1963 marked the first time in five years that only one game was played at the midseason All-Star break.
The game took place at Cleveland Stadium in front of only 44,000 in a ballpark that could hold twice as many.
It didn't help that the Indians entered the break in sixth place, and their only representative on the All-Star team was Mugcat Grant,
who didn't even see any action in the game.
The game was notable, however, in that Stan Musial made his 24th and final appearance in the All-Star game,
and youngster Carl Yastremski would make his first of 18 future appearances.

Well, baseball fans, here we are in the city of Cleveland.
The 34th All-Star Game, and it marks the third time that this classic between the stars of the American League
and the National League have visited the shores of Lake Erie.
It's a beautiful day, white clouds floating, a blue sky we can see, the temperature just right,
a fine day for a ball game.
It's appropriate, I think, that Cleveland's Municipal Stadium,
which the Indians have established most of the attendance records of the major leagues,
also owns the proud record for this midsummer classic, which dates back to 1933.
It was on July the 8th in 1935, and almost 70,000 said in this ballpark,
watch the American Leaguers defeat the National Leaguers 4-1.
The proud figure still stands as a record for the event, and 19 years later, on July the 14th, 1954,
the All-Star Game returned to Cleveland Stadium, and the second biggest gathering in the history of the event,
68,751 saw the American League outlast the National League 11-9.
And here we are once again now, the new stars of the game, new names for the most part,
but the same great game of baseball.
It's been 33 games between the two leagues.
American League holds the edge 17-50, one game ended in a tie.
Some of the great names have played in these All-Star Games, and I think a fitting start to the series,
dramatic All-Star Games, individual leads through the years.
The initial contest was featured by a two-run home run off the bat of Babe Ruth,
first of many notable blows that have been hit in these games.
American League defeated the National League 4-2, when Lefty Gomez received credit for the victory,
Bill Hallahan being charged with the defeat.
Now both the games played here in Cleveland Stadium rate were the most exciting ones of the series,
and the first one, Gomez and the Indians' Mal Harder combined to toss a nifty four-hitter
in pitching their mates to a 4-1 victory over the National League.
More great names, Jimmy Fox, there's a Fox in the ball game today,
but the double X was a different one, big, strong hitter,
and he had a two-run home run the first half of the first inning,
rather the last half of the first inning to send the American League off to an early lead.
Later he accounted for a third run with a single.
Names like Archie Vaughn, Bill Terry, Gomez, Joel Vosmic,
Babe Ruth, Carl Hubbell, Jimmy Fox, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Bobby Dorr,
Stan Musial, Red Chains, Enos Slaughter, Manny Minoso, Whitey Ford, Willie Mays,
and just a few who have been outstanding in these ball games.
And I suppose, too, there's a bit of difference that you can find,
and this one is compared to the World Series.
The World Series pits the two winning teams.
Here, it's kind of a dream, really, because a dream fulfilled,
because you see the greats as selected by the teammates themselves
who will play in this ball game.
Now let's take a quick look at the starting lineups.
These have been selected by the ball clubs, the ball players themselves.
Tommy Davis will lead off of the Dodgers. He'll be in left field.
Hank Aaron of the Braves will be in right field hitting second.
Batting third at first base will be Bill White.
The squads are going to be introduced right now,
and we'll go along with what we're doing here,
and they'll come to two or three names,
and I'm certain that you'll hear it from into salvation.
Alvin Dark has just been greeted.
Batting fourth for the National League will be the center fielder, Willie Mays.
Ed Bailey of the Giants is the catcher. He'll be batting fifth.
Kenny Boyer of the Cardinals at third base hitting sixth in the order.
Dick Grode also of the Cardinals at shortstop hitting seventh.
Julien Javier will be at second base. He, too, with the St. Louis Cardinals.
And the pitcher from the Cincinnati Reds will be Jim O'Toole of the left-hander.
Looking now at the American League, they'll lead off with Nelson Fox
of the Chicago White Sox at second base.
Batting second in center field his first year,
first all-star game, Albie Pearson.
Batting third, the right fielder Al Kaelin of the Tigers.
Frank Malzone will be batting fourth. He's the third baseman.
Leon Wegner of the Angels in left field hitting fifth.
Of the Minnesota Twins, their great catcher Earl Batty will hit sixth.
And the Yankees' sensational first baseman,
playing in his first all-star game, Joe Papaton will hit seventh.
And Zoilo Versalas in his first will be at shortstop, unnifty man with a glove.
And Ken McBride, a right-hander but very similar to O'Toole in equipment,
personality and so forth, will do the pitching.
Ken McBride, by the way, has been a very good pitcher.
Though he's been in two previous all-star assignments last year,
he could not appear because of a broken rib.
His first year did not get into the ball game.
This year will be the starting pitcher.
He's been selected.
Well, it's pretty tough, you know, for Gene Mark to pick out a man to start a ball game
with all the talent lined up here.
McBride, Mambo Cat, Fizarro, Raditz, Brandt, Bouton, Bunnings, that's names of that.
McBride has had a fine June. He has not lost a ball game since the last weekend of May.
And he's won six in June.
He's a right-hander.
Now Jim O'Toole, a young fellow who was born and raised in Chicago,
the son of a policeman there, and Jim O'Toole and the Cincinnati organization
has come a long, long way.
They laughed a little bit, I think, when it was learned that he put T-H-I-N-K
in letters on the fingers of his glove.
But he's done that and he's now become one of the great pitchers of the game.
McBride was born in Huntsville, Alabama. He now lives here in Claiborne.
Warren Spahn is coming out now.
Fourteen All-Star appearances for him.
And now for the twentieth year. Listen to this one.
From the St. Louis Marquos of Phelan's Man Studio.
Stand the man.
And now, please start your lineups.
They'll be now giving the starting lineups.
And please let's see you.
From the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Introducing Tommy Davis right at the moment.
We've already given you the lineup.
We'll give you something about some of these fellows as they come out now.
...as playing right for you from the Milwaukee Braves, Hank Aaron.
Hank Aaron has been introduced.
There has been a slight change in the batting order.
But we have it correctly now, I think.
But right now, it's a pleasure.
I'd like to tell you this, the All-Star baseball game is being brought to you
from Cleveland Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
Now, you know Bob Neal, a really great player, kind out on this field today.
And the fellows will keep working on it.
They're never satisfied completely with their performance.
Well, you said it, George.
And that's one reason Gillette has always been the standout in shaving products.
They're always pushing ahead with research and manufacturing improvements.
Gillette's newest product is cool, refreshing Sunup aftershave.
Right now, you can get it free with the purchase of the 150 Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor Set.
Sunup gives you the top of the morning feeling, a wonderful sense of well-being that lasts.
And its crisp, masculine fragrance makes a hit with the ladies, too.
The Slim Adjustable Razor has Gillette's exclusive precision dial with nine different blade settings.
One is exactly right for you, no matter what your combination of skin and beard.
Fans try Gillette's new Sunup aftershave free with the Slim Adjustable Razor Set at $1.50 plus tax.
Or get it free with Gillette's Super Blue Blade 15s at $1 plus tax.
Well, George, these spectacular moments of the All-Star Game are here today, and you're sure capturing them for us.
Well, I'll tell you, I don't think there's a greater thrill in the world that you can have
than the one you get when you see a ballgame start, the first game of the season, the last game of the season,
the All-Star Game, the World Series.
And looking down there now, as the National League is lined up between home plate and third base,
money, all the money in the world could not buy that talent that's there.
Those 25 ball players, managers, and coaches, and the same thing will go on the American League side.
And I think it's interesting to note, Bob, that Yankee manager, who is the manager of the American League,
has been introduced to this Cleveland crowd.
Taking a look at the other personnel on the ball club, Sam Mealy of the Clans and Johnny Pesky of the Red Sox,
both successful managers will be the coaches. Of course, Ralph Hough, the manager of the Yankees,
is the manager of this ball club. Alvin Dark runs the National League club.
Gene Locke of the Phillies, last year's National League manager of the year, will coach at third base.
And Bob Kennedy of the Chicago Cubs will be working at first base.
Now, the umpires are a little different than most of us around the league get a chance to see.
Hank Sower of the American League will work back of the plate.
Bill Joukowski of the National League at first base.
At second base will be Al Smith of the American League.
Paul Pryor will work at third. He's of the National League.
Now, the difference is that we add two umpires.
Don Harvey will work out along the left field line of the National League umpire.
And down along the right field line, Bill Haller, who is a brother of a young gentleman who plays in the National League.
Kenny McBride and Jim O'Toole, both of them warming up right now.
They have just introduced Norm Stebern, the unusual type uniforms.
And all the National League ball players have now turned to see Norm in the Kelly Green and Gold.
Although Cleveland has a very colorful uniform, a home uniform that is, very colorful,
this could be a coming thing in baseball, color being added to the ball parts.
You might be interested in knowing in the American League that the oldest man playing in this ball game is Nelson Fox.
He's 35. The youngest, Joy Lever Salas, 22, and what a future. A present, really.
The heaviest man is Dick Raditz, a fireballing pitcher of the Red Sox. He weighs 235.
And the lightest, well, I think you already know, that will be Little Albie Pearson,
141 and he's gained six pounds since he started to play baseball.
The average age of the American League, 27 years. Average height, six feet.
The weight, 189. And that just about tells you the American League story.
There are many, many other things that can be said about these ball players.
Let's go now to the National League and check the oldest man there.
Stand the man, he's 42 years old. The youngest is Ray Culp, he's 21.
Drysdale LaTala, 6'6". Mari Wills, the shortest, 5'5".
They've introduced Mudcat Grant now, a pitcher with the Cleveland Indians and a good one.
And he gets quite an ovation from the fans here.
Don Drysdale, Ed Bailey, Johnny Edwards, and Joe Torre, lead in the weight department.
Each weighs 205. And Mari Wills is the lightest man on the National League squad, 160.
Well, Albie's being introduced right now.
Now I suppose that watching Albie Pearson play baseball can certainly be a kind of a lift to those of you who are not born to grow to be six feet tall.
Albie has shown that he can do it, and he's done it.
Al Kaline, one of the great names in baseball, has just been introduced.
The ground crew here, getting that infield absolutely sharp.
Big ballpark hole, 73,811 fans.
They've seen the great ones play here.
The ball can get out, it's 410 feet to center field, 380 in each of the slots in the right center, deep right center and left center.
365 in straightaway right center and left center.
It's 320 feet right down the line, but then it goes out sharply to a wire fence stretching all the way across.
There have been 192 home runs hit in this ballpark last year.
They were that many.
The Tigers ballpark, Tiger Stadium, saw the most in the league, 208.
Minnesota, they hit 194 with that power laden team, and right here, 192.
Tricky win, though it does not affect the play itself the most part.
You'll find banners in this ballpark, one blowing one direction and one another.
And I'm sure that all of us here in this booth, connected with this broadcast, are very much in debt too,
in which to compliment those responsible here in Cleveland for all the facilities we have.
They're just great.
Announcing the umpires now, and they're coming out.
John Snyder of the White Sidewalls, they say, is down there.
And Duke of the White Sidewalls, note the gray hair that come along the top of his ears.
Umpires being announced, the players have returned out of the foul lines.
We're just a few minutes away from the start of this contest.
Jimmy O'Toole is still warming up.
And Ken McBride has finished.
The main core color guard in deep left center field.
Flag is ready.
Jimmy Watkins Orchestra singer, our national anthem.
To the bright and bright stars, from the pair of the sky, For them, like we watch, were so gallantly streaming.
And Watkins was there for the first thing in the air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
The flag-blast has sung by Mike Douglas.
Let's pause now 10 seconds for station identification.
This is WGY telling the radio dial Schenectady.
One of the good things I saw as they lined up, and all these ballplayers, there are some years on some and most are young.
Only one real, the fellow who's lost most of his hair and really shouldn't, I think.
Dick Grote, Dick is only 32 years old, but getting down pretty close to the skin there, but a fine ballplayer.
And now ladies and gentlemen, along our 310th station network, the Armed Forces Radio.
It's my great pleasure to introduce to you the man of longstanding broadcasting and televising the ballgames here in Cleveland, Bob Neal.
Thank you very much, George, and hello baseball fans all around the world.
This has been a spectacular moment that the fans of this area have waited for, not only for Cleveland, but all over the United States.
Young, old, they're all here to see the wonderful dream game of baseball, the All-Star Game.
Ken McBride, who was born in Huntsville, Alabama, who lives in the west side of Cleveland when he's not pursuing the happiness of the Los Angeles Angels,
moves out in the direction of the mound. He's a right-hander, and this is his first All-Star Game start.
He's 27'6", 195 pounder. He's won nine and lost six for the Angels so far.
He is considered by many managers in the American League as being the proud possessor of perhaps the best curveball in the game.
Mike Malzone, playing third base today for the Boston Red Sox, is a especially proud gentleman
because his lovely wife presented him with a new baby boy this morning, and mother and baby doing well indeed in Massachusetts.
So Mr. Malzone indeed probably have a young All-Star all of his own on this very appropriate day.
At shortstop is Zolo Versales from the Minnesota Twins. This is his first All-Star Game.
He's perhaps the most excited young man in town. Second base, Nellie Fox, who's been around for some time.
And first place is Joe Pepitone, who also is a rookie, came up part of last year with the Yankees,
and this must be quite an honor for him. In left field, Leon Wagner, who started his career in the National League
and who came back from Toronto and with the Los Angeles Angels. In center, Albie Pearson,
probably the smallest man to ever play in an All-Star affair, and Al Kailine out in right field.
Earl Batty of the Minnesota Twins will handle the catching as McBride takes his warm-up tosses.
