My Uncle also took me to this game... we sat in the 400 section on the first base side. He passed away in March. I'm watching this again because today would've been his 85th birthday.
I realize this is a very late condolence for your loss but my Dad and I also had a similar love of ⚾️⚾️🧢Baseball⚾️⚾️ and he also passed away. I had taken care of my Mom for years until she passed away, and we loved watching Packers games together. After my Mom passed I learned that my Dad had inoperable lung cancer. So I moved up by him and for the last 18 months of his life I cared for him as well. He died in my arms and it was the most Heartbreaking thing to ever happen to me. He died on the 4th of July, but that spring I ordered Dish Network for him, with the MLB package. He lover Baseball, especially the Brewers, but he'd watch any game and this was a perfect gift for him. They delivered it while he slept, and when he woke up he had the MLB Network front and center. He loved it! And it made my heart feel so good to see him excited like a little kid. Flipping through games, channels, and more! He only was able to enjoy it for 3 months but it was the best money I ever spent! I miss him so much! I am so sorry for your loss, but they are watching ⚾️🧢Baseball🧢⚾️ and are content and pain free. God Bless you and your family and friends!
My dad gave me two legacy gifts - music and baseball. He was a professional musician and teacher, and a big Cincinnati Reds fan - way back in 39-40 back to back penants and the championship in 40. I was not quite 4 years old when the Reds next played in a World Series in 61. Dad was a big fan of Frank Robinson and was permanently pissed when he was traded away. I got into baseball in 67, watching a rookie by the name of Gary Nolan strike out Willie Mays four times. Dad explained to me the role of the pitcher. He played catch with me when I was thinking I'm gonna be a pitcher - a 10 year old with a blazing 30 mph fastball and a really wacky curve ball that Dad couldn't catch... lol. I never played a game as a pitcher except for softball. I was more like Charley Brown - I often was team captain and pitcher in lunchtime softball. I taught myself to switch hit and became a much better hitter left handed, but never for power and I was the slowest runner in the entire school. But I'd steal bases anyway. When the Reds won the pennant in 70 I really though it would be THE year. I remember talking to my dad about Gary Nolan who got off to a fantastic start in 72. But Dad died in September of 72 at age 57, and didn't get to see that awesome playoff series with the Pirates or the World Series with Oakland - or the championships that followed in 75 and 76. Dad was a big fan of Gary Nolan - we're talking about someone who remembered Johnny Vander Meer's double no-hitters. Took me to meet Gary at an Albers supermarket meet n greet and autograph signing. He got me autographs of Vada Pinson and Lee May at the car dealership he was working at in 68. I played music all through high school, and at age 40 started all over this time playing saxophone and eventually the Hammond organ - I get chills when I hear old ball games with the Hammond as we had at Crosley Field with Ronny Dale - who my dad knew of course, from the union. He once introduced me to National League President Warren Giles, who was a member of our church. He showed up for a pancake supper... I think he was the only person my dad ever called "Mister". Mister Giles, this is my son Andy and we're big Reds fans. Anyway this probably isn't the best place to talk about my dad but why not. I'm puffing on my pipe - another thing I got from Dad, even have a couple of his pipes to smoke now and then. I stopped following baseball after the 1994 realignment and strike. I don't believe in wild cards or pitch clocks or shift bans or any of the other stupid new rules put in place to pander to people who don't like and don't understand baseball. But thanks to youtube, I can re-live a lot of great baseball. This 82 All-Star game will be interesting. It was the worst season in Reds history, so I doubt there will be 7 Reds on the roster as there were in 76. So play ball!
this game (not this video we're watching) was the first thing I ever recorded off TV with the $700 VCR I bought that week. I had to work my night shift at McDonald's so I taped it and watched it when I got home. I felt so modern.
