Im 45 and Griffey imo is the greatest ballplayer in my lifetime...i hate that steriods had to exist especially in a game that lives and thrives on statistics....Griffey never had any alligations...he also missed a significant number of games due to injury...not to mention his defense....Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter ive ever seen with or wo steriods

Alot of these guys are the reason i love this sport most of all thwy meant so much in their own way today the game dont give that feel anymore

This was great except for the steroids guys

5;25 I was at that game. Niekro went through the order the first time and was lights out, the next time through, he got hammered. Made Kevin Mitchell look like a little leaguer in the first inning.

Awesome photo of McGwire at bat. Notice where he's looking. It's a moonshot, all right.

There is video of Armando Galrraga and you should have included it.

can we stop for a minute and think about how full stadiums used to be before they started selling water for $20?

It's a shame and embarrassment to MLB that Bonds, Sosa, and McGwire aren't in the hall of fame.

Imagine Williams, Mantle or Aaron on steroids.

This video had a historic and feel good vibe until all the steroid cheaters started showing up. This should have been a way shorter video.

Very cool! Thanks for posting 👍

So, 15 players between 1929 to 1999, then 13 players between 1999 to 2021.... many of those between 1999 to 2021 have had steroid accusations..... * (asterisk) should all be placed next to all with accusations.

Five guys what played for the O's, plus The Babe, what was born in Bawl-mer. Not too shabby, methinks.

Swing mechanics changed a lot over the years. Say what you will, but McGuire had the most fearsome swing ever.

7:33 when the ice cream man tries to catch a baseball

Jr. Griffey would have the most if not for all those injuries

How about the fact that Sammy Sosa, Mark Mcquire, Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds all have Steroid claims hanging on the home runs they supposedly hit. And who should never ever be put in the hall of Fame.

I remember seeing Bonds played in AAA in San Bernadino. They played the National Anthem, and people were laughing. Bonds was in the outfield, but he stood there facing the outfield wall. The flag was behind home plate.

i have the same body as Babe Ruth lol

I wonder how many steroid using baseball players have good health right now? is it true that steroids leads to cancer and bad health?

So, when are we going to get the next Cal Ripken, Jr. and excitement and glory back to baseball. I love baseball and have a lot of great memories. But i hear baseball is not loved by as many people now. Too many people care about the violent NFL and its politics and the tattoed convicts that play pro Basketball.

There's one of the so many reasons why Baseball has always and will always be America's Game! 🎉

Dominated recently by the steroid monsters--the cheating incredible hulks. Did anybody give a crap when Barry Bonds made it? Nope.

Tell us you're a Yankees fan without telling us you're a Yankees fan....

1965 was my 1st baseball game at Candlestick , yes the 3 M'S. I grew up watching alot of great baseball . Nice to drive down memory lane

in this era of dominant pitching I think we are back to where 500 home runs means something again.

Barry Bonds doesn't count

You will never have baseball like McGwire, Bonds, Palmeiro, Gtiffey, Thomas, Rodriguez, Thome and Sosa battling it out every single day. About one or more a year joining that club.. 50, 60, 70 home runs a season.. Those were the days men were monsters.

Griffey with Jr. They are all pretty damn special!

600? You said 5!

Baseball is a poem a ballet and a love story all wrapped up in one. Pure Romance

the second half of this video should be listed under chemical science

Harry Kalas called 2 of them.

I was there when Bonds hit 500. It was amazing the crowd stood and cheered for at least ten minutes. Haters will hate and HOF voters have ruined the HOF. Bonds is a legend and his numbers prove that.

a lot of steroids went into the making of this video!

Great video. You’ll have to add to this video before you know it. More than likely Pete Alonso

Um the announcer said that was Willie Mays’ 600th not 500th.

Did you notice, every single one (prior to Reggie) hit the ball and immediately ran? No “watching“ it no “bat flips.”

Ted Williams hit another 21 homers after June 17. His final season had to be one of the best ever for a guy in his 40s, as he was 42 by the end of the season.

That was fun. Some before my time, some during my time. Hopefully more after my time.

I'm pretty sure the announcer called Willie Mays' home run number 600.

Notice Babe didn't do a bat flip or a slow trot around the bases or any other self-congratulatory antics like you see so much of today.

Steroid era ruint baseball

The steroid era was the absolute best.

Why would anyone put the steroid users/cheaters on here! A disgrace to the game they all are.

You should discount the steroid players.😮

Nice. But cut the raiders like David Ortiz

Man that swing of Junior Griffey is sooo sweet. Just natural perfection.

McGuire, Bonds, Sosa, Palmeiro, A-Roid et al are cheaters and a disgrace to baseball.

Asterisk will always seem silly to me. Sure, guys used steroids. So did the pitchers. But for some reason David Ortiz is never lumped in with the rest. Yet he did fail a (voluntary and supposed to be anonymous) test.