Hank Soar, played umpire, ready to move in. At first base is Bill Joukowsky of the National League.
At second base is Al Smith of the American League, and at third base is Mr. Pryor.
So ready to slip in from the Los Angeles Dodgers is Tommy Davis. Davis, a right-hand batter,
stands about halfway deep in the batter's box. His feet are fairly close and he strides into the ball.
He carries a.327 batting average with the Dodgers. He's hit eight home runs.
And the outfield is playing him straight away, the breeze blowing to right center.
First pitch, a little low with a curve and it's ball one.
Wagner is deep in left. Albie Pearson straight away in center, and Al Kailine away from the line in right field.
Left side of the infield backed up. Here's the one-ball delivery. Outside, ball two.
Batty working out to the side of the play as Davis, who stands fairly upright, solidly built,
holds that bat right on the end. McBride with a two-ball delivery comes down.
And a strike catches the outside corner, two and one.
The all-star game underway. The breeze is blowing towards right center. It's about 15 miles per hour.
Here's the look in, the windup, the two-one delivery. And a ground ball, slow roller. Malzone charging in.
Fires across to first and there's one away. Nice play by Frank Malzone on a chopper to the left side.
Came in about five steps on the infield grass, got it across to Joe Pepitone and there's one away.
As Ken McBride disposes of the first batter from the National League.
Here now is a man of outstanding talents. Superlatives would be a little hard to come by to match all of his talents.
Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves. Called to Henry by his close friends.
Aaron stands in, right-hand batter, looks at the pitch, low outside, ball one.
Aaron currently is hitting three-ten for the Braves, has 24 home runs, 63 RBIs.
He's a slender bill but a fine ability muscular-wise.
Loose wrists and he takes a little outside ball too.
Well McBride went to a two-ball count before he was able to get Davis to work.
Now let's see how he works now on Henry Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves.
Top field around the left, playing him to pull and the short stops deep.
As a ground ball, one hopper to Malzone, the third baseman, flips across to Pepitone and is two away.
So Malzone and Pepitone have had pretty much the activity.
Two up and two down for the National League in the top of the first inning and from the St. Louis Cardinals.
Bill White.
Bill White started out in life, wanted to be a doctor, got a Bachelor of Science degree,
and he has been pursuing a very gainful occupation, playing for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Takes a swing and fouls it off, strike one.
There's no score in the ball game. This is the top of the first inning.
Two down for the National League. Bill White started today with a 320 average.
And he has 14 home runs for the Cardinals. He's driven in 60 runs.
He has power and the American League is pulled around to the right respectfully.
Two down, one strike. Here's McBride's delivery.
Ground ball foul. Why the first? Goes right by first base coach Bob Kennedy.
And the count is two strikes.
We've just gotten underway. McBride disposing of the first two men to face him.
Tommy Davis of the Dodgers, who bounced out third to first, and Hank Herron,
who also bounced out Malzone to Puppetton.
Two up, two down, two strikes on Bill White. McBride checks now with Batty.
Into the windup and the two-strike pitch coming down.
Slow curve is a little too high, one and two.
Sun shining brightly. It's about 72 degrees.
Perfect day for baseball with some beautiful fleecy clouds up ahead.
The one-two pitch. Curve ball fouls it off.
Back near the screen comes Earl Batty and it's on the screen out of play.
One ball, two strikes. Count remains.
McBride changed up a little and gave him a change-up curve ball.
Bill White went after it but fouled it back out of play.
Two down, nobody on. One ball, two strikes.
The All-Star game in Cleveland's Municipal Stadium.
Fine crowd on hand.
Now McBride will work again with a new ball. Outfield shading just a little to the right for White.
Nellie Fox deep near the edge of the outfield grass at second base.
One-two pitch. There's a bouncer down to Fox, a second baseman.
Flips to Puppetton and the side is retired.
Three up and three down for the National League.
So at the middle of the first inning, there is no score.
Those San Francisco Giants certainly making a strong bid for their second straight National League pennant.
And one of the top reasons is Big Orlando Cepeda.
He's really blasted some beauties this year.
And speaking of Orlando, he's been a Gillette fan for many years.
Right now he's going along with millions of other fans for Gillette's special offer.
Cool, refreshing sunup aftershave, free, with the $1.50 Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor Set.
Gillette Sunup gives you a sense of well-being that lasts, has a crisp masculine fragrance both men and women prefer.
Sunup is the perfect way to top off a comfortable shave with the Gillette Slim Adjustable.
This is the razor with the precision micrometer dial.
Nine different blade settings for light to extra heavy beards.
One just right for you.
Here's a shaving special you won't want to miss.
The Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor with free Gillette Sunup aftershave.
$1.50 plus tax or sunup free with Gillette Super Blue-Blood 15s at a dollar plus tax.
Nellie Fox will be leading it off for the American League.
And Nelson is perhaps the last of the bottle-backed swingers.
Mark Kramer was the man who originally got him to switch into it.
Nellie's philosophy is that the little man in baseball should not be swinging for the fans.
But try and get on and let somebody else push him ahead.
The outfield for the National League has moved in tight with the center fielder mazed virtually a deep second base.
Davis is in shallow in left and Ahrens backed up in right.
First pitch is outside from O'Toole, the left-hander.
Jim O'Toole is known as a nervous worker.
He likes to walk around and fidget a lot.
He's a fine performer.
He's won 13 ball games.
And he works now with the one ball delivery.
Outside with a curve and it's ball two.
O'Toole is 26, 6 foot 200 pounds.
1961, lost two games in the World Series.
Hails from Chicago.
Two ball delivery.
Catches the corner for a strike.
Jim O'Toole, as George Bryson pointed out to you in his early days, had think printed across his glove so that he could concentrate.
And he is a worker.
2-1 pitch.
There's a little looper hit out of the center field going to drop in for a base hit.
First hit of the ball game by Nellie Fox, who plays that bat like a musician, plays that bowl and he just looped one out over second base.
A base hit for Fox.
The American League gets the first hit of the ball game.
And coming up now is the other little man in the game today, Albie Pearson.
Albie Pearson, 5 foot 5 and about 141 pounder.
Left hand batter against the left hander O'Toole.
Outfield remaining in shallow.
Fox leads away.
White holes against him.
Here's the pitch.
Too high with a curve.
Ball one.
The breeze is out towards right center.
One of the things not known about Albie very well is he at one time was a fighter.
He had some professional fights.
He probably had over 100.
My, that is interesting.
There's Fox leading away.
O'Toole checks him and works down to the plate.
And he's going to bunt it and he takes it for a strike.
The end very fast on the play was Boyer charging in for a possible bunt.
Sam Mealy, the manager of the Minnesota Twins coaching at first base, moves in to say something to Fox.
Johnny Pesky, the manager of the Boston Red Sox, coaching over at third.
And he also is watching the situation.
All right, the 1-1 pitch, nobody out.
No score in the last of the first inning.
There's a high foul cut off near the stands.
The breeze will take it out of play over is Bill White and the catcher, Ed Bailey, with no chance.
So it's one ball and two strikes.
We're scoreless.
We're in the last half of the first inning of the All-Star Game from the Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
Nellie Fox, the first baserunner of the ball game, holes close at first.
White, a very fancy man with a glove, holding against him.
Not too shallow.
Here's O'Toole, the left-hander, checking on Fox.
Here's the pitch.
And he checked his swing and its inside.
Started to go held up 2-2.
Two balls, two strikes.
Ed Bailey, who hails from the unusually named town of Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, handling the catching.
All right, O'Toole is set.
He checks on Fox at first.
He's ready to work.
And the pitch coming down to Pearson.
Tries to hold off.
Fouls it back.
Out of play.
And the count holds.
Two balls, two strikes.
O'Toole is solidly built.
He has big, broad shoulders.
In his first year in professional baseball, 120 games.
No score in the ball game.
Nellie Fox, the baserunner, leads away.
White holds against him.
O'Toole, the left-hander, ready to work on the 2-2.
Down she comes.
There's a base hit over the head of Bill White.
Hanging out in the corner.
Aaron coming over as Fox goes on for third.
Pearson makes the turn and holds as the throw goes into second base.
Bouncing ball.
It bounced high over the head of Bill White.
He had no chance for it.
He could have been on a ladder and not been able to reach it.
It took a very high bounce over his head and went down the right field line.
So the American League now has a runner third, a runner first.
And Albie Pearson drills a single.
And Nellie Fox moves around the third base.
Two men on, nobody out.
And Al Kaelin the batter.
Kaelin, the fine outfielder of the Detroit Tigers, who can do everything,
stands deep right-hand batter, waiting on O'Toole, who checks the runners at third and first.
Pitch, big curve outside ball one.
Kaelin suffered a muscle spasm in the back of his right leg.
On Saturday, but despite that, he's here.
Great honor to be selected and he's living up to his magnificent standard as a professional baseball player.
Here's the check on the runners.
O'Toole comes down with a pitch.
There's a fly ball hit into left field.
Coming in under it is Davis.
Fox tags up.
Here he comes.
There's the throw coming and it may be close.
The runner going down.
Here's the play and he's out.
Davis threw a magnificent strike into the plate to Ed Bailey.
And they got Nellie Fox coming in.
Oh, what a throw Davis made to help me Pearson move down to second on the throw into the plate.
So no sacrifice fly.
And now there's Kaelin.
It's a fly ball to left.
And Davis' magnificent throw to the plate gets Nellie Fox.
No run for the American leg and Pearson on the throw goes to second base.
Well, the fans, you can hear them are buzzing.
Davis threw himself a shot in there like he'd fired it out of a rifle.
The batter now is Frank Malzone, the newest popper.
Stands in right hand batter.
To the left he works his strike.
Fast ball in the outside corner about a letter high.
Outfield is pulled around to the left.
Davis near the corner.
Willie Mays in left center and Hank Aaron well away from the line in right.
He's way over by the right center field area.
Javier, the second baseman back near the edge of the grass for the National League wide away from the bag.
Malzone waits on the one strike pitch.
Look back to second.
Here she comes.
Foul back and it's strike two.
Well, the American League fans in the Cleveland area who do not have an opportunity to see too many of the National League stars are still really buzzing over their throw made by Davis to the plate.
And they got Nellie Fox, I would say rather easily.
Two strikes to Malzone, a runner on second for the American League, no score.
American League has had two hits.
Here's the check by O'Toole.
Back to Albie Pearson and the pitch coming down.
Outside, fastball, one ball, two strikes.
Malzone was tempted but held off.
Frank is having one of the fine years of a very bright Major League career.
And Miele motioning out to Albie Pearson, the base runner at second.
Two out, no score, one ball, two strikes, last of the first inning.
Here's the pitch.
Outside, ball two.
Oh, it's two balls, two strikes.
Albie Pearson taking a very short lead from second base.
As you know, the entire St. Louis Cardinal infield, as Boyer at third, Groat at short, Javier at second, and Bill White at first.
Here's a little looper going out in the left center field, might drop in, going out as Groat, and he's got it.
Fine play by Dick Groat, running away from infield, grabbed that one.

Fans have seen some real thrills in the early moments of this game.
I'm caught by Dick Grode of a little bloop where they looked like he was headed out there.
And here now, as we move to the top of the second inning, no score is Willie Mays.
Ken McBride retired the first three men to face him on bouncers to the third baseman.
Mays looks at a fastball outside of ball one.
The outfield is shaded around to the left for Willie.
McBride ready, the one-ball pitch.
Curve is low.
Ball two.
Willie Mays of the San Francisco Giants hitting 271.
He's got 16 home runs and 41 RBIs.
The two-ball pitch.
Strike on the outside corner, just above the knees.
McBride has gone to three hitters so far with a two-ball count
and then has come back together with a three-ball.
He's got a two-ball count and then has come back together.
On deck is Ed Bailey of the San Francisco Giants.
Here's the pitch outside ball three.
Three balls and a strike.
Ken McBride, lad from the west side of Cleveland,
pitching for the Los Angeles Angels and the American League,
facing Willie Mays.
Three-one pitch coming down.
Missed ball four.
So the National League has its first baserunner in the person of Willie Mays.
Dangerous man anytime on the bases.
And up now is Ed Bailey.
Bailey, of course, has played in Cleveland
since the Reds and the Indians combined in the San Lofa baseball benefit program.
Bailey came on to Cleveland and so he has seen this ballpark.
So Bailey a left-hand batter with Willie Mays jumping off to a good lead.
Joe Pepitone of the Yankees, the first baseman for the American League,
holds against him.
Here's the stretch and the pitch.
Little low inside, ball one.
Batty keeping an eye on Mays.
Bailey hitting 250 for the season in the National League so far
has 13 home runs, 39 RBIs.
Mays again jumps off to a lead.
Outfield is pulled to the right for this left-hand batter.
Here's the check on him and the pitch.
And he checked his swing and it's ball two.
No score. We're in the top of the second inning.
American League has had two hits.
National League has its first baserunner in the person of Willie Mays.
He drew a walk.
Now Ken McBride again looks in for the sign from Batty,
checks on Mays about a four-step lead away from first.
Pepitone holds against him, throw over, he's back.
Bill Joukowsky of the National League, the umpire first base,
standing right over the bag.
Again McBride stretches, checks and delivers.
And he gets it low outside, ball three.
Doug McBride has started to dig himself a little hole.
He's given up a pass to Mays.
He stands 3-0 against Ed Bailey, who checks now with Gene Mock,
the manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, coaching at third,
who has checked with Alvin Dark, the manager of the National League team.
Mays again with a shorter lead, three steps, checked by McBride on him.
Here's the pitch. Strike called, got the outside corner.
