9:25 AL umpires still using the balloon protector in 1982: Bill Haller, Bill Kunkel, Marty Springstead, Terry Cooney, Russ Goetz, George Maloney, Jerry Neudecker. Lou DiMuro, another holdout, died June 7, 1982 when he was struck by a vehicle after a White Sox-Rangers game in Arlington. 1982 AL umpires who began with the balloon but switched before 1982: Don Denkinger (first to switch in 1975), Rich Garcia, Ted Hendry, Larry McCoy, Jim Evans, Jim McKean, Dave Phillips, Larry Barnett, Joe Brinkman, Vic Voltaggio, Dale Ford 1982 AL umpires who never used the balloon: Al Clark, Durwood Merrill, Steve Palermo, Derryl Cousins, John Shulock, Dan Morrison, Mark Johnson, Tim Welke, Larry Young, Drew Coble, Tim McClelland, Rocky Roe Haller retired after the 1982 World Series, Cooney and Springstead switched to the inside protector in 1983, Goetz and Maloney retired after 1983, and Kunkel was forced out in early 1984 by the cancer which had returned and eventually claimed his life in May 1985. Neudecker was the last regular umpire to wear the balloon, retiring after the 1985 season. Former AL umpire Bill Deegan returned to work home plate in all three games of the 1984 ALCS using the balloon while the regular umpires were on strike. He also wore it as a replacement in 1991 and '95. Fortunately, Bill Haller is still alive and well at 84.
I love how quickly Bruce Sutter worked. He got the ball and threw it. I wish I would see the likes of him closing games on my Hi-Def widescreen TV, today, instead of the long parade of Generic Joe's.. Kent Tekulve, where have you gone ??
Ted Simmons, Robin Yount, Ben Oglivie, Gorman Thomas, Paul Monitor, Cecel Cooper and Jim Ganter. How did this team lose to the Cards, especially after beating them 10-0. Huge upset. George Hendrix lead the Cards with only 19 home runs.
Ken oberkfell was a good quality third baseman good defensive and had a nice stick no Mike Schmidt make no mistake about but a very respectable Fielder indeed!!
I was 13 for this World Series, after Milwaukee blew out the Cardinals in game 1 thought they would win easy, I was wrong. It seemed like back in those days the game 1 winner meant nothing, while now it seems like they win the majority. 🤷🏻♂️
I remember this WS afyer pitcher jim cauldwell and the brew crew took game one tje red birds barley wow this one this was played on a wedn night i was in jr high then
This was one of the best world series with the exception of St. Louis winning it because Milwaukee's offence was way more powerful and exciting. St. Louis was last in the league in home runs and the Brewers had a potent offense. Huge upset to me as a kid that the Cards won. I was thinking the Angels, the Orioles, the Brewers, the Dodgers and the Braves were gonna win it. Even Kansas City would have beaten the Cards like they did to them in 85, a much more powerful Cards team.
Around 8:52 they talk about the stadium's PA announcer accidentally being heard inside the headsets of Joe & Tony. That PA guy is none other than Joel Meyers. Who would be hired by NBC Sports 7 years later. This gliche mayve gotten him hired by the peacock and could've been a major boost for his career.
Yea, I heard that too. This was a period that NBC Sports would have technical issues between it's truck and it's booth during big games. Later in January in their Super Bowl 17 coverage, there was a period during the first half that Enberg & Olson would hear echoing in their headsets and could barely hear the truck. This incident would later get talked about by Dick Enberg and others. The truck had to just put a replay on after the play without giving warning, and Enberg & Olson would have to talk in short sentences due to the aforementioned echoing. I guess Merlin Olson was so mad by it that he figuratively wanted to go down and push the truck over. He was so big, figuratively only meant that he was nice enough not to, he would've been pshycically able to do it. lol Saw him doing a CBS game in Milwaukee one time.
@@ryanstrnad8442 First candid & competent former player I recall in the booth. Dick & Merlin perhaps the best. I know many will say otherwise, but I enjoyed his call of NFL games.
@@bernieudo4399 Dick Enberg was the top person to put for NFL games and Marv Albert was a natural top NBA guy when NBC acquired the NBA rights in '90. Enberg was a good college basketball announcer. Possibly the best performance I've ever seen Dick Enberg make though (and they're lots of them) was in the 1988 Summer Olympic Basketball Semi-Final Game between USA & Soviet Union. He carried the natural drama and intensity of such a game. Their first matchup since the '72 controversy. Merlin Olson lost his fastball IMO late in the 80's. But replacing him with Bill Walsh turned out not to be the answer (was no where as successful as Toni Romo). Bob Trumpy I thought was surprisingly good in the top chair. So was that three man booth of Enberg, Paul McGuire & then broadcast newcomer Phil Simms towards the end of that contract.
In 1982 i was so disappointed to see the Cardinals end up winning the world series. Weakest power team. George Hendrick lead the team with 19 home runs. They were lucky the Dodgers didn't win their division because the Cardinals couldn't beat the Dodgers then. The Angels should have taken it with what they had with Reggie Jackson leading the way. Milwaukee should have killed this team.
Baseball was so great in those now old days. The game was played professionally and the announcers kept it simple without overtalking.
When hot-dogging was unacceptable...now it's almost the norm
Wow. Imagine a closer entering the game in the 7th and finishing the game

wow i never knew people knew history on the umpires
You must be a current/former umpire to know or even want to know so much about umpires.
They used to play the old Budweiser theme at every game. Here comes the King...
Dane Iorg was great in the series. 9 for 17 .529, 4 2B, 3B

Good gravy, lady! Your grammar skills are horrendous! 😡
im here to see Bill Haller
It's a damn crying shame that of all those World Series boxed sets that came out years ago we never got a 1982 World Series DVD boxed set!
I was 13 for this World Series, after Milwaukee blew out the Cardinals in game 1 thought they would win easy, I was wrong. It seemed like back in those days the game 1 winner meant nothing, while now it seems like they win the majority. 🤷🏻♂️
Agreed, just ask the 1986 RedSox. They won the first two games and still lost the series and I believe the 1985 cards were up 2-0 and they lost the WS
It was still Milwaukee's series to lose after winning 3 with 2 remaining
I remember this WS afyer pitcher jim cauldwell and the brew crew took game one tje red birds barley wow this one this was played on a wedn night i was in jr high then

Was there different pitching rules for coming set in 1982? Sutter never comes set when runners are on base.
🍺⚾️
So i ha e been doing some research before chewing tobacco was banned what was MLB most used brand and flavor
1:37:42 TD/chyron op. OOOOPS!
Holy $h!ttt atari
I have not driven a ford lately and and after 35 years I still wouldn't.
Only owned one In my life. Wasn't too happy either.
Cooper was a disappointment in the series considering how good he was.
Also in 75 series with Red sox.
well he started in 1970.12 years is a long time playing

There was also a period at the beginning of the game where you could hear Jack Buck's broadcast for KMOX.

Especially after game one. The Milwaukee Brewers were the boxing version of George Foreman with that one punch knockout power.
Speed don’t slump St. Louis
'80, '81, & '82 seemed like a shift in MLB to NL style play. Then thought the Cards were at the start of a great run.
Milwaukee was lucky to win 3 games with weak ass pitching.
It’s not a home run derby dude
What a fluke Darrel Porter being the M.V.P. with a weak ass batting average.
Pretty wife.
u should get his book
He was clutch, though. That 2-run shot to left field saved them this game.
Joe and Tony could practically teach you the whole game in 9 innings
Keith Hernandez! I despise him!
