1968 World Series, GAME 7, Detroit Tigers at St. Louis Cardinals, COMPLETE GAME

I watched this with my dad, the coach of my little league team,lol I was 9. Great memories. Thank you.

For anyone who doesn't know Detroit history, this win was so important because just the last year, 1967, Detroit was rocked to the core with a violent civil insurrection. Tensions were very high still in 1968 so this was a welcome boost to all.

Detroit native. I was only 6 in ‘68 so I love being able to watch these on YouTube. ‘84 was so special for me, I went to a lot of games that year and I’ll never forget the feeling when they won it all.

Lolich belongs in the Hall of Fame for is efforts in this series, and his excellent career in the years after.

Gibson's timing is extraordinary! He moves from pitch to pitch so fast the batters are hardly ready. As a Tiger fan all my life it's AMAZING to see this game! Huge mound - no annoying ads on the walls - and no VERY annoying broadcasters talking constantly. The modern stat lovers must hate this! Love the 1968 TV ads too!

One of my greatest memories was watching this entire series with my grandpop.

Remembrances of something 52 years ago. I was a young college student in Grand Rapids, MI. Like a lot of Tiger fans in Michigan, I lived and usually died with the Tigers. In '67, we should have won the pennant , but lost it on the last play of the last game of the season. I thought, My God, am I EVER gonna see my team go the Series? I found out in 1968: a runaway pennant and a classic win in a classic World Series by an every-day working man's pitcher against the best pitcher I have ever seen. I was watching this Game 7 in a TV room at Grand Rapids Junior College, Mickey Stanley's alma mater. After the game, I'm walking in downtown Grand Rapids when I see other students in a honking car and littering the street with toliet paper. Now, I'm 72 years old, coming off a 114-loss season in 2019 and now, just trying to survive in the ERA of COVID-19. And so, I watch this...because there is always hope.

The final baseball game in the classic era as far as I'm concerned.

Roger Maris last game of his career. My earliest baseball memory was his 61st home run in 1961. I was a 9 year old Yankees fan. It’s sad his the Yankees treated him, and injuries really took away his ability to hit with power after 1964. But they traded him to the Cardinals in 1967 and he played in the WS in his last two seasons. If he had not been injured, he would probably have made the HOF.

I was 10 year's old when this World Series played. My dad let me stay home from school to watch the Tigers play. Because of this series these two team's are my two favorite teams.

This was a Dozen years before my time but watching and listening to this Game tells you how Great Baseball really was Back in those days. This is why I say this was the Greatest Tigers Team ever because they beat a really Good Cardinals Team and their Ace.

Back when the mound was 13"Plus and pitchers threw 200plus pitches a game Mickey Lolich should be in the hall of fame. No one will ever do what he accomplished

what a great world series, so nice to be able to see again, great memories of life

Seeing and hearing the great Ernie Harwell one more time. Tears...

this game and  entire WS were fantastic. was only 10 yrs old at time and feigned illness so I could stay home and watch game. Gibson and Lolich were awesome

Wow! Thanks. 9 years old and will never forget it.

dominant Tiger pitching last 3 games.....all complete games. One of them on 2 DAYS REST....Amazing!!

I had a transistor radio and listen to this game on it. I had to hold it to my ear Half the time. What a game what a series and played in daylight!

Great game ! Amazing the speed of Curt Flood .. love the pickle play ! I remember listening to this game at recess on my transistor radio with ear plug !

Looking back, it was the stumbling of Curt Flood on Northrup's double, and the controversial play in Detroit where the Cardinal player should have slid instead of trying to score standing up. Either way, it does NOT take away from the stellar play of both Bob Gibson and Mickey Lolich. This was truly a classic for old time baseball!