Now let's see whether Bailey goes on the 3-1.
He's checking with his third base coach, moves back in.
Earl Batty catching for the American League,
shouting out encouragement to Ken McBride.
Mays leads away. There he goes.
3-1 pitch swung on. Throw down to second base.
The tag by Versalys and he's safe.
Mays had a big jump on the ball.
A good throw by Batty right over the top of the bag.
Versalys came in beautifully, tried a backhand swipe at Mays,
but this base runner, Willie Mays, I'm sure you heard of him,
gets in there safely.
Stolen base for Willie Mays.
Three balls, two strikes now to Bailey.
National League with the runner on second.
Nobody out, no score.
Now field to the right. Here's the check and the pitch.
Foul, back out of play.
Willie Mays had picked up three stolen bases in all-star competition.
This is his fourth.
Thank you, George.
Kind of exciting to watch Willie, George, even when he just stands there.
You keep expecting something.
I guess he's a perfect ball player. He has everything.
Willie looking into the plate, three-two pitch coming down.
And it's ball four and it Bailey draws the walk.
And the National League now has a runner on second, a runner on first.
And nobody out.
So Ken McBride has given up two walks.
Up now is Ken Boyer.
Brother Cletus is the third baseman for the New York Yankees.
And when you talk to one of the Boyer brothers, he always wants to tell you about the other one.
Ken, with the Cardinals, hitting 3-0-2, has eight home runs, 52 RBI.
A fierce competitor and certainly a fine all-star.
Stands in, right-hand batter, feet fairly close together.
And McBride gives him a curve and he pops it to the right side.
The infield fly roll will be in effect.
Nelly Fox calling for the ball. He has it and one away.
One down, two on, no score.
We're in the top of the second inning.
Up now is Dick Groat, formerly of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Now the captain of the St. Louis Cardinals.
And a very inspirational leader.
Dick Groat so far on the year is hitting 3-26.
He's had five home runs, 40 RBI's for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The right-hand batter stands with his feet fairly wide apart over a closed stance.
Here's the pitch. Fastball strike on the inside corner.
Willie Mays, the base runner on second.
Ed Bailey, the runner first.
One out, one strike, and Groat the batter.
Groat hits to almost every field and he rarely strikes out.
Versalli's trying to keep Mays close.
Here's the pitch. Ground ball left side. Malzahn can't get it.
Here's Willie Mays going around third.
He's come on to score as Wagner throws in the third.
Boy, that ball had eyes as it went beyond the reach of Malzahn.
Versalli's tried for it and he couldn't get to it and rolled out into left field.
So the first hit for the National League is Dick Groats.
The first run of the ball game goes to the National League as Willie Mays comes on to score.
Bailey holds it second base.
Run batted in for Groats and Julian Javier, second base from the St. Louis Cardinals, right hand batter.
That's out of a slight crouch.
That close together wide stance.
Ken McBride checks the two runners.
Here's the pitch. Here's a drive deep in the left field of a state's fair.
It is curving and it is a foul ball.
Boy, that didn't miss by much.
This is Javier's first all-star game and he had some ideas.
He's a very slender build and apparently is loaded with power.
So Julian Javier hitting 270.
He's hit five home runs for the cards, has driven in 22 runs.
The outfield playing straight away.
It's the National League one, the American League nothing as we play in the top of the second one out.
Here's the pitch and it's a strike.
Curve ball top the outside corner. Strike two.
We were checking some of these players last night on the pronunciation of the names.
And Julian getting us about the J being sort of an H in Spanish.
Somebody asked him if he had a son if he'd call him Hoonier.
Two strike pitch is a curve strike free. Big curve ball started at him, broke over.
So the first strike out goes to Ken McBride as he gets Julian Javier.
And it brings up Jim O'Toole.
O'Toole is no automatic out.
He drives himself as most pitches do on his ability to swing that bat.
You got the bill of a hitter and up he comes from the Cincinnati Reds, their fine left-hander.
Jim O'Toole.
We're starting to get a little activity in the American League bullpen as Jim Bunning is up and starting to throw.
Here's the stretch now, the pitch coming to O'Toole. A foul back, not a play. Strike one.
Two down, two on. National League leads one to nothing.
Willie Mays drew a walk, stole second.
Bailey walked. Boyer popped to the second baseman.
Groat, with a single between the shortstop and the third baseman, brings in the first run of the game.
Now Ken McBride checks with Earl Batty.
Ed Bailey, the runner, in second.
Dick Groat, the runner, in first. Here's the pitch. Outside, fastball, one-one.
Bright day for this great affair.
Large, fleecy clouds out over Lake Erie.
As you know, the Municipal Stadium of Cleveland is on the shores of Lake Erie.
And the breeze is slight.
Here's the one-one pitch. Ground ball to the shortstop.
Versalys has it, goes to Fox for the force on Groat coming over.
And so the National League picks up a run.
Middle of the second inning. The score, National League won the American League nothing.
These All-Star games are usually pretty tight battles, aren't they, George?
Well, they sure are, Bob, except for 1946. Remember that one?
The Americans jumped to the two-nil lead in the first egg and kept on going to a 12-0 win.
Yes, they had the stuff it takes to stay out in front. It's like Gillette.
They've got the research and manufacturing skill that produces superior men's products.
Gillette Right Guard, for example, the country's leading power spray deodorant, gives 24-hour protection in just two seconds.
Its cool, refreshing mist dries on contact, gets right through for complete protection against odor.
Seventy-nine cents. Or the new Economy King size for only a dollar.
Another Gillette winner is extra-rich Foamy Instant Lather that keeps your beard drenched through the entire shave.
It gives you a refreshing lift, a clean, cool shave every time, with K-34 antiseptic to kill harmful facial bacteria.
Gillette Foamy, 79 cents, with a giant economy size, only 98 cents.
That's not like warming up the picture that time.
Oh, too, was Mari Wills of all people.
Well, that's unusual, but that shows the great ability of these art all-stars and their desire to get in the game somehow, doesn't it, George?
Here's Leon Wagner, powerfully built left-hand batter against the left-hand road tools, swings and misses.
Wagner had himself a wonderful year last year with the Angels, and he's having another fine year this year.
He's been the scourge of American League pitchers. He can really bang that baseball.
Hit 20 home runs, takes outside, curveball down low.
59 RBIs for Leon Wagner in a 330 batting average. He's one of the top 10 in the American League.
Outfield straightaway for him, breezed, blowing towards right center field.
Here's the 1-1 pitch. Fastball cut the corner at the knees, and it's one ball, two strikes.
Leon Wagner's one of the very few ball players in baseball who hit with their hands apart an inch or so on the bat, and he's a pretty fair bid for the triple crown.
I should say, here's the 1-2 pitch by O'Toole. Fastball foul back out of play.
And an all-star souvenir has just gone into the stands.
One ball, two strikes. National League leads 1-0. This is the last of the second inning.
Here's a little line drive, hit out over the head of the third baseman, base hit as Wagner reached out and swept that ball in the left.
Well, the American League has picked up its third hit, although it has failed to score a run.
And Jim O'Toole now will have to face Earl Batty, the catcher of the Minnesota Twins.
Here's the stretch, the check on the runner. Here's the pitch to Batty. Takes high, ball one.
National League converting two bases on balls, a stolen base, and a single to pick up a run in the second inning.
American League had two singles in the first, but couldn't score as Davis came up with a great throw from the outfield.
Pitch to Batty, outside, ball two. O'Toole now, 2-0, two balls, no strikes.
Jim Bunning was loosening up, while the National League was at bat.
There's a foul, and it's two balls and a strike.
Two balls, one strike. Nobody out. Here's Earl Batty standing in against the left-hander Jim O'Toole.
Outfield has swung around to the left for him. Sun shining brightly, O'Toole checks now on Leon Wagner, the baserunner.
Two-one pitch, and a strike call. Started the curve way outside of this right-hand batter.
Larry Jackson of the Chicago Cubs now starting to throw in the National League bullpen.
Right-hander, two balls, two strikes. O'Toole again checks on Wagner, the runner at first.
Here's the 2-2 pitch, change up curve outside, ball three.
O'Toole was trying to set Batty up. Earl Batty wears a sort of side cover on his helmet.
Protection against any additional blow is about two years ago.
3-2 pitch by O'Toole as he checks on Wagner, comes down.
There's a solid smash in the right center field, going back out there's air near the fence, and he hauls it in.
And back to first base goes Leon Wagner. Ball hit hard by Earl Batty, but Henry Aaron over there in the corner and right center field, hauls her in for a long out number one.
One away. Up now is Joe Pepitone.
Joe Pepitone is really just a few years away from playing in school.
And last year as a rookie was up with the Yankees for a while. This year is first full year honored by his peers as the American League's first-priceman.
277 average left-hand batter. O'Toole checks on Wagner, delivers. There's a slash foul into the stands in left field.
Pepitone has hit 14 home runs already in the American League, has driven in 44 runs.
Very fancy young fellow with a glove. Most people are greedy. He has a great career ahead of him.
One strike in the pitch. Curve ball, pounded fouls right side going off against the facing of the temporary box seats.
Two strikes now to Joe Pepitone.
National League leading 1-0. This is the last of the second inning.
Joe Pepitone facing O'Toole. And he struck him out through a fast ball right by. Strike two.
And that is a strikeout for the American League, a strikeout for the National League as Jim O'Toole gets his first strikeout.
Ken McBride gets up his first in the second. And the score, National League 1 and the American League nothing.
Here's Zolo Versalis, whose name to his first All-Star game. Right-hand batter crotches over that plate, hands up well away from his body.
O'Toole the left-hander hits him with the pitch and on the first base goes Versalis. On the second goes Wigand.
So Versalis becomes the first hit batsman of the game. His arms start to hang out over that plate.
He pulled back with the breaking ball. Looks like a slider got him. His manager, Sam Healy, who is the first base coach, is checking on him.
So Ken McBride now comes up. Two out, two on. National League leading 1 to nothing. This is the last of the second inning.
The American League has had three hits. The National League has had but one, but the National League has the run.
The outfield is fairly shallow in all fields. Straight away O'Toole, the left-hander checks Wigand to the runner at second, delivers.
Too high. Ball one.
Willie Mays guiding the other members of the National League outfield. He's got Davis over a little in the corner and left.
Aaron almost straight away and right. Here's the check on the runner's bio, O'Toole, the one-ball pitch.
Right. Went after the curve and didn't get it. One-on-one.
Ken McBride, the pitcher, facing Jim O'Toole, the left-hander working for the National League in the last of the second inning.
1 to nothing. National League leads. Here's the check by O'Toole and the one-one pitch. Comes down.
Bouncer, slow roller, left side. Rolling foul.
So back comes Ken McBride. It's one ball, two strikes. Two out and two on.
Breeze has diminished somewhat, although it's still flickering out towards right center field. A perfect day for baseball.
Fans being treated to the best of both of the major leagues here in Cleveland, Ohio.
One ball, two strikes. O'Toole ready. Works the pitch. Curve ball. And it gets by the third baseman and a run comes to a score.
Here's Wagner coming on. Davis up with a ball, throwing in the third base. They throw down a second on the slide by McBride and he's safe.
So Ken McBride slaps the singles through the left side, enabling Leon Wagner to come on the score, tying up the ball game
and moving with very alert running was Versaliz who went to third and on the throw to third, the pitcher McBride moved to second.
So a run batted in for Ken McBride, who helped his own cause with Edmund.
The score is a single. So a good job by Joe Versaliz with alert base running, getting him around to third and McBride alert to the situation of Versaliz moving to third and with the throw going that way.
He just picked him up and moved on with a long slide into second base, as given the American League runners at second and third.
Two men out and Nellie Fox the batter. Little conference now between Dick Grode and the pitcher O'Toole. The outfield is shallow of course for Fox with the exception of Aaron the right fielder.
Fox can pull the ball. Now Bill White moves back to first baseman. Runners lead away. Score tied one and one in the last and second.
Here's the pitch. Fastball inside the Fox and it's ball one.
Ken Boyer, the third baseman, is playing about two steps off the edge of the grass. He cannot move in too far because he wants to keep Versaliz fairly close at third.
McBride leads away at second. There's a little looper hit down the line. Davis is there and he's got it. So Fox lines to Davis and the side is retired but the American League ties it up.
So at the end of the second inning, the score is National League won, the American League won.
Ran in to Yankee manager Ralph Hough just before the team took the field said he noticed that many of the fellas are already swinging to new Gillette Sunup aftershave.
You get it free with the purchase of the Slim Adjustable Razor Set on Gillette's special offer. Men prefer Sunup's crisp masculine fragrance.

Tommy Davis. Well, we now have a tied up ballgame. The American League with two hits in that inning. A hit batsman was vital to keeping their hopes alive.
There were no errors. Two men are left and it's tied up 1-1 as we go to the top of the third. Tommy Davis takes the fast ball low outside.
The Dodger left fielder, who was the National League Batting Champion last year with a 3.46 batting area, made a great throw in the first inning.
Takes low outside, ball two as Ken McBride works to him. Jim Bunning is up again and throwing in the American League bullpen.
Bunning worked on Sunday for the Tigers and McBride is working with three days rest. A solid smash in the left center field.
Base hit. Oh, that ball really took off. Davis makes the turn at first in the holes as Albie Pearson fires it into Bersalves, the shortstop.
So Tommy Davis drilled one and that is hit number two for the National League.
Here's Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves, right hand batter. And Bunning is starting to throw a little harder in the bullpen.
He's tied 1-1, the American League with four hits. These All-Stars have played errorless ball. McBride checks on the runner Davis.
