2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Atlanta has been a tough opponent for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a>. Now the hard slider of swinging a miss one ball at his right.

3
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Lifetime against Atlanta, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> has won four and lost eleven. This year he's lost one decision to the break.

4
00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:01,000
The Nets of the outfield swung around toward left. Breaking ball in the dirt backhanded nicely by Jerry Grudy in the count even 2-2.

5
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:11,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-adair/>Bill Adair</a> is on the coaching lines at first base. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-kennedy/>Bob Kennedy</a>, the former Chicago Cub manager, is on the lines at third.

6
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Fishing 2-2. A high pop fly on the left side of the diamond. Hands swindled by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> on the rim of the outfield grass. He has it for the off.

7
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Center fielder <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mack-jones/>Mack Jones</a> won the opening game of the series for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> with an opposite field home run hitting the 11th inning.

8
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Jones hitting a 2-50 with 11 homers, 32 runs batted in. He goes after a high heart with a strike one.

9
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:01,000
The Nets of the Yankees in the Mayors benefit game on Wednesday night up at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a> in the Bronx. Game time 8 p.m. Hope you can make it.

10
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Fly ball in the air to the right center. Ron Swabota digging for it throws <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-stahl/>Larry Stahl</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-stahl/>Larry Stahl</a> makes the catch.

11
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:40,000
The ball hung in the air but it was not hit very deep. Both Swabota and Stahl running at full tilt. Stahl picked it up running at full speed in shallow right center.

12
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Now the all-star Nats of the gas fielder Henry Aaron. Henry hitting 325 shares the home run lead with Houston's Jimmy Winn. He chants 21.

13
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Line drive in the left field up a 30 crack the curve ball. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> up with it plays the ball back in.

14
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Swabota single left by Henry Aaron. Now Crane Drew moves over to hold against him defensively.

15
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:18,000
In the batter is Rico Cardi the left fielder hitting a 2-70. Cardi has 10 homers and 37 runs batted in.

16
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And Fisher throws the first not in time.

17
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Now the sun is breaking through the overcast and the playing field is bathed in a bright sunshine.

18
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Down comes the pitch. Bow ball back to the screen. A one strike down on Rico Cardi.

19
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,000
The weather of the showers the weatherman had talked about had the possibility yesterday or early last night.

20
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Finally arrived after the old timers game was all over. The timing was absolutely perfect.

21
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:59,000
The flowers are thankful. Here's the pitch on the way. It's inside one ball and one strike. And so are the mess.

22
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,000
The ball is in the air.

23
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a> waiting on deck.

24
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Many of the baseball people will be heading for the airport after today's game to fly to Anaheim, California for the All-Star game.

25
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:30,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-seaver/>Tom Seaver</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> will be going for New York. Ken is the player representative and the player representatives will have a session during the All-Star break.

26
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:44,000
The 1-1 delivery by Fisher fell back over the screen right under our broadcasting booth and the scramble is on as the ball ricochets back downstairs.

27
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Henry Aaron, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a> and Denny LaMaster will be flying to Anaheim to represent the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> for the All-Star game.

28
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:00,000
The 1-2 delivery hit off the end of the bat foul. LaMaster has been pitching great ball for Atlanta.

29
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
After being named to the All-Star team, Denny was hurt and will miss the game due to the injury.

30
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:11,000
His place on the pitching staff has been taken by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chris-short/>Chris Short</a> of Philadelphia.

31
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Pitching 1-2. Ground ball hit down under the glove of Crane Bull on in the right field.

32
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Aaron around second is cruising toward third and the Braves have runners on first and third.

33
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
LaMaster base hit the right field by Rico Cartier with all that.

34
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Most of the time I think Crane Bull would just. He never touched the ball. It went under his glove as he went off to his glove's side trying to get it.

35
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:49,000
And suddenly trouble jumps up in front of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> here in the opening inning.

36
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Runners on first and third, two men down and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a> is the batter.

37
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
And a drive into the right, a base hit by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a>.

38
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Here's Aaron down the line to score the first run of the afternoon.

39
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Galloping around the third goes Rico Cartier.

40
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,000
And the Braves on three hits in a row have taken the lead 1-0.

41
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
That's the third.

42
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
That's the fourth.

43
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Number six.

44
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Weasley.

45
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:24,000
For <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a> his 39th run batted in.

46
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Now the hitter is Pete Boyer.

47
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Pete the runner up on the Atlanta ballglove and runs batted in.

48
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
He has 49.

49
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Runners at the corners, two men away.

50
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
They're retired the first two batters, but three hits in a row and the Braves have a run in.

51
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Now the pitcher on the way, low and outside as the ball was.

52
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Now the phone has been answered down in the midst both then by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/harvey-haddix/>Harvey Haddix</a> and Dick Salma starts to warm up.

53
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
On a day like this it doesn't take long to be warmed up.

54
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Here's the pitcher on the way, curveball over for a strike one and one.

55
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,000
The old timers used to say in baseball on a day like this, Ralph, all you have to do is comb your hair and your arms get loose.

56
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Cover your comb, you can be ready.

57
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
That's right.

58
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Hot and humid.

59
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Now Groney's setting up the target, the pitch to Pete Boyer. Gets the outside corner, he was in the black with that, one ball and two strikes.

60
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:46,000
But Harrelson shaded toward the hole on the left side of the infield against Pete Boyer who has a good stroke to pull the ball.

61
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-johnson-2/>Bob Johnson</a> plays him to hit the ball toward the middle as he shades over toward second.

62
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:59,000
The one-two pitch, round ball on the right side of the batman, in front of it is Johnson. He throws the crane to the side of the box.

63
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
One run, three hits, no errors, two left on.

64
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:13,000
And score in the middle of the first, the bravest one, and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> coming to bat.

65
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Last of the first inning, the York behind, one nothing. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> leads off against the veteran right-hander, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-johnson/>Jim Johnson</a>.

66
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:31,000
But warmly received by the crowd here at Shea's, the play at shortstop has been big league in every way.

67
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:38,000
For the month of July, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> is now hitting 424.

68
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,000
He now on the year is hitting 291 batting left-handed.

69
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Johnson swings out of his windup, the pitch inside and low, ball wide.

70
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Quite a job by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> when you realize that he never batted left-handed in his life until spring training a year ago.

71
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Now he's hitting 291 on the big leagues left-handed.

72
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Pitched by Johnson, off the outside corner, two balls and no strikes.

73
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Far more right-handers than left-handers in the nice to the leg, and as a result, Harrelson is up about twice as much hitting left as he is right.

74
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,000
The 2-0 delivery, and a drive hit towards the gap, and left center field is thinking in for a base hit.

75
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And Harrelson takes the turn. He's on with a single left center.

76
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,000
He was using that bat from the left side of the plate like a magic wand.

77
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,000
The first part of the year he was using a light bat hitting left-handed.

78
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,000
He went for a bigger bat, a 36-inch, 35-ounce bat. Just started getting that bat on the ball, and Ralph, he's really guiding that ball around.

79
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000
The nice thing about it is the fact that he hasn't been striking out. He seldom misses a ball.

80
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000
He's been fouling off the pitches that he's trained at that he hasn't hit, the others he's hit into fair territory.

81
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
He's only been striking out about once every ten times at bat.

82
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Drive hit hard to left field by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-stahl/>Larry Stahl</a>, racing back as Cardigan, he one-hands the ball back on the edge of the warning track.

83
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
But Harrelson has the scamper to get back. He was running on the plate.

84
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Hard hit drive by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-stahl/>Larry Stahl</a>, run down in deep left by Rico Cardigan.

85
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,000
That brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a>.

86
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Tommy has really been a wrecking crew against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> this year.

87
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Against Atlanta, and the two teams have now played 12 games this year, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> has a 435 batting average.

88
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Against the Braves, he's had 20 hits in 46 times at bat, and has driven in 12 runs against them in the 12 games.

89
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Here's the pitch on the way, and the breaking ball is outside. It looks like a knuckleball, ball one.

90
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:15,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>, veteran right-hander from West Palm Beach, Florida, pitching for Atlanta.

91
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,000
He has a wide repertoire of pitches, including a knuckleball. He has won eight and lost four.

92
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,000
He has a lifetime record against New York of nine wins and five losses.

93
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:35,000
And this year against him, that's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>, tall, side-arming right-hander, has won one and lost one.

94
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,000
There goes the runner, a ground ball hit down to first, bobble by a loop, and he picks it up.

95
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Makes the play at first, retiring <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a>, as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> moves over to second.

96
00:11:47,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Number seven, Eddie Crane, rule the clean-up batter, hitting a 313.

97
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Mets trail, one nothing. We're in the last half of the first inning.

98
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Following the all-star break, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> will open a homestand against Philadelphia.

99
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:28,000
And a slow grounder into the dirt foul by home plate. It came back up and struck the bat a second time.

100
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Following the all-star break, the Mets play Cincinnati and St. Louis, then come right back to Shea

101
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:41,000
for a four-game series against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/houston-astros/1967/overview/>Houston Astros</a>. A night game on Tuesday night, July the 18th.

102
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
A doubleheader on Wednesday, July 19th, on that senior citizens' day.

103
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
And a rescheduled game on Thursday night, July the 20th.

104
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:58,000
A swing and a foul hit as he goes after a knuckleball in the count of three, two.

105
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Thursday night, July 20th, will be batting helmet night, the boys and girls under 16, 16 all-under.

106
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Receiving a replica of the Mets batting helmet as they come into the stadium.

107
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> leads off second. He's the dying run. He picks the crane, rule a drive of the year to right field.

108
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>, drifting back to the warning track, takes it for the out.

109
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,000
The Mets had two drives that deep to the outfield that were caught.

110
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,000
No runs, one hit. No air, one left on.

111
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000
At the end of one inning, the score, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> won.

112
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,000
And the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> nothing.

113
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:48,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> on the mound for New York. Dennis Menke is leading off in the top half of the second inning.

114
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,000
And the hard sliders outside, one ball of no strike.

115
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,000
The Braves, with three hits in a row, picked up a run in the top half of the first inning.

116
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Aaron, Cardi, and Corey had the base hit.

117
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000
And a curve breaks right over for a strike, one ball and one strike.

118
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:12,000
And now Menke wants the ball extended by Shaq Crawford.

119
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:19,000
And the ball is all right. It stays on the game.

120
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:25,000
We'll keep you right up to date on all of the other action in the Major Leagues this afternoon.

121
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Foul ball, look out Ralph. Right over our head.

122
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Rikishang back down into the field back there.

123
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000
St. Louis won a big game last night on a home run on the 12th inning by Julian Javiera.

124
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
They beat the Phillies 6-4.

125
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Cardinals now have opened up a three and a half game lead over second place Chicago.

126
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Leo DeRosha's Cubs have now lost six three games.

127
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
The one two pitch.

128
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Inside is two and two.

129
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,000
The first ball has always been a game of streaks.

130
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Cubs had a marvelous streak, winning seven in a row, lost one, won another seven.

131
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
And a smash through the hole, a base hit to the left by Dennis Menke.

132
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Charles made a head-first dive for it and almost came up with it.

133
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:23,000
But the Cubbies have now lost six games in a row, and they'll rely on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rich-nye/>Rich Nye</a>,

134
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000
the left-hander who has seven wins to snap the losing streak in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/astrodome/>Astrodome</a> today.

135
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-wilson/>Don Wilson</a>, the author of the no-hit game for the Astros earlier in the year, will be on the mound.

136
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,000
St. Louis and Philadelphia tied 1-1 at the end of two and a half. Larry Joster against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bunning/>Jim Bunning</a>s.

137
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:49,000
An old friend of theirs, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-cowan/>Billy Cowan</a>, homered for Philadelphia, his second home run since being brought up.

138
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
And a pitch shot, nothing was on.

139
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000
A batty, nothing. A Pittsburgh, nothing. At the end of three and a half, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-nolan/>Gary Nolan</a>, seven and two.

140
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Nineteen-year-old rookie right-hander pitching for the Reds against ex-net Denny Rybant.

141
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Rybant has won four and lost four.

142
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Later in the afternoon, the Dodgers and the Giants at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/candlestick-park-i/>Candlestick Park</a> in San Francisco.

143
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,000
And Woodward, around the bun, had to get out of the way of an inside delivery.

144
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:28,000
And he missed the miss and no strike.

145
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Later this afternoon, the Yankees and the Orioles will complete a suspended game, the second game of a double-hitter last night.

146
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,000
There goes the runner, and it's a blue-pit down toward third, taken by Charles.

147
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000
All he has to do is throw the first for the double play.

148
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
The Braves are playing hit-and-run.

149
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,000
I believe Ralph thought that ball hit the ground and took a long high hop because he went a second and stopped it.

150
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,000
He didn't know that ball did not bounce.

151
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
He can't make an easier double play than that.

152
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:03,000
One of the prime rules on a double play when you're on first base as a runner is that you take a look at that hitter so you know where the ball's going.

