@@stuartmcdonald5172 Yes, he did get very drunk and pitched hungover. If you had paid attention to the video you'd have known that was when he pitched a perfect game.
Honestly I do believe that the biggest problem with baseball right now, besides advanced stats and woke bullshit, is the way over deliberate pace of the games. Mostly because of pitchers that are way too deliberate with too many pitching changes and hitter time outs. The games have gone from being wrapped up within 3 hours to taking anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 hours per game. Its unwatchable. Wells is what every pitcher should be. Here it is, now hit it. None of this finess crap with 2 minute windup rituals in between pitches.
Well he definitely handed the world series to Miami in 03. His game he came out, they were up 2-1 games (honestly if healthy I still think we beat him) but that was Penny's second win. Sudden after Pavano out dueled Rocket and Penny's win Beckett went to NY up 3-2. I was at Key West Fantasy fest. It was amazing. So many Yankees fans that didn't know it was over. I won hundreds of dollars and beers that the series was over. Over confident fans who know nothing about baseball. Typical Yankees fans huh?
I never understood why he had such a weird reputation. He treated us fans here in Toronto like gold & even posed for a picture in the hospital with my cousin Amber when she had surgery to remove a tumor. Too bad our idiot management at the time took forever to appreciate him. Go Boomer!!
I did not know about the game worn Babe Ruth hat. That is so cool that a 1934 hat was worn in game so much later. As someone who collects hats of what the home team is wearing that I go to, that would one hell of a hat to try to track down lol
I wish they had let him keep wearing it! I feel like if you go through the trouble to obtain a game-worn Babe Ruth hat, you've earned the right to wear it during a game.
Wtf I'm a Tigers fan and I had no idea we almost had Mariano Rivera Guess it's good that we didn't trade for him since that legendary duel with Miggy would've never happened
I was exposed to Wells when he played for the Jays since I live a few hours from Toronto. When he signed with Detroit, I knew they had a good one. Unfortunately, this was was when my Tigers were just awful. I remember seeing him pitch in Detroit at Tiger Stadium and thought it was a good fit as he seemed like a throwback to a bygone era. If he had 300 wins, he would be a shoe in for the HOF. Hopefully the veteran committee takes a look at him because he was a great player.
true, the game of baseball HISTORICALLY has no shortage of big personalities, but the lack of them currently is a big reason why the league isn’t bigger today, along with the league not letting them express themselves. the league needs more trevor bauers but attempts to suppress them instead.
Sports leagues in general don't want "characters" nowadays do in part to market towards families and to gain interest of youth to take up the sport and to not piss off the parents of said youth. These characters can be are viewed as "bad influencers" who can be prone to scumbag and sometimes even criminal behavior. While this has resulted in boring sometimes even "robotic" individuals with no personality being marketed as "the face" of their sport. Sports leagues feel more comfortable with that then if their "face" of the sport is arrested and or being under investigation for a serious crime resulting in media backlash and sponsorships (what they really care about) being dropped.
If sports leagues really cared about that, the NBA and NFL wouldn't employ half the guys they do. MLB might be a little different, but while I certainly think the league likes to have less free radicals whose bad press they can't account for running around, I think the lack of more interesting personalities in baseball today just reflects how utterly lame people typically are these days.
@@SteeleZack There isn't a single player in MLB today who has a personality like Ken Griffey Jr did. Even Barry Bonds, as big of ego and as arrogant as he was (and still is), had a personality, even if he rubbed people the wrong way. Jose Altuve comes off as a bit of a robot. Joey Gallo is a complete buffoon, strikes out 200 times, and doesn't have near the likeness Mark McGwire did (prior to his steroid abuse becoming well known). I like Mike Trout, but outside of his exceptional fielding and still being able to run bases, he just feels boring to watch. I can personally name a whole bunch of players in the 1990s and early - mid 2000s who were far more dynamic and had a more likable personality. Kirby Puckett for instance, good role model and was a stand out for the Minnesota Twins. Ken Griffey Jr, 10 Rawling Gold Glove Awards, was fun to watch both at the plate and out on the field. David Wells had personality, and that's one major difference between the game of the past and the game of today.
I'm a Jays fan. It was a little disheartening when Wells, in a post game interview, said that he hated Toronto, he didn't want to be back there and that the Jays should trade him back to New York. Yup. But the Sports Illustrated Cover was a hatchet job.
There is some really impressive photoshop in this video, showing him playing for different teams. We all know he was born one day and came out dealing for the Yankees the next.
To a Jays fan, Wells is up there with Steib, Haliday, Carter and Alamar... and my personal favourite, the great Tony Fernandez, (who left us much too soon ).. a video about him would be awesome, btw..
Wells is an enigma, not S tier but definitely not B tier either. Then again not what your mind thinks of with an A tier pitcher looks like but man that dude had a wicked looping curve ball.
I was actually at that perfect game in 1998 although I was too young to remember. I think that giveaway beanie baby might be worth something these days although it's long gone by this point
