I guess the “good” news for Yankee fans is that, after game 5, top of the 5th, this memory is no longer the most painful one from this World Series.
I thought about this when he said that’s the worst way he’s seen his team lose 😂 little did he know 😅
Dodgers were awesome❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes, I was there with my son and grandson. A great memory for the three of us to share forever.
Game 1 is what makes baseball a damn beautiful game!!! As a 58 yr. old watching the Dodger/Yankee World Serieses in the 70s, this World Series is classic baseball and I, for one, am totally in!!!
At first, I totally misunderstood your comment. I thought you were 58 when watching a 70s series so I did the math, and I was like, holy shizz, this guy is like a 110 but still alive and loving baseball!! Da-yum,... you go, friend!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@ttman1233 🤣🤣🤣🤣 careful... Math hurts at my age!!!! You whipper-snapper!!!
To witness a historic game is priceless. Win or lose, the memory will stay forever.
Can we talk about how perfect the call was by Joe Davis?
I thought he threw a salute to Vin.
@@turtle19dad he did
Perfection !
The whole 360 at bat as he waits for the pitcher and the way the blimp angle(i wanna guess) shows the whole top view of dodger stadium
I thought it was an awful call. You cannot compare Freeman's HR to Gibson's. Let Freeman's home run stand on it's own, it was a great moment, but it had very little in common with Gibson's home run and not nearly as dramatic. You cannot compare the two. You had to have been there for both to understand.
I was in the hospital in 1980 and my grandfather (a Yankee fan) said if they ever meet in the WS again that he'd take me. Well, the next year it happened! Those 3 games in L.A. were awesome. I got to see Fernando pitch and we won!
As a die hard LA fan I’ve been waiting for this segment all weekend 😂🎉… love you RE consulting!
Loved Davis emulating Scully with "She iiiiisss gone!"
Agreed. Love it!!
That he had the presence of mind to say it. He’s really a fan of the sport. It makes me teary-eyed! 🥹
The Cortez call is getting critiqued , but the Doyers used a reliever coming back from injury in the same way. He punched out a few Yankees. Hit & miss. I've watched Freddie's grand slam at least 40 times, different angles, different announcers etc. Legendary.
But he had a clean inning to work with not with runners in scoring position
There's a difference between a reliever being used as a reliever back from injury and a starter coming back from injury being used in an unfamiliar reliever role. Starters have a different mentality than a relief pitcher.
Yeah true. People will come up with all these differentiations. But at the end of the day we used someone coming off of injury to go up against good hitters.
@@thoughtfulbobcat1872 The last time the Dodgers won a World Series, the pitcher on the mound in the ninth inning of the final game was Julio Urias, a starter, being used as a reliever for that post-season.
I watched/read the post-game coverage of that game on numerous sports outlets and almost every analyst/writer is in agreement that it was a very poor decision.
I have to agree that by the time Ice Cube dropped the mic at home plate before the start of Game 2, the vibe was in the Dodgers' favor.
I know how your son feels, watching Reggie hit 3 homers was hard to recovery from as an 8 year old Dodger fan.
If it makes you feel any better I was 12 in 78 when Bucky "Fucking" Dent hit that homer off Mike Torrez. Still hurts
to this day.
+1
I was 13 in 1977 and 14 in 1978, and I agree 100% with you. We owe the Yankees so many World Series defeats, and one more win will just be another that we are paying them back for. It's going to feel so good! The Yankees won most of those World Series in the reserve clause era where they could hoard all the really good players because they could pay them more. Now, they can't always do that . Remind a Yankee fan of this when they come crying to you about losing the Series.
I was 3 so I fortunately don’t remember. My first Dodger memory was 1981, so I’m 2-0 vs the Yanks.
Dude, I was 8 too! I still remember the pain and the following year, my little mind thought, no way are they gonna lose to the Yanks again! So to this day, I hate the Yankees and revel in the pain I see in the fans eyes.
1:32 “Playoff baseball, more than anything else, will always find the weaknesses of your team.” Well said. Other commentators have pointed out (especially after the infamous 5th game 5th inning) that the Yankees’ weaknesses in the fundamentals could be covered up by raw talent in the regular season only because they played against a lot of lesser teams.
