MLB | 10 Greatest World Series Moments of the 21st Century 

EXE-Edits I would replace #7 at #5. But it’s good that both Astros moments are on here.

KROCKOHOLICSHTOWN Yeah I agree

EXE-Edits I do have a problem with your list. Only one of these was actaully a moment. (Red Sox reverse Curse) so the title is extremely misleading. Another thing is I don't think the Dye single has any buisness on this list.

Great list, awesomely edited as always!

What about utley s fake out then throw home to nab the runner in the suspended game 5 of the ‘08 ws?

isn't it? it looks like ancient history looking back at it but somehow, it feels like it was not too long ago.

Eh it's more just that it doesn't always transfer well to digital youtube platform. It looked better on TV's back then

@MANCHESTER UNITED tha fuck does that have to do with this conversation? Fuck some people have zero social skills.

@@Indigenous_Rambo its a bot but an annoying as fuck one

@M ok

Mark Schofield they have to make an actual movie about that

Mark Schofield And Freese is retired.

Hey do you think us Cubs can get Dexter Fowler back thanks

Jeffrey Otte-Rash no I don't think we want that but you can have carpenter for bryant that would be cool

MANCHESTER UNITED 7 billion people on this planet we call earth, and not one asked.

It was awesome, not great.

Noah Schafer no

@@jordanschwarzlose9218 What do you mean not great? Down to their last strike twice, down a run or two in the game late. That game, was a great. David freese tying it and then winning it, great moments

@@ryanrampage8266 bro he is saying its amazing giving it more then just great it was amazing a miracle

Baseball Authority ? No he said it was awesome. Not amazing. Great and awesome are two different things. That game, that series, was great. No doubt about that. Witnessing a no no or perfect game is awesome. But a post season game like game 6? That’s great

Yes it was hard but I least I can say it was Bumgardner who done it can't help but respect man

More realistically, if Gordon was Billy Hamilton, he would have struck out.

"We will see you tomorrow night" Like Father Like Son on that call

MASSIVE MEATY KOCK RAMMED INTO A BUT WHOLE

Well, if I had to broadcast a game with Tim McCarver, I wouldn't have exactly been chomping at the bit to get in the booth, either.

the same could be said about the fans weirdly enough.

@@ahoneybee823 remember mccarver n morgan? *shudder*

He could have sounded way more excited too in 2011. But his vocal chords were injured at the time. If you listen closely you can still hear him excited and some voice cracks in there. So I think this could have been the best of Joe Bucks broadcasting.

I'm so happy that NY lost this series in 01. Inside job

ENORNOUS KOCK WHIPPED OUT ON A SCHOOL BUS

Only thing that would make that games better if it was a game 7

@@jenniferyanik9146 Very true! Game seven was honestly kind of boring. Cardinals locked it up early and Texas was clearly deflated.

And if Freese hadn’t done his magic in that game, but cards won another way Allen Craig would’ve got MVP. Freese basically took the MVP after his game 6 magic.

Mike Mallery I was 15 at the time and we couldn’t afford tickets that night so we went to a hotel which was hosting the game man I was so pumped after seeing freeze hit that home run people were jumping and dancing the whole night. Remember not even going to bed till 3 AM what a night

I was at Game 6 and it nearly put me into a death spiral ;)

Mike Mallery especially with freeze being from St.Louis. Adds so much more to the legend

But he doesn't even show them winning it the next night!

And sure Arlington was wailing in torment after that Game 6 was over.

Remember watching that Game 7 in 2001. What made that bottom of the 9th D-Backs comeback epic was that they pulled it off against the ABSOLUTE BEST IN THE GAME at that time, Mariano Fuckin' Rivera!! And 2001 was Rivera in his PRIME. And that was one of the rare times that a team beat Rivera in a playoff game. Not really beat the Yankees, but BEAT RIVERA.

