Mariners vs. Indians, 8/5/01 (Mind-blowing comeback!) | #MLBAtHome

I fell asleep watching a Ken Griffey documentary and woke up to this game

John Rocker hit 100 MPH in this game. I remember Rocker saying that before he retired, he wanted to hit 100 MPH. Well, he did. He then went downhill immediately after this game, walking too many hitters and losing his command, as all the pressure got to him. I'll never forget that.

Mariners should have had 117 wins that season for the all-time record, instead they share the record of 116 with the 1906 Chicago Cubs. They had a good club that year, and they should have beat the Yankees. Instead, another day of infamy in 44 years of Mariners futility. Another irony is that Seattle would play Cleveland that year in the ALDS, after 9/11. The Tribe blew out the M's 17-2 in game 3 to go up 2-1 in the series. But Seattle won the next two games on gems pitched by Garcia and Moyer, and the bats of Cameron and Edgar Martinez.

August 5, 2021 (a few weeks from tomorrow) will mark 20 years since this game. I think ESPN should do a 30 for 30 about it to honor the anniversary.

I WATCHED that happen live, on television in Sault Ste. Marie Michigan and I had a hard time going to sleep after that. Beyond unbelievable.

Vizquel driving in the tying run in front of his kid is straight out of a movie.

I really want to know if MLB could lay out an archive of full games from years past from all teams. Like if they had complete seasons of teams from the 90s, 00s, 2010s and had a way where you could watch them.

Waiting for the recap of this game

I really love that MLB took the score box out!

Vizquel followed by Alomar. All they needed was Chad Curtis and Mel Hall to complete the ensemble

No graphics from the original broadcast, I notice.

2:43:47

I was 11 years old, about to turn 12, and watched this entire game on ESPN with my sister. Thome was my childhood hero, loved the dude. Was glad at least that Thome hit two homers, despite both being early-ish. Lol. In the ninth you just started to get that feeling they were gunna come back. Kenny Lofton should be a hall of famer - just watch this game. He takes some incredible pitches, walks, sprays line drives. Stolen base threat. Juan Pierre on steroids, figuratively speaking. I ended up going to Cooperstown and saw Jolbert Cabrera’s bat barrel - it shattered, flying into left field on the game winning hit.

Most of my favorite plays to watch: 15:53 - 30:56 37:56 - 1:05:05 1:14:41 - 1:23:01 1:23:13 - 1:30:08 1:49:48 - 2:02:19 2:09:03 - 2:21:07 2:24:50 - 2:47:49 2:57:09 - 3:08:45 3:19:05 - 3:26:44

i fell asleep watching a 12 hour complation of sml videos and i woke up 2 and a half hours into this video

私の父親は、ドジャースが負ける度に、「良い時もあれば悪い時もある。毎回WBCみたいだったら疲れるから」と言っています(笑)その度に毎回爆笑しているので、こういう日はとても救われています

One of my earliest baseball memories as a kid. 7 years old and I somehow remembered this

I listened to this at a TA truckstop in Spartanburg North Carolina. Alas, I was a Mariners fan lol 😂

Where is the scoreboard at from ESPN??

Wow! Like, totally insane! MIND BLOWING!! [eye roll]