He said toughest Yankees loss he’s seen.
Yankees game 5 said, “HOLD MY BEER”
I was there too Rich! Magical Night! Go Dodgers!!!💙
These emotions are why we love Sports...the narrative of pure competition is intoxicating.
Yeah and my first WS memory as a kid was the Yankees beating my Mets in the subway series. So I hope the dodgers sweep in 4
I get your pain and I am sorry you had to experience that. I have been there too. But I fortunately had the reverse effect with my teenager as we watched the unforgettable Game 5 comeback win by the Dodgers to win the World Series in Yankee Stadium, which we'll both never forget. Nothing could top that iconic night we shared as two generations of Dodgers fans.
Nothing is more disgusting than seeing people mock an injured player.
I hope Yankees fans in other cities have a different mindset from the fans in NYC.
Dude, not every fan in NYC was cheering to see Shohei injured
I knew it was over for NY when Cube went out, dude is a living legend.
He was bagging on the Yankees and they were still dancing. He hypnotized them!
Somehow Ice Cube cemented the victory. Homefield in the World Series is gonna huge going forward.....just for the opening alone. I remember Steve Perry help San Fran...it's no little thing.
My earliest WS memory was Yankee pitcher Don Larsen’s perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Watched it on our family’s 23” black and white TV with the biggest sports fan in our family, my mom. I was only eight years old but I still remember Yogi Berra wrapping his arms and legs around Larsen after the last out. My mom had to explain to me what a “perfect game” was and why it was such a big deal.
Yogi jumping into his arms is what EVERY catcher should do after winning the WS!
Respect to Eisen for being a genuine fan of baseball
As a Canadian, I hate that we get stuck with the International broadcast instead of the Fox broadcast because I would much rather listen to Joe Davis on the call and Joe Buck before him.
Try to stream it from a free site 😉 and they’ll have the American version for sure
Jets and Yankees. Tough weekend for Rich 😆😆
My Dad took me to the WS in the 70s. Huge Dodger fans. I got to see Reggie hit 3 HRs. I'm 8. Sucked but still and epic memory with my dad. Your child will remember you and him together. That's what matters
So awesome watching the Dodgers celebrate a world title on the yankers home field!
France was showing off when they gifted us the Freddie "Freedom" Freeman Statue of Liberty in NY.
The result was surely tough for all Yank fans - BUT, the reality that you and your son witnessed a moment in World Series history that will be iconic for as long as baseball is remembered. That was my thought - Oh! … those lucky folks who were there to see and feel such a moment -
ISN'T COOPER AN LA NATIVE?!?
I am, and as one sports fiend to another, it seems like Cooper missed out on likely THE BIGGEST IN PERSON, HISTORICAL MOMENT FOR HIS HOMETOWN CLUB.
Yes. I get you are from Staten Island. But while he supports your choice to root for your hometown team, he lost out.
Anyway, it was epic.
In 1988 I had the privilege of being at all the NLCS games in LA and all the WS games too. (I knew a few people then! Lol)
AND SAW GIBSON IN RL FROM FRONT OF THE RT FIELD BLUE SECTION. Watched the steal, saw the swing and then watched Canseco stop in his tracks, looking up, and we watched the ball land in the pavillon together!
MY BLUE HEAVEN.
So funny man I have been waiting for Rich’s reaction to game 1 but I didn’t know he was a Yankees fan 😂 no wonder it took a few days to come out
That grandslam was awesome!!
At the end of a forgotten and underrated Charles Bronson movie, 'Hard Times'....there's a quote from Speed, the gambler/bookie: ...the next best thing to playing and winning, is playing and losing. You only get a chance at a gut punch like that, to give it, or take it, if you're in the World Series man. As a Dodger fan, much respect to NY.
Spent the whole weekend watching that highlights of Freddie"s grand slam, incredible sports theatre...But it means nothing if they dont win it all, LFG Dodgers!
One more to go!!!!
The Dodgers have a better team than the Yankees do on paper, and on the field and they are proving it in this series.
