Hi everybody, welcome to New York Yankee Baseball. I'm Phil Rizzotto along with Bill White, Frank Messer, and John Gordon.
As the Yankees play the final game of this four game series with the Red Sox, the Red Sox have won two of the first three games.
And the Yankees will have Dave Rigetti going today against John Cudor.
And we'll be back with the starting lineups right after this.
They say a rainbow is a fleeting thing, but not when you capture it on Kodacolor2 film from Kodak.
Capture all the colors in the rainbow. Radiant colors that nature can make fall.
Reds and silas, blue sky above. There's a film to capture all the stories it tells.
Oh yeah, you know it's true. A great American storyteller is Kodak and you.
Look at this shot I got of a double rainbow over a waterfall.
Incredible. That's what I call vivid color. That's what I call color from Kodakolor2 film.
Kodak, Kodakolor3. A great American storyteller is Kodakolor2.
For color just the way you remember it, get Kodakolor2 film.
For every kind of picture, Kodak has the right kind of film.
Oh yeah, you know it's true.
Kendall Motor Oil. The oil of racing champions Don Garless, Early Haywood, and the choice of Dick...Page?
Who's Dick Page?
That's me.
But you're not.
No, I don't race. But I've got a big investment in my car.
And I protect it with Kendall Superb 100 Gasoline Saving Motor Oil.
Keeps my car running smooth and helps save gas.
Protect your investment with Kendall confidence.
Kendall Superb 100 is available at all R&S straw stores.
I've been telling you a lot lately about Yankee's Franks. The great Franks you enjoy at Yankee Stadium.
You know you can get Yankee's Franks at your local supermarket.
And you know they're made by Colonial who have been famous for Colonial quality for over 50 years.
Well, do you know that you get the same great quality in Colonial bacon?
It's better tasting, leaner bacon that cooks up with the same great quality in every single slice.
So if you like Yankee's Franks, try Colonial bacon.
It's better bacon just like Colonial. Yankee's Franks are the best Franks you can buy.