as I scroll through the comments I found what I was looking for- A FAN THAT HAS MET HIM. I met this mountain of a man at a Suns game he attended with Mark Grace while the Dbacks were trying to court him to play with the team (same year he posted 20 wins) he was obviously FADED. no1 but myself noticed who the pair actually were and I came up hoping for an autograph and member being pushed aside, not literally, but just a naw no continue walk back to his seat beer in hand. HATED HIM FROM THAT DAY . Many years later I posted on an IG acct that acknowledged the day/anniversary of his NO Hitter/Perfect game and commenting that he was a prick and such. I get reply back in a smart ass way and ended up being his son 😅 of course defending his father. after I told em what happened he kinda toned down his shit talking and said why it may have happened n apologized. I tried to STILL get an autograph lol but with no success. seeing this makes me want his AUTOGRAPH more so - on both his WS team caps. great channel BTW
My brother & me sat front row, center seats of the top left deck at old Yankee Stadium when Boone hit that 10th inning blast of Wakefield. It sent N.Y. to the World Series. Starting pitchers were Clemens vs Pedro. Wells & Mussina both pitched in relief. Boone's moonshot was coming directly at my face, then at the last second it dipped down in the 2nd deck. The 🏟 was rocking & shaking so much that I was honestly fearful our deck was gonna collapse into the lower one. Magical playoff games with Torre as manager was almost expected in the late 90's-2000's. 😄 1996 Charlie Hayes dribbler down the 3rd base line vs Atlanta was 1 example out of about 100.
I remember for a brief time around his perfecto, Wells was considered one of the best in the game. Hell, he later got traded to the Jays for Roger Clemens and, if I remember correctly, the trade was straight up. Edit: Great video. Your content is excellent. It didn’t, however, clear up whether the Well/Clemens trade was straight up or if the Yanks had to throw on some other perks to get this deal done.
Torre should have let him wear the cap. He should have played up the parallels to the Bambino. Reminded him that even Ruth had to pull it together after his mid career slump and tone down the night life. Clearly being a Yankee was a big deal to him.
Boomer is one of my favorite Yankees ever. 33 is a sneaky great Yankee number, too, with Wells, Swisher, and Bill Dickey (as a coach). Plus Yankee legends Greg Bird and Jose Canseco
Love Boomer. Fan of both the Tigers and Reds. Was one of my favs on both teams. He wasn’t always the best pitcher, but he had a great personality and always wanted to win the games he started.
I felt bad when the White Sox got such a lousy version of David Wells. He comes into camp with a big beard, way overweight, and had a trash season plagued by fat-guy injuries. He got in shape for the Yankees though, which was nice of him.
Hated Boomer when he was on the Yankees, kind of felt bad for him when he got booed there as a member of the Red Sox. You could tell he really took it to heart.
I always tried to draft him in dynasty mode on MVP Baseball 2005 for the GameCube. He had a beautiful pitching motion, and those career statistics are truly impressive. Nice video.
$1 per strikeout, $5 for a win......so how the hell did he say he could pull in $100 a game? Are the other teams getting 15 outs an inning? There's only 6-7 innings in youth ball.
Wells went to the same High school as I did, Point Loma High in San Diego. The same high school that produce another major league pitcher...Don Larsen. Both Wells and Larsen both pitched a perfect game for the same team, New York Yankees, and of course came out of the same high school. BTW the same high school that produced a Boston Bruin hockey great Peter McNabb.
Yeah, Orioles fan here and I remember 1996 well. We were so disappointed in Wells and thought he was terrible. Given I was 8 at the time so I had no recollection of any player's history at all.
Reminds me when I snuck off post one time during lockdown and drank all night (me and Sgt lemmons). That next morning our commander found out and gave the entire company a PT test. Expecting us to fail, we scored the highest in the company...even better than the captain. I maxed out and scored a 382 on the extended scale. Not a word was said to me about my wild night
Living in Toronto during the golden years of the Blue Jays, Wells just never fit in with the culture there. I remember one ugly incident when manager Cito Gaston went up to the mound and asked him for the ball. Wells got into a shouting match with him and stormed off in disgust. I also remember reading that GM Pat Gillick had him weighed on a regular basis, which Wells resented. A much better fit with the Yankees and Tigers.
I played my best baseball games hung over lol. At a certain point you just feel sick and don't care and just want the game to end so there's like none of that pressure feeling. No over thinking anything. Just trying to get to the end of the game without puking lol.
He liked the number 33? hmmm. wonder if he also had another ring other than the world series ones. hmmmmmm. hmmmmmm. ok. does anyone out there know what i mean?
Follow me on Twitter @BaseballHSTRN or David Wells will find you
You better follow Mr. historian… you wouldn’t want to risk it…
That’s a scarier threat than it should be
David Wells is the textbook definition of a dude. Such a wildcard but someone you could always count on to give you his all every fifth day
Hardly. Getting very drunk and pitching hungover is hardly giving it your all and that`s why changed teams 12 times in his career.
@@stuartmcdonald5172 Yes, he did get very drunk and pitched hungover. If you had paid attention to the video you'd have known that was when he pitched a perfect game.
David Wells was just unflappable in the postseason. He was never nibbling or afraid to get hit. He would just go right after people.
Honestly I do believe that the biggest problem with baseball right now, besides advanced stats and woke bullshit, is the way over deliberate pace of the games. Mostly because of pitchers that are way too deliberate with too many pitching changes and hitter time outs.