Here's the pitch to Aaron. Curved low outside, ball one. That field straight away.
McBride working for the American League. Checks now and Davis delivers to Aaron. Low inside, ball two.
Penn's trying to get these National League sluggers to go for something less than right down the middle of the alley.
Aaron works very quietly but can swing that bat. Hits this one, pow. McBride worked him inside and Aaron pulled it over the roof back of third base.
Aaron keeps that bat well away from his body back and cocked around his right ear.
Leon Wagner, the left fielder for the American League, backed up near the fence. Albie Pearson over in left center and a big hole open in right center.
Two balls and one strike now to Hank Aaron of the National League Milwaukee Braves. Tommy Davis, the Dodger, leads away.
Here's the pitch, a bouncing ball to Marilzone. Goes to Fox for one and can't make the throw.
Davis in there sort of upset Fox so that he could not get his throw away. He didn't dump him but sort of kept Fox from making the throw.
Force play. Aaron becomes the runner on the fielder's choice. Play went from Marilzone to Fox. One away.
Runner first and Bill White the batter. We're in the top of the third and the score is tied. National League one, American League one.
Tommy Davis, a very fast man and carries 200 pounds in the frame. That's why Nellie Fox sort of stepped out of there.
Low and in the dirt. Good pickup by Patty. One ball to count. One out. One to one ball game in the top of the third inning.
White sort of works that bat around like youngster would work a little stick. He keeps it loose. Ball two inside.
Now White checks in with Gene Mock, the coach at third base for the National League. Moves back in, checks his belt.
Hank Aaron, the base runner first staying close with Pepitone holding against him. McBride checking with Earl Batty, the catcher, has the sign.
He checks on Aaron, delivers. There's a swing and a high bouncer. Pepitone grabs it and is going to go to first and he just gets there.
He looked down to second as if he might throw to Versalys to try and get Aaron.
Realized that he would not be able to get to speedy Aaron and elected to race to the back. Beat White. White bounces out. Pepitone unassisted.
There is no sacrifice there. Aaron is moved down to second. And it brings up Willie Mays, number 24 of the San Francisco Giants.
Two downs. Score tied. One and one. We're in the top of the third. Aaron was a good lead from second. Ken McBride works to Willie and it's high. Ball one.
Willie Mays has 14 runs in 14 all-star games, hitting 422 in all-star competition. So he's been spectacular.
Little low, ball two.
Outfield shades a little to the left for Willie and all of them respectfully deep. Versalys, the shortstop, very deep.
Hank Aaron with a good lead from second base. Two out, two ball pitch. To her right, caught the corner.
McBride started that ball about the center of the plate, nipped the outside corner. He broke it down and away from Mays.
Jim Bunning of the Tigers still working. Here's the next pitch. Low outside. He tried to get him to go for the fastball. Missed with it. Three and one.
So a big pitch coming up for Ken McBride. Three balls, one strike. Two out, Aaron the runner on second. And on deck is the left-hand batting Ed Bailey.
Mays walked his first time, upscored the National League's run. Swings and drills a single into left center. Here's Aaron making the turn. The third-hills score.
Willie Mays makes the turn at first and holds as it struggles into second base. Though Willie Mays drills one. And it's now a two-to-one ball game as the National League goes out ahead.
Third hit. The National League have made those base hits count. Aaron coming on. Though it was a vital play that the bouncer, Bill White, could not be fielded in time to throw to second for a sacrifice or a force play at second.
And Aaron as a result of the base hit comes on to score. National League two, American League one. Mays now the base runner and Ed Bailey the batter. He walked his last time up. Ken McBride works to him and he swings and misses. Strike one.
The outfield is straight away. And the right-hander watches Willie Mays. He's got a pretty good lead, Joe Pepitone. There goes Mays and here's the bat. He will not make the throw. The pitch was low inside.
Mays looking around. He lost his cap about four feet from the bag. He wondered where the ball was. Ball was down low. Baddy grabbed it and decided not to make the throw. For fear he'd throw it away. One and one now with two out.
Willie Mays with a good lead from second. Here's the pitch. Here's a base hit in the right field. It's going to go through. Here's Mays making the turn at third as Albie Pearson is up with the ball and throws into second base.
So Bailey rips one into right center field. And the National League goes ahead three to one on only four base hits.
In comes Willie Mays after making it to second base brought home by Bailey's single. And a run batted in for Bailey. Two out and Ken Boyer, the third baseman from the Cardinals who popped to the second baseman in the second inning. McBride works to him and gets a strike over the outside corner.
The base hit by Willie Mays gave him his 20th hit which ties him with Stan Musial for greatest number of hits among present company in all-star competition.
So it's two strikes now to Ken Boyer. Outfield is shaded around to the left a little bit. The runner at first base is Ed Bailey. Boyer waits now as McBride delivers a curve way outside. One ball, two strikes.
So the National League started to go to work with two out. These have been scorching singles. There's not been any home runs. Three to one, the National League leads. It's even. There's a big curve outside and it's a ball two. Two balls, two strikes.
This is the top of the third inning. The National League three, the American League one. Joe Pepitone, the first baseman playing back of the runner by about two steps.
Ed Bailey leads away. Ball three outside. Three and two count. Three balls, two strikes. So Ken McBride is experiencing a little trouble. He comes in close with that pitch.
And these swingers from the National League are banging that ball. Bailey will be going. There he goes. Three, two pitch. Fly ball hit in the left field. Leon Wagner moves in on the warning path. Should have it. And does. And that's all.
But the National League has picked up two runs and the middle of the third inning, the score is National League three, the American League one. Well again this year, the All-Star game is a top attraction, just like Gillette's special offer.
Three Sunup aftershave with a purchase of the 150 Slim Adjustable Razor set. Sunup gives you that top of the morning feeling, a sense of well-being that lasts. And its crisp man-style fragrance really charms the ladies too.

We have a new battery now. We have Larry Jackson of the Chicago Cubs coming on the pitch for the National League. Johnny Edwards of the Cincinnati Reds will do the catching.
That's the first changes that we have seen in this All-Star Classic. National League leads 3-1 as we go to the last of the third inning.
And the first batter to face the right-hander from the Chicago Cubs, Larry Jackson, will be the outfielder from the Los Angeles Angels, Albie Pearson.
Alvin Dark wanted to have a clarification from umpire Hank Soar of where these fellows might go in the batting order, for I'm sure that the members of the press, instead of knowing how they will bat, and I think that's what's being sent along a slight.
No, maybe not. Edwards is now heading back towards the dugout. Jackson in the meantime is playing catch with the shortstop. So it may well be that there might have been a change here.
And Edwards is going back in. Could it be that they're not going to take out the catcher?
Gotta play three innings. I think you just reminded Alvin Dark that the starters must play the first three innings, and that's what it is. And so back comes Ed Bailey.
All right, we're all straight away now. Ed Bailey, who had virtually was all set to watch the rest of the game along with us, now comes back out.
So we're ready to go as Larry Jackson comes on from the Chicago Cubs to take over the pitching charge. Jackson of the Cubs is nine and seven, a right-hander. Works a fast ball outside and high.
Oh, one. O'Toole worked two innings and gave up four hits. There's a strike. One and one. O'Toole did not walk a batter, and he struck out one.
He hit one, and he surrendered a total of four hits. He's charged with one run. Here's the one-one pitch. There's a drive foul.
Boy, Albie Pearson laid a little wood on that ball and lined it into the lower box seats.
The outfield playing straight away. They are not shallow for Albie Pearson. Here's the one-two pitch by Jackson. Inside, ball two, two and two.
Alvin Dark had sent Edwards out. Of course, these managers want all of these young men to play. Here's the two-two pitch.
There's a looper foul curving down near the stands, racing over as Davis, but no chance. Out of play. Two balls, two strikes.
Managers want to give every opportunity to all of these young men who have been selected to get into the game.
The two-two pitch coming to Pearson. Bouncer foul going into the American League dugout.
That one got one of his associates down there in the dugout who just shouted, I'm on the same team.
Two balls, two strikes. The pitch to Pearson. Two high, ball three. Larry Jackson, one of the most capable performers on the mound.
Another year has started with the St. Louis Cardinals, now doing an outstanding job with the Cubs. Works on the three-two pitch.
There's a line grab on the left side of field. It's going to be in there for a base hit, chasing after this Willie Mays.
There goes Alvin Pearson, digging for two. Mays up with the ball, fires it into third, and Alvin Pearson with a double.
The fans are applauding for two things. One, the power and placement of that base hit by Alvin Pearson that went all the way to the fence.
And the other, the spectacular fielding by Willie Mays who on the dead run circled around behind Davis at the fence, came up with the ball, came out from behind, and fired it into third all in the same motion.
The score, the National League three, the American League one. But the American League having a base runner on second hit number five for the American League.
And here's Al Kailon hit a fly ball to the left. Jackson, the right-hander, works to him with a strike.
Four hits surrendered by O'Toole. Jackson surrenders a base hit to the first man he faces.
All right, Alvin Pearson leads away. Here's the look back to him by Jackson and the pitch to Kailon.
Swings a bouncer foul wide of third, and a happy souvenir.
The Cleveland Indians have erected some temporary box seats around the front of the normal stands area, and that little fence is shorter than the regular fence.
And fans, of course, with good exercise, are picking off a few souvenirs.
Two strikes now to Kailon, stands deep in that box. Jackson looks back to Pearson on second.
Three-one, the score, National League leads. Three-one pitch, strike, call.
And Al Kailon called out on strikes as Jackson exploded the curve ball over the outside corner.
Jackson gets his first strikeout, second registered by National League pitches today.
Frank Malzone, he popped to the shortstop his first time up.
Frank Malzone of the Boston Red Sox, hitting.329 as the 12 home runs, 53 RBIs in the regular season.
Takes low outside, ball one. Ed Bailey remaining in the game, handling the catching.
And Larry Jackson, who took over the pitching, from Jim O'Toole, working with Albie Pearson, the base runner.
National League leads three-one as we play in the last of the third.
Here's the stretch check back to Pearson, the base runner, and cutting over is Javier.
And all of a sudden, there was almost a pitch. Malzone's hoping the pitch would be made.
Javier broke over to try a pickoff play on Pearson.
And now Albie's looking back out towards him.
One ball pitch, and it's low outside, ball two.
But for a moment, like Albie was a little frightened by all that commotion back there,
he was looking in to see what was developing in front of him.
Two balls a count, one out, one on, and a strike. Malzone tried to check his swing, but it was over and it's two and one.
The outfield for the National League is playing Frank Malzone well around the left,
giving him virtually all of the right field area.
Hank Aaron is in right center, Willie Mays in left center, and Davis around the corner and left.
Jackson checks Pearson, the 2-1 pitch. There's a little looper hit on the left field.
That's going to be a base hit. Here's Albie Pearson hitting third. He's going to score. Davis throws in the second base.
It's 3-2 now. The National League leads.
So Malzone just stroked that little short looper out into left field.
Malzone gets a run batted in, and that is hit number six for the American League, 3-2.
The National League leads, and here's Leon Wagner.
He stroked a single in the second inning and scored the first American League run.
So Malzone, celebrating the birth of his new baby boy, gets himself a base hit.
Wagner, a slow roll to right side. Bill White waiting for it, flips to Jackson, covers, and out at first is Wagner, moving down to second is Malzone.
Wagner sort of topped that ball up on the handle.
White made a good play on the ball, electing to let Jackson continue, who had broken from the mound towards first, threw it over to him, and the play goes from the first baseman, White, to the pitcher.
Malzone moving to second base on the play.
So the American League has a runner on second, two out, and Earl Batty the batter. He lined to the right fielder, Hank Aaron.
First time up. Batty, with a very open stance, has his left foot pointed down towards third base.
He's a right hand batter. Malzone leads from second. Jackson, the right hander, ready to work.
Here's the pitch. Foul, off into the stands. Strike one.
That one started in the upper deck, wound up in the lower deck, and the fan that got it did not expect it.
Two out, one strike, three to two the score. The National League leads by one. Malzone represents the tying run.
Batty swings and has a base hit and a set of fields. Malzone makes the turn at third as Mance comes up with the ball and he will score. Score is tied 3-3.
Earl Batty and the Minnesota twins come through with a base hit.
Off Jackson, his third hit. Jackson now has given up two runs. And here's Joe Puppetone, the free swinging, very capable first baseman of the New York Yankees.
Not field, moves around to the right. Two out, runner first, score tied 3-3.
Jackson, the right hander, checks on the runner first batty, works to Puppetone. A swing and a miss. Strike one.
Bill White playing back of the bag with Puppetone, the batter.
Joe Puppetone, waiting now, left hand batter against the right hander. Here's the pitch to him. And he swings and he drills one in the right field.
And when he is there, he makes the catch and that retires the side.
But the National League gets two runs and at the end of three, the score is tied. National League 3, American League 3.
Although Brooks Robinson isn't in the lineup at the moment, Casey Stengel rates him as one of the finest third basemen since Pied Trainers.
Brooks is a pro who plays with the enthusiasm of a kid. He's enthusiastic about Gillette, too, one of our biggest boosters.
He's already sold on Gillette's newest product, Sunup aftershave.

We have a new pitcher now for the American League, Jim Bunning comes on the takeover.
Bunning, who hails from down Kentucky Way, used to when he traveled during the baseball season, would have Bertie Tebbott's living in his house.
Bertie Tebbott was then the manager of Cincinnati.
Jim Bunning is 31, he's 6 foot 395 pounder, hails from Fort Thomas, Kentucky.
And this is the fifth time that Jim Bunning has been selected.
