00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
The 1941 baseball All-Star game was held at Briggs Stadium in Detroit,
3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
where the American League sent 22-year-old Bob Feller to the mound against Whit Wyatt,
4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
who had a 13-4 record for the Dodgers at the break.
5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Two historic moments were taking place during the 1941 season.
6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Ted Williams was batting 4-0-5 at the time of the All-Star game, and would end the season batting 4-0-6.
7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Additionally, Joe DiMaggio was in the midst of his 56-game hitting streak.
8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
At the time of this game, his streak stood at 48 games.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Good afternoon everybody, this is Ty Tyson speaking from Briggs Stadium in Detroit.
13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaking for WWJ, the Detroit News, and W45D, the frequency modulation station in Detroit.
14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,000
And we're all set to bring you this All-Star baseball game this afternoon,
15
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:20,000
the annual All-Star game between the pictures of the American League and the National League.
16
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:36,000
A great day for a ball game, probably the best day that the teams have had since the inauguration of this series between the Blue Clubs some nine years ago.
17
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Bill Finkel's fans are out here playing right below us.
18
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:48,000
It's pretty hard to talk over. They're right down here between the home plate and the screen behind the stands.
19
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
The American Leaguers are taking their infield practice in the present time.
20
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And Al Schacht's doing a bit of frowning around third base.
21
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Trying to get a little cleaner to you with all the fans going on.
22
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
I assure you the fans will not be here after the play starts. They'll be over in the stands.
23
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Briggs Stadium is all decked out in the national colors.
24
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:23,000
There are very few vacant seats at the present time, and the reserved seats for the game were sold long before noon.
25
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,000
They're still coming in to take up positions in what few vacant seats are available now.
26
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,000
They're sold, however. The only seats that I can see that are vacant I know are in the reserved section,
27
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:45,000
so most tickets have been sold, and these latecomers will be here probably before the game starts or shortly after it gets underway.
28
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,000
The actual play will start at 1.30.
29
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Right now with the American Leaguers taking infield practice,
30
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Buddy Tebbott is doing the catching here with Artie Fletcher batting them out.
31
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Jimmy Fox is at first base, and Al Schacht down there clowning at third.
32
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,000
He just let a ball go right through the center of the straw hat, getting quite a laugh from the crowd.
33
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Al will do some other stunts here a little later, but at the present time he's doing that old stunt of his playing third base, which we've watched for years.
34
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Now the lineups. I'm going to give you the tentative lineups right now.
35
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:31,000
We'll check later on, but I know that a lot of you like to get these written down when you have plenty of time and long before the game gets started,
36
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
and I think it will be the official starting lineup.
37
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:46,000
I got the American Leaguers from Del Baker, who was managing this club, and Bill McKechnie, managing the National Leaguers, gave it to me.
38
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,000
And of course there may be a change before the game actually starts, but I doubt it very much.
39
00:03:51,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Inasmuch as this is played in an American League part, the American Leaguers are the home club, and the Nationals will go to bat first,
40
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
and here's their batting order.
41
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Stan Hack, H-A-C-K, third base, he's from the Chicago Cubs.
42
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Terry Moore, M-O-O-R-E, the St. Louis Cardinals, left field.
43
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Pete Reiser, R-E-I-S-E-R, Reiser, from the Brooklyn Dodgers, center field.
44
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Johnny Mize, M-I-Z-E, St. Louis Card, first base.
45
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Bill Nicholson, N-I-C-H-O-L-S-O-N, from the Chicago Cubs, right field.
46
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Markey Bond, D-A-U-D-A-J-N, of the Pittsburgh Pirates, shortstop.
47
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Linus Fry, F-R-E-Y, Cincinnati Reds, second base.
48
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Mickey Owen, O-W-E-N, the Brooklyn Dodgers, catcher.
49
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,000
And Whitlow Wyatt, W-Y-A-T-T, of the Brooklyn Dodgers, pitcher.
50
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Now let's see, that gives two of the Chicago Cubs,
51
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
two of the St. Louis Cardinals,
52
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000
three of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
53
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,000
one Pittsburgh Pirate, and one Cincinnati Red,
54
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
the starting lineup for the National League.
55
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:01,000
For the Americans, it's Bobby Doerr, D-O-E-R-R,
56
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
for the Boston Red Sox, second base.
57
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Cecil Buck Travis, T-R-A-V-I-S, Washington, third base.
58
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Joe DiMaggio, New York Yankees, center field.
59
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Ted Williams, of the Boston Red Sox, left field.
60
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Jeff Heath, of the Cleveland Indians, right field.
61
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Joe Cronin, of the Boston Red Sox, shortstop.
62
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Rudy York, of the Detroit Tigers, third base.
63
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Bill Dickey, the New York Yankees, catcher.
64
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:50,000
And Bob Feller, of the Cleveland Indians, pitcher.
65
00:06:50,000 --> 00:07:00,000
So that gives us DiMaggio and Dickey, of the Yankees.
66
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
York, of the Tigers.
67
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Feller, of the New York Yankees, catcher.
68
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,000
And Heath, of the Cleveland Indians.
69
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Bobby Doerr, Ted Williams, and Joe Cronin,
70
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
of the Boston Red Sox.
71
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,000
And Cecil Travis, for the Washington Senators,
72
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
in the starting lineup. Just a minute.
73
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Yeah.
74
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:43,000
All right, what do you want?
75
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Al Schacht has now gone out on that pitcher's mound.
76
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
He is warming up with a gent that almost knocked him over.
77
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,000
I think it's Johnny, Johnny Radulovich.
78
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
He's really sucking it back to Al.
79
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Al has taken his glove off the hand.
80
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
And now one of the boys are bringing him out a glove
81
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,000
that is just about as big as the ordinary catcher's chest protectors.
82
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Not quite as big as the ones that the umpire use,
83
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
but maybe Al will do a little better later on.
84
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Winding up, you can't even see from, well, a little below his shoulders.
85
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
He's entirely covered from there up by this mitt.
86
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000
He's lost out there. He's facing the center field as he starts winding again.
87
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Now he turns around. He heaves this one in, the ball.
88
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Catcher shakes his head and throws it back awfully hard.
89
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Backs Al back three or four feet. Tears that glove off.
90
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
And he has a telephone there. He's picking it up and calling.
91
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
And here comes the same lad out from the Tigers bench,
92
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
which will be the American League bench this time,
93
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
more of the third base side, wheeling out a glove that just fills a wheelbarrow.
94
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
And it's a good sized wheelbarrow, not a toy barrow,
95
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000
the kind that Neil Conway uses out here to keep the field in good shape.
96
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
He's got this glove up on his shoulder and partly on his head.
97
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
He's staggering around out there.
98
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
He's really putting on a good show for the folks.
99
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
He starts, starts to swing and the weight of the glove
100
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:27,000
pulls him back about ten feet behind the pitcher's mound.
101
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
There's the wind up and the glove knocks him flat on his back.
102
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
He puts it up and down on his head and it drives him flat to the ground.
103
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,000
In the meantime, Bob Feller is warming up in all seriousness
104
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,000
down here for the American Lakers and Whitlow Wyatt for the Nationals.
105
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Both right handers.
106
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Shack is down on the ground.
107
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
This catcher threw the ball back just over his head and cleared out into center field.
108
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
They're getting ready to raise the flag.
109
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000
And the band is all set here to play the National Anthem.
110
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
The umpires have just come out.
111
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
And here's the way the umpiring will be handled during the first four and a half innings.
112
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Bill Summers of the American League.
113
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
We're getting the lineup over the P.A. system.
114
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000
And I'll give you the umpires before they start.
115
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Bill Summers of the American League at behind the plate.
116
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Hugh Jordan of the National League at first.
117
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Bill Grieve of the American League at second.
118
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000
And Babe Pennelly of the National League at third.
119
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,000
And incidentally, Babe Pennelly played third base here in Detroit, 1920.
120
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,000
So he's starting this all-star game as umpiring at the same spot.
121
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000
I will check up on this official batting order.
122
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
We're all right so far.
123
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Mack, third base.
124
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Moore, left field.
125
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Reeser, center field.
126
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Myers, first base.
127
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Nicholson, right field.
128
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Vaughn, shortstop.
129
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Frye, second base.
130
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Owen, catcher.
131
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
And Wyatt, pitcher.
132
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
National League lineup, which I gave you a while ago is correct.
133
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Here comes the American League batting order.
134
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Doar, second base.
135
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Travis, third base.
136
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Joe DiMaggio, center field.
137
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Williams, left field.
138
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Heath, right field.
139
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Cronin, shortstop.
140
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:03,000
York, first base.
141
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Dickie, New York, catcher.
142
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Feller, Cleveland, pitcher.
143
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:25,000
The umpires are coming up, and it won't be long until this all-star game is actually on the way.
144
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,000
In the eight previous games, ten home runs were made in these all-star contests,
145
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,000
five by each league, so they're all even as far as that's concerned.
146
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Only Frankie Frisch of the Cardinals and Lou Gehrig of the Yankees produced more than one.
147
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Frisch hit for the circus in the inaugural game in 1933, repeated in 1934.
148
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Gehrig made a home run in 1936 and another in 37.
149
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Now, others that are, may get a home run today are Joe DiMaggio, who hit one in 1939.
150
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Jimmy Fox, when playing with the Athletics, hit one in 1935.
151
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Joe Medwick, who was representing the Dodgers this time while with the Cardinals, hit one in 1934.
152
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:25,000
The umpires, the managers, and the coaches have come out to the plate, getting all set.
153
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,000
And as I say, it will not be long until here we go.
154
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
In 1933, the American League won 4 to 2.
155
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,000
In 34, the American League repeated again 9 to 7.
156
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
And again in 35, they won 4 to 1.
157
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Everybody up, National Anthem.
158
00:13:44,000 --> 00:14:02,000
National Anthem.
159
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:12,000
National Anthem.
160
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:34,000
National Anthem.
161
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
There we are.
162
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000
There's the roar of the crowd.
163
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:46,000
The band gets away from here and it won't be long, continuing with this record of the All-Star Games.
164
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:54,000
After the Americans had won again 8 to 3 in 1937 for five straight victories,
165
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
the Nationals have won the last three, or have won two.
166
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
In 1938, the Nationals won 4 to 1.
167
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
In 39, the Americans won 3 to 1.
168
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
And in 40, the Nationals won 4 to 1.
169
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,000
The Nationals also won in 36. Pardon that.
170
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000
There were there 4 to 3 in 1936.
171
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:20,000
So the American League has the edge of 5 to 3 so far.
172
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Umpire Bill Summers, the plate umpire, first half of this game is yelling,
173
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
come on boys, get the field clear to photographers.
174
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Parafinalia, bring the lads out.
175
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
It's just about 1.30.
176
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
And Commissioner Landis, President Harridge, and Frick of the two leagues,
177
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,000
want to get this thing started right on time.
178
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:50,000
A lot of old ballplayers here today in this crowd of over 50,000.
179
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,000
I probably, the oldest one, at least the oldest one that I have any recollection of,
180
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
any knowledge of being here, is Bobby Low.
181
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,000
He's over 70 and he was a great hitter at the time.
182
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
He's out here, lives in Detroit, he's enjoying it.
183
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,000
There go the American Leaguers, out on the field.
184
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
York at first base, off the Detroit Tigers.
185
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Bobby Doerr, the Boston Red Sox at second.
186
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Joe Cronin of the Red Sox at third.
187
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Cecil Buck Travis, short rather Cronin, Cecil Buck Travis, of the Senators at third.
188
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000
William Williams of the Boston Red Sox in left field.
189
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Joe DiMaggio of the Yankees in center field.
190
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,000
And Jeff Heath of the Cleveland Indians in right field.
191
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,000
And out there pouring in the ball to Bill Dickey behind the plate is Bob Feller,
192
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Cleveland Indians' ace right-hander, with 16 victories as against four defeats.
193
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Now the rules of the game, the all-star game, is that a pitcher works three innings.
194
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:03,000
He can't work any more than three unless he happens to be the third pitcher in the game
195
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
and the game goes into extra innings.
196
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Then he dares to stay in as long as the manager so desires.
197
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Umpire in chief Bill Summers is yelling something to Neil Conway,
198
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,000
the groundkeeper, to be sure and get a couple of these photographers out of the way
199
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:28,000
so they're down beyond the American League dugout opposite third base.
200
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Stan Hack, left-handed batter, third baseman of the Chicago Cubs,
201
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:41,000
his first man up in this ballgame.
202
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
The National Leaguers are wearing their road uniforms,
203
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
so they're quite colorful, different ones.
204
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Feller's first pitch, a fast ball on the inside corner around his knees for a call strike.
205
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:59,000
The Cubs have sort of a silky looking uniform, light blue pants with a white stripe down the seam.
206
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Same color shirt, sort of a jersey effect with dark blue sleeves, white shoulder pads,
207
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:12,000
and a red stripe around the sleeve just above the elbow and a blue cap, rather colorful.
208
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Feller just broke another fast one in there for the second called strike on Hack.
209
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Hack is hitting in the neighborhood of 310 for the season.
210
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
The count is two strikes and nothing.
211
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Feller starts that windup, here's the pitch,
212
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
and it's a low breaking curve inside close to the batter's feet for ball one.
213
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Two strikes, one ball.
214
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,000
First man up in the all-star game, Stan Hack of the Chicago Cubs,
215
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
third baseman on the National League team.
216
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000
We have a strong breeze blowing from the outfield right into the plate.
217
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,000
There's the windup for the next one, and Hack swings on a curveball to drop down in the dirt.
218
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Dickie digging that out of the dirt.
219
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Feller not relying on the fast ball to blow by that time, but a beautiful curve, one out.
220
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Next we have Terry Moore of the St. Louis Cardinals, left fielder, and a right-hand batter.
221
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Wearing the gray with the red trimming, steps in there, waves his batter.
222
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,000
And swings on the first pitch, a high fast one, getting the underside of the ball, falling it back to the net.
223
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Strike one on Moore.
224
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:34,000
One man up, first inning, one strike on Terry Moore.
225
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Feller draws his pitching hand across his shirt front,
226
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
goes on the old meat hand, leans over, gets the sign, begins that windup.
227
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
The arm is up, there's the kick, and the pitch is a curve outside, a little high.
228
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Ball one and strike one.
229
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:56,000
One ball, one strike, one away, bases empty in the first inning.
230
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Leo DeRoscher coaching at first base for the Nationals,
231
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,000
barking in there, Terry telling him to pick out a good one and hit it.
232
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Feller starts his windup, and the pitch is in there, a fast ball on the inside corner, belt high, and 20 rapid.
233
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000
On the count is two strikes, one ball.
234
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Two and one on Terry Moore.
235
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Feller pulls his cap down a little more firmly, kicks around at the pitcher's slab, leans over to get the sign from Dickey.
236
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Bill comes out of that crouch, the windup starts, and the pitch is a hit, a fly ball rather, in short.
237
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Center field, shortstop Cronin backing up for it and takes it fully out.
238
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,000
A little blooper in short center field, about 40 feet behind second base.
239
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Cronin, shortstop, making the foot out.
240
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:58,000
So there's two away, and Pete Reeser, sensational hitting outfielder of the Brooklyn Dodgers, hitting 360 and a long ball hitter.
