@M yes, soccer is the most powerful sport on Earth, but in North America it isn't even a major sport. The MLS has done well, but it doesn't constitute as North America's 5th major sport. Not sure what soccer has to do with the 1982 World Series.
I went to games 3 and 4 here in Milwaukee. Game 4 was a day game. Remember them in the WS? My dad applied for and got 4 bleacher seats in a sort of lottery. I was 20 then. I can't believe it's been almost 38 years. That bottom of the 7th in game 4 was the loudest I've ever heard County Stadium, and I went to many games there.
Milwaukee County Stadium looks like a Farm Show venue at 9:38. Baseball and Football stadiums were so cool back in the day, especially the ones that were used for both sports.
Im a born and raised diehard Astros fan but something about the Cardinals of '82 and '85 I loved. It was all the players collectively as one team. I remember all those guys. As well as Whitey. So much talent and camaraderie. Of course I pulled for them in both World Series. The Astros werent contenders at that time. Brings back good memories nonetheless.
@Michael Heathman They play inside a building? What the hell does that have to do with anything? I love people. They never fail to humor me. Humor me some more inarticulate one.
@Michael Heathman That's the first thing you did when you woke up this morning wasn't it. Between 6 and 9am (depending on where you live) on a Saturday morning you decide to troll? Get a life. Eat breakfast, go for a walk or something. Then after that, if you still have a need to troll, have at it.
Favorite World Series video. Dick Enberg is the narrator. The Music is good which I like. Cardinals in seven over the Brewers in the 1982 World Series. A True good Fall Classic.
I watched this cassette everyday when I was like 3-4 yo. I mean everyday. Brought back a lot of memories. It still holds up pretty good. A fun watch. Thanks for posting.
Matthew Frey: Yeah, McGee beat us up in the 82 series. Then 16 years later in 1998 after the Brewers joined the national league, McGee was back with the Cardinals, and was beating up on us again during a season game at county stadium. The Brewer fans were booing every time McGee stepped up to the plate. And the announcers said "These Brewer fans have LONG memories!!"
I used to live in Belleville, Illinois when Ted Simmons was catcher. I moved back to Cleveland in 1974 when George Hendrick was an Indian. The Cards was my 2nd team. It was great seeing the Cards win the ship!
I remember 1982 like it was yesterday. As a young adult I was back into baseball cards, going to card shows at the Anaheim Convention Center. Boggs, Ripken, Gwynn, McGee, Gaetti, Sandberg, Hrbek were all rookies. It was a great time in Baseball.
As a Brewer fan, this one's tough to watch (even though I wasn't born yet and knew exactly how it happened). It's strange having only seen these players as numbers that are retired, but now watching them play, albeit 35 years later.
Haha... June 13, 1982 I attended my first, and penultimate Brewers game. What a pathetic pseudo-team. The Brewers suck. And, unless you're a supporter of pedophelia, cigarette distribution to minors, and manufactured alcoholism, you agree. Disgusting... the Brewers and their "fans".
I was at the first two games in that series. Same seats too. Almost caught Ted Simmons' home run in the first game, but it was a couple rows in front of me.
I was 11 years old in 1982, and this was my first full season of watching baseball. I try to compare MLB of the past with the present to realize that modern-day ball is nowhere near as good as the old days. There was a different and harder mentality in the players back then. I think the influx of dollars has lessened the quality of play. Thank you,
I agree...after watching game 2 of the 82 World Series last night, I saw a harder edged game where players were really getting after it. Much better brand of ball to watch (and play).
@@jamesbarnett2483 Too bad the hope plate umpire didn't do HIS job as well as the players were doing theirs. (referring to the 'ball four' call) If he did, then my Brewers would have won that game.
Glenn Hendry: BOO!!! LOL sorry, I'm still disgruntled after 38 years. A healthy Rollie Fingers would have made a difference in that series. We recently had a great chance to finally go to a world series in 2018. But our ace reliever (Jeremy Jeffress) blew two games. Yes I'm being a cry baby, so what LOL!
It came down to team health. I’m sure the Cardinals had some injury issues, too, but the last two American League Cy Young Award winners, both on the Brewers, were virtually non factors because of injury. Rollie Fingers (the 1981 American League MVP and Cy Young Award winner) didn’t play in the series after saving 29 games for the Brewers during the regular season. He missed the entire 1983 season, too. And Pete Vukovich clearly wasn’t himself. He started two games in the Series, but gave up 7 earned runs in 14 innings, pitching while in great pain. It was discovered in the off-season that he’d torn his rotator cuff. He made three starts at the very end of the 1983 season, then missed all of 1984 with injury. Had the Brewers had Fingers, and a healthy Pete Vukovich, they win the Series.
