-5

Your homework project now will have to be the research of the movie "Field of Dreams." You will then understand the meaning of the venue of the ballpark in the middle of the corn field. MLB staged a couple games on the movie set. Kevin Costner film.
You wonder what the importance of that Blue Jays clip was? Search for “the most insane inning of baseball ever” and you’ll find out. Trust.
The “wheat field” you guys mentions is actually based on a book and movie, Field of Dreams, where a guy builds a baseball field in the middle of his corn field. The whole thing is pretty iconic and legendary so the MLB decided to recreate the field and have one game played a year on the field to commemorate the legend. It started in 2021 and it’s a pretty awesome scene to play at and watch.
Second this
They should react to the movie
Field of Dreams was a book?
Yeah, you guys should really watch Field of Dreams.
Love Field of Dreams! Great movie
11:53 'Field of Dreams" game. Takes place in a cornfield in Iowa that was built for the movie 'Field of Dreams".
If they haven’t seen that movie, they should do a reaction. I think, just for an insight into baseball’s place in the American psyche, a steady diet of baseball movies are a great idea.
The early highlights from Toronto vs Texas are from "the greatest inning of all time" very dramatic stuff. Deserves it's own reaction.
I just hate that my Rangers were on the wrong side of that. It was truly a great inning and incredibly memorable but that inning BROKE my team for so many years.
If for no other reason than the fact that it gave us "The Bat Flip"
That was the wildest inning of baseball I have ever witnessed in my life, it’s crazy that Joey’s bat flip was so dope we forget about the chaos that led to it
a fluke play gives Texas the lead
a defensively sound shortstop make three errors
followed by and unbelievable bloop and blast
@@gamingeagle19 it was a coming together of 2 massive fanbases of long time droughts of playoff appearances or playoff letdowns, one felt like the league was cheating their country, the other felt that that their team couldn't get it done when they got there. Probably the wildest inning of baseball I've ever seen. You couldn't write a more dramatic series or inning for the movies.
2015 ALDS Game 5, Texas v Toronto 7th inning. That whole inning was wild, and led to 2 of the highlights in this video. Really worth a watch!
Glad I discovered you guys. That "wheat field" is actually a corn field. This baseball venue was built by MLB in the middle of nowhere in Iowa, the location of an iconic baseball film "Field of Dreams" starring Kevin Costner, Ray Liota and James Earl Jones. In the movie Costner's character is a farmer in Iowa and he keeps hearing a voice saying "if you build it they will come". So he builds a baseball field in the middle of his corn field. Much more to it than that of course. Fantastic movie.
Field of Dreams is definitely a must see movie for Nick and Damo. It was very well done.
Hey, thank you so much for this. We’ve started doing uncut movie watches within our Patreon as we cannot put these on UA-cam. We’ve done Moneyball already and September’s Poll is currently out which has Field of Dreams currently winning to be next! 🤞
About to watch it tonight for the first time!
Recommendation. Watch “the 7th Inning” from 2015 between Toronto and Texas. One of the most insane games in playoff history. Toronto has some of the loudest fans in the league and this is the best example of it
If you notice, almost all of these games are during the playoffs. Most of the season baseball is very relaxed and laid back, but it gets crazy during September and October if you're one of the teams involved in the playoff hunt. My team hasn't been in the playoffs for almost a decade now, so it's really hard to get excited when they get eliminated from contention by July and you still have over a month of 30-40 games still left to play.
Didn’t notice that! Thank you 😀
@@DNReacts On most of the clips in this video, the game series and game number is shown somewhere on the screen. “Wild Card” decides who makes it to the division series, “NLDS” is National League Division Series, “ALDS” is American League Division Series. Winners of those go to the conference championships (“NLCS”and “ALCS”). Then, of course, the “World Series”
Toronto vs Texas "greatest inning of all time" craziest and most dramatic thing ive ever seen in sports
That Cleveland crowd in that stadium can be absolutely unreal in October. No fanbase needs a championship more than they do
MLB has two very special games each year. One is the "Field of Dreams" game which is the one with the cornfield (corn, not wheat). During the pre-game introductions, the players walk out of that field just like they do in the movie of the same name. The 2nd special game is held in Williamsport, PA during the Little League World Series. The Little League players all watch the big leaguers play. Both games do count as regular season games for the participating teams.
I just love baseball highlights. It was my favorite sport to play growing up in San Diego. So many great memories of opening day, getting my first strike out, hitting home runs and stealing bases. I also remember the pain of giving up a home run, throwing wild pitches and walking batter after batter and getting pulled from a game early. Yeah, baseball can humble you sometimes.
I wish you guys could really experience playing this game because it is probably even more enjoyable when you can relate to what the players are going through from your own experiences. I'm over 60 and I can still go out there and throw strikes.⚾⚾
I’d love to play the game at some point! That would be so much fun!
