And today's second game will be underway in just a moment.
It's about time you got here. You can't lay another foot in track until we unload your flat cards.
Help yourself. And there's a mail pouch for you back in the caboose.
Oh, that'll have my tobacco in it.
Hank, tell the men I got some real fine leaf tobacco for chewing.
It came in the mail pouch. the men wanted a share lined up in the caboose.
You others, get these barrels of spice off the flat top.
the story of a great American tradition. Mail pouch chewing tobacco.
Mail pouch was America's first brand of leaf tobacco.
And it's been pleasing men ever since.
That's because mail pouch has its own special one-of-a-kind flavor
that comes from over 90 years' experience in giving tobacco chewers what they want.
A clean, fresh taste that's not too strong, but it can taste sweet either.
A flavor that really lasts and satisfies a man all day long.
So if you haven't tried mail pouch lately, chew a few packs and taste the mail pouch difference.
You'll see why it's become a tradition to chew mail pouch and treat yourself to the best.

He's now 0 for 5 in the series. John hitting at

Wind up by the right-hander and the pitch and Grubb swings and misses strike one
May vary at first McKay at second Johnson at short howled at third and outfield of Upshaw
Busetti and the right fielder is Hutton and the pitch to Grubb is a strike of an ease strike two
Jesse Jefferson with a good fastball. He's pretty much over the top and he has one of the better fastballs on this ballclub
Also pretty good overhand curve, which occasionally are total controlling pitch to Grubb fastball low one ball two strikes
Look for the sign by the right-hander Jesse Jefferson
And the pitch to Grubb hits a foul fly out of play to the left to the counter still one and two

the catcher is Alexander and on the mound Dave Friesleben
Right hander looks in, Bosette with a strike one count having fouled off the first pitch
Wind up, 0-1 pitch, Bosette looks like he was going to bop and took a strike, strike two
Friesleben ready to work again
Right hander deals, Bosette slaps another foul, out of play to the right of the counter, field, strike two
Indians are now back within a game of the Detroit Tigers
Ending the outcome of the second game here and in New York
Pitch to Bosette, high fly ball to right field
Norris waiting under it, makes the catch, one out
Dave Friesleben gets his first American League out
And his earned run average drops from infinity to 135
Seems funny
No
Willie Upshaw left hand batter hitting 274.1 over 11 RBI's
Upshaw ran in the first game, he is 0-4 in the series
Wind up by Friesleben on the pitch to the left hand batter, strike one of the knees
Friesleben gets the sign from Alexander, winds up with a strike, one pitch to the left hand batter, nine outside, one ball, one strike
Next pitch, low fast ball, and the count is two and one
Roy Howell, the third baseman on deck
No score on the home half of the first inning, the second game
Pitch to Willie, right high, three balls of a strike, Upshaw at 274
Harry Warner coaching at third, Jackie Moore on the first base side
3-1 pitch, bouncing ball up the middle, Kiefer the second baseman has it, throws the first, he is out, two down
Two away on the first inning of play, Roy Howell, third baseman, hitting at 291
Howell with four homers and 40 RBI's, one for nine in the series with a run bad in, three runs scored and he went 0-3 in the first game
It is a long day for the Chicago Cubs, Phillies now leading 6-0 in the fourth inning of play
Here's the pitch, Howell takes low and inside, ball one, it did but it stopped
That's where things went wrong
Pitch, Howell takes the fast ball low and the count is two and 0
Friesleben's earned run average has now dropped to 67.47, not bad for two thirds of an inning of work
Dave looks in and gets the sign, wind up and the pitch, Howell wraps it down to the first baseman
Grabs five Thornton runs to the bag, three up, three down, no runs, no hits, no errors
And Friesleben's earned run average is 45 and going down, which is good news

Top half of the second inning, Alexander Thornton and Carbo will test right-hander Jesse Jefferson
Alexander had the game winner in the first game when he slugged his 16th home run of the year on the second inning with nobody on it, with one for four
That is now four for twelve in the series with that home run and three runs scored
Gary is hitting 231, 16 homers and 40 RBIs
Alexander with three game winning hits for the Indians in the course of a week
Gary however with the two strikeouts in the first game has spanned 83 times in 76 games
That pace however not as fast with the Tribe as it was with Oakland
Jefferson looking in, here's the first pitch to Alexander, a fastball strike of an ease, strike one
White Sox hung on to beat Minnesota, the first of a doubleheader, eight to five
the pitch is a strike again of an ease, strike two
Jefferson looks in
That winds up the O2 pitch to Alex, swing and a miss, bucks him out
First strikeout for Jesse Jefferson, he has now worked 105 and two-thirds innings, that was his 44th strikeout, he's walked 42
He has worked more innings than any other member of the Blue Jays
He's one start against Cleveland, they knocked him out on a sixth inning
Andre Thornton the first baseman, Andre won for twelve in the series after going 0 for 4 in the first game
Popped the fly ball into short left center, they're converging on it and Bosetti makes the grab, two out
Andy came into the second game hitting 260 with 12 homers and 41 RBIs
And with two away and nobody on, Bernie Carbo will be the batter left hand batting VH
Bernie won for three in the first game, a double to the ninth, he is now hitting a 271, one homer and eight runs batted in
Bernie had a walk with the bases loaded the other day for an RBI
Here's the 1-0 pitch, fastball though, ball two
Jefferson starting out as though he is going to be very, very tough
He's coming off a couple of pretty good wins
Wind up, 2-0 pitch, Carbo takes outside, ball three
Wind up on the 3-0 pitch to Bernie, that's high, ball four, he walked Carbo on four pitches
And that will bring to bat Buddy Bell the third baseman, Buddy making his first appearance in a week
Singled once in four trips in the first game, his batting average is 310
Bell has three homers and 30 runs batted in
Right hand batting third baseman, Dwayne Kuyper on deck
A stretch by Jefferson, pitch to Buddy, Bell wraps it down the third base line, grabbed by Howell behind the bag, long throw
He's in time with the toss to retire the sun
Now runs, no hits, a walk and a man left, and at the end of an inning and a half it is Cleveland nothing, Toronto nothing
And it's the other way around, no matter what you do, no matter when or where
You know a glass of blood is like an easy chair when you visit Bird's Bay
Hey, that's right, nothing goes with that special time, you call yours like the clean, fresh taste of Budweiser
When you visit Bird's Bay, you stay with all and either voice things away
Well they're close to the pitchers for the second game at Minnesota, Ron Schuller will be pitching for the Chicago White Sox
Darrell Jackson will be pitching for the Minnesota Twins
Gene Mark had a few more gray hairs obviously in that first game and the Twins committed five errors in losing to the White Sox 8-5
Here's Rico Cardi in the home half of the second inning, right hand batter, Rico the DH in the first game was 0-3 with a walk
He is now hitting 2-89
Cardi with 11 homers and 44 RBIs in the first pitch, his low ball
Dave Friesleben put him away 1-2-3 in the tie up in the home half of the first inning
1-0 pitch to Cardi, Rico swings and follows it back out of play and the count is even at 1-1
John Mayberry and Tommy Hutton to follow
Kansas City and Oakland playing the first of two in Oakland, no score at the end of three, Gora against Langford
Wind up by Friesleben, pitch to Rico, low and inside, two balls and a strike
Indians won the first game today, 2-0, combined three hitter for Waits and Kern, Kern came on to get the final out
2-1 pitch, Rico swings and a miss, two balls, two strikes
Alexander hit his 16th home run in the first game and Rick Manning doubled in the other run
Friesleben ready with a 2-2 pitch, takes a long look
and the 2-2 offering to Rico slaps it back to Kiper on the bounce, Dwayne picks it up, throws the first one out of the second inning
John Mayberry, the first baseman, was a pinch hitter, he flied to left field to end the ball game
and was his only at bat in the first game, he's now two for five in the series but he's walked three times
Big John hitting 2-57, with 13 homers and 42 runs batted in
Look at Kiper, he is back in right field, he is playing short right field
Flanks with that three man shift, looks like the way out of man in a softball game, that's right
Bell playing well back at third might prompt Mayberry to try and bunt, he doesn't look like it, takes the first pitch, a curve strike one
Tommy Hutton on deck
Friesleben ready
Pitch, Mayberry takes low and outside
One ball, one strike
Boy are they having a wild one in Atlanta today, pitch, swing and a miss, pulled the string and the count is 1-2
Giants came up with three runs in the top of the seventh to take a 7-5 lead and Atlanta just came back with four more to take a 9-7 lead at the end of the 7th inning to play
Friesleben giving the Giants fits
Friesleben cranks up the 1-2 pitch to Mayberry, head high fastball, two balls, two strikes
No score second in any second game
the pitch Mayberry bounces one off his foot, goes to blanks the shortstop but it is a foul ball and Mayberry doing some hobbling at home plate
Milwaukee going for a sweep at Seattle sends Caldwell to the mound this afternoon, he will be opposed by Dick Pohl
Mayberry back in after giving a little exercise to that bruised foot, 2-2 pitch, low and outside, full count of 3-2
Indians play Mayberry around to the right side and the right fielder Norris is within two steps of the warning path, here comes the payoff pitch to Mayberry, high pop fly ball, center field, Manning cruising over to straight away center and makes the catch
Two outs for the second inning
Brings out Tommy Hutton the right fielder, Tommy hitting 2-48, two homers, eight runs batted in, 0-2 in the series with one run scored
Indians come home after the second game here today and will be in Cleveland tomorrow night for a family night game at 7-35 and the big fireworks Fourth of July contest at 7-35 on Tuesday
Baltimore rained out today in their game with Boston
Wind up by the right hander and the pitch to Hutton, low ball one
Tommy previously with the Phillies and Friesleben with the Padres so they probably have faced each other a time or two
1-0 pitch, there's a pop up out over the mound, coming on behind the mound is Buddy Bell, makes the grab in the air and the side is retired 1-2-3
At the end of two innings of play, Cleveland nothing, Gerardo nothing