153
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,000
And he certainly didn't do it because he didn't know that ball was in the air.

154
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000
He had to be told after he got the second and was standing there.

155
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Two outs and nobody on. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>, the batter.

156
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Breaking ball by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a>, low and outside, ball one.

157
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:28,000
When the second game at Baltimore last night was stopped because of the midnight curfew, it was the Yankees nothing and the Orioles nothing at the end of sixth.

158
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Dillman Busquett was pitching against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wally-bunker/>Wally Bunker</a>.

159
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:39,000
That suspended game will be completed and then the regular twilight game at 5.30 this evening.

160
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,000
The 1-1 pitch to Johnson, low and outside, two balls and a strike.

161
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/detroit-tigers/1967/overview/>Detroit Tigers</a> have been making a lot of noise again of late.

162
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Victor McCall of the city of 16th home run came in the first inning today.

163
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,000
And the Tigers lead Boston 1-0 against the end of 2. Jerry Pell against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-wilson/>Earl Wilson</a>.

164
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Washington 1, Cleveland nothing at the end of 4. First game of the double header.

165
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:10,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/phil-ortega/>Phil Ortega</a> pitching against Steve Hargit. Minnesota, Chicago in a double header. It will be caught and whorled in the first game.

166
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
And the curve is popped up on the left side of the infield.

167
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:19,000
But <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-wilson/>Earl Wilson</a> on the skin part of the diamond makes the catch the side is up.

168
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000
No runs, one hit, no errors, ten left.

169
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
At the end of an inning and a half, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> won. The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> nothing.

170
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Now here's a word from Rangel.

171
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:45,000
New York turning by run, last of the second run, Swabota leads off against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>.

172
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:52,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> is riding a personal forging and winning streak. He hasn't lost a ball game since the 4th of June.

173
00:18:52,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Ron Swabota to the floor.

174
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Ron hitting 259.

175
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:28,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> out of his windup. Ron Swabota runs up and tries to foul the ball off against the foot of umpire Shag Crawford.

176
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Ron has really been making some circus grabs in that outfield for New York. He made another one last night.

177
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:52,000
He's played about as much right field on this homestand as you can ask anybody to play.

178
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Johnson's delivery, a slow curve of swinging a miss and the counter strike too. He fadded around him with that.

179
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:04,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> throws so many different pitches at you. It's hard to figure along with him.

180
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:13,000
That was one right there that Swabota should have hit out of the parking lot. It was a hanging curve ball and sidearm, nice and flat.

181
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Another fad arm delivery and this one is over. Strike three called in the outside corner.

182
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:26,000
One thing about him, Ralph, is he's got so many different pitches and different deliveries that it's pretty hard to guess on him. You've got to just be ready.

183
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:36,000
One thing though, Bob, he doesn't throw hard so you can look for the soft stuff. You can actually look for breaking stuff off of him because his fast ball is not fast. He couldn't hurt you if he hit you.

184
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Couldn't puff you this, huh?

185
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Now, it's Charles the batter against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>. Fad arm delivery off the outside corner. One ball and no strike.

186
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:10,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-johnson-2/>Bob Johnson</a>, the on-deck batter. Ground ball bounced on the left side, cut off by a third backer, Quig Boyer, the fake Deau Allure, two men away.

187
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Two outs and nobody on. Johnson coming up.

188
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:23,000
That's the Wrangler Chugga Mug. It's a wide-mouthed glass mug that holds 12 ounces of beer. And it even feels right when you pick it up.

189
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:29,000
You know, we're selling them in handy cartons of six. They're just about the handiest sirsquintures in town.

190
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:36,000
You'll find Chugga Mug on special display at your local stores in New York and New Jersey.

191
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Inside and high at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-johnson-2/>Bob Johnson</a>. One ball and no strike.

192
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:51,000
This will be a busy ball club in Cincinnati as we open our next road trip with a twilight night doubleheader on Thursday night across the field.

193
00:21:51,000 --> 00:22:05,000
There's the fastest 50's drum and he wasted it inside and high ball, two to two and all.

194
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a> coaching at first and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/salty-parker/>Salty Parker</a> coaching at third.

195
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:18,000
The 2-0 delivery. A check swing foul balled it down the first baseline.

196
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:23,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-howard/>Frank Howard</a> has just hit his 23rd homerun of the year. It came in the fifth inning with a man on.

197
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Washington leads Cleveland, three to nothing at the end of four and a half.

198
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-howard/>Frank Howard</a>, Ralph, is really blossoming out. He's on his way to his biggest year by far.

199
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Oh they finally got him to spread out and quit striding and that's been his biggest ball all his life and he would never change. He finally has.

200
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Line drive hit by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-johnson-2/>Bob Johnson</a> and goes over Minkiewski in the left center field for a base hit.

201
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
As big as he is, he doesn't need to stride much either.

202
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,000
You remember players like Gus Zernio. They spread out and didn't stride.

203
00:22:52,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Vern Steaver and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gil-hodges/>Gil Hodges</a> had a stance that was a wide spread stance that used just a little bit of a stride

204
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000
and he finally prevailed on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-howard/>Frank Howard</a> to cut down that big stride where he would get way out in front and evidently that's made the big difference.

205
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,000
If a slugger has a hit to do swing, spreading out is just about the best thing you can do to a doctor that event.

206
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000
It will keep your balance and that's what you're looking for.

207
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-grote/>Jerry Grote</a> is the batter against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> and he takes inside ball one.

208
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Braves one, Metz nothing were in the last of the second.

209
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Felipe Lou holding against the baserunner <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-johnson-2/>Bob Johnson</a>.

210
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:51,000
He had Jerry fool. He tried to hold up on the swing but he had gone too far and counted even one ball one strike.

211
00:23:51,000 --> 00:24:11,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> on the mound. The big right hander's pitch is popped into the air between the mound and third base.

212
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Fleet 40 are under it and Fleet makes the cut to the side of the mound.

213
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:26,000
No runs, one hit, no errors and one left on. And at the end of two innings the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> won the New York Metz nothing.

214
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Now we go to the third inning here at Shady City and the Braves in front one nothing.

215
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:39,000
And as Felipe Lou runs up to get against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> coming up to follow all the action for you, Ralph Keiner.

216
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Thank you <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> and hi everyone. Felipe Lou the lead off here in the top of the third.

217
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000
The Braves in front one nothing. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> pitching for the Metz.

218
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,000
And the first pitch to the Lou, a curve ball, a wild swing and a miss at strike one.

219
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-howard/>Frank Howard</a> leads the major leagues in home runs now with his home run today.

220
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:06,000
His highest total 31 in any one season. Now the pitch backs, slight foul to the right side.

221
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Strike two. Frank now with 23 and the season about halfway through.

222
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:22,000
He untied the tie between himself and Harmon Killibrew.

223
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:30,000
From the national league a tie between <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-wynn/>Jim Wynn</a> and Hank Garrett for the leadership 21.

224
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Felipe Lou popped up the shortstop his first time up batting at 280 a right hand batter.

225
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,000
The two strike pitch by Fisher is popped up again this time in foul territory.

226
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Coming over is Ed Childs to make the play for this first out here in the third.

227
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Now the batter coming up is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mac-jones/>Mac Jones</a> and we'll pause for station identification.

228
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
This is the New York Metz baseball network.

229
00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:01,000
You're tuned to the bright sound in radio. WGY, a General Electric Broadcasting Company station at 810 on your dial.

230
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Schenectady, New York.

231
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Ralph Keiner along with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> from J Stadium.

232
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:20,000
The first pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mac-jones/>Mac Jones</a>, a curve ball down low and Jones goes for it, a swing and strike one.

233
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Braves, one, that's nothing.

234
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,000
In the background announcement that changes the stat sheet here.

235
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Now foul ball on the ground ball swing at strike two.

236
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:40,000
On the stat sheet they have the Metz in ninth place, virtually in a tie with Houston at 390.

237
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Actually what is the case, the Metz are 17 and one half games out of first place.

238
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Houston is 18 but due to the difference in game plays, Houston leads in percentage.

239
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:58,000
They have a percentage of 390 and be carried on down one more point for 3904.

240
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
The Metz have a percentage of 3896.

241
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Now the next pitch is outside.

242
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Fastball missing, one ball two strikes.

243
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:14,000
What they have done on the stat sheet was narrow it down to the nearest three number figure and that would put them both at 390.

244
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:25,000
But technically Houston is in ninth place, 8,000 of a percentage point higher than the Metz.

245
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Now a swing at a curve ball strike three and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> gets his second strike out.

246
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Right fielder, Hank.

247
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
That brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-aaron/>Hank Aaron</a>.

248
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Hank Singleton on one pitch his first time up and has scored the only run of the ball game.

249
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000
And with 21 home runs, 56 runs batted in.

250
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,000
He has scored 67 runs so far this year in 78 ball games.

251
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Batting 328, he grounds the first pitch down to short.

252
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,000
But Harrelson comes up throwing and gets him by about three strikes to retire the side.

253
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:06,000
One, two, three for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> and the score at the end of two and a half innings, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> won the New York Metz nothing.

254
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Whether you're buying your first or tenth car, it's time you became a smart car buyer and joined the ranks of the thousands of satisfied customers who shop Armory Garage, Central at Colvin and Albany.

255
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Now here are the three basic rules for the smart car buyer.

256
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Select the model you want.

257
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Then one, compare quality.

258
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Armory Garage boasts the largest selection of quality tested late model used cars in the area.

259
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Two, compare service.

260
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Armory's expert mechanics are qualified to service all the cars on the Armory lot.

261
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
And three, compare price.

262
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Armory's tremendous volume assures you more for your car buying dollar.

263
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Be a wise car buyer, drive into Armory Garage and talk over your used car needs with the sales manager, Art Neat.

264
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Let him introduce you to Armory's easy terms.

265
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000
You can buy, sign, and pay at Armory, home of 101 time payment plans.

266
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Your credit is wealth at Armory.

267
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Follow the wise car buyer to Armory Garage, Central at Colvin in Albany.

268
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Bottom half of the third, the Braves in front, one nothing, and the Mets coming up.

269
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Jack Fretcher, the leadoff batter for the Mets, batting against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>.

270
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Johnson has given up no runs.

271
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,000
He has allowed two hits while striking at one.

272
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
First pitch to Fretcher, a breaking ball outside, ball one.

273
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Jack has three hits this year and 35 times up.

274
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
He's batting 086.

275
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Johnson, a veteran right-hander with a variety of pitches.

276
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000
His next delivery is a fastball hit off the end of the bat, down toward first base.

277
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Philippe Ballou comes up with it, trots to the back for the unassisted out.

278
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
And the first out here in the bottom half of the third.

279
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000
That'll bring up Bud Aronson, who has a base hit in one time up.

280
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Bud now batting 272.

281
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Bud's base hit was a looping line drive into left center.

282
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Right now Rico Cardi in left field has moved to about eight steps in the foul line,

283
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,000
and that is a little hard to believe that he can play there for him,

284
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,000
because he's not giving himself a chance on a ball hitting the left center field.

285
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Now they're moving a little bit further away from the foul line.

286
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:40,000
He's actually protecting foul territory more than fair.

287
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Now a line drive over short in that hole.

288
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
It might go for extra bases.

289
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
The center fielder has to knock it down in left field.

290
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:51,000
He doesn't get it, and Aronson goes into second.

291
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,000
So Bud Aronson taking advantage of the defensive position of Rico Cardi in left field,

292
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
hitting the ball right directly to left field,

293
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,000
and the center fielder had to come over and stop it from going on through.

294
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Two base hits for Bud Aronson, and the Mets now have the time

295
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:16,000
to run a second base with one out, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-stahl/>Larry Stahl</a> coming up.

296
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,000
The double by Haraldson, his eighth this year.

297
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:24,000
He has a forward pace going here in July.

298
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
And Johnson in the set position, and the first pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-stahl/>Larry Stahl</a>

299
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000
is a knuckleball over a called strike.

300
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Larry on a hit-and-run play in the first pitch his first time up,

301
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:40,000
wide out to deep left center field.

302
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,000
In the month of July, Haraldson has been red hot.

303
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000
The pitch back to the plate is outside.

304
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Again, the knuckleball, it's one and one.

305
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
He has had 16 hits in 35 times up.

306
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Larry is batting.457.

307
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
One ball, one strike.

308
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
And the next pitch to Stahl is called strike two.

309
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Larry doesn't make the move out of the strike zone and took it.

310
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Now backing out of the batter's box, one and two.

311
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Now Johnson taking out the signs from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a>.

312
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
In the set position and the pitch, it is popped into left center field,

313
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,000
moving to his left side.

314
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
What time to get through the ball is Rico Cardi.

315
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,000
He makes a one-hand catch unnecessarily,

316
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
and then throws the ball in and Haraldson,

317
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,000
who was halfway down the line, goes back to second.

318
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Now with two men out, the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a>.