The "Field of Dreams" cornfield in 2021 -- magical in every way, from the intro with Kevin Costner, the players emerging, a high scoring close game....
Any baseball fan who doesn't want to visit the actual site of the movie is no true baseball fan.
An underrated situation is when your team is scoreless going into the later innings, and they finally get on the board. Just imagine being in the stands slamming beers for 6-7 innings then your guys start to rally. Such a great feeling.
For the best baseball heroics you need to do a David Ortiz reaction, particularly one that includes his speech after the Boston marathon bombing. Real goosebumps stuff
My Tigers had a great run of seasons from 2006-2014 but came up short in the WS a couple of times. The video of Magglio was from 2006, 2 or 3 years prior to that season they almost broke the record for most losses in a season, it was an incredible turnaround. Fun times but also bad memories for us and now we just suck lmao
Your tigers knocked my Yankees out of the playoffs like 4 years in a row in that time too haha, back with Fielder
@@reedeayers Yeah we always seemed to meet your Yankees and the A's in the playoffs during that run lol
Also a Tigers fan. I started watching baseball on the tail end of our great run. Hopefully, we can finally have a resurrection soon enough.
Triples and Inside the Park home runs are the most exciting to watch in my opinion because they usually involve a close play.
Yea that Blue Jays crowd is probably the loudest in the league when it comes playoff time - they really go insane over everything, you could see the cameras shaking from the noise levels.
The Javy Baez Home run in game 1 of the NLDS against the Giants was the loudest and happiest moment of my life.
I was at that game. Both starting pitchers were absolutely unhittable the entire game.
Only Baez was hitting the ball hard all day and the wind was absolutely whipping straight in from the outfield.
Basically everyone knew that if he didn't do anything that at bat then they wouldn't be able to do anything offensively.
Off the bat it looked like it was going to hit the building across the street, but because the wind was blowing so hard, no one could be sure if it would be a home run or not.
The split second before the ball landed it was absolutely silent. I was close enough to hear the "thunk" when the ball landed.
The second it landed it was pure pandemonium. Everyone was just screaming themselves hoarse.
That moment really made it feel like they could win it all that year, and they did.
P.S. If you want to see some truly monstrous home runs, look up Dave Kingman's and Glenallen Hill's longest home runs at Wrigley. The latter is probably the hardest anyone has ever hit a baseball.
You asked about the backstory for the Texas Rangers vs Toronto Blue Jays game. You'd need a thesis to get the entire background, so I highly suggest you watch the video: "The Inning Capped Off By Jose Bautista's Iconic Home Run Was Just Flat-Out INSANE!"
It's by Stark Raving Sports. He helps put the proper context behind the 7th inning that you might lose out on if you just watch the shorter clipped version of the 7th inning.
The WBC crowds were actually INSANE. You just happened to watch some of the least heralded matchups haha. But seriously check out any of the semifinal or final matchups, or any group stages matches in Taiwan and Tokyo, and any game with Latin American teams like Puerto Rico, Mexico, Dominican Republic. They were for my money much crazier than MLB
Loving these baseball reactions! I know quite a few people have mentioned it already in previous videos, but I think you should really bump the Seattle Mariners docuseries by Secret Base up on the list. It's a 6 part series, each episode about 40 minutes long, so definitely more of a commitment, but I promise you guys won't regret it. It's honestly one of the best sports documentaries ever made (and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Mariners fan). It's definitely like nothing you guys have ever seen before.
Life long cubs fan here, if you haven't watched it already i recommend watching game seven of the 2016 WS. i might be biased but it was one of the greatest games ive ever seen. 108 years since they won it last and the crowd went absolutely nuts after the last out.
A new Cubs fan! Welcome to the family. Love your reactions guys. I'm a Cubs season ticket holder, and you have a seat ready whenever you are ready to make the pilgrimage.
This is awesome, thank you so much Ryan! Glad to be part of the cubs family
7:42 so glad they included this one, one of the most hype moments in playoff history
I was in Atlanta when the Braves won their World Series in 1995. The place went absolutely crazy...it was great!
I was in minneapolis at the dome for games 6 and 7 in 91. Same thing, place went nuts both games. One of the loudest things I've ever heard.
The game you saw was in a Corn field. It happens once a year in Iowa. It's in tribute to a movie named "Field Of Dreams". Great baseball movie
“Is this Heaven?”
“No, it’s Iowa.” 😊
My favorite MLB crowd reaction I’ve witnessed in person was at 2015 home run derby in Cincinnati. Todd Frazier won the derby in front of his home fans and the stadium felt like it was shaking from the upper deck seats I was in. Probably the best moment I’ve had as a Reds fan. Since you guys like bat cracks you would probably like watching home run derby highlights there’s some special moments from the event. It takes place the day before the all star game in July.
