Well, I hope you're all set now for the ballgame with plenty of the crisp, refreshing Valentine beer.
See for yourself why over 5 million glasses of Valentine beer are enjoyed every day.
We're all set now for the Yankee baseball game, so let's go down and pick up the starting lineup.
Those are the batting orders for the first game. Copeland has just been removed from the playing field.
Several of the members of the ground crew are doing a little work on the infield.
There's been some scattered rain in the area, just a touch here.
But right now it isn't raining, so there's a better rain.
Remember there's no threats when we ask you to buy some Valentine beer.
Just a suggestion. As a matter of fact, just take the word threat and take the age out.
That's what it amounts to. Treat.
Swallow and everyone to follow. Tell you why over 5 million glasses of Valentine beer are enjoyed every day.
Got some Winston Bonk.
Some hoes to be our game.
Any other use of this play-by-play description without the express consent of the Yankees is prohibited.
After a lap, about two days in the schedule, we resume today with a schedule double-headed.
There'll be a night game tomorrow night with the A's at 8 o'clock.
The Minnesota Twins are in Friday night at 8, Saturday afternoon.
This will be a ladies' day and a double-header on Sunday.
Now there'll be a night game with Los Angeles next Monday night at 8 o'clock.
And next Tuesday night at 8, next Wednesday and Thursday afternoon is the 9th and 10th.
The Yankees go away for three days and return to the stadium for three games on Tuesday night for 15 for the White Sox, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons for 16th and 17th.
And that'll be all the baseball at Yankee Stadium until September the 1st.
So you see the season is moving rapidly downhill.
You start moving uphill about the Fourth of July or a little after that.
In other words, when you get to the midway point, then you start running downhill in the sense that time is beginning to run out.
Of course, maybe you ought to have a different conception of it.
Maybe it's going uphill.
Sometimes it seems that way when you're in the lineup race fighting for top honors.
But the main point is that there's little time left for you to see these crucial games as the team buys for the pennants.
And I do hope you'll make it.
The Yankees today enter the pennant race, a resumption of the pennant race, with a game and a half lead over Detroit, a record of 65 and 36.
The Tigers 64 and 38.
The Orioles projected themselves back into the picture with a double win over the Yankees on Sunday.
Eight and a half out, but 10 on the loss side.
And 11, 101, 61 games yet to go.
So that as far as the Yankees are concerned, the Orioles played a few more games, 14, 104, and 58 to go.
So there's plenty of time for a lot of things to happen.
So we'd suggest that you get your tickets on these big games coming up.
And I might as well tell you, September the 1st, the Yankees do return after the current home stand, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
They're playing Detroit.
So why wait? Now's the time for all good men to come to the aid of themselves.
Today, there are doubleheaders everywhere. Minnesota, Baltimore, Twineye, Los Angeles, Boston, an afternoon doubleheader.
Washington, Detroit, a twineye doubleheader. Chicago, Cleveland, afternoon doubleheader.
The National League.
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, playing a twineye doubleheader. Pittsburgh, St. Louis, a night game.
Only one, San Francisco and Los Angeles, playing one night games.
Milwaukee, Chicago, an afternoon doubleheader.
This game will be just a few minutes tardy and starting due to the fact it started to rain a bit here at a time when the pitchers were delayed and starting to warm up.
So if any questions you folks would like to ask, oh no, we can't do that, can we?
You know, years ago, Russ Hodges, he's working, we used to do a show in which we'd allow people to call us up before the regular game, and we'd do that once a week.
But unfortunately, we had one bad aspect to it. There were too many people who couldn't get through.
In other words, in 15 minutes, half a dozen people or so got through. Hundreds and hundreds couldn't, so you'd make more enemies than friends.
That's easy to do in this business, without trying, I mean.
Like someone the other day mentioned, the other day we forgot when we asked the fans to stand, old timers say, to remember all those players that passed on.
Inadvertently, we lucked out the name of Mel Ott, although we had mentioned it a year ago, but we were not trying to mention everyone's name.
But that was the only thing they could remember the whole day.
So, in any case, the point of it was, it was not an intentional omission.
Otto was one of my best friends. I was master's ceremony years ago.
At a Mel Ott night at the Polo grounds, and we used to do the home games of the Giants as well as the Yankees.
So, you see.
And looking, we see Hank Bauer at Yankee Stadium for the first time as a manager. And coming out to home plate representing the Yankees is Frank Crissetti.
As you know by now, Ralph Houch has been suspended for five days for a run-in with umpire Ed Hurley after the game on Sunday.
I'm far Hurley charging this, uh, Houch bumped him.
Near the, uh, his weight of the dugout.
The story, uh, actually was seen on TV, Yankees take the field.
And it remained for people to make up their own minds about that, uh, situation. I just talked to Ralph. He's going to watch the game.
He's allowed to put on a uniform and be with the players until the start of the game.
Now he's in the clubhouse taking off the uniform. He's going to sit there and watch it on TV.
And right now he'll be listening to our national anthem.
All rights due to the U.S. Department of State, state, and current noise protection authorities...
Yo-Yo White brought down to third base coaching position and going down to first base, Dario
Lodajane.
The Yankees and the A's.
Jim Archer will be doing the pitching, the battery for Kansas City Archer and Zignitano
and for New York, Ford and Howard.
And the best batter in all, baseball and Valentine.
Whitey today is seeking his 20th victory.
He's won 19 and lost 2.
This will be his 26th start.
He has never become a 20-game winner.
He has won 19 before, he won 18, never a 20-game winner.
Now, I think that when you make that statement, the statement should be qualified.
There were times he might have been, but there were years when he was used as a spot pitcher to this extent.
They would save him for the top team, large, not exclusively, but largely.
This year, Ralph Houser decided to start him every four days.
Wherever it didn't make a difference who it was, whenever his turn came up, that was it.
So, we're set to go.
Ford is bringing nothing against the A's this year.
Ready to pitch to little Dick Houser, batting 266, right-hand batter.
The windup, the first pitch of the game is in there.
Black one, call.
Joe Paparotta for the right-hand.
Ed Rungamp firing at first.
Sam Carrigan in second.
Cal Drummond at third.
Houser, quick.
Right-hand batter.
The pitch is swung on and popped up into short.
The center, Kubek goes out.
Mandolin, Kubek makes the catch and is a ball away.
Now, Wing Cosby, batting 310.
Left-hand hitter.
Last year was Vancouver, batted 265.
Kubek Gardner comes over to talk to Whitey Ford for a moment.
Sleep Boyer jammed a thumb on Sunday.
It stayed on in anyway.
That's the game.
Whitey gets that.
Swings for the windup, the pitch of the left-hand batter is swung on,
a bouncer at out to second.
And played by Richardson over the first ten times.
He had to play it on that tricky in-between hop.
He had to get rid of the ball in a hurry because he moves quickly.
Two down and up comes Leo Posada, hitting 255.
Norm Seabron on deck.
Serve, Mandolin, Maras in the outfield.
Ford goes to the windup and the pitch is a ball that bounces into the dirt.
It's the place, ball one.
One-nothing count.
One ball, no strikes.
Now the windup and the pitch.
Fastball is a little high ball, too.
Right off of it.
Leo Posada.
This fellow can hurt you now and then.
The two-nothing takes the right-hand batter, and there's strike one, two and one.
Two balls, one strike.
Two-one delivery. Fastball is hung on and missed.
Strike two.
I believe that was a slider.
I'll take that back.
Came up there looking like a fastball, but it slid.
Two balls, two strikes.
The two-two pitch.
Fastball is hung on and missed. Strike three.
The guy is retired.
No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left on.
And at the end of the first half, the first inning, Kansas City nothing, New York coming to bat.
Take it all to six-back.
Jolly, jolly, take it back.
Take it all to six-back.
A ball down the line will have one back.
Six-pack a beer, six-pack a beer, so quickly, reflecting any time. Valentine, Valentine, so nice.
Valentine, just right, it's a great, great, great Valentine.
Happy on that man's holy Valentine can.
Take the jolly six-pack, jolly, jolly six-pack home today.
Next time, take along a six-pack, a jolly six-pack of Valentine beer.
It carries with ease, cools in a breeze.
And best of all, it gives you six icy cold cans of the crisp refresher.
Take the jolly six-pack, jolly, jolly six-pack of ice cold Valentine beer.
The last half of the first inning.
Bobby Richardson, Tony Kubek, and Roger Maris coming up.
Six-foot, 190-pound, 28-year-old left-hander Jim Archer with a record of seven and five.
He can be a troublesome guy, but his sharp breaking stuff goes to the windup and the pitch.
Low outside, ball one.
Gives you a lot of that slow stuff.
He mixes in the fast from now and then.
Beat the Yankees in the stock 4-3 this year.
Now the pitch, long on, lined over third.
Down the left field line, it's a fair ball.
Bounding out along the line, Bobby turns first, flies to second, and goes in with two bases.
The throw-in gets away from Cosby, but backing up a big maternal.
It's a double for Richardson.
Bobby's tenth double.
I get a kick out of watching Bobby run for an extra base.
You got both arms out to...
Blowing out like the wings of an airplane for ballast.
Here's Tony Kubek batting 287.
He's shortened up at third.
Jim Archer to the stretch.
And the pitch.
Bow to the right of the plate, strike one on a half swing.
You see the object of a hit or falling, a man who opens with two bases.
To try, if possible, to hit the ball on the ground to the right side of the infield back.
To move the man over to third where he can score on out.
He doesn't try to always give himself up as such unless he just is up at the front.
Archer ready.
Swung on, it's grounded to the right side in through the right field for a base hit.
Richardson around third, comes on in to score.
Come to nothing, New York.
Tony Kubek singles to the right for a score of Bobby Richardson and it's 1-0 in New York.
Roger Maris steps up batting 280.
Man on deck.
Jim Archer's beaten the Yankees twice actually and there's two strikes against him.
End of the stretch, looks over at first.
The pitch to Rod, just swung on, grounded to Seabrook, steps on first.
Both the second attack, double play on a great play by Seabrook.
Norm didn't get off the bag too far.
As Maris Wong had a hard shot inside the bag.
Seabrook ducks back, spirit of steps on first, threw down the Hauser to double up Kubek.
Throw there two down, up comes Mantle batting 329.
Jim Archer now with two down, nobody on, concentrate on the hitter completely.
