There's a video of Esix Snead's walk off homerun on YouTube

i remember

i remember

back when mlb.com used to have a streaming site showing their best games. i used to watch that site for hours as a little kid, almost every day. i’ve watched the full game 5 of the 69 series, and game 6 of 86, and i still remember parts to this day and then, one day, i found that not only were the games not free anymore, but not all of them were available. i saw so many classic games back then. i wish i could do that now. i can find some football games, all baskekball games, but not one baseball game. it’s about time the mlb wakes up and realizes why people care less about baseball then ever before. people can go on youtube and find their favorite basketball, hockey or football memories. if i want to see the bobby jones one hitter, the full game, i can’t. and that sucks

I'm so weirded out by the idea that someone would not allow their videos on youtube.

I feel like there should be a federal law granting youtube right to all videos ever made.

hey MLB, you know what a great way is for people to get into your sport

let people show their friends the greatest moments of baseball, through some sort of video posting site, perhaps a “tube” of some sort, thereby showing off the best and brightest moments of the game and letting fans share their passion. Nah that would never work. Lets force them to watch through a slow, commercial laden site which doesn’t even provide the clips we’re looking for half the time.

Hey, wait! I'm having one of those things. You know? A headache with pictures?

This

I was trying to get a friend from Nepal into baseball and it took forever to find good clips, most of which had advertisements as long as the clip itself. Absolutely brutal. I gave up after 15 minutes.

I remember in college, you used to be able to use the MLB radio each game for free.

That’s how I was able to listen to the WFAN feed in York, PA. Now, you gotta pay. And I miss the feature in the recap section where you could click on the inning in the box score and watch the whole inning over again. That’s gone. Now you’re treated to a fucking 15-30 second commercial EVERY time you wanna watch a post game clip. " YOU GOT A WEATHER BALLON WITH POINTS!!!!!"

This makes me think

I wish there was a monster collection of Mets classics you could download. Some suggestions:

Benny Agbayani game
Steve Henderson grand slam
Fonzie’s game in Houston
An Al Jackson shutout
Fonzie grand slam in the playoffs
Rob Garner game
Al Leiter play-in game
Alay Soler and the plastic stool
Rick Reed game/Piazza’s 40th homer
Dae Sung Koo game
Dickey’s one hitter
Seaver’s 19 K game
Kooz’s 20th win

Don't forget

The 10 run inning against the braves with that 3 run homer by piazza. Also games like the game against rick ankiel and the game were we had 5 doubles in a row. And don’t forget the matt franco walk off against the yanks. I wish i could see the full game again

on the home opener '05 (?)

Pedro’s face froze on the jumbotron and the ump ruled it distracting to the batter. 1st pitch delayed like 15 minutes.