I’m biased but the 2014 & 2015 royals were the most fun baseball team to watch ever! They played a style from a bygone area and fought against the trends of the modern game and made it work and it was incredible to see. Foolish Baseball has a video called Royal Ball that’s all about those teams and their unique style. You should check it out you’ll learn a lot about the strategies or the modern game and how it used to be different
ua-cam.com/video/L0bSAGd6_Zk/v-deo.html
That last game between the Cubs and the Indians was incredible. Both teams had the longest World Series draughts in MLB. I believe the Indians at the time had not won it in 70ish years and the Cubs had not won in 108 years. There was a lot of tension throughout the series with a lot of call and response home runs. Truly incredible
Yes, the Cubs will win the World Series.... Harry Caray.... ua-cam.com/video/iPaACIEnQMg/v-deo.html
I'm looking forward to you guys seeing the game in London! We expect some live videos.
💯 We’ll vlog the day as best we can and post here. Maybe can sneak in a live, we’ll have to see 😉
@@DNReacts Don't expect the kind of energy you saw here in a regular season game in London as you would in a post season game in Bronx! One of the other British people react to baseball guys is campaigning to get to go to the US to see a game and raising funds for it! You guys should do the same :).
One of the best crowd reactions (I am biased) that wasn’t included here (because it happened last October) was the Padres in the National League Divisional Series game 4. The Padres and Dodgers are division rivals but all season the Dodgers had beaten up the Padres and on top of that the Dodgers had their best regular season ever.
The way the game was going it looked like LA was going to beat SD once again. It was 3-0 with heavy rain. In certain situations if the rain to too heavy the rain will be called early. But in the bottom of the 7th the Padres scored 5 runs without ever getting a home run. In the 9th inning our pitcher had to face 3 of the best batters in the league in order to win. He struck all of them out in the pouring and the crowd was going absolutely nuts. As a Padres fan for the past 20 years there haven’t been many highlights while rooting for them but that was beautiful.
My father grew up in the 80s and 90s watching them have great players so he got to watch great moments (no championships though, since SD hasn’t won one yet) but I was glad to watch that with him
Yes, most of these games are from the post season playoffs, those with the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs coming in 2016, where eventually the Cubs won the World Series. The last time previous to this either team made it to the World Series for the Indians was 1948 and the Cubs 1908. So both teams fans were very enthusiastic in 2016 after so long a drought in Championships. Desperate fans can be very loud when the game favors them for a change.
Another thing to remember is that these teams are playing the best in seven game series, by game 5,6, and 7 fans cheer on every good play.
I'd love to see a reaction from you guys of the movie "Field of Dreams." It's iconic. I think you both would really like it.
Maybe something we can do in the future when we have the time! Thanks for the suggestion 😊
At 11:05, there is a homerun on the field where the movie Field of Dreams was filmed. MLB holds one game each year there. Fans love the atmosphere and the cornfield behind the outfiled wall.
I would strongly strongly urge you guys to watch a video on the story behind the cubs 2016 WS win! Given that you'll be following the Cubbies this year, it would provide some awesome historical context to that win and how they ended the longest drought in professional US sports.
And it would provide bit of insight into the current heartache in Cleveland. To have come so close three times and not win it all is a gut punch.
Cole I agree! God that was the best day of my life!! I cried. The pain Cub fans went through for years to finally get there. Down 3-1 in the series and we came back and won it all in the 10th. God I still watch highlights and still cry about it. 108 YEARS! The longest drought in the history of American Sports was over!! Guys you gotta watch highlights and fan reactions.
@@davidwindell you have no idea
1979 Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series had some of the greatest crowds. They were also one of the most memorable teams ever. A documentary on the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates is worth a watch.
They were all just compilations of recent game which i don’t like. Mix of older games would have been more exciting
@@westhoodqualzini7884 Agree. Most of the videos show only clips from the last 5-10 years at the most. The 70s and 80s must seem prehistoric to the creators of these videos.
Context for each clip:
0:19 - First out/Strikeout of 2015 World Series game 3
0:29 - Tying home run in the 8th inning of game 7 of the 2016 World Series, but it wouldn’t matter and the cubs would win to Nick’s delight
1:13 - Lindor’s grand slam in game 2 of the ALDS that kept them in the game where they would win in 13 innings
1:30 Jose Bautista’s 3 run home run in the deciding game 5 of the ALDS and the most iconic bat flip ever, would recommend checking out a video on this called the craziest inning ever
2:54 Yes, the same game, and this was a hit that led to the home run by Bautista
3:12 Also the same game, a crucial call in the inning that led to everything else previously stated
3:28 I’m gonna be honest and say I have no idea why this was here😂, if someone could tell me that would be great
3:51-4:35 Game 5 of the previous Indians Yankees series with crucial hits in the 3rd inning that got the Indians back in it
4:36-5:34 Same game as the Lindor Slam more clutch Indians hits
6:00 A walk off home run by Edwin Encarnacion that sent the Blue Jays to the ALDS
6:21 Another Encarnacion home run, this one in the previous stated ALDS game 5
6:46 David Bote’s walk off grand slam for Nick’s cubbies
7:09 Bird’s home run in again the 2017 ALDS series Yankees vs Indians, put the Yankees on top for good.
