00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Hi everybody, this is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/phil-rizzuto/>Phil Rizzuto</a> welcoming you to another game in the 13th straight year of Yankee baseball as brought to you by Ballantine Bills.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Today the Yankees meet the Boston Redcocks here at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/fenway-park/>Fenway Park</a> in the Yankees last appearance here in Boston.

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:33,000
For the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-yankees/1959/overview/>New York Yankees</a> leading off playing right field Hank Bob. Johnny Krubeck is at shortstop today batting in the second position.

5
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Cletus Boyer is giving a bit of a rest. He's been playing real fine defensive ball but hasn't been hitting the way Casey Stanger would like to see him hit.

6
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
So he figures a day or two rest might get him climbed up a little more.

7
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
When he puts him back in the lineup he'll start belting that ball the way he knows he can.

8
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Nicky Mantle is in center field hitting third. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a> batting in the clean up spot and doing the catching.

9
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elston-howard/>Elston Howard</a> at first base hitting fifth. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hector-lopez/>Hector Lopez</a> batting in the sixth position playing left field.

10
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Gil McJugle batting seventh and playing third base. At second base hitting in the eighth position <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a> and doing the pitching and batting ninth, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/duke-maas/>Duke Maas</a>.

11
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:29,000
For the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/boston-red-sox/1959/overview/>Boston Red Sox</a> leading off playing second base Pumpski Green. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a> batting in the second position and playing center field.

12
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Pete Reynolds will be playing first base batting third. Gene Stevenson left field batting in the clean up spot. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-williams/>Ted Williams</a> not in the starting lineup.

13
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackie-jensen/>Jackie Jensen</a> batting fifth playing right field playing third base and batting sixth <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-malzone/>Frank Malzone</a>. And there go the Red Sox out on the field.

14
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Everybody's worrying about the White Sox and the Indians who's going to win the pennant between the two of them.

15
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
But the Yankees are playing the Red Sox today.

16
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:11,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> doing the catching batting seventh. Don Budden batting eighth playing shortstop and Jerry Cassell doing the pitching and batting ninth.

17
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Ready to go. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-bauer/>Hank Bauer</a> swinging a couple of big bats. Walking up towards home plate. Jerry Cassell rubbing up the new ball putting a little rosin on it starting his warm up tosses.

18
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:36,000
He's got one nine and lost eight on the air against the Yankees. He has no wins and one defeat which is his lifetime record against New York.

19
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Jerry was born September 27th 1933 in Brooklyn, New York. He's 6'2", 200 pounds. Still lives in Brooklyn.

20
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Cassell's story reads like a movie.

21
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:25,000
His parents passed away when he was a youngster. He was raised by an older sister and a brother who together with his CYO director became interested in baseball and continued his interest to where he became a big leaguer.

22
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:41,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-bauer/>Hank Bauer</a> stepping into the batter's box batting 230. Hank has 17 doubles, nine homers and 34 runs batted in.

23
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Hank Corsetti coaching at third base. Ralph Houser down at first. On deck <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tony-kubek/>Tony Kubek</a>. Boy this is a gorgeous day. The wind is blowing out by the way which means any balls hit up in the air will carry the first pitch of the ball game is a strike.

24
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000
A curve ball on the outside part of the plate.

25
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Cassell lost to the Yankees 8-5 back on August 11th losing to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/duke-maas/>Duke Maas</a> his opponent today. Wind up by the right hander. He kicks and the fastball is fouled off the screen and back of the plate strike two.

26
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Cassell started two other times against the Yankees on July 11th and August 16th but he was knocked out in both games and did not figure in the final decision.

27
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Yankees 15 and a half games behind the White Sox. One full game behind the Tigers for third place. Here's the pitch popped in the air and back of shortstop and left center field. Budden going back. Stevens coming on and Stevens what a pitch Stevens makes.

28
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Right off his shoot tops and half the ball hanging out of his glove and there was almost one of those triple collisions that you fear and that sometimes happens. Budden, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a> and Gene Stevens all converging on the ball in short left center field and Stevens stopped at one second and then continued and he's got those long arms and he just reached out low to the ground and caught the ball in the webbing of his glove.

29
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:44,000
What a beautiful play by Gene Stevens on what could have been a gift double for Hank Bar. One away here's Tony Kubeck. The pitch to Tony is outside ball one. Kubeck batting 293 has 19 doubles, 7 triples, 5 homers and 44 runs batted in. Tony has a 7 game hitting streak and he's the hottest hitter on the Yankees right now.

30
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Kasell ready. The pitch is low ball two, two nothing. On deck <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-mantle/>Mickey Mantle</a>. So the ballgame starts off right away with a spectacular play by the Red Sox left fielder Gene Stevens.

31
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Happy to hear that the Armed Forces radio picking up our broadcast today for our service men and women around the world. There's a foul back out of play just to our left. Right in the Skyview seat.

32
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Souvenir for Tom Yorkey.

33
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Owner of the Red Sox.

34
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:32,000
As a fellow that doesn't need a baseball.

35
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Yorkey has been a great man for baseball and for baseball players.

36
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Real sportsman.

37
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:58,000
He pitched to Kubeck his top foul again to the left and out of play. This one going into the box seats and back of the Yankee dugout. A man with a yellow shirt just stuck up one hand just as nonchalant as you'd like with a bag of peanuts in the other and made a nice catch.

38
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000
He's got glasses on too.

39
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Not that that makes any difference. A lot of ball players wearing glasses.

40
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Just like plucking cherries.

41
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,000
He's got two to count on Tony Kubeck one out and nobody on. No score on the top of the first.

42
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:45,000
To wind up the pitch is popped to left field. Gene Stevens flips the glasses down. Moving under it and makes the catch for the second out. So Stevens has helped Cassell retire the first two Yankees. Babers and brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-mantle/>Mickey Mantle</a>.

43
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:57,000
A real popular ball player and a real good ball player. Fans usually don't take the time to boo or cheer the mediocre ball players unless they make a great play.

44
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Cassell's pitch to Mickey is high ball one. Mantle is batting 285. He has 22 doubles, 4 triples, 26 homers and 67 runs batted in. Mantle batting left handed against Jerry Cassell. Pitch is swung at a missed strike one one on one on Jack Yogiberra.

45
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:48,000
One ball one strike. Yankee dugout just in back of third base and the Red Sox in back of first base. It's a real cozy ball park. It's right up on the playing field. Here's the pitch. It's over strike two.

46
00:08:48,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Cassell with a big motion that time. Took something off his fastball. Mickey you watched it just dance over the plate. One ball two strikes. Two out, nobody on. No score here on the top of the first.

47
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Cassell in the lineup the pitch is foul below it bouncing off the screen.

48
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Count holes at one ball and two strikes.

49
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Yankees have won only three games here at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/fenway-park/>Fenway Park</a> all year while losing seven. They've won four in lower sport of the Red Sox at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>. Season series stands at seven wins for the Yankees and 11 for the Red Sox.

50
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Here's a pitch to Mickey high outside ball two two and two.

51
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Look at the standings over the course of the year you realize why the Yankees are not in first place right now. They usually play better on the road than they do at home but not so this year. There's a foul back against the screen. Count holes at two and two.

52
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:48,000
The only two teams with Yankees have an advantage over are Kansas City and Washington on the road. All the other clubs have won more games against the Yankees on their home field.

53
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Mickey is called out on strike. The pitch caught the inside corner.

54
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:25,000
The sale gets a first strikeout and for the Yankees in the top of the first nothing across they go down to one two three order to score at the end of one half inning of play. The Yankees nothing in Boston coming to that.

55
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Well.

56
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Well.

57
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Well.

58
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Well.

59
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
I'm cold Valentine dear.

60
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000
I'm cold Valentine dear.

61
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Yes sir, it's like the song says, to be crisp a beer must have lightness plus true lager flavor.

62
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
And Mr. Valentine's got them both.

63
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
So enjoy the crisp refresher first chance you get.

64
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Out on the mound for the Yankees today, Duke Marsh.

65
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Marsh has won 12 and lost 6 on the year.

66
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
And against the Red Sox he has 3 wins and 1 defeat.

67
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
And his lifetime record against Boston 11 wins, 10 defeats.

68
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Lifetime record in the big leagues, 38 wins and 41 defeats.

69
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,000
The announcement just came over the public address system to us here on the radio and television booth

70
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,000
that <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ted-williams/>Ted Williams</a> has been feeling very poorly and came out of the park today,

71
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
but was sent back to his hotel room.

72
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,000
He did not accompany the Red Sox on their last swing through the west or the east.

73
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,000
But we thought they had a conference with Tom Yorkey,

74
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,000
owner of the Red Sox, and to his future plans with the Red Sox,

75
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:11,000
but because of his illness it didn't materialize so we thought they might have some news on Ted's future plans,

76
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:19,000
but as of now we do not have any.

