00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Dodger Baseball is on the air, brought to you by Farmer John, who provides your family with the finest and freshest eastern corn-fed pork and pork products, including bacon, ham, sausage, wieners, and luncheon meats.

3
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:30,000
By your nearby Toyota dealer, see the Toyota Corona with room enough to fit a family and power enough to move them.

4
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,000
By Olympia Beer, that great light beer from Tumwater, Washington. It's the water and a lot more.

5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:45,000
And by your Union 76 dealers, drive in where you see the big orange ball, the spirit of 76, lives at Union Oil.

6
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Well, hi everyone. This is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-doggett/>Jerry Doggett</a> along with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/vin-scully/>Vin Scully</a>. Here we are at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/busch-stadium/>Busch Stadium</a> in St. Louis for the game between the Dodgers and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1972/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a>.

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000

9
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:14,000
It's a rainy day in St. Louis. The weatherman has come along now with the forecast that it might stop raining for a while.

10
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,000
And we might be able to squeeze in the ballgame between the showers. It has been raining off and on all night and all morning.

11
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:29,000
In fact, the most recent shower about 45 minutes ago here in St. Louis. But now the ground crew at work getting the field in shape.

12
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Astro turf here in St. Louis. It has been sponged off. The infield dirt was covered by the tarp.

13
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
It is now being dressed up and we should be underway with the ballgame in a very few moments.

14
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:48,000
It's a big day in the life of young <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a> out of Columbus, Texas. And he came to the Dodgers by way of Albuquerque and a couple of good seasons in the minors.

15
00:01:48,000 --> 00:02:00,000
For Doug he is making his first major league start. Although he pitched earlier this year for the Dodgers just about a month ago in fact at Cooperstown, New York in the exhibition game against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-yankees/1972/overview/>New York Yankees</a>.

16
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,000
In that game Rau pitched three strong innings, developed a blister on his pitching hand and had to come out after the Yankees got to him.

17
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:16,000
But Rau went back to Albuquerque, finished up in a blaze of glory and he is with us now and will start today's ballgame. Young <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a> out of Columbus, Texas.

18
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
We'll have the starting lineups and other pregame notes for you after this message.

19
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,000
If Farmer John would apply a pennant over his place, naturally it would say the east and most in quality and the west and most in flavor.

20
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Farmer John likes me to remind you folks now and then that this is not a slogan but a fact.

21
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,000
It's an expression of Farmer John's way of doing things differently and why his products are different. Now you take Farmer John bacon.

22
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Every ounce is eastern corn fed pork, the finest and the freshest because Farmer John brings the pork out here live, not frozen or in cold storage like most other packers do.

23
00:02:48,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Then the meat is dressed fresh, cured into bacon here in the west. So Farmer John bacon is just as fresh and the same highest quality as bacon in the eastern corn belt, hence the eastern most in quality.

24
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Then Farmer John smokes his bacon a secret old time western way over native western wood to give it a marvelous western flavor, which adds up to the western most in flavor.

25
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:18,000
So put it all together and you have words with genuine meaning. Farmer John bacon, the east and most in quality and believe me, the western most in flavor.

26
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Here at St. Louis, the ground crew putting the finishing touches now to getting the ballpark ready for the game. Skies overhead, dreary gray and it looks like it could rain any moment.

27
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,000
But we are hoping of course that the weatherman's forecast is correct. We'll have a couple of hours gap in here so that we are able to get the ball game in.

28
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:51,000
If you're ready now, we'll give you the landers for the ball game today for the Dodgers leading off playing second base Lee Lacey. Lacey at second.

29
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a> will be in right field. Buckner.

30
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:03,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a> in center field. Davis batting third.

31
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wes-parker/>Wes Parker</a> will be at first base batting fourth.

32
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a> in left field batting fifth. Crawford.

33
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a> is the third baseman. Valentine.

34
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a> will be at shortstop. Russell.

35
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a> will do the catching. Yeager.

36
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Yeager catching and Doug Rowe to do the pitching.

37
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:45,000
They were teammates of course at Albuquerque earlier in the year before Yeager was called up and Rowe is called up before the Coast League goes into its playoff season which begins next week.

38
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
So the left hander Doug Rowe wears number 43 warming up in the bullpen down in left field.

39
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,000
The batting order for the Cardinals <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lou-brock/>Lou Brock</a> in left field.

40
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-sizemore/>Ted Sizemore</a> at second base.

41
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a> in right field.

42
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a> will play third base in today's game. Torre.

43
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:23,000
The first baseman will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> who normally is the catcher for the Cardinals. So Simmons will play first base today.

44
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Melendez will be in center field. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/luis-melendez/>Luis Melendez</a>.

45
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:42,000
The catcher will be Skip Jutzi. J-U-T-Z Jutzi was the starting catcher in the second game last night.

46
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:52,000
So Jutzi today will be the catcher again and they move <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> to first base. That's an experiment the Cardinals are going to try for a few ball games here during September.

47
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:59,000
The shortstop will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dwayne-anderson/>Dwayne Anderson</a>. Anderson at short.

48
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:09,000
And the pitcher is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a>. Durham a right hander who lost to the Dodgers in Los Angeles. He has 0-1 against them lifetime.

49
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:18,000
And 2-6 against the league this year with an earned run average of 3-8-0. Durham hard throwing right hander has shown that he has pretty good stuff.

50
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
The umpires will come out now. We'll have the exchange of batting cards as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a> brings the card up for the Cardinals.

51
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/danny-ozark/>Danny Ozark</a> has the batting order for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1972/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a>.

52
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Some pregame ceremonies are being concluded. And we're going to have the playing of our national anthem.

53
00:06:41,000 --> 00:07:10,000
fondly noodles

54
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:28,000
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

55
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:40,000
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

56
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

57
00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:21,000
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?

58
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:35,000
The umpires for the game will be Mel Steiner at home plate, Williams at first, Stalo at second, and Sudol will be at third.

59
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Our pregame ceremonies have been concluded now, and if you will, with us, we'll keep your fingers crossed.

60
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,000
We understand the weather in California is bright, sunny, a beautiful day, but here is anything but.

61
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Jury overcast and the threat of rain is with us, and of course the ball club's hoping that they can get this one in.

62
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
A postponement today would really create problems.

63
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:06,000
It would necessitate a doubleheader tomorrow, and then the ball clubs would have to go into Labor Day for the regularly scheduled doubleheaders.

64
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
The Dodgers against the Reds in Los Angeles Monday at 5 o'clock.

65
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
The Cardinals play Montreal, a doubleheader here.

66
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Friends, here's a thrill waiting for some Dodger fan at fan appreciation night, September 27th.

67
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
He'll have a chance to reach into a fishbowl and come up with one of five keys.

68
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:31,000
He will then approach a line of trailers, mobile homes, and campers, all of which will be seen later at the 20th Annual Trailer Coach Association's Mobile Home and Recreational Vehicle Show.

69
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Whichever vehicle the key fits becomes his.

70
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,000
They range in value from $5,000 to $10,000, so he'll be a nervous picker.

71
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:50,000
You'll find out there a 20-foot Champion Home from Champion Builders, Inc., an 18-foot Perfie Couple fifth-wheel trailer from Perfie Camper,

72
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:59,000
a 28-foot Silver Streak Continental from the Silver Streak Trailer Company, an 18-foot Tioga Motorhome by Fleetwood,

73
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:06,000
and a 20-foot Road Ranger travel trailer manufactured by Kipp Manufacturing Company.

74
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
How would you like to fit the key into one of those?

75
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Well, call it your own. Maybe you will. Fan appreciation night, September 27th.

76
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Waiting for the Cardinals to take the field here on the scoreboard.

77
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Not too much underway as yet. There's a lot of nighttime action, and now the Cardinals take the field.

78
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:32,000
San Diego has come up with three runs in the second inning and lead Chicago 3-2, Caldwell against Milk Papas.

79
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Twyniter will find Philadelphia at Atlanta. New York will be at Houston for a night game. Strom going against Wilson.

80
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:49,000
And the Astros have won six in a row. San Francisco will be at Pittsburgh, McDowell, and Browse. Montreal at Cincinnati, the Reds have won 11 out of 14.

81
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
And the Astros, with their winning streak, haven't been able to make hardly a dent in the lead of Cincinnati.

82
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Torres against Nolan in the game at Cincinnati tonight. Kansas City at Boston, 2-0 Boston leads in the second inning.

83
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Chicago at New York, Bradley against Klein, no score, one inning.

84
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Cleveland, Minnesota, no score in the second inning. Dunning and Woodson.

85
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Later on, Detroit at Oakland, Lollich against Blue. That ought to be a good one. Mickey Lollich and Vita Blue.

86
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Milwaukee at Texas tonight, and Baltimore will be at Cleveland, at California tonight, to play the Angels at the Big A.

87
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:30,000
It will be Palmer 18-6 and May 6-10. So that's everything on the scoreboard here in St. Louis. We're all set.

88
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Time to play ball. The Dodgers and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1972/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a>. And now for the play-by-play. Here's Vince Gulley. Vinny?

89
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Thank you, Jerry. Hi, everybody. And a very pleasant good day to you, or ever you may be.

90
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
It's been gray and rainy and everything else. The lights are being turned on in the ballpark.

91
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000
But thanks to the AstroTurf, we'll be able to get this game underway.

92
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:55,000
It is the one thing about modern design, although they can't totally defeat the weather, as they can do, let's say, in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/astrodome/>Astrodome</a> in Houston.

93
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Nevertheless, this game probably could not have been played in the old ballpark, nor could it have been played in any ballpark where they had grass.

94
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:12,000
It just rained too hard and too long. But here, outside of the fact that the carpet is a little damp, why, there's no problem, and they'll get it underway.

95
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Lee Lacey, followed by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a> and then <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a> here in the first inning.

96
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Lacey hitting 261, so his average has drifted down a bit. Lee's big problem is just not to get discouraged.

97
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,000
He's kind of a youngster. When things go badly, he begins to doubt himself. So he needs a lot of pep talk.

98
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Right-handed <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a>'s first pitch is high and inside. The lead ball one, 1-0.

99
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:43,000
The Dodgers in the tenth game on this road trip have won five and lost four, thanks to splitting the double header last night. They got above 500.

100
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Here's the 1-0 pitch to Lee Lacey. Durham delivers fastball for a strike in the count, 1-1.

101
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Dodgers have won six out of ten from the Cardinals. They took four out of six at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a>. They've split the four here.

102
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,000
And the finale is tomorrow. Here's the 1-1 pitch on the way to Lacey. Fastball fouled away. He was late, didn't get around on it.

103
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:12,000
One and two, the count. Tomorrow's game, remember, will be on Channel 9. Channel 9.

104
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,000
The Dodgers and the Cardinals, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-singer/>Bill Singer</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/reggie-cleveland/>Reggie Cleveland</a> warm up at 10.55.

105
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Breaking ball is looped to right field. Sizemore going out and this one's going to fall for a base hit in front of Carbo.

106
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:35,000
To Lee Lacey, another into right field for a base hit and the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a>.

107
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:43,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a>, the right fielder, hitting 3.17. On deck, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a>.

108
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Adding second for the Dodgers, number 22.

109
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:53,000
So do we. Yeah, yeah.

110
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a>, the batter. Lee Lacey at first, held on by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a>.

111
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,000
So the three top catchers in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1972/overview/>National League</a> have played other positions. There goes Lacey.

112
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000
The pitch swung on and missed. Judges throw. They get him.

113
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,000
At a weight on Dick Stelow, the second base on fire, got to the bag and slipped and started to fall.

114
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:23,000
And he couldn't give a sign until he had regained his balance. But Lacey has thrown out. It's a tough track.

115
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Play going 2-6 from Skip Jutsey to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dwayne-anderson/>Dwayne Anderson</a>. 0-1 to count to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a>.

116
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,000
With nobody out, the Dodgers are actually playing hit and run and Buckner just failed to make contact.

117
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Lacey is shot down. Durham can go back to a windup and the strike one fastball is popped in the air foul to the left of the plate.

118
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Jutsey comes back. Skip is there to make the catch. 2-down.

119
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a>, who is a super young catcher for the Cardinals, is playing first base today.

120
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,000
That gives Skip Jutsey a chance to catch and it gets Torrey back at third where he does well.

121
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-bench/>Johnny Bench</a>, of course, has played third base in left field as well as catching.

122
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,000
And the Pirates are thinking about putting Manny Sanguian in left field and catching Milt Mayowild.

123
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:18,000
And they, without a doubt, are the top three catchers in the league and about as good as there would be anywhere.

124
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a>. He takes outside. Ball one. 1-0.

125
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Davis batting 287. He's been, I would say, very consistent at that mark. He's been right around there for months and months now.

126
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000
The 1-0 pitch to Willie. Durham's pitch is low and away. Ball two.

127
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Mel Steiner is the plate umpire. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-williams/>Billy Williams</a> at first. Dick Stelow at second.

128
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,000
And the crew chief, Ed Soudal, is on the line back at third. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-gilliam/>Jim Gilliam</a> coaching at first. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/danny-ozark/>Danny Ozark</a> at third.

129
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,000
2-0 pitch to Davis. Fastball. Line drive right at Durham.

130
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Durham caught that thing right between his legs, just about thigh high.

131
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Caught it and then just dropped it and walked away.

132
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a>, a bullet right back at Durham. No runs, one hit.

133
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
And at the end of half an inning, Dodger's nothing. Cardinal's coming up.

134
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Say, if you're said to buy a new car, that's great. The showroom cars will be looking good.

135
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,000
But watch it. You'd better know that a lot of display cars are looking good because they're loaded with expensive options.

136
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Not so with Toyotas. A whole lot of nice appointments on a Toyota are standard.

137
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Things that could run you about 250 bucks someplace else.

138
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Things like front disc brakes, reclining bucket seats, tinted windows, bumper guards, nylon carpeting, white walls.

139
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Toyota calls all these things standard equipment.

140
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Now some other cars call them about 250 bucks worth of options.

141
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:46,000
That's based on a comparison of manufacturers' suggested retail prices from published sources.

142
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
So be sure to watch it. Be careful.

143
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:55,000
When new cars are out to dazzle you, remember their fancy extras can have a very fancy extra price.

144
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000
And while supply lasts, pick up a free 100-page Olympic guidebook at participating Toyota dealers.

145
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Licensed drivers only, please.

146
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Bottom of the first inning, the Dodgers turned away empty-handed, we'll set them defensively. On the mound, young <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a>, R-A-U, making his big league debut.

147
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Behind the plate, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a>. The infield, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wes-parker/>Wes Parker</a> at first, Lee Lacey at second.

148
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
The shortstop, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a>, the third baseman, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a>.

149
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,000
The outfield, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a> is in left. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a> is in center. And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a> is in right.

150
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:39,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lou-brock/>Lou Brock</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-sizemore/>Ted Sizemore</a>, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a> in that order.

151
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lou-brock/>Lou Brock</a>, the left fielder, left-hand batter, hitting 304.