The pitch is in there for a strike, nothing in one.
Seabrook is just starting to dance off, he has danced off about another foot, that ball would have been a double.
Here's the one strike pitch to Mantle, swung on, bow back, they threw him a change up, nothing in two.
No balls, two strikes.
Two strikes, two outs, nobody on.
Archer into the wind, up around comes the left arm and the pitch is low outside.
He showed him a fast ball, the waste pitch.
One, two counts.
Now let's see what he tries to make him hit, or not hit.
And the pitch, swung on and bow back, smoke curve.
Look at the kids find the popcorn.
Double feature today, one ball, two strikes.
Jim Archer into the wind, up around comes the left arm, the pitch and Mantle swings and misses out of thanker.
Track three, Dodger dies.
One run, two hits, no errors and no one left off.
And that's the end of the first inning, New York won, Kansas City, nothing.
The batteries are delayed.
In Boston it must be raining up there too.
New York, we have a night game here tomorrow night with Kansas City.
At eight o'clock Minnesota Friday night, Saturday afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, a doubleheader Sunday.
And a make-up game with Los Angeles next Monday night.
Appears as an open date on most of your schedules, except some of the new revisions have been sent out.
Night game with LA next Monday night.
Tuesday night, regular schedule night game and Wednesday afternoon the ninth, Thursday afternoon the tenth.
Norm Sebring leads off in the second inning for Kansas City.
It seems to be a little bit in the air when you're playing a team that's down on the standings, but those are the teams that can hurt you most.
The team's fighting for pennants as they try and gear up against them.
Forward to the wind, up the pitch to Sebring.
Inside, ball one.
Norm hitting 295. Lumpy and Darren Johnson to follow.
Wides to the wind, up and the sidearm pitch is swung on and hits foul on the first base line.
Strike one, one and one.
A line drive that landed foul beyond first base called by Ed Runge at once.
Fastball, one strike.
No understanding, pretty far away from the plate.
Forward, six and overhand fastball that's in there.
Strike two, one and two. We've got the inside corner.
A one and two count.
Now let's see if he comes sidearm with a curve.
He's into the wind up, the sidearm curve is swung on and grounded to second.
Forward gets over, takes the toll from Richardson.
In time, Moose had gone wide to the right.
You can see a pattern every once in a while.
Forward gets two strikes on a left-hand batter.
He's still frequently, especially if he comes with an overhand pitch for the second strike,
he'll come sidearm with a sweeping curve.
Now he may not continue that the next time he were to get a sweep and two strikes.
He might, he depends on the type hitter.
He might change the pattern on him.
Right now here's Jerry Lumpy batting 290.
The delivery fastball swung on and missed, strike one.
No balls, one strike.
Outfield straight away for Jerry.
Gardner shortened up at third.
Forward into the wind up and the pitch is swung on and bounced foul down the first base line.
Whitey came in with about a three-quarter motion, somewhere between an overhand and sidearm.
He's picked up a few new tricks this year.
We watched him.
Motion is so much a part of pitching.
Takes Stu Miller.
There's a lot of guys, of course you would.
He gets you out on that motion.
They just swing at that motion and the ball isn't up the plate yet.
Comes side delayed, male.
Here's the pitch and it's inside.
Or did it hit the bat?
I couldn't tell. It hit the end of the battery at the ground.
I see some fingers, Mr. Ompire.
Go board has nothing in two.
Did you think it hit the end of the bat?
Yeah, I couldn't tell. It hit the end of the middle of the bat.
Forward into the wind up and the pitch.
It's over the inside corner for 12-track 3, overhand fastball.
That overhand fastball is something these fellas haven't seen yet.
Whitey has been coming up for that since last he saw.
Here's Darren Johnson.
He's at 14 out of 102.
Whitey has 150 strikeouts now for the season.
Pitch to the right hand batter, swung on and hit the foul.
Right of the plate, out of play.
That's his career high for total strikeouts in the season.
At 145 in 1958.
One to nothing, New York, second inning.
Darren Johnson, who's got a lot of power, he can't make a mistake with him.
Forward to the wind up and the pitch is a change up, swung on, hit high to left.
There goes serve back to get under it.
And he has it at the running track.
Drive's retired.
No runs, no hits, no errors and no one left on.
At the end of an inning and a half, New York won, Kansas City nothing.
The C-R-I-S-T, the Crispy Fresh Year.
To be crisp of ear must be icily light.
The Crispy Fresh Year is icily light.
With true lager flavor is icily right.
The Crispy Fresh Year is icily right.
Lively golden, crispily clear.
The Crispy Fresh Year, Crispy Fresh Year.
Valentine, Valentine, year.
With your first swallow and everyone to follow, today's Valentine delivers a sunny, mellow taste that really refreshes.
Since people know quality when they taste it, over five million glasses of Valentine beer are enjoyed every day.
So clap your hands, clap your feet, clap your fingers.
And that's the last one, Valentine, the Crispy Fresh Year.
Valentine, Valentine, year.
Since 1840, America's finest.
In the last half of the second inning, Elston Howard leads off, Gower on deck serve to follow.
Howard batting.351.
Left handed Jim Archer's pitch is over the inside corner, strike one.
Outfield straight away.
Archer's next delivery.
Outside, ball one, one and one.
A one and one count on Howard.
Wind is blowing in from right out toward left up high.
Now the pitch, swung on and fouled back, strike two, one and two.
One ball, two strikes.
Archer to the windup and the pitch.
The slow pitch is swung on and fouled off to the right of the plate, out of play upstairs.
Looking warm to throw the sinker.
Archer again to the windup and the pitch.
Swung on and missed as he crowded him with a fastball.
He knows how to pitch, I'll tell you that.
I'd say the Yankees are in for an interesting ball game, the looks of him.
Here's Phil Scow.
Hitting 273.
Archer into the windup and the pitch.
Down there, strike one, getting out in front of him.
Down the left hander into the windup, delivers.
Slow pitch is swung on and grounded off the second.
Nice shot by Lumpy to throw the first inside.
Garron tried to hit the curve to right field, almost got it through the hole.
Swung to his left quickly, ranged far and came up for the ball.
Two down, here's Bob Serves, heading 222.
Archer pitches to Bob, low curve over, strike one.
He's got a lot of pitches, low curve, sharp breaking pitch, rider, sinker, fastball.
He uses them all.
And the pitch, fastball inside, one and one.
One ball, one strike.
And the one and one pitch.
Inside, ball two, two and one.
Two balls, one strike.
The two one pitch to Big Bob.
Swung on, lined over Serves down the left field line.
Garron chases it, Serves turns first, he's heading for two, here's the throw and Bob slides and he is safe.
Ball actually got by Lumpy and hit Serves as he came in.
Double the left for Bob Serves.
His seventh double.
And that's the only pitch and he may discard that one or except move it over, different position.
Richardson hits that slow curve, it hung inside and slapped it over Serves for a double, as did Serves just now.
Here's Billy Gardner batting 243.
Billy hits all fields.
He looks for the curve, it's out away from him, he'll try and go to right field, otherwise he'll pull.
Archer's pitch, over the outside corner, strike one, nothing and one.
Two down in the second inning, one to nothing, New York.
Jim Archer again to the stretch and the pitch.
Swung on and hits foul down the right field line out of play, strikes two, nothing and two.
Now Fowler's bringing Darren Johnson in a little bit in right field.
Figures, as we were saying to you before, if he tries to get the base at the right he had a better chance than throwing Serves out of the plate.
No ball, two strikes and the pitch.
It hits him on the elbow.
It's inside and Gardner is hit by a pitch ball.
He's where he wanted to be, Whitey Ford's coming up, he wants a chance to drive the run in.
Now they're trying to get Posada's attention in left field, Bauer.
And Glick David's come in.
That's a good count in the daisies out there, this is your forward stop, you have to play back at the fence.
Two down, the pitch.
In there, strike one, nothing and one.
It was a different gesture than just the easy motion of Fowler and he just made that quick gesture.
Indicative of an orange to some degree.
Here's the pitch and it's over, strike two, nothing and two.
Two on, two out, two strikes.
One nothing, New York, last to the second.
Ford with 12 hits in 25 games, fighting 179.
Nothing and two to count on Whitey and the pitch.
No runs, ground ball hits the second. Lumpy up with it, throws on to Seabrook and the side's retired.
No runs, one hit, no errors and two left on.
At the end of two innings, New York one run, three hits, no errors, two left on.
The A's three up and three down.
New York is a summer festival.
And the A's come to baseball games at Yankee Stadium, a part of the panorama that is the summer festival of New York.
We pause for a festive station identification.
Yankee baseball exclusively yours over 1460 radio, WOKO Alton in New York.
In 30 seconds, one minute past two.
Elsewhere, Los Angeles and Boston have scored at the ten of an inning and a half.
Donahue and DeLock in their first game.
And Chicago, Cleveland double-hitter, by the way, will be denied.
All the rest of the action tonight.
The National League, Milwaukee, Chicago, first game be Willie against Hobby.
Now in the first of the third, Vickentano, Delgret Co, Archer coming up.
Bottom third of the order.
And the fourth, trying to get his 20th of the year for the first time in his career.
Goes to the windup and the pitch, the right-hand batter is inside, ball one.
Vickentano batting 263.
Outfield straight away.
The windup and the next pitch is a fastball over, strike one, one and one.
One ball, one strike.
The one-one pitch.
And the next pitch is going on a foul off out of play upstairs, one and two.
One ball, two strikes.
Thirteen's leading of the year between these two teams.
Yankees are one-nine, the A's three.
Yankees are five and one at home against them and four and two away.
Forward to the windup, the one-two pitch, curve is swung on, hits deep to left, serve.
He's got it at the running track and has it.
Now Bobby Delgrecco.
Came to the A's from the Phillies.
West Covington going to the Phillies and the A's.
Delgrecco, ten for 51, batting one-nine-six.
That was with the Yankees briefly at one time.
Here's the pitch, swung on a grounded foul, strike one.
They had him for defensive purposes.
He can go get the ball.
Nothing and one to count on, Bobby.
Whitey goes through his windup and the next pitch is low and inside, ball one, one and one.
The wind is picked up.
Going out toward left is pretty good pace.
The one-one pitch to the right-hand batter, swung on and foul,
backstrike two, one to nothing, New York leading, third inning.
One ball, two strikes.