77
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Elijah Pumpsie Green, switch hitting second baseman, takes the pitch high ball one.

78
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Green's batting.256. He's slipped quite a bit since the Yankees were in town.

79
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
He was over the 300 mark last time we were here.

80
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:42,000
He has three doubles, two triples, and five runs batted in.

81
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Six feet tall, 175 pounds, born October 27, 1934 in Oakland, California.

82
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Fouls the next pitch off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-mckinley/>Bill McKinley</a>'s net. One on one to count.

83
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Last time we were in town, Green injured his right thumb making a tag at second base.

84
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,000
And to put him out of action for a little while, that could be the cause of his slump

85
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
because any time your thumb is injured you have trouble gripping the bat.

86
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
You can get away with other fingers, but not the thumb.

87
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Curve is low, ball two, two and one.

88
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Billy Jurgis, the skipper of the Red Sox coaching at third, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/del-baker/>Del Baker</a> down at first.

89
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rudy-york/>Rudy York</a>, the batting coach, hitting on the steps of the Red Sox dugout.

90
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Here's a fastball that's high outside, ball three, three and one.

91
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000
No score here on the bottom of the first. On deck, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a>.

92
00:14:46,000 --> 00:15:11,000
The three-one pitch is down the middle, strike two called. Three and two to count.

93
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:21,000
We know that Billy Jurgis is the only manager in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a> to manage on the base pass.

94
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1959/overview/>National League</a>, Sally Hemis, gets out there.

95
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,000
The ball is popped into left center field, throwing way back, Nadel chasing it.

96
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000
And can't get it, it's off his glove. He kicks it off the wall, green around first, around second, and holds on.

97
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Long double to deep left center field. Nadel got his glove on the ball, couldn't hold on to it.

98
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And as it pounded off the wall, he kicked it.

99
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Green thought he had a chance for three, but Nadel's throw coming in convinced him to stop and he turned back with a double.

100
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:04,000
A double to left center field for Green, his fourth double of the year.

101
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,000
It was well hit and with the wind blowing out, the ball carried.

102
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Lopez didn't have a chance for it. Nadel, playing a little bit over in right center, had to go a long ways for it.

103
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Purest got the fingers of his glove on the ball, couldn't hold on to it.

104
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a>, the center fielder.

105
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Geiger's batting 257. Has 10 doubles, 4 triples, 10 homers, and 44 runs batted in.

106
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Gil McGoogle moves way in at third base. Geiger, a left-hand hitter.

107
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000
The pitch is low outside 4-1.

108
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Gary Murl Geiger, born in Sand Ridge, Illinois, 6'1", 164 pounds.

109
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Came to the Red Sox along with first baseman Vic Wurtz from Cleveland in a deal for Jimmy Pearce.

110
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:00,000
That was back in 1958.

111
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Green leading off second base, a stretch by Mott, and the pitch is outside ball two, two and nothing.

112
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/casey-stengel/>Casey Stengel</a> said <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a> was a sleeper in that deal and not Vic Wurtz,

113
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,000
on whom the Red Sox had counted for much of their power.

114
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Vic not had too good a year physically.

115
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,000
He was batting 263 with 10 doubles and 7 homers, 45 runs batted in.

116
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
That's not a typical Vic Wurtz year.

117
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
But you can never count on the injuries.

118
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Alright, here's a stretch. The two-nothing pitch is right down the middle.

119
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Strike one call.

120
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,000
On deck, Pete Reynolds.

121
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Interesting note on Geiger, he was a pitcher from 1954 through 1958.

122
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Had one year where he won 20 and lost only seven pitching 26 complete games.

123
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,000
There's a clear line.

124
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Paul almost gets <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/del-baker/>Del Baker</a> to first base coach.

125
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,000
See that Del can still move around and goes through a few antics down at first base.

126
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Looks like he was jitterbugging there for a minute.

127
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000
He's going through the count on Geiger. So how about that Geiger?

128
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Won 20 ball games for 26 complete games out of the 28 games that he started.

129
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:34,000
That's quite a record.

130
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Alright, here's a stretch.

131
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Pitch is hit deep to left field.

132
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Lopez going back near the wall.

133
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,000
And makes a beautiful leaping one-hand pass against the scoreboard in left center field.

134
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Green, who was all the way to third, has to scamper back.

135
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
We're getting some mighty fine plays here right in the first inning.

136
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Gene Stevens came up with one.

137
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-bauer/>Hank Bauer</a>, who led off the ball game.

138
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Mantle almost came up with one off Pumpty Green.

139
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Dying for his two-string catch on Green's double.

140
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
And then <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hector-lopez/>Hector Lopez</a> made one as he went back as far as he could and leaped as high as he could

141
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,000
and caught the ball just before it hit the scoreboard.

142
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,000
One out. Green remains at second base. Here's Pete Reynolds.

143
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Pete batting 317. Has 32 doubles, 4 triples, 6 homers, and 46 runs batted in.

144
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
James Edward Runnels, nicknamed Pete.

145
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Pitch to Runnels is a curve hit. Deep to left field again.

146
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Lopez going back in front of the scoreboard this time.

147
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Makes the catch, not hit quite as deep as the one by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a>.

148
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
And the left-hand hitters are shooting to left field.

149
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:56,000
The first three hitters were left-handed, as is the fourth hitter, Gene Stevens.

150
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
But the first three hit to the opposite field.

151
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Green to left center and Geiger and Runnels to left.

152
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,000
They're not getting around on the ball.

153
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,000
But of course with the short left field wall here in Boston, it's just 315 feet down the line

154
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
and it moves almost straight across.

155
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000
But in right field it's really deep.

156
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,000
380.

157
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Two out. Green at second. No score. The curve to Stevens is low.

158
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Ball one. Stevens batting 264. 10 doubles, 1 triple, 3 homers, 31 runs batted in.

159
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Glenn Eugene Stevens, 6385 pounds.

160
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Pumpty Green still at second base.

161
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
On deck, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackie-jensen/>Jackie Jensen</a>.

162
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Slow curve is hit on the ground at second base. Richardson coming in fifth.

163
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Up with a throw at the first. In time for the outs.

164
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,000
A nice play by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a> on a slow ground ball.

165
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,000
For Boston in the bottom of the first, no runs on one base hit.

166
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
No Yankees errors and one man left.

167
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
And the score at the end of one full inning.

168
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
The Yankees nothing and the Red Sox nothing.

169
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Take a look at the scoreboard. It's a mighty important one for both leagues today.

170
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
In the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a>, three double headers.

171
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
This is the only single game in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a>.

172
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Washington is at Baltimore for a double header.

173
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
In the first game, Washington failed to score on the top of the first.

174
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Kamara pitching against O'Dell.

175
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Kansas City is at Chicago for two games.

176
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000
And Detroit at Cleveland for two.

177
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000
And in the first game,

178
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Detroit has just come up with four runs on the top of the second and lead Cleveland 5-2

179
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
with Cleveland batting in the bottom of the second.

180
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Foytack for the Tigers, Garcia, Scott, and McLeach in the second and Perry in the second.

181
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rocky-colavito/>Rocky Colavito</a> hit his 40th home of the year in the first inning with a man on for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-guardians/1959/overview/>Cleveland Indians</a>.

182
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:09,000
That gives Rocky the league lead in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a> tied with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ernie-banks/>Ernie Banks</a> who has 40 now in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1959/overview/>National League</a>.

183
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:16,000
And in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1959/overview/>National League</a>, Chicago at Los Angeles playing the night.

184
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
St. Louis at San Francisco will start later on.

185
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Pittsburgh and Milwaukee and Philadelphia, Cincinnati all starting later on.

186
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:37,000
For the Yankees, coming to bat here leading off in the top of the second inning, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a>.

187
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Yogi batting 283 has had 24 doubles, one triple, 19 homers, and 65 runs batted in.

188
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,000
And the mention of the 19 homers reminds us that on September the 19th,

189
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000
it'll be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a> Day at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a> against the East Stadium Red Sox.

190
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Patel's Pitchfrey Yogi is in there, strike one called.

191
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
In the Kansas City-Chicago game, the batteries have just come in.

192
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Garber for Kansas City and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-pierce/>Billy Pierce</a> for the White Sox.

193
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Pitchfrey Yogi is in the dirt, ball one, one-on-one.

194
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a>.

195
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Ready, the pitch is lying in the right center field of base pitch for Yogi.

196
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Jensen going over, backhands the ball, nice play.

197
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Yogi around first, starts the second and comes back.

198
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,000
A beautiful defensive play by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackie-jensen/>Jackie Jensen</a>.

199
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Holds Yogi to a long single and listen to that crowd.

200
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Jensen running as hard as he could to his right, backhanded a ground ball.

201
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
A beautiful play and held Yogi to a long single.

202
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,000
That's the first hit for the Yankees.

203
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:14,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackie-jensen/>Jackie Jensen</a> was the most valuable player in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a> last year.