None of this finess crap with 2 minute windup rituals in between pitches.
That’s so correct. I remember every game he pitched.
I loved him with the Red Sox.. gave up the eventual game winning home run to my White Sox in 2005 XD
That’s true. He had one clunker as a Yankee, Game 4 of the 2002 Alds versus Anaheim. Otherwise he ranged from good to great.
Well he definitely handed the world series to Miami in 03. His game he came out, they were up 2-1 games (honestly if healthy I still think we beat him) but that was Penny's second win. Sudden after Pavano out dueled Rocket and Penny's win Beckett went to NY up 3-2.

@@BaseballHistorian Yeah it is lame that they made him take it off. If only he was wearing the game worn jersey to match lol
Considering they chop up game used bats and jerseys for relic cards these days I don’t understand the problem?
David Wells is one of those names I always heard about but never knew the extent to how crazy he was. That was awesome.
I wish Boomer would do color on YES. Imagine the stories he'd go into in the 6th inning of a blowout?
That strike-out call at 3:35 is legendary.
Hitting 'em with the old neck chop
Umps get a lot of hate, but that man is a savant! Perfect reaction to such a wicked curveball too
Straight up! 😄
My cousin is a long time bartender in Key West. He smoked a joint with David Wells in the walk-in cooler at the bar. Wells is a good sport
When you look up on an old baseball card of him as a rookie, it's kind of weird seeing Boomer looking somewhat fit.
Davd Wells qualifies for having the best weekend by a human being.
This channel is a hidden gem
Wtf I'm a Tigers fan and I had no idea we almost had Mariano Rivera
Guess it's good that we didn't trade for him since that legendary duel with Miggy would've never happened
What might have been...
That intro is friggin gold 🤣😂. David did enjoy his adult beverages.
I was exposed to Wells when he played for the Jays since I live a few hours from Toronto. When he signed with Detroit, I knew they had a good one. Unfortunately, this was was when my Tigers were just awful. I remember seeing him pitch in Detroit at Tiger Stadium and thought it was a good fit as he seemed like a throwback to a bygone era. If he had 300 wins, he would be a shoe in for the HOF. Hopefully the veteran committee takes a look at him because he was a great player.
Super! I knew a lot, but didn’t know about the possible trade for Rivera, wow! 👏🏼
He threw a perfect game and is a multiple world series champion. What else can we say?