152
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:52,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a>, Douglas James Rau by name, born in Columbus, Texas.

153
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:59,000
He'll be 24 in December. He's left-handed all the way, 6 to 180 pounds.

154
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:05,000
The graduate of Texas A&M, he got a bachelor of science degree in finance and economics.

155
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000
The pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lou-brock/>Lou Brock</a> is high and away, ball one, 1-0.

156
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Boy, he was a brilliant student. He had a scale, 3.8 on a scale of 4, over his four years in college.

157
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:22,000
They've got a head out there on the mound. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a>, the 1-0 pitch to Brock, is waved out and missed 1-1.

158
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Whether they have an arm out there remains to be seen.

159
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,000
At Albuquerque, Rau was 14-3.

160
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Rau comes back 1-1, and the curveball over for a strike, 1-2.

161
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Rau pounding his spikes on the rubber.

162
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Doug lifts his head, looks in to get a sign from Yeager.

163
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,000
And the 1-2 pitch to Brock is a ground ball to Russell. Bill is up with that.

164
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Rau goes across to Farquhar for the out one-away, and will pause for station identification.

165
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1972/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a>, Radio Network.

166
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
This is KTAR Phoenix.

167
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Don't ever let a happy moment pass you by all through the day.

168
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-sizemore/>Ted Sizemore</a>, the ex-Dodgers, hitting 400 against Los Angeles pitching.

169
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000
The Sizemore, second baseman with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a> on deck.

170
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Rau is disposed of his first man, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lou-brock/>Lou Brock</a>.

171
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Now the pitch to Sizemore, strike on the outside corner, 0-1.

172
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Rau comes back to the plate, 0-1. Fastball jumped in there, strike two.

173
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:44,000
In July of 1970, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a> was pitching for Bakersfield in the California League.

174
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
In a nine-inning game, he struck out 21.

175
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,000
The strike two pitch is a bounce-it-down to Russell. Bill, near the bag, picks it up and gets him.

176
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
So two away on ground balls to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a>.

177
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:01,000
And Nevada will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a>, and I think Sizemore might have broken his bat.

178
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:14,000
So Rau has only pitched a little while, 70-71 and 72, and here he is in the big leagues.

179
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Doug looks down to get a sign from Yeager. Carbo, left-hand batter, swings at a fastball and doesn't get it and they count 0-1.

180
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,000
So now it remains to be seen. What will he do in the big leagues?

181
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,000
He's gotten his first two batters. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a>.

182
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Yeager, Wigswag assign a two-out to him. The strike one pitch, off speed, and it stayed inside. One ball and one strike.

183
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Concluding game of the series tomorrow, Bilsinger, 5-13, against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/reggie-cleveland/>Reggie Cleveland</a>, 13-11.

184
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Now the 1-1 pitch is a breaking ball, low and away ball two, 2-1.

185
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Two down in the first inning, no score. Gray, Day, he can ring this one out.

186
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Here's the 2-1 pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a>, fastball inside, ball three, three and one.

187
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:14,000
So no blue skies here in St. Louis, although we understand the weather in Los Angeles is just fine.

188
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
We hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

189
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:25,000
If the weather in Southern California is fine, it is one of the few places in the United States where the weather is fine.

190
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Here's the 3-1 pitch. Carbo pops it up, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a>, who handled two ground balls, will now handle a pop fly.

191
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Dancing around makes the catch, and so Bill gets them all.

192
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a> has one inning of his major league career in the books. At the end of the inning, no score.

193
00:21:40,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Oly, oly, o. Oly, oly, o. Oly, oly, o. Oly, oly, o. It's the water, oh, that makes it oly beer. It's the water and the lot.

194
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:19,000
It's the special care that makes olymphia. Such a special beer, that's olymphia. It's the way we age, our oly, oly beer. It's the water and the lot.

195
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:38,000
It's the house and drink, the best that we can buy. It's the exercise, that's just one reason why. The time to make it great, to make olymphia. It's the water and the lot.

196
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Oly, oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, o. Oly, oly, o.

197
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Second inning, no score in the ballgame, and the Dodgers will have <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wes-parker/>Wes Parker</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a>, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a> against right-handed <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a>.

198
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:05,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wes-parker/>Wes Parker</a> checks into the ballgame at 290. Durham ready, delivers, and Mrs. Hybe, ball one, 1-0.

199
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Durham comes back to the plate, 1-0, fastball to Parker, in there for a strike, and the count, 1-1.

200
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Simmons and Sizemore, Anderson and Torry, the infield, Brock, Melendez and Carbo in the outfield, Jutsey behind the plate, and Durham delivers, and the fastball over for a strike, 1-2.

201
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Wes, two different hitters, boy, he's really night and day, he's hitting 258 left-handed, 338 right-handed.

202
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Now the 1-2 pitch, Parker takes high, ball two, 2-2.

203
00:23:51,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Of his four home runs, he's hit two from each side of the plate, but of his 49 RBIs, 30 of them has come as a left-handed batter, with that 258 average.

204
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:09,000
He takes ball three, 3-2.

205
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Now Durham's 3-2 pitch to Parker is lifted into left side of field, Brock cruising over, signaling that he has it, and he does, one away.

206
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Say you're a sure winner with your family when you serve them Farmer John, fresh pork and pork products.

207
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a>, Willie checks in at 236.

208
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
He has seven home runs, 21 runs batted in.

209
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
We're in the second inning, no score, and we're thankful to get this one in.

210
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Durham into the windup, and the right-hander deals high, ball one.

211
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
The weatherman, she'll call the turn.

212
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:51,000
He said there would be a three to four hour gap between rains.

213
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
And it's just at the right time to play the game.

214
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,000
The fastball to Crawford is outside, ball two, 2-0.

215
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,000
As long as the rain holds up, we'll get this one in.

216
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Here's the 2-0 pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a>, change outside, ball three, 3-0.

217
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:23,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a>, a quick worker, the 3-0 pitch, little high, ball four, so Crawford a one-out walk, and the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a>.

218
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:30,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-santorini/>Al Santorini</a>, who pitched and pitched well, but lost a tough one last night, he pitched very quickly.

219
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:38,000
And it could very well be that a young pitching staff is influenced by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-gibson/>Bob Gibson</a>.

220
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Durham's straddling the rubber, waiting for Valentine to get squared away.

221
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:49,000
It takes a little bit of doing when you get on the dirt, because the dirt is wet and loose, not too much traction.

222
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Durham will look over at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a>, the right-hander ready and delivers, and the fastball to strike, on one.

223
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Jim Russo is talking about the Dodgers. He's a Baltimore scout who lives out in this area and handles the Midwest for Baltimore.

224
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:10,000
And he watches the Dodgers particularly. He was saying without a doubt the Dodgers are the fastest team in baseball.

225
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,000
It's not even close with anybody else. Ballon takes high and inside, one-on-one.

226
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:22,000
For speed is an important part of the game. It's not everything, but boy, it's a tough commodity to come by.

227
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:28,000
The Dodgers have the speed, they have the pitching, they are starting to have the defense now.

228
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:37,000
And of course their big sock man was <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-robinson/>Frank Robinson</a> who just got all banged up. The pitch to Valentine is strike one and two.

229
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,000
One away, second inning, no score.

230
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:56,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a> on deck.

231
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
One and two to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a>. Durham at the bell, Crawford a pretty good lead.

232
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Their pitch to Valentine is low, ball two, two and two.

233
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:10,000
The Cardinals are 17 and a half back of the Pirates. The Dodgers a dozen back of Cincinnati.

234
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,000
And of course remember Monday 5 p.m. a Twilight night doubleheader with the Reds.

235
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,000
The auto gates and the turnstiles open at three.

236
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,000
That Labor Day doubleheader will be the beginning of the four game series with Cincinnati.

237
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Valentine drives it to right center and lands in front of Carbo for a hit.

238
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Crawford has to stop at second because Carbo made it close.

239
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
So first and second with one out and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a> the batter.

240
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Valentine who was sitting 269 will get up into the 270s now with that base hit.

241
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:48,000
And here's Russell. Bill hitting 287.

242
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a> looks in to skip Jutsey to get the sign. Russell waiting.

243
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Bill with four home runs, 29 runs batted in.

244
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:04,000
And the first pitch sails over Russell's head to the backstop and everybody moves up 90 feet.

245
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Crawford goes to third. Valentine to second and boy he really uncorked the wild pitch.

246
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,000
About a foot over Russell's head and it hit the backstop on the fly.

247
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:22,000
So the Dodgers now have a chance to pick up a couple.

248
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,000
One and all to count. Now I think they're going to walk Russell. Yep that wild pitch took the bat right out of his hand.

249
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,000
So Russell will get the intentional walk and Yeager and Rao will be coming up.

250
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,000
And for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a> a chance to pick up an RBI. He has three.

251
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
In a moment the bases will be loaded.

252
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Meg Yeager two RBIs.

253
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,000
A couple of wide ones to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a> to load him up.

254
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,000
So Russell trots to first. Valentine at second. Crawford at third.

255
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
So they have running speed even though they have a slow track.

256
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,000
And catches <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a> coming up.

257
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:04,000
He has two hits and 34 at bats. Two RBIs.

258
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Yeager started the second game last night. He was hit by a pitch, grounded out and fly to left.

259
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000
We'll see what he does now against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a>.

260
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Right hander ready and the pitch to Yeager. Breaking ball fouled away outside of third in the count of one one.

261
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Yeager and Rao on deck.

262
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Durham into the wind up. The right hander delivers. Breaking ball is whacked to left field.

263
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Brock racing over and he can't get it. And boy what a lift that's going to give Yeager.

264
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:50,000
The ball bouncing away from Brock. Crawford scores. Valentine scores.

265
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Russell scores on a triple by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a>.

266
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:00,000
And that is really going to take a load off the young catcher's shoulders.

267
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a> who is really pressing. He had two RBIs since being called up.

268
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:20,000
The Eagles home three here in the second inning and the Dodgers lead three to nothing.

269
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,000
The Doug Rao coming up with a runner at third and the Dodgers leading three to nothing.

270
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Rao making his debut at the bat. Left hand hitter with one out.

271
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Yeager at third out of a stretch goes Durham and the pitch to Doug a strike. 0-1 they play the infield out.

272
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Three nothing Dodgers. As Yeager triples home the bases loaded.

273
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Now the strike one pitch to Rao is taken strike two. Doug hits as he pitches left handed all the way.

274
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:00,000
No balls and two strikes to count.

275
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lowell-palmer/>Lowell Palmer</a> begins to throw in the bullpen as Rao fouls it away.

276
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Here in the inning Crawford walked and Valentine singled him to second.

277
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:16,000
The key was a wild pitch. So that caused Durham to walk Russell intentionally to load the bases.

278
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,000
And then Yeager tripled home everybody. And here is Rao 0-2 to Doug.

279
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Durham out of a stretch and delivers and the fastball is inside ball one.

280
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:34,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lowell-palmer/>Lowell Palmer</a> throwing back of right handed <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a> here in the second inning.

281
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Now the one-two pitch to Doug. Fastball is just outside. So he's inside outside in the count two and two.

282
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Durham at the belt and the two-two pitch fastball low ball three.

283
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,000
One thing Rao in his big league debut he's not getting any lollipops up there.

284
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Pretty good fastballs by Durham but he's been missing and he's gone all the way.

285
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Right hand already in the three-two pitch Rao slices it into left center field racing over as Melendez.

286
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:20,000
He can't get it and it's going to go to the wall. So Yeager scores. Rao is going to go for three.

287
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:36,000
And in his big league debut he triples drives in a run in the Dodgers lead 4-0. How do you do?

288
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a> getting a hero's welcome in the Dodgers dugout.

289
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:47,000
All players know what it's like to press and be dying for a hit and that's what Yeager got a big one.

290
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Bonnie Schultz going out to the mound. Back to back triples by the youngsters Yeager and Rao.

291
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,000
And the Dodgers lead 4-0. And we'll see if they're bringing a quick look.

292
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Schultz looks down to the pen where Palmer is throwing.

293
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:13,000
And Durham who is 2-6 with the lead he has completed 1-7 and is going to be 1-8. He's gone.

294
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:22,000
So Durham here in the second inning gives up two walks a single and back to back triples by Yeager and Rao.

295
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:28,000
And out he goes. 4-0 Dodgers here in the second inning. We got some time and we'll spend it with Jerry.

296
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Friends plan a trip this winter. Let the Dodgers help you make it.

297
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Listen to these prizes which will be given at fan appreciation night Wednesday, September 27.

298
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,000

00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,000

302
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Two round trips to New York via TWA 747 featuring Ambassador Service.

These and many, many more gifts for our Dodger Reuters on fan appreciation night Wednesday, September 27.

00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Take a tip, order tickets early at any Dodger ticket office or by mail to the Dodgers Box 100 Los Angeles 90051.

306
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:33,000
On the scoreboard at Chicago, 2-0 Chicago leading San Diego at the end of 2-1.

307
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,000
We had a report earlier that San Diego scored 3. We rubbed that out.

308
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000
It is still 2-0 Chicago, Caldwell and Papas.

309
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Double header schedule, Philadelphia, Atlanta. New York at Houston tonight, San Francisco, Pittsburgh tonight, Montreal at Cincinnati tonight.

310
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1972/overview/>American League</a>, Boston 5 and Kansas City nothing at the end of 3.

311
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Chicago 1, New York 1 at the third inning.

312
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,000
And Cleveland, Minnesota no score at the end of 2.

313
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Later on Detroit at Oakland. Milwaukee will be at Texas tonight and Baltimore at California tonight.

314
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
All right, back to play. Here's Vince.

315
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:11,000
All right, Jerry Lee Lacey coming up with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a> at third base. The Dodgers have dispatched Durham.

316
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,000
It's 4-0 Dodgers and Lacey trying to make it 5 and get Rau home.

317
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
There's only one out. That was the first batter.

318
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Parker flied to left. Crawford walk, Valentine's single, the wild pitch, intentional walk to Russell.

319
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Pitch is fouled away by Lacey. Off to the right and a count on one.

320
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:38,000
So Yeager and Rau have tripled back to back for a big inning. 0-1 to Lacey.

321
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Palmer at the belt and delivers and it's in the dirt. A nice save by Jutzi in the count one and one.

322
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Lacey's average drifting to 2-61, but he's single to right in the first inning. So he's one for one.

323
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Palmer comes back and a fastball is waved at him. Good location that time.

324
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Knee high outside part of the plate and Lee was guessing inside. He seemed to give right away and then tried to reach for it.

325
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:11,000
1-2 to second baseman Lee Lacey. Palmer delivers, fastball blew him down swinging so there's a big out.

326
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Rau is still at third and with two down, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a> coming up.

327
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:39,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a> fouled out in the first inning hitting 3-16. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a> at third base, four runs over for the Dodgers.

328
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Palmer's pitch is high and away, ball one.

329
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Now the 1-0 pitch on the way. Buckner fouls it back. 1-1. Dodgers four, Cardinals nothing in the second inning.