He's pitched 12 innings, has won one and lost none, has given up only four hits in all that time.
Dick Grode of the St. Louis Cardinals will face Bunning and here's the first pitch.
Fastball for a strike.
Ken McBride, who started, gave up three runs and gave up four hits.
It's tied three and three as we go to the top of the fourth.
Grode had a single his last time, takes a curve, big slow curve, started at this batter and then broke over.
Bunning is a, I guess ballplayers would say, a very difficult man to follow because he throws almost three-quarters sidearm and sort of falls towards first base as he delivers the ball.
So Grode now moves up a little in the batter's box and Bunning is ready to go with a two-strike pitch.
Score tied three-three, a real thriller. Here's the two-strike delivery.
Curve is low outside, one and two.
Some American League batsmen try to bunt on Bunning, figuring that with his move towards first, if they can bunt the ball towards third, they lessen some of his effectiveness.
Outfield is shaded to the opposite side for Grode.
One ball and two strikes, the pitch. There's a fly ball hit into right field.
K-line is there, moves back a couple of steps, hauls it in and there's one away.
So Dick Grode is out number one in the top of the fourth.
Ken McBride, who worked the first three innings, gave up four hits, walked two batters, struck out one and gave up three runs.
Here's Julianne Javier, second baseman from the St. Louis Cardinals, called out on strikes in the second inning. He's batting in the number eight spot.
Outfield for the American League has Wagner in left, Albie Pearson in center, and K-line in right, straight away.
Curve for a strike.
Bunning, with his very effective sidearm motion, makes his curve doubly effective since he starts it right in at him.
Frank Malzahn, the third baseman, about even with a bag.
Zolo Versales of Minnesota, the shortstop, deep. Here's the one strike pitch, fast ball outside.
One ball and one strike.
Three to three, the score. Seven hits for the American League, four hits for the National League.
We've had one double, the rest have been singles. Albie Pearson of the Los Angeles Angels with two hits.
The one-one pitch. There's a high pop near the mound. Malzahn shading his eyes, moving in as his glass is down and makes the catch.
That sun is brutal about this time, but Frank Malzahn takes it two down.
Two up, two down as we play in the top of the fourth 3-3 ball game.
And we will have Larry Jackson, the batter.
Larry Jackson. Jackson from the Chicago Cubs.
The pitcher, that's as he throws from the right side.
And the outfield is straight away for him, not too deep.
Swings and he drives one into center field. Albie Pearson is there.
The little fella straightens away, makes the catch, and that retires the side.
National League goes down in one, two, three order. At the end of three and a half innings, the score.
National League 3, the American League 3.
Bob O'Lo, Veda Pinson just missed making the All-Star team.
Having a party here, isn't he?
He sure is. I had a chat with Veda recently, and is he happy about that batting average?
And another thing he's enthusiastic about is new Gillette Sunup aftershade.
You know Sunup is available free with the purchase of the 150 Gillette Slim Adjustable Racer Set.
For the top of the morning feeling fans, try Sunup.

Last half of the fourth inning, Zylo Versales, the shortstop from the Minnesota Twins,
playing in his first All-Star game hit by a pitch by O'Toole, stands in against Larry Jackson, the right-hander.
Here's the arm coming down on the pitch, about a tenth foul. Strike one.
Boyer came charging in, and that's one of the reasons he's on the All-Star team.
He really moves. Not feel around the left. One strike pitch.
Bouncing ball, going through, base hit for Versales.
Makes the turn at first, but holds as Davis with that great arm throws in the second base.
So the American League starts off here in the fourth inning with a base hit.
That's hit number eight. Fourth hit off Larry Jackson, who came on to work in the third.
O'Toole worked the first two innings.
And Jim Bunning, the batter. Bunning who took over for Ken McBride.
Good swinger. That's from the right side, deep in the batter's box, holds that bat well away from his head.
Boyer looking for a bunt. It is bunted. It's foul.
So the score tied 3-3. The American League trying to move Versales, a very fast man, down to second,
with the top of the batting order coming up.
Now a little exchange among the National League All-Stars.
Boyer has moved into the cut of the grass at third base.
Bill White is playing inside of the bag at first, ready to charge in.
And of course, this is one of the most beautiful plays in baseball, to watch its execution.
Throw to first, back safely. Close play.
Bill White throwing that glove down on Versales. Good throw by Jackson.
One strike and a stretch. Check on Versales. Leads away.
Here's the pitch to Bunning. And he bunts it along the first baseline.
Grabbing it is White. Can't go to second. Goes to first, throwing to Javier.
Sacrifice is good, and Bunning moves Versales to second base.
So we have a runner on second for the American League.
Score tied 3-3, and Nellie Fox, who lined to the left fielder and single his first time up,
and who almost scored in the first inning.
Would have, except for Tommy Davis, who fired a real strike, you know.
Jim Bouton of the New York Yankees, starting to throw in the Yankee bullpen,
and we're about to get some activity in the National League bullpen.
Versales leads from second as the pitch comes down a buck, down a third baseline foul.
Fox just dropped the bat, let the bat do the work, and he was halfway down the first baseline.
Little conference, as Ed Bailey shouts some encouragement out to Larry Jackson.
The outfield is shallow for Fox, with Willie Mays practically playing deep shortstop,
and Tommy Davis at deep third base.
All right, one strike, one out. A runner on second.
Here's the pitch to Fox. Fouls it back on the screen, and it's strike two.
Ray Culp of the Philadelphia Philz, the right-hander, goes to work in the National League bullpen.
Jim Bouton, the right-hander from the Yankees, starting to throw in the American League bullpen.
Three to three the score. Eight hits for the American League, four hits for the National League.
Check back on Versales now by Larry Jackson. Pitch to Nellie Fox.
Down low, nice stop by Bailey, and it's one and two.
Zoro Zolo, Zolo Versales, open this inning with a single, sacrifice to second by Bunning,
standing there with a good lead. Jackson checks the sign, checks the runner.
Here's the pitch, and it's inside. Ball two, two balls, two strikes.
Nellie Fox, who despite the fact that he's the oldest American League player in this game,
shows the enthusiasm of a young boy, chokes up on that bat about six inches,
looks out to Jackson, who's ready to work. Pitch coming down, and he throws bat at it,
dropped out of the catcher's mitt, now going to third as Versales, and to throw to first, and he's out.
Strikeout with an assist going down. He didn't see the ball, and Versales moved to third base on the play.
Ed Bailey could not find that ball, and by the time he had discovered it,
and the time Fox, who was discouraged by the fact that he had struck out,
could move on out to throw us to first, but Versales moved to third.
Two down now, and Albie Pearson, with two hits in two times a bat, stands in against Jackson.
Here's the pitch. Strike on the outside corner.
Albie Pearson, the littlest man in the game, a double all the way to the fence in left center,
and the third, started the American League rally, and is going to butt it and took it.
Outfield is straight away. Jim Boughton throwing in the American League bullpen.
Ray Culp from the Philadelphia Phillies throwing in the National League bullpen.
Larry Jackson now with a two-strike count on Albie Pearson, two outrunner at third.
Here's the pitch. Down low, one and two.
Right side of the infield for the National League, well back with this left-hand batter.
Ken Boyer, not taking any chances on Pearson, is playing even with the bag.
One-two pitch on the way, and it's too low for ball two.
Score tied, 3-3. American League have picked up eight hits.
The National League have four, but the runs are the same, three and three.
This is the fourth inning, last of the fourth.
Down low, ball three, as Albie Pearson attempted and then held off.
The ball broke down and away.
Three balls, two strikes. Two out, Versalli's the baserunner at third.
On deck is Al Kailin. Here's Jackson with the 3-2 pitch.
Down she comes, and it's a ground ball foul.
Bill White with a good glove comes up with it, but a foul ball.
Always an impressive sight to take a look at the umpires who, right on the line,
Hank Saw at the plate, Bill Joukowski at first base,
Bill Haller of the American League out there along the line.
Three-two pitch coming down, struck him out, getting a curve ball, changed the speed, got him on it.
So the American League fail to score in their half of the fourth,
and at the end of four innings, the score is tied, National League three, American League three.
You know, Bob, they really have to go something to Matt Stan,
who's record-parked in the second of all-star games.
You said it, George. Stan has appeared in 24 straight.
You just can't beat that for consistency.

Tommy Davis.
Well, we have a change in the American League lineup now.
Bobby Richardson of the New York Yankees has moved in to play second base.
So here's Tommy Davis leading off against Jim Bunning.
Ball one outside. Fast ball.
Score tied, 3-3.
The American League have been able to pick up eight hits, four hits for the National League.
Bunning, with his familiar pose, the glove and the hand on the knee,
works now to wind up the one-ball pitch down low ball two, little inside, two and nothing.
So Nellie Fox leaves. Bobby Richardson is in at second base.
Score tied, 3-3, as we play in the top of the fifth inning.
Jim Bunning with the two-ball pitch. Misses ball three.
Davis has bounced out single, sharply in the left,
and his excellent throw in the first inning brought this crowd virtually to its feet.
Three and nothing count.
Jim Bunning with the three-and-nothing pitch.
Hits it over, three and one.
Davis takes a look down to Gene Mock, the Philadelphia Phillies manager,
coaching at third base for the National League.
And on the 3-1, we'll see what Tommy Davis decides to do.
The wind up by Bunning, pitch on the way, and he takes it for ball four outside.
Bunning gives up a walk, and the National League has a baserunner.
That is the third base on balls given up by American League pitcher today, Ken McBride,
who worked the first three-walk maze in Bailey.
Bunning, who retired the side in order in the fourth, gives up his first walk.
And up there now is Hank Aaron. He's forced a runner and bounced out.
He'd like umpire Hank Schor to take a look at the baseball, Earl Batty reaching up.
And Hank Schor says it's okay. Back out she goes.
Amazing thing of baseball, it's delivered by these all-star pitchers.
Travels probably in excess of 100 miles an hour.
The batter sometimes can notice a little smudge or something on it.
Here's the stretch, the check on Davis by Bunning, the pitch, and it's outside, ball one.
Aaron takes a look down to Gene Mock. Score tied 3-3. We're in the top of the fifth inning.
Three runs on four hits, no errors for the National League.
Three runs on eight hits and no errors for the American League.
Outfield deep in all positions for Aaron.
Pitch by Bunning, there's a high fly ball into right center field.
Albie Pearson is under it and takes it. And there's one away in the fifth inning.
One down. Up now is Bill White. White the left-hand batter.
He's bounced out to the third baseman, grounded out to Joe Pepitone, the first baseman.
He's 0 for 2.
The outfield naturally with this powerful left-hand batter, swings to the right.
Richardson in now at second base, moves deep.
Now is on a cutaway from third in the event of a bunt or a slash on that side.
Bunning checks on Davis, the runner at first. Pitch coming.
There's a foul back in the stands, out of play.
One strike to Bill White. Score tied 3-3.
Bill White is the first to reach 100 hits of any batsman in either league in this season of 1963.
He's been stroking that ball for the St. Louis Cardinals.
One out, one on, one strike. The next pitch.
He hits a little number to the left side. Malzone coming over, goes back to second.
The Richardson ball bounces out of his glove. There's Davis going on.
And White had made a big turn at first, but will get back safely.
Malzone came in on that number that was hit just to the left of the mound in trying to throw to Richardson.
He hit him up on the hands, and the ball bounced out of Bobby Richardson's glove.
Official scores will talk that one over.
I'm sure White will get on on the fielder's choice.
Now the question is whether they'll...
They've charged an error, I believe, to Malzone.
High and outside, ball one.
One ball to count.
Did you hear that, George?
I didn't hear it, no, sir.
An error charged to the American League on the play of second base, enabling Davis to go on to third.
One ball to count, one out, score tied 3-3. First error of the ball game.
Bill White the runner at first, Davis the runner at third, Lily Mays the batter.
Here's the one ball pitch, and he fouls it back.
Blunting not an easy man for a right-hander to hit.
Culp will undoubtedly come on in the last of the fifth.
He has concluded his warm-up tosses and has moved near the gateway out in left field.
The outfield change to the left.
The 1-1 pitch to Mays, swings and hits the number to the right side.
Pepiton grabs the ball, is going to the bag, and Davis comes on to score.
Now, Willie Mays just pushed that ball to the right side.
Pepiton grabbing the ball, stepped on first.
And Ed Bailey, who had moved out there, is called back.
As Willie Mays grounds out to the first baseman, Davis comes on to score, and it's 4-3, the National League.
And on to second base goes Bill White.
Mays moves up the runner.
And here comes Stan the Man Museum.
Well, you heard it.
Stan Museum, playing in his 24th game, hitting.323 with that very famous pose of his with a little hula thrown in besides.
Runner on second, pitches a swing and a miss for a strike.
The official scores have indicated to us that the error has been charged to Bobby Richardson,
the error which enabled Davis to go on to third.
4-3, the National League now leading.
On Willie Mays, bouncer to the first baseman, Pepiton, bringing Davis in from third.
Pitch to Museo, swings and grabs one in the right field.
K-line is there, and he makes the catch.
Line drive to Al K-line.
So, no one run, no hits, one error.
And it's the end of four and a half innings, National League 4, the America League 3.

We move to the last half of the fifth inning, the score, National League Four, the American League Three.
Now my pleasure to turn this microphone over to the gentleman of the Kansas City A's, Mr. George Bryson.
Thank you very much, Bob.
In the last half of the fifth inning, it will be K-line, Malzone, and Wagner scheduled against Ray Culp of the field.
Culp's a right-hander, very good fastball, throws hard, good slider and curve.
Johnny Edwards has now come in to catch, Cincinnati catcher.
