I cannot believe game 6 of the 1991 World Series is not on this list. That’s the game Kirby Puckett hit a home run in extra innings off Charlie Liebrandt to win the game for the Twins. I was at that game and it is far and away the loudest crowd I have ever heard!! My ears rang for several days afterwards. I would guess game 7 of that series was equally loud. Bad job on not including either of those games

1987 World Series Kent Hrbek Grand Slam or the last out. That WAS 3x Louder than MOST of these!!

It's an absolute travesty that Puckett's game 6 walk-off in the 1991 WS isn't in this video. That may have been the loudest single moment in WS history in that dome.

I genuinely believe that baseball suffered because of Joe Buck's calls. It just takes away from the peak excitment of the games.

I think this video does a great job of highlighting how terrible Joe Buck was and how he ruined postseason coverage for 2 decades. Every Joe Buck call is the same. There is no life or unique-ness to any of them. "Back at the wall, its gone" every single time. Most announcers describe the action. Joe Buck describes the result. He clearly does this on purpose and I do not know why. He watches a play and summarizes it in the most lifeless 5 words possible. 8:34 I don't even know who this announcer is, but listen to how good of a call he makes simply by following the play moment-by-moment and doing play by play of what he sees. "the 3-2 pitch is BELTED to right field, back on it goes Sanders, at the wall he CAN'T GET IT home run!" If you were an Angels fan I'm sure you could identify what home run that was simply by reading that sentence. Buck's call on Freeze's home run is terrible in my opinion, but at least its unique and memorable. Vin Scully decimates Buck in this regard. His Bill Buckner call will live on for hundreds of years because of its passion, surprise, and excitement. He is in the moment watching the play just like the viewer is. He is surprised Buckner misses the ball at the same second we are. He is expecting to describe how Buckner fields the ball behind first, so he says "little roller up along first behind the bag," but when he gets halfway through the sentence Bill makes his blunder so it becomes "BEHIND THE BAGGG" and one of the most memorable calls in sports history is born. Buck had his chance on a similarly wacky play with the Brett Phillips walk-off, and while his call is okay, you can see how he's simply not cut out to call a play at that pace. He lags behind the play, doesn't allow himself to get excited, and summarizes the action instead of living in it. It's exciting to hear an announcer be caught off-guard by the surprise of a play (think Al Michaels call of Antonio Freeman's catch). Buck never cuts his sentences off or changes gears. Or he never used to, he is getting better (Garrett Wilson catch vs. Bills). But the damage is done, people will forget the Brett Phillips walk-off because the call was bad. People will forget Derrick Henry's 99-yard run because the call was bad. Nelson Cruz hit a walk-off Grand Slam vs. Detroit and it has already been forgotten because the call was bad. Meanwhile, "Touch em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life" will be immortal forever.

@@Andrewmehr_ I agree with you. The 2010s had great moments but Buck was horrible. Wasnt he also in NFL unless i am mistaken?