204
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elston-howard/>Elston Howard</a>, Howard batting 278.

205
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Pitch to Elston is strike one, he swings and misses.

206
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Runnels holding first against Yogi.

207
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Elston has 22 doubles, 4 triples, 17 homers and 68 runs batted in.

208
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:46,000
The pitch is a ground ball, a shortstop, Budden to Green for one, back to first, double play.

209
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Beautifully executed by the young keystone combination of John Budden and Pumpty Green.

210
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:01,000
That's another plus in favor of Pumpty Green, he can make that double play.

211
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hector-lopez/>Hector Lopez</a> with two outs, nobody on, and at the top of the second,

212
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
a score on the ball game, Lopez batting 284.

213
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Hector has 24 doubles, 5 triples, 20 homers and 82 runs batted in.

214
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:34,000
The tailpitch is high, ball one.

215
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:45,000
That's four just misses outside, ball two, two and nothing.

216
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Good sheet crowd here today at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/fenway-park/>Fenway Park</a>.

217
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Really a pretty park to watch the game from, there's not a bad sheet in the house.

218
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Here's the pitch, it's a little ball three, three and nothing.

219
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
The tail with his hands on his hip.

220
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,000
I figure that one was just high enough to have been called a strike.

221
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-mckinley/>Bill McKinley</a>, the play don't fire, doesn't think so.

222
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:24,000
His decision is what counts. On deck for the Yankees, Gil McDougal.

223
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:31,000
The three nothing pitch is high, ball four. And again, the tail puts his hands on his hip.

224
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Thought that one was in there, there's the first base on balls given up in the ball game.

225
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Lopez is first in the batter, Gil McDougal.

226
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Gil batting 236, has 15 doubles, 6 triple, 4 homers, 26 runs batted in.

227
00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Toronto told him first, against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hector-lopez/>Hector Lopez</a>, two out, nobody has scored in the ball game as yet.

228
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:11,000
The wall in front of the lower box, the back of third, juts out at a sharp angle.

229
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000
So that sometimes base hits, just go over third base.

230
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:23,000
The calm off that wall in the shortstop has to be on the alert to go out and field the ball. It kicks out towards left field, but closer to the shortstop.

231
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000
If he doesn't hustle out, the batter could get a double.

232
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Here's the pitch, hits the deep left center field.

233
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Going back is the center fielder, it's off the wall.

234
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Lopez will score. McDougal is around second base, digging for third.

235
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Jensen's stroke coming in the third.

236
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:44,000
And Gil is in with a standoff triple, deep off the left center field wall.

237
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:52,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a> thought he had a shot for the ball, went right through the wall, but then saw it was too high and before he could back up it had bounded over his head.

238
00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Now Hector scored easily on McDougal's triple, and the Yankees lead 1-0.

239
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:08,000
For Gil McDougal, his seventh triple of the year.

240
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,000
And his 27th run battered in, it brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a> with two outs.

241
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:21,000
And McDougal is third. Bobby, who has been dropped down in the batting order, has been leading off for quite some time, batting 279.

242
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:38,000
18 doubles, 5 triples, one home, and 24 runs battered in. Here's the pitch, it's swung at a missed strike one.

243
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Wind up by Cassell. Pitch is low, ball 1-1-1.

244
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,000
So the base on balls again proves disaster.

245
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:55,000
This time it's Gary Cassell with two out, he walked low-pitch and then McDougal tripled.

246
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Here's the 1-1 delivery. A foul.

247
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Come up here, I thought I had a shot, Mel thought he had a shot, but neither one could reach it.

248
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:25,000
One ball, two strikes.

249
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Here's the wind up. Pitch is lined to left center field, way back there. Geiger going back and makes the running catch just in front of the wall.

250
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,000
After he catches the ball, he brushes into the wall.

251
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Good wood on that ball by Richardson, but not quite high enough.

252
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
For the Yankees, in the top of the second one run, on two base hits.

253
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
No Red Sox errors and one man left to score at the end of an inning and a half.

254
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:57,000
The Yankees won and the Red Sox nothing.

255
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Before we start the bottom of the second, let's pause for station identification.

256
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Quality Modern Radio, WO KO First in Albany, New York.

257
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Remember, Yankee baseball is brought to you by Ballantine Beer and Ale and Atlantic Refining Company.

258
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,000
And Troy Buick follows the game.

259
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackie-jensen/>Jackie Jensen</a> batting 275 will lead off for the Red Sox.

260
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Jackie has 25 doubles, 27 homers, and 98 runs batted in.

261
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:39,000
The pitch to Jackie is outside ball one. Duke Moss on the mound for the Yankees.

262
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Jensen was tied with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rocky-colavito/>Rocky Colavito</a> and Harmon Tilliboo for all the eyes, but Rocky has hit a homer with a man on, gives him an even hundred.

263
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:53,000
The curve is low outside.

264
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Ball two, two and nothing.

265
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Here's a two nothing pitch and there's a drive that deep left center field way back there and up off the screen at the home run.

266
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, that ball, did it hit off the screen or hit off that?

267
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:35,000
It hit the top of the wall. To me it looked like a home run, but <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-rommel/>Eddie Rommel</a>, the center field umpire, center field, a second base umpire who ran out the center field,

268
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:44,000
said a dot nab hit above the screen. Why? To me it looked like the ball hit above the screen on one of those poles hanging down, Joe.

269
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:53,000
But <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-rommel/>Eddie Rommel</a> says no, all the Red Sox players in the bullpen and the ground crew are waving that it was a home run.

270
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Well, that's why from back here we're best off not umpiring.

271
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:07,000
An optical illusion, as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dizzy-dean/>Dizzy Dean</a> would say an optical delusion.

272
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:13,000
But anyway, it's a double for Jensen. Man, was that close to being a home run.

273
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Second hit off Duke Mark, both in doubles, one by Pumpty Green. Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-malzone/>Frank Malzone</a>.

274
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Malzone batting 278. Takes a pitch over strike one call. Frank has 30 doubles, one triple, 18 homers in 87 runs batted in.

275
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Outside, ball one, one, one. And the excitement of the siding, whether that were a home run or not,

276
00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:00,000
forgot to mention that mantle feel of that ball perfectly off the wall. Caught it in the throw, the second almost got Jensen sliding in.

277
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:08,000
But we were so anxious to see what the second base umpire, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-rommel/>Eddie Rommel</a>, would call it that we forgot to mention that fact.

278
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:14,000
If you can play the count off this left field wall, you can throw out a lot of base runners.

279
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:27,000
The one on one to count on Malzone. The pitch is low ball two, two and one. The Yankees one and the Red Sox nothing here in the bottom of the second.

280
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Malzone's another New York boy, born in the Bronx, 5'10", 180 pounds, now lives in Oneonta, New York.

281
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Jensen leading off second. The stretch by Mark. The curve is high outside, ball three, three and one.

282
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:21,000
On deck is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a>.

283
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:40,000
The stretch by Mark. The pitch is fouled back out of play. And it's a full count on Malzone, three and two.

284
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Tank has been the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a> all-star third baseman the last three years in a row.

285
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Here's the stretch by Mark. The curve is hit in the ground, in the hole, backhand knocked down by Kubek with no chance for a play.

286
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:15,000
It'll go as a base hit. He had backhand of the ball and the ball popped out of his glove. It goes as an infield single, but Jensen remained on second base.

287
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:20,000
If Kubek had come up with a ball, he could have thrown Jackie out easily had Jackie decided to run out of the mound.

288
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:25,000
Now Richardson and Beres talking with Duke Moss.

289
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:33,000
With runners at first and second and no one out. Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> enjoying his best year at the plate since he's been in the big league.

290
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:53,000
He's batting two 98s, 12 doubles, four triples, one homer and 38 runs batted in.

291
00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Sammy, a right hand batter, he's 6'395 pounds, born in Wenatchee, Washington, now lives in Sarasota, Florida.

292
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Big right hand hitter. Here's the stretch. The pitch is inside ball one, almost hit him.

293
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Yankees one, Red Sox nothing. We're in the bottom of the second, but the Red Sox are threatening with runners at first and second and no one out.

294
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Here's the stretch. Pitch is hit to right field, a base hit.

295
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Bauer is up with the ball, hits gentle on third, he'll score as Bauer's throw comes into third base and the ball game's tied up.

296
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:47,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a>, punched that ball to right field and that's something Sammy could never do his first few years in the big league.

297
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:57,000
He pulled everything and as a result was easy to play. But now that he's able to punch that ball to right field, he cannot play him as a full hitter any longer.

298
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:05,000
And he becomes a tougher batter and a tougher man to get out of there. Malzone held a second base. Jensen scored, the score's tied 1-1.

299
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:14,000
For <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> his 40th run batted in. For Jensen his 92nd run scored on the year.

