Baseball's Longest Running Organist - Gary Pressy 

Damn that makes me a little sad. At least he had a good run! Did anyone pick it up?

I'm at a loss for words. The man did some great work.

Glad I got to hear him in person (without even knowing it)

Where'd you hear that?

f

he's a fine fucken wine! and I think he's one of those "we're always learning and can always get better" kinda guys

Unlike others it seems Rob has a deep passion and respect for the history of music. Instead of generic product ad runs for easy ad bucks, we get wholesome and meaningful content.

@@onfghng true that

Love them too! Great stuff

(Rob starts an interveiw show)

No one else is gonna realize who this is? No? Just me? Aight coo. Baseballs pretty cool. You come here often?

@@bryanrodriguez5195 took me like 10 seconds to realise.

What’s poppin

Also why does he not have a verified check mark by his name? Dude has 3 mil

Love both your guys’ content so much!

JJ Verona that the organ feel free to r/woosh

No. The stadium organist doesn't play the stadium, the church organist doesn't play the church and the guy in the bell tower doesn't play a building, stop commenting this, this isn't a good meme

no one has humor in the comments of this comment lmao

@@davida.2182 bruhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@@davida.2182 No sense of humor I see...

How does this not have a single comment

@@DioBrando-dx8pk It's not needed. But yeah, props to them.

Just ain’t the same man

Amen

xooperz its all about having one of the oldest baseball stadiums in the league. You gotta keep the aesthetic alive

I really like how he talks about taking credit if they win there... I was a touring lighting director for years and I *_absolutely_* take credit for the crowd cheering when the band didn’t do anything special...

@@grendelum it could just be pride for what he does, a whole audience cheers for a good organ player and those old american tunes

he's like a dj running a dance party

besides his organ playing and awesome personality

I listen to music based off how I feel, so I know why he does that.

Ok

*organs.*

I'm Belgian, haven't watched a baseball game in my life, barely even know any team names beyond having heard about some featured in movies and TV Shows. But when I hear that organ music, Baseball is what immediately comes to mind.

Yeah

Ok

Ya Boi Henry the room

Even though he's not even close

BLM would just tear it down

Second base

@@ThingWub why?

This is awesome!

Hi Zack!

Howdy zack

ZACK HAMPLE

love is the word most apporpriate with either Gary, Wrigley, or my Cubbies

In most stadiums it is just pre-recorded tracks.

Spanish Moustache What?

Where?

Spanish Moustache pedantic much?

@Spanish Moustache oh boy we got a goldie out here

It was not

@@cadengreco Oh he retired? Damn, missed opportunity lol.

AlibifortheAfterlife from what I’ve found, he hasn’t retired yet

AlibifortheAfterlife I feel like he’s the type of person who loves and respects his job so much that he wouldn’t cause any trouble, as funny as it may be

He’d get sued

Probably was, but played sick.

His sick days are only during off season

@Spanish Moustache My father doesn't get any sick days, a week is generous.

Spanish Moustache perhaps get a better job as I do not have that issue at all . What does suck is the lack of job security . They can fire your ass whenever they please

Spanish Moustache what’s a sick day? Here where I work in the UK if you’re sick you ain’t getting paid

I like you,Steve.

El Steve-O Radio™ Ha also from corpus. Sweet.

omg that's genius

That's clever

That woulda been so weak😂

Arched Kraken I don’t get it

Arched Kraken explain

Yeah I noticed that too..LOL

Triggered me so fucking hard.

That’s probably the reason they went out of business

Made for Gary Pressy because he Pressys all the keys.

If they'd put "daaaa cubs" I'm sure they'd still be in business.... lol

Yep. Me too.

It cemented itself in my head as the sound of carnivals (funfairs, not actual carnivals) and circuses somehow. Either my brain misassociates it or it's used in this context in American film as well.

Argentinean here, and yea, me too, it feels really weird, like, I don't even remember when I heard it first....

@@hansfranz8795 - using the organ in this way has a history going back to the Romans over 2000 years ago.

@PLEASENINTENDONT Cool, thanks for the info!

Peter ohne Nachname 200th like

He has one bc of you now

DONE.

I don't see any article on Gary Pressy... link?

Just pay 3$

I would if I knew what that meant

Max Sandison glissando is when he slides his hands up or down the keys

S m o o t h

This needs more likes

Whoever said he was human

Princess Random that’s*

Phi6er I think everybody would start fighting if he played rip and tear

I want to see this so badly now

every baseball fan has. Im a yankees fan but ive watched the cubs in the postseason

-KIMG- not necessarily every fan

That looks like its sound would be called *trve*. :D

Welcome to the almost new alphabets noobie.