241
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,000
This kid is a pimp. I've seen him in spring training and he really can hit.
242
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Left-handed batter, Feller goes to work, the base is empty, two outs, first pitch, fast ball high, outside, ball one.
243
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:19,000
He works for DeRosier, and DeRosier hollered, hey, and he looked around, he says, make him get it over and then sock it.
244
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
One ball to count.
245
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Two men out, base is empty.
246
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Dickie comes out of that crouch, Feller starts his windup, then begins all over again.
247
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,000
There's the motion, the pitch is a fast ball around the batter's knees for a called strike.
248
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,000
The count is one and one on Reeser.
249
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Brooklyn Dodgers road uniforms are gray, blue stockings and blue caps, blue letters.
250
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,000
The count is one and one.
251
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Feller has the sign, there's the motion for the windup.
252
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,000
They're playing Reeser straight ahead, Reeser bunt, foul down the third baseline.
253
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,000
And the count is two strikes and one ball.
254
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Two and one.
255
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Jimmy Wilson is the manager of the Chicago Cubs, coaching at third.
256
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Leo DeRosier, manager of the Dodgers, coaching at first.
257
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
And the count is two strikes, one ball to Pete Reeser.
258
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Feller gets a new ball ready, the arm goes up, here's the pitch.
259
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Reeser swings on a low fast ball off the outside corner for strike three.
260
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,000
That ends the first half of the first inning.
261
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Feller striking out two and causing the other to pop to Cronin and trot center field.
262
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,000
No run, no hit, no error.
263
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:53,000
First up struck out, Moore popped to Cronin behind second and Reeser struck out.
264
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Now we get the American Leaguers.
265
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:04,000
See what they can do against the right-hand pitching of Whitlow Wyatt.
266
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Mickey Owen, who is doing the catching at least as long as his battery mate,
267
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Whitlow Wyatt is on the hill, first three innings at least,
268
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,000
wasn't expected to catch at all in this game although he'd been chosen,
269
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:26,000
but he suffered a bad bump over the eye and it didn't look as though he'd get into the game at all.
270
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000
However, he is here and is going to catch.
271
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:38,000
He's wearing a mask with a special padding, looks like sheep's wool all up around the top there
272
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:43,000
and also along the left side at least, down along his jaw.
273
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:52,000
First man up will be Bobby Doerr of the Boston Red Sox playing second base for the American Leaguers this afternoon.
274
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Right-handed batter.
275
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Bob was out of the game, Bob the lineup for some time due to a very bad Charlie hold.
276
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,000
He's telling me he's all right now and he's in there ready to go.
277
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000
He's been playing recently.
278
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,000
The last time the Red Sox were here he was out of commission.
279
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Now here's Whitlow Wyatt, the record of 13 victories and 40 defeats.
280
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Big right-hander used to be with the Tigers.
281
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:28,000
The first pitch, Doerr hits a high fly, a rainmaker right up at second base and fight.
282
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Takes it for the putout.
283
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:41,000
One away on the first pitch.
284
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Next comes Cecil Travis.
285
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Third baseman, Washington Senators, left-handed batter.
286
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Nice to the American Leaguers all wearing the white uniforms, the home uniforms.
287
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Wyatt's arm goes up for the pitch.
288
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,000
It's a curve ball down in the dirt, ball one.
289
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,000
The boys are passing the ball around the infield a bit.
290
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Owen tossing it out to Hack.
291
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Hack gives it a rubbing up and tosses it back to Wyatt.
292
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000
They're playing Travis just about straight away at that,
293
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000
except shortstop Archie Vaughn has moved over a little toward second,
294
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
but the outfield is playing straight ahead.
295
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
And the next pitch to Travis, a fastball on the outside corner,
296
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:33,000
letter high for a called strike, makes the count all even at one and one.
297
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000
One strike, one ball.
298
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
And the motion for the next one, outside.
299
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Wyatt trying for that outside corner, has missed with two pitches.
300
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
He isn't very far outside, but just off.
301
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,000
So the count is two balls, one strike.
302
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Taking his time looking for the sign, Owen comes out of the crotch.
303
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
There's the motion.
304
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000
And it's fouled into the upper deck, opposite third base, souvenir ball.
305
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Strike two and the count is two and two on Travis.
306
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
He hit a fastball, a high fast pitch.
307
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000
A little late getting around that time.
308
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Two strikes, two balls.
309
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,000
One man out, bases empty in the first, no score.
310
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Here's the pitch.
311
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Travis turns one around back here in the screen, right behind the plate.
312
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Foul ball.
313
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:32,000
I can't see very many open spaces in Briggs Stadium right now.
314
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
I would say right now there are over 50,000 in here.
315
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Wyatt gets a new ball, rubs it up a bit.
316
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Choosy's gum, waiting for the sign.
317
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,000
He already has it.
318
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Owen comes up, here's the pitch.
319
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000
And there goes a drive to center field, coming in fast for it.
320
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,000
And takes it for the putout, his center fielder, Pete Reiter, a reacher.
321
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Two men out and a big hand being afforded, Joe DiMaggio.
322
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Joe comes up there, taps the plate for the handle of his bat.
323
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
This game doesn't count on that consecutive record of hitting.
324
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,000
He's already hit in 48 straight games.
325
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
See whether he makes it 49, but this will not count.
326
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Thursday's when Joe wants to get number 49.
327
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:34,000
First pitch of Wyatt, right over the outside corner, belt high, a nice curve for a called strike.
328
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:40,000
And they're playing Mr. DiMaggio plenty deep and shading him a little toward left field.
329
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
The next pitch is a high fly.
330
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Third baseman Hack is coming over across the foul line as the wind blows it right into the third base coach's box.
331
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000
He takes it for the putout.
332
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:56,000
So each team retired in order in the first inning.
333
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:05,000
No run, no hit, no error.
334
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Door, pop to second baseman Frye.
335
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Travis, fly to reacher in left center, and DiMaggio fouled out to third baseman Hack.
336
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Now we're ready to go into the second inning.
337
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:32,000
We'll have Johnny Mize, Bill Nicholson, and Archie Vaughan.
338
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
First three to face Bob Feller.
339
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Big Johnny standing there working with three bats.
340
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:52,000
He's a powerful lad, hitting.348.
341
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Johnny Mize, Cardinal, first baseman, left-handed batter.
342
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
First man to face Feller in the second inning.
343
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
No score, no hits.
344
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:12,000
The windup, Feller's first pitch to Mize is a fast ball outside for ball one.
345
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Bob steps around, gets a better footing out there on the hill.
346
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Field is an excellent playing condition.
347
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000
An ideal day, bright sun, little breeze.
348
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Next pitch, Mize hits a high fly to center field.
349
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:32,000
DiMaggio playing perfect position, fades a couple of steps and takes it for an easy out.
350
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:39,000
One down and Bill Nicholson of the Chicago Cubs, left hand hitting right fielder.
351
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Moving up in the spot just vacated by Mize.
352
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000
He's a big powerful lad, too.
353
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Now that wind has switched a little bit and blowing more toward the right field stands,
354
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
benefiting left-hand full hitters a bit.
355
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Feller's first pitch, a fast ball, fouled back against the screen, strike one.
356
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Came in there with a fast, letter-high pitch.
357
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
One strike on Nicholson.
358
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:17,000
One man out, bases empty, second inning, the all-star game.
359
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,000
No hits and no runs.
360
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Feller working on this new ball, he's satisfied with it now.
361
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Leans over and gets the sign from Dickey.
362
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Bill comes out of the crouch, the arm goes up, here's the pitch.
363
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:39,000
A curve ball breaks over, starts outside and comes over belt-high for a called strike on Nicholson.
364
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Feller throwing a nice hook.
365
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:49,000
One ball, one strike.
366
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Now Bob is crouching over, he's all set, straightens up.
367
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:58,000
The arm goes up twice, there's the kick, the pitch is a fast one outside, a little high for ball two.
368
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Two balls, one strike.
369
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Two and one.
370
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Crowd pretty quiet, very tense.
371
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Feller begins his motion, here's the pitch.
372
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Outside again, another fast ball, a little high and outside.
373
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Two balls and two strikes.
374
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,000
That derosher has plenty of voice coaching down there.
375
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,000
First base, Jimmy Wilson, manager of Nicholson, just gave him a sign.
376
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,000
I don't know whether he's reading Feller or not, but at any rate he gave him a sign.
377
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Now we'll see what happens.
378
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:50,000
There's the wind up, here's the pitch, and it's a curve ball that breaks over for a called third strike.
379
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Whatever Jimmy gave him, I don't know whether Nicholson caught it or not,
380
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:02,000
but at any rate he stood there with his bat on his shoulder as Feller broke over a curve for a called third strike.
381
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
So there's two out, bases empty.
382
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Arki Vaughan of the Pittsburgh Pirates, shortstop and left-hand batter coming up.
383
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Three left-hand hitters in a row in this inning.
384
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,000
That's three strikeouts for Feller of the first five men retired.
385
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
First pitch is a high fly close to the foul line in left.
386
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Ted Williams is coming over fast for it.
387
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000
He's under it and takes it just as he crosses the foul line.
388
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Plenty high in left field and the wind blowing toward right field helped keep that ball in
389
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,000
where Williams could finally get up to it to make the catch.
390
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:40,000
So that ends the second inning for the Nationals.
391
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:46,000
No run, no hit, no error.
392
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Mize fly deep to DiMaggio in center field.
393
00:32:53,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Nicholson took a called third strike and Vaughan fouled to Williams in left.
394
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Coming up for the second time at bat, the American League presents Ted Williams hitting 4-0-5.
395
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Jeff Heath, 3-71.
396
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Joe Cronin, 3-38.
397
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Williams is the only lad who has hit a ball over the roof of the third deck in this ballpark.
398
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,000
It is quite a cloud.
399
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:39,000
There's Owen's cause to fry at second, fry whips at the Vaughan, Vaughan over to Hack.
400
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Hack gives it a going over before returning it to the pitcher's mound.
401
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Now Wyatt has it and we're ready to go.
402
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:55,000
And this is WWJ and W45D Detroit bringing you the All-Star Classic from Briggs Stadium.
403
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Williams up there at the plate, Wyatt looks him over.
404
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Now he has the sign, Owen comes out of that crouch, the arm goes up for the pitch,
405
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,000
and it's a fastball outside about shin high for ball one.
406
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:16,000
And when shin high on Williams, it's up there pretty close to six feet.
407
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
They're playing Teddy well around toward right field.
408
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,000
The defense, next pitch a curve breaks over the plate but too low.
409
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Ball two, two balls, no strikes.
410
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Two and nothing on Williams leading off.
411
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,000
There's the wind up, the pitch, ball three.
412
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Ted almost went for that one, a sinker that broke right down almost in the dirt.
413
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Owen had the back of his glove on the ground when he received that pitch.
414
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Three and nothing, fastball through the middle, the automatic strike.
415
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Williams taking it, never moved his bat off his shoulder.
416
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:03,000
He looks down toward first base where Merv Shea is doing the coaching.
417
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Artie Fletcher coaching at third for the Americans.
418
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Count is three and one.
419
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Wyatt winds, he pitches low for ball four, the first man to get on base in this ninth All-Star Clash.
420
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Ted Williams getting there by the base on ball group.
421
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Jeff Heath, another left-handed batter, hits a long ball coming up there.
422
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Heath of the Cleveland Indians hitting 371.
423
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Williams on first, nobody off.
424
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Heath seems ready to go and he's backed out of the batter's box, rub a little dirt in his hand,
425
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,000
getting a little sign from Fletcher down there at third.
426
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Wyatt pitches from the shoulder for the first time.
427
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Heath swings at a low breaking drop for strike one.
428
00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Wyatt had that one down pretty tight, right down around his chin.
429
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000
One strike on Heath.
430
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Williams taking a little lead, not much.
431
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Mize is holding him on pretty closely.
432
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,000
There's the ground ball to second base, it looks like a double play.
433
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,000
It's a double play from Fries to Bond to Mize.
434
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Looks like a since Taylor made double play when that ball left Heath back.
435
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Not very hard hit ball and down toward second, which gave Fries a chance to come into the ball
436
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
while running in toward second base.
437
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Bond coming across, taking the easy toss, then rifling it to Mize to complete the double play.
438
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:39,000
And here comes Joe Cronin of the Boston Red Sox, right-hand batter, two out and the base is empty in the second.
439
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:44,000
He's there with his bat boys high in the air, waiting for that first pitch.
440
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,000
And here it comes and it's in there too, a fast ball, plenty fast on the inside corner about belt high.
441
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Call strike on Cronin.
442
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Wyatt starts his motion for the next pitch and bends a curve over this time, pulling Mr. Cronin.
443
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Belt high curve ball for strike two called, two and nothing.
444
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Out base is empty in the second, no score and no hits.
445
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Only one man has reached base. That was Ted Williams starting this inning on a base on balls.
446
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Playing Cronin toward left field with Bond playing a very deep short stop over toward third.
447
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:28,000
There's the pitch and Cronin flies to right and settling himself for the catch out there in right field
448
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:34,000
as Bill Nicholson takes it for the out and that ends the second inning.
449
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:40,000
No runs, no hits, no errors.
450
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Williams first up, walked on five pitches.
451
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Heath grounded into a double play, Fry, Bond to Mize and Cronin fly high to Nicholson and right.
452
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,000
This is a tight little ball game but we expected the same.
453
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Pitchers like Feller and Wyatt opening the game.
454
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:07,000
It really didn't look to me as though either team were going to get any runs in that first three innings.
455
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Here comes a couple of boys from the bullpen out under the stands
456
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:18,000
because this will be Feller's last round to go.
457
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:23,000
That is a large gentleman trotting in there Paul, big Paul.
458
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:32,000
When he carries a windbreaker just on half of his body he looks much larger, doesn't he?
459
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Yeah, he looked pretty large against Tigers in the last game, last ball.
460
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Here we go, it's Linus Fry first up for the Nice and Lakers, Cincinnati Reds second baseman.
461
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Left handed batter, Fry, Owen and Wyatt unless they use a pinch hitter for Wyatt.
462
00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Don't think they will because Witt may pitch the third against the American Lakers.
463
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Feller starts his windup and the first pitch is way outside, ball one.
464
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:17,000
One ball to count, Linus Fry first up, third inning, no runs, no hits.
465
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Here's the pitch, a swinging strike and he goes for a low ball off the outside corner.
466
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,000
On the count is one and one.
467
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:32,000
One strike, one ball, Feller mopping his brow with his search sleeve.
468
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Now he's around satisfied, getting the sign, Dickie still in the crotch, Bill comes up, Bob starts his motion.
469
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:45,000
The pitch, ball two, a little high and a trifle outside to a left handed batter.
470
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Started throwing him off this near corner to me.
471
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Two balls, one strike.
472
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
And the motion for the next pitch.
473
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,000
A foul down the first baseline, right between the bag and the coaches box.
474
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:13,000
The Rochers jumping away from someone has a souvenir, that one took a nice hop as it got out there to the barrier.
475
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Someone sitting in a field box reached out and got it.
476
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,000
He has a souvenir of this all-star game and the count on Fry is two strikes, two balls.
477
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:31,000
First man up in the third inning of a hitless and scoreless game so far.
478
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Feller steps around out there on the mound, smoothing the dirt a little bit where he comes down after delivering the pitch, get a better footing.
