It's okay to shed a few tears. Twitter | / exeeditsmlb Instagram | / exeedits Facebook | / exeedits * I do not own any of the clips that I upload. All clips belong to Major League Baseball.
Why does the team you’re a fan of matter? Of course a guy having his career and livelihood derailed by injuries is bad lol. Petty rival-ships are an afterthought.
@@oszeek Because some people will put their team before other humans. If the same thing happened to, let's say, David Ortiz or Derek Jeter, some Yankee fans and some Red Sox fans would celebrate the injury and say good riddance. There's probably some Cardinal fans that feel that was about Prince too, but that's why. Not every human such as you or I care about another human before their sports team.
@@aintnoway686 Wiki says he's got C4-C5 herniated disks, which I assume comes from trauma or injury. You could probably do more research to find out what its effects are, I'm too lazy to.
I remember being at David Ortiz’s last game. Everybody was refusing to leave until he came out. It took a good twenty minutes, but it was worth the wait.
I feel like the commentators ruined it as well. Be quiet for a gd moment, let us absorb the atmosphere of the situation. I just want to feel the enormous amount of emotions being broadcast in the stadium. I don't need the play by play of which way he pointed his damn hat.
I must've watched the clip of Dee Gordon's homerun at least 30 times and it STILL makes me tear up. As a Mets fan, that was one game I didn't mind losing. RIP Jose
Nobody is giving it up for Colon, gave him a tasty meatball right down the middle for him. Colon's 4s FB is beyond sub-par, hes a 2s FB pitcher, strange nobody points that out.
For those of you who might not know, Wilmer Flores was never traded, the deal fell apart the same night as that game, and two days later Wilmer hit a wall off HR at their home stadium... one of the best Mets stories out there
I was there when Mo pitched his final game at Yankee Stadium. I was 16. I bawled like a baby in the nose bleeds. Now I'm going to Cooperstown in July to watch him be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Jonathan Doyle Mariano's the first-ever unanimous election, beating out the 99.32% 1987's #1 overall pick Ken Griffey Junior got in his own first year in 2016; the other player elected in '16 was a 62nd rounder from the draft the year after Junior's (Mike Piazza, in his fourth year)
A case could be made that Mo was the greatest pitcher of all time. He only had one pitch and was virtually untouchable. Nobody wanted to face him. I think there he gave up more broken bat hits than solid hits.
I became a Facebook friend with his Dad, when my wife Katheryn was fighting familial ALS. Katheryn passed away July 20, 2019. I'm a sports official in Bakersfield, California football, basketball, and baseball/softball. It was tough to keep going.
Vin Scully's last game was a Giants-Dodgers game in SF. There was not an iota of hate or disrespect or rivalry that day. As a giants fan i wouldn't have had it any other way. I cried at his sign off, and feel the weight of life's weird twisted poetry as he died today while the dodgers played the giants in SF on the day of his death. "May God give you for every storm, a rainbow. For every tear, a smile. For every care a promise, and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life seems, a faithful friend to share. For every sigh, a sweet song, and an answer for each prayer"
God damnit Ortiz and Prince. Why did have to do me like that😭😭 As a fellow pitcher, much love and respect for Mariano Rivera. I was so sad to see him go
Ramen Noodles was never proven, just suspected. If that’s the case, Jeff bagwell would have never been inducted into the hall. Not everyone on the Mitchell report was proven guilty of ped’s. And what does that have to do with what happened to him recently? You wish that on someone? If so, you need to re evaluate your life bro.
The Yankees got special permission from MLB to pull Rivera that way instead of the usual method of the field manager (at that point Joe Girardi); Rivera was retiring at the end of that year, having added it after losing his originally-planned retirement the year prior due to a knee injury before a game in KC.
15:03 Ortiz knew that was the end of his career. 40 years old, struggled during the season, and now that. He knew that was it. edit: Guys, actually check the timestamp lol. I’m talking about the pitcher Ramon Ortiz, not David.
I wouldn’t say he struggled that season at all. He had a phenomenal final season and was still playing prime ball. He announced at the beginning of that season that he was retiring. Hell, he stole a base in the opening series.
Bartolo Colon is one of the most respectable men in the league. He left that fastball up, belt high, 85 mph on purpose. He knew what he was doing with that pitch. I respect that man for that, he understood what that meant to the Marlins. RIP Jose Fernandez
God I would have hated seeing my Reds get blanked in the playoffs to end this...but Roy Halladay. I loved watching that guy pitch. RIP and welcome to the Hall of Fame, brother.
Honestly the one that hit me here the hardest was Ramon Ortiz. I can't imagine what it must be like knowing you threw your last pitch in that situation.
Dee Gordon, a switch-hitter, took the first pitch of his AB from the right side (Jose's hitting side) before switching to his preferred anti-righty left side and launching the third pitch out; that game was the only known time outside of Jackie Robinson Day that a team had everyone in the same number (in this case Jose's #16); a prior game against Atlanta was cancelled due to the news about Jose.
Derek Welsh before you call someone stupid maybe you should learn to read and actually understand what he’s talking about dumbass. Yeah the game was against the Mets but the game prior to that AGAINST THE BRAVES (which he was supposed to be starting) was cancelled.
Man the Ramón Ortiz one just kills my soul. Worst is knowing the dude would never play another major league game again. So much worse because he didn’t get nearly enough love :’(
@@Roak1 - All I am saying was he did it to himself. He is not a victim. His friends, family, and fans are the ones who got "robbed." Not to mention his buddies he took with him. He was a great player, but I cannot feel sorry for a man who killed himself.