7:41 Montero’s grand slam in game 1 of the NLCS for the cubbies that pretty much sealed the game
7:57 Fowler went back to back with Montero to make it 8-3
8:14 A special game for Lindor in his home country of Puerto Rico and of course he hit a home run
8:54 A clutch strikeout in the 9th inning of a playoff series between the Blue Jays and Indians
8:58 The moment the Cubs made the World Series in 2016
9:19 Gurriel’s 3 run tying home run in a very important game 5 of the 2017 World Series
9:38 Same game, Altuve with ANOTHER 3 run tying home run, would recommend watching a video of this game too, a crazy game even though it is ruined by knowing that the Astros cheated
9:58 Clutch diving catch in the 2017 ALCS AND a double play on top of it that avoided another possible run for the Yankees which might have won the yanks the game
10:35 Same game, but the walk off home run that sent the Astros to the World Series and just makes the double play more clutch
11:05 Clutch home run in the “Field of Dreams” game
11:36 Same game, but the walkoff home run by Tim Anderson
12:33 Big Papi’s game tying Grand Slam in game 2 of the 2013 ALCS
13:03 Javi Baez’s clutch game winning home run in game 1 of the NLDS for the Cubbies
13:29 Same game as 9:19, but a clutch home run that put the Astros up 3
14:00 Fans chatting Johnny Cuetos name made him drop the ball and then give up this home run to Russel Martin in the Wild Card game
15:09 Didi Gregorious’ game tying home run in the 2017 wild card game
15:27 Eric Hosmer’s clutch RBI single that sent the Royals to the World Series
15:54 First pitch of the 2015 World Series for the royals, and it was an inside the park home run, super rare and cool moment

19:18 Walk off home run for the Dodgers in the 2021 Wild Card game
19:44 Correa clutch home run that sent the Astros to the ALCS
20:11 A home run that put the game away in game 3 of the NLDS for the Mets
20:49 A home run that put the Mets up 2-1 in game 3 of the World Series
Wow, thank you so much for posting this Andrew! Really appreciate it.
3:12 is actually 2022 opening day in Toronto
the first full capacity game since the COVID outbreak at Rogers Centre
Lourdes Gurriel and Teoscar Hernandez weren't on that 2015 team
18:04 that’s not what that home run was. That’s Mike Piazza’s 3 run homer in the bottom of the 8th to cap a 10 run inning in June of 2000. The home run in the Mets first home game after 9/11 was to straight center, also in the bottom of the 8th.
19:44 this home run by Correa was a moot point
The Royals rallied, and an error by him sent the series back to Kansas City, which ended in Houston's defeat
@@benjaylehman correct
There is nothing like the TENSION of a 2+ hour playoff game. Each pitch has thousands of people's blood pressure through the roof. When something big happens, that TENSION turns into NOISE
Great video to react to - I've watched many baseball highlight clips but i've never seen this one - it shows how electric the playoffs/world series really is after a typically long, slow-moving season. MLB at its best.
Thanks Jedd, glad you enjoyed this one
The older video where Mike Piazza hit a home run down the line and the fans went crazy was the first game played in New York after 9/11, and was one of the most memorable regular season games ever. The reason why you see such huge reactions especially for the Indians and the Cubs is because both fan bases are super hungry for a World Series since they hadn't had one for a long time, but the reality is that playoff baseball is a magical experience, and big moments in meaningful games are something to be treasured.
As a Cubs fan I feel like the 2016 playoffs had a very loud crowd. Both the NLCS and World Series had incredible atmospheres with the cubs getting their first World Series win at home since the early 1900’s. Suggest you check our their postseason highlights.
The Detroit Tigers were a good team for almost a decade since 2006 and had one of the highest payrolls in the league after the Yankees and Red Sox. They went to the World Series in 2006 and 2012, but unfortunately lost both of them. That home run you saw was by Magglio Ordonez in 2006, one of our better hitters in the lineup that was hot that game. He hit a homerun in the 6th inning to tie the game and then that clip you watched was a 3-run walk-off homerun to send us the World Series. Me and my friends were all camped around the tv watching and were flipping out when he crushed it. I remember my friend couldn't get the night off of work from Walmart so I called in pretending to be his brother and told them that our father just had a heart attack and they let him go for family emergency, just so he didn't miss the game lol.
Also I just wanted to point out, even though the Lions were annually bad, Detroit had the Tigers, Pistons, and the Red Wings which were championship caliber teams back then in the 2000's. The Pistons were a solid team for about a decade and won a championship in 2004, The Red Wings made the playoffs for 25 straight years between 1991-2016 and won championships in '97, '98, '02, and '08, and the Tigers I already explained above.