The Dodgers scouting report on the Yankees was to let them beat themselves, and they did…
Dodgers are far better than the Yankees! The pitching has been lights out! Go Dodgers!
ok, so where is A-A-Ron Rich?
😂😂😂😂
Yankees still looking for him too.....
@@tylerflemming7059 LOL
So this weekend was a triple kick to the collective Eisen family nards. 🎉🎉
Nards… now there is a word I haven’t heard in a while!
I feel bad for the Yankees truly. As much as I wanna see Shohei and Japan celebrate, I would like to see some life from the Yankees and give us another game like that game 1 banger.
It was glorious. Not an LA fan at all, but it was glorious. NY is so nostalgic, living off the past.....these days with the way teams develop, you cannot get anything helpful from your past....means nothing.
YANKEES LOSE!
YANKEES LOSE!
YANKEES LOSE!
Thuuuuuuh-uuuuh-uuuuh-uh Yankees lose!
@@davidhornbeck1470I like how he calls the Yankee games… except for that 👆🏼!
John Sterling “And that’s the Yankees playing like they’re drunk”. 🤣🤣😂😂
Fans got their money’s worth, even though it was thousands of dollars.
I'm glad "my" Dodgers could be of service. My first game 1966, diehard fan since '71. And my LA born mom loved the Dodgers since the Brooklyn days. I was born in LA 2.
Baseball is the definition of "ball finds you" the game comes at you fast and humbles you even faster
How about this. I was 8 years old when the Dodgers played their 1st game in L.A. at the Coliseum. We win the WS in '59, sweep the Yankees in '63, beat the Twins in '65!! As a 15-year old young teenager with 3 WS titles to enjoy, I became forever hooked with my hometown Dodgers and baseball in general.
Was waiting for Rich’s take on the World Series! lol
Freeman#5 Gibson#23..2+3=5….coincidence…🤔 GO DODGERS!!!
Rich did his kid wrong!
His kid was born in L.A and raised in Los Angeles, they they forced their teams on him at an early age instead of letting him enjoy the teams from the city where he lives and getting to celebrate with all his friends!
Freddie just replaced Kirk as the most memorable HR in the post season in Dodgers history.
I was there. Best game of my life. Will never be topped.
Just wait until Game 5! Are you in for a treat…
@ wasn’t there sadly. But my father in law took me to game 1 and was also at game 5. Crazy
Joe Davis is a fantastic broadcaster, I guess it just irks me that he is the Dodgers play by play guy. I'm sure Dodgers fans would feel the same if it was Michael Kay on the call
I'm pretty sure that Davis is better than Kay at broadcasting without partiality.
My favorite call is by a Spanish station with the announcer saying “grand slam salami”.
Sounds like Trump talking about Albert Palmer!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Where can I hear it ?
Gibson and Freeman walk off home run, both were hurt effected running, batted left,, home run right field, happened same time at Dodger stadium, 8:53 8:59 , also first game of world series.
This was the greatest game I've ever seen!
that was pretty hilarious - that bit about cube
Torres missed the ball, but Ohtani’s advance to third was on Rizzo, who should have followed the play.
Gday from Melbourne,Oz.
My first WS watched live on TV was the 1981 series.
I was glued to that TV and became a Dodgers fan from the first game.❤
I enjoyed the game at home with my son. We ran around the house celebrating like we hit the grand slam! The BEST MEMORIES, EVER!! Going to the game is overrated and overpriced.
Wow he acted like Freddie freeman isn’t an absolute beast. Like oh you had to get by Freddie after getting the real stars out ? 🙄
1:30 Rich Eisen said became true and will forever haunt the Yankees in that game 5.
was there too, still get chills, brrrrrr
Not baseball fans.... huh
Didn't know you can't leave the field of play with the ball. TF
Lol OK 😂
Lifelong Oakland A’s fan; My first World Series game was Game 4 in 1990. Still stings.
One can only hope that the Freeman HR also featured a pair of brake lights flashing at the moment the ball left the park.
why brake lights?
I watched the Gibson HR hours before the game.