Whitey swings through the windup, here's the pitch, fastball swung on,
it's a high fly ball and a short left.
Little bit to left center, serve under it, has it, and they're two away.
He's made the last three footouts.
All right-hand hitter is hitting to left field.
Now Jim Archer is coming up, two for 33.
The Cows are to follow.
Cows are popped out.
Rather, Archer up right now, takes a strike.
The Cows are on deck.
Nothing and one to count on, Archer, right-hand hitter.
Gardner shortens up a little at third.
Forward into the windup and the pitch is a curve, foul off.
Ball bounced up and hits the pitcher and kicked off into third territory.
Nothing and two.
One to nothing, New York, it's the third inning.
Serve and left, Madeline center, Maris and right.
Outfield shortens a little for Archer.
Here's the two-strike pitch, fastball swung on and missed strike three.
Ward records his third strikeout as 151st of the season.
He retires the A's in order over the first three innings.
No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left on.
At the end of two and a half innings, New York won, Kansas City nothing.
And now coming to you live from Yankee Stadium,
I've thought about two very important things that go into a truly fine beer.
The first is lightness.
The second, flavors.
To really refresh, a beer must have lightness plus a lot of beer flavors.
And that's where the Chris Professor Valentine beer comes in.
Of course, it actually comes into the stadium through our truck to deliver it here.
But I mean, you know, you know what I mean.
If you don't, you ought to try and find out.
Valentine combines the best of both, talking about lightness and flavor,
to deliver the taste you've been searching for in beer.
So call off that search. Call in Valentine.
Taste, get that taste, sunny, mellow, as crisp and refreshing as all outdoors.
If lightness alone won't do for you, if you want a beer with flavor too,
then make the good old three-ring sign and ask the man for Valentine.
People know quality when they taste it.
And that's the reason why over five million glasses of the Chris Professor enjoy it every day.
Valentine beer, top of the New York order, last of the third.
Bobby Richardson swings with the high fly ball in the short left center.
And the ball is being caught by Leo Posada.
With Del Grecco suddenly slowing up,
out of the shortstop going out, suddenly slowing up.
They hollered Leo, I guess, and he kept coming.
Looks for a moment, if all three were offstop.
Bobby flies the short left center through left feet of Leo Posada.
Bobby is doubled in the first inning and scored on Kubek singles.
Tony up night in 289. Jim Archer is picked low outside, ball one.
The one nothing delivery, swung on and missed, grounded him with a fast ball, one-one.
One ball, one strike.
And the one-one pitch.
Third ball is swung on and grounded to second.
Lumpier for this, flips on the three-ring and they're two away.
Now Roger Merritt, who's hard grounder, was turned into a double play by Ciber in the first inning, batting 279.
Archer to the windup and the pitch, high ball one.
The Yankees have really been getting the left-handers thrown at them.
They will as often as possible.
And the pitch, swung on and missed, strike one, one-one.
Now the one-one pitch hits outside.
The next delivery swung on and grounded foul on the first base line, 2-2.
Since the White Sox came in last Tuesday, the Yankees have gotten at least four on the right field line out of play.
Low curve.
The Yankees generate more power against the right-hand pitchers because they can put more power on the lineup among left-hand batters.
So they throw left-hand pitchers against them.
A 3-2 delivery, swung on foul back out of play, which is what I would do if I was managing against them.
Left-hand pitchers and off-speed pitchers like Kenny Brown, Wilhelm, are right-hand pitchers.
That also helps neutralize their power.
Three balls, two strikes, two outs.
Third inning, one-up in New York.
Jim Archer's picked on the way, swung on and popped foul.
Back to Stignato, but the ball is out of play.
Four counts.
At the end of the wind-up, here's the pitch. Look out, it's inside ball four.
Marathwa.
Tried the sidearm pitch and almost hit him with it.
Brings up the mantle, hitting 3-28.
Stuck out in the first inning.
Nick has suddenly gone into a slump.
He hasn't had a hit in a few times fast and consecutively.
Thinks it's about Saturday.
Two away.
And the pitch.
Outside, ball on. One ball, no strikes.
One-to-nothing New York, third inning.
Jim Archer's stretch and the pitch. Swung on, grounded to score.
Up over to Hauser, flips on over to Lumpy.
And that forces Marathwa, and the side is retired.
No runs, no hits, no errors, and one left on.
Struck him out on a sinker in the first inning, made him hit one here in the third.
At the end of three innings, New York one run, three hits, no errors, three left on.
And the A's zero all the way around. Mantles at one out of twelve.
As you will know if you watch the score, long enough, all hitters have their moments and suddenly they cool off and they get hot again.
Saying the words of the manager is he hopes they're biting through off at the same time.
However, when you're warm, we all hope that you cool off all the time with Valentine.
And a thirst will be happier when you take along six packs of Valentine beer.
Los Angeles and Boston scoreless end of two innings, Donahue and DeLon.
And that's all we have to report right now, except Milwaukee, Chicago will be willing against Bobby.
Short of the fourth inning is the top of a Kansas City order, shortstop coming up, Dick Houser.
I can think. No better foul to tell you about what a shortstop does than shortstop Phil LeZou, though.
Oh, okay, now the first pitch to Dick Houser is on the outside corner, strike one, call.
Houser pops with a shortstop in the first inning, Whitey Ford ready.
Fastball hit on the ground is short, Kuvac to his right, he's up with it, the long throw is high and Houser's off the space.
The throw pulls Scharren off the bag and Houser, who can go down that line, beat it out.
It's an error charged to Kuvac.
Tony went far to his right, came up with the ball, seemed to hesitate a moment, then tried to put a little extra on it.
And the ball was high enough that Scharren had a leap in the air, Moose got his glove on it to knock it down, but Houser was across the bag.
And there's the first baserunner for the Kansas City A's.
After Ford had retired the first nine men that he faced, here's Wayne Corsi, bounced the second base in the first inning.
The Yankees lead 1-0, stretched by Ford, picked up Corsi as a curve aside, ball one.
Billy Gardner way in the third base, Kuvac trading the left-hand headed short second.
Ford's fastball hit deep to right field, way in the corner, and it's a fair ball, a home run for Wayne Corsi.
A short hit off Whitey Ford, a line-line home run that just got in the front row of field, just in fair territory in the right field corner.
Ford Corsi has fought home run of the year, and the Yankees take a 2-1 lead.
Tony Err with Corsi, brings up Leo Posada, struck out in the first inning.
Here's the windup by Whitey, the curve is over, strike one, call.
Corsi got out in front of Ford's side-on fastball, and he hit a bullet right in the right field corner.
One strike quick, the ground ball to the right side, Richardson was left up with it, throws to Skahn, one away.
That brings up Norm Steben, who bounced out the second base in the second inning.
Steben leaving the club in RBI's with 65.
Big ball, left-hand hitter.
This to Steben is a low-denise ball one, on deck Jerry Lumpy.
One-nothing curve, long away, ball two, two-nothing.
Nice, cool day at the stadium for this double-header, sure a lot different than it was Sunday.
And it was close.
There's a two-nothing pitch for Steben.
It's over, he checked his swing, but the curve out of the play.
Two balls, one strike.
Now the 2-1 delivery.
Curve ball is on the outside corner again, strike two, two-and-two.
Ford gulps off two dandy curve balls for Steben.
Here's the 2-2 delivery, another curve, this one just outside, Howard started to fire the ball down the third base.
Now this time Joe Paparello stood a little outside, L.E. poked out on Norm Steben.
One out, nobody on, the A's leading 2-1 in the top of the fourth.
Now the playoff pitch for Steben, curve ball, it's strike three, again Steben checked his swing, but the curve was over.
The whitey gets strike out number four.
He's had one in each inning, giving a total of 152 on a year.
Here's Jerry Lumpy who was called out on strike in the second inning.
Whitey's off the line to the left field of base hit.
There's a jump of it, and Lumpy went the opposite way that time and drilled a single pass.
Tony Kubek and Tony tried to backhand that hot smash.
That's the second hit off Whitey.
That brings up Derren Johnson who's tied deep to left field in the second inning.
Now holding first against Lumpy, two away.
On deck, Joe Pignapano.
That's my whitey.
There's a low inside ball one.
And Derren wants Joe Papparello to take a look at the ball.
Joe does then find it okay.
Again, whitey sets.
Lumpy leading away.
Their ball is over this time, one and one.
Whitey sets.
The fastball is low, ball two, two and one.
The home run by Wayne Crosby was the 14th home run served up by Whitey Porth this year.
Ready for the two-one delivery.
Hit on the ground on the third, Gartner's up with it, goes to second base with a four-time Lumpy sliding in.
So 40A's in the top of the fourth, they come up with two runs on two hits, one Yankee error, one man left.
The score at the end of three and a half, Kansas City two and the Yankees one.
A case of all the big backs, jolly jolly big backs, a case of all the big backs, across the bounce line, you have one back.
The fear, three back, the fear, took the three, we're backing 89, battle, one, battle, nine, two, nine, battle, nine, just whitey's in fifth, three, play your bounce line.
The score at the end, only a bounce line, and a case of all the big backs, jolly jolly big backs, of today.
Next time, take along a six-pack, a jolly six-pack of Valentine beer.
It carries with ease, cools in a breeze, and best of all, it gives you six icy cold cans of the crisp refresher.
It carries along with a six-pack, jolly jolly six-pack of Valentine beer.
Elston Howard leads off for the Yankees here on the bottom of the fourth, New York trailing two to one.
The Yankees are in the lead with a 3.65 batting out of it.
Howard takes the two ball outside, ball two, two and nothing.
On deck, Bill Stauer.
Watch his serve is low inside, ball three, three and nothing.
He takes right in there, strike ball.
Joe Papparello calling balls and strikes.
He comes back in a hurry with a fast ball, it's low, it's time, ball four.
Howard walks, and that's the first second base on balls given up by Arthur.
He walks now, it's in the third inning.
Bill Stauer who bounced the second base in the second inning.
Pitch to the Moors who's in there, strike one, called.
Stephen holding first against Howard.
Left-hander Pitch, the pitch to the ground ball, the third, causey.
To Lumpy for one, back to first, and Stephen drops it in the second hole with a throw within the dirt.
It will not be an error for Stephen.
Lumpy's throw bounced in the dirt, and Stephen got his glove on it and then dropped it.
No error on the play, it'll go as a fourth play.
