Billy Williams with Ron Santo on deck. 184 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Kyle Jackson working on the baseball for a moment. 185 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:52,000 Ten feet was watered down just before the start of the game, but that moisture disappears in a hurry out here today. 186 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000 Here's a one-two pitch. Swung on to ground ball toward second. Ron Hunt up with it. 187 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,000 He goes to Moran. He's out to throw the first not in time. He beats the relay as they got the lead runner. 188 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:10,000 So Williams becomes the base runner as Rogers has been forced from second baseman Ron Hunt to shortstop Al Moran. 189 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:17,000 Two away and Ron Santo is coming up batting three-twenty-six. Ten home runs and 52 runs batted in. 190 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:23,000 He's having a great season and Ralph Kana I know had him on last night as a guest. Ralph, what did he say he's doing different this year? 191 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,000 He claims the fact that he has put on about 15 pounds and that's the reason why he's hitting so much better. 192 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,000 He's also picked up more confidence and he also gives credit to the ball club. 193 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000 Club playing better. He's been playing better. 194 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000 All right, here's the pitch and it's low for ball one. 195 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:48,000 Santo is third in the National League and runs batted in. Henry Aaron leads with 54. Bill White has 53 and Ron Santo 52. 196 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000 He's right up there. 197 00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,000 No scoring. We're in the top half of the 3th inning. 198 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:06,000 Let's step in there for a call strike. It's one and one. 199 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,000 Ron Santo is the number five man in the National League batting race. 200 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000 The Red Oak Clementi of Pittsburgh is on top. Tommy Davis for the Dodgers. Bill White are the cards. Dick Goer are the cards. 201 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,000 And Ron Santo of the Chicago Cubs. 202 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:26,000 Here's a throw over and Billy Williams gets back safely. 203 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Here's the pitch. Let's step outside. 204 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000 Two and one. 205 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:41,000 I got a few friends Ralph. I'll be pleased to know that somebody has attempted to improve performance to added weight. 206 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000 That could be a boon to a lot of my friends. 207 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000 Go change a hole 30 right around. 208 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,000 Jackson checks. 209 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000 Here's two and one. 210 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000 And it's a one hopper going on pass. 211 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Hunt and hunting for third now is Billy Williams. 212 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,000 Snyder recovers. Plays it back in. Williams pulls up safely at third and on it first is Santo with a base hit. 213 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,000 It is short at the base hit. 214 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:21,000 Although the diamond center still is flashing error. 215 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,000 Press box P.A. is correcting it repeatedly. 216 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,000 It scored as a single. Hunt was getting in position to play it on one hop but he didn't handle that one. 217 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:40,000 It went right on out in the center field and the Cubs are up making gestures up toward the official score position in the press box. 218 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000 Having seen the E time but it's now on the scoreboard as a base hit. 219 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,000 Runners at first and third and two men out and Leo Burke is up. 220 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,000 He has gone by the third and it's off the glove of Charlie Neal. 221 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,000 He recovers plays the second not in time and a run that score. 222 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,000 As Billy Williams crossed the plate. 223 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:10,000 Leo Burke with the ground smash to third. 224 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000 With squared deep by Charlie Neal. 225 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000 It was not handled and he did recover and played on the hunt but not in time to get Ron Santo. 226 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000 Coming up now is Ken Hubbs. 227 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:31,000 I'll tell you what the scoring decision is on that. It's a tune that's made. 228 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000 Ken Hubbs batting 239. 229 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Six homers 24 runs batted in. 230 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:47,000 Here's a swing and a foul ball coming back and Taylor's coming at it but he has no play. 231 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:54,000 Leo Burke's ground ball has been scored as an error on Charlie Neal. 232 00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:02,000 Which means there is no run batted in there. 233 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:07,000 Ken Hubbs up with a strike one count. Runners at first and second. 234 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:16,000 One run in two men out. 235 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000 Larry Bernard throwing in the med bullpen. 236 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:26,000 Swing and a little nubbit on the third baseline. Jackson up with it. He'll go to first and he pulls him off the bag. 237 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000 He's safe and the bases are loaded. 238 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:39,000 Harkness had to come off the bag to make the play and the bases are loaded. 239 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,000 And the official scorer has charged an error against Harkness at first base. 240 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:55,000 Jackson gets an assist and Harkness has been charged with the error by the official scorer. 241 00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Dick Bertell is coming up now batting 248. Two home runs and eight runs batted in. 242 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:15,000 The Cubs lead here by a score of one to nothing. 243 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:27,000 Pitch is low for ball. Ron Santos the baserunner at third. Leo Burke at second. Ken Hubbs at first. 244 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:34,000 And again the Chicago Cubs and the Dugout tearing up at the position of the official scorer. 245 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:40,000 The Cubs had a busy first inning I'll say that for them. 246 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,000 Here's a swing and a ground ball. It is deep to Moran. He plays over to Hubbs just in time for the fourth. 247 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000 That's the only play he had. 248 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:55,000 The side is retired as that ball was taken deep in the hole and Moran got it over to Hubbs at second in time to fourth. 249 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000 So that end, the top of the first, the Cubs got only one run. 250 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:08,000 On one hit there were two errors and two left. So at the end of a half inning it's the Cubs won the match coming up. 251 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000 Nothing. 252 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:17,000 What's your idea of a wonderful day? An excursion into the country? A day on the sound trip to a lake? 253 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,000 Or maybe that long journey into the backyard with your portable radio and this is a good day for that. 254 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:28,000 No matter which any day becomes a little bit more wonderful when you have refreshing Reingold beer on hand. 255 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Yes sir, Reingold is something special when it comes to beer and dry tells you why. 256 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:39,000 Reingold's way of brewing is long, slow and costly but you can measure the difference in taste. 257 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,000 Reingold is beer as beer should taste, brisk and bright and clean clear through. 258 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,000 And isn't that the way you want your beer to be? Well sure it is. So make Reingold your beer. 259 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,000 Join the millions who say my beer is Reingold, the dry beer. 260 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000 Find out for yourself why Reingold is New York's largest selling beer. 261 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000 Matter of fact, have a glass right now. 262 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:15,000 ... 263 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,000 Going into the bottom of the first line, Jim Hickman will be up to lead off for the New York Met. 264 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000 He'll be followed by Ron Hunt and Duke Snyder. 265 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000 ... 266 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000 Bob Buell on the mound has won six games and lost five thus far this season. 267 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000 Leo Burke is at free space, Ken Hubbs at second. 268 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000 Andre Rogers at short and Ron Santor at third. 269 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000 Billy Williams in left, Nelson Matthews in center, Ellis Burton in right. 270 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000 Here's the pitch swung on and fouled off to strike one. 271 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,000 Bob Buell is 34 years of age.

He'll have to play it now in time and he does. 313 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:10,000 Jackson knocked it down and then had to scramble back a couple of steps, pick up the ball, make the pivot and peg on, but Buell wasn't trying to run it out on a hot day anyway. 314 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,000 So it is two away and Ellis Burton coming up. He's the man who turned in the sparkling catch on tonight. 315 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,000 He lands out a moment ago and he goes back to the town to give Buell time to get back to the dugout. 316 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:26,000 Incidentally, Tom Watson, a veteran daily news photographer in the hospital at Bellevue. 317 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:34,000 Tom, Charlie Hopps, your coworker and all the boys along Photographers Row here say get well quickly. 318 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000 Certainly hope you do. 319 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:48,000 Ellis Burton's been up one time and he struck out swinging. 320 00:28:48,000 --> 00:29:01,000 This pitch is low for ball. The Cubs are leading here by a score of one to nothing. 321 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:18,000 Jackson's pitch outside for ball. Two and oh. 322 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,000 Two men out and nobody on base. 323 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:31,000 Swing and a drive deep to left. It's way back going, going and it is over the rooftop for a home run. It is number two for Burton. 324 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:39,000 Ellis Burton's bill is on the right over the upper deck and on out of sight and left field. 325 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:49,000 The Cubs lead by a score of two to nothing. 326 00:29:49,000 --> 00:30:05,000 That brings up Andre Rogers. He's been up one time and he walks. 327 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,000 Jackson's pitch in there for a call strike. 328 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:22,000 Coming into today's game, the New York Mets in 32 home dates had drawn 534,881 paid at the polo grounds. 329 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:40,000 That's in there for a call strike two. 330 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:49,000 Pitch is high. One and two to Andre Rogers. 331 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:55,000 Very little wind blowing. The flag's barely stirring here at the polo grounds. 332 00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:07,000 Here's the one-two pitch. That's up high and it's two and two. 333 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:18,000 Chicago Cubs started the day only three games out of first place in the National League standings. 334 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:37,000 Two pitch, a little high and it's out full. Now it's three and two. 335 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:42,000 They have pitch, one on and has a fly ball to right. 336 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:49,000 Down in the corner, Schneider comes fast, can't get to it. It bounces up in the stand for a ground rules double. 337 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,000 Right down in the right field corner, took one big bounce up into the stands. It is a ground rules double. 338 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,000 Schneider could not get to it. He had led up to try to play it off the wall. 339 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Hunt was going back. He couldn't get to it. 340 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:08,000 So Andre Rogers on with a two-bagger. 341 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:33,000 Here's Billy Williams, left-hand batter. And up one time and forced Rogers on a ground ball. 342 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,000 Again, Larriva and Arthur's up and throwing the bullpen for the Mets. 343 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000 Here's a swing and a fly ball to center. Hickman is right there. 344 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000 Moves over a couple of steps and makes the catch. 345 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:48,000 So in the top of the second, the Cubs got one run on two hits. No Mets errors and one Cubs left. 346 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:56,000 And at the end of an inning and a half, it's the Cubs two and the Mets nothing. 347 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,000 Chug them up, chug them up, chug them up, chug them up, chug them up, chug them up, chug them up, chug them up. 348 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000 You from Rheingold, the Chug-a-Mug. 349 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,000 No more glasses you have to wash and no more deposits you have to pay. 350 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,000 I can even throw my opener away. 351 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,000 Why sure. Chug-a-Mug is Rheingold's new wide-mouth container with a top that's so easy to open. 352 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,000 You just pull the metal tab on top straight out, then straight up and pull off the top. 353 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000 You drink right from Chug-a-Mug's wide mouth. 354 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:28,000 Inside's the same great Rheingold Extra Dry you love in cans, bottles, and on tap. 355 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,000 Chug-a-Mug holds the same, costs the same as a 12-ounce can. 356 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000 Chug-a-Mug, no glasses, no openers, no deposits. 357 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,000 My beer is Rheingold's Dry Beer. 358 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000 Chug-a-Mug is the new way to fang a beer. 359 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000 Better get some today. 360 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000 Chug-a-Mug's what you say. 361 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,000 What a great way to drink Rheingold beer. 362 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000 We're going down to the bottom of the second. 363 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,000 Before we do, we pause for station identification. 364 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,000 A-10 in your dial, WGY's connected in New York. 365 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000 Our weather, sunny and warm, the barometer falling. 366 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:09,000 Our present temperature stands right now at 88 degrees at 229. 367 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,000 Frank Thomas up to lead off for the Mets in the bottom of the second. 368 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000 Facing right-hander, Bob Views. 369 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,000 Fitch is in there for a call, strike one. 370 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000 Again, the pitch swung on line out in center field. 371 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000 It's a base hit for Thomas. 372 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000 Nelson Matthews up with it, plays it back in. 373 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,000 Thomas turns and holds with a single to center. 374 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000 Thomas, the ball is in the middle of the field. 375 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000 Thomas, the ball is in the middle of the field. 376 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000 Thomas, the ball is in the middle of the field. 377 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,000 Thomas turns and holds with a single to center. 378 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000 That will bring up Sammy Taylor. 379 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,000 Taylor is batting number five in the batting order. 380 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,000 He is hitting 320. 381 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000 He's been up 25 times and has eight hits. 382 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,000 Six runs batted in. 383 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,000 Thomas leads it first. 384 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,000 Leo Burke holds against the runner and the pitch is high and away for ball one. 385 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000 Sammy Taylor, left-hand batter. 386 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,000 Tim Harkness moves up to the on-deck position. 387 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000 Views checks again. 388 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000 Fitch is low and a bluff throw to first, not made by Dick Bertell. 389 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,000 He caught the arm, did not throw. 390 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:42,000 Two and 0. 391 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,000 Now the crowd with a chant of, let's go Mets. 392 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:58,000 Playing a ground ball foul down past Trippi Lavagetto, the Mets' coach at third. 393 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,000 We have a lot of midget Mets on hand this afternoon. 394 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000 They were arriving by the busload when we came into the ballpark 395 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:11,000 and they are stretched out in the left field corner here, both lower and upper deck. 396 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,000 So if the Mets can get something started, it will likely strike a happy response. 397 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000 Here's two on pitch, swung on, foul back. 398 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:34,000 Counts two and two. 399 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000 Thomas taking his lead at first now. 400 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:49,000 Leo Burke is not holding him on there at this point. 401 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000 Cubs lead two-nothing. 402 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000 Breaking ball fouls to ground ball to second. 403 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000 Cubs has it, he plays over to Rodgers. 404 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,000 He's out to throw to first, he's out to double play. 405 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,000 That is double play, number 68 for the Chicago Cubs this season. 406 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,000 New York Mets have 71. 407 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000 Tim Harkness coming up, two men out, nobody on. 408 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:17,000 What better time than right now to order up or open up another Rheingold Extra Dry. 409 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:24,000 Better as beer should taste. 410 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:35,000 Pitch to Harkness is low for ball one. 411 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000 Here's pitch, swung on and miss. 412 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,000 One and one. 413 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,000 It's a normal course of events. 414 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000 Bob Buell works extremely fast. 415 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:49,000 He gets the ball and throws it back. 416 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,000 Swing and it's off to the corner and right. 417 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000 And this one is off the base of the wall. 418 00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,000 And he's being chased down by Priton and he throws on to second so that Harkness has to turn and hold it first. 419 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:09,000 With a long single off the base of the wall in the right field corner. 420 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000 And that will bring up Charlie Neal with two men out. 421 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,000 That is the second hit for the Mets off Bob Buell. 422 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:34,000 Neal is batting 233 with three home runs and 18 runs batted in. 423 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:49,000 And that pitch is in there for a call strike to Charlie Neal. 424 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,000 Ground ball is short. 425 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000 Andre Rogers has it on a big hop. 426 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,000 He plays to Kenny Hup for the fourth at second and the side is retired. 427 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000 And the bottom of the second. 428 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000 The New York Mets got no runs on two hits, no errors in one left. 429 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:11,000 And at the end of two innings it is the Cubs two and the Mets nothing. 430 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:18,000 Following the break for the All-Star Game, which incidentally will be held in Cleveland this year on July 9th, 431 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:26,000 the Mets will be back to open up against the Dodgers and it'll be Wednesday night, July 10th. 432 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,000 And that is a make-up game that was not on the original schedule. 433 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:34,000 So if you have a printed Mets schedule, printed at the start of the season with the official schedule, 434 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,000 this game will not be on it because it's a make-up of a game rained out previously. 435 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,000 That's Wednesday night, July 10th, the Mets and the Dodgers here. 436 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:49,000 And then they'll be in here on Thursday night, July 11th, Friday night, July 12th, and Saturday afternoon, July 13th, 437 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,000 which will be Family Day and Ladies Day. 438 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,000 And there'll be a two-inning Father-Son game preceding the regularly scheduled game 439 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,000 between the Mets and the Dodgers. 440 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,000 We'd advise you to get your tickets right now for that series. They are on sale. 441 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:12,000 July 10th, 11th, 12th at night, and then the 13th Saturday afternoon. 442 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:21,000 ... 443 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:28,000 During the top of the third and Ryan Santo is up to lead off for the Chicago Cubs. 444 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,000 Been up one time in single. He's batting 329. 445 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:57,000 ... 446 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:04,000 We have a delay here for the moment while Ron Hunt gets a little help with the equipment. 447 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,000 Apparently he's doing a little work on his glove. 448 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:14,000 It's Jim Harkness who's gone over to help him out, and Al Foreman, the umpire, now comes across to supervise. 449 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:31,000 Hunt is down on one knee, working on the glove. 450 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:38,000 Now we're set to go as Ron Santo steps in, face left-hander Al Jackson. 451 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:45,000 The Cubs leading here by a score of two to nothing. 452 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:58,000 ... 453 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:13,000 Again Jackson works outside football, it's two and oh. 454 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:19,000 The Director of Athletics of the Cubs, Colonel Bob Whitlow, on hand again today as usual. 455 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:25,000 Here's a play of the gunball, the third, taken deep by Charlie Neal, winged it across the diamond in time. 456 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,000 Santo has gone it out. 457 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,000 One away, nobody on, and Leo Burke is coming up. 458 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:39,000 Burke was obtained by the Cubs from the St. Louis Cardinals. 459 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:53,000 He had come to the Cardinals from the Los Angeles Angels. He started his major league career with the Baltimore Orioles. 460 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:59,000 Here's a swing out of foul ball. 461 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:04,000 Colonel Whitlow charts each ballgame played by the Cubs. 462 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:09,000 Charts each pitch, so he is usually located directly behind home plate. 463 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:18,000 And he's back there again today, located adjacent to Homer's box. 464 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000 There's a lot of fun on in foul-out. 465 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:33,000 Apparently Colonel Whitlow was converting a few people down there last night because when we, on the television side, took a shot of Homer, there was a big banner in the crowd that said, let's go Cubs. 466 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:49,000 And that's a little unusual at the fellow ground. 467 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000 And the pitch is outside. 468 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:59,000 Actually we're in the long hot summer days and Colonel Whitlow himself is not actually doing the chart work today. 469 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:04,000 He is having the secretarial work done by an assistant. 470 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:10,000 That is more in line with the way of the military. 471 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,000 Here's a one-two pitch, and it's high. 472 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:26,000 Two and two. 473 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:32,000 One man out, nobody on base. Cubs batting top of the third. 474 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,000 Jackson lets up high. 475 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:49,000 It's out full night, three and two. 476 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,000 Here's a payoff pitch. 477 00:44:52,000 --> 00:45:14,000 Swung on, fouled off, he's still alive at three and two. 478 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,000 Leo Burke waiting. 479 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:23,000 Here's a swing out, a pop, fly to short right. Backpedaling is Ron Hutt. 480 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:28,000 He's out in right field and makes the catch. 481 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:50,000 Go away, nobody on and Kenny Hubb's coming up. 482 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:58,000 Running a ground ball at third, taken deep by Charlie Neal, the long throw in time, and he's out. 483 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,000 So Jackson gets the side out in order, the top of the third, no runs, no hits, no errors, none left. 484 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:09,000 Into two and a half innings at the fellow grounds, it's the Cubs two, the Mets nothing. 485 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000 Now here's another Ryan Gold riddle for you. 486 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:19,000 Here's the situation, runners on first and second, one out, the batter hits a foul fly toward the third base dugout. 487 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:23,000 Third baseman makes a catch and then falls into the dugout. 488 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:28,000 Now can the runners advance after the catch or what? Think about it. 489 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,000 Ready? 490 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:37,000 Both runners may advance one base since the third baseman being in the dugout was technically off the ball field. 491 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:42,000 You know, we hope you enjoy our Ryan Gold riddle just as we hope you enjoy Ryan Gold X to dry. 492 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:48,000 Here is a beer that's easy to enjoy. I mean, it's so much more refreshing than other beers. 493 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000 It's dry, tells you what. 494 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,000 Ryan Gold has a taste that's brisk and bright and clean clear through. 495 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,000 So enjoy the beer that's easy to get along with glass after glass. 496 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,000 Ryan Gold X to dry. 497 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:09,000 And the bottom of the third, Al Moran. 498 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,000 We have to lead off to the New York Mets. This is his first time up. 499 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:30,000 Cubs lead here to nothing. 500 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:43,000 Bob Buell with the pitch and it's in there for a call of strikes. 501 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,000 So far the Mets have only two hits off Buell. 502 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:53,000 They're swinging a foul ball going over into the club dugout. 503 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,000 Two strikes on. 504 00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:09,000 Don Landrum fielded the ball just on the steps the dugout. 505 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:16,000 Pitch is low and away. One ball, two strikes now. 506 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,000 As we mentioned, the Mets move into Pittsburgh this weekend. 507 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:25,000 We'll bring you that entire series on radio and television. 508 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,000 Here's a swing on a foul ball back in first. 509 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,000 Leo Burke gives it a run and he makes the play. 510 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,000 One away. 511 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:42,000 Coming up now Al Jackson. 512 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:52,000 Little Al coming up for his first time. He's been up 36 times this year, has seven hits. 513 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:58,000 Jackson was brought in in relief and the second game Sunday when Tracy Stallard, 514 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:06,000 showing signs of towering, Jackson came in to get the side out 515 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,000 and preserve the victory for Tracy Stallard. Here's the pitch outside. 516 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:28,000 One and oh. 517 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,000 Here's the pitch outside. 518 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:36,000 Two and oh. 519 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:42,000 Jim Hickman kneeling on dug. 520 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:47,000 Cubs two, the Mets nothing. 521 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:58,000 In there for a called strike. Two and one. 522 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:16,000 And now the two one pitch. Low and it's three balls, one strike to Al Jackson. 523 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,000 It's highly walking. 524 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:26,000 That is the first walk issued by Bob Buell as he has walked Al Jackson. 525 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:38,000 Jim Hickman coming up. 526 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:49,000 Well the Mets fans would like to see Jim give one a ride here to get the Mets back into this ball game. 527 00:50:49,000 --> 00:51:01,000 Burks holding the runner at first. Pitch misses outside and it's ball one. 528 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:07,000 Bob Buell started the day with a record of six victories, five losses. 529 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:23,000 In there for a called strike to Jim Hickman. 530 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:28,000 Throwing a ground ball, second by Sandoz, third to pull Pivot to play the second. 531 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,000 He's out and throw the first not in time. 532 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:38,000 So the relay was beaten by Jim Hickman after he had four. Al Jackson at second to play going from Sandoz to Hubs. 533 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:46,000 Sandoz moved to his left, gloved the ball and then made a complete pivot all the way around before taking on to Kenny Hubs coming at second. 534 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,000 The relay to first is a little high and Jim Hickman beat it. 535 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:57,000 So with two men out, Hickman becomes the base runner at first and Ron Hunt is coming up. 536 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:06,000 This is a great year for Chicago baseball fans. The White Sox right now are in second place but in a virtual tie with the Yankees, 537 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,000 trading only by percentage points. 538 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:17,000 And the Cubs, although they're in fifth place in the National League standings, are only three games out of first. 539 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:28,000 And that pitch is low for a ball. It's 1-0. 540 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:35,000 Duke Schneider moves out to the on deck position. 541 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:41,000 There's a swing and a fly ball to center and Elton Matthews lifts the glasses down and makes the catch. 542 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:47,000 So in the bottom of the third, the Mets got no runs, no hits, no errors in one round. 543 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:53,000 And at the end of three, it's the Cubs two, the Mets nothing. 544 00:52:53,000 --> 00:53:02,000 If you follow the New York Mets day in and day out, as so many of you do, you know of course that you can do it better with a copy of the New York Mets yearbook, 545 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,000 which has now gone into its third printing of this year. 546 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:16,000 The yearbook has features on Tasty Stengel, Shea Stadium, the Stadia Ramos floorboard, the coaches, information about the farm teams, 547 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,000 statistical and biographical information about all of all players. 548 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:28,000 And to get your copy, all you have to do is send 50 cents to Mets yearbook, Polo Grounds, New York 39, New York. 549 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:36,000 And if you want to pick up your yearbook in person, they are available at the ticket location in Pennsylvania Station, 550 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:41,000 that's in the Long Island Waiting Room, and at Grand Central Station, that's the foot of the Vanderbilt Avenue round. 551 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:50,000 Or you can send in for it as we said, 50 cents to Mets yearbook, Polo Grounds, New York 39, New York. 552 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,000 We'll be going here to the top of the fourth. 553 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:59,000 I've been held up a little bit because Al Jackson was a base run on the last inning and he is taking his time coming out here, of course. 554 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,000 It's a hot day at the Polo Grounds. 555 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:06,000 There is no other afternoon action in the Major Leagues today. 556 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:12,000 Everything is scheduled for tonight. The Pittsburgh paratroopers are at home to the Phillies. 557 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,000 San Francisco Giants play the Cardinals and St. Louis. 558 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:21,000 The Dodgers play the Cincinnati Reds and Cincinnati and the Houston Cubs 45s play the Milwaukee Braves and Milwaukee. 559 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:27,000 The American League, the Yankees are at Chicago, the Cleveland Indians are at Boston, the Washington Cedenters are at Kansas City, 560 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:33,000 the Detroit Tigers are at Minnesota, and the Baltimore Orioles play the Los Angeles Angels in a twilight. 561 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:37,000 Al Jackson still has not come out of the dugout here. 562 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:43,000 Umpire Stan Landis, we're on the on-deck circle sort of waiting. 563 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:52,000 The Mets are on the field with the exception of Jackson. 564 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:57,000 As we go to the fourth, the Cubs have two runs on three hits and no errors. 565 00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:01,000 The Mets have no runs on two hits and two errors. 566 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:06,000 This is the concluding game of this short two-game series. 567 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,000 This is the concluding game of this homestand. 568 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:13,000 The New York Mets will go to Buffalo tomorrow and play Buffalo tomorrow night. 569 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,000 That game will not be broadcast or telecast. 570 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:20,000 It's an exhibition game between the Mets and their top farm clubs. 571 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:26,000 But they'll move on into Pittsburgh on Friday night and that one, of course, will be broadcast and televised. 572 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000 That will be the entire series in Pittsburgh. 573 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:35,000 Then the Mets will be moving on over to Chicago, play the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, 574 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,000 and they'll stay there through the doubleheader on the 4th of July. 575 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:45,000 That 4th of July doubleheader will be brought to you on radio and television. 576 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:52,000 Al Jackson has come out now. He's gone out to the mountains to start his warm-up classes and all warmed up. 577 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:57,000 And ready to take over here is a fellow who looks remarkably cool on a warm summer's day, but then he's cool, man. 578 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,000 Here's Ralph Kinnis. 579 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000 Hi, Lindsey. And hi there, everybody. 580 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,000 Hello, Lindsey. This is the kind of a day you can warm up by combing your hair. 581 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:12,000 Al Jackson changed uniforms. That was the reason for his delay, changing tops. 582 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,000 In the national league, the St. Louis Cardinals are back on top again. 583 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,000 They defeated San Francisco 6-5. 584 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:24,000 They scored five runs in the first inning and then needed a run in the bottom half of the ninth to defeat the Giants. 585 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:31,000 Dodgers defeated Cincinnati last night 4-1. Sandy Koufax, a winning pitcher, over Jim O'Toole. 586 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:35,000 Felt it off your 5, Pittsburgh 4 last night, and Milwaukee 4, Houston nothing. 587 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,000 Houston has scored one run in their last 66th inning. 588 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:43,000 Now Jackson's set to go. His first pitch is low, ball one to Dick Bertell. 589 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:49,000 It'll be Dick Bertell, Nelson Matthews, and Bob Duell against the left-handers. 590 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:54,000 Dick getting to a fourth by his first time up. He's betting 247. 591 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:59,000 And Jackson comes back again. It's high, ball two. Two balls, no strikes. 592 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:06,000 Cubs have two runs on three hits. Mets have no runs and two hits. 593 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:12,000 One of the Cubs runs unearned. 594 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:18,000 Now the 2-0 delivery, pulled foul right down through the third base coaching box. 595 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:26,000 Merlin Walker jumping over the ball. It's strike one. 596 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:32,000 Two balls and one strike. 597 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:37,000 Bertell a right-hand batter with two home runs and eight runs battered in. 598 00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:43,000 Now Jackson back to work, and the pitch is fouled this time over the top of the coaching box into the stands. 599 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:58,000 Five rounds to count out of two balls and two strikes. 600 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:06,000 No one out here at the top of the fourth. 601 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:10,000 And the 2-2 delivery is it down the left field line at base hit. 602 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:16,000 The ball is off of the wall in the first bounce, played there by Thomas, a throw in holds Bertell at first base. 603 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:22,000 Long single by Dick Bertell, and Jackson now has given up his fourth base hit in the ball game, 604 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,000 and the Cubs have a runner at first base with no one out. 605 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:34,000 And Nelson Matthews the batter. Matthews is betting 163. He'd fight out the center field his first time up. 606 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:52,000 Matthews a right-hand batter. Big tall fellow, 6'4", and the first pitch by Jackson is inside tight for ball one, the slider. 607 00:58:52,000 --> 00:59:00,000 One ball, no strikes. 608 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:08,000 This is Howell's second start against the Cubs. He lost his first time out right here in the foreground on Memorial Day. 609 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:16,000 Now the one opens deep to center field. Back there is Jim Hickman. He's by the warning track now on it, and he makes the guess. 610 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:28,000 Coming back to first base, Dick Bertell. One man out. The batter will be Bob Buell. 611 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:35,000 Buell bounced back to the pitcher his first time up. He is batting 114, five hits and 43 trips, and the five hits, 612 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:42,000 something he's not used to. He went all last year without a base hit. 613 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:50,000 Buell finally got a base hit this year. Then he went off his rocker and came up with four more. 614 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:55,000 He's a right-hand batter, Johnny Neal looking for the bunt, and the pitcher has taken outside ball one. 615 00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:02,000 Buell squaring around, then taking one ball, no strikes. 616 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:12,000 Cubs do nothing over the Mets. One man out top of the fourth inning. 617 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:19,000 Jackson in the stretch position, and now to first base, charging from third. As the throw went to first was Johnny Neal. 618 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:33,000 Bertell at first base, just a short lead and back ahead of his tag. Now Jackson again to first base, again Bertell back. 619 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:45,000 Set position again, and the pitch home is bounce foul down the third base side. One ball, one strike. 620 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:50,000 You'll find that most of the managers nowadays do not go all the way with the bunt play. 621 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:55,000 They'll swing around back and forth. One time they will bunt with the runner at first base. 622 01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:05,000 Next time they'll hit away, especially with the third baseman and first baseman charging so strongly. 623 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:16,000 Now at one-one, the bunt is fouled down toward the first base side. Knock foul by Sammy Taylor, and the count is one and two. 624 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:25,000 Returning to first base with one man out is Dick Bertell. 625 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:33,000 The on deck batter is Ellis Burton, who has a home run in this game, his second of the year. 626 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:39,000 Gov scored one run in the first, one in the second. We're in the fourth inning right now. 627 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:45,000 And here's a bunt, a good one down toward first base. Picked up by Harkness, he fires the second base in time. 628 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:51,000 And the fourth play is picked up at second base on Dick Bertell. That bunt actually was better than the result. 629 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:58,000 It was bunted out toward first base, but Harkness, even though with a count one and two, charged quickly, came up throwing. 630 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:03,000 Bertell, who is not fast, was forced at second base. 631 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:08,000 Ball is picked up about 40 feet from home plate. 632 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:16,000 Now two men out and Ellis Burton the batter. Burton the switch hitter had a home run over the top of the roof his first time up, 633 01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:34,000 his second time up, he struck out his first time up, and the first pitch to Burton is low for ball one. 634 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:41,000 And Jackson with a slow change gets the strike. One ball, one strike. Burton batting 225. 635 01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:50,000 He's been around a while. He started playing ball in the St. Louis Cardinal organization back in 1955. 636 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:57,000 He was picked up from Cleveland this year. One-one pitch fouled high in the air, back of home plate. 637 01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:04,000 They catch their sammit there and he makes the catch to retire the side. 638 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:09,000 In the end, he no runs on one hit. There were no errors and one man was left out and the score at the end, 639 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,000 it was a three and a half inning to play. The Cubs two, the New York Mets nothing. 640 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,000 Now a word from Cool Cigarettes. 641 01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,000 Are you thinking of changing to a menthol cigarette? 642 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:25,000 Well don't make a disappointing change. Make the right change. Come up to cool. Here's why. 643 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:39,000 Your cigarette's not tasting cool enough unless you're smoking cool. You're not smoking cool enough until you've gone up to cool. 644 01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:52,000 Two can for magic, right and change, refreshing all day through. Feel extra cool and sing in your throat as cool comes through for you. 645 01:03:52,000 --> 01:04:04,000 You're not smoking cool, cool, cool enough until you've gone up to cool. 646 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:09,000 Enjoy the extra coolness you feel in your throat when you smoke cool. 647 01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:20,000 Enjoy that bright clear taste all day long. Come up to cool. Cool with the pure white filter or cool without filter. 648 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:27,000 The bottom half of the fourth inning with the Mets coming to bat. They need two to tie and Bob Bureau taking time before coming out to warm up. 649 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:31,000 So we'll use the opportunity to pause for station identification. 650 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,000 810 and your dial, WGY's, connect to the New York. 651 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:42,000 Our weather is sunny and warm. The barometer falling. Our present temperature 88 degrees at 259. 652 01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:46,000 Ralph Garner along with Lindsey Nelson and Bob Murphy from the Polar Ground. 653 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:52,000 Final game of the homestand. The Cubs on top two to nothing. We're in the bottom half of the fourth inning. 654 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:57,000 And leading off for the Mets will be Duke Snyder. He'll be followed by Frank Thomas and Sammy Taylor. 655 01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:02,000 So the Mets will be setting up their third, fourth, and fifth batters. 656 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:08,000 On the mound, Bob Bureau, he has given up no runs, allowed two hits. 657 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:18,000 Struck out nine and walked one. 658 01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:23,000 Duke was robbed of an extra base hit his first time up by Burton in right field. 659 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,000 One of the real great catches seen here this year. 660 01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,000 It was a backhand running catch to right center field. 661 01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:37,000 And the first pitch now to Duke is outside.