330
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Low Palmer, 0-1 with the lead. Right hander into the windup and the 1-1 pitch to Buckner is outside. Ball two, 2-1.

331
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Palmer is strictly a relief man. It's his 14th assignment.

332
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Now the 2-1 pitch. Buckner hits the ground ball down to shortstop. Anderson kicks it, recovers it on a bounce, throws and nips him at first base.

333
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:47,000
So Buckner is out 6-3 and the Dodgers leave Rau at third but they get four runs, three hits and at the end of an inning and a half, Dodgers four, Cardinals nothing.

334
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,000
I'm sure you've noticed a fantastic boom in recreational vehicles in the last few years.

335
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,000
More and more Americans are taking their vacations in campers and trailers.

336
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:01,000
If you're one of them, Union 76 has some important information for you to remember about the tires on your camper or trailer.

337
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Correct inflation pressure for the load you're carrying is the most important rule for tire safety and mileage.

338
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Never drive or tow any recreational vehicle on underinflated tires. That causes fast, uneven tread wear and premature tire failure.

339
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Don't overinflate your tires either to compensate for additional loads.

340
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Check the markings on the tires for the correct load range and inflation pressure.

341
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:29,000
And check the maximum load limit recommended for your trailer or camper by the manufacturer.

342
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:35,000
It's easy to unwittingly overload a recreational vehicle and that's just as dangerous as underinflating your tires.

343
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Union 76 wants you to have a safe and enjoyable vacation and they're glad to help.

344
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:46,000
So while you're traveling, remember the folks with the spirit. The spirit of 76 lives at Union Oil.

345
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Here are some additional prizes awaiting you at Fan Appreciation Night in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a> September 27th.

346
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,000
A full year's supply of Pepsi 12 plastic Pepsi coolers,

347
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:06,000
two $50 savings accounts at Bank of America's new Los Angeles main office,

348
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:12,000
a Dalmatian puppy from Smokey the Bear, a pony from American Provision Company and Coast Grain,

349
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:19,000
a tent trailer from Montgomery Ward, a Toro Power lawnmower from Pennsylvania lawn and garden shop, and many, many more.

350
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Fan appreciation night, Wednesday, September 27th. Order tickets now.

351
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Okay, here's Vinnie.

352
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Hi, Jerry. Doug Rouse. Not only gotten a base hit, it was a triple.

353
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:35,000
He picked up an RBI. He's leading four to nothing and he's ready to work in the second inning.

354
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:45,000
He'll be getting Tori, Simmons, and Melendez.

355
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Tori hitting 290 has 11 home runs and 70 runs batted in.

356
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a> talking to Doug Rouse for a moment.

357
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:06,000
So here's Tori starting it off. Joe is a long way from last year. He's about 73 points from last year.

358
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:13,000
As the most valuable player, he hit 363. This year, 290.

359
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,000
It's the old story in baseball. What have you done for me lately?

360
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Rouse ready, delivers fastball, fouled away, or first base out of play, and the count on one.

361
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Rouse comes back with a change and it's popped up on the right side and fouled around is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wes-parker/>Wes Parker</a>,

362
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:46,000
and waiting and makes the catch for the out. So the change up, fool Tori, won away, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> the batter.

363
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Simmons playing first base today is hitting 301, and he is a most consistent player.

364
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Has a switch hitter, 303 left-handed, 297 right-handed.

365
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:05,000
They talk about consistency. The Corolla 1600 is value. A sturdy car at a low price and lavishly equipped.

366
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Test price is at your nearby Toyota dealer. Simmons drives it up the alley. In left center, it'll be an extra base hit for Ted.

367
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Chasing it is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a>. Simmons stumbling, rounding first and goes into second standing.

368
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:23,000
The infield is very treacherous. He goes to the rain, they put a lot of topsoil and sand out there.

369
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:29,000
And boy, there are some really bad spots. Dick Stella, the second base on fire, almost fell on his ear.

370
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:34,000
And the same for Simmons, rounding first.

371
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:42,000
The batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/luis-melendez/>Luis Melendez</a>.

372
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Here is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/luis-melendez/>Luis Melendez</a>, right-hand batter. Melendez hitting 253. Simmons at second with one out, four-nothing Dodgers.

373
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Rau's fastball is fouled to the screen on one.

374
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:59,000
Walter Olson was first impressed with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-rau/>Doug Rau</a>'s double, not first impressed, he had seen him in the spring.

375
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:05,000
But he liked what he saw in the Cooperstown game with the Yankees. Rau pitched well until he developed a bluster.

376
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:14,000
So now he's pitching for keeps. Strike one pitch on the way. Turned it over but missed low and account one ball and one strike.

377
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:23,000
The Cardinals against left-handers are four games under 500. They're 18 and 22 against left-handers.

378
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:39,000
Fastball is fouled away and the count one and two.

379
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:44,000
One and two the count to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/luis-melendez/>Luis Melendez</a>.

380
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Dodgers four, Cardinals nothing. We're in the bottom of the second inning.

381
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,000
The game started late but the big thing is it started.

382
00:42:53,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Now the one-two pitch on the way is a high chopper wide a third to Valentine who juggles close to first in time.

383
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:05,000
I think Bobby was taking a quick peek at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> at second base and he almost dropped that high bouncer.

384
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Two out and Skip Jutzi coming up.

385
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,000
Jutzi made his big league debut last night.

386
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:23,000
But it was a modest debut to say the least. He struck out three times and threw a ball into center field for an error.

387
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:29,000
But one game does not make a season nor a career and Jutzi is right back in there today.

388
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Rau at the belt and Doug delivers high and outside. Ball one.

389
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Four-nothing Dodgers second inning. Two down. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> at second base.

390
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Here's the one-oh pitch on the way. Fastball fouled away. Off to the right. Second deck in the count one and one.

391
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Here in St. Louis the dimensions symmetrical park as all the new ones are.

392
00:43:54,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Three-thirty down the lines. Three-eighty-six up the alleys. Four-fourteen to center.

393
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Now the pitch. Low and inside. Ball two. Two and one.

394
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:17,000
The top five hitters as they flash them on the board now. You find two of the five in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1972/overview/>National League</a> are Dodgers.

395
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:21,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-williams/>Billy Williams</a> leading with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cesar-cedeno/>Cesar Cedeno</a>. They're even at three-forty.

396
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Manny Moda three-twenty-seven. Ralph Gahr three-eighteen and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a> three-seventeen at the start of the game.

397
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Let's go to the third. Four-nothing Dodgers and for more Play-By-Play here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-doggett/>Jerry Doggett</a>.

398
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,000
All right Vinnie and here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a> about to line out to the pitcher. Durham is first time up.

399
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Durham is not with us now. Palmer into the lineup and the pitch swung a half swing and a fly ball to center field.

400
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Malenda's moving up. He's under it now. Makes the catch and it's one away.

401
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,000
So a checked swing by Davis results in a fly ball to center.

402
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:10,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wes-parker/>Wes Parker</a> coming up now. Fly to the left. Wes hitting two-ninety with four homers and forty-nine runs batted in.

403
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:15,000
One away. The Dodgers scored four times in the second. The big blows. Triples by Yeager with the bases loaded.

404
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:23,000
And a triple by Doug Rowe to drive in Yeager. First pitch comes inside and low. One ball and no strikes.

405
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:29,000
One-oh the count. Ball game is in the third inning here in St. Louis.

406
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Now the pitch. Fast ball low and inside. Ball two. Two balls. No strikes.

407
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:53,000
A two-nothing count. Alright Parker waits. Palmer to the windup and his fast ball is away. Ball free. Three balls. No strikes.

408
00:45:53,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Three on Oto West. Low Palmer in his fourteenth game with the Cardinals. He's worked just twenty innings and allowed fifteen hits.

409
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Throws ball four too low. Parker on with a walk.

410
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:14,000
And the defense is KTAR Phoenix.

411
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:18,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a> is back now. Willie walked his first time up. Scored the first run of the game.

412
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:23,000
The Dodgers lead the Cardinals four to nothing as we play on the top of the third inning.

413
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Parker away from first. And Palmer's pitch a half swing and a bouncing ball towards second.

414
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Goes back to second for the out on Parker. Throw the first not in time. So a check swing by Crawford results in a force play.

415
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:49,000
Sizemore to Anderson. There are two outs now with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a> coming up.

416
00:46:49,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Valentine singled in the right center field. And then he came home to score on the triple by Yeager.

417
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Okay the stretch and the look and the throw to first base not in time.

418
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Now the pitch on the way. Swan have popped up down the left field line going for shortstop Anderson.

419
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:27,000
Third baseman Torrey. Anderson calls now and makes the catch. Side retired.

420
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:33,000
So the Dodgers gone in the third inning. No runs. No hits and the man left from the score at the end of two and a half innings to play.

421
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Cardinals nothing. Dodgers four.

422
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:50,000
Time now for another Toyota tale. Getting started.

423
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:57,000
I'm all Roman. Jack is all business. I even bargain for the wedding license. And I guess he's right.

424
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:04,000
It'll be tough getting started. But we've been saving up. So far we've got about six dollars.

425
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:09,000
Jack said we'll be driving a Toyota. Doesn't cost much to drive and cost less to buy.

426
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:13,000
The night we decided to get married. You know what he whispered in my ear.

427
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Toyota has the lowest price model of the ten best selling economy car.

428
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:39,000
See the lowest price model of the ten best selling economy cars at your nearby Toyota dealer.

429
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:45,000
I had done to the last half of the third inning with Anderson Palmer and Brock do up now against Doug Rowe.

430
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Rowe making his major league debut here today against the Cardinals. He already has chipped in with a run on a triple drove in a run.

431
00:48:53,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Doug Rowe long lanky Texan left hander on the mound. The name Rowe sticks in our mind because it came to us first from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/del-crandall/>Del Crandall</a> who has been a manager in the Dodger farm system.

432
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:19,000
In one of those spring training bull sessions at Burial Beach we kind of talked with Del and asked him about some of the young talent that he had seen the year before in the minor leagues and asked him about a pitcher who might make it to the big leagues shortly.

433
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:25,000
He said write it down. Doug Rowe will be there in a year or two. Well here's Doug Rowe and that was just about a year or so.

434
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Rowe's on the mound doing the work here now and trying to make an impression in his debut.

435
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Kerrball is in a little low one ball no strikes a 14 and three record this year at Albuquerque as he helped the Albuquerque club win the division championship.

436
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:53,000
Fastball grounded a third Valentine right there up with it and his play across is in time and we have one out. So one up and one down and Palmer the pitcher coming on.

437
00:49:53,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Rowe in his career is in his third year he began in 1970 two clubs Albuquerque rather Bakersfield and Spokane in 1971 Albuquerque and Spokane and this year Albuquerque and Los Angeles.

438
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:16,000
And his combined minor league record 38 wins and 15 losses and a combined earned run average of two point eight two.

439
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:30,000
So he has had a good minor league background first pitch outside ball one one on the count Palmer waiting Rob delivers a fastball swung on and missed one and one to sum it up on Rob.

440
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:48,000
They feel they say that he is sneaky fast has a pretty good stuff has good control. He walks 76 this year and 172 innings is a curve inside ball two two and one his first year out he walked only 18 batters and 113 innings.

441
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Next year 29 batters and 117 innings pitch on the way missed outside ball free so he's gone to three and one count was pitching opponent Lowe Palmer.

442
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Doug Rao R.A.U.

443
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Three and one count the Palmer with Brock on deck. Here's the pitch fly ball to right field Buckner fades back a few steps slips and falls makes the catch as he fell his face as he turned he slipped on the Astro turf and fell down and made a spectacular catcher the ball would have hit him right in the nose.

444
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:43,000
The Palmer out on a good play by Buckner floating over toward the line and as he backed up a step his feet went out from under him it is very wet in the outfield and the players were the rubber cleats on the shoes and they slipped and gave way with Billy but he's still able to make the play.

445
00:51:43,000 --> 00:52:01,000
Well quite a play by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-buckner/>Billy Buckner</a> has a success story. Union 76 now sells over a million gallons of low lead regular 76 every day. Here is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lou-brock/>Lou Brock</a> at bat he grounded out his first time up the only hit against Rao Brown single a double rather by Simmons Brock grounded out his first time up.

446
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Here's a pitch first strike going one.

447
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:22,000
So Doug Rao in his third year professional baseball has arrived on the Major League scene fastball is high ball one one on one one ball one strike with two outs.

448
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Third inning Dodgers lead four to nothing.

449
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Now the wind up and fetch Brock takes low inside ball two and it's two and one.

450
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:52,000
The Dodgers of course are well stocked with left hand pitchers now they have downing hosting and John and the starting rotation Brewer Rickard and Paranaski in the bullpen is a fly ball in the center field Davis right distracts weights under it.

451
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:57,000
Well he pops the glove makes the catch in the side retired one two three.

452
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:06,000
So they're all gone in the third and the score at the end of free innings of play Dodgers four and the Cardinals nothing. It's great being away from the grind for a few days.

453
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:15,000
That's why every weekend is something to celebrate. Make this weekend coming up something really special. The Dodgers are playing on television this weekend.

454
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:24,000
Why not have a few friends over to watch the game. Of course nothing goes better with a good game of baseball on TV and a good cold glass of Olympia beer.

455
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:32,000
So make sure you have plenty stacked up in the refrigerator. A guy can really work up a thirst watching those Dodgers hustle on a hot day.

456
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:43,000
So it takes a beer like only to handle a real baseball first only has the light beer flavor and mellow taste that really matches the greatness of the Dodgers.

457
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:58,000
So enjoy the Dodgers on TV this weekend but let your thirst enjoy the game too with a tall glass of only good and cold. It's a good idea when you're watching TV to take only along Olympia beer.

458
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:11,000
I was set to go into the fourth inning more play here spinning. All right Jerry. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a> will start it off with a Dodger leading four to nothing.

459
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:31,000
It's Russell Yeager and Rao right hander all Palmer's fastball over for a strike on one no balls in one strike.

460
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Palmer bounces a curve ball in the dirt and it goes to the screen and the count one ball and one strike. Russell was walked intentionally in the second inning. The wild pitch necessitated that.

461
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:55,000
And then Yeager tripled home three and in round his debut at the bat triple home Yeager one one pitch to Russell fastball filed away off to the right out of play.

462
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:24,000
One and two one to pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a> is inside and it got him hit by the fastball and it got him on the left arm and Russell tried not to rub but that thing really hurt and he got about 30 feet from home plate and he suddenly bent over and grabbed his left arm.

463
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Now straightens up and walks to first. Bill was complaining about a tender area in the left arm.

464
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:40,000
Not too long ago and boy he got it only this time it's above the elbow.

465
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,000
Time out for the moment.

466
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:51,000
I'm right on the bicep.

467
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Here is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a> he tripled in the second inning.

468
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Russell hops off the bag Palmer look over there. Low ready and delivers and Yeager bunting foul and bunch it right into the cardinal dugout.

469
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:15,000
He was around to bun that fastball took off up and in. He just did get out of the way while bunting it at the same time.

