7:10 That was a great argument. Both guys had total respect for each other

My Grandfather, who passed away in 1986, would always tell me that Reggie Jackson had the best swing in baseball. I agree with him, and I just wish he lived a little longer to see his Red Sox win the World Series. As a Red Sox fan, he respected the Yankees, and LOVED baseball.

@@pastoraddams5103 Exactly. I miss my grandfather very much, even to this day. He was a wonderful man. He never talked B.S. and would probably turn over in his grave if he knew what the world was like today. He was a sports fan, but baseball was always his favorite sport. I would visit him as a kid and see him always watching the Red Sox game. Everybody complained about Bill Buckner in the 1986 world series VS. The Mets for allowing the ball to go through his legs, but not my grandfather. He was a man of integrity and never played the "blame game". The Red Sox lost, and he never put all the blame on Buckner. He would say the ball took a funny hop. He just loved the game so much. Just wish he lived a bit longer to see them break the "curse". Actually, he died in 1988, and not 1986.

Herb Carneal? He only announced the Twins for several decades including 3 WS appearances - 65/87/91. He is a legend in the midwest. I'd place him way ahead of Hawk. Most of the other choices are fine. I personally don't like Miller but some folks like him. Thorne is okay but better at hockey. Not familiar with some of the other ones like Hamilton, Castiglione or Howarth. Scully is my #1 and Caray would be a few spots down perhaps behind Uecker, Buck, Harwell, King and Brickhouse. Rizzuto also was great as was Kalas. I would add Mel Allen since he did Yankees games for a long time.

Man did I hate the Yankees, but I had to respect them and the team they had. I don't think I'll ever see what Jackson did in that series. You just knew something was going to happen! Jackson needed those 2 championships to validate his greatness, and betting on himself after being traded by the A's to the Orioles in the 1976 season. The Orioles knew he wasn't going to stay, but made the trade anyway thinking they were close enough to the Yankees and Red Sox to justify a one year go! It didn't work, as the Birds finished a distant 3rd and the stage was set for another 2 titles for New York! The Yankees owe it to the A's Charlie Finley for breaking up a Oakland team at it's full peak! Those of us who followed 70's baseball knew, the A's of that era if they had stated in tacted would have been even more than a 3 straight time winner. Imagine the A's of the mid 70's, merging with the talent brought in at the back end of the decade and into the 80's. Players like Ricky Henderson, Tony Armas, Dwayne Murphy, Steve McCatty, Mike Norris, etc...The dynasty would have kept going well into the 90's when Canceco and McGuire came on the scene. The A's for some reason have always been able to scout and develop talent. Even to this day. But it was the Ownership that wrongly broke up a perfectly constructed champion, and the Yankees eventually came all the way back to win 3 straight Division titles' fight off a young n coming Kansas City Royals team who in their own right was a "Reggie Jackson" away from a dynasty themselves. 3 straight A.L. Pennants and back to back World Series Championships. When the Yankees traded let the Angels sign Jackson in 1982 they wouldn't get back to the post season for 13 years. By that time most of the players from that era had long been gone, and a new Yankees dynasty began. Best era of baseball all time! Hands down!

The Yankees had more of a balanced attack on offense than the Dodgers. The Yankees had more speed and hit-and-run ability along with Jackson and Nettles hitting the long ball. On offense, the Dodgers were more of a one dimensional offense with their power hitting. The “death valley” in Yankee stadium killed three of their four 30 HR hitters. Reggie Smith hit a grand slam, but he didn’t do what Reggie Jackson did with the three home runs, which was the final death blow to the Dodgers.