479
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Now he's in the hole ready to go, his arm goes up and down and up again, here's the pitch.
480
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Fry lines a single to right field for the first hit of the ball game.
481
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Line drive about ten feet high as it went through the infield midway between first and second base.
482
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:59,000
The first hit of the ball game, Linus Fry of the Cincinnati Reds.
483
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:05,000
And here comes Mickey Owen, Brooklyn catcher.
484
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,000
One man on, nobody out.
485
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:16,000
The second-leaguers put the first man on in the second inning but he was erased with a double play for the next batter.
486
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Now here's the national, national leaguers have their first chance.
487
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Owen is a right-hand batter, Tickey comes up out of that crouch calling for the pitch.
488
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Feller pitching for the first time without a full windup, lays the first man over, letter high for a called strike.
489
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,000
One strike on Owen.
490
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Fry edges off first a bit, Yorker standing right on the bag.
491
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,000
There he's caught between first and second, throw to York and then to Cronin.
492
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000
And he's out.
493
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Feller, York to Cronin.
494
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Fry made his break too soon before Feller delivered the pitch and was an easy out.
495
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Feller, York three-six to Cronin.
496
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,000
One away.
497
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Now Feller can go back to that full windup.
498
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,000
And that's a bad break for the nationals.
499
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Time called. Owen starts to wander out of the batter's box as an airplane passed not over the field.
500
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,000
He was off the beam this time, didn't fly right across the field.
501
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:24,000
But it was a bit disconcerting. Mr. Owen didn't want to take his eye off one of Feller's pitches looking at that airplane.
502
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Mickey doesn't want to get hit in the head again.
503
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Here comes another plane. I don't know whether it will stop for this one or not. It's coming right over too.
504
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Here's the pitch and there's a high fly to left field. Plenty of chance.
505
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,000
Williams is galloping in slowly. He's under it now waiting and takes it for the out.
506
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Two away.
507
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:50,000
And Wyatt is not going to pitch. We're going to have a pinch hitter for Wyatt.
508
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,000
The with is all through after pitching two innings.
509
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Mel Ott. Mel Ott is batting for Wyatt.
510
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Ott is a left-handed batter that cocks his foot, lifts it off the ground before he swings.
511
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,000
That front foot comes up and the pitch is low. Ball one.
512
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Ott batting for Wyatt.
513
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Melvin is a pretty fair hitter, if anyone should ask you.
514
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:29,000
He has 18 home runs to his credit, leading the older circuit.
515
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Left-handed batter. The count is one ball. Two men out. Base is empty.
516
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Feller pitches and it's a fast one outside and high for ball two.
517
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Feller pitching him down and then high and outside.
518
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Two balls, no strikes.
519
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Bob starts his windup. Here's the pitch.
520
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:54,000
And he lays that one over midway between the belt and the letters on his uniform for a called strike.
521
00:43:54,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Two balls, one strike.
522
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Lots of chatter out there in the American League club talking it up to Feller.
523
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Bob peers in there for the sign. Dicky's out of the crotch. The arm goes up and the pitch is bowled.
524
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Back in the netting behind the plate for strike two, making the count all even at two and two.
525
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:23,000
Two strikes, two balls.
526
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Two men out. Base is empty. No score in this ball game.
527
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,000
Feller getting a new ball in shape. Has his glove tucked under his arm.
528
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Now he pulls it on, dries his pitching hand on his shirt front, leans over, comes up straight, begins his windup.
529
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Here's the pitch. And the pitch is outside for ball three.
530
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,000
So Ott will have a chance to look over a three and two pitch and make up his mind.
531
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:58,000
I'm glad it's Ott, not me.
532
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Three and two. One hit has been made off Feller. He has fanned three and he's walked none.
533
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Now there's the windup. This is the pitch. Here she comes.
534
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,000
And Ott strikes out, the bat flipping out of his hand, going clear up to first base.
535
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Dicky dropping the pitch, which was in the dirt, picked it up through the arc.
536
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,000
And that ends the third inning for the National Lakers.
537
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:40,000
And Feller is all through after pitching his three-inning score, allowing one single, no runs, struck out four, and walked none.
538
00:45:40,000 --> 00:46:06,000
No score in this ball game. And since Ott batted for Wyatt, Wyatt only worked two innings, gave up no runs, no hits, struck out none, walked one, and Big Paul Derringer, Cincinnati right-hander, now pitching for the National Lakers.
539
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:24,000
He'll pitch first to Rudolph Preston York. And both boys are familiar with each other as far as playing against each other.
540
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:34,000
We also have a new catcher in there. Al Lopez of the Pittsburgh Pirates catching.
541
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:43,000
Rudy York first up, Derringer pitching. And Rudy gets quite a hand.
542
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Local boy, only one on this club today.
543
00:46:51,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Hits the first pitch, an extremely high fly, an easy chance for center fielder, ricer, and he takes it for the put-out.
544
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:08,000
One away.
545
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Next we have Bill Dickey, Yankee catcher, having a marvelously good year after a bad one last year.
546
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Bill has come back a long way this year, which is a big help to putting the Yanks up where they are.
547
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:30,000
He's hitting 330 last year. Bill could hardly buy a base hit at this time of the season.
548
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:42,000
First pitch to this left-hand batter is outside, ball one.
549
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Derringer winds, pitches a sidearm pitch, which is hit on the ground to second baseman Fry.
550
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:56,000
There's the toss to first, and Dickey is out. Fry to Myers.
551
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Roy Cullenbine, St. Louis Browns, Detroit boy, batting for Feller.
552
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Roy Cullenbine, he's getting quite a hand.
553
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Left, he's a switch hitter, so he'll bat left-handed. Two men are out, base is empty, no score.
554
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:34,000
Derringer winds, here's that pitch, and he breaks a curve over for a called strike.
555
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:41,000
And the motion for the next one, a swinging strike, fastball. He was a little late getting around on that.
556
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:50,000
Two strikes and nothing.
557
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:55,000
Here's the pitch. Cullenbine hits right back to the box, an easy bounder.
558
00:48:55,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Derringer grabs it, tosses to Myers, Cully is out, and that ends the third inning.
559
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:11,000
No run, no hit, no error. Three scoreless innings in this ninth All-Star Classic.
560
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:18,000
And now we've got a new American League pitcher, and it looks to me very much as though it might be Lefty, Thornton, Lee.
561
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:24,000
The last time I saw Lefty, Thornton, Lee, he was doing tricks for the Tigers here.
562
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:40,000
He has won ten games for the White Soxers.
563
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Lefty, Lee, Thornton, Lee, now working for the American Lakers.
564
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:58,000
No score in the first three innings. This is WWJ and W45D Detroit.
565
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:17,000
The third man, Lee, will pitch to left-handed batting Stan Hack. First time around, feller, fanned Hack.
566
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:30,000
All right, here we go. Hack is in there, leading off in the fourth inning.
567
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Lee's arm goes up for the first pitch, a sidearm curve for a called strike.
568
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Hack was going to swing, decided not to, but the ball bent over the outside corner, around his knees for a called strike.
569
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:52,000
And the motion for the next one. Inside, ball one, one and one.
570
00:50:52,000 --> 00:51:00,000
Throws a sidearm half crossfire pitch. Big tall range, you lad, six feet.
571
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Arm goes up and he pitches low, ball two. Tried for that outside corner with a knee-high pitch, but the ball was too low.
572
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:15,000
And it's two balls and one strike. Two and one.
573
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Ball three, a little bit off the outside corner, up around the letters of the uniform.
574
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Shakes his head, he didn't think that should have been called a ball.
575
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:31,000
That's the first time we've seen any of the pitchers question the pitch, or just question the calling of a pitch.
576
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Three and one, he may have to come in with a fat one this time. He does for a called strike.
577
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Not too fat at that. Ball was down around the batter's knees.
578
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Hack preferred to play the string out, the count is three and two.
579
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:54,000
This is the payball, there's the wind-up. Here she comes, and it's socked on the ground for a hit.
580
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:59,000
A single just out of the reach of Cronin, tried for a backhand stop, going over toward third base,
581
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:03,000
but the shortstop couldn't get in front of it, and that's the second hit of the game,
582
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:07,000
and the National Leaguers have both of them.
583
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Fry is single to open the third inning. Hack's single to open the fourth.
584
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:21,000
The Fry was tapped off first, and I imagine that Hack will play it a little safer,
585
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:26,000
especially with a left-hand pitcher up there holding him on.
586
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Terry Moore, foul of the first pitch into the crowd out beyond the National League dugout up first base way.
587
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Ball skipping around out there. Here's a fan something to laugh at.
588
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:42,000
And umpire Summers tossed a new ball out to Lee.
589
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Hack takes a bit of a lead. Moore here a right-hand batter, hits the right field, a fly ball,
590
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:57,000
and it's an easy chance for the putout out there taken by right fielder Heath.
591
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:08,000
So there's one away. Hack remaining on first.
592
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:15,000
Heath Reeser is up. Left-handed batter whom Beller struck out on his first appearance at the plate.
593
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:20,000
He hits a bounding ball to York, grabs it, steps on the bag. He's throwing down to Cronin.
594
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:25,000
And Cronin tags. Hack sliding in the second for a backhand double play.
595
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:30,000
An easy bounder to York right at the bag. Rudy grabbed it, stepped on the bag, and whipped it to Cronin,
596
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:41,000
putting it on to Hack as he slid for the bag, and that ends the fourth for the National Leaguers.
597
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:57,000
They had to play that double play in reverse. And the runner at second had to be tagged.
598
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:04,000
No run, one hit, no error. National Leaguers have the two hits that have been made.
599
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Neither team has scored. The American Leaguers have received the only base on balls issued.
600
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Ted Williams drawing one to open the second inning for the American League.
601
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Any changes yet?
602
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:37,000
What about left field?
603
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Elliott, Bob Elliott of Pittsburgh, is playing right field for the National Leaguers now.
604
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:52,000
And Bobby Doerr is first up for the Americans, fouls up into the stands behind third base for strike one.
605
00:54:52,000 --> 00:55:05,000
He popped the second base for the first time at bat.
606
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:21,000
Derringer all set with a new ball. Pitches, Doerr fouls into the dirt, strike two.
607
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Two strikes and nothing on Doerr. Derringer waiting out there with that new ball, nods his head,
608
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Lopez comes out of the cross, hears the pitch, and it's socked on the ground to second baseman Frye,
609
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:36,000
picks it up, he didn't have to move forward, and throws him out at first.
610
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,000
So there's one away in the fourth.
611
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:46,000
And Buck Travis coming up, lied to center field the first time up. Left center.
612
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:56,000
The National League lineup at the present time is Terry Moore on left, Pete Reiser center, Bob Elliott on left,
613
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Donnie Myers at first, Linus Frye at second, Archie Vaughn at short, Stan Hackett third, Derringer pitching,
614
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:10,000
and Lopez catching the first pitch. Travis, a left-hand batter, low outside. Ball one.
615
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:21,000
And the windup for the next one. Foul, strike. Just ticked a little piece of that.
616
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:27,000
White padding on the mask used by the National Lakers. The catcher turns around,
617
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:31,000
he looks sort of like one of these white-faced monkeys.
618
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,000
There's a drive to left center field and it looks as though it's in there for a hit.
619
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:40,000
It is. It's going between Moore and Reiser for a two-base hit to the barrier in left field.
620
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:47,000
365 feet away, the first American League hit. And the first extra-base hit.
621
00:56:47,000 --> 00:57:01,000
But Travis, off Washington, getting that one. With one out, Travis on second in the fourth inning, no score.
622
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:07,000
And that was a clean double. There was no chance for either Moore or Reiser to get in front of it.
623
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:12,000
And here comes Joe DiMaggio fouled out the third base the first time at bat.
624
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:23,000
First pitch, inside, ball one.
625
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:27,000
This is the first time anyone has got to be on first base.
626
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:33,000
High, fastball, outside, ball two.
627
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:37,000
Two balls, no strikes. Derrens are hunched at his shoulders.
628
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:42,000
Shoes is gummed, Modsy's head to Lopez.
629
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:48,000
Shortstop Bond playing well over toward third. DiMaggio hits a long fly to center, deep center field.
630
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:53,000
And it's taken by Reiser after a long run, 400 feet away out there.
631
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:58,000
And Travis sprints to third after the catch. That ball was really tight.
632
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Reiser scampered well over into deep right center field to haul that ball in while still going,
633
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:08,000
at least 400 feet from the plate.
634
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,000
And someone, I think in the upper deck out there, threw something down.
635
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:19,000
I saw something pass between the ball and the direction Reiser was going,
636
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:24,000
which is not very good sportsmanship in anybody's ball yard.
637
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,000
Now they had a little huddle out around the pitcher's mound.
638
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:32,000
Hacks the third baseman, Lopez the catcher, and Derrens are the pitcher.
639
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Has Ted Williams coming up to the plate.
640
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,000
Theodore Walks the first time at bat.
641
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Long, lackey left-hander. Says he's right in the pink.
642
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:51,000
Steps in the left-hand batter's box. Derrens' arm goes up for the pitch,
643
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:56,000
and it's a fast ball outside, chin high for ball one.
644
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:02,000
The wind has shifted around again and is gently blowing in from right field.
645
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Such a gentle step. And the motion for the next.
646
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:13,000
Strike called. Big Paul found that outside corner with a letter high fast ball.
647
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:17,000
One ball, one strike. Travis on third, two out on the fourth.
648
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:21,000
No score in this ball game.
649
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:26,000
They're shading Williams around toward right field. Derrens are pitchers.
650
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:33,000
Williams fouls back up in the top deck.
651
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Up among the working press.
652
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:43,000
And the working press are pressed for space today.
653
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:47,000
There's a lot of them here. The count is two strikes. One ball. Williams up there. Here's the pitch.
654
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Williams blinds the right field.
655
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:55,000
And right fielder Nicholson falls down the ball over his head against the barrier.
656
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Travis comes home for the first run of the game, a two-base hit for Williams.
657
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,000
A line drive double for Elliott over Elliott's head.
658
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,000
He fell down, slipped out there, and fell flat on his back.
659
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Could have had that ball had he been able to keep his feet.
660
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:18,000
With a low-lying sinker shot over his head then against the barrier for a two-base hit.
661
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000
And the first run of this ball game is in.
662
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:26,000
The American Lakers leading one to nothing.
663
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:31,000
A cheap way to get a run, but the runs count.
664
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Jeff Heath is up there, left-hand batter's box. First pitch a called strike.
665
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:43,000
That's a tough break for Derringer and the National Lakers when Elliott lost his footing and sat down on the grass.
666
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Strike swinging.
667
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:51,000
He could have caught that ball about set time.
668
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Strike, where he goes.
669
01:00:53,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Two strikes and nothing on Heath. Jeff steps out of the batter's box. He's in again.
670
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Derringer waiting for him.
671
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:13,000
Now Paul pitches, Heath fouls back in the net, and the count is still two strikes and nothing.
672
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:19,000
The crowd is murmuring about that drive out there and the fact that Elliott fell down.
673
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:24,000
He just feet shot right out from under him, sat down gently. Strike three called on Heath.
674
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,000
Derringer laying that one right in the middle.
675
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,000
And that ends the fourth inning.
676
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,000
And the American Lakers take the field with a one-run advantage.
