I honestly don't know anything about his personality except for this video . I'm a Red Sox fan and, being a AL purist at the time (I am older), I didn't really focus on him; but, I worked with someone who was a Mets fan. My understanding that there is or was a rivalry at the time? His WAR is legendary and he is definitely a HOFer. But the guy just looks like the actor in the 80s teen films who was a complete jerk in HS.
I wouldn't've included Astros footage for obvious reasons. They cheated for at least 3 years. Nothing they do will ever been seen as an accomplishment by me nor should they by others considering just how crooked they are.
I hope he gets his jersey retired. I know there were a lot of Cubs better all time but he brought happiness to the field of darkness after 108 years. Not the best, but the most important cub of all time in my opinion.
Announcer he has to do something different. Never has been called for a balk but ya needs to do something different. And he stayed set longer and still got called for a balk. Announcer please stfu
This video is lacking diversity… I think I’ll loot some stores. - I hate this era. The Mick hit one off the facade at old Yankee Stadium that was still going up and predicted it would have gone 563 or something absurd. Dave Kingman hit one clear out of old Yankee Stadium. Mark Macguire hit several that were way 515+. I could go on. But oh yeah “statcast” didn’t exist then.
I still think about this moment when watching him play. Just imagine. He could’ve kept his head down and said nothing to the media and he would’ve continued to hate this place and us fans would’ve lost all respect for him. But he admitted to it, owned up to it, and apologized. We showed that we still supported him. And look where he is now. We fucking love him and he fucking loves this place
Such a shame what injuries did to his career, but he will forever be an absolute legend in Cubs history, and one of the most handsome players in MLB history lol
Angel is a good dude. Really is. My family knows him well. My uncle and angels cousin worked together. He is a really funny guy. Alot of cool stories, but he needs to get off the plate
I walk in a park that has several fields including a big one with a 250 foot fence. As I walk outside the fence with my dog, I look back at the plate and think "that's a pretty good shot to make it over this." These guys are hitting the ball twice... as.. far. The ball would still be rising when it made it this far.