You should react to the greatest baseball comeback ever. The 2004 ALCS, Boston Red Sox v New York Yankees.
Back then they would play “Zombie nation” every time someone hit a HR. I would get goosebumps when a player would run the bases after hitting a home run with that song playin out loud in the background
For the final out of the Cubs vs Dodgers NLCS at 8:58 I was like a block and a half away from Wrigley Field outside a bar watching thru the window as that hapened. It was the loudest sustained erruption of cheers I've ever heard in my life as everyone on the streets went mad allong with the stadium errupting as well.
That game was on my birthday. It was the first time they had ever played on my birthday and, honestly, the pennant was probably one of the best presents I've ever received.
I was in the streets outside same night. Because of the broadcast delay, we could hear that something big happened and then watched on the screens outside what happened. It was madness and very awesome
18:05 The Detroit Tigers have won 4 WS in it's almost 140 year existence. In 1968, whee the Tigers beat the Cardinals, Pitcher Denny McLain became the last Pitcher to win more than 30 games (31-6). In 1984, the Tigers were in first place for the entire season beating the Padres in the WS 4 games to won. They are joined by the '21 Yankees as the only two teams to achieve this. The Tigers were last in the WS in 2006 when they lost the SF Giants 4-0.
2012, not 2006
@@ambrosejohnson6918 Thanks for the correction
Those Toronto clips are from a recent playoff series, whichever year's ALDS. The playoffs are split between the national league and American league, and the winners of each league's playoffs meet in the world series- so the"league championship series" is actually the semifinals. Those highlights were from the"division series" which is the round of 8. I vaguely recall the Blue Jays had a long playoff drought after winning back to back World Series in 1992-93 so that's partly why it's so loud.
At 6:43, that's every kid's dream: down three runs, bases loaded, bottom of the ninth, two outs, two strikes, grand slam to win.
Cleveland has since renamed to Guardians as racist stereotypes of Native Americans are no longer popular.
Citizens Bank Park is by far the loudest and has best & creative chants in MLB. Philly is really obnoxious with its sports.
Love baseball season ⚾️❤️ and you guys are fun to watch!
PS Go Sixers!!! 🏀❤️
In case you’re wondering, Cleveland Indians are now the Cleveland Guardians. (They actually had the longest stadium sellout record from the late ‘90’s to early 2000s)
Thank you Jaime, love that you’re enjoying the videos 🙏 Didn’t know that re Cleveland Guardians, thanks for the context.
If you guys ever make it to an mlb game be sure to get there early for warm-ups. Lotsa great bat cracking there without the crowd sound. Very loud, satisfying bat cracks
I’m biased cuz I’m a cubs fan, but I think the greatest game of baseball ever played was game 7 2016 finals cubs vs Indians. An extended highlights reaction or a short video documentary of just how significant that game actually is would be cool to do a reaction on.
The problem with this video is you need context for most of these. Most of these plays would not garner the reactions you see here, but the fact that they are taking place in the playoffs, usually late in the game, against rival teams, etc. is what causes the reactions to be as significant as they are. For example, the Rangers-Blue Jays clips. Sure they were crazy, but both of those took place in the same inning of the last game of the playoff series prior to the World Series so it was winner go home, and there were other plays from that same inning that give it the context it truly needs to fully understand why that was the single most insane inning of baseball ever played.
Nothing more exciting than playoff baseball when your team is in the mix.
Every pitch is important.
Quite different than a game in April when it’s 40* and 8,000 people in the stands
The first couple clips of TOR vs TEX do not do it justice, truly one of the most insane innnings of baseball ever, 7th inning of Game 5 of the 2015 ALDS, the Division Series is a best of 5, and Texas started it off with 2 wins in Toronto, the Blue Jays then recovered for 2 road wins of their own and having had a better record got to play the finale of the series at home. You guys should absolutely watch a highlight video of it.
react to Game 5 of the 2022 NLCS between the Phillies and Padres! amazing game with an amazing ending. might also have the loudest crowd reaction in MLB history.
Awesome to see you guys getting into baseball. You're gonna have a great time at the London Series. Cubs vs Cardinals is one of the best rivalries in baseball.
Few other vids for you guys to check out. Game 162 (talking about the 2012 final day of the season and all the craziness that occurred). Game 6-2012 World Series. Cubs vs Indians-2016 World Series. Those will give you a little more in depth about the stories that were happening.
Secret Base has a great video on the latter in their "deep rewind" series. ua-cam.com/video/L1DQTdrYTwI/v-deo.html
game 162 was 2011 but yes, should definitely react to that
Cardinals vs Cubs rivalry is at the top with the Dodgers vs Giants, and the Yankees vs Red Sox...