I thought the videos couldn’t get better… they just did!
Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn is a dude. It would be cool to see him
Maybe a whole video about that underdog '89 Cleveland squad?
I'm a Jays fan. It was a little disheartening when Wells, in a post game interview, said that he hated Toronto, he didn't want to be back there and that the Jays should trade him back to New York. Yup. But the Sports Illustrated Cover was a hatchet job.
Andy hawkins threw a no hitter and lost
Gord Ash was the AGM, Pat Gillick was the GM in '93. Small quibble, good vid.
What was unmentioned that he might have driven Yankee management nuts but Yankee fans loved him. It was a crushing day when he was traded for Clemens.
There is some really impressive photoshop in this video, showing him playing for different teams.
We all know he was born one day and came out dealing for the Yankees the next.
I love Boomer!!! His energy was so damn important to that team
To a Jays fan, Wells is up there with Steib, Haliday, Carter and Alamar... and my personal favourite, the great Tony Fernandez, (who left us much too soon ).. a video about him would be awesome, btw..
You spelled a few of the player's names wrong
Awesome video! Thanks for introducing me to Wells, he's quite the character 😂
Buying the babes cap for 34000 to wear it in a game you pitch....savage priceless...
Wells is an enigma, not S tier but definitely not B tier either. Then again not what your mind thinks of with an A tier pitcher looks like but man that dude had a wicked looping curve ball.
His book is amazing. I highly suggest giving it a read. You will not be disappointed.
$1 a strike out. $5 a win. $100 a game? i'm not quite sure that math works out. i guess this is why he plays baseball and not math.
Boy I bet Wells, Fallon, and Meyers wouldn’t be caught partying together nowadays.
I was actually at that perfect game in 1998 although I was too young to remember. I think that giveaway beanie baby might be worth something these days although it's long gone by this point
So Jimmy Fallon was good for something!
I loved watching him pitch never knew what you were gonna get lol

David Wells didn't look athletic enough to be a professional bowler, let alone a baseball player.
All you need is a good arm.