300
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Here's Don Button, a short stop with runners at first and second and no one out. Button is hitting 225, has 20 doubles, one triple, 8 homers and 45 runs batted in.

301
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Humpty Green on deck, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-casale/>Jerry Casale</a> due to be the next batter. Yankee Enfield not looking for the sacrifice. Casale's a good hitter, they might find him.

302
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Here's the pitch, he takes it inside ball once out of the swing. Now Button looks down to Billy Jurgis coaching at third. Red Sox fans start applauding, they want a rally.

303
00:37:53,000 --> 00:38:07,000
A lot of interest in this Red Sox team, a lot of good young ball players and they're thinking of the future. Here's the stretch, the pitch is low, ball two, two and nothing.

304
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Charlie is up in the Yankee bullpen. Has Duke Mosses in the jam with a short side 1-1 here in the bottom of the second, no one out and runners at first and second.

305
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Here's the stretch, Curve is in there, take one call. Button shakes his head a little bit and walks out of the batter's box, picks up some dirt and throws it down on the ground.

306
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:52,000
A crowd kind of agreeing with Button that they thought the pitch was low.

307
00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:04,000
As we said before, we thought Jensen's drive was a home run and the umpire didn't, but there's no place to be umpiring from. You've got to be right on the play to call it.

308
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:21,000
And even then it's tough. Dan Button, 5'11", 178 pounds, born in Tebraville, South Carolina.

309
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Here's the stretch, runners lead off first and second. Ball hits deep to Centifield, way back, Mettle going back at it.

310
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:39,000
In the Centifield, bleaches for a home run for Don Button. Man, did he tag that one. Woo hoo!

311
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Don Button, it's his ninth home run of the year, RBI's number 46, 47, and 48 in straightaway Centifield, over 420 feet away.

312
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:06,000
A three run armor for young Don Button. Puts the Red Sox in the lead now, 4-1.

313
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Boy, I'd say that ball was hit. As we told you, the wind is blowing out, but the wind actually didn't help that ball too much.

314
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:22,000
It was a line drive now, mind you, not a high fly. Nicky went back to the Centifield wall and he turned around and almost couldn't believe what he saw.

315
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Ball sailing into the seat.

316
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:37,000
And it looks like that's all for Duke Moss. If the Moss had gotten the Red Sox out in the bottom of the first, giving up a double of green, retiring the next three men,

317
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:45,000
he did not retire a man here in the second inning, so he has just one inning in which he's given up five hits.

318
00:40:45,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Didn't walk anybody or strike out anybody and has allowed four runs. So Duke will be out of there and Bob Kerley is coming on in.

319
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Boy, the way things happen, I'll tell you.

320
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:17,000
The Yankees hit one high off the left Centifield wall. Malzahn beat out an infield single, white single to the right, and Button homered to dead Centifield.

321
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:25,000
So the Yankees are trailing 4-1 here in the bottom of the second inning.

322
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:43,000
And he's barely ready. His first pitch is high outside ball one.

323
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Oh man, there's a home run. Holy, how did he hit that one? That's out of everything here. Over the bench and across the street, Jerry Castell hits his third home run.

324
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:04,000
I don't know how he hit that ball. It was a high fast ball and he swung up at it, and that thing just carried right on out of the park.

325
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Did he hit that one? So Bob Kerley is really greeted in fine fashion. A home run by Jerry Castell, his third of the year, and his ninth run batted in.

326
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Oh man, they tell me he hit one way back here early in the year the same way, right on out of the screen and out of the park.

327
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:39,000
Here's Pumpty Green. He takes the pitch to old ball one. And a Red Sox have scored five turns here in the bottom of the second. They lead 5-1.

328
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:50,000
High, barely ready now. The pitch to Green is high ball two, two or nothing.

329
00:42:50,000 --> 00:43:00,000
We've just been paid a visit by our television director, Jack Murphy. So who's directing the show over there? You're sitting here, Murph.

330
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Joe Cimilli. This is Labor Day and everybody works. There's a drive to deep right center field, way back.

331
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Rattle digging, power digging, and it's in the ball plant for a home run. Oh, I'm telling you the balls are really jumping today. Pumpty Green gets his first major league home run.

332
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:36,000
And he really creamed it. Way over 400 feet in deep right center field in the Red Sox ball plant. His first major league home run and his sixth run batted in on the year.

333
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:46,000
And that's the third home run in a row. We'll have to get Pete Callison to check on what the record is for consecutive home runs in an inning.

334
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:53,000
That's three in a row. Budden, Castell, and Green. The Red Sox now lead six to nothing.

335
00:43:53,000 --> 00:44:01,000
And Bob Fairley has put the two men in and they both home it. Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a>, who fly to left field in the first inning.

336
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:13,000
The curve is over strike one call. Geiger batting 256.

337
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Listen to the crowd buzzing. Curve is low ball one one one. Fairley ready out on the mound.

338
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:45,000
One one pitch is fouled at the plate. Plate two. One ball and two strikes.

339
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:50,000
Three pretty good shots for home runs. Budden hit his in the center field.

340
00:44:50,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Castell right on out of the ball clock over both fences in left field. And Pumpty Green in the bullpen in deep right center field.

341
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:20,000
Here's the one ball two strikes. Low curve is low. Ball two two and two.

342
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Fairley takes a deep breath out on the mound.

343
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Here's his two two delivery. It's up in the air to the left side. Tony Kulback the shortstop getting under it.

344
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:39,000
And make the catch for the first out of the inning.

345
00:45:39,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Geiger pops to Kulback. Brings up Pete Reynolds who fly to left field in the first inning. Reynolds batting 316.

346
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Curve is in the big ball one. On deck Gene Stevens.

347
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Curve is low. Ball two two and nothing.

348
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Two balls no strikes on pistol Pete Reynolds.

349
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:50,000
One out and six runs in. Pitch is hit on the ground at second base. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a> up with it over to Howard and it's two away.

350
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:58,000
And here comes the ninth man to bat in this inning Gene Stevens. So when the first inning bounced to second base.

351
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Stevens is batting 263.

352
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Fairley's first pitch is way inside ball one.

353
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:32,000
On deck <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackie-jensen/>Jackie Jensen</a> who started off this inning.

354
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:50,000
Fairley's next pitch curve is low ball two two and nothing.

355
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Here's the two nothing delivery. Swing and a line drive to right field. That's in there for base hit and extra bases.

356
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Stevens around first picking for second. Bow up with the ball. And Stevens is on at second with a long double in the right field corner.

357
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:21,000
And that's hit number three off Fairley. There have been two homers in a double and here's Jensen who led off the inning with a tremendous double a deep left set up.

358
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:39,000
Jensen is now batting 277. That was his 26th double of the year. Two out and a runner at second. Six runs in the Red Sox are leading six to one.

359
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Most homers in one inning by one club is four.

360
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Here's the pitch to Jensen. The curve is in there strike one call. So Jackie hits one here he can tie the record.

361
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:09,000
Boston Detroit Boston and Boston Boston did a three time.

362
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Here's a stretch by Charlie. Tied on first with a foul back strike two. Nothing into the count.

363
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:31,000
In the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1959/overview/>National League</a> there were five home runs in one inning. The Giants and the Phillies did it.

364
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:43,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a> record is four.

365
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Charlie stretches. Curve is hit high in the air to straight away center field. Mantle's got room for this one as he moves back under it and makes the catch even though that ball was hit real well.

366
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:04,000
And so for the Red Sox in the bottom of the second inning they come up with six runs.

367
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Seven base hits no Yankees errors. One man left on base in the score at the end of two full innings. Boston six and the Yankees one.

368
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Hello there everybody. First half of the third inning. The Red Sox leading six to one for New York.

369
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:54,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/andy-carey/>Andy Carey</a> is going to pinch it for Bob Charlie. Eli Gerber warming up the bullpen.

370
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Jerry Cassell for the five run lead.

371
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:12,000
The Red Sox right hander all set to pinch hitter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/andy-carey/>Andy Carey</a>. The delivery swung on as a high fly ball down the left field line.

372
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:28,000
It is in there for a home run up into the screen for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/andy-carey/>Andy Carey</a>. Pinch hit homer. Just made the screen.

373
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Andy getting his third homer ninth run batted in at sixty two.

374
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:48,000
That ball is hit high down the line. You had to wait to see whether it was going to go foul or not. And it hooks right into the screen.

375
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:59,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a>house talking to Jerry Cassell for a moment.

376
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:14,000
All three of Andy's homers have been against Boston. Two of them up here.

377
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:23,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-bauer/>Hank Bauer</a> batting two twenty nine. Five to left in the first inning. Cassell delivers. Bauer swings and sends a liner over short into left field for a base hit.

378
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Button leap but couldn't get it. He had to wait for him. Bauer singles to left. And now Tony Kubeck comes up.

379
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Hitting two ninety two he fly to left field in the first inning.