@@noahjensen6106 yeah, I mistyped. I meant 2011 but was multitasking and forgot to go back and edit
@ 14:00 I remember watching the game with my buddies fondly. The pitcher Johnny Cueto was collapsing and the whole crowd was chanting "CUETO CUETO CUETO" and he gave up that bomb. Reds vs Pirates is a great rivalry
The José Bautista home run was late in the deciding game of the first round of the playoffs. It broke a tie game, and was a 3 run Homer. I was watching the game, and it was a very intense point in the game. I wasn't a big fan of "the bat toss", but if there was ever a time for doing something like that, it was in that moment. Toronto went on to win the game and advance to the next round. "The bat flip" is now a thing of legend.
The field at 12:20 ish is a recreation of the field from the movie “Field of Dreams” and was promoted by the MLB as a big neutral site game mid season
Yep, they couldn't use the actual field, it's too small.
Hey, thank you for this. We’ve started doing uncut movie watches within our Patreon as we cannot put these on UA-cam. We’ve done Moneyball already and September’s Poll is currently out which has Field of Dreams currently winning to be next! 🤞

Y’all are the rising GOAT sports reactors IMO after all
The inside the park home run by Escobar at 16:10 is one of the most exciting plays in baseball. In the early days of the MLB there was no outfield wall and the only homeruns were inside the park home runs.
The atmosphere at a playoff or World Series game is nothing like a regular season game. It's awesome. The tickets are quite a bit more expensive than a regular game, so the people there are more likely to be true fans and there for the game and not just there because of cheap tickets. And the stadium is standing room only. It's so much louder and exciting.
I am a big braves fan I would recommend watching the 2021 braves mini documentary it’s like 45 minutes but it is so good
Thank you for the comment and the suggestion Charlie, really appreciate this and this sounds great, will check it’s on the watch list. We run regular polls on our Discord for all members to have a say in what videos we do next if you’re not already on there 🙏
Lol I was the one who made the Tiger comment. The Magglio hr made up for the Ortiz grand slam at 12:33 even tho I was 4 when it happened. This video has the Tigers saddest moment and the best moment. 2012 was there most recent World Series trip but we don’t talk about that, they haven’t won one since 84
I feel like so many of these moments aren’t impactful if you don’t have the context to understand it. Secret Base’s Rewinder series is perfect for stuff like that.
I knew these had to be all or mostly postseason clips. MLB playoff atmosphere is **electric**
I love play off-game time. You can tell, whether its baseball or hockey, because of the play-off beards. It helps while watching videos because the atmosphere is so charged, I wonder why and then I see the beards! Play-off!
I love all sports... and playoff baseball is the most intense of any sport in my opinion. The game, or even the series, can change on any given pitch. Every single pitch is important. When you have a team you support, the playoffs are as intense as it gets.
Love this Barnaby!
Adam Duvall's 1st inning Grand Slam in game 5 of the 2021 World Series is the loudest I have ever heard a stadium in my life.
Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, has it all. David Freeze, hometown boy ties and wins the game, the crowd that night was by far the loudest I've heard, it was electric.
It was hard to achieve a lot of noise in the Field of Dreams game, because it is a smaller crowd in a completely outdoor venue, not much structure. That was a corn field, not a wheat field. See the movie "Field of Dreams" to understand why a corn field is there.

The fans are incredible. Love the video guys
Thank you so much!
Good story about that playoff game between Houston and the Mets the longest playoff game ever at 26 innings. My mother is a huge Mets fan and she was visiting family in Virginia and she had to catch a flight back to New York during that game. They were watching the game in the airport bar when it went to The 12th inning and she was upset because she was going to miss the end of the game because she had to get on the plane. They boarded the plane flew to New York got off the plane got all their luggage and the game was still going on when they walked past the airport bar in New York. They stayed in LaGuardia airport until the game was over another half hour later.
Tiger fan here. Last World Series was 1984. Love the channel guys, keep it up. Baseball is a wonderful game
Thank you, we really appreciate the support 🤝
My husband and I were watching a game on tv when someone hit the lights and out they went! It was one of those moments, better than a homer that lands in the guys fresh beer or a big order of nachos! Food is expensive at ballparks! I remember asking my husband where the ball went one time when I lost sight of it. He just pointed and said something like, " look at the nacho cheese mess over there". He was correct.
The Detroit Tigers were one of the best teams between 2013-15...they had a younger Verlander and Scherzer and also MVP Cabrera
Between 2011 and 2015
8:14 - The cool thing about this one was that all of the clips prior were from playoff games but this game was from an mid-April 2018 regular season game that they played at a neutral site in Puerto Rico and the guy who hit the home run, Francisco Lindor, is from Puerto Rico.
The 2 clips starting at 11:00 were from the first ever "Field of Dreams Game," another special neutral site regular season game but where they built a baseball stadium in a cornfield next to the field that inspired the movie "Field of Dreams." Turned out to be an amazing game with a two-run home run in the top of the ninth to take the lead and then a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to win it.
