Mo Vaughn was my favorite player during my childhood. It’s too bad the Red Sox didn’t have more success with him, especially in 1998, which was arguably his best season. It’s also crazy to think we went from Mo Vaughn to David Ortiz so quickly.
Mo was the man before Ortiz was here
Yo Robbie, cool to see you here! Although… are we really calling 1998 better than his MVP season in 1995?
@@Gemnist98 yes, look at the numbers. 8:07 Arguably 96, 98, and maybe 97 were all better than 1995. I Love Mo, but by strictly numbers, Albert Belle clearly should’ve won MVP in 1995. Belle just wasn’t a great guy at the time and the press hated him and wouldn’t give him quite enough votes. Mo won by just 1 vote.
guess you could say the red sox, mo vaughn'd
@@sen6728 ayyyyyyy great joke
I got to see Mo Vaughn almost on a daily basis when he was in the Minors at Pawtucket. He really was the nicest guy who would sign autographs after the game for anyone that wanted one. He never turned anyone away and it was day after day. He was easily my favorite player and I’m happy with what he accomplished and is doing in life. Thanks for putting this video out!
Hell yeah, Mo Vaughn was awesome. .293 lifetime hitter with a .906 OPS, 328 HR's, 3 top 5 MVP seasons, and the 1995 AL MVP award. Also raked with runners on base. Awesome video, too!
A Mo Vaughn video? Hell yeah, he used to smash baseballs so angrily. One of the many stars from the Red Sox 90s.
Mo had one crazy year when I was growing up as a Mets fan and then he just disappeared. My family used to have a running joke “Where in the world is Mo Vaughn”. Great video and that homer as a met is legendary
What a human. Thank you for this, remember watching him play but never heard much after his career. I appreciate this
The 90’s were a time where every team seemed to have 4 elite sluggers and Mo still stood out
I met Mo Vaughn once. When I was 11 years old, my father enrolled me in Mo Vaughn hitting camp at Northeastern University. He saw a couple of imperfections in my swing and helped me fix them. One other cool fact is that there was a pitcher there too throwing BP. Maybe you’ve heard of Mike Maddux? 😊
Greg's brother
Literally every baseball aware person in New England imitated his stance at one point or another, and many had his poster on our wall. Underrated, hate he had health issues once he left us. And such a good human.
I loved watching Mo Vaughn growing up. Very underrated, hope he gets into the HOF. If you're Telling the story of baseball, you should include Mo Vaughn.
He was truly an out of this world hitter. I remember him being good, but I was pretty young back in those days. Also, he seems like such a humble and down to earth good hearted guy. Great interview and video.
What a champion. I was too young to appreciate his best years, but I remember him being the talk of the town during his last few with the red sox. My Dad probably talked about him more than any other player.
Ken Griffey Jr & Mo Vaughn were my top 2 favorite players growing up. Great vid!
As a kid growing up an hour from Fenway during his heyday, I marveled at his unique stance, seemingly *made* to launch them over Pesky’s pole.
Thank you so much for this, both of you. 👊🏼
I took a few swings at Mo’s batting cages in Hingham, MA back around the time of his retirement. A legend in Boston, even with his short run. Awesome insights from the man.
RIP Stuart Scott. Baseball tonight was childhood. Mo Vaughn, Barry Bonds, A-Rod, Griffey, Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, Frank Thomas, Jeff Bagwell, Jim Thome.... Goddamn we were spoiled. It reminds me of how WWF was awesome back then too. Everything in the 90's - early 00's was gold.
Out of all the power hitters from the 90s it seems like Mo Vaughn always
gets overlooked. Glad this video was done.
It really came down to his early retirement and being named in the Mitchell Report. Once that happened, his legacy was tainted.
One of my fondest memories was getting to watch Mo, Frank Thomas, and Albert Belle mash in the Home Run Derby in Texas in 1995. It was like 120 degrees and Thomas wound up winning. Great video and awesome interview!
He was definitely a great player and a lot of fun to watch.
I worked for one of his companies for three years and he really is a nice guy.