@@GoatyHerps Ok you remorseless brat he may have been intoxicated and the situation may have been his fault but that is know way to respect a dead person
The death of Yordano Ventura will always get me. Many people hate him because of the fights he was in, but he was a very talented player that Kansas City will always remember as their Ace. He will never be forgotten by Kansas City, the Royals organization and the Royals fan base. I’m proud to say that I will always remember him and be a fan even though is not playing on the mound. RIP ACE. You’ll never be forgotten. Forever Royal
I cried uncontrollably when that happened. I cry every time I watch it. Truly that, more than almost anything in my life, gives me hope and inspires faith in some kind of God. If there's anything this video helps to inspire, it's that there is some deity that is a baseball fan
Living in Detroit my whole life and being a die-hard Tiger's fan I grew up watching Cecil Fielder and during batting practice at the old Tiger Stadium Prince would take batting practice with his dad and at 12 years old he was hitting the ball into the seats. So watching Prince having to retire brought tears to my eyes
Fun fact: Prince Fielder retired with 319 career homeruns. His dad, Cecil Fielder, retired with 319 homeruns. An incredible feat that we will never see again.
Prince himself wishes otherwise. Cecil Fielder may have been a great slugger, but he also beat his wife and son on the side, resulting in his eventual divorce. Not only that, but he had such a bad gambling addiction that he stole money from Prince’s initial Brewers contract in order to pay off some of his debts, causing Prince to cut ties with him for several years. That is why Prince is crying; because in his mind it was a realization he would always be compared to his father. I’m just glad that Prince has managed to find a support system in his own wife and kids.
Princes moment might’ve been the saddest thing I’ve seen. Loved him as a tiger. It’s a shame the bash bros never brought the title home but I love him nonetheless.
Being a baseball fan is somethin else. Watchin the Rivera clip brings a tear to me eye. Just seein the other team, all the fans, and even the police just showing their respect and love for the player, the game, and the city. Its really a beautiful sight.
I will remember when Ortiz came out for his curtain call. I was in my car listening it to on the radio. I was sad it was his last game, but happy to have seen his hits, his moments and his clutch moments. I was happy to have done it like my grandfather did years before me. On the radio and picturing it in my mind. To this day I can hear him when the Sox were not doing well he would say, “Ahh those bums.” Miss you puppa and Dad. Even though you are not here to enjoy these Boston sports moments with me, you are always in my heart and mind. I hated Mariano and Jeter because they were so damn good. Much respect.
I’m a cardinals fan and I remember when piscotty went to the As so he could be near his mom I got a piscotty Jersey after watching him hit that homerun
“Luis Valbuena sends everybody home happy.” Damn. I didn’t see the Taveras/Valbuena/Ventura/Doc clips coming. You always pump out amazing videos but this one stands out. Well done.
@@notfrm2006 The "curse of The Bambino". After trading away baseball's most iconic player of all time (and arguably the best baseball player ever), Babe (nicknamed "The Bambino") Ruth, they went on to never win another world series for 86 years, finally ending in 2004. Before that trade happened they were one of, if not the, best team(s) in all of baseball, having something like 5 world series titles up to that point in time, in a sport that had only been around for about forty years. After the trade, the team they sold Ruth to, the New York Yankees, became world-beaters, going on to win several world series with their new all-star player. What would have already been a great rivalry between two big city teams in the same division (Boston and New York) was fueled to unmatched levels across all of baseball because of that long-lasting superstition and the drastic reversal of fortune that seemed to come out of it. Winning that first world series after trading away Ruth in 2004 must have felt like having an 800 pound gorilla lifted off of their shoulders (thanks in part to all the media coverage and interviews referencing that supposed curse). I imagine that it was a high that a lot of us can't relate with.
I remember crying the whole ride home from my baseball practice when David Ortiz retired. That man was such an inspiration to me when I was young and even to this day. Everything he’s done for the city of Boston and people all over. Forever a Red Sox and MLB legend
Joseph Twarog what did you gain out of saying that? you’re not helping anyone, nor are you making anything better. get off the internet if you can’t handle being able to comment on videos.
I had the joy to watch him play in Miller Park. Even then, he brought such intentional emotion to a team that desperately needed it. With a wild card year aside, in the context of too many losses, he was still a joy to watch. Baseball is magic, and we are lucky enough to have very good magicians playing today. But Price was also an artist. We have too few of these playing. Unfortunately, he didn’t enjoy the strong lineup and support the Brewers have now
He year(2010) Roy halladay threw a no hitter, he did so in a playoff game. It was the series before the phillies faced the giants. I got mad respect for Roy! RIP Doc Halladay
Piscotty hitting that HR gets me. That was for his mom, and he smiles the way he should. He was remembering his mother, not mourning her when he crossed home plate. Atta boy.
I remember waiting with my stepdad, a lifelong, diehard Red Sox fan, and watching Big Papi coming out after his last game, and there, in the tears and the overwhelming emotion was when I really learned what baseball was all about.
Man, as a baseball fan in general that should get you. I'm a Rangers fan and even after many first round exits because of the Yanks, I teared up watching Mo get pulled from that Yankees game. It's hard to watch people quit doing what the love.
Pttttp...that niggas stats was going down hill anyway...later revealed the Rangers was gonna release him anyway...funny how its never stated exactly why he had to have 2 neck surgerys with in a 3 yr time span...a bit odd if ya ask me...😒
@@josephtwarog9604 please just shut up. Do you have no sense of shame or remorse. His career ended too short and you're here spewing bs about him. Learn some respect and shut your mouth.
I remember Oscar taveras played when I was in 3rd grade, and my dad told me he was a really great player! Just makes me sad when you know he could have been a great player!