Well, here are the starting lineups for today's game.
For the Boston Red Sox, Jerry Remy leads off at second base.
Batting second playing third, Wade Boggs.
Jim Rice in left field, batting in the third spot.
The cleanup batter in center field, Tony Armott.
Dwight Evans will be in right field batting fifth.
The designated hitter batting sixth, Reed Nichols.
Dave Stapleton will be at first base batting seventh.
Doing the catching and batting eighth, Jeff Newman.
And the shortstop batting ninth, Glenn Hoffman.
And as we told you on the mound, the left hander, John Cudar.
For the New York Yankees, there's been a change in the Yankees' starting lineup.
Bert Campanaris will lead off playing third.
Greg Nettles, who is scheduled to play in bat second, has come up with conjunctivitis,
also known as Pachy.
So Greg will not be playing today.
Don Mattingly will be at first base and bat second.
In center field, batting third, Dave Winfield.
So Winfield will be playing center today.
Lou Pennella will be in left field batting cleanup.
The designated hitter batting fifth, Don Baylor.
Which one are you going to do in the catching and batting sixth?
In right field, back in action again, batting seventh, Steve Kemp.
Roy Smalley will be the shortstop batting eighth.
And at second base, batting ninth, Andre Robinson.
And on the mound for the New York Yankees will be Dave Rigetti.
Rigetti has won nine, lost three, with a 3.53 earned run average.
So the Yankees right now are two and a half games behind the league-leading Toronto Blue Jays.
Toronto continues to play excellent ball, even though they were beaten by Seattle yesterday.
But Toronto is a game ahead of Baltimore, two ahead of Detroit, two and a half ahead of the Yankees, and the Red Sox.
Our four behind, Milwaukee Five and Cleveland, nine and a half.
By the way, today's color guard is from the United States Navy ship USS McCandless.
And the national anthem is going to be played by the Jazz Great and our buddy Chuck Mangione and five members of the Other People Parachute Team.
They'll bring the Stars and Stripes into center field as the anthem concludes, and that should be a glorious sight.
Watching those parachuters come down.
And another very warm day here at Yankee Stadium.
Bill White looks like he's got some scores over there.
That should be interesting.
Well, first, Scooter, the Yankee scoreboard is always brought to you by members only,
members of Outerwear and Spectatorwear. In the American League, only two games going at this point.
Chicago leading Minnesota two to nothing after one, and the Tigers leading Baltimore three to nothing after one and a half.
That ballgame being played in Tiger Town in the next, the late demonstrate Philadelphia for a night game.
In the first of two, it's Pittsburgh seven, the Cardinals two after seven.
That ballgame had been delayed by rain for 43 minutes, and Montreal is leading Chicago four to nothing after three.
That's also the first field with a doubleheader.
And those are all the scores that we have as of now.
The Yankee scoreboard has been brought to you by members only.
You're in great company when you put on members only Outerwear and Spectatorwear.
You have the style, the fit, and the colors that go anywhere, anytime.
With members only, the company you keep is the best there is.
All right, William, thank you. And so we'll not interfere with the game.
It's time for a few birthdays.
Yes, it is. Becky Siegel, the mother of Al Siegel, who worked at the press cape in here many years,
celebrating her 96th birthday at the Hebrew home for the agent at Riverdale.
Happy birthday, Becky. How about this? I thought Becky was old in 96.
Jeanette Blymac makes that 99th birthday.
Whose grandmother is that?
Henry Blymac, Blymac's grandmother.
Wow, that's two good ones. On the 4th of July, I hope we get George Steinbrenner's birthday today.
Happy birthday, George, wherever you might be.
And by the way, tonight Yankee Doodle Dandy is going to be on with Jimmy Cagney.
Don't miss that one. Here's a very unusual one.
These people are from Liberia, South Africa.
And they are sports fans.
They have a little boy, and he was outside, I had my picture taken with him.
His name is Augustiniak, that's after Mike Augustiniak of the Jets.
They're a football player. Augustiniak Scooter Collins.
And he was born on my birthday, September 25th, 1983.
You know, he couldn't have been born then. He had to be born on 1982.
But that's very unusual. Cute little kid, had my picture taken.
Mother says he looks just like you, Felt, which was very nice.
Also, now we go to some younger people.
Happy birthday to Laney Savage, 12 years old, from Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
And also, I was supposed to do this on television, but I'm not going to be on TV today.
Bruce Dalton, who is the slow-mo man, cameraman.
Maybe Bill White can do that later.
That was a special request by Don Carney, by the way.
On a day like this, he says, I don't care how many birthdays you do.
Got a couple extras there. Bill got time.
Wally Lewicki is 14 today.
He's the son of one of the paramedics with the Yonkers Police Force.
Happy birthday, Wally.
Jimmy Miali is recovering from spinal surgery at the Westchester County Medical Center.
And, wait a minute, the parachutists, everybody looking up, looks like the parachutists are coming in.
The brain birthday greetings.
They've probably got a couple more for me.
Where are they looking over? I hope they don't miss Yankee Stadium. That's the other people parachute team.
Will be flying in.
And I don't blame everybody for looking up. You know, this area, this is not a big landing area.
And let's turn it over to Bob Shepard.
Great job by Chuck Mangione.
This is standing ovation for Chuck. And we'll be back right after this.
Hey, you know what? What?
Charlie Brown and the gang will be camping out at McDonald's this summer.
You mean Snoopy will be sleeping on the roof between the Golden Actions?
Not exactly. You see, the camping adventures of the whole Peanuts gang have been captured on five 16-ounce Camp Snoopy glasses, especially designed by Charles Shultz.
Ooh, pretty colors. I wonder if adults can go to Camp Snoopy.
I don't see why not. If you hurry and get started, you can collect a whole set of glasses.
Well, could you agree?
I will.
Could agree.
Yeah.
I don't know why you say that.
I never had a reason to say it.
There'll be a different glass each week.
Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Woodstock.
Yes, Snoopy.
Yes.
Snoopy, but he's not sleeping on the roof of a town.
No, he's not sleeping.
Well, this is the first week of camp for the Peanuts gang, and already Charlie Brown wants to go home.
So come to McDonald's and buy a Camp Snoopy glass for 59 cents, plus tax with the purchase of a medium or large soft drink and take Charlie Brown home with you.
But you better hurry. Charlie Brown won't stick around too long. Or for good at participating McDonald's while supplies last. Prices may vary.
What's for you? Oh, thinking hard and just working hard all day. So is to you. Oh, you do, you know, think of business.
Oh, you do, you know, think of business.
The crowd screaming as four now five of the other people parachute his team have landed at Yankee Stadium, each one carrying the American flag. I'd say to one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen.
That's a real pose. And really appreciate it. Enjoy that show. Every one of perfect landing as the Yankees take the field.
And I said, you talk about the great way to get festivities off on the Fourth of July. See an old glory coming down underneath the parachute.
The youngsters are packing up their parachutes and carrying them in. Oh, I'd say they better get out of those uniforms. Oh, they got to be very, very hot.
Start for the Fourth of July festivities here. 2094 degrees at game time. I think it's quite a bit more uncomfortable than yesterday. The humidity seems to be a little higher.
Nevertheless, Dave Rigetti is going to have to hang in there. And even this series out, Rigetti has won nine and lost three as we told you.
Looks like you've got to keep the Red Sox off the board at least for the first inning.
They have been jumping on the Yankee starters and getting off to that lead. And the Yankees always playing catch-up baseball, which is very difficult.
So Rigetti will be working to Remy Boggs and Rice here in the top of the first inning. And so far the crowd is disappointing.
But hopefully there's a traffic jam outside and they're having a little trouble getting in.
Well, Dave Rigetti has completed his warm-ups, landing a flip to Robinson and Smalley, to Campanera's back to Rigetti.
We're ready to go. Jerry Remy stepping in the leadoff and ready to lead off for our group, Bill Weiss.
All right, Scooter. Rigetti trying for his temp here this afternoon. He's won nine, lost three. This is the second time he has faced the Red Sox.
He was a loser back on June 24th. He gave up five runs on seven hits and five on third innings. He's pitching to Jerry Remy.
And the ball game is underway. First pitch to Remy. He's the best ball. It's too high. Ball one. Remy batting 249.
No home runs. Twenty-five runs batted in. Campanera shortens up for him at third base and so does batting.
They have first. Rigetti's one-oh pitch to Remy. Swung on this. He's swung on the Yankee outfield.
Panama playing near the line. Left field, left channel. Windfield over toward the left center and also in close. And the right fielder, Steve Kipp, has been in right center.
Ten-flag channel. One-one. Betch to Remy. First ball is called. Throwing two to one and two. Steve Marmos. Home plate outfired.
Rick Green is at first base. Terry Newdek, you're at second base. And now a part over at third. Yod one ball. Pitch strikes on the left hand and hitting to Terry Remy with Wade Fogg from Decker.
Rigetti over the head with the one-two pitch. It's high two and two.
Bill Mitch and the Red Sox have taken two out of the three games played. So far we should probably say Jim Wrights has taken two out of the three games. Four home runs for the big get.
Two-two to Terry Remy. Swung on and fouled back.
And Rigetti gets the base ball. Denny Hills coaching third base for the Red Sox and Tommy Harper coaching at first base.
Final game of this four-game series in the Yankees' final game before the all-star game.
Two-two to Remy. Swung on and fouled back. I forget to screen. Remains two balls and two strikes.
Here's the all-star game at Comiskey Park.
You're playing all-star game there?
Yes. As a matter of fact, I did play an all-star game there.
And that was the year that Ted Williams went back for a round kind of fly ball and broke his elbow, left elbow, leaving it hitting the auxiliary scoreboard out there.
Rigetti, stocked two-fifths to Remy. Swung on and misses. That's a high-flying ball. Terry Remy going to the off-side and scores first down.
Here's a Rigetti. Fans Remy. That'll bring on Wade Muggs.
Yeah, he threw them all fast balls. Bill never went to an off-speed pitch.
That's his 78 strikeout. Rigetti leads the Yankee pitching staff in strikeouts. He has a dark-out 78 now.
Ron Gidra has 65 strikeouts. And Shane Raleigh has dark-out 62. Here's Boggs. He's tough to fan. Batting 361. No homeruns. 34 runs batting in.
And he takes the fast ball. It's too high. Ball one.
On deck is Jim Rice. And he's been a one-man wrecking crew for the Red Sox in this series.
1-0 pitch to Boggs. Breaking ball in there. Ball strike. It's 1-1.
Yeah, Rice has not had a... Well, no homer here is cheap unless you get it right down each line. He's hit him a left center and right center.
1-1 pitch. Check swing inside and high. They check the third base on fire hall, Clark.
And on bill too far, two balls and a strike on Boggs. He's been around here quite a while. You see as many balls fly out...
No, never. This whole year. I can't believe it.
Here's the 2-1 to Boggs. Swung on this one too.
One out, nobody out. No score just underway from the stadium. The Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.
A big Fourth of July giveaway here in the stadium. A lot of Yankee caps.
Here's the 2-2 to Boggs. Ball strike.
And they're two outs.
And here's Jim Rice.
Jim Rice has six bases and 14 times a bat through the first three games. Four of those six bases home runs.
And the fast ball is sliced foul into the seats off the right side. Strike one.
Rice batting 2-99. 22 home runs and 58 runs batted in.
Brigetti working quickly with the one strike pitch and he's high with it one and one.
Rice leads the American League with 22 home runs. And he leads the American League and runs batted in with 58.
Ron Kittle, a fine rookie for the White Sox right behind him in both categories. Kittle has 18 home runs and 55 runs batted in.
Ball is fouled off right side. It's short of the upper deck. One and two on Jim Rice.
Brigetti's challenging everybody with that fast ball. He threw one breaking pitch to Boggs. That's all, buddy.
Side up Rice on two good fast balls.
Brigetti gets struck out for first two and has one ball to strike out on Rice.
He gets a sign. Keeps the deals one-two pitch. Just missed outside. Two balls, good strikes.
Fans reacting to every Brigetti pitch here. Yankees trying to even a series up against the two games in peace.
Two to the Rice. High ball, three-and-two. On deck is Tony Armas, the center fielder.
Now, Brigetti decides to take a walk on the back side of the mound. He'll go to the roster back.
He'll mention the Yankees. Two and a half games behind the throttle bulls.
Yankees in fourth place now in the American League with the East.
Here's the Vahaw pitch to Rice. Inside all four of the Rice folks.
That'll bring up Tony Armas. Blue Jays at 143, lost 33.
Baltimore Heave back there in second place. Tigers two back.
And the Yankees five even over. They're 140, lost 35. They're two and a half back.
Red Sox four. Cleveland, Milwaukee five. Cleveland nine and a half.
Here's Armas batting 241. 18 home runs and 48 runs batting in.
Rice not a big lead at first. He's being held by Mattingly.
And the best ball is supposed to make to Armas.
A day like this you don't like to see anybody walk anybody.
But I don't think it's too bad an idea to walk Rice every time he comes up.
Every time?
Joe McCarthy's theory, never let the big man beat you.
So you're going to miss by Armas. No balls, two strikes.
I mean I remember one game he walked St. William's four times and he made his pitcher that day.
I forget who it was. It might have been Gomez who didn't have a knuckleball.
Throw him all knuckleballs.
He told him before the game I don't want this man to hit a fastball today.
Why is he rolling up?
Oh that's making the travesty of the game.
I wanted to. I don't want him to hit.
Thought he could have hit him too. That's an easy way to put him off.
One ball, two strikes on Armas with Rice at first base.
Two odds, no score in the top half of the first inning.
And the pitch.
What a miss.
McGinney strikes on the side.
No runs, no hit to walk the man left after one half.
Red sucks nothing and the Yankees are coming up.
If you've got the moods we've got the sneaker. Pro players.
Are you ready pro players? Are you ready for action?
When you're wearing pro players you're the main attraction.
Now there's an all new pro player sneaker. New pro players flaps.
It's not a loafer, it's not a laser. It's an all new European styled athletic shoe with flaps.
It's attached like magic. Just slip them on, attach the flaps and you're ready for action with style.
European style you'll wear for work and for play. New pro players flaps.
You've got the scene to believe or get a pair today.
You better get some double takes. Pro players, you're moving out and looking great.
Pro players, getting some pro players, now you've got what it takes.
Are you ready pro players? Are you ready?
New pro players flaps.
Pro players are available at all metropolitan area modelled sporting goods stores.
Dave, are you on the phone with the foreign car dealer?
Yes, Lewis.
Tell him you need a transmission appointment today.
I did, he said two weeks.
Then tell him it's an emergency, you're a volunteer fireman.
Well I'm a volunteer.
No, tell him I'm having a baby.
Well I'm a volunteer wife and my baby is having a fireman.
Well?
Two weeks.
Come to Amco Transmissions. Amco fixes foreign car transmissions without an appointment.
Our experts fix more of them than anyone and we'll get your car back to you fast.
Amco.
Want to join me, Will?
Alright, John Tudor, ready to pitch to Bert Campaneras, Don Mattingly and Dave Winfield.
Here at the bottom of the first, William.
Alright, Scooter, Campaneras batting 320, no home runs, four runs batted.
Eddie Yankees had a schedule to play but he has a high problem.
And Campaneras is playing third and Don Mattingly who had been penciled in the leadoff moved down to the second slot.
So it'll be Campaneras, Mattingly and Winfield against left-hander John Tudor.
And the first pitch to Campaneras but it fouled.
Back on the screen, Bert trying to push the ball to the right side.
No balls and a strike on Campaneras.
Tudor's 1-5 lost four.
One has only started against the Yankees at Fenway this year.
But it fouled again on first base.
That'll make the Yankee dugout.
No balls, two strikes on Campaneras.
By the way, William, this is the 207th happy birthday to the United States of America.
That's right, 1776, right?
Remember those days well.
Pitch is high, you reincarnated.
Yep, man it's a Yankee doodle day, somebody wrote down here.
One-two pitch to Campaneras.
Line base in left field.
Can't be around first base, he'll hold as Rice's throw goes into second.
So Campaneras leads off with a single.
That's so often, a guy tries to run a couple of times,
fouls him off and misses him and gets a base hit.
And here's Don Mattingly.
Mattingly hit his own run in Boston off Tudor.
Pulled it down the right field line.
So he's facing Tudor here with Campaneras at first base, nobody out.
Don Mattingly at 265.
There goes Campaneras, pitch is high, throw down a second won't be in time.
Campaneras got a walk from the lead, stole a second.
He got a walk from the lead, even hesitated his step.
That's his best way of stealing bases.
And Tudor, even though he was looking right at him, didn't throw over there.
So Campy is doing his third base here, he's also been not three times.
Pitch was high to Mattingly so they count as one ball and no strikes.
No score playing the bottom half of the first inning.
Now Tudor sets.
And backs off and time is called.
Now we're ready.
One old pitch to Mattingly.
Outside as he fakes a bun, it's two balls and no strikes.
They're playing Mattingly straight away in the outfield.
Two old pitch, Swanniland lifted to left.
Right started back, now flips the glasses on, comes in and makes a play.
And Campaneras has to hold at second base and there's one away.
Dave Winfield a batter.
Winfield batting 244, 13 home runs and 46 runs batted in.
Dave will represent the Yankees at this year's All-Star game in Chicago.
He'll be the only Yankee, right?
Now Ron Gidrey has a bad back, he's been scratched and Tiffy Martinez-Ballamore will take Gidrey's place.
Dave leading the American League in game winning runs batted in.
And Tudor checks Campaneras, pitch to Winfield, misses inside, ball one.
I see where Reggie Jackson is trying to get out of comparing, he's got the bad ribs.
He said he's hitting only 214 but that's been the whole official word as yet.
They wouldn't let him get away with it.
What do you mean get away with it?
There's a lot of players that would rather have the three off days.
Not you or me, but a lot of other players.
Pop file off first base, it's out of play, one and one on Winfield.
I think they are.
You think they are?
No, I think Reggie Jackson is a little bit of an ego with the batting effort.
Yeah, but he wants to be introduced.
That red light goes on, 74 million people watching.
He wants to be there.
I hope he is.
Count of balls to strike on Winfield with Campaneras down at second and one away.
Tudor's pitch, swung on and missed.
One ball, two strikes on Winfield.
Dealing on deck is Lupinello.
Late start here because of the festivities.
Parachutists bringing in the American flag.
Chuck Manning and Gionni.
Very good.
And the pitch misses inside, two and two.
Chuck will probably come up.
He's a great interviewer.
He's a Yankee fan, right?
Oh yeah, really is.
Count of balls, two strikes on Winfield with Campaneras down at second and one away.
Tudor sets, two-two pitch, outside, three and two.
I don't think this crowd is disappointing, Scooter.
This is going to be around 40.
I know, but I thought they'd pack every seat.
There's beaches around here, you know.
Yes, I know, I see.
Here's a three-two pitch to Winfield.
And it's high ball for Winfield walks.
Let's take a 10-second Lon Jeans timeout on the New York Yankee Radio Network.
Lon Jeans is the official timekeeper of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
It's the wit and wisdom of Ira Pistel, overnight, here on Talk Radio 77.
Campaneras down at second base.
Winfield on it first with one away and Lu Penella's a batter.
Penella batting three, 26, two home runs, 13 runs batted in.
We're still in the bottom of the first, no score in the game.
Don Baylor exercising in the on-deck circle as Tudor sets.
And a fake throw back to second base with Remy sneaking in behind Campaneras.
And it can't be had to slide back in, no throw from Tudor.
Both the second baseman, Remy, and the shortstop, the Hoffman, shorten up a little bit towards second.
Now the set.
Remy, once again, sneaks in behind Campaneras, and this time Tudor backs out.
And Penella decides to take a walk as time is called.
Don Zimmer coaching third for the Yankees and Yogi Berro over at first base.
As Penella's back in and Tudor's ready.
Checks are runners.
And the first pitch to Penella misses outside, ball one.
After the all-star break, the Yankees open up in Kansas City against the Royals.
And on to Minnesota and back home.
1-0 to Penella.
Swung on line right to the shortstop, Hoffman.
He'll go over to second base touch-up, and they have the double play.
Campaneras forced up behind Blue Penella.
No runs, one base hit, one man left on base.
At the end of one, the Yankees nothing, the Red Sox nothing.