Another final score in the first of two at Montreal is St. Louis Cardinals with that 4 run 6 thinning
Used it to hold off the Montreal Expos 5-4 Vukovic gets the win
Buddy Schultz picks up his fourth save
Took two hours and 40 minutes for the Cardinals to win and they have now won five out of their last six ball games
And as I say that is the first of a doubleheader
This is the second game of the doubleheader in Toronto and the Indians won the first game 2-0
Rick Waits and Jim Kern combining on a three-hit shutout
Dwayne Kuiper will lead it off in the third inning for the Cleveland Indians
Kuiper a left hand batter, Dwayne in the first game went one for three
He's hitting 2-59
No homers, 17 RBIs and he is 4-4-11 in the series
Pitch to Dwayne, low ball one
Manning extended that hitting streak of his in the first game to eight games in a row
Kuiper's now hit safely in 14 of his last 16 games
First ball strike for the knees, one ball one strike
Kuiper blanks and the top of the order Norris
Jesse Jefferson the right hander wheels and deals and Kuiper slaps a little looper on into left field
That's going to drop for a base hit
Kuiper's singles and the Indians have a man on leading off here in the third inning of play
Kuiper obviously in the good groove now as he will tell you
the base hits come, they come that way on drives into left field
and that time he swung nicely and served the ball into left field for a single
That'll bring on Larvell Blanks, Larvell set out the opener
He's hitting 2-22 with 12 runs batted in
Blanks is 0-1 in this series but he does have a run batted in and a sacrifice fly
Number nine man in the tribe order and they're looking for the bunt
Stretch, Blanks to bunt, does out in front of the plate
Ashby out, bounces in the ball, double pump throw to first and they just got him
I don't know about that, here comes the argument
Boy oh boy that was, well, close enough to warrant the argument that is now going on
Second baseman, the K was late getting there, Ashby had the ball but no place to throw it
the sacrifice for Blanks, Jeff Torborg and Rocky Calabito
have both chewed on the ear of the first base umpire Larry McCoy obviously to no avail
That's going to bring on Jimmy Norris, Norris had a fly ball to center field in the first inning
Runner at second base and one out
Stretch to bunt
Stretch by Jefferson and the pitch to Norris, Jim takes a fast ball, strike one
No score in the top of the third, the Indians have a runner at second base and one out
Stretch in the pitch, fast ball outside, one ball one strike
Kiper at second base, looking for the sign by Jesse Jefferson
Here's the stretch, one one pitch, Norris hits a looper foul to the left into the seats, one ball two strikes
Top of the third, the game is scoreless, Indians won the opener two to nothing behind Waits and Kern
Waits now six and eight, an earned run average of 2.34 and Kern picks up his seventh save of the year
Looking for the sign, a stretch by Jefferson, one two pitch, Norris takes strike three
He fired the fast ball right through the middle, Norris watched it go by
Second strike out for Jefferson and it'll bring on Rick Manning, Manning bounce to the second baseman in the first inning
Kiper still at second base but now with two outs
Manning ending 2.61
Kiper with his lead at second, a stretch by Jefferson and the pitch to Manning
Rick takes way outside, Ashby diving to his knees to the left to flag it down, one and all to count
Johnny Grubb on deck
Jefferson the stretch looks back to Kiper, one oh pitch to Manning, Rick hits a very high pop up
Third baseman Howell waiting right next to the bag, goes back a step and makes the catch to retire the sign
So in the third inning of play it is no runs and a hit with a man left at second base
And at the end of two and one half innings of play, Cleveland nothing, Toronto nothing