319
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Tommy on a hit-and-run play, grounded out the first base his first time up.

320
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
On the play, Bud Haraldson moved down to second,

321
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
but he was left there in the first inning.

322
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Now he's out at second base for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a>.

323
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
With two men out here in the bottom half of the third.

324
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,000
And the first pitch to Tommy, a swing and a miss, strike one.

325
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Tommy has it safe in his last seven ballgames without one here in this one.

326
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,000
That was 11 for 27, stretch 407 batting average.

327
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Got four for four last night, his one thousandth.

328
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Major Lake Bay said his last time up.

329
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000
He is the leading batter against Atlanta with 20 hits and 47 times up,

330
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:43,000
and he has driven in 12 runs against the Braves.

331
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
12 runs batted in in 12 ballgames plays.

332
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Now a high knuckleball. Tommy takes it, ball one.

333
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
One ball and one strike.

334
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Met to have one sixth of the 12 games played.

335
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,000
The most they have ever won against Atlanta in their history.

336
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Six and one season.

337
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,000
He's done that twice before.

338
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Now a knuckleball, full foul on the line into the fan.

339
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:21,000
So he can now up to one and two.

340
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:30,000
One and two as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> wipes off his brows, he looks out towards center field.

341
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Braves leading one nothing.

342
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:37,000
They have one run on four hits, the Mets have no runs in three hits with the runner at second base.

343
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Now Johnson back to the plate and a knuckleball has popped up in the shallow left field.

344
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Going back is Mickey, he might not get to it coming into Cardi.

345
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:52,000
He cannot get it, it dropped into a base hit and Nelson scores the tying run.

346
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> with a blue pit, a little fly ball that dropped in front of Rico Cardi,

347
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
who was playing the deep left field and he couldn't get to it.

348
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
The shortstop Mentsy took after it.

349
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
He couldn't get to it.

350
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:12,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> picked up his 42nd run batted in, his 13th against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> in 13 ball games now.

351
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:24,000
And the batter coming up is Ed Craneball.

352
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Tie ball game 1-1 and a knuckleball to Craneball as low ball one.

353
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:35,000
And he flied out the deep right field his first time up.

354
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Batting the 3-12.

355
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Now Johnson sets up again and the pitch to the plate is a fastball outside, ball two.

356
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Two balls, no strikes.

357
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Right now Rico Cardi in left field is playing a very deep left field against the left hand batter.

358
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Center fielder <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mack-jones/>Mack Jones</a> is fairly shallow in center, shaded over toward right.

359
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Now a knuckleball back is outside, it's ball three.

360
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Three balls, no strikes with Ron Sloboda on deck.

361
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:17,000
And the sign is going out to the bullpen to warm up.

362
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:24,000
A right hand pitcher.

363
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Three balls, no strikes.

364
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Craneball takes the next pitch outside, it's ball four.

365
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,000
And Johnson walks Craneball, that moves <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> down to second base in scoring position.

366
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Put runners at first and second and brings up Ron Sloboda.

367
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Number four.

368
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:59,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jay-ritchie/>Jay Ritchie</a>, a right hander, is now warming up on the bullpen for the Braves.

369
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:08,000
A walk given up by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>, his first in the ball game.

370
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Ron Sloboda was struck out on a knuckleball, he got Todd Mucky his first time up, batting 257.

371
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:32,000
And the first pitch to him is a knuckleball that is too low for a ball.

372
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Johnson sets up again, Davis at second base, and Craneball at first.

373
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,000
The pitch back is a breaking ball that's over the outside part of the plate, strike one call.

374
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:53,000
One and one.

375
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Now Johnson again a look at second.

376
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:00,000
And the pitch, it is fouled back out of play.

377
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Johnson out in front with a counted one ball and two strikes.

378
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Sloboda has batted in 17 runs so far this year in 58 ball games.

379
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:23,000
He's at five home runs.

380
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,000
One and two, and Johnson now back again.

381
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000
A fastball, almost 50 as he turns away.

382
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Pitch way inside, two and two.

383
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:43,000
That's it, batted in there on purpose.

384
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Trying to make his other stuff look better.

385
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Johnson wasting the fastball inside.

386
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Now he sets up.

387
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:57,000
And the two-two delivery is a curveball outside, way outside, and the count now three balls and two strikes.

388
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Down deck batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a>.

389
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:05,000
And with two men away, the base runners at first and second will be going with a pitch.

390
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Fine hitting position for runs for border.

391
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Now Johnson sets.

392
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,000
The runners go, the pitch is a curveball hit out toward left center field.

393
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Not too far, going over is the center fielder, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mack-jones/>Mack Jones</a>.

394
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000
He makes the catch to retire to the side.

395
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,000
In the inning, the Mets tie it up, getting one run on two hits.

396
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,000
No errors, and two men were left on.

397
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,000
And the score at the end is three.

398
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,000
The Braves won, the Mets won.

399
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,000
The new ballgivers, they go to the top of the fourth, it's one to one.

400
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,000
And the first batter up, Rico Cardi.

401
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Rico with the base hit to right field, his first time up.

402
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Batting 274 with 10 home runs and 37 runs batted in.

403
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Stands with that high bat position, the first pitch, the curveball, and it breaks over, Cardi breaks away from the plate.

404
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Right one.

405
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> pitching for the Mets has given up one run, allowed four hits.

406
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
He has struck out one walk none.

407
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
And the right hander back with a sidearm slider, the south side.

408
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,000
One ball, one strike.

409
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:28,000
It'll be Rico Cardi, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a>, and Creed Boyer for Fisher here in the fourth.

410
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:35,000
And the 1-1 delivery is grounded foul out toward <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-kennedy/>Bob Kennedy</a>, the third base coach.

411
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Bob at one time, a third baseman, later on an outfielder with several ball clubs, White Sox, Cleveland,

412
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:51,000
and a former managing coach of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-cubs/1967/overview/>Chicago Cubs</a>.

413
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Leo DeRosha, when he took the job with the Cubs, said, I don't care what they call it upstairs, on the field I'm the manager.

414
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,000
He has done that job on the field.

415
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:11,000
That rotating coach's plan put in by Mr. Wrigley certainly proved to be not good.

416
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Now swinging a ground foul ball.

417
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Ball rolling away in the count one and two.

418
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Cubs have lost six straight ball games, but they're still in second place.

419
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:27,000
They, before losing the game, were tied for first with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1967/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a>.

420
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,000
The Cardinals now lead by three and a half games, picking up that much ground.

421
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Prince of Daddy's in third, five games back.

422
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Last time they've had a Chicago series was back in 1906.

423
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Now ground ball hit out to third.

424
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,000
A nice hop as it comes up to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a>, making the play an easy play.

425
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,000
So the first base retires, three club cardinals.

426
00:41:51,000 --> 00:42:00,000
One away in the top of the fourth.

427
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Richard checks the second base and comes back to the plate, and misses with a slider down in the dirt.

428
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Back hander by Grote.

429
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Good play by Jerry in the count one and one.

430
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Ball checked out by Shag Crawford and thrown out of play.

431
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Action in the bullpen for the Mets.

432
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Dick Zellmer starting the throw.

433
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
One ball, one strike.

434
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Fisher back again.

435
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000
And a slider's popped up on the second base side.

436
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-johnson-2/>Bob Johnson</a> goes out to make the call.

437
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Borda runs him off and makes the catch.

438
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Troy goes back to second base.

439
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Boyer back to first.

440
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:54,000
And with two men out, the batter coming up to second base in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/woody-woodward/>Woody Woodward</a>.

441
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,000
Woody hit into a very easy double play.

442
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,000
He can make any double play easily.

443
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:09,000
On a hit and run play with Mentee on at first base, Woodward hit one right off his hand, a soft little pop fly to third.

444
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,000
Mentee didn't see the ball and went all the way down to second.

445
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:18,000
And after Giles caught it, he could have walked to first base to put the fourth play in there.

446
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,000
But he threw on over to Craneville for the double play.

447
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,000
First pitch to Woodward, a curve that breaks over, strike one.

448
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Big curve ball by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a>.

449
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Woodward batting 230.

450
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000
His first time up with a runner at first base and no one out.

451
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,000
That was in the second.

452
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:41,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-hitchcock/>Billy Hitchcock</a> had him out to bunch with the pitcher coming up next.

453
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,000
They then switched to the hit and run play and the result of double play came after that.

454
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Now foul ball off a fastball.

455
00:43:48,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Ball going back over to Scream, strike two.

456
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,000
0-2 with two men out.

457
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Top of the fourth inning, a 1-1 ball game.

458
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Runners at first and second.

459
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,000
And the next pitch is hit off the hands just like the last one, only in foul territory.

460
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Giles goes over and makes a soft pitch to retire the side.

461
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,000
Fisher getting him twice with a fastball in off the hands.

462
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,000
No runs, two hits.

463
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,000
No errors and two men left.

464
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,000
And the score at the end of three and a half innings, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> won.

465
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> won.

466
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Another bright idea from the folks who care.

467
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Try cold burgers with cheese.

468
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Start with a burger roll and select any of your favorite first prize sliced cold cuts.

469
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Pile them on thick.

470
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,000
And for a final flourish, add a slice of cheese.

471
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,000
Just great for a fast lunch for the whole family.

472
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Kids love cold burgers with cheese.

473
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:03,000
And when they're made with first prize cold cuts, you know they're chock full of healthy, meaty proteins.

474
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,000
Tobin's first prize means they're the finest ever made.

475
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,000
And there's a first prize variety to please every taste.

476
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:15,000
The very best meat makes the very best meal.

477
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:22,000
So look for the meat with the first prize seal.

478
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:28,000
First prize products from the folks who care.

479
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Tobin's first prize, delicious.

480
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:08,000
Bottom half of the fourth, the Mets coming up.

481
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Ball game tied at 1-1.

482
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:15,000
And the first batter for the Mets will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a>.

483
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:20,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ben-johnson/>Ben Johnson</a>, the pitcher for the Braves, has given up one run and allowed four base hits.

484
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:25,000
The Mets tying up the ball game in the bottom half of the third.

485
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:30,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a>, the right hand batter, in the first pitch, a curveball over the outside corner, strike one.

486
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Ed grounded out the third his first time up.

487
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,000
He's batting 273.

488
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Pirates have scored a run in the bottom half of the fifth.

489
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,000
They leave Cincinnati one nothing.

490
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,000
One strike pitch, a fastball, a swing for strike two.

491
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:54,000
At the end of four and a half innings, the Cardinals one fiddled out the one.

492
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Two games in progress in the National League, along with this one.

493
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:08,000
And a sidearm curve now to Charles, but it's too far outside.

494
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,000
One and two.

495
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:16,000
At the end of three, Detroit five, Boston three.

496
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:22,000
First of two.

497
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Down one, two, a knuckleball hits deep to left field.

498
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,000
We go 30 back.

499
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,000
He can't get to it.

500
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:47,000
It's going and this is a bye.

501
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:52,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a> with his third home run of the year and the Mets have broken the tie.

502
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,000
They lead two to one.

503
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Ed got his first against the Cubs in Chicago against Ray Colt.

504
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,000
He got his second against San Francisco against Juan Marical.

505
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,000
And now his third in the National League against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>.

506
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,000
That'll bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-johnson-2/>Bob Johnson</a>, who singled his first time up.

507
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:19,000
He tries to bonnet, but he goes foul strike one.

508
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Johnson down the line after the bunch coming back to get back in the batter's box.

509
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:31,000
At the end of five and a half innings, Washington three, Cleveland two.

510
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,000
At the end of two, Minnesota nothing, Chicago nothing.

511
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,000
The game is in progress in the American League.

512
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:43,000
One strike hit that deep but foul down the left field line.

513
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Now it goes up the strike two.

514
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:49,000
That ball was far enough, but it was foul.

515
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000
Johnson has two home runs for the Mets.

516
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,000
He has driven in ten runs.

517
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:57,000
He's batting 333.

518
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:09,000
23 base hits and 69 times up.

519
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,000
And the next pitch is swung on a Mr. Kerr ball, strike three.

520
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> gets his second strike out.

521
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,000
That home run given up by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>, the 12th.

522
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000
He has given up this year.

523
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Now the batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-grote/>Jerry Grote</a>.

524
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Jerry pops his third his first time up.

525
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
He's batting 206.

526
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Mets leading two to one on the home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a> here in the bottom half of the fourth.

527
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,000
And the first pitch over the outside corner, a called strike.

528
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Action in the bullpen for the Braves.

529
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:56,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ramon-hernandez/>Ramon Hernandez</a>, the left-hander, along with Jay Richie, a right-hander, warming up for the Braves.

530
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,000
One strike pitch, a knuckleball swung on and foul.

531
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,000
Ball's getting away from Joe Torey, going back away.

532
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:23,000
Strike two count.

533
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:32,000
And at two strikes, Johnson goes sidearm with a fastball that swung on and fouled off.