I am really glad I watched this. Mr. Vaughn is far more than a ball player.
What a great guy. Having gotten into baseball in 2016 I have never really heard of him. I’m really glad you made this and he was so willing to help you with it
The controlled destruction in that swing. Absolute power. I’ve never seen a more violent swing in baseball in my life.
Mo Vaughn's first home run was a 438 foot shot down the line that was 5 rows from going completely out of memorial stadium, he would've been the 7th to do it. I remember sitting there watching it on TV, he got our attention real fast, and he never looked back. Before Big Papi, there was The Hit Dawg.
THANK YOU!!
For about a 5-6 year stretch, this momster was among the top 10 scariest dudes in the box.
The interview with Vaughn was a great surprise. He's very insightful and well spoken
I will always remember Mo Vaughn's career fondly. He wasn't at his best when he was with my favorite team, the Mets, but he created moments with his raw, unadulterated power. If Cooperstown opened up a wing for players that were very good but not the greatest of their generation, Mo would be one of the featured players of the 90's.
Backyard Baseball 2001 legend! As a kid watching him hit was awesome! Congrats on getting to interview him!
My first ever MLB game was Boston vs the Tigers at Fenway in early October of 1991. What a game, not only did I see a young MV, who would quickly become my favorite childhood player, but also saw the likes of Wade Boggs and Ceacel Fielder play along with Joe Morgan and Sparky Anderson managing. Boston won 5 to 3 and to this day is one of the best memories of my life.
Grew up a Braves fan, loved Mo as just a general ball fan along with Griffey, but this makes all that much more real for me as a 33 year old now. This is the content i search YT for on a daily basis. If i had a son and lived nearby, he would be involved, if possible, in his academy. Thanks SRS, bomb content for my generation.
SRSMike doesn’t miss! My brother and father met Mo Vaughn as a kid and he has only had great things to say. I will always remember his majestic shots in sportscenter top 10 in the morning. Great work again, Mike.
Love Mo!.I met him in the mid 90’s,when I was a teen, after a game and he was incredibly nice to me..and everyone there!!.Class Act!!
It’s crazy how good of an overall hitter he was with his stance only looking like it was designed to obliterate baseballs. He was one of my favorite players on my most despised team.
!!!love the Mr. Ballen theme at the end by the way!!!
As a life long Yankee fan i have mad respect for Mo Vaughn, Former MVP and one of the best batting stances ever
Love you Mo , i remember going to sleep while watching baseball tonight on ESPN , your home runs were epic , thanx for the memories sir
That is an absolute unit of a man.
You’re definitely talking about Mike, right?
Of course
Mo was a favorite player of mine as a kid. He was a great guy and exciting to watch.
I honestly didn't know who he was but now that guy is a legend in my book. Would've been awesome to see him play back in the day.
one of the best baseball names in history, just rolls off the tongue so nicely
I love listening to Mo talk about baseball. Literally feels like a conversation I would have with my construction co-workers in NY, same accent and everything. Never realized what a down to earth regular guy he is.
Mo is one of the biggest reasons, looking back, at why I love the bosox still. One of the many but he was one of first Boston guys I really appreciated.
Big Mo. My favorite baseball player of all time. Smacked a lot of dingers whenever he came here in my hometown of Toronto
Big MO Vaughn Trucking...you need it shipped? MO's your guy!
Before Nomar, Mo was the man in Boston. He was my first favorite player as a kid. He opened up batting cages in my hometown in MA “Hit Dawg!”
My Dad also sings the praises of George "Boomer" Scott. Who was our big first baseman who mashed back for the Sox back in the 60s/70s.
Although Scott was remembered more for his exceptional defense.
Yo my guy. Salute to this video… Mo was a beast and brought swag back to the Red Sox. It’s the same DNA that Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz would adopt years later.
So cool and special that you got to interview him as part of this video!
A few more good years and he would have got his place in the hall. Glad to see a larger channel covering his career.