From third to second, Lumpy hurried his throw, he went quite a bit of time.
And Stauer is safe at first.
It'll be a bounce to Herb who doubled in the left-field corner in the second inning.
Run away.
Pitch to serve, it's Blaine, and a missed strike, one, and serve, had a good cut of that one.
Down with a short lead off first, the pitch is low, one-on-one.
Watch the strikers.
On one delivery, he hits his bat as he tried to check his swing.
One ball, two strikes.
Ready for the one ball, two strikes, pitch.
Lumpy is in there, strike three, call, serve, take it, with his bat on his shoulder.
Strikeout number three for Archer.
Here's Dlingle Billy Gardner who was hit by a pitch ball in the second inning.
Two outs, down at first, two-one, Kansas City lead.
All stand for the fourth inning.
Let's pitch to Gardner, ground ball to third, cause the uppercut,
flips to Lumpy for the fourth on Sharon.
For the Yankees in the bottom of the fourth inning, no runs, no hits, no Kansas City errors.
One man left.
The score at the end of the fourth full inning, Kansas City two runs, two hits, no errors.
The Yankees have one run on three hits and one error.
Now this is Bob Delaney and we're on the go again with the rest of the game
brought to you by the Atlantic Refining Company and your Atlantic dealer
who offer you Atlantic Imperial, the gasoline that cleans your carburetor and keeps it clean.
The Atlantic Refining Company.
85, Joe Fignatana first up and Bob Adelzak on and then it's pitch to Gil Archer.
It's a two-one ball game, Kansas City.
Throwing in all the fouls that were on last inning and then Wayne Carr that landed just inside the foul pole and right.
The Yankee run was the first two battles of the game, a double but let's just think about two bats.
24 to run behind, Dunning for a 20th win.
Pitchers on the outside, things up on it, ball one.
Figgiton, oh, right-hand hitter.
Pitching 262.
Here's Brooklyn, boy.
Wings and lines of the ball down the left field line and hooks it foul.
Joe Fignatana with the Ben Brookson Dodgers and his basic reason was that he wanted to sign with the ball side where he'd be close to home.
You know, soon they got in the group and they went to Los Angeles.
Kansas City got in there and they won it.
One-one-fifth high outside, ball two.
Actually, I think if there's anything that is really like quicksand, it's trying to make a decision on something rather than you stay close to home because his life didn't work out that way.
There's a high five ball down the left field corner and it is coming foul into the stands.
Often you have kids say, well, I want to go to college in my home state because that's where I'm going to live, make a lot of friends.
And he winds up a thousand miles away.
Two off the strike.
First find out, spinning five, fourth, 15-hour catching.
Perry will be the Yankees' start in the second game.
Two-two-fifth, going on to the high foul ball over by the Yankee dugout and behind it.
Joe's going to.
A little friend out, Dittmar, will start in the second game for Kansas City.
This is the last time that the A's will be in this year. You begin to realize, in addition to the cooler weather today, that the summer is about to get away from us.
So every team that now comes into the stadium is coming in to say hello and farewell.
Minnesota are in Friday night, Saturday afternoon, later day and a double-headed Sunday.
Then Los Angeles comes in Monday night.
This is almost called strike three.
Whitey got him just above the knee.
That's a six-track out.
He's been 153 for the year.
He has a much more strike out this year than he ever has in any one season before.
He's never won more than 19.
He's going up to 20, but the A's lead him by one, two to one.
Up at Del Greco.
Just outside, Whitey changed slightly off the five ball.
Del Greco first came up for the par.
He was in his hometown and he started on his baseball travels.
He was in the Yankees for the two-teens.
Swings and hits a high five ball deep to the left penalty.
A serve goes back. He gets under it now.
Unhappy.
Two up, two down.
And puts a gym on him.
He has a lot of breaking stuff and slow stuff.
He's been wasting his time, and he's beaten the Yankees twice.
They haven't beaten him.
Speaking about breaking stuff and slow stuff,
these big Yankee batters and American League batters are still unable to realize what
the few miles a giant's get to to finish up that Boston.
Such a blow for one.
One ball, north side.
Two down.
Off to the right hand batter.
Swing, fouls it all.
One one. The Yankees have got two back back in their shorts.
Now they've got their right, but they're missing Boyer.
There's a butt effort for a base hit and a miss strike two.
Boyer got hit severely on the thumb of his right hand and his going hand, Sunday.
Sheldon, who had to retire on Sunday, second game,
between the muscle and his pitching elbow, they find that he's all right.
They don't think he's going to miss a turn.
He threw today in the arm responded favorably.
One two pitch, like three call, a little serve on the outside corner, does an end.
Six blackouts today for Whitey.
And at the end of four and a half pennies, the score is Kansas City 2, New York 1.
Atlantic Imperial, the quality gasoline that cleans your carburetor as you drive,
is now backed by the clean carburetor test.
We're so sure you'll agree that Atlantic Imperial gasoline improves your car's performance,
but we're inviting you to prove it without risking an extra penny.
Now here's how Atlantic's clean carburetor test works.
Use 100 gallons of Atlantic Imperial and ask for a receipt with each purchase.
If you're not completely satisfied that Atlantic Imperial gives you smoother idling,
less stalling, and generally improved your car's performance, just mail a receipt to Atlantic.
We'll pay the difference between the cost of 100 gallons of Atlantic Imperial and regular gasoline,
and that's all there is to it.
You'll like the difference Atlantic Imperial makes, or we'll pay the difference.
Start using Atlantic Imperial soon.
This is WOKO, Albany, New York.
After the fifth inning, Whitey Ford first up, Archer gives them a still terrible look, we're called tight.
Whitey bounce out second to first in the second inning.
Got a dozen hits to most of any of the Yankee pitchers.
Swings and there's his 13th.
I drive with the right field for a clean face hit.
So, Whitey puts the tying run on and the first of his 12th.
Swings, finger to the right.
13th hit.
Well, Ferry notices that. I'm sure Ralph is back up with 11, and he's going to be the starting pitcher in the second game.
They're putting a jacket on Whitey at first, and it's hard to say for the notification.
Okay, now Bobby Richardson with one for two steps in.
In the first inning, he doubled and two-backs caught him with a single.
A-3, 2-1.
There's a paint job right over for 12 strikes.
This fellow has wonderful close-ups.
Probably hitting 2 for 3-8.
A-4 ball, there's so foul in the left-field corner.
We've got a lot of the crowd out here today.
And, folks, it's always hard in the triple-deck fans where we sit, we cannot be back under the nudge, you know, in the third deck except out in the corner.
It's always hard to try and judge just how many people are here.
But I would say that this crowd today will put the Yankees just about up the one million mark on home page.
That's a foul ball all the way up the first base.
The Yankees are going to this ball game today, beating 27,500 saves.
It's a million mark at home.
A-2 tomorrow night.
So if we don't get it today, we'll nail it tomorrow.
For sure.
Tomorrow evening.
A-2, strike six, going on in line to the third baseman.
That's far to throw to first.
And Whitey is back.
He slid in there in time.
He also slid into first baseman Stephen's right foot.
Tom is looking at it a little bit.
Ed Runge of the first baseman, part third.
You want time for all to check your foot, and Stephen says no.
The line's all right.
He's going to the third baseman, one down.
Tony Kuvak, one for two, hitting 288.
He's got wings and lines.
And the crowd is calling a parry.
Nice.
A top double play in the first inning, walk in the third, hitting 279.
As you know, Ed's the most runs by today, the home runs in the big leagues.
Runs the first and second, and field double play depth.
Outfield left right, a slow curve is inside, almost above the knees, and it is ball one.
Cezetti coaching at third base, Moses coaching the first.
And the house on a five-day suspension during the actual play of the game.
Cezetti is calling the shots, game runs along except for the pitching,
which Johnny Stainwell handled as a slow curve or look what I call a strike.
Still has a slow breaking stop.
All right, one and one, forward, with his jacket on, leads off second.
Kuvak with his second hip leads off first.
Marist is not in the box, time is held.
Archer didn't notice it, started the pitch,
and was stopped by both the play down par and the catcher.
Two to one, Kansas City.
Marist hitting a metal to Benach.
Archer pitches one and one, and has a ground foul, back of plate.
On the ball, two strikes.
Will Paparello back of the plate.
Ed Runger first.
Dan Sharigan down second.
Sal Zummer, this third.
All right, the foul ball is in the tree.
A new racket is out of the mound.
Taking the time, I want to have a check something with his pitcher.
Now the catcher settles on his honking back of the plate, and we're ready to continue.
Archer steps, delivers.
There's a foul kick that the catcher is unable to hold as Marist checks his swing.
That was a fast curve, sort of a flat on the outside.
All right, two and two.
Now it is two ball, it is one ball and two strikes.
That is what play down par Paparello is showing.
The pitcher, the full curve, oh, I've got an out of ball too.
All right, two ball, two strikes.
That's very much what right on Marist.
That's how it delivers, strike three, a big, small curve, and Marist is in the foul.
Well, Marist knows how that feels, because he's stuck him out the first inning.
Mickey is off the two, hitting three-twenty-seven.
Boy, this isn't a live sound today.
Oh, yes, rooting up the song.
All right, one of the first and second two now.
That was a bad little set.
Duret takes quite a while getting the sign.
Mano hitting right-handed against the left-hander.
There's a fast ball, low-end style, all-wise.
The owner of the Athletics, Charlie Findlay is here.
General Manager, Frank Wayne is here.
And Bowers waving his step down to his full ten to get somebody ready.
Such a... almost.
That was a full change of pace that was thinking.
He just seems to have some of the close stuff just to goof him up there.
He's got a good one, Kansas City.
Bowers has his full ten going.
Two out.
Arthur Deoh, the metal plane hit the top of the short, and it is knocked down.
A metal plane by Dr. Stop Hauser.
He was in front of the ball, and apparently it played him and hit him on the chest.
So the bases are loaded, and that's the now.
Dr. Hauser.
Mano gets on to the other short.
Duret moves to second, fourth and third.
He doesn't know what happened.
He's stuck out at war.
Bowers hitting 350.
That hand battle.
Now, Arthur, instead of being out of the inning, is still in it, even deeper.
Got one more on.
Now it's clean and falls back.
The guys leaden and threatening.
We had some showers.
It's a curtailed batting practice, and I've tipped the two teams of in-field practice.
Had to cover.
