Dennis Martinez will innagurate the new international stadium in Nicaragua next year in 2017. It'll be named after him, one of the greatest pitchers of all times.
What a wonderful game to watch again. Dave's classic finish to the game: "In the air...centre field...El Presidente, el Perfecto" is pure magic. On a more personal note, they mentioned a couple of times during the broadcast that the Toronto Blue Jays were playing the Kansas City Royals at the same time. I was at that game at the Skydome in Toronto (now the Rogers Centre). When it was announced to the crowd that Martinez had pitched a perfect game and they showed the final out on the stadium Jumbotron, the entire crowd stood as one and offered Dennis a long and heartfelt standing ovation, just as the fans at Dodger Stadium who watched it in person did. No doubt the same thing happened that day at every other ballpark. Some wonderful memories and as a former Montrealer I hope my beloved Expos return to the city one day. GO EXPOS GO/VIVE LES EXPOS DE MONTREAL!!
This is absolutely fantastic! El Presidente in top form, reaches immortality. The topper for me is the grace of the LA fans who roar for Martinez and give him a tremendous ovation at the dénouement. PURE CLASS.
Perfect game pitching + he hit .333 and made 3 great defensive plays. The way he made it to 1st base on the 1st possible hit when Larry got a hot ball to handle, ...
My dad and I went to this game, sat on the field level, one of the greatest bonding experiences we ever had. By the 8th inning, even we Dodger fans were rooting for Martinez to take it all the way. Pop and I talked about this game until he checked out in 2003.
Dodgers fans showing so much class... standing and rooting for every strike in the 9th inning.... it’s unbelievable to see. So Much respect to Dodgers fans !!!! Even in lean years, our Expos still gave us lots of great memories! Congrats El Presidenté !!!
that happens when a pitcher is pitching a perfect game in the opponents stadium. Fans know how rare perfect games are and to be able to say you were there when a perfect game was pitched. I mean look at the 1:52:50 mark. you see pitchers in the dodger bullpen up against the fence because they want to see the last out
Watched this game when it was played in '91 . One of the most exciting games of my life. Nothing beats a perfect game when you aren't expecting it. RIP Expos :(
Je me souvien de ce match là. Quand j'étais petit, mon père ma dit,(Assied toi. Nous somment en trin d'assister à une page d'histoire.) J'avais environ 10 ou 11 ans... Mémorable!
Yes, I like how the announcer went through his standard routine as he always did. "Scoreboard totals are correct," he would say, or "Totals on the ballgame" as it seems he said here, then read the runs/hits/errors/left-on-base for each team, and then announce the winning and losing pitchers and their updated records. Here, he honored the moment by saying, "The winning pitcher, with a perfect game, Dennis Martinez" drawing loud cheers from the fans, and pausing for it as well.
They started cheering for Expos in the 9th... they didn't care about winning, they wanted to see a perfect game... true baseball fans. I'll always respect and love the Dodgers for that.
I have always been a Twins fan first & foremost, but the Expos were my favorite NL team. 1991 not only featured this fantastic game, but the Twins were champs that year too. The Expos sure got screwed by the 1994 strike - that team was destined for greatness. When MLB tried to contract our two teams during the 2002 season, it only made me a bigger fan of them. With Dave Martinez the likely new Rays manager, it's high time they move the Rays to Montreal and bring back these awesome blue uniforms.
Interesting note about this historic Expos game...Because it was camera day, there was NO batting practice for either team! Perhaps this helped El Presidente? Great voices of Dave Van Horne and Ken Singleton help to add to the excitement. Montreal Expos 1969-2004 - BRING BACK THE EXPOS TO MONTREAL
@@sbblakey The Dodgers would allow fans on the field in designated areas to take pictures of the players before the game. Did it once a year on a Sunday. Don't think they do it anymore.
I was at this game. My gf's cousin wanted to go to get a pic with Eddie Murray, which she did. Yeah, 6 innings of no-hit ball on both sides .. Hot day... many Dodger fans leave after the 7th inning. This day was no different ...those who stayed, of course got a perfecto ... certainly we were not leaving until there was no longer a no-no ... and of course got the Perfecto .. Caught up to El Presidente in his last series in the bigs and got his auto on a ball ...my memories are complete with this being online ...
El Presidente y el Rey Félix Hernández, dos latinos en la inmortalidad (sin olvidar el robado a Galarraga). Ojalá en el futuro otros latinos más logren algo tan difícil como esto. Saludos a toda Nicaragua
Perhaps the greatest game I ever attended. I still have my ticket stub, the front page of the LA Times the following day and all items from that great game. Also a great bit of trivia, Ron Hassey caught 2 perfect games and Alfredo Griffin played in 3 of them.
My dad n I went to visit my grandmother in LA who was sick, & because of that she gave us her tickets to cheer on 'El Presidente', her favourite pitcher. We went & saw history. The LA fans? Absolutely polite & cheerful that two Canadians were there in their section, & how knowledgeable dad was about Dodger history, growing up a Brooklyn Fan in Toronto Ontario Canada. That final out I cried, & so did my father. The fans around us and throughout the stadium gave Martinez an amazing standing ovation, proving they're true fans of the game. Dad passed away a couple years ago, & one of the things he left me was a framed picture of us at Dodger Stadium wearing our Expos caps holding our ticket stubs, which were inside the frame as well. Ty so much for posting this!!
Que juego más bello. Muchas gracias por subirlo a los señores de MLB Classics. Es en realidad un verdadero triunfo para nosotros los nicaraguenses es tener la copia de este juego perfecto de nuestro querido Denis Martinez. Viva Nicaragua!