And Edwards will be batting in the number nine spot.
The first pitch down to K-line's a curve, call strike.
No other changes in the lineup right now. It's still Davis, Mays, and Aaron.
Boyer, Grohl, and Javier in white.
Brand-new battery. Culp in the windup. Here's the pitch on the way.
K-line bounces it back to the left side of the mound.
A backhand play by the pitcher, throws the first, got him.
Nice play. K-line bounces one.
Passed the mound off to the side of the mound, and Ray Culp went off towards third, backhanded it, and threw him out.
One out on the fifth, and the score all tied.
Correction.
Score is four to three, National League leading.
Frank Malzone, right-hand hitter, popped out to the shortstop, single score, and a run, and a knock in a run.
Right-hand hitter, pitches low, ball.
On Malzone, they play around the left and short, all the way around.
Dick Grohl to shortstop back in the hole.
Right-hand hitter, Ray Culp in the windup, delivers.
A call strike on the hands over the inside corner, so it's now a ball on the strike.
Score four to three, the National League leads.
Good ballgame, sparkling plays.
Willie Mays in left-center field.
Here's the pitch.
Heddy's bad on a check swing at the strike, and it's a ball and two strikes.
One out on the fifth.
Heddy's going to check the left-hander on the bullpen now, the Houston Colt 45s.
Culp of the Fills facing Malzone of the Red Sox.
Ball and two strikeouts.
Next pitch on the way is a fastball, a bit high, all even out two and two.
Culp has been a starting pitcher for the Phillies, and some relief.
Here's the 2-2 pitch.
It's taken a bit low, and we go all the way now, three balls, two strikes.
They give Malzone all the right field line, perhaps 100 feet of it all the way.
I think it's a dead-pull hitter.
Here's the windup now, payoff pitch.
Curveball popped up back of the plate.
He's back in the stands.
Johnny Edwards gave Chase the ball back in the seat.
Great big crowd here today out in center field,
Bleacherites enjoying the sunshine, and a good ball game.
Four to three, NASA League.
Malzone hanging in there.
Culp has the sign.
He's in the windup.
Here it comes.
Ball to Schwann hit high to right field.
Aaron, shading his eyes down with the glasses, makes the catch, two out.
Two out on the fifth.
That'll bring on Leon Wagner.
Wagner, single in the second inning and scored a run,
first run of the American League, grounded out in the first baseman of the pitcher,
covering in the third.
A left-hand hitter.
Wagner of the Los Angeles Angels, the halo on his hat.
In the windup now goes Culp, and the pitch on the way to the plate is a slow curve,
but it's high.
320 feet down the line.
Wagner is a right center field hitter.
Can pull the ball right down the line on occasions.
In fact, Aaron is playing them over pretty well to the line.
Here's the pitch.
Bit high.
2-0 to Caldwell with two gone on the fifth.
Wagner of the hitter.
And the score, 4-3, National League leading.
Here's Culp's next pitch.
Wagner swings on it and fouls it back here.
Back of the plate.
End of the netting, bouncing back down on the field, and the count is now 2-1.
The pitcher looks around the outfield.
Willie May is playing Wagner straight away and carrying on a conversation with somebody.
Willie loves to play baseball.
Here's the next pitch.
Swung on a line to right field, a base hit, a bullet hit out there.
Wagner makes the turn and hangs on as Aaron comes up with the ball.
That's nine hits now for the American League and brings on a bench hitter for Earl Batty.
By Carl Yastremski, the left-hand hitter with the Boston Red Sox.
Carl Yastremski.
I've been told a personal student of Ted Williams, Williams could see greatness in the batting eye of this young man.
Runner at first, Yastremski at the plate.
First one's in the dirt of ball.
First time, too, that he has been in an all-star game, and there must be a butterfly or two.
It's a great game, a traditional game.
Brings all the great stars together.
Here's Culp in the stretch now, the pitch.
Two-out runner at first, pitch on the way.
A little bit low.
Culp is a bit low here on this one.
Score four to three, National League leading the American League.
This is the 34th all-star game.
Infield around the right, Yastremski can hit the ball anywhere.
Culp in the stretch, here she comes.
Kerrbaut hit high in the air down the right field line.
Bill White, the first baseman in foul territory, gives up now as Javier makes the catch just barely foul.
Javier, the second baseman, got it in foul territory.
Retires to the side, fifth inning, no runs on one hit, no errors.
The man left.
Score now as we go to the top of the sixth here, National League four, American League three.

We have several changes right now. Bob Allison is in right field.
Carl Jastremski goes in the left field. Albie Pearson stays in the ballgame in center field.
Brooks Robinson is at third base, catching Alston Howard of the Yankees.
And Jim Boughton is the pitcher and the first pitch on the way to Kenny Boyer.
Jim Boughton, the right hander of the New York Yankees.
Bires and the ball is fouled off back of first base going up in the stands.
Now we have Robinson, Versalas, Richardson and Pepitone in the infield.
Jastremski, Pearson and Allison in the outfield. Alston Howard the catcher.
Jim Boughton the pitcher, big right hander of the New York Yankees.
In the wind up he goes. Now a pitch on the way. Swung on and missed on a breaking ball.
And it's a ball and two strikes. Score in this ballgame, 4-3 the National League League.
It's a good ballgame.
Both managers expressed a great desire to get everybody in.
Of course, a little tough. Kenny Boyer at the plate.
Numb for two, hits this one high in the air.
On the left side, the third baseman Robinson in foul territory makes the catch.
Boyer out on the pop fly, one gone on the sixth.
And that will bring on Dick Groat, the Cardinal shortstop.
Like one of the great things about the game of baseball,
Groat who was raised in the Pirate Organization,
tries desperately to beat the Pirates now as a Cardinal.
He's a right hand hitter.
Facing the right hand pitching of Jim Boughton of the Yankees.
Hey, play him short in the outfield. There's a call strike.
Fastball in there.
Jim Boughton gets a sign now from Elston Howard.
In the wind if he goes, here's the pitch.
And it's a change up, swung on a line foul down the left field line in the seats.
Pulled the string that time. We haven't seen too many changes.
In fact, both pitching staffs, predominantly fastball and slider pitchers.
And one of the real hummers in the American League, Juan Pizarro,
is warming up in a bullpen.
Woodishick, both 45s, the National League.
Here's a pitch outside. Now it's two balls and two strikes.
He checked out a ball and two strikes on the board.
One down on the sixth.
Boughton cranks up, delivers in a hurry.
Overhand curveball hit on the ground of the third baseman.
Robinson has it, has to hurry the throw. Got him.
Well, a great glove man, Brooks Robinson.
Oh, the league is full of fine third basemen, both leagues for that matter.
Two out on the sixth and here's Julio Javier.
Javier, the second baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals, has struck out and popped out.
They're scored four to three in the National League Leagues.
Out hit by five hits.
Two down on the sixth.
Boughton gets a sign now from Elston Howard.
The pitch overhand curve fouled off.
Boughton coming right over the top.
Johnny Edwards on deck. He's batting ninth in the order.
Boughton set again. Two down on the sixth inning.
In the wind up Boughton. Pitch on the way to the plate.
It's a fastball hit on the ground. Big habit of the shortstop, Versalas.
Quick throw in the dirt and picked up by Pepitone in time.
Good play at first base.
Sixth inning, no runs, no hits, no errors, none left.
Score now as we go to the last half of the sixth inning, National League Four, American League Three.
Oh, but Charlie, there's Bob and Vivian.
Hey, give you a lift.
Charlie, a new Plymouth. How's it drive?
That handles like a dream. Why, how's the gas mileage, Charlie?
Oh, it's really great. I get...
Oh, but Charlie, there's Ed and Gloria. Give you a lift.
Charlie, a new Plymouth Sport Fury. What makes it ride so smooth?
Torsion air ride. It has an understeer...
How's the power, Charlie?
Oh, it goes like a dream.
I like those bucket seats.
Well, I myself...
Charlie, how about the five-year or 50,000 mile warranty?
Oh, it's a guarantee.
It's big repair bills, right?
Yeah.
And that $550 warning's on all Chrysler Corporation cars, right?
How's the white flag?
Tell me about the console.
Does it come with a stick shift? Okay, okay. Everybody out.
If you have that many questions, see your Plymouth dealer.

Brand new picture, Howell Woodishick on the cold 45s, left hander.
On the Houston cold 45s.
Woodishick will be the fourth National League pitcher.
It's been O'Toole, Jackson, Culper, Nahaw, Woodishick.
Howell Woodishick, not easy to see six position.
About ready to go now, last half of the sixth inning.
Joe Pepitone, the first baseman, has struck out and lined out.
Struck out swinging in the second inning.
So it's Sandhall, Groat, Javier, and Wyatt in the infield.
The catcher, Johnny Edwards, outfield is Davis, Mays, Aaron Still.
The left hander, Howell Woodishick, is ready to fix the left hand hitting Joe Pepitone.
Score's four to three, National League leads.
Runs and bunts and he fouls it off on the first pitch.
And the ball going down past Warren Child, president of the National League.
Sitting in the box right near the National League dugout, directly across the commissioner of baseball.
Along with the American League contingent, the home team here today.
A strike to count on Pepitone.
A wind up by Woodishick, sidearm to Mllo.
A ball and one strike now.
Willie Mays playing short center field.
They play Pepitone straight away in the outfield.
Around the right a little bit in the infield, the third baseman, Sandhill, in close.
Here's the next pitch, a bit high.
Two and one.
Beautiful day. Gee, you couldn't want a better day for an all-star game.
Colorful uniforms, beautiful ballpark and fine plays.
And a close one. Here's Woodishick's next pitch.
And a swell island missed on a curved ball, two and two.
Left hand hitter Pepitone, two balls, two strikes.
Woodishick cranks up and delivers.
Foul tip, that is, into the glove of the catcher Johnny Edwards at the strikeout.
Pepitone actually checking his swing.
The ball flicked his bat and went right into the glove of Johnny Edwards.
And that'll bring on Zoilo Versalas.
Versalas, the little shortstop, and the Minnesota Twins, a right-hand hitter.
Public relations man for the ball club in the winter, and gosh, that's hard to understand.
Unless a lot of people speak Spanish up there.
Runs and bun and fouls it back.
A strike. He can fly. Woodfielder.
And they kick his name around a little. Zorro, Zoilo, Zoilo.
He likes Zoilo.
One out on the sixth, and the score, four to three, National League leading.
Wind up again by Woodishick. Pitch on the way is low inside.
Fast ball, one and one.
Zorro chokes up the bat a little bit, crouches right over the plate.
Here's Woodishick's next pitch, and it's a curve just missed outside.
Two and one.
Enfield talks it up.
Fellas all know each other and respect the ability of their own teammates and those on the opposition here today.
The wind up now, the pitch on the way to the plate is low inside.
Almost hit him on the foot.
So now it's a three ball, one strike count on Zoilo Versalas who looks down to the third base coach.
Johnny Pesky, whether the hitter to take is on.
In the wind up he goes. Here it is.
He was taking and it's ball four.
Versalas gets free transportation.
That is the number one walk issued, I believe, by National League pitching.
Now here's the third baseman of Baltimore, Brooks Robinson, a right hand hitter.
Batting in the ninth position.
Runner at first, one out. Enfield shortened up, possible double player.
Robinson takes a curve in the dirt.
One ball, no strikes.
Robinson, born in Little Rock, lives in Baltimore now.
Big guy, 6'19", fine third baseman.
Here's the stretch, the pitch on the way.
Hit through the middle, across second base into center field.
Versalas all the way to third.
Mays coming up with the ball, does not throw.
So you have there one of the great throwing arms in baseball being tested by one of the great runners in baseball as Versalas went into third base.
And Mays had lost the battle because he had to come in and get the ball.
So Versalas is at third.
Robinson is at first and here's Bobby Richardson, the Yankee second baseman, up for the first time in the ball game.
Richardson has demonstrated over the years that he's a great hitter in the clutch.
Witness his success in the World Series.
National League full run, American League three. American League now has ten hits, National League four.
Runners first and third and one out, Enfield in the pitch.
As a ground ball going to the shortstop, he has it over the second. For one throw to first, double play.
For Richardson, hits into the double play. Grows to Javier de White to end the inning and the threat.
Sixth inning produces no runs on one hit. There were no errors and a man left.
So at the end of the sixth inning, the score, National League four, American League three.
Why is Valiant the best all-around compact anyone's come up with yet?
Here are just a few reasons. A choice of two engines, the Pepe Economical Standard and the hot performing 225.
Lasting value with rust protected, rugged, one-piece body.
And your Plymouth Valiant dealer has low, low price tags right now.
Remember, Valiant has the first and only five-year or 50,000 mile warranty.
Yours only on cars from Chrysler Corporation.
For more information on the warranty, stay tuned to the station.
It's getting late. See your Plymouth Valiant dealer right now.
We'll get out of the seventh inning and see what changes we have. We have a new pitcher coming on. That much we know.
Juan Pizarro, Chicago White Sox. Pizarro, National League for a long time.
Moved to the American League and he's become a fine pitcher. He throw very hard.
A left-hander with really a blazer.
Smoke, as they call it in baseball. Luis Aparicio has gone in to play shortstop.
Now Pizarro will be batting in the number four position.
Heading in eighth in place of Rosales will be Luis Aparicio.
And I suppose that fans who have followed the career of this young man over the years,
well the White Sox were startled a little bit when he went over to another ball club, Baltimore, but he's done a fine job.
Quick hands, enjoys the game. Johnny Edwards now coming on the seventh inning.
He's a left-hander with the Cincinnati Reds.