Well, I've got just one more birthday, Bill White. Top of the day.
It's Jonathan Trapp. Now, he'll be 16 on our off-day Thursday, July 7th.
I had mentioned that's my daughter Penny's birthday and John Gordon's birthday on July 7th.
But Jonathan Trapp will probably be at the Motor Vehicle Bureau at 9 Thursday getting his learner's permit.
And that's a hairy experience if you've got kids just getting ready for the get their permit.
Well, are you going to announce that when he passes, you're going to congratulate him on the air?
Yes, if he passes. But it took me three times to get my first license.
There they are.
The abortion buggy?
No, but it was the old stick shift with the clutch, the old Ford Model A.
I'll have to get back the morsees up.
Whoa, gee, all.
Yeah, that was very easier than cars, Bill.
Here's Dwight Evans leading off against Dave Rigetti in the second.
Rigetti gets the breaking ball in for a strike.
No score. We're in the top of the second. Evans, Nichols, and Stapledon.
Three right-handed batters do up against Yankee left-hander Dave Rigetti.
And Rigetti's one-strike pitch to Evans. It's low, one-and-one.
Dave struck out the side in the first.
Although he walked Jim Rice, he got Remy Boggs and R. Moss.
And he now has 80 strikeouts.
The one-one pitch.
Ball strike two. Fast ball. Got the outside corner. Ball and two strikes on Evans.
Yankees playing Evans straight away.
There are four pitchers in the American League who've won ten or more games.
As the fast ball is high to Evans, it's two and two.
Rick Honeycutt of Texas leads with 11.
Dave Steve of Toronto has won 10, along with Rick Sutcliffe of Cleveland and Ron Gidry.
Here's the 2-2 to Evans.
He's hung on and missed. Got him with a breaking ball.
Gidry. Rigetti strikes out Evans.
And that's the fourth strikeout for Dave Rigetti.
He's pitching like Gidry pitched about. What was that, 1977?
78. Gidry struck out all those people.
125 ball game.
Here's Reid Nichols, a designated hitter. Whoa!
Chuck Mangione! I can hear that global horn!
Holy cow! How you doing, Chuck?
Reid Nichols takes high ball. One tuck high door.
Dylan, I really enjoy it.
Yes. That's a tough job playing the national anthem with the field of global horn.
Now, wait a minute. One thing, Mike.
That pitch is high.
You mentioned he had the Italian colors on. He's got a few too many in there. Some of them are not.
That's right.
All right. I like that. I rock that, Chuck.
It's two balls, no strikes on Nichols.
After all, the national anthem is everybody's.
That's right. You're right.
Still the right center field might be trouble on the run.
His camp buddy will get there and make the play.
And they're two outs.
That'll bring on Dave Stablen.
Stablen batting 214. Three home runs. 33 runs batted in.
Bob Rossuto is checking out again.
Oh, how he hits Chuck.
Yeah. All right.
Two outs, nobody on. No score here in the second.
No score in the ball game between the Yankees and the Bosaques.
And here's Brigetti's first pitch to Stablen. And it's taken for a strike.
That was the first ball anybody hit. I'll be at five straight up.
That's right. You're going to come up there. Join us.
You just learned how to keep score. You got it made.
It's another journey to a rainbow.
Here we go. He's ready.
The one strike pitch to Dave Stablen. And it's high, one and one.
Got Chuck Mangione with us up here in the booth.
He did such a great job with the national anthem.
And that's tough with the blue ball horn.
One-one pitch. Changeup. Taking low. It's two and one.
Chuck, that's Phil Pepe was very upset with the way we were pronouncing it.
Phil came up with something, huh?
Yeah. He spelled it phonetically for Phil, and Phil has done a little bit better job.
He should know anyway.
You say spaghetti. Spaghetti. You know how that works.
Oh, foul on first base. No play for the first baseman. That's Don Manley. Cannot get to it.
Chuck, you've been following these three games with the Boston.
And Bryce has had heck of a series.
He's had your hand. But I'll tell you, the spirit in the Yankee clubhouse is one of cool confidence.
Well, it always has been.
They're amazing. And I've never met such a wonderful group of guys with so much talent and yet so humble and really enjoy playing baseball.
They're going to do it.
All right. It's two and two on Dave Stablen.
Two outs, nobody on base. No score in the game.
We're going to play the second inning. Brigette pitch.
Breaking ball for another miss.
And that'll be down to the side.
Three up, three down. We've been talking to Chuck Mangione and Chuck Hayes. Good game with it.
Thank you. I'm going to play the Canadian man's anthem with the All-Star baseball.
Perfect. Perfect. We'll be looking at you.
Thank you.
And at the end of one and a half innings of play, the Yankees nothing, Boston nothing.

Well we got a very important birthday here that we missed on July 2nd, Bill White.
Papa Manjou.
Up in Rochester, 73 years old.
Oh man, happy birthday.
Yes sir.
Little plaster, a little vino that night.
Little peonty.
Chuck says they celebrate all year long.
That's the way they do it.
Yep, here's Don Baylor against John Tudor, second inning of scoreless ball game.
And the curve ball misses low to Baylor.
It'll be Baylor Weininger Kip against left-hander John Tudor.
So far the story's been Dave Brigetti is struck out by...
Flash ball to Baylor, the strike one and one.
Tudor with the one-one pitch to Baylor.
And it's low, two balls, hand-to-strike.
But Weininger is on deck.
Baylor batting 298, eight home runs, 32 runs batted in.
Tudor working quickly with the two-one pitch.
Swung on and popped foul, that'll come back toward the screen.
Newman gets a late jump, now he's coming back, but he'll run out of room.
Baylor is in the lead.
Two balls, two strikes on Don Baylor.
It's two and two on Baylor.
And Tudor gets a new baseball.
Looks at Newman for a sign.
Now he's really in the lead.
Baylor is in the lead.
Now he's ready with the two-two delivery.
Outside ball, three, three and two.
Yabonair has led the ball, he marked with a single, then he stole second,
but was doubled up when Pernille aligned to Glen Hoffman to shortstop.
Pay our pitch to Baylor.
Swung on and fouled back.
And the count remains, three and two.
Chuck Mangione has got to leave.
He's going to draw the winners for all the gifts today.
Baylor is one to the left, but Ronnie Sandistro is coming on.
Still digging in now.
With the glasses down, he makes the catch for the first time.
And we'll see Chuck downstairs.
Let's hear it.
Oh!
Hey Chuck, chill along the men's amari, okay.
Butch Weininger in.
And the first pitch to Butch Batting right in is taking for a strike on the outside corner.
No balls under strike.
You know, two balls hit the left field, Bill.
Rice had to come in.
He could have held, but still.
Well, Rice is not playing shallow.
He plays the deep left.
And the breaking ball is outside to Weininger.
It's one and one.
Butch Batting, three oh seven, five home runs, 19 runs batting in.
One-one pitch.
Line one, hopper, through Boggs, down left field line.
Weininger on first base, he'll go to second.
And Rice is told he's in third base.
That was a tough chance for Boggs.
That could very well be a double.
I mean, that was a short cut.
Error five.
Man, that was a tough error.
Who was that, Coach, you can tell us.
What was his first name?
That said, good field, no hit.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, wait a minute.
I'll think of it in a moment.
He always...
Yup.
But I think with Boggs, we got good hit.
He's having some problems with the leather.
But he can hit that ball.
Oh, he can.
So Weininger on second base.
He might field it.
Kemp is batting a 268.9.
Olm runs 37 runs batting in.
And he takes high, ball one.
Kemp was shaking up a bit.
And he glazed it home plate during the Baltimore series
with Rick Dempsey when he got cut down at the plate.
Tried to bowl Dempsey over.
Ran into a lot of plastic
and other catching gear equipment.
Foul back.
It's one and one.
Don't see glaciers at home plate anymore.
You what?
Don't see glaciers at home plate anymore.
No.
And that was one of the rare ones only because Dempsey got the ball in time.
You got to kind of side step and try and swipe Kemp.
Or you're really good cream.
One ball, one strike on Kemp.
With Weininger down at second.
One away, no score.
And the bottom of the second.
The pitch is a curve ball.
In for a call strike one and two.
You know also you see a lot of head first slides in the home.
Which I think is terrible.
Catch above that.
Oh yeah.
Well since you're not blocking the plate anymore doesn't make any difference.
Now help get the ball and come back and try to tag you.
One two.
And on the ground first base it's a fair ball.
Stapleton has it.
Throws to the pitcher.
To the recovery.
And they've got Kemp and Weininger
who's the third base.
One out three to one.
Here's Roy Smalley.
The Yankee shortstop's batting 280.
Ten home runs, 31 runs batted in.
Weininger now at third with two outs.
Two under winds and deals to Smalley.
And it's high ball one.
Weininger walking a big lead off third base.
And he stops.
Pitch is a call strike on the inside corner.
It's one and one.
Weininger went a long way down the third base.
I stood here.
If he had a little speed he could have stolen home.
He just took a big slow deliberate windup.
One count, one ball, one strike on Roy Smalley.
Now the pitch.
Swung on and fouled back up on the screen.
One two.
Yankees nothing.
The Red Sox nothing.
Bottom half of the second inning.
Tudors one two pitch to Smalley.
Get on the ground off first base.
It's a fair ball.
Caught by Stephen right on the bag.
He touches up there.
And that'll retire the side.
No runs, no hits.
And they're in a band left.
They play two.
They're in a band left.
They play two.
Yankees nothing.
The Red Sox nothing.
Listen as a man enters the most surprising back seat in driving.
Hop in the back Bill.
Good morning.
What's that?
That is all the space in the back of his new Nissan Stanza.
Presenting the roomy front wheel drive Nissan Stanza.
That's your Dodge and dealer.
It's the economy car with the cavernous back seat.
But the real surprise is the way this beauty delivers.
Sparkling performance and outstanding mileage.
EPA estimated 31 MPG.
45 highway with five wheels.
Use 31 for comparison.
Your mileage may be slightly milder.
Move over Bill.
I have to pick up Harry.
Hi everybody.
What's wrong?
Wow your first time in the back of a Nissan Stanza.
It's a band.
See the room in you.
Nissan Stanza.
It's your Dodge and dealer now.
It's bought for you.
There's no one else who does it quite the way you do.
It's so easy to use.
For all you do you know the king of beers is on and off.
For all you do.
It's bought for you.
For all you do.
It's bought for you.
Stay to it.
We're going to the top of the third inning.
The smallest ball game.
Only one hit in the game.
The Yankees have that.
That was a single by Cameron Harris leading off the bottom of the first.
And Rigetti in two innings has struck out five.
Out of the six possible outs.
One fly ball right field by Reed Nichols.
It'll be Jeff Newman, Glenn Hoffman, and then back to Jerry Remy.
The top of the order here in the top of the third.
It's a big ball game for the Yankees prior to the all-star break.
Told you they trail by just two and a half games going into today's action.
That would be a nice comfortable spot to be in.
Everybody get three days off to relax, get strong again.
The pitch to Newman is in there. Strike one call.
Frank Messer has joined us.
So happy Fourth of July, Scooter.
Yeah, thank you, Frank.
We've been giving our greetings to Thorpe.
Did he check it?
No, he didn't. He swung. Oh, and true.
Newman can't believe it. I can't either.
The ball hit home plate.
Curve ball that is the first base umpire, Rick Reed.
He said he went around.
He threw a curve ball that bounced off the plate.
But look at it again.
He stopped that swing.
All right, but it's going to.
Which side of the radio are we looking at?
Oh, that's right.
We got a monitor back. Keep forgetting.
Wow, upstairs and out of play high and deep down the right field line.
So it's oh and true.
Even the announcers enjoy a three day respite.
Frank Messer. Boy, you got that right.
Be nice to up in the mountains.
Oh yeah, that's where you're heading.
The oh two delivery outside one ball two strikes.
Great to hear from.
Little Goldstein.
I'm going to go up and visit Lou and Jackie for the next three days.
Paul Grossinger.
The Addis Family. Looking forward to it.
Worth it just to hear Lou Simon.
Lou Goldstein do as Simon says.
High and it's two and two.
He's all excited. He's going to do a show down in New Orleans.
He's going to be one of the mentally retarded.
Special Olympics.
He is really excited about that.
All right, two and two now to Newman.
The pitch struck him out.
He has the first race so far.
This time he says no. He went further that time with his swing than he did the first time.
He really did.
But things even up.
Three balls two strikes now on Jeff Newman.
He's getting his payoff pitch.
Struck him out anyway.
Holy cow. Six strikeouts.
In just two and one third innings.
My Reggetti is strong.
And he's striking them all out with the fastball.
Yes.
He's coming that fastball up there. I really don't know.
It's got to be mid-90s.
Wouldn't you say?
It's got to be.
Nobody has pulled the ball.
Nichols fly to right.
Steven Poulbaugh is having a ball.
This is strike two. Glenn Hoffman the shortstop.
Hoffman hitting 252.
One home at 20 RBI's.
Reggetti rocks back.
And the curve a little bit low.
One-on-one.
He's got a mean curveball.
One-on-one delivery.
Oh, he's flying a pitch about a foot inside a sharp breaking slider.
Man, he is mean today, Frank Messon.
He really is this season.
Probably the best I've ever seen Reggetti.
Oh, boy.
And the fans, of course, hungry for strikeouts now.
They're lined up.
The pitch just missed the outside corner two and two.
Reggetti's last star when he pitched his first major league shutout against Baltimore was that last Wednesday.
He didn't walk anybody and struck out eight men in that ballgame.
All right.
Reggetti winds the pitch.
Struck out.
Holy cow, another wicked slider down and in.
It's seven strikes out of the ballgame.
That's unbelievable.
And that'll bring us Jerry Remy, who struck out leading off the ballgame.
He has struck out some tough men to strike out, Remy and Boggs, who are contact hitters.
All right, Campanaris moves in at third.
And a pitch to Remy fouled back and out of place, strike one.
Greg Nettles was penciled in to start this game at third, but he has conjunctivitis.
I don't know which eye I have to get which eye in.
I don't recall.
Usually if you get it in one, though, it will spread to the other.
Uh-huh.
Pitch is low, one on one.
Conjunctivitis is highly contagious.
Yes, also called Tinkai.
Well, they used to say when we were kids in school, if you looked at somebody that had Tinkai, you would get it.
Is that okay?
Oh, yeah, it is very, very contagious.
One-one delivery outside two-one.
That was, of course, an old wives tale.
You can't get it by looking, but it was, it is.
Remember, what, a couple of years ago, Oscar Gamble was out for a while suffering the same thing.
Very annoying.
And if you're hitting up there, you don't want to have that blinking and kind of blurred vision.
Two-one delivery. Bouncer hits a short.
Smalley, gross, in, time to get him.
Great play by Smalley, a campanera that's right in front of him.
Almost blocked his vision.
Three up, three down, end of two and a half.
It's the Red Sox nothing and the Yankees nothing.
You know, I've been quoted as saying I've spent almost as much of my life in Yankee Stadium as I have at home.
Now, that's got to mean I love the Yankees.
And I love what they're doing for the kids of our city with Frito Lay,
maker of Lay's and Ruffles brand potato chips.
Through the Frito Lay Yankees Challenge for Children,
they're making it possible for the children at Memorial's Throne Kettering Cancer Center
to have a greater chance for a brighter future.
Frito Lay and the Yankees, teamed up for a better New York.