677
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:44,000
One run, two hits, no error, and one left on base.
678
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Bobby Doerr, first up, grounded out on an easy chance, second to first.
679
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Prior to Myers, Savas lined a double between left and center field against the barrier out there, 360 feet.
680
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,000
For the first American League hit of the game, a two-base hit.
681
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:05,000
DiMaggio flied very deep to Reeser in right center.
682
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,000
Williams lined to right field, a sinking line drive.
683
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Right fielder Elliott slipped in the grass, sat down, and the ball just over his head against the barrier for a two-base hit, scoring Savas for the first run of the game.
684
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:30,000
And Heath then took a called third strike.
685
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,000
So there you are, one run, two hits, no error.
686
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,000
Each team has made two hits.
687
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:38,000
And the American Lakers have the one run that's been scored.
688
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:53,000
Myers, rather, first up, starting the fourth, fifth inning rolls to York for an unassisted putout.
689
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,000
One away, and here comes Elliott.
690
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Right-handed batter.
691
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:10,000
Now Bob can get back in the good graces of everybody by stocking one home run out here to make up for that sitting down in the grass business out there.
692
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,000
Foul ball, hits Dickey on the right pole.
693
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:18,000
And Bill is stepping around there, limping a bit.
694
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:26,000
Strike one.
695
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,000
One strike on Elliott.
696
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:34,000
Lee's arm goes up, he pitches, a fast ball down toward third.
697
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:41,000
Savas comes up with a nice stop and throws him out at first.
698
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,000
Two away, bases empty.
699
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:51,000
Archie Vaughn, the Pittsburgh Pirates, shortstop in this game for the National Lakers, tried to left field the first time up.
700
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,000
Moves in there in the left-hand batter's box.
701
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,000
Lee starts his wind-up motion.
702
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Here's the pitch.
703
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:10,000
And a wide sweeping curve outside, ball one.
704
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,000
There's the motion.
705
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:16,000
Foul, bouncing up toward Leo DeRoscher, coaching at first.
706
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:25,000
One strike, one ball.
707
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,000
One strike, one ball.
708
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,000
Two men out on the fifth.
709
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,000
American Lakers leading one to nothing.
710
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:42,000
Lee pitches a curve ball outside for ball two.
711
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:46,000
It's two balls and one strike.
712
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,000
And the motion for the next one.
713
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,000
Foul right over our heads up here.
714
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:56,000
No change in the count, two and two.
715
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,000
Two strikes, two balls.
716
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:05,000
Two men gone, bases empty.
717
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,000
Ready to go, the arm goes up.
718
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,000
Here's the pitch, fast ball inside, nearly hit him.
719
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,000
Stayed up there a long while to see whether that pitch was going to break.
720
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,000
It didn't.
721
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,000
That high hard one inside, right under his chin.
722
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Three and two, what'll it be?
723
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,000
There's the motion, the pitch.
724
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,000
It's a bounding ball over the pitcher's head, coming in fast as Bobby Doerr.
725
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,000
The throw is too late.
726
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,000
An in field hit, a leg hit for Archie Vaughan.
727
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Slow high bounder over Lee's head.
728
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,000
Doerr rushed in from second base, had to take it.
729
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:42,000
Near the edge of the grass, coming in, and the runner beat the throw by ten feet.
730
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,000
That's the third National League hit.
731
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:50,000
We're getting a pinch hitter, I believe, for Linus Fry.
732
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:54,000
Brooklyn Dodger, apparently by the uniform.
733
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,000
Herman.
734
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:01,000
Bill Herman batting for Fry.
735
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,000
Right handed batter.
736
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Two out, one on.
737
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,000
Curve on the outside corner.
738
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:20,000
Called strike.
739
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,000
One strike on Herman.
740
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,000
Fast ball high.
741
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:35,000
Ball one, one on one.
742
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,000
Billy Herman, former Cub, now with the Dodgers.
743
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,000
Lee pitches way outside.
744
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,000
Dickie had to leap out in the left hand batter's box for that,
745
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,000
and the ball apparently slipped out of the lefty's hand.
746
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Bill is carrying it back to him, now tosses it to him.
747
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:55,000
With a word of encouragement, comes back behind the plate to count as two balls and one strike.
748
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:56,000
Tying runners on first.
749
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,000
Marky Vaughn, two men out.
750
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,000
Billy Herman batting for Linus Fry.
751
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,000
Lee pitches.
752
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,000
Herman swings and misses.
753
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Strike two.
754
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,000
Missed the fast ball that was outside.
755
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:09,000
I think he was looking for a curve.
756
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Thought that would bend into him.
757
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:15,000
But it didn't.
758
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,000
Two strikes, two balls.
759
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,000
There's the stretch, the pitch.
760
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,000
And there goes a drive safely into center field.
761
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,000
DiMaggio takes it on the first hop.
762
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,000
A single for Herman.
763
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,000
Advancing Vaughn to second.
764
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,000
The tying runners on second.
765
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:36,000
Al Lopez, the catcher coming up.
766
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:49,000
That's the fourth National League hit.
767
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:54,000
One hit off Beller.
768
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,000
Free off Lee.
769
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,000
First pitch to Lopez, a right hand batter, a little guy.
770
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:03,000
High outside, ball one.
771
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:18,000
Dickie carries the ball out again, has a word or two with his pitcher.
772
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,000
Runners on second and first, one away.
773
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,000
Now Dickie's back there again.
774
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,000
He's out of that couch.
775
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,000
Lee pitches and there's a bounder to Sabbath.
776
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,000
The third grabs it up, runs over and touches the bag.
777
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:33,000
Ahead of Vaughn coming in for a fourth play at third.
778
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:54,000
Ending the first half of the fifth inning with no runs, two hits, no errors, two left on base.
779
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Now here we go for the recap of that inning, the fifth.
780
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Johnny Myers first up, grounded to York for an unassisted put off.
781
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Elliott grounded off third to first.
782
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,000
Vaughn singles to door.
783
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,000
Herman batted for fry and singles the center.
784
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,000
Vaughn stopping at second.
785
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:16,000
Lopez forced Vaughn at third.
786
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,000
Sabbath unassisted, no run, two hits, no error, two left.
787
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,000
Now we have a change in the umpires.
788
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:28,000
There's probably a change in some of the lineups too, I don't know.
789
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:37,000
Herman, who batted for fry, is now playing second base for the National League.
790
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:41,000
And Bucky Walters pitching for the National League.
791
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:45,000
The score is one nothing in favor of the American League.
792
01:09:45,000 --> 01:10:08,000
The American All-Stars coming up for their turn at bat in the fifth.
793
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:12,000
Herman playing second, Walters pitching.
794
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,000
And we'll get a change in these umpires, they'll move around.
795
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Finnelli, I believe, is coming in behind the plate.
796
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:28,000
Finnelli of the National League, he's exchanging with the way it looks now with Bill Summers,
797
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,000
who did the first four and a half innings behind the plate.
798
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:38,000
Bill is going out to third, take up his position along that foul line behind third.
799
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Finnelli coming in behind the plate.
800
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Jordan taking care of the second base assignment.
801
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:53,000
And Bill Grieve of the American League, the first base assignment.
802
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:57,000
So there's National League umpires behind the plate and at second.
803
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,000
American League umpires at third and first.
804
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Joe Cronin first up, face Bucky Walters, swings and misses the first pitch for strike one.
805
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,000
And the motion for the next one.
806
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:23,000
Fast ball inside.
807
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:29,000
One strike, one ball.
808
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:33,000
Cronin fouls up in the third deck.
809
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,000
Strike two, two strikes, one ball.
810
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,000
Finnelli stands off with a right-hand batter up there.
811
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:45,000
Stands a bit as we're facing the diamond.
812
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,000
Stands a bit to the left of the catcher and crotches right down with him.
813
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,000
You really can see those pitches come in there.
814
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,000
Another foul back upstairs.
815
01:11:53,000 --> 01:12:02,000
In other words, with a right-hand batter up, Finnelli, the plate umpire, is virtually between the catcher and the batter.
816
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:07,000
Not out in front of the catcher, I understand, but he really gets a good look at that plate.
817
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:13,000
And he's right down there with him and Cronin fouls another one high up on the roof behind the stand.
818
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:28,000
Two strikes and one ball.
819
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,000
Cronin first up facing Bucky Walters, the right-hander.
820
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:37,000
Cincinnati Red, Joe fouls another one back in the screen.
821
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:46,000
Passing a new ball out each time, this one goes out to Stan Hack, the third baseman, giving it a going over, then passing it back to Walters.
822
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Cronin flied to right field the first time up.
823
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,000
Walters looks him over, begins that motion.
824
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,000
Here she comes.
825
01:12:55,000 --> 01:13:03,000
Fast ball for a called third strike and Cronin lets off one yell, but quickly stops and starts over to the dugout.
826
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:10,000
It looked like a pretty fair pitch to me, right in there in the inside corner of fast sidearm heave.
827
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:14,000
Bob Felti for a called third strike.
828
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,000
Rudy York coming up.
829
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:26,000
Rudy flied to center field, a towering fly the first time up on the first pitch.
830
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:34,000
All right, one away.
831
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,000
York up there, strike.
832
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,000
He says he swung.
833
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,000
Pompaya Pennelli says he swung.
834
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:42,000
Rudy says he didn't.
835
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,000
He's out barking at Babe.
836
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,000
Babe says it's a strike, Rudolph.
837
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:50,000
It was a nice curved ball that did miss the outside corner and a bit low.
838
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,000
It was breaking off, a nice jugg.
839
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,000
One strike and the next pitch.
840
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Ball low.
841
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,000
One strike, one ball.
842
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:04,000
Seems like an American League crowd out here.
843
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,000
The way they're yelling, it's a good ball game.
844
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Whoever you're for, ball two, low and inside.
845
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,000
Two balls, one strike, one out.
846
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,000
The ball is empty, one nothing in favor of the American Leagueers, fifth inning.
847
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:28,000
York at the plate, hits the next pitch, a single in the left field.
848
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:32,000
Low line drive into left, here comes the throw.
849
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:40,000
The shortstop and York is on first.
850
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:45,000
One man out, Rudy on first, Bill Dickey the batter.
851
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:48,000
That's the third American League hit.
852
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:52,000
Russell Travis, Ted Williams have doubles, York a single.
853
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:55,000
Derringer worked two innings, gave up one run, two hits.
854
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Struck out one and walked none.
855
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:01,000
One gone, York on first.
856
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Dickey up there in the left hand batter's box, first pitch.
857
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:07,000
There's a spin going down the left field line.
858
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:10,000
York is stopping at second.
859
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:15,000
Dickey rounds first and now he comes back when he sees that York pulled up at second.
860
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Pretty fast feeling out there by Terry Moore and they know that Terry has a good arm also.
861
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:29,000
And Artie Fletcher coaching at third, knowing Moore's arm and York's rather lack of speed.
862
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:32,000
Rudy has no flash on the bases.
863
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Held him at second.
864
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Dickey had made a wide turn of first and was halfway down to second.
865
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:41,000
Had York not been ahead of him, it would have been an easy double of course for Dickey.
866
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:51,000
But they had to play this safe, chances are York would have been thrown out trying for third.
867
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Lee is batting for himself.
868
01:15:54,000 --> 01:16:01,000
Lefty Lee, the American League pitcher, bats him as he throws him, follows the first pitch, strike one.
869
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:06,000
One man out, scores one nothing in favor of the American Lakers, fifth inning.
870
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:10,000
York is on second, Dickey on first.
871
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:17,000
Each team has now made four hits.
872
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:22,000
Waters takes the stretch, there's the clutch, and the pitch, a swinging strike.
873
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:30,000
Lefty went for one that was low and outside, a fast ball.
874
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:35,000
Two strikes, no ball.
875
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:41,000
The high stretch, the clutch, he pitches, Lee fouls right over our heads.
876
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:49,000
New ball tossed in the game, count two strikes, no ball.
877
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Finnelli moving over now with a left hand batter up there.
878
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:56,000
He's to the right of catcher Lopez, squats down with him to get this pitch.
879
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:03,000
And Lee drives the fly ball to Reeser in left center, a nice running catch, and York is going for third.
880
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:08,000
Here comes the throw, a good throw but too late, and York takes third after the catch.
881
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,000
Dickey remaining on first.
882
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:15,000
Reeser ran well over into left center for that one, a well-hit ball.
883
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:23,000
Two men are off, and Bobby Doerr comes up, has popped to second base, grounded to second.
884
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:32,000
Right-handed batter, Doerr of the Boston Red Sox.
885
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Two gone.
886
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:42,000
Shortstop Bond playing rather deep for Bob.
887
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:52,000
Walters pitches, fast ball on the inside corner, letter high for a called strike.
888
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:56,000
Scores one nothing, remember, in favor of the American Lakers.
889
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:05,000
Two out, two on, Doerr fouls, going into the stands out left field way, strike two.
890
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:08,000
New ball tossed in, they're passing it around the infield.
891
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Lopez to Mize, Mize to Herman at second.
892
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:16,000
Herman decides not to go any further with it, just tosses it back to Bucky Walters.
893
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:21,000
Bucky is doing a little juggling with the rosin bag, dusting even the back of his hand.
894
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,000
Standing there calmly, getting the sign.
895
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:28,000
Lopez down on the crouch, now Al comes up, there's the clutch.
896
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Here's the pitch to Doerr, a swinging strike, and thus ends the fifth.
897
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:46,000
No run, two hits, no error, two left.
898
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,000
And that gave Walters two strikeouts in that inning.
899
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,000
The American Lakers also made two hits.
900
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,000
The American first up was called out on strike.
901
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,000
York single to left.
902
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:59,000
Dickey also single to left.
903
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,000
York stopping at second.
904
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:07,000
Lee hit a long fly to center fielder Reeser, who made the catch over in left center.
905
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:12,000
And then York took third after the catch, and Doerr struck out to end the fifth.
906
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,000
The score's still one nothing in favor of the American Lakers.
907
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,000
Each team has made four hits.
908
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:27,000
The American Lakers have had three left on base, the Nationals two.
909
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:35,000
And it's Joe Gordon playing second base now for the American Lakers.
910
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,000
Lou Budrow playing short.
911
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:43,000
And I, of Cleveland, and I guess that's the only change.
912
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,000
Yep.
913
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:50,000
Joe Gordon playing second base, Budrow playing shortstop.
914
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:58,000
Gordon of the Yankees, and Lou Budrow, the flashy shortstop of the Cleveland Indians.
915
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:10,000
As the National Lakers come up in the sixth inning.
916
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,000
First man up, sucked that first one down the line.
917
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:19,000
And he's going for third, going the left field line, and he's going for two bases on that pitch.
918
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:26,000
It's Bucky Walters, the pitcher.
919
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,000
That's the way to hit him when you're pitching.
920
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:33,000
The tying run on second on Walters' double.
921
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:41,000
Down that left field line on the first pitch.
922
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,000
Third double in this ball game.
923
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Walters on second with a tying run.
924
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
Stan Haack coming up.
925
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,000
Left-handed batter.
926
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,000
Lee tows the rubber. There's the stretch.
927
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,000
The clutch and the pitch.
928
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,000
It's bunted toward third.
929
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:03,000
Lee fields the ball, whips it to York, a sacrifice, advancing Walters to third.
