Truly sad. As a Yankees fan I LOVED Robbie Cano, especially since he was a new spark on that aging team. It’s upsetting how he fumbled all of that…and for what reason? He’d have gone down as the best 2nd baseman of his generation without juicing. Great vid man. Keep it up.

Dude, as a fellow DOMINICAN you don't know how proud i was. This guy could've been amongst the greatest yankees in history, hell after we won the world series in 09 i thought that it was the beginning of a dynasty and his rise to yankee immortality into monument park.

I'm happy I was part of this. The vid turned out great!

Don Mattingly was basically my favorite player as a kid and I saw Cano as the second coming of Mattingly. Hit the ball with authority wherever it was pitched, sprayed the ball around, had plenty of power but wasn't a power hitter, and of course, just flawless in the field. Smooth and just preternaturally confident out there. It was incredible to watch him develop and blossom. One of the sweetest swings you'll ever see. And those hands. My God, what quick hands. And he was one of the best defensive players I've ever seen. If the ball was hit anywhere even remotely in his vicinity he was going to convert it to an out. So smooth and so reliable. God that man could play baseball.

One thing I want to point out is the excellent musical choices you used in the different chapters of the video. as always good stuff

As a lifelong Yankees fan, Donnie Baseball and Robinson Cano had the sweetest swings I've ever seen.

Huge Mariners fan, watching him and Nellie was so electric and a nice change of pace from some of the listless teams I cheered on (was born in ‘99, was barely old enough to remember the Bedard trade, kill me please) and it was heartbreaking to see his decline. Always thankful that I got to see that sweet swing in person.

He’s still my favorite 2nd baseman ever, he was an absolute gem in his prime

Robinson Cano made me fall in love with the game of baseball, and it’s sad to see his career go that way :(

the cano era for the mariners was the most significant throughout my childhood. But there were at least three or four different instances which lead me to believe robinson cano hated me. once i was at spring training with a friend and he signed an autograph for every kid but me, once he was throwing balls into the stands, looked right at me, then moved away, and again i was just next to someone who got his signature. of course, i know this has nothing to do with me, and yet i cant shake the feeling that this pro baseball player hated the 12 year old version of me.

Just love the word smooth when describing robbie. Dude had it all and when he was on the padres this year I was pumped. And we know how that worked out

One of the sadder stories about a generational talent in my opinion. I can only imagine the pressure he felt to maintain excellence into his older age with milestones on the horizon and a big contract to live up to.

Your passion comes thru the screen bro. Amazing work. Keep it up.

Now my favorite baseball channel. Thank you for the hard work, cheers 🍻🍻

I loved when you talked about the Josh Hamilton comparison. Hamilton was my favorite player as a kid, and this gave me SO MUCH nostalgia. I was there when the Rangers beat the Yanks in game 6, and I’ll never forget that moment.

The Cano Jeter long toss omg bringing back great memories. Keep up the great videos champ!!

Channel is way underrated bro! For someone of your age putting out this kind of quality documentary style video. Hat off to you man. I remeber growing up watching Cano rise up to be one of the key Yankees on the roster. Truly were some great times!

Love the video. Don’t even watch baseball, but you make it so interesting and engaging. Keep up the great work!

Just randomly came across this video and gotta give you kudos. Very well done and I had to watch the whole thing. Baseball = Life

I love the channel, surprised it isn't more subbed to. Thanks for the content!

In my opinion, one of the most entertaining baseball players ever. So sad to not see him join other dominican heroes in cooperstown.

As a die hard Yankee fan born in 94, and as a second baseman myself, Cano was my baseball idol. So sad to think about his career. This video was awesome!! Keep up the good work!!

what an amazing video really excited to see this channel grow

Just found your channel. Your videos are amazing breakdowns.

Legendary. Career and video. Subscribed.

That montage was ridiculously well edited, you have awesome talent

Yoo idk where this channel came from, but thank you for the content. Baseball mini docs are incredible and there’s only like 3 channels that do it well

Great commentary, keep up the good work!