Pizarro ready to throw the first one up there and he does. It's a fastball over the outside corner.
We have now McBride, Bunning, Bowden and Pizarro. There's a pitching staff right there if you owned it.
Next one on the way, slow curve that misses outside. Edwards a little anxious, almost went for that ball.
Brooks Robinson, Luis Aparicio, Bobby Richardson and Joe Pepitone in the infield.
The Ostrimsky-Pearson, Allison in the outfield. Next pitch, ground ball hit down to the second baseman Richardson up with it.
Tosses the first in time one out. So Edwards out on a bouncer, Richardson to Pepitone and that'll bring on Tommy Davis.
Tommy Davis made a great throw in the ball game early. Flagger runner at the plate. He's a right-hand hitter.
He's one for two on this one. He's grounded out, he's singled and he's walked and he's scored a run.
Pizarro gets the sign from Elston Howard. End of the windup he goes, here it is. It's high and away, the fastball.
Score four to three, National League Leagues the American. And we're in the seventh inning on a beautiful day.
Pizarro cranks up, slow curve, line foul down the left field line.
So now it's a ball and a strike on the right hand hitting Tommy Davis of the Dodgers.
One ball, one strike. The windup, pitch to the plate, slow curve, fouled off.
Got him way on the front on the front foot that time. But Tommy Davis is strong.
Sometimes off balance can hit the ball a long, long way for you.
Ball and two strike count, one out on the seventh.
Pizarro gets the sign from Elston Howard, throws the ball, it's hit high into the air in the left center field.
Albie Pearson calling for it and he's got it.
Davis out on a very high fly ball to center field, two gone now. And that brings on Henry Aaron.
Aaron is grounded out, safe on the field of his choice, scored a run and was out on a fly to center field.
So now with two out on the seventh, the score four to three, National League Leagues.
Pizarro, the left-hander delivers. Slow curve, call strike.
The slow curve from Pizarro is kind of a favor.
Boy, he can blaze. Here's Pizarro's next pitch, slow curve again, call strike two.
So now we have the battle of Pizarro with the known fastball and the ex-teammate of Henry Aaron.
And Henry looking at two slow curves. They'll talk about that later, you can bet on it.
Oh, two pitch. He fastballed them way outside, just showed them that one.
Gene Mox is, come on Henry, down at third base.
He's coaching down there, last year's National League Manager of the Year.
The wind up by Pizarro, fastball a bit high. Oh, and he hummed that one, two and two.
Probably the fastest man we've seen here today, at least that pitch was thrown harder than we've seen.
Two balls and two strikes, two out. In the seventh inning, and Pizarro delivers.
Slow curve, hit high at a center field, Albie Pearson should get it.
He's over there now, and he's got it, and the side's retired.
So in the seventh inning, it's no runs, no hits, and no errors.
And the score now is, we'll go to the last half of the seventh, National League Four, American League Three.
Whenever you buy a new automobile, there are two important points to consider, the car and the dealer who sells it.
That's why so many people are beating a path to their Plymouth Valiant dealers.
For Plymouth, on the move in 63, and on the move right now with the best buys of the year.
For Valiant, best all-around compact anyone's come up with yet.
And for Certified Car Care, your Chrysler Motors Corporation dealer's health plan to prolong the life of your car.
That's where the dealer comes in. His men are trained in certified car care techniques of servicing and maintenance.
They have the right tools, specially engineered for Plymouth and Valiant cars.
They have the right parts, factory approved parts, to keep your car running like clockwork.
And they have the Certified Car Care plan itself, a program that gives you a written record of the care your car receives.
So if you're on the market for a new automobile, think of the car and the man who will service it.
Think about Plymouth, Valiant, and the dealer who gives you Certified Car Care, yours only with cars by Chrysler Corporation.
In this last half of the seventh inning now, we'll have Albie Pearson, Bob Allison, and the pitcher scheduled.
Albie has done all right here this afternoon. He's single and he has doubled. He's scored a run and he struck out swinging.
Little center fielder, Albie Pearson.
Howe Wodashick, hole 45, left-hander, will do the pitching now to Albie in the last half of the seventh inning.
American League trails by a run. They've had opportunities.
Next pitch is a strike.
Bell high with the outside corner as Albie bluffed a bunt.
And that brought Ron Sato, the third baseman, up in a hurry.
Ron right now rearranging some of the soil out there halfway towards the plate.
Strike to Cowan. Albie leans over the plate. Here's the pitch to him.
And it's hit back to the glove of the pitcher Wodashick.
Throw him out of first base.
Albie hit one hopper back to Wodashick who tossed him out.
Wodashick to White, one down on the seventh, and that brings on Bob Allison.
One of the strong hitters in baseball. Allison up for the first time.
Big right-hand hitter of the Minnesota Twins.
Right behind them another twin, Harmon Kellebrew. He'll hit next as a strike.
Born in Raytown, Missouri, lives in Minnesota now. Here's the pitch as a strike call on Allison.
The killer Kellebrew mixed. One down, seven innings, score four to three, National League Leagues.
Wodashick in the wind. Here's his pitch. Allison takes it, bit inside.
Allison is 6'4", weighs 220 pounds.
Next pitch on the way is a long foul ball going down the left field line.
That'll go into the lower deck.
A ball and two strikes.
Al Wodashick, a left-hander, one-time pitcher with the Cleveland Ball Club.
Score four to three, National League leading, seventh inning. Here's the lineup, the pitch.
Allison swings and bounces a foul down past Sam Mealy coaching at first.
Well, Mealy the twin manager. The hitter is Allison, the twin right fielder.
And the on-deck hitter, Kellebrew, the left fielder for the Twins.
People in Minnesota are proud of this power. One out on the seventh.
And Wodashick ready to pitch and he does. And the ball is swung around and missed.
He struck him out with a fast ball. Allison, the big man out of there swinging.
Here comes Harmon Kellebrew.
Right-hand hitter. And this fellow has got muscles on his muscles. He's big.
Right now, it's four runs, four hits and no errors for the National League.
The American League, three runs, ten hits. They've committed one error.
American League now capitalizing on their hits.
Wodashick ready to pitch to the killer and he does. It's outside the ball.
Complementary nickname for Harmon. He's called the killer.
Most ball players have nicknames. One kind or other.
Now Wodashick set again. Here it is. Kellebrew took it. It's a strike.
Letter high over the outside corner. Good place for Harmon to hit the ball.
Oh, he's in a hurry out there, Wodashick. Next pitch is a strike call.
Wodashick nibbling on the corners now. And it's a ball and two strikes.
Two out on the seventh inning.
Wodashick already again. Here it is. Call strike three.
Full on that time. So the seventh inning, no runs, no hits and no errors and nobody left.
And the score now, the end of seven, National League four, American League three.
What's the biggest thing about Dodge this year? The big, big Dodge 880.
Here's a car for the big car man. The biggest, brawniest Dodge made.
Big for easy handling, real comfort at the wheel and on the road.
Big on power, for sizzling performance when you need it.
Big on styling with a look, a line that sets it apart from all other cars on the road.
Big on value with torsion air ride, battery saving alternator, rust protected Dodge body.
And of course, big on dependability. First of all, because it's a Dodge,
quality engineered by Chrysler Corporation.
Second, because it carries the first and only five-year or 50,000-mile warranty in the business.
Yours only on cars from Chrysler Corporation.
For more information on the warranty, stay tuned to the station.
Then see your Dodge dealer right now for one of the biggest buys on wheels
and the best deal you ever made, the big Dodge 880.
Some more changes now as we get going on our ball game.
We give it one more chance to have a station ID.
We pause 30 seconds for station identification.
Whatever your banking needs may be, a checking account, a place to save,
a loan for any worthwhile purpose, a safe deposit box for your valuable papers.
Well, you'll find that Industrial Bank of Schenectady is the complete and helpful bank for you.
Why don't you stop in at Industrial Bank and get acquainted?
You're always welcome, and you'll find Industrial is a truly friendly place.
For all banking services, it's Industrial Bank of Schenectady at 224 State Street
and the Woodlawn Branch with a drive-in window at 815 State Street.
This is WGY Schenectady.
Changes are just two of them.
Tom Tresh of the Yankees will be in center field in place of Albie Pearson.
And Dick Raditz, a big right-hander of the Boston Red Sox, will do the pitching.
He's just now starting his warm-up.
Raditz possesses a very low earned run average this year, appearing in 33 ball games.
1.42, pitching entirely in relief.
And I guess, Bob, you'd have to say one of the game's outstanding and top-relief pitchers.
Here he is, George. We saw him recently in a couple of series,
and veterans like Joe Adcock said it was almost unbelievable the way this fellow
with his tremendous size and free-wheeling can really pump that ball in there.
Bill White, Willie Mays, and a pinch-hitter, no doubt, for the pitcher,
will come out here in the eighth inning.
The score is 4-3, the National League leads.
And Raditz, a big right-hander, is ready. Weighs 235 pounds.
Martin Detroit lives in Royal Oak, Michigan. The first pitch is low, a ball.
Nice, free, easy motion, but he can throw aspirin tablets at that plate.
Bill White, the first baseman, a left-hand hitter, has not hit in three times at bat.
Next one on the way, call strike at the knees over the inside corner.
Defensively, we have Brooks Robinson at third.
Apparachoe is at shortstop. Bobby Richardson at second.
Pepitone is still at first.
Yes, Trenkski, Tresh, and Allison in the outfield.
Here's Raditz's next pitch, foul ball on a breaking ball this time,
side-armed into the left-hand-hitting Bill White.
Big as he is, that easy motion, long arms. He's rugged.
Drysdale is in the bullpen now for the National League in left field.
Here's the pitch, missed outside.
Now we go to two balls and two strikes here in the eighth inning on Bill White.
The National League already leading by a score of 4-3.
White can hit the ball out of the park, but the outfield is playing him straight away because Raditz can fire.
Here's a foul ball hit back a third upstairs.
Cleveland Municipal Stadium, all bedecked in boning, honor of this great day in baseball, the All-Star Game.
Two balls and two strikes. White at the plate, close one, 4-3.
Here's Raditz pitching, fouled off the screen back of the plate.
And a slider, a breaking ball of some sort, got right on the fists of the left-hand-hitting White.
Hit one of those right, I tell you, you get a handful of bees, a broken bat.
Two and two.
Here's Raditz's next pitch on the way. White swings on it and fouls this one off back a third.
He's at the top of the ballpark and will bounce back on the field.
And then back again and almost caught, but not quite.
And the fellow's leaning over the temporary fence down there, all the fans.
It looks like a bunch of blocks when you set them up, you know, push the first one over as the ball rolled down.
Now two balls, two strikes on White. Raditz with the new one, cranks up and delivers to the plate.
A hard hit going to the right field on the ground, a base hit.
That's only the fifth hit in the first since the third inning for the National League, and about an hour will be Willie Mays.
Well, Willie has done just about everything here today. He walked, he's single, he grounded out.
He batted in two runs, he scored two, and he has stolen two bases.
Mays, a right-hand hitter.
The first pitch to Mays has swung on and fouled off, and Mays is going to try to hit that one in the lake.
Boy, he took a pretty good rip.
Next pitch to Mays is outside the ball.
Willie Mays at the plate, infield shortened up. Willie, a pretty tough man to double, can run.
A ball and a strike, the stretch by Raditz, here it is, fouled off.
In fact, Willie went out a little from the plate that time, took a little gamble on Raditz fastball.
Score four to three. We're in the top of the eighth inning, and the National League leads the American League.
Bases on balls really have been a big difference in the game.
Here's Raditz's next pitch, runner going, called strike, throw to second, not in time, stolen base down there.
Willie Mays has called out on strikes. You won't see that many times.
Running hit play at that time.
Bill White was running, and Willie Mays is out on strikes.
And that'll bring on Ron Santo.
Santo, the Chicago Cubs' third baseman, a right-hand hitter with power.
Willie McCovey has come out on deck.
So now Raditz has a runner at second base, Bill White, one man away, top of the eighth.
National League four, American League three.
American League gets ten hits, the National League five, which a payoff on score.
Raditz delivers, swing, and a miss for a blue dotter thrown up there by Raditz.
We have 44,160 here, and they've enjoyed a ballgame, and it's still a good one.
Aren't they all, really?
Here's Raditz pitching.
There's a loop, a broken bat job, dying quail, base hit to right field, White on the way to the plate, and he'll score.
Now it's a five-to-three ballgame.
Ron Santo in a broken bat, single to right field, to drive home White with a fifth National League run.
And that'll bring on a bench hitter for the pitcher, Willie McCovey.
Willie McCovey, 6'4", 200 pounder, born in Mobile, Alabama, lives in San Francisco, left-hand hitter.
And he can wrap them.
Runner at first base now, and has one out, and the infield shortened up for the double player.
McCovey at the plate, swung out and missed, took a big cut.
There are many hard swingers in baseball.
This man is a hard swinger, long arms, long bat, and boy, he unloads.
Here's the stretch now by Raditz. Pitcher swung out and fouled off. He fooled them, then, at one hand off the bat.
Five-to-three ballgame, National League.
Raditz in his stretch, he's a right-hander. Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss. He struck them out.
So McCovey, a bench hitter, out on strikes.
And the battle now will be Dick Grode, and Raditz has either struck them out or given them a hit.
Two hits, two strikeouts in this inning.
Dick Grode.
Grode's a right-hand hitter. And up to the plate three times, single ones to bat in a run.
Raditz in his stretch, runner at first lead. Here's the pitch. A strike call.
Two gone, one strike to count on. Dick Grode, the Cardinal shortstop.