470
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:20,000
For nothing Dodgers were in the fourth inning.

471
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:32,000
Torrey plays up a step inside the bag at third. Palmer at the belt looks at Russell Yeager's bunting again and fouls it and a count on to how soon and how quickly forget.

472
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:43,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a> comes up with a base is loaded in the second inning and triples home three and a mob of in a dugout. Second time up the bunting.

473
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:49,000
Oh and to see what they do with the egg is now a Tory goes back to a normal depth.

474
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Palmer a look over at Russell low already and delivers breaking ball is waved out in Miss strike three.

475
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Olympia beer happy to send it to you on this.

476
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:10,000
See I was going to say Fourth of July weekend but it's Labor Day it's just so hard to believe that it's come up Labor Day.

477
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:15,000
September the second.

478
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:25,000
And now we're going to see how fastball is going to go to Rowe.

479
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Rowe tripled in his big league debut left hand batter takes the fastball high ball one one and all on deck Lee Lacey.

480
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:49,000
Russell hops off the bag held on by Simmons a throw over there not in time. Dodgers did all the scoring in the second inning Yeager tripled home three and then route tripled home Yeager.

481
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Here's the one oh pitch Russell fell and I think he was going to go on the pitch and account one and one.

482
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:02,000
There is a damp area about eight feet or so off the bag at first base.

483
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:12,000
That's where Simmons almost fell on his head when he doubled there's a similar area just in front and around the bag at second where Dick Stella almost fell down.

484
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,000
No one one pitch high and outside ball to two and one.

485
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:21,000
Well we saw <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a> come in on his landing gear and right field to handle that fly ball.

486
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,000
So it's treacherous going.

487
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:32,000
But boy have you saw the rain that came pouring down here just marvel at the idea they're playing it all at 2 1 pitch low and inside ball three.

488
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:41,000
The Rao has to count his way three and one.

489
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Montreal Cincinnati Philadelphia Atlanta Twilight night New York Houston tonight San Francisco Pittsburgh tonight.

490
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:54,000
One other game going in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1972/overview/>National League</a> the Cubs leading San Diego four to nothing in the sixth inning.

491
00:58:54,000 --> 00:59:01,000
Boston five Kansas City one top of the fifth Yankees two to one over the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-white-sox/1972/overview/>Chicago White Sox</a> in the top of the six.

492
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:14,000
The pitcher out way outside ball for his three to Cleveland leading Minnesota in the top of the fifth and Milwaukee Texas Baltimore California Detroit Oakland tonight.

493
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:28,000
Lee Lacey coming up with runners at first and second and one out Rick Fokker's loosening up in the Cardinal bullpen.

494
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,000
So a hit batter and a walk.

495
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,000
The Rao has come up to the plate twice in the big leagues.

496
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,000
He has a triple a run batted in on a walk.

497
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:46,000
And now here's Lacey Lacey single the right and struck out one for two.

498
00:59:46,000 --> 01:00:03,000
Breaking ball is high to Lacey ball one and Jutzi asking for time goes out to talk to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lowell-palmer/>Lowell Palmer</a>.

499
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:13,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a>y comes in from third to talk to Palmer so time out one ball no strikes to count.

500
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:22,000
Fourth inning four runs four hits for the Dodgers no runs one hit for the Cardinals that was a double by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a>.

501
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:43,000
Palmer's fastball in there for a strike Lacey one and one Rick Fokker's the left hander throwing back a Palmer one and one Russell a big lead at second base is known to throw to the Palmer still turns and bluffs a throw.

502
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Russell at second row at first one out Bill taking a good lead to one one pitch Lacey in the dirt smothered nicely by Jutzi and out to get at his Palmer as Jutzi pushed it out in front of the plate.

503
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Two and one <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a> started he only went an inning in the third.

504
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:12,000
He was charged with the four runs and the four hits.

505
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Palmer right foot on the rubber another look at Russell and the pitch to Lacey a fastball fouled away and it's two and two.

506
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:45,000
One out in the fourth Dodgers for Cardinals nothing third game of the four game series. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-singer/>Bill Singer</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/reggie-cleveland/>Reggie Cleveland</a> tomorrow warm up time 1055 game time 1115 to fastball as a bare handed attempt by Palmer he slows it down Anderson throws to first and gets him.

507
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:56,000
Nice try by Palmer in bare handing the ball he slowed it down and Anderson got his man so the play went one six three instead of being a base hit up the middle.

508
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:01,000
That brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a>.

509
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:19,000
Buckner is fouled out and grounded out over to

510
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:26,000
pitch to Buckner is driven to center field Melendez comes up and makes the catch.

511
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:34,000
The buckner hits the ball hard but at the center fielder he goes over three the Dodgers lead to and at the end of three and a half innings Dodgers for Cardinals nothing.

512
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:46,000
There's at least one tire dealer who thinks the only good tire sale is one that offers a tire you'd probably buy even if it wasn't on sale and that tire dealer is your union 76 dealer.

513
01:02:46,000 --> 01:03:04,000
The Dodgers are now participating union 76 stations in the Los Angeles area are showing their spirit by having a sale on their best selling tire the union 76 three star it's called the best seller tire sale by two three star tires and save between 10 and 20 dollars.

514
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:22,000
It's only necessary if you use a union 76 credit card union 76 best selling three star tires are made with four full flies of polyester court in modern 78 series design even before the best seller tire sale three stars with the least expensive four fly polyester

515
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:36,000
court tire sold by union 76 and now the best seller is an even better deal visit your union 76 dealer during his best seller tires sale.

516
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:53,000
A dozen 15 pound fully cooked bone and hams from farmer john among the hundreds of gifts coming your way at fan appreciation night a gift certificate for two dozen San Lorenzo roses for $100 union oil gift scripts coming your way and for $25

Those are many more gifts on fan appreciation night Wednesday September 27 at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a> Dodgers home on Monday double header with the Reds five o'clock starting time in the

518
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:32,000
out of gate and the turnstiles open at three hope to see a <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a> Labor Day evening five o'clock for players many. All right Jerry <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-sizemore/>Ted Sizemore</a> <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a> and Joe Tory will test Doug Rao the second time around Sizemore who came into the game with a 400 batting average against the Dodgers grounded a short in his first trip against Rao.

519
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:43,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-singer/>Bill Singer</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/reggie-cleveland/>Reggie Cleveland</a> tomorrow warm up 1055 game time 1115 and remember the telecast will be on Channel 9.

520
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:49,000
And of course like all Dodger games on KFI and the Dodger radio network.

521
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:55,000
Sizemore 0 for 1 Rao fussing with the laces on his right shoes so time out for the moment.

522
01:04:55,000 --> 01:05:05,000
In fact he has a tongue depressor and he is scraping dirt out to clean up the spikes to allow him to get some traction.

523
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:12,000
Now we're ready.

524
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:26,000
The Cardinals play a Labor Day double header and their double header will start at 11 a.m.

525
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:31,000
Your size more now the right hand hitting second baseman Rao's pitches popped in the air around the plate.

526
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:37,000
Yeager throws his helmet away and in foul ground makes the catch.

527
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:44,000
The Sizemore fouls out one away and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a> the batter.

528
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:58,000
Carbo popped a short in the first inning 0 for 1.

529
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,000
Left hand to Rao's curveball over for a strike on one.

530
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:06,000
There's a fellow in the press box named <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-cunningham/>Joe Cunningham</a> who played first base in the outfield of the Cardinals not too many years ago.

531
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:20,000
You might remember Joe but every time I see Joe or hear his name or read of him I always think he's one of the few men I know who was just about hit by a tornado and got away cheaply enough.

532
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:24,000
The strike one pitch on the way low to Carbo 1 and 1.

533
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:34,000
Joe was living in an apartment house a small apartment house in St. Louis while a member of the Cardinals and he was at home reading his Bible.

534
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:38,000
Then the house was hit by a tornado and just demolished.

535
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,000
Pitched to Carbo low ball to 2 and 1.

536
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:47,000
But Cunningham just walked through it okay.

537
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:52,000
Boy they have them those twisters in and around St. Louis.

538
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:57,000
The 2-1 pitch Carbo takes a strike 2 and 2.

539
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:07,000
One out bottom of the fourth the Dodgers leading 4 to nothing they hit the Cardinals with a twister in the second inning when they piled up 4.

540
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:22,000
Left hand to Rao delivers missing outside ball 3, 3 and 2.

541
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:28,000
Doug Rao making his major league debut the 3-2 pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a> is swung on and missed strike 3.

542
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:33,000
That's the first strike out for Rao he is not an overpowering type pitcher.

543
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:42,000
He's got two out in the fourth inning and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a>y coming up.

544
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Torrey fouled out to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wes-parker/>Wes Parker</a> he looked like he leaned over the plate to go after a change up and popped it up.

545
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Rao into the wind up Doug delivers fastball grounded to Lacey Lee up with it jams on the brakes going to his right throws him out.

546
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:04,000
And so for Doug Rao he's just sailing along nicely that's eight in a row.

547
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:10,000
And he has faced only 13 batters in four innings one above the minimum that would be the double by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a>.

548
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,000
And at the end of four Dodgers 4 Cardinals nothing.

549
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:18,000
Farmer John is a great one for predicting oh not pen and predicting but other kinds.

550
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:26,000
And his latest prediction strictly guesswork he admits is that there will be more people staying home over this Labor Day than on the freeways.

551
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,000
Ask him why and he'll say well people are getting smarter.

552
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:38,000
And then he'll add the smartest of all are the ones that not only stay home but have a supply of his Farmer John wieners to make staying home more enjoyable.

553
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:46,000
Well now maybe Farmer John's slightly biased but his all meat wieners do have a wild and wonderful Western flavor all their own.

554
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:53,000
You see Farmer John smokes his wieners over native Western wood until a good Western flavor reaches from tip to tip.

555
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Farmer John uses only natural herbs and spices to no artificial seasoning.

556
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:03,000
And he makes his wieners with only finest freshest eastern corn fed pork and fresh lean juicy homegrown beef.

557
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:12,000
So if you're a stay at home or Labor Day enjoy the weekend more with Farmer John wieners regular size and the 10 inch extra longs called Dodger Dogs.

558
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:19,000
To the fifth inning with the Dodgers leading the Cardinals 4 to nothing.

559
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:23,000
Four runs four hits. The Cardinals no runs one hit.

560
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:28,000
The Dodgers will have <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wes-parker/>Wes Parker</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a>.

561
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:37,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a> at the plate.

562
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:47,000
Davis takes a strike in the count 0 and 1.

563
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:59,000
0 and 1 to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a>.

564
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Right hand to Farmer's fastball line drive just fair inside the right field foul line and down into the Cardinal bullpen.

565
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:10,000
And the ball didn't come out from under the bench and Willie just keeps on going.

566
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:15,000
And by the time they get it back in he's a third with a triple.

567
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:20,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a> drives one into the Cardinal bullpen.

568
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:28,000
I think the Cardinals are going to maintain that the ball was unretrievable and therefore it should be a ground rule double.

569
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a>y the captain is appealing to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-williams/>Billy Williams</a>.

570
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:39,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-williams/>Billy Williams</a> wants to talk to Mel Steiner the plate umpire.

571
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:45,000
And now Red Chains comes out and they will send <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a> back to second base.

572
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:53,000
Evidently the ball went underneath the bench and ruled a ground rule double.

573
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:59,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a> goes back to second with his double he's one for three.

574
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:06,000
So the Dodgers have five hits two triples and a double.

575
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:18,000
With nobody out West Park of the batter West fly to left and walk he's 0 for 1.

576
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lowell-palmer/>Lowell Palmer</a> at the bell checks Davis works in the dirt ball one.

577
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:31,000
Single game tomorrow to conclude the series in the road trip and the Dodgers come home tomorrow evening.

578
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:39,000
For the Twilight night doubleheader with Cincinnati remember that starts at five with the auto gates and the turnstiles opening at three.

579
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Parker takes a strike in the count one and one and then night games Tuesday and Wednesday nights with Cincinnati.

580
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Then after the Reds take a hike Atlanta will be in for two on Thursday and Friday and Houston Saturday Sunday and Monday night.

581
01:11:55,000 --> 01:12:04,000
Parker pops one up at shortstop Wayne Anderson is calling waiting makes the catch one away.

582
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:21,000
The battle will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a>.

583
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:29,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a> has walked and hit into a force play.

584
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:39,000
Farmer at the belt and the pitch to Crawford filed away on one.

585
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,000
Two notes about home runs.

586
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:48,000
First of all the Cardinal pitching staff has not allowed a home run in their last 76 innings.

587
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Although they've allowed a couple of triples today.

588
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,000
Here's the strike one pitch high and away one and one.

589
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:59,000
The other home run note the Dodgers have hit at least one home run in every park in the league except here in St. Louis.

590
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:07,000
They've not hit one.

591
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,000
The one one pitch to Crawford high ball to two and one.

592
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:16,000
So that'll be a little added interest tomorrow because the fellow who leads the Cardinals and home runs allowed is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/reggie-cleveland/>Reggie Cleveland</a>.

593
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:22,000
He's allowed 18 so it would figure that if the Dodgers are going to hit one here at all it might be against Cleveland.

594
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:32,000
The two one pitch Crawford filed it away to and to.

595
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:38,000
One out in the fifth inning Dodgers leading the Cardinals for another course for the Dodgers to draw blanks here is not news.

596
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,000
They had only one here last year.

597
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:46,000
Jimmy Lefevre hit it to and to the counter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a>.

598
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:57,000
Palmer at the bell to look at Davis fastball to Crawford just outside he started to swing and held up three and two to Willie <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a> on deck.

599
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:03,000
Dodgers dispatched <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a> in the second inning when they touched him before a Palmer has been in there since.

600
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:09,000
And Doug Roussell I just one hit in four innings in his major league debut pitch in the dirt for ball for.

601
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:16,000
The Crawford the first Davis at second Valentine to battle with one out in the fifth inning.

602
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:21,000
The Dodgers have received four walks.

603
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:26,000
In fact five walks.

604
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:33,000
One intentionally.

605
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:43,000
Davis at second Crawford at first one away <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a> singled and filed out.

606
01:14:43,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Palmer heaves a sigh now low already right hander delivers fastball filed away on one.

607
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,000
Palmer in relief of Durham.

608
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Four nothing Dodgers fifth inning one away on one account of Valentine <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a> on deck.

609
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:23,000
Next one is high and inside one ball one strike.

610
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:28,000
Jutsey in a crouch behind the plate wigwags a couple of signs out but Valentine not ready and backs out.

611
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:32,000
The time call by Mel Steiner.

612
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:52,000
And now already Palmer at the bell to look at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-davis/>Willie Davis</a> one one pitch to Valentine high and inside with a fastball up around the chin ball to two and one to Bobby.

613
01:15:52,000 --> 01:16:00,000
Now the two one pitch to Valentine fastball line drive at Anderson over to second base for the double play.