It included Graeme Lloyd and Homer Bush.
Wells would’ve thrived if he was marketed today
Boomer got that janitor body flow
Completely forgot he was with the Reds for a minute.
Is Eric Brynes on the list of baseball dudes? He had his own TV show while playing in AZ
David Wells and John McLane in Die Hard 3. THEY DO THEIR BEST WORK WHILE HUNGOVER. :)
Torre should have let him wear the cap. He should have played up the parallels to the Bambino. Reminded him that even Ruth had to pull it together after his mid career slump and tone down the night life. Clearly being a Yankee was a big deal to him.
The Yankees didn't make the World Series in 2002. They lost in the ALDS to the eventual champion Angels.
It ended up being sort of unclear in the video, but I was referring to the 2003 loss against Florida. I understand how it was confusing, though.
Loving the series! You gotta do one one on The Bird, Mark Friedrich
I sent this video to my bro David Wells and he said “never saw it (before). It’s almost all true, lol.”
Baseball historian you are a dude. Please do Jimmy Rollins next he's a dudes dude
I used to play ball with his Son, and David was a super great guy to talk to
Listen I know his stats aren’t Hall Of Fame worthy but I feel his story is.
Yankees were good when they had old man . I David Wells should be in the hall
Getting drunk works. The guy who set the world long jump record in 1968 got drunk the night before
Sage advice
my father give him the nickname "baril de bière" (Beer barrel)
The opening line of this video is now my favorite opening line of any UA-cam video.
Boomer is one of my favorite Yankees ever. 33 is a sneaky great Yankee number, too, with Wells, Swisher, and Bill Dickey (as a coach). Plus Yankee legends Greg Bird and Jose Canseco
sit down foolish baseball there's a new king in town
Another very well made video. I didnt used to pay Wells mich mind but this was eye opening
B o o m
Amazing video as always. Keep up the great work.
Loved Boomer! Great video.
David Wells is Kenny Powers
Let's be honest juan perrie is a dude
4:22 doesn’t sound like a good pitcher
True. Never really amounted to much.
"anger management guru"
LMAO

Excellent video dude!
Shocking to hear how Wells was only the third pitcher ever to have Tommy John surgery. And now it happens to many pitchers every year.
Dude, great video man
Hated Boomer when he was on the Yankees, kind of felt bad for him when he got booed there as a member of the Red Sox. You could tell he really took it to heart.
Man, as a young Yankees fan in the 90s, David Wells will always get my respect
As Mets fan, I loved Yankee David Wells.
I watched this video and was shocked this account isn’t over 1 million subs. What a job man!
Follow me on Instagram or Twitter, just look up my name and I’ll show up! Seems like you’d be cool to talk sports with
Why did he look like Gus Johnson for most of his career?
Actually, I think the real question should be why more people *don’t* try to look like Gus Johnson
Great pitcher!
It was Pat Gillick not Gord Ash who released him.
Ah my bad, must have mixed up the two accidentally
@@BaseballHistorian It's all good he replaced , Gillick in 95. Great videos keep them coming.
legend
Jimmy Fallon wouldn't join SNL until the fall of 1998 and Seth Meyers wouldn't join for 3 years.

Reminds me when I snuck off post one time during lockdown and drank all night (me and Sgt lemmons). That next morning our commander found out and gave the entire company a PT test. Expecting us to fail, we scored the highest in the company...even better than the captain. I maxed out and scored a 382 on the extended scale.
Not a word was said to me about my wild night
Living in Toronto during the golden years of the Blue Jays, Wells just never fit in with the culture there.

I also remember reading that GM Pat Gillick had him weighed on a regular basis, which Wells resented. A much better fit with the Yankees and Tigers.
Here cuz watching kikuchi throw that curve ball where he wants it reminded me of the big boomers curve ball. just nasty
I played my best baseball games hung over lol. At a certain point you just feel sick and don't care and just want the game to end so there's like none of that pressure feeling. No over thinking anything. Just trying to get to the end of the game without puking lol.
Never understood why Torre made him take that cap off.. it's just stupid, and guaranteed that's why they lost the game because he got David flustered
strike out 1$
Win 5 dollars
1x27= 27
1w = 5
27+ 5 = $100+

Awesome video again!
Dude this video should be like 20 minutes. Other than that it was amazing buddy.
I was at the Wells perfect game. I still have the beanie babie giveaway, it's named Valentino.
Maybe you should do your research Seth Meyers didn't join the snl cast til 2001
Bro the yawn and head shake is SO hungover hahahahaha incredible
Great video
Think he was playing for the sox when he missed a start because he cut his thumb opening a can of tuna.
He liked the number 33? hmmm. wonder if he also had another ring other than the world series ones. hmmmmmm. hmmmmmm. ok. does anyone out there know what i mean?
Cal Ripken Jr. once said the greatest game he ever played, he had the flu.