534
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-grote/>Jerry Grote</a> being pitched in tight.

535
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:39,000
And fouling the ball off to the right side.

536
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Count remains at strike two.

537
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:54,000
And now Ken into the windup and sidearm again, this time a curveball, a full foul.

538
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Grote way out in front, pulling the ball foul over toward the stands, the ball hitting

539
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:10,000
the stands and going out on the field.

540
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:23,000
Mets leading two to one, two runs, five hits. The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> one run and six.

541
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:27,000
And now Johnson ready to go. And the pitch to Grote is a sidearm.

542
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Curveball that's swung on and missed, strike three.

543
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Two strikeouts in a row and with a mess in front, two to one, Jack Pritchard comes up

544
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,000
and we'll pause now for station identification.

545
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> baseball network.

546
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:44,000
Hi, neighbor. At 5.45 a.m., the Rooster crows from the Chattic Clear appears to help you

547
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:52,000
wake up. At 12.15, Hank Kuhn joins me on farm paper here on WGY Schenectady.

548
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Ralph Keiner along with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> from Jay City.

549
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,000
The pitch to Fischer is hit out to shallow right field.

550
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:03,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-aaron/>Hank Aaron</a> stated over near the line, has no trouble to get near it, and he makes the

551
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,000
catch to retire to the side.

552
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,000
But in the inning, the Mets break the ties, scoring one run on the home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a>,

553
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,000
the only hit in the inning.

554
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,000
No errors and no one left on base.

555
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:17,000
And the score at the end of the four, the Mets two, the Braves one.

556
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Armory Garage is one of those companies that never stops trying to improve their business.

557
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:28,000
They're proving that fact every day at the corner of Central and Colvin in Albany.

558
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Instead of sitting back smugly, knowing Armory Garage is the biggest volume dealer of used

559
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:39,000
cars in the area, sales manager Art Neat tries to improve sales and service daily.

560
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,000
For example, at Armory, you'll find easier credit.

561
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:47,000
If you have the ability to pay, they'll say, okay, and set up a time payment plan,

562
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,000
custom tailored to your budget.

563
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:55,000
Because of the tremendous volume of new cars sold weekly at Armory Garage, the selection

564
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,000
of used cars is unrivaled.

565
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:02,000
You'll find wagons, convertibles, two- and four-door sedans, from economy models to prestige

566
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,000
automobiles, priced to move.

567
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:10,000
And to keep that car on the move in top condition, Armory mechanics are trained to service all

568
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,000
makes and models sold on the Armory lot.

569
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,000
For the very best car buy, try Armory Garage first.

570
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:21,000
They're located at Central at Colvin in Albany, open daily, including all day Saturday.

571
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> leading off against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> in the fifth inning, and he hits the first

572
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,000
pitch back up the middle for a base hit.

573
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> lashing out at Fisher's first delivery, and he's on with a clean single

574
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,000
to center field.

575
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,000
Murray has now had seven hits.

576
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,000
And the leadoff batter, Philippe Allou, is coming up.

577
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Allou has popped his short and fouled out the third.

578
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Now Fisher checks the runner at first, delivers, and it's under the knees, one ball and no

579
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,000
strikes.

580
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Center fielder, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mack-jones/>Mack Jones</a>, the on-deck batter.

581
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Then Henry Aaron.

582
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,000
And a curve ball for a strike, one and one.

583
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,000
And the leadoff batter, Henry Aaron, is coming up.

584
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Henry Aaron, and a curve ball for a strike, one and one.

585
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Nuts would love to win this one today and close out the homestand with a record of eight

586
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,000
wins and six losses.

587
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:49,000
All five teams appearing on the homestand, top contenders in the Nassau League.

588
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,000
Foul ball, hit down the third base line, no play.

589
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:57,000
One ball, two strikes.

590
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,000
Nuts open the homestand.

591
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,000
With a two-game series against Pittsburgh.

592
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,000
Then two with Philadelphia.

593
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,000
And four with St. Louis.

594
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Three with the Giants and three with the Braves.

595
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:22,000
Foul ball, squibbling back over towards the visiting dugout, no play.

596
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,000
New York, two runs, five hits, no errors.

597
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Atlanta, one, seven and oh.

598
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,000
The ballgame in the top half of the fifth inning.

599
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> on first, nobody out.

600
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,000
The pitch to Alou.

601
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,000
A drive, well hit.

602
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,000
The deep left field.

603
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> chasing back.

604
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,000
It may go.

605
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,000
It is gone, a two-run homer.

606
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:56,000
The Braves take the lead on the ninth home run of the year by Fully Foulou.

607
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:05,000
A line drive, he pulled a left field that cleared the bullpen area and landed just under the auxiliary scoreboard.

608
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,000
Very quickly.

609
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,000
They take the lead on a two-run homer by Alou.

610
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,000
They're now in front three to two.

611
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dick-selma/>Dick Selma</a> on call in the bullpen.

612
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,000
A grounder hit fouled on the first baseline by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mac-jones/>Mac Jones</a>.

613
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Ninth home run of the year for our leadoff batter, Fully Foulou.

614
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mac-jones/>Mac Jones</a> has flied to center and been struck out, nothing for two.

615
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:48,000
He takes a fastball high, one ball, one strike.

616
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Braves lead in the first inning, one nothing.

617
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,000
The Mets tie the game in the third.

618
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,000
And a fastball high, two and one.

619
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Then New York went in front in the fourth inning on the home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a>.

620
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:14,000
But a single by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> and a home run by Fully Foulou has put the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> back into the lead.

621
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,000
Pitching two and one.

622
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:22,000
He goes after a breaking ball and misses strike two, two and two.

623
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:26,000
Now Fisher's two-two delivery.

624
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Grounded foul, right straight back.

625
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,000
Gounder remains the same, two and two.

626
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Henry Aradon, ducking Enrico Cardy.

627
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Ground ball hit down the first baseline.

628
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:44,000
It's fair, grabbed by Crane, really races to the back and makes the play on assistant.

629
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,000
One out, nobody on.

630
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,000
The number three hitter, Henry Aradon coming out.

631
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,000
Aaron's single and the first.

632
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,000
He's got a good shot.

633
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,000
He's got a good shot.

634
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,000
He's got a good shot.

635
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,000
He's got a good shot.

636
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
He's got a good shot.

637
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,000
He's got a good shot.

638
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Henry Aradon coming out, Aaron's single left in the first.

639
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,000
Was thrown out by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> in the third inning.

640
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:14,000
So Aradon has one for two batting a 329.

641
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Now the pitcher on the way.

642
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Long drive, deep to left field, back to O'Shaven.

643
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,000
He jumps and he makes the catch.

644
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Warm hand for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a>.

645
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Beautiful jumping touch right against the fence in deep left field.

646
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,000
Rico Cardy the batter and the pitcher's high ball one.

647
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:07,000
Tommy timed his leap absolutely perfectly.

648
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Very height of his leap.

649
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,000
He made a one hand grab high over his head.

650
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:18,000
And a seven for a strike, one ball and one strike.

651
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Hard to say for sure whether or not the ball would have gone over for a home run had it not been caught or not.

652
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,000
But it was very, very close.

653
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Hard hit drive by Henry Aradon.

654
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,000
The one one pitch down to Cardy.

655
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:36,000
A grounder hits foul and the Braves have been hitting Fisher hard in the third.

656
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Two outs and nobody on.

657
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,000
The Braves lead three two.

658
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,000
We're in the top half of the fifth inning.

659
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Nineteen year old Jerry Nolan and Dennis Ryaband are hooked up in an interesting pitching duel at Pittsburgh.

660
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:58,000
The Barrett's lead Cincinnati one to nothing at the end of sixth inning.

661
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,000
St. Louis one, Philadelphia one at the end of five.

662
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-jaster/>Larry Jaster</a> against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bunning/>Jim Bunning</a> a home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-cowan/>Billy Cowan</a>.

663
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:12,000
One two pitch down to Cardy a swing and a lefty struck him out.

664
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Bad retire two runs two hits.

665
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,000
No errors none left on.

666
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000
So we've come halfway at the end of four and a half.

667
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> three the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> two.

681
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:39,000
You'll be glad you did.

682
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Last of the fifth inning New York Trellin by a run.

683
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:50,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> with two for two will be looking for his third hit of the game as he leads off against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>.

684
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:56,000
And Bud with his two for two has now raised his batting average to two seventy five.

685
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:12,000
And for the month of July <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> is now batting four hundred and fifty five.

686
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Bud has been up twice single to left center and double to left center.

687
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:21,000
The last time he came up Cardi was playing him over about eight strides from the left field line.

688
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,000
This time <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-hitchcock/>Billy Hitchcock</a> has moved him back more toward a normal low field position.

689
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,000
A drag run.

690
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:34,000
Racing after the saloon a base hit.

691
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:38,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> is three for three with a beautiful drag run.

692
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Everybody went for it.

693
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:48,000
They had no chance at all to get Harrelson.

694
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,000
That brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-stahl/>Larry Stahl</a>.

695
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,000
That is base hit number six for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

696
01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:00,000
Mets have the speedy Harrelson on first piece the tying run.

697
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Guys are much darker overcast down.

698
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,000
For a while the sun had broken through.

699
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:14,000
The overcast has returned and it's pretty dark.

700
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,000
Johnson off the stretch.

701
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,000
The pitch was tall and he pops the ball up near third base.

702
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:27,000
Fleet Boyer in fair territory near third makes the catch.

703
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:38,000
One out and one on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> coming up.

704
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:46,000
Tommy's Texas Liger to short left field drove home <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>.

705
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:54,000
In the third inning and for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> it was his 42nd run batted in.

706
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,000
Balee Balee holding against Harrelson at first.

707
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,000
The outfield swung around to left.

708
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,000
And a high pop foul that might be playable.

709
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Corey coming back near the backstop has a play and grabs it for the out.

710
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Two outs and one on.

711
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,000
Eddie Crane to open again.

712
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:20,000
Eddie has lined the ball hard to Aaron in right field.

713
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:36,000
He's going to walk as they pitch around him his last round at bat.

714
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,000
Braves three runs eight hits.

715
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,000
The Mets two runs six hits.

716
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:40,000
We're in the last of the fifth inning.

717
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:52,000
The short of first it's down in time.

718
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:56,000
Veteran <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> has won eight and lost four.

719
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:01,000
A knuckleball a little bit high one ball and no strike.

720
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:04,000
Johnson has been an excellent pitching group.

721
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,000
He hasn't lost a ball game since the fourth of June.

722
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:13,000
And he has won his last four decisions.

723
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,000
The outfield deep and around to right the runner goes.

724
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,000
Here's the peg by Corey the flag.

725
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Hey he's still second.

726
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:32,000
But Harrelson with his fifth stolen base of the year sets himself in the scoring position.

727
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,000
Now the tying run is on second.

728
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,000
Two balls and no strikes.

729
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:49,000
Eddie Crane boo.

730
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,000
And a drive hit toward the gap and left center field.

731
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Cardi Racing for Kansas has to play it on a hop.

732
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:02,000
In the score is what Harrelson again has had.

733
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:08,000
And the line drive single to left center field is twenty five.

734
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:14,000
We've really got an interesting ball game going.

735
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:18,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-hitchcock/>Billy Hitchcock</a> is coming out of the dugout.

736
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:25,000
J. Richie and Ramona Hernandez are both warmed up and ready in the Atlanta bullpen.

737
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:33,000
If it's cocky like to make a pitching change at this time.

738
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:38,000
And that's trail one that I think at the end of the first they tied the game in the third inning.

739
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:45,000
When <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> brought home <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> the next took the lead in the fourth inning on a home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a>.

740
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:51,000
But in the top of the fifth inning a two run homer by a fully balloon put Atlanta back in the lead three to two.

741
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:59,000
Now the Mets on a bun single by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> a stolen base and a family by Eddie Crane who have tied the game.

742
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:14,000

824
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:41,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-cardwell/>Don Cardwell</a> will be pitching for the first time since going on the disabled list.

825

827
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,000
He had an elbow ailment.

828
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:03,000
The elbow was drained and he was placed on the disabled list.

829
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:13,000
And then after he started to try and get himself going again when the elbow started to clear up he developed tendonitis in his shoulder.

830
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-grote/>Jerry Grote</a> has popped the third and struck out.

836
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:35,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> will be with you in just a moment to detail the play.

837
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Right now here's a word from Rangel.

838
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:41,000
There's a guy in New York who has a ball.

839
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:44,000
It's made of iron and it weighs two tons.

840
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:52,000
He bounces it against buildings and the wall from tumbling down.

841
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,000
I'm what they call a ball man.

842
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:59,000
There are just actually fifty of us around and five really good ones.

843
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,000
I mean excellent. Well you see those three walls there.

844
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:07,000
I can knock all three of them off in one swing and still put the ball down on a postage stand.

845
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:10,000
You know that was about three weeks ago.

