Growing up in Boston during the 80s, I didn't see him much during his prime years. I knew of him mostly from TWIB, baseball cards and daily box scores. During the 2023 HOF Weekend in Cooperstown, he was there selling autographs. For 10 dollars i got a great auto on a 1980 Topps card and a great 10 minute talk. Thanks Jack "The Ripper".

Wait...did he say "the best player other than me.." anywhere in there?

Let's get Neil O'Donnell in the HOF too... and the Cobra... and Randle El... and Kordell "Slash" Stewart ... and... the mighty John Cangelosi, Junior Gilliam and... and... and... Pete Rose.

I was at this game.

Loved this guy

Greatest catch ive ever seen and its not real close. Dude defies gravity. Hats off Kenny.

Really like Frank. really disappointed in this video. How about some real content on the subject?

mickey mantle call reggie the best slugger in mlb in the 1970's quite a complement from mickey and he should know he was one.

If Gil Hodges had gotten a hit in one of these games, maybe Brooklyn would have won the World Series. But then again, this is the (hated) Yankees we're talking about.

Maris was lucky he was playing at Yankee Stadium with the short porch in right. In most ballparks that would have been a routine fly ball out.

Pete Rose is a legend. Nolan Ryan should have been shaking in his boots. Pete Rose can hit off anyone easily!

I love baseball and the story of baseball and Mickey Mantle who wrote on Abner’s butts on very end of the story

Juan was one of the best ever. Longer career than Koufax and more career wins too. But thoese 2 were great for West coast Baseball

Clickbait. Mays didn't say that, the interviewer posed the question saying that, and Mays immediately went to Clemente.

Didn’t see a strike

Sounds like the liberal media of today. Nothings changed same tactics different time. Than You Malcom X

One of the greatest Yanks of all time!

Pitchers eventually had to adapt and get on the stuff too

I remember thinking What the hell is Yogi doing? Where's Willie ? Berra was not a good manager and I'll always think that he did this because of jealousy. How does Willie not play that game 7 ??? Dumb move Yogi

He looks like a goddamn superhero

Zack Hample was great too.

I remember watching this cartoon on one of the old Casper VHS tapes!

I think it was a little mean to keep him the chairman in his sick state

He signed my dad’s 80th birthday card back in 2016 at a preseason fundraiser attended by several well known Giants. I recall he did it rather begrudgingly. Oh well. RIP.

Most certainly garciaparra helped ferry in the age of the power hitting shortstop.

i can say i saw all these guys play . saw gaylord perry beat Cincinnati on a freezing night at candlestick park. if i remember correctly it was an astroturf field. incomplete park McCovey lost a lot of hr,s to right field. He hit a couple that looked like were headed to the Eastbay until it hit a wall of wind and dropped straight down. mays was still doing mays things at that point.

I really wanted to see some of his defensive highlights.

Bob Feller ...wowwww ...hopefully he got a big check ...thanks Bob

I was a catcher and wore number 8 and hit with a Mickey Mantle Louisville Slugger bat. Nothing could go wrong. I always hit 10 or more home runs in a 22-game season while in Little League and Pony League ( 13-14 years old).

Jimmy Foxx 0:03, Charlie Gehringer 0:08, Home Run Baker 0:16, Tris Speaker, Duffy Lewis, Harry Hooper (0:24-35), Waite Hoyt 0:40, Ty Cobb (0:45), Cy Young (0:58, left end)George Sisler (1:15 Browns). Ruth greets Cy Young (1:41), Ruth & Larry McPhail (1:52), Al Simmons (1:58), Cobb-Ruth-Speaker (2:11). My best guesses! Anyone know any others, feel free!

Mickey, you twit.

I love throwing my knuckleball people can't hit it more that 90 feet

''VIVA CEPEDA'' is a latin jazz recording played by the famous Cal Tjader Quintet. It was introduced during a 1958 San Francisco Latin jazz concert. The name of the LP is ''CAL TJADER'S LATIN JAZZ CONCERT'' on the Fantasy label.

Rip orlando cepeda 1937-2024

Jackie Robinson & Campanella were Arguing over Willie on that Last Play

Where did that 2nd Homerun hit probably half way up the scoreboard

Were all the pitchers he was going up against on steroids also? Like all the pitchers bonds and mcgwire were going up against.

I miss Howard Cosell.

Clemente didn’t have a weakness. His defense was amazing and what an arm! Both these guys were great 👍

RIP

Its worth noting that the supporters for RFK are racially diverse as opposed to the apparently all white McCarthy supporters.

When the crowd having a party for McCarthy, also at the Ambassador Hotel, was informed that RFK had been shot, they did not so much as pause but went right on with their party.

The Nixon administration made her out to be crazy when she had more integrity than all those men trying to silence her! She wanted them to do the right thing and that was asking for to much! Sad her husband couldn’t see,but he had no integrity! Man’s world corrupt.

I saw this live, and still remember the Yankees crowd just screaming when he came out for a bow.

Mr Balco

This was the Joe Biden of the Soviet Union. The USA is today in the exact same spot the USSR was in 10 years before it's collapse.

I guess everyone has a greatest era of baseball, but to me from the early 1950's through 1980's was when baseball was at it's best.

In that magical 1993 season that ALMOST saw the Giants make the postseason (103 wins and watched the playoffs on TV), Williams had a 2-HR game on April 18. The second one came after an improbable four-run ninth inning comeback to tie up the game at 12 apiece. Matty came up against former teammate Steve "Bedrock" Bedrosian, and clubbed the first pitch into the left field bleachers to give the Giants a 13-12 walk-off win, and Candlestick went nuts.

First Willie Mays, now Orlando Cepeda R.I.P
