Kids, pull up a chair and make this one full-screen. Â This is an important video.
1. Â Darryl hits the longest home run you will ever see.
2. Â You won’t see it because Sportschannel was horrendous.
3. Â You can pretend you saw it, my memory was that I saw it but I guess I didn’t.
4. Â You’ve heard me talk about how AWFUL Fran Healy was – here is the proof. Â Before you go updating Fire Wayne Hagin try to sit through this clip.
5. Â Proof that by 1988 Tim McCarver was starting to get schticky and annoying.
6. Â Look at Strawberry’s body. Â No steroids. Â Imagine this guy on steroids?
Thanks to Larry for finding this one. Â Amazin’
Thanks for reminding me of the good old days. Yes, Fran Healy was bad. By far the worst sportscaster I can remember.
this was Opening Day 1988, right?
That shot was estimated to have gone 520 feet were the roof not in the way. (Amazing the things you remember…Speaking of which, up to that point–and it may still be the case–the ’88 Mets were the only team in baseball to ever lead their league in both most runs scored and fewest runs allowed yet not win the pennant.)