I would never have guessed you were his classmate from your typing. You’re as young as you feel, dude.

xela I think he just means the same high school

@@axelbruv lol what?? He doesn't mean they went together he means they both went to the same high school

how da fuk u know he went to ur high school then if you’ve never heard of him till now

@@innitmate2198 he probably looked him up

Europe is good country

LOL YES, so cliche but i love it

@@thesqn8564 i hope you're joking

The sound of -baseball- stupid

@@thesqn8564 Europe is a continent

I read that in Niko Bellic’s voice in my head. Sorry mane...

Take me out to the ball game! ⚾

what’s life like in russia? is puttin nice? how is your typical day look?

I’m American and I played baseball for 14 years throughout my childhood and let me say it’s much much more fun to play than to watch

Go communism!!!

He actually retired last year, but he never missed a game in 33 years

Dave S Most of them do these days.

Looks like it

I started playing piano at the age of 3. By the time I was 15 I had racks of old school analog synthesizers. I would probably look at the cock pit of your aircraft and get a brain lock. I would be looking at every device and switch in there. I've always been fascinated how you guys fly those huge airliners. Great skill you guys have and I so very much appreciate all you do.

now you know how we feel.

PETR NO KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE SKY STOP LOOKING AT YOUR PHONE

Eh, autopilot has the controls.

Hey do we really need to switch our device to airplane mode while flying

HIII FUTURE GUYS!

I'm looking forward to a three second long 2nd channel video just with that blooper.

Timestamp?

Pompa Tj there you go

Arabian Chocolit Whores

Knowing the owner of the Cubs, I'm actually surprised Gary is still there. . . :/

Skip6235 it’s all good I’m sure he works for the field not the team

@@Skip6235 Plot twist Gary actually runs the team. The owner works for HIM. That's not true, it's just a nice fantasy lol.

​@@Skip6235Teams can often have some unofficial maskot who's pretty darn untouchable or they'll get the wrath of their fans. Not really one of the players, but someone behind the scenes who doesn't rely on their abilities in sports. What they need is unfailing loyalty as well as a distinct personality that clicks with the fans. In the hockey team I'm watching it's the storekeeper. This is very much a east end team so it's a former drug addict who's now only addicted to Coka Cola. Fitting, eh?

He's the original Meme Lord

Those are some nice sport terms

I'm AmEriCan and I don't even know wtf--

Im from Argentina and i knew what is the baseball HSHAAHAAH

Hmm yes the base and the ball seem quite good today, yes yes. Good day for a rousing game of sports if I do say so myself.

Yes, yes, a nice touchdown, my good Sir.

Agree

watch Hamelin do an octave glissando

Gliss on organs or keyboards don't really hurt because the keys are super light but they sort of hurt on actual pianos especially if the piano is old and wasn't maintained well over the years.

Organs use so called waterfall keys, there’re super light and made for this

@@Xemerius7 those are not waterfall keys.

Sounds like the whole stadium, but I could be wrong

I’m wondering the same

We'll never know, probably.

It couldn't harm anybody, but for the sound capture for the video, I suppose it was cabin only.

the organ pipes go outside (an assumption) so i dont see a way to get the sound only inside

It's not flexing. You just injoy the music when playing it cause I play piano accordion

Rhys Thompson In all honesty this song with this instrument just speaks baseball to me.

April 1st

maybe playing baseball at the same time?

4:20 is more accurate. And better. Because it's 420

@@richardmillhousenixon ha.

Tuna Time it be a dream for me

Japan loves baseball

All of America. Latin America loves baseball too.

Home run!

Or the Ondes Martenot!

Or the clavichord - get that sweet 14th century vibrato

@@HermelJaworski an ondes martenot would be awesome

3rd on the Ondes Martenot recommendation.

I recommend you go to a game sometime in your life whether its a minor league game or a major league game. Baseball is also really easy to learn. Btw baseball is so much better in person rather than on TV.

Baseball is democracy played out on a field

@@badcornflakes6374 Why so? (Sorry if that´s joke I didn´t catch)

@@GabrielNardinMusic In baseball, democracy shines its clearest. The only race that matters is the race to the bag. The creed is the rule book. And color, merely something to distinguish one team's uniform from another's.

@@GabrielNardinMusic baseball is a perfect metaphor for hope in a democratic society. It has to do with the rules of play. It has to do with the mode of enforcement of these rules. It has to do with certain nuances and grace notes of the game. First, it’s the remarkable symmetry of everything. All those threes and multiples of three - calling attention to - virtually making a fetish of the game’s noble equality. Equality, that is, of opportunity. Everyone is given exactly the same chance. And the opportunity to exercise that chance at his own pace.

Thats what she said

Maybe they could only afford the display model. /s

Maybe they (Wrigley Field) left it intentionally blank just because they knew someone would eventually notice it

I mean.. someone had to intentionally make the plaque that said "customer name"... Why even stick it on there if you can't put an actual name unless it's a display model
