It's been 26years since this derby..I haven't seen it on espn or any other media outlet ever. I've waited 26yrs to be able to see this in a sorta "live" format. I could careless how old youtube is.
I was ten years old when this happened and Griffey was a God to me. 3 years before, i started collecting baseball cards and was in the hunt for the 89 upper deck card, back when you actually had to hunt for it not like nowadays when you can go on the internet, point , click , and buy whatever you needed, the 90's were a great time..
Bronx Bomber1983 Amen, man. The 90’s were great. Hunting for baseball cards, and actually having to walk into a store to buy your favorite player’s jerseys. Good times for sure.
93 Rangers was a great team. Young Pudge, Rafael Palmeiro, Jose Canseco, Kenny Rogers. Use to play 93 Tony Larusso Baseball for sega one of the best Baseball games of all time, before it’s time with Ai and franchise. Rangers and Oakland As was the squad.
0:45 Joe Morgan with a solid prediction right there. By the late 90's I'd say it came true. Sucks that he got overshadowed by a bunch of cheaters when he was putting together a couple of the greatest seasons of all-time in 1997 and 1998. Sucks even more that the injuries halted his record-breaking numbers. But most of all, it's just too bad that the man never got a world series ring. With that loaded Mariners team in the late 90's, I still can't figure out how they didn't win more often.
Unfortunately, no. There were only highlights of the 1992 and 1992 derbies, then a pre-recorded, edited showing of the 1993 derby, of which this video has portions, then ESPN finally aired it live yearly from 1994 onward.
All natural Mr. in 93 he was good , 96-97-98 is when all the blah,blah,blah Canseco started but 93 Juan Igor Gonzalez was still a babe maybe 22 or 23 years old. very humble guy.
It's a completely different type of competition now. Back then, the hitters had to be VERY selective because they were only given 10 outs. You basically had...at the very least...10 swings. At best, 10 swings. Now, it's a free-for-all where it's about swinging as frequently as possible hitting as many hrs as possible. If the setup were the same during this era, the results would be similar and may have even been better.