1982 was the first and last American League pennant for the Milwaukee Brewers and because of expansion teams, division realignment, and expanded round of playoffs, the Milwaukee Brewers moved to from the American League Central Division to the National League Central Division after the 1997 MLB Season.
Very rarely does a single trade put you over the top. But the addition of Rollie, Simba, and Vuk took the Brewers from hard hitting up and comers to the team to beat in the A.L East.
Your right. But here we need to remember that not only did this trade help Milwaukee get to the WS, it also got St.Louis to the big show as well. Can anyone tell me if in the history of the game there has been another offseason trade between two teams that ended up in the WS?
@@darioseventi4091 For the Cardinals, the trade was indirectly helpful, in that the sequence allowed them to move an unhappy Gary Templeton yet replace him with an even better defender in Ozzie. However, they should have gotten more in exchange for the talent they gave up. Granted the Cards had no spots for Simba and Rollie, and they were giving up on project Vuk. The subtractions didn't hurt the Cards, but the additions made the Brewers A.L. Champs.
Paul Molitor in game one became the first player in World Series history to collect five hits in one game. And Robin Yount collected four hits. He would become the first player with a pair of four hit games in a World Series. Nine hits the two Hall of Famers had together in that first meeting. I’ll never forgive Sal Bando for calling Molitor a “DH only”, and his allowing Molitor to leave. Molly should have retired as a Brewer, and his 3,000th hit should have come in a Brewers uniform.
The final games for Baltimore in 1982 were at home facing the Brewers, where to Orioles needed to sweep the final series against them. My mom had bought me a ticket for that game months before because she knew it was Earl Weaver's last game before his retirement. The last game was lost by Baltimore and the Brewers kept going. The O's fans stayed, and said good bye to Weaver, when he finally came out to the field. It was an incredible game. Before the game started I saw Bob Uecker being talked to and Baltimore fans where yelling "GET OUT OF HERE UECKER ! He would turn at that direction to wave and smile. That was great !
Harvey's Wallbangers. Cardinals fan here, but it was a shame that Fingers was hurt and Vukovich wasn't in top form. ET's performance in Game 3 was one for the ages.
I always thought Gorman Thomas was way to big to be a center fielder. Of course a couple seasons later Robin Yount took his gold glove to center field.. Robin won an MVP at both positions.
Kerry Rucks: Yeah, in the 82 series, there were a few balls that were hit to centerfield that Robin likely would have gotten to but Gorman could not. Harvey should have pulled Gorman in the 7th game and put in Marshall Edwards as he did in game 5 of the ALCS. Edwards made the game winning play in the 9th inning. Gorman would not have made that play had he been in there at the time.
Brewers seemed destined in 1982, too bad they didn't win. Their pitching was adequate overall, and their offense was unreal. No steroids either. 4 HOF players.
Few thoughts: 1. The core of this Cardinal team should easily have 3 world series rings and be remembered historically- it is but not 3 WS worth. 2. Paul Molitor had the fastest hands through the strike zone I have ever seen- a truly under appreciated legend. 3. The Brewers manager out chewed Whitey- a feat possibly harder than the WS title.
Huge upset. Milwaukee had a powerful potent offense. St.Loius was last in the league in home runs. Plus pitching staffs wasnt an issue either. Milwaukee had Caldwell, Sutten and Vukavich
Whitey traded them Vukovich, Ted Simmons and Rollie Fingers for David Green. Despite that horrible blunder, the Cardinals won anyway. Whitey later said that if the NL had the designated hitter, Simmons would've died a Cardinal as Porter's backup and DH.
Hard to argue that one...in '87 STL was without Pendleton and Clark and I really think they would have made a difference in that one. So it goes, right? I would rather be there and not win than not be there at all.
Boy, was Dick Enberg a pro's pro, obviously a HOFer. His narration is filled with energy, ups and downs depending on the highlight moment, a sense of drama. Compare this WS highlight reel with others narrated by the likes of Curt Gowdy, especially, even Vin Scully. Gowdy was just so clinical, like "mail me the paycheck." Maybe it's that this reel piped-in stadium music/noise plus in-tight dialogues after close plays, etc.
LOVE the Cardinals. That was the year I started following them. I do believe 67 homers as a team in the regular season were the fewest ever by an eventual World Series champion if I am correct.
Hell, I wish I knew. I've heard it in a movie called "Pumpkin," in Dave Volsky's great collection of NFL Films music (I posted it on Facebook once, then never saw it again), AND I have it on a dance compilation CD, but NOWHERE have I ever been able to find the title! It drives me nuts!
I can't remember two teams with as mediocre pitching staffs meeting in the WS. There were fine individual performers, but collectively, both were probably league average compared to other clubs that year.
