This Will Never Happen Again: The Story of 70062 

Don’t Forget Miggy got 3,000 hits as well this season. This season was such a good one.

It might’ve had a rocky start but this was a great year for baseball, and were still in the middle of the post season

700 and 62; 18 days apart. Bonds' record total: 762. Sports is amazing. Great video, by the way!!

I will always remember where I was and how I felt when I read that Pujols hit 700. It was a catharsis like my own team just won the World Series. We saw history people. Twice. In one season. A season that almost didn't happen. Relish it. Manfred got bailed out lol. Edit: Baseball is so long that a comment reminded me that Miggy had hit #3,000 as well. Unreal. What a season!

this video was made so smoothly. the slow showing of the ABs inbetween the story is beautiful. well done.

This year was the first year I’ve really gotten into baseball and I honestly couldn’t have picked a better year!

As an Astros fan I hated and respected Pujols at the same time.He was a beast in his prime and always looked menacing at the plate. Every time he came up I thought he was going to knock it out against us. I’m happy he hit 700 especially with a Cardinals uniform on.

Pujols the only man I ever seen hit 700 that I was proud of

With a video like this, with this quality of narration and storytelling, you've got a bright future on this platform ahead of you.

Amazing vid, cocteau twins was just a chefs kiss and were only halfway through

One of the best baseball videos I've seen in a long time. Thank you so much, man!

I have counted a total of 6 mistakes in this video post-upload. The first to name 4 of them will get a free Hank Aaron Bobblehead or a shoutout on my next video. Good luck.

What an incredible season it’s been! Congrats to Pujols, and thanks for coming back to STL!

Did everyone forget about the 3000 carrer hit by miggy

Really well paced video and a good script. Nicely done!

This video was very well done. Much more than I thought it would be. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to watch more from you.

Good God! What a superb presentation. I haven't the words to congratulate you enough. Simply awesome. Oh, and a shout out to Kenner, Louisiana. Those who know, will know.

I grew up watching Pujols and this season was a reminder of the force he was in the line-up in his prime.

What’s more crazy…. Harrison Bader got to witness both record holders by playing in the same team this year. 😏

this was super well done, i thoroughly enjoyed it

Good video. I could see it blowing up which is why I’m worried that one sentence saying the lockout was because of the owners and players is blatantly false. Just don’t forget your fellow man because a few rich guys told a lie.

really great editing style and i loved the instrumentals. love this video!

I loved all of judge's homeruns at once! Great video bro keep going!

Excellent video my dude, very happy to have stumbled upon it. We were truly blessed with this season for the ages and it even kinda felt like being a kid again and seeing bonds/McGuire hit theirs, my Braves even went throwback to the early 2000s and got knocked out in NLDS

Wow. What a great video. There were some big storylines this MLB season. You did a great job covering these two!

Great content dude. I really think that baseball needed these two stories right now more than ever.

Funny how 700 & 62 add up to Barry Bonds’s career total. Total coincidence.

Wow bro , that was such a good point on why you like sports , I’ve never thought of that

As great as this season was, I wish St. Louis wasn’t swept in this post season. It won’t be this season, but I hope soon that the Cards get another World Series win soon, I want it before my grandpa passes. He still got some years, even being 72. If my grandpa passes before the next St Louis WS run, I’ll make sure I’m at one of the games for him.

love hearing injury reserve in a baseball video, great work man

Love the VCR style edit for Albert, fantastic vid all around

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Especially from a storytelling perspective. The structure reminds me a bit of the secret base rewinder videos, but I think their videos rarely match the level of quality of this one.

You are forever a legend for including Heaven or Las Vegas in this video 👏🏼🔥

This video is very well edited. Great vid all around.

Very Well Done! Throughly enjoyed!

Great job, very well done!

What a great piece, thank you.

Don’t forget Wainwright and Molina as a battery.

Love the Red Dead Redemption Music at the start lol, It's my favorite videogame of all time.

Pujols should unanimous be a 1st ballot Hall of Famer with an 100% result.

This was a wonderful video, but I'm most surprised by the jam alert when Pujols hit 700. I didn't think I'd be finding a new band that makes bangers from a baseball video, but dead mellotron is amazing. Also, as a fellow weirdo, beautiful message about why sports mean so much to me as well, that sums up how I feel about it, but have never been able to really put into words.

Great video, well done.

6:54 I feel like Brady Anderson hitting 50 home runs in his contract year in 1996 should've still been mentioned even if his OPS+ was only 156

Dope video. Love your style, and shout out Injury Reserve!!!🤘🏻

You never know when it comes to crazy milestones dude!

Great video!

This is a masterpiece man

Wonderful video good sir.

really really good video man. The editing could be a little bit cleaner, but that will definitely come as you continue to go. Youll def blow up with more concepts like this

Love your music taste

For me, this was a magical season (just like everyone else). However, the best part of it for me as a Nats fan was the beautiful, rugged, and battle-filled journeys of Mark Appel, Wynton Bernard, and (hopefully RotY) Joey Meneses.

Great video bro, I’m subscribed now! can’t wait till your one of the big baseball RU-vidrs

ur music taste is fire

Extremely well done

Great player, and person… congrats on a great career.