You know that story is so funny, because I also was the same way. I felt the same way as well. I remember after we got our first VCR. That was it, we had ARRIVED! I taped everything...lol. The really funny part it a month or two later was has a chance to purchase another VCR CHEAPER! However it was a Sony Beta-Max. I rigged up AV cords for the video/audio out from the playing VCR into the Video/Audio in on the receiving VCR. There by dubbing my first movie! I really miss the 70's and it's simplicity of technology, and everything else. It was just a great time to be ALIVE!
I use to route for the Montreal Expos when they had some really great players, Raines, Dawson, Carter, Wallach, etc. it’s a shame they didn’t get to play in a World Series with that team it would of been fun to watch
I was 7 and I'm from Montreal. I'm very glad you uploaded it. I'm watching it 40 years later and if you noticed, there were 5 Expos players selected, and I didn't know much of Rogers and Oliver, only Carter, Dawson and Raines. I know the Phillies were a good them back then, I had bought Steve Carlton baseball card wich is my most valuable baseball card, and who could forget Mike Schmidt, especially in Montreal. Thank you!
Al Michaels, Howard Cosell and Mrs. Robinson....classic. Also the late Keith Jackson.. I was a youngster....great memories and reminds me of my mother providing a great home atmosphere despite not having a lot of money. Children were aloud to be children..
@@jamalmccoy4904 Indeed, I can’t describe the feelings to my youngsters because of course they weren’t around then. Watching this can bring a smile or tears depending on the people and events that surround our lives. The intro alone gives a chill and smile being able to relive a time where these games, players, etc , played a part of our youth. Salute!
I still say that the all-time best era of Monday Night Football was the 70's. Now for baseball I am a bit biased. My Milwaukee Brewers have one of the BEST ALL-TIME announcers in ⚾️Baseball's⚾️ history. That being Bob Uecker. We also have a really good team on Television as well. Brian Anderson is one of my favorite Baseball announcers on television today. Bill Schroeder was great as his teammate. However the 70's and 80's had the best pregame shows as well as the best Post-game shows. The NFL Today with Brent Musberger, Irv Cross, Jimmie the Greek, and Jayne Kennedy, were perfect! Their Baseball teams were just as spectacular!
Al Michaels was known to hate this arrangement - he felt that he should have been the top baseball announcer on ABC for years instead of splitting the duties with Jackson, etc. He was finally named the sole #1 announcer the next season.
keith hernandez on st louis gary carter on montreal and ray knight on houston. all 3 of them would celebrate together 4 years later as mets teamates winning the world series
i could watch every pitch and every second of baseball back then as a 14-yr-old. presently my love for baseball has fallen off a cliff. i can barely watch two innings of baseball these days.
All I remember was the national s beating american league every game for the longest time. Still george brett was my favorite. I love to watch Brett and Carew hit, great swings
no UA-cam, internet, mlb the show or any other MLB outlets, espn was limited back than. back than if you wanted to see your favorite stars it was this week in baseball and the ALL STAR GAME, at 11 yrs old i remember riding my bike home as fast as i could so i wouldn't miss 1 minute of the game and of course my favorite part was the player introductions. topps, fleer, donruss baseball cards, sticker books, this week in baseball, the game of the week, the baseball bunch, man i grew up in such an awesome time.
Every team's uniforms were unique and original...So classy way better than the ones they wear now... All these players were great and they made the all star game some thing special and worth tuning in to...the love for Americas past time...
Seeing this game reminds me of things I miss in Major League Baseball in Montréal: 1. Opening line ups done in French and English 2. The team logos on top of the dugouts. In my opinion they should’ve been on the wall of the outfield. 3. In later years, advertisements in both French and English behind home plate for products and movies. 4. Youppi the mascot. 5. The Expos uniforms. 6. Gary Carter 7. The track and field markings on the field still left over From the 1976 Olympics, which were removed in the renovation of the stadium. Be it an expansion team or an existing team, please Bring major-league baseball back to Montréal.
Soooooo proud !!! The ‘Spos were among the best team in baseball back those years... and the Incredible players ... half the Expos team could have been in the lineup and competed in this game.... plus Youppi in a tuxedo... LOVE IT !!!