STL had two 15 game winners (Andujar, Forsch) and the Rolaids Reliever of the year (Sutter). They also had 3 guys who won 9 games. Not too bad. You're right, if you are saying the sum was greater than the parts. True "team" baseball.
@@jamesbarnett2483 STL had a weak mid-back rotation. Same with the Brewers. In fact, several Brewer players have commented that what really clinched it for them that year was the acquisition of Don Sutton.
If we have a healthy Fingers, we win. Also, if the 'ball four' call goes the correct way in game 2, we win. Am I being a cry baby? Yeah, so what!!! I'm still pissed after 38 years. My depression over the result of that series is like COVID-19, it won't go away!! Willie McGee really beat us up badly in game 3 of the series. Then 16 years later in 1998 after the Brewers joined the national league, McGee was back with the Cardinals, and was beating up on us again during a season game at county stadium. The Brewer fans were booing every time McGee stepped up to the plate. And the announcers said "These Brewer fans have LONG memories!!"
Thank you for that info dude. Good song, good party, good food, good drinks and good baseball. That's what America's all about right there, not this stupid bullshit going on right now.
Would have made a lot more sense geographically to put Atlanta and Cincinnati in the East and Chicago and St. Louis in the West. But they didn't ask me.
Tell Keith Hernandez he will be a Met the next year! Read he cried himself to sleep the day he was traded. Went from world champs to the laughing stock of baseball. How things would change in 4 years!
Keith was my favorite Cardinal when I was a kid in the 70's. I was VERY upset when I heard he was traded. Wish he could have stayed, but we did ok with Jack "The Ripper" Clark, too.
The most underrated WS ever.
I always love the background music in these retro world series videos

I can't believe that Milwaukee team didn't win more pennants and titles. Lots of talent on that team!
Yount, Molitor, Cooper, Ogilvie, Gantner, Thomas, Caldwell, the list goes on and on and on.
Daniel Lobsinger You're right about that!!!
They could definitely hit, but they didn;t have enough pitching for the long haul. If Fingers was healthy, they probably would have won the 82 series
It was the sloppy fielding too that hurt the Brewers. The Cardinals were also a fundamentally sound team and it showed that year.
you think that's bad then you should know that they've only gone to the playoffs 4 times in 81,82,08,and 2011
My heart was beating just as hard watching this today as it was watching it live in 82. I love my Cards! ⚾🏟️🇺🇸

When he was playing for the Mets Keith Hernandez got a clutch hit in Game 7 of the 1986 World Series.

Kinda jealous of the guy with the brewers logo on his car… don’t like the brewers but that’s a sick job
Rollie Fingers would have made the difference
YES!!!!
Sad day for herzog family!
If we have a healthy Fingers, we win. Also, if the 'ball four' call goes the correct way in game 2, we win. Am I being a cry baby? Yeah, so what!!! I'm still pissed after 38 years. My depression over the result of that series is like COVID-19, it won't go away!! Willie McGee really beat us up badly in game 3 of the series. Then 16 years later in 1998 after the Brewers joined the national league, McGee was back with the Cardinals, and was beating up on us again during a season game at county stadium. The Brewer fans were booing every time McGee stepped up to the plate. And the announcers said "These Brewer fans have LONG memories!!"
go cards
Anybody know the song that begins at the 9:41 mark? It's catchy.
"We are having a Party"... I don't know the name of the band ...or might it be Al Wilson?
Thank you for that info dude. Good song, good party, good food, good drinks and good baseball. That's what America's all about right there, not this stupid bullshit going on right now.
Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes.
rod stewart did that song I believe. not sure if his was the original version.
At 33:50, Dick Enberg should've said "And now they can smell the coffee brewing!" not "smell the roses" Go Cards!
OK so the NL "East" champion St Louis and NL "West" champion Atlanta???
wpreston86 I was thinking the same thing, to be honest!!!
wpreston86 Man, you sound fuckin' stupid as hell with that statement of yours. 😠
@@dariowiter3078 it was a fair question. MLB was not very logical about the division alignment.
Would have made a lot more sense geographically to put Atlanta and Cincinnati in the East and Chicago and St. Louis in the West. But they didn't ask me.
This was a tough series, a life long cards fan who drinks Miller Beer and doesn't like Budweiser. Oh well
Hey, if the Yankees aren't playing, then I don't need it!
82 Angels were loaded
Tell Keith Hernandez he will be a Met the next year! Read he cried himself to sleep the day he was traded. Went from world champs to the laughing stock of baseball. How things would change in 4 years!
Keith was my favorite Cardinal when I was a kid in the 70's. I was VERY upset when I heard he was traded. Wish he could have stayed, but we did ok with Jack "The Ripper" Clark, too.
If Fingers was healthy they would have won the series