Believe it or not, even as a lifelong Yankee fan, it was my favorite series growing up as well. The end of it was absolutely devastating for me, of course. But those two magical moments in games 4 and 5 in New York... Tino hitting a game-tying 2-run HR with the Yankees down to their last out in a must-win game (for all intents and purposes, seeing as how Johnson and Schilling would be back in games 6 and 7 in Arizona); and then Brosius accomplishing literally the exact same feat of desperation *the very next night.* (Made even more amazing by the fact that those HRs merely tied each game, and they managed to win each in extra innings.) Even though they still lost in the end, those two baseball moments will forever mean the most to me. Really, that 2011 Cardinals game 6 was on the same level - the only difference was that the Cards successfully won their series in the end, and so that rightly sits at number 1, objectively speaking.

sameeee the yankees had won enough it was time for a new champ :)

I dont remember the 9th starting 2-1 for the Yankees until seeing this. Gives it that much more weight! Yankees were 2 outs from grabbing their 4th straight World Series Title

Bottom of the 9th and they put in mariano rivera my heart sank until mark grace hit a single. Then I started thinking they might just win this.

That Sale one didn’t age well…

I can't imagine the horror you must have experienced seeing Davis hit that ball out thinking you were just 4 outs from breaking the curse then thinking it was impossibly out of reach because that crowd was all into it. You had blown a 6-1 lead, you had taken your excellent starter out early, your over-the-hill catcher gave up 2 runs on one wild pitch off the dome, you had a closer being overworked who was now being asked to pitch the 9th when he was likely demoralized and out of gas. Everything was going wrong and yet, you still won and got to break the curse anyway. Funny thing about those curses it seems, whether it's the Red Sox, the Cavaliers or the Cubs, the teams that finally break them always manage to do it in the most epic ways possible.

I was in high school watching with my father and he pissed me off when Davis tied it up. He started giving up and resorting back to the no hope and that turned into tons of tears just an inning later

Cardinals are better

that game 5 would really piss me off if i was a dodgers fan. the dodgers scored 12 in houston and lost probably due to cheating. should’ve been 3-2 dodgers headed back to la

What are the clear examples that they are cheating? I know they did, but show me in the video where it SHOWS them cheating.

You know if the Dodgers win this series and the Astros do to it will be the greatest rematch in the history of sports and I honestly hope the astros win it even if I am a huge Glasnow fan

@@Meerkat2112 Are you serious ? Go do some research and look for the videos they’re all Over the internet. And how In the hell did you find out they cheated then ?

@@zackmckinley3750 not to mention Clayton Kershaw, who has arguably the best off speed pitches in the game, threw 57 off speed pitches in game 5. Not a single one got a swing and a miss. I’d rather have faced a team on roids than a team who knew what was coming.

Why?

@@kylem2693 the bang bang the buzz buzz you know.

@@kylem2693 because they suck and cheated. Not welcomed in baseball.

How come? They’re world champions

Unfortunately the league said they won’t change the past

goldy Kid, no. Just stop.

@@jordanschwarzlose9218 It's a matter of personal opinion. I understand if you prefer 2017 Game 5, 1993 Game 6, 1991 Game 7, etc. These are just my favorites due to personal experiences I've been in as a Cardinals fan living in Chicago.

@@quinnkonneman Now we can add game 7 2019 World Series to the list.

kierston johnson Last season’s game 7 was very good, but I wouldn’t say it’s near top 5 all-time.

@@quinnkonneman I respect your opinion, but I meant that game 7 of this year's World Series should be in the video in general.

Dolores Flores greatest comment

Thanks

What you guys dont realize is that you still have to hit the pitch you know is coming while you do know what pitch it is you still have to try to catch up said 100 mph heater get the sweet spot of the bat onto a curve ball that has 18 inches of break

@@adrianvidal726 not only that, but the Dodgers had their own shenanigans going on too.

The examples he used don’t matter since they happened at Dodger Stadium. The Astros only cheated at Minute Maid Park.

@@Gemnist98 Game 5 was at Minute Maid and that's on here.

Perfect besides the stros

Yeah the 2011 world series was amazing .

I watched game 6 on my 14 hour road trip to Colorado about a month ago. It was fucking insane to go back to that game since I was only 5 when the game happened. Still waiting for another win though. Hopefully with this current streak the Cards have we can push for it but San Francisco and the Dodgers look crazy good

Lucky man

Me too

One curse (Cubs) was broken, the other (Indians) still remains intact. At least Cleveland can thank LeBron for breaking the Cavs's curse that year, 2016.

