As a Jays fan, I want to say the Carter HR is the best (and it might be), but the Cubs win is phenomenal as well. ua-cam.com/video/_J9AP1-z-a4/v-deo.html This angle of Bryant's reaction on the last throw is insanely iconic.
If I had to guess the most iconic ones : 1986 - Maybe the wildest World Series ever .. Boston within 1 out of a World Series. (There is a Rewinder episode of this one!!!) 1993 - the Joe Carter "Touch 'em all, Joe" homerun. Maybe the loudest a baseball stadium ever got! 2001 - For the reasons that you seen in your "rewinder" clip ... underdog Arizona vs post-9/11 New York. Lots of emotions in that series 2004 - Boston's first World Series in 86 years, that moment meant a lot to 3+ generations of Red Sox fans 2016 - The Cubs breaking their 108-year curse a few more recent ones too
This is a great list, and pretty hard to argue with. As a biased DC Sports fan, the Nats breaking DC's 95-year curse last year, which included losing two franchises, also ranks.
1980 - The Phillies were in their 98th season of existence and this was their very 1st ever World Championship. If that's not iconic, I don't know what is.
When the Phillies won the WS, I was a senior in high school. Our science teacher was from Philly, and we got a week off of both homework and class. Just goofed off for 40 minutes every day lol.
Some context that really adds a lot to some of these is the world series droughts. The Cubs didn't win one for 107 years, from 1909-2015. The White Sox didn't win one for 87 years, from 1918-2004. Red Sox had an 85 year drought from 1919-2003. The Cubs one in particular was exciting for me since it was recent and I didnt get to truly experience the others. There were people who literally waited a lifetime to see the Cubs win a world series, thaf 2016 cubs team is worth checking out.
MLB network aired a special after the 2016 Series "Joy in Wrigleyville" that followed fans through that series. Just a few stories of Cubs' fans who waited their whike lives to see it.

Either the Red Sox in '04 or the Cubs in '16 are the most iconic because they were curse enders. Although the '86 Mets reaction with Orosco throwing his glove way high in the air, is pretty good as well
7:09 #34 there, Kirby Puckett, is the reason I played baseball throughout school. I was only almost 4 years old when was listening to this game on the radio from my grandfather's farm. I actually learned to read because of him too because he published "I Love This Game! My Life And Baseball" when I was 6 and I really really wanted to read it.
Joe Carter's walk-off win in 1993 is seen as very iconic, as was the Phillies' win in 1980 (their first ever in club history.), along with Luis Gonzalez's game-winning hit in 2001 that secured the Diamondbacks' first title and block the Yankees' WS winning streak. The Cubs' first WS in over 100 years in 2016 is well remembered as well. The Yankees won most of their titles in the 1920's, 30's, 40's, and 50's. Back then, there was no draft. That meant that players could just sign with any team they wanted; so they signed with the team that could offer them the most money, e. g., the Yankees. In the late 50's/early 60's, the draft was established which disallowed that. The Yankees won 18 WS titles from 1921 to 1960, and nine WS titles from 1961 to today. The draft helped.
MetalCrow448 they came back against the brewers down in the 8th, the dodgers down 2-1 and came back and game five. Then came back down 3-2. 19-31 wasn’t the whole story
Nate Discavage fr bro me and my friend were screaming like little girls we couldn’t believe it. The rain delay really killed the momentum and in the end we just ran out of arms.
Where they really blew it was the bottom of the ninth. Chapman had nothing left and was serving up meatballs. Santana got under a hanging breaking ball that, if you threw the exact same pitch to him 9 times in a row, he would have crushed all 9.
Out of these clips there is 4 that stand out as the most iconic Joe Carter’s walk off home run in 1993, Luis Gonzalez’s walk off single in 2001 , the Red Sox Killing 86 years of misery in 2004, and the Cubs ending a 108 year long curse after coming back from a 3-1 deficit in 2016
Funny you mentioned the "booing" on the 1989 one, what you were probably hearing was a mixed reaction cause those two teams are both from the bay area and their stadiums are ~20km from each other. Having two teams this close to each other in the WS is a very rare occurrence; on top of that there was a massive, deadly earthquake in the bay area that delayed the series for over a week (look it up). This was also the last time my team won the series :(
15:20-15:44 That was Harry Kalas, the normal announcer for the winning team (Phillies) with the call, one of the best ever to do it IMO. It's an iconic call because he wasn't allowed to call the Phillies first championship, but was able to call this one in his final postseason game after announcing the Phillies for 4 decades. He passed away a few months later and is nothing short of an Icon in Philadelphia.
There are a ton of iconic moments in this list. The Joe Carter HR call is great "Your never hit a bigger home run in your life). The Yankees in 2000 had them dubbed team of the century. Obviously 2001 you reacted to. The Red Sox in 04 broke an 86 year drought. the 2013 Red Sox was big because it happened after the Boston Marathon Bombing. The Mets in 86 was a comeback but is most know for the game 6. As for Most iconic it probably varies by team but for baseball the 2016 Cubs are kinda hard to top just because that last game is one of the greatest in all of baseball. The only other moment that is probably the most iconic in baseball wasn't even in a World Series it was in the NL pennant game (the series before the WS) in 1951 it is called the shot heard round the world and was the first game to be nationally televised there is probably a video with the old commentary floating around the internet somewhere it is definitely worth a watch
you couldn't bring up the NL pennant game in my grandparent's household, grandma was from manhattan and grandpa from brooklyn and an argument almost always ensued.
