Chicago CUBS at New York METS 5/2/84 Original WGN Broadcast 

Cubs road uniforms from 1982-89 were awesome!

Just watched the first inning. Man that brings back some memories, I sure loved that '84 Cubs team!

I loved the opening with Van Halen's "JUMP!" That was a tough year. Really thought my beloved Cubs were heading to the WS. If not for one Steve Garvey homerun. I love Harry and Steve...

This intro is just so good

Such a great capture of time from 1984!

That top of the first wa so exciting! How I miss '80s baseball.

You are by far and away the greatest and most nostalgic uploader on RU-vid. Period, end of story.

I think the Mets and the Cubs were the best two National League teams in 1984, but the Mets just peaked too soon. The Cubs found themselves at the right time and just had bad luck in the postseason. It's fun seeing the Mets here as they were beginning to find themselves for the first time in nearly a decade.

Takes me back to when I had Falcon Cable TV in Los Angeles. WGN - Chicago and WTBS - Atlanta were the Superstations in my menu of channels along with the regular Los Angeles Channels, so I had the privilege of watch Cubs and Braves games on a regular basis, except when either team would be playing the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

Carrey makes every pitch feel like a playoff game.

Ahhhhhh great game..I'm from San Diego Cali. and still live here..My Wife's from Chicsgo..South side but a Huge Cub Fan ( Funnnny ) my grad year and attending UCLA that Fall 18 years and so much Energy and Hair..I've had the Luxury of Catching bout 12-15 Games at Wrigley during a few summers I stayed with my mom in my College breaks..hey that was an AWWWSEME Series that my Padres Took from the Cubs...Man I miss 1984⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️✌✌👍

I still love the old uniforms with the stirrups. The players looked much more professional and classy. We need to go back to that uniform style. Players today are just lazy.

These are just so great - really appreciate this, and all your uploads! Thanks, you're awesome!

From a diehard Mets and White Sox fan your chanel is the best

And of course, when it came to the cubs at NY Mets , If memory serves correctly, WGN wasnt able to use their crew for the game, in fact Harry even made mention during the game of the fact that they had to use the mets tv crew [WWOR] and thats why some of the graphics and pictures were different [if you listen very closely you could hear someone giving Harry the closing cues "Executive producer/director Arne Harris" ,then with the close "WGN TV Sports Presentation" ]

I feel Cubs should have let Smith Pitch to Backman and Staub. He was Adolis Chapman of the 80s, threw 100 mph.

Many thanks!!!!!

Whoa why did Cubbage hold Danny Heep at third in the 9th? He could’ve had a walk-off inside-the-parker and decked Jody Davis at the plate. He had it. Damn. Still second-guessing after all these years lol.

I heard Harry and Milo didn't like each other...

Awesome:)) Do you have any other 1984 Cubs vs Mets?

Love these classic games and the 80's may had been the last golden age of Baseball. Cub's Mets, Yankee's & Blue Jays.

Is George Foster the only major leaguer in history to never dirty his uniform? He is like Deion Sanders. Didn't like to get dirty.

The balk in the first inning was because he didn't come to a set position. He didn't even put his hands together!

1:12:02 Steve Stone & Milo Hamilton.

.....runners on ...

2:07 Steve Stone & Harry Caray.

Umpires HP Bruce Froemming 1B Jim Quick 2B Lanny Harris 3B John Kibler (Crew Chief)

Bill Buckner is mentioned a couple of times early. He was traded to Boston later in the month for Dennis Eckersley. Buckner was critical of Durham’s blunder in the playoffs against San Diego later in ‘84, only to return to Shea Stadium and make a similar one against these same Mets in the ‘86 World Series.

@ 1:01:38... Classic Harry Caray right here. LMAO 😆 😆 😆
