Fell asleep and YouTube brought me here

I’m literally reliving the famous meme. Fell asleep watching nba highlights. Woke up at 4 am to the 95 ALDS😂
-
This was the World Series for the Mariners
-
One of the greatest games in MLB history. Not to mention the series was exciting to say the least.
-
1995, I can't believe it was that long ago. Amazing how time flies.

Man, oh man. I miss those days. I remember EXACTLY where I was watching that inning. (eleventh) I was at South Center mall, and they had a TV on in one of the stores display window, and a small crowd included myself watched how it all unfolded. With the hit by Griffey, and then Edgar gaming winning hit that followed was absolutely AMAZING. We all were just screaming and having a good time. That was a great moment in my life, and I was probably around 18 at the time. Moments like that is what made baseball fun for me. So hopefully, the Mariners can put together a team that works well together and also win together so in the future, another young kid could have great memories the way I do and did.

Griffey's smile at the bottom of the dogpile is one of the most unforgettable images in sports for me. That's exactly how I felt when I witnessed this live back in '95.
-
I always get goose bumps whenever Lou motions in Johnson from the pen. Loved how he slowly walked to the mound building up the moment. The crowd was rocking when that happened.

3:39:38 The perfect would-be ending to a story that had to continue (for fellow SB Nation fans).
-
One of the greatest finishes in baseball history!!!
-
I have watched the ending of this game hundreds of times and I still tear-up every time.
-
I’m not even a Mariners fan, but this is one of my favorite baseball memories from the 90’s. Seeing Griffey round second base, without a doubt in his mind that he was stopping at 3rd sends chills. What a series this was. Too bad the Mariners lost to Cleveland. Would have loved to see Griffey play in a World Series with Seattle.

90s Mariners will forever be the most fun baseball I ever watched.
-
Baseball is the greatest sport... what a moment in baseball history! This gives me chills
-
This gotta be the greatest ALDS ever. The games in NY are classics, the games in Seattle are classics. Add in what Don Mattingly did in this, his only, postseason as well as what Jrvand Edgar did plus you had A-rod and Jeter watching from the benches and you have a series for the ages.

I remember my Dad woke me up to watch the end of this game! I was 11 or 12.....and we are Cards fans! What an incredible finish!!
-
Best live sports experience of my life; definitely the noisiest building I've experienced (more than all three NFC Championship games next door) and the unbridled joy that exploded amongst the crowd when Griffey crossed the plate was fantastic. Pandemonium was an apt description...after 10-15 minutes of cheering (nobody wanted to leave!) they put the camera on Niehaus and showed him up on the diamond vision...played his call of The Double...and the crowd went crazy all over again. Ahh, memories...

"Lined down the left field line for a base hit! Here comes Joey! Here is Junior to third base, they're gonna wave him in! The throw to the plate will beee late! THE MARINERS ARE GOING TO PLAY FOR THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! IT JUST CONTINUES! MY! OH! MY!" R.I.P., Dave Niehaus

The Mariners were so good back then. Junior is one of the top five players ever in my book. Super clutch player. Martinez was smoking hot in that series!

I'm always baffled how a video like this gets 31 thumbs down. I'm a Yankee fan and my heart broke at the end of this game, but I'm still glad someone posted the game so I could see it again.