THANK YOU for doing a Hit Dog video! I grew up idolizing the guy in the 90s
Mo was a great player and you can tell he didn't mess his money up and is set for life.
I'm a long time Mets fan and I always loved Mo but after watching this video, I gained even more respect for him
Awesome interview! I remember as being a Mets fan he was power hitter but oh my I didn't realize he could hit for such high of an average consistently. Like those types of numbers don't exist. Jeff McNeil hits for a high average and little power and Pete Alonso hits for power and is a .240 to .260 hitter. Vaughn as you mentioned hit .344 with 30+ HRs. That's incredible. Video game cheat code level of offensive production. Didn't realize how dominant of an baseball player he was.
Bruh. YOU INTERVIEWED MO FREAKIN VAUGHN!
W O W! 😯👌🙏
Mo Vaughn returned my fanmail and signed my card during his 1995 MVP season. I'll never forget that and I still have that card to this day. Mo is the GOAT!
This was great.. I Grew up in Boston in the 90s and he was our idol. Very similar to what Ortiz became later on but there was such a "good guy quality" to Mo. This brought back some really good memories.
My favorite Red Sox player back in the mid 90s. The hit dog crushes baseballs. Very clutch. 93 just hit sticked George Bell when he tried to charged the mound after getting plunked by Aaron Sele
Mo Vaughn was one of the most feared hitters in the mid 90s. It was like every home run he hit was an absolute moonshot. I was heartbroken when he left the Red Sox, and I think that cursed his career as the injury bug hit in a big way and ended it just a few years later. He never should've left Boston, but with the Red Sox ownership and upper management at the time, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that any big Red Sox star wouldn't finish their career with the team.
Mo Vaughn and Mariano Rivera both wore number 42 after baseball retired Jackie Robinson’s number 42 league wide. That’s an incredible accomplishment. Showing some respect to the first man that brought the color barrier.
Wow... what an excellent profile of a player that gets lost in the shuffle when thinking of 90s-2000s players. The stats, as you alluded to, aren't there for HoF - but if the injuries hadn't started piling up and he could have kept up the pace through his 30s it would be a no-brainer, especially since I don't think I've ever heard his name in the same breath as the dreaded "S" word of that era.
Hall of Pretty Good and an awesome guy all around - that's a win to me. So cool of him to sit down with you for this.
I think his first one with the sox was over 430, an incredible blast for back then
Also a cool guy. I met him at a card show when he was in the minors. No one in line. I watched him drive in in a pretty beat up Bronco.
Signed a bat that i still have.
Unfortunately I also had Phil Plantier sign the same bat after. He was an exciting player who never really panned out.
Mo Vaughn was one of my favorites growing up.
In '91, I was a college freshman in Boston during Mo's rookie season, and Mo quickly became my 2nd favorite Red Sox player of all time. Ted Williams will always be my favorite, but Mo is a close second. I had an authentic Russell Athletic road Sox jersey with #42 on it, and for good reason! Unfortunately, I sold it along with 50+ of my other authentic Mitchell & Ness jersey collection. I had reached the point in my life where I became too old to be wearing throwbacks, but it was fun while it lasted. Thanks for this video. Too bad Dan Duquette drove Mo out of Boston. He was never the same after twisting his ankle on the dugout steps in Anaheim. I wish Mo Vaughn the best, he's a hall of famer in my book, short career but amazing stats, and among the best first basemen of his era! ⚾️
This is so cool. I was not a fan of any team he played on, but I was a huge fan of Mo Vaughn himself. You had to like the guy. Plus, yes, watching those HR highlights were awesome. Thanks for this video.
Buddy Groom reference is incredible; both by you and the wire!
His swing was such a beautiful combination of controlled aggression, I freaking loved it.