It seemed that started five minutes late.
Thereby, the second one tipped Elston.
There's a high foul out of play.
I guess we should say how to play by the ball players is very much in play by the folks in the stands.
And a lot of how they jump and dive.
The two-stack set, low outside ball one.
One ball, two strikes.
Now, one who caught the bulk of the All-Star game Monday.
Replace from Mano.
Richard hit for Mano as soon as he could.
And then with Maris, and so now it is.
Elston steps back.
A job by the Knights innings.
One ball, two strikes.
Two to one, Chancel City.
Three on.
Off to the fifth.
Left hand of Deals.
Enlist for the curve at the hands on the inside.
And it is 12-4-2, and this one hurt Archer.
He went all over the place.
He thought he was out of the inning.
Are you still in it?
It was a concerted holler from the athletic dugout because Tuff Weller looked over there.
The two-two pitch is a curve low inside ball three.
Two outs, three and two, three on.
Caparola is throwing three singles on his left, two on his right to everybody.
Three and two.
Back for the foul again and Howard steps out.
All right, Kelly's in.
Hobbs is ready.
DeLavaux.
So the line drive on the fourth and third run.
Howard comes in with a high one.
Two-bet comes in with the third run.
The ball comes to third base and now the mix is there.
Howard shows a first for the single and it is three-two New York.
So the one-run thing goes back and forth.
First it was one-on New York and then it was two-one Kansas City.
Now it is three-two to play for the Yankees.
They all give the Yankees an extra out.
Now I have Schellen.
He's the seventh man to come up here in the fifth inning.
He has off the two.
Fitting 271.
Howard gives him 43 RBI's.
So the Yankees now lead three-two.
Arthur goes to first base.
He will return.
Madeline third.
John with a high five all out to center field about to go back off.
He's waiting right in his track.
Has it?
So two runs, neither is earned on two hits.
One error, little big one.
And Fulton's at the end of five.
Three runs, six hits and one error for New York.
Two runs, two hits and one error for Kansas City.
Now Lady Ford will go out to the mile for the second time with a one-run advantage.
The service he can be used in today would be to pinch Ryan.
Gaffield is third.
Madeline Marisch.
Dario Lodegianni coaching at first base to Kansas City.
Jojo White at third.
And Harry Thickhouse with a short stop.
Right hand hitter.
Second man in the league on stolen bases led only by Aparicio.
Louis has got him by six.
Howard choking up on the bat.
Runs up.
That ball up to first base.
Ford feels it run to high and high and has it meet to the first.
He plays that ball midway between the mound and first base.
John left first base open going for it.
And Ford getting off the mound straining was able to grab it.
But Howard who can run had a half-step advantage on Whitey and beat him in the race.
Howard is a bunch of singles to put the time around at first base.
That's Madeline, the sixth inning.
Hit number three.
Houser's up there, 264.
Here is Cawsey hitting 311.
Looks about at the first of Baltimore.
Wayne Cawsey, one of the first Baltimore bonus players, bonus babies they used to call him.
He hit the two-run home run back to Scuback-Sherrod, housing the fourth inning.
Number Houser's with the touch of steel.
He's stolen 27 this year.
Cawsey, left hand hitter.
Takes the curve low, ball one.
On board, no strikes.
Gardner's up inside third looking for a bunt.
Cawsey swings in third on a curve ball up around the letters and a good one-and-one.
The wind is coming in from back of right field.
We have had no rain since the game started, but we have had a constant flood of rain.
Steady looking gray skies up above.
A breaking ball in on the hands, ball two, two-and-one.
Gardner at first, nobody out.
Well, Houser's with the touch of steel.
That's where it's considerably curtailed by the fact that Ford is...
The Mastry had the reds that started warming up Ford.
Well, Howard, who was on base, not in the last two runs, got the tools.
Adelston's up there.
We're ready to go.
Whitey on the mound.
Down at first base, Richardson at second.
Scubackers at short third basement.
It's Billy Gardner.
Boy, is out with a bruise right side.
The only service he can be used in today would be the pinch line.
Gaffer the serve, Madeline Marich.
Dario Lodegianni, coaching at first base for Kansas City.
Jojo White at third.
And Gary Dickhouse with the short stop, right-hand hitter.
Second man in the league on a solid basis, led only by Al Perifio.
Troy's got him by six.
Howard choking up on the bat, runs up, munch the ball up to that first base.
Dilton on the high and T, and Howard hits it to first.
He plays that ball midway between the mound and first base.
John left first base open going for it, and Ford getting off the mound straining was able to grab it.
But Howard, who could run, had a half-step advantage on Whitey and beat him in the race.
So it is a bunch single to put the time on at first base.
Dilton on the short stop, Madeline, in the sixth inning.
Hit number three.
Houser's up there, 264.
Harriet Crossey hitting 311.
This is about the first of Baltimore.
Wayne Crossey, one of the first Baltimore bonus players, bonus babies they used to call them.
He hit the two-run home run back at two-back zero on Houser in the fourth inning.
He's got the steal. He's stolen 27 this year.
Sawdust left hand hitter.
Takes the curve low, 4-1.
On board, no strikes.
Gardner's up in flat third looking for a bunch.
Crossey swings and third on a curve ball up around the letters, and it is 1-1.
The wind is coming in from back of right field.
We have had no rain since the game started, but we have had a constant threat of rain.
Dirty looking gray skies up above.
A breaking ball in on the hand, ball two, 2-1.
Runner up first, nobody out.
While Houser's at left field, that threat is considerably curtailed by the fact that the poet is pitching and you can't get a lead on it.
Nobody can.
He's got a swing on, hits the right field for a face hit.
There's now Gardner's way for third on the table, and Crossey holds it first with his second-stage safety.
So, runners are at first and third.
Nobody out.
Now we have left fielder Posada, Leo Posada, right hand batter, followed by Stephen and Lumpy.
2-2, 2-2, 2-2, 2-2, 2-2, 2-2, 2-2.
Stephen and Lumpy have the most hits on the long cloud, each having 106.
So, Wiley now has got one foot in the pickle bat.
It is 3-2, they were a four in the Yankees.
Athletics threatening right back, infield double play there.
There's a high-five ball out into left center field.
Now, Maddell is moving under it. There is Howser tagging a third. Here comes the throw, and it's cut off at the mound to keep the runner at first place, and it's a tied ball game.
That ball was plenty deep enough to get in and out, but we can move, it's not the first fly to the center fielder.
So, it's made for Gardner at the mound, cut the throw off, Maddell had it low enough where it could be cut off.
Here we are, 43-5, one down.
There is Norm Steven over two, one from the Yankees, two from Kansas City.
More D.O.'s low outside, all right.
One and off.
Speaking of coaches loaded, Gianna at first and White at third.
The pitchers low outside of breaking ball ball, too. When Bow was named manager replacing Joe Gordon, he retained the coaching staff.
The only change he made was the addition, he brought in Johnny Mize.
Trying to help some of his hitters.
And it was good to see Big John turn the dugout where the double-header started.
There's a curve ball popped up in the short right field. Richardson is on Rick.
How's it? Yeah, it's good.
I said to Mize, I said, it's good to see you back in our baseball uniform again.
Well, I guess I stayed out long enough.
Now we have Jerry Lumpy who is one for two, single his last trip.
He also works for the Yankees, Kansas City.
Three-three ball game, 26. Quick curve over for all-time.
One strike.
In the second game, it'll be Terry.
Went to the Yankees, Kansas City, then back to the Yankees again.
And Dipmar, the star of the Kansas City, came to the Yankees and now back to Kansas City.
Six, low inside.
One ball, one strike.
Runner at first, Wayne Causley.
Absolutely back into left on Lumpy.
Three-three tie.
Whitey Deale, curve low outside, ball two.
Good one.
Wow, standing over there in the distance, I got leaning against the manager's post.
Two-one-six, curve low outside, ball three.
Good one.
Two balls on strike.
They might play a running hit.
Whitey checking they do not.
They just take it at the curve for a second strike.
That's automatically on, three and two and two down.
Ford has perfected a move over the first base curve.
Nobody can just get a lead on him.
Six is one on the ground ball while the first base.
Cowan is up with it, goes over and makes the put-out unassisted.
And it is one-run, two-hit.
And at the end, five and a half innings first game, Kansas City three and New York three.
If your car had a glass carburetor, you could see Atlantic Imperial Gasoline washing away the harmful dirt deposits that build up on the carburetor's lower wall.
But since you can't see your carburetor work, we're going to do the next best thing and invite you to take Atlantic's clean carburetor test.
Find out now just how good this fine gasoline really is.
Here's how the test works.
Use 100 gallons of Atlantic Imperial, then ask for a receipt with each purchase.
If you're not satisfied that you're getting better performance from your car, just mail a receipt to the Atlantic Refining Company.
We'll refund the average difference in cost between 100 gallons of Atlantic Imperial and the same amount of regular gasoline.
Try Atlantic Imperial. It cleans your carburetor as you drive and keeps it clean.
Last off, the fixer ring, it'll be Serbs, Gardner, and Ford against the standard Jim Archer at an error costing two runs last game, the 3-3 ballgame.
That looks like a two ball on the outside and low on third one on it.
Third doubled in the second inning and took the first back in the fourth.
There's the third ball and he swings like two.
The Kansas City three runs tour, the Kansas City three runs one.
That's a deal. That was a knuckleball. That's something I've learned. Oh, you should see that one, John. Nice track out.
The fixer started out in trouble on 55.
Baltimore had him in the organization, but he never did pitch in the big time.
Baltimore had him in Miami at 59 and 60.
That's Billy Gardner who would go for one, just to the fifth. Swings it to five, foul, out of play alongside right field.
Archer ready.
There's a knuckleball on the outside. One and one. Oh, that one he threw to serve for the first time.
It was really hopped up. Moses coaching out first base, Mike Corsetti coaching his third.
This is one ballgame, a pitch inside ball too. Corsetti will not have to look into the dugout to get a sign.
He and the pitching coach, Johnny Stain, are running things now for Manigault.
There's a ground ball. Third base is up. The line up. All the way up.
The knock is committed to be out here. So game time, then he has to go be in civilian form.
Two, this is a fifth. Caught at the two run fifth inning. There by outside, ball one.
Mighty going for win number 20. Outside, ball two. If this game doesn't take too much out of forward,
pitches all up or strikes for the one. He should be pitching again, this rotation that Hoff suggested and that Ford acquiesced in.
