St Louis CARDINALS at Chicago CUBS 6/22/84 Original WGN Broadcast 

Nice factoids

Heart of breakdancing here June 1984

WOW! Very historical two day run here with Karate Kid being released in theaters on this day and the day before the Sandberg game which aired on NBC.

The karate kid isn't groundbreakin

I loved that team as well, great ballclub the 84 Cubbies,, I still think they would have beat the Padres if they had the seven game format for the NLCS which was adopted in 1985.

@@leftykoufax7084 The 80s had the best logo for WGN - TV.

Vinc & Lou on the radio what a great broadcasters

Caray in all phases of his career a true American treasure. This was indeed his peak.

Yes Jay Johnstone was a great for Baseball in his years in the big leagues..was always good with fans and signing autographs too very genuine no BS about him 😎👌⚾️

@@pheniafilmsthemlbarchiveso9229 Do you have or can you find the so called Sandburg game & upload it to RU-vid?

@@tonyarceneaux286 all MLB games in my archives have all been uploaded to my Phenia Films MLB RU-vid channel already (except for post season games which have already been uploaded to RU-vid by others already) im currently up to the year 2000 and go to 2009..I stop recording and being a fan of the soft MLB of today which the game has obviously become...all my remaining games should be uploaded to this channel by 2023

I agree. He always gave good advice on baseball fundamentals along with his analysis

29:30 Harry states that Steve Sax still leads in the balloting for second baseman.....that would dramatically change in 24 hours

the sndberg gme ws on nbc

@@BaseballPlayer0 He didn't say it wasn't. Only that it drew interest in the Cubs which led more people to watch the Cubs on WGN--which was on many cable systems across the country.

And never won in that era

Dallas Green having been the Phillies manager knew about the players in the Phillies system.

@@paulsonj72 Who in your opinion was the biggest Phillies player that the Cubs stole?

Actually Milo went to Houston in '85, sort of in exchange for DeWayne Staats. He and Harry worked together in '82. But because they didn't get along (an understatement; although you wouldn't know it from from watching them in action), the Cubs hired Steve Stone to work with Harry on TV, while Milo would work with Lou Boudreau on radio. Harry and Milo would switch places for innings 4, 5 and 6..

Milo was supposed to be Jack Brickhouse's replacement in 1982 as the TV voice on WGN, but Harry decided to leave the Sox after they went to a pay tv deal with a limited audience. WGN jumped at the chance to get Harry when he showed interest and Milo was furious, he hated the fact Harry was much more popular. After one year of working together on TV, they gave MIlo the #1 radio job, working 6 innings of PBP with 3 on TV and Harry doing the opposite. Which was still a great gig-except Milo remained jealous of Harry. I don't know what went on behind the scenes but Milo went to Houston after a couple years.

all games in my archives from the 70s 80s and 90s other than post season games (or games which have previously been uploaded already by others on RU-vid) have all been uploaded to my Phenia Film MLB Channel...currently doing the 2000s to 2009 that's when I stopped recording and lost interest in the current soft MLB games of today..no longer a fan and no longer recording A-Ballers

The page administrator are in control of all comments not youtube itself..any comments left not related to MLB from this era or segment or game posted is shit canned..no need for nasty comments etc all baseball talk or memories intact

That thunder was quite loud in the 5th inning. Surprised they did not suspend the game at that point.

@@bradleyhudgins1005 So there was Severe Weather across the Midwest that day. In Minnesota we had Tornado Warnings in the late afternoon.

it’s all good just stick to the subject at hand..no comments not related to MLB from this era or games posted will not make the cut..any hate or nasty comments get shit canned..and no I was such and such age when this game was played will get posted either (who cares)

Lighten up, Francis. Why do you think people care about clips like this? Because it brings back memories of being so young. Who cares about how old they were at the time? Basically anyone with a soul.

"There's a drive, deep center".. as willie Mcgee takes a few steps in to catch Rick reuschel's bloop just beyond the infield.

Check out when he was younger 81 White Sox games he was fantastic and he started the barrage of New Cubs fans no more empty seats.

You could be a 90 year widow from Armpit, IL and Harry was glad to wish you Happy Birthday! My favorite Harry story...tight game, 8th inning and our SS Ramierez lets a short pop fly drop in front of him. Harry was so mad he says "How can a guy from Mexico lose a ball in the sun!?!?"

Rick was passed his prime in 84 1973 was an ace

​@JC-pu7gi You're wrong. The Cubs gave up on him too early. In 1985 with the Pirates Reuschel was 14-8 2.27. In 1987, 13-9 3.09. 1988, 19-11 3.12, and in 1989 he was 17-8 2.94 at age 40. He had a lot left and was definitely not past his prime. The Cubs should have kept him.