Mark Wiley who had a brief fling with the Minnesota Twins back in 75
got a start last night in that second game in San Diego and did very well
He had relief help from Dennis Kinney
Dave McKay left hand batter
McKay in the first game with 0-3 is now 0-9 in the series with four strikeouts
Dave Friesleben looks him over
McKay hitting 251, here's the pitch to him, curve high ball one
McKay has one homer and 22 runs batted in for the year
lined up on the pitch, slapped on the ground into right field of ace hit
McKay grounds a single into right field
That is the first hit off Friesleben and it will bring up Al Ashby the switch hitting catcher
the catcher number eight, Allen Ashby
Allen Ashby hitting 211, two homers, seven runs batted in, 0-3 in the series, he caught in Friday night's game
Al from the left side 210, from the right side 222, both of his homers as a lefty
Pops the butt up behind the plate and Alexander turns, gallops back after a late start and made the catch
Ashby pretty good play of that because the ball was butted, he started out in the direction of fair territory
Didn't know where the ball was, somebody else turned around and got back in a hurry
Ashby trying to sacrifice, pops foul and out to the catcher
the shortstop, the shortstop, Johnson has been in two games but this will be his first at bat in the series
He's hitting 200 with one run batted in, hitting 219 with Toronto with that RBI
Started the year with Milwaukee and came over to the Blue Jays in a trade for Tim Nordbrook
Then Nordbrook got to Milwaukee and the very first game that he played he injured his knee, pitch low ball one
And he is probably out for the year, nerve damage I believe
Friesleben working with one out and one on in the third inning
Stretched by Dave and the pitch, outside and high, ball two to an O
In field of Thornton, Kuyper, Lanks and Bell
And outfield left to right of Rub Manning and Norris
Alexander catching both ends of the double dip
And Friesleben on the mound, throw to first base and back to the bag goes McKay
And a dandy pitchers duel in the first game, Weitz and Lemantjic with Kern helping in the ninth
Indians win a two-zip, there goes the runner, the ball is slapped up in the air to center field base hit
McKay turns second, digging for third, here comes the throw over, not in time
And the Blue Jays, the runners are first to the third with one out
Well he had them going and it paid off
Second hit off Friesleben and it will bring up the top of the order, Rick Forsetti
Forsetti at a fly ball to right field in the first inning
Rick Forsetti
the stretch by the right-hander, runners on the corners against him and the first pitch Forsetti reaches out and pokes a foul
Back out of play, strike one, Michael Suggie our traveling secretary arriving in the booth, physical ticket
Where are we, when are we leaving, when are we arriving more importantly, when would you guess, about 9.50?
Better you give us a time that'll be, no, you know, how long after the game did we get?
Pitch flowing inside, one on one, you'll come back and give us an estimate
One ball and one strike
Two on and one out here on the third, Friesleben, the stretch, Dave Throws, Forsetti stops his swinging time on the count of two and one
Pitch was outside
McKay singled her right, Ashby bowled out trying to bunt and Johnson slapped a single with the runner going and now the Blue Jays have runners at first and third
One out, stretch by Friesleben and the pitch, outside again, ball three, three and one
Friesleben is going to take a little hike around the mound
One out top of the order, Busetti at bat with Upshaw due to batting eggs
Stretch by Friesleben and the three one pitch, Busetti line drive, left field solid hit, windage score from McKay
Now the second base goes Johnson and it's a one to nothing Toronto lead
the scoreboard's running to the mound and they're calling to the bullpen for a left hander
Don Hood running down out of the Indian dugout
Don Hood is going to be up and throwing
That is Busetti's 23rd RBI of the year
First run and third hit off Friesleben
Left fielder number 26, Willie Upshaw, Willie Upshaw bounce to the second baseman in the first inning
Look for the sign by Friesleben, two on against him and one out, pitch to Upshaw, low ball one
A stretch, Friesleben checks the runner at second, one oh pitch, curve ball high, ball two, two and oh
Looks like Dave's just having trouble with that breaking pitch, he can't get that curve ball down, just can't really get through it
the pitch hit hard, Thornton backhands the ball, going to go out to second base for the play at second
On Busetti, over to third base goes Johnson, nice play by Andy Thornton, definitely, good play
Three-six on the put out of Busetti for the second out of the inning
Upshaw at first base for the fielder's choice and will move Johnson to third
McRoy Howell, Howell bounce to the first baseman unassisted

Makes the catch and the side is retired, Sunday Friesleben with some good defense behind him
Gets out of a jam with only one run scoring, one run on three hits with two men left
And at the end of three innings of play it is Toronto 1, Cleveland nothing

Well a giant ran a foul of Atlanta again today
Down in Atlanta in two hours and fourteen minutes
Atlanta outscored San Francisco 9-7 with Phil Necrow over Randy Moffitt
Who is in relief of Vita Blue who was really pounded around today by the Atlanta Braves
Meanwhile the Tigers and the Yankees are scoreless after two innings of their second game
the Yankees won the first game 3-2
Oakland has taken a 1-0 lead on Kansas City at the end of 4
Gora against Langford here is inning number 4 and hurts score
Thank you Joe, the Indians for the first time in this ball game on this day
Actually find themselves trailing 1-0
For the Indians Grubb Alexander Thornton will see what they can do with Jesse Jefferson
Right hand winds it up here's his first pitch
He's swinging a miss on the slider down at the knees strike one
Johnny Grubb has fouled to the catcher his only time up in this game
Drive down the left field line slicing foul at a play strike two
Johnny Grubb in the first game of this double header went 0-4
Line up by Jefferson the pitch is a slider down too low
All one strike two
Outfield straight away Jefferson with that good overhand fastball
Slider's been pretty effective
Bouncing ball second base side McKay gets the big bounce
Fires he gets Grubb at first
One up one down inning number 4
Gary Alexander the batter Gary gave the Indians their first run
the one they really only one they needed in the first game
With a home run into the left field seat his 16th of the year
First time up in this game he went swinging
He's been one-one pitch foul back over the screen at a play ball one strike two
the Indians will be home Monday and Tuesday night against Baltimore
They take a short journey to Detroit for two games
And then next weekend Friday Saturday Sunday the Boston Red Sox
Carl Justemsky Jimmy Rice Freddie Leonard grouped in town
Inside Iowa the fastball it's two and two
Friday night Indians take on the Red Sox
Saturday is a twine night double header starting at 5.35
And then Sunday is bat day
Swing and a miss strike three fastball down on the knees
Two up two down on the fourth inning for the Indians

