Just wanna swing by and say thanks for the upload. I've been wanting to do a project on this game for a long time, but only now was I able to do it thanks to your recording.
Once again, this individual wins the internet. I still remember the Sportscenter highlights of it the next day which showed every pitch in an abbreviated 60 second video and the anchor said something like "this is no exaggeration, you're seeing every one of Maddux's pitches today." It's funny too because MLB's UA-cam account lists it as 76 pitches, but Pete Van Wieren states it was 78. It's also amazing to me that he gave up a run and 5 hits while still using less than 80 pitches.
What I remember about that sportscenter highlight was during the interview clips after the highlights, somebody on the Cubs was mouthing off about how it's embarrassing because "he can't throw hard enough to break a pane of glass and you look at him and he looks like a nerd" but you still can't hit him. Well Stuart Scott had a hilarious rebuttal for this guy. While the screen showed the postgame graphics, Scott goes on this little amusing, poetic rant "Well a nerd is a square, and a square is ice, and ice is water, and water is nature, and nature is beautiful!" Stuart Scott would have none of that nerd shaming on his show, esp not at Maddux's expense. I was in stitches laughing and wondering what the hell I had just heard. If Matt Taylor can remember that sportscenter highlight like it was yesterday, please tell me you remember that part cause that was the cherry on top haha.
Somebody finally uploaded this! I always remember this game very well, and besides a few clips, I haven’t seen it since 1997! Thank you very much for uploading this!
Glad you like it! Feel free to share our channel with anyone you want -- we don't do this for glory, for renumeration, we do it because we're sure there are baseball fans like yourself, and us, who want to watch old games. We're just happy to share our collection with as many who want to watch.
1:36:10 - Skip Carey "Mark Wohlers is in the bullpen, but his heart's not in it"! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Skip Carey was always great at getting in a perfectly timed funny line.
Oh thank you for finding and uploading this brilliant gem by Maddux! On one of my Braves Facebook pages, this game has been brought up before. One said it was 76 pitches. But it can be concluded it was less than 80 pitches.
Technically this wasn't "a Maddux" because it wasn't a shutout, however giving up a run and still pitching less than 80 pitches is almost more impressive.
That’s not funny man…and still too soon,I’m still convinced that Fat POS had $$$$$ on the fish in that series…WORST Umpired game I’ve ever seen…it’s definitely up there with any game Angel Hernandez ever called SMH 🙄🤦🤷♂️
We don't believe so, not with the plethora of personally-recorded and uploaded games on various channels on UA-cam. One would imagine one would attract the wrong type of attention from MLB's barristers if one would be, say, selling copies of these games -- which we do not do.

You're absolutely welcome. We hope there's an opportunity to help you out again in the future!
Thanks so much for uploading this. This is the baseball I grew up with, and I've dreamed of being able to watch these games again.

This was baseball’s version of a painting by Henri Matisse…Straight up masterpiece

Thank you for this! When I think back to my favorite regular season Braves games, especially on TBS, I think of this gem from Maddux.
bless you for uploading this
I was in Vegas on a family trip and my dad asked me who he should bet money on, I told him the braves because Maddux was pitching. It was this game
Greg was on a whole different level.

That's gold, Jerry! Gold!
Wow the game that gets referred as the first Maddux happened to be on the date I was born that's neat.
Technically not a Maddux because it's not a shutout
And no one still has been able to do a better pitching performance 😊
17:55 perfect pitch
Thank you foolish baseball!

That goddam tailing pitch on lefties...
no strike zone box, no score graphics on the screen. i prefer this
Most importantly, no behind-the-batter ads.
Maddux was king
This may be why Greg Maddux was unhittable. The ump's used to give him strikes a foot off the plate 1:35:33
Yes literally a FOOT of the plate. Unbelievable pitch is off by more than half the width of the plate.
Eric Gregg’s strike zone would make another appearance in the playoffs lol.

Thank you Foolish Baseball!
That's pretty awesome of that channel to highlight what we did here.
@@ThisIsWhereYouFindBaseball this is great stuff. Maddux was an artist. Thanks for uploading
Foolish Baseball brought me here.
We certainly hope you and everyone here because of them enjoy watching the games we've uploaded.
59:19 best ab lol
Forgot Larry David did commentary.
This doesn’t count as piracy/stealing, right?

@@ThisIsWhereYouFindBaseball and MLB doesn't seem to care if its content from yesteryear is freely shown. Unlike $ony or the V of Doom
Foolish Baseball fan here, too. Check out the video on this game if you haven’t already done so.