toward upstate New York.
Let's listen to our Yankee game.
Great Yankee fan, very great friend of mine, High Agents,
is celebrating his birthday today.
And his son is here in the ballpark watching the ballgame.
It's a great day to have a birthday, aren't they?
I'll have that born on the 4th of July.
Yep.
Andre hits one piece, the left field right's going to the left.
And he's going to the right.
Andre hits one piece, the left field right's going back.
Now he's stopped.
You know the ball's not carrying enough today, right?
No, it really isn't.
The flags are flowing in from right toward the left field ball, right?
By the way, right made that catch, but he started back as though it was going to be over his head
and then stopped and had it come in to make the play.
And Andre hit it right on the nose.
One away now, Cameron Harris, who's singled and stole second,
his first time up, Chris DeCampi, bluffs the bunt, takes it low, ball one.
First time up, tried a bunt twice.
Now the morphin's singing.
Got something for us, huh, Mr.?
Mm-hmm.
All right, the pitch, he takes a strike, one-on-one.
That would have been a good pitch to bunt right there if he wanted to.
The Yankee School Board is brought to you by members only,
makers of AutoWear and SpectatorWear.
One-one pitcher, curve high, two-on-one.
Minnesota 5, Chicago 2 at the end of 4.
Detroit leads Baltimore 4-1 at the end of 3.
Todd Cruz has homered for the Orioles' long run in that ballgame.
A little over, and it's going to drop in right-center field.
Campanero's on with his second base hit.
Debi just served that softly in the right center.
Well, he had some acquisition at Todd Cruz' rank for Baltimore.
Well, he's got a good job for them.
Pittsburgh beats St. Louis 7-2 in the first game of a holiday double header in Pittsburgh.
Rick Roden got the win, Jason Thompson homered.
Second game Cardinals fail to score the Pirates of Batting in the first.
Neal Allen against Jim Biddy.
All right, Don Mattingly the batter.
Throw to first, Campy back. Campy got a running start in his first stolen base.
Now Tudor gets the sign.
Another throw over.
Montreal leads Chicago 6-1 at the end of 5-1 half. Home runs Andre Dawson, Gary Carter, and Dawson again.
He's hit a pair.
Backing up the pitching of Steve Rogers going for his 12th win of the year.
Other games are later starts.
All right, and still another throw over there.
The Yankee scoreboard has been brought to you by Members Only,
makers of hardware and spectator wear with a style of fit and the colors you'll want to wear everywhere.
Work for the Members Only label that tells you it's the original at fine stores near you.
And four in a row he's thrown to first base.
And you don't usually get Campy when he is standing still.
He likes to get that kind of walking, running start.
Big lead. Here's the pitch to the plate. The curve is over. Strike one call.
Mattingly he fly to left field his first time up.
Out Tudor sets.
And a pitch out but he was not going. It's 1-1.
Mattingly can sort of set on a fastball don't you think?
You would think so with Campy at first.
All right, Tudor sets again as a throw over to first and Campy's back easily.
He really telegraphed that one. That was not his good move.
Five times he's thrown over there now trying to get Campy.
He comes set as the sixth time and none of them have been close.
Campy is getting a little upset. Mattingly steps back out.
Try to get yourself psyched up and set the batter's box as he keeps throwing to first.
All right, he's ready.
And there goes Campy. Good, holy cow. Why did Mattingly swing at this?
A pop-up. Campy's going to have to hustle and get back.
They're going to double him. And they do.
Holy cow, Campy there has had that bag stolen without having to slide.
And Mattingly's swung at it, pops it up into a double play.
4-4-1 for the double play. No runs, no errors, nobody left at the end of three.
Red Sox nothing and the Yankees nothing.
You can talk with drink. It's got life.
You've got five vitamins, three minerals, and a little bit of protein.
No leading Sox drink has you being driven.
Great. Hey, you and the Sox drink really have life.

And now let's take a 10-second Longines timeout on the New York Yankee Radio Network.
Longines is the official timekeeper of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
What a unique view of the world and its problems join Ray Breve at 3 a.m. here on Talk Radio 77.
Ray Breve!
Scottish ball game through three. The Yankees have the only two hits in the game, both owned by Burt Campanaris,
the Red Sox third baseman, Wade Boggs has made one error.
And now Rigetti will be pitching to Boggs, Rice, and Armas here on the top half of the fourth inning.
All right, Frank. Only two men have been able to hit the ball off Rigetti,
and both have hit to the opposite field. Nichols flying to right, Remi left-handed, bouncing short.
Boggs struck out his first time up, and Rigetti's first pitch is high and tight, ball one.
And he already has seven strikeouts in the ball game, three in the first, two in the second, two in the third.
Bragg comes back, and a drive to straightaway center.
Winfield is there backing up, reaches up, that ball was big.
I'll tell you, I'm the breaking ball, I think, who had that time, Scooter, and he jumped all over it.
Very seldom would you see Boggs even hit to straightaway center field.
All right. Most everything is to left and left center.
All right, one away, and Jim Rice will walk his first time up.
Another Fourth of July birthday, Jim Bozier over in Hankinsack, born on the Fourth of July.
What a day to be born on the birthday of our great country.
All right, Jim Rice.
Showed you how to walk his first time up.
And there's a high fly to right by Kemp with plenty of room.
Moving in under it makes the catch two men around.
You always breathe a lot easier when you get Rice out.
Especially the way he's hitting right now.
Oh, what a series he's had.
Four home runs.
He's had six hits, and now 15 at bats in the series, and four of those six hits have been overs.
A lot of display of fireworks he's put on.
Tony Armott struck out his first time up, two out, nobody on.
And a bouncer hits slowly to third, Kemp and Harris.
Nice bounce throw in time to get him.
Play by Kemp.
Again, free up and free down, and at the end of three and a half.
Red Sox nothing and the Yankees nothing.
The question isn't whether or not you need a new Nissan Sentra.
The question is which one you need.