930
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:15,000
One man out on the tying run on third.
931
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:32,000
The batter coming up for the National Lakers is Terry Moore, right-hander who has popped to third, slide to right field.
932
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,000
He goes into a full windup.
933
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:37,000
The infield playing shallow, a long fly to left.
934
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:43,000
Williams backing up, takes it for the putout, and here comes Walters, streaking home with a tying run.
935
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,000
Williams shot a nice throw in there.
936
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:50,000
A perfect peg, but he had to throw clear from the barrier in left field.
937
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:54,000
So it's all even, boys and girls, at one run.
938
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,000
The base is empty and two men out in the sixth inning.
939
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Lucky Walters, Lucky Walters the pitcher for the Nationals, open with a double, took third on packed sacrifice, lead to York,
940
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:14,000
then came home on Terry Moore's long lift to Williams and left.
941
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:18,000
Heath Reesor is up, hits the first pitch, a high fly to right field.
942
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,000
Jeff Heath is waiting on her, looking up at the sun.
943
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:24,000
He drops it for a two-base error.
944
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:27,000
Heath dropped that one for a two-base error.
945
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:33,000
He was under it for plenty of time, looking up at that sun, and I guess apparently lost it at the last minute.
946
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,000
The ball came into his glove and then popped out.
947
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:39,000
The first error of the ballgame.
948
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,000
The score tied at one run.
949
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Reesor on second, 20 miles up.
950
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Big left hand hitting first base, and the fly to center field and ground to New York.
951
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:00,000
Johnny's in there swinging.
952
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:13,000
Lee pitches a curve, clips the outside corner across his knees for a called strike.
953
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,000
And the stretch for the next one.
954
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Swinging strike, going for a low one.
955
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,000
Two strikes, no balls, Johnny Myers at the plate.
956
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Heath Reesor on second, the score tied at one run.
957
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,000
Sixth inning of this all-star game.
958
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:37,000
Lefty Lee pitches a fast ball, a little low, over the plate but a little low,
959
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,000
and Lee was on his way to the bench, and so was Dickie.
960
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,000
Thought he had him on that one.
961
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,000
Pumpire Pennelly says, no, it's a ball, boys.
962
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:49,000
Get back there and go to work.
963
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,000
Two strikes, one ball.
964
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,000
There's the clutch.
965
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:54,000
The pitch.
966
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:58,000
Myers hits a funny roller to third baseman Travis, comes up with the ball, whips it over to York.
967
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:02,000
Johnny is out, and that ends the first half of the sixth inning.
968
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:06,000
And the score is tied at one run on Bucky Walters' double,
969
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:09,000
opening the inning on the first pitch.
970
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:12,000
Sacrificed to third by Hacks.
971
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:20,000
Lee to York was the play, and then came home on Terry Moore's long high fly to Williams in deep left.
972
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:22,000
Reeser then ran two bases.
973
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,000
When Heath dropped his fly in right field,
974
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:28,000
Myers ended the National League half of the inning,
975
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:33,000
grounding out third to first, Travis to York.
976
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:42,000
One run, one hit, one error, one left on base.
977
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,000
Score all square at one run.
978
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:47,000
The American Lakers coming up in the sixth inning.
979
01:24:47,000 --> 01:25:02,000
This is WWJ and W-4-5-D.
980
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:09,000
Enos Slaughter playing right field for the National Lakers.
981
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:12,000
Buck Travis first up for the American Lakers.
982
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:13,000
First pitch.
983
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:17,000
A line drive, an easy line drive, the second baseman, Billy Harmon.
984
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:23,000
One out.
985
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:32,000
DiMaggio coming up.
986
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:38,000
Joe hit a long drive, center field, second time at bat, first time fouled out to third baseman Hacks.
987
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:48,000
Leans away from a fast inside, Walters pitch for ball one.
988
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:55,000
And the next one, inside and low, ball two.
989
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,000
Two balls, no strikes.
990
01:25:58,000 --> 01:25:59,000
One man out in the sixth.
991
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:00,000
The score tied at one run.
992
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,000
DiMaggio at the plate.
993
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:06,000
Joe takes a called strike, started the swing, let it go.
994
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:13,000
It was down around his knees and it's a called strike.
995
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:24,000
Walters starts his wind up, he pitches inside.
996
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:28,000
Buckie turns around to his back to the plate, rubbing that ball a bit.
997
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,000
Satisfied with it now, his arm goes up.
998
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:33,000
Here's the pitch.
999
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,000
Ball four.
1000
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:41,000
Almost a wild pitch, nearly got past Lopez and DiMaggio walks.
1001
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:48,000
First base on balls off Walters and the second base on balls issued in this game.
1002
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:54,000
Whitlow Wyatt walked one, Derringer walked none, Feller and Lee have walked none.
1003
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,000
Williams coming up.
1004
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,000
DiMaggio on first.
1005
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Williams doubled the first time or the second time at bat drove in Travis for the lone American League run.
1006
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:13,000
Ball one outside to this left-hander.
1007
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:16,000
And the stretch for the next one.
1008
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:19,000
Williams fouls to Mervin Shea coaching at first.
1009
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Took it on the first pop, strike one, ball one.
1010
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:36,000
One ball, one strike.
1011
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:40,000
The stretch, the clutch, and the pitch.
1012
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:43,000
Ball two, it was fast and outside.
1013
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,000
Fouled belt high.
1014
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:50,000
Lopez all set, cocking his arm for a throw should DiMaggio break for second.
1015
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,000
Joe was on first, one out, the score tied at one run.
1016
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:56,000
This is the sixth inning.
1017
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,000
Walters is set, he pitches.
1018
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:02,000
Williams flies to center fielder Reeser.
1019
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:07,000
Pete takes it for the put out and DiMaggio hustles back from down around second.
1020
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:11,000
Two away.
1021
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:14,000
Jeff Heath coming up.
1022
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:21,000
Grounded to third and struck out.
1023
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,000
Grounded to second rather and struck out.
1024
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:28,000
He hit into a double play the first time up. Second time up was called out on strike.
1025
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:31,000
Bucky takes his stretch, he's ready, he pitches to this left-hander.
1026
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:42,000
A fast ball high and outside, ball one.
1027
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:43,000
And the next pitch.
1028
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:48,000
In the dirt, nice picking by Al Lopez, the catcher, digging that one right out of the dirt,
1029
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:56,000
causing the dust to blow all over Pennelly's nice blue uniform.
1030
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:02,000
Two balls, no strikes.
1031
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,000
Slaughter playing Heath very deep out there in right field.
1032
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,000
Reeser playing dead away in center field.
1033
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:11,000
Here's the pitch, Jeff swings and misses, there's a throw down to first base.
1034
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,000
And DiMaggio gets back safely.
1035
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:16,000
Maia's taking the peg in front of the bag.
1036
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:20,000
He had a big lead that time with a count, two balls.
1037
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:24,000
Looked as though the old hit and run was on there, but Heath missed.
1038
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:27,000
Two balls, one strike.
1039
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:29,000
And the stretch for the next one.
1040
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:34,000
Heath fouls out left field way, Hack is going for it, I don't think he can get to it.
1041
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,000
Nope, the ball drops in the ground.
1042
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:42,000
Those of you familiar with Briggs Stadium drops out there in the Tiger bullpen.
1043
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:49,000
Heath picked it up and backhanded it into the crowd for a souvenir with Bill Summers right beside him.
1044
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:56,000
Giving Hack quite a round of applause for that friendly gesture.
1045
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:01,000
I remember a day when Hack was on third and it didn't look like a friendly gesture out here
1046
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:05,000
when Tommy Bridges had to go to work and how he did that day in that World Series.
1047
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:10,000
Two and two, the count on Heath, the pitch misses the outside corner.
1048
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:16,000
Ball three, three and two.
1049
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:23,000
Two men out on Medwick on, on DiMaggio on first.
1050
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:28,000
There goes Joe, here's the pitch outside, ball four.
1051
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:33,000
Heath rambles down the first, second base on balls off waters in this inning.
1052
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:37,000
DiMaggio moves to second, two men are out.
1053
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:42,000
And Lou Budroll who has just replaced Croninot shortstop.
1054
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:53,000
The Cleveland flashy shortstop is in there, bats them right handed.
1055
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:58,000
Lou, very popular around here, I guess all over the circuit, a grand kid and a great ball player.
1056
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:08,000
First pitch low, ball one.
1057
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:12,000
Two men on, two men out, DiMaggio on second, Heath on first.
1058
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Walters pitches high, ball two.
1059
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:27,000
Two balls, no strike.
1060
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,000
Lopez carries the ball halfway out to Walters.
1061
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:34,000
Now he's tossing it to him.
1062
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:38,000
Scored tight at one run, sixth inning, two men out.
1063
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:42,000
Runners on second and first.
1064
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:45,000
Budroll keeps waving that bat, he's in that crouch.
1065
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:50,000
Walters pitches and Lou lines a single over second, a line drive in the center field.
1066
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Then it's missed by Reeser trying to pick it up on the dead run.
1067
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:59,000
DiMaggio has scored and Heath is stopping at third.
1068
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:02,000
Art Fletcher held Heath at third.
1069
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:08,000
Budroll went all the way to second when Reeser trying for a one hand pick up of this line drive in center field.
1070
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:14,000
Overran the ball and it permitted Budroll to take second.
1071
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:16,000
Scored as a single and an error for Reeser.
1072
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:19,000
DiMaggio coming home on the hit.
1073
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:23,000
The run batted in for Lou and Heath pulled up at third.
1074
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:26,000
The score is 2-1 in favor of the American Lakers.
1075
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,000
Rudy York coming to the plate.
1076
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:31,000
York has one hit, two times at bat.
1077
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:32,000
Single to left.
1078
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:44,000
Walters pitches a high, fast one inside for ball one.
1079
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:45,000
And the next one.
1080
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:50,000
Backs him away with another high, fast one inside. Ball two.
1081
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:55,000
Two balls, no strikes.
1082
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:58,000
Two men out, second and third occupied.
1083
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:00,000
Walters using a full wind up.
1084
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:03,000
He's backed Rudy away from the plate with a couple of pitches.
1085
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:06,000
Now his arm goes up for the next one.
1086
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:11,000
York swings at a high curve. Strike one.
1087
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,000
Two balls, one strike.
1088
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:16,000
Bucky shakes himself out there on the slab.
1089
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,000
Glances over toward third.
1090
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:19,000
Begins his wind up.
1091
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:22,000
The pitch and Rudy hits a long high fly.
1092
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:27,000
The left field. Reeser is under it and takes it for the out.
1093
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,000
Heath coming over from center field into left.
1094
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,000
Taking the ball about 350 feet away from the plate.
1095
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Plenty high in the air.
1096
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,000
Not enough carry against that wind.
1097
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:42,000
That ends the sixth inning with one run.
1098
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,000
One hit.
1099
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:46,000
One error.
1100
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:50,000
And two left on base.
1101
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:52,000
Travis, first up.
1102
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,000
Line to second baseman Herman.
1103
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:56,000
DiMaggio walked.
1104
01:33:56,000 --> 01:34:00,000
Williams, fly to Reeser in center.
1105
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,000
Heath also walked.
1106
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,000
Budrill lined a single over second in the center field.
1107
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,000
Scoring DiMaggio.
1108
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:10,000
Advancing Heath.
1109
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:17,000
To third. Heath took third and Budrill second when Reeser fumbled a hit.
1110
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:19,000
Heath being charged with an error.
1111
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,000
Then York.
1112
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:24,000
Slide high to Reeser.
1113
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,000
For the third out.
1114
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,000
Sid Hudson. Big right hander.
1115
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,000
Now pitching.
1116
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:33,000
Jimmy Fox of Boston.
1117
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,000
Playing first base.
1118
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:38,000
Dominic DiMaggio of the Boston Red Sox.
1119
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:43,000
Playing right field for the American Lakers.
1120
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:55,000
And this is the first time the two DiMaggios have played together since they came up in organized ball.
1121
01:34:55,000 --> 01:35:04,000
We hope they don't quarrel out there right in center field.
1122
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:09,000
Going into the seventh inning. Scoring out 2-1 in favor.
1123
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:11,000
For the American Lakers.
1124
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:22,000
Now we get these changes.
1125
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:29,000
Hudson starts his windup. He's a fastball pitcher and that's hit right back into left field for a single.
1126
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:33,000
Fumbled by Williams. He falls down, comes up again and he goes an extra base.
1127
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:38,000
Archie Vaughn.
1128
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:42,000
Enos Slaughter, first man up.
1129
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:47,000
For the National Lakers. Pickled that first pitch of Sid Hudson.
1130
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:50,000
For the Washington Senators, a single in the left.
1131
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:56,000
Then when Williams slipped out there and fell down, Slaughter took an extra base on the error.
1132
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,000
Hanging runners again on second. Nobody out.
1133
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:04,000
Archie Vaughn coming up. Left handed batter.
1134
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:07,000
Woodrow keeping the runner close to second.
1135
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:16,000
And just as Hudson was ready to pitch, Vaughn playing a little deep baseball there, backed out of the batter's box.
1136
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:20,000
Bill Dickey has gone out with the ball to talk to Sid.
1137
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:34,000
It's the kids' big moment.
1138
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:38,000
Now the conference is broken up.
1139
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:55,000
We're set to go. There's the stretch. And the pitch. Curveball inside low. Ball one.
1140
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:59,000
One ball. No strikes. Nobody out. Slaughter on second.
1141
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:03,000
There's a drive to right field. It's carrying high up and it's a home run.
1142
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:08,000
The first home run of the ball game. Here comes some straw hats.
1143
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:11,000
And it's Archie Vaughn of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
1144
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:14,000
Tomoring in the upper deck of the right field stands.
1145
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:17,000
Over 315 feet away.
1146
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:20,000
And putting the National Lakers back in the lead.
1147
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:24,000
As he throws Enos Slaughter across ahead of him.
1148
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:31,000
It's now 3-2 in favor of the National League and nobody out in the seventh inning.
1149
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:34,000
It's going to really tickle that Hudson fast pitch.
1150
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:41,000
Riding high up in there.
1151
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:47,000
This brings up Billy Harmon.
1152
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:52,000
He batted for Fry in the fifth and singled and replaced Fry at second.
1153
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,000
Socks a fast one down the third base line.
1154
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:58,000
Rolling out into the left field corner. There's an extra base hit.
1155
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:02,000
Being grabbed by one of the fans reaching out of the stands out there.
1156
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:05,000
A two base hit.
1157
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:13,000
And these National Lakers seem to care very kindly for the pitching.
1158
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:15,000
Flipped in here by Sid Hudson.
1159
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:19,000
A single, a home run and double. The first three men to face him.
1160
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:30,000
They're out in the seventh.
1161
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:35,000
Jimmy Foxx playing first base now goes over and talks to Hudson.
1162
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:40,000
Coming into the batter's box. Right hand hitting catcher Al Lopez.
1163
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:43,000
Sid pitches from the shoulder. Al Buntz out in front of the plate.
1164
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:56,000
Dickie grabs it up and throws to Gordon covering first for the put out a sacrifice hit.
1165
01:38:56,000 --> 01:39:00,000
And Bucky Waters. His turn to bat.
1166
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:06,000
He did all right the only time he's been up by talking a double down the left field line.