Nelson, Matthews back on the warning track and he makes the catch. 665 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:57,000 Matthews about three steps back on the warning track, 440 feet away. 666 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:01,000 So Duke has hit the ball well and two times up and he is 0 for 2. 667 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:11,000 Now bring up Frank Thomas. 668 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:17,000 Thomas single to center field his first time up.

01:10:50,000 --> 01:11:04,000 And Jackson back again this time the fastball is thrown and the ball is fouled toward the right field side for strike two. 715 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:10,000 Al Jackson 27 years of age from Houston Texas and the left hander now with a two strike delivery. 716 01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:14,000 And it's just high for ball one. 717 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:19,000 Al has won six

01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:35,000 There's a pitch back to Rogers and a line shot over the top of the second baseman's head. 720 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,000 It could go for two picked up by Duke Stader. 721 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:42,000 Here comes the throw and Rogers ends up at second base with a stand up double. 722 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:47,000 Hit number five Al Jackson that ball was tagged. 723 01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:54,000 Ron Hunt at second base tried to jump forward couldn't get high enough and Rogers came up with two. 724 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,000 No one out and the batter will be Bill Williams. 725 01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:07,000 Williams didn't do a force play his first time up and he scored the first run of the game when he scored an error by Charlie Neal. 726 01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:15,000 Cubs picked up their second run in the second inning on the home run by Ellis Burton and that's the way the score stands to the Nubbing. 727 01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:26,000 Williams also flied out so he is 0 for 2 in the first pitch to the left hand batters outside for ball one. 728 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:41,000 Williams batting 3 0 8. 729 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:48,000 And Jackson

because there's not much humidity. 732 01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,000 Real good hitters day. 733 01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:04,000 Pitchers don't like this kind of weather. 734 01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:24,000 One ball one strike and the pitch to Williams is taken inside ball two. 735 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:29,000 Andre Rogers in second base with a short blade. 736 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:33,000 Jackson with a look back there now back to the plate. 737 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,000 And there's a foul ball right off the end of the bat. 738 01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:44,000 Ball spinning over toward the third base box seats and the count now two balls and three strikes. 739 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:57,000 Williams way out in front of the change of curve. 740 01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:02,000 The on deck batter Ron Sando who has been red hot. 741 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,000 Here's the 2 2 pitch to Williams. 742 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:07,000 It's down the right field line but it's going to go foul. 743 01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,000 Ball goes into the upper deck. 744 01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:10,000 Williams going for a curve ball. 745 01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:17,000 The ball was hung inside and he hit the ball right down the line but foul by about 15 feet. 746 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:33,000 So the count will remain at two balls and two strikes. 747 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:38,000 Jackson sets and the pitch back is swung on and missed strike three. 748 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:44,000 And now Jackson picked up his second strikeout his first out here in the fifth inning. 749 01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:47,000 And the batter coming up is Ron Sando with a runner at second base. 750 01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:59,000 The Cubs lead 2 to nothing. 751 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:05,000 Sando singles the right field his first time up and he has now hit in six consecutive games. 752 01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:09,000 He grounded out the third his second time at bat. 753 01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:14,000 He has had 15 hits in his last 26 times up. 754 01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:18,000 And a slow change of pace is hit off the end of the bat down the short. 755 01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:21,000 Al Moran picks it up throws low on the third and the ball gets away from Harkness. 756 01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:24,000 Going over to third base after the ball got away. 757 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:29,000 Andre Rogers it'll be charged in there and Al Moran. 758 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:34,000 Moran came up throwing he had plenty of time because Sando is not a fast man but he could get nothing on the ball. 759 01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:39,000 The ball hit about 10 feet in front of Tim Harkness at first base and skidded down the ground. 760 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:45,000 And the ball went under Harkness's glove and bounced off his right foot and bounced away. 761 01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:50,000 So the air the third in the ball game by the Mets. 762 01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,000 And the Cubs now threaten again. 763 01:15:52,000 --> 01:16:03,000 Runners at first and third the batter is Leo Burke. 764 01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:09,000 Leo was safe in an error his first time up and on that play the Cubs scored their first run. 765 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:15,000 He also has popped out so he is 0 for 2 a right hand batter and the first pitch is low for ball one. 766 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:22,000 Mets are playing the infield back looking for a double play. 767 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,000 Burke acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals. 768 01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:31,000 He started the year with the Los Angeles Angels was picked up by the Cardinals and now has moved to the Chicago Cubs. 769 01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,000 He's betting 196. 770 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:39,000 There's a hard smash through the middle scoring from third base is Andre Rogers. 771 01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:59,000 Holding that second base Ron Sando and the Cubs now lead 3 to nothing. 772 01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:16,000 Cubs now three runs on six hits and the batter coming into the batter's box is Kenny Hubbs. 773 01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,000 Larry Bernard up and drawing for the Mets in the bullpen. 774 01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:25,000 He was relieved in the ball game yesterday worked the ninth inning pitch the three batters got them all out. 775 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:29,000 Here's Kenny Hubbs and his first pitch is hit deep to left field way back there. 776 01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:34,000 Thomas is back in the warning track by the bullpen and he makes the catch. 777 01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:38,000 Tagged up now at second base but not going over is Ron Sando. 778 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:42,000 Sando was halfway down the line he went back to tag up couldn't get back in time. 779 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:50,000 He could have moved over with no trouble at all as Frank Thomas caught the ball right by the bullpen warm up. 780 01:17:50,000 --> 01:18:03,000 Right near the pitcher's mound and now two men out. 781 01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,000 Two men out the batter Dick Bertell. 782 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,000 Dick a right hand batter with one hit and two times up. 783 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:14,000 He's betting 251. 784 01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:21,000 And the first pitch is fouled down in the dirt and back of the catcher for strike one. 785 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:26,000 Dick Bertell the catcher for the Chicago Cubs. 786 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:39,000 Now they're motioning down to the cup bullpen to move four of the players back in the sun off the playing field and into the bullpen area. 787 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:48,000 For the Cubs looking for some shade you really can't blame them the cup bullpen is right in the sun right now the sun shining directly into it. 788 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,000 And that's why it's a visiting bullpen. 789 01:18:51,000 --> 01:19:01,000 Home bullpen in the shade and that's the way it is in every ballpark. 790 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:09,000 Now the one strike delivery to Dick Bertell a slow curve looked at for strike two. 791 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:23,000 Boy it's hot out there because that sun beats right on top of the roof of the bullpen and also bounces right off of the wall and that wall radiating heat. 792 01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:28,000 Ninety-four degrees here at the Polo grounds at three o'clock. 793 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,000 Cubs lead three

toward the third base coaching box. 805 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:13,000 And Al Jackson will work with a new ball. Larry Bernard still throwing in the bullpen for the Mets. 806 01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:23,000 In the Mets fifth when they come to bat Al Jackson will be the fourth batter in the inning. 807 01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:37,000 Mets it out trail by four runs the Cubs with one run in the first one in the second two here in the fifth. 808 01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:43,000 Nelson Matthews batting at 161. 809 01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:48,000 And the one strike delivery is low for ball one a fastball. 810 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:53,000 Count even at one ball and one strike. 811 01:21:53,000 --> 01:22:02,000 Andre Rogers let off with a double and Bill Williams struck out but Ron Sano was safe in an error. 812 01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:09,000 Rogers moving to third base where he scored when Leo Burke singled