Well, it'll be Dave Winfield, Luke Minnumer, and Don Baylor up for the Yankees here in the bottom half of the fourth inning.
We talk about Rice's 22 home runs.
He and Balboni lead the country, I think.
Balboni hit his 22nd last night for Columbus.
Unbelievable.
He and Balboni, a mile-matter giant, just continues to mow down that baseball.
He's got to get a chance at a big game.
A mile-matter giant just continues to mow down that baseball. He's got to get a chance at a big league someplace.
By Winfield.
Swings and fouls after balls, strike one.
He's been swinging a lot of high pitches lately.
Yes, he has. He's been swinging at pitches out of the strike zone high.
Of course, that's where it gets around. The pitchers know it. Of course, all the Boston pitchers know it because they have seen him in these four games.
The Bronx USA is number one in the Big Apple. They've got a good brochure on the Bronx right here.
Yankee Stadium included in that, of course. Great places to go. Guide to dining in the Bronx.
Cultural organizations of the Bronx.
Don't forget the Bronx Zoo.
And the Bronx Zoo, that is one of the big features of the Bronx.
Winfield hits a high fly. Didn't hit it well. Armand's moving in to his left.
Makes the catch. One man up.
You know, Rebecca took Mickey over to the Bronx Zoo about a week ago and they really enjoyed it. Great attractions over there.
Oh, it really is something.
You know, they got an elephant ride that lets you, the kids, get on an elephant and ride.
No kidding.
Yeah. They got a petting zoo over there.
All right. Lou Pennella, who hit a bullet to the shortstop, was turned into a double play his first time up.
The left-handed shooter delivers to Pennella outside ball one on deck, Don Veller.
Oh, taking a lot of time between pitches. Doing it more this year than ever before.
Now he's ready.
And the pitch is right in there, strike called one on one. Lou turns around, walks out of the batter's box, comes back.
Still not ready. He digs a hole and he fills it full of dirt and then he digs it again.
Just can't get comfortable there, can he?
No. Looks like Lou might be getting a note from the American League office like Harbrow did.
Curve way high and outside, two and one.
He steps out again, checks his spike shoe, marks a little dirt out.
Two-one delivery, foul to the right side, back in the seats, out of play, two and two.
Let's see what he does this time.
He makes sure the umpire knows he's not quite ready.
Now he's set. The two-two pitch, foul upstairs and out of play right over our heads.
Looks like Lou's really backed off the plate now, Scooter.
Yes, it does. I'd say that he does that changes stances so often, according to who the pitcher is.
Again, Lou puts this top sign up, doesn't want the pitcher to pitch while he's not looking. Now he's ready.
Two-two delivery, foul to the right side, back in the seats, out of play.
Lou will take another little stroll.
Tugs at his batting glove.
Check the attendance while he was looking around.
Maybe he's got a new clause in his soundtrack.
And again the stop sign as he digs the hole a little deeper for the back foot.
Now he's ready. And two to his two-two delivery.
Foul back off the umpire, that hit Steve Palermo solidly with a foul tip off the mass.
And it's still two and two.
See Palermo, as he opens both hands up, he still evidently works the plate without using a ball and striking to get her.
That's very unusual.
It is.
All right, once again the two-two pitch. Foul back on the screen, out of play.
I'm going to tell you, you know, as long as Palermo's been around, he has not used the indicator, which is very unusual.
I have to wonder if one of the other umpires might just keep one in chase.
I would think so because there are some times when the scoreboard might be wrong.
It would be a big argument.
Palermo keeps it in his mind.
And one thing, you know, I like a lot of things about Palermo, but one thing, after every pitch he will indicate the ball strike out with his fingers, which is, I think, always good.
How about Jerry Newdecker? He lets you know on each pitch.
The pitch again hit deep to left field. Right has got wrong though. Back here, the warning track at the 387 foot sign makes the catch.
By yesterday that ball would have been out of here.
Yes it would have been. That ball would have been on the visiting ball plate yesterday.
Yep. Two men out.
That will bring up Don Vailer, who will fly to left his first time up.
There have only been two hits in the ball game as Frank Jolie and Kevin Harris has both of them.
Red Sox, no runs, no hits. They have made an error.
Pitch to Vailer. Wow, on an off-speed pitch right off the end of the bat, strike one.
He did a change of speed very well.
Yeah, he's getting very smooth out there today.
Curve way outside, one-on-one.
Each pitcher has walked only one man, though Tudor has not struck out anyone.
Reggetti has struck out seven.
One-one delivery foul, again off the end of the bat. One ball, two strikes.
Indication, Reggetti has thrown probably more pitches than Tudor has.
Oh yes, absolutely.
Two out, nobody on, no score, bottom of the fourth.
A foul upstairs and out of play.
On deck, Butch Weineger.
And the one-queue delivery.
Fly ball left center, but Armant is going to get there. He's calling and makes the catch.
Three up, three down. At the end of four, it's the Red Sox, nothing in the Yankees.