You cried when you won. Now imagine me as an Indians fan

@@BartoloVids Reverse crying

rjm22nd not what i was looking for but sure

this dude doesnt know baseball cuz he didnt put this game in the video

Game 3 was good too, didn't it go 14 innings or something

that sounds amazing

As an Astros fan, that 2011 WS is still my favorite. 2017 was great and all but 2001 and 2011 man…

I think it should be #2 to cubs world series cuz like that's 108 years I mean how fucking pathetic is your franchise

@@therealgamerv8970 take some research tho on how the cards even had gotten to the World Series

Cubs should be number cause it wast the 2016 world series was the best of all time

It deserves it lol

Right, not exactly the way they wanted. At least LeBron led the Cavs to the NBA title that year (2016) by breaking the Curse of the MJ-bino. But the Indians curse remains safely intact.

@@rjm22nd Nothing will ever make up for the Browns lol.

If not for lebron Cleveland has the most sports failures in one year than any other

The Curse of Rocky Colavito is alive and well. Still have nightmares of Joe Buck basically performing fellatio on Kyle Schwarber throughout the entirety of the Series... in all honesty though... the '16 World Series is still gonna go down as one of the greatest ever. Didn't end how we Indians fans had hoped (and losing the 3rd that I've seen us make in my life just plain hurt) but few will ever match the drama and back story.

#8 should definitely be higher in the list. Borderline suicide, risk-wise.

Maybe 2022 will be our year. Aaron Judge for MVP. Hoping he hits #62 tomorrow.

@@Karthos1000 7 games left…no way he won’t do it. Once done, he will be the TRUE HR KING, cause the other 3 dummies were either caught or admitted to steroids for their hood years. Can’t wait for this to happen…and it WILL!

I agree that the walk-off obstruction should be on here

E K haha this game is tiiieed

He was battling vocal cord paralysis throughout that year, which hurt the ability to raise his voice. He described it in full detail in his memoir, a really good read by the way.

Well, it's because of that drinking game... every time he says "BACK AT THE WALL," he has to take a shot. :D

I think he had a throat issue in 2011 or something

Yes he’s been great 2018 and 2017

I, as a lifetime cardinals fan, speak for all cards fans who have ever lived bestow the authority upon me to revoke your fan card and banish you from Busch Stadium.

Okay no

Cardinals deserve #1 that’s why the creator likes the cardinals more

That game 6 was legendary

Amen to that. I'm a lifelong Yankee fan, and even though the Yankees lost it in the end, that series contains my two all-time favorite baseball moments. The two game-tying 2-run HRs by Tino and Brosius on consecutive nights, each when down to their last out in games that they realistically had to win, were straight up magical and will always stay with me.

For many years that was just typical Cards, suck in August get hot in September lol.

I remember wanting to see that game, missing it due to work (gotta love shift work) , being unable to record it, and only just now, 4 and a half years later, have I got to see any of the clinic he put on in that game.

Breanna Leigh I had a similar situation. I was swimming at a local YMCA. I happened to have had swimming on that night, and my dad did not let me stay and watch. I’m still sad that I missed one of the best World Series performances ever. To this day I’m still very salty about it.

mr_scooter_ there’s been better

Yes I'm a Royals fan but he should be #3 or higher

I still don't know why Cruz wasn't playing no doubles.

Go cards baby

oh yes me too, Cruz needed to be playing no doubles, and feliz needed to relax, he was getting over anxious

drewbaby299 I think the reason why is because Berkmans run didn’t matter at the time like people say but that’s my opinion but I wanted the rangers to win and it unfortunately didn’t happen. Hopefully they’ll have a strong second half this year but at this point they might be sellers and losing quite a lot out of the break

As a Diamondbacks fan I was rooting for Kansas City. What Bumgardner did in the final game was superhuman.

Giants are never gonna get to the postseason again

@@hamborger2503 idk about that

GO SF🧡🖤! Nice job Bumgarner

The Anti-Kershaw.

Nah, it wasn't a world series winning game for any of the two teams

ThatMindfields it kind of was. Whoever won that game was going to win the World Series and both teams knew it. That’s why it was such a good game because both teams needed to win that game

@@sta4ever338 Not true. The Dodgers knew they had a game 7 at home. After winning game 6, the Dodgers were confident about game 7

Jamar Leonard nonetheless is was a pivotal game

You mean the cheating Astros should be higher up? Nah

As a sox fan, total opposite reaction to the same moment. Don't get me started about the Boone HR in 03 though. Probably the most painful moment of my entire childhood.