614
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:11,000
The six four double play Valentine hit the ball right on the button but right at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dwayne-anderson/>Dwayne Anderson</a> no runs one hit one left at the end of four and a half Dodgers four Cardinals nothing.

615
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:19,000
Friends Toyota's got something new for you a car that fits into the young family price range while a young family fits into the car.

Let's pause for station identification this the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1972/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a> radio network.

621
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:31,000
The moment that you buy off in the day KTR Phoenix.

622
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:51,000
Bottom of the fifth inning Dodgers for Cardinals nothing Doug Rowe in his major league debut has allowed one hit that was a double in the second inning.

623
01:17:51,000 --> 01:18:00,000
The double was to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> and Ted is coming up to the plate now to start it off line drive up the alley and left center back in the second inning.

624
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Rowan to the wind up and delivers and the first one is outside ball one.

625
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:10,000
Brows retired eight in a row since the double.

626
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:18,000
Now the one old pitch on the way fastball for a strike at the knees one and one.

627
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Dodgers for Cardinals nothing bottom of the fifth inning third game of the four game series the 11th meeting of the year between the two clubs a change is low ball to Dodgers have an edge of one six out of 10.

628
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:38,000
This is the 10th game of a road trip and their five and four on the trip.

629
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:44,000
The two one pitch fastball laced to right Buckner comes in and over and makes the catch for the out.

630
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:51,000
The Simmons lines to right one away <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/luis-melendez/>Luis Melendez</a> the center fielder coming up.

631
01:18:51,000 --> 01:19:07,000
Say you know your home team enjoys the finest when you bring home the bacon and other park products from Farmer John Melendez grounded the third in the second inning Luis awful one.

632
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:19,000
And even with the bag at third the pitch to Melendez popped in the air. It's West Parker calling near first base and Justin fair ground making the catch for the out.

633
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:20,000
But quickly.

634
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:25,000
Brows gotten two more outs in the fifth inning retired 10 in a row.

635
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:35,000
How downing finished up last night's game by retiring 16 in a row.

636
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:43,000
Here is Skip Jutsey rookie catcher up from the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AA/1972/overview/>American Association</a> and he laces one in the left center base said Robert over but he can't cut it off.

637
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:49,000
It goes to the wall and in the second base goes Jutsey and that will be his first big league hit.

638
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:57,000
Skip struck out three times last night and now double so he's one for five.

639
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:03,000
One of the reasons we have so many extra base hits today the Dodgers have two triples and a double and the Cardinals have two doubles.

640
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,000
It is not just the fact that the ball hits the Astro.

641
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:11,000
The outfielders are running very gingerly because the Astro is wet and slippery.

642
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,000
So the combination means lots of base hits.

643
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:22,000
We've had seven hits in the game and four of them for extra bases.

644
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,000
Here is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dwayne-anderson/>Dwayne Anderson</a>.

645
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:29,000
Anderson was sitting five hundred against the Dodgers nine for eighteen.

646
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:37,000
He grounded out in the third inning.

647
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:41,000
The pitch to Dwayne is taken for a strike.

648
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Jerry McNerney comes in from the Cardinal bullpen and he's now in the dugout.

649
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:51,000
So perhaps McNerney will be the hitter for a law Palmer.

650
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:59,000
The next one a strike and the count on two.

651
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:07,000
No balls and two strikes.

652
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:12,000
Rau left foot on the rubber checking McNerney is out on deck.

653
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:16,000
The pitch to Anderson inside ball one Rau is starting to walk up the mound.

654
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,000
He thought he had one.

655
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:23,000
One and two to Anderson he hit sharply but right at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a> in the third inning.

656
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Four nothing Dodgers with two out bottom of the fifth.

657
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:28,000
It's a lot cooler in St. Louis now.

658
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:37,000
Here's the one two pitch to Anderson that's popped foul off first and out of play.

659
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:42,000
I was listening to a weatherman from New York, no from Washington D.C.

660
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:48,000
giving a national weather report for this Labor Day weekend.

661
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:56,000
I mean it's terrible everywhere except in the far west.

662
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:00,000
Maybe it's just as well maybe it'll keep a lot of people home and cut down the accident rate.

663
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:03,000
Maybe.

664
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Here's the one two pitch Anderson drives it to right Buckner going back it's over his head and he backhands the ball.

665
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Good play by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a> on that line drive.

666
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:20,000
No runs one hit a man left at second base and at the end of five Dodgers four Cardinals nothing.

667
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:26,000
America is one of the few countries in the world that has a special day to honor the working man.

668
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:27,000
Labor Day.

669
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:30,000
It's your day off because you earned it.

670
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:36,000
Well can you think of anything that goes better with a day off than a tall cool glass of Olympia beer?

671
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:41,000
So naturally you want to plan ahead and make sure there's plenty of ole on hand this weekend.

672
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:46,000
Just in case some of your friends drop by for a cold glass of their favorite beer.

673
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:51,000
Olympia beer is brewed in Tumwater Washington from naturally pure artesian water.

674
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Pop open an ole pour it and watch that glass work up a sweat.

675
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,000
Here's a beer taste that gets right to a man's thirst.

676
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:04,000
A refreshingly light beer flavor that happens glass after glass after glass.

677
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:08,000
Because Olympia uses only choice barley malt and select hops.

678
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,000
And they age their beer long enough to make it taste just right.

679
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:15,000
It's a light beer for the man who works hard for the man who earns his day off.

680
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:20,000
So pour yourself an ole and enjoy the good taste of a good beer.

681
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:34,000
Fan appreciation day, September 27th among the gifts of glamorous box trim mink toque from Harry Brown Furze Beverly Hills.

682
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:40,000
S&L, Yamaha, and Huntington Park has donated a Yamaha 125 Enduro.

683
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:44,000
There will be two 1973 season box seats given away.

684
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:49,000
A beautiful Gerard Paragon new quartz calendar watch from B.D. Howes and Son.

685
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:57,000
These among the many fine prizes at fan appreciation night, September 27th. Plan to be there.

686
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Alright, let's go to the action. Here's Ben.

687
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:06,000
It's 4-0 Dodgers in the sixth inning. They brought the little baseball buggy out of the Cardinal bullpen and saluted Superman.

688
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:16,000
A man got out dressed in a Superman regalia from his home on the daily planet. Clark Kent arrived here as Superman.

689
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:23,000
Reminds us Chris Canazaro wears a Superman t-shirt underneath his Dodger uniform.

690
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:34,000
In fact, you know, an enterprising writer on a rainy day, one of those things, could write a kind of interesting funny story about some of the t-shirts worn by players.

691
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:41,000
Russell bows it back on one. Canazaro wears a Superman t-shirt.

692
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:49,000
There's a chocolate drink called Yahoo and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a> has that and a lot of players have Yahoo t-shirts that they wear.

693
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:54,000
Here's the strike one pitch to Russell that's popped out off to the right out of play.

694
01:24:54,000 --> 01:25:00,000
Bill Grabarcovitz has a <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/tennessee-titans/1972/overview/>Houston Oilers</a> t-shirt.

695
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:07,000
Oh, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-garvey/>Steve Garvey</a> has a lot of stuff from Michigan State still left over from his days on campus.

696
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:16,000
Here's a strike two pitch to Russell and he has to get underneath the high inside fastball one and two.

697
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:19,000
Now there are some dandies.

698
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:26,000
Then of course, there's the superstitious player who's on some kind of a streak who refuses to wear anything but the same uniform.

699
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:33,000
Fastball bow back. Of course, he gets a little ripe after a while. He winds himself in the corner.

700
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:39,000
We've seen guys on a long hitting streak and they're going to wear the same t-shirt. You don't want a whole road trip or something.

701
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:42,000
One and two to the count of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a>.

702
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:49,000
Palmer delivers and a ground ball wide at third. Spirit nicely by Torrey and Joe throws him out. Good play.

703
01:25:49,000 --> 01:26:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a> losing a hit. One away and the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a>.

704
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:12,000
Yeager has tripled and struck out. He's one for two.

705
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:17,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lowell-palmer/>Lowell Palmer</a> delivers in the dirt ball one, one and all.

706
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:21,000
It's all about enterprising riders. What a touching story.

707
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:28,000
A heartbreaking story came out of the Olympics about the two young sprinters who were under a false impression as to when the race was to be run

708
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,000
and blew the whole thing four years of hard work down the drain.

709
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Wow. The pitch to Yeager's low ball two, two and all.

710
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:41,000
That'll probably be one of the top sports stories of the year and of many, many years to come.

711
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:47,000
The frustration of four years down the drain, the wrong starting time. You read about it?

712
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:55,000
Pitch to Yeager's low ball three. And I loved it. I don't know whether the column appeared in the Times today or what because it's syndicated.

713
01:26:55,000 --> 01:27:00,000
But did you read Jim Murray's column? It happened to be in today's paper here in St. Louis.

714
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:06,000
Here's the three-all pitch. Yeager takes a strike for in one.

715
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:13,000
He talked about coming to Munich, the world's biggest beer garden. He had some great line.

716
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:17,000
Here's the three-one pitch to Yeager. Low ball four.

717
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:23,000
Jim ended up the column taking a shot at the departing head of the Olympics, Avery Brundage.

718
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:30,000
It's a pretty good bitter line to be used, I guess, against a lot of people.

719
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:39,000
It said, quote, he always went to the heart of the matter and gave it a coronary.

720
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:45,000
One away. Here is Doug Rowe, Dodger leading four to nothing in the sixth inning.

721
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:54,000
I'm reading a great book on George Kaufman of playwright. He had marvelous quotes and lines attributed to him.

722
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:58,000
Right hand to Palmer, a look over at Yeager and a pitch to Rowe. He takes a strike.

723
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:02,000
Oh, and one. And Yeager hit that booby-trapped area and almost fell to his knees.

724
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:09,000
And he's going to go out there and try and scrape the dirt around like a cat in a sandbox and see if he can't even things out.

725
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:13,000
But boy, that's a bad spot. Oh, and one to count.

726
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:21,000
Somebody was recommending a doctor to Kaufman. He said, listen, the only kind of doctor I want is a guy who, if he's not examining me, he's home studying medicine.

727
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:29,000
There's a guy who's working at his trade. There's a bunch to Palmer. He makes his play to size more and the sacrifices in the books.

728
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:34,000
Two down. Yeager is at second base and the batter is Lee Lacey. Dodger is leading four to nothing in the sixth.

729
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:41,000
It's dark and cold. And there's a threat of rain all around us.

730
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:49,000
The rain stopped at about 1.15 local time. So it is now we've had a dry spell of about two hours.

731
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:55,000
The weatherman said we'd have a dry spell between showers of about three to four hours.

732
01:28:55,000 --> 01:29:01,000
Well, apparently we still have a period of grace and we can keep going.

733
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:10,000
Yeager at second with two out on the sixth. Four to nothing Dodgers and Lacey trying to pick him up.

734
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:17,000
Lacey is single struck out and grounded out. Palmer took a hit away from him, barehanding and slapping one down in the fourth inning.

735
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:29,000
Lacey takes low ball one.

736
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:39,000
Here's a one-oh pitch to Lacey. Fung on and missed one and one. Kaufman had a line about a dreamy actress who was in a terrible play and she just thought everything was great.

737
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:45,000
He said about her, you heard of somebody living in a fool's paradise? She has a duplex there.

738
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:58,000
The pitch to Lacey is outside ball two, two and one. Marvelous. Two and one to count.

739
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:05,000
Palmer at the bell. The look back at Yeager. Fastball to Lacey. It's hit the right carball coming up. Faking. It's going to land in front of him for a hit.

740
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:11,000
Yeager not fooled by the fake with two out comes in to score. Down to second goes Lacey.

741
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:19,000
I don't know why carball was faking a catch with two out. There's no reason for Yeager to be fooled by any fake. He just has to come.

742
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:30,000
He scored standing up and on the play at the plate. Lacey took advantage and moved to second base and the Dodgers lead five to nothing.

743
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:39,000
Say be sure to visit your nearby Toyota dealer. See his Toyota Mark II for people who want the good sense of an economy car without giving up luxury and comfort.

744
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:48,000
Buckner is fouled out, grounded out, lined out. He's 0 for 3. Palmer delivers. Fastball low. Ball one.

745
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:56,000
So Lacey goes two for four. Picks up an RBI.

746
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:06,000
Here's the 1-0 pitch to Buckner. Fastball swung on and missed one and one.

747
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:15,000
Dodgers five. They're trying to make a dismal day even drearier for St. Louis. The Cardinals no runs, two hits.

748
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:22,000
The 1-1 pitch to Buckner. Fastball fouled away.

749
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:37,000
Ray Baer begins to throw in the Cardinal bullpen.

750
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:51,000
The next one to Buckner is hit foul, a third and out of play, so it's still one and two.

751
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:58,000
Two down, six inning. Dodgers five and the Cardinals nothing. The 1-2 pitch. Buckner hits the ground ball to size more.

752
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:04,000
Ted can wait for it and throws to first and that's that. The Dodgers get a run on a hit and leave a man.

753
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:08,000
At the end of five and a half. Dodgers five. Cardinals nothing.

754
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:14,000
As you listen to these programs about our history, it's easy to see how much our country has changed.

755
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:19,000
But as a people, we're not so different from the Americans who lived a hundred or two hundred years ago.

756
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:26,000
We've retained an outlook that our forefathers had. At Union Oil, we like to call that outlook the Spirit of 76.

757
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:32,000
And part of the Spirit of 76 is the way Americans have always insisted on getting their money's worth.

758
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:39,000
We know all about that at Union Oil. And through the years, we've been researching and improving Union 76 gasoline

759
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:43,000
to keep up with changes in automobiles and driving conditions.

760
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:51,000
We make Super 76 and regular 76 so you go with the Spirit. That means you get fast starting, quick warmups.

761
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:59,000
What we call spirited performance. The gasoline you buy at your 76 station are as efficient and hard working as we can make them.

762
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:13,000
Because we try to give you your money's worth. It's part of our spirit. The Spirit of 76 lives at Union Oil.

763
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:18,000
Bottom of the sixth inning, the Dodgers five, the Cardinals nothing. King of the road in the background.

764
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:22,000
That's the way Doug Rowe has been through five, allowing just two hits.

765
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:25,000
A one out double to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> in the second inning.

766
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:31,000
Then after retiring ten in a row, a two out double to Skip Jutzi in the fifth inning.

767
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:38,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jose-cruz/>Jose Cruz</a> will bat for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lowell-palmer/>Lowell Palmer</a>. The Cruz will be followed by Brock and then Sizemore.

768
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:50,000
And Palmer, who picked up for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a>, will now lead.

769
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Palmer went four and two third innings and allowed just one run. And now here's Cruz hitting for Palmer.

770
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:06,000
Jose hitting two fifteen. He has one home run, eighteen runs batted in.

771
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:14,000
Doug Rowe looks in for a sign. Rick Fulkers, F-O-L-K-E-R-S, a left handed throwing in the Cardinal bullpen.

772
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:17,000
So the Dodgers will look at him in the seventh inning.

