The reaction directly outside of Wrigley Field when David Bode hit his insane walk off Grand Slam! Being 3 runs and down to their final strike Bote came in clutch!
As a Tigers fan, I had no reason to stay up and watch the end of this game, but I did, and it's now something I'll never forget. The Cubs quickly became my favorite NL team, and that was solidified when I got to go to Wrigley Field a year later and watch Schwarber hit a walk off dinger in the 10th against the Reds. I'll always be a Tigers fan first, but the Cubs produced some of my fondest baseball memories.
I feel the same. And I was at this game, about 15 rows behind home plate. Was unbelievable. Scherzer vs Hammels, in the first game of the latter's as a Cub. Amazing pitching duel, then the ending was off the chain. Unbelievable. I was stunned, lol. I would have lost my mind if I was first a Cubs fan instead of a Yankees fan. As a side note, I love watching the Cubs when I'm in Chicago because it is a big baseball town and all the locals follow the Cubs very closely and are very knowledgeable, no matter how bad the Cubs perform. Respect. True Yankees fans are the same way.
I'm 44 years old born and raised in a small town south of Mobile, Alabama but I've been a die hard Cubs fan all my life (surrounded by Braves fans) I've always wanted to see Wrigley Field and experience what atmosphere for a game there is like. Hopefully one day I will
I’ve been very lucky as my moms work sometimes gets tickets for the employees, if you ever get the chance to see a game there take it, the atmosphere IS amazing, even outside the stadium!
Same. I was watching this at night with my best friend and we cried ourselves to sleeep. At least now that we’re champs I can look, back and appreciate it for how good this homerun was😂
@@pattyice5 And there is nothing anyone can say about Cubs fans. They are extremely loyal, follow all the games, and are incredibly knowledgeable about the team - all while the Cubs seem to consistently fail every season for decades.
My son was at that game with a friend who was visiting from out of town. I gave them the tickets. What a great memory. See their phone video from inside Wrigley on my channel. It was Epic.
Not even close to being the first walk-off grand slam in Major League history. It wasn't even the first walk-off slam hit by a Cub during the 2018 season, for Jason Heyward had him beat by a couple of months. Bote's slam was the first ever walk-off grand slam hit with 2 outs and 2 strikes against him and his team down 3-0, though.
@@StandbySM Here's a bit of fun trivia for you. According to www.mlb.com/news/all-time-ultimate-grand-slams/c-290137154, 27 ultimate grand slams (a walk-off grand slam with the home team down by 3 runs) have been hit in Major League history. Who hit the first one? None other than Babe Ruth on Sept. 24, 1925.
@@StandbySM He had been showing himself to be a clutch hitter. Several days earlier, Bote hit a a two run game tying homer in bottom of ninth. Anthony Rizzo then promptly finished the game with his home run.
I caught that ball and ended up giving it to someone that would get the ball to bote because that’s a moment you dream of as a kid and he deserves the ball
