I know. Flashing back to my 13yo self in Massachusetts. This is an insane nostalgia hit. What a time for baseball, Griffey was such a privilage to watch.

I like watching old videos of griffey Jr, taking over the MLB. He was magnificent at batting and at the field.

1999 was a little past Griffey's prime or "taking over" but he was still great!

I'm not much of a baseball fan, but the few times I saw him swing the bat, it looked marvelous. And he looked good while doing it 😏 lol

RIP Stuart Scott

53:30...that HR ball by McGwire landed on the rooftop across the street from Fenway. WOW.

I wasn’t even born yet when this happened so it was incredible, I love to watch baseball from before my time. I hope they do another all star weekend in Boston 🙏🏼

I was there for this derby. It's crazy to think this was 21 years ago now. I'm only 29, this makes me feeling old af now 😂😂😂

Crazy I was only 8 myself watching this going for Griffey of course

Man the pregame for this one was great. Piazza was a treat worked really well with Berman and Morgan in the booth

I remember this one only 8 yrs old and my grandpa told me to turn the TV off because it got late and of course I just turned the volume down so I can see the hometown kid Griffey Jr put on for my Cincy Reds 💯💪🏿

Too bad Canseco hurt his back a few days before this. He led the AL with 31 HRs. Would have been awesome to see him go head to head against McGwire

Griffey would have smoked his ass too

So many incredible memories from 98-04. Being a 20 something from Boston during this time was an absolute dream. I'll never forget this AS weekend or whatever you want to call it. From McGwire hitting out on the pike to Pedro striking out 5 of 6 of the best ever. And freaking Nomar!!!! What a time to be alive

Pedro was the best pitcher of the MLB in those years.

I used to go watch Jaha play double A ball in El Paso in 91, he was a super nice guy to me as a young kid.

thx for uploading this frickin childhood flashbacks ....

Buffer rolling the f*** outta some R's

Junior turned the big 50 a few months ago , hard to believe..... He would've hit 700 homers had he not been injured often with the Reds and 1995 with the Mariners. Still had 3 or 4 great years with Cincinnati.

Griffy would have been the home run king instead of Cheater Bonds. If he wasn't injured.

They interview griffey first round and talk about Mark Mcgwire? Then goes hr at every part of fenway that's griffey's answer legendary

They may have been juiced, but this made baseball so interesting to watch.

U know what at this point most don't care if they where the 98 hr race to 62 hr save baseball

I can't wait for the All Star game to be back at Fenway. The derby would be awesome with the Monster seats now.

1,000 THANKS. I've never seen this one before, not even McGwire's round. And i recorded most of them from 1995 through 2014.

When Nomar dropped the F bomb live on ESPN lol

Why was I about to start hitting the side of my phone like a tv with bunny ears 😂

Is there any recording that includes Smash Moth's performance?

That was entertainment my god we need the needles back the players back then where really smart only they where protecting themselves a lot of games to be played the body can’t take that

smashmouth played this epic event... idk how to feel about that

Joe Morgan was the goat at calling games

49:00 the camera man runs over a kid. Also go Steelers! Kordell Stewart!

ESPN will not ever have a roster as good as they did in the late 90's. Sorry not sorry. Lol.

51:18 HELLO NEW HAMPSHIRE!

Chris Berman reminds me of Fred Flinstone

Berman is just awesome in the booth--a genuine legend. Morgan is a perfect sidekick. Piazza was great, too.

Today's HR game sucked

Who’s the idiot who got rid of this theme music?

Nomar 20:50 😂

when sammy sosa was still black lol

Why did espn turn to shit! This was epic music and coverage. Now it sucks

Hey BERMAN…. ITS KEN GRIFFEY JR…. It’s not junior Griffey

All the people condemning Mcgwire and Sosa now. We all knew they were juicing. WE DID NOT CARE. It was so fun to watch. Easy to act so self righteous now. But I maintain Mark Mcgwire is the greatest home run hitter of all time. Side note at 1:27:00 you can hear the ball scream as Jr. spanked it's ass 😂

Sosa was never a good all star

Bagpipes!!! He may have been a dbag in his personal life but he sure was fun to watch on the field. The sound of his batting gloves grinding, his insane wide stance squatting down more than I've ever seen another hitter. He just took massive cuts. Definitely one of the steroid guys also but that doesn't bother me at all. Steroids gave us the absolute best baseball we've ever seen and I miss them and I miss bags