773
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:29,000
Doug Rowe ready, delivers, Cruz takes high. Ball one, one and oh.

774
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:38,000
Cruz is from Puerto Rico. He has a brother who's an outfielder with the Cardinal organization.

775
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:50,000
In fact, they were both in spring training together. Jose made it. His brother didn't.

776
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:57,000
One ball and no strikes to count. Here comes Rowe, Cruz, late and fouls it away into the seats off third.

777
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:05,000
And the count one ball, one strike.

778
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:09,000
The Dodgers got four in the second inning with the base loaded and one out.

779
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Yeager tripled everybody home and then Rowe tripled home Yeager.

780
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:18,000
The one one pitch, Cruz waves at a curve and doesn't get it. One and two.

781
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:34,000
Dodgers added one more in the sixth inning at the expense of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lowell-palmer/>Lowell Palmer</a> on a walk sacrifice and Lacey's single to right.

782
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:39,000
Doug Rowe's one two pitch is popped in here foul off to the left of the plate.

783
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:45,000
Ballantine has a shot at the ball and makes the catch under the vocal guidance of catcher <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a>.

784
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:54,000
One away and the batter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lou-brock/>Lou Brock</a>.

785
01:35:54,000 --> 01:36:10,000
Brock has grounded the short and flied the left over to Brock came into the game at three oh four.

786
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:23,000
The pitch to Brock low and away ball one one oh.

787
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:28,000
One and all the count.

788
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:36,000
Rowe ready and delivers and is a drive to center. Davis moving over to his left is under it and makes the catch.

789
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:40,000
The two down in the sixth inning.

790
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:45,000
That brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-sizemore/>Ted Sizemore</a> who has grounded the short and filed out.

791
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:49,000
Rowe is throwing strikes. That's the big thing.

792
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:57,000
He is not overpowering but he's been putting the ball apparently just where he wants to and that ball must be moving.

793
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:01,000
And so far he's had everything his way.

794
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:14,000
Sizemore over to Rowe delivers and down goes Teddy underneath the high fastball one and all.

795
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:21,000
Rowe to the wind up Doug's one oh pitch change squirted off the end of the bat foul and over to the cardinal dugout.

796
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:34,000
So at the high inside fastball Sizemore came back up the swinging and he was out in front on a change up one and one.

797
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:36,000
One ball and one strike.

798
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Rowe's next change is hit on the ground down to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a> and Russell throws him out.

799
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:49,000
So Doug Rowe in six innings in his major league debut is pitching a shutout and he's allowed just two hits.

800
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:53,000
And at the end of six Dodgers five Cardinals nothing.

801
01:37:53,000 --> 01:38:00,000
Everyone knows that baseball teams do a lot of traveling but maybe you don't realize that some of the sausage in your store puts in plenty of travel time too.

802
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:04,000
On your next visit to the meat department take a look at the sausage packages.

803
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:10,000
You'll see that a good deal of the sausage is shipped in from places up to a thousand miles and more away.

804
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:14,000
And it travels these many miles either frozen or in cold storage.

805
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:19,000
There's nothing wrong with this sausage but you'd agree that the fresher the sausage the better its flavor and color.

806
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:22,000
Now I'm talking about Farma John's sausage.

807
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:29,000
To assure freshness Farma John makes it right here in the west from eastern corn fed pork he dresses fresh in the west.

808
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,000
Farma John goes all out in seasoning too.

809
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Artificial seasonings aren't good enough for him.

810
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:42,000
He makes his sausage to an old time western recipe using only natural herbs and spices to give it the real flavor of the west.

811
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:46,000
Enjoy Farma John's sausage in skinless links or rolls mild and hot.

812
01:38:46,000 --> 01:39:05,000
It's the east and most in quality and the west and most in flavor.

813
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:36,000
Alright those from the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1972/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

814
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:42,000
So Bibby and Fulkers came over and Bibby was optioned out as was Fulkers.

815
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:48,000
He wound up a little rock where he won five and lost four and had an earned run average of three one six.

816
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:56,000
So the young left hander stepping in now as we go to play on the seventh inning and the Dodgers lead five nothing behind Rao.

817
01:39:56,000 --> 01:40:00,000
Doug has allowed just two hits to the Cardinals in six innings.

818
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,000
Davis waiting to pitch from the left hander high and tight ball one.

819
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:06,000
Willie doubled down the right field line in the fifth inning.

820
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:11,000
He's one for three lined out his first time up and then fly to center.

821
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:15,000
Five runs six hits for the Dodgers no runs two hits for the Cardinals.

822
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:21,000
Fulkers delivers a curve ball that's bounced foul past Gilliam and the count is one ball one strike.

823
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:28,000
The Cubs lead San Diego now six to nothing in the ninth inning.

824
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:34,000
Or is that an eight David.

825
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:38,000
Cleveland five and Minnesota three in the seventh inning.

826
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:45,000
Davis plays a high five ball down the right field corner and it's looking away foul ball and back beyond the bullpen.

827
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:51,000
So Davis hit an off speed pitch and pulled it away foul.

828
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:59,000
The only other game in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1972/overview/>National League</a> today San Diego at Chicago.

829
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:02,000
And make it eight to three in the ninth inning.

830
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:05,000
But we're having a mess with Western Union today so we can't be sure.

831
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:12,000
There's a fly ball to shallow left Anderson going out Cruz comes in the left fielder moves in and makes the catch for the.

832
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:19,000
So Davis flies out one away the batter will be Parker who has walked right out popped out.

833
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:30,000
So less over to Crawford on deck the Dodgers have only six hits today triples by Jaeger and Rao with a big blow.

834
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:34,000
Davis had a double Lacey said two singles.

835
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:40,000
The fly ball to center field Melinda is coming up a few steps and he's there to make the catch and we have to us.

836
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:45,000
This ball game moving around along with the seventh inning now with two away and here's Crawford at bat.

837
01:41:45,000 --> 01:42:00,000
Willie has walked twice rounded into a force out Crawford batting to thirty six playing left field.

838
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Now the windup and the pitch fastball to lower one ball no strikes.

839
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:15,000
Rich Holker's FOLKERS.

840
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:26,000
Now the pitch swollen and bounce foul to Gilliam in the first base line and it's a one one count now to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a>.

841
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:32,000
Dodger batting star Jaeger a bases loaded triple Doug Grau also tripled.

842
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:39,000
So the two youngsters in the lineup having a good day and also the third youngster Lee Lacey has two that.

843
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:50,000
Now the one one pitch curve is in there a strike called one and two one ball and two strikes to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a> in the seventh inning.

844
01:42:50,000 --> 01:43:02,000
Next pitch in the dirt bounces away to the left in the count to and to a jury afternoon but at least the rains have stayed away not allows to get the game in.

845
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:06,000
Weatherman says it'll clear tomorrow so we shouldn't have any weather problems.

846
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:21,000
Tomorrow's game on radio and television is a bouncing ball foul again to Gilliam to and to warm up time 10 55 on KFI the Dodger Radio Network and in the Los Angeles area.

847
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:28,000
K.H.J. Channel nine.

848
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:29,000
Here's the pitch.

849
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:47,000
Crawford it's a ground ball on the left field base it's only a little late on the other slams it by Torrey on the left and that's hit number seven for the Dodgers brings to bat Valentine who is one for three single the right last time up the line to shot at the shortstop Anderson and they turned it into a double play.

850
01:43:47,000 --> 01:44:00,000
Now it's about time for an only Olympia beer happy to be with you today from St. Louis.

851
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:07,000
Here's the look on the pitch to Valentine looked into centerfield that's going to drop for a base hit Crawford goes to second base and stops there.

852
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:16,000
So Valentine gets a second of the game a single to center to one and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a> at bat has walked and hit by a pitch and grounded out.

853
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:33,000
So bill over one batting to eighty seven for homers and 29 runs batted in had a key triple in last night's game in the second game the Dodgers split the double header now trying to make it two out of three against the Cardinals this year the Dodgers are six and four.

854
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:39,000
We have one left tomorrow warm up time 10 55.

855
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:55,000
Now the look check of the runner in the pitch on the way ground ball right back to the pitcher poker's as it throws in time in the side out Russell hit it hard but right back to the box no runs two hits and two left score at the end of six and a half innings Dodgers five Cardinals

856
01:44:55,000 --> 01:45:06,000
nothing time now for another Toyota tail shopping around.

857
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:10,000
Never knew I was so popular that I started pricing economy card.

858
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:14,000
I showed more hands today than an underdog running for office.

859
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:18,000
One guy practically promised me a diplomatic post.

860
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,000
It's like a political primary out there.

861
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:23,000
Everybody has a better price than everybody else.

862
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:26,000
You want to save yourself a lot of trouble.

863
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:27,000
Take it from me.

864
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Toyota has the lowest price model of the 10 best selling economy.

865
01:45:51,000 --> 01:46:00,000
The lowest price model of the 10 best selling economy cars at your nearby Toyota dealer.

866
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,000
Let's pause for station identification.

867
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:07,000
This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1972/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a> radio network.

868
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:17,000
This is KT AR Phoenix.

869
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:23,000
All right young Doug Ra ready to go to work to Carbo Torrey and Simmons here in the seventh inning.

870
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:30,000
Rao has allowed two hits to the Cardinals a double by Simmons in the second and a double by Jetsy in the fifth.

871
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:34,000
And here's Carbo at bat now struck out and popped out.

872
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:37,000
Rao has struck out one has not walked about.

873
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:41,000
He's been in complete control.

874
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:44,000
Now the young left hander all set to go to work.

875
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:48,000
Texas signed into the windup and the pitch on the way too high for a ball one.

876
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:59,000
Rao is working on a shutout and a strange note is that this year at Albuquerque he did not have a shutout.

877
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:05,000
Now the one oh pitch on the way foul back upstairs and it is strike one ball one.

878
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:09,000
Rao at Albuquerque won 14 games and lost three.

879
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,000
Earned run every three point five.

880
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:17,000
He had four complete games and 25 starts.

881
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:19,000
One one pitch on the way.

882
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:25,000
Carbo takes inside with a fastball two and one.

883
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:34,000
On deck <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a>y then Simmons Dodgers lead five to nothing in the seventh inning.

884
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:36,000
Rao ready delivers.

885
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:39,000
Carbo takes a strike two and two.

886
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:42,000
He got the outside corner with that one.

887
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:44,000
Two balls and two strikes.

888
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:50,000
The Dodgers after the debacle and they use the entire bullpen in Chicago trying to get another complete game.

889
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:53,000
Following that they have not had a pitching change.

890
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:56,000
Osteen Sutton and Downing have pitched complete games.

891
01:47:56,000 --> 01:48:02,000
There's a curve inside ball three he missed with a three and two.

892
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:05,000
So since Wednesday I've had to go to the bullpen before that was enough.

893
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:10,000
They used everyone in the bullpen in that game against the Cubs.

894
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:15,000
John was the starter and Mickelson, Paranowski, Strawler and Rick it all got in there.

895
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,000
Here's ball four high and inside he walked in.

896
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:26,000
So Rao gives up a walk to the leadoff man here in the seventh inning and here's Torrey at bat fouled out and grounded out.

897
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:31,000
The Dodgers of course at this stage of the game will keep a very close eye on Rao.

898
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:41,000
It's his first game here and he's pitched very well.

899
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:44,000
Now Torrey at bat, grounded out and fouled out.

900
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:52,000
Rao ready to work with the runner at first base out of a stretch for only the third time in the game and the first time with the man on first base.

901
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:53,000
Curve is a little high.

902
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:56,000
Ball one, one ball and no strikes.

903
01:48:56,000 --> 01:48:58,000
One and all to count.

904
01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:59,000
Rao working seventh inning.

905
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:03,000
Simmons on deck and Melendez to follow.

906
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:05,000
Here's the check and the pitch.

907
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:07,000
That curve is low ball too.

908
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:15,000
So all of a sudden now Rao into a little control trouble and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a> goes out to the mound to talk to him and the bullpen moves around.

909
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:17,000
Somebody begin to throw there.

910
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:29,000
The next time your car needs a loop job, take it to Union 76.

911
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:36,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-brewer/>Jim Brewer</a> is going to begin throwing in the Dodger bullpen.

912
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:38,000
And Rao now ready to work.

913
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,000
Two and all to count for Torrey.

914
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:41,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

915
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:46,000
Fastball low ball free and it's a three and all count.

916
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:53,000
Young Doug Rao sailing along in fine style and all of a sudden hitting a bad spot here.

917
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:55,000
Checks and looks in the pitch.

918
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:56,000
Torrey takes high.

919
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:58,000
He walked him on four.

920
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:03,000
So back to back walk here by Rao to begin the seventh inning.

921
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:08,000
And the batter now will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> and Valentine goes to the mound to talk to Rao.

922
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:12,000
The big thing about Rao's game today has been his control.

923
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:15,000
And now all of a sudden he is at a little wild streak.

924
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:18,000
He has a five run lead to work on, however.

925
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:21,000
Here's Simmons at bat, doubled and flied to right.

926
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:24,000
Melinda is on deck and Jutsey to follow.

927
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:31,000
And Brewer heating up in the Dodger bullpen.

928
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:33,000
All right, Rao waiting.

929
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:34,000
Yeager gives a sign.

930
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:36,000
Here's the look and the pitch on the way.

931
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,000
Curve strike on one.

932
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:43,000
So they came right in with the curve ball to Simmons and got it for the strike.

933
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,000
Brewer warming up in a hurry in left field.

934
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,000
Dodgers lead five to nothing.

935
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:49,000
Rao ready.

936
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:50,000
Checks and looks and here's the pitch.

937
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:52,000
Simmons a swing and a drive.

938
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:54,000
Backhanded by Valentine at third.

939
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,000
He saved a couple of runs.

940
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:02,000
A line drive and a backhand play by Valentine to take an extra base hit away from Simmons.

941
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:05,000
Bobby diving toward the line to backhand that one.

942
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:09,000
And that really helped Rao out of a tight spot.

943
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:17,000
Rao won out in the inning and here's Melinda at bat as Valentine backhanded the ball on the line.

944
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:23,000
One away and Melinda's at bat, rounded out and popped out.

945
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:26,000
Rao got a big assist there from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a>.

946
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:31,000
That ball was headed for the corner and a runner too.

947
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:34,000
Melinda is the center fielder hitting 253.

948
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:35,000
Rao's pitch.

949
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:37,000
And that was a fly ball down the right field line.

950
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:41,000
A throwing away foul that's going to be out of play down in the stands.

951
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:49,000
Strike one to Melinda.

952
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:51,000
Cardinal fans begin to make some noise.

953
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:55,000
A crowd of 9,237 out today.

954
01:51:55,000 --> 01:52:00,000
Held down because of the bad weather.

955
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:01,000
All right, waiting at the plate.

956
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:03,000
Melinda is with Jutzi on deck.

957
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:05,000
Here's Rao's pitch.

958
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:07,000
A foul away on the ground back of the plate.

959
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:10,000
Strike two, 0-2 the count.

