I’ll never forget as a 20 year old coming home from celebrating the fourth and turning on the TV to see how my beloved Mets did and being shocked that the game was still on in the 9th as I had not hear about the rain delays. I proceeded to watch the rest of that marathon and waking up the household screaming after Camp’s at bat.

I was 19 years old. My dad had Cancer. I had to work at a McDonald’s. I closed McDonald’s. Then, shot off Fireworks with brother, then I turned on the TV, to find the Mets game was still going.

RIP Rusty Staub (1944-2018) RIP Gary Carter (1954-2012) RIP Claudell Washington (1954-2020) RIP Bruce Sutter (1953-2022) RIP Rick Mahler (1953-2005) RIP Rick Camp (1953-2013) These men that played in this game may be gone, but the legacy of this Fourth of July Classic will forever live on.

Gary Carter played the entire game that night and morning.

I remember hearing and reading about the game back in the day (summer between freshman and sophomore year of uni as pre-med). I found it amusing that they decided to go ahead with the fireworks in early hours of the morning on July 5. Too bad with the ghost runner rule we’re never going to see epics like this again.

The game I only heard about a Couple years ago was... in 1984 with the Braves vs Padres is one of the WILDEST I ever saw. Two brawls in the same game? Yes! There was 13 players taken out of the game, 9 fans arrested and JOe Torre was Braves manager at the time. RIP Tony Gwynn and Alan Wiggins who were part of that game.

Watched it live. I'll never forget it.

My biggest takeaway is that a t-shirt of review brah with fireworks in the background should exist

The narrator said Dwight Gooden's 1.53 ERA was the lowest since 1917. His memory bank must've closed, as Bob Gibson posted a 1.12 ERA in 1968.

I flew in from Parachute Rigger School that day and found all my high school friends to hang out with. When we saw they had a rain delay we knew we could make it down there and score some tickets. We hung out on the 3rd Base line with my buddy who was the bat boy. As it got to be around 0200-0230 I found myself falling asleep and I was standing up! We left and the next day everyone was talking about the fireworks going off and waking to whole town up. Cool memories

What a game. Those really long crazy extra inning games are not as possible today because of today's extra innings ghost runner at 2nd base. I remember some of these highlights from my childhood.

The major reason Dale Murphy isn't in the HOF is you have to take his whole career into consideration yeah he great numbers in Atlanta but when he went to Colorado his numbers weren't so great and Colorado is a hitters park which Murphy was great at .

I remember watching the fireworks going to a party and getting home about 3am and finding this game was still on

Before Bartolo Colon there was Rick Camp......

The game which got John Sterling the Yankees' play-by-play role a few years later

Gary Carter played the entire game. RIP.

I remember watching that game on TV, going to bed, waking up and still seeing it.😊

I fell asleep in NYC on WWOR channel 9 and woke up thinking it was a rebroadcast only to realize it was still live.

I watched this game live.

Dale Murphy not being in the HOF is a travesty .

Dale Murphy, the only MLB player from the late 60's to the present you can say for sure never used ped's.

Also it's JEFF Dedmon, not Terry Dedmon, and Gene Garber, not Garner.

You're criteria for a crazy games seem like scoring and late late late finishes. Well two other games come to mind involving the Phillies. First one: 17 May, 1979 - the game known as "The Shoot-out at Chicago Game." Final score: 23-22 Phillies win in 10 innings. Second one: 2-July, 1993 - Second game of a double header Phillies won 6-5 in 10 innings. Game winning RBI by Phillies closer Mitch Williams. Trevor Hoffman took the loss. If you think that was bizarre, wait there's more: The game was scheduled as 2 July. The time of the start of the game was 1:28 AM July 3rd. (Yes, you read that right.) It was the 2nd game of a double header and game one had a couple rain delays. BUT the Phillies determined to get both games in decided to start game 2 at 1:28 in the morning. The game ended about 4:30 in the morning. For extra rain related irony, game one was a make up game which was - you guessed it - a rain-out from 21 April. Baseball is a very interesting game. Isn't it?

When I saw the title of this video, I thought that the Cubs-Phillies game was going to be the topic.

The narrator sounds like Zack Hample.

I was not at both games...

ok yeah this is wilder than 2 home runs from Steve Jeltz

Great video I’m glad I found this channel

:38 backwards US map??

8:14 Daryl Strawberry actually still needed his milk and bedtime story but pretty close to his bedtime.

Back when baseball was great, the ghost runner and the DH have taken the soul of the game.

DH I agree sucks. Ghost runner I'm okay with for regular season games, there comes a point where teams consider putting in position players even with pitchers available, because possibly winning one regular season game is often not worth tiring out your entire pitching staff. The stakes aren't high enough to justify this sort of marathon in the regular season and I'd even be fine with games just ending in a tie after, say, 12 innings. But playoff extra innings should be sacrosanct.

I watched all night I was Mets fan

Dedication. I took naps in between thinking it was a rebroadcast but instead was live.

You know once upon a time pitchers could hit. Roger Craig, Manager of the Giants would often use Starting Pitcher Don Robinson to pinch hit if he was not pitching.