Gibsonian is now a word in the dictionary. Freeman's hr can only truly be described in that fashion.
Try being an A's fan in "88. Welcome to my painful Dodger world.
Dodger 🧢 Blue in 4 games 🧹....
Enjoy your day...
Season ending Greetings from Northern NewEngland.
👋😅👌
He was at the game today for sure, that home run in the first 10 minutes must’ve SSSSTTUUUNNNGGGG
5:49 spoken like a true sportsman. Much respect.
LET’S GO DODGERS!
Just wait until game 5 Rich 😂
To pour some salt on that wound, it looks like the Dodgers are serious about signing Soto this offseason too.
Yankees should have offered him a deal after they aquired him because there is definitely gonna be a few teams with the money that can grab him.
@henrywallacesghost5883 I'm not sure he would've taken it. He wants to hit the Market.
But if the Yankees lose this World Series then have Soto go to the Dodgers right after that... That's a special kind of punch in the nards that you just don't see too often.
I mean, damn.
NO on Soto the hotdog
No. We don't want him.
Rich is about to be upset again, Freddie Freeman is now part time owner of the Yankees.
I love his shirt.
Joe Davis also announces on occasion for Dodgers home games
havn't watched or cared about baseball in 20years but rich makes it...usually somewhat interesting.
Freddie Freeman vs lefties with the bases loaded: 9-14, 4 HR, 25 RBI, .643/.667/1.571, 2.238 OPS . this year stats. I knew the game was over when he stepped up.
6:43 Yeah, that didn't happen, Rich, Dodgers are up 3-0 without Ohtani. 🤪
Reminds me of taking my dad to our first WS game 10 yrs ago and we got crushed.
Freddie Freeman is in full-on Kelly Leak mode right now.
So glad Rich got to see his east coast team get grand slammed😂
There’s games like that in baseball all the time, of course this stands out because it’s the World Series
What is he referring to at 8:56?
Imagine how happy you’ll be when Donny wins next week too and we go back to no new wars and low taxes. I’ll come here to enjoy yall sayin “it’s onLy fer mIlliOnAires”😂
I always liked your analysis commentary you're right.Their just a better ball club more depth Tommy we get him at trading deadline with all the stars he's the MVP last series with elite defense former gold glober with hitting power.
Did not know that both home runs were just a min apart 😮
As a Yankee fan, Dodgers in 4
there`s no hope for the Yanks?
@@jackprescott9652nope. It’s over
Yeah, after tonight, this seems to be very likely.
@TheJupiterKnight
No. All three games could've gone either way.
After the first two in LA, I thought it was going to go to 7, home team winning each game.
Was that an nhl goal scoring style bat raise from Freddie ?
Yankees are gonna tie this up at 2-2 next 2 games. It’s not over at all. And I’m a Dodger fan!
As a fellow Dodgers fan, I’m glad this statement didn’t age well.
So happy that you were disappointed by game one.. but the best was still to come... GO DODGERS
Yankees = talent over fundamentals.
BOONE sold that game, walking Mookie who was 0-3 at that point and as of late struggling against lefty’s. So you load up the bases, and you bring in Nestor who’s been out for 1 month prior. He throws a meatball down the plate, I think even Judge would’ve hit it.
East Coast AL fans are so oblivious to the rest of MLB that they are shocked Freddie did what Freddie always does. They don’t have a clue how good other teams are outside the AL East due to hubris and arrogance.
Dodgers beat the Yankees asses. It wasn’t even close.
Sorry that Mr. Eisen was gutted when Freddie hit that grand slam. But, his pain is a good kind of pain. At least, the Yanks are in the post season practically every year. My team (Seattle M's) hardly ever makes it to the post season. This pain is dull but long-lasting.
I`m a Yankee fan and i have never thought about that.
They down 3-0 now. It is over.
Gutted? Move the tf outta LA 😂
“His first World Series game”, I’m probably never gonna be able to go one dang
I like this but not as much as when you reacted to TCU beating Michigan.
A Yankees fan from the ranks of ESPN? Unheard of!
Let's go Dodgers 🤍💙🧢⚾