960
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:15,000
Final score.

961
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:21,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/milt-pappas/>Milt Pappas</a> has pitched a no-hitter for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-cubs/1972/overview/>Chicago Cubs</a> against San Diego and beat them 8-0.

962
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:25,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/milt-pappas/>Milt Pappas</a> had no hitter.

963
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:30,000
That's the second in the league this year, both by Chicago pitching.

964
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:33,000
Burt Hooten pitched one against Philadelphia earlier in the year.

965
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:43,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/milt-pappas/>Milt Pappas</a> pitches a no-hitter.

966
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:52,000
Now the pitch inside for ball 2-2.

967
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:55,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/milt-pappas/>Milt Pappas</a> has been around a long time.

968
01:52:55,000 --> 01:53:02,000
Now gets his 197th win with that no-hitter in Chicago.

969
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:04,000
See if that's the first one for Milt.

970
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:06,000
Now the pitch on the way.

971
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:08,000
Hopped up into shallow center field.

972
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:09,000
Davis comes jogging in.

973
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:11,000
Willie there to call.

974
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:14,000
And under it now makes the catch and the runners hold up.

975
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:18,000
So Melinda flies out and here's Jutzi coming up.

976
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:35,000
Here's the catcher skip Jutzi coming on now.

977
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:38,000
For Pappas, the first one of his career.

978
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:41,000
And as I said, the second of the year.

979
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,000
Pass ball to Jutzi's inside ball.

980
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:54,000
One ball and no strikes.

981
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:56,000
Milt beat the Dodgers last week 2-1.

982
01:53:56,000 --> 01:54:02,000
Here's a foul on the ground behind the plate.

983
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:04,000
And it's a one-on-one count to Jutzi.

984
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:08,000
In that game against Singer, Bill allowed only four hits.

985
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:11,000
The Dodgers had nine but only one run against Milt.

986
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:19,000
Today he comes back with a no-hitter.

987
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:21,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

988
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:23,000
Line drive in the left field for a face hit.

989
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:28,000
And around third comes a runner to score and it makes it a 5-1 ball game.

990
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:34,000
So Jutzi singles to left field to drive in the run and take the shutout away from Doug Ross.

991
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:37,000
So one of the walkers cashed in as Farbo scored.

992
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:41,000
Stopping his second is Torrey and the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dwayne-anderson/>Dwayne Anderson</a>.

993
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:43,000
5-1 ball game.

994
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:45,000
In the inning two walks.

995
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:48,000
And a line drive out that really saved things for Rao.

996
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:53,000
And now a line single to left field by Jutzi.

997
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:55,000
That's only the third hit allowed by Rao.

998
01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:57,000
And here is Anderson coming up.

999
01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:59,000
He has grounded out and fly it out.

1000
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:05,000
Dodgers five and the Cardinals one.

1001
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:14,000
And Rao looking for the third out here in the inning.

1002
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,000
Now the pitch.

1003
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:18,000
Anderson takes high ball one.

1004
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,000
Well the White Sox lost another one.

1005
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,000
They can't win the pennant if they can't win on the road.

1006
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:24,000
And they are a bad road club this year.

1007
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:25,000
The Yankees beat them 2-1.

1008
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:30,000
Playing the winner, Bradley the loser, and the Yankees all of a sudden are right in the thick of it.

1009
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:35,000
There's a curve low ball to and Doug Rao struggling here in the seventh inning.

1010
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:37,000
The Yankees have won seven out of eight.

1011
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:41,000
They were a game and a half out going into the action today.

1012
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:45,000
Detroit at Oakland later and Baltimore at California tonight.

1013
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:47,000
The Yankees really making a lot of noise.

1014
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:48,000
Now the pitch to Rao.

1015
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:50,000
Fly ball to center field playable.

1016
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:51,000
Davis jogging over.

1017
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:54,000
Waiting under it now and makes the catch.

1018
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:56,000
Side out.

1019
01:55:56,000 --> 01:55:59,000
So a run on a hit and two walks and two left.

1020
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:01,000
The score at the end of seven innings to play.

1021
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:04,000
Dodgers five and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1972/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a> have won.

1022
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:30,000
Oli, Oli, O.

1023
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:36,000
Such a special beer, that's Olympia.

1024
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:41,000
It's the way we age, our Oli, Oli gear.

1025
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:47,000
It's the water and the life, it's the hops and drinks.

1026
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,000
The best that we can find.

1027
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:55,000
It's the extra time, that's just one reason why.

1028
01:56:55,000 --> 01:57:01,000
The time to make each drink, to make Olympia.

1029
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:06,000
It's the water and the life, Oli, Oli.

1030
01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:09,000
Danny Goodman's latest souvenir bargain package.

1031
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:12,000
Four items, two dollars including mailing and handling.

1032
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:15,000
A package of 25 by 7 Dodger pictures with autographs.

1033
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:18,000
A 1972 Dodger yearbook.

1034
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:20,000
12 <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1972/overview/>National League</a> Club pennants.

1035
01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:22,000
And a Dodger baseball cap.

1036
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:25,000
Send your name and address, two dollars to Danny Goodman,

1037
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:34,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a>, Los Angeles 90012.

1038
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:36,000
Okay, we're all set to go into the eighth inning.

1039
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,000
More play here, Spence.

1040
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:41,000
Alright, Jerry, the Dodgers holding on to a 5 to 1 lead.

1041
01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:45,000
They'll have catcher <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a>, then Doug Rowe and Lee Lacey.

1042
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:58,000
Yeager has triple struck out on walk.

1043
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:11,000
Fokker's first pitch over for a strike, 0 and 1.

1044
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:16,000
Now the next one swung on and missed strike 2, 0 and 2 to Yeager.

1045
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:19,000
Dodgers five runs, eight hits.

1046
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:24,000
And the Cardinals one run, three hits.

1047
01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:36,000
The strike two pitch on the way is a curveball high, ball one, one and two.

1048
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:43,000
The one, two pitch low in the dirt.

1049
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:45,000
Two balls and two strikes to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/steve-yeager/>Steve Yeager</a>.

1050
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:49,000
Fokker's back with a fastball and he just missed outside with it.

1051
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:52,000
Kind of pounds his left hand into the heart of his glove.

1052
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:57,000
Thought he had it.

1053
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:01,000
Joe Grisenda throwing down the Cardinal bullpen and the fastball is swung on

1054
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:03,000
and missed strike three.

1055
01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:11,000
So Yeager strikes out, one away and the battle will be Doug Rowe.

1056
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:16,000
Rowe tripled home a run, walked and sacrificed.

1057
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:18,000
He had the Cardinals shut out for six innings.

1058
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:22,000
His control deserted him briefly in the seventh and he gave up one run.

1059
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:27,000
But he's still leading handily, 5 to 1 in the eighth with one out.

1060
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:29,000
This will be Fokker's last inning of work.

1061
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:33,000
He's due to bat second when the Cardinals hit in the eighth inning.

1062
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:35,000
He gets a strike to Rowe.

1063
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:38,000
The Cardinals are due to have <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jose-cruz/>Jose Cruz</a>, the left fielder,

1064
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:42,000
then Fokker's and Sizemore so they're getting Grisenda ready.

1065
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:44,000
High chopper wide to third.

1066
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:48,000
Torrey one hands and fires across to Simmons who makes a good tag on Rowe

1067
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:51,000
coming by having left the bag.

1068
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:56,000
Oh, nice play by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a>.

1069
01:59:56,000 --> 02:00:01,000
Two down in the eighth inning and that brings up Lee Lacey.

1070
02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:05,000
Lacey is 2 for 4, both singles to right field.

1071
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:12,000
He has struck out and grounded out.

1072
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:15,000
Had it not been for a nice play by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lowell-palmer/>Lowell Palmer</a> in the fourth inning,

1073
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:19,000
Lacey would be 3 for 4.

1074
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:24,000
The Lee waiting, Fokker looks in to Jutzi ready and delivers

1075
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:30,000
a foul back on one, probably the most watched player on the field.

1076
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:35,000
Every movement he makes is being scrutinized closely by about a dozen

1077
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:41,000
big league scouts is the Cardinal catcher skip Jutzi, the pitch to Lee Lacey is high 1-1.

1078
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:44,000
Because first of all he comes up with a reputation of being the outstanding

1079
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:48,000
catcher in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AA/1972/overview/>American Association</a>, the pitch high ball 2-2-1.

1080
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:52,000
And they know that <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> is certainly the number one catcher in the Cardinal plan.

1081
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:57,000
Therefore the scouts are watching Jutzi and deciding whether he would be worth

1082
02:00:57,000 --> 02:01:04,000
making a big deal for and whether he'd be ready to catch first string next year in the big leagues.

1083
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:11,000
Pitch is outside to Lacey ball 3, 3-1, skip Jutzi, J-U-T-Z-E is the 3-1 pitch.

1084
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:15,000
Lacey takes high ball 4.

1085
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:30,000
The 2-out walk will bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a>.

1086
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:34,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-buckner/>Bill Buckner</a> fouled out, grounded out, lined out, and grounded out.

1087
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:37,000
It's been a long day for Bill, he's 0-4-4.

1088
02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:43,000
Last night he went 0-4-4 in the second game.

1089
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:48,000
He's 0-4-10 and he takes high ball 1.

1090
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:57,000
He's had one hit in the three games that was a triple.

1091
02:01:57,000 --> 02:01:59,000
That would give him 1-4-12 in the series.

1092
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:03,000
The 1-0 pitch, Buckner grounds it down to Sizemore who retreats,

1093
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:07,000
still stays with it to get him, and the Dodgers are done in the eighth.

1094
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:11,000
At the end of 7-1-2 the Dodgers 5 and the Cardinals 1.

1095
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:15,000
There's at least one tire dealer who thinks the only good tire sale

1096
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:19,000
is one that offers a tire you'd probably buy even if it wasn't on sale.

1097
02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:22,000
That tire dealer is your Union 76 dealer.

1098
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:26,000
Right now, participating Union 76 stations in the Los Angeles area

1099
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:30,000
are showing their spirit by having a sale on their best-selling tire,

1100
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:32,000
the Union 76 3-Star.

1101
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:34,000
It's called the best-seller tire sale.

1102
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:39,000
Buy two 3-Star tires and save between $10 and $20.

1103
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:42,000
There's no money necessary if you use a Union 76 credit card.

1104
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:48,000
Union 76's best-selling 3-Star tires are made with four full plies of polyester cord

1105
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:50,000
in modern 78 series design.

1106
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:53,000
Even before the best-seller tire sale,

1107
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:58,000
3-Stars were the least expensive four-ply polyester cord tires sold by Union 76.

1108
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:01,000
Now, the best-seller is an even better deal.

1109
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:04,000
Visit your Union 76 dealer during his best-seller tire sale

1110
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:09,000
and drive away with a set of tires you might have bought even if they weren't on sale.

1111
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:12,000
The spirit of 76 lives at Union Oil.

1112
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:19,000
Music

1113
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:21,000
Bottom of the eighth, 5-1 Dodgers.

1114
02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:23,000
Five runs, eight hits, no errors for the Dodgers.

1115
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:27,000
One run, three hits, and no errors for the Cardinals.

1116
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:33,000
Doug Rowe making his major league debut for the Dodgers, and so far so good.

1117
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:38,000
He had a six-inning shutout, gave up a run in the seventh on a couple of walks,

1118
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:40,000
and he was lucky in the seventh.

1119
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:43,000
He needed a very big play, and he got it.

1120
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:45,000
The first and second are nobody out.

1121
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> had a shot that would have been extra bases,

1122
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:53,000
and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a> made a great play.

1123
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:56,000
And Rowe could easily have given up three runs in the seventh inning

1124
02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:59,000
had it not been for Valentine's saver.

1125
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:04,000
So Doug still has a comfortable lead of 5-1, and he's pitching to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jose-cruz/>Jose Cruz</a>,

1126
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:08,000
who tries to drag a bunt but leaves it in Jaeger-Smith for a strike.

1127
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:10,000
0-1.

1128
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:16,000
Jerry McNurtney is on deck to hit for pitcher Rick Fulkers.

1129
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:20,000
Brazenda and Ray Baer are throwing in the Cardinal pen.

1130
02:04:20,000 --> 02:04:23,000
Cruz takes a curveball low, 1-1.

1131
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:35,000
5-1 Dodgers in the eighth.

1132
02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:39,000
Now the 1-1 pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jose-cruz/>Jose Cruz</a>, the ground ball down to Lacey.

1133
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:43,000
Lee gloves it, gets rid of it in a hurry, and that'll do it for Cruz.

1134
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:49,000
The Cruz taps out, one out in the eighth.

1135
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:55,000
Here is Jerry McNurtney batting for Rich Fulkers with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-sizemore/>Ted Sizemore</a> on deck.

1136
02:04:55,000 --> 02:05:08,000
McNurtney is hitting 2-22, nine RBIs.

1137
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:16,000
Brau looks in to get a sign from Jaeger.

1138
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:22,000
Doug checking, McNurtney fussing up there at the place of timeout until he's ready.

1139
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:25,000
Now we are in the left-handed delivers, fastball away, ball one.

1140
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:27,000
It's hard to tell you about Doug Brau.

1141
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:30,000
I mean, you sit here and watch him, and you are not overly impressed.

1142
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:32,000
He's not throwing that hard.

1143
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:37,000
He doesn't have that great appearing stuff, but he's getting them out.

1144
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:41,000
The 1-0 pitch on the way, high fly ball to left field.

1145
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:43,000
Crawford waited, then has to come jogging in.

1146
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:46,000
He's still coming in and makes the catch for the out.

1147
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:49,000
So McNurtney, a fly ball to left field.

1148
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:56,000
The big thing, he's had excellent control outside of that momentary lapse in the seventh inning.

1149
02:05:56,000 --> 02:06:03,000
Left-handers have just about a built-in happy faculty of being able to have a baseball move.

1150
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:06,000
The question is, can they get it over the plate?

1151
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:10,000
And you get a left-hander who throws strikes, and he is particularly troublesome.

1152
02:06:10,000 --> 02:06:15,000
Sizemore takes low, ball one, and I would think that that's the thing about Doug Brau.

1153
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:21,000
Sitting up here watching him, you don't see too much, but his ball has to be moving on these hitters.

1154
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:24,000
The 1-0 pitch, fastball, popped in the air back of first base.

1155
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:26,000
Over to get it is Parker.

1156
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:30,000
He's right there and makes the catch, and Brau just makes it look so easy.

1157
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:35,000
So they're gone in the eighth, and at the end of eighth, Dodgers five, Cardinals one.

1158
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:38,000
Well, there are no days off for the Dodgers over Labor Day weekend,

1159
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:42,000
but for many of you folks, it's three days of just lazing around,

1160
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:46,000
and it's a good time to try something totally different in your holiday barbecuing,

1161
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:50,000
a Farmer John boneless fresh pork leg.

1162
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:55,000
Farmer John boneless fresh pork legs are so new, they've hardly happened,

1163
02:06:55,000 --> 02:07:00,000
and they're the most delicious happening that ever went round and round on a rotisserie.