1167
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:08,000
I don't know whether he, no he's not going to hit.
1168
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:12,000
Somebody else coming up a Brooklyn Dodger.
1169
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:20,000
Leo DeRosier has a little contact with him.
1170
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:25,000
Number six it's Joe Ducky, Wucky Medwick.
1171
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:30,000
Ducky Medwick batting for Waters.
1172
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:34,000
Ducky had fun out here one time in the World Series.
1173
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,000
When a member of the cards.
1174
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:50,000
First pitch right handed batter breaks over for a called strike.
1175
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:52,000
And the next one.
1176
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,000
A sock on the ground, a shortstop.
1177
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:58,000
Budrow bluffs the runner back to third then rifles the ball over to Foxx.
1178
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:07,000
Retiring Medwick a swell play by Lou Budrow at Cleveland shortstop.
1179
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:20,000
He held Herman on third and then whips the ball over to Foxx ahead of the runner for the second out.
1180
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:26,000
Dan Hack coming up left handed batter with one hit and two official times at bat.
1181
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:31,000
Herman on third the score three two in favor of the National Lakers seventh inning.
1182
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:44,000
Hudson starts his wind up pitches a fast ball low ball one.
1183
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:48,000
Dicky down there in the crouch calls for the pitch now he's straightening up.
1184
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:54,000
Sid delivers a curve it's bunted a surprise bunt but it's foul over in the Tiger dugout.
1185
01:40:54,000 --> 01:41:01,000
Last where the American Lakers are huddling today behind third base and the count on Hack is one and one.
1186
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:10,000
Score is three two in favor of the National League seventh inning.
1187
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:14,000
One strike one ball that gets the sign he starts his wind up.
1188
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:21,000
He pitches high over Hacks head fastball and plenty fast.
1189
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:26,000
So the count is two balls and one strike the rocher coaching it first says now you're ready kid.
1190
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:33,000
Pick him up meaning stock one out there and drive in this runner on third Billy Herman.
1191
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:44,000
There's the motion the pitch right in there curveball Belfi for a called strike.
1192
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:46,000
Count is two and two.
1193
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:49,000
Two men out and Herman on third.
1194
01:41:49,000 --> 01:42:02,000
Hudson gets the sign he starts his motion he pitches a fast curve outside ball three and strike two.
1195
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:11,000
Three balls two strikes the motion and the pitch is inside a little high for ball four.
1196
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:19,000
Hack walks down the first and this brings Terry Moore to the plate.
1197
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:30,000
Terry has popped the shortstop slide to right and a long fly to left field drove in the first National League run in that sixth inning.
1198
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:38,000
Right handed batter runners on first and third more swings and misses the first pitch Hudson dropping a curve in there pretty low.
1199
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:51,000
It's waiting around now he's all set.
1200
01:42:51,000 --> 01:43:14,000
Mickey out of the crowd here's the pitch foul pop deck out first base way rolling around on the roof strike two two strikes no ball.
1201
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:22,000
No ball thoughts in there Hudson pitches a curve outside ball one.
1202
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,000
The count is two and one.
1203
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:27,000
Herman on third hack on first more at the plate.
1204
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:35,000
There's the pitch and he swings and misses a fast from the inside close to his thumbs to strike three.
1205
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:44,000
So that ends the seventh inning for the national leaguers in which they jumped in the lead by scoring two runs made three hits.
1206
01:43:44,000 --> 01:44:01,000
Had two men left on base and the American leaguers made one error started out with Enos Slaughter facing Sid Hudson the third American League pitcher single to left on the first pitch and took an extra base when Williams fumbled a hit.
1207
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:12,000
Archie Vaughn homered in the upper deck of the right field stands calling behind slaughter to put the national leaguers in the lead three to two.
1208
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:18,000
Herman doubled down the left field line Lopez sacrificing the third.
1209
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:33,000
Dickie to Gordon who covered first medway battered for Walters grounded out short to first what role the shortstop holding Herman on third while throwing the runner up.
1210
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:48,000
What and more struck out. Now we have the fourth National League pitcher coming in. Todd Patel of Chicago.
1211
01:44:48,000 --> 01:45:09,000
The Chicago Cubs. Water. Worked two innings gave up three hits one run.
1212
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:30,000
Look out to walk to. That's always pitching for the Chicago Cubs pitching Harry Danning of the New York Giants now catching for the national leaguers and Charlie Keller of the New York Yankees.
1213
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:48,000
Will undoubtedly bat after Bill Dickie bat for the pitcher Hudson. Dickie is first up. Bill has one hit and two times a bat and Keller is waiting here in the batter's ring strike called on Dickie Paso a right hander playing that one over the outside corner to Bill.
1214
01:45:48,000 --> 01:46:01,000
Score three two in favor of the National League seventh inning. Todd pitches high enough that football one one and one.
1215
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:21,000
Flexes his arm a bit and pitches over that outside corner knee high to Dickie for the call strike two strikes and one ball.
1216
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:32,000
Two and one. There's the wind up the pitch outside ball to two and two Harry the horse behind the plate.
1217
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:43,000
Big Harry Danning. Good catcher good hitter. Two and two the count on Dickie. A couple of pretty good catchers right there at the plate now.
1218
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:54,000
Dickie fouls into the dirt. Right on top of that pitch and I think it hit Bill on the toes have bounced up. He's leaning on the bat out there.
1219
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:59,000
The second time he's been hit on that right foot.
1220
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:08,000
Limping around as he comes slowly back to the left hand batter's box.
1221
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Bill time is up as he's standing there talking to umpire babe finale.
1222
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:23,000
All right I guess we're set he's back in there the count two and two.
1223
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:28,000
Herman is playing very deep for Dickie way out on the grass second base position.
1224
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:40,000
That's all starts his wind up he pitches Dickie line third baseman Hacks and going in the air and spitting that ball as he was riding over behind third base.
1225
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:46,000
Robbing Dickie of a two base hit and Charlie Keller will bat for Hudson.
1226
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:57,000
Charlie Keller of the New York Yankees left handed batter now batting for Sid Hudson.
1227
01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:03,000
Hudson worked one inning.
1228
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:06,000
Gave up two runs.
1229
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:09,000
Three hits.
1230
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:11,000
Walk none walk one.
1231
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:29,000
Look out one.
1232
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:31,000
One man out base is empty.
1233
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:42,000
Strike two call finale raising his right arm at that's all found the outside corner around the batter's knees.
1234
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:46,000
Two strikes and nothing on Charlie batting for Hudson.
1235
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,000
Standing calls for the next pitch here it comes.
1236
01:48:49,000 --> 01:49:03,000
Ball a little high outside two strikes one ball.
1237
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:12,000
And the wind up here's the pitch Keller fouls back.
1238
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:19,000
But so getting a new ball gives it a going over.
1239
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:23,000
Wipes his pitching hand on his trousers.
1240
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:37,000
Those pretty light blue trousers with the white socks where that road uniform now he's in motion here's the pitch outside fastball up around the batter's eyes ball to two and two.
1241
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:49,000
And the score is three to in favor the national Lakers seventh inning with one man out base is empty.
1242
01:49:49,000 --> 01:50:01,000
So taking plenty of time he does a lot of fiddling around now he's on the rubber and the arm goes up for the pitch it's coming and Keller struck out swinging going for the fastball on the outside corner down around his knees.
1243
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:04,000
Joe Gordon.
1244
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:18,000
New York Yankees now playing second base and coming to bat for the first time in this game.
1245
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:34,000
Who gone in the seventh Joe steps up in that right hand batter's box he swings and misses a high fast pitch for strike one.
1246
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:49,000
One strike on Joseph and the next one little high outside for Paul one one and one.
1247
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:52,000
One strike one ball.
1248
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:56,000
I thought taking his time to out got a one run lead to protect.
1249
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:03,000
He pitches low and inside the Gordon ball to.
1250
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:08,000
Two balls and one strike.
1251
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:15,000
Clear out against the screen and left field nearly against the screen is Terry Moore left fielder.
1252
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:24,000
He knows Gordon hits them out that way when he hits them and he filed that pitch off for strike two and account is two and two.
1253
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:33,000
Two strikes two balls two out bases empty three two in favor of the National League.
1254
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:48,000
National League has made eight hits they're supposed to be the club without the power while the American League has made five and there's a grounder to shortstop Archie Vaughan comes up with it pegs it to my eyes at first and Gordon is out and that ends the seven.
1255
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:50,000
No run.
1256
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,000
No hit.
1257
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:54,000
No error three up and three away.
1258
01:51:54,000 --> 01:52:05,000
Dickie line to hack third baseman for a leaping one hand catch Keller batted for Hudson and struck out and Gordon grounded out short to first.
1259
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:10,000
Now we get the land they fought.
1260
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:16,000
American League pitcher and it looks like lefty Edgar Smith.
1261
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:38,000
The White Sox Frankie Hayes of the Philadelphia Athletics going behind the plate.
1262
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:51,000
Edgar Smith left hander used to be with the Philadelphia Athletics before going to Jimmy Dyches Chicago Club and Hayes with his battery mate there.
1263
01:52:51,000 --> 01:53:12,000
So they ought to have a whole lot of trouble getting signs fixed up.
1264
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:26,000
The score is three to in favor of the National League this is WWJ and W forty five D Detroit bringing you this nine 12 star classic from Briggs Stadium.
1265
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:35,000
National League is out in front three to two going into the eighth inning first man up will be Pete Reiser.
1266
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:43,000
The Brooklyn Dodgers better be that no hit three times at bat.
1267
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:50,000
He's a leading National League hitter.
1268
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:54,000
Many a left hander right or a right hand batter.
1269
01:53:54,000 --> 01:54:02,000
It's first pitch is popped up into short left field but going out for it falls down and the ball drops foul.
1270
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:09,000
There's been a good deal of skidding around in this field today on account of the rain yesterday.
1271
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:31,000
The couple of heavy showers we had the infield is in excellent shape but apparently the outfield is a little bit skiddy because earlier in the game if you've been in all the day you'll remember that right fielder Bill Nicholson of the National League fell down and right out there causing a line drive at Ted Williams.
1272
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:43,000
The skid over his head for a two base not Ted Williams has also fallen in left field and Budrow would have made a catch of this foul ball had he not slipped and fallen.
1273
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:46,000
Count is one and one on research.
1274
01:54:46,000 --> 01:55:08,000
Hayes comes out of the crouch Smith pitches research swings at a ball that hit the dirt in front of the plate. That's how much drop Smitty had on that one strike to strike one ball three two in favor of the National League eighth inning.
1275
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:24,000
Oh kick that one into the dirt. Another drop that Smith was throwing in there. Reacher got just a little bit of it on the end of his bat.
1276
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:30,000
First man up in the eighth left handed batter strike called on research.
1277
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:49,000
Smith finding the outside corner with a fast pitch between the knees and the belt.
1278
01:55:49,000 --> 01:56:02,000
The man coming up is Johnny Meyers left hand batting first baseman foul takes the first pitch strike one foul that right in the Hayes.
1279
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:05,000
And the arm goes up for the next one.
1280
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:14,000
Slow curve failed to come over on a little bit inside ball one one and one.
1281
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:29,000
One strike one ball. There's the motion. My lines to right field it's going safely against the barrier bouncing away being chased out there but Dominic DiMaggio having trouble picking it up and it goes for a two base hit.
1282
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:33,000
Dominic broke toward center field as my swamp.
1283
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:39,000
But Johnny pulled the ball up toward the foul line on the opposite way from which he was going.
1284
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:46,000
For the time he could get back the ball was passed him against the barrier playing it on the rebound. He had trouble picking it up.
1285
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:49,000
It's a two base hit for Johnny.
1286
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:53,000
One man out. My zone second Enos Slaughter.
1287
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:57,000
Who opened against Hudson in the last inning and single.
1288
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:17,000
Took an extra base when Williams fumbled moves into the left hand batter's box Smith pitches a curve low and outside down in the dirt out in the right hand batter's box for ball one.
1289
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:22,000
That's the fourth to base hit my with the fourth to bagger.
1290
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:31,000
One has a home run that accounts for the extra base hit.
1291
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:38,000
One ball account to slaughter pays out of the crouch holding the myth for Smitty to see Smith pitches a beautiful curve starts at the batter.
1292
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:46,000
He backs away a little breaks over the plate felt high for a call strike.
1293
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:51,000
One man out and my zone second.
1294
01:57:51,000 --> 01:58:07,000
But he takes a stretch. He pitches a foul ball back into the stands bounces down the screen strike two on slaughter and it's two strikes and one ball.
1295
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:13,000
Leo de Rocher coaching at first giving advice to Johnny Myers the runner on second.
1296
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:27,000
Smitty comes up to the stretch down to the clutch he pitches strike three called and the Rochers talk to my eyes to watch a ball hit out there meaning left field didn't mean much there.
1297
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:34,000
The slaughter took that pitch for a call third strike and here comes our people on getting a big hand from the crowd.
1298
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:48,000
The darkies home run off said Hudson in the seventh inning with water on base put the national leaguers back in the put them in the lead two to three and they're still in there.
1299
01:58:48,000 --> 01:59:03,000
First pitch to our left hand batter ball one.
1300
01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:06,000
One ball account.
1301
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:18,000
Smitty looks him over taking plenty of time. Now there's the stretch he comes down he pitches and there's another drive that looks as though it's his second home run it is it's up in the upper deck again.
1302
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:25,000
Pickling that one in the upper deck of the right field stand to home runs for Archie Vaughn in this ballgame.
1303
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:34,000
And that puts the national leaguers out in front by two more runs to make it five to in favor of the older circuit.
1304
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:40,000
He really that ball was hit harder than the first hit further down toward center field.
1305
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:46,000
But up in the stands I would say about 350 feet away the upper deck of the right field.
1306
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:57,000
And the home runs in succession for Archie Vaughn each with a man on base. That's the time to get them to our faces empty now.
1307
01:59:57,000 --> 02:00:06,000
Billy Herman up that to hit the single and double in this many times that that first pitch ball on a right handed batter.
1308
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:23,000
Proud is still murmuring over Vaughn's second homer a smash on the ground that Jimmy Fox gives it the chest then tosses to Smith Smith misses the bag and umpire grieve at first base rules the runner safe.
1309
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:36,000
Smith is charged with the boot a bounding ball down toward second Jimmy Fox the first baseman went down and gave it the chest. In other words blocked it with his chest.
1310
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:43,000
Picked it up. Tossed to Smith covering the bag. But he got the throw in time but his foot missed the bag ahead of the runner.
1311
02:00:43,000 --> 02:01:08,000
Herman is on first on Smith's error. Two men out. Harry Danning the catcher making his first appearance at the plate right handed batter takes the first pitch a fast one on the outside corner knee high for a called strike.
1312
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:15,000
And the clutch for the next fast one outside ball one one and one.
1313
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:43,000
Gorgeous five to in favor of the National League eighth inning two men out. Herman on first. Smitty pitches low ball to two balls one strike.
1314
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:56,000
Two and one. Herman takes a lead Smith pitches Danning drops a fly ball out right field way. Joe Gordon goes out for it and takes his over his shoulder for the put out second baseman Gordon running out of the short right.
1315
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:05,000
Take that over his shoulder for the put out that ends the eight for the national league. And they've got a three run lead on the Americans.