On your own time I’d suggest looking up the 1960 World Series... may or may not find a vid long enough for a reaction but it was the only walk off home run in a Game 7 (Bill mazeroski). Another huge feat in the World Series was Don Larsen’s perfect game in 1956 (only postseason perfect game, meaning pitcher allowed nobody on base all game)
The home run Joe Carter hit for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993 was iconic. I was an eight year old Canadian kid cheering for them at the time. Carter was my favourite player at the time, and I was allowed to stay up just long enough to watch him bat. It was only the second time a home run ended the World Series. The first was in 1960, when Bill Mazeroski hit the winning home run for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Joe Carter's walk-off is definitely the most iconic. The only walk-off World Series-winning home run in history. Honorable mentions to the Red Sox, White Sox, and Cubs breaking their incredibly long droughts, and the D-Backs mounting a comeback against the best closer in baseball history in 2001.
It’s crazy we’re a year into his videos and he still has to be told things like this lol dude just turns videos on and watches without even knowing what’s going on
React to Manu Ginobili. One of the craftiest scorers in NBA history. Manu wasnt gifted with elite athleticism like most of his peers when he came to the NBA but he still made the most out his understanding of angles and rules of the game. Though he didnt invent the "Euro-Step" he was the guy who 100% popularized and perfected the move that you now see guys like James Harden and Giannas molding in their own ways. Manu was an extremely talented player, could have been an all star more than he deserved and possibly could have snagged a scoring title given the opportunity. Most kids these days who havent had the chance to watch Manu in his prime just jump to statistics and arent impressed. What most people dont understand is he played a majority of his career sacrificing his ego and fame for success. Manu knew basketball was a team sport first even though he had just as much ability to take over games like some of the other stars in the league. Criminally underrated in todays eyes.
That cubs win will always be my favorite, I never lived a day of my life in Chicago but I could feel that win. It felt like the whole country was rooting for them.
To answer your question, the Twins, Blue Jays, and Diamondbacks walk off wins are probably considered the most iconic (at least of the ones shown here). The Cubs one is up there too, but more for the overall series, because it was their first World Series win in 108 years. P.S. the whole Red Sox winning at Fenway for the first time in 95 years thing really isn't all that impressive. It was their third World Series win within 10 years, it was just the first time they clinched the victory at home, which really doesn't mean much tbh, especially considering the other two series were only won on the road because the Sox had homefield advantage and they were 4-0 sweeps. Additionally, they actually won 4 World Series titles BEFORE Fenway was even built, so yeah...
I'm just absolutely stunned that you talked through, and for the most part ignored the CUBS winning the World Series. I had a school teacher from Chicago who lived until he had all white hair, and died a "CUBBIESSSS" fan but never got to see them win during his entire life!! He had watched his BEARSSSSS and BULLSSSS win championships but he told us all he ever cared about was his Cubs winning it all again.
Only a couple people here have mentioned the 1991 World Series, but it's more memorable for having come at the end of an epic 10-inning Game 7 in which Jack Morris pitched 10 scoreless innings. And this capped a World Series that, in terms of sheer beginning-to-end game quality, was probably the best-played Series of all time.
I started tearing up after hearing the commentary of the giants ones. The first time in my life I saw my dad cry was game 5 in 2010. I will never forget
That sox 04 win still gives me goosebumps after all this time. you're born into loving that team and every october they seem to let you down and they come back from being down in a series vs the yankees and just so many late night games and going to school tired the next day but everyone understanding because they're all watching these games only to have the redsox beat the yankees their biggest rival and then eventually win the world series. it'll be forever one of the greatest sports moments for people in Boston.
If you really want a shaky camera check out the 1989 world series game 3 pregame show. San Francisco was supposed to be the home team when Oakland won after game 4, but due to circumstances the whole series was played in Oakland.
Aw, 1981 Dodgers was my favorite team when I was a kid. Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, and there’s Tommy Lasorda running onto the field. He was such a character.
I thought the ending of that World Series was a little bit lame. However, have to give that team a tip of the hat. In the 1st round against Houston, they were down 2 games to 0 and came back and won the series 3-2. Against Montreal, they were down 2 games to 1 in the series and won the last 2 games to win 3 games to 2. In the World Series, they were down 2 game to 0 against the Yankees and came back to win 4 straight. That was gutsy and a never say die team showing a lot of character.
In 2016 (the very last one), that was the Cubs’ first World Series win in 108 years. That was an iconic moment along with Joe Carters walk off home run in game 6. P.S. 2004 Red Sox are similar to the 2016 Cubs: that was their first world series win in over 80 years
The 2004, 2005, and 2016 World Series wins were all "curse" ending World Series. Each of those teams hadn't won in 80+ years. Other years are clips that show a franchise winning for the first time. The actual play might not be the most iconic in the series, but it's iconic because it's the last.