846
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,000
I got a call the guy needed me on a Monday and I had a job.

847
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:18,000
So it's kind of flattering the guy held up the construction for a week until I was available.

848
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:24,000
If you're going to throw your weight around in New York you really got to know what you're doing.

849
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,000
Same thing's true of beer.

850
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:30,000
There are 302 beers trying to make it in New York today from all over.

851
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,000
But only one beer has made it to the top.

852
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,000
The Rich Dry Lager.

853
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:37,000
Rangel. Rangel.

854
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:41,000
In this town either you have it or you don't.

855
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:45,000
Second baseman. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/woody-woodward/>Woody Woodward</a>.

856
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:49,000
Now the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> come up in the seventh inning and it's the number eight man in the batting order.

857
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/woody-woodward/>Woody Woodward</a> he is a right hand batter facing right hand pitcher.

858
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a>.

859
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-shaw/>Bob Shaw</a> is throwing down in the med bow pen.

860
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:01,000
Left handed Nick Kelly is throwing in the Atlanta bow pen.

861
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:05,000
Now here's a curve ball. In for a call. Strike one.

862
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,000
Through six innings.

863
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:10,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> three runs. Eight hits. No errors.

864
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:14,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> three runs. Seven hits. No errors.

865
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,000
Strike one pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/woody-woodward/>Woody Woodward</a>.

866
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,000
Blowing away it's 1-1.

867
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:20,000
Today's baseball quiz.

868
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:26,000
Since 1900 three pitchers have been 20 game winners playing in both leagues the same season.

869
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:31,000
Can you identify two of the three?

870
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,000
1-1 pitch. Swung on and hit high into the air.

871
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,000
Back of the third. Drifting towards the stands.

872
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:41,000
And might be playable. Harrelson is right there and Charles makes the catch.

873
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:49,000
Just in front of the cylinder on which the tarp is rolled up against the barrier in front of the field boxes.

874
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:55,000
And now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tito-francona/>Tito Francona</a> is coming out to bat for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a>.

875
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Francona is a left hand batter picked up earlier this year by the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a>.

876
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:08,000
From the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-phillies/1967/overview/>Philadelphia Phillies</a> he is hitting 267 with three homers and eight runs batted in.

877
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:12,000
Francona batting for Johnson.

878
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:17,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-johnson/>Ken Johnson</a> is out of the ball game after having pitched six innings.

879
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:22,000
In which he gave up three runs on seven hits, struck out three and walked one.

880
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:32,000
The man throwing in the bullpen is Dick Kelly.

881
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:43,000
Francona settling stuff into the batter's box. One man out, nobody on base.

882
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:47,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> with his no wind up delivery starts to work and Francona backs out.

883
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:55,000
So Fisher breaks off the delivery.

884
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Now a pitch that is low for a ball. Double barrel action now in the mid bullpen.

885
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:06,000
Right hander Hal Runner. Left hander <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-shaw/>Don Shaw</a>.

886
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:11,000
1-0 pitch to Francona. Hit deep to center field. It's way back there.

887
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:15,000
The ball goes to the warning track and hardens it down.

888
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:21,000
Ball is hit over 400 feet to straight away center field.

889
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Two men out, nobody on base and Philippe Elou is coming up.

890
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:32,000
He had a two run homer in the fifth inning that put the Braves temporarily ahead bringing them from behind.

891
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:36,000
Since then the Mets have scored the run that tied it at 3-3.

892
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:39,000
Elou is one for three for the afternoon.

893
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:45,000
Hitting 282 for the season. Here's a pitch foul back and out of play.

894
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Down to strike one.

895
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:58,000
The answer to the baseball quiz, the three two league 20 game winners in the same season where Joe McEnady is a swing and a base hit in the center field.

896
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:03,000
For Philippe Elou, Larry Stollup returns it to the infield.

897
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Joe McEnady, 21-18-192. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/pat-flaherty/>Pat Flaherty</a>, 21-11-194.

898
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:20,000
And Hanks Baroy, 21-7-1945 when he split the year between the Yankees and the National League Tennis winning <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-cubs/1967/overview/>Chicago Cubs</a>.

899
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:24,000
Now the Braves have a runner at first on Philippe Elou's single to center.

900
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:33,000
There are two men out and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-jones-jonemi21/>Mike Jones</a> is coming up. He's nothing but three left hand batter.

901
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:39,000
Rainpool comes over to hold against the runner.

902
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:46,000
Fisher steps and steps off the rubber.

903
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:52,000
Making pitches outside for a ball.

904
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Fisher has struck out two and walked none this afternoon.

905
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:07,000
The hit by Philippe Elou was the ninth off Fisher.

906
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,000
Elou takes his lead.

907
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:13,000
1-0 pitch curve ball high and it's 2-0.

908
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:34,000
Mike Aaron is waiting on deck.

909
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,000
Now Fisher sets up and throws to free.

910
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:43,000
Out in time Elou is back safely.

911
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:48,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-jones-jonemi21/>Mike Jones</a> up there with a close stance at the plate.

912
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:52,000
Fisher again throws to first and Elou is back safely.

913
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:56,000
Trying to keep a short haul to figuring that Elou might very well be going on a 2-0 pitch.

914
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,000
They might very well play hit and run.

915
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:05,000
With a score tied 3-3.

916
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:15,000
Elou has a 2-0 pitch thrown on and fouled off. He wasn't going. It's 2-1.

917
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:21,000
That's after the defense shaded around toward right on left hand batter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-jones-jonemi21/>Mike Jones</a> who has good power to all fields.

918
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:29,000
He led off the 11-10 with a home run over the fence into the Braves bullpen and left field right before last.

919
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:36,000
Bringing the foul ball back to the play and the count is even now 2-2 to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-jones-jonemi21/>Mike Jones</a>.

920
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:42,000
He's out with Ralph Cantor and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a>. Chase stayed him in New York and Dick Kelly is coming to do the pitching now for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a>.

921
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:48,000
He worked for two thirds of an inning last night and was touched for one run on two hits.

922
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:55,000
He has a record of one win and seven losses.

923
01:24:55,000 --> 01:25:00,000
He's going to be left hander and he'll be working to right hand batter Jack Fischer up to lead off for the Mets.

924
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:09,000
This is a managerial decision to make right here allowing Fischer to bat in the bottom half of the seventh inning.

925
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Leading off with a score tied 3-3.

926
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:18,000
Fischer is nothing but 2. 3 for 37 this season.

927
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:25,000
He's swinging a ground ball to second. Taken there by Woodward and Plato to Alou and there's one away.

928
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:32,000
Now about Harrelson coming up. He is 3 for 3 in this ball game. A single, a double and then spun his way on.

929
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:39,000
Listen to the hand for Harrelson. His batting average for the season is 2-78.

930
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:46,000
He turns around out of that right handed against the left handed Dick Kelly. He's a swish hitter so he's been batting left.

931
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:53,000
His left handed batting average for the season is 3-0-3.

932
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:58,000
Take it in for a call strike. His natural side is batting right handed.

933
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:07,000
Kelly's turned him off with a fastball.

934
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:11,000
Swinging a ground ball and it's going deep to Jordan on through for a base hit.

935
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:19,000
Harrelson has four hits as he holds it first. That one was just by Boyer and just by Mingy through the hole in the left.

936
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:30,000
But Harrelson has gone 4 for 4 and so he's joining <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-grote/>Jerry Grote</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> as Mets who have had four hits in a game.

937
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Last night Davis did it for the second time this season.

938
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:44,000
And he represents Goyard right on it first with one man out. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-stahl/>Larry Stahl</a> scheduled up but he's a left handed batter.

939
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:55,000
Harrelson's batting average for the season goes up now to 2-81.

940
01:26:55,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Tommy Reynolds batting for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-stahl/>Larry Stahl</a>. In the month of July, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> has batted 4-86.

941
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:13,000
And it's your west west from here playing righty lefty as he takes down his left hand batter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-stahl/>Larry Stahl</a> and sends up his right hand batter Tommy Reynolds.

942
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:26,000
A right hander is up and throwing the ball in now for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a>.

943
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:40,000
Reynolds hitting 187, two homers and four runs batted in.

944
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:47,000
The score is tied here, the Mets 3 and the Braves 3 with the Mets batting in the bottom half of the seventh inning.

945
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:57,000
Zalepa Lou comes over to hold against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>.

946
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:02,000
Kelly ends from the waist taking the sign.

947
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:06,000
Now the pitch to Reynolds, one hot and fouled out to the right side out of play.

948
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:23,000
The Mets came from behind to tie the score in the bottom of the fifth when <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> effected a drag bunt for a base hit, stole second and scored on Ed Cranebo's looping single to left.

949
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:28,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> is taking his cuts in the on deck circle.

950
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:33,000
Harrelson leads it first as Kelly looks for the sign.

951
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:44,000
Off the stretch now, pitch to Reynolds, one hot and it is knocked down at second by Woodward to throw the first and it's just time to get Reynolds.

952
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:46,000
Harrelson moving on to second.

953
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:50,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/woody-woodward/>Woody Woodward</a> barely got to that ball, slammed between first and second.

954
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:58,000
He got his left hander to knock it down, he was on the rim of the outfield grass when he scampered after it, picked it up and threw on Zalepa Lou at first to get Reynolds.

955
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:16,000
Harrelson moves into scoring position at second base, two men out and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> is coming up.

956
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:19,000
Now Davis is going to be intentionally walked.

957
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:23,000
The first base open, the pitch is outside for a ball.

958
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:28,000
It's going to get to the next train, so it's a left hand batter.

959
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:32,000
So it is an intentional walk being issued here to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a>.

960
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:38,000
As the Mets are making a bid with two men out at the bottom of the seventh.

961
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,000
Raymond Hernandez is up and throwing into bullpen now for the Braves.

962
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:50,000
He's a left hander along with right hander <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/claude-raymond/>Claude Raymond</a>.

963
01:29:50,000 --> 01:30:06,000
Now ball four and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> goes down to first, Harrelson holds it second and Craneful is coming up.

964
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:10,000
So Craneful will try to hang in there against the left hander now to see what he can do about getting Harrelson in.

965
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:14,000
He's singled, the left fielder's riding in at the bottom of the fifth.

966
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:21,000
He's got a ball today, Craneful is one for two on a walk, hitting 315 for this season.

967
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:25,000
Leonard's lead at first and second, left hander Dick Kelly with the pitch.

968
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:30,000
And it is hit in the air to the left, Rico Tidy comes up and makes the catch with one hand.

969
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:35,000
So the side is out, no runs, no hits, no walk, no errors, and two left at the end of seventh.

970
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:39,000
The score is, Mets three and the Braves three.

971
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,000
Now let's check out scores of other games.

972
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:47,000
The Braves feel in Pittsburgh at the end of eight innings of play, the Pirates lead the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1967/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a> one to nothing.

973
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:51,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-nolan/>Gary Nolan</a> started for Cincinnati, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-maloney/>Jim Maloney</a> has been used in relief coming in in the eighth inning,

974
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:57,000
and Dennis Ryban has been in all the way for the Pirates and has a shutout for this point.

975
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:02,000
At County Rock Stadium in Philadelphia at the end of seven innings, the league leading Cardinals one and the Phillies one.

976
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:07,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-jaster/>Larry Jaster</a> for the cards, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bunning/>Jim Bunning</a> for Philadelphia, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/grant-jackson/>Grant Jackson</a> relieves in the eighth inning.

977
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:12,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-cowan/>Billy Cowan</a>, a former Met, homered in the first inning with nobody on for the Phillies.

978
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:18,000
At the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/astrodome/>Astrodome</a> in Houston, Texas at the end of two and a half innings, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-cubs/1967/overview/>Chicago Cubs</a> nothing, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/houston-astros/1967/overview/>Houston Astros</a> nothing.

979
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:22,000
The Cubs have lost six in a row. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rich-nye/>Rich Nye</a> against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-wilson/>Don Wilson</a>.

980
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,000
The Dodgers are at San Francisco in a later start.

981
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:29,000
The American League, the Yanks and Baltimore have to complete again.

982
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:33,000
They were suspended last night at the end of six innings. There was no score. Billy Mambo getting against Wally Bucker.

983
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:37,000
In the Yanks and Orioles play a regularly scheduled game that will start at 5.30.

984
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:42,000
First game of a doubleheader in Detroit at the end of six. The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/detroit-tigers/1967/overview/>Detroit Tigers</a> nine, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/boston-red-sox/1967/overview/>Boston Red Sox</a> three.

985
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:48,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-bell/>Gary Bell</a> for Boston, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jose-santiago/>Jose Santiago</a> in the third, Wasliski in the fourth, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/earl-wilson/>Earl Wilson</a> for Detroit.

986
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Dick McCalliff in his sixteenth homer of the season in the first with nobody on for Detroit.

987
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,000
And Wilson, homered in the fourth with nobody on.

988
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:59,000
First game of a doubleheader in Cleveland at the end of seven and a half innings.