1316
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:12,000
The American League comes to bat in the eight.
1317
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:15,000
Two runs.
1318
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:17,000
Two hits.
1319
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:20,000
One error. One left.
1320
02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:24,000
With Edgar Smith left hander pitching for the American League.
1321
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:42,000
Reaser was called out on strike. Mize doubled to right. Slaughter was called out on strike. Vaughn duplicated his hit of the previous inning by hitting a home run up in the right field pavilion scoring behind Mize.
1322
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:59,000
Herman was safe at first when Smith missed the toss from Fox for the play and Danning popped to Gordon for the third out.
1323
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:17,000
McCormick is playing first base for the National League McCormick of the Cincinnati Reds.
1324
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:38,000
Frankie Vaughn's two home runs in this all star game goes just a little bit better than any of the his predecessors. Lou Gehrig and Frankie Frisch were the only ones to hit more than one home run in the all star games in which they participated.
1325
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:53,000
Frisch getting one in thirty three and thirty four Gehrig making one in thirty six and thirty seven Vaughn got his in the same game.
1326
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:59,000
Up at the dish is Cecil Travis. Count us one and one.
1327
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:14,000
Buck has had one hit three times at bat a two base hit. He cracks a high fly foul over near the Tiger dugout toward third and it's taken by Stan Hack for the put out the National League is third baseman.
1328
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:24,000
Harry Danning the catcher was right over there with him. One out in the eighth.
1329
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:37,000
Joe DiMaggio coming up Joe has gone hit list he walked once slide deep to right center field and followed up the third base.
1330
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:55,000
Rod Pesso right hander of the Chicago Cubs now pitching and lays a fastball in their letter high for a called strike.
1331
02:04:55,000 --> 02:05:13,000
One strike on the mark the score is five to in favor of the National League is Joe fouls a pitch that will go through a runway in the second deck coming up there looks like a souvenir ball but went right down through one of the runways and the ball was traveling pretty fast.
1332
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:28,000
Maybe the good thing it did might have hurt someone who strikes and nothing. So getting a new ball from umpire finale guys his hand blows on the meat hand now rubs it dry boys are out there parking it up.
1333
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:56,000
That National League team feels pretty cocky right now. Rerun lead in the eighth inning. So starts his windup. Here's the pitch DiMaggio drives the left center field it's dropping safely and getting past research against the barrier to the 400 foot mark and DiMaggio pulls up at second a double between center fielder research and left fielder Terry Moore.
1334
02:05:56,000 --> 02:06:08,000
Two base hit for the mod. This game doesn't count however in the consecutive game record.
1335
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:27,000
54,674.
1336
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:42,000
This ball little low ball one the official attendance just came in. I don't know whether you heard it or not but it's 54,674. Nice crowd but not the largest crowd that's been in this ballpark.
1337
02:06:42,000 --> 02:07:00,000
On pitchers a curve ball that fails to find the plate for ball to broke a little inside the Williams DiMaggio on second one man out in the eighth five to in favor of the National League.
1338
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:02,000
There's the clutch.
1339
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:13,000
Foul into the dirt right at the batter's feet that going for a low breaking pitch just got on top of it and the count is two balls one strike.
1340
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:23,000
Wind freshening up a bit and blowing from the left field corner toward the right field corner coming more in just right in toward the plate from left field.
1341
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:40,000
Beautiful day for this ballgame very high sky now no clouds up there tough on the outfielders. So pitches Williams fouls another one back right to an account is two and two.
1342
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:50,000
Two strikes two balls.
1343
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:53,000
That's so taking plenty of time out there.
1344
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:57,000
He knows he has a kid up there that wants to wear the car out of this pitch.
1345
02:07:57,000 --> 02:08:07,000
Now he said, there's the clutch he pitches and Williams is called out on strike on a knee high pit.
1346
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:09,000
Two men out.
1347
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:11,000
Dominic DiMaggio coming up.
1348
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:15,000
Now here's brother and brother Joe on second Dom at the plate.
1349
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:29,000
Both of them right hand batters Joe a whole lot bigger than his brother both of them take about the same wide stance at the plate.
1350
02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:31,000
Two men out.
1351
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:36,000
Five two in favor of the National League is in the eighth inning.
1352
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:37,000
There's the clutch.
1353
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:55,000
So pitches Dominic fouls back up in the screen. Strike one.
1354
02:08:55,000 --> 02:08:59,000
One strike on Dominic.
1355
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:04,000
So looking at this new ball examining it very carefully and I seem satisfied with it.
1356
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:07,000
He's a cagey pitcher out there. He takes his time. He goes through a lot of motion.
1357
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:10,000
Now he's ready and Dominic drives a hit in the right field.
1358
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:12,000
Here comes Joe coming home.
1359
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:23,000
Joe DiMaggio scoring from second on brother Dominic's line single the right center.
1360
02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:28,000
The score is now five three.
1361
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:31,000
In favor of the National League.
1362
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:35,000
Two out Dominic DiMaggio on first.
1363
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:37,000
Lou Budrow coming up.
1364
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:51,000
Lou batted in a run in the sixth inning the only time he's been at bat.
1365
02:09:51,000 --> 02:10:12,000
So takes his stance. There's the clutch the pitch a very high fast one over the batter's head ball one.
1366
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:17,000
Throw to first trying to nip the runner off nothing doing as Budrow took a cut at that pitch.
1367
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:22,000
The count is one and one. Danning snapped the ball down to McCormick at first.
1368
02:10:22,000 --> 02:10:25,000
But Dominic DiMaggio got back safely.
1369
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:29,000
But wrote the plate with a count one and one two out in the eighth.
1370
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:33,000
So pitches and budrow singles through the box and over second.
1371
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:40,000
Little Tom is going to third as Reeser fumbles and Budrow takes second.
1372
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:43,000
Reeser has looked bad on a couple of ground hit.
1373
02:10:43,000 --> 02:10:51,000
And Dominic DiMaggio for site that Reeser would have fumbled that when he did come all the way home.
1374
02:10:51,000 --> 02:10:54,000
He had already stopped at second when Pete fumbled a bit.
1375
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:58,000
Then he headed for third and Fodder went on to second.
1376
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:01,000
Jimmy Fox is at the plate.
1377
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:03,000
The tying runs are on second and third.
1378
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:09,000
Two men are out in the eighth inning and this is Fox's first time to bat.
1379
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:14,000
Budrow has done very nicely with two hits and two times at bat.
1380
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:16,000
Go in a run the first time.
1381
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:22,000
Fox swings at a high fast inside pitch for strike one.
1382
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:27,000
And the crowd is a bit noisy right now.
1383
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:30,000
I hope I'm getting this into the microphone.
1384
02:11:30,000 --> 02:11:31,000
All right Frank.
1385
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:33,000

1386
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:34,000

Strike two.
1389
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:41,000
Fox is really trying to belt that ball out of the lot.
1390
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:48,000
Two strikes and nothing.
1391
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:51,000
Five-three in favor of the National Lakers.
1392
02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:53,000

1393
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:54,000

Jimmy struck out on a high one.
1396
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:00,000
I saw getting him on three pitches.
1397
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:01,000
He went for all three of them.
1398
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:04,000
That ends the eighth with one run.
1399
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:05,000
Three hits.
1400
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:06,000

Travis first up.
1403
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:16,000
Fouled out to third baseman hack.
1404
02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:19,000
Joe DiMaggio doubled to right center.
1405
02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:22,000
Ted Williams called out on strike.
1406
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:25,000

Budrow single to center.
1409
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:34,000
And when Reeser fumbled a hit, DiMaggio went to third.
1410
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:36,000
Budrow second on the error.
1411
02:12:36,000 --> 02:12:39,000
Fox struck out on three pitches.
1412
02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:43,000
The score now five-three in favor of the National Lakers.
1413
02:12:43,000 --> 02:12:49,000
Paso first up in the ninth getting a fine hand from the crowd.
1414
02:12:49,000 --> 02:13:00,000
He took care of a tough batter there when he had to.
1415
02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:02,000
Bud bats them as he throws them right-handed.

02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:05,000
Eddie Smith out there on the hill left-hander.
1417

The fourth National League pitcher to work.
1418
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:11,000
Each team has used four pitchers.
1419
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:13,000
And the first pitch is a called strike on Paso.
1420
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:16,000
And incidentally Mr. Paso is quite a hitter.
1421
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:19,000
He has banged out several home runs for the Chicago Cubs.
1422
02:13:19,000 --> 02:13:22,000
When it meant a lot while he was in there pitching.
1423
02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:24,000
Takes the next one outside.
1424
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:25,000
Takes a look at it rather.
1425
02:13:25,000 --> 02:13:28,000
Ball one. One and one.
1426
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:30,000
National Lakers have made ten hits so far.
1427
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:36,000
The American League, eight.
1428
02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:38,000
The National League is leading by the same margin of runs.
1429
02:13:38,000 --> 02:13:41,000
Two runs. It's five-three.
1430
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:43,000
Paso hits a drive to right field.
1431
02:13:43,000 --> 02:13:47,000
Dominic DiMaggio is waiting for it and takes it for the put out.
1432
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:52,000
One away.
1433
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:54,000
Stan Hack is next.
1434
02:13:54,000 --> 02:13:56,000
One hit.
1435
02:13:56,000 --> 02:13:58,000
Three times at bat.
1436
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:02,000
Cookie Lavagetto is going to bat for Hack.
1437
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:06,000
Cookie Lavagetto of the Brooklyn Dodgers batting for Hack.
1438
02:14:06,000 --> 02:14:12,000
He's a right-hander batter.
1439
02:14:12,000 --> 02:14:17,000
Right name Harry but they all call him Cookie.
1440
02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:19,000
He's a third baseman.
1441
02:14:19,000 --> 02:14:22,000
First pitch. Fouls behind.
1442
02:14:22,000 --> 02:14:26,000
Coming back for it is Hayes but the ball is in the stands.
1443
02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:29,000
Bouncing right around down there where Virginia is.
1444
02:14:29,000 --> 02:14:31,000
He almost got hit on Hayes.
1445
02:14:31,000 --> 02:14:33,000
Been bad for the ball.
1446
02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:36,000
Smithy gets a new ball from umpire Pennelly.
1447
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:37,000
He's in there looking for the sign.
1448
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:38,000
Hayes still in the crouch.
1449
02:14:38,000 --> 02:14:39,000
Here's the pitch.
1450
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:41,000
Cookie socks a fast one to Jimmy Fox.
1451
02:14:41,000 --> 02:14:42,000
A swell stop.
1452
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:48,000
He's tossing to Smith and this time Smith gets his hoof on the bag out there to retire the runner.
1453
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:51,000
A nice play by Jimmy Fox, the first baseman.
1454
02:14:51,000 --> 02:14:53,000
A hard hit smash.
1455
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:54,000
Curving foul.
1456
02:14:54,000 --> 02:14:56,000
Jim had to go for it fast.
1457
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:57,000
Made the stop.
1458
02:14:57,000 --> 02:15:04,000
Smith hurried over, took the toss, and there's two away.
1459
02:15:04,000 --> 02:15:06,000
Next, Terry Moore.
1460
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:09,000
Left fielder who has gone hitless in four times at bat.
1461
02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:10,000
Right-handed batter.
1462
02:15:10,000 --> 02:15:12,000
First pitch.
1463
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:13,000
Fast ball in there.
1464
02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:22,000
Belt high for a called strike.
1465
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:25,000
And the next one, a high foul up first base way.
1466
02:15:25,000 --> 02:15:29,000
Fox shielding his eyes from the sun with his glove is under it and takes it.
1467
02:15:29,000 --> 02:15:33,000
And that ends the ninth for the National Leaguers.
1468
02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:38,000
Now the American Leaguers come in facing a two-run deficit.
1469
02:15:38,000 --> 02:15:43,000
It's five-three in favor of the National League.
1470
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:46,000
Smith got by the ninth inning retiring the side in order.
1471
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:49,000
No runs, no hits, no errors.
1472
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:53,000
Pass-over flag to Dominic DiMaggio and right.
1473
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:56,000
Lavagetto batted for Hack.
1474
02:15:56,000 --> 02:16:00,000
Fox made a swell play on his fast bounder and tossed to Smith for the outtick first.
1475
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:05,000
And Moore fouled to Fox.
1476
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:08,000
Lavagetto will play third, replacing Hack.
1477
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:10,000
We've got a new shortstop in there.
1478
02:16:10,000 --> 02:16:17,000
Eddie Miller of the Boston Bees playing shortstop for the National Leaguers.
1479
02:16:17,000 --> 02:16:21,000
Now I guess that about takes care of the changes.
1480
02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:29,000
Frankie Hayes will be the first batter-up for the American League.
1481
02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:33,000
Markey Vaughn can well afford to rest in this ninth inning.
1482
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:35,000
He did all right.
1483
02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:37,000
He only made three hits, two of them home runs.
1484
02:16:37,000 --> 02:16:42,000
He drove in four of the five runs scored by the National Leaguers.
1485
02:16:42,000 --> 02:16:48,000
Eddie Miller of Boston, number seven, playing shortstop.
1486
02:16:48,000 --> 02:16:55,000
Lavagetto of Brooklyn, number five, playing 14 for the National League.
1487
02:16:55,000 --> 02:16:57,000
That's the only changes.
1488
02:16:57,000 --> 02:16:59,000
Lavagetto playing third, Eddie Miller playing short.
1489
02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:02,000
First pitch to Hayes, a called strike.
1490
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:08,000
Aspaso broke it on the inside corner to this right-hand batter.
1491
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:13,000
This is Frank's first time at the plate.
1492
02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:17,000
And the next one is hit to a high fly in short center field.
1493
02:17:17,000 --> 02:17:19,000
There's a gang of them out there for it.
1494
02:17:19,000 --> 02:17:25,000
And second baseman takes it for the putout.
1495
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:29,000
A very high fly in short center field.
1496
02:17:29,000 --> 02:17:31,000
Three of them out there for it.
1497
02:17:31,000 --> 02:17:35,000
And second baseman, Herman, took it for the putout.
1498
02:17:35,000 --> 02:17:41,000
And Paso, all he has to do is get two more to win this ballgame for the National Leaguers.
1499
02:17:41,000 --> 02:17:44,000
Here's a pinch hitter.
1500
02:17:44,000 --> 02:17:50,000
Ken Keltner batting for Smith.
1501
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:53,000
Ken Keltner of the Cleveland Indians batting for Smith.
1502
02:17:53,000 --> 02:18:02,000
Takes the first pitch on the outside corner, letter high, for a called strike.
1503
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:07,000
Right-handed batter, two out, five-three in favor of the National League.
1504
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:10,000
The pitch, Keltner smashes to shortstop.
1505
02:18:10,000 --> 02:18:12,000
Miller boots the ball.
1506
02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:14,000
And Keltner is on first on the error.
1507
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:16,000
It was a tricky bounder.
1508
02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:19,000
Came to Eddie Miller the shortstop on a bad bounce.
1509
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:22,000
And it scored and rightly as a base hit.
1510
02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:24,000
That ball took a bad hop down there.
1511
02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:26,000
Hit Miller in the chest.
1512
02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:28,000
He made a second grab at it.
1513
02:18:28,000 --> 02:18:32,000
And it scored as a base hit for Keltner.