This vid was only until the 2016 World Series. There are three more champions: 2017 - Houston Astros (Cheaters from Jomboy’s vids) over the LA Dodgers 4-3 2018 - Boston Red Sox over the LA Dodgers 4-1 2019 - Washington Nationals (Nobody expected them to win) over the Houston Astros 4-3
At 18:03, there was a game where the Mets were up by one in the ninth and the last guy, who should have been the last out, hit a lazy pop up to second base and he dropped it, and two runs scored ending the game in a Yankees win instead.
The pitcher in that first clip was Tug McGraw, the father of country star Tim McGraw. But Tim grew up thinking his stepfather was really his father, and he used his name, Smith. It was only when he was 11 that he discovered his birth certificate, with Tug listed as his father. Even when his mother took him to meet Tug, he refused to acknowledge that he was his father till Tim was 18.
The Yankees had a few really good stretches, but the best is between 1947 and 1953 where they won 6 world series. In general, from 1921 through 1964, the Yankees appeared in 29 world series, and they won 20 of those. In that same 43 year stretch, the next closest team was the Cardinals with 6 world series wins.
When the Giants won 3 in 5 years near the end of the video, that was super iconic because they hadn’t won one in 54 years, and then boom, they go win 3.
Iconic moments: 2004, Red Sox hadn't won since 1918. 2005, White Sox hadn't won since 1917. 2016, "Cubs win the World Series" was the first broadcast of those words, because their previous WS win predated radio in 1908. Walk off HR 1993 Toronto Blue Jays
The yankees won 5 straight titles from 1949-1953, and were super dominant in the late 90s/early 00s. As for unluckiest team, you could argue it's the Rangers, who went to their first world series in 2010 and lost, and was one strike away twice in game 6 in 2011, only to lose that game and game 7, and have never won the title. Or the braves, who lost several times before finally winning it all in 1995
The better call was when Kirby Puckett hit the home run to force game 7 in Minnesota and Jack Buck said and we will see you….. Tomorrow night each time I hear that call it gives me goosebumps. And I’m a Braves fan lol
The most iconic of these is either Joe Carter's home run (1993) or Luis Gonzalez (2001). You should watch the following though to get the true impact of some of these: 1986 World Series game 6 (Dropping the ball at the worst possible time? Yeah, this game essentially ruined a guy's career that is borderline hall of fame level) The entire 1991 World Series, but especially games 6 and 7 Virtually the entire 2001 World Series, but especially games 4, 5, and 7 The 2004 ALCS (the series before the World Series- the beginning of probably the most magical run in baseball history) The entire last month of the 2011 Cardinals season. They were so far behind and had a series of absolutely miraculous wins to get to where they were.
Obviously the biggest baseball memory for me being from St. Louis is 2011 Cardinals winning for the 13th time, which you looked at hometown hero David Freeze I believe. Most recent sport memory was seeing the Blues winning the Stanley Cup for the first time ever. Seeing these wins let's you kinda see the dynasty's of that time, the Cardnials along with a few others have been consistently dominate in recent history. I really believe the Blues are entering that period too with the coaching and young guys coming up.
In no particular order, '01, '04, and '16. If you ask any baseball fan, of any generation, you'll probably get one of these 3 probably 90% of the time as the ones that leap to mind first. 2001 was the first championship after 9/11, one of the best postseasons ever, one of the best World Series ever, and one of the best World Series games ever, plus it was a underdog (Arizona only being 4 years old at that point) against the Evil Empire (the Yankees were going for their 5th championship in 6 years and 4th straight). 2004 was after possibly the greatest comeback in sports history (coming back from a 3-0 deficit in the 3rd round, something that had never happened before), it was among the best series ever, and winning it broke an 86 year drought. And 2016 is also argued as the best World Series and best game in World Series history, on top of breaking a 108 year drought. '01 and '16 are probably the two most commonly argued games/series as being the best. I'm a Chicago fan, but that game legitimately was the greatest game of baseball I've ever seen. 2001 was extremely memorable as well. And with 2004, if you asked people to recount it, they'd probably only remember the ALCS and this single clip of them finally winning. The ALCS was more memorable, except this clip always accompanies it. So if you asked me which last game plays that are the most iconic and memorable, I'd say '16, '01, then '04.
Not so fun fact. The 1989 World Series (6:00) featured a cross city rivalry between The San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A's. A bridge separates the two cities, but a major earthquake happened moments before game 3 started, which postponed the game by 10 days. The damage was so severe, it made it hard for fans of the opposing teams to travel to the others games. While there was several fatalities due to overpasses collapsing onto cars, the World Series is credited with saving lives, as people left work early to watch the game at home, thus reducing traffic that would normally be packed with cars.
I dunno if Netflix UK has it, but you should check out the recent documentary "Long Gone Summer". It's about the 1998 home run record chase. They do a really great job of contextualizing why it was so important for the sport and everything surrounding it.
2004, Red Sox' first World Series win since 1918. 2005, White Sox first World Series win since 1917. 2016, Cubs first World Series win since 1908. And if you think back on it, the Twins World Series win in 1987 was the first World Series for that franchise since 1924, when it was the original Washington Senators. Right now, the Cleveland Indians in the American League have been the longest without a World Series win, as their last one was in 1948. The Washington Nationals won last year, their first World Series appearance ever, and title since their inception as the Montreal Expos in 1969.