tie the bottom half of the fifth inning. 828 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:28,000 They all send up Tim Harkness Charlie Neal Al Moran as their first three men and with Larry Bernard warming up still in the both end for the Mets. 829 01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:44,000 There's a good chance that if one of the three get on or more manager Casey Stinger will use a pinch hitter for Al Jackson. 830 01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:51,000 Tim Harkness down the batter's box Tim single off the wall his first time up. 831 01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:57,000 That's 10 better batting that to all nine. 832 01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:07,000 And his first pitch is a curveball for strike one on the mound for the Gubs Bob you'll Bob has given up no runs allowed only two hits they both came in the second inning. 833 01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:21,000 He has struck out none of what one and he comes back with a strike again for strike two. 834 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:34,000 And the two strike delivery a fastball outside for ball one one ball two strikes. 835 01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:43,000 Here's the one to pitch an overhand curve in the dirt for ball to warming up in the bullpen for the cops is going to hobby. 836 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:54,000 But you'd have to guess right now through speculation that Glenn is warming up for starting assignment later on not in this game. 837 01:25:54,000 --> 01:26:03,000 There's a two to pitch fouled back into the upper deck for a holding count of two balls and two strikes. 838 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:14,000 Chico Fernandez warming up in the bullpen for the match he might come in the ballgame third batter up in this any now brand. 839 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:21,000 Now again a two to a slider popped up in the infield Andre Rogers calling. 840 01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:28,000 And he makes the catch for number one. 841 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:46,000 That will bring up Johnny Neil either to a force play to the shortstop his first time up Charlie batting to thirty two. 842 01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:54,000 And the first pitch by a bureau to Neil is high for ball one. 843 01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:58,000 That's have four runs on seven hits the Mets have no runs and two hits. 844 01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:04,000 There's a bouncy ball a short Rogers takes a half hop a tough chance fires the first base out number two. 845 01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:10,000 Rogers comes up throwing he's got a strong arm and he fires that ball right off the top. 846 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:19,000 Two men out and Eddie Crane ball now being sent up the bat for Al Brand. 847 01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:26,000 And a left hand batter he's batting two or three. 848 01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:59,000 And with two home runs 10 runs batted in and the first pitch to Crane pool is a fastball it's right through the heart of the plate for strike one. 849 01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:15,000 That's the quarter tie the Cubs have two out the bottom half of the fifth and again the fastball but this one outside. 850 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:22,000 One ball one strike you're back to work in the fastball filed off ball bouncing in the dirt. 851 01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:31,000 The camp moving along the one and two Mets have a very short road trip. 852 01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:38,000 They play three at Pittsburgh and four at Chicago before returning home and they open up against Pittsburgh right here. 853 01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:43,000 Here's the pitch back to the plate a fastball low two balls and two strikes. 854 01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:53,000 They play Pittsburgh a Friday afternoon day game a Saturday evening night game that's variety night and a Sunday single game. 855 01:28:53,000 --> 01:29:04,000 There's a high pop up back of home Dick Bortel has plenty of room and he makes the catch to retire the side. 856 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:11,000 Another easy inning for Bob Buell for the second time in a row he has retired the side in order and the score at the end of five innings to play. 857 01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:15,000 The Cubs four the New York Mets nothing. 858 01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:20,000 Now let's listen to an old favorite brought up to date. 859 01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:45,000 Rheingold extra dry beer is the name of my beer brisk and bright refreshing brew. Rheingold flavors clean clear through. It's not sweet or bitter. That's why folks consider Rheingold is the beer to buy. Dry will tell you why. 860 01:29:45,000 --> 01:30:02,000 Slowly ageful flavor Rheingold's taste you'll savor. Here is beer as beer should taste. That's the reason to make haste. Next time you're out shopping in a tavern poppin why not sing out clear and high Rheingold extra dry. 861 01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:21,000 Why beer is Rheingold the dry beer. Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer. It's not bitter not sweet. It's the dry flavor treat. Won't you try extra dry Rheingold beer. 862 01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:32,000 Five innings behind us as we move to the top of the sixth inning in the ballgame for the Mets and shortstop in place of Al Moran who was taken out for a pinch hitter is Chico Fernandez. 863 01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:46,000 Al Jackson on the mound for the Mets he has worked through five innings giving up four runs two of them earned allowing seven hits striking out three and walking one and now he'll oppose his opposing pitcher Bob Buell. 864 01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:50,000 Buell is 0 for 2 against Al. 865 01:30:50,000 --> 01:31:07,000 The first pitch to the right hand batter is swung on strike one that pitch in the dirt picked up by Sammy Taylor. 866 01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:12,000 One strike delivery again swung on this one in the strike zone. 867 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:24,000 He can his own too. When he talked to Bob Buell about his 0 for 80 plus he gets a little bit indignant doesn't like to talk about it. 868 01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:31,000 He looks at a fastball outside one ball two strikes. 869 01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:41,000 The base that he got to break up the long drop was a high pop up and everybody ran after it and then everybody pulled away. 870 01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:52,000 Now at 1-2 Buell hits a fly ball to center field Jim Hickman glides back turns and he glugged it. 871 01:31:52,000 --> 01:32:01,000 So Al has one out in the top of the sixth inning he trails 4 to nothing and the batter will be Ellis Burton who had a home run in the second inning. 872 01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:10,000 His second of the year and that base hit by Burton at that point gave the Cubs a 2-0 lead they added two more in the fifth. 873 01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:17,000 Burton batting 268 he's a switch hitter batting from the right hand side against Al Jackson. 874 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:24,000 And the first pitch is thrown but time was called so it does not count. 875 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:36,000 Stan Landis the home plate umpire standing with both hands up and Al threw the pitch without lucky. Now time is in we'll start all over. 876 01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:52,000 And a curve ball is low for ball one. Mets and Cubs have played six times prior to this game and it's been a Mexican standoff both teams winning three games. 877 01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:58,000 Next pitch back to the plate is a called strike one ball one strike. 878 01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:08,000 Right here in the foreground the Cubs have been the top team they have won three of the four play the Mets have won two of the two played in Chicago. 879 01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:16,000 Small change up a hard swing a foul ball. Burton was not fooled in the change of pace he got a big swing on that one. 880 01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:27,000 One ball two strikes. 881 01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:32,000 One ball two strikes the on deck batter Andre Rogers. 882 01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:39,000 Jackson back with a slider and there's a swing and a miss for strike three and Al Jackson now has four strikeouts. 883 01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:50,000 He has two men out here in the sixth inning as the Cubs lead 4-0 and the batter will be Andre Rogers who has two doubles and two times up also a walk to go along. 884 01:33:50,000 --> 01:34:06,000 Rogers with a grounds rule double to right field his second time up and a double to right center his third he walked his first time up. 885 01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:12,000 And the first pitch to the right hand batter is taken for strike one. 886 01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:23,000 Rogers batting to 18. 887 01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:32,000 Jackson back high with a fastball one ball one strike. 888 01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:39,000 Cubs have four runs on seven hits the Mets have only two hits in the ballgame and no runs. 889 01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:56,000 Slow change of pace outside two balls and one strike. 890 01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:05,000 No action in either bullpen as Jackson comes back at 2-1 and he misses outside for ball three. 891 01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:13,000 Andre Rogers now checking the signs looking for the hit sign at 3-1 the on deck batter is Billy Williams. 892 01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:17,000 He'll be given the hit sign you got to bet on that. 893 01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:24,000 Two men out they want him to go all out and he takes for ball four and that puts a runner on at first base with two outs. 894 01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:43,000 The second walk issued by Al Jackson in the game and coming up now Bill Williams who is all for three in the game. 895 01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:49,000 Williams batting 3-0-7 left hand batter. 896 01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:59,000 He struck out his last time up there's a bouncing ball that goes off to the right side foul for strike one. 897 01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:14,000 Williams last year missed hitting 300 by two points he batted 298. 898 01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:19,000 Throw to first base but Rogers with a short lead back way ahead of the tag. 899 01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:24,000 Cubs four Mets nothing two outs top of the sixth. 900 01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:35,000 And a slow change up the Williams is popped up the shortstop Chico Fernandez has plenty of room and he makes the catch to retire the side. 901 01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:43,000 In the end he no runs no hits there were no mad errors one walk and one man left on and the score at the end of five and one half innings of play. 902 01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:47,000 Cubs four New York Mets nothing. 903 01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:53,000 You know the New York area has just about everything it's the most wonderful place in the world. 904 01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:56,000 Yes you name it and New York has got it. 905 01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:01,000 Parks, beaches, baseball, football, golf, lakes, amusement. 906 01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:06,000 People in New York have a lot to choose from and that goes for beer too. 907 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:15,000 I think it's really something that of all the brands of beer available New Yorkers have made Rheingold extra dry their favorite. 908 01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:19,000 That's quite a tribute to the quality of Rheingold. 909 01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:22,000 Rheingold is brewed of the very choicest ingredients. 910 01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:25,000 Brewed the long slow costly way. 911 01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,000 The extra dry way. 912 01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:31,000 And extra dry tells you why Rheingold is so wonderful. 913 01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:33,000 So much more refreshing. 914 01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:36,000 It's beer as beer should taste. 915 01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,000 Frisk and bright and clean clear through. 916 01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:44,000 Why not enjoy the extra refreshment of Rheingold extra dry beer. 917 01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:51,000 Join all the millions who say my beer it's Rheingold the dry beer. 918 01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:56,000 All set to go here and we'll pause for a second for station identification. 919 01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:07,000 Take 10 in your dial WG Weiss connected at the time 332 our temperature stands right now at 89 degrees. 920 01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:11,000 Ralph Keiner along with Lindsay Nelson and Bob Murphy from the foreground. 921 01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,000 The Mets coming to bat they need four to tie. 922 01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,000 They are setting up Cliff Cook to bat for Al Jackson. 923 01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,000 Larry Bernard warming up in the bullpen for the Mets. 924 01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:23,000 It'll be Cliff Cook, Jim Hickman and Ron Hunt against Bob Buell. 925 01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:28,000 First pitch is a slider and Cook was way out in front as he swings and misses for strike one. 926 01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:36,000 Cliff batting 151 he has two home runs and eight runs batted in. 927 01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:49,000 Buell back and this time he misses with a slider one ball one strike. 928 01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:54,000 And now Buell with another pitch the ball hit down the short a backhand stab by the shortstop Rogers. 929 01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:57,000 He comes up throwing and gets his man. 930 01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:01,000 That was one of those now you see it now you don't plays. 931 01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:09,000 Rogers went over in the hole he had a half hop to pick up he kind of swiped at it and came up with it backhanded one handed. 932 01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:12,000 And then threw to first base for the out. 933 01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:23,000 And now one of the cup players in the dugout Don Landrum giving the sign as though he were a bullfighter because that's just about the way that Rogers played the ball. 934 01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:28,000 It was a swing and a pass like a bullfighter passing a cow or I should say a bull on by. 935 01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:31,000 It could have been a cow the way he played it. 936 01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:34,000 Here's the first pitch now to Jim Hickman it's outside for ball one. 937 01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:41,000 Buell comes back and misses again for ball two. 938 01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:53,000 Well that play you can't play any other way it was either do or die and Andre Rogers did it. 939 01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:58,000 Now the pitch to Hickman fouled off. 940 01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:15,000 The count is one ball and two strikes correction on that make it two balls and one strike. 941 01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:30,000 Hickman back to work with a new ball and there is a check on the swing but not in time he went too far to and to. 942 01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:37,000 And Hickman looks at another pitch for a called strike three that is the first strikeout by Bob Buell in the game. 943 01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:40,000 He has given up only two hits the Cubs lead four to nothing. 944 01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:44,000 Now with two out he'll pitch to Ron Hunt. 945 01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:47,000 He's now for two he has grounded out the short and quite out the center field. 946 01:40:47,000 --> 01:41:01,000 He's now batting 266. 947 01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:09,000 Bottom half of the sixth inning two men out the batter Ron Hunt the on deck man is Duke Snyder. 948 01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:17,000 And Buell misses low outside with his first pitch for ball one. 949 01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:23,000 Buell is making his second appearance against the Mets he lost his first time out two to nothing. 950 01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:29,000 There's a fly ball hit the Shal left field charging his Billy Williams he has to hurry he can't get to it. 951 01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:44,000 The ball drops in and Ron Hunt has a base hit the third base hit off Bob Buell that'll bring up Duke Snyder. 952 01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:56,000 Duke has hit the ball exceptionally well but he has no hits he was robbed with a brilliant catch by Burton in right field his first time up one of the best catches you'll ever see. 953 01:41:56,000 --> 01:42:10,000 He's now batting five out the deep center field a second time up the ball caught four hundred and forty feet away and the first pitch to Duke is taking a called strike Bob Buell with a change of pace. 954 01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:25,000 Matter batting 223 with 12 home runs 27 runs batted in Mets now with a chance to get back in the ballgame they need four to tie one strike pitch outside and the can now even at one ball one strike. 955 01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:40,000 Buell now back to Snyder there's a high pop up down the third base side a tough chance for Sando. 956 01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:48,000 He's going way back in the well and he can't get to it. 957 01:42:48,000 --> 01:43:07,000 Now moves up the one and two returning back to first base after moving all the way to third is Ron Hunt. 958 01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:19,000 They said by Ron Hunt here in this setting the first hit off Bob Buell since the Mets picked up their only other two hits in the second inning. 959 01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:23,000 That's seven basis to go with their four run. 960 01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:34,000 There's the one to deliver to Duke and it's bowed down in the dirt. 961 01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:44,000 Yeah I'm Jack batter Frank Thomas picking the ball up and throwing it back to the umpire Sam Landis one ball two strikes two men out. 962 01:43:44,000 --> 01:44:06,000 You know that comes back with a fastball it's hard down the first high hop over the top of Leo Burkett. 963 01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:33,000 That was a hard ground ball down the first base and at the last moment the ball took a high hop and bounded over the top of the glove of Leo Burkett first base. 964 01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:47,000 All that went on out off of the wall played there by Burton and scoring from first base on the two base hit by Duke Snyder was Ron Hunt the score now four to one in favor of the Cubs and the batters Frank Thomas and his first pitch. 965 01:44:47,000 --> 01:45:16,000 That's a left field it's got to go. It's long gone a home run. 966 01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:44,000 Frank Thomas with a long home run that went over the roof right down the left field line and the Mets are back in the ball game the score of four to three in favor of the Cubs and warming up in the bullpen for the Cubs as John Elston out to the mound now as Bob Kennedy the acting manager of the Chicago Cubs. 967 01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:58,000 Well the Mets are bouncing back on some fine hitting by Duke Snyder and Frank Thomas say you know why I rang gold tastes so good while dry tells you why it tells you that right. 968 01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:17,000 The Mets are playing gold extra dry and throw the long ball cost their way for a flavor that's risk and right and clean clear through. Enjoy some Bob Kennedy now back to the dugout Bob Buell still in the ballgame the Mets have scored three in the bottom half of the sixth inning. 969 01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:29,000 The first five run comes to the plate at Sammy Taylor. Two men out and the first pitch to Taylor is fouled out in the dirt for strike one. 970 01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:41,000 Home run by Frank Thomas is fifth this year and he has driven in now twenty two runs. 971 01:46:41,000 --> 01:47:01,000 The strike delivery by Buell to Taylor is outside a fastball one ball one strike and Taylor takes outside again two balls and one strike. 972 01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:09,000 The destroyer with Don Elston in the bullpen is Jack Warner to right hander. 973 01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:21,000 The Mets exporting for three runs in the bottom half of the sixth inning with two men out now have moved up to where they're only one run behind. 974 01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:40,000 Back to Taylor outside ball three three balls and one strike beyond deck battered Jim Harkness. 975 01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:56,000 Here's a three one delivery fastball deep the right field way back there is Burton but he has room and he makes the guess. All God right in front of the bullpen about four hundred and twenty feet away and that retires the side. 976 01:47:56,000 --> 01:48:16,000 In the end he's all the Mets score three runs on three base it ever nowhere and no one left on the Mets now taking a field get a fine hand but the score in favor the Cubs now by only one run they lead four to three. 977 01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:29,000 Well even though there's a lot of variety out here at the Polar Grounds just about every game is played the Mets have scheduled a special variety night and it's also date night on Saturday night July 6. 978 01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:43,000 Saturday night the first night game scheduled on Saturday this year there'll be plenty of entertainment it'll start at six thirty you'll see Chubby Checker DD Sharp the Earl they'll be out here to entertain and the good guys from W.A.B.C. 979 01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:59,000 Sam Holman Dan Ingram Charlie Greer Herb Oscar Anderson Scott Muni Bob Dayton Bruce Morrill and Bob Lewis they'll all be here to entertain you Friday night Saturday night July the 6th. 980 01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:13,000 Oh that sounds like a real big night and on that night and that will be playing the Pittsburgh Pirates they return home from their very brief road trip Friday afternoon July 5. 981 01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:26,000 They'll play an afternoon game game time at two o'clock by Saturday night July 6 game time at eight o'clock and they'll play a single game on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. 982 01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:48,000 Right after that the All-Star break and then the big series with the Los Angeles Dodgers starting July 10 the night game that is not on your schedule that game a make up game from a rain out and I game July 11 with the Dodgers and I game July 12 with the Dodgers and a ladies day game July 13 with the Dodgers. 983 01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:59,000 Better make your reservations early. Now we have Larry Bernard in the ballgame for the Mets Al Jackson going out out at the total of six innings gave up four runs two of them earned. 984 01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:08,000 He allowed seven it struck out for and walked to but I thought the record of two wins and two losses he worked last night worked one inning in perfect style. 985 01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:21,000 His first man will be Ron Sando and the first pitch is a called strike. 986 01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:34,000 Bernard back with an overhand curveball there's a deep fly ball to right center field coming over to center and he makes the catch. 987 01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:47,000 Well Ron Sando is out. He has one hit and four trips up. He has hit in six consecutive games now for the Cubs and with a score of four to three in favor of Chicago the batter will be Leo Burke. 988 01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:58,000 They are right hand batter with one hit and three times up. 989 01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:09,000 And the first pitch to Burke is over a called strike. All told the right hand are now throwing for the Cubs in the bullpen. 990 01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:20,000 Bernard back and inside one ball one strike. 991 01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:24,000 This is Larry's twenty third appearance. 992 01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:30,000 And an overhand curve is fouled down in the dirt one ball two strikes. 993 01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:45,000 Larry has not started a game this year all twenty three of his appearances in relief. 994 01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:58,000 One ball two strikes but I'm back with a fastball and it's fouled off of the hands out of play. 995 01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:06,000 The twenty three appearances by Larry Bernard ties Mackenzie for the most appearances so far this year by a Met player. 996 01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:20,000 Mackenzie also picking up his appearances in relief and now a curve ball has looked at a called strike three. 997 01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:28,000 Leo Burke made a gesture and dropped the bat with just a little bit of elevation on it and I think he's been ejected from the ball game. 998 01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:50,000 Boy he just was out of there in a hurry and now Bob Kennedy is up arguing about the fact that Leo Burke has been ejected. 999 01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:59,000 I don't know if you're a Met fan but that might be a bad break because Ernie Banks is sitting on the bench and he might be coming in. 1000 01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:09,000 Ernie having a good home run here for the Chicago Cubs he has hit fifteen home runs Burke has so far this year hit only one. 1001 01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:14,000 Now Ernie Banks coming in from the bullpen and he's on the bench and he'll be in the ball game. 1002 01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:21,000 Leo Burke has been ejected. I wonder what side the umpire is on. 1003 01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:25,000 That's the worst sort of break you can get believe me. 1004 01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:34,000 Now Burke going out to center field to the clubhouse and as he moves on by the umpire Stan Landon he has a couple more words to say. 1005 01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:40,000 He also stops the chat with third base umpire Tim Gorman. 1006 01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:45,000 Cubs lead four to three plenty of excitement left. Two men out here in the top of the seventh. 1007 01:53:45,000 --> 01:54:02,000 The batter coming in now is Kenny Hubs. 1008 01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:06,000 Hubs is all for three. Here's Larry Bernard with his first pitch to the right hand batter. 1009 01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:14,000 Slider hit down to the shortstop Chico Fernandez. He comes up throwing and gets his man. 1010 01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:22,000 So the Mets bounce right back in this game. They trail by only one now and in the top of the seventh inning for the Cubs no runs no hits. 1011 01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:30,000 There were no med errors and no one left on. And the score after six and one half innings to play the Cubs four the New York Mets three. 1012 01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:37,000 Well here it is the seventh inning stretch. You know what that calls for Lindsey? Yes sir I'll turn to do that. 1013 01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:41,000 Calls for fine cold Rheingold. Rheingold extra dry beer. 1014 01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:46,000 And really Lindsey you know anytime any nice time calls for Rheingold. 1015 01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:50,000 Makes any wonderful day just a little bit more wonderful. But then that figures. 1016 01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:59,000 Because Rheingold is the dry beer. Yes two little words extra dry tell you why Rheingold is the happy choice of millions. 1017 01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:04,000 Extra dry tells you Rheingold is brewed along slow cost of your way to taste. 1018 01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:09,000 Frisk and bright and clean clear through. Rheingold is beer as beer should taste. 1019 01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:15,000 That's why millions say my beer is Rheingold the dry beer. So why not join them. 1020 01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:20,000 Enjoy a tall refreshing glass of Rheingold as we bring you more of the baseball action. 1021 01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:24,000 We have changes on the field and to tell you all about them here's Ralph Kinnick. 1022 01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:31,000 Well you know Lindsey a little more truth and poetry on a day like this about them Rheingold. 1023 01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:36,000 Temperature out here 94 degrees. It's real Rheingold weather. 1024 01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:42,000 Now coming in the ballgame for the Chicago Cubs in place Bob Buell as Don Elston. 1025 01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:51,000 Buell going out to the clubhouse and center field. He has worked six innings and right now he's the pitcher record on the winning side. 1026 01:55:51,000 --> 01:56:00,000 Bob has given up three runs while allowing five hits. He struck out one and walked one in his six inning tenure. 1027 01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:08,000 Ernie Banks in the game in place of Leo Burke who was ejected from the game Ernie playing at first base. 1028 01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:16,000 For the Mets it will be Tim Harkness, Charlie Neal and Chico Fernandez against the right hander Don Elston. 1029 01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:37,000 This is Don's 25th appearance. He has appeared in all of his games in relief his record three and one. 1030 01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:43,000 In the batting order Ernie Banks will bat in the ninth position. Elston will bat in the fifth position. 1031 01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:49,000 That way Bob Kennedy will be able to use Banks as the third hitter in the inning coming up in the eighth. 1032 01:56:49,000 --> 01:57:03,000 Right now we're all set to go as Don Elston throws his first pitch to Tim Harkness that's inside for ball one. 1033 01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:07,000 Elston now back to the play with a change up. It's fall down to first base but foul. 1034 01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:14,000 Ernie Banks comes up with the ball moves toward first but first base umpire Ed Sudol gave the signal it was foul. 1035 01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:31,000 One ball one strike. 1036 01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:37,000 One ball one strike. Don Elston in place of Bob Buell. 1037 01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:45,000 And a change up is high for ball two. In the ball pen for the Chicago Cubs. 1038 01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:51,000 Jack Warner warming up. He's been throwing for quite some time and Dick LeMay also throwing. 1039 01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:57,000 LeMay a left hander, Warner a right hander. For the Mets Tracy Stallard throwing. 1040 01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:10,000 Now the 2-1 pitch hit the left field. Kelly Williams puts the glasses down, moves to his left, halts and makes the catch. 1041 01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:16,000 And with one out the batter will be Charlie Neal. 1042 01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:23,000 Charlie is all for two in the game. 1043 01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:29,000 He hit into a fourth play in the second inning then grounded out the short in the fifth. 1044 01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:38,000 Charlie a right hand batter batting 2-31. Mets trail by one run and the first pitch is hit to left field high in the air. 1045 01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:45,000 Williams moving over back of the facade and he makes the catch and just caught the ball before he lost it in the sun. 1046 01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:51,000 Williams losing the ball in the sun and at the last minute he caught the ball as he fell away from it. 1047 01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:59,000 And he caught it by the wall. That ball couldn't have missed the facade of the upper deck by more than just a fraction of an inch or two. 1048 01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:03,000 Charlie Neal just missing a home run. 1049 01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:09,000 Now the batter will be Chico Fernandez batting for the first time. Chico batting 2-11 in the ball game in place of Al Moran. 1050 01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:18,000 He has one home run and five runs batted in. 1051 01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:29,000 Cubs have four runs on seven hits. The Mets have three runs and five hits. 1052 01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:40,000 And the first pitch to Chico is a called strike in the outside corner. 1053 01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:49,000 Payed attendance right here today 8,183. There's a curve in the dirt that gets by the catcher. One ball, one strike. 1054 01:59:49,000 --> 02:00:02,000 Along with the service and working press of 889 and 9,000 midget Mets, the total attendance 18,072. 1055 02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:11,000 And the pitch back to Fernandez swung on a miss for strike two. 1056 02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:24,000 Mets now have drawn a total of 543,064 paid here in the ballpark in 33 openings. 1057 02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:32,000 One ball, two strikes. Don Elston and Chico Fernandez and a fastball is looked at called strike three to retire the side. 1058 02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:38,000 So Don Elston in his first inning works perfectly. One, two, three. And the score at the end of seven innings of play. 1059 02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:42,000 The Cubs four, the New York Mets three. 1060 02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:49,000 This is the only game being played in the daylight. All the other games in the Major League scheduled at night. 1061 02:00:49,000 --> 02:00:57,000 Philadelphia will play Pittsburgh in a night game and Pittsburgh will open up here in the Polar Grounds when the Mets return home from the very brief road trip. 1062 02:00:57,000 --> 02:01:04,000 Mets will play Philadelphia on July 5th, a day game. That's Friday afternoon, game time at two o'clock. 1063 02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:12,000 Philadelphia I should say Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh will be here on Friday, July 5th. Saturday night, July 6th. 1064 02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:15,000 And they'll play a single game on Sunday, July 7th. 1065 02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:22,000 San Francisco scheduled at St. Louis, Los Angeles at Cincinnati, Houston at Milwaukee to complete the National League schedule. 1066 02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:30,000 In the American League the Yankees play the Chicago White Sox in the night game, Cleveland at Boston, Washington at Kansas City, Detroit at Minnesota, 1067 02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:38,000 and Baltimore will play a Twy Niner at Los Angeles.