He should be pitching one of the ballgames of the doubleheader Sunday against Minnesota.
Two swings with a curve ball, Mike Corsetti. Balls up around the shoulder. Two balls, two strikes. Two down.
Two and Whitey strikes out. Six strikes out for Archer, six for Whitey.
And the six innings total is 3-4-1 for Kansas City. 3-6-1 for New York.
They play down by Joe Papparella. Most of the first base up by Ed Runge to get him halfway between first and fourth.
Also another thing that Papparella was doing was he mostly yanked out on the playing field in a hurry.
And I noticed he said something to Bauer on half an inning back in the same thing to Corsetti.
And I think that what he told them both, told them all, that with this threatening weather this thing is going to matter,
for goodness sake, don't stop to pick any Davies. Much less eat him.
Now let's call for station identification.
At 1460 on the radio dial, you're tuned to Quality Modern, WOKO, Albany, New York.
Your station for complete New York Yankee baseball. It's three minutes after three.
There we go. In the seventh inning, John Johnson, Gil Pignatano, Bobbidil Drekker, and the pitchers.
The pitchers are the saver back. Four pitchers low. Ball one. Three-three ball game.
Dern Johnson, the ball, range your right hand hitter.
He was regarded as quite a power hitting prospect for the Yankees.
He went along with Zipmong and Bielka Bailey.
So sir, we're going side ball two.
Two balls, a strike.
Now it's a time.
By the deliverer, gets his golf ball good for a strike.
Just doesn't even inside.
Johnson hasn't been able to get his hitting squared around.
1-33.
Swings and has a line drive, but he's just a left center field.
And it is in the alley and through. That's the racer.
Johnson is always late at second and he won't stop there.
Malik comes up with the ball. Here comes his throw.
And Johnson comes in two-thirds for a triple.
And he comes in as Sandy.
Well, he got his batting takeout on that one.
That was a joke.
And a bad ball game when you open up an inning with a three-maga.
He had it hit right in the front.
This is hit number five, O'Flaherty.
And now it's got the Pignatano who is 0-2.
The infield has to move in hoping for a play on the runner in third.
3-3 Tom, Pignatano hitting 2-61.
O'Flaherty has it worked on that point.
This is a breaking ball too long, ball one.
On the ball and up front.
High outside, ball two.
And now hitting in the dugout, the third has ordered back to Dutty to move back.
East Bay is now about a step behind the baseline.
Slide forward, loaded to pitch 2-0.
Infield gone in, delivers low ball three.
Pignatano has refused to take these pitches, two of them very low.
All right, 3-0.
Now this is far from being an automatic strike set up.
Pignatano has looked at what manager Ballard may have on.
White is pushing well away.
Pitchers and Joe swings it to go right back to one basket pitcher.
Whitey holds it on the third, throws it to third.
Joe Pignatano is off.
One of these thank you ma'am.
Backs back at him.
And here is Bobby Del Grecco.
He's got five balls to left field.
Either one of which would have been deep enough to get intermanned from third.
Now we'll see.
They got Del Grecco from the Phillies, it's just as July for Covington.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Now Howard goes to the mound, they call in Billy Gardner.
And the discussion is of course of Covington's topics is being on the alert for a squeeze.
That has to be considered.
And now third base coach JoJo White comes down and talks to the hitter.
Now Gardner goes back over to play third base.
Moya's out with a bad tom.
He got hit on his Sunday.
He just tuned in.
Three, three, five.
And now there's Paparola talking to White and to Del Grecco saying break up this conversation.
So it looks really far up above.
First game with double header.
Now Cresetti is going out to the mound to talk to Whitey.
And he's bringing Howard in and there's Paparola now trying to break this one up.
Of course one of the responsibilities which can unpower Charles is the progress of a ballgame.
It has been stated that Johnny Sane would handle matters pertaining to pitches but I see that Cresetti is out there talking to Whitey.
Now Gene, let me see, wait a minute.
This is Gene Seaman.
Notfield are going down to third base to run for Dillon Johnson and they're going to deliberately walk Del Grecco.
That's kind of what Cresetti went out there to say they were going to do.
So Del Grecco is going to get a base on balls.
We have a pitch runner, Gene Seaman.
This is the fellow that used to be with the Red Sox.
Seaman is running for Johnson.
Ball three and here is ball four and Del Grecco is lost.
Now let's see, Hank Powell has managed first and third.
He's got his pitches putt coming up.
And let's see what move that Hank makes.
I believe he's going along with Archer.
He is.
This is Jim Archer.
So the runner is a question third.
And Ford is talking to Richardson.
I think they want the infield in double play depth.
But maybe they can't because of the stretch of this fellow makes iron squeeze.
That's right.
They're keeping third base from Gardner inside the bag and Skahn is right off first base.
And the second shortstop combination, they're halfway out.
Gene Seaman is at third.
Right at pitchers and Archer swings and hits it down to third base.
And Gardner comes to the plate and Seaman is hung up.
There's Howard running it back to third.
Gardner throws to Howard and Elston tags it out.
Howard is now at first and stuck it.
Looks it out.
There's a third base into the cup here.
Back to third base and back to the cup here.
So Archer on the field of score.
It's in third base.
Seaman is hung up.
It's still a 3-3 ball game.
And now we have Dick Howard for the shortstop.
So push to Montenby and beat it out 2-3 and the 6th inning he is 1-3.
By 2-1.
Remember the inning was for Gardner with a triple.
Now they've got third base open.
One is a first and second.
The Bullets on the scoreboard pitching tomorrow night.
Last time Kansas City's here to state in the field.
The Yankees daily for Kansas City's Shaw.
That's the ball you threw to the white box.
Bob Shaw the ball from Long Island.
Now the swings of a ground foul out of third base.
Double off, good back.
So Joe White kicking a kick on that third, the third base coach.
He's mad.
He's just as mad as going to go ahead and pull out in his nose.
Good.
You have your first time out tripling and all of a sudden you want to go out and then it's first and second.
I think what he was doubly mad about was Stephen was getting off third base and getting caught in that run-up.
All right, Ford led the pitch two strikes.
Now let me see there, it's almost whitey taking a look back at second.
He takes it.
All right, one hit, two men left.
And the four at the end of sixth and a half third game is tied.
What does a truck driver think about as you drive?
Well, a truck driver is a pretty good life.
These sights to see all the time?
Yeah, when you get back home after a long trip, they're waiting for you.
Your own car all ready to go.
Okay, lady, be my guest.
Gosh, I'm glad that car of mine is running right again.
Boy, remember how rough it used to idle?
The way it stalled?
That was a great day when Harry told me about Atlantic Imperial.
You know, it's the same thing that cleans your carburetor as you drive.
Yes, and keeps it clean.
Now my little buggy drives like a dream.
There's a man in a Winston exclusive.
And it's what makes Winston America's best.
I could figure it sure.
Okay, Rick.
Bill, let me ask you something.
I noticed that the third base torch was staring up the grass.
Do you think that Stevens overly committed himself to it now?
I don't know, Red.
As a rule, the manager says with runners on first and third and none of one out of the ball hits to the third base,
they can go in and break up the doubles way.
But they seemed a little upset, so maybe they had told them to stay there.
I don't know.
That's a good one, Penny.
The Richardson, two back and now that's a three-three ball game.
Well, that's a real talk of the town.
I mean, one hit to three, I bet.
That's a bunch to pick up outside, ball one.
That's a good one.
This one on there, they ball pass to the first base.
Stevens passes to the fifth and every.
Bobby slides in and kicks it for a base hit.
Bobby straight in, went all the way out.
That was just a shade late and breaking from the mound.
All right, three-three ball game.
Here's 20-2 back.
Two singles out of three at bat, hitting 290.
He was such a butt, took touches over, had it for a call strike.
Well, here's up inside third.
It is starting to rain, not too heavily, but it's raining, nevertheless.
He's lunch and out there, up for the ball, goes to first base, two back is out.
He's going to miss and want to cover it, but the back of the base are still bad.
One down after the seven.
That's foul outside third.
Picks for the second base, one down.
That's down to Jim Archadillo.
Low outside, breaking ball, ball one.
That's back into a double play on the first, Jimmy, walks in the third, and took out on the fifth.
One-one delivery, a knuckle ball, put on a miss, right there.
One and two.
He delivers and has a knuckle ball down into the first base from Steven.
Arch is over the first base plenty of time this time.
That's a big miss on our side of the mound, talking to Arch.
That's a big miss on the end.
That'll suck out of the first inning, get into a fourth and a third, and hit the ground ball at the fourth stop in the fifth, which the hour was committed.
That gave the Aggies an extra bat.
That's a big miss on the end of the first inning.
He delivers and it's high and tied ball three.
Most of the folks who are in the box state still staying out.
Let's tell you, it didn't rain that hard.
Those that are out and have on balls have got them open.
See nothing there. Knuckle ball is in there.
He was taking no chances.
It's three and one.
Three balls, one strike.
He works.
Oh, not so far into the hand and making things on it and the count goes four.
Three and two.
Three balls, two strikes.
This is going to third, two up.
And the Yankees fail to get a man over.
That's a big miss on the end of the first inning.
It's going to be a big miss on the end of the first inning.
What's the deal? What are you going to do?
We've got a brand new ball game.
Two innings, three, three going into the top of the eighth inning.
On the scoreboard in the American League, the angels, nothing in the Red Sox,
nothing at the end of five and a half.
Down to you against the lot.
Just one game going on now.
They're watching Chicago to Cubs lead 1-0 at the end of 5.
Willie against Hoppy Santo, Holman in the second.
Wayne...
Wayne Corsi, the batter, is...
curve ball is outside to the left hand, hit a ball once.
Corsi is 2 for 3, bounce the second, Holman with a man on his single right field.
Next pitch is over, strike one, one on one.
Corsi comes back with a slow curve, low and away.
Two balls, one strike.
On deck is Leo Posada.
He's holding left center field for Corsi, mandolin right center, serve and straight
away left.
Serve is popped in the air.
Tony Kubek, the shortstop, is right under it and makes the catch for the first out.
The righty gets rid of a mandolin, pretty dangerous to him.
Wayne Corsi brings up Leo Posada, struck out bounce the second, and a sacrifice fly
in the sixth inning.
3-3 ball game in the top of the eighth.
