Nothing better than the smell of a new leather baseball glove, the coolness of late summer evenings and nights as fall approaches, the crack of the bat as it meets the ball, the little sting from the ball when you make a catch at times, etc. Man, I love baseball.. almost as much as I loved it as a kid. Wish they had more leagues for adults lol. No softball.. real baseball. Its a game you shouldn't have to be a kid or a pro to experience firsthand. What a fantastic game.. this video is almost as good!

With history repeating itself, as it usually does, my son got Aaron Judge's autograph this year at yankee stadium. We also got Anthony Volpe's autograph last year while he was playing for the Somerset Patriots. We're enjoying seeing his first season in pinstripes.

Baseball is incredible. You can't compare to any other sport on the planet. As a non American it's just so quintessential to the culture of this magnificent country 🇺🇸 🫡

It's always been hard for me to sit through an entire game on tv, but when it's on the radio and I'm grilling or otherwise tinkering, it is special. As a Padres fan, I always liked Dave Campbell and Jerry Coleman (70's-80's). Never could stand Leitner and he took over sports everything in San Diego for 20 years - blah, blah, blah.

I love these old timers from back then - up into the 1950's. I especially love some of their names. The game seemed more fun back then. They seemed to have played much harder with more drive and passion and really earned their pay AND the fans seemed to really be into it. Today seems all commercialized and soft and very safe.

Fans adored the fat man, Babe Ruth, so much they gave Roger Maris hell for breaking his record. What these uninformed boobs failed to realize was Ruth played in a far weaker era. By consensus baseball's greatest era was the period from the mid forties to early sixties. Integration had raised the talent level to unprecedented heights. Pitching in the era of Cobb and Ruth was closer to beer league level than big league. Pitchers threw harder with a greater repertoire than ever before during that latter era. Not only was relief pitching now in vogue, an entire new arsenal of pitches emerged. Great stars like Willie May's played under the worst hitting conditions imaginable. Facing wonderful pitching, in the wind tunnel known as Candlestick Park. Yet, he hit over fifty Homer's twice! When evaluating eras all factors need to be considered. Not just numbers.

One of my favorite KZread documentaries

The guy who batted behind Hack Wilson (190 RBI) had 130! That was the era of bad pitching where the entire league batted over .300. Sportsphone in NYC used to have a trivia contest where the winner got to make a brief speech. They asked who was the only team to go an entire season without being shut out. I guessed: "Yankees?" They said "correct." I then said...."hmmm 1932?" They asked if it was a guess, I said yes, and they said "A very good guess!'

One notable discovery found in a shed in a village in Surrey, southern England, in 2008 was a handwritten 18th-century diary belonging to a local lawyer, William Bray. "Went to Stoke church this morn.," wrote Bray on Easter Monday in 1755. "After dinner, went to Miss Jeale's to play at base ball with her the 3 Miss Whiteheads, Miss Billinghurst, Miss Molly Flutter, Mr. Chandler, Mr. Ford and H. Parsons. Drank tea and stayed til 8."

It almost makes sense that this would happen. When the teams that are winning and winning and getting to the world series the teams that are bad have to work back up to get there. So while those world series teams get worse those worse teams adversely get better. They match up over time the same way and coincidentally it happens at the same time. And over 140 years that cycle just keeps playing itself out.

Joe Jackson didn't play any different in the world series than he had all season. However he did take five thousand dollars from gamblers to throw the series. The prevailing belief is he took the money and cheated the gamblers. It was the first baseman and the sox ace pitcher that actually threw the series.

At 1:02:10 when Maris hits his dinger, look at the empty upper deck stands. At Yankee Stadium. Their own player reaching a truly remarkable milestone and instead of circling the wagons, New York turned their back on him and made his life miserable. In his own home field. Having known this since before 1998, I was glad when McGwire shattered the record, as all those generations of trolls who have sat in the stands in the Bronx and called themselves "fans" for decades do not deserve that record in pinstripes. Like spoiled brats getting lobster and throwing a tantrum that they wanted prime rib, or something. Needless to say, because of that I was also glad that the career record belonged to Hank Aaron as a Brave, and that A-roid didn't get there.

Other than implementing the Designated Hitter and outlawing the spit-ball, the rules of baseball haven't changed in 150 years. Football and basketball are unrecognizable from their inceptions and the rules governing play change almost annually. Gimme some hardball every time!

Baseball sure has changed since I played the game sixty years ago. It used to be the game that kids played on a vacant lot somewhere when you could get four guys together to play a game. How I used to love to hear the crack of a bat, and see the ball sail into the outfield. I never could throw very well, but I loved to hit that ball. I read a book on how to hit, and I could hit the ball into any field. It was a fun game of my youth, but once I got my heigth I just wasn't the same. I couldn't do anything sports wise the same. Yes, plain simple baseball sure has changed. They've had to supe up baseballs to beat the records that the Babe and others set. A real shame this. A real shame. Hank Aaron never beat the Babe's record, because he achieved his record with less times up to bat. Times up to bat is part of the record. We in this country have cut corners on too many things. Life was meant to be simple and equal for everyone. When will we realize this, or will we ever?'

1. WS Game 7 cubs vs Indians I’ve never watched baseball or anything like that and I remember I was in the other room and my dad was in the living room watching TV and he put the WS on and he called me over and when I heard that the cubs haven’t won is 100 years I was going for them hoping they would win and when they won I was so happy and after that I played baseball and watch baseball I fell in love with baseball watching that game quite literally changed my life 2.

@@killer_rosas1681 I've only ever been to two MLB games, both for the Reds in 1987. Eric Davis was on the team. I think we lost both games, and one of them was rainy. The best ballpark I've ever been to is in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. It was one of the few remaining all-wooden ballparks in America. I watched a game there in 2011 I think. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wahconah_Park

What I can't believe is that everyone accept that ridiculous theory that Abner Doubleday invented Baseball.

Why can't I seem to find part 2?