He is two for three in this ball game this afternoon. 1076 02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:35,000 Larry Benarth into the motion and the pitch is in there for a called strike. 1077 02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:45,000 Ralph Kiner told you that Charlie Neal missed a home run by inches with a high fly ball to the left that Billy Williams actually lost in the sun at the last moment. 1078 02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:50,000 Pitch to Bertell and he tries to bun it, calls it off instead. 1079 02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:57,000 Two strike count. When Williams came in, both Tom Gorman and Stan Landis, the umpire is working today, 1080 02:02:57,000 --> 02:03:04,000 and Billy Williams to ask him about that and Williams indicated to him that as it came down he lost it in the sun. 1081 02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:13,000 And he also indicated, kindly tell him that it missed just by inches of hitting the overhanging upper deck and if it does touch it's a home run. 1082 02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:22,000 Here's a swing and a gone ball to three. Charlie Neal on a big hop up with it, plays it on across over the heart and it's in time and he's out. 1083 02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:27,000 One away and Nelson Matthews is coming up. He's a center fielder. He's been up three times today without a hit. 1084 02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:31,000 The Cubs are leading here by a score of four to three. 1085 02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:45,000 Nelson Matthews, a young man who broke in last September with a grand slam home run at that time on behalf of the Cubs. 1086 02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:54,000 This year he had four homers and ten runs right of down. Here's a swing and a high pop to the right side. Second baseman Ron Hutt is waiting. 1087 02:03:54,000 --> 02:04:03,000 He makes the cut. He was shading his eyes from the sun. With the gloves on, two away, Ernie Banks coming up. Banks batting number nine. 1088 02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:06,000 And here's Coach Bob Kennedy's batting order. 1089 02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:15,000 This is the first time up for Banks. He is batting through 42 with 15 homers and 42 runs batted in. 1090 02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:32,000 Benares works the pitch. A little number back to the mound off the end of the bat. It's taken by Benares. He lobs over to Harkness. 1091 02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:39,000 And Benares again as he ties the side in order. In the top of the eighth, the Cubs got no runs on no hitters and none left. 1092 02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:48,000 The end of seven and a half innings, it's the Cubs four, the Mets three. And now a word from Cool Cigarettes. 1093 02:04:48,000 --> 02:05:00,000 If your cigarette tastes hot, if your cigarette tastes dry, you're not smoking cool enough. And here is the reason why. 1094 02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:11,000 Your cigarette's not tasting cool enough, unless you're smoking cool. You're not smoking cool enough, till you come up too cool. 1095 02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:22,000 Cool's mental magic brightens taste, refreshing all day through. Feel extra coolness in your throat, as cool comes through for you. 1096 02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:33,000 You're not smoking cool enough, till you come up too cool. 1097 02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:45,000 Enjoy the extra coolness you feel in your throat when you smoke cool. Enjoy that bright, clear taste all day long. 1098 02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:53,000 Come up too cool with the Pure White Filter, or cool without filter. 1099 02:05:53,000 --> 02:05:59,000 Going to the bottom of the eighth, the Mets still trail by one run. So manager Casey Singel is making a move. 1100 02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:03,000 He is sending up Choo Choo Coleman to bat for Larry Benares. 1101 02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:06,000 Man working in the bullpen right now is Tracy Stallard. 1102 02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:12,000 As Casey's got to go to the bench, try to get a little punch here to get something started, because the Mets still trail by one. 1103 02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:19,000 It's been spectacular and relief. He has faced only six men and he has retired the sixth in a row. 1104 02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:25,000 But he is out of the ballgame now and Choo Choo Coleman is the batter. 1105 02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:33,000 Don Elston with the pitch and it's outside to Chooch for a ball one. 1106 02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:39,000 The crowd is trying to lend a little support with a chant of, Let's Go Mets. 1107 02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:44,000 Don Elston working in relief for Bob Buell. 1108 02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:50,000 It's just by and high for the ball. It's 2-0. Buell worked six innings, which he allowed three runs on five hits. 1109 02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:57,000 He struck out one and he walked one. 1110 02:06:57,000 --> 02:07:00,000 Jim Hickman is on deck for the Mets. 1111 02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:07,000 Here's Elston's 2-0 offering. That ball is going away for the ball and it's 3-0. 1112 02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:13,000 Coleman looks down now to Cookie Lavagetto, the coach at theory base. 1113 02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:18,000 Define that, find out what he does on 3-0. 1114 02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:27,000 And the pitch is in there for a call start. He was taking all the way at 3-1. 1115 02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:37,000 Coleman again looks down. Get his time from Lavagetto. 1116 02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:40,000 Elston starts the motion. 1117 02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:44,000 Playing a ground ball foul down past Palihanos, the coach at first. 1118 02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:56,000 It's a full count now to Choo Choo Coleman with the Mets batting in the bottom half of the eighth inning. 1119 02:07:56,000 --> 02:08:03,000 After having been four runs back, the Mets came on to get three in the bottom of the sixth to get right back in the ballgame. 1120 02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:12,000 Here is a playoff pitch. It is tightly locked in for ball four. 1121 02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:19,000 Bob Buell walked only one during his time in the ballgame and this is the first walk issued by Don Elston. 1122 02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:23,000 Jim Hickman is coming up and our any backs comes over to check with Elston. 1123 02:08:23,000 --> 02:08:29,000 Taking over to Ron Santo as the Cubs must protect against the possibility of a sacrifice in this situation. 1124 02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:35,000 The Mets are only one run back. Jim Hickman looking down to cookie Lavagetto. 1125 02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:45,000 Coleman on the bases at good speed. 1126 02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:51,000 Hickman settles himself into the batter's box. 1127 02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:55,000 Elston comes back, here's the pitch and it's in there for a call strike. 1128 02:08:55,000 --> 02:09:08,000 He was not square at the butt. At first base Ernie Bikes was charging defensively. 1129 02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:16,000 Hickman looks down to cookie again. 1130 02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:24,000 Coleman takes his lead at first base. It's a pitch out. Jim Hickman was square at the butt. 1131 02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:38,000 And a pitch out. It's one and one. 1132 02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:47,000 Elston is up and set. Steps off the rubber. Ernie Bikes has moved a couple of steps in. 1133 02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:54,000 Coleman has taken a lead. Elston starts all over. He's up and set. 1134 02:09:54,000 --> 02:09:59,000 Goes over, not in time as 2-2 Coleman gets back safely. 1135 02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:07,000 The count to Hickman at the plate is one ball and one strike. 1136 02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:12,000 Lavagetto is looking into the dugout to get Casey Singelstein. 1137 02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:27,000 Now he has it and he's relaying it on to Jim Hickman. 1138 02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:32,000 And the pitch. It's low for ball. He was not square at the butt. 1139 02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:37,000 And here's a throw to first and Coleman is back safely, plotting it on a close play. 1140 02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:41,000 And right now we call for station identification. 1141 02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:46,000 Eight 10 inches out, WG Wise connected A New York. Now four minutes past four o'clock. 1142 02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:54,000 Our temperature 89 degrees. 1143 02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:59,000 This is Lindsey Nelson with Ralph Kiner and Bob Murphy at the Polo Grounds in New York. 1144 02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:04,000 2-2 Coleman almost hung up down at first. Had to slide back in. Hickman waits for the 2-1 pitch. 1145 02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:18,000 Coleman's running here just swinging a foul ball back and not a play. Runs the count to 2-2. 1146 02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:30,000 And 2-2 Coleman moving on the pitch. 1147 02:11:30,000 --> 02:11:36,000 The official temperature is now 95 degrees in New York. 1148 02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:42,000 He's running again here to swing a foul ball. He dug off a couple of steps and then held up actually. 1149 02:11:42,000 --> 02:11:49,000 He dug off the start as Hickman drilled a foul on the ground down past if you'll allow the coach to steer. 1150 02:11:49,000 --> 02:12:00,000 2-2 the count to Jim Hickman. Nobody out. 1151 02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:05,000 Coleman takes his lead, Banks holding him on. 1152 02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:09,000 Breaking ball, come on and popped up to the right side. Ernie Banks sealed the bag weight. 1153 02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:16,000 Nice to catch. Coleman standing on the bag at first base. So Hickman has popped out. 1154 02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:30,000 That brings up Ron Hutz, one man out in the run at first. The Cubs leading here by a score of 4-3. 1155 02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:42,000 Ron Hutz, single down the bottom of the sixth and scored the first net run of the day. 1156 02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:52,000 With the night out of the long game, Tracy Stallard continues to throw in the net both ends. 1157 02:12:52,000 --> 02:13:01,000 First pitch out. Ball on to Ron Hutz. Nothing was on. 1158 02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:08,000 I was thinking that Tracy Dess might be playing hit and run on the first pitch. 1159 02:13:08,000 --> 02:13:15,000 That's looking down to allow the gutter. 1160 02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:22,000 The Cubs are waiting. Coleman leads. 1161 02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:25,000 That pitch is in there for a call strike. Coleman again is left to charge. 1162 02:13:25,000 --> 02:13:28,000 Does hook up the steps and held up. 1163 02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:37,000 One and one to Ron Hutz. 1164 02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:40,000 The Cubs four and the Mets three. 1165 02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:50,000 Trying to push through to Coleman long here in the bottom half of the eighth inning. 1166 02:13:50,000 --> 02:14:00,000 Jendon Elston with the pitch. It's outside for ball and it's two and one. 1167 02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:13,000 Duke Snyder is kneeling on deck for the Mets. 1168 02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:26,000 That's getting settled back in the batter's box. 1169 02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:30,000 Coleman leads off the bag at first. 1170 02:14:30,000 --> 02:14:32,000 Here's a throw over. Coleman gets back to the base. 1171 02:14:32,000 --> 02:14:53,000 The only backspin in the bag there. 1172 02:14:53,000 --> 02:15:01,000 Come on, that comes back in. 1173 02:15:01,000 --> 02:15:15,000 That pitch misses outside. Three balls, one strike now. 1174 02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:27,000 That's a nice one. 1175 02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:32,000 Jendon Elston has the sign. Coleman leads. 1176 02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:35,000 Coleman's running in here to swing the foul ball back in out of play. 1177 02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:37,000 Playing hit and run on the three-one pitch. 1178 02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:45,000 The bank shoots you back. 1179 02:15:45,000 --> 02:16:08,000 That's a nice one. That's a nice one. 1180 02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:28,000 Throw over to first, a leisurely toss, not in time. 1181 02:16:28,000 --> 02:16:32,000 Jendon Elston sets the work. 1182 02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:35,000 Throw's over. Coleman gets back safely. 1183 02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:41,000 Trying to keep a short hold on Coleman, figuring that he might be running on the three-two pitch one man out. 1184 02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:45,000 Out of the three-two pitch and it's a swinging and a foul tip back into the global brace. 1185 02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:47,000 At least one time. 1186 02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:59,000 Ron Hutt is a strikeout victim two away and Duke Snyder's coming up. 1187 02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:05,000 Bob Kennedy has come out of the dugout and is coming out to the mound now. 1188 02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:09,000 He has got left-hander Dick LeMay warming up out there. 1189 02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:14,000 Recently recalled from Atlanta. 1190 02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:20,000 And Kennedy is going to make a pitching change here of some kind. 1191 02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:23,000 There's to be a right-hander who's bringing in here. 1192 02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:32,000 LeMay remains in the bullpen and it's Lindy McDonough who is walking it. 1193 02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:40,000 The Cubs are leading by a score of four to three. 1194 02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:49,000 As two-two Coleman was moved from first to second on the bat. 1195 02:17:49,000 --> 02:18:06,000 Now they're leaning on the bat outside the batting box as Lindy McDonough warms up. 1196 02:18:06,000 --> 02:18:11,000 McDonough and Mary Jackson came to the Tidewell Cubs from the St. Louis Tidenote. 1197 02:18:11,000 --> 02:18:17,000 In exchange for George Altman and Don Tidewell and then Tidewell and Enfield and Julio Gochao 1198 02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:21,000 promptly traded over to the Pittsburgh Pirates and exchanged the dugout big growth. 1199 02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:25,000 McDonough is making his twenty-third appearance out of this season. 1200 02:18:25,000 --> 02:18:29,000 And in relief he has a record of four victories and two losses. 1201 02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:38,000 One time out he takes one inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates which he allowed no runs on no hits. 1202 02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:47,000 Duke Snyder, a left-hand batter, giving in. 1203 02:18:47,000 --> 02:18:52,000 So for the Mets it's up to the Dukes. 1204 02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:55,000 That's Richard's outside for a ball. 1205 02:18:55,000 --> 02:19:01,000 By the double, the driver and the first-net gun, and the bottom-hander, the first inning. 1206 02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:04,000 The slam won by Leo Burke, first baseman. 1207 02:19:04,000 --> 02:19:09,000 Hard smash, long ball. That continued on down to the right field corner. 1208 02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:14,000 And now it's the fourth and first base. 1209 02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:17,000 Daniel is set. Coleman leads it second. 1210 02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:27,000 Takes his local ball.

It is now three balls and no strikes. 1215 02:19:44,000 --> 02:19:53,000 To Snyder. 1216 02:19:53,000 --> 02:19:56,000 Duke back in and waiting. 1217 02:19:56,000 --> 02:20:00,000 And then takes his lead at second base. 1218 02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:03,000 This is a 3-0 fish. 1219 02:20:03,000 --> 02:20:10,000 It's outside and Snyder has gone off with Mike Thomas coming up now. 1220 02:20:10,000 --> 02:20:16,000 McDaniel is working very carefully with Duke Snyder. 1221 02:20:16,000 --> 02:20:27,000 Mike Thomas is first now and Coleman is second with Thomas coming around to step in. 1222 02:20:27,000 --> 02:20:30,000 That's only the third walk that the Mets have drawn today. 1223 02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:40,000 Buell walked one, Elston walked one, now McDaniel has walked one. 1224 02:20:40,000 --> 02:20:47,000 Thomas is single, slide to left and Homer's. 1225 02:20:47,000 --> 02:20:51,000 McDaniel is set. 1226 02:20:51,000 --> 02:21:01,000 It's one-on in this. Thomas trying to hold up but it goes inside wide. 1227 02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:13,000 Choo-choo Coleman, the base runner at second, Duke Snyder the base runner at first. 1228 02:21:13,000 -->

against Don Elston. 1236 02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:08,000 So now the Mets have runners at first and second still. 1237 02:22:08,000 --> 02:22:16,000 Two men out and Sammy Taylor is the batter. 1238 02:22:16,000 --> 02:22:20,000 Runners lead again at first and second. 1239 02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:28,000 It's just low for ball one to Sammy Taylor. 1240 02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:31,000 Sammy has nothing for three today. 1241 02:22:31,000 --> 02:22:36,000 Although in the sixth inning he feed off on one to deep right field. 1242 02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:43,000 Out in the bullpen area where the catch was made by Ellis Burton. 1243 02:22:43,000 --> 02:22:51,000 Inside the Cubs four to the Mets four. 1244 02:22:51,000 --> 02:23:03,000 It's just low for ball. 1245 02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:06,000 The big batter hanging over the upper deck. 1246 02:23:06,000 --> 02:23:11,000 The Cubs die. 1247 02:23:11,000 --> 02:23:13,000 Here's a 2-0 pitch. 1248 02:23:13,000 --> 02:23:16,000 A little number off the plate to the right side of foul ball. 1249 02:23:16,000 --> 02:23:19,000 It's out of play. 1250 02:23:19,000 --> 02:23:31,000 And there's a little, actually a teddy bear that is being used to simulate a Cub hanging now over the batter. 1251 02:23:31,000 --> 02:23:38,000 I tell you the Mets fans are coming well equipped these days. 1252 02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:44,000 They're cheating somebody's teddy bear gone out to the ballpark for the afternoon. 1253 02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:46,000 Two and one is the count. 1254 02:23:46,000 --> 02:23:53,000 But Sam Taylor is the plate. 1255