I just found your channel today and already watched 3 videos Great Stuff

Really solid video; I’m a lifelong Yankees fan and Cano has always been one of my personal favorite players since he came up. To be honest, I watched Cano for years in New York and the way he made certain difficult plays seem so nonchalant and easy was amazing to see and he’s a HOF player in my mind regardless of the failed PED tests. The man was a fantastic baseball player who -for a few years- was a Top 10 player in the game, in my opinion. Fantastic defensive player with a really solid arm and his swing became taylor made for the new Yankee Stadium. He was one of my favorite players to watch for years and I was really ticked off when the Yankees didn’t resign him; but I didn’t blame him at all for taking the extra money. Sadly, I knew going to Seattle and signing a 10 year contract there was going to end badly for him & his career (he should have just stayed with the Yankees but Arods contract situation made them gun shy-reasonably so-to sign another 30 year old player to such a long deal). Great player and a HOF player regardless of the fact that the last few years of his career have been very forgettable. Still wear my Robby Cano Yankees shirt with pride!!

First of all great vid. This vid has come up on my feed before, and as a dominican 🇩🇴 and a Robie fan, it pains me just to see it. I still remember seatin at a car dealership waiting for an oil change when I saw the news on my phone. My son (12 at the time and still wears #22) I just handed him the phone... I just couldn't even tell him that Robie texted +. It still hurts. He was my fav player after Pedro Martinez.

Keep making these videos, very entertaining man

Love how you did this vid!!!!

Great vid , kid! I wondered what happened to Robinson. I'll tune in for more baseball content

Our guys 👑

Man, Josh Hamilton was a ton of fun to watch…was lucky to see him live a few times as a kid.

Awesome production value on this!

Hey great video! Loved watching him and his buttery swing so much. These other guys in the comments are putting it a little too harshly, while the talking might be fast it wasn't so bad you had to turn it off, though pacing as a whole was a bit fast. People can't expect perfection from someone who's only been doing this for a year now. If you see this, know that I loved the vid, and I'm excited to see your growth in the future 🥂

You my friend are a great story teller (subbed)

This video was great man

Nice vid - I dig your style - props

Great video just subscribed 💯💯💪🏾

Wow, this was my guy too. First game was 2006 & i was also there at the final game at Yankee stadium. Glad i found this channel.

You do good work kid. Instantly subscribed

This was a really, really well done video.

Great vid ! As a Dominican and Yankee fan he was definitely one of my idols

From what I remember, he never liked being called "Robbie" because it took away from being named after Jackie Robinson.

Im a mariners fan who got into baseball because of the 2015 mariners when they were down 12-2 against the padres they won and cano became my favorite player and it hurt me when he got busted twice for PED

Great video man, Cano was one of my favorite players because of the swing until he got caught with PEDS and his value and reputation went down hill. Loved the old skool J Cole music montage! 💯

Man, as a Mariners fan, his signing was a double edged sword. The 2016 Mariners deserved to reach the playoffs, they could mash but just fumbled games in critical times. The 5 years we had Cano, he was great and the fan base was expecting a slow decline in his remaining years. It ended worse for him and it was such a huge hit having to sacrifice Diaz to get out from under most of his remaining contract where if we didn't have him bleeding the cash and still had Diaz as he was and is, we could have got an absolute haul for him if he still needed to be traded. It really set our team back and I'm glad Jerry is using that experience now and not going crazy, knowing it's likely the back end of these monster contracts become a cancer.

Awesome video, thanks

1 of my favorite players all time. Extremely sad to see him go down that way. Still a World Champion tho!

That DR independence song was a nice touch. Overall a great video!

i loved this video cano was by far my favorite player as a kid i remember him breaking into the league and was devestated when he went to seattle and i also didnt believe it when he first tested positive. he will always be my favorite player but sad to see how it ended

Great narrative! This channel is going places!

robbie was my favorite player for a decent stretch, i even used his spalding glove throughout high school and my one year playing in college. sad to see how he went out, still one of the smoothest players to ever touch the field, bat or glove.

I got to watch an April game in the House that Ruth Built in 2008. I got to watch the Core Four play, and I remember watching them along with Robbie and A Rod constantly. So much I don’t really remember who we actually played, I kept my eyes glued to those 6 whenever they were on the field.

This is why this channel is about to become my top Yankees and just baseball channel overall,but i fell the same way about some of these players like Cano no matter what mistakes they made they still human being just trying to be they best.

This was really good.

2009 was a magical year to be a Yankees fan

Great video!

That November 4th game in 2009. That was my 21st birthday. I remember having a beer of my grandpa. We hugged and just smiled and happiness. Always remember that day. rip gpa.

man! good job here bro! you forced my hand to subscribe.

that edit on the Harlem river is sick!

Very well made and interesting video

Music selection also perfect.

You deserve way more views for this god damn

Great vid. Even as a Mets fan, you had to respect Robinson Cano in his heyday with the Yankees. Another sign of Cano’s fall from grace; when he signed with the Mets, they gave him #24, which had been out of circulation since Willie Mays retired in 1973. After he was released, the Mets announced they were retiring 24 for Mays. I do not think that is a coincidence.