Being that 2 of the 4 Series the Sox lost in between '18 and '04 were vs the Cards, it seems only fitting that their first Series win since '18 was vs St Louis(also the NL team with the most titles). And even more fitting that the last out was made by the player wearing #3(Ruth's #).

Don’t forget 2013 when Ortiz was batting like .800 in the postseason, my poor cards didn’t stand a chance.

Then you’re one of the few classy Astros fans

And to think I supported them sometimes.... I’m a red Sox fan and I would have preferred the Yankees winning over those scumbags.

I respect that big time

Respect

😂

Poopy head

Had to cheat for that, keep seething

Nic B. Lmao I like the part when the dodgers actually won! Because they cheated

@@bunswtf393 Boston beat them in 2018 though

MLB 2703 apparently they cheated too but idk. The internet

Iron Fossil he’s a Cardinal fan

It was also the phrase his dad, Jack Buck, used when Kirby Puckett hit the GW home run in Game Six of the 1991 WS (to the benefit of those that thought it was an original call by Joe). A little bit of a son honoring his father.

Unless you're any other team fan the 2017 was awful. No one agrees that they deserved that win

Even Dodger fans should enjoy it. That was such a remarkable World Series and definitely one of the bests in my lifetime

@@Chuylymon Maybe they didn’t but you can’t say that you weren’t on the edge of your seat that whole World Series. Even though they cheated, it was still such a memorable WS

Not the ones in dodger stadium

confirmation bias.

reach

i don’t think the astros used whistling in game 5 bcs the fans would make it hard to hear anything from the dugout i think but we do know they used cans that year

BluePhoenix Films I hate it. 😒

@@joshkots cards definitely deserve to be up there for that

2-2, 2 outs , bottom of the 9th inning, bases loaded in Game 7 of the World Series... I mean c'mon it's kid moment we live in, our backyards

Erik Faught Jr. It was actually one out but still everybody’s dreams

Against Mo Rivera of all people

Yep.

Hey at least you all got to the top in 2020 (yes it’s legit too). That NLCS against the Braves was a rollercoaster of a ride!

Even if it's tainted

As long as the brew crew stays underneath my Cards all is well lol.

Literally two strikes away. My heart went out to them.

​@@aggressiveattitudeera887actually both times it was one strike away

Seems that no one gets it.. It was just difficult to put in play, much less to take it out the circle for a double..

And then Rivera became almost untouchable after that…

No not even a close one to David Freese and I understand he put up some superhuman type crap that game but David Freese earns number 1

Cardinals are better

Sorry man but you're nuts.

Joe RK For real, the only thing I even remember from that series is the Podsednik walk off. Certainly not a 6th inning one run single. Only Sox fans remember that.

Well, the White Sox broke their "curse" as well, one that was even longer than the Red Sox's "curse."

Cause the Sox broke their curse and it was a big moment when Dye hit the winning single plus since then, the Sox have really struggled to win. Hopefully they’ll be back within the next couple of years

It was their first World Series win since 1917. That's how.

It's ok to be on the list but not at #5. Really kinda anticlimactic

bandwagon '04 eagles fan yknow it dawg 👌

Astros were incredible, nothing the Dodgers could do, they played like a team possessed all series.

Go fuck yourself

bandwagon '04 eagles fan imagine thinking your cool, because of a comment you posted on youtube

Blake Hentrup imagine getting mad, over a comment on youtube

And that is the only place in the whole world you will ever see that t shirt😂😂😂😂😂

They cheated in Dodger Stadium too, huh?

From a history standpoint...2 and 3 are better moments. But...from just a pure best game ever moment at the time...Freese and the Cardinals had it all. Down to their last strike twice....Rangers thought they had it.....the improbable triple.....Hamilton's dagger....was it Pujols' last AB as a Cardinal....the home crowd....and the walk off itself....No curse involved and they were not big media darlings, no story just baseball at its highest level with the 2 best competing for a ring.

@@twalker191 and when you remember that the cardinals were 10 games back of the wildcard coming into September, and they needed the be the best team in baseball and the braves to be the worst to have a chance at the postseason... it makes the game so much better!

That was the fun part

Even as a Cub fan, I agree that the 2005 Sox were a brilliant, overlooked team. And the fact that they ended an 88-year drought is always forgotten. Many purists probably still hold 1919 against the franchise.

Depends on teams and who’s playing. I was at the Cards vs Braves Saturday evening, and the stands were nearly full.