Here's Andre Thornton Andre has been held in check pretty much in this series by the Blue Jays
First game he was 0 for 4 he's 0 for 1 in this one
1 for 12 overall
About time for him to break loose
Good storm has popped up first base side foul over near the dugout is John Mayberry
He leans on top of the dugout can't get it
Big John had that long reach and he had the glove extended on top of the dugout
And back about a foot but just couldn't reach that ball
Herb with that yellow line running in front of the dugout is that one of those safety lines?
I think that if you I think as I'm sure the ground rules that he can't run in there and catch the ball
He has to remain outside that line he can lean over it
Can't go in there
There's no dugout here per se it's a shelter but it's not dug down
Fastball up too high of all one
Friday night at the stadium we talked about the Red Sox coming in it's a poster night
Fans receive a poster coming into the ballpark
Fastball down around the knees
One ball two strikes Jesse Jefferson really popping that ball
One ball two strikes two men gone fourth inning Indians trail one nothing
High pop third base side foul territory howl in the coaching box third base and waits he makes the grab
Jesse Jefferson has retired the last six men in a row three up three down on the fourth inning
We go to the last half of the fourth inning to score
Toronto one Cleveland is nothing
Here's some great news for people who like to know they've made a smart buy
At 50 Dodgers and Trumper we've got the Spanish 1978 Dutch diplomat who's at $47.95
That's right a resilient diplomat not $57,000 that's $47.95
Diplomatically speaking not a smart buy
They've said instead of shoveling your board think out of mind changer
the new favorite diplomat is at $47.95
He is earned at Spitzerland a Colombian tradition at 5100 East Main Street
National Lamppost presents Pro-Pax
Authentic, documented, we kid you not
Strictly on the up and up, verified, absolutely the real thing
Honest to goodness, unadulterated
And now let's return to yours
Monday through Friday nights at 11.55
Right here on 3WJ Mellow Rock 103
Last half of the fourth inning Blue Jays one Indians nothing
Blue Jays will be coming along with Rico Cardi, John Mayberry
And then Tommy Hutton, Dave Friesleven on the mound for the Indians
He gave up Iran two hits last inning
Incidentally tomorrow night the Indians will have their autograph booth open 615 to 645
That's down in the concourse of the Indian section 11
And the autograph booth will be Ted Cox and David Clive at 615 to 645 tomorrow night Family Night at Cotedia
Here's Rico, first time up a bouncing ball to the second baseman
Rico's batting average 288
Dave Friesleven making his second start for the Indians
Right hander winds it up and he throws
Fast ball over the inside part of the plate waist high strike
Wind up and the pitch
Ground ball shortstop side, LaVelle has it
Takes a couple of steps, fires across and Rico is retired
6-3 on the out, one man down fourth inning
Big John Mayberry flying to center field his first time up
He's a pinch hitter in the ninth inning with two men out, two men on for the Blue Jays
Kern came on the pitch and he's flying out the center
Actually it's a left center court by Johnny Grubbs
Buddy Bell goes to mound, he's going to have a little chat with Dave Friesleven
They put the infield shift on, it's almost an outfield shift because the shortstop and second baseman are both in the outfield and both on the right side
It would appear all things going well, the Indians will be home between 9.45 and 10 o'clock tonight
Friesleven starts his wind up then stops as it flips on the pitching rubber
Indian traveling kicker Mike Stig, he just came back to tell us that
Indian shot apply, he won't arrive until 8.30 so he thinks the earliest they can leave is 9 o'clock
That means he'll get home by 9.50
There's a strike at the knees, strike one
Time call, Jeff Torbog asking umpire Phillips for permission to go out and see Friesleven
He may have twisted his foot when he stopped that wind up a while ago, got a caught on the front part of the pitching rubber
So Jeff Torbog talking with him and also Dave Phillips there to see what's going on
Count on Mayberry to strike one
Umpire Phillips also talking with Friesleven
And while we wait for that conference to break up, let's pause for station identification
This is the Cleveland Indian Baseball Network
This is 3WJ, central Ohio home and the Cleveland Cavaliers flams an Indian
WWWJ Johnstown
Friesleven ready to go, he says his foot is alright
One strike, wind up and the pitch
Curve ball breaks down too low, ball one and a strike
Friesleven doesn't like the ball he gets, he wants another one
On deck is Tommy Hutton
Friesleven has given up three hits in a run, they all came in that third inning
Indians against Jesse Jefferson, they've had just one hit
Ground ball sharply hits the right side in the center fielder base hit
Well you know he hit it hard because they had Blanks, Thornton and Kiper all on the right side
And both Blanks and Kiper were about 15 feet into what would be the outfield
And either one of them could get to it and drove in between them
Mayberry gets to hit the fourth for Toronto, here's Tommy Hutton
Tommy pops up to the third baseman is all he's got left hand battered, did not play in the first game
Outfield is playing them straight away
Friesleven checks the right throws, fast ball is a bit outside
Ball one, Friesleven looking in, he thought he might have had a strike
Dave McKay is on deck
the pitch, glider over the outside, thought he'd hit the strike, one on one
On deck, McKay he's got three of those lead donuts up on the barrel of the bat
One ball and a strike, down two low, two balls and a strike
Ball two one strike, Tommy Hutton slightly closed stance, he's pretty well spread out
Mayberry at first, Thornton not holding against him
There he goes, pitch to the pitch out, throw to second base and there you have him
Tag applied by Larville Blanks and on the pitch the batter Hutton threw the bat at the ball
the pitch out, he had no way to reach the ball so he just flipped the bat at it and that'll be a strike
Two six on the court stealing, two men down on the fourth inning
And Tommy Hutton with a count of two balls, two strikes
He had the hit and run on and the Indians figured that one out perfectly
Curve ball breaks inside, three and two
Say the Indians guessed right on that but it's an educated guess because what they do, they really try to pick up the opposing team's signs and sometimes they get them
Fast ball missed outside, ball four, Hutton takes the walk, two men out
First walk in the game allowed by Fraz Levin and here's the second baseman Dave McKay
We've got a week from today is that day at the stadium
Very fine little league out of Rondak-Fats will be giving away to all Indian young kids
Indian fans 14 under coming into the stadium that day with the exception of those that come through the bleachers
Final ball cuts the left out of play
Sundays bat day game time 2.05
Red Sox currently leading Milwaukee by seven games in the Eastern Division
They're walking in second place, New York and Baltimore follow
One strike pitch, a pitch out and they have him trapped between second and first and second throw and he is out
the funny thing about that, he was not going on the pitch, it was a delayed steal
And Hutton took about three steps and stopped about, oh I'd say 15 feet off the bag at first and he just let it out, go anyway
And Gary Alexander fired down the second base and they apply the tag
Laudel Blank tags him out and so Gary Alexander nailed two base runners in the fourth inning
Boudre's no runs, on a hit, no errors and nobody left and the four score, Toronto one, Cleveland nothing
Whoa, get around folks, get around
Like Messine says, it's Trader John's Traveling Emporium, the general store on wheels
Trader John's wagon has everything and the best of everything, just smell this soap little lady
And for you sir, hand pools, hand guns and the finest fresh chewing tobacco, that'll be Male Pouch Chewing Tobacco
the story of a great American tradition, Male Pouch Chewing Tobacco, Male Pouch was America's first brand of leaf tobacco
And it's been pleasing men ever since, that's because Male Pouch has its own special one of a kind flavor
That comes from over 90 years experience in giving tobacco chewers what they want, a clean fresh taste
That's not too strong, but isn't too sweet either, a flavor that really lasts and satisfies a man all day long
So if you haven't tried Male Pouch lately, chew a few packs and taste the Male Pouch difference
You'll see why it's become a tradition to chew Male Pouch and treat yourself to the best
Indians and the Blue Jays, second game of the double header, the Indians took the first one 2 to nothing behind Rick Waite
With the last out help from Jim Kern and in this one, the Indians trail 1 to nothing
First 4 innings total for the Blue Jays, a run on 4 hits, they have played errorless ball, they've left 2 men on base
the Indians no runs on 1 hit, and they've left 2 and have played errorless ball
Bernie Carbo, Buddy Bell and Dwayne Kipe are coming along against Jesse Jefferson
He picks up that stack of rosin, gives it a working over, drops it down
Carbo walked his only time up
271 batting average, left hand batter, big slow curve, stays high, ball 1
Jefferson goes to the wind up, fast ball is outside and high 2 and 0
Right to left center field, that's going to go for base hit, over to cover off his upshot, gets by him all the way to the wall
In the second base goes Bernie Carbo, his second double of the afternoon, he had one in the first game
Fully upshot, tried to cut the ball off and it took a bounce right by him
Well the Indians were the runner at second, nobody out in the fifth inning, their second hit of the game
And the batter, Buddy Bell, Buddy wrapped the ground, I beg your pardon, it is Buddy
Buddy wrapped the ground ball to the third baseman, first time up
In the first game, Buddy had a base hit 4 times, Buddy playing his first games in a week
He hasn't played since last Sunday, had some spazzums in his back
Jefferson toes, the curve is high and inside the ball
Jesse Jefferson, gives a look to the runner at second, fast ball inside, 2 and 0
Indians trail 1 to nothing, but they are threatening
Jefferson checks and throws, inside, way inside, 3 and 0
Dwayne Kipe is on deck, he had a base hit his first time up
3 balls, no strikes, Jefferson backs off
Good crowd on hand here in Toronto this afternoon, Blue Jays have drawn very well
Fast ball right through the middle, you cannot expect any better weather than we've had this weekend
Wherever you are, we hope it's been a pleasant weekend, if you're traveling, drive carefully
the pitch, inside, corner strike, 3 and 2
Cincinnati Reds have looked at the Dodgers in the fifth inning, the Dodgers scored 3 times, they take the lead
5 to 3 over Cincinnati, they had a rain delay of what, John, an hour and something?
56 minutes, line drive, center field, coming on, Besetti reaches, and he makes the catch
That young man has made a couple of really good catches today, that time he went to his knees and grabbed it
Making line drive, and center field caught by Besetti, holding his second as carbo
And now it's Dwayne Kipe, Kipe had a base hit the left field his first time up
Dwayne's batting average up to 262
the second baseman, number 18, Dwayne Kipe, has now hit safely in 15 of his last 17 games
Bert Campaneras just was ejected at California for fighting with Ken Brett in the second inning
Looping foul, back out of play
Mr. Spicioneras and Mr. Brett came a little close to Bert
Strike one
the pitch, curve too low
Ball one, a strike, he probably should have come a little closer to Richie Zist because Zist just hit his 13th home run
One ball, one strike, maybe that's when he came close to Campaneras after the home run
One ball, one strike, and the pitch, up too high, two balls and a strike
Jesse Jefferson and the Blue Jays leading 1-0, one out in the fifth inning, the Indians with a runner at second
2-1 to Kiper, ground ball foul, third base tie, that one skipped right over the top of the dugout, in fact it wasn't a ground ball
That thing was a line drive, hit the top of the dugout, skipped back in the seats, well I would hate to be in front of that one
Well a young lady was and she has been hurt
Two balls, two strikes, Bernie Cabo on at second, he doubles, Buddy Bell lined to center, now it's up to Kiper
Lauderville blanks on deck, Jefferson throws up high with a fastball, it's 3-2
Apparently the young lady that was hit is okay, three balls, two strikes
Ground ball, third base tie foul, takes a skip and goes off the front of the dugout, count remains, ball three, strike two
Jesse Jefferson back to that rosin bag, gives it a going over, Jefferson looking at his record this year, he has made 14 previous starts in her 0-5 complete games
He leads the Blue Jays in the complete game department, 3-2 pitch, line drive, left field coming on his up shore, reaches down, dives and gets the ball
They're going to double him up, Willie Upshaw who is not exactly the classic style outfielder, just made a whale of a play, a diving grab right off the top of the artificial turf
Cabo was the third base and had no chance of getting back
So a line drive to left and a double a Cabo, 7-4, he's in the fifth inning, hits the ball hard enough to get a run but they don't, no run, one hit, no errors and nobody left
Middle of five to score, the Cleveland Indians stuffing the Toronto Blue Jays 1