The Reds had the second worst record in all of baseball in 1982 yet they placed three players on the All Star game: Mario Soto, Tom Hume and Dave Concepcion as a starter. Their manager, John McNamara, was on the coaching staff. Odd. Soto definitely deserved it.
For a stadium that opened just 5 years prior, it was in lousy condition. That artificial turf was the worst I've ever seen, hardly worthy of an All star game.
People forget Dennis Eckersley was a very good All-Star STARTING pitcher BEFORE he became one of the best closers in baseball in the late 80s and through most of the 90s.
Tremendos peloters my bonitos Recurdos se quedaran en my corason para siempre viva el juego de pelota caliente un furte abraso para tosdo ustedes grasias por todo
Amazing some of the best closers every including Eckersley started as a starter. Who would have thunk years later he would have been one of the best closers.
43:53 He is the greatest player in NPB, recorded 3,085 hits for his career as most career hit. Isao Harimoto is his Japanese name, and his Korean name is Hoon Jang.
I lived in Mont Saint-Hilaire, a suburb of Montreal when I worked up there for a year long stretch. Went to Olympic Stadium. My God what a dump. It was stale and had this cold chill to it. Just cavernous and not indicative of how awesome the city was.
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C It sure enough not bigger than our football in the United States. In our world, Soccer wouldn't be no more than a distant fifth in the hearts and minds to many of us.
Even in July 2020 watching this game is so awesome and I am really enjoyining it. Just watching these legends playing the game that I love is breathtaking. While watch it, I remember my dad, the newspaper and the TV talking about them. Some of them I do remember from the mods 80’s when start watching the games and they still were playing, but also the others that were retired but the mid 80’s is just Sick! The most that I liked was watching playing together in the second base a Manny Trillo (my favourite second base) and David Conception in the short stop, you just not get this everyday. Also, liked to watch the ads from that time!
The type of player Pete rose was it's a shame he's not in Cooperstown... I believe he will make it one day but he won't be alive to see it.... he was a special talent I will never see again in my time....
I definitely agree with you, for whatever he did, & he was wrong in betting on baseball, he's paid for it & then some! Pete no doubt should be in the Hall for his on field accomplishments! He has to go in- but more than Pete, Shoeless Joe Jackson needs to be in!!
So much history big names legendary players and managers this is a timeless video I wished they would have had interleague games back then it would have been much more competitive but like I said this is timeless
@@BAYAREA-kd1ig went to this game at 12 . saw the free batting practice the day b4 also . Memories of Tim Raines stealing 2nd . BTW there was no poutine back then .
The year 1982 was one of the most EPIC TIMES, and also the most HORRIBLE TIMES. My team the Milwaukee Brewers went to the 🌎🌎World🌎🌎Series!⚾️🧢⚾️ It was the happiest time ever for me. But they lost, and then later the following month, we got a call from my Grandma. My Grandpa was having chest pains. He had a massive heart attack and died. He helped raise me so his death was extremely difficult and painful for me to endure. I was lost. This game was in July which was much earlier in the year was a fun game. 1982 was a banner year for the Brewers! Sadly it was the last time they ever saw the World Series! That Figures! But considering how the front office operates I am shocked we ever got close again!
Tom Lasorda and Billy Martin, they don't make managers like them anymore. Rickey Henderson already looked pretty jacked for the early '80's and George Plimpton pimpin' Intellivison! Clever Paper Lion reference.
That old artificial turf at Olympic stadium had to be the absolute worst playing surface in all of professional sports!!! It looks so old and dingy and worn out. You can clearly see the patches and seams sticking out of the turf. I’m surprised MLB officials would approve such an injury risk.
I was at the 'Big Owe' two days earlier to watch my first MLB game. Expos lost to San Francisco in ten innings. It was the same day Italy defeated West Germany to win the FIFA World Cup in Madrid.
It's funny...at the start when Al Michaels says "39 years ago today....22 years ago today....and 11 years ago today"....those footage clips look a thousand years old. Meanwhile...this game is now 39 years old...and it doesn't seem like its that old. Does that make sense?