380
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:55,000
And the Red Sox bullpen gets the nod from the dugout. Mike Pornilis gets up the throw.

381
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Cassell checks Bauer. The pitch to Kubeck swung on as a fly ball into right center.

382
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Geiger goes over, gets under it, makes the catch. That ball is hit pretty deeply right at the edge of the bullpen.

383
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:28,000
One away and here comes Mantle who hits, is hitting two eighty four. Struck out in the first inning. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a> on deck.

384
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Cassell gets the sign from White. Into the stretch, Bauer with the lead. The pitch to Mantle. Swung on, hit up into the air in the left field and that ball is up against the screen for a home run for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-mantle/>Mickey Mantle</a>.

385
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:57,000
It's signaled a home run by Larry Knapp. It hits the power in the screen or the guide post in the screen in left field.

386
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Mantle collecting his twenty seven homer and sixty nine runs batted in. And it's now six to four.

387
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:22,000
The support that holds the screen up above the fence. The ball hits that and rebounded to the playing field and Larry Knapp immediately signaled homer.

388
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Five home runs here in the last inning and a third. Or counting the bottom of the third and the top, bottom of the second and top of the third in the last four outs I would say.

389
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a> hitting two eighty four. The delivery is in there for a strike. Berra single the right center in the second inning.

390
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Mickey Hominoff to sale on August 16th. Pitch to Yogi. Yogi hits a high fly to right, not deep. Jensen's under it and makes the catch.

391
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:39,000
Two down and here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elston-howard/>Elston Howard</a> grounded his short into a double play. Six to four Boston. It's the first of the third.

392
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Here's Eric you say to the wind up then comes the pitch to Howard. Outside ball one. One ball no strikes.

393
00:55:54,000 --> 00:56:00,000
In comes the next pitch. Slung on, looped over first down the right field line for a base hit. The ball twists toward the line.

394
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Howard rounds first, heads for second and goes in with a stand up double. Getting a collection of extra base hits around here today.

395
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:20,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hector-lopez/>Hector Lopez</a> coming up. Drew a walk in the second inning.

396
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:35,000
The Yankees have had six hits. Four of them for extra bases. Red Sox have had eight hits. Six of them for extra bases.

397
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Lopez batting 284. Two men out. Cassell delivers inside. It nicked him. It nicked him on the arm and he's aboard.

398
00:56:55,000 --> 00:57:10,000
It nicked him on the shirt somewhere. He was trying to get back and pitch it inside. It didn't hurt him. It just nicked him wherever he was.

399
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:30,000
Howard on second. Lopez on first with two outs in the third inning. Three runs in. Red Sox leading 64.

400
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Cassell ready. Pitch to Gill. Slung on in this second.

401
00:57:50,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Winds blowing out today. Cassell into the set. The pitch to McDougal. Slung on. A ground ball hit out short.

402
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:12,000
Up with it as Budden flips to Pumpty Green to Fork Lopez. And the side's retired. Three runs for New York.

403
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:23,000
Four hits. Two of them homers. No Red Sox errors. Two Yankees left on. At the end of two and a half innings to play, Boston six. New York four.

404
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:33,000
And hear this. Ballantine beer is the crisp kind of light with true Lager flavor. That's why folks call it the crisp for freshers.

405
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:43,000
You can't go outside, won't you? Treat your thirst to Ballantine.

406
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Eli Gerber coming in to pitch in the last of the third.

407
00:58:53,000 --> 00:59:08,000
Cassell's ready. Came on in the second inning with nobody out. Hits one inning. Gave up three hits. Two of them homers.

408
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:15,000
A lot of two runs. Maws give up five hits and four runs.

409
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:24,000
The Yankees will be home Wednesday night, Thursday afternoon with Kansas City Tigers Friday and Saturday afternoons. Doublehead over the Indians next Sunday.

410
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:35,000
A make up game a week from today with Cleveland on the 14th. And the White Sox are in Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons the 15th and 16th.

411
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:47,000
Eli Gerber, making his 15th appearance for New York, has a record of one and four. First two appearances were in release against Boston, both here in July.

412
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Started against them August 15th in New York and was knocked out in the third inning.

413
00:59:53,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Boston won the game 12-4.

414
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:13,000
The Tigers got six runs in the fourth inning to lead Cleveland 12-4, 10-4 innings.

415
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:21,000
Six to four Boston here in the last of the third. Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-malzone/>Frank Malzone</a> at bat. White and Button to follow. Malzone hitting 279.

416
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:34,000
The pitch in there, Frank won. Frank grounded a single to short in the second inning.

417
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:42,000
Gerber to the windup again and the pitch, swung on, bounced over the head of the pitcher out over second in the center for a base hit.

418
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:50,000
Malzone holds up after the turn as Mantle field the ball, relays it back into Bobby.

419
01:00:50,000 --> 01:01:15,000
Malzone opens the third with a single to center and here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> hitting 300. Having a good year, single to right in the second inning.

420
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Gerber checks Malzone, pitch to White in there, Frank won. White has never hit 300 with the Red Sox.

421
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:37,000
Hits 282 and 281 on two occasions. Lifetime average at 261 going into the year.

422
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:46,000
So of course this is by far his best season at bat. A seasoned performer too.

423
01:01:46,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Over to first, Malzone's back. Bell Baker howling, come here. Six to four Boston third inning, nobody out. The pitch, low outside, a 1-1 count.

424
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:36,000
Gerber ready. Here's the pitch and it's in there for a strike, one and two.

425
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:51,000
One ball, two strikes. Gerber studies Yogi-san. Into the stretch, Malzone leads away from first. Here's the pitch. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> swings and sends the bouncer out back to second.

426
01:02:51,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Two back over to Richardson for one throw to first, too late. Four side at second. Two back to Richardson. The ball has not hit too hard. Had it been hit a little harder than the base fifth, Two back had time to go back to the bag and flip to Bobby.

427
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:23,000
Two three later first was not nearly in time. Now down Budden steps in. Line to home run into the bleachers straightaway center. Was two on last inning. Batting 226.

428
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Six four Boston third inning. Gerber delivers to Budden outside low by one.

429
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:59,000
Throw to first and White almost is caught napping.

430
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:06,000
Gerber has not yet gone into pitching position. He's trying to get the rubber and he saw White looking in and trying to get the side and threw quickly over.

431
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:13,000
Now we're ready and they pitch to Budden, swung on. Little roller hits toward third. McGoogle after her he grabs it, fires on to first and gets him.

432
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Moving on to second is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a>. Howard throws on down to Richardson but White didn't make the turn.

433
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:43,000
Now here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-casale/>Jerry Casale</a> who's in a home run in the second inning. Batting 188.

434
01:04:43,000 --> 01:05:10,000
Casale hit one a mile high as the expression goes and over the screen.

435
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:28,000
Gerber delivers inside for a ball. One ball no strikes.

436
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:41,000
The right hander ready and the pitch. High and inside two nothing. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sam-white/>Sam White</a> leads off second.

437
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:46,000
All the years I've been coming to Boston I did a little sightseeing this morning.

438
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:56,000
Did you too Joe? Yeah we ran over by Harvard University. I've been over there.

439
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:02,000
I do broadcast football games in Mississippi campus.

440
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:14,000
Here's the pitch swung on. A little roller hits slowly. McGoogle at one hand it flips on to first in time and the side's retired.

441
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:18,000
No runs, one hit, no errors, one left on.

442
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:30,000
A friend of ours here, young Peter Walt, whose grandfather used to be connected to baseball with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/minnesota-twins/1959/overview/>Washington Senators</a> as a co-owner, left the bunker hills.

443
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:39,000
So a place where Paul Revere got the signal. This is the North Church, the tower.

444
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:52,000
Samuel Adams, what do we see with Samuel Adams? A place where he was buried, that's right, and mother and father Benjamin Franklin.

445
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:58,000
Yeah, is that right?

446
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:09,000
A lot of things, boy. The Boston Commons, very, very wonderful city.

447
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:16,000
Got things that are old and things that are new, things that have been in great tradition.

448
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:22,000
By the way that reminds me, you know they've been brewing valentine since about 1839?

449
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:41,000
That's a long time, man, and they know how to do that. This kind of like the two log of flavor, valentine beer, the crisp perpetuity.

450
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Baltimore 3, Washington nothing under 4 1 half innings, Kansas City, Chicago, scoreless under 2 1 half. Tigers 12, Indians 4 under 4 1 half.

451
01:07:52,000 --> 01:08:02,000
Tigers beat the stadium next Friday and Saturday afternoons. Milwaukee 3, Pittsburgh 1 under 2 1 half.

452
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:13,000
Philadelphia 2, Cincinnati nothing under 3. The only other game underway at the moment. Yankees at home Wednesday night with Kansas City.

453
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:21,000
And Thursday afternoon. Tigers Friday and Saturday afternoon. The Indians next Sunday, doubleheader, make-up game next Monday.