Jamal Wilkins of the Los Angeles Lakers talks about what it would mean to be a father
I think that would be my response to the way people talk about things, you have to do things, you have to think about a child
If the child is here, it's your child, if he's not around, I would just say be very careful about what you do when you do a move
Tell him that it is not a game, don't play around with it, unless it's in a less political service
Now we go into the bottom half of the fifth inning
Microphones are fine, that's it, it'll survive anything
Indians trail one to nothing
Dave McKay, Al Ashby, and the second baseman, Tim Johnson, to face right-handed Dave Fryleven
Dave has pitched very effectively at one inning, in which he gave up a run on three hits, and he's only given up one other hit
First pitch to the left-handed, McKay is up high, ball one, McKay has switched batting left-handed
He bounced the single through the right side, and he was the man that scored the only run in this game back in the third inning
Fast ball high, Indians won the open at two to nothing behind Rick Waits
Last inning relief by Jim Kern, picked him up a save
Ball two, no strikes on the left-hand hitter
Wind up the pitch, swing and a miss, fast ball down around the knees
Two-one pitch, foul back over the screen, two and two
That first game, home run by Gary Alexander in the second inning, provided the margin of difference
Indians pick up a run in the second inning, a run in the third, and Rick Waits made it stand up
Two balls, two strikes, Frye's-Levin throws, inside and high, good fast ball by the right-hander, bring it to
Frye's-Levin is ready, three-two pitch, high, fireball, left field, Grubb coming on, blanks and Bell going out
Grubb says, I'll take it, and he does, just inside fair territory
One up, one down, fifth inning, batting now will be Al Ashby
Ashby has fouled out to the catch, he tried to bun McKay over, and on the sacrifice attempt, foul the ball back at the plate
Gary Alexander grabs it, Al on the switch hit a batting left-handed
Al is at two home runs, seven RBIs, swinging a foul back, strike one, his batting average stands at two-oh-nine
Let's see what he's done from the left side, two-ten, right side, two-twenty-two
Curve, inside and low, one ball, one strike, outfield straight away for him
Kuyper back about fifteen feet into the outfield, fast ball is low again, two balls and a strike
Wind up, and the pitch, swing and a miss, time to change up, two-and-two
Ashby way out in front, he was just completely fooled
One man out, fifth inning, Blue Jays lead one-nothing
Wind up, ground ball sharply hit toward the second baseman, Kuyper, picks her up, throws and gets up
Two up, two down, fifth inning
And now Tim Johnson will ramp the base hit to Southfield his first time up
McKay running on the pitch, legs it around the third, and then he's caught and he's hit the left
Timmy Johnson, he originally started in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization
Curve and it drops below the strike zone, ball on
Yankees won the first game with their double header, three to two
Came up with two runs of tight, late in the game then won it, and run on the eighth inning
Goodley is now 13-0, inside and high, two balls, no strikes
Johnson left hand batter
Yankees lead their second game, three to one at the end of two and a half, bouncy ball right side
Thornton comes on, grabs, runs to the bag, gets there
One, two, three they go in the fifth inning, nothing across
And the prizeland is pitched very, very well
Runs, no hits, no errors, done left, end of five innings in the second game
It's the Toronto Blue Jays one, the Cleveland Indians nothing