46:30 All time All Start record American League - 48 Wins National League _ 44 Wins Color Commenter Don Drysdale would pass away 11 years later in the same city of Montreal as a member of the Dodger broadcast crew.
Haven't read all the comments but not sure if anyone pointed out that at 1:15:33 Dennis Eckersley comes up to bat wearing a Cleveland Indians helmet although he was on the Redsox at the time. Of course, Cleveland was the team he broke into the majors with.
I remember that homerun he hit so well. My girlfriend was swallowing my throat yogurt when the ball sailed over the right field fence. She tried to cheer, but she had an all-day sucker in her mouth.
I remember when he threw a no-hitter for the Cleveland Indians against the California Angels and in that same year (1976) he struck out 200 batters ,he also won 20 games for the Red Sox in 1978 ... Dennis Eckersley was definitely one of the best starters in the 70s but then in the middle 80s converted into the best relievers in MLB history
He introduced the players by position group instead of by team, as is normally done. The poor Americal Leaguers didn't get the message. Pretty awkward for them.
Some still do. Which is why I'm watching these games on UA-cam rather than the sorry excuse for "baseball" in 2023 as I write this. Current baseball sucks.
The commercials were the best part. I am telling you. If these companies went back to these retro commercials and branding, it would solve our problems. Pepsi did it.
Hello. Folks. I wonder why flags of some nations like S. Korea, Spain, Brazil, Taiwan were places back side of AL all stars. Is there any event related to baseball around that time in Montreal?
Of all the players on both squads, 17 of them are--or will be--in the Hall of Fame, as Tim Raines will be going this July. And had Rose not succumbed to temptation, it would've been 18.
What's even funnier was in the next season, 1983 the "Pine Tar Incident" occurred between the Royals and Yankees. Billy went back to New York and the rest is history.
That stadium and that turf is an embarrassment. The freaking track from the olympics in 1976 is still visible. What a patchwork mess that AstroTurf is.
Marty Noble, a NY sportswriter, dubbed Stade Olympique nothing more "than the world's largest ashtray." When this stadium was built, it wasn't with the Expos in mind. And it was supposed to be a retractable roof, but the city ran out of money at the time this game was played. When it was built in 1987, it didn't work effectively at all.
5:57 - Grey haired guy in the Wendy’s commercial - isn’t that the banker from Scarface? Also the husband of Loretta Swit from M*A*S*H at that time. Used to hate the Montreal fans because of hockey - not so much after hearing Rachel Robinson’s story.
Yes it's the banker from Scarface. In that universe he ate Wendy's to save money. Then one day a Cuban came in with bags of money he started eating New York steak on the regular. Also Rita Wilson was in the commercial.
I was 19 on this now classic night ⭐️. Absolutely wonderful times to have been young !💖🌈.....This was the season Henderson had 84 / of 88 SB at the All Star 🌟 break ( He would get the STILL AND FOREVER MLB Record of 130 ! )
35 years ago. I was at that game, my uncle had two tickets. Unfortunately he passed away just two years later, still missing watching sports with him
Patrick Ols how old are you
My Uncle also took me to this game... we sat in the 400 section on the first base side.
He passed away in March. I'm watching this again because today would've been his 85th birthday.
Old enough to be able to be at that game and even old enough to actually been to Jarry Park many times in the early 70’s

He loved it! And it made my heart feel so good to see him excited like a little kid. Flipping through games, channels, and more! He only was able to enjoy it for 3 months but it was the best money I ever spent! I miss him so much!

great game to watch from the golden age of sports, (1980's).

Some of them I do remember from the mods 80’s when start watching the games and they still were playing, but also the others that were retired but the mid 80’s is just Sick! The most that I liked was watching playing together in the second base a Manny Trillo (my favourite second base) and David Conception in the short stop, you just not get this everyday. Also, liked to watch the ads from that time!