454
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,000
And the White Sox Tuesday and Wednesday the 15th and 16th.

455
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:37,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a> leading off, hits the first pitch over third in the left field corner. Stevens cuts the ball off neatly and Bobby is held to a single.

456
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:45,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a> in the fourth inning leads off with a line single into the left field corner.

457
01:08:45,000 --> 01:09:13,000
Bobby was hitting 279. Eli Gerber coming up.

458
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:18,000
The foul on deck. Malsone shortened up at third.

459
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:27,000
The pitch is bonnet foul coming all the way back down the screen.

460
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:47,000
Gerber had three for 12, getting two five oh.

461
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:51,000
There goes Richardson. Pitch is swung on and missed there. The throw down is too late.

462
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:59,000
Still in base for Richardson. Got the jump on him. Hurrying White's throw. Bobby field second.

463
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Pitch is a strike.

464
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:29,000
No ball, two strikes, six for Boston, fourth inning.

465
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Derrick has sailed to the stretch. The two strike pitch swung on and foul down the third baseline.

466
01:10:48,000 --> 01:11:04,000
Don't forget <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a> Day, Saturday, September the 19th. The Red Sox final visit to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>. Friday night the 17th, Saturday and Sunday afternoons the 18th and 19th.

467
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:13,000
The pitch to Gerber swung on and missed, strike three.

468
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:36,000
One away now and here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-bauer/>Hank Bauer</a> who's flying to left and singles to left.

469
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:44,000
Six for Red Sox, fourth inning.

470
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:49,000
Cassell's delivery to Hank is outside ball one.

471
01:11:49,000 --> 01:12:07,000
You have Hank plenty of room in straightaway center and just a little off to the right of that. And some room along the right field line. They play him to pull.

472
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:12,000
Here's the delivery. Swung on and missed. Strike one, one and one.

473
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:30,000
Hank went for the equalizer. Mike Fornilas loosening up.

474
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:36,000
One ball, one strike.

475
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:45,000
Here's the pitch. Swung on to a fly ball in the short center. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a> drips in under it and makes the catch.

476
01:12:45,000 --> 01:13:11,000
And Tony Kubeck comes to bat. Hitting 292 he flied to left and flied to center.

477
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:23,000
Two men out now on the fourth inning.

478
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:36,000
The pitch to Kubeck is a little bit outside, ball one.

479
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:47,000
Like to see a lot of you folks from Kenmore and Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Corning, Elmira, Binghamton, all come down for Farage.

480
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:51,000
Swing and a miss. Strike one, one and one.

481
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:57,000
White Sox just scored twice and the last is a third to lead Kansas City 2-0 into three.

482
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:09,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tito-francona/>Tito Francona</a> just blasted a three-run homer to make it 12-7 with the Indians still batting in the fifth.

483
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Here's the pitch to Kubeck. He swings and hits the drive to right center. Geiger digs for it, still going and he one hands it toward the wall.

484
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:30,000
The inside is retired. No runs, one hit, no errors and one left on. Great play by gameguide. And listen to the hand.

485
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Bumsy Green doubled to the left and hit a homer. And for those of you who might have just joined us, Red Sox hit three consecutive homers in the second inning,

486
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:44,000
the time they've made the league record for most consecutive homers in an inning. Most total homers in an inning though is five.

487
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:55,000
The pitch swung on and missed. Strike one. Red Sox leading six to four, last of the four.

488
01:14:55,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Gerber's delivery, a little bit low in the count, one and one.

489
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:16,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/marty-keough/>Marty Keough</a> is out on deck, going to hit for Geiger. The pitch to Green swung on. There's a fly ball in the left.

490
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Lopez getting back and makes the catch.

491
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:29,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/marty-keough/>Marty Keough</a> now is coming up to hit for Geiger and most likely will replace him in center field.

492
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:40,000
I'll try to give you some word of the injury to Geiger, although he walked off the field.

493
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:48,000
Keough, a left-hand hitter.

494
01:15:48,000 --> 01:16:00,000
Batting 2.41. Red Sox six, Yankees four, last of the four.

495
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:05,000
Eli Gerber, third Yankee pitcher. End of the wind up the delivery.

496
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:21,000
Pure ball inside, ball one. Woody Hales just did a home run in the fifth inning.

497
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:29,000
Next pitch is swung on and fouled off out of play. One and one.

498
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:37,000
The Indians are tearing it up out there in Cleveland. They were behind 12 to four as they went to bat in the last of the fifth.

499
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:46,000
And they've scored four runs that we know of.

500
01:16:46,000 --> 01:17:02,000
The pitch to Keough, high, and the count is two and one.

501
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:16,000
The 2-1 delivery. Swung on, fouled off out of play. Jump onto the roof. A 2-2 count.

502
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Baltimore leading Washington three to nothing into five and a half innings.

503
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:32,000
White Sox leading Kansas City two to nothing into three and a half.

504
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Two balls, two strikes on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/marty-keough/>Marty Keough</a>.

505
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:42,000
Eli Gerber to the wind up. Here's the pitch. Keough takes strike three calls.

506
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:48,000
Pure ball caught him looking. Now Pete Ronald, fly to left and ground at the second.

507
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:56,000
Three-fifteen. Braves four, Pirates one, end of three innings.

508
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:09,000
Philadelphia two, Cincinnati nothing, end of four and a half innings.

509
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:35,000
The pitch is to Ronald, swings and hits the drive down the left field line and it is going foul. Strike one.

510
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:40,000
The one strike pitch. Swung on line over third to left field for a base hit.

511
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:44,000
Taken on a hop by Lopez. Whipped his throw back in.

512
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,000
And Ronald is on with a line single to left.

513
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:52,000
Bringing to the plate Gene Stevens who grounded the second and doubled the right.

514
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,000
Hitting 266.

515
01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:00,000
Cleveland came back with five runs in the fifth inning.

516
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:07,000
So they're back in the ball game. Detroit 12, Cleveland nine, ten to five innings.

517
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:14,000
Morgan relieved Wojtek in the fifth. For Cleveland, St. Garcia, McLeish, Perry, Seacotton score.

518
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:19,000
Home runs, Colavita one on, Francona two on and Hells.

519
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:26,000
Pitch to Stevens is high. Bowling, Homer for Detroit, Berberette the two on.

520
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:31,000
It's going to be a great one for the Indians to pull out if they pull it out.

521
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:35,000
Fine, 12, four to 12, nine.

522
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:41,000
And the pitch. Swung on. There's a drive out to right. Bauer coming on and makes the catch.

523
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:47,000
They retire the side. No runs, one hit, no errors. One left on. Ten to four innings to play.

524
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:54,000
Boston six, the Yankees four.

525
01:19:54,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Get your ice cold Valentine beer and enjoy the crisp kind of life with true lager flavor.

526
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:08,000
And now we're on the go again as this is Bob Delaney with the rest of the ball game brought to you by the Atlantic Refining Company

527
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:13,000
and your neighborhood Atlantic dealer, the folks who keep your car on the go.

528
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:24,000
Atlantic keeps your car on the go. For business, for pleasure, in any kind of weather. Atlantic keeps your car on the go.

529
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:32,000
When you want to go places and do things, what a pleasure your driving can be.

530
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:40,000
For quality products and not-not service your Atlantic dealer is a pleasure to me.

531
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:51,000
Atlantic keeps your car on the go. Don't keep on the go. Wait for that landing.

532
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:56,000
Mandel, Barra, and Howard. Next pitch is a strike. The count's one and one.

533
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:02,000
Mickey struck out in the first inning and hit a homer with one aboard in the third.

534
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Batting 286. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-casale/>Jerry Casale</a>.

535
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:16,000
He's lined up around, comes with the right arm. The pitch is swung on and missed. Strike two.

536
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:27,000
Mandel swung from Boylston Street dead time.

537
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:31,000
Now the delivery. It's in there. Call strike three.

538
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:39,000
One away. Here's Yogi Barra batting 284.

539
01:21:39,000 --> 01:22:06,000
Single the right center and flying to right. Six-four Red Sox, fifth inning.

540
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:16,000
Casale to the wind up. Here's the pitch. It's in there. Strike one.

541
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:24,000
The game's starting to settle down a little bit after a riotous last of the second and top of the third.

542
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:27,000
Next delivery, swung on and missed. Strike two.

543
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:32,000
Red Sox did three home runs in a row in the last of the second as he just looked in.

544
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:45,000
That's tuned in. And the Yankees got a pair in the top of the third.

545
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:51,000
Two strikes on Barra.

546
01:22:51,000 --> 01:23:12,000
Casale delivers and Yogi fouls it off on a tech swing, the ball glancing over toward the on deck man, Elton Howard, and bounce into the fan.

547
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:25,000
I'd like to see a lot of you folks from Hartford, New Britain, Bridgeport, New Haven, Westport, Stratford, Greenwich, Norwalk, Stamford come out to Yogi Barra today.