We go now into the sixth inning, the Indians have some work to do, they trail 1-0
They will have the ninth man in the batting, little Law-Vell blanks in the top of the order
Jim Norris and Rick Manning to face Jesse Jefferson, Jefferson has been stingy in the hit department
Indians have had only two hits off them, a single by Kiper in the third
And a double by Cabo last inning, the fifth
Law-Vell tried to sacrifice his first time up and was successful
So officially he has not been to the plate, a fast ball missed outside in all ball one
Wind up, right hand at toes, fouled off to the right, sailing deep into the seats well back of the Indian dugout
One ball and a strike, Jefferson delivers
Long drive, left center field, pretty well hit, chasing back up short, the wall, hits, gone, a home run
Law-Vell blanks, it's his first home run of the year and the Indians have tied this game in the sixth at one
Law-Vell blanks, getting number one, his 13th out of the eye
And we have a brand new game, one to one, sixth inning
Here's Jim Norris, he's 0-2 in the game
Fly at the center, called on a strike
Jim Norris batting at 2.58
Jesse Jefferson winds it up, fast ball, buzzed over but out, but high
One ball, no strikes, Jefferson thought he might have had a strike
That home run on Jesse Jefferson, the 17th that he's allowed
That is ball two, outside and high
Jefferson leads the staff of the Blue Jays in the Serenian home runs at 17
79th home run they've allowed, high, pop, foul, out of play
Strike one, make it 80 home runs because the Indians had one in the first, Gary Alexander
One in the first game
Mike Vail is down by the home runner for the Cubs with two men on his side
That makes the score
Billy's lead the Cubs 6-3 in that game, in the seventh inning now
Two balls and a strike
Line drive, left field, Willie Upshaw going back at the warning pass, he reaches up and he grabs it
Jim Norris bidding for a base hit or extra base hit
And gets ordered by the glove of Willie Upshaw
Willie Upshaw does not look like a fellow when he goes after the ball but is entirely sure exactly which way he's going to run
And where that ball's going but he gets the job done
Here's Rick Manning, he's 0 for 2
I'm sure made a diving, sliding catch last inning
Turns into a double play
Change up, bounce to the first base side foul over the Iraqi Calabito in the coaching box
Rocky's been down, picks it up
Strike one
1-1 the score of this game, the Indians with three hits and the Blue Jays with four
Sixth inning, Indians took the opening game 2-0
Line drive, right field, coming on is Hutton, he reaches out and grabs it
See it's tapping the ball right on the nose in this inning
One home run and two line drives
Two minute down and here's Johnny Grubb
Foul out to the catcher, ground out to the second baseman for John
Time call, Johnny not quite set in the batting box and he asks for time and gets it
Curve ball hit high in the air, shallow center field, out goes the shortstop Johnson
On comes Willie Upshaw and on comes the city, Upshaw takes it
One run for the Indians on La Ville Blanks, first home run of the year
One hit and the wearer is done left, middle of sixth, second game for the double header
Blue Jays won, Indians won

Next time it's a fresh fitting for the Blue Jays
We will see the top of the batting order, Rick Bacetti, Willie Upshaw and then third baseman Roy Howell
the Indians and the Blue Jays are tied at one
Rick Bacetti has flying to right
He has single that came in the third inning and drove in the only Blue Jays run of the game
the only Blue Jays run of the day, Indians won the opener 2-0
the Marlite, birds in town or the other birds I should think of the Blue Jays
Also in the league now the former Orioles fly into town, they take on the Indians
Marlite, 7.35 at the stadium, ball one outside
Rise, lay, and then throws, foul ball down the right side out of play, one ball and a strike
We'll give you a run down on the scoreboard here in a moment
Strike one, ball one, Dave Friesleben winds, he delivers, curve ball, flips it below the strike zone
American League, Yankees beat the Tags in the first game 3-2, Yankees lead the second game 3-1, they play 2-1
Indians can win this one, Tigers lose, Indians can move up a notch, right?
They could
They'd be tied, each a 37-40
Next pitch is inside and low, three balls and a strike
Friesleben winds and he throws, high pop, third base side out of play, full count 3-2
Boston and Baltimore postponed by rain, Kansas City playing at Oakland, bottom half of the seventh inning, Oakland leads 1-0, that's the first of a doubleheader
Texas leading California 2-0, they've gone into the bottom half of the third at Anaheim
3-2 pitch, poppy ball, pass them on, near second base, is blank, picks it up, throws and gets them at first
Good play
Good play by LaVell, he had a tough chance because seeing Kuypoor crossing behind second base and it appears the ball might have even hit second base as it went by
LaVell blanks, throws out Rick Bissetti on a bang bang play, 6-3 on the out of third
Here's Willie Upshaw and in the bullpen, Sid Meijer is going for the Indians
Friesleben has not pitched that much and so from here on out I would think that Sauborg will watch him very very closely for signs of his hiring
He has pitched really well, giving up one run on four hits, a run on three hits in one inning
A curve ball, 2-0 ball on, Willie looked like he might bun it, didn't offer
Milwaukee playing in Seattle, Milwaukee 1, Seattle nothing, that's the end of two
Wind up and the pitch, down too low, 2-0
National League, the Phillies lead the Chicago Cubs at least 6-3
Cubs are still batting high, Powell drifting off to the left, another bail, hit a home run in the seventh inning with two on
But they never did send us what the Phillies had done in the seventh, so the Phillies have six and we know that the Cubs have three
2-1 pitch, just a bit low over the outside corner, 3-1
First game, the Cuddles beat the Expos 5-0
Down low, ball four, the Upshaw draws the walk, that is the second walk and here comes a walk by the manager
Jeff Sauborg walking for the mound
Second walk off, he hasn't struck anybody out, he's giving up his four hits
Jeff walking very slowly, mind he's throwing in the bullpen for the try
Left hand banner, Powell is ready in the bullpen, they're waving to the bullpen
So Powell, the left hand banner, will look at the left hand of Sid Mongey who comes chugging in from the bullpen
And for Dave Friesleben, he has pitched very very well here this afternoon, five in the third inning
He has given up just one run on four hits, he walked two, struck nobody out, and Sid Mongey comes in
We'll be back to tell you about Sid after we have this time out
Stand by engine room
Stand by engine room, I take you in gangway, single up all lines
I take you in gangway, single up all lines
Slowest turn
Slowest turn, Captain
Let's take over, make sure to get on down with it
Aye, Captain, I'd like to try some of my mail pouch tobacco, Captain
Came aboard with a mail at Wheeling
Oh, don't mind if I do
the story of a great American tradition, mail pouch killing tobacco
Mail pouch was one of the first brands of leaf tobacco, and it's been pleasing men ever since
That's because mail pouch has its own special one-of-a-kind flavor
It comes from a fundamentalist experience in giving tobacco chewers what they want
A clean, fresh taste that's not too strong, but isn't too sweet
A flavor that really lasts and satisfies a man all day long
So if you haven't tried mail pouch lately, cue a few facts and taste the mail pouch difference
You'll see why it's become a tradition to pitch your mail pouch and treat yourself to the best
Left-hander Sid Manji coming into the ball game
This is his 18th appearance of the year, that includes a couple of starts
He has won two, lost one with three saves
He took a pounding yesterday after a series of excellent relief appearances
And his earned run average is now 3.10
And he'll face Roy Howell, he's 0-2 in the game, runner at first
One man down, six-fitting, game is tied at one
Manji out of the set position, up-shore lead at first, the pitch, swing and a miss, strike one
Tore Boy game after the game yesterday told Sid that it can't be perfect every day
And see what happened yesterday off, and just go back to pitching the way nice and relaxed
Strike one, swing and a miss, strike two, good fastball at the letters
On deck is Rico Cardi, one-to-one the score of this game, we are in inning number six
Indians took the open and two to nothing
Purple, line to left field, coming over Scrupp, can't get to it, it's a fair ball inside the line
Rolling down the corner, around third, coming around the scores up-shore, hit the score, it'll not be entirely determined
It's a fair ball
A two-strike curveball and Howell leads at the left field, the opposite field, just inside the line
So Howell gets a double, and the Blue Jays get to go ahead and run, two to one, Blue Jays lead it
That run is charged to Dave Prysley, so statistically he's out of the game
Prysley is charged with two runs on four hits, walk two
Jeff Tore Boy is coming out to argue, I know what he's arguing about, even though I could not see the play
Because down that left field corner, the fans come out and we can lose sight of it
But the bullpen benches are down there, and I have a feeling that when Grub went into the corner
the ball was down around that bench somewhere, because I saw several of the leaf pitchers in the bullpen
Jump up and get out of the way, I think what Jeff is saying is that it should be a ground-world double
And that the runner should be sent back to third
I'm thinking it was on the third base side, as conferred with Jeff
And I think it's going to stand as just a double with a run score
So the Blue Jays go on top, two to one
Rico Cardi is Rico Cardi
One man out at second base, Rory Howell
Let's give Howell some credit, two strikes on him and the curveball breaking down and away, he had been up a little bit high
But it wasn't a bad curveball, and he ripped at the left field, they're going to put Cardi on
So a walk Cardi, and face the left hand batting John Mayberry
the horse walks, charged to Mangy
And this one of course, will be intentional by it
Mayberry comes to home plate, and in the bullpen, Indians have Dan Spiller up and throwing
John Mayberry
One is at first and at second, six thinning
Blue Jays lead it to the line, coming on, one man out
Alexander stands up behind home plate, shots something out through his in-field
Mangy, in the set position, backs off
Dan Spiller throwing in the bullpen
Side on pitch, bounce to the first baseman, over to second one out, shortstop throws back to first and a double play
Mangy, fits up the mound and takes the throw at first
Good play all the way around, three, six, one on the double play
And in the inning a run for the Blue Jays, could have been a lot worse on one base hit
No errors, and one man left, at the end of sixth the score
the three of an Indians won, the Toronto Blue Jays two
A continuation at the beginning of side three, cassette number two
the Blue Jays lead it to the line, coming on, one man out

