Video: 1984 NLCS Game 4: Padres vs. Cubs

Yelling so loud for it to get out that I was super startled. I remember how revered Garvey was. I still feel Garvey is a massive POS as a human being, and over rated as a player. But he brought a degree of respect to the Padres organization we desperately needed at this time in franchise history.

I was 6 then and I dont remember it at all, but I grew up in the OC.

I was 3 at the time, don’t remember it, but my Dad was at the game. It was the greatest sports moment he has ever witnessed. I grew up constantly listening to the 1984 Padres record, copied on cassette.

Garvey crushes it, Feeney is screaming in my ear "Its’ a rocket, Its’ a rocket and I am laughing at the left fielder for jumping and trying to catch it.

The buzz in the ballpark never stopped from the time Templeton waved that towel until Wiggins recorded the final out. We showed up at the first World Series game two hours early, just to breathe the World Series air.

i always liked the logos on the back wall. I chuckle at something you will never see today— A big sign for Marlboro Cigarettes! I was only 3 at the time so dont remember it, but still gives me goosebumps.

But I think his all time favorite is ‘The night of the Garv’.

I was born one year after it happened, so of course I didn’t see it. However, doing some quick math, it is possible that I may have been conceived that night…

They just surrounded Garvey and high fived (and carried him)…none of that weak group hopping teams do today.

Also like how the camera didn’t even bother covering Garvey crossing home plate, instead focusing on the wah wah wah walk of the pitcher.

Clinching the NL was my first birthday present. Thanks again, Padres.

My Dad took me to game 4 and I remember like it was yesterday. I’ll never forget Garvey hitting the home run, the crowd going crazy, my Dad put me on his shoulders and they started playing Cub-busters with everyone singing. You can even hear the Ghostbusters theme music in that clip. What a game, what a series, what a season!

In my opinion, at least.

Check out this quote I just found on Yahoo’s Jim Thome page. The greatest mistake in Yahoo sports history? Pretty funny, no matter what you think.

Thome is in the Twins’ starting lineup Sunday, one day after sitting in deference to Jason Kubel, the Star Tribune’s La Velle E. Neal III reports.

Recommendation: Even at 87 years old, Thome is still among the Twins’ better hitters.

was a day my Mom dropped me off at the ballpark with my friends. It was Mother’s Cookie Trading Card Day at the park. After the game, we were walking around The Murph waiting for my mother when I heard another kid say, “Steve Garvey! I can’t believe it’s Steve Garvey!” Low and behold there he was in a suit signing autographs for a group of kids. I grabbed my Garvey card and he signed it. I remember that moment like it was yesterday…unfortunately, I can’t find that damn card!!!

Sure is Dodger in here.

Seriously, people can keep all the memories they want in their head. The wall is for Padres only.