12:31 - Not only was a close friend of mine at this game but he was in the front row of the right field bleachers and is one of the people that can be seen celebrating in the shot just as the ball goes over the wall. It became a pretty iconic moment in Boston not only because of the gameplay moment but everyone went nuts seeing the policeman going nuts as well.
15:50 - Not only was this an inside-the-park home run in the World Series, it was the very first pitch of the 2015 World Series against my Mets. We still took a lead into the ninth inning of Game 1 but blew it and lost in extra innings and then did the same thing in Game 5 to lose the series 4 games to 1. It was one of those series where almost every game was close but we never felt like we were going to win.
17:26 - You here that a team "won the pennant" in a couple of these clips. This is not them winning the World Series, this is them winning the League Championship Series or LCS (the playoffs' semifinal stage). Back when the American and National Leagues were separate entities and even before there were divisions (introduced in 1969), winning your League was the only thing you could win outside of the World Series (and before 1903, that wasn't even a thing). Many teams would commemorate winning the league championship by hanging a triangular shaped banners (pennants) in their stadium and it got to the point where enough teams did it that the vernacular for winning the League was called "winning the pennant." This language is not used as much any more but even after the rise of divisions and the expansions of the playoffs to include more division winners and wild cards (introduced in 1995 and expanded in 2012 and again in 2022), some announcers still call winning the League Championship Series and making it to the World Series as winning the pennant.
17:47 - The Tigers are bad right now but they had a good run starting in this 2006 season where they lost in the World Series to the Cardinals and then made it again in 2012 but again lost but to the Giants. It HAS been a hard sports city to root for recently. All 4 of its major sports teams haven been down with the only bright spot being the Lions who surged to within 1 win of the playoffs after a terrible start. None of their teams have won a division since the Tigers in 2014 and none have made it out of the first round of the playoffs since the Tigers of 2013.
18:41 - This was a cool moment because the Mets scored 10 runs in that inning to come from behind and take the lead against a hated division rival in the Braves but Piazza had a much cooler home run a year later when he hit a go-ahead 8th inning home run against the Braves but in September of 2001 in the first sporting event in New York City after 9/11. Sends chills down my spine every time I see it.
11:35 The Field of Dreams game was perhaps the best regular season game of all-time. It's worthy of its own reaction. MLB arranged a game around the iconic baseball movie Field of Dreams. The field was constructed in the cornfields of Iowa, adjacent to the field where the movie was filmed decades ago. It was the first MLB game ever played in Iowa. The game was even better than the movie. The Chicago White Sox beat the Yankees in the bottom of the 9th on a Tim Anderson walk off home run.
Inside the park homeruns are awesome
The WBC crowds were almost consistently similar to these crowds, if not louder, Taiwan vs Panama and Japan vs Korea had classic crowds, but all of the games featuring Asian hosts were electric, Group D also featured some of the biggest crowds the stadium had ever had with passionate fans that that were excited for every pitch
Cool video guys. I've always been impressed by Premier League crowds. I became an Everton fan after watching an ESPN piece on Landon Donovan as a Toffee and seeing the crowd energy. I've been hooked ever since.
Love this, thanks for the comment. Rough time at Everton at the moment but I think you’ll avoid relegation this season and be okay 🤞
One of the loudest crowds ever - Gibson vs. Eckersley game 1, bottom of the 9th inning, 1988 World Series
This person must have been a fan of the AL. I'm glad they got the Cubs in there, because their crowd can get LOUD. Also that field is 100% a corn field lol.
The thing about these vids is that they were almost all playoff games, guaranteed to have explosive crowd reactions when the home team does something spectacular. Don't know if the regular season game you're going to can match that.
Not a bad video...just weighted way more towards the last couple years....there are moments from the past that would blow some of these away
I enjoy watching your videos on baseball. It's great that you are learning and enjoying the game to the point that you even have a favorite team. You are understanding the game more and more. It is such fun for me to see this. Baseball is America's favorite pastime, and I love that you have accepted it as your game as well.
This is great, thank you Sylvia! Really appreciate it
I love baseball so much. You guys should react to highlights from the 2004 World Series when the Red Sox won and ended the 86 year “Curse of the Bambino”. I’m an Angels fan, but I’ll admit there’s something very special about Bostonians and their love for the Sox.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Yeah, Fenway has the best atmosphere
Baseball has to be the most "superstitious" of all the American sports.
@@cteal2018 I know, and I love that! 😁
@@cteal2018 “He’s throwing something SPECIAL tonight”
I was at the game at 13:59 and its a shame they didnt show what happened immediately prior, or have much context around it.
The pirates had been a dumpster fire since they ran Barry Bonds out of town (yes, that Barry Bonds) and had 20 consecutive losing seasons going into 2013 but had some hope with a blooming young core. They ended up hosting the relatively new and now defunct best-of-one wild card round to see who moves on to the traditional playoffs (division series) and that park was the loudest ive heard a sports venue in pittsburgh. It was the energy of a winner-take-all game 7 but with the pent-up frustration and excitment of the first meaningful game in well over 2 decades. They were set to play the division rival Cincinnati Reds.