548
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Here's the pitch, swung on and grounded foul down the first baseline.

549
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:36,000
Saturday the 19th, the Yankees and the Red Sox play.

550
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:40,000
How about around New London, Connecticut where Yogi was stationed for a while.

551
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:43,000
I bet he'd like to see a lot of you folks there that day.

552
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:58,000
A little guy who has made a lot of baseball history and one of the best-liked men in the business.

553
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:13,000
Jericho Sal delivers to Yogi, swings and lifts a high pop-up, pumps the green out on the grass and very short right and makes the catch. Two down.

554
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:29,000
Elton Howard batting 279 steps up, grounded the short end of a double play in the second inning and double the right in the third inning.

555
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:43,000
We'll see some folks from Trenton come to Yogi Barra today all over Jersey. Howard hits the pop-up, scored first.

556
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:47,000
White calls for it and makes the catch in fair ground.

557
01:24:47,000 --> 01:25:03,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left on. At the end of four and a half innings, the Red Sox 6, the Yankees 4 and into the bottom half of inning number 5 at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/fenway-park/>Fenway Park</a> in Boston where the Red Sox lead the Yankees 6 to 4.

558
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:13,000
And that's the final game between these two ball clubs in Boston.

559
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:23,000
We have a report on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a> who injured himself.

560
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:30,000
He suffered a slight concussion on the left side of the head and is being taken to the hospital for x-rays.

561
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:36,000
However, it's not believed the injury is serious at all. He was able to walk off the field under his own power.

562
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:48,000
So that's a favorable report, but for precautionary purposes he's being taken to the hospital for x-rays to make sure that there is no possible fracture.

563
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:57,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackie-jensen/>Jackie Jensen</a> leads off in the last half of the fifth.

564
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:07,000
One for two, 276. The Red Sox score all six runs that they have in the second inning.

565
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:25,000
Eli Gerber to the wind up the pitch to Jackie. Low outside, ball one.

566
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Now the pitch. It's outside, ball two.

567
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:47,000
Malzone on deck and White to follow.

568
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:59,000
And the next delivery. Low outside, ball three.

569
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:13,000
Three-nothing count on Jensen.

570
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:22,000
The three-nothing pitch. It's ball four, outside.

571
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:32,000
It's first base on balls given up to the Red Sox.

572
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:45,000
Jackie's had one walk. Malzone, single to short and single to center. Two for two, hitting 281.

573
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:52,000
Jackie with a good lead off first. Throw it to first, he's back.

574
01:27:52,000 --> 01:28:12,000
Another throw over, he's on the bag. Another throw over, he's back.

575
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:25,000
Gerber checks Jackie. Another throw over, he's back. This is a recording. Another throw over, he's back.

576
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:35,000
Here's the pitch swung on to high pop-up out back in second. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a>, under it and makes the catch.

577
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:47,000
It's first base, Jensen was slowly retreating. He's back.

578
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:54,000
Sammy Charles White, single to right and grounded to short, hitting 299.

579
01:28:54,000 --> 01:29:04,000
Enjoying his best year as a hitter with the Red Sox. Always been one of the standout catchers, receivers in the league.

580
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:27,000
Hitting the ball with great regularity. The pitch fastball high, ball one.

581
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:34,000
Jensen with a good lead. And the pitch swung on. Ground ball hits the Kubek. He bobbles it.

582
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:40,000
Flips to Richardson, back to first and he still gets a double play.

583
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:50,000
White takes his helmet off and just flips it up into the air. Kubek bobbled the ball about three or four times and still they completed the double play.

584
01:29:50,000 --> 01:30:04,000
I tell you this though, the ball was sharply hit. Had nothing to do with Sammy's not hustling. The ball was sharply hit. He had time to play tag with it a while and still come up with it.

585
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:12,000
Jerry Gassale out taking his warm-up pitches as we move now into the top of the sixth inning.

586
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:40,000
Silver Zudow moving now over to the radio side. And Silver Zudow moves into our microphone.

587
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:48,000
Well here we are back on radio as we get ready to go in the top of the sixth inning.

588
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:59,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hector-lopez/>Hector Lopez</a> who walked and was hit by a pitch ball takes the pitch over strike one call.

589
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:03,000
Lopez batting 284.

590
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:11,000
Jerry Gassale ready. The ball is hit to left field. Gene Stevens right there. He got it off the end of his bat and makes the catch.

591
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,000
Didn't quite get the good one on the ball.

592
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:37,000
Went away and here's Gil McJugger. Gil tripled a deep left center field and then bounced in on fourth play. Batting 237.

593
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:46,000
Jerry Gassale had a rocky second and third inning but Billy Jurgis stuck with him and now the youngster has settled down.

594
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:51,000
Hector McDougall is low ball one.

595
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:57,000
Retired the last seven Yankees in a row.

596
01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:11,000
There's a change in their strike one one on one. He's been relying on the change up and sinker since the third inning when the Yankees had two homers a double and a single to score three runs.

597
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:15,000
They had scored one in the second inning.

598
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:33,000
Here's a one one pitch. It's low outside. Ball two two and one.

599
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:35,000
Here's a two one pitch.

600
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:39,000
Gil takes it low outside ball three three and one.

601
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:45,000
Here he's got his hands on his hips again.

602
01:32:45,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Those pitches have been moaning a little bit on called strikes and balls.

603
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:05,000
Here's a pitch.

604
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:22,000
Strike two. Full count on McDougall.

605
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:37,000
Ready now for the payoff pitch. Here it is a ground ball right back to the box on one hop. Gassale to run those in time for the outs. And looks like Jerry was having a little trouble with the sun that time. Ball hit off home plate high in the air.

606
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:41,000
He had a weightless kind of got out of the sun.

607
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:51,000
He still had plenty of time to get McDougall. That's two way. Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a> who lined the center and single left has stolen the base today.

608
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:56,000
Bobby batting to eighty one.

609
01:33:56,000 --> 01:34:14,000
Two out nobody on Red Sox six Yankees for the pitchers lower ball one.

610
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:21,000
Wind up and the pitchers line a lot better field digging over his game. Stevens he can't get it off the wall.

611
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:25,000
He'll up with it. It's so in a second base Richardson slides and he's in there with a double.

612
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:28,000
Boy Bobby hit that ball hard today.

613
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:35,000
Line of the center line on the left and a line of the left center.

614
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:40,000
That's it. Number eight off the sale.

615
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:45,000
And for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a> his 14th double of the year.

616
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:51,000
Eli Gerber is coming up to bat for himself and not using a pen sitter.

617
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:57,000
Gerber represents the tying run at the plate.

618
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:04,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/andy-carey/>Andy Carey</a> who pinch hit for Bob Charlie Homer in the third inning.

619
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:22,000
Gerber is one time at bat struck out.

620
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:34,000
It's been a second with two men out here in the top of the sixth and the Red Sox leading six to four.

621
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:52,000
That change up little screwball again.

622
01:35:52,000 --> 01:36:09,000
One strike on Gerber Richardson leads off second base.

623
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:15,000
Stevens <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/marty-keough/>Marty Keough</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackie-jensen/>Jackie Jensen</a> in the outfield and Jensen is very shallow in right field.

624
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:22,000
Richardson really have a job scoring on a single right. Pitch is swung at him. That's that low breaking ball again.

625
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:36,000
On deck <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-bauer/>Hank Bauer</a>.

626
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:43,000
One ball two strikes and two outs.

627
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:49,000
Here's a stretch to pitch. The ground ball hit the second base pump the green back up with a big hop.

628
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:52,000
Over to Reynolds in time for the out.

629
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:56,000
And Cattail gets out of that one for the Yankees in the top of the sixth.

630
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:01,000
No runs one hit no Red Sox errors. One man left to score at the end of five and a half innings.

631
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:06,000
The Red Sox sixth and the Yankees four.

632
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:14,000
In the sixth for the Red Sox lead. Red Sox going all their runs in the second inning routing starting to get Duke Moss.

633
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:21,000
And following up on Bob Curley. Eli Gerber has been on since then and has pitched very effectively.

634
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:33,000
The Yankees have picked up four runs but Cattail likewise seems to have settled down after a rather rough start.

635
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:48,000
Don Button leads off. He had a home run in the centerfield seat his first time up.

636
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:58,000
White Empire does drop home plate and Don Button moves into the batter's box.

637
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:11,000
And the man had it better as Eli Gerber looks in to pick up the sign from Cattail <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a>.

638
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:16,000
Button heading out to twenty eight.

639
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,000
Wind up and the pitch.

640
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:26,000
Low and inside ball one.

641
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:29,000
Perfect day for baseball.

642
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,000
Perfect day for the beach too.

643
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:39,000
Look at this the Indians have tied up the score they've come up with three more runs in the sixth inning and the score is tied twelve twelve.

