After a quarter of a century, still a game for the RECORD BOOK. Largest extra-inning deficit recovered to WIN a ballgame in the history of the Major Leagues. www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2013/2...
I was AT this game sitting about 7 rows back of home plate. It stands as the greatest moment of my being a baseball fan. Still remember the light rain, and the heavy celebration! 13-12.
I miss Harry and Stony like crazy (yeah, I know Stony's not "gone", but he's not doing Cubs games anymore). Two class acts, upstanding guys who are amazing broadcasters. ❤
I was at this game...sat in centerfield just behind the hitters backdrop. Stayed entire game, probably less than 500 fans left when it ended. Would like to see the Pittsburgh feed of the game. We were only people left in outfield, so the Pirates broadcast showed us a few times between innings.
I remember a game in Cincinnati in '95 that we led 5-3 in the 10th and then gave up four in the bottom of the inning. Memorable but not nearly as memorable as this one.
Was at this game with my Dad and Brother. We left early thinking Pittsburgh got spanked only to hear on the radio on the way home that the buccos made an amazing comeback to win the game.
2:41:08 - I remember watching this game with my uncle. When Dawson came up he said "oh this is over, he's gonna hit a grand slam." Sure enough, he was HALF right!
EPIC comeback(s) by the Battlin' Buccos in THIS one! I REMEMBER that weekend! TWICE in three days they overcame a grand slam homer by future Hall of Famer Andre Dawson! A game for ALL Pirate fans to relish HERE!
Rick Brosh, do you have on VHS, Cubs-Pirates (4-21-1991) from KBL, or audio, Cubs-Pirates (4-21-1991) from KDKA Radio and the Pirates Baseball Network?
@@mariepavlov9144 No, I recorded a replay of this broadcast off of ESPN Classic years ago (a recording whose whereabouts I lost track of and/or lost), but I haven't seen tell of any available replays of it off of Pirates radio and TV.
Wow ! I'm italian (gibomber is my channel ). Luca is an italian name . Gary Scott..it reminds me of better times, when I was 20 years old. The only thing that has not changed...my love for baseball. Hi from Rimini (Italy)
The 1991 Cubs, as hard as it is to believe now, were picked by many experts to win the NL East and perhaps the pennant. The funny thing was their three key free agent signings-George Bell, Danny Jackson, and Dave Smith-all ended up on the DL to end the disappointing season.
I remember this game is had to work didn't get to see it until a co-worker told me about it and I had to see the highlights to believe it thought for sure the buccos would went series in early 1990's but after 92 season gave up on them
Dave Smith sucked as a closer for the Cubs...he was great with Houston. I remember listening to this game and was sure the Cubs would pull it out after Dawsons grand slam...no to be outdone, they managed to blow it.