You others, get these barrels of spice off the flat car.
the story of a great American tradition, mail pouch chewing tobacco.
Mail pouch was America's first brand of leaf tobacco, and it's been pleasing men ever since.
That's because mail pouch has its own special one-of-a-kind flavor that comes from over 90 years' experience in giving tobacco chewers what they want.
A clean, fresh taste that's not too strong, but isn't too sweet either.
A flavor that really lasts and satisfies a man all day long.
So if you haven't tried mail pouch lately, chew a few packs and taste the mail pouch difference.
You'll see why it's become a tradition to chew mail pouch and treat yourself to the best.

Those three West Coast games, Kansas City 4, Oakland 2, the A's are batting in the eighth.
California just scored three times in the fifth inning to tie their game with Texas at 3-3.
And Milwaukee 1-0 over Seattle in the fourth inning.
We'll update all of those games for you on the tenth inning show.
And on the tenth inning show today, Herb will be chatting with a former teammate and fellow broadcaster,
Early Wynn of the Toronto Blue Jays broadcast team.
Allen Ashby's thrown out of second base, and here's Rick Manning.

Dave Phillips going out toward the mound to look the baseball over and makes a little change with Jesse Jefferson.

the pitch, Grubb wraps it again, right back to McKay.
This time the second baseman guns to first successfully again, and the count is two out,
a little bit of a putty on for the Indians on the ninth, and Gary Alexander gets the last shot at Jefferson.
Gary hits the home run that turned out to be the game winner in the opener, his 16th of the year.
That was four trips, and in this nightcap he's struck out twice and bounced to the first baseman.
Pitch, Alexander takes a fastball high, ball one.
Gaylord Perry goes the route again and wins his ninth.
How about that? 6-2 at Houston for the Padres.

Jesse Jefferson is our number six and seven.
Well, 101 pitches was all Jesse Jefferson needed today.
He goes the route for the sixth time. He's now six and seven.
And in the nine innings that he worked, he gave up the four hits, the one earned run, the home run by Blanks.
He walked three, and he fanned four, including Gary Alexander, three times.
As I say, his record is now six and seven. He's one and one this year against the Indians, and lifetime, two and five against the Tribe.
the starter and loser, Dave Friesleben, who is now a Zippin' Tube at Friesleben,
fits certainly much more creditably today than in his first experience for the Indians.
And let's give you hope that Dave is getting his act together.
He gave up four hits, two runs, although he wasn't around on the second one scored.
Manji delivered a double that drove in that second run charge to Friesleben, and they gave the loser.
Manji and Spillner both worked in relief.
Blue Jays three runs, seven hits, no errors, and the Blue Jays stranded seven men.
While for the Indians, it was one run, four hits, no errors, and the Indians stranded only three.
the first Toronto run came in the third inning when McKay singled, Johnson singled, and Bassetti singled home McKay to make it one to nothing.
the Blue Jays were untighted on Blank's first home run of the year into the seats and left of the sixth inning,
and the Blue Jays promptly untighted with one out, upshaw walk, and that was all for Friesleben.
Manji came on and Howell drilled a double down the left field line, scoring the go-ahead run, making it two to one.
Blue Jays added another run in the seventh inning of play on a double by McKay, a walk to Ashby,
and a pinch hit double by Otto Velez off the wall, then left, making it three to one.
the Indians were stymied in the second game by hitting into three double plays.
So the Indians, with a split on the day and a split on the series, drive now at 36 and 41 for the year.
There was a pinch hit double by Otto Velez off the wall, then left, making it three to one.
the Indians were stymied in the second game by hitting into three double plays.
the Indians, with a split on the day and a split on the series, drive now at 36 and 41 for the year.
They're also seven and three against the Toronto Blue Jays, and Toronto finishes up at 28 and 49 for the day.
the Indians are 17 games, let's see, oh, 16 and a half behind the Boston Red Sox.
They could finish up just a game behind Detroit if the Tigers should lose that second game in New York,
and we'll tell you probably the final on that one when we come back for our tenth inning show.
We'll have more for you here right after this time out.