It just happened so it will definitely happen again.

as a Dodger fan, I'm glad he got the spark back in his short time with us and acknowledged he wouldn't have gotten to 700 without his time there. only fitting he did it against the Dodgers. I'll always love tio albert.

Baseball is the best sport in the world....just my opinion.....if you think it's boring, your just a person of no patience is all...unlike a simple back and forth in most sports and your timed in your movements, what's made baseball special and why I hate the clock rule entering is Baseball has no clock ... so smart play and head games no matter how far behind your are can work in your favor for a comeback....unlike other sports where after a certain score at a certain time there really is no chance...none and literally play is even stopped as professionals know this....Baseball is the best

Truly a season to remember

Really well done bro. Subbed.

I love when talking about judge American venom is playing in the background

Great vid

chills man

Thank good someone mad a video about this 👌

It was a privilege to watch Albert’s career. One of the all time greats and a class individual.

Ngl I was not expecting to hear cocteau twins in this video

You get a like and sub for using American Venom from Red Dead Redemption in this video. Great game and great song!

Lmao I wasn’t expecting a Cocteau Twins song in a baseball video. Great work

great video!

god damn, i love your videos!

Another thing that I say when people ask why I like sports that is very similar to yours is that sports are the only kind of storytelling that are unpredictable and without expectations from narrative conventions. That to me makes the big sentimental moments feel even bigger. I'm a sentimental guy, I cry at a lot of movies, but as a writer I also know that plenty of those moments are become somewhat predictable with enough media experience. But in sports, they organically happen, and more importantly, don't always happen. Think how many greats have career totals that fall just short of some milestone round number. Bonds and A-Rod both got denied storybook endings (Bonds's last at-bat ended in a routine flyout at the warning track, A-Rod ended with 696 career home runs), why was Pujols any different? You could say something about karma or just desserts or how cheaters never win, but real life doesn't play by those rules, much as we may wish it does. Plenty of athletes have "bet on themselves" only to have terrible seasons after turning down a contract. We got to cheer for Pujols and Judge while knowing there was a very good chance for things to end in disappointment. When I first saw Albert's home run, I cried. It was emotional even as just a general fan of baseball, I can't imagine what it was like for someone who was a Cardinals fan back in the 2000s watching The Machine play some of the best baseball of his generation.

that aaron judge homerun segment when all you hear is Michael Kay is so funny

70062 sounds like it should be a Jon Bois special project

Anyone else notice the crazy similarities of both home runs. Both on 1-1 counts from a right handed pitcher on their third pitch of their outings both hit into left field as well.

Red dead 2 music in the background got me to subscribe

cocteau twins, IR, and a QOTSA in an albert 700 HR/judge 62 HR video? have my sub m8

You’re catching a sub just cuz you’re a Braves fan and this video was a banger too.

the injury reserve instrumental when pujols is hitting those dingers is a great choice.

He got his 1st and 700th home run on the cardinals

I started watching baseball for the first time this year.

About a month ago I thought shohei had a legit chance going for Aaron’s record but he slowed down on the homers alot

I give judge and albert so much credit because it seems like the pitching is a lot tougher than it used to be i know it id harder to put up those type of numbers anyway

Crazy that we got to see the full career of the best righty batter in MLB History. Pujols had a 11yr run that won’t be matched.

Read dead redemption background music for judge, love it

I like how you edited the video👍

The fact they both went to deep left on 1-1 counts is so weirdly coincidental

I love how you edit this,keep it up ❤

love the fact you chose "heaven or las vegas" for the 700 song. albeit a cover, but most people would choose a trap song or something. good choice

love the rdr2 music!

One era ends, another begins.

i call it Shohei Ohtani effect. The guy who break a myth in modern era baseball, even after suffering a season of injury. These capitalist soul is awakened, making you wonder if you can be any better. Especially Justin Verlander, man is the wine that gets better the older he is. Damn, there should be a Shohei Awards and Ohtani Awards to tribute two way player and best of the best batter (not just silver slugger that based on specific position in a league).

Never heard of him until 700.

liked for the Injury Reserve beat

Everybody knew the angels fuuuuuuucked up

This is why baseball is my favorite sport

So happy that Pujols got to play his last season with the Cardinals and get to 700 career home runs. He will be a first ballot HOF for sure especially with all the statistical milestones he reached. The title of the video might be right as the way the game is nowadays I see it very likely that 700 career home runs or even 600 career home runs might not be reached ever again. We might see some players reach 500 career home runs but I just don't see a player getting to 600 career home runs or even 700 home runs again. The same can be said for 3,000 hits as we could see a couple players reach that milestone but we don't see players getting to 200 hits a season as we use to. The same could also be said for 500 career doubles, 600 career doubles, 500+ career stolen bases, 2,000 career RBI and 3,000 career strikeouts. The point is that the way the game is right now we should appreciate when a player reaches a big career milestone even more than we use to because who knows if we will see that milestone reached again.

Never say never. The future might be surprising.

This was such a remarkable season and I'm so glad I got to experience it. Padres over Astros in 6

can we just ackowledge how the dodgers fans were all cheering when he got his 700th homerun

5:44 if hell is real, Michael Kay's voice and opinions play on a loop like this