989
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-guardians/1967/overview/>Cleveland Indians</a> five and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/minnesota-twins/1967/overview/>Washington Senators</a> three.

990
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,000
Hoyt Sagan.

991
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:35,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-howard/>Frank Howard</a> in his twenty-third homer of the season in the fifth with one on.

992
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:37,000
He leads the major league to no more.

993
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:41,000
Duke Kim coming in the fifth and Max Alves in the sixth his tenth.

994
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:45,000
First game of a doubleheader in Chicago at the end of four. Minnesota one, Chicago one.

995
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,000
Jim got against Joel Horland.

996
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:49,000
Kansas City get California in a later start.

997
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:53,000
Hank Evans up now for the Braves and the pitch is low for a ball.

998
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,000
The lights have been turned on here at J Stadium.

999
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Tommy Reynolds stays in the ball game in center field for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

1000
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:05,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> has been in all the way.

1001
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:09,000
Sidearms and off-speed pitch outside.

1002
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:10,000
Here is the pay of attendance.

1003
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:14,000
Seventeen thousand seven hundred thirty this Sunday afternoon.

1004
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:16,000
And the game that completes the homestand.

1005
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:21,000
Total in the house eighteen thousand four hundred two.

1006
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:27,000
Now Aaron hits one dear to the left. It's going, going and it's a home run.

1007
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Henry Aaron with his twenty-second homer takes over the undisputed position of the National League lead in that department.

1008
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:38,000
And only one behind <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-howard/>Frank Howard</a> who leads the majors with twenty-three.

1009
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:43,000
Twenty-second home run for Aaron puts the Braves out front four to three.

1010
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:46,000
And it brings out manager Wes Westrom.

1011
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Two in the line.

1012
01:33:51,000 --> 01:34:01,000
Rico Cardi is coming up. He has right hander Hal Renup down there.

1013
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:06,000
And he's got <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-shaw/>Don Shaw</a> down there. And the sign goes for the right hander.

1014
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:11,000
So Renup goes over to get the right end in the card.

1015
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:18,000
Fisher will be leaving here after having pitched seven innings and pitched to one man in the eighth.

1016
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:29,000
He has given up four runs on ten hit. Struck out three and walked nine.

1017
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:34,000
Now Renup is making his fifth appearance since coming over from the Yankees.

1018
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:40,000
First two times out, July first and second, he registered wins in relief over the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1967/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a>.

1019
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:44,000
And then registered a save for Fisher against the Giants.

1020
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:51,000
He worked against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> night before last for one in the third in which he was charged with no runs and gave up only one hit.

1021
01:34:51,000 --> 01:35:00,000
It was a ball bounced over the head of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> at third by Joe Tory to drive in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-aaron/>Hank Aaron</a> with what was the tying run in the night.

1022
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:22,000
Then the Braves went on to win it in the 11th. Renup did not figure in the loss.

1023
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:28,000
Fisher now heads for the dugout.

1024
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:36,000
The Braves have taken a four to three lead here in the top half of the eighth inning.

1025
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:43,000
We'd like to remind you that we'll be observing Senior Citizens Day here on Wednesday, July 19th.

1026
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:51,000
All fans 60 years of age or older will be admitted for the service charge of 50 cents.

1027
01:35:51,000 --> 01:36:08,000
That's Senior Citizens Day on Wednesday, July 19th.

1028
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:14,000
This is the final game of this homestand. It is the final game before the All-Star break, of course.

1029
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:18,000
The All-Star game will be played in Anaheim, California on Tuesday.

1030
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:24,000
The Met representative will be Tom Steaver. Representing the Braves will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-aaron/>Hank Aaron</a> and Joe Tory.

1031
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:31,000
Denzel LaMasta wants to have been on the squad, but he came up with a full muscle in the rib cage and he has been replaced by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chris-short/>Chris Short</a>.

1032
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:39,000
Out the field, LaMasta nonetheless will leave here and go directly to Anaheim since he lives in California.

1033
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:43,000
Rico Cardi's up, nobody on, nobody out. Braves batting in the top of the eighth.

1034
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:51,000
Howell run it for the first pitch to the right-hand batter and it's low for a ball.

1035
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:57,000
Joe Tory is waiting around on deck now.

1036
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:12,000
Playing a foul ball, backing out of play, it's 1-1. Off the screen, behind the plate.

1037
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:31,000
Then it's 1-1 offering, lead up high. 2-1 to Rico Cardi.

1038
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:46,000
Now the 2-1 delivery. Right in there for a called strike two. It's 2-2.

1039
01:37:46,000 --> 01:38:04,000
And the pitch. Brakes high and away. Out full at 3-2.

1040
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:17,000
And up takes the sign from Grote. This is a payoff pitch to Cardi. Hit on the ground towards Short. Charge by Harrelson gets the big hop, guns across the crane.

1041
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:24,000
Joe Tory is coming up. Hey, the Rhine Gold Chug-a-Mug holds 12 ounces of Rhine Gold Extra Dry.

1042
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:31,000
And it has a pull tab so that you don't need an opener. It's about the handiest way there is of quenching your thirst.

1043
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:42,000
Rhine Chug-a-Mug on special display to local stores in New York and New Jersey.

1044
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Pitch is in for a called strike. Tory has been on base three consecutive times today. Single to drive and run in the first inning.

1045
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:54,000
Single to right in the fourth inning. Was hit by a pitch ball in the sixth inning.

1046
01:38:54,000 --> 01:39:07,000
So he will be the starting catcher for the National League All-Star Team. Moat into that position by the players of the National League.

1047
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:29,000
Hit your ten for a called strike. This is a count to Tory.

1048
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:39,000
And the pitch. Fast ball low. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-crawford/>Jack Crawford</a>, the play down fire picker, that was going to be in the dirt and he wasn't too confident that Grote was going to handle it.

1049
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:51,000
And he was backpedaling out of the way. One and two.

1050
01:39:51,000 --> 01:40:14,000
Pitch low and away and it's even now at two-two. On the All-Star Balloting the players vote. But they are not allowed to vote for players of their team.

1051
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:23,000
This will be a two-two delivery. Let up and it is lined to short off the glove of Harrelson. He slips down and trying to grab it and Tory is on it first.

1052
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:34,000
It's a base hit. It was a line shot. Harrelson made a backhand step, had the ball in the glove, but just off the glove and right onto the turf and it's a base hit.

1053
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:41,000
We're getting a base runner now coming in to run for Joe Tory. Bob Euker is running for Tory.

1054
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:51,000
Tory is still in trouble with the framed ankle that had him on crutches for ten days. So he is now out of action until the All-Star Game on Tuesday.

1055
01:40:51,000 --> 01:41:05,000
Running for Tory at first base, number twelve. Bob Euker, number twelve. The Atlanta batter, third base batter, please. Boyer.

1056
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:19,000
Third boyer is one for three. Right hand batter up here now with the runners first and one man out. The Braves lead by a score of four to three.

1057
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:41,000
Linnef Jack's the runner. Here's the pitch. Low. Linnef and Boyer, of course, were teammates when both were with the Yankees.

1058
01:41:41,000 --> 01:42:06,000
Off the stretch, the 1-0 pitch. Breaking ball high, it's 2-0. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-lamabe/>Jack Lamabe</a> is up and throwing in the bullpen now for the Mets along with left-hander <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-shaw/>Don Shaw</a>.

1059
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:13,000
Now the 2-0 pitch. Get on the ground to Tory. Taken by Harrelson over to Johnson. That's one. That's one to throw to first. That's two. A double play.

1060
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:27,000
Harrelson to Johnson to Craneville and the side is out. The Braves got a run on two hits. Nowhere is a non-left. The score in the middle of the eighth inning is the Braves four and the Mets three.

1061
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:39,000
Mets fans, imagine if you can the glorious Mets in person at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/shea-stadium/>Shea Stadium</a>. Try to visualize the excitement of big league baseball. The triumphant Mets face-to-face with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1967/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a>.

1062
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:51,000

1065
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:50,000
The warm-ups have begun for the completion of that suspended game in Baltimore between the Orioles and the Yankees. It worked. No score at the end of 6. Chris Peterson is warming up for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-yankees/1967/overview/>New York Yankees</a> and Sue Miller warming up for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/baltimore-orioles/1967/overview/>Baltimore Orioles</a>.

1066
01:43:50,000 --> 01:44:05,000
Right here with the Braves leading by a run, Ron Swabota comes up to lead off for the Mets. Bob Euker stays in the ball game as the catcher for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a>. You'll bat in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a>'s spot in the batting water. He ran for Torre.

1067
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:32,000
Left-hander Dick Kelly is still the pitcher on the mound. The Mets try to battle back here in the bottom of the eighth trailing by a run. Swabota up and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a> on deck. Kelly Fitch is high for a ball. Swabota struck outside the center and fouled out to the catcher. Nothing for three today.

1068
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:57,000
1-0 delivery and it's iron away. 2-0.

1069
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:11,000
Now the pitch. Sex, swing, foul, ball and it goes 2-1 to Swabota.

1070
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:31,000
We'll be broadcasting the Mayor's Trophy game from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a> on Wednesday night. There will be no telecast for the Mayor's Trophy game. All the proceeds go for the benefit of Stanlott Baseball in the Greater New York area. 2-1 delivery to Swabota and it's iron away.

1071
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Three balls in one strike. At <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/forbes-field/>Forbes Field</a> in Pittsburgh, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1967/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a> have scored a run off Dennis Ryban in the top of the ninth to tie that game at 1-1. So it goes now to the bottom of the ninth. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-maloney/>Jim Maloney</a> is working in relief of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-nolan/>Gary Nolan</a>.

1072
01:45:51,000 --> 01:46:11,000
As we approach the All-Star break, managers figure they can pull those starters like Maloney in there and use them in relief since they'll have the three days of the All-Star break in which to rest.

1073
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:35,000
3-1 pitch. Popped up. At second base, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/woody-woodward/>Woody Woodward</a> makes the call and the catch. Swabota's out. Here Charles is the batter. He's 1-3. He had a lead off homer in the bottom of the fourth.

1074
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:46,000
Charles is hitting 276th since coming to the Mets from the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/oakland-athletics/1967/overview/>Kansas City Athletics</a>.

1075
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:54,000
Graves four, Mets three.

1076
01:46:54,000 --> 01:47:11,000
Here's a swing and a miss for strike one. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-johnson-2/>Bob Johnson</a> is waiting on deck.

1077
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:30,000
Now the strike one pitch. High for a ball. It's 1-1.

1078
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:44,000
Dick Kelly takes the sign, deals a pitch. Curve ball. It catches an outside corner. It's 1-2.

1079
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:58,000
Charles back into the batter's lock.

1080
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:12,000
Kelly takes the sign from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-uecker/>Bob Uecker</a> and the 1-2 pitch. Swung on. As he strikes out, Charles first strike out to Kelly. Two away for the Mets, batting in the eighth and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-johnson-2/>Bob Johnson</a>'s coming up. He's 1-3. He's a right-hand batter.

1081
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:20,000
This has been a ballgame in which the lead has changed hands several times.

1082
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Willie Stardill has homered in the bottom of the ninth for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1967/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a> to win the ballgame by a score of 2-1 over the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1967/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a> and to give Dennis Ryband his fifth win of the year.

1083
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:37,000
Ryband is five and forward with home run number 12 for Willie Stardill. He hit it off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-maloney/>Jim Maloney</a> working in relief.

1084
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:50,000
Playing a foul ball. Back to first out of play. Going to the bottom half of the eighth inning at County Mac City. And just now in the bottom half of the eighth inning, the Phils have picked up two runs.

1085
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:59,000
So it is now the Cardinals 3 and the Phils 3. It's out at 3-3. Nelson Brow is working in relief with Larry Duster.

1086
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:09,000
Richie Allen hit his eleventh homer of the season in the eighth with one on for the Phils. A pull even with the league leading card. Here's a strike one pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-johnson-2/>Bob Johnson</a>.

1087
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:15,000
On the ground is Short. Big hop up to Dennis Minkie. Cross to Philippa Lue and the side is out in order.

1088
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:24,000
A run's no hit, no errors, none left. At the end of eight full innings, the score is the Braves 4, the Mets 3. And now here's a word from Rheingold.

1089
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:29,000
For 60 years Malcolm Sharp has been taking New Yorkers for a ride.

1090
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:38,000
You know why they need the road windy and since, but you keep us from racing the carriage.

1091
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:45,000
I remember one time I had Diamond Jim in the cab. Race toward Charlie Simmons all the way down to Gramercy Park.

1092
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:54,000
That was easy then. They want more than just a ride now. They want memories, romance, got freedom elegant.

1093
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:59,000
But you're going to be around for a while in New York. You got to give people what they want.

1094
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:07,000
You've got to know what you're doing and you've got to be good because in this town either you have it or you don't.

1095
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:15,000
Same thing's true of beer. There are 302 different brands of beer trying to make it in New York.