NOTHING WAS LIKE NBC GAME OF WEEK IN THE 80’S WITH JOE GARAGIOLA & TONY KUBEK!! THEY WERE BASEBALL!!
Keith Jackson was the best! They could have sold records of that voice.
1:17:50 mark- they talk about Mike Schmidt's huge homerun in Montreal, but show one of his homers in Philadelphia.
The type of player Pete rose was it's a shame he's not in Cooperstown... I believe he will make it one day but he won't be alive to see it.... he was a special talent I will never see again in my time....
Hes a liar. One should have ethics and principles in there lives.
I definitely agree with you, for whatever he did, & he was wrong in betting on baseball, he's paid for it & then some! Pete no doubt should be in the Hall for his on field accomplishments! He has to go in- but more than Pete, Shoeless Joe Jackson needs to be in!!
They'll put him in the HOF as soon as he's in the ground. FWIW, my first game I went to was in 1984, Expos, Pete Rose in the lineup
So much history big names legendary players and managers this is a timeless video I wished they would have had interleague games back then it would have been much more competitive but like I said this is timeless
The ovation Gary Carter got still gives me chills.
j'aime beaucoup ça
Went to this game when I was 9.
ScottandDottie Demick year and a half before I was born
I was there too. I was 6.
Congrats did you eat poutine ?
@@BAYAREA-kd1ig went to this game at 12 . saw the free batting practice
the day b4 also . Memories of Tim Raines stealing 2nd . BTW there was no poutine back then .
Poor Expos! 😢 perhaps one day major-league baseball will give them another try?
Mario Soto was beastie...
Zaxxon by Sega. That was when you had to go to an arcade to play a game of that caliber.
thanks for the upload.
NL starters were pretty much all Expos and Phillies
Three Phillies and Three Expos starting for the NL along with a Red and a Brave.
Royals dominated the American League with about 5 players
The year 1982 was one of the most EPIC TIMES, and also the most HORRIBLE TIMES. My team the Milwaukee Brewers went to the
🌎🌎World🌎🌎Series!⚾️🧢⚾️ It was the happiest time ever for me. But they lost, and then later the following month, we got a call from my Grandma. My Grandpa was having chest pains. He had a massive heart attack and died. He helped raise me so his death was extremely difficult and painful for me to endure. I was lost. This game was in July which was much earlier in the year was a fun game. 1982 was a banner year for the Brewers! Sadly it was the last time they ever saw the World Series! That Figures! But considering how the front office operates I am shocked we ever got close again!
Tom Lasorda and Billy Martin, they don't make managers like them anymore. Rickey Henderson already looked pretty jacked for the early '80's and George Plimpton pimpin' Intellivison! Clever Paper Lion reference.
Lance Parrish threw out three runners trying to steal in this game. That's an all-star record it will be hard to beat.
🎶 time flies and you are there , time tries to make you care ... 🎶
Or is .... 🎶 time cries and let's you care 🎶
That old artificial turf at Olympic stadium had to be the absolute worst playing surface in all of professional sports!!! It looks so old and dingy and worn out. You can clearly see the patches and seams sticking out of the turf. I’m surprised MLB officials would approve such an injury risk.
Let's Go Expos!!!
Don't forget youppi!!!
Watching these vids ive noticed it took MLB 60 yrs to finally master all star introductions
Thats's so funny and true! I've been watching a bunch of these All Star games from the 70's and 80's and they screw up the player intros everytime.
I was at the 'Big Owe' two days earlier to watch my first MLB game. Expos lost to San Francisco in ten innings. It was the same day Italy defeated West Germany to win the FIFA World Cup in Madrid.
That story is beautiful.
Billy Martin should be in the hall of fame. Period.
Raines rose and concepcion also
Roky Erickson he was a drunk that got fired 9 times.
Billy martain players, baseball manager
the royals had two fellas named Frank White selected to the A.L. team that season.
Rita Wilson in the Wendy's commercial
So was the banker from Scarface
Abner Doubleday is a myth. Sadly Al Micheals didn't know this in 1982.
