New baseball video I made

[OleMissCub]

Just finished putting this together and thought I'd share it with you guys to see what you think.

....and yes, I know that Joe "I Am the Baseball God" Morgan is in it, but that clip was too good to leave out....he was very, very fast.

needs more players from 1990-present

I wanted to include some more modern greats like Maddux, but it's very hard to do. 2 reasons:

 

1) Hard to find footage on the net of the modern players to use in the video because of MLB's stranglehold on all video.

 

2) Even if I found some footage and put it in the video, even 5 seconds worth, MLB would pull the entire video off YouTube.

 

Even still, I'm giving my video a 50/50 chance of surviving the month thanks to MLB.

That is greatness. Brought a tear to my eye. No Santo/Dawson?

[pitchcs]

Nice vid. Only the true 'legends'. I think you kinda eluded to that with the opening quote.

 

That Brooks Robinson play is amazing. Oh, and after taking a close look at Lou Gehrig, could you imagine that guy with today's strength programs/drugs? Scary.

neifi???

Good job Ole Miss but I would also have included BIlly Williams, Fergie Jenkins, and Ron Santo.

I'm not that sychophantic.... :-)

 

Although they are true legends in my mind, too.

George Brett? Great video though. Completely enjoyed it.

[Bixby]

Needs more Geovany Soto.

I did have a clip of him ready to go, but forgot to put him in. I also forgot to put in Johnny Bench.

I really don't mean to bait here, but I really liked the footage of Cobb and Wagner. I can't even believe you found that. Good work.

That's certainly a good shot, but my favorite is the one right before it that has Banks, Robinson, Aaron, and Mays. That must be the most total home runs between the participants of any single baseball photo. 512+586+660+755 = 2513 total home runs!

When you consider the Big Red Machine and the time and era that was going on and such, that picture of Joe Morgan (alone) had more homer runs than those guys.

 

Not that they are bad players.

 

Who was that skinny white dude in the Cub uniform?

[seanimal]

Joe Morgan had more than 2513 home runs?

[bhogg]

Joe Morgan had more than 2513 home runs?

 

 

Yeah, at least 300-400 more. Big Red Machine.

[OleMissCub]

Joe Morgan had more than 2513 home runs?

 

I believe it was sarcasm aimed at Morgan's delusions of grandeur.