Johnny Cueto, the opposing team's pitcher was not a favorite of any opposing team for a variety of reasons, so the fans were mockingly chanting his name in unison. It got loud enough that he stepped off the mound to take a moment, but dropped the ball. Not a problem within the game, but it showed everyone in the stands that the noise was getting to him. Of course the crowd then got even louder. The very next pitch is the one shown in the video, a hanging curve that got knocked out for a home run.
The pirates quickly became a laughing stock again after sort of competing for 3 years but they have another talented young core now that might be able to overcome the poor ownership and actually make a splash in the next few years, especially with the expanded playoff format.
I really wish more American MLB players were interested in the WBC. It got a lot better this year as we had a lot of great positional players but attracting the best available pitching is a unique and unfortunate obstacle only the US faces, and you can't win a tournament that way. Every other country had its very best pitchers representing them. Ohtani started for Japan, Urias started for Mexico, Alcantara for the Dom Rep, and Martín Pérez and Pablo López for Venezuela. Last year, 13 of the top 20 MLB pitchers with the lowest ERA were American and NONE of them played in the WBC. So the team wasn't nearly as good as I could have been.
that game was actually at a corn field. it was MLB at Field of Dreams in Iowa. Field of Dreams was a movie from 1989. the ballpark they played at was actually setup, I think 150 feet away from the actual Diamond in the movie.
At 12:00 that was the Field of Dreams game. From a bit of Hollywood history, there was a successful baseball film from the late 80s starring Kevin Costner called Field of Dreams. Well, this game was inspired by that film, which is why the "field" is there. He even introduced that game, where the Yankees took on the White Sox of Chicago. The clip you saw with the fireworks was the White Sox winning it all, which was pretty chill, seeing how each team gave the other a run for its money. I'm not a huge baseball head, but I had that game on as it played in my living room, and as that homer got hit by Anderson, even I jumped up and broke into applause. A beautiful home run, better than the movie it played off!
If you want to hear a loud crowd, find some clips of Citizen’s Bank Park (Phillies) during this past playoff run.
You guys might have already figured this out, but I wanted to clarify anyway: These clips are almost entirely from postseason (playoff) games, which makes sense because the stakes are a lot higher. Sometimes the atmosphere will also get very intense and exciting when you're in the final few weeks of the season, especially if you're watching a game between 2 teams competing against each other for a playoff spot, but this definitely would not be typical of an average regular season game.
Also FYI: If you're ever watching a clip and want to see if it was a playoff game, it will usually say in one of the corners of the screen. The rounds of the MLB playoff are "Wild Card," "NLDS" or "ALDS" (one for national league, one for american league), "NLCS" or "ALCS," and "World Series."
We didn’t 😂 thank you for the context!
Playoff baseball is very different. Regular season can drag a little.
18:01 The clip is from the 2006 American League Division Series, which is the championship that leads to the World Series. (The National League has the same, and then the World Series is played between the best AL team and the best NL team.) 2006 and 2012 were the last times the Tigers got that far, and 2006 was after a 22-year drought - the last time they _won_ was in 1984, when I was born.
As a lifelong Tiger fan I still get emotional when I hear the radio broadcast voiced by Dan Dickerson. The 2006 season was special for the entire city of Detroit although they were ultimately defeated by the St Louis Cardinals 4-1 in the WS. The 2003 Tigers had the worst record in the league and almost eclipsed the (61 or 62 Mets I think?) for most losses in a season. You could draw the comparison of them being on the verge of relegation (lol). As a high school kid witnessing the epic turnaround from cellar to the World Series in such a short span was majestic. #DetroitvsEverybody (reflects the attitude of most Detroit sports teams that make deep playoff runs….scrappy, tough, and usually a solid bet for a late rally)
Thanks again boys!

Now that you guys have watched loudest crowd reactions you should check out some crowd silencing moments. Only in baseball can crowd noise go from 0 to 100 and vice versa in a split second.
Great reaction as always. The two early Toronto highlights were from the same game, in fact they happened one after the other, though in reverse order to what the video showed. I saw other comments saying you should react to that game/inning, which you should definitely do. It was game 5 in the best of 5, in inning 7. The inning lasted just short of an hour and had the most incredible swings of momentum. If you search Jose Bautista Bat flip, you will find it. I saw a recent 9 minute video breaking down the inning and how improbable almost everything that happened actually happened. It was that incredible. Toronto has a lot of good crowd support, but in that inning, as the only Canadian team, the entire country jumped in jubilation.
I'm a cubs fan! Good to see one of you as a fan!
The crazy thing about that Rajai Davis homer is the crowd was half cubs fans and still that loud
My Tigers have been in disarray in recent years, but they have a rich history, and we've got to see a lot of great baseball and have had a lot of great players and characters over the years. #35-5