Another ball game to go after this one.
Righty hits the Posada's high ball once.
Joe Pamperello takes a look at the ball and puts it out of play, puts a new one in play.
Jack Norm Seaborn.
One ball, no strike.
On the A's left field.
Wind up by Whitey.
Serve is foul-tipped back of the plate, one-on-one.
All glanced off Elston Howard's leg.
Now the one-one delivery, third ball foul, back of the mezzanine.
Four two strikes.
All right, Whitey ready. Fastball, top foul going out of play down the right field line.
Now holds it one ball, two strikes.
Wow, nobody on.
Top of the eighth inning.
Kansas City three and the Yankees three.
Good to see Johnny Mize back in baseball.
New batting coach for the Kansas City Athletics.
Whitey's touch is a curve, pop foul back in the upper deck.
The big shot, as we used to call him, I feel, wearing uniform number 39.
Whitey ready again. Fastball is inside, two and two.
Kansas City managing in place of Ralph House today, and Kansas City will be managing through Sunday.
The two-two pitch curve foul back in the upper deck again.
Two strikes, wow.
Now the two-two pitch. Swing and a miss, strike three.
Fastball right on by, Posada that time.
Eight strikeouts for Whitey.
Brings up Norm Saban, bounce to second, struck out, popped to second.
You out, nobody on.
Whitey's curve is outside, ball one.
Whitey's eight strikeouts today, giving a season total of 156.
His previous time was 145 in one season.
Air is over, strike one, one, one.
Back in the upper deck, Jerry Lumpy.
Another curve, foul back in the upper deck.
One ball, two strikes.
No one on.
Whitey turning around now, looking back towards the outfield, hands on his hips.
Now Whitey checks his time from Howard.
Airs his one ball, two strikes head. Low outside, two and two.
Two balls, three strikes, two out. Three-three ball game in the top of the eighth.
Low again, ball three, three and two.
Howard now rubs up the ball while Paparello does throw a home plate.
Seeburn steps out of the bat as Fox. Whitey's taking a little extra time this inning.
Now the left-hander's ready. Here's the playoff pitch to Seeburn.
Still three and two on Seeburn. Whitey's throwing quite a few pitches for the last two hitters, but Shana and Seeburn keep calling them off.
And Whitey's taking a little too much time for Seeburn, so he has to time steps out.
Down on the back end.
Again the three-two pitch. Curve hit on the ground on the right side. Skye ran up with it. Flips to Ford covering in time for the out.
The A's get down in order in the top of the eighth inning. Nothing is crossed. The score at the end is seven and a half. The man's a city three and the Yankees three.
Here's Oscar Howard leading off against Jim Archer. Helly takes the curve in there, strike one, four.
Howard's drop out walk and then single with the bases loaded and two out in the fifth inning, a drive in, two runs.
He's batting three-fifty-two.
Watch his one-strike pitch. It's hit on the ground at third. Quasi. Bumps it down. He can't make a play.
Quasi played that ball to the side. He stepped to the side, reached his glove out, knocked it down, and couldn't make a play. It's an error. It drives to the third baseman.
Bill Scharren bounced the second, bounced the third, and flied to center. Three-three to score and the lead runners at first base.
Jim Archer steps off the rubber. Once again he's striking. This is low ball one on deck box third.
Outside ball two, Fred Barber tells us that Joe Paparola, the play down player, says that because of threatening weather, the second game was shot precisely 20 minutes after the first game has ended.
The sixth is Scharren. His low ball three, three and nothing.
Looks like they might be turning the lights on here at the stadium shortly. A three-nothing pitch is right in there, strike one of the most, three and one.
The third is Ferris with nobody out. She's been now playing in back of the runner at first. Short tie three, three and the last half of the eighth inning.
The college goes the ball is fouled back. Now it was running but Scharren fouled the pitch back and it's three and two now.
Now the stretch ready for the payoff pitch. How it goes, the ball is popped in the air to short right center. Stevens coming over from right field, under it makes the catch.
Stevens who took over for Darren Johnson. That's one away and here's Bob Sturr, third double left and then struck out twice. One away on deck Billy Gardner.
That's by Otter, picked the third, is outside Bob ready to lay down the bunt. This was too far away from him.
They've laid down a beautiful bunt the other day. He did out for the base then. Then the stretch. The pitch, ground foul outside of first, one and one.
Otter's got a pretty good school ball. He's been keeping it low and away from the right hand hitters.
He's headed to the one one pitch. He's hit on the ground a base hit up the middle. Now it's close to second base and holds up. Bob Sturr with that curve ball right on up the middle. His second base hit of the game.
The eighth pitch for the Yankees and it brings up Billy Gardner. Billy was hit by a pitch ball, bounce the third and then line up third base. Wayne Cawsey making a fine leaping catch as his line drops.
Lui Arroyo is on the bullpen, opening up for the Yankees. Bervitt first foul at a second with one out. Four side three three, Billy Gardner the batter. The stretch by Archer.
Pitch is outside ball one. Ackbauer now waving James Stephen Jinn in right field. He's got most of the outfield moved in a few steps.
It's going to be another charge for the shortstop. It is. It's second to the ball game. Now it's a perfect double play ball. Haser. Haser ball hit his step. He caught it as he saw the throw. He dropped it again.
time for 30. He's into a manager for the Yankees while Ralph Houch is getting his suspension out. Ackbauer is coming out to the mound. He's off with Archer and his spatcher and the infield.
He's in the second to the first. He's in the second to the first. He's in the third. He's in the fourth. Ford talking with Frank Cacetti. The A's have made three others in the ball. Game two of them here in the eighth inning.
The Yankees are in the third. Ball is out on the mound with Pignacano and Archer. He's been standing alongside. Whitey has bounced the second, singled and scored and then struck out.
The infields are broken up now. Whitey stepping in at the batter's box. And then Archer calls the third baseman Wayne Corsi over for another huddle.
The A's have to be on the alert for a possible squeeze run by Ford. The infield is pulled in. The outfield is being called in too. And now Archer will pick from a stretched position. So it's not to allow Howard to get too big a jump at third in the event, but a squeeze play is called for.
Here's a stretch by the left hander. A pitch to Whitey. Curve ball popped in the air off the third baseman. Two-match-a-match score. Now the Yankee 35-3.
So after all those huddles, here's Archer through a beautiful curve ball to Whitey. Whitey hit it off the end of the box. But when the infields drawn in, it landed on its end part of the infield.
But 24 enough to fall in there for a base hit, allowing Howard and third to score. Gardner moves to second. The Yankees now lead 5-3. One out.
Bobby Richardson, who is 2-4, doubling the single up there, takes the two ball lower ball one. So Whitey has led by the day at the plate. He's singled and scored in the fifth inning. He has singled and driven in two runs here in the bottom of the eighth to put his team in front by 3.
That's by Archer. Pitch fouled in front of the plate. It's a fail. Wait a minute. Caparola called it foul. Richardson did not run as the ball hit the end of his bat. Taking the count of jumped out, picked it up.
And then Caparola made the fouls time. Gardner was at third and Ford at second. Now they go back. One and one on Richardson.
Kubeck on deck.
Bobby is hit out in the center field. El Jeco right there. Makes the pass. That's two away. None of the runs scored by the Yankees will be earned in this inning. Tony Kubeck the batter. Tony is 2-3. Single right, single left bounce to second and sacrifice. Kubeck has driven in a run and scored a run.
Two off, two on, two in. Yankees lead by two by three here in the bottom of the eighth.
That's by Archer. Pitch to Kubeck. Swing and a miss strike one.
And the stretch. Pitch to Pitchfile outside of first strike two.
On deck, Roger Maris.
Ford leads off first. Gardner off second. This strike's pitch is within the air, the right side. Bobby the second baseman is calling for it.
Jerry makes the catch. For the Yankees in the bottom of the eighth, two runs on two hits, two Kansas City errors, two men left. The score at the end of eighth for them, the Yankees five and the A's three.
The scoreboard in the American League, the Red Sox two, the Angels nothing at the end of seven. Donahue against the Lots. Minnesota has Baltimore. Quineyter.
And Chicago with Cleveland, Quineyter has his Washington at Detroit. And then actually Philadelphia, Cincinnati for Quineyter, Pittsburgh against St. Louis tonight.
San Francisco at L.A. tonight and Milwaukee at Chicago for a fair. It's tied 1-1 at the end of sixth. Willie against Bobby. Sato, Holman in the second.
Whitey Ford has not come out of the Yankee dugout as yet. And here comes Whitey now.
For Kansas City in the top of the ninth, it'll be Jerry Lumpy. And then Gene Stevens due to be the batter and Joe Pignatown as the catcher.
We'll wait and see if we're going to have a pink hitter for Stevens who was a left-hand hitter.
Lumpy with call out on strike, singles and bounce to first base.
Haywood Sullivan, the big right-hand hitting catcher coming out on deck. And he'll be hitting for Gene Stevens.
And he's already running for his 20th win of the year.
Ready to go here in the top of the ninth inning.
Jerry Lumpy steps in at the batter's box.
Lumpy takes a strike for his first pitch right in there.
Wind up by Ford.
One and a miss, strike two.
There's a curve hit on the ground. Schall and the black team get it both underneath the club in the right field.
And a big hit for Lumpy.
That's the sixth hit of a whitey Ford.
That brings up Haywood Sullivan batting for Gene Stevens.
Sullivan batting 271. Has 11 doubles, 2 triples, 3 homers and 31 runs batted in.
Darren Johnson's got it in right field.
And now he's got the triple and reaches to the plate.
Here's the stretch by Ford. Hits the Sullivan. A curve high, ball one.
Lumpy now has two bases.
Stretched my way.
Hits the Sullivan. In there, strike one, called one-one. Billy Gardner guarding the left field line.
Schall and holding first against Lumpy.
There is the stretch.
Haywood Sullivan in a curve ball, way back there in the right field.
Ford Sullivan has 4th home of the year, gives him 33 runs batted.
And the ball game's tied up at 5-5.
And the batter is Joe Picknick-Kennel, who's off the 3.
Hits high, ball one.
Hits high, ball two, 2-0.
Two balls, no strike on the 8th catcher.
Hits, strike called. Picknick-Kennel fell away from the fastball, but it has a corner. 2-1.
2-1 curve. Hits the left field, down to the corner. Fair ball, not far from the wall. Picknick-Kennel's second curve, slow, not as fast.