Lots of motor oil, car protection, and mileage. I want proof.
Here's proof. New York taxis drove over a quarter million punishing miles with no oil-related failures.
That's Havilland Supreme 10W40 protection.
And here's more proof. After two million miles of state trooper driving, no oil-related failures.
That's Havilland Supreme protection. And here's even more proof.
In fuel economy tests, it delivered improved mileage compared to a conventional 10W40 motor oil.
Texaco, Havilland Supreme. They've got the proof.
Good afternoon, everybody. John Gordon with you now as we bring you the top half of the fifth inning
in the scoreless game here between the Red Sox and the Yankees.
And game number four of this four-game series.
And of course, the Yankees need a victory here this afternoon.
They square up in the series. Right now they trail by two games to one.
And the leadoff batter for the Sox will be number 24, Dwight Evans.
And he'll be followed by Reed Nichols and then Dave Stapleton.
No score in the game, and the Yankees have the only two hits, both of them from Burt Campanier.
It's a single in the first inning, and Campy have a single in the third inning.
And a couple of base runners. Jim Rice was a base runner back in the first and a walk.
Dave Winfield reached in a walk in the first inning, but DeWinegar reached in an air.
Those are other base runners in the game. Evans struck out his first time up.
Ragetti through the first four innings of pitching.
Has walked one and struck out seven. And the curve is inside.
It's one ball and no strikes to count to Evans.
Evans four for 11 in the series and currently hitting 232.
15 homers on the air. Swings and fouls went back to the netting.
And a count in the ball and a strike. Here's the 1-1 delivery. It's a fastball high.
And it'll be two balls and one strike.
Dave Ragetti seeking to become the second ten-game winner for the Yankees.
Ron Gintry has won ten while losing four.
Here's a check swing, but Evans went around on it.
And a strike to hand it two balls and two strikes.
Ragetti is number four in the American League in winning percentage with a 9-3 record.
California's Bruce Keeson is number one.
Two balls, two strikes to count to Evans. And here's the 2-2 delivery.
A fastball foul way up to the upper deck off to the right.
And a count is holding it two balls and two strikes.
Well, the Yankees and the rest of the major leagues are off tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday.
The All-Star break coming up. The All-Star game to be played Wednesday night in Chicago at Comiskey Park.
Yankees resume action against Kansas City Friday night at KC.
And of course we'll be there to broadcast.
Here's the 2-2 delivery inside three and two.
Yankees open a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
And then a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins.
And then they're back home on the 14th of July against the Texas Rangers.
Straight to Baypett swing.
Strike three, break them out, a fastball.
A strikeout to the game forward, Dave Ragetti.
Boy, he is pitching some game here this afternoon.
Well, Ragetti had eight strikeouts in his last start, the shutout win over Baltimore.
And he had eight against Oakland back on the 28th of May when he beat the Athletics by a 5-2 score.
Dave's career high is 11, and that was against the Boston Red Sox in the 1981 season.
And you would have to say he certainly has a shot at that with eight strikeouts in four and a third inning pitching so far.
Here's Reed Nichols who is 0-1 in the game.
He lands a foul down the left field line to the upper deck and out of play, and the count is a ball and a strike to Nichols.
In the first nine batters that Ragetti faced in the first eight outs, Reed Nichols was the only Red Sox batter that did not strike out.
He flied to right field here, Steve Kemp, and here's the 1-1 delivery. Changeup wide, two balls and one strike.
Ragetti struck out the side in the first, Remy Boggs and Hermas.
Two in the second, Evans and Stapleton.
Two in the third, Newman and Hoffman.
Remy batting for the second time in the third inning, grounded out short to first.
Swing and a fly down the right field line. This one is curving foul. It will be out of play.
Chasing Steve Kemp, but no chance to get it, and the count holding it. Two balls and two strikes.
No score in the game, the Red Sox and the Yankees in the Monday afternoon.
Holiday special here. Good crowd on hand.
Nichols batting with one down and nobody on. Two balls, two strikes. Ragetti to the line, and here's the pitch. Turner, line foul.
Fast as he goes to the third base coaching box, and it's 2-2 still to count to Reed Nichols.
The Red Sox are making a bid to finish strong before the all-star break. They're presently 38 and 37, one game over 500.
And they're only four games behind the division leading Toronto Blue Jays.
2-2, and here's Ragetti to the line and the pitch. Best ball, high and away. 3-2 in a full count.
The Yankees, of course, sitting in a very good position. They're presently 5 over 500 at 40 and 35.
And trail the division leading Blue Jays by just two and a half games.
Great two-pay pitch. Uniside ball four. Missed with a fast ball. Nichols draws the second walk.
Given up by Dave Ragetti, he's advanced and Dave Stapleton will be the hitter.
Ragetti is listed among the league leaders in the American League.
He's tied for third in the wins column with nine.
He was number five in strikeouts with 77, but the eight that he has now, giving him 85,
puts him up into the number four spot ahead of Lamar Hoyt.
Here's the set and the pitch out, but the runner Nichols is holding.
And it'll be ball one to Stapleton. Strikeout swinging back in the second inning.
Yankees now bringing the Red Sox now bringing in the Red Sox batting in the top half of the fifth.
Dave Ragetti to the right-handed hitting Dave Stapleton. Nichols with the lead, battingly holding.
And here's the pitch. Herv is in and it's one strike to go. One ball, one strike.
Jane Raleigh is scheduled to open the road trip at Kansas City on Friday night.
Jane's seven and seven on the year after losing yesterday's game to the Red Sox.
And he'll be pitching against Larry Gura. Ragetti up high for a ball and two and one.
And Ragetti is scheduled to pitch on Saturday against Bud Black.
And Ron Gidry is scheduled to go on Sunday against Paul Splendor.
Those are the pitching matchups for the Kansas City Series on Friday night at Kansas City.
Two balls, one strike. The runner at first is Nichols and Ragetti will check him back to the bag with a pick-off move.
And he's back safely.
This is the first inning that Ragetti has been behind Red Sox batters.
He was 3-2 to Evans and struck him out. 3-2 to Nichols and he walked him.
Now he's behind Stapleton at 2-1. There goes the runner to get a pick-off.
Battingly to second. The tag by Spaldy in the off call.
So Dave Ragetti erases the base runner with a beautiful pick-off move.
1-3-6. And now stealing will be Reid Nichols.
2-2 down in the inning and it's two balls and one strike to count to Stapleton.
Now the Red Sox who are not a running team.
They have only 11 stolen bases all season long.
That's the 13th time they've been cut down attempting to steal.
Here's the 2-1 to Stapleton. He bounds one foul past the third base coach Eddie Ost.
And it is a 2-2 count now. To the right hand is hitting Red Sox for his baseman.
So Dave Ragetti on a 2-2 delivery to Dave Stapleton.
Should he reach Jeff Newman with the axe and the pitch.
Just missed outside with a best ball.
And a full count of 3-2. Outfield plays Stapleton straight away.
Stapleton has five hits in the series.
And he came in with an 0 for 23 slate.
Fighting a season long slump. 3-2. Pay pitch.
Pumped up in the infield. Right behind the pitchers man.
Campanaris. Robertson. And it's going to be Andre.
Robertson makes the catch. Stapleton is out and the inning is over.
And that's going to be all for the Red Sox here in the fifth.
And it's no hit, no hit. There's nobody left.
And now through four and a half innings of play it's the Red Sox nothing and the Yankees nothing.
Nice restaurant. Are you advertising the Yellow Pages?
Sure do.
I have ever since I opened.
How many directories do you advertise in?
How many?
One. Why?
Well just because your business is in the city.
That doesn't mean all your customers are.
People who live in the suburbs come to the city for dinner.
Commuters use Yellow Pages directories where they work and where they live.
So if I advertise in different directories I could get customers coming and going.
Right. You should put your money in the book.
The New York Telephone Yellow Pages in several directories.
Because although four out of five adults turn to the Yellow Pages when they're ready to buy,
they turn to different directories.
And if they find me in all of them, my business could be much bigger.
Yes. It's just one more way of putting your money in the book.
The New York Telephone Yellow Pages is money in the bank.
Money in the book is money in the bank.
New York Telephone.
Listen up, New York. I'm Luke Vanellas.
I'm just going to tell you about how the Yankees are helping our kids.
Fido-A, makers of Lay's and Ruffles Grand Potato Chips,
is contributing $50 to the Memorial Sloan-Kellaring Cancer Center for every run the Yankees score.
I plan to be the biggest contributor, and I'm sure my teammates will be thinking the same.
So cheer us on and buy Lay's and Ruffles Grand Potato Chips.
Together, Fido-A, Lay, and the Yankees are teamed up for better New York.
Be part of the fun and remember, every time you cheer us on,
you'll be helping us send some good cheer to the kids of New York.
The Yankees' low representative in the All-Star Game will be starting up fielder Dave Winfield.
Rob Gidrey was chosen to the All-Star Team, but because of back spasms,
he was forced to relieve himself from the game, and he will not be in uniform Wednesday night at Comiskey Park.
Don't forget now the Yankees take on the Rangers for a four-game weekend series.
Still for the next home stand, July 14th through the 17th,
they have a series to be highlighted by the annual Old Timers game on Saturday, July 16th.
Don't miss seeing your favorite Old Timers, including the newest Old Timer,
former Yankee Bobby Mercer, who will participate in his first game.
Here's Butch Whitinger to lead off the Yankee fifth inning,
and swinging on the first pitch from John Tudor, he pops it in the air behind second base.
Jeremy Remi is out to make the draft for the out.
There's one down at one pitch, and Kemp is stepping in before he bats.
Let's take a 10-second Long Jeans timeout on the New York Yankee Radio Network.
Long Jeans is the official timekeeper of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Dr. Lawrence Balter with his life's preparens.
Weekend at 9 a.m., here on Talk Radio 77.
This is Steve Kemp, who's 0-4-1 in the game, swings and misses on a Tudor fastball.
It came in on his hands, and it is no balls in one strike.
Kemp bounced out to the first baseman, Stapleton.
He made the play to pitch his Tudor covering at the back, and is 0-4-1 in the game.
Kemp's right back, and the fastball is down low, one ball and one strike to Kemp.
No score in the game, the Yankees nothing, the Red Sox nothing, and here's the curve that's in.
Catches the inside corner, and it'll be one ball and two strikes to Steve Kemp.
This is Kemp's first appearance in the Red Sox series.
He's been out, bothered by a bruised tailbone.
Left-handed hitter against the left-handed Tudor.
Curve is wide, and two balls and two strikes.
Yankees had a couple of base runners in the first inning about their only real threat.
Here's a line drive off the glove of Stapleton, the first baseman.
He'll not be able to make the throw to Tudor covering at the back, and Kemp is going to reach.
And it'll be a hit for Steve Kemp.
Now Stapleton was moving to his left, trying to play the short hop on the low liner,
and the ball kicked off his glove into foul territory.
When Stapleton ran it down, he was right at the tarpaulin area,
and he lost his balance momentarily and could not make a throw.
Kemp has reached for the Yankees' third hit of the game, and Roy Smalley is going to be the batter.
Smalley swings in the first pitch from Tudor, pops it foul off to the right.
Newman is coming over, he may have room, it's just out of play.
It's beyond the Yankee dugout in the third row of the box seats.
Chuck Mangione almost got that one.
He's sitting down there enjoying the game at the moment.
It's part of his party that is with him that got that souvenir baseball.
So it's one strike to count to Smalley.
Roy mounts to the first base, been stapled and unassisted his first time up.
Ball right to the bag.
Stapleton caught it and stepped down first to retire him.
One strike, now the set by Tudor, and he'll check the runner.
Kemp back to the bag at first.
Tudor ready to pitch now as he sets and again throws the first, but Kemp is back in time.
Here's the set, the rack and the pitch, and a strike on the inside corner to Smalley.
He takes it for a strike to one ball and two strikes.
Outfield playing Smalley straight away at the infield, of course.
Double play depth, they'd like to get something on the ground here.
The Yankees have a base runner, Kemp at first.
There's one out and Tudor again will check the runner back to the bag.
Again, the left-hander Tudor as he looks to the runner.
Here's the pitch, Smalley swings and bounces one on the right side.
It's a base hit.
Off at second base is Kemp and he'll hold there as Evans is up to the ball very quickly
and makes a lot throw in to Remy into the infield.
Back to back base hits by Kemp and Smalley, and the Yankees have runners at first and second.
One away and Andre Robertson will be the hitter.
That ball was just past the diving Jerry Remy at second base.
And Andre stepping in.
Robertson, oh for what, he lined out to left fielder Jim Rice his first time up.
Smalley Yankees threaten to take the lead here and they find them half of the fifth inning.
Two on, one down, and the pitch.
Robertson swings and fouls a fastball back out of play and strike one to count.
Andre Robertson the batter, Steve Kemp is at second base.
And Roy Smalley behind him at first base.
And the Yankees and the Red Sox in a scoreless game.
Yankees have all the hits on the board, they have four.
The Red Sox are still looking for their first hit off of Dave Rigetti.
Now the set to look.
And here's the tutor pitch.
Andre swings and fouls another fastball off to the upper deck, off to the right.
And the count is no balls and two strikes to Andre Robertson.
Tutor ready as he checks the runners and the curve is wide.
It's one ball and two strikes to count.
The Yankees had two on in the first inning.
The Caponeras open the game with a single for the Yankees and install second base.
Winfield walk and with two on, Panela lined out sharply to Hoffman the shortstop.
He turned it into an unassisted double play.
Erasing the Caponeras.
It's the left and Kemp is going to score and the Yankees will have the early lead here.
So Steve Kemp scores and Andre Robertson hits the left.
And the Yankees lead it one to nothing.
Smalley stops at second base.
Yankees now have five hits in the game and that's RBI number 14 on the year for Andre Robertson.
The Yankees come up with three straight hits, all of them singles.
And they have the first run in the game.
They lead it one to nothing and here's Caponeras who is two for two.
And the pitch, a fast ball high and wide, one ball and no strikes.
Caponeras single to left in the first inning and then looked to single into right center in the third inning.
Smalley at second, Robertson at first and still one out.
Manningly on deck.
Here's the set by Tudor pitch to Caponeras, inside ball two and two balls and no strikes.
Kemp's face hit was a low liner that skipped off the glove of first baseman Dave Stapleton.
Smalley's hit passed a diving Jerry Remy in the right field.
And Robertson's hit on the left side passed Hoffman and Boggs inside ball three.
Three balls and no strikes account to first Caponeras.
Well, Tudor is in danger now of loading the bases here with only one out in the inning.
Three balls, no strikes account to Caponeras.
Thus far, Tudor has walked only one in the game.
That was Winfield back in the first inning.
Here on the pitch, that's a strike on the inside corner.
And it's three balls and one strike to count.
Well, the Red Sox have Bob Stanley loosening up now on the both end.
Now the set.
Here's the three-one delivery as Tudor looks to the runners and pitches strike two.
At the liners on the outside corner and a full count now three and two.
So Caponeras takes a pair of strikes and account now three balls and two strikes.
Smalley, the lead runner at second.
Robertson behind him at first.
Ready to work.
Left-hander Tudor sets and pitches.
High ball bowl.
That'll load the bases.
Caponeras is on at first.
Robertson moves to second.
Smalley is on to third.
And the batter is going to be Don Mattingly.
And here in the bottom of the fifth, the Yankees have the lead at one to nothing.
Andre Robertson's base hit the left scourge, Steve Kemp from second.
And the threat continues with the bases loaded.
Only one out.
And the batter, Don Mattingly, is 0-2 in the game.
Flying to left.
Hopped up.
Second baseman Remy Kottabon ends up being a double play.
And the pitch.
It's high.
One ball and no strikes.
Curveball just missed upstairs to the left-handed hitting Mattingly.
One ball, no strikes.
Bases loaded.
Lead runner at third, Roy Smalley.
Full line by Tudor.
And here's the pitch.
Mattingly swings and fouls it back to the upper deck.
And a count at one ball and one strike.
Winfield due up next.
Everybody at a base for the Yankees.
As Tudor works to the line and a one-one to Mattingly.
The curve is in for a strike and it is now one and two.
Mattingly takes the curveball and one ball, two strikes to count.
Mattingly steps back in.
Tudor checks the lead runner, Smalley at third.
Here's the one-two delivery.
Swings.
Good strike three.
Got him on a breaking pitch.
Out of the strike zone.
Mattingly is down.
Strikeout number one in the game for left-hander John Tudor.
And now here's the confrontation between John Tudor and Dave Winfield.
As Winfield steps in.
Now Winfield, three RBI's in the series, a two-run homer on Saturday night.
And he picked up an RBI on a ground-down yesterday.
0 for 1 this afternoon.
He walked in the first inning.
And he flied to center fielder Tony Armas in the void.
Tudor to the line and here's the pitch to Winfield.
Inside a ball and one and 0.
Tudor's got to be careful here.
He can't afford to work too far behind Winfield.
He has no place to put him.
That count, one ball and no strikes.
Smalley at third.
Roberts at second.
Kevin Harris at first.
And the pitch.
That's a strike.
Got the ladders on the inside corner.
And the count is even at one and one.
Winfield, ticket.
One ball, one strike.
Tudor trying to work out of a jam here in the fifth.
Bases loaded into Winfield.
Trying to help the Yankees break the game open.
They lead one to nothing.
And the pitch.
Strike two and it's one and two.
Oh, Winfield had a cut at that fast ball.
Now Tudor has the advantage.
Hitter ahead of hitter at one ball and two strikes.
Winfield has to be more protective of the plate.
Outfield straight away for Winfield.
They play him deep.
And the line by Tudor.
Here's the delivery.
Popped it up.
Foul ground.
Newman coming back.
He may have room.
It's out of play.
Seven, eight rows up in the back seats.
Off to the left.
Winfield is still in there at one ball and two strikes.
Yankees get the first run of the game.
And a base hit from Andre Robertson.
Scored Steve Kemp from second.
Now Winfield steps out.
Then gets back in.
He'll take his time.
John Tudor standing tall in the mound.
He's ready to work.
Here's the one, two delivery.
The pitch.
Swing.
Missed strike three.
Struck him out of a fast ball.
John Tudor really rears back and gets Winfield.
Strikes that two and the Yankees first two in the game.
At the end of five the Yankees won the Red Sox nothing.
One down the other.
Ninety ball out of the Little House.
Virginia해눈G?
Nope.
Oh, baby, it's coming true.
For all you do, it's me and my all you.
It's me and my all you.
Oh, baby, it's me and my all you.
So it is you, for you, you know.
Baby, it's coming true.
For all you do, it's me and my all you.
It's me and my all you.
And I'm the foot, St. Louis, Missouri.
I'm on a truckload of cattle.
I need tires that are tough, tires I can depend on.

They depend on General Radials for their family cars, too.
I use General's Amerisport Radials for their performance.
Amerisport Radials are General's breed of tough.
With its wraparound tread that gives great traction and performance.
I want my wife to have dependable tires, too.
She has General Dual Steel 3s, General Dual Steel 3 Radials.