02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:24,000 Now settles himself back in. 1263 02:24:24,000 --> 02:24:26,000 Runners lead. 1264 02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:28,000 2-2 pitch. 1265 02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:29,000 And foul ball. 1266 02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:44,000 You've got a little piece of it to stay alive. 1267 02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:46,000 Gifts the Mets. 1268 02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:47,000 Thanks for another run here. 1269 02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:58,000 Lara Benares will be the benefactor. 1270 02:24:58,000 --> 02:25:01,000 McDaniel with the 2-2 pitch. 1271 02:25:01,000 --> 02:25:02,000 Flung on and missed. 1272 02:25:02,000 --> 02:25:03,000 Strike three. 1273 02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:04,000 Struck him out. 1274 02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:05,000 So Taylor is out swinging. 1275 02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:06,000 And the side is retired. 1276 02:25:06,000 --> 02:25:07,000 And the bottom of the eighth. 1277 02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:08,000 The Mets got one run on one hit. 1278 02:25:08,000 --> 02:25:09,000 No errors and two left. 1279 02:25:09,000 --> 02:25:10,000 And at the end of eighth it is the Cubs four. 1280 02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:26,000 We have a lot of big days and nights coming up at the Polo ground. 1281 02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:31,000 And after the All-Star break the Los Angeles Dodgers will be coming in. 1282 02:25:31,000 --> 02:25:33,000 They'll be on Wednesday night, July 10th. 1283 02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:37,000 And we call that day to your particular attention because that is a make-up game. 1284 02:25:37,000 --> 02:25:41,000 It was not on the original schedule. 1285 02:25:41,000 --> 02:25:45,000 It's the make-up of a game that was rained out earlier this season. 1286 02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:47,000 So on Wednesday night, July 10th, the Dodgers. 1287 02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:49,000 On Thursday night, July 11th, the Dodgers. 1288 02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:52,000 On Friday night, July 12th, the Dodgers. 1289 02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:55,000 And on Saturday afternoon, July 13th, the Dodgers again. 1290 02:25:55,000 --> 02:26:01,000 And that will be ladies' day and it will also be family day. 1291 02:26:01,000 --> 02:26:05,000 And we'll have a two-inning father and son game on family day. 1292 02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:09,000 And we'll be competing the regular schedule game. 1293 02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:12,000 The youngsters will be playing their dads will be wearing med uniforms 1294 02:26:12,000 --> 02:26:14,000 with the same number as their dads. 1295 02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:17,000 Taking five will be Reggie Jackson. 1296 02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:19,000 You remember Reggie last year. 1297 02:26:19,000 --> 02:26:22,000 He was one of the big stars of the ball game, Al Jackson's son. 1298 02:26:22,000 --> 02:26:25,000 Mike and Peter Thomas will be on end. 1299 02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:27,000 Devin and Kurt Schneider. 1300 02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:28,000 Mike and Scott Keiner. 1301 02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:30,000 Brian Murphy. 1302 02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:31,000 Richie Willie. 1303 02:26:31,000 --> 02:26:32,000 Wes Hook. 1304 02:26:32,000 --> 02:26:34,000 Many others. 1305 02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:37,000 I would advise you to get tickets early for that series. 1306 02:26:37,000 --> 02:26:40,000 The Met ticket office is open now, of course. 1307 02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:43,000 The ticket office here at the Polo Grounds on the 8th Avenue side, 1308 02:26:43,000 --> 02:26:46,000 please note, is open seven days a week. 1309 02:26:46,000 --> 02:26:48,000 Open six days a week. 1310 02:26:48,000 --> 02:26:51,000 The Met ticket offices at Grand Central Station and Pennsylvania Station. 1311 02:26:51,000 --> 02:26:55,000 At Pennsylvania Station, the Met ticket office is in the Long Island waiting room 1312 02:26:55,000 --> 02:26:58,000 and at Grand Central at the foot of the Vanderval Avenue ramp. 1313 02:26:58,000 --> 02:27:00,000 You can order tickets by mail. 1314 02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:03,000 The address is Ticket Manager Polo Grounds, New York, 39 New York. 1315 02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:10,000 Or you can make ticket reservations at any of the Howard Polo stores in the greater New York area. 1316 02:27:10,000 --> 02:27:15,000 Tracy Stalart is coming to the ball again now to pitch for the New York Met. 1317 02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:20,000 Stalart will be committed on the field at the end of the game. 1318 02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:24,000 One for the players and three for the ball players. 1319 02:27:24,000 --> 02:27:30,000 Stalart is making his 19th appearance of this season. 1320 02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:36,000 He has not been in a relief appearance since the 26th day of May at St. Louis 1321 02:27:36,000 --> 02:27:40,000 when he worked his third of an inning and allowed no runs on no hits. 1322 02:27:40,000 --> 02:27:46,000 Since then, Stalart has been a starter and he has reckoned for the season three victories and four losses. 1323 02:27:46,000 --> 02:27:50,000 But he's back in relief here as the Mets tied it up 4-4. 1324 02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:52,000 Here is the pitch to Ellis Burton. 1325 02:27:52,000 --> 02:27:55,000 It is low for ball. Burton, the switch, is around batting left again now 1326 02:27:55,000 --> 02:27:58,000 with the right-hander in there for the Mets. 1327 02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:13,000 They see again, works the pitch and it's inside. 1328 02:28:13,000 --> 02:28:18,000 A little low and it's 2-0. 1329 02:28:18,000 --> 02:28:21,000 Carl Willie was sent down to the bullpen area. 1330 02:28:21,000 --> 02:28:26,000 He is not throwing but he is down there. 1331 02:28:26,000 --> 02:28:29,000 As the Mets score the run in the bottom of the eighth to full even. 1332 02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:35,000 The Cubs led 4-0 in this ball game at one point. 1333 02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:44,000 The pitch is low and it's not the three balls and no strikes. 1334 02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:53,000 To Ellis Burton batting here in the top half of the ninth. 1335 02:28:53,000 --> 02:28:57,000 They're holding the defense over toward right. 1336 02:28:57,000 --> 02:29:06,000 That's tied away, ball four and Ellis Burton has been walked on to open up the top of the ninth for the Cubs. 1337 02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:09,000 And that will bring up Andre Rogers. 1338 02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:16,000 The Mets move over to have a word with Stalart as they must now prepare to play. 1339 02:29:16,000 --> 02:29:19,000 The possibility of the bat here. 1340 02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:30,000 Carl Willie is now up and throwing in the Met bullpen along with Ken McKenzie. 1341 02:29:30,000 --> 02:29:35,000 Stacey Stalart massages the baseball a little bit. 1342 02:29:35,000 --> 02:29:39,000 Rogers bats number two in the Cub batting order. 1343 02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:41,000 Charlie Neal is on the edge of the grass at third. 1344 02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:42,000 Burton moves off now. 1345 02:29:42,000 --> 02:29:43,000 Here's the pitch. 1346 02:29:43,000 --> 02:29:45,000 Rogers bumps it down the first-place line. 1347 02:29:45,000 --> 02:29:49,000 Taken by Harkness, he plays the hut covering it first in time. 1348 02:29:49,000 --> 02:29:58,000 The toucher fight has been executed by Rogers and the play goes three to four if you're scoring, moving Ellis Burton to second base. 1349 02:29:58,000 --> 02:30:00,000 Now Billy Williams is coming up. 1350 02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:03,000 Nothing for four today. 1351 02:30:03,000 --> 02:30:23,000 Sammy Taylor out checking with Tracy Stalart. 1352 02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:34,000 That's four on the Cubs' four. 1353 02:30:34,000 --> 02:30:37,000 Stalart is up and set. 1354 02:30:37,000 --> 02:31:00,000 Pitch is way on the way. It rolls away from Taylor. He recovers. There's no advance by Ellis Burton at second. 1355 02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:12,000 Williams at the plate has an up-to-the-minute batting average of three oh six. 1356 02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:38,000 Stalart's pitch, fastball low, and it's two and oh now to Williams. 1357 02:31:38,000 --> 02:31:50,000 Stalart's getting his sign again. 1358 02:31:50,000 --> 02:31:51,000 Here's the pitch. 1359 02:31:51,000 --> 02:31:58,000 Come on in as the fly ball leaps to center. Jim Hickman ranging back. He's there now. Burton is tagged at second. 1360 02:31:58,000 --> 02:32:02,000 Hickman makes the catch and Burton tags and moves on to third. 1361 02:32:02,000 --> 02:32:04,000 Two men out. 1362 02:32:04,000 --> 02:32:09,000 That will bring up clean up out of Ron Santo. 1363 02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:15,000 One for four. 1364 02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:19,000 Following Santo in the cup batting order, here's the pitcher. 1365 02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:24,000 You'll recall that Ernie Banks bats ninth in the batting order. 1366 02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:34,000 Lindy McDaniel is two up next. 1367 02:32:34,000 --> 02:32:39,000 Manager Casey Singel now is coming out to the mound. 1368 02:32:39,000 --> 02:32:46,000 Tammy Taylor starts walking out toward the mound. Time is gone. 1369 02:32:46,000 --> 02:32:53,000 The old professor with his lineup cards in his hand. 1370 02:32:53,000 --> 02:32:58,000 He has Willie and McKenzie in the bullpen. 1371 02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:18,000 You want to talk to Taylor and Stalart. 1372 02:33:18,000 --> 02:33:25,000 Now Stan Landis moves out to join the conference. Casey Singel is leaving Stalart in the ballgame and safe. 1373 02:33:25,000 --> 02:33:32,000 Right now why not open up or order up a cold glass of Rhine Gold Extra Dry. It's beer as beer should taste. 1374 02:33:32,000 --> 02:33:41,000 As Casey heads back for the dugout in order to allow our stations to identify themselves, we fought for station identification. 1375 02:33:41,000 --> 02:33:51,000 This is WGY Schenectady 810 on your dial. The time is now 28 minutes past 4 p.m. 1376 02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:57,000 With Ralph Cannon and Bob Murphy and now Ron Santo is going to be intentionally walked I believe. 1377 02:33:57,000 --> 02:34:03,000 The result of the conference with pitcher Lindy McDaniel drew up next. 1378 02:34:03,000 --> 02:34:08,000 Ellis Burton had third base. 1379 02:34:08,000 --> 02:34:14,000 Now Sammy Taylor apparently is not sure. He had pointed on the first now he looks into the dugout. 1380 02:34:14,000 --> 02:34:17,000 And now he is going to be intentionally walked. 1381 02:34:17,000 --> 02:34:25,000 As ball one outside, Ron Santo is being intentionally walked with the pitcher Lindy McDaniel drew up here next. 1382 02:34:25,000 --> 02:34:33,000 So let's see what kind of a move Ed George Bob Kennedy will make. 1383 02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:40,000 As ball three outside, Merritt Renew is coming in from the bullpen area. He's left hand battered. 1384 02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:44,000 Now as ball four outside, so Santo goes to first base. 1385 02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:50,000 He is not the man they're worried about. They're worried about Ellis Burton who's over there on third with two men out. 1386 02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:55,000 Lindy McDaniel drew up. 1387 02:34:55,000 --> 02:35:10,000 Renew drops the jacket and the glove and reaches for the bat. So Merritt Renew is going to bat for Lindy McDaniel. 1388 02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:19,000 Dick LeMay is the left hander throwing in the bullpen for the Chicago Cubs. 1389 02:35:19,000 --> 02:35:33,000 Merritt Renew is batting 463. It's been a 41-times-in-19 hit. 1390 02:35:33,000 --> 02:35:42,000 Renew has two home runs and eight runs battered in. He came to the Chicago Cubs from the Houston Colt 45. 1391 02:35:42,000 --> 02:36:02,000 Tracy Salad continues to stay warm by firing in the tosses to Tammy Taylor. 1392 02:36:02,000 --> 02:36:08,000 Carl Willie and Ken McKenzie continue to throw in the bullpen for the Mets. 1393 02:36:08,000 --> 02:36:23,000 Earlier this year, Merritt Renew had a fractured jaw. 1394 02:36:23,000 --> 02:36:35,000 He steps into the batter's box. Tracy Salad, rubbing up a ball, goes to the Rodden bag. 1395 02:36:35,000 --> 02:36:39,000 It's the Cubs four and the Mets four with the Cubs batting in the top half of the ninth inning. 1396 02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:46,000 Runners at first and third, two men out. 1397 02:36:46,000 --> 02:37:07,000 Here's the pitch and it's low for ball one. Time to breaking ball. 1398 02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:19,000 Salad working deliberately. Runners leading first and third, pitch is swung on and foul. Back onto the screen and out of play. 1399 02:37:19,000 --> 02:37:29,000 One and one to count. 1400 02:37:29,000 --> 02:37:37,000 When New York Mets battle back on the bottom of the eighth, it tires this game. Right now Fernandez is coming in to have a word with Salad. 1401 02:37:37,000 --> 02:37:45,000 And they're trying to put down a curve uprising here in the top of the ninth so they can have another shot in the bottom of the ninth. 1402 02:37:45,000 --> 02:37:51,000 That's trying to pull out a game in which they trail at one point by a score of four to nothing. 1403 02:37:51,000 --> 02:37:59,000 One-one pitch, mix is high and it's two balls and one strike. 1404 02:37:59,000 --> 02:38:09,000 To a merit renew. 1405 02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:18,000 Ken Hubs is due up next for the Cubs. 1406 02:38:18,000 --> 02:38:24,000 The ball is off-ranks. Breaking ball is thrown up at the ground ball. Taken by Harkness, he'll have to play to Salad. He does in time and he's out. 1407 02:38:24,000 --> 02:38:30,000 Lacey Salad covering it first as Harkness went to his right to glove the ball. 1408 02:38:30,000 --> 02:38:39,000 And in the top of the ninth, the Cubs got no runs. No hits. No errors. Two left and it's the end of eight and a half innings of play. 1409 02:38:39,000 --> 02:38:44,000 It's the Mets four and the Cubs four. 1410 02:38:44,000 --> 02:38:50,000 Well, you heard us say it's beer as beer should say. Think of that for a minute. 1411 02:38:50,000 --> 02:38:52,000 Isn't that what you want in a beer? 1412 02:38:52,000 --> 02:38:59,000 But you want a beer that's refreshingly dry to the taste with a flavor that's brisk and bright and clean clear through? 1413 02:38:59,000 --> 02:39:05,000 Well, that is Reingold. Reingold is brewed to be just that. 1414 02:39:05,000 --> 02:39:10,000 Brewed of the choicest ingredient, brewed the long, slow, costly away. 1415 02:39:10,000 --> 02:39:15,000 Reingold is everything you look for in beer. And dry tells you why. 1416 02:39:15,000 --> 02:39:20,000 Yes, extra dry means Reingold's a better beer. It's a wonderful beer. 1417 02:39:20,000 --> 02:39:24,000 And extra dry means Reingold beer is more refreshing. 1418 02:39:24,000 --> 02:39:27,000 And the more refreshing a beer is, the more you're going to enjoy it. 1419 02:39:27,000 --> 02:39:31,000 So enjoy fine, cold Reingold beer. 1420 02:39:31,000 --> 02:39:43,000 It's a million to have made Reingold New York's largest selling beer. 1421 02:39:43,000 --> 02:39:48,000 For the Chicago Cubs, Dick LeMare is coming in to do the pitching. 1422 02:39:48,000 --> 02:39:56,000 He was recalled by the Cubs from Atlanta where he had won three and lost three. 1423 02:39:56,000 --> 02:40:00,000 He had an earned run average of 2.22. 1424 02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:04,000 This is his second relief appearance. He made an appearance on the 22nd of April 1425 02:40:04,000 --> 02:40:08,000 before he went out at Pittsburgh, which he pitched one in the third inning 1426 02:40:08,000 --> 02:40:10,000 until he allowed no runs on two hits. 1427 02:40:10,000 --> 02:40:13,000 So this is his first appearance since he came back. 1428 02:40:13,000 --> 02:40:16,000 Dick LeMare is a left-hander. 1429 02:40:16,000 --> 02:40:24,000 It was something of a sensation when he originally came up with the San Francisco Giants. 1430 02:40:24,000 --> 02:40:28,000 And the New York Mets here in the bottom half of the ninth inning 1431 02:40:28,000 --> 02:40:33,000 will be sending up Tim Harkness to face the left-hander. 1432 02:40:33,000 --> 02:40:37,000 Through eight and a half innings, the Mets have four runs on six hits. 1433 02:40:37,000 --> 02:40:43,000 The Cubs have four runs on seven hits. 1434 02:40:43,000 --> 02:40:47,000 LeMare was traded from the Giants to the Cubs over the winter 1435 02:40:47,000 --> 02:40:53,000 and then from the Cubs on the Cubs during the spring training period. 1436 02:40:53,000 --> 02:41:00,000 Tim Harkness is one for three this afternoon. 1437 02:41:00,000 --> 02:41:02,000 He is in and waiting. 1438 02:41:02,000 --> 02:41:10,000 Bottom half of the ninth inning, score inside. 1439 02:41:10,000 --> 02:41:13,000 LeMare into the full windup and the pitch. 1440 02:41:13,000 --> 02:41:16,000 It's low for a ball. 1441 02:41:16,000 --> 02:41:21,000 It's sort of a whirlwind delivery as with a lot of arms, a lot of legs, 1442 02:41:21,000 --> 02:41:23,000 a lot of feet and a knee or two. 1443 02:41:23,000 --> 02:41:24,000 Here's the pitch. 1444 02:41:24,000 --> 02:41:25,000 It's inside for a ball. 1445 02:41:25,000 --> 02:41:34,000 It's 2-0. 1446 02:41:34,000 --> 02:41:38,000 Charlie Neal is on deck for the Mets. 1447 02:41:38,000 --> 02:41:50,000 That pitch is low and it's out to three and on out of Tim Harkness. 1448 02:41:50,000 --> 02:41:54,000 Nick LeMare delivers something like a deck chair unfolding. 1449 02:41:54,000 --> 02:41:57,000 Here's the pitch and it's a called strike, 3-1. 1450 02:41:57,000 --> 02:42:00,000 Harkness tried to bluff his way down to first. 1451 02:42:00,000 --> 02:42:07,000 Three balls and one strike. 1452 02:42:07,000 --> 02:42:10,000 Jack Warner is up and throwing again to call Bill Ben. 1453 02:42:10,000 --> 02:42:12,000 Here's the pitch in there for a called strike, too, 1454 02:42:12,000 --> 02:42:18,000 and it's a full count now to Harkness. 1455 02:42:18,000 --> 02:42:22,000 So now we've come to the playoff pitch time. 1456 02:42:22,000 --> 02:42:23,000 It's on the way. 1457 02:42:23,000 --> 02:42:25,000 Point on and there's a looper in the center field 1458 02:42:25,000 --> 02:42:30,000 and right there is Nelson Matthews to make the catch. 1459 02:42:30,000 --> 02:42:32,000 Harkness goes out to center. 1460 02:42:32,000 --> 02:42:34,000 There's one away and Charlie Neal is coming up. 1461 02:42:34,000 --> 02:42:37,000 Charlie Neal who missed a home run by inches. 1462 02:42:37,000 --> 02:42:47,000 Celeste Hill in the bottom half of the seventh. 1463 02:42:47,000 --> 02:42:54,000 Score tied 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth. 1464 02:42:54,000 --> 02:42:58,000 That's trying to pull this one out here to get an even break in the two-game series. 1465 02:42:58,000 --> 02:43:01,000 May winds and fires. 1466 02:43:01,000 --> 02:43:12,000 It's fastball in there for a called strike, 1. 1467 02:43:12,000 --> 02:43:17,000 What's up outside? 1468 02:43:17,000 --> 02:43:25,000 One and one. 1469 02:43:25,000 --> 02:43:28,000 Fastball in there for a called strike. 1470 02:43:28,000 --> 02:43:32,000 Went back to the blazer and it's one and two. 1471 02:43:32,000 --> 02:43:41,000 Carl Willie is up and throwing again into both ends of the net. 1472 02:43:41,000 --> 02:43:43,000 Let up, flung on and fouled off. 1473 02:43:43,000 --> 02:43:45,000 Charlie Neal chopped it down. 1474 02:43:45,000 --> 02:43:48,000 Stay alive, it's one and two. 1475 02:43:48,000 --> 02:43:55,000 Chico Fernandez is on deck. 1476 02:43:55,000 --> 02:43:57,000 That's a let up outside. 1477 02:43:57,000 --> 02:44:05,000 Two and two. 1478 02:44:05,000 --> 02:44:07,000 And the 2-2 pitch. 1479 02:44:07,000 --> 02:44:11,000 Flung on, fouled off, upstairs and out of play. 1480 02:44:11,000 --> 02:44:16,000 Count holds 2-2. 1481 02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:21,000 This is the concluding game of the current home stand. 1482 02:44:21,000 --> 02:44:23,000 Here's 2-2 pitch. 1483 02:44:23,000 --> 02:44:25,000 Let up, flung on and fouled off. 1484 02:44:25,000 --> 02:44:27,000 Charlie got a little piece of it. 1485 02:44:27,000 --> 02:44:32,000 Count holds it 2-2. 1486 02:44:32,000 --> 02:44:41,000 The Mets will be back here on Friday afternoon, July 5th. 1487 02:44:41,000 --> 02:44:44,000 The pitch, flung on and lined in the center. 1488 02:44:44,000 --> 02:44:48,000 Nelson Matthews coming straight in and he makes the catch. 1489 02:44:48,000 --> 02:44:56,000 Neal has lined up the center, two away, and that brings up Fernandez. 1490 02:44:56,000 --> 02:45:07,000 And now it's up to Chico as far as the Mets chances are winning here and the bottom of the night is a concern. 1491 02:45:07,000 --> 02:45:14,000 And it has one home run and five runs batted in. 1492 02:45:14,000 --> 02:45:16,000 Now he pitches in there. 1493 02:45:16,000 --> 02:45:20,000 Chico ran his hand down the bat, sort of bluffed the bunt in taking the pitch. 1494 02:45:20,000 --> 02:45:24,000 It's strike one. 1495 02:45:24,000 --> 02:45:28,000 Here's a play on a line shot into left field for a base pitch for Fernandez. 1496 02:45:28,000 --> 02:45:29,000 Williams is up with it. 1497 02:45:29,000 --> 02:45:30,000 We raise it in. 1498 02:45:30,000 --> 02:45:33,000 Chico turns and holds it first with a single little out-and-mouth. 1499 02:45:33,000 --> 02:45:37,000 Tracy Salad is few up and let's see what Casey does. 1500 02:45:37,000 --> 02:45:40,000 He has Rod Kniell at the bat rack. 1501 02:45:40,000 --> 02:45:45,000 The hot rod is getting the hard hat and selecting the timber and he'll be up in a moment. 1502 02:45:45,000 --> 02:45:53,000 Back for Salad and Carl Willie is the man warming the bullpen. 1503 02:45:53,000 --> 02:46:03,000 Rod Kniell being announced now. 1504 02:46:03,000 --> 02:46:05,000 Rod Kniell is batting two-thirteen. 1505 02:46:05,000 --> 02:46:08,000 He has five runs batted in. 1506 02:46:08,000 --> 02:46:24,000 There are two men out to score the side, four-four. 1507 02:46:24,000 --> 02:46:29,000 Right fielder Ellis Burton moves in now. 1508 02:46:29,000 --> 02:46:33,000 Right-hand batter Rod Kniell waits for the pitch. 1509 02:46:33,000 --> 02:46:38,000 It is lined into right field for a base hit and Fernandez is on his way to third. 1510 02:46:38,000 --> 02:46:40,000 Burton takes it off the wall. 1511 02:46:40,000 --> 02:46:48,000 He throws it to the center of the infield and it is taken by LeMay who is halfway between third and home backing up and Kniell moves on to second. 1512 02:46:48,000 --> 02:46:51,000 So the next pair run is at second and third. 1513 02:46:51,000 --> 02:46:54,000 Two men out and Jim Hickman coming up. 1514 02:46:54,000 --> 02:47:01,000 A line drive single to right by Kniell and he moves to second on the throw-in as Burton simply plays the ball off the wall 1515 02:47:01,000 --> 02:47:08,000 and threw it to the center of the infield and it came all the way through to Dick LeMay who was backing up wherever the throw happened to come. 1516 02:47:08,000 --> 02:47:11,000 And Bob Kennedy is on his way to the mound now. 1517 02:47:11,000 --> 02:47:18,000 Jack Warner has been throwing in the bullpen and he is going to go to the bullpen to get the right-hander here to face right-hand batter Jim Hickman. 1518 02:47:18,000 --> 02:47:22,000 Jack Warner has not made an appearance. 1519 02:47:22,000 --> 02:47:30,000 More to Chicago Cubs that is being brought up from Salt Lake City. 1520 02:47:30,000 --> 02:47:33,000 So the Mets have runners at second and third. 1521 02:47:33,000 --> 02:47:53,000 Two men out, bottom half of the ninth inning, score is tied 4-4 and Jack Warner is on his way into the bullpen. 1522 02:47:53,000 --> 02:48:00,000 Jack Warner at Salt Lake City won two games and lost one. 1523 02:48:00,000 --> 02:48:05,000 He saw that action down there last night in the bullpen but didn't get into the ball game. 1524 02:48:05,000 --> 02:48:17,000 This is his first appearance. 1525 02:48:17,000 --> 02:48:24,000 So Jack Warner comes on now in relief of left-hander Dick LeMay. 1526 02:48:24,000 --> 02:48:33,000 Warner is a right-hander. 1527 02:48:33,000 --> 02:48:38,000 There are no other games in progress in the Major League. 1528 02:48:38,000 --> 02:48:41,000 This is the only afternoon game scheduled. 1529 02:48:41,000 --> 02:48:44,000 All the other action is scheduled for tonight. 1530 02:48:44,000 --> 02:48:50,000 That will be Philadelphia at Pittsburgh, San Francisco Giants at St. Louis, 1531 02:48:50,000 --> 02:48:56,000 the Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati, and the Houston Colts 45s at Milwaukee. 1532 02:48:56,000 --> 02:49:02,000 In the American League, the New York Yankees are in Chicago tonight to take on the White Sox. 1533 02:49:02,000 --> 02:49:05,000 The Cleveland Indians are in Boston to meet the Red Sox. 1534 02:49:05,000 --> 02:49:08,000 The Washington Senators are in Kansas City to play the A's. 1535 02:49:08,000 --> 02:49:11,000 The Detroit Tigers are in Minnesota to play the Twins. 1536 02:49:11,000 --> 02:49:19,000 And the Baltimore Orioles meet the Los Angeles Angels in a twilight doubleheader in Los Angeles. 1537 02:49:19,000 --> 02:49:22,000 Warner is taking his warm-up tosses. 1538 02:49:22,000 --> 02:49:27,000 He has two left, says umpire Dan Lannis behind the plays. 1539 02:49:27,000 --> 02:49:33,000 Only a lot five, you'll recall, under this year's National League regulations. 1540 02:49:33,000 --> 02:49:39,000 And as Ralph Conner has remarked earlier, about all you need to warm up on a day like this is to comb your hair. 1541 02:49:39,000 --> 02:49:43,000 95 degrees in New York. 1542 02:49:43,000 --> 02:49:52,000 Jim Hickman steps in four times without a hit today. 1543 02:49:52,000 --> 02:49:58,000 Now Dick Bertil, the catcher, comes out to get checked out with Jack Warner. 1544 02:49:58,000 --> 02:50:16,000 And the fans get the chance started. This is something that Jack Warner hasn't heard before. 1545 02:50:16,000 --> 02:50:19,000 Jim Hickman in and waiting. 1546 02:50:19,000 --> 02:50:22,000 Fernando is the base runner at third and Rod Canneal the base runner at second. 1547 02:50:22,000 --> 02:50:25,000 Warner into the full windup and here's the pitch. 1548 02:50:25,000 --> 02:50:31,000 It is tipped off as Hickman moved up to push it down the first baseline 1549 02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:37,000 and just barely nicked it back into the catcher's glove for strike one. 1550 02:50:37,000 --> 02:50:43,000 Two minutes out. 1551 02:50:43,000 --> 02:50:50,000 And now Fernandez bluffs the start down the third baseline and Hickman takes the pitch in there for a called strike two. 1552 02:50:50,000 --> 02:50:54,000 Fernandez dug for about a half a dozen steps in the direction of home plate. 1553 02:50:54,000 --> 02:51:00,000 On the pitch. 1554 02:51:00,000 --> 02:51:11,000 Two strike count to Hickman. 1555 02:51:11,000 --> 02:51:17,000 Warner has the sign, works with the windup, pitch is flung on and foul back out of play. 1556 02:51:17,000 --> 02:51:24,000 Got hold of two strikes to Hickman with Ron Hunt on deck. 1557 02:51:24,000 --> 02:51:34,000 Two minutes out in the score tide, 4-4 on the bottom half of the ninth inning. 1558 02:51:34,000 --> 02:51:40,000 Again the two strike offering. Flung on and the strike three is stuck in the hot and will be going into extra innings. 1559 02:51:40,000 --> 02:51:48,000 So Warner comes in to put out the fire and at the bottom of the ninth the Mets got no runs on two hits. 1560 02:51:48,000 --> 02:51:50,000 No errors and two left. 1561 02:51:50,000 --> 02:52:00,000 And at the end of nine full innings the score is tied. The Cubs four, the Mets four. 1562 02:52:00,000 --> 02:52:03,000 This is the concluding game of the current home stand. 1563 02:52:03,000 --> 02:52:08,000 The Mets will be in Buffalo tomorrow night. That is an exhibition game between the Mets and their top farm club. 1564 02:52:08,000 --> 02:52:12,000 It will not be broadcast or televised. 1565 02:52:12,000 --> 02:52:18,000 However the Mets will be opening up in Pittsburgh on Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon 1566 02:52:18,000 --> 02:52:25,000 and that entire series in Pittsburgh will be carried on both radio and television. 1567 02:52:25,000 --> 02:52:33,000 The Mets will be coming back here against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday afternoon, July 6. 1568 02:52:33,000 --> 02:52:39,000 And then the first Saturday night game of the season and then a Sunday afternoon game. 1569 02:52:39,000 --> 02:52:44,000 For the New York Mets now Carl Willey is coming in to pitch. 1570 02:52:44,000 --> 02:52:58,000 Carl Willey being brought in as Tracy Salad was removed for the pinch hitter. 1571 02:52:58,000 --> 02:53:04,000 If you'd like to be about the business of getting tickets for a future Met game 1572 02:53:04,000 --> 02:53:08,000 the advance ticket window here at the Polo Grounds is open seven days a week. 1573 02:53:08,000 --> 02:53:12,000 It is at street level on the Eighth Avenue side. 1574 02:53:12,000 --> 02:53:17,000 You're a commuter coming in by train to either Grand Central Station or Pennsylvania Station. 1575 02:53:17,000 --> 02:53:22,000 You can pick up tickets on the way in in the morning or on the way out in the evening 1576 02:53:22,000 --> 02:53:27,000 because they are convenient ticket locations at each station, each terminal. 1577 02:53:27,000 --> 02:53:31,000 You can get a ticket reservation at any of the Howard's closest stores or you can order your tickets by mail. 1578 02:53:31,000 --> 02:53:35,000 It's ticket manager Polo Grounds, New York 39, New York. 1579 02:53:35,000 --> 02:53:40,000 Right now we go to the top of the 10th and coming up to lead off is Kenny Hubbs. 1580 02:53:40,000 --> 02:53:44,000 And coming in here to carry along is Ralph Keiner. 1581 02:53:44,000 --> 02:53:50,000 Okay Lindsay, Kenny Hubbs who has no hits and four times up will go against Carl Willey. 1582 02:53:50,000 --> 02:53:54,000 Carl with a record of six wins and six losses. 1583 02:53:54,000 --> 02:53:57,000 Right handed pitcher, this is his second appearance in relief. 1584 02:53:57,000 --> 02:54:03,000 His first appearance was in relief against Milwaukee at the start of the season. 1585 02:54:03,000 --> 02:54:10,000 And Carl's first pitch is one on a missed strike one. 1586 02:54:10,000 --> 02:54:13,000 Hubbs the right hand batter batting 236. 1587 02:54:13,000 --> 02:54:21,000 It'll be Hubbs, Bertell and Nelson Matthews against Carl Willey. 1588 02:54:21,000 --> 02:54:24,000 Now Carl with a big wind up and back with a curve ball. 1589 02:54:24,000 --> 02:54:28,000 Again a swing, he strikes two. 1590 02:54:28,000 --> 02:54:31,000 Now the fourth pitcher used by manager Casey Stengel. 1591 02:54:31,000 --> 02:54:35,000 Al Jackson was the starter.