1980 - The Phillies were in their 98th season of existence and this was their very 1st ever World Championship. If that's not iconic, I don't know what is.
I might be a bit bias but in MY opinion the most iconic is when the cardinals won in 1982 and all of the fans charged the field. Oh and also the one where the Cubs win the World Series in 2016 for the first time in over 100 years.
The Yankees won five straight from 1949 to 1953, as well as a lot in the 1920s and 1930s when they had Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig who were two of the greatest baseball players ever. But if you like watching fans run on to the field/court to celebrate, again you have to check out college basketball. It still happens quite often in college basketball, not as much in American professional sports the last 30 years.
I would say the 1997 win by the Florida Marlins.....behind most of the game they rallied in the bottom of the 9th to tie (draw) the game and go to extra innings....in the bottom of the 11th, Edgar Renteria hits off of Nagy to score Craig Council for the 2-1 win....Council is now the manager of the Milwaukee Brewers
In my opinion the 1986 is the most iconic. The Mets made a huge comeback in the previous game. If you are a baseball fan you most likely know this World Series.
1993 Joe Carter's Walk off HR...A Walk Off HR has only ended the WS TWICE 1993 and 1960...1960 has the honor of being the ONLY WS GAME 7 Walk off HR. Pirates over Yankees (Bill Mazeroski; the man that hit that ball...is in the Hall of Fame)
3:38 My Tigers were in first place for the entire season; only one of two teams to do so, the other was the 1921 NY Yankees. I got to see that team play the Yankees that year, we won.
as a royals fan, the 2014 WS game 7 was literally the most painful thing ever, seeing how we couldn’t do anything, it’s like watching your grandma die.
I dont know if anyone commented this but in the last clip I was at that game and I think it may be one of the most significant world series in its history because the two teams had the longest records without a world series win
Red Sox in 04, White Sox in 05, and Cubs in '16 all ended 80+ year world series droughts. the 1991 World Series(Minnesota Twins vs Atlanta Braves) is often labelled the best World Series of all time.
in the 2016 world series, two cleveland outfielders thought the other was gonna catch a ball and it just dropped between them. the cubs capitalized on it
easy way to tell who is the home/away team in baseball. The team wearing white is always the home team, and the team wearing gray is always the road team. also, you should check out mlb iconic announcer calls!
most iconic. either joe carter, diamondbacks over the yankees (that one hurt), red sox winning after being down 3-0, the Yankees dominance in the 90s. those are probably the best ones.
1997: Cleveland was leading that game, which would’ve broken their championship drought. But blew it the 9th and extra innings. 2002: Giants lead it game 6, could’ve broken their drought. But blew it in Game 6 & 7. 1986: same as above but Red Sox blew it vs the Mets.
Most iconic for me is the 2004 Red Sox win, because it broke the Curse of the Bambino. Finally, all those older Bostonians could die knowing their team won for the first time in 86 years!
The obvious answer is probably Joe Carter, but the 91 series that went to extras in game 7 with Jack Morris pitching 10 innings of shutout ending like that is still my favorite. Also the Red Sox and Cubs ending their insanely long ass droughts has to be up there.
The Joe Carter homerun, the red sox in 2004 and the Cubs winning are the big ones
As a Jays fan, I want to say the Carter HR is the best (and it might be), but the Cubs win is phenomenal as well. ua-cam.com/video/_J9AP1-z-a4/v-deo.html This angle of Bryant's reaction on the last throw is insanely iconic.
I would add the Dbacks beating the Yankees.
Joe Carter’s walk off home run is the most iconic
Yep
Nah 2001 walk off
Definitely Joe Carter!
Followed closely by 2001. Admittedly I’m biased because I am a diamondbacks fan, but I’d say it is pretty iconic
@Lego Bullet most iconic moment for me as a blue jays fan, wish i wouldve been alive to see it live
If I had to guess the most iconic ones :
1986 - Maybe the wildest World Series ever .. Boston within 1 out of a World Series. (There is a Rewinder episode of this one!!!)
1993 - the Joe Carter "Touch 'em all, Joe" homerun. Maybe the loudest a baseball stadium ever got!
2001 - For the reasons that you seen in your "rewinder" clip ... underdog Arizona vs post-9/11 New York. Lots of emotions in that series
2004 - Boston's first World Series in 86 years, that moment meant a lot to 3+ generations of Red Sox fans
2016 - The Cubs breaking their 108-year curse
a few more recent ones too
This is a great list, and pretty hard to argue with. As a biased DC Sports fan, the Nats breaking DC's 95-year curse last year, which included losing two franchises, also ranks.
1991 has to be on here
2014 maybe, also the Red Sox literally coming back from a 3-0 lead in the nlcs
If you bring up 2004 then the white Sox in 2005 breaking a longer drought should be in there even though I'm a cubs fan that team deserves recognition
1980 - The Phillies were in their 98th season of existence and this was their very 1st ever World Championship. If that's not iconic, I don't know what is.