When I was 10 years old I was able to do a trip with my two buddies and our dads to visit the east coast baseball parks and the hall of fame. I saw Mo Vaughn get out of a limo before the game and he was the largest human I had ever seen. The nicest guy and I was able to play with his cousins son Cory Vaughn in Sacramento
One of my fav sluggers of my early childhood. His cousin played for my Rays for a while, but he was past his 50hr a season. I dont think he was eating as healthy a breakfast as he did in San Diego
I remember Mo’s short stint in NY. He was one of our favorite players
You should look at Cecil Fielder his time in Detroit was just amazing. As a Yankees fan he has a pivotal moment in Yankees history and summed up how Yankees fans were done with George in the early 90's. The day Steinbreener was suspended from baseball the crowd did a standing ovation when the news broke, then immediately after Cecil playing for Detroit hit a Porch Job. That summed up how bad the Yankees were before 1993.
Cecil finished 2nd in MVP voting in back to back years,one of those years was to Cal Ripken Jr. The voters refused to give it to him twice because the Tigers were really bad. Did I mention he hit an absolute moonshot out of Milwaukee County Stadium and almost hit one out of Tiger Stadium.
Cecil deserves praise for the power he had in the 90's instead of just being Prince's father.
ok this is epic
Great video. I'm glad Mo did an interview with you.
Mo was everyone’s favorite player. I got to see him play in person and his home runs were electric
Great video. I always admired Mo from playing MLB 2001 to watching him crush bombs on SportsCenter.
Fantastic Video. Great to actually hear from him directly, it must've been so great to actually sit down with him.
An unbelievable and humbling experience for sure
I was at that game, Shawn Estes gave up a grand slam to Sheffield, even though the Mets lost, that homerun was the furthest and most memorable in all the Met games I have gone to in my life.
What a guy. I admire him more now as a man than I did when he was killing baseballs.
i absolutely love this interview Mo was one of my favorite player as a kid class act all the way around my guy!!!
Incredible video. Always was a huge fan of Mo Vaughn.
As kid who lived just outside of Detroit in the 90’s. I mostly just knew Tiger players. Especially since there was no streaming service to watch out of market games. But he was one guy I knew about it and was in awe of. So cool to see that he’s a great on top of it.
I love/hate those scoreboard homeruns because you always wonder what the flightpath would have been. Also foul pole HRs.
I remember in 95, when he gave a kid a bat, the kid kept exclaiming, I got Mo Vaughn’s bat! Onions moment for sure.
Funnily enough, Buddy Groom was also one of the last players to wear 42, being the last one to do so for the Athletics in 96-97.
What a great video for such an inspiring man, here's to you Mo.🙌
Very cool to see you get this type of opportunity. Well deserved
Saw Mo when he played for Seton Hall. What a hitter.
Used to love watching Mo play. What a monster. He was so freakishly big, strong, and athletic, he reminded me of Larry Allen with a bat.
loved Mo Vaughn solely because of his weird stance, but he was a stud. I remember highlights of his long balls on Baseball tonight all the time.
My dad’s good friend played baseball against mo vaughn at trinity pawling high school. As you drive by the diamond the road is about 475 or so feet from home plate feet in right. Mo used to hit them over the road in high school. He also played football against him and he apparently got absolutely barreled over by him once or twice.
Big Mo! One of the best in the 90s. I wish he could have won a ring.
He loved the Foxy Lady in Providence RI
I'm glad mo is doin well post baseball. And oh ya Jose Canseco was on the red sox
Mo is one of those people.......that bring your faith back into us as a species. The pinnacle of success, yet so clearly humble and full of moral fiber.
With as cruddy as humans can be it's gonna take a lot more than seeing a humble, successful guy on a UA-cam video to restore my faith in humanity.
I love that he brought up Will Clark.
one of my favourite hitters when I was a kid
so cool that you got to interview him. Great vid, as always!
Mo is one of the rare athletes who felt bad getting paid by the mets and didnt play his final year so build low income housing throughout nyc a true hero
3:35 Well said and 5:12 about life in general
What a class act! Thanks for giving him the attention he deserves!
His rant against Troy Percival is legendary 😁
It's crazy to think that Mo Vaughn won AL MVP in the same league as Prime Thome, Thomas, Henderson, Griffey, Gonzo and Pudge 👀
Loved big Mo in the 90s !