General's, they're tough enough for me, but they're tough enough for you.
Some day you'll come. Some day you'll come.
You never later, you'll understand.
Shore Tanger Company, located in Ricktown.
Don't go easy.
One-foot-five celebration will continue.
Well, the Yankees have the lead at one to nothing.
As the Red Sox come to bat in the top half of the sixth inning,
a ground ball single on the left side that just made it through
past Boggs and Hoffman and into left field,
scoring Kemp from second base and the game's long run thus far.
Today's Martin Brothers lucky number is 493.
Let me repeat the number, 493.
If you are today's lucky number winner,
go to your nearest Martin Brothers location with your card,
and you'll receive a $50 gift certificate.
David Gatti working to Jeff Duman, the lead-off batter for the Red Sox here
in the top half of the sixth inning, and one to nothing, the Yankees ahead.
And the first pitch to Duman is outside the ball, one ball to no strikes.
Duman struck out swinging in the third, and it's 0-1 in the game.
Swing and a foul, this one will reach to the upper deck,
bounces off the facing and back down onto the screen,
and the ball is striking out at Jeff Duman.
Red Sox and Yankees won't lead again until September.
On the 19th, the Yankees have a series at Boston.
Here's a fly to right, Kemp is there, and he's got it for the up.
And there's one down, the lead-off batter, Jeff Duman retired,
and Glenn Hoffman will step in.
And the Red Sox have their final appearance here at Yankee Stadium
the very next week, September 27th through the 29th.
All right, here's Hoffman, the number nine batter of the order,
Oprah Waddy struck out his first time up,
and a high fastball, it's one ball to no strikes.
Dave Gatti.
First eight outs, seven of them were strikeouts.
And a bit of curve popped in the air,
Wynand are coming back, but it'll be out of play.
It's on the screen, and the count is a ball and a strike now to Hoffman.
Yankees and the Red Sox, final game of the four-game series.
The Yankees won the opener on Friday night, 12-8.
The Sox came back with wins Saturday night and yesterday afternoon.
Curve fouled to the upper deck, off to the right, out of play.
And the count is one ball and two strikes to Glenn Hoffman.
Yankees have a run on five hits and no airs.
The Red Sox, no runs, no hits, and they've made one air.
Gatti pitching here in the sixth inning, one down and nobody on.
Gatti erects to the line, and here's the pitch.
Chas missed with a breaking pitch on the outside corner,
and it's a 2-2 count now to Glenn Hoffman.
Jerry Remy, do up next.
It centers eight, nine, and one on the order to face Gatti here in the top half of the sixth inning.
Here's the line and the 2-2 delivery.
Hoffman swings, looks one in the shallow left, up play.
Spaley back, and he makes a running drive.
Roy Spaley running away from the infield, and into shallow left.
Over the head catch to retire Hoffman, two down in the inning,
and the batter is going to be Jerry Remy who is struck out and grounded to first.
I see they have a rain and wind delay in Detroit now with the Tigers-Orioles game.
Detroit is leading that game by a, excuse me, Baltimore is leading by a 5-4 score.
Todd Cruz has hit a home run for Baltimore.
He's helped them since coming over from Seattle.
Strike one to count to Remy, and here's the pitch.
A slider outside, and it is one and one.
Gatti has not pitched many sliders this afternoon.
It's been mostly fastball and curveball,
and he was using the curveball very effectively in the early innings.
He's struck out Evans and Hoffman on excellent breaking pitches, real good curveballs.
Here's the one-one delivery swing, and it's a high fastball.
Remy went after a pitch out of the strikes zone,
but that's been a very typical Raggetty pitch here today.
That one really fired in there by Raggetty.
He's had some kind of fastball this afternoon.
So it's one-two to count to Remy, two down, nobody on.
The Red Sox batting here in the sixth inning, trailing one to nothing.
Remy swings and fouls a fastball to the upper deck off to the left,
and it'll be a ball and two strikes still to the left-handed hitter.
Winfield in center field is not playing Remy as pronounced as Mumfrey has been
in earlier games of this series.
Davis shaded toward left center.
Here's a swing and a high pop to the shortstop.
Third baseman Campanera is waving off smally now.
It can't be mixed to grab.
In the cut of the infield, that's going to be all for Remy,
and the Sox here in the sixth inning.
No runs, no hits, no errors, and nobody left.
Raggetty now in the four of the six innings that he's pitched,
retiring the side in order.
At the end of five and a half, the Yankees won and the Red Sox nothing.
Over the years, more fans have taken themselves out to New York Yankee ballgames than to those of any other team in the history of baseball.
Why such interest in one team?
Maybe it's because that interest has been paid back with such a huge dividend.
In the past 62 years, the Yankees have won more than half the American League pennants
of the World Series play, which just proves the old adage.
If you give the folks what they want, they'll keep coming back.
At Chemical Bank, we think that's the perfect formula for serving our customers,
a formula that helps make the chemistry just right.
So all of us at Chemical would like to salute the New York Yankees
for being an inspiration to all of us who strive for the best.

The Yankees are holding a 1-0 lead.
The Play-Doh batter will be Lou Benalla.
The Play-Doh batter is Benalla Better.
All right, here's Benalla leading it up.
Now as the Yankees come to bat, this being the bottom half of the sixth inning.
Benalla was out on a line drive his first time up and then flying to left.
Deep play ball and race car to the warning track.
Second time up in the fourth inning.
Oh, for two in the game.
Benalla had an opportunity and a low-liner right up the middle and Huffman made a very good play.
He moved to his left corner and then doubled off Campaneras at second base.
Benalla's play, a high fly, deep center field, back, back, back.
Warning track and deep center.
The ball is normally contact there, Bill.
Yeah, Armaz gets a good jump on the ball or some of the questions as to whether or not he might be able to play center field.
He certainly is not embarrassed himself.
He's done an excellent job in his service.
So, Lou Benalla takes Tony Armaz to the warning track and dead-away center.
Hits the ball over 400 feet.
But it's nothing more than a long out here at Yankee Stadium and there's one away.
Don Baylor who is 0 for 2 flying to left, flying to center and the pitch down low and one ball, no strikes.
Yankees have five hits in the game, two for Campaneras.
And then they had consecutive singles by Kep, Smalley, and Robertson.
That produced the game's long run in the fifth inning.
Baylor swings, fouls a fastball to the upper deck, and it's a two-strike count now.
Don Baylor.
Following Baylor will be Butch Weininger.
Here's the pitch.
High blast, deep left field, way back, way back.
Touch of all, Don Baylor.
Ball run number nine on the air for Baylor. To the left field seats, Yankees lead it by a 2-0 score.
That's a steady runner for Don Baylor.
Yankees sixth ball run of this series.
And a 2-0 lead.
Got a fastball and lined it into the left field seats.
Banner now is Weininger, and the pitch to him is a strike on the outside gunner, and it's no balls and one strike.
Red Sox have nine homers in the series. They are homerless, thus far today.
A ball and a strike to count to Weininger.
Butch Batting and 0 for 2 in the game, reached it in the air, and popped to the second baseman, Remy.
Down low, 2-1 to count.
Six hits in the game for the Yankees now.
And the pitch, that's high, 3-1.
Yankees now have 80 home runs, they're playing in their 76th game today.
And they've hit 40 at home and 40 on the road.
By the left, it's back and it's deep. Rice is right at the wall to make some ground.
Good catch.
I don't know if he took a home run away from Weininger or not, but he made a good grab.
He did make a good catch. He went back to the wall and leaped and caught it.
It would have been high off the wall.
Rice probably plays deep in the left field as you'll find here at this ballpark.
He will not allow anything over his head to be out of the ballpark.
And Bob Stanley gets up and starts throwing again in the Red Sox bullpen.
Right here is Steve Kemp. Kemp swings in the first pitch and hits one on one hop to stable.
And then he knocks it down and then flips to the Richard Tudor covering for the out of the inning.
It's over. That's going to be all now for the Yankees here in the sixth inning.
They get a run out and a hit and a hummer by Baylor.
No errors and nobody laughed at it.
At the end of sixth hole, the Yankees lead the Red Sox 2-0.
The Yankees lead the Yankees to the second half of the game.
Fans are standing all over the stadium.
The Yankees lead the Yankees to the second half of the game.
The Yankees lead the Yankees to the third base side.
The Yankees lead for nothing.
Glenn Hoffman is at second base two outs in the top of the ninth inning.
The Yankees lead the Yankees to the third base.

Well, what more can be said? A no-hitter pitched by Dave Rigetti.
Here on this 4th of July afternoon, temperature on the playing field had to be over 100 degrees.
The official temperature at game time was 94,
and out there with the sun beating down and the humidity,
Dave Rigetti made history for himself and the New York Yankees.
And what a birthday present for Yankee owner George Steinbrenner,
whom we hope was listening to our ball game this afternoon on this, his birthday,
as well as the birthday of this great country of ours.
Dave Rigetti, 4 walks, 9 strikeouts, and no hits, no runs by the Boston Red Sox.
The Yankees, 4 runs, 8 hits, no errors, 7 men left on base.
Don Baylor hit his 9th home run of the year for run number 2 for the Yankees.
And the Red Sox, no runs, no hits, 1 error, and 2 men left on base.
You know, sort of just thinking myself, this is the 3rd no-hitter I've seen.
One pitched by Al Downing in the minor leagues,
one pitched by Steve Barber and Stu Miller at Baltimore,
and they lost the ball game 2-1.
But this afternoon, a perfect effort by, not a perfect game,
a great effort by Dave Rigetti, 4 walks, 9 strikeouts, and a no-hitter.
His record now for the year, 10 wins and 3 losses, John Tudor the loser, 5-5.

I'm gonna make it anywhere. It's up to you. New York, New York, New York.
You there, young lady. Have I come to the correct location?
Is this one of those Rockwell salvage stores I hear so much about?
Yes, it is, sir. Gee, is that your Rolls Royce out there?
Yes, of course. Look here, I'm a very busy man.
Please direct me to the sales items I've heard about that are 40 to 70 percent off the regular retail price.
But sir, all of Rockwell's items are always 40 to 70 percent off.
You see, Rockwell buys job lots, surplus, and seconds in such volume, they're able to pass the savings on to the customer.
You mean all this houseware, glassware, hardware, and auto supplies are always this inexpensive?
That's right, sir. Rockwell has everything for inside and outside your home.
Excellent, my dear. I say, what a lucky find. The scooter will help me get around my mansion.
Hey, if you're so wealthy, why shop at Rockwell?
Because I wish to stay wealthy, my dear.