Great vid man

Excellent job 👌

As a cubs fan, who is 30 years old and also fell in love with baseball around 2003, so just about 3-4 years before you, and stayed that way since, I thought Robbie was and still is the shit. One of the best 2nd basemen behind grace and chase and sanberg, and I learned about his decline more, unfortunately. Great video.

I felt that when you said your dad pointed out him and jeter playing long toss bc EVERYTIME we went my dad did the same haha great memory

I fell in love with baseball back in 81. I could talk about the game 24/7

as a yankee fan cano was like a light at the end of the tunnel, think mattingly during the awful 80s and early 90s, was a joy to watch, when he decided it was seattle it was like "hate to lose him but he got the bag." then watching him get suspended, not once but twice, going to the minors trying to recapture the fomrer glory it was almost sad, like watching a boxer who is punch drunk taking fight after fight looking for that one final chance at glory.

Bro as an El Paso native I clicked because of the jersey lol, great content man keep it up!

As a kid I was a 3rd baseman and I always tried to imitate Jeter's fielding and a combination of Arod and Cano's swing. I remember being always glued to ESPN watching them break down each swing so I could then try it at practice.

Can’t wait for part II that chronicles his rise and fall in Atlanta.

I just found your channel and I can say this is a top 10 best Yankees channel i have watched.i always wonder if Cano would of had a different path if he didn’t choose money over pride but hey the is the past and today we have clinch a ticket to Houston the cheaters house

One of the best swings in the game. Loved Robbie Cano made me want to be a second baseman.

The day it was announced that he was leaving NYY, it was like when somebody break up with you. I stopped caring about him as a player and sometimes asked myself whatever happened to him. Cool video, but that Spongebob jersey was dope.

That was the best transition i have ever seen

Just wrapped up the 2nd video of yours I've watched. Put together very well. As much as I appreciate your choice of music used in this video in the future please dont put in copyright music so that you can make your money! Looking forward to more videos

The quality of this video 👌🏼

Im a Mets fan and I love Cano. Not for his time with the Mets but for his time with the Yanks. I know how odd that sounds but I only hate teams in the NL East. What he did for the city of New York should never be forgotten.

Love the Blow Up/ Cole🔥🔥🔥

thats cool you had a player like Cano to look up to while you were in little league.... personally, i had Ken Griffey Jr to look up to. I was fortunate to have a front seat to his best seasons growing up in the Seattle area.

I don’t even really like baseball that much, but this video was so well made!

Well done

The cut with the j cole was soooo fire 😭🔥

Glad you are talking about the Padres legend himself.

As a Mariner fan who was over the moon when he signed with us, and who ate up his buttery swing and a few plus years of dependable play, I will always remember him as the player who abandoned the team when we needed him most. We had a dog in that fight that year. His first suspension could not have come at a worse time. One of Jerry Dipoto's best moves- was finding a way to get out from under that massive contract. That move alone has helped us move to the next era so much sooner than later... Even if Kelenic doesn't pan out and even though I loved Diaz dearly- all worth it.

Good job on the video

You are a true Baseball fan my friend.

That's 2 Time World Series Champ and forever Giant Joaquín Arias to you. (Plus a nice play on the last out of a perfect game)

Great video. Cano made every play look like a walk in the park. Always will be my favorite 2nd baseman. Go Yankees

Love the video one of my fav Yankees of all time and the ending was truly real as it would've been better if he gone out clean inside trying to use PEDs to regain his former self. Ill remember him in the early 2010s

Ill always be a yankees fan but i was always a Chase Utley guy. My dad used to argue with me a ton about how “Cano sweeps Utley”. Find it funny how both their legacies are now (As a side note): my personal experience with baseball is pretty simmilar to yours. I got interested around 2008-2009 and, although i was a yankees fan, something about that phillies team always stood out to me how the yankees stood out to you. They just seemed so great (even though they ended up losing to the ‘09 yanks lmao) Great video man

I was a big a rod and jeter fan and It wasn’t until him and his dad won the derby that I started really liking this guy and realized he’s now the best player on the Yankees. Hope you figure things out Robbie and can go out on top!

Watching this video the day before of achieving my dream of watching Robinson Cano play un person, albeit not in MLB but in the Serie del Caribe playing for the Tigres del Licey ( Sort of the World Series of the Caribbean Winter League's World Series but with multiple teams)