@@assmane999They are all on drugs. Ball is juiced. Parks are smaller. Games take forever. Now they add a clock? LOL The whole thing is pathetic. Stopped watching a long time ago.
yo estuve en ese juego perfecto de denis fui con mi hermano y un amigo fue innolvidable q emocion ese momento fue historico para toda nicaragua y gracias a dios denis hacido siempre un gran campeon y sobre todo muy humilde y ha ganado todo el corazon del beisball de grandes ligas y por eso le llaman el presidente viva Nicaragua con Denis Martinez
Almost as great as the perfection itself were the LA fans cheering him on. It's not just about winning and losing, you have to get behind any player when they're about to make baseball history. Pure class from those fans!
I remember watching this game like it was just yesterday. The Expos were my favourite team of all time. I love MLB, but for me there has always been a part of it missing and that's the Expos. Dave was one of the best announcers of all-time. Kenny is in a class of his own. I'm not going to hold my breath but the best MLB could do is have Montreal build a re tractable roof stadium and get the Rays there as the Expos. Just dreaming I guess.
As a born and raised Montrealer and a lifelong diehard Expos fan, this was one of the best days of my youth. One of the coolest facts about this game is that Ron Hassey is the only catcher in MLB history to have caught 2 perfect games.
As a Canadian and die hard expos fan, who now has to root for the Jays, it’s not the same...there was something so different and unique about the Expos that will never be duplicated....I can sit on a Sunday afternoon and watch these old games easier than I can watch current baseball.
I watched this *and* Mark Gardner's 9 innings of no-hit ball two days earlier live (because he lost in extra innings, it wasn't technically a no-hitter). This was an amazing series to have witnessed. Such great pitching!
I remember that too. Expos couldn't score a run in that one. Went to extra innings and I think the no-hitter was broken (and the game lost) in the 11th.
Maddux like fastball movement. Killer curve. Absolute control. Quiet domination. Wasn't really familiar with Martinez but I'll be looking up some highlights.
i am very proud to be Nicaraguan ,because Dennis Martinez was the first Latin American pitcher to throw a perfect game ,and one of the greatest pitcher in the major league beisbol . God bless Nicaragua!.
Remember working on sunday afternoon and then seeing the last inning after coming home. The color guy is Ken Singleton who is now one of the voices of the New York Yankees. Hated the Dodgers back then and this perfect game was sweet.
I was a huge Expos fan. I remember turning on the TV around the third inning. Very fortunate to have witnessed this historic game live. El Presidente, El Perfecto!
Dennis Martinez wasn't only the first latino pitcher to ever pitch a perfect game in the Majors (MLB), but also the first foreign born (born outside the U.S.A. soil) to ever throw this kind of perfect gem of a game (this includes the Japanese, Cubans, Dominicans, Venezuelans, Koreans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, etc...)!...
This perfect baseball game was well setting at the los Angeles Dodger Stadium, and the fans were lucky to watch a perfect baseball game threw by Denis Martinez. It is amazing how Denis Martinez at age 35 showed his athletic body at taking care to the bunt and fielded with accuracy throwing at fist base to outing the batter. Denis Martinez since 1972 showed professionalism for the Baseball.
I was there! Orange seats near the left field foul pole. Mike Morgan was perfect for the first five innings as well, and I remember asking if there has ever been a "Double perfect game."
I was there also 13 years old my mom would drop me off on Sunday games and stay all day there in the stadium STARTED rooting for him at the end of the game
I love that moment around 48:00, when Larry Walker blocked the ball and Martinez made the play at first. Sixteen other times the runner was out at first. Five times the ball was caught in the air and five batters were struck out.
In Dec. 1972, Nicaragua had the World Baseball Championship in Managua Capital, Denis Martinez was the youngest pitcher of Nicaragua Pitchers team but his curves was superexcellent that is why the scout of the Orioles signed him, so young. In that occasion Nicaragua defeated Cuba and USA. Nicaragua team was so excellent that Julio Juarez, Pitcher for Nicaragua defeated Cuba, that was great because politic is always there: Somoza vs Fidel Castro great fans of Baseball. but Managua after this Int'l baseball event was flatted by an 1972 Earthquake. It is so sweet for the Nic. baseball to have the perfect pitcher Denis Martinez.
This came during an awful post-All Star Break stretch for the Dodgers that year where they played below .500 ball for over a month and allowed the "worst to first" Braves to catch up to them from about 10 games behind. Mostly due to the fact that they couldn't hit worth a damn.
I was there! Called the Expos and asked if Dennis Martinez would sign my ticket stubs. They said yes so I mailed them in. Never saw them again. Was sitting in bleachers as Dodger fans started to leave early. I decided to be obnoxious and stood up and yelled. It's a perfect game! People sat down, either out of interest or not wanting to have me point them out.
Dennis Martinez will innagurate the new international stadium in Nicaragua next year in 2017. It'll be named after him, one of the greatest pitchers of all times.
Martinez was awesome and the Expos ace for a long time.
Yes he was. I'll be there for the inauguration or for the first game. I'll be awesome.
What a wonderful game to watch again. Dave's classic finish to the game: "In the air...centre field...El Presidente, el Perfecto" is pure magic. On a more personal note, they mentioned a couple of times during the broadcast that the Toronto Blue Jays were playing the Kansas City Royals at the same time.