--> 02:56:27,000 So three runs, one in the double by Duke Snyder, the other two on a home run by Frank Thomas. 1611 02:56:27,000 --> 02:56:29,000 They added their time run in the eighth. 1612 02:56:29,000 --> 02:56:49,000 Now Willey back again and it's low for ball two, two balls and one strike. 1613 02:56:49,000 --> 02:56:52,000 Two balls and one strike. 1614 02:56:52,000 --> 02:56:54,000 One man out. 1615 02:56:54,000 --> 02:56:58,000 And the pitch by Carl is a fastball fouled off to the right side. 1616 02:56:58,000 --> 02:57:02,000 He just gives chase but then gives up as the ball goes in the stands. 1617 02:57:02,000 --> 02:57:06,000 Now now a round's out at two and two. 1618 02:57:06,000 --> 02:57:10,000 Carl has appeared before the Cubs one other time. 1619 02:57:10,000 --> 02:57:22,000 He won that game two nothing and he pitched a fine three hitter. 1620 02:57:22,000 --> 02:57:25,000 That was back on April 24th. 1621 02:57:25,000 --> 02:57:32,000 Cubs and Mets have played six games so far with each team coming out a win or three times. 1622 02:57:32,000 --> 02:57:34,000 Now Willey with a new ball. 1623 02:57:34,000 --> 02:57:36,000 Here's the two-two pitch to Bertell. 1624 02:57:36,000 --> 02:57:39,000 Kirby checks the time. 1625 02:57:39,000 --> 02:57:46,000 Bertell was way out there but got the bat back and it's called ball three. 1626 02:57:46,000 --> 02:57:54,000 Everybody in the ballpark looking for a strike call right there except home plate umpire Stan Landis. 1627 02:57:54,000 --> 02:57:57,000 Full count at three and two. 1628 02:57:57,000 --> 02:57:59,000 And the pitch by Willey. 1629 02:57:59,000 --> 02:58:02,000 Fastball hit off of the hands right back of the pitchers mound. 1630 02:58:02,000 --> 02:58:14,000 Tim Harkness coming in and he makes the catch for out number two. 1631 02:58:14,000 --> 02:58:18,000 That'll bring up pitch hitter Lou Brock batting for Nelson Matthews. 1632 02:58:18,000 --> 02:58:21,000 Brock a left hand batter. 1633 02:58:21,000 --> 02:58:25,000 Matthews going out a right hand batter. 1634 02:58:25,000 --> 02:58:29,000 Brock if you recall is a fellow who hit one into the right center field stands. 1635 02:58:29,000 --> 02:58:32,000 The only man to ever do so here in the Polar Grounds. 1636 02:58:32,000 --> 02:58:34,000 That was last year. 1637 02:58:34,000 --> 02:58:42,000 This year he's batting 264 with three home runs and 18 runs batted in. 1638 02:58:42,000 --> 02:58:44,000 There have been two other balls in the center field. 1639 02:58:44,000 --> 02:58:46,000 One by Joe Adcock. 1640 02:58:46,000 --> 02:58:48,000 The other by Hank Aaron. 1641 02:58:48,000 --> 02:58:55,000 They were on the left center field side of center field. 1642 02:58:55,000 --> 02:58:59,000 Brock has fine speed and Johnny Neal shortens up a third base against him. 1643 02:58:59,000 --> 02:59:02,000 Here's the first pitch a fastball strike one. 1644 02:59:02,000 --> 02:59:04,000 Comes four, that's four. 1645 02:59:04,000 --> 02:59:11,000 Two men on top of the tenth. 1646 02:59:11,000 --> 02:59:14,000 Beyond deck batter is Ernie Banks. 1647 02:59:14,000 --> 02:59:16,000 And now Willey with a one strike delivery. 1648 02:59:16,000 --> 02:59:20,000 A curve ball popped up in foul territory over in the third base side. 1649 02:59:20,000 --> 02:59:23,000 Johnny Neal running for it but he can't catch up with it. 1650 02:59:23,000 --> 02:59:28,000 The ball hits the warning track and bounces into the stands. 1651 02:59:28,000 --> 02:59:32,000 Ball was not high enough in the air to give Johnny time to get to it. 1652 02:59:32,000 --> 02:59:48,000 But Carl Willey now is on two to Lou Brock. 1653 02:59:48,000 --> 02:59:51,000 Willey taking the sign from Sammy Taylor. 1654 02:59:51,000 --> 02:59:54,000 And now into the windup and here's the two strike delivery. 1655 02:59:54,000 --> 02:59:56,000 Fastball and he's got him looking. 1656 02:59:56,000 --> 02:59:59,000 Strike three. 1657 02:59:59,000 --> 03:00:04,000 Two strikeouts for Carl Willey and his first inning. 1658 03:00:04,000 --> 03:00:07,000 And the score now at the end of nine and one half innings of play. 1659 03:00:07,000 --> 03:00:12,000 The Cubs four and that's four. 1660 03:00:12,000 --> 03:00:17,000 Well you know popularity like Reingold has doesn't just happen. 1661 03:00:17,000 --> 03:00:22,000 It's the result of millions of people agreeing that Reingold has what they want and fear. 1662 03:00:22,000 --> 03:00:25,000 A refreshing difference that they can recognize right off. 1663 03:00:25,000 --> 03:00:29,000 And two little words tell you what the difference is. 1664 03:00:29,000 --> 03:00:31,000 Two words, extra dry. 1665 03:00:31,000 --> 03:00:35,000 Yes extra dry tells you Reingold is beer as beer should taste. 1666 03:00:35,000 --> 03:00:38,000 Frisk and bright and clean clear through. 1667 03:00:38,000 --> 03:00:42,000 That's Reingold beer for you and it is the beer for you. 1668 03:00:42,000 --> 03:00:46,000 Reingold is a better beer because it's the dry beer. 1669 03:00:46,000 --> 03:00:50,000 It's a wonderful beer for those wonderful days we all like to enjoy. 1670 03:00:50,000 --> 03:00:52,000 Even the flavor has a sparkle to it. 1671 03:00:52,000 --> 03:00:57,000 You'll find that out with your very first glass of Reingold extra dry. 1672 03:00:57,000 --> 03:01:00,000 So why not do it right now. 1673 03:01:00,000 --> 03:01:05,000 Join the millions who say my beer is Reingold the dry beer. 1674 03:01:05,000 --> 03:01:08,000 Yes sir think of Reingold whenever you buy beer. 1675 03:01:08,000 --> 03:01:14,000 Buy some today, tonight, tomorrow or the first chance you get. 1676 03:01:14,000 --> 03:01:16,000 Discover the difference that dry makes. 1677 03:01:16,000 --> 03:01:20,000 Ask for Reingold extra dry beer. 1678 03:01:20,000 --> 03:01:23,000 Lou Brock is staying in the ball game. 1679 03:01:23,000 --> 03:01:26,000 He is playing in right field and moved to center field. 1680 03:01:26,000 --> 03:01:31,000 Burton, Alice Burton in center field from right field and in the game Lou Brock. 1681 03:01:31,000 --> 03:01:37,000 Who was a pinch hitter for the center fielder Nelson Matthews. 1682 03:01:37,000 --> 03:01:39,000 On the mound Jack Warner working his second inning. 1683 03:01:39,000 --> 03:01:44,000 He came in the pitch to one man and he got him on a strikeout. 1684 03:01:44,000 --> 03:01:45,000 That was Jim Heckman. 1685 03:01:45,000 --> 03:01:47,000 The Mets at that time had runners at second and third. 1686 03:01:47,000 --> 03:01:51,000 And of course the runner at third base would have won the game in the bottom half of the ninth. 1687 03:01:51,000 --> 03:01:54,000 First man up against Warner will be Ron Hunt. 1688 03:01:54,000 --> 03:02:05,000 Ron has one hit and four times up. 1689 03:02:05,000 --> 03:02:10,000 Warner a right hander and his first pitch is a fastball that's inside for ball one. 1690 03:02:10,000 --> 03:02:17,000 Cubs have four runs on seven hits and Mets have four runs in eight. 1691 03:02:17,000 --> 03:02:22,000 It'll be Ron Hunt, Duke Snyder and Frank Thomas. 1692 03:02:22,000 --> 03:02:30,000 All against the right hander Jack Warner who is making his first appearance for the Cubs. 1693 03:02:30,000 --> 03:02:32,000 Here's the 1-0 delivery. 1694 03:02:32,000 --> 03:02:34,000 Overhand fastball hit the center field. 1695 03:02:34,000 --> 03:02:35,000 Moving back is Burton. 1696 03:02:35,000 --> 03:02:37,000 He turns and he makes the catch. 1697 03:02:37,000 --> 03:02:41,000 Ball is hit well to center field but not high enough to go far enough. 1698 03:02:41,000 --> 03:02:53,000 And it comes to have one out with Duke Snyder coming up. 1699 03:02:53,000 --> 03:02:55,000 Duke has one hit and three times up. 1700 03:02:55,000 --> 03:02:59,000 The two times he was put out he hit the ball well. 1701 03:02:59,000 --> 03:03:05,000 In the first inning Burton while playing right field made one of the best catches of the year on him. 1702 03:03:05,000 --> 03:03:09,000 Had Rob Duke of at least a double possibly a triple. 1703 03:03:09,000 --> 03:03:17,000 And his second time up Nelson Matthews in center field went back 440 feet away in center field to make a catch. 1704 03:03:17,000 --> 03:03:19,000 Duke then doubled the right to drive in a run. 1705 03:03:19,000 --> 03:03:22,000 There's a line drive to center of base hit. 1706 03:03:22,000 --> 03:03:31,000 Taking on the short hop after one bounce by Burton and the Mets now have the winning run at first base with one man out and Frank Thomas coming to back. 1707 03:03:31,000 --> 03:03:38,000 Frank has driven in three runs. He has had a two run home run and his last base hit drove in the timer in the ball game. 1708 03:03:38,000 --> 03:03:51,000 Warming up in the bullpen for the Cubs now in a hurry is Jim Brewer, a left hander. 1709 03:03:51,000 --> 03:03:55,000 Thomas with three hits and four times up, a right hand batter. 1710 03:03:55,000 --> 03:04:02,000 Frank is making a big climb to get back up in the normal batting position for him. 1711 03:04:02,000 --> 03:04:14,000 He's now batting 259 after a very slow start. 1712 03:04:14,000 --> 03:04:41,000 Now we're going to have a pinch runner Jimmy Peresaw coming in to run for Duke Snyder. 1713 03:04:41,000 --> 03:04:48,000 Jimmy Peresaw, a pinch runner for Duke Snyder and he'll probably stay in the ball game defensively if the Mets have to play in the 11th inning. 1714 03:04:48,000 --> 03:04:51,000 First pitch to Frank Thomas, a curve ball outside for ball one. 1715 03:04:51,000 --> 03:04:58,000 That's the first curve that Jack Warner has thrown since he's come in the ball game. 1716 03:04:58,000 --> 03:05:01,000 He is now pitching to his fourth man. 1717 03:05:01,000 --> 03:05:16,000 Here's the 1-0 pitch, again the curve and it's outside for ball two. 1718 03:05:16,000 --> 03:05:28,000 Two balls, no strikes. The score tied at 4-4, bottom half of the 10th inning. A quick throw to Peresaw back, no tag made by Ernie Banks. 1719 03:05:28,000 --> 03:05:31,000 Here's the stretch and the pitch back to Thomas. 1720 03:05:31,000 --> 03:05:36,000 Fly ball hits to left field. Billy Windham's coming in, glass is down. 1721 03:05:36,000 --> 03:05:39,000 He's shading from the sun and he makes the catch for out number two. 1722 03:05:39,000 --> 03:05:42,000 That will bring up the left hand batter Sammy Taylor. 1723 03:05:42,000 --> 03:05:46,000 Back to first base Jimmy Peresaw while we wait for Taylor to come to bat. 1724 03:05:46,000 --> 03:05:50,000 We'll pause for station identification. 1725 03:05:50,000 --> 03:05:56,000 A-10 on the dial, WGY in Schenectady, one minute before five. 1726 03:05:56,000 --> 03:06:00,000 Ralph Garner along with Lindsey Nelson and Bob Murphy from the Polar Ground. 1727 03:06:00,000 --> 03:06:03,000 We're in extra innings now, bottom half of the 10th inning. 1728 03:06:03,000 --> 03:06:10,000 The Cubs had a 4-0 lead but the Mets bounced back to score three runs in the sixth and one run in the eighth to tie it up. 1729 03:06:10,000 --> 03:06:13,000 And we're in there now at 4-4, two men out. 1730 03:06:13,000 --> 03:06:26,000 The batter Sammy Taylor with Jimmy Peresaw on at first base. 1731 03:06:26,000 --> 03:06:30,000 First pitch to Sammy Taylor, a hard swing and a foul ball back in the screen. 1732 03:06:30,000 --> 03:06:36,000 Sam was going for all it was worth and that one pitch up around the shoulders. 1733 03:06:36,000 --> 03:06:52,000 And Jack Warner now out in front, all in one, still throwing to the bullpen is Jim Brewer. 1734 03:06:52,000 --> 03:06:55,000 Sammy has yet to pick up a base hit in this game. 1735 03:06:55,000 --> 03:06:57,000 He is all for four. 1736 03:06:57,000 --> 03:07:04,000 That drops his average down to 276. 1737 03:07:04,000 --> 03:07:09,000 Now the stretch, a look at first base and the pitch back to Taylor, a hard ground ball down to Ernie Banks. 1738 03:07:09,000 --> 03:07:14,000 He comes up with a ball, moves to first base, makes the tag of the bag to retire the side. 1739 03:07:14,000 --> 03:07:16,000 In the inning for the Mets, no runs on one hit. 1740 03:07:16,000 --> 03:07:20,000 There were no errors and one man left on and the score at the end of 10 innings of play. 1741 03:07:20,000 --> 03:07:22,000 The Cubs four runs on seven hits. 1742 03:07:22,000 --> 03:07:26,000 The Mets have four runs and nine hits. 1743 03:07:26,000 --> 03:07:30,000 For the 11th inning to bring you the play-by-play, once again, Lindsey Nelson. 1744 03:07:30,000 --> 03:07:32,000 Thank you very much, Ralph Garner. 1745 03:07:32,000 --> 03:07:39,000 Cookie Lavagento had just been out warming up the pitcher as the forces of personnel are being depleted here. 1746 03:07:39,000 --> 03:07:43,000 Duke Snyder is heading for the clubhouse having been removed for the pinch runner. 1747 03:07:43,000 --> 03:07:47,000 Piersol stays in the ball game at center field and Jim Hickman moves over to right. 1748 03:07:47,000 --> 03:07:51,000 Shortstop Chico Fernandez has gone for a pair of sunglasses. 1749 03:07:51,000 --> 03:07:54,000 He has them and he's on his way back to his position at shortstop. 1750 03:07:54,000 --> 03:08:01,000 And Ernie Banks is up to lead off for the Chicago Cubs in the top half of the 11th inning facing Carl Willis. 1751 03:08:01,000 --> 03:08:08,000 Willie looks in to get a sign from Sammy Taylor, dips into the windup, 1752 03:08:08,000 --> 03:08:12,000 and here's the pitch to the right-hand batter, a breaking ball high for ball one. 1753 03:08:12,000 --> 03:08:18,000 Mets four and the Cubs four in the 11th inning. 1754 03:08:18,000 --> 03:08:24,000 Again, Willie works. 1755 03:08:24,000 --> 03:08:31,000 Swing out of Pup coming over toward the Mets dugout. It's out of play. 1756 03:08:31,000 --> 03:08:36,000 One and one. This is the eighth extra inning game of the season for the Mets. 1757 03:08:36,000 --> 03:08:45,000 In extra inning competition, the Mets have won three and lost four. 1758 03:08:45,000 --> 03:08:49,000 Ernie Banks did not start this ball game. He did not intend to play in the ball game today. 1759 03:08:49,000 --> 03:08:51,000 He thought he was being given a day's rest. 1760 03:08:51,000 --> 03:08:54,000 Here's the one-one pitch. Breaking ball swung on to foul ball coming back. 1761 03:08:54,000 --> 03:09:00,000 Taylor should have a play in front of the dugout of the Cubs and he makes the catch. 1762 03:09:00,000 --> 03:09:05,000 So Banks has fouled out to the catcher. There is one away and Ellis Burton is coming up. 1763 03:09:05,000 --> 03:09:14,000 Switch hitting leadoff man in the cup batting order. Comes around the bat from the left-hand side. 1764 03:09:14,000 --> 03:09:19,000 He had a home run in the second inning. 1765 03:09:19,000 --> 03:09:27,000 That was at that time the second Cub run. 1766 03:09:27,000 --> 03:09:31,000 Now Carl Willie again with the windup and the pitch. Swung on at the ground ball to first. 1767 03:09:31,000 --> 03:09:36,000 It is taken by Harkman. If he gets control, drops it, picks it up, tags the bag and he's out. 1768 03:09:36,000 --> 03:09:41,000 Well, that one ran up his arms, off his chest, caught it in his hands, started to the bag, dropped it, 1769 03:09:41,000 --> 03:09:46,000 picked it up and made the tag near two away. 1770 03:09:46,000 --> 03:09:49,000 Any way you make them, they count just the same if you get there in time. 1771 03:09:49,000 --> 03:09:53,000 Andre Rogers coming up now, right-hand batter. 1772 03:09:53,000 --> 03:10:02,000 He had a brace of doubles in this ball game. 1773 03:10:02,000 --> 03:10:08,000 Leo Burke started the ball game at first base for the Cubs and then when he was ejected from arguing a strike call 1774 03:10:08,000 --> 03:10:13,000 with umpire Stan Landis, Ernie Banks is brought in to play first base. 1775 03:10:13,000 --> 03:10:16,000 Rogers waiting. 1776 03:10:16,000 --> 03:10:29,000 Pitches in there for a call strike for the Cub shortstop. 1777 03:10:29,000 --> 03:10:34,000 Carl Willie gets into that smooth, fluid motion and the pitch is low. 1778 03:10:34,000 --> 03:10:39,000 It's one and one. 1779 03:10:39,000 --> 03:10:44,000 Head winning pitchers in Sunday's doubleheader with the Phil's were Carl Willie and Tracy Stallard. 1780 03:10:44,000 --> 03:10:53,000 They both have seen relief duty in this ball game here today. 1781 03:10:53,000 --> 03:11:10,000 It's a ball low and it's two and one. 1782 03:11:10,000 --> 03:11:13,000 Now the two-one pitch to Andre Rogers. 1783 03:11:13,000 --> 03:11:19,000 Swung hard and lined into the glove of Hutt at second base for the offensively tied at the side. 1784 03:11:19,000 --> 03:11:23,000 Ron Hutt. 1785 03:11:23,000 --> 03:11:29,000 And so in the top of the 11th the Chicago Cubs got no runs on no hits, no errors and none left. 1786 03:11:29,000 --> 03:11:35,000 And at the end of ten and a half innings it's the Cubs four and the Mets four. 1787 03:11:35,000 --> 03:11:46,000 Paul Allen, Lou Brock is up for this first and second not in time and Harkness flies in although there's no play on him with a double. 1788 03:11:46,000 --> 03:11:56,000 It was not hit high enough on the line to get into the stand at the edge of the wall and Brock was right over there against the wall to try to play it and he managed to get it just coming off. 1789 03:11:56,000 --> 03:12:07,000 And it is a double for Harkness to open up the bottom half of the 11th inning with Charlie Neal coming up and that calls for a Cub strategy conference now. 1790 03:12:07,000 --> 03:12:21,000 He has to defend against the possibility of the Mets going to the top to fight to try to move Harkness on over to third where he could score on a fly ball to the outfield or a number of other ways. 1791 03:12:21,000 --> 03:12:28,000 Charlie Neal is 0-4 on this ball game today. 1792 03:12:28,000 --> 03:12:32,000 And again Jim Brewer is up and throwing in the bullpen for the Chicago Cubs. 1793 03:12:32,000 --> 03:12:36,000 Bob Kennedy comes out of the dugout. He is called out there by umpire Stan Landis. 1794 03:12:36,000 --> 03:12:40,000 Landis calls coach Bob Kennedy out. 1795 03:12:40,000 --> 03:12:48,000 Starts to him. 1796 03:12:48,000 --> 03:12:54,000 No indication of what the subject of that conversation is about. 1797 03:12:54,000 --> 03:12:59,000 Now Landis comes back to assume his position behind the plate. 1798 03:12:59,000 --> 03:13:08,000 This is Jesse Lavagetta to get his sign. Ron Santoso to third baseman and on the edge of the grass at third. Banks in on the edge of the grass at first in anticipation of a bunch of chips. 1799 03:13:08,000 --> 03:13:15,000 Here is the pitch it's hung on and foul by Guns and Green and out of play. No bunch there. 1800 03:13:15,000 --> 03:13:35,000 Tim Harkness the base runner at second as the Mets make a bid here in the bottom half of the 11th with the score tied 4-4. 1801 03:13:35,000 --> 03:13:41,000 Jack Warner with the pitch. Fon has a foul ball to the right side and out of play. 1802 03:13:41,000 --> 03:13:46,000 You happen to be a commuter on your way home driving on some of the highways in and around New York. 1803 03:13:46,000 --> 03:13:50,000 Do be careful there are Mets fans in some of those cars. 1804 03:13:50,000 --> 03:14:01,000 And we're in the bottom half of the 11th inning here. 1805 03:14:01,000 --> 03:14:05,000 Charlie Neal in and waiting. 1806 03:14:05,000 --> 03:14:09,000 Warner's pitch is high and away for ball. It's one and two. 1807 03:14:09,000 --> 03:14:17,000 With two strikes on Neal both San Jo at third and Banks at first have retreated to normal depth. 1808 03:14:17,000 --> 03:14:26,000 There is nobody out. 1809 03:14:26,000 --> 03:14:29,000 Pitch is hung on foul off to the right side and out of play. 1810 03:14:29,000 --> 03:14:34,000 The count holds at one and two to Charlie Neal. 1811 03:14:34,000 --> 03:14:42,000 Chico Fernandez is on deck now for the Mets. 1812 03:14:42,000 --> 03:14:57,000 The only available pinch hitter that the Mets have besides pitchers that they have not used is Norm Sherry. 1813 03:14:57,000 --> 03:15:14,000 Now Warner with the pitch high for ball. It's two and two. 1814 03:15:14,000 --> 03:15:18,000 Jack Warner and Carl Willie are of course the pitchers of record in this ballgame. 1815 03:15:18,000 --> 03:15:25,000 Here's two-two pitchers high and away and it's out pulling out of Charlie Neal. 1816 03:15:25,000 --> 03:15:29,000 Warner takes off the glove to look around. 1817 03:15:29,000 --> 03:15:36,000 Mop his brow a little bit. 1818 03:15:36,000 --> 03:15:39,000 Now he's up on the rubber looking in for his time. 1819 03:15:39,000 --> 03:15:43,000 Little rhythmic applause started by the fans here at the polo ground. 1820 03:15:43,000 --> 03:15:46,000 Harkness leads off the bag at second. Here's the playoff pitch. 1821 03:15:46,000 --> 03:15:50,000 Hang on a minute. He's stuck him out. 1822 03:15:50,000 --> 03:15:56,000 Warner's second strike out since he came in and that will bring up Chico Fernandez. 1823 03:15:56,000 --> 03:16:12,000 He's a right-hand batter. 1824 03:16:12,000 --> 03:16:20,000 One away and a runner at second. Score tied 4-4. 1825 03:16:20,000 --> 03:16:24,000 And now with first base open Fernandez is going to be intentionally walked. 1826 03:16:24,000 --> 03:16:28,000 They're not worried about Fernandez. The man they're worried about is Harkness at second base. 1827 03:16:28,000 --> 03:16:34,000 And pitcher Carl Willie is due up next. 1828 03:16:34,000 --> 03:16:42,000 So they're going to walk Fernandez. It's ball two. 1829 03:16:42,000 --> 03:16:48,000 He is of no consequence to the Cubs of course because Harkness is a potential winning run at second base. 1830 03:16:48,000 --> 03:16:54,000 You're in the bottom half of the 11th inning. 1831 03:16:54,000 --> 03:16:58,000 And Norm Sherry is running in from the bullpen now. 1832 03:16:58,000 --> 03:17:05,000 As Fernandez goes down to first, Norm Sherry is cutting across from the bullpen area coming in towards the dugout. 1833 03:17:05,000 --> 03:17:11,000 Taking advantage of this delay, Bertell has gone out to the mound and so has Ernie Banks. 1834 03:17:11,000 --> 03:17:20,000 And Sherry is the only man left for the Mets to use as a penchetta besides pitchers. 1835 03:17:20,000 --> 03:17:26,000 Now Cookie Lavagetta walks out onto the infield grass to talk to Tim Harkness. 1836 03:17:26,000 --> 03:17:34,000 Sally Hemas, the coach at first is talking to Fernandez who is standing on the bag. 1837 03:17:34,000 --> 03:17:41,000 Norm Sherry is getting a bat. 1838 03:17:41,000 --> 03:17:46,000 And he is batting for Carl Willie. 1839 03:17:46,000 --> 03:17:58,000 Norm Sherry is the 19th player to be used by the Mets in this game. 1840 03:17:58,000 --> 03:18:01,000 So Carl Willie is out of the ball game. 1841 03:18:01,000 --> 03:18:08,000 After having retired six consecutive batters in the 10th and 11th innings, he's faced six and he's set down six. 1842 03:18:08,000 --> 03:18:11,000 But Casey Singler is making a move to try to win it here in the bottom of the 11th. 1843 03:18:11,000 --> 03:18:20,000 Going to right hand batter Norm Sherry, he has Galen Cisco up and throwing in the bullpen. 1844 03:18:20,000 --> 03:18:36,000 There is one man out as Sherry comes around. 1845 03:18:36,000 --> 03:18:43,000 Harkness the base runner at second, Fernandez the base runner at first. 1846 03:18:43,000 --> 03:18:45,000 Norm Sherry is in and waiting. 1847 03:18:45,000 --> 03:18:47,000 Jack Warner is up and set. 1848 03:18:47,000 --> 03:18:48,000 Here's the pitch. 1849 03:18:48,000 --> 03:18:50,000 It's a little over down the third base line. 1850 03:18:50,000 --> 03:18:51,000 Santo takes it up the bag. 1851 03:18:51,000 --> 03:18:53,000 He's out there, the throw to first. 1852 03:18:53,000 --> 03:18:54,000 He's out there. 1853 03:18:54,000 --> 03:18:56,000 It's a double play and ends the inning. 1854 03:18:56,000 --> 03:18:58,000 A ground ball taken right out the bag by Santo. 1855 03:18:58,000 --> 03:19:03,000 In one motion he steps on the bag through on the first to Ernie Banks. 1856 03:19:03,000 --> 03:19:06,000 Time to get Norm Sherry.