It's funny...at the start when Al Michaels says "39 years ago today....22 years ago today....and 11 years ago today"....those footage clips look a thousand years old. Meanwhile...this game is now 39 years old...and it doesn't seem like its that old. Does that make sense?
46:30 All time All Start record
American League - 48 Wins
National League _ 44 Wins
Color Commenter Don Drysdale would pass away 11 years later in the same city of Montreal as a member of the Dodger broadcast crew.
Haven't read all the comments but not sure if anyone pointed out that at 1:15:33 Dennis Eckersley comes up to bat wearing a Cleveland Indians helmet although he was on the Redsox at the time. Of course, Cleveland was the team he broke into the majors with.
That happened quite often at all star games during this era. The logistics of getting equipment to the All-Star site sometimes ran a little short.
I wonder what would've or could've been for the Expos if the season didn't end in 1994 🤔
3 former Red Sox players in the starting lineup (Fred Lynn, Cecil Cooper, Carlton Fisk) from the 1975 World Series team.
15:16 Zoxxon , at your favorite arcade! Awesome times!
Imagine the loud booing if Rick Monday had been an All-Star this particular year.
I remember that homerun he hit so well. My girlfriend was swallowing my throat yogurt when the ball sailed over the right field fence. She tried to cheer, but she had an all-day sucker in her mouth.
@@ronschaffer5959 Say What? Lol!
my pop had #EXPOS season tix from 1982 -1994. sec 317? i just missed a foul ball this night. so many games attended from early 70s until 2004.
Bring back the Expos.
Well rumor has it Montreal and Portland are the next expansion teams. They've been told get ready good chance they'll be selected.
@@rj1982ii one can hope.
Montreal expos pete rose old team.: pribaby went under paying pete rose all that american money
Dennis Eckersley's hair hasn't changed in 40 years
Wow, I do not remember Eckersley as a starter! In my memory, he’s the A’s ace closer.
I remember when he threw a no-hitter for the Cleveland Indians against the California Angels and in that same year (1976) he struck out 200 batters ,he also won 20 games for the Red Sox in 1978 ... Dennis Eckersley was definitely one of the best starters in the 70s but then in the middle 80s converted into the best relievers in MLB history
It's usually been a popularity contest in the all star game.
Man, I miss the Expos.
The player introductions were all messed up. And so was Olympic Stadium.
Crazy, how it was messed up so bad.
The Big Owe as well as The Big Oh No!!!! Horrible stadium for baseball but it had a wonderful atmosphere.
He introduced the players by position group instead of by team, as is normally done. The poor Americal Leaguers didn't get the message. Pretty awkward for them.
Watched in 2024 ⚾
i believe that was tom hanks' future wife in the wendy's commercial. a doll back then.
Ten years after she made her acting debut on The Brady Bunch....where Don Drysdale once made a guest appearance.

Listening to Pete Rose talking about players losing batting average while we live in an era where no one cares about batting average anymore.
Some still do. Which is why I'm watching these games on UA-cam rather than the sorry excuse for "baseball" in 2023 as I write this. Current baseball sucks.
Dennis eckersley is confused. Boston uniform and Indian helmet
The days when players WANTED to play in the all star game and not make excuses to miss the game
Fernando Valenzuela.. El mejor.. la Fernandomania en todo su apogeo..
With everyone they letting in the hall today they need to put #3 Dale Murphy in..
Look at how many great black players used to play baseball..
now they all wanna play football
I was at that game, i remember vividly Raines stealing 2nd and Al 'Scoop' Oliver playing most of the game
Bruce Jenner is now a woman. How times have changed.
The commercials were the best part. I am telling you. If these companies went back to these retro commercials and branding, it would solve our problems. Pepsi did it.
Hello. Folks. I wonder why flags of some nations like S. Korea, Spain, Brazil, Taiwan were places back side of AL all stars. Is there any event related to baseball around that time in Montreal?
Rachel Robinson is still alive…. I believe she’s 100???
I wanna go 2 Montreal
You would love it.....🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Best Strip Clubs in North America.
