Greatest clutch hitter in my lifetime. Sparky Anderson said he would walk Brett with the bases loaded rather than let him hit with the game on the line. Nuff said!
I was born in '74, grew up watching him and he was my hero. "There he is, ladies and gentlemen, get a good look at him." First 20 years of my life, and I got to see him play in all 20!
I could watch his swing all day
my favorite all time player
G. Brett was, is and will always be my favorite player. When he hit 3 hrs off Catfish Hunter in the '78 playoff game at Yankee Stadium, it was like hitting 3 hrs off Dracula in Transylvania at night. Even when he had a bad game, you always knew he gave it his best.
As a Detroit Tiger fan born and raised George Brett is one of the best that ever played the game. Much Respect.
Funny thing about Brett's fight with Nettles in the 1977 playoff game. If you watch, Thurman Munson pushes through the pile to protect Brett. Brett later said Munson put his hands on Brett's face, in case any Yankees tried to take cheap shots at him. That was the respect players had for Brett.
My idol since 77. Provided sooo many thrilling moments!
George Brett didn't hit that many home runs in the regular season, but come postseason time and he was a monster. After he played his last postseason game in 1985, he was the all-time AL Championship Series leader in BOTH home runs AND triples.
In 1980, Brett won the AL MVP and hit .390 but won the World Series not that season but in 1985, when he also won his first and only Gold Glove. He was always a monster in the ALCS but in 1985, he was incredible versus the Blue Jays, leading them to victory after they were down 2-0 and 3-1 in the series. His Game 3 was particularly memorable, as he went 4 for 4 with 2 home runs and 4 runs scored and made some great defensive plays. The Toronto manager simply said after that ALCS: "Too much Brett."
In Game 7 of the World Series vs St. Louis , he had 4 hits as the Royals also came back from 3 games down.
For third basemen, I would take him over Mike Schmidt due to his continued success in every postseason series he played in.
ed vega, brett hit 317 home runs in one of the toughest parks to hit home runs. in a home run friendly park he would have hit around 500, if he had played in fenway i have no doubt he would have hit .400, he would have owned the green monster.
My favorite Brett stats are: Batting titles in 3 different decades 1976, 1980, 1990... 118 RBI in 117 games in 1980... 24 Home Runs only 22 Strikeouts in 1980... Hit .388 with 33 doubles in 71 games at age 37 after the All Star break in 1990 to capture his third batting title... played 43 postseason games and hit .337 with 10 home runs... had more walks than strikeouts in this career 1096 to 908... and the best for last, Brett is the ONLY player in MLB history with at least 3,000 hits 600 doubles 100 triples 300 home runs 200 stolen bases and a .300 average.
I may have been born in 2000, but damn this legend will forever be my favorite player
20 years 1973-1993. He rapidly developed into a good hitter winning the 1976 battling title. Then he clubbed 22 homers in 1977 and he was batting at or near .300 between 1976 and 1983. In 1980 Brett won the American League MVP and batted .390, a modern record for a third baseman. He actually flirted with .400. Brett's 1980 batting average of .390 is second only to Tony Gwynn's 1994 average of .394. In 1985, Brett had another brilliant season in which he helped propel the Royals to their second American League Championship. He batted .335 with 30 home runs and 112 RBI, finishing in the top 10 of the league in 10 different offensive categories. Brett then batted .370 in the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals including a four-hit performance in Game 7. He was one of the best hitters in Royals history. He moved from Third base to first in 1989 and then later was DH. He won the batting title in three decades: 1976, 1980 and 1990.
When you think of Kansas City, you think of the Plaza, barbeque and George Brett. He is a LEGEND, plain and simple!!!!!!
C A and Patrick Mahomes
What a great ball player.
One of the best.
Amazing that he and Mike Schmidt played for basically the same years, and both played for one team, and even faced each other in the World Series once. The two best ever at the same position at the same time. Personally I give Schmidt the edge with the 10 Gold Gloves and the HRs and the modern stats (better OPS and OBP) but I understand the case for Brett.
awesome! I loved watching him play
One of the best, and more under appreciated players in the history of the game. This video perfectly encapsulates "Charlie Hustle" in all of his glory. That fight with Nettles always gets me fired up.
Brad, your killin' it!
here's how good george brett was, he is only one of four players to hit 300 home runs, 3000 hits, and finish with a .300 career batting average. the other three are hank aaron, willie mays, and stan musial. that right there is baseball "royalty".
as a hitter no problem not with the glove. cosell sucked
I grew up watching Brett in Old Comisky Park on the South Side of Chicago.
Brett was my favorite non Red Sox player of all-time. Tried to copy his pretty swing, it didn't work as well for me as it did for him. Amazing, quintessential baseball player!
GB was my favorite as a kid. He'll always be special to me.
Royals should have been in at least one of those WS...77 or 78. They would have beaten the Dodgers. But the Yankees at that time were just too good. When you think KC Royals....you think George Brett! One of THE greatest player EVER!!
Very cool! The man could hit.
You *really* should have given his 1980 season way more time. Hell, you could do an entire video just about his 1980 season.
very cool. This will be saved forever
Awesome video!! Love it.
great video Brad!!
Straight fucking water. If you know, you know
Best third baseman ever. Combined average and power.
Roy Hill Clutch was his least talked about asset. The man was best when the season was on the line. His loyalty and competitive nature stand out too. My favorite player of all time.
A LEGEND FOREVER.
I’ve never been one to like videos regardless of the content. It just never occurs to me to do it. At the conclusion of this video, with dried up and a new year in my eye, I felt obligated to “like” my first video. WELL DONE!
Great video I love George Brett
KING GEORGE BRETT. ENOUGH SAID. I DONT KNOW IF WE WILL EVER SEE AN OFFENSIVE ASSAULT LIKE WE SEEN FROM HIM IN 1980 GOING FOR .400
BASICALLY HIT ALMOST .500 FOR TWO MONTHS. INCREDIBLE SUMMER.
Yeah he’s good for about 2 a year
Should have made the video 90 minutes instead of 9. So many great moments that didn't make it in here. He was a one-man wrecking crew in the '85 ALCS against the Jays.
Nothing from Game 3 of the 1985 ALCS? Criminy, that was the epitome of his career.
George Brett and Chipper Jones. Both of my all time favorite players are 3rd basemen
@Dale Ewing - funny, KC is my AL team, Atlanta is my NL and kids that grew up watching Chipper play...were like me, growing up watching George Brett play.
It’s water just straight water
Sure did seem to play the Yankees a lot...
Because he was a Yankee killer
Didn't include his 3,000th hit?
yankee killer deluxe....great hitter
I'd take prime George Brett over prime Mike Schmidt any day.
This video is SOOOOO good. But...why so much time on the Pine Tar incident?? There are so many other highlights that deserve more time than the Pine Tar game.....
Nicely done, sir.
Super impressive. Great video :)
Just learned about GB for the first time in Roger Angell's 'Last Innings'. Thanks to YT I can see the swing Angell takes nearly a full page to describe. Sometimes technology doesn't seem so bad.
for me it was Brett, and "Stan the Man" Musial. I learned how to swing a bat from an LP by Musial in our formal living room circa 1980.
He is my favorite Royal hands down. How anybody thought that Alex Gordon was going to be the second coming of this man was nuts and Gordo has proven he's not. Even at Brett's current age, he would still be better than Gordon!
Brett was a legend. At 03:23, typical Yankees bull****.
Didn't he get an inside the park home run late in his career? Most likely @ KC.
He's good for at least 2 a year
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Literally almost all of Brett's career home runs were at Yankee stadium.....
He beats the best any day with his left hand
