Ultimate MLB Iceberg Explained
Video Overview & Insights
Iceberg formats have been around for a while, but if you need a refresher, it is a format meant to sort information from most well known all the way down to the depths of information that may surprise you and me.
Hey everyone, I'm the guy that made this iceberg! If there's any entries I missed, or something you would like me to include, just comment here. I'll try to add it asap. Great job on the video also, very well done! Subscribed 👍
With the help of some friends, I (No More Fielders) went ahead and took an iceberg made about MLB lore and broke it down bit by bit.

I'm going to be honest, I have an opinion that I know most people don't agree with. I want to see Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame and I want to see every sure Hall of Fame accused of steroids in the HoF. I don't care that Pete Rose bet on baseball, I mean I guess I care but the dude played the game so well that outside of Abuse and other horrible crimes I don't think anyone should be left out with those numbers. I'm my book if you played the game and at incredibly high level and you have numbers that exceed even others in the HoF then I want to see you in there. I also think that anyone who doesn't want steroid users in the HoF needs to hold true to their no cheating standards and disqualify every single pitcher who has used a sticky substance or anything else to aid their grip on the ball because we all know something as simple as Spider Tac takes pitchers who are barely hanging on as a starter and turns them into elite, even Cy Young level candidates which is actually more than steroids have done for pretty much anyone. If you still want to see every steroid user disqualified but keep every sticky foreign substance abuser in I want an explanation as to how you justify that....?

20:10 more or less the legend is Gibson was in the training room heard he’s not gonna be out basically said “fuck that” got a cortisone shot in his leg took some bp swings in ear shot of Bob Costas and told the staff to let Tommy know he’s good for a pinch hit. And I think this being before Freddie Freeman basically replicated the moment in 2024 I’ll give ya the “greatest moment in postseason history”
22:28 we love how poorly this aged

I wonder how far up his can that cheap-ass “Sorry, Dodgers” line is lodged right now. 🤔 At least above his large intestine. 🥴
All teams played the same amount of games in 2020. That’s like the losers complaining they had to play in the rain. 🙄

the promised 1800s baseball video sounded really fun and i was so sad to realize the link in the description to retro baseball now only goes to a dead channel

8:56 Bartman did not reach “into play”, the ball was over the wall. That’s why it wasn’t called fan interference, the moment a ball goes into the stands fan interference doesn’t apply.

Stellar video. As someone who always liked baseball, but never dove deep into the lore of the game’s long history until a few years ago, I really enjoyed this implementation of the iceberg format. Excellent work by you and your colleagues that collaborated to make this video.

Correction around the 8:30 mark, Yankees go to 1st world series since 1981 not 1978.

The MJ part is just wrong. In two years not ONE he started to do well in triple A and could still hit an MLB level fastball with no real experience. If Jordan wanted to stick with it and could hit anything off speed he’d have succeeded in baseball too I think. Some pretty great videos break down his baseball career

I’m honestly surprised you didn’t know about the W flag for the cubs, as a mariners fan that really only deep dives the AL west even I know about the Cubbies W

not mentioning the bay bridge collapsing due to the earth quake is a huge miss

3:10 during WW2, Jackie Robinson was a Lieutenant in the US Army who was harassed by racist military police trying to enforce local segregation laws on US military bases (which is not how laws work)
@BiggestCorvidTo every major pro sports organization:
STOP TAKING OAKLAND’S TEAMS!!!! LET THEM HAVE FUN!!
some people believe that mookie wilson would still be safe, even if buckner fielded it correctly. mookie was a fast runner and the ground ball as a slow roller, also buckner is playing deep on the grass
@chimplover445Just came here to say the Grab Turismo music is a nice touch. Shits a vibe
@YaBoyHamDude, I have to disagree with u on the Pedro Martinez incident involving Don Zimmer,
It was for sure a shining moment for Pedro Martinez. In 1984 there was an altercation between Reds Pitcher Mario Soto and Don Zimmer when he coached the Cubs.
There was a home run call that raised some controversy off of Soto which eventually incited a brawl when Sotot decided to make a beef with the umpire Don Zimmer jumped in the way and they squared off with each other,
I beleive Soto tackled Zimmer then the Cubs players jumped Soto with the Reds immediately jumping in causing a brawl that lasted over 10 minutes.
Soto was from Dominican Republic. Ue was Pedro Martinez’s idol. I’m pretty sure he went at Zimmer in retaliation for Soto. So at least for Pedro it was a glorious occasion.
The Billy Ripken FF card has spawned a Podcast from Rooster Teeth called the F*ckface Podcast, now known as the Regulation Podcast after RT went under. They deemed doing something for a stupid joke that backfires (like putting that on your bat) as 'F*ckfacing yourself' lol
@ZensMeatSlab22:35 and they did
@huntmike6why was the bergen section taken word for word from his wikipedia page? like y’all couldn’t change up the wording even a little bit?
@hollyhearsawhoooNiceberg!
@phlapjacksSee Gordon Homer will always get me
@clay_utterman i did exactly what you said i watched that ichiro vid and then a lot of his other highlights and i did fall in love with baseball
@stazz316Lets get this straight,jackie robinson was not the first black ballplayer. 1878 was bud fowler, 1879 was william white, and 1884 was moses fleetwood walker and brother weldy walker. Get your facts straight. As far as shoeless joe your right he had the best stats for that ws. But he took the money. Now as far as pete rose goes he screwed up by not coming clean from the get go. All he had to do was admit and say he had a disease called gambling. I personally think he belongs on the HOF. believe me not everyone in the HOF is a choir boy
@johnlamberti4424I know it's a one year old video and not many will actually care to read this comment, but Jordan actually a pretty decent stat spread when he played for the Barons in 1994 and actually took the sport seriously as he was trying to get over his father's death, as well as honor his late father apparently wanted him to be a baseball player initially. Aside from his dad dying the fact that he was feeling some burnout from basketball due to the Summer Olympics of '92 and his overall fame were also driving factors on why he swapped to baseball, but his dad's death was likely the trigger for him to shift. The biggest factor on why he probably didn't continue baseball aside from probably wanting to go back into the NBA, was due to the fact that due to the 1994 player strike occurring and it not being resolved until April 25th of 1995 , he realized he might be selected as a replacement player for the season, which probably would have tarnished his legacy a bit, and returned to the Bulls in March of 95. I will say if the strike didn't occur in 1994 there could have been a chance for Jordan to debut for the White Sox, but the only reason his brief stint in baseball occured and why he was able to return in the middle of the 94-95 season was due to the fact that Jerry Reinsdorf owned both the Bulls and the White Sox at the time, never canceled Jordan's NBA contract and owning both teams made him able to still have Jordan under contract regardless of which sport he would have stuck with.

@harperburgess9769Incorrect. Gary Templeton gave the home fans the finger on August 26 1981…….
@capt25197846:06
Carcass??? Ca-ra-cas.
36:00 that is not a “powerful” man. You clearly know nothing about sports broadcasters to make that connection.
@WhydidudoitcrushinatorActually the Yankees won that one in 4….
@Whydidudoitcrushinator21:25 my most poignant baseball memory was that AB, Rest in peace Tim
@WhydidudoitcrushinatorRetro Baseball was literally just reading Wikipedia verbatim
@wesley80477Level 7 is so creepy
@707_cyrusVideo is all over the place
@travisjones8014The narrator on the last tier needs some more cowbell in his voice. But great video overall. 👍
@TeachernycDid you ever come out with "Sliding Billy Hamilton and the stories of 1800s baseball." I'm having trouble finding it.