8:18 thats one of the most iconic clips in mlb history when joe carter hit a walk off homerun to win the world series
18:05 this has happened before, look up bill buckner made a crucial error and cost his team big time.
He should react to the rewinder of Bill buckners World Series error
The game was already tied at that point, though, so it's not like they would've won the series if he'd just made the play.
@@JonahLoeb Also the wild pitch before hand. Hate to see him get all the blame when it was many members of the team.
Most iconic one in my opinion is Joe Carter’s walkoff homerun. 8:18
When the Phillies won the WS, I was a senior in high school. Our science teacher was from Philly, and we got a week off of both homework and class. Just goofed off for 40 minutes every day lol.
Which one...1980 or 2008?

Iconic Calls: 2000 Yankees, 2010 Giants, 2016 Cubs
SanFranFan30 Don’t forget the Joe Carter call.
@@susanmaggiora4800 true I did forget that
1991 Twins is very iconic too
1980 Phillies
Joe Carter's walk-off win in 1993 is seen as very iconic, as was the Phillies' win in 1980 (their first ever in club history.), along with Luis Gonzalez's game-winning hit in 2001 that secured the Diamondbacks' first title and block the Yankees' WS winning streak. The Cubs' first WS in over 100 years in 2016 is well remembered as well.
The Yankees won most of their titles in the 1920's, 30's, 40's, and 50's. Back then, there was no draft. That meant that players could just sign with any team they wanted; so they signed with the team that could offer them the most money, e. g., the Yankees.

Oh, how can you not smile at Klopp hugging players, crying and blinding everyone with his big toothy grin? Love your channel. Liverpool fan here. 😬✌️

Yes please
MetalCrow448 they came back against the brewers down in the 8th, the dodgers down 2-1 and came back and game five. Then came back down 3-2. 19-31 wasn’t the whole story
There isn’t a good video of someone explaining it though, but a good idea
DMV!!!
Yesss
I was at 2016 game 7. Still have flashbacks and still can’t believe we lost that.
As a fellow Indians fan, I was convinced the Indians would win after Davis’ home run
As a Cubs fan I was also convinced the Indians were going to win after that home run. I wish you guys get your moment soon
Even as a cubs fan it took me at least a month to recover from the stress of that game. I can’t imagine how it was for Indians fans.
Nate Discavage fr bro me and my friend were screaming like little girls we couldn’t believe it. The rain delay really killed the momentum and in the end we just ran out of arms.
Where they really blew it was the bottom of the ninth. Chapman had nothing left and was serving up meatballs. Santana got under a hanging breaking ball that, if you threw the exact same pitch to him 9 times in a row, he would have crushed all 9.
Out of these clips there is 4 that stand out as the most iconic Joe Carter’s walk off home run in 1993, Luis Gonzalez’s walk off single in 2001 , the Red Sox Killing 86 years of misery in 2004, and the Cubs ending a 108 year long curse after coming back from a 3-1 deficit in 2016

15:20-15:44 That was Harry Kalas, the normal announcer for the winning team (Phillies) with the call, one of the best ever to do it IMO. It's an iconic call because he wasn't allowed to call the Phillies first championship, but was able to call this one in his final postseason game after announcing the Phillies for 4 decades. He passed away a few months later and is nothing short of an Icon in Philadelphia.
4:39 y'know, legend says that his glove still hasn't landed.
Omg I love baseball MLB Major League Baseball!!!!! That’s swing was insane mate
There are a ton of iconic moments in this list. The Joe Carter HR call is great "Your never hit a bigger home run in your life). The Yankees in 2000 had them dubbed team of the century. Obviously 2001 you reacted to. The Red Sox in 04 broke an 86 year drought. the 2013 Red Sox was big because it happened after the Boston Marathon Bombing. The Mets in 86 was a comeback but is most know for the game 6. As for Most iconic it probably varies by team but for baseball the 2016 Cubs are kinda hard to top just because that last game is one of the greatest in all of baseball. The only other moment that is probably the most iconic in baseball wasn't even in a World Series it was in the NL pennant game (the series before the WS) in 1951 it is called the shot heard round the world and was the first game to be nationally televised there is probably a video with the old commentary floating around the internet somewhere it is definitely worth a watch
you couldn't bring up the NL pennant game in my grandparent's household, grandma was from manhattan and grandpa from brooklyn and an argument almost always ensued.
You should react to foolish baseballs video "game 7:why baseball isnt fair"
On your own time I’d suggest looking up the 1960 World Series... may or may not find a vid long enough for a reaction but it was the only walk off home run in a Game 7 (Bill mazeroski). Another huge feat in the World Series was Don Larsen’s perfect game in 1956 (only postseason perfect game, meaning pitcher allowed nobody on base all game)
13:45 Proof that the White Sox have won a WS
The home run Joe Carter hit for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993 was iconic. I was an eight year old Canadian kid cheering for them at the time. Carter was my favourite player at the time, and I was allowed to stay up just long enough to watch him bat. It was only the second time a home run ended the World Series. The first was in 1960, when Bill Mazeroski hit the winning home run for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
I would say the ones seen as most iconic are the end to the 1993 and 2001 world series
As a Minnesota Twins fan, this video made me cry.