1514
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:35,000
He was batting for Smith the pitcher.
1515
02:18:35,000 --> 02:18:38,000
Now we have Flash Gordon up there.
1516
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:42,000
Joe's been at bat once, grounded the shortstop, first pitch, swinging strike.
1517
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:57,000
One man out on the ninth, five-three in favor of the National League.
1518
02:18:57,000 --> 02:18:58,000
And the next pitch.
1519
02:18:58,000 --> 02:19:01,000
Gordon lands a hit in the right field.
1520
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:04,000
Keltner pulls up at second.
1521
02:19:04,000 --> 02:19:06,000
Slaughterfield did that ball fast.
1522
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:07,000
The rally is on.
1523
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:10,000
There's a chance here for the American League.
1524
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:14,000
One man out and runners on first and second, a tying run.
1525
02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:22,000
And a fellow by the name of Buck Travis coming up, who has already hit one double.
1526
02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:28,000
In four times at bat and scored one run.
1527
02:19:28,000 --> 02:19:37,000
Left-handed batter, one away in the ninth, five-three in favor of the National League.
1528
02:19:37,000 --> 02:19:42,000
First pitch to Travis is a fast ball, a bit outside.
1529
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:47,000
Letter high, ball one.
1530
02:19:47,000 --> 02:19:52,000
Keltner is on second, Gordon on first.
1531
02:19:52,000 --> 02:19:55,000
Paso pitching from the shoulder, here it comes.
1532
02:19:55,000 --> 02:19:59,000
And there's a foul ball drifting out left field way into the bullpen,
1533
02:19:59,000 --> 02:20:03,000
usually occupied by the Tiger warm-up pitchers.
1534
02:20:03,000 --> 02:20:10,000
Strike one and ball one.
1535
02:20:10,000 --> 02:20:15,000
For the National League, Archie Vaughan has batted in four of the five runs.
1536
02:20:15,000 --> 02:20:21,000
Terry Moore batted in the other with a long fly to left field.
1537
02:20:21,000 --> 02:20:26,000
Vaughan is not in the game now, Eddie Miller playing short.
1538
02:20:26,000 --> 02:20:27,000
Paso is ready.
1539
02:20:27,000 --> 02:20:35,000
He pitches, a curved ball gets the outside corner for a called strike on Travis.
1540
02:20:35,000 --> 02:20:42,000
Two strikes, one ball.
1541
02:20:42,000 --> 02:20:49,000
One man out, second and first occupied.
1542
02:20:49,000 --> 02:20:54,000
Here's the pitch, outside, ball two, two and two.
1543
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:58,000
Two balls, two strikes.
1544
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:01,000
There's the clutch, the pitch is coming.
1545
02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:06,000
Another one outside, ball three, three and two.
1546
02:21:06,000 --> 02:21:08,000
The crowd is hanging around.
1547
02:21:08,000 --> 02:21:15,000
I haven't seen anybody go home yet.
1548
02:21:15,000 --> 02:21:20,000
54,674.
1549
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:24,000
Ted Williams has batted in one of the American League runs.
1550
02:21:24,000 --> 02:21:29,000
Lou Budrow has batted in one.
1551
02:21:29,000 --> 02:21:32,000
Dominic DiMaggio has batted in one.
1552
02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:35,000
Travis has a chance to bat in one, right here.
1553
02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:40,000
Paso working on the new one, dries his hand, faces the batter, here's the pitch.
1554
02:21:40,000 --> 02:21:43,000
Ball four, that loads the bases.
1555
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:47,000
He tried to make him go for another outside pitch.
1556
02:21:47,000 --> 02:21:50,000
Travis wouldn't swing.
1557
02:21:50,000 --> 02:21:54,000
Three men on, one man out and Joe DiMaggio up.
1558
02:21:54,000 --> 02:21:58,000
Joe's had one hit, a double off Paso the last time up.
1559
02:21:58,000 --> 02:22:04,000
Walk once, fly deep to center field, bowled out to third base.
1560
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:13,000
That's the first base on balls issued by Paso.
1561
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:17,000
Bucky Walters walked two, Whit Wyatt walked one.
1562
02:22:17,000 --> 02:22:20,000
Derringer walked none.
1563
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:24,000
Three on, full windup, here's the pitch, DiMaggio fouls.
1564
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:29,000
Tops one, bounces it on the ground over toward the Tiger dugout behind third,
1565
02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:36,000
where the American Lakers are huddling today.
1566
02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:43,000
Fang runners on second, Keltner on third, Joe Gordon on second.
1567
02:22:43,000 --> 02:22:52,000
Buck Travis on first, one man out and one strike on DiMaggio, Joseph.
1568
02:22:52,000 --> 02:22:54,000
Plenty of racket out here.
1569
02:22:54,000 --> 02:22:59,000
Paso's arm goes up for the pitch, DiMaggio swings at a fast one,
1570
02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:03,000
and he was swinging from the heel please.
1571
02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:09,000
High fast pitch, Joseph failed to meet it.
1572
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:17,000
He was really going, going for three or four that time.
1573
02:23:17,000 --> 02:23:19,000
Yeah, but he was going for more.
1574
02:23:19,000 --> 02:23:26,000
All right, two strikes, one, a bounder to shortstop, Eddie Miller handles the ball fast.
1575
02:23:26,000 --> 02:23:32,000
Here comes Keltner scoring, Miller's toss to Herman at second, forces Travis.
1576
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:40,000
DiMaggio beat Herman's rather bad throw to McCormick, it pulled him off the bag,
1577
02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:43,000
and there's only one out on the play.
1578
02:23:43,000 --> 02:23:46,000
Instead of a double play ending the ball game,
1579
02:23:46,000 --> 02:23:52,000
Herman's throw from second to McCormick at first to try to complete the double,
1580
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:57,000
pulled the first baseman off the bag and gave Joe DiMaggio a life at first.
1581
02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:02,000
Gordon moved over to third, the score is 5-4 in favor of the National Lakers.
1582
02:24:02,000 --> 02:24:11,000
A big huddle out there at the pitcher's mound with Ted Williams coming up.
1583
02:24:11,000 --> 02:24:13,000
And we'll see what the dope is.
1584
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:18,000
First and third occupied, Williams has had one hit, a double,
1585
02:24:18,000 --> 02:24:30,000
has walked once, lied to center field and struck out.
1586
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:34,000
Now the tying run, the person that Joe Gordon is on third.
1587
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:37,000
First pitch to Williams, way outside, little high,
1588
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:43,000
looks as though it might have possibly been a pitch out for Danning to take a peg at third base.
1589
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:48,000
However, Lavagetto isn't paying much attention to the base runner,
1590
02:24:48,000 --> 02:24:51,000
he's protecting that territory.
1591
02:24:51,000 --> 02:24:58,000
Williams might push a hit down through there, playing right on the line between third and second.
1592
02:24:58,000 --> 02:25:02,000
While Eddie Miller, the shortstop, is deep and over near second.
1593
02:25:02,000 --> 02:25:06,000
Second baseman Herman up toward first, foul ball right over our heads, strike.
1594
02:25:06,000 --> 02:25:12,000
Count us one and one.
1595
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:20,000
Two men gone in the ninth.
1596
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:28,000
5-4 in favor of the National Lakers.
1597
02:25:28,000 --> 02:25:32,000
One strike and one ball, Ted Williams the batter, Danning out of the crouch,
1598
02:25:32,000 --> 02:25:40,000
Paso pitches high inside, ball two and Paso is asking umpire Babe Pennelly,
1599
02:25:40,000 --> 02:25:44,000
tossing a new ball, there's something wrong with that one, Babe does.
1600
02:25:44,000 --> 02:25:49,000
Claude gives this one a going over.
1601
02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:54,000
And this boys and girls is a ball game and has been one all afternoon.
1602
02:25:54,000 --> 02:26:00,000
A real all-star affair, they've done everything, made errors, good plays, hits, the pitch.
1603
02:26:00,000 --> 02:26:05,000
Williams hits a powering fly, it looks as though it's way up in there, way up, way up,
1604
02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:11,000
and the clap hits the top deck, the third deck, and this ball game is over.
1605
02:26:11,000 --> 02:26:18,000
With the American League coming through again, it'll count as a home run because the ball is up on the top deck
1606
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:24,000
of the right field stand, everybody grabbing Ted, patting him on the back.
1607
02:26:24,000 --> 02:26:27,000
Joe Cronin has his hat off and is giving him a Dutch rub.
1608
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:32,000
Artie Fletcher is also on his back and the kid really laced that one out.
1609
02:26:32,000 --> 02:26:40,000
Boy oh boy, it didn't go over the roof, but it hit the third deck barrier in right field, way up there, plenty high.
1610
02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:43,000
The third home run made in this ball game,
1611
02:26:43,000 --> 02:26:48,000
Archie Vaughan made two for the National Lakers and drove in for their five runs.
1612
02:26:48,000 --> 02:26:56,000
And Williams came along with this one to win the ball game, knocking in Gordon.
1613
02:26:56,000 --> 02:27:05,000
And Joe DiMaggio, and of course himself.
1614
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:14,000
So that makes the totals for the ninth inning, two men out when the home run was hit, and the winning run scored.
1615
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:30,000
Three, four runs, three hits, no error, and none left on base.
1616
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:43,000
And the final score, the American Lakers, seven runs, 11 hits, three errors.
1617
02:27:43,000 --> 02:27:47,000
The American League, seven runs, 11 hits, three errors.
1618
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:52,000
National League, five runs, ten hits, two errors.
1619
02:27:52,000 --> 02:27:59,000
The winning pitcher, Edgar Smith, are the Chicago White Sox, the last one in there.
1620
02:27:59,000 --> 02:28:04,000
And the loser, Claude Pesso, are the Chicago Cubs.
1621
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:07,000
So Chicago was very prominent in this.
1622
02:28:07,000 --> 02:28:16,000
Ladies and girls, this game came to you through WWJ and W45D, and it was quite a ball game.
1623
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:25,000
And now the American League has the edge on the Nationals, six games to three.
1624
02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:29,000
Started out today with five to three, now it's six to three.
1625
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:35,000
And it looked for quite a while as though the National League was going to sort of upset the Dope Bucket,
1626
02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:43,000
because all the pregame dope was that the American League would have the power at the plate,
1627
02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:47,000
while the National League would have the better pitching.
1628
02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:57,000
However, up until this ninth inning, the National League not only had made more hits, but also more runs.
1629
02:28:57,000 --> 02:29:08,000
It looked as though they were going to come in there with a five to two victory.
1630
02:29:08,000 --> 02:29:15,000
After Frankie Hayes, first man up with a score of five, three in favor of the National League,
1631
02:29:15,000 --> 02:29:20,000
Frankie Hayes, first up, popped a towering fly to second baseman Billy Harmon.
1632
02:29:20,000 --> 02:29:25,000
Ken Keltner, then, of Cleveland Indians batted for Smith the pitcher and singled.
1633
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:31,000
Joe Gordon kept it going with a single, Keltner stopping at second.
1634
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:35,000
Then Travis walked, filling the bases.
1635
02:29:35,000 --> 02:29:41,000
Joe DiMaggio slapped a fast bounder to shortstop,
1636
02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:46,000
which ordinarily would have been turned into a double play and a victory for the National League.
1637
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:52,000
Miller gathered up the ball all right, tossed to Herman at second, forcing Travis.
1638
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:55,000
But Herman's throw was a bit wide to first base.
1639
02:29:55,000 --> 02:30:03,000
It pulled McCormick off the bag, DiMaggio going fast, hit it, before McCormick could get back or tag him,
1640
02:30:03,000 --> 02:30:12,000
and was safe, preventing a double play, on which Keltner scampered home from third.
1641
02:30:12,000 --> 02:30:16,000
Then they had a big consultation out around the mound as to what to do with Ted Williams,
1642
02:30:16,000 --> 02:30:19,000
with runners on first and third and two out.
1643
02:30:19,000 --> 02:30:24,000
Should we pitch to the kid, or shall we walk him and take a chance on Dominic DiMaggio,
1644
02:30:24,000 --> 02:30:28,000
who would have been the next batter up with the bases loaded?
1645
02:30:28,000 --> 02:30:34,000
They decided to pitch to Ted, and Ted took a crack at the third pitch,
1646
02:30:34,000 --> 02:30:38,000
hit it high against the top barrier, often right field,
1647
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:45,000
a home run, scoring Gordon and DiMaggio ahead of him, ending the ball game,
1648
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:49,000
with the American Leaguers winning 7-5.
1649
02:30:49,000 --> 02:30:54,000
The pitching summaries of this game, Whitlow Wyatt, who will take the National League first,
1650
02:30:54,000 --> 02:31:00,000
Whitlow Wyatt of the Brooklyn Dodgers started, worked two innings, allowed no runs, no hits,
1651
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:04,000
struck out none and walked one. Paul Derenger followed him, worked for two,
1652
02:31:04,000 --> 02:31:08,000
gave up one run, two hits, struck out one and walked none.
1653
02:31:08,000 --> 02:31:14,000
Bucky Walters, also of the Cincinnati Reds, pitched two innings, gave up one run, three hits,
1654
02:31:14,000 --> 02:31:20,000
struck out two and walked two, and Pesso, Claude Pesso of the Chicago Cubs,
1655
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:29,000
the last pitcher in there, worked the last three and was touched for five runs,
1656
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:37,000
six hits, struck out two and walked one. He's the losing pitcher.
1657
02:31:37,000 --> 02:31:41,000
For the American League, Bob Feller, the Cleveland Indians, worked the first three,
1658
02:31:41,000 --> 02:31:47,000
allowed no runs, gave up one hit, struck out three and walked none.
1659
02:31:47,000 --> 02:31:52,000
Lefty Torrenton Lee of the Chicago White Sox, worked the next three, he gave up one run,
1660
02:31:52,000 --> 02:31:56,000
four hits, struck out none, walked none.
1661
02:31:56,000 --> 02:32:02,000
Sid Hudson pitched one inning and got himself into trouble in that seventh inning.
1662
02:32:02,000 --> 02:32:07,000
First man up, single, then Archie Vaughn hit the first of his two home runs,
1663
02:32:07,000 --> 02:32:11,000
scoring behind Slaughter, who had single.
1664
02:32:11,000 --> 02:32:13,000
Hudson got rid of the rest of them without any further scoring,
1665
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:19,000
but his record for the one inning was two runs, three hits, struck out one and walked one.
1666
02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:25,000
Edgar Smith of the Chicago White Sox, pitched the eighth and ninth.
1667
02:32:25,000 --> 02:32:28,000
Smithy struck out the first man to face him, Slaughter,
1668
02:32:28,000 --> 02:32:35,000
and then Mr. Vaughn came through with his second home run in succession.
1669
02:32:35,000 --> 02:32:38,000
He struck out the first man, Pete Reesher.
1670
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:44,000
Johnny Myers doubled off Smithy, and Smithy fanned Slaughter.
1671
02:32:44,000 --> 02:32:49,000
With two out and Myers on second, Archie Vaughn repeated his performance of the seventh inning
1672
02:32:49,000 --> 02:32:55,000
and homered off Smith to knock in Myers ahead of him.
1673
02:32:55,000 --> 02:32:59,000
That ended the run scoring for the Nationals.
1674
02:32:59,000 --> 02:33:09,000