Good afternoon once again, everybody. I'm Frank Messer with John Gordon at Yankee Stadium as we wrap up a no-hit pitching performance by Yankee left-hander Dave Rigetti.
Rigetti, no-hitting the Red Sox. He walked four, he struck out nine.
The last no-hitter pitched by a Yankee pitcher was the perfect game pitched by Don Larson.
That was the fifth game of the 1956 World Series. It happened on October 8th. That was the only perfect game in World Series history.
And that was the last no-hitter pitched by a Yankee pitcher until this afternoon.
And I have to credit my wife, Rebecca, with this phone call just to the booth a few moments ago, saying that, of course, Dave Rigetti wears number 19.
And so did Don Larson.
The last regular season no-hitter pitched by a Yankee was Allie Reynolds against the Boston Red Sox, September 28th, the first game of a doubleheader.
In fact, in 1951, Allie Reynolds pitched two no-hitters, one against Cleveland on July 12th and the one against the Boston Red Sox on September 28th.
We're going to go back and listen to some of the highlights on this afternoon's game right now, and we start in the fifth inning.
It was a scoreless ball game, one out. Weininger popped to the second baseman. Then Kemp had an infield hit, moved up on a base hit to right field by Roy Smalley, and the batter is Andre Robertson.
It's the left, and Kemp is going to score, and the Yankees will have the early lead here. So, Steve Kemp scores on an Andre Robertson hit to left, and the Yankees lead it 1-0.
Yes, the Yankees had a 1-0 lead. It was 1-0 when we went to the bottom half of the sixth inning. Lou Pennella flied to center field, one out, and with John Tudor pitching for the Boston Red Sox, the batter is Don Baylor.
A nice blast, deep left field, way back, way back. Touch of all, Don Baylor.
Home run number nine on the air for Baylor. To the left field seats, and the Yankees lead it by a 2-0 score.
Yes, 2-0, John Gordon, and now the bottom half of the eighth inning. Don Manningly popped to the shortstop.
Dave Winfield had an infield hit. Pennella fouled out to the catcher play on which played umpire Steve Palermo was quite shaken up, but would not leave the ballgame.
Winfield at first, Winfield went from first to second on the catch of that foul pop-up by catcher Jeff Newman.
That dictated an intentional walk to Don Baylor with first base open. An unintentional walk to Butch Weineger loaded the bases, and the batter is Steve Kemp.
Here's the first pitch to Kemp. Line base hit will go in the corner right field. Winfield scores easily. Baylor will score.
And Weineger will hold at third base. The Yankees now lead 4-0.
And of course there is another big highlight we have on tape of this ballgame. We're going to save it for just a little bit later on.
I'll be back with more of the wrap-up after these messages.
I've got a great family and a great job. I can't afford to waste my time shopping for bargains.
In most cases what seems like the best offer always has some strings attached. Same thing with banks and these new money market accounts.
I knew my family needed one, but where? I turned to the Lincoln Savings Bank. No fanfare, no confusion.
They gave me just what I needed. A darn good rate, old reliable FDIC insurance, and a great feeling of satisfaction.
With a family of four, you never can predict when you need some extra cash to solve a crisis or seize an opportunity.
Lincoln's daily market account keeps our money available to us without penalty. It gives us total access to our money whenever we need it, as often as we need it.
To a family that's always on the run, Lincoln is always there. If you don't have time to waste in the money market maze, call the Lincoln at 263-8000.

Mel Allen and Dick Cavett for Apple Computer.
Mel, who's baseball's most versatile player?
You could say Bert Campanaris. He once played all nine positions in a single game.
Wow.
Well, who's your pick, Dick?
I'd say the remarkable Apple IIe personal computer.
How's that?
Well, it's now playing for several major league teams at the same time, helping to raise RBIs and lower ERAs.
The IIe's a big hit in other fields, too, and at home. It's got more software, more applications for the home than any other personal computer.
And right now, the Apple IIe is priced at a steal.
Well, how about that? Say, Dick, how about a Bert Campanaris autographed baseball for an Apple IIe?
No.

We've turned things around a little bit this afternoon because John Gordon has already been in the dugout to chat with Dave Rigetti immediately following the ball game.
And, John, he had so much emotion was coming out just in his words, and you were just right there next to him.
It was really amazing. Halfway between a sentence he just kind of paused and went, whoo!
Yeah.
And I think that exemplifies the way that he was feeling and how long it's going to take for him to wind down.
I did happen to go into locker room afterwards. I wanted to see Butch Weineger, the first no-hitter that Butch Weineger has ever caught in the big leagues.
And as thrilled as Dave Rigetti is, Butch Weineger is feeling the same emotion right along with him.
And Butch was talking about the last out of the game, the strikeout of Boggs, and just saying how much he wanted to see Boggs strike out.
He said, I was just hoping that he would strike out.
All right. Now, the highlight that we save back for this portion of our broadcast. Let's go back and listen.
The Yankees lead 4-0. Glenn Hoffman is at second base, two outs in the top of the ninth inning.
And Dave Rigetti on the threshold of making history here at Yankee Stadium.
He sets the kick and the pitch. He's struck him out!
Rigetti has pitched a no-hitter!
Dave Rigetti has pitched a no-hitter!
He strikes out Boggs for the final out of the ball game.
And the Yankees pour on the field to congratulate Dave Rigetti.
Well, that was quite a moment, John Gordon, just watching the entire team charge on the field.
As Rigetti told you, he thought Weineger was going to crush him, I guess, if he put a bear hug around him.
And a beautiful call by you, too, Frank. Nice going.
But, you know, it's something that Weineger should mention that to a number of reporters and media people that were gathered around him downstairs about wanting to strike out Boggs.
Of course, the leading hit man in the major leagues, and he's facing Rigetti in the absolute confrontation of confrontations in the top of the ninth inning and the no-hit bid.
I also had a chance to chat with Sammy Ellis just a little bit.
And Sammy Ellis has been the man, of course, who has tutored Dave Rigetti ever since the start of Rigetti's New York Yankee career at Columbus in New York, back down to Columbus again, back to New York, back down to Columbus and everything.
Sammy Ellis said, you know, it's amazing the way that this man has come of age now as a major league pitcher to watch him pitch today.
And this is, as Sammy said, kind of like it's fitting that he should pitch a no-hitter here at Yankee Stadium because he deserves it so much with the great pitching talent that he has.
Well, wasn't it just last year that Rigetti was sent back down to Columbus to work under Sammy Ellis?
Yes, it was.
Much to Dave's disappointment, I'm sure, at that time, but in the long run, everything's really paid off for him.
Yeah, it really has.
And I just mentioned one other quick thing.
The people that are around Dave Rigetti right now, the television cameras, the radio reporters, the newspaper men, they're just huddling around him, walking back upstairs.
And a youngster mentioned to me, he said, you know, it's going to take Rigetti some two hours before he gets a shower, before he gets a chance to clean up a little bit and leave Yankee Stadium because that's what it's all about as far as the opportunity.
And pitching a no-hitter and talking to the people down in the locker room, the press corps, the media corps, and he's just being swamped right now.
Oh, I'm sure he is, but I'm sure he's handling it very well.
Dave Rigetti, just 24 years of age, should have a great career in front of him.
And I remember when the Yankees traded for Dave Rigetti.
We'll just mention the people in the trade, Mike Griffin, Paul Mirabello, Juan Beníquez, and Greg Jemison came to the Yankees for pitchers Sparky Lyle, Larry McCall, and Dave Racich.
Catcher Mike Heath, shortstop Domingo Ramos.
There was also cash involved that trade made in November 1978.
But as I recall, the trade, the Yankees refused to make the trade unless Rigetti was part of it.
George Steinbrenner insisted on Rigetti, the entire front office insisted that Rigetti be included in that trade.
And that was the start of his Yankees career coming here from the Texas Rangers.
A number of bottles of champagne are being delivered to the Yankee clubhouse right now.
And they're going to Dave Rigetti, Butch Weineger, and the rest of the Yankees for what has been just a great moment in baseball history here at Yankee Stadium today.
I imagine that Mr. Steinbrenner's champagne bill will sort of skyrocket.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Yankee owner didn't have champagne there for everybody in those huge, huge magnum bottles.
That's exactly right. Listen, you and Rebecca and the family have a real good Fourth of July.
I look forward to seeing you when the Yankees open the road trip at Kansas City.
Okay, the same to you and Nancy and Gordy and Gene. Have fun.
Thanks, Frank. Everybody else too.
Thank you. As most valuable player of this afternoon's game, Dave Rigetti will receive a gift from the Sergio Valenti catalog.
I'll be back with more after this time out.

Here again the totals on the ball game for the Boston Red Sox. For the New York Yankees, let's start with them.
The Yankees, four runs, eight hits, no errors, seven men left. The Red Sox, no runs, no hits, one error, two men left.
A no-hitter for Dave Rigetti, his tenth win of the year against three losses. John Tudor, the loser, five and five.
One home run on the ball game. Don Baylor hit his ninth of the year for New York.

Well, with the Yankees winning this afternoon, Toronto plays later, so the Yankees are two games at the moment behind the Toronto Blue Jays.
Baltimore and Detroit were rained out, so the Yankees pull into a tie with Detroit for third place as both the Yankees and the Tigers now trail Toronto by two.
Baltimore is a game out. Let's take a look at games that were played this afternoon in the American League.
The Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 12-6. There were 29 hits in the ball game at the Dome in Minnesota.
But only two home runs. Greg Walker hit his sixth for Chicago. Rusty Koontz his second for Minnesota.
Chicago 12-6 over the Twins. Dennis Lamp the winner 5-5. And Jeff Lysander the loser 2-7.
Baltimore and Detroit got four innings in with Baltimore leading 5-4 at the end of four.
Wind and rain delay and it just never let up, so they postponed that game in Detroit.
The rest of the American League action will be tonight. Seattle at Toronto, Milwaukee at Cleveland, Kansas City at California, and Texas at Oakland.

In the National League, the Mets will play down in Philadelphia tonight. There were three games this afternoon that we have scores on for you.
Finals, that is. The Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals played a doubleheader and as so often happens, they split.
The Pirates won the first game 7-2. 12 hits for Pittsburgh, 9 hits for St. Louis. Rick Roden went the distance. For his sixth win of the year, he has lost seven.
Jason Thompson had the game's only home run, his 11th.
Pirates winning the first game 7-2, the Cardinals came back with a vengeance in the nightcap, winning 11-4. A grand slam home run by Darrell Porter highlighted the ball game for the Cardinals.
Neil Allen went the distance to pick up the win. He's 5-8. Jim Bibby took the loss. He's 3-9. The Cardinals had 18 hits in the nightcap, so they split. Pittsburgh 7-2 in the opener. The Cardinals 11-4 in the nightcap.
Montreal to Chicago for a doubleheader. The Expos won the first game 6-3. They got off with three runs in the very first inning.
As Andre Dawson and Gary Carter homered, Dawson hit his second home run of the game and 17th of the season in the third. And Montreal beat the Cubs 6-3.
Steve Rogers the winner, 12-3. And Dick Ruth from the loser, 5-6.
The second game is now in the fourth inning. Montreal leads by a score of 2-0, Scott Sanderson opposing Ferguson Jenkins.
Cincinnati plays in Atlanta tonight, and Los Angeles will be at Houston, and the San Francisco Giants at San Diego in night games.
Here at Yankee Stadium on this 4th of July, 1983, Dave Rigetti made history. He pitched a no-hitter, the first no-hitter by a Yankee pitcher since Don Larson's perfect game in the 1956 World Series.
The Yankees beat the Red Sox 4-0, gaining a split in their four-game series. A crowd of 41,077 on hand for the Classic.
For the Yankees, four runs, eight hits, no errors, seven men left. And for the Boston Red Sox, no runs, no hits, one error, and two men left.
Rigetti walked four and struck out nine in posting his 10th win of the year against only three losses, and he started and ended the game with a strikeout.
The losing pitcher, John Tudor, his record five and five. Congratulations, Dave Rigetti.