There's such a moment seeing Puckett's #34 at second. Even if he's not the winning run, he was the reason they were even playing that game.
The 7th Game of 1991 World Series was the best game most have ever seen. You should watch it.
Joe Carter's walk-off is definitely the most iconic. The only walk-off World Series-winning home run in history. Honorable mentions to the Red Sox, White Sox, and Cubs breaking their incredibly long droughts, and the D-Backs mounting a comeback against the best closer in baseball history in 2001.
The guy who hit the game winning hit at 7:00 his name is Gene Larkin and he’s actually my hitting coach for baseball
Does he talk about it?
When it says like 4-3 or 4-0 that means they won the series 4-3. It is a 7 game series
It’s crazy we’re a year into his videos and he still has to be told things like this lol dude just turns videos on and watches without even knowing what’s going on
FBI he knows though, he said early on something about “so it’s game 7”
He knows that. He even stated how the fans were louder with the series tied 3-3
I just wrote this just incase he didn't know
@@dom7098 no when he said that he said if the game was 3-3 the crowd would be a lot louder and more tense
id say most iconic was the blue jays one maybe, wheres like “your never gonna hit a bigger home run”
React to Manu Ginobili. One of the craftiest scorers in NBA history. Manu wasnt gifted with elite athleticism like most of his peers when he came to the NBA but he still made the most out his understanding of angles and rules of the game. Though he didnt invent the "Euro-Step" he was the guy who 100% popularized and perfected the move that you now see guys like James Harden and Giannas molding in their own ways.
Manu was an extremely talented player, could have been an all star more than he deserved and possibly could have snagged a scoring title given the opportunity. Most kids these days who havent had the chance to watch Manu in his prime just jump to statistics and arent impressed. What most people dont understand is he played a majority of his career sacrificing his ego and fame for success. Manu knew basketball was a team sport first even though he had just as much ability to take over games like some of the other stars in the league.
Criminally underrated in todays eyes.
That cubs win will always be my favorite, I never lived a day of my life in Chicago but I could feel that win. It felt like the whole country was rooting for them.
It never occurred to me that Joe Carter made _both_ series-winning plays. What a legend.
The Braves were by far the best team of the 90s. So unfortunate they only got 1 out of a decade.
just wanna say the effort to always put out the videos is really great. we appreciate it!
Luka.....this is a fun video. Thanks for sharing.
The 2008 Phillies one was super iconic with the catcher running up to the pitcher
To answer your question, the Twins, Blue Jays, and Diamondbacks walk off wins are probably considered the most iconic (at least of the ones shown here).
The Cubs one is up there too, but more for the overall series, because it was their first World Series win in 108 years.
P.S. the whole Red Sox winning at Fenway for the first time in 95 years thing really isn't all that impressive. It was their third World Series win within 10 years, it was just the first time they clinched the victory at home, which really doesn't mean much tbh, especially considering the other two series were only won on the road because the Sox had homefield advantage and they were 4-0 sweeps. Additionally, they actually won 4 World Series titles BEFORE Fenway was even built, so yeah...
I'm just absolutely stunned that you talked through, and for the most part ignored the CUBS winning the World Series. I had a school teacher from Chicago who lived until he had all white hair, and died a "CUBBIESSSS" fan but never got to see them win during his entire life!! He had watched his BEARSSSSS and BULLSSSS win championships but he told us all he ever cared about was his Cubs winning it all again.
At 2:26, it meant to say "Dodgers over Yankees".
Only a couple people here have mentioned the 1991 World Series, but it's more memorable for having come at the end of an epic 10-inning Game 7 in which Jack Morris pitched 10 scoreless innings. And this capped a World Series that, in terms of sheer beginning-to-end game quality, was probably the best-played Series of all time.
I started tearing up after hearing the commentary of the giants ones. The first time in my life I saw my dad cry was game 5 in 2010. I will never forget
That sox 04 win still gives me goosebumps after all this time. you're born into loving that team and every october they seem to let you down and they come back from being down in a series vs the yankees and just so many late night games and going to school tired the next day but everyone understanding because they're all watching these games only to have the redsox beat the yankees their biggest rival and then eventually win the world series. it'll be forever one of the greatest sports moments for people in Boston.
If you really want a shaky camera check out the 1989 world series game 3 pregame show. San Francisco was supposed to be the home team when Oakland won after game 4, but due to circumstances the whole series was played in Oakland.
For me the 89 one is the most iconic but overall it would be the Twins vs Braves one
Aw, 1981 Dodgers was my favorite team when I was a kid. Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, and there’s Tommy Lasorda running onto the field. He was such a character.
I thought the ending of that World Series was a little bit lame. However, have to give that team a tip of the hat. In the 1st round against Houston, they were down 2 games to 0 and came back and won the series 3-2. Against Montreal, they were down 2 games to 1 in the series and won the last 2 games to win 3 games to 2. In the World Series, they were down 2 game to 0 against the Yankees and came back to win 4 straight. That was gutsy and a never say die team showing a lot of character.