1096
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:23,000
But the only one that's made it to the top is the rich, dry lager Rheingold. Rheingold.

1097
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:30,000
In this town either you have it or you don't.

1098
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:38,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> are coming up in the top of the ninth with Dennis Menke to lead off facing Howe runners. Menke is one for three.

1099
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:44,000
In Cleveland in the ninth inning <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-mcmullen/>Ken McMullen</a> is at a three run homer for the Senators and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-howard/>Frank Howard</a> is at a solo homer.

1100
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:50,000
Howard's second homer of the ball game. His 24th hit in the ninth inning. Pitch is low now to Menke.

1101
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:59,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-howard/>Frank Howard</a> leaves the Major Leagues in home run with his 23rd and 24th this afternoon in the first game of a double hitter in Cleveland.

1102
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:06,000
Senators still batting. Here's a swing and a ground ball to short. A big hop up to Harrelson and a cross now to Craneville.

1103
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:12,000
One away. We pause for station identification. This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> baseball network.

1104
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:25,000
This is the bright sound in radio. WGY, a General Electric Broadcasting Company station at 810 on your dial in Schenectady, New York.

1105
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:34,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> and Ralph Kanner at Chase Stadium in New York. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/woody-woodward/>Woody Woodward</a>'s up. Reynolds fits in there for a called strike.

1106
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:48,000
Woodward is nothing but three in this game. The Braves four and the Mets three. Braves batting in the top of the ninth.

1107
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:56,000
The ball is punted foul on the third baseline. Woodward trying to conceal his punt and beat it out for a base hit.

1108
01:51:56,000 --> 01:52:06,000
Two strike count. When the Mets resume National League play after the all-star break, it will be at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/crosley-field/>Crosley Field</a> in Cincinnati on Thursday night

1109
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:15,000
with a Twinnite double header. We'll be broadcasting both games to the Twinniters. Of course, all games for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> are broadcast.

1110
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:28,000
Reynolds takes the time from Grote. Two strike pitch to Woodward is a curve ball. A little high and a little tight.

1111
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:47,000
It's backing out of the way. It's one and two. Pitcher Dick Kelly is on deck. Reynolds one-two offing. In there for a called strike three.

1112
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:55,000
Reynolds gets his first strike out. Woodward caught looking and that will bring up Dick Kelly with two away.

1113
01:52:55,000 --> 01:53:01,000
We'd like to look ahead to the bottom of the ninth. The Mets are scheduled to send up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-grote/>Jerry Grote</a>, the pitcher, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>.

1114
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:17,000
So Manager Westrom can be expected to go to his bench where he has right-handers such as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a>, Leon Jones, Jerry Buchak available there.

1115
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:30,000
Dick Kelly watches the pitch inside for a ball. He is four for thirteen. Although he's a left-hand pitcher, he's a right-hand batter.

1116
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:43,000
Low for a ball.

1117
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:57,000
Reynolds two-oh offing to Kelly right in there for a called strike. He was taking it two and one.

1118
01:53:57,000 --> 01:54:20,000
Down ball foul. Back of first base. Out of play. Counts even now at two-two.

1119
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:28,000
He's playing at a Mets as Kelly threw his bat at the ball and he traveled all the way out about shortstop. Two strikeouts for Reynolds in the inning as he got to side in order.

1120
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:37,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, none left. In the middle of the ninth the score is the Braves four and the Mets three. Now here's a word from Ryngo.

1121
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:53,000
You can't put the wool over their eyes. You can't get the public around here. You can't put one over on these guys. They'll pop you right out on your ear.

1122
01:54:53,000 --> 01:55:07,000
In this town either you have it or you don't. Either you're a pro or you won't get very far. Hey!

1123
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:21,000
There are 302 beers trying to make it in New York from all over. But only one beer has made it to the top. The rich dry lager Ryngo. In this town either you have it or you don't.

1124
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:42,000
Either you're a pro or you won't get very far. Either you have it or you don't. Ryngo.

1125
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:56,000
In the first game of the doubleheader in Cleveland the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/minnesota-twins/1967/overview/>Washington Senators</a> got five runs in the top of the ninth to lead the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-guardians/1967/overview/>Cleveland Indians</a> by a score of eight to five. And in Chicago in the first game of the doubleheader, pitcher Jim Cotter of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/minnesota-twins/1967/overview/>Minnesota Twins</a> has homered in the sixth with one on.

1126
01:55:56,000 --> 01:56:13,000
The Twins lead the Chicago Whites on five to one going to the bottom of the sixth. Right here the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> lead the Mets by one run. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-grote/>Jerry Grote</a> is coming up to lead off for the Mets. And Leon Jones is swinging back in the on deck circle to bat for Hal Runniff.

1127
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:28,000
Another fine relief performance this afternoon here by Hal Runniff who gave up only one hit in the last two innings and that was a line shot in and out of the glove of Harrell from the shortstop by Joe Tory in the eighth inning.

1128
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:36,000
The Mets are battling back here in the bottom half of the ninth inning. Left hander Dick Shelley with the pitch to the right hand batter and it's in there for a called strike.

1129
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:41,000
Now a chant of let's go Mets.

1130
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:51,000
And a right hander Raymond Hernandez, a left hander, working in the Braves bullpen here in the ninth.

1131
01:56:51,000 --> 01:57:00,000
Strike one delivery and it's high for a ball, one and one.

1132
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:12,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dick-johnson/>Dick Johnson</a> worked the first six innings of this ball game and was charged with three runs on seven hits. He struck out three and he walked one. And Dick Shelley came on to pitch the seventh and eighth and he's pitching the ninth here.

1133
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:31,000
He took the lead in the eighth and Shelley is a pitcher of record. His record for the season is one win and seven losses.

1134
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:49,000
One one pitch to Grote. Hung on and missed it one and two.

1135
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:55,000
Shelley is taking the sign from Bob Euker.

1136
01:57:55,000 --> 01:58:03,000
And he takes a long time for Grote. He backs out of the batter's box.

1137
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:11,000
Now he's back in and here's a one two offering. Hung on and this is Shelley gets his second strike out.

1138
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:25,000
And the challenge will come up to bat now for Hal Runniff.

1139
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:37,000
He is hitting two oh one. Three homers and fourteen runs battered in.

1140
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:42,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> is on deck. Harrelson is four for four.

1141
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:51,000
And Harrelson has his season batting average up to two eighty one.

1142
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:58,000
Shelley getting set to work now to right hand batter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a>.

1143
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:12,000
Pick is low for a ball.

1144
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:18,000
Pittsburgh got only three hits off Nolan and Maloney.

1145
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:38,000
But one of them was on homo by Starjowl in the bottom of the ninth to win it. Here's a pitch in for a call strike to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> at one and one.

1146
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:48,000
Braves scored first here this afternoon in the first inning but the Mets tied it in the third and went ahead in the fourth.

1147
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:53,000
And Henry Allen home it in the eighth to make it a four three ball game and that's the score right now.

1148
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:57,000
Atlanta on top. Mets batting in the bottom of the ninth.

1149
01:59:57,000 --> 02:00:02,000
Left hander Dick Shelley with the pitch.

1150
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:06,000
Backhand by Woodward he's supposed to break the end time. Jones is grounded out.

1151
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:11,000
And now how is being called back and Jerry Buczak got a bat for him.

1152
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:18,000
Buczak will bat for Harrelson. Harrelson went four for four today but with two men out of nobody on.

1153
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:27,000
Manager Wes Westrom is gambling on getting a long ball from Buczak.

1154
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:39,000
So it is Buczak batting for Harrelson.

1155
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:46,000
Buczak has had seven home runs this year and 18 runs batted in hitting 227.

1156
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:54,000
Now manager <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-hitchcock/>Billy Hitchcock</a> is going out to the mound to have a word with his left hander Dick Shelley.

1157
02:00:54,000 --> 02:01:04,000
Blaisley four three. Mets batting with two men out of nobody on in the bottom of the ninth.

1158
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:33,000
Now Hitchcock turns and comes back to the dugout.

1159
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:38,000
Buczak settles himself in.

1160
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:47,000
Shelley steps up on the rubber to take the time from catcher <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-uecker/>Bob Uecker</a>.

1161
02:01:47,000 --> 02:02:00,000
Tommy Reynolds is waiting on deck. Here's the pitch and it's high for a ball.

1162
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:07,000
Shelley has given up only one base hit since she came on in the seventh inning.

1163
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:13,000
That was a ground single to left by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> in the seventh.

1164
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:21,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> was intentionally walking that and he hears a swing and a miss. It's one-one.

1165
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:38,000
He gets that intentional walk. Dick Shelley has retired. Six consecutive batters.

1166
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:42,000
One-one pitch. In there for a call. Strike two.

1167
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:47,000
So with two men out in the bottom half of the ninth inning, nobody on base.

1168
02:02:47,000 --> 02:03:12,000
The Braves leading four to three. The count to Buczak goes to one ball and two strikes.

1169
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:20,000
Two and two pitch. Moved him back. It's two and two.

1170
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:23,000
Buczak reaches down and gets a handful of dirt now.

1171
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:29,000
Shelley taking the return throw, walks back behind the rubber.

1172
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:33,000
Mops the ball in the glove and takes out his cap and mops a little perspiration.

1173
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:36,000
Buczak is back in and waiting.

1174
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:39,000
Counts even at two-two with two men out.

1175
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:46,000
Shelley steps up onto the rubber to take the sign.

1176
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:48,000
Buczak swinging the batter as he waits.

1177
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:51,000
Now the two-two offering.

1178
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,000
Fung out and hits deep to right.

1179
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:56,000
And going back to the wall is Aaron and it's going, going.

1180
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:00,000
A home run for Shelley Buczak.

1181
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:06,000
The tie is the score at four-four.

1182
02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:26,000
Shelley Buczak with his eighth home run of the season on a two-two pitch and it's a brand new ballgame at four-four.

1183
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:36,000
Henry Buczak with his eighth home run. His last one came on the 11th of June at Chicago off Turkheisenstein.

1184
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:41,000
And manager Wes Westrom got the long ball that he gambled for.

1185
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:43,000
Now Tommy Reynolds is up.

1186
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:46,000
Shelley's pitch. High football.

1187
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:50,000
And that's it tied in here in the bottom half of the ninth inning.

1188
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:58,000
And the other thing, statistically <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a> is off the hook. He left the game at pitcher of record on the short side.

1189
02:04:58,000 --> 02:05:03,000
He is off the hook now as it's a four-four ballgame in the bottom of the ninth.

1190
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:11,000
And now this crowd is really coming out. They'd like to see the next team going. Two men out.

1191
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:16,000
It's Shelley with a 1-0 pitch to Reynolds and it's low.

1192
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:19,000
Shelley goes behind two and 0.

1193
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:24,000
And a two-two pitch hit by right-hand batter Jerry Buczak and he hit it over the right field fence.

1194
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:28,000
Right over the 371-foot side in front of the scoreboard.

1195
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:32,000
Henry Allen backpedaled to about the middle of the warning track.

1196
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:38,000
And then at the last moment watched it fail over the fence.

1197
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:43,000
A 2-0 pitch to Reynolds. Whoa, it's 3-0.

1198
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:46,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ron-taylor/>Ron Taylor</a> is up and throwing in the net ball fence.

1199
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:50,000
Double barrel action still in the braze ball fence. Right-hander Claude Ramon.

1200
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:54,000
Left-hander <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ramon-hernandez/>Ramon Hernandez</a>.

1201
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:57,000
This will be a 3-0 pitch to Reynolds.

1202
02:05:57,000 --> 02:05:59,000
He was taking it. It's 3-1.

1203
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:03,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> is on deck.

1204
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:09,000
Door side 4-4 on the bottom of the ninth.

1205
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:16,000
Jerry Buczak with a pinch homer to keep the mad hopes alive.

1206
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:22,000
This will be a 3-1 pitch to Reynolds.

1207
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:27,000
He watches low and he walks.

1208
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:32,000
Second walk-in hit by Kelly and that's going to get Kelly out of the ball again.

1209
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:39,000
Claude Ramon is going to be brought in here to pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a>.

1210
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:44,000
And it's a <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-hitchcock/>Billy Hitchcock</a>. He's on his way to the mound.

1211
02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:49,000
He's already made the sign to the ball fence with the right-hander.

1212
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:54,000
Claude Ramon will be coming in here to make his 31st appearance.

1213
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:59,000
He worked night before last, but two innings in which he allowed Noron to only one hit.

1214
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:06,000
As a matter of fact, he hasn't allowed a run in his last one, two, three, four, five, six, seven times out.

1215
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:13,000
The last time he allowed a run was on June 20th at Los Angeles when he worked two-thirds of an inning and gave up one run on two hits.

1216
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:23,000
That's the only run he's given up since he came from Houston to Atlanta for a Wade-Bassing game on the 16th of June.

1217
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:26,000
So he's going to come in here to pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a>.

