My Mom was so cool and understanding allowing me to skip school to see this game 2 and game 3. Still have the scorebook I kept miles away across country in LA.

I also watched in LA but I missed most of this game because of school. I saw the 10th inning.

I love the way Foli chokes up even when he's clearly swinging away. I can see today's managers absolutely aghast at this. "How are you going to hit a solo home run like that??!!"

Thank you for this. Unreal to see this again! I didn't go to school so I could see this. My Mum understood completely, she was a huge Pirates fan too.

As a Reds fan it's difficult to click "like" on this...but as a Dave Parker fan, I did. :)

As a Reds fan, two heartbreaking extra inning losses in the first two. Cost them the series.

Absolutely got no breaks this whole series..it was the pirates year. Plain n simple

The Pirates had the most awesome uniforms between 1977 and 1984. Then they decided to follow the crappy gray trend begun by San Francisco in 1983. By 1992 everybody was gray again, with Montreal and Kansas City being the last two holdouts with powder blue. But the real dark jersey era ended in 1990 once the Cubs changed to gray too.

I agree. Nowadays, every team just wears dull all-white/all-gray uniforms, with an occasional colored shirt.

The Pirates still wore the all yellows in 1986 with the gold helmets because that's the uniform Barry Bonds was wearing when he hit his first home run in Atlanta

Thanks again for posting this. I remember this game my dad was getting family vehicle inspectioned and had listen to most of the game on radio by time it was over I had to watch highlights on news

I am not sure why Concepcion would be stealing third with one out and Bench at the plate in the bottom of the third inning. That really killed a potential rally.

Back then, even though NBC had the nationwide TV rights to the League Championship Series that year (ABC showed the World Series, which the Pirates went on to win), the participating teams' local stations, such as KDKA-2 in Pittsburgh, were allowed to do their own broadcasts.

Yes. The local station would simulcast the national broadcast and use their own announcers. I believe 1983 was the last year they were allowed to do that.

As I recall, the Collins play in the 5th inning was a huge controversy at the time. Today of course, it would be overturned, and the Reds might have won this game. Pirates probably still would have won the series but you never know.

Collins was an underrated player who stole a lot of bases for the Reds and then the Blue Jays. There was no doubt he had the speed to make a play like that one, and I too believe the call would've been over-turned under today's replay technology.

As a Reds fan maybe they win this one. More than likely the Pirates win the series. The Pirates had a great team and it just seams like they were a team of destiny that year. Loved pops and the cobra even as a Reds fan.

Johnny Bench and others on the Reds downplayed losing Pete Rose, but Rose got the last laugh as the Reds could only win a division title without Rose, while Rose won a WS and played in another without the Reds.

Lot of complicated interpersonal issues between bench and rose. No doubt Pete rose was as valuable a player you could have on a postseason team. But, the Reds should've won this series.

I didn't say anything about shills. But yes, I think home announcers should be emotionally vested in their team. They can still be professional and pull for the home.team. National broadcasts are different. I'm referring to home broadcasts.

Interesting that Tanner had Madlock, who batted .328 with the Bucs that year, in the #6 spot. I don't know if that is where Tanner always had him batting, but seems a bit low in the lineup for someone who was hitting that well and had already won 2 NL batting titles. And then he had Garner in the 8th spot and he batted .293 that year. That is some good hitters in the bottom half of the lineup.

Bad baserunning by Tim Foli in the 4th inning. He "must" score from 2nd base on a double off the wall. Parker and Stargell were correct in their running.

@ericdailey8587

Жыл бұрын

Well, was Foli thinking Foster would make the catch, so he stayed at second in order to tag up (as the announcers were discussing), since Foster would have had his back to the infield when making the catch? Foster did come close. What I don't get is why he did not run home when they went after Stargell. He had started towards home plate when he realized what was happening, so it wasn't like he had a full 90 feet to run.

Having Rose in this series would have made a huge difference. Look at the inspiration he gave the Phillies the next year. Mike Schmidt has publicly credited Rose with giving him the confidence to carry a team on his back.

SLIDING BOXES!!!!!!!!!!! They should NEVER have been allowed!!!!! UGLIEST baseball diamonds EVER!!!! And not just in Pittsburgh. . .I'm a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan and I HATED them in St. Louis also. A real baseball diamond with a dirt infield is one of the most unique athletic fields in all of sports. Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, and Football all use the same shape of field for their games. . .a rectangle. But no other sport uses the unique shape of a "real" major league baseball diamond. . .WITH NO SLIDING BOXES. I am SO glad that all the new "retro" ballparks have done away with them.

WE WEW WE US US US. Goodness how bloody tiring. Where are Joe and Tony with entertaining smart and objective broadcasting on NBC ? Pirate broadcast Yawn. No thanks. Give us the real deal