In 2016 (the very last one), that was the Cubs’ first World Series win in 108 years. That was an iconic moment along with Joe Carters walk off home run in game 6. P.S. 2004 Red Sox are similar to the 2016 Cubs: that was their first world series win in over 80 years
18:09 look up Bill Buckner in the world series. probably one of the most infamous plays in world series history
The 2004, 2005, and 2016 World Series wins were all "curse" ending World Series. Each of those teams hadn't won in 80+ years. Other years are clips that show a franchise winning for the first time. The actual play might not be the most iconic in the series, but it's iconic because it's the last.
This vid was only until the 2016 World Series. There are three more champions:
2017 - Houston Astros (Cheaters from Jomboy’s vids) over the LA Dodgers 4-3
2018 - Boston Red Sox over the LA Dodgers 4-1
2019 - Washington Nationals (Nobody expected them to win) over the Houston Astros 4-3
At 18:03, there was a game where the Mets were up by one in the ninth and the last guy, who should have been the last out, hit a lazy pop up to second base and he dropped it, and two runs scored ending the game in a Yankees win instead.
The pitcher in that first clip was Tug McGraw, the father of country star Tim McGraw. But Tim grew up thinking his stepfather was really his father, and he used his name, Smith. It was only when he was 11 that he discovered his birth certificate, with Tug listed as his father. Even when his mother took him to meet Tug, he refused to acknowledge that he was his father till Tim was 18.
The Yankees had a few really good stretches, but the best is between 1947 and 1953 where they won 6 world series. In general, from 1921 through 1964, the Yankees appeared in 29 world series, and they won 20 of those. In that same 43 year stretch, the next closest team was the Cardinals with 6 world series wins.
That 2011 celebration was the game after David Freese had that crazy game tying triple and walk-off home run
When the Giants won 3 in 5 years near the end of the video, that was super iconic because they hadn’t won one in 54 years, and then boom, they go win 3.
18:05 bill buckener missed a ground ball that lost the red sox the world series. Now whenever you miss a ground ball it's called pulling a buckner
17:19 no I dont think you've seen this one I think you're talking about the Cubs vs Indians ws
I was at that Twins Game when they won!! It was AWESOME!!
Iconic moments: 2004, Red Sox hadn't won since 1918. 2005, White Sox hadn't won since 1917. 2016, "Cubs win the World Series" was the first broadcast of those words, because their previous WS win predated radio in 1908. Walk off HR 1993 Toronto Blue Jays
The yankees won 5 straight titles from 1949-1953, and were super dominant in the late 90s/early 00s. As for unluckiest team, you could argue it's the Rangers, who went to their first world series in 2010 and lost, and was one strike away twice in game 6 in 2011, only to lose that game and game 7, and have never won the title. Or the braves, who lost several times before finally winning it all in 1995
7:45 after the Toronto Blue Jays won the world series back to back in 1993, only the Toronto Raptors in 2019 won a championship as a Canadian team.
The better call was when Kirby Puckett hit the home run to force game 7 in Minnesota and Jack Buck said and we will see you….. Tomorrow night each time I hear that call it gives me goosebumps. And I’m a Braves fan lol
The most iconic of these is either Joe Carter's home run (1993) or Luis Gonzalez (2001). You should watch the following though to get the true impact of some of these:
1986 World Series game 6 (Dropping the ball at the worst possible time? Yeah, this game essentially ruined a guy's career that is borderline hall of fame level)
The entire 1991 World Series, but especially games 6 and 7
Virtually the entire 2001 World Series, but especially games 4, 5, and 7
The 2004 ALCS (the series before the World Series- the beginning of probably the most magical run in baseball history)
The entire last month of the 2011 Cardinals season. They were so far behind and had a series of absolutely miraculous wins to get to where they were.
Luka, Keep in mind, anything produced for television before 1998 in the US was below HD.
Obviously the biggest baseball memory for me being from St. Louis is 2011 Cardinals winning for the 13th time, which you looked at hometown hero David Freeze I believe. Most recent sport memory was seeing the Blues winning the Stanley Cup for the first time ever. Seeing these wins let's you kinda see the dynasty's of that time, the Cardnials along with a few others have been consistently dominate in recent history. I really believe the Blues are entering that period too with the coaching and young guys coming up.
In no particular order, '01, '04, and '16. If you ask any baseball fan, of any generation, you'll probably get one of these 3 probably 90% of the time as the ones that leap to mind first. 2001 was the first championship after 9/11, one of the best postseasons ever, one of the best World Series ever, and one of the best World Series games ever, plus it was a underdog (Arizona only being 4 years old at that point) against the Evil Empire (the Yankees were going for their 5th championship in 6 years and 4th straight). 2004 was after possibly the greatest comeback in sports history (coming back from a 3-0 deficit in the 3rd round, something that had never happened before), it was among the best series ever, and winning it broke an 86 year drought. And 2016 is also argued as the best World Series and best game in World Series history, on top of breaking a 108 year drought. '01 and '16 are probably the two most commonly argued games/series as being the best.
I'm a Chicago fan, but that game legitimately was the greatest game of baseball I've ever seen. 2001 was extremely memorable as well. And with 2004, if you asked people to recount it, they'd probably only remember the ALCS and this single clip of them finally winning. The ALCS was more memorable, except this clip always accompanies it. So if you asked me which last game plays that are the most iconic and memorable, I'd say '16, '01, then '04.