Of all the players on both squads, 17 of them are--or will be--in the Hall of Fame, as Tim Raines will be going this July. And had Rose not succumbed to temptation, it would've been 18.
And had Rod Carew not come down with tendinitis, he would've been the 18th All-Star on here.
75-82 Rose was in every allstar game .
Oh yeah Carew what a hit machine
Billy Martin belongs in hall also...concepcion as well
@@AgeofCraccadilliaassent yeah! Dave concepcion absolutely he was an important piece to the Big Red Machine...
Floyd Bannister looked like he had great stuff! Crying shame he played on such crappy teams.
Wow, Billy Martin and Reggie Jackson shaking hands.
What's even funnier was in the next season, 1983 the "Pine Tar Incident" occurred between the Royals and Yankees. Billy went back to New York and the rest is history.
That stadium and that turf is an embarrassment. The freaking track from the olympics in 1976 is still visible. What a patchwork mess that AstroTurf is.
Marty Noble, a NY sportswriter, dubbed Stade Olympique nothing more "than the world's largest ashtray." When this stadium was built, it wasn't with the Expos in mind. And it was supposed to be a retractable roof, but the city ran out of money at the time this game was played. When it was built in 1987, it didn't work effectively at all.
As for the turf, this was why Andre wanted to leave Montreal so badly, as the concrete turf took a pounding to his knees by 1986.
gdub454 ummm....what?
Sorry I made a mistake...my comment was meant for NFL-MLB Classics..not you
NFL-MLB Classics Olympic Stadium wasnt built in 1987 there mister moron..
Al Michaels is wrong: Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball. He should know that. It was known even back then that he didn't.
5:57 - Grey haired guy in the Wendy’s commercial - isn’t that the banker from Scarface? Also the husband of Loretta Swit from M*A*S*H at that time. Used to hate the Montreal fans because of hockey - not so much after hearing Rachel Robinson’s story.
Yes it's the banker from Scarface. In that universe he ate Wendy's to save money. Then one day a Cuban came in with bags of money he started eating New York steak on the regular. Also Rita Wilson was in the commercial.
Go habs go!
3:16:51 - Actor Jeff Daniels in a Ban anti-perspirant commercial.
Is that Jeff Daniels in the Ban commercial? 3:16:50
yes.
Then around the 3:17:45 mark you see the Dad from Teen Wolf and I believe Caretaker from The Longest Yard
Dumb and Dumber!!!!! 😊
Thanks. Again
Is that the Schmengy brothers doing player introductions?
Amazing event!
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you can help in anyway.

I hope you saw the Intellivision commercial at 1:04:27 with George Plimption featuring Star Strike!
@@privatepenguin3137 Absolutely! My whole childhood is in this video!
I was 19 on this now classic night ⭐️. Absolutely wonderful times to have been young !💖🌈.....This was the season Henderson had 84 / of 88 SB at the All Star 🌟 break ( He would get the STILL AND FOREVER MLB Record of 130 ! )
I don't think anyone is catch that record for a while.....
HE HAD 84 SB IN “ 88” GAMES NOT 88 ATTEMPTS!! RICKEY HAD 84 SB IN 107 ATTEMPTS.
@@MIKIEEYEZ1975 ✌️
Why does this singer remind me of Lyndon Slewidge (The Ottawa Senators regular anthem singer)?
4:19-4:23.; What did Howard Cosell say?...
tthomaselli2 "can you explain the warmth of the felling of Mount Royal" (a place in Montreal)
Actually, he just enunciated Montreal in French (the T is silent among other things).
tthomaselli2 who gives a fuck it was Cosell he was a legend
No, he said: "Can you explain the warmth of the feeling for Montréal" (That's Montreal pronounced in french. Mon-Ray-Al)
12:07 - 12:11 . . . if a broadcaster said this in 2020, he'd probably be fired . . or at the very least, suspended.
Everyone is offended today. For everything. Which is why you took the time to write your comment right? Wow.