1164
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:05,000
Just think, all pork, sweet, succulent, fresh pork with no bone.

1165
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:09,000
And because it's Farmer John pork, it's as fresh as fresh can be.

1166
02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:13,000
Farmer John brings the Eastern corn-fed porkers out here live.

1167
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:16,000
Then they meet U.S. inspectors and dress fresh here in the West.

1168
02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:20,000
Most other packers ship their pork in frozen or cold storage.

1169
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:25,000
So look for Farmer John boneless fresh pork legs in your market, or ask your butcher.

1170
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:27,000
Get a whole leg or just a part, but shop early,

1171
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:30,000
because these new pork roasts are still in short supply.

1172
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:37,000
Put a Farmer John boneless fresh pork leg on your holiday shopping list now.

1173
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:39,000
Don't forget, 14 more dates at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a>,

1174
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:43,000
starting with the doubleheader on Labor Day evening with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1972/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a>.

1175
02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:46,000
That's this Monday, the 5 o'clock doubleheader,

1176
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:51,000
and the auto gates and turnstiles open at 3 p.m. with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-bench/>Johnny Bench</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/pete-rose/>Pete Rose</a>, and company.

1177
02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:55,000
Then there'll be two more games with the Reds on the nights of the 5th and the 6th.

1178
02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:58,000
There'll be a spectacular pre- and between-game show

1179
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:01,000
staged by the United States Air Force on Labor Day,

1180
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:04,000
the 15th Air Force's band from March Field,

1181
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:06,000
the famous drill team from Edwards,

1182
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:11,000
a missing man flyover of four F-106s from Hamilton Air Force Base north of San Francisco,

1183
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:14,000
all coordinated into a colorful show.

1184
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:17,000
And before the game the next night, September the 5th,

1185
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:19,000
the cast of Adam 12, the TV cops.

1186
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:22,000
They'll take on the Los Angeles Police Department.

1187
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:29,000
You'll see Marty Milner, Kent McCord, and many others.

1188
02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:32,000
Ninth inning, 5-1 Dodgers.

1189
02:08:32,000 --> 02:08:36,000
The ballgame is just about two hours old now.

1190
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:41,000
They had a rain delay, but thanks to the AstroTurf, able to get it in.

1191
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:44,000
Ray Baer, B-A-R-E, comes in to pick up.

1192
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:47,000
He'll be the fourth Cardinal pitcher.

1193
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:49,000
Baer is on one with the league.

1194
02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:50,000
This is ninth game.

1195
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:54,000
The Livers and Davis, it's a high drive into deep right center field.

1196
02:08:54,000 --> 02:09:01,000
Melendez to the track near the wall makes the catch, about 390 feet away.

1197
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:05,000
Look for a moment there as if the Dodgers would finally hit a home run in St. Louis,

1198
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:09,000
but Willie was a couple of feet shy and a long drive to right center.

1199
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:15,000
One out and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wes-parker/>Wes Parker</a> the batter.

1200
02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:19,000
Parker fly to left and walk popped up and fly to center.

1201
02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:28,000
It's a goal for three.

1202
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:37,000
The pitch to Parker fouled away off to the left, 0-1 the count.

1203
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:43,000
Ray Baer was with the Cardinals in spring training.

1204
02:09:43,000 --> 02:09:46,000
He was born and raised in Miami, Florida.

1205
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:49,000
Off speed pitch is a strike and a count 0-2.

1206
02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:52,000
Ray 6-2, 195 pounder.

1207
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:55,000
When the Cardinals come up in the bottom of the ninth,

1208
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:59,000
standing in the way of Doug Rowe's first victory and first complete game

1209
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:04,000
in his first start in the big leagues will be Messers, Carbo, Torrey, and Simmons.

1210
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:05,000
Three pretty fair hitters.

1211
02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:10,000
Parker fouls another one away.

1212
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:20,000
1-2 the count to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/wes-parker/>Wes Parker</a>.

1213
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:22,000
Wes has a look at a breaking ball low.

1214
02:10:22,000 --> 02:10:23,000
Ball 1, 1-2.

1215
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:30,000
Grisenda and Cumberland, a couple of left-handers going in the Cardinal bullpen.

1216
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:39,000
The 1-2 pitch outside, one-handed by Jutzi, 2-2.

1217
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:44,000
Ray Baer and Skip Jutzi, an infield of Simmons and Sizemore, Anderson, and Torrey.

1218
02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:46,000
An outfield of Cruz, Melendez, and Carbo.

1219
02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:47,000
2-2 pitch.

1220
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:49,000
Parker hits an off speeder to the right of the mound.

1221
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:51,000
Down to get it is Baer.

1222
02:10:51,000 --> 02:10:53,000
Ray fires to Simmons for the out.

1223
02:10:53,000 --> 02:11:00,000
2-2 away.

1224
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:04,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-crawford/>Willie Crawford</a> the batter, walked it into a force play, walked again, and single.

1225
02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:17,000
So Crawford is 1 for 2.

1226
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:20,000
Time call by play-dump by Mel Steiner.

1227
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:24,000
A ball loose from the Cardinal bullpen, retrieved by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a>.

1228
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:26,000
Alright, Crawford at the plate.

1229
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:29,000
Ninth inning, 5-1 Dodgers.

1230
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:32,000
Fastball on the outside corner for a strike on one.

1231
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:36,000
Boy, you wouldn't have given much chance of getting this one in a few hours ago,

1232
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:38,000
but here we are in the ninth.

1233
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:42,000
The ball game about two hours and three minutes old, and Crawford takes low.

1234
02:11:42,000 --> 02:11:49,000
One ball, one strike.

1235
02:11:49,000 --> 02:11:55,000
The 1-1 pitch, Willie takes in the dirt, ball two, 2-1.

1236
02:11:55,000 --> 02:11:58,000
Ray Baer, the fourth Cardinal pitcher.

1237
02:11:58,000 --> 02:11:59,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a> started.

1238
02:11:59,000 --> 02:12:01,000
He couldn't get out of the second inning.

1239
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:05,000
The 1-1 pitch, the bouncer off the glove of Baer, deflected to Anderson,

1240
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:12,000
who throws and then Simmons on a big stretch is unable to hold onto the ball.

1241
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:18,000
Ted that time tried to handle a low throw with his knuckles facing the sky.

1242
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:22,000
Had he turned his hand over so that the palm was facing the sky,

1243
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:24,000
he would have held onto the ball.

1244
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:27,000
But with knuckles up, it hit the glove and then spilled out,

1245
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:29,000
and it will be Simmons drawing the error.

1246
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:34,000
A more experienced first baseman would have handled a low throw.

1247
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:38,000
So a two-out error charged to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a>, and the batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a>.

1248
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:40,000
Ground ball into right field, base hit.

1249
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:43,000
Crawford takes a look at Carball and holds at second base.

1250
02:12:43,000 --> 02:12:47,000
The going is too slow to try and take an extra base.

1251
02:12:47,000 --> 02:12:51,000
So a two-out error followed by a base hit, and the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a>.

1252
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:55,000
And for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a>, that is his third hit.

1253
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:59,000
He made a great play defensively in the seventh inning.

1254
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:02,000
And in the fifth inning, he might have had his fourth hit.

1255
02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:05,000
He had a line drive, but right at the shortstop, Duane Anderson.

1256
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:10,000
So Valentine having a big day, and Bobby came into the game at 2.69.

1257
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:11,000
There is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-russell/>Bill Russell</a>.

1258
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:14,000
Walked and hit by a pitch, grounded out twice, 0 for 2.

1259
02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:17,000
Baer's fastball, a high chopper, back of the mound.

1260
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:21,000
Baer gloves it, gets rid of it in a hurry, and Simmons handles it for the out.

1261
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:28,000
No runs, one hit, an error, two left, and at the end of 8 1 half innings, Dodgers 5, Cardinals 1.

1262
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:33,000
In this world, you only get what you pay for unless you buy a Toyota Mark II.

1263
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:39,000
Because when you buy a Toyota Mark II, you pay a low economy price and get a car that's up to its roof in luxury.

1264
02:13:39,000 --> 02:13:44,000
The Mark II comes with brocaded, adjustable foam cushion, fully reclining bucket seats.

1265
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:48,000
A nice little surprise when you adjust, expecting some place to sit.

1266
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:52,000
You get a rear window defroster instead of just one for the front window.

1267
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:56,000
A nice little surprise when you were expecting to do the back window by hand.

1268
02:13:56,000 --> 02:14:04,000
You get white walls instead of black walls, power front disc brakes instead of just brakes, and tinted windows instead of the sun.

1269
02:14:04,000 --> 02:14:06,000
All standard, and there's plenty more.

1270
02:14:06,000 --> 02:14:08,000
So take a look at the Toyota Mark II.

1271
02:14:08,000 --> 02:14:13,000
And if you get the feeling you'll get more than you're paying for, well now don't be shocked.

1272
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:15,000
You're not the first person to feel that way.

1273
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:22,000
And remember, while supply lasts, pick up a free 100-page Olympic guidebook at participating Toyota dealers.

1274
02:14:22,000 --> 02:14:25,000
Licensed drivers only. Supply is limited.

1275
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:37,000
As we go to the bottom of the ninth inning with the Dodgers leading the Cardinals 5-1, let's pause for station identification.

1276
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:40,000
This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1972/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a> Radio Network.

1277
02:14:40,000 --> 02:14:47,000
It's now two minutes until two o'clock. This is KTAR in Phoenix.

1278
02:14:47,000 --> 02:14:52,000
For Dodger Station.

1279
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:58,000
Bottom of the ninth inning, 5-1 Dodgers, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a>, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> in that order.

1280
02:14:58,000 --> 02:15:06,000
And Doug Rowe, three outs away from his first big league complete game victory in his first start.

1281
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:11,000
It's a big day for Doug, this second of September.

1282
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:15,000
The left-hander delivers. Carbo takes high and inside, ball one.

1283
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:27,000
Bernie has popped a short, struck out, walked and scored the only Cardinal run in the seventh inning.

1284
02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:35,000
Now the 1-0 pitch to Carbo. Grounded foul outside of first and down the line. One ball, one strike.

1285
02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:39,000
Over 9,000 came out today, and that's a lot of people.

1286
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:44,000
If you'd been in St. Louis and saw the weather, you can't imagine that 9,000 would be here.

1287
02:15:44,000 --> 02:15:50,000
Because it meant that almost all of them came to the park in the rain.

1288
02:15:50,000 --> 02:15:55,000
Boy, you have to be pretty optimistic. But by golly, they got the game in.

1289
02:15:55,000 --> 02:16:02,000
One and one to count to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a>. Rowe back to the plate, and it's pop foul back to the plate and into the lower deck.

1290
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:07,000
He really jammed in keeping that pitch in on the hands. One and two.

1291
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:14,000
Carbo doing a fine job since he moved over to the Cardinals. He was hitting 143 for the Reds.

1292
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:18,000
He has doubled that. He's hitting 287 as a Cardinal.

1293
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:22,000
The 1-2 pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bernie-carbo/>Bernie Carbo</a>. Swung on and missed strike three.

1294
02:16:22,000 --> 02:16:32,000
And so Rowe picks up his second strikeout, and it's Carbo each time.

1295
02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:37,000
Doug Rowe has allowed only three hits. A one-out double to Simmons in the second inning.

1296
02:16:37,000 --> 02:16:43,000
Then he retired 10 in a row until he gave up a two-out double to Jutzi in the fifth.

1297
02:16:43,000 --> 02:16:47,000
Then he allowed a two-out single to drive in a run to Jutzi in the seventh.

1298
02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:54,000
Rowe's fastball is grounded to Russell. Bill picks it up across the first base in the dirt, one-handed by Parker.

1299
02:16:54,000 --> 02:16:56,000
And that'll do it for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a>.

1300
02:16:56,000 --> 02:17:03,000
And now Rowe is one-out away from a complete game victory and a three-hitter to boot.

1301
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:09,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a> has hit the ball very hard. He hadn't been fooled once by Rowe.

1302
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:16,000
Ted doubled the left center, lined out to right in the fifth inning, and then perhaps the key play of the game.

1303
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:20,000
In the seventh, with two on and nobody out, hit a line drive that was backhanded,

1304
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:26,000
as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-valentine/>Bobby Valentine</a> did a pirouette to take an extra base hit away from him.

1305
02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:36,000
Rowe Ruddy delivers. Simmons looking and takes a strike. Goin' one.

1306
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:41,000
Two-out on the ninth. Five to one Dodgers.

1307
02:17:41,000 --> 02:17:48,000
Doug backs off the rubber, scrapes at the dirt, now both feet on top and looks in for a sign.

1308
02:17:48,000 --> 02:17:55,000
Rowe into the wind-up. Doug strike one pitch. Fastball low, one-and-one. He snapped that one.

1309
02:17:55,000 --> 02:18:03,000
So with the distinguished left-handers in starting roles, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-john/>Tommy John</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-downing/>Al Downing</a>, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/claude-osteen/>Claude Osteen</a>,

1310
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:20,000
another left-hander bidding for a starting job, Doug Rowe. The one-one pitch, curve low and inside, ball two, two-and-one to Simmons.

1311
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:26,000
Doug had a big year at Albuquerque. He was Lesortes' ace down there. He won 14 and lost three.

1312
02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:32,000
Two-one pitch, high with a fastball, ball three. So he's behind to the one man who has ripped him hard,

1313
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:37,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-simmons/>Ted Simmons</a>. He's had good swings at him each time.

1314
02:18:37,000 --> 02:18:44,000
Ted has a look at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/vern-benson/>Vern Benson</a>. Now the three-one pitch, the Cardinal first base, line drive right at Valentine,

1315
02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:51,000
and Simmons has to be an angry young man. He hits four line drives, and he goes one for four.

1316
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:57,000
And for Doug Rowe, all the way to win it, five to one.

1317
02:18:57,000 --> 02:19:04,000
For the Dodgers, five runs, nine hits, no errors. The Cardinals, one run, three hits, one error.

1318
02:19:04,000 --> 02:19:08,000
Doug Rowe, all the way, he's one and oh. He'll be our guest on the postgame show.

1319
02:19:08,000 --> 02:19:13,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-durham/>Don Durham</a>, the loser, is two and seven. It's the second time the Dodgers have bagged him this year.

1320
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:23,000
The Dodgers have won seven of 11 from the Cardinals, winning three of five here, four out of six at home.

1321
02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:31,000
Tomorrow it'll be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-singer/>Bill Singer</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/reggie-cleveland/>Reggie Cleveland</a>, warm up 10.55, game time 11.15 on KFI, the Dodger Radio Network,

1322
02:19:31,000 --> 02:19:39,000
and in the Los Angeles area, Channel 9, KHJ-TV. Singer is five and 13, and Cleveland is 13 and 11.

1323
02:19:39,000 --> 02:19:43,000
Once again, final score, Dodgers five, Cardinals one.

1324
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:53,000
Thank you.