1218
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:31,000
He's just now getting into the electric cart down in the left field corner.

1219
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:34,000
And it's a <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-hitchcock/>Billy Hitchcock</a>. He's talking to Dick Kelly.

1220
02:07:34,000 --> 02:07:41,000
It looks as though Kelly might get out with a victory, but Jerry Buczak took care of that with his pinch homer over the right field fence.

1221
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:47,000
Kelly cannot possibly be the winning pitcher as he goes out of here now.

1222
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:57,000
Statistically, a temporary beneficiary of the home run is Hal Runnup.

1223
02:07:57,000 --> 02:08:04,000
If the Mets were to get a run and pull it out here in the bottom of the ninth, Runnup would then be winning the two.

1224
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:19,000
Two and two-thirds for Kelly. One run on two hits. So he got two and walked through one of them intentionally.

1225
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:38,000
First game is over in Cleveland. The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/minnesota-twins/1967/overview/>Washington Senators</a> defeating the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-guardians/1967/overview/>Cleveland Indians</a> 8-5.

1226
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:42,000
Dick Lyons gets the win in relief. Bailey takes the loss in relief.

1227
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:47,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-howard/>Frank Howard</a> hits two homers his 23rd and 24th of the season. He leads the majors in that department.

1228
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:55,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-mcmullen/>Ken McMullen</a> had a three-run homer for Washington. Duke Simpson-Max Albers also homers.

1229
02:08:55,000 --> 02:09:06,000
In the seventh inning, the Yankees didn't score and neither did Baltimore, and the resumption of that game suspended last night, the end of sixth.

1230
02:09:06,000 --> 02:09:11,000
The pinch homer by Buczak was the first pinch homer by a Mets player this season.

1231
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:17,000
And it came at a very appropriate time for the Mets because they had gone about as far as they could go.

1232
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:22,000
Two men out, nobody on, down one run with a 2-2 count.

1233
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:29,000
So Kelly was one pitch away from victory if the pitch had been a strike.

1234
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:34,000
The Mets now have a base runner at first who represents winning runs, Tommy Reynolds.

1235
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:40,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> is coming up. He grounded out the first base in the first inning on a hit-and-run play that moved the runner up.

1236
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:46,000
He's single to drive in around in the third. He fouled out to the catcher in the fifth and he was intentionally walked into seventh.

1237
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:56,000
Davis is batting 3-0-8 for the season. Last night he went 4-4-4 and got the thousandth hit of his career. Now he has 1,001.

1238
02:09:56,000 --> 02:10:06,000
So Davis is out on right-hand pitcher Claude Ramon. He's working to him.

1239
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Davis has 10 homers and 42 runs batted in.

1240
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:17,000
A can of let's go Mets. Two men out and a runner at first bottom half of the ninth inning. Ramon is up in fact.

1241
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:25,000
Pitch is flung in and fouled off right off the end of the bat into the Mets dugout and it rebounds out where it's fielded by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a> on the coaching lines at first.

1242
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:29,000
A strike one count to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a>.

1243
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Now it's over. The first and the metals get back safely. Ed Cranebould is waiting on deck.

1244
02:10:54,000 --> 02:11:03,000
Ramon sets up. Goes to first and Reynolds dives back in safely on a close play.

1245
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:09,000
Philippe Ballou thought he might have the audit. He made the sweeping dug and then started to cross the infield.

1246
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:23,000
This fella could have seen umpire making the save sign. Reynolds diving back in to grab that bag with his bare hands.

1247
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:33,000
Scores tied 4-4. Now again a throw over to first.

1248
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:41,000
Rod Ramon trying to keep a short order on Tommy Reynolds.

1249
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:51,000
The runner at first and the score down to bottom of the ninth there's always the possibility of the manager going to the hit and run.

1250
02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:57,000
A looper out of the right center field and coming on is Aaron and he can't get it and Reynolds is going to third.

1251
02:11:57,000 --> 02:12:04,000
There's the throw and it is taken by Boyle not in time. Reynolds is at third base and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> has a looping single to right.

1252
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:11,000
Setting up one at first and third for the Mets and left hand batter Ed Cranebould is coming up.

1253
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:17,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> might very well have broken the bat on that looper.

1254
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:25,000
Henry Aaron came full tilt he couldn't get to it. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/woody-woodward/>Woody Woodward</a> was going back he couldn't get to it.

1255
02:12:25,000 --> 02:12:35,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-hitchcock/>Billy Hitchcock</a> is coming out again. We all want his left hander I imagine <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ramon-hernandez/>Ramon Hernandez</a> to pitch to Cranebould.

1256
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:41,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ramon-hernandez/>Ramon Hernandez</a> is throwing feverishly down there in the bullpen he is a left hander.

1257
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:47,000
Now Hitchcock arrives at the mound to talk to his right hand pitcher Claude Ramon.

1258
02:12:47,000 --> 02:12:59,000
See what Ramon has to say about the situation and how he works to Cranebould before making any decision. None has been made yet.

1259
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:05,000
Might very well want to walk Cranebould and pitch to Swabota.

1260
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:12,000
The run that would be moved up to second wouldn't mean anything as the run at third is the one that's the winning run with two men out.

1261
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:24,000
Swabota is on deck. Swabota today has gone 0 for 4. Cranebould today is 1 for 3 in a walk and he's driven in a run and it's going to be the intentional walk to Cranebould.

1262
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:33,000
So that's the strategy he arrives at. He will walk Cranebould and pitch to Swabota.

1263
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:51,000
An intentional pass is being issued that will load the bases with two men out and bring up Ron Swabota.

1264
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:59,000
So Cranebould gets rid of the bat goes to first that moves <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> up to second. Tommy Reynolds holds at third. The bases are loaded for Ron Swabota.

1265
02:13:59,000 --> 02:14:05,000
He goes back to the top step of the doigot. He's talking to manager Wes Westrom. Now comes back up.

1266
02:14:05,000 --> 02:14:12,000
Swabota batting with the bases loaded.

1267
02:14:12,000 --> 02:14:21,000
The score is 5-4-4. The men trying to pull it out here in the bottom half of the ninth inning.

1268
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:29,000
Right hand pitcher, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/claude-raymond/>Claude Raymond</a> working the right hand batter Ron Swabota.

1269
02:14:29,000 --> 02:14:35,000
Raymond works straight away taking the side from catcher Bob Euker and now he backs off the rubber and looks around.

1270
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:41,000
There are runners everywhere he looks. First, second and third. Now he sets up on the rubber again to take the side.

1271
02:14:41,000 --> 02:14:52,000
Here are runners leading. First, second and third. Here is the pitch to Ron Swabota. It's high for a ball. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ed-charles/>Ed Charles</a> is waiting on deck.

1272
02:14:52,000 --> 02:15:05,000
But one way or the other it's up to Ron Swabota right here. It's the winning run at third and there are two men out.

1273
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:11,000
Reynolds at third, Davis at second, Crane Bull at first. This is a 1-0 pitch.

1274
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:16,000
And there's a check swing that did not go through. It's a ball, 2-0.

1275
02:15:16,000 --> 02:15:27,000
A half swing and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-crawford/>Jack Crawford</a> said he didn't take it far enough. So now Raymond has gone behind 2-0.

1276
02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:33,000
Swabota. Now it's a play. Now measures his stand.

1277
02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:39,000
Now Raymond has good control normally. He's a controlled pitcher.

1278
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:44,000
And here is the 2-0 offering. Outside he goes behind 3-0.

1279
02:15:44,000 --> 02:15:52,000
You can expect your button that Swabota will be taking this pitch. He's looking down at the side now at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-parker/>Charlie Parker</a>.

1280
02:15:52,000 --> 02:15:58,000
Raymond has walked on the eighth man in 41 innings. The bases are loaded.

1281
02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:03,000
Two men out. Coitard, 44. The count, three balls and no strikes.

1282
02:16:03,000 --> 02:16:14,000
To Ron Swabota. Raymond taking a side now from Uker.

1283
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:24,000
Runners lead 3, second and third. The 3-0 pitch. In there for a ball strike. It's 3-1.

1284
02:16:24,000 --> 02:16:32,000
Swabota rakes it down to get a handful of dirt.

1285
02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:38,000
And now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-parker/>Charlie Parker</a> is coming down to be sure that Swabota knows what this sign is.

1286
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:43,000
Swabota hadn't looked at him for a while and Charlie was screaming down there to get his attention.

1287
02:16:43,000 --> 02:16:49,000
The count is 3-1 to Swabota. The bases are loaded.

1288
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:58,000
So it's up to the manager to decide whether to have him take this pitch or turn him loose to swing if he likes it.

1289
02:16:58,000 --> 02:17:05,000
Swabota Raymond. Closed the rubber. Takes a side from Uker. That's baserunners leading at 3, second and third.

1290
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:10,000
Here's a 3-1 pitch. And he walked him. The ball game is over.

1291
02:17:10,000 --> 02:17:16,000
Swabota gets a run out of there. And as the winning run comes in, Reynolds crosses the plate.

1292
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:23,000
And this ball game is over. Reynolds was put on there by Dick Kelly, who becomes the losing pitcher.

1293
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:28,000
Ryan Swabota watched the 3-1 pitch over and threw the walk.

1294
02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:36,000
He is credited with a run out at the end and the Mets pull it out in the bottom of the ninth after Jerry Buczak had a pinch home and he keeps the Mets hope to lie.

1295
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:44,000
So the Mets win it by a score of 5-4 to close out the home stand and take them up to the all-star break.

1296
02:17:44,000 --> 02:17:52,000
In the bottom half of the ninth inning, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> two runs on two hits.

1297
02:17:52,000 --> 02:17:59,000
And there were two men out when the winning run was scored. We'll be back in a moment with the final summary and totals.

1298
02:17:59,000 --> 02:18:06,000
Right now the final score is the Mets 5, the Braves 4. We'll be back with more about the Mets in one moment.

1299
02:18:06,000 --> 02:18:17,000
There was a time early last season when the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> won their first game of the year from the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> when <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-odell/>Billy O'Dell</a>, pitching that time for the Braves,

1300
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:26,000
walked Ron Swabota to force in the winning run. Well, it happened again just a moment ago when Ron Swabota threw a walk with the bases loaded to force in the winning run.

1301
02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:32,000
Tommy Reynolds crossing the plate. Dick Kelly takes the loss. And Hal Runneth gets the win for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

1302
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:42,000
His third is coming up from the Yankees at three wins and a save. It was a lulu of a ballgame, the final game of the home stand and the one that takes the Mets up to the all-star break,

1303
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:51,000
as the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1967/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a> scored in the first inning off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a>. But then the Mets came back as they picked up one in the third inning and another in the fourth.

1304
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:56,000
But then Philippa Lew had a two-run homer for the Braves to put them out in front in the fifth.

1305
02:18:56,000 --> 02:19:05,000
The Mets battled right back to get one to tie it up when Brad Harrelson got his third hit by dragging a bunch the whole second and was knocked in by Ed Cranebough.

1306
02:19:05,000 --> 02:19:10,000
So it was a 3-3 ballgame and some long shots of being hit off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-fisher/>Jack Fisher</a>, who was not at his very best today.

1307
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:18,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-aaron/>Hank Aaron</a> led off the eighth inning with a homer to put the Braves out in front four to three and Fisher went out of the ballgame at that point and Runneth was brought on.

1308
02:19:18,000 --> 02:19:26,000
The ballgame went through the bottom half of the ninth inning, 4-3 Braves, and two men were out when Jerry Buczek was brought up to bat for Harrelson.

1309
02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:32,000
Despite the fact that Harrelson was 4-4-4, manager Weston figured he had to get a man up there who might hit the ball out.

1310
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:38,000
What Jerry Buczek did just that on a 2-2 pitch, he hit it out over the right field fence to tie the score.

1311
02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:46,000
And then Tommy Reynolds drew a walk and that was all for Kelly. As Claude Ramon was brought on, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-davis/>Tommy Davis</a> got a base hit.

1312
02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:56,000
Ed Cranebough was purposely passed to load the bases and then Ron Swaboda drew the walks that forced in the winning run and of course the roadie gets a run back again.

1313
02:19:56,000 --> 02:20:04,000
So the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1967/overview/>New York Mets</a> have closed out this home stand against the top teams in the National League on the stand with a record of eight wins and six losses.

1314
02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:11,000
The win today by the Mets over the Braves is the seventh. It is the most wins the Mets have ever had over the Braves in any season.

1315
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:16,000
Previously six was the top number for the Mets to win over the Braves in a year.

1316
02:20:16,000 --> 02:20:24,000
So the final totals in this ball game, four of the Mets five runs on ten hits and no errors. For the Braves four runs, 11 hits and no errors.

1317
02:20:24,000 --> 02:20:42,000
For the Braves, run up is the winner. Kelly is the loser. The Mets pulled it out by scoring two in the bottom half of the ninth inning to win it five to four.