He jumps high in the air to take it on one bounce. 1890 03:21:44,000 --> 03:21:49,000 He calls the first base and that does it. 1891 03:21:49,000 --> 03:21:53,000 All the plays handled right at the pitcher's mound and at first base. 1892 03:21:53,000 --> 03:21:57,000 One, two, three for Galen Sisco and now the Mets come to bat. 1893 03:21:57,000 --> 03:22:05,000 In the bottom half of the 12th inning the score is tied 4 to 4. 1894 03:22:05,000 --> 03:22:09,000 Bottom half of the 12th inning Jack Warner on the mound for the Chicago Cubs. 1895 03:22:09,000 --> 03:22:11,000 He's the fifth man used by the Cubs. 1896 03:22:11,000 --> 03:22:16,000 He came in the ball game in the ninth inning with two outs and met that runners at second and third. 1897 03:22:16,000 --> 03:22:20,000 The winning run at third base and Warner struck out Jim Hickman. 1898 03:22:20,000 --> 03:22:24,000 He worked the 10th inning giving up one hit to Duke Snyder. 1899 03:22:24,000 --> 03:22:29,000 Duke was left at first base as Warner picked up Thomas and Sammy Taylor. 1900 03:22:29,000 --> 03:22:37,000 In the 11th inning Kim Hawkins doubled to start the inning off against Warner and he was left at second base as Warner got Charlie Neal a strikeout. 1901 03:22:37,000 --> 03:22:44,000 And after an intentional pass to Tico Fernandez he got Norm Sherry a pinch hitter to hit into a double play. 1902 03:22:44,000 --> 03:22:48,000 So now Warner starts here in the 12th inning. He'll be pitching to Jim Hickman. 1903 03:22:48,000 --> 03:22:51,000 Jim has no base hits and five times up in this game. 1904 03:22:51,000 --> 03:23:06,000 And here's the first pitch for the right hand batter.

Started pitching in 1958. 1912 03:23:56,000 --> 03:23:59,000 In 1959 he was 13 and three in the minor league. 1913 03:23:59,000 --> 03:24:04,000 There's a fastball at the knees for strike two. 1914 03:24:04,000 --> 03:24:12,000 In 1961 it was hampered by a sore arm and in 1962 he appeared in seven games with the Cubs in April with no record. 1915 03:24:12,000 --> 03:24:17,000 Now three-two to Hickman and there's a hard drive to the third baseman Ron Sano. 1916 03:24:17,000 --> 03:24:26,000 Sano moving to his left, one-handed for out number one. 1917 03:24:26,000 --> 03:24:34,000 And with one out the batter will be Ron Hunt. Ron has one hit and five times up. 1918 03:24:34,000 --> 03:24:39,000 Score four to four. The Cubs pull runs on seven hits. The Mets have four runs and ten hits. 1919 03:24:39,000 --> 03:24:45,000 The final game of this two-game series. 1920 03:24:45,000 --> 03:24:51,000 Getting tough to see at home plate now. The shadow extending across in front of a home plate about ten feet out. 1921 03:24:51,000 --> 03:24:58,000 And of course this time of day, this time of day it's right off of the center field scoreboard. 1922 03:24:58,000 --> 03:25:13,000 Here's the first pitch. It's a curveball outside and low for ball one. 1923 03:25:13,000 --> 03:25:22,000 Warner into the lineup and the 1-0 delivery. A fastball low and outside at the knees for strike one. 1924 03:25:22,000 --> 03:25:31,000 One ball, one strike. 1925 03:25:31,000 --> 03:25:35,000 And at 1-1 Warner comes back with a curve that's too low. 1926 03:25:35,000 --> 03:25:40,000 Two balls and one strike. Warner's curveball is a fast breaking curve. 1927 03:25:40,000 --> 03:25:50,000 He's sort of a short-arm pitcher, very sneaky fast with his fastball. 1928 03:25:50,000 --> 03:25:59,000 Two balls and one strike. And a fastball is on the outside corner. That evens the count of two balls and two strikes. 1929 03:25:59,000 --> 03:26:06,000 Mets in the bottom half of the 12th inning. Their longest game in their brief history, a 15-inning affair, was the Philadelphia Phillies. 1930 03:26:06,000 --> 03:26:16,000 Al Jackson went all the way and that one lost it. Now at 2-2 the pitch is a curveball just outside for a full count of three and two. 1931 03:26:16,000 --> 03:26:27,000 The on-deck batter, Jimmy Pearsall, he'll be batting for the first time. 1932 03:26:27,000 --> 03:26:34,000 Last run of this game came back in the eighth inning. Fastball hits the second base. Kenny Hubbs comes up with it. 1933 03:26:34,000 --> 03:26:51,000 And he goes to Ernie Banks for the second out in the 12th inning. That will bring up Jimmy Pearsall. 1934 03:26:51,000 --> 03:27:01,000 Pearsall batting for the first time has one home run and nine RBIs. He is batting 220. 1935 03:27:01,000 --> 03:27:17,000 And the first pitch to Jim is a fastball high for ball one. 1936 03:27:17,000 --> 03:27:32,000 Warner back with a fastball. It's on for strike one. One ball, one strike. Hubbs for, Mets for, bottom half of the 12th. 1937 03:27:32,000 --> 03:27:43,000 Here's the 1-1 pitch, low for ball two. Warner works in a hurry. He just pumps away. 1938 03:27:43,000 --> 03:27:49,000 Now Stan Landis, the home plate umpire, dusting off the right corner of the plate. 1939 03:27:49,000 --> 03:27:57,000 Two balls and one strike. And the pitch to Jim. Fastball fouled away. 1940 03:27:57,000 --> 03:28:08,000 So Warner has picked the count up to two balls and two strikes. 1941 03:28:08,000 --> 03:28:21,000 Dick Bertell, who has caught all the way, now walking the ball back to the pitcher's mound. A new ball being put in play and Bertell is rubbing the ball up. 1942 03:28:21,000 --> 03:28:32,000 Kasey just turned in to cut score to run in the first, to run in the second, and two in the fifth. They let four nothing, but the Mets came back to score three in the sixth and they tied it up in the eighth inning. 1943 03:28:32,000 --> 03:28:43,000 They've had a run short since the bottom half of the eighth inning. Here's the 2-2 pitch, high for ball three. So once again, Jack Warner has gone a full count. 1944 03:28:43,000 --> 03:28:51,000 As he goes to three and two to Jimmy Fearsall. The on deck batter is Frank Thomas. Frank has driven in three of the runs in this ball game. 1945 03:28:51,000 --> 03:29:06,000 Two run home run two. And a fastball is high for ball four and that brings up Frank. 1946 03:29:06,000 --> 03:29:20,000 Frank singled in the second inning for his first hit. And now Jimmy Fearsall takes off for second base. A throw there to the second baseman Kenny Hubbs is in time and he is out. 1947 03:29:20,000 --> 03:29:27,000 Jimmy Fearsall trying to catch the Cubs by surprise ends up as the surprise one as he is throwing out. 1948 03:29:27,000 --> 03:29:35,000 Kenny Hubbs making the play at second base so Frank Thomas will not get a chance to bat in the twelfth inning. He'll work in the thirteenth. 1949 03:29:35,000 --> 03:29:46,000 In the inning for the Mets no runs, no hits, no errors, one walk and no one left on base. And the score at the end of twelve innings of play, the Cubs four, the Mets four. 1950 03:29:46,000 --> 03:29:56,000 He wasn't on the rubber and Jimmy Fearsall thought he could get a jump and make it all the way but he didn't because Warner simply turned and tossed to Kenny Hubbs in plenty of time. 1951 03:29:56,000 --> 03:30:01,000 So now we're going to the thirteenth, Cisco on the mound for the New York Mets and Hubbs is at the plate. 1952 03:30:01,000 --> 03:30:07,000 A right hand batter, Cisco into the wind up in the pitch and it's in there for a called strike. 1953 03:30:07,000 --> 03:30:17,000 At one time in this ball game the Cubs led by a score of four to nothing. Mets tied it up four, four to bring it out into extra inning. 1954 03:30:17,000 --> 03:30:20,000 There's a breaking ball just missed high and it's one and one. 1955 03:30:20,000 --> 03:30:41,000 Cisco again gets the sign and the one-one delivery is put on and fouled off. Strike two. 1956 03:30:41,000 --> 03:30:47,000 That ball just nicking Sammy Taylor, the foul ball. He is it as far as Mets catching is concerned. 1957 03:30:47,000 --> 03:30:59,000 Scott Coleman and Norm Sherry both have made pinch hitting appearances. 1958 03:30:59,000 --> 03:31:04,000 Cisco shakes off a sign, now has the one he wants, the one-two pitch is put on and missed. 1959 03:31:04,000 --> 03:31:06,000 Low curve ball. 1960 03:31:06,000 --> 03:31:15,000 Third is a strikeout for Cisco and will bring up catcher Dick Buccell. 1961 03:31:15,000 --> 03:31:21,000 He's two for five in this game. 1962 03:31:21,000 --> 03:31:32,000 Mets with four runs on ten hits and the Cubs with four runs on seven hits. 1963 03:31:32,000 --> 03:31:45,000 Cisco with a pitch put on, foul back and out of play. Strike one. 1964 03:31:45,000 --> 03:31:51,000 Lou Brock is now on deck for the Cubs. 1965 03:31:51,000 --> 03:31:58,000 As often happens in extra inning ball games these batting orders are a little bit jumbled. 1966 03:31:58,000 --> 03:32:07,000 Here's a swing and a miss, two strikes out to Buccell. 1967 03:32:07,000 --> 03:32:14,000 The batter is now in shadow and pitcher is still in the bright sunlight. 1968 03:32:14,000 --> 03:32:19,000 Here's a pitch in there for a strike three. Strikeout, consecutive strikeout. 1969 03:32:19,000 --> 03:32:42,000 Will and Cisco and Lou Brock is coming up. Brock batted for Nelson Matthews in the top of the tenth and Carl Willis struck him out. 1970 03:32:42,000 --> 03:32:49,000 Pitch put on and missed, breaking ball. 1971 03:32:49,000 --> 03:32:56,000 We're in the top half of the thirteenth inning. Score tied, four-four. 1972 03:32:56,000 --> 03:33:03,000 Swing and a miss, two strikes out to Lou Brock. Ernie Banks is now on deck for the Cubs. 1973 03:33:03,000 --> 03:33:08,000 Cubs started the day only three games out of first place and the National League standing. 1974 03:33:08,000 --> 03:33:14,000 Two strike pitch, breaking ball, put on and missed and Galen Fisco has struck out the side. 1975 03:33:14,000 --> 03:33:19,000 As we had her, Buccell and Brock on strike and in the top of the thirteenth. 1976 03:33:19,000 --> 03:33:24,000 The Cubs got no runs, no hits, no errors, none left at the end of twelve and a half innings. 1977 03:33:24,000 --> 03:33:28,000 It's the Mets four, the Cubs four. 1978 03:33:28,000 --> 03:33:34,000 For the Chicago Cubs and Ellis Burton is going out of the ball game heading for the clubhouse steps. 1979 03:33:34,000 --> 03:33:52,000 Dan Landis now signaling up to Jack Lee, the public address announcer here, to announce Landrum in center field. 1980 03:33:52,000 --> 03:34:06,000 In the bottom of the thirteenth inning, the New York Mets will send up Frank Thomas. 1981 03:34:06,000 --> 03:34:12,000 Frank had a big two-run homer for the Mets in the bottom of the sixth and he had a single in the eighth that drove him to tying run. 1982 03:34:12,000 --> 03:34:15,000 He also had a single in the second. 1983 03:34:15,000 --> 03:34:18,000 Landrum is the seventeenth Chicago Cubs in the ball game. 1984 03:34:18,000 --> 03:34:22,000 He's a swing and a drive and the left field is going to be in there for a base hit for Frank Thomas. 1985 03:34:22,000 --> 03:34:24,000 Loved by Billy Williams, he plays it in. 1986 03:34:24,000 --> 03:34:29,000 Thomas turns and holds with his fourth base hit of the day. 1987 03:34:29,000 --> 03:34:32,000 As the Mets open up the bottom of the thirteenth with a base hit. 1988 03:34:32,000 --> 03:34:37,000 Now the Cubs have to defend against the possibility of a sacrifice and Ernie Banks calls time. 1989 03:34:37,000 --> 03:34:45,000 Come over and get checked out with pitcher Jack Warner on how they're going to play a possible bunt. 1990 03:34:45,000 --> 03:34:51,000 Frank Thomas in a hot streak right now with four base hits today, four for six. 1991 03:34:51,000 --> 03:34:56,000 Frank has that batting average up to 262. 1992 03:34:56,000 --> 03:34:58,000 Sammy Taylor is the batter, left-hand batter. 1993 03:34:58,000 --> 03:35:01,000 Ron Panto in on the edge of the grad. 1994 03:35:01,000 --> 03:35:05,000 Here's a swing and a little number down the first base line of foul ball, glove by Ernie Banks. 1995 03:35:05,000 --> 03:35:08,000 There was no bunt, it was a full swing. 1996 03:35:08,000 --> 03:35:14,000 Jim Brewer, a left-hander up and throwing in the bullpen for the Chicago Cubs. 1997 03:35:14,000 --> 03:35:19,000 Jim Harkness is on deck for the Mets. 1998 03:35:19,000 --> 03:35:28,000 Thirty-seven ball players have been used in this ball game so far. 1999 03:35:28,000 --> 03:35:37,000 Jack Warner into the stretch. 2000 03:35:37,000 --> 03:35:39,000 Here's a swing and a high fly ball to the left field. 2001 03:35:39,000 --> 03:35:43,000 Billy Williams moves over, looks up into the side, he has it lined up and he makes the catch. 2002 03:35:43,000 --> 03:35:49,000 Thomas tags it first and moves a couple of sets, but that's all, he holds it first base. 2003 03:35:49,000 --> 03:35:58,000 That brings up Jim Harkness, single in the second and doubled in the 11th. 2004 03:35:58,000 --> 03:36:12,000 Mets have four runs on 11 hits.

I'd rather warn her, up and set. 2006 03:36:15,000 --> 03:36:18,000 Here's a swing and a ground ball that's going to go through for a base hit. 2007 03:36:18,000 --> 03:36:22,000 Frank Thomas, round second, hits for third, block up for the ball, he plays it to second base. 2008 03:36:22,000 --> 03:36:27,000 Thomas pulls in safely at third and Jim Harkness is on with the ground, single to right. 2009 03:36:27,000 --> 03:36:36,000 That will bring up Charlie Neal, who runs it first and third and one man out. 2010 03:36:36,000 --> 03:36:40,000 That's the third hit of the afternoon for Jim Harkness, a ground, single to right. 2011 03:36:40,000 --> 03:36:47,000 Off Jack Warner. 2012 03:36:47,000 --> 03:36:53,000 Charlie Neal has been up five times without a hit today. 2013 03:36:53,000 --> 03:36:59,000 He has one long fly ball out to left field, he had one line dry out to center field. 2014 03:36:59,000 --> 03:37:05,000 Either one of those duplicated right here in this situation would win the ball game for the New York Mets, as they have. 2015 03:37:05,000 --> 03:37:10,000 So such a winning run at third base with one man out. 2016 03:37:10,000 --> 03:37:16,000 Frank Thomas talking things over the cookie lava jetto, the coach's third. 2017 03:37:16,000 --> 03:37:29,000 And now Stan Landis signals out to Tom Garman to signal down to a group of Mets fans in left field to get the banner off the left field fence so they just hold it back about a foot. 2018 03:37:29,000 --> 03:37:35,000 The Chicago Cubs of course bring the MPL in here and they're going to put Charlie Neal on. 2019 03:37:35,000 --> 03:37:44,000 He is being intentionally passed. Charlie Neal is being intentionally passed with Chico Fernandez in the on deck circle. 2020 03:37:44,000 --> 03:37:53,000 What they want to do of course is shut up and play at every base here. 2021 03:37:53,000 --> 03:38:00,000 That is ball three to Charlie Neal being intentionally walked. Warner is set and here is ball four. 2022 03:38:00,000 --> 03:38:07,000 So Neal goes down to first, that will move Harkness to second. Thomas is at third, Fernandez is coming up. 2023 03:38:07,000 --> 03:38:16,000 One man out. 2024 03:38:16,000 --> 03:38:26,000 The Chicago Cubs are playing the in field and the out field in of course because the man they were divided Frank Thomas, the runner at third. 2025 03:38:26,000 --> 03:38:30,000 Warner turns to work straight away. 2026 03:38:30,000 --> 03:38:35,000 We're in the bottom half of the third team now walking out in front of the plate. 2027 03:38:35,000 --> 03:38:41,000 Galen Cisco due up next for the New York Mets. 2028 03:38:41,000 --> 03:38:50,000 Great tell now fires the ball back on out to Jack Warner. Cubs still playing a defensive alignment of in field and an out field end. 2029 03:38:50,000 --> 03:38:56,000 No point playing the out field deep because if it is deep Thomas could tag and score anyway. 2030 03:38:56,000 --> 03:39:00,000 They want to try to cut off that one at the plate. 2031 03:39:00,000 --> 03:39:08,000 Now the strike one pitch to Fernandez. It's time for a ball one and one. 2032 03:39:08,000 --> 03:39:15,000 Thomas the base runner at third, Jim Harkness the base runner at second, Charlie Neal the base runner at first. 2033 03:39:15,000 --> 03:39:18,000 Warner getting a sign from Bertell. 2034 03:39:18,000 --> 03:39:20,000 One one pitch. 2035 03:39:20,000 --> 03:39:37,000 Swung on, ball ball to the right side out of play. It's one and two. 2036 03:39:37,000 --> 03:39:45,000 Landis again signaling down and getting one of the special policemen to try to get the banner removed from the left field wall. 2037 03:39:45,000 --> 03:39:47,000 Warner is working the one two pitch. 2038 03:39:47,000 --> 03:39:52,000 Fly on to the ground ball to third. Sando up for the plate of the plate. He's out at the plate at the fourth play there. 2039 03:39:52,000 --> 03:39:53,000 No other play. 2040 03:39:53,000 --> 03:39:55,000 Base is still loaded and two men out. 2041 03:39:55,000 --> 03:40:01,000 No tag necessary at the plate of Sando plays the ground ball to Bertell and time to force Thomas. 2042 03:40:01,000 --> 03:40:05,000 Galen Cisco is going to bat for himself with the bases loaded. 2043 03:40:05,000 --> 03:40:11,000 Because there is no choice. Only pitchers are left. 2044 03:40:11,000 --> 03:40:15,000 Only Craig, McKenzie, Hook and Rowe are left. 2045 03:40:15,000 --> 03:40:28,000 So Galen Cisco will bat for himself here. 2046 03:40:28,000 --> 03:40:37,000 New York Mets with the bases loaded, two men out so that the Cubs can play normal defensive alignment now. 2047 03:40:37,000 --> 03:40:40,000 Warner lines and fires and there's a pitch in there for a called strike. 2048 03:40:40,000 --> 03:40:45,000 There's a pitch fired low. It's one and one. Galen Cisco. 2049 03:40:45,000 --> 03:40:49,000 Kim Harkness is the base runner at third. 2050 03:40:49,000 --> 03:40:56,000 Neal at second.