Joe Carter’s home run is very iconic and the Red Sox one in 2004 broke a 86 year World Series drought
Not so fun fact. The 1989 World Series (6:00) featured a cross city rivalry between The San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A's. A bridge separates the two cities, but a major earthquake happened moments before game 3 started, which postponed the game by 10 days. The damage was so severe, it made it hard for fans of the opposing teams to travel to the others games. While there was several fatalities due to overpasses collapsing onto cars, the World Series is credited with saving lives, as people left work early to watch the game at home, thus reducing traffic that would normally be packed with cars.
I dunno if Netflix UK has it, but you should check out the recent documentary "Long Gone Summer". It's about the 1998 home run record chase. They do a really great job of contextualizing why it was so important for the sport and everything surrounding it.
I would highly recommend watching the 2015 KC Royals.... They were the comeback kids and shocked the world by winning the World Series
2004, Red Sox' first World Series win since 1918. 2005, White Sox first World Series win since 1917. 2016, Cubs first World Series win since 1908. And if you think back on it, the Twins World Series win in 1987 was the first World Series for that franchise since 1924, when it was the original Washington Senators. Right now, the Cleveland Indians in the American League have been the longest without a World Series win, as their last one was in 1948. The Washington Nationals won last year, their first World Series appearance ever, and title since their inception as the Montreal Expos in 1969.
1980 - The Phillies were in their 98th season of existence and this was their very 1st ever World Championship. If that's not iconic, I don't know what is.
I might be a bit bias but in MY opinion the most iconic is when the cardinals won in 1982 and all of the fans charged the field.
Oh and also the one where the Cubs win the World Series in 2016 for the first time in over 100 years.
2004 is the most iconic. Or joes homerun
I feel like you can add Cubs 108 year curse broken as among top 3 if not top 5 to go along with yours
Brandon no
The Yankees won five straight from 1949 to 1953, as well as a lot in the 1920s and 1930s when they had Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig who were two of the greatest baseball players ever.
But if you like watching fans run on to the field/court to celebrate, again you have to check out college basketball. It still happens quite often in college basketball, not as much in American professional sports the last 30 years.
I would say the 1997 win by the Florida Marlins.....behind most of the game they rallied in the bottom of the 9th to tie (draw) the game and go to extra innings....in the bottom of the 11th, Edgar Renteria hits off of Nagy to score Craig Council for the 2-1 win....Council is now the manager of the Milwaukee Brewers
In my opinion the 1986 is the most iconic. The Mets made a huge comeback in the previous game. If you are a baseball fan you most likely know this World Series.
1993 Joe Carter's Walk off HR...A Walk Off HR has only ended the WS TWICE
1993 and 1960...1960 has the honor of being the ONLY WS GAME 7 Walk off HR. Pirates over Yankees (Bill Mazeroski; the man that hit that ball...is in the Hall of Fame)
3:38 My Tigers were in first place for the entire season; only one of two teams to do so, the other was the 1921 NY Yankees. I got to see that team play the Yankees that year, we won.
as a royals fan, the 2014 WS game 7 was literally the most painful thing ever, seeing how we couldn’t do anything, it’s like watching your grandma die.
I dont know if anyone commented this but in the last clip I was at that game and I think it may be one of the most significant world series in its history because the two teams had the longest records without a world series win
Red Sox in 04, White Sox in 05, and Cubs in '16 all ended 80+ year world series droughts. the 1991 World Series(Minnesota Twins vs Atlanta Braves) is often labelled the best World Series of all time.
You should react to urinating Texas Rangers legacy of failure
Srsly😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@lwmarts Dallas fan too?
Or any UT videos
in the 2016 world series, two cleveland outfielders thought the other was gonna catch a ball and it just dropped between them. the cubs capitalized on it
easy way to tell who is the home/away team in baseball. The team wearing white is always the home team, and the team wearing gray is always the road team. also, you should check out mlb iconic announcer calls!
I have to say that the 2013 Red Sox is most iconic due to the fact that the marathon bombing happened months earlier
The Cubs one is pretty iconic because it was their first world series win in over 100 years
most iconic. either joe carter, diamondbacks over the yankees (that one hurt), red sox winning after being down 3-0, the Yankees dominance in the 90s. those are probably the best ones.
1997: Cleveland was leading that game, which would’ve broken their championship drought. But blew it the 9th and extra innings.
2002: Giants lead it game 6, could’ve broken their drought. But blew it in Game 6 & 7.
1986: same as above but Red Sox blew it vs the Mets.
The score at the bottom is not the score of the game it's the score of the series it's best of 7 games.
I would say that the "best way you could win it" would be a straight steal of home, but a home run is a close second.
yea you gotta look at the 1986 Bill Buckner error!!
Keep up the videos king
Most iconic for me is the 2004 Red Sox win, because it broke the Curse of the Bambino. Finally, all those older Bostonians could die knowing their team won for the first time in 86 years!
The obvious answer is probably Joe Carter, but the 91 series that went to extras in game 7 with Jack Morris pitching 10 innings of shutout ending like that is still my favorite. Also the Red Sox and Cubs ending their insanely long ass droughts has to be up there.