That ball just narrowed, and he just hit the whole line.
The ball's the fence, and here comes Frank Cicetti. Cicetti is coming out to the mound.
Here is a nice hitting with the Yankees leading 5-3.
Frank's hitting Almert, and Picknick-Kennel doubles. And Cicetti is out on the mound, talking with Howard and Ford.
And Frank takes the ball from Whitey Ford.
And Louis Royale, the little left-hander, will be coming on.
Louis hops the fence, and the fans recognize him immediately as Whitey Ford leaves.
Whitey Ford will look like he was intent to pick up his flier's one of the year.
Going into the top of the ranks with a 2-1 lead.
After fixing 8-inning plus, didn't get anybody out here in the night. Ford has allowed 8-8 to see.
He's walked through, struck out 8, and has allowed 5 runs. Picknick-Kennel is second.
So Whitey's responsibility should he score.
Louis Royale will be coming on.
Louis making his 42nd up there into the air.
He's 1-7 and lost 3.
And a nice saving 21 ball game for the Yankees.
Whitey Ford walked only one man.
I said two before, but he walked just one and had one intense night.
With Bobby Del Greco in his 7th inning.
Royale will be pitching to Del Greco, who is strikes by the left, besides walking.
Picknick-Kennel is second with a double. There's nobody out.
Royale ready. Del Greco stepping into the batting spot.
Yankees will have to look for the possible sacrifice now.
With the score tied 5-5 and the top of the ninth, nobody out and the runner is second.
Gardner in his third. Gollins in his third.
Here's a stretch by Royale.
The pitch is in there, strike one, fall.
Royale's starting them off with a screwball.
Del Greco steps out of the box, looks down at JoJo White coaching his third, flashing a few signs.
Check the signs from Howard. Here's a stretch.
Pitch, Del Greco clears the mound, takes it low, one-on-one. That time he was ready to bunch.
Gollins was charging in from first base.
Hignazano leading off second.
Stretch by Royale.
Pitch, foul, back on the screen.
One ball, two strikes.
High-five ball game here on the top of the ninth, nobody out.
Oh, he's set. Pitch, he's in the air to short left field, the curve is coming in, he's under it.
Makes the catch. Three signs, Del Greco's flying to left.
Jim Archer is due to be the batter.
And here comes Archer, he's struck out twice and bounced into a field of strike.
Bounced at third base with a round third.
Archer batting right-handed, that's the end of the batter's box.
Royale goes back to the rosin bag.
Here's a stretch.
Pitch to Archer, outside ball one.
Rebecca's playing Archer over towards the hole.
Hignazano trying to move Hignazano back, Joe's got a pretty good lead at second.
Royale stretches.
Pitch is a base hit from upfield.
And it helps. They hold him up.
Dirk makes a beautiful throw to the plate, they had him, Dirk was playing yellow.
Joe's your white shot at the center and Hignazano then held him up.
And Archer rips a single between third and short, he hit that ball hard.
First hit off of Royale.
And a nice hit for the A's and now with runners at first and third and one out.
The fourth side, five-five, Dick Hauser is the batter.
Hauser has popped a short, reached down an error in score, beat out a bunch single in score,
and then was called out on strike.
Now the Yankee infield really has to be on the alert.
Hauser a very good batter and very sweet of foot.
He's very tough to double up on a ground ball.
The infield is in.
Hignazano at third, Archer at first.
Royale pitching from a stretch position.
Time is called.
Hauser steps back out of the batter's box to look down at white again.
Again a Royale set.
White wants to bring him into the true ball.
Now it walks halfway out to the mound to tell the Royale and the infield, look out for the squeeze.
Here's a stretch by Lloyd.
Here comes the runner. The ball is putted foul and back of the plate.
All Hauser had to do was putt that ball on the ground to anybody and Hignazano would have scored.
He was better than two-thirds of the way home when the ball reached on plate.
So ours at guest light, the squeeze was on, but Dick Hauser fouled the pitch off.
Normally a very good batter, but in a situation like this you're a little over-anxious.
We've got Arroyo, Stalin, and Gardner charging down his float.
Now snuffing in two on Hauser.
Here's a stretch.
The pitch strikes three-twenty.
Now going after a bad pitch.
Arroyo strikes out.
What's pitching by Louis Arroyo? And here's Wayne Cawsey.
That's the second halmed with a man on single right and top the short.
Still tied 5-5 with runners at first and third and two out.
Stretch by Arroyo. The pitch to Cawsey was fouled to place right wide.
One strike on Cawsey.
Two out and two on. Two in. Score tied 5-5.
Cawsey fouled that ball down off his right foot.
Now it's time to get set in the box.
The high-pitchers are tied to it first, Pignastano at second.
That is a 1-1 pitch. There it is. And it's hit on the ground.
Krubeck over second up with his steps on the ball to the out.
Krubeck played Cawsey perfectly.
It looked like the base hitter went right over the middle of the line
and right over second base, but Krubeck was there.
Well Louis Arroyo from Gardner does her job.
Forty-eight in the top of the ninth two runs on four base hits.
No Yankees errors and two men left.
And the score at the end of eight and a half innings.
Kansas City five and the Yankees five.
Awood Sullivan moves in to play first base for Kansas City.
Noam Siemen moves to left field from first base.
And Leo Posada moves from left field to right field.
And WOKO passes for station identification.
This is WOKO Albany, New York.
Roger, hit it with a double play.
Wark struck out and bounced to third.
Go outside five-five, bottom of the ninth.
Rogers, sixth on the third foul back of the plate strike one.
Rogers, next big fastball foul back of the upper deck strike two.
Nothing in two on Maris.
So why do you pull it cannot be the winning pitcher in this ballgame.
He was running for his 20th win of the year.
He can either be the losing pitcher.
Arroyo gets him out of a jam again.
This to Maris, curve outside, ball one.
This, right on curve, pocket into a center field and dropped in for Maris.
Maris with that ball right off the end of the bat.
Archer has made some real good pitches that have backed by it on the widey fourth in the eighth inning.
Widey hit off the end of the bat.
Here's Mickey Mantle.
Mickey is 0 for 4.
Struck out right, bounced to short, reached on an error.
The winning run at first base.
Nobody out.
Struck by Archer.
Hits the matto.
A wide time.
Fair ball.
Off the right field wall.
A ground rule double.
A fair reach shot and touch.
Well Mickey Mantle doubles Maris in third and with nobody else.
Archer with a ball.
Now it will be the bar and Arroyo will get an alley and take a walk.
Getting somebody ready in the Kansas City bullpen.
They're also moving the outfield in.
They know that a long fly will score the run.
But they're giving Howard an intentional pass.
Bill Scott is on deck.
Was there to follow.
I can see that they get that similar situation in Sunday's second game.
Yankees have the bases loaded, nobody out and Bill the score.
Here comes Hank Farr out and that will be all for Jim Archer.
Hank Farr coming out to the mound.
And we'll have a new pitcher for Kansas City.
Archer has picked a beautiful ball game.
He's a victim of a little jabby support on the in-field.
Not in this inning as Maris single and Mantle double when he walked out.
In the eighth inning the A's made two errors.
Two un-earned runs and in the fifth inning they made an error.
That led to a run.
Two un-earned.
So we'll have a new pitcher coming in for the A's.
Bill Scott will be the battle with the bases loaded, nobody out.
Bounce the second, bounce the third, fly to center and fly to right.
Jerry Stanley is coming on.
Another sinker ball pitcher, D. Lutz.
Stanley is making his 39th appearance of the year.
He's won one and lost four.
Six feet tall, 183 pounds from Vancouver, Washington.
And Archer leads.
Four of the five Yankee runs in this game have been un-earned against Jim Archer.
And that's the first time that Archer has not completed a game,
starting against the Yankees.
Diron is being called back.
And we'll have a ten-killer. The Yankees have Vera, Blanchard,
Ferguson, Alexander Tinkitter, and Yogi Berra is coming out.
And we see where Kansas City has come up with a duplicate glove.
That's the one the Baltimore Orioles have, one of those oversized backing gloves.
And Tinkitter is using it with Sally out of the mound.
Yogi coming up is batting 280.
At seven doubles, 13 homers, 41 runs, batted in.
The bases are loaded, nobody out. The outfield and the infield both being called way in.
So if Yogi hits a long fly ball, it'll be way over the outfield of his head.
Jerry Stanley with a short windup.
Now he doubles on it. This Yogi is a swing and a miss right front.
He has a good through ball and an equally good knuckle ball.
The water's brought to come in a relief. Bases loaded, nobody out.
Facing Yogi Berra.
Four-tide, five-five in the bottom of the ninth.
Sally again in the windup. It's the Yogi lower, one-on-one.
Now Greco is not too far behind second base. One-one pitch. A brown foul outside of first.
Yogi went after that second. That was dragging Lauren away. One ball, two strikes in there.
All three runners leading away. Sally into the windup.
The pitch is hot to the air. The third baseman is getting under it.
It's foul territory and he's got it for the out. Sally got better.
Four to a low and breaking pitch and Yogi pops his foul.
His box serve.
Serve doubled, struck out twice and single. He scored one.
The infield remains in and the outfield remains in.
One away and the bases still loaded.
Sally into the windup.
That's a serve. Lower and away, ball one. Taking a chance to scoop that one out of the dirt.
Again, Sally ready.
Big swing and a foul, tip back, strike one on the side. Sally is keeping that ball right down around their knees.
She doesn't want to get anything up. The batter can hit one up in the air a long way.
One to one serve. Windup. Pitch low and away, ball two, two and one.
Johnny Blankett is on deck.
Ready to swing a bat for Billy Gardner if he's needed.
Here's a two one pitch. Low ball three, three and one.
Now Sally's got to come in here.
Three and one pitch with one out and the bases loaded.
Windup by Sally. The pitch. A ground ball to
the right of the bat.
The Yankees win the ballgame.
Roger Maritz scores the third base.
The Yankees win the ballgame 6-5 on the error by Big McTano.
Billy picked great ball. He had Yogi pop one up and then serve it and slow ground to the third.
But the big catch as well gave Big McTano trouble. So that's the first ballgame.
6-5 the totals in the game for the Yankees. Six runs, 11 hits, one error.
World man left on base for the Kansas City Yankees.
5 on time, 4 on. Six man left on base.