Hugs it up when it plays over the back end time and the side is retired. 2056 03:41:27,000 --> 03:41:34,000 So ends. The bottom of the 13th and that's got no runs. On two hits, no errors and three left. 2057 03:41:34,000 --> 03:41:40,000 At the end of 13 innings of play, it's the Mets four, the Cubs four. 2058 03:41:40,000 --> 03:41:51,000 He's back at clear saw, his glass is down. He has room and he makes the catch. 2059 03:41:51,000 --> 03:41:54,000 He is batting at 250, a left-hand batter. 2060 03:41:54,000 --> 03:42:01,000 Don is the third center fielder used by the Cubs in this game. Nelson Matthews started. 2061 03:42:01,000 --> 03:42:06,000 Then Ellis Burton was moved from right to center and then Don went in to take Burton's place. 2062 03:42:06,000 --> 03:42:16,000 First pitch to Landrum, a curve ball, a tie for ball one. 2063 03:42:16,000 --> 03:42:23,000 One ball, no strikes. Cisco bearing at the side. He takes one and comes back to the plate with a slider that's low. 2064 03:42:23,000 --> 03:42:38,000 So Gannon is behind 2-0 to Don Landrum with Andre Rogers on deck. 2065 03:42:38,000 --> 03:42:46,000 Pitch back to Landrum outside, ball three. 2066 03:42:46,000 --> 03:42:56,000 Landrum is the 54th man to come to bat for the Cubs. 2067 03:42:56,000 --> 03:43:02,000 And there's a pitch back to the plate for a strike. Make it 55th, just add one more to it. 2068 03:43:02,000 --> 03:43:08,000 Cubs have batted around six times and now Landrum is starting off the seventh time. 2069 03:43:08,000 --> 03:43:11,000 Here's a pitch back to the plate, it's ball four. 2070 03:43:11,000 --> 03:43:19,000 The other Cubs get a baserunner for the first time since the ninth inning when Ron Sano has walked intentionally. 2071 03:43:19,000 --> 03:43:22,000 And with one man out, the batter will be Andre Rogers. 2072 03:43:22,000 --> 03:43:38,000 Rogers has two doubles in the ball game, two walks, a sacrifice, and he has lined out the second. 2073 03:43:38,000 --> 03:43:44,000 Rogers is a right-hand batter and the first pitch to him is a high curve that hangs up two high, ball one. 2074 03:43:44,000 --> 03:43:54,000 Rogers batting 217. 2075 03:43:54,000 --> 03:43:57,000 After Andre Rogers, Billy Williams. 2076 03:43:57,000 --> 03:44:01,000 Cubs four, Mets four, top of the 14th. 2077 03:44:01,000 --> 03:44:04,000 Landrum goes and the pitch is fouled away. 2078 03:44:04,000 --> 03:44:12,000 So on the run and hit play, Landrum returns to first base and the strike count is now one strike in favor of Galen Sisco. 2079 03:44:12,000 --> 03:44:14,000 He also has one ball. 2080 03:44:14,000 --> 03:44:26,000 One-one count. 2081 03:44:26,000 --> 03:44:30,000 Sammy Taylor going out to talk to Galen at the mound. 2082 03:44:30,000 --> 03:44:35,000 Kevin Kenzie still throwing in the bullpen for the Mets. The Mets have used 20 men in the ball game. 2083 03:44:35,000 --> 03:44:40,000 The Cubs have used 17. 2084 03:44:40,000 --> 03:44:49,000 Mets have a day off on the National League schedule tomorrow, but they will be playing a ball game in the International League against their top farm club, Buffalo. 2085 03:44:49,000 --> 03:44:53,000 That game will not be on the radio or television. 2086 03:44:53,000 --> 03:44:57,000 Now time is in. Sammy Taylor back to give the sign. 2087 03:44:57,000 --> 03:45:01,000 Ryan Landrum at first base and the one-one delivery by Galen Sisco. 2088 03:45:01,000 --> 03:45:15,000 A curve ball too low for ball two. 2089 03:45:15,000 --> 03:45:24,000 As Lindsay told you earlier, this is the eighth extra any game for the Mets. They have won three. 2090 03:45:24,000 --> 03:45:31,000 Now Sisco at two-one. Landrum goes and the pitch is hit down to third. It's a foul ball. 2091 03:45:31,000 --> 03:45:35,000 Throw to first base beats Andre Rogers, but Tom Gorman gave the call foul. 2092 03:45:35,000 --> 03:45:46,000 The ball was in fair territory just before it reached the bag, but then it kicked off and went foul before getting to the bag, and the cat now has two and two on Rogers. 2093 03:45:46,000 --> 03:46:05,000 Returning to first base, Don Landrum, Mets have won out here in the 14th, a score tied 4-4. 2094 03:46:05,000 --> 03:46:10,000 Hard to figure out whether that was a good break or not, the ball going foul, because Neal did get his man at first, 2095 03:46:10,000 --> 03:46:18,000 but the Cubs moved Landrum down, if the play had been fair, to second base where he could score on a base hit by the next batter. 2096 03:46:18,000 --> 03:46:26,000 Now two-two. Landrum goes again and there's a fly ball to right field. Moving over is the right fielder, Jim Heckman, and he makes the catch. 2097 03:46:26,000 --> 03:46:34,000 Returning to first base is Don Landrum. Two men out and the batter is Billy Williams. 2098 03:46:34,000 --> 03:46:41,000 Billy Williams is all for six in the game. He has scored one run. The Cubs scored one run in the first inning. 2099 03:46:41,000 --> 03:46:47,000 The run was unearned. They added one more in the second win, Burton Homer, to make it 2-0. 2100 03:46:47,000 --> 03:46:51,000 They added two more in the fifth for their total of four. 2101 03:46:51,000 --> 03:47:03,000 The Cubs have scored two earned runs in the game. The Mets tied the ball game up after scoring three in the sixth on a base hit by Frank Thomas in the eighth inning. 2102 03:47:03,000 --> 03:47:15,000 Frank has had a big day here today. Four hits and six times up. He has a home run, one of the four hits, and he has driven in four runs, I should say three runs of the four. 2103 03:47:15,000 --> 03:47:20,000 Now with two out the batter, Billy Williams, in the first base hit. Williams hit the left field. It's going to be a base hit. 2104 03:47:20,000 --> 03:47:26,000 Coming over is Thomas. He can't get to it. The ball goes on by, and coming around from first base, the score is Don Landrum. 2105 03:47:26,000 --> 03:47:30,000 The ball off the wall. Williams is going to make it inside the park, a home run. 2106 03:47:30,000 --> 03:47:37,000 Here comes a throw in by Frank Thomas, and Billy Williams has it inside the park, home run. 2107 03:47:37,000 --> 03:47:49,000 Frank Thomas elected to try to get to that ball in the air. He misjudged the ball. The ball hit in front of him. He had no chance to block it, and then bounced against the wall and rolled out the left center field. 2108 03:47:49,000 --> 03:47:58,000 Jimmy Pearsaw, the center fielder, did not get over to pick it up, and Williams has it inside the park, home run, and the Cubs lead 6-4. 2109 03:47:58,000 --> 03:48:04,000 While the two men out, Thomas took a chance to get to it, and it caused the mess. 2110 03:48:04,000 --> 03:48:14,000 That is home run number 11 for Bill Williams. His 43rd run batted him in the season, and the batter now is Ron Sano, and he takes the pitch for strike one. 2111 03:48:14,000 --> 03:48:20,000 That base hit, the first base hit in the ball game, and 8-2 third's inning for the Chicago Cubs. 2112 03:48:20,000 --> 03:48:28,000 Met pictures had given up no hits for 8-2 third's innings in relief. Here's the pitch back to Sano at ball one. One ball, one strike. 2113 03:48:28,000 --> 03:48:33,000 Larry Bernard worked two innings without giving up a hit. Stollard worked two, one inning without giving up a hit. 2114 03:48:33,000 --> 03:48:39,000 Lilley worked two innings without giving up a hit. And Cisco worked two and two-thirds innings without giving up a hit. 2115 03:48:39,000 --> 03:48:46,000 Here's the pitch back, a foul tip for strike two. 2116 03:48:46,000 --> 03:48:55,000 Cubs with two runs here in the 14th inning lead now 6-4. 2117 03:48:55,000 --> 03:49:01,000 And Cisco back to work, and he throws a strike call right across the outside corner to retire the side. 2118 03:49:01,000 --> 03:49:07,000 Fourth strikeout for Jalen Cisco, but the Cubs take the lead. They scored two runs on one hit. 2119 03:49:07,000 --> 03:49:15,000 There were no errors, and the score at the end, 13 and one-half innings of play. The Cubs 6, the New York Mets 4. 2120 03:49:15,000 --> 03:49:19,000 Coming to bat is Jim Hickman. Mets need two to tie. 2121 03:49:19,000 --> 03:49:24,000 Actually, the Mets pitchers had nine complete innings without giving up a hit. 2122 03:49:24,000 --> 03:49:28,000 There's the first pitch to Hickman, lying to right field, a base hit. 2123 03:49:28,000 --> 03:49:42,000 So Jim gets his first hit of the ball game, and the Mets now have the time run coming to the plate, Ron Hunt. 2124 03:49:42,000 --> 03:49:52,000 Jack Warner on the mound now looking out at the bullpen. Jim Brewer warming up the left-hander for the cut. 2125 03:49:52,000 --> 03:50:01,000 Warner came in the game in the ninth inning with two men out. 2126 03:50:01,000 --> 03:50:08,000 Ron Hunt's the batter, Ron a right-hand batter, and he has one hit and six drives up. 2127 03:50:08,000 --> 03:50:13,000 For the first pitch is lying to right field, a base hit. Jim Hickman rounds in second and holds. 2128 03:50:13,000 --> 03:50:18,000 The Mets now have runners at first pitch. Second and now Hickman is going at it's second base. 2129 03:50:18,000 --> 03:50:33,000 Hickman rounded too far around second base, and Lou Brock in right field picked the ball up, fired at the second base, and Hickman is out. 2130 03:50:33,000 --> 03:50:59,000 The Cavs with a fine play by Lou Brock have one man out, and the batter coming up for the Mets is Jimmy Fearsall. 2131 03:50:59,000 --> 03:51:06,000 Jimmy batting for the second time. He walked his first time up, and the first pitch to him is ball one, a curve ball. 2132 03:51:06,000 --> 03:51:15,000 Mets have had all kinds of opportunities to score next to their innings. They left two on in the ninth, one on the tenth, one on the eleventh, three on in the thirteenth. 2133 03:51:15,000 --> 03:51:25,000 And here's the pitch back to Fearsall. It's a ball, fastball outside. Two balls and no strikes. 2134 03:51:25,000 --> 03:51:32,000 Paul Toth, the right-hander now throwing alongside of Jim Brewer, left-hander. 2135 03:51:32,000 --> 03:51:39,000 The Cubs working in the bullpen. Mets with the time right at the plate. Score six to four in favor of the Cubs. 2136 03:51:39,000 --> 03:51:58,000 There's a swing and a fastball thrown to first base, but Hunt gets back. Two balls and one strike. 2137 03:51:58,000 --> 03:52:19,000 Now Jack Warner comes back low and outside for ball three. Three balls and one strike. The on-deck batter is Frank Thomas. 2138 03:52:19,000 --> 03:52:24,000 Jack Warner in the first position, and the pitch back to the plate is outside ball four. 2139 03:52:24,000 --> 03:52:31,000 Now the Mets have runners at first and second base, and Frank Thomas coming up. 2140 03:52:31,000 --> 03:52:40,000 Runners at first and second base, and now Bob Kennedy coming to the mound. 2141 03:52:40,000 --> 03:52:46,000 Bob Kennedy to the mound. Jack Warner. 2142 03:52:46,000 --> 03:52:51,000 The pitcher in the ball game and still throwing in the bullpen is Paul Toth, the right-hander. 2143 03:52:51,000 --> 03:52:56,000 Now the sign goes out. The right-hander, Paul Toth, will be coming in the game. 2144 03:52:56,000 --> 03:53:00,000 Jack Warner in his first start in the Major Leagues has done quite a job. 2145 03:53:00,000 --> 03:53:03,000 He came in the ball game in the ninth inning with two men out. 2146 03:53:03,000 --> 03:53:09,000 There were two men on, second and third. The Mets with a chance to win the game, and Warner struck out Jim Hickman. 2147 03:53:09,000 --> 03:53:12,000 He worked the tenth inning giving up one hit to Duke Snyder. 2148 03:53:12,000 --> 03:53:17,000 In the eleventh inning, Tim Harkness doubled the sassy inning off, but Warner left him there. 2149 03:53:17,000 --> 03:53:25,000 In the twelfth inning, he got the Mets one, two, three. In the thirteenth, the Mets had runners on all the bases. 2150 03:53:25,000 --> 03:53:34,000 The bases loaded on two hits in a walk, and Warner got his final out as he got Game in Cisco on a ground ball to second base. 2151 03:53:34,000 --> 03:53:37,000 Here in the fourteenth inning, Jim Hickman let off with a single. 2152 03:53:37,000 --> 03:53:43,000 He moved to second base when Ron Hunt singled the right, but then Jim, in taking too big of a turn at second base, 2153 03:53:43,000 --> 03:53:46,000 was thrown out by the right fielder, Lou Brock. 2154 03:53:46,000 --> 03:53:54,000 Now after walking Jimmy Pearsall and moving Ron Hunt on down to second base, Warner is going out of the game, and Paul Toth is coming in. 2155 03:54:06,000 --> 03:54:12,000 Warner, in working four and two-thirds innings, has given up no runs so far. 2156 03:54:12,000 --> 03:54:18,000 He allowed six bases, he struck out one and he walked four. Two of the walks intentional. 2157 03:54:18,000 --> 03:54:25,000 Paul Toth is the sixth pitcher used in the game by Bob Kennedy. Bob Buell, the starting pitcher, wins six innings. 2158 03:54:25,000 --> 03:54:27,000 Then Don Elston, who worked one and two-thirds. 2159 03:54:27,000 --> 03:54:29,000 Lenny McDaniel, who worked one-third. 2160 03:54:29,000 --> 03:54:31,000 Dick LeMay, who worked two-thirds. 2161 03:54:31,000 --> 03:54:47,000 And Jack Warner, who worked four and two-thirds. 2162 03:54:47,000 --> 03:54:52,000 Paul Toth, the right-hander, has a record of one win and four losses. 2163 03:54:52,000 --> 03:54:55,000 This is his twelfth appearance. 2164 03:54:55,000 --> 03:55:02,000 He has appeared against the Mets one other time. That was on April 24th. 2165 03:55:02,000 --> 03:55:14,000 He was not involved in the decision. He came in in relief and worked three innings, giving up no runs and no hits. 2166 03:55:14,000 --> 03:55:22,000 Toth was acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals in a trade that sent Harvey Branch to the Cardinals. 2167 03:55:22,000 --> 03:55:31,000 And now Toth completes his warm-up pitches. The Mets were runners at first and second, the time run at first base, and Frank Thomas coming to bat. 2168 03:55:31,000 --> 03:55:39,000 Frank has singled, homered, singled, and singled. He is four for six. 2169 03:55:39,000 --> 03:55:50,000 Frank has driven in three runs, but his play in the top of the fourteenth inning, the play that set up two runs for the Cubs and they took the lead. 2170 03:55:50,000 --> 03:55:54,000 Frank elected with two men out to try to make a tough catch and a ball over by the ball. 2171 03:55:54,000 --> 03:56:00,000 They couldn't get to the ball, and the ball went through for an inside-the-park homerun, two runs scoring. 2172 03:56:00,000 --> 03:56:09,000 Now the pitch to Frank Thomas, a curveball outside for ball one. 2173 03:56:09,000 --> 03:56:18,000 Well, we've seen just about everything in this game here today, and I guess we've been seeing it quite often, but this has been a real thriller. 2174 03:56:18,000 --> 03:56:24,000 Now Toth sets and comes back to Thomas. There's a ball hit high in the air to shallow left. 2175 03:56:24,000 --> 03:56:29,000 Coming back in is Billy Williams, a long run. He's still running and he makes the catch. 2176 03:56:29,000 --> 03:56:33,000 Going back to second base is Ron Hunt, and back to first Jimmy Fearsall. 2177 03:56:33,000 --> 03:56:46,000 Two men out now for the Cubs, and Sammy Taylor comes up. 2178 03:56:46,000 --> 03:56:52,000 Sammy has no base hits in the game. He is 0-6, left hand batter. 2179 03:56:52,000 --> 03:57:18,000 Met with two outs in the bottom half of the 14th inning. Cubs lead 6-4. 2180 03:57:18,000 --> 03:57:23,000 Sammy Taylor in the batter's box. Now here comes Bob Kennedy out to the mound again. 2181 03:57:23,000 --> 03:57:29,000 He has the left-hander warming up, Jim Brewer, and there's a sign out. He's going to bring in Jim Brewer to pitch to Sammy Taylor. 2182 03:57:29,000 --> 03:57:32,000 The Mets have no pinch hitters. They have used 20 men in this ball game. 2183 03:57:32,000 --> 03:57:39,000 The only men left on the bench are pitchers, Roger Craig, Ken McKenzie, Jay Hook, and Don Rall. 2184 03:57:39,000 --> 03:57:45,000 So Sammy Taylor will bat against the left-hand pitcher coming in, Jim Brewer. 2185 03:57:45,000 --> 03:57:51,000 Officially, Paul Toltz worked one-third of an inning. 2186 03:57:51,000 --> 03:57:59,000 He pitched to one batter, getting Frank Thomas to fly out the left field. 2187 03:57:59,000 --> 03:58:05,000 Brewer now the 19th man used by the Cubs in this game. A total of 39 men used in the ball game. 2188 03:58:05,000 --> 03:58:09,000 And while Brewer walks in, we'll have Lindsey bring you up to date of the schedule. 2189 03:58:09,000 --> 03:58:21,000 Head Coach Bob Kennedy is starting on back toward the dugout area, and Brewer now is checking with Ron Santo before starting his warm-up tosses. 2190 03:58:21,000 --> 03:58:27,000 And as he starts to get warmed up, coming back in here once again is Ralph Kiner. 2191 03:58:27,000 --> 03:58:32,000 Okay, Lindsey, the seventh pitcher, pitcher used in the ball game by Bob Kennedy. 2192 03:58:32,000 --> 03:58:37,000 Jim Brewer now taking his warm-up pitches. He has a record of two wins and one loss. 2193 03:58:37,000 --> 03:58:43,000 This is his 13th appearance. He has not appeared against the Mets so far this year. 2194 03:58:43,000 --> 03:58:51,000 Jim is 25 from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. 1962 against the Mets, he won none and lost one. 2195 03:58:51,000 --> 03:59:01,000 He's a fellow, if you recall, was a victim of a line punch by Billy Williams, not Pilly Williams, Billy Martin, 2196 03:59:01,000 --> 03:59:05,000 in a little knockdown, Frank, I guess, in Chicago a few years back. 2197 03:59:05,000 --> 03:59:10,000 Brewer was put out of action by Billy Martin. 2198 03:59:10,000 --> 03:59:18,000 Okay, it's Sammy Taylor. He represents the go-ahead run in the first pitch in the ball game to Sammy Taylor by Jim Brewer, 2199 03:59:18,000 --> 03:59:24,000 is outside for ball one at curveball. Mets have the time run at first base, the winning run at home plate. 2200 03:59:24,000 --> 03:59:30,000 Cubs have two men out in the bottom half of the 14th. We're right down to the end of the line. 2201 03:59:30,000 --> 03:59:37,000 And I'll be warming up on the bullpen now for the cut. Here's the 1-0 pitch. It's low for ball two. 2202 03:59:37,000 --> 03:59:43,000 Ball in the dirt dug out by Dick Bertell. Ron Hunt at second base. 2203 03:59:43,000 --> 03:59:55,000 Now Ernie Banks digging in in back of Jimmy Pearsaw. Pearsaw puts on a little act. 2204 03:59:55,000 --> 04:00:04,000 Two balls, no strikes. 2205 04:00:04,000 --> 04:00:08,000 Brewer takes the stretch position and comes back low for ball three. 2206 04:00:08,000 --> 04:00:25,000 So it's three and all. Brewer one pitch away from holding up the bases. The on-dick batter is Tim Harkness. 2207 04:00:25,000 --> 04:00:36,000 Brewer is set. Banks again behind Pearsaw. Here's a pitch to the plate, a fastball through for strike one. 2208 04:00:36,000 --> 04:00:41,000 Cubs, after being shut out and kept hitless for nine innings by New York Mets pitchers, 2209 04:00:41,000 --> 04:00:46,000 scored two runs in the top of the 14th to take the lead six to four. 2210 04:00:46,000 --> 04:00:52,000 Now the pitch back to Sammy Taylor outside. Ball four and the bases are loaded. 2211 04:00:52,000 --> 04:01:00,000 Moving to third base, Ron Hunt, the second base, the time run Jimmy Pearsaw, the first base on the walk by Jim Brewer, Sammy Taylor. 2212 04:01:00,000 --> 04:01:17,000 The winning run at first base and the batter is Tim Harkness. 2213 04:01:17,000 --> 04:01:22,000 Tim has three hits in the game. His last two times up he has doubled and singles. 2214 04:01:22,000 --> 04:01:32,000 Most times he was left on base as the Mets could not get any runs across from the eighth inning until right now here in the bottom of the 14th. 2215 04:01:32,000 --> 04:01:39,000 Cubs have two men out. 2216 04:01:39,000 --> 04:01:43,000 Harkness to the left and batter. 2217 04:01:43,000 --> 04:02:06,000 And here's the windup in the pitch. Fastball fouled back over by the dugout, the ball going out of play. 2218 04:02:06,000 --> 04:02:17,000 Now Brewer in the windup of the one strike pitch inside. One ball, one strike. 2219 04:02:17,000 --> 04:02:21,000 Mets with the bases loaded. 2220 04:02:21,000 --> 04:02:24,000 Bottom half of the 14th. Here's the pitch. 2221 04:02:24,000 --> 04:02:27,000 And it's taken all for ball two. 2222 04:02:27,000 --> 04:02:30,000 Two balls, one strike. 2223 04:02:30,000 --> 04:02:40,000 The on deck batter is Charlie Neal. 2224 04:02:40,000 --> 04:02:47,000 Now Brewer into the windup and the pitch backs it. Harkness one on a miss for strike two. 2225 04:02:47,000 --> 04:02:56,000 Saw it down to two balls and two strikes. 2226 04:02:56,000 --> 04:03:05,000 Mets have had two base hits and two walks in this inning but they have not scored. 2227 04:03:05,000 --> 04:03:13,000 Now Brewer at two-two. The pitch to Harkness. It's low, ball three. And now the ball game is all the way down the line. 2228 04:03:13,000 --> 04:03:21,000 And the catcher now, Dick Fritel, arguing very vehemently. 2229 04:03:21,000 --> 04:03:33,000 Fritel with a strong protest on the call. A count, three balls and two strikes. 2230 04:03:33,000 --> 04:03:42,000 Three balls and two strikes. The runners will be going. Two men out. Bottom half of the 14th. The Mets need two to tie. 2231 04:03:42,000 --> 04:03:45,000 Here's the stretch position. And the pitch. 2232 04:03:45,000 --> 04:03:51,000 Fastball to Whitetail, keeps the Whitetail way back there. It's going to go all the way. A home run. 2233 04:04:15,000 --> 04:04:26,000 Jim Harkness with a grand slam home run to give the Mets the win by a score of eight to six. 2234 04:04:26,000 --> 04:04:34,000 That grand slammer coming with two men out. The bases loaded. The count, three and zero. And the Mets win it. 2235 04:04:34,000 --> 04:04:41,000 Harkness with his first grand slam home run in his career to give the Mets the win by a score of eight to six. 2236 04:04:41,000 --> 04:04:46,000 We'll be back with a recap of the action in just one minute. How game the Mets have played in their history. 2237 04:04:46,000 --> 04:04:51,000 The Mets winning the ball game on a grand slam home run in the 14th inning with two men out. 2238 04:04:51,000 --> 04:04:56,000 And here to tell you about it and to bring you up to date on the back way is Lindsey Nelson. 2239 04:04:56,000 --> 04:05:00,000 All right, Rascotti. It was a 3-2 pitch hit by Tim Harkness with the bases loaded. 2240 04:05:00,000 --> 04:05:07,000 Two men out in the bottom half of the 14th inning. And he drilled it into the lower attack way out near the bullpen area. 2241 04:05:07,000 --> 04:05:14,000 For the first grand slammer of his career to give the Mets a come from behind victory over the Chicago Cubs by a score of eight to six. 2242 04:05:14,000 --> 04:05:19,000 The Cubs began the afternoon by getting four runs off Al Jackson who was the Mets starter. 2243 04:05:19,000 --> 04:05:24,000 But the Mets battled back to get four and tied up and sent it into extra innings. 2244 04:05:24,000 --> 04:05:30,000 The Mets pitchers were holding the line all the way as they pitched nine innings of no-hit baseball in relief. 2245 04:05:30,000 --> 04:05:33,000 But the Mets could not manage to push across the run. 2246 04:05:33,000 --> 04:05:39,000 In the top half of the 14th inning, the Chicago Cubs got two runs when with two men out and a runner on, 2247 04:05:39,000 --> 04:05:47,000 Billy Williams hit an opposite field line drive to left and Frank Thomas elected to try to make a spectacular catch. 2248 04:05:47,000 --> 04:05:52,000 He could not get to the ball. It banged off the wall by him and before the ball could be recovered, 2249 04:05:52,000 --> 04:06:00,000 Williams had circled the bases, scored an inside the park home run, two runs going on to play, and the Cubs were out in front by a score of six to four. 2250 04:06:00,000 --> 04:06:05,000 And then the New York Mets battled back as Jim Hickman opened up the 14th inning with a single. 2251 04:06:05,000 --> 04:06:11,000 Ron Hutt followed with a single, but Hickman took a wide turn at second and was tapped off the bag to dampen the Mets hopes. 2252 04:06:11,000 --> 04:06:13,000 At that point, Jimmy Pearsall drew a walk. 2253 04:06:13,000 --> 04:06:19,000 Paul Tostes brought in to pitch to Frank Thomas, fly to left, and then Jim Brewer was brought in. 2254 04:06:19,000 --> 04:06:21,000 Sammy Taylor drew a walk to load up the bases. 2255 04:06:21,000 --> 04:06:27,000 And on a 3-2 pitch with runners moving, two men out, Harkness hit his grand slam home run. 2256 04:06:27,000 --> 04:06:34,000 And the final totals for the New York Mets, eight runs on 15 hits and three errors for the Cubs, six runs on eight hits and no errors. 2257 04:06:34,000 --> 04:06:39,000 The winner is Galen Sisco. He's won four and lost six. The loser is Brewer. He's won two and lost two. 2258 04:06:39,000 --> 04:06:46,000 They've had 20 men in the ball game. It was the longest ball game of this season, 14 innings here. 2259 04:06:46,000 --> 04:06:53,000 It was the 22nd win at home for the New York Mets, and that's exactly how many they won here at the Polo grounds last year. 2260 04:06:53,000 --> 04:06:57,000 All of last year they won only 22. Already they've won 22 this year. 2261 04:06:57,000 --> 04:07:01,000 The fans are now gathered under the clubhouse windows in Sunner Field, 2262 04:07:01,000 --> 04:07:26,000 and there's undoubtedly shelling for Timmy Harkness, the hero of the day.