When you say my, my dad, you say it all. You say it all.
And I said Bush, St. Louis.
Well, the doubleheaders have even split for the day on better than 28,000 here in the ballpark,
as the Cleveland Indians will now head for home to take on the Baltimore Orioles.
A couple of big nights coming up at the stadium. Tomorrow night will be family night at 7.35,
Baltimore in town, and of course the head of the household pays the full cab for Fox Reserved or General Admission seats,
and the rest of the gang gets in for half-fare.
the autograph booth will feature Ted Cox and Mike Paxton from 6.15 to 6.45.
And then on Tuesday night, the 4th of July, a 7.35 game with the Orioles.
It is going to be fireworks galore after the game, a big fireworks display.
the Indians say it will be the biggest display in town and their biggest,
and if it is bigger than what they have shown us in the past in fireworks, it promises to be quite a display.
Tomorrow night, schedule Dennis Martinez for Baltimore and Mike Paxton for the Indians.
However, with the rain out of Boston and Baltimore today, the pitching plans of Baltimore may be changed.
the schedule that we have, though, says Martinez against Paxton tomorrow night, and on Tuesday night,
Mike Flanagan against David Clyde.
And the Indians head for Detroit to play two games, and will come home next weekend prior to the All-Star break
for a big four-game series with the Rugged Boston Red Sox.
A Friday night game, a twilight doubleheader on Saturday night, and then a fat day Sunday single game
with Boston, Jim Rice and Yostremski and all that crowd coming to Cleveland for the weekend prior to the All-Star break.
Indians will then resume action on the west coast following the All-Star break.
Well, we advise you not to stay tuned for the 10th inning show.
I'm going to have all the scores of all the games.
It's been a busy Sunday in baseball in spite of the efforts of the weatherman on several fronts,
and her score will be chatting with his old compadre early win.

the tenth inning.
A graph of today's Cleveland Indians baseball game that scores them around the league.
Is brought to you after every Cleveland Indians baseball game here on 3WJ.
the tenth inning and Cleveland Indians baseball are a part of 3WJ's total sports presentation.
There's been a lot of post game shows on both ends of it now and that's early winner.
the winner of course is a great pitcher with the Indians.
And now a broadcaster with Toronto Blue Jays early is in the Hall of Fame.
And I thought maybe we'd chat about some of the differences in baseball and particularly in pitching.
I know that you fellows are going through a period with a lot of young pitchers and I think you can see the development of the young pitchers.
And they seem to be coming along a little earlier now.
Well Herb, you know with spring training you kind of get confused.
First I want to thank you for all three of those compliments for being a great ball player and in the Hall of Fame.
And especially being a broadcaster.
You know that's something I haven't been accused of yet.
Spring training was really something else.
Underwood you saw him pitch last night.
You can't believe how bad he looked in spring training because he couldn't get the ball over the plate.
They had bunt a ball to him on the mound.
He would grab it and throw it into the outfield.
He tried to pick a runner off.
He threw the ball into the outfield with a bullpen.
And then as soon as the season started all at once he brought them out.
Now LeMansic, he looked fantastic in spring training.
And when the season started he couldn't do anything.
He just won his second ball game the other day after losing nine.
So you can't believe the difference in the two guys.
the real turnaround last year LeMansic was the backbone of the pitching staff.
And of course Garvin, he looks good if he's got control.
He's not a blazing fastball pitcher.
But when he's got control he is very tough.
What about Yan Yan Clancy?
Clancy, he has to have a little bit of control too because when he throws a ball hard he's dangerous.
And his ball moves and lately he has just, the first part of this year he started working on a change of pace.
And his curve ball, and his curve ball is coming on at a change of pace.
And when he's got control of his fastball he is really tough because he throws, I guess harder than anybody on the ball club, he throws harder than underwood.
What about pitching? You know you were a kind of fellow, you worked hard at pitching.
You had a good fastball but you had all the other pitches to go along with.
And I recall talking with you when I was a young pitcher and you used to say,
well don't try to have too many pitches too fast.
You may ask for one or two before you go to another one.
Do you think young pitchers today try to throw too many different pitches?
Yes, I do Herb, but I don't know whether I'm right or wrong.
You see them, they're working on a fork ball, maybe a knuckle ball.
A fork ball and a screw ball are the two things that everybody wants now.
And I was always afraid of those two pitches.
I'd rather have the knuckle ball and the curve ball and the slider because the slider and the curve is a natural way your arm is going to go over across your body.
When you throw a screw ball and a fork ball I don't know about, I know they kind of throw it like a knuckle ball, some people did,
but I threw mine just like I did the fastball except I held it different.
And they turn the arm the opposite way, they turn the palm of the hand away from the body and that is unnatural.
And it seems to me like sooner or later they'll have bone chips, that's what I was always afraid of.
I was always afraid of the sinker even, much less the screw ball.
We have Willis here, he has a great screw ball and he is rougher on right-handers than he is on left-handers I think
because it is a different type of thing, a screw ball coming in, one that really breaks.
I don't know Herb, it's hard to tell anymore.
You know I didn't believe in putting ice on the elbow, that was one of the things that scared me.
When I first came back in 63 this thing had just come about, COFAC started I guess, or his trainer did, LA's trainer.
And the trainer says, you want some ice on your arm? I said no, I'll take some in the cup or in the glass.
the closest any ice will ever get to my elbow is in my hand in a cup or something.
That is one of the differences, they do treat the arm differently. Early when of course you pitched to what, to three different decades?
Yeah, well four. I was stubborn, I wouldn't give up.
Of course I got started just at the right time. I came to Washington in 1939, so only got in one year there.
And then I played through 1963. So there was Mickey Vernon, another friend of yours you know very well,
and Ted Williams, and then Minnie Minoso got, they put Minnie Minoso in a pitch hit.
So they're building them up now you know. And I heard one time, there was a couple other fellows, someone named Bobo Newsom.
But I really don't know, the sports writers have not dug that up yet.
Early on I guess, we could go on and on and on with you, but we're running out of time.
Early we thank you for being with us, for being with us. We have a gift certificate for you from the folks at Don's restaurants in Cleveland. Next time in Cleveland, three fine restaurants to take your choice. A couple of dinners from Don's restaurants. Thanks Earl.
Thank you early. Early on I guess, stay tuned, Joe, we'll check the scoreboard after we have this time out.

If your business has traditionally depended on print advertising, here are some hard facts.
Since 1967, average daily newspaper circulation has failed to keep up with the growth of the population, but average cost per thousand is almost doubled.
Now the radio facts. Since 1967, ratings audience is up a big 61 percent, but cost rolls only moderately.
That means radio isn't right on the button. They'd like more for your money than print.
Ask the station for more details unless it's from the Radio Advertising Bureau.
