This wasn't Johnny Bench's last at-bat. This is his home run on Johnny Bench Night at Riverfront, where they celebrated his retirement, but he still had about two weeks left to play. I think his actual last at-bat was in Houston.
5;25 I was at that game. Niekro went through the order the first time and was lights out, the next time through, he got hammered. Made Kevin Mitchell look like a little leaguer in the first inning.
Can't believe it didn't show Cal Ripken. He was one of mlb favorites. Grat ball player. Great person. Saw his last at bat and running around the entire field. Was awesome.
As a Yankee fan, I can only remember that hit in 1995 off Jack McDowell. I knew it was coming. Still, "Griffey! Is coming around." It's one of the greatest calls in baseball.
@@shipofthesun There cannot be a comparison between apples and oranges due to the different leagues... If that is the case, then it might as well be Cy Young... But this is about more modern times
@@EdwinMaturski-cc9is Except Ryan never won a WS game, and Satchel won two. Oh, and he threw more innings and won more games than anyone, ever. I'd like to see Ryan throw 3 games in a single day and win all of them.
@@shipofthesun A team wins a World Series... Pitching that much is long gone... I'm just talking 5,714 Strikeouts... 7 No-hitters... And 11 One-hitters... Nothing more... You are free to believe as you will... That's what makes Baseball great
Thought we'd see.....Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Tom Seaver Day, Rod Carew. Harmon Killebrew. Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, Eddie Murray, Steve Garvey,
Hard to believe that David Ross wasn't included. Chicago Cubs, Game 7, 108 year drought, homerun to keep them in the game Tell me that that wasn't dramatic