GO EXPOS GO/VIVE LES EXPOS DE MONTREAL!!
What else do you remember about that Blue Jays game on 7/28/1991? Without looking up the box score! Tell us as much as you can remember.
I hope so. The Montreal Expos still have lots of fans here in Nicaragua, naturally. Best regards!!! 🙋♂️⚾️
Cool story
This is absolutely fantastic!
El Presidente in top form, reaches immortality.

My guess it’s because he looks like a Nicaraguan despot.

I was there also, and I am positive this game was played on a Sunday.
Great story. It's the magic of baseball, you both witnessed something remarkable. A beautiful moment you two shared.

One of the greatest calls in baseball history.

Give credit to LA fans. A blow out is one thing, but they cheered him on in a close game.
Great crowd
As a long time Expos fan I would like to say thanks for this upload. What a rare treat!

seems like yesterday...Doesn't it !!!! I could watch this over and over and over again...
GRACIAS POR SUBIR ESTE MARAVILLOSO JUEGO...........!!!!!
3-2 curve ball in the 8th, wow. Pretty gutsy pitch choice with a perfect game going.

It's cool to see the LA fans being so appreciative of the accomplishment, even as their team got creamed.
Notice one of the ball boys along the foul line didn't give the ball to a fan (ninth inning, two away)....he knows it will be worth something.
Dennis Martínez es un orgullo nicaragüense y latinoamericano.
I didn't remember the Dodgers line-up. One of the first games I watch as a kid and I didn't know what was happening.
It's so great to be able to re-live these great games

Great Expos moment, Dennis Martinez perfect game, what a classy ovation from the Dodgers fans.
wonderful fans of los angeles !! merci dennis , la plus que parfaite !! bravo
I was their. My dad and I still talk about it to this day.
Para la historia, el excelente lanzador nica, Denis Martínez, con juego perfecto. Buenísimo.
Damn I wish we got the Dodgers feed. It would be nice to hear Vin Scully call this.
This should be dated 7/28/91 I was there with my dad