Up and ready is Raditz. Santo in his lead. Here's the pitch.
Tries to hit it to right field, fouled it off down the right field line. Grode, an expert at hitting the ball, back of runner.
A little roar and wrestle you hear. Somebody caught that ball and fell down and tore up a $26 pair of slacks for a $3 baseball.
He'd do it all the time. It's all right, name of the game.
Now we're ready with a new one. Here's the pitch to the plate. And it's a call strike.
And Raditz struck out the side, but he did give up in the inning.
One run on two hits. No errors, no man left.
The score at the end of seven and a half innings, National League Five, American League Three.

For the National League.
Another change now, now pitching for the National League.
And the Dodgers, Don Drysdale.
Side wheel and right-hander.
Drysdale.
Drysdale is 6-6.
Full of all hard, great fastball.
A little bit better than slider.
Elston Howard will be the first man to face him in the eighth.
The American League now has this chance and one more.
To kind of a quick recap at the moment, the difference really is the base on balls,
issued by American League pitchers.
One up in the second inning scored.
One on the fifth inning scored.
It's all part of the game, like the error, the base hit, pop fly, whatever.
Elston Howard comes on to hit against Drysdale.
And this has happened before in the World Series.
They look back and create the great moments.
Both these men have had them.
Big winner last year, Don Drysdale, winner of the Cy Young Award.
Here's his first pitch.
It's a fastball strike in there.
Those of you who get a chance to see the American League and not the National League,
Quasaro, left-hander, same kind of a fastball as Drysdale has, a right-hander.
Swing and a miss and he threw a breaking ball from strike two.
Elston Howard up there in place of Leon Wagner.
Drysdale into that windup and here she comes, missed outside a ball.
Drysdale gives a little flick of the wrist as he turns the ball loose.
It's five to three, the National League leading the American League.
The last half of the eighth inning in Cleveland's beautiful and big municipal stadium.
Drysdale set again.
Here it is.
Foul ball back to the screen behind the plate.
Hank Sower, the umpire, working back there.
Big Bill Jitkowski of the National League at first.
Al Smith of the American League at second.
Paul Prior, third.
Extra umpires, Harvey is in right field.
Haller down the left field line.
The pitch gets by, but it's too low.
That's two and two.
Sandy Koufax is now on the bullpen for the National League.
Two and two of the count.
First, struck him out.
Drysdale's first man is struck out.
And that, of course, is Drysdale's long suit.
And the battle now will be Jastrinsky.
Look at the line score right now.
National League has five runs on six hits and no errors.
The American League three runs on ten hits and one error.
Now Jastrinsky, a left-hand hitter of the Boston Red Sox, up now.
Don Drysdale, all set, one gone in the eighth.
Pitch is a strike right in there.
Jastrinsky took it.
Third baseman, Sato, up even with a bag.
Jastrinsky can hit to all fields.
And the outfield plays him almost straight away.
Here's Drysdale's next pitch, and it's a bit low.
One and one.
Great and classic game, the all-star game.
Drysdale gets a sign from Johnny Edwards.
Cranks up and fires, and the ball is fouled off in the upper deck.
Bag of the plate.
Joe Papatone, the Yankees, has gone all the way at first base.
It's on deck.
One ball, two strikes.
Drysdale gets the good sign now and rears back and fires a fastball by him.
Struck him out.
Jastrinsky took a good cut and was down swinging.
So now we've had occasion to have Woodishick strike out two men,
the last two men on the seventh and the first two men on the eighth.
And here is Papatone.
Now the booing you'll hear, this is a Cleveland group of fans.
Papatone of the Yankees.
Here's a pitch inside a ball.
The booing and not this young gentleman has done quite a job for the Yankees.
Here's Drysdale in a hurry now.
Next pitch.
Swung out, long drive, center field.
Willie Mays on the run, not patting the glove, but at the wall.
He runs into the fence and got it, and I believe Willie hurt himself out there.
The ball hit to the 380-foot mark.
He's limping coming in.
That'll retire the side.
Good catch by Willie, very deep.
No runs, no hits, and no errors.
At the end of the eighth inning, the score, National League 5 and America League 3.
Another, a letter from Bob.

Dear, are you sure you're doing the right thing marrying a car dealer?
Julian Javier.
In the ninth inning, it will be Julian Javier and Johnny Edwards,
the eighth and the ninth hitters, and then Tommy Davis, scheduled at any rate.
But at the plate right now is Javier, the second baseman of the Cardinals,
the right-hand hitter, and Nick Raditz, the big right-hander to deliver to him.
And the first one swung on and fouled off into the screen back of the plate.
Sports five to three, the National League leads.
We're in the top of the ninth.
American League has one more pop at them.
Colfax still busy in the National League bullpen.
Raditz gets the sign from Elston Howard.
Pitch is Javier takes that one outside, and it's one and one.
Ninth inning in Cleveland, bright sunshine.
The National League on top by a pair.
Here's the pitch.
Swung on and missed on a breaking ball, one ball and two strikes.
Javier fooled on Edwin.
The National League went fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh innings without a base hit.
Next pitch is swung on and fouled off.
The National League has got a run in the first inning on one hit.
On the second inning, rather, one run on one hit.
Two bases on balls in there.
Two runs in the third, one in the fifth, and one in the eighth.
Raditz next pitch, a bit high.
Now it's two balls and two strikes.
American League got a run in the second.
They got two in the third, and that's all.
Two balls and two strikes.
It's a big right hander, Raditz.
Pitch is swung on and missed.
He struck them out.
Javier out on strikes.
And that will bring on Johnny Edwards.
And Raditz is going to have many strikeouts here until this inning, and he has four of them,
or until this part of the game that he's been in.
They get five now.
Edwards up now.
He went up one time and grounded out.
Waiting now for Alberto Clemente to go into the bullpen and let go.
He has to run in playing area.
They wait for him.
Probably go in in place of May and hope well he wasn't hurt badly.
Here's the pitch.
Swing and a miss, and it's one strike.
White sidewalls.
Duke Snyder on deck.
Another pitch by Raditz.
High fly ball.
Left side.
Aparicio going back far.
Yastremski coming over, the left fielder.
He's there and he's got it.
Any of three could have taken it.
Two down now.
And Duke Snyder will be hitting for Tommy Davis.
Duke Snyder wearing the uniform much the same color that he wore in Brooklyn, the same number four, and the same color that he wore in Los Angeles.
But now it's the New York Mets, and Duke Snyder comes on with two down tonight.
National League leading.
Here's the ground ball hit hard down the right fielder line foul.
Snyder always a threat.
He walks up swinging.
Score is five to three.
The National League leading in this ball game in the top of the ninth inning.
Here's Raditz ready again.
A fair ball in for a call strike.
Snyder has a couple of words to say to Hank Siller.
I'm sure not about the pitch, just where was it probably?
Next pitch on the way, outside.
Raditz is one and two on Duke Snyder, a left-hand hitter.
Probably the best performance of the day has been turned in thus far by Raditz.
And he does that almost every day.
Here's the pitch.
Call strike over the outside corner.
Snyder is out.
In the ninth inning, it's no runs, no hits, and no errors.
At the end of eight and a half, the score, National League five, American League three.
Known as the success car of the year, it's the 1963 Dodge Dart.
Big on room, yet small in price.
A compact, but with enough wide open spaces for family enjoyment.
Big car power, but with real gas economy.
And with all the engineering features that have made Dodge mean dependable.
All this plus the first in only five-year or 50,000-mile warranty you heard about earlier.
Yours only on cars from Chrysler Corporation.
For a look at the success car of the year and for the best deal you ever made, see Dart at your Dodge dealers.
Some changes now.
Roberto Clemente goes into the ballgame in the center field.
Snyder stays in the game and goes into left field.
Luis Aparicio will be the header in the last half of the ninth inning.
Aparicio, Robinson, and Bobby Richardson schedule.
Score five to three.
And we're in the last half of the ninth inning.
And now something made about the changes.
Co-facts.
One for Ben Mambo and the other.
Here's the first pitch to Aparicio. It's high, a ball.
Luis, a little guy, great shortstop, a right-hand hitter.
Always a bunt threat and Santos up close.
Needing a couple of runs, he might do anything.
Here's a high fly ball into short right field.
Second baseman Javier back and he has it.
Aparicio out on a pop fly ball.
Ritz Robinson comes on now.
Juan Marichal is now in the National League bullpen.
Five runs on five hits, no errors.
They get five runs on six hits, no errors for the National League.
Three, ten, and one for the American League.
Next pitch, swung on and missed on a sidearm curve by Drysdale.
Ballgame action packed early and good pitching now.
One out of the ninth, last chance.
The pitch, swung on the line, center field, base hit.
So Brooks Robinson singles to center field.
Plametti fires back in toward second.
Now Bobby Richardson represents the tying run here in the last half of the ninth inning.
Richardson, a right-hand hitter and giving him a little bit of a shot here right now too.
Get into a double play in the sixth inning.
He's a right-hand batter, runner at first.
He's the tying run.
There's one out, Enfield shorting for the possible double play.
Call strike over the outside corner, Drysdale fired at him.
We're in the last half of the ninth.
Big Don Drysdale, any stretch.
Here's the pitch, swung on and fouled into the glove of the catcher, and it's nothing in two.
Richardson at the plate, Tommy Trash with the Yankees on deck.
Drysdale gets that sign once again from John Edwards and the stretch he goes.
Looks over to first and steps off.
Brooks Robinson's run, not an important run, but a score five to three.
They want to hold him just the same with the one out.
Now Drysdale's up there.
Here's the pitch.
In the middle hole and off the shin guard to the catcher, Johnny Edwards bounced out in front.
He went out and got it.
Robinson had to hang on down in first base.
Richardson from Sumter, South Carolina.
Here's Drysdale's pitch, and it's a ground ball.
Throw out a second for one, might be a game-winning double play it is.
Dwight fired to Groats, Groats back to first base, and Richardson hit into two double plays.
And this one ended the ball game.
Ended the ninth inning, no round, about one hit, though no errors.
And nobody left.
And a final score in the All-Star Game, National League Five, the American League Three.
You're more familiar, I'm pretty sure, of Bob with what's going to go on.
What is it?
Next to the All-Star Game, one of the most unusual endings, certainly of any spectacular ball game,
in which a great little second baseman, who in some other great classics has been honored as the most proud player,
will give him the two double plays today.
The National League Five runs on six hits and no errors.
The American League Three runs on 11 hits and one error.
So the bonded power of the National League did not show itself.
The pitches of the American League were able to hold the National League to only six hits,
but were not able to score the runs.
The American League left seven runners stranded on the bases,
and a fine play by Tommy Davis in the first inning sort of set the theme for the whole affair
when he threw to the plate to get Nellie Fox trying to score out from third on a fly ball hit deep in the left field by Al Kailon.
A wonderful, spectacular performance by a great number of pitchers.
Nick Raditz, the fireballer from the Boston Red Sox, who struck out five of the eight men he faced.
The National League's Don Grisdale, who came on in the eighth and ninth innings and took care of the American League,
although he surrendered a hit getting Bobby Richardson to bounce into a double play.
Interesting to note that Ralph Hough used practically everybody on his staff with the exception of two players,
Norm Siebert and Don Leppard, and in the pitching department used all of his pitches with the exception of Bill Munglequette and Jim Grant.
The National League utilized most of their players with the exception of Orlando Sepade of San Francisco,
Joe Torre of Milwaukee, and Lori Welds of Los Angeles, so they used all but three of their outfielder, infielder, catcher department.
In the pitching department, they used all but Warren Spahn and Juan Marichal and Sammy Kofax,
although Marichal was working in the bullpen along with Kofax at the end of the game.
So the fans who came to see got a chance to see the All-Stars.
Warren Spahn, they had a chance to see him before the game.
They got an opportunity to see Stand-A-Man Musial, Duke Schneider, Willie Mays.
Mays making one of the fine catches of the game against the fans,
giving every inch of their great talents in a performance that enabled the 44,000 fans who paid their way here today on the banks of Lake Erie
to watch indeed a game that typifies the great desire of the men of professional baseball to utilize their abilities.
It certainly is a great lesson to the young fellows of playing baseball around the country
that here indeed on this diamond this afternoon were men who proved that if you have the talents and are willing to work at it,
you can realize the ambition of your lifetime.
I'd have to say, George Bryson, that every young man who played on this diamond today took a great sense of pride in his performance and in his appearance.
You're absolutely right. It's probably the greatest honor that can ever fall a Major League Ball player now,
and at the beginning perhaps it wasn't exactly that way, but suddenly now there's come a feeling in the past few years
that this is a great showcase for the national pastime.
And youngsters can't help but look at the men out there, no matter who they are, where they come from,
if they're in this All-Star game, they represent a slice of the pie of America and the best game of all.
Wherever you are, youngsters, you have this talent to play ball, play all you can.
And the same thing I'll make pass on to the fans.
If there's a ball game in your neighborhood, be it semi-pro, professional, Major League, whatever it is,
it's a wonderful place to spend a summer evening or a summer afternoon in a ballpark.
And now the margin closes down. The American League has won 17 games. The National League has won 16.
There's been one tie. And here today in Cleveland, Ohio,
the best of the National and of the American League have been here.
George, it's been a wonderful day.
Certainly has, especially for us truly coming in here.
And although we didn't get to see the ball player representing the club I'm with in the city play,
that too is something that should be touched on.
Managers want to win this ball game. They like to get everybody in, but in most cases it's not at all possible.
No, indeed. They tried to play the game. They tried to give the ball a chance to play,
and that's the story of the all-star game of 1963, National League Five, the American League Three.