644
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:45,000
Man what a comeback that is for Joe Gordon and his Indians who were behind twelve four at one time.

645
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:50,000
Here's the pitch. Brown ball hit the second base Richardson up with the ball on the big hop throws to Howard in the dirt.

646
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:58,000
Howard scooped it out for the first out and was one away as Jerry Cassell comes to the play will pause for station identification.

647
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:04,000
W.O.K. on all of it in New York Yankee baseball brought to you by Valentine Beer and Ale and the Atlantic Refining Company.

648
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:14,000
Remember Jim Rayner and Troy Deergrunda follows the game today.

649
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:22,000
Jerry Cassell hit that tremendous home run in the second inning right on out of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/fenway-park/>Fenway Park</a> over both fences.

650
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:26,000
Then bounce the third base is batting one eighty four.

651
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:29,000
That's three homers on the year.

652
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:45,000
I can't hit a really take the ripple of the ball.

653
01:39:45,000 --> 01:40:13,000
The curve is one strike pitch is a curve in the dirt ball one one one.

654
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:23,000
On deck Humpty Green.

655
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:28,000
Here's one one pitch. It's all to me and what a cut he had about one.

656
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:33,000
I'll set it off Yogi just for that one ball to strike.

657
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:41,000
He goes for broke when he swings all or nothing.

658
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:53,000
He has nine base hits on the three homers and two doubles.

659
01:40:53,000 --> 01:41:09,000
One ball two strikes the count.

660
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:12,000
The wind up side on curve is right.

661
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:22,000
Try to check his swing but one around the girl to get the second strike out.

662
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:30,000
And it brings up Humpty Green who doubled and homered and then fly the left field green batting to sixty six.

663
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:39,000
I'm looking young ball player.

664
01:41:39,000 --> 01:42:01,000
Batting left handed against Eli Gerber two men around with nobody on and Boston leading six four here on the bottom of the sixth low curve is over strike one call Howard is in a person.

665
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:11,000
Here's the wind up pitch is low inside ball one one one.

666
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:28,000
On deck Marty field.

667
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,000
Curve is a little bit high ball two.

668
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:57,000
Two one the count.

669
01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:05,000
Here's the wind up the two one pitch the green is a ground foul at the plate bounces up and hits Humpty in the lake to and to the count.

670
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:11,000
You know the Indians are getting mighty close to tying a record one two three four five seven.

671
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:26,000
They have their seventh pitcher pitcher in there now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-bell/>Gary Bell</a> and the record for most pitchers in a game for one club nine in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a> St. Louis against the White Sox October 2nd 1949.

672
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:39,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1959/overview/>National League</a> is a quite a few clubs all that record and the most pitchers in the game by both clubs 12 in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a> as a foul back on the screen.

673
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:57,000
The count holds a two and two Tigers have used three pitches so far that's a total of 10.

674
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:13,000
No one on Austin leading six four.

675
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:40,000
Three of them pull right across the end here for the Red Sox in the bottom of the third no run no hit no Yankees and nobody left and the score at the end of six for any red stock pick and the Yankees for.

676
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:44,000
The Yankees.

677
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:48,000
Milwaukee leads Pittsburgh five to one.

678
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:52,000
And they're stunning of the first game of two games there.

679
01:44:52,000 --> 01:45:04,000
The other time contenders in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1959/overview/>National League</a> San Francisco and Los Angeles will be playing later all of San Francisco beginning underway in about 20 minutes the Dodgers play tonight.

680
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:10,000
The Red Sox are leading off as we move into the seventh inning.

681
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:16,000
Jerry Cassell doing the pitching for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/boston-red-sox/1959/overview/>Boston Red Sox</a>.

682
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,000
Thanks.

683
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,000
31.

684
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:30,000
Take the pitch low ball one.

685
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:34,000
Four.

686
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:42,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> is coming back taking it to the screen and makes the catch just about a foot in front of the screen and back of the plate.

687
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:44,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> stayed with that ball.

688
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Remember the wind is blowing out and normally that ball would have landed on the screen but the wind blew it back onto the playing field.

689
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,000
White made the catch one away.

690
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:54,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tony-kubek/>Tony Kubek</a>.

691
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:56,000
Tony has hit the ball hard all day.

692
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:00,000
But hasn't had a base hit.

693
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:08,000
And on his last line drive to deep right center <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a> made that sensational catch which put him out of the ball game.

694
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:12,000
Right after he caught it he crashed into the fence in front of the Red Sox.

695
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:14,000
Wolf Phantom was taken out of the game.

696
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:17,000
I don't know how he held on to the ball but he did.

697
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:20,000
Kubek batting 291.

698
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:33,000
The sales pitchers a curve in there strike one call.

699
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:39,000
On deck <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-mantle/>Mickey Mantle</a>.

700
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:51,000
Next pitchers a change up a little bit high ball one one one one.

701
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:55,000
Mike Fourneelys is up again in the Red Sox bullpen.

702
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:59,000
He was up quite a bit in the early innings when Cattrall was in trouble.

703
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:02,000
There's a drive to deep right center again.

704
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:11,000
And this time they can't get it and bounces into the Red Sox bullpen for a double and that was almost in the exact spot that Kubek hit the last one.

705
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:15,000
On which Geiger made that sensational catch.

706
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:23,000
Which makes Geiger's catch even more sensational.

707
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:26,000
Because this one dropped in for a double hit number nine.

708
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:31,000
Tony has hit the ball hard four times and has been able to get just one base hit.

709
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:35,000
It'll bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-mantle/>Mickey Mantle</a> who was called out on strike twice and home it.

710
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:39,000
To the opposite field high up on the light tower in left field.

711
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:43,000
Mickey batting 285.

712
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:45,000
Red Sox lead six four.

713
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:48,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> out on the mound talking with Jerry Cassell.

714
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:53,000
Every time Cassell throws that fastball the Yankee batters have been racking it up.

715
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:59,000
But when he takes something off the pitch he's been getting by.

716
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:04,000
Who first wants to know from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> whether Cassell's elbow bothers him.

717
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-mckinley/>Bill McKinley</a> the plate umpire is out there now talking with Cassell.

718
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:11,000
And wait a minute here comes Billy Jurgis that's all for Cassell.

719
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:15,000
He's not going any further with him.

720
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,000
Billy Jurgis is not taking any chances.

721
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:24,000
He went a lot further with him and a lot of managers would have gone.

722
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:31,000
Because the youngster was really in trouble in the second and third innings.

723
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:44,000
But Billy went with him long enough for him to stay in and pitch real fine ball after the third inning.

724
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:51,000
Jurgis has signals for a new pitcher from the bullpen.

725
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:56,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-mckinley/>Bill McKinley</a> talking with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/casey-stengel/>Casey Stengel</a> now.

726
01:48:56,000 --> 01:49:05,000
Heidi Ford meanwhile takes time to run down in the Yankee bullpen just in case the Yankees might need a relieved pitcher.

727
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:09,000
From the bottom of the seventh inning the White Sox fail to score.

728
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:13,000
And now Eddie Yosa just homing in the seventh with one on.

729
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:17,000
And the Tigers go ahead 14 to 12.

730
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:21,000
Howdy Mike Best.

731
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:26,000
What a year that Yosa's having. Boy.

732
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:31,000
But right here Jerry Cassell is coming out of there.

733
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:35,000
Looks like he's been having a little arm trouble.

734
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:40,000
And Mike Fornelli.

735
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:47,000
Right handed relief out of some Havana Cubase coming on.

736
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:55,000
So Jerry Cassell has picked six in one third innings.

737
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:58,000
He's given up nine base hits.

738
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:03,000
Walked only one man, struck out three, and has allowed four runs.

739
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:07,000
Kubek down to second is Cassell's responsibility should he score.

740
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:13,000
So Jerry cannot be the losing pitcher, but he could be the winning pitcher, which would give him his first win over the Yankees.

741
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:21,000
The youngster leaves to a nice round of applause from the Red Sox and Yankee fans alike.

742
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:25,000
Fornelli's coming on.

743
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:30,000
The 5'11", 172 pounds from Havana, Cuba.

744
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:54,000
That <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-mantle/>Mickey Mantle</a> the batter representing the tying run of the play. Kubek leaves to a second. The pitch to Mickey is a curve over strike one call.

745
01:50:54,000 --> 01:51:00,000
The action in both both fans, Wiley Porter loosening up for the Yankees.

746
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:04,000
Pitch is inside.

747
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:09,000
One on one to count.

748
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:19,000
Fornelli's rubs up the ball.

749
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:26,000
Nelson Sheatham.

750
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:34,000
The pitch is over. A change up curve. Caught the outside corner one ball, two strikes.

751
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:46,000
Downman and Sheatham up in the Red Sox both fans.

752
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:55,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> now talking with Don Budden and Mike Fornelli is out on the mound. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-mckinley/>Bill McKinley</a> walking out to break it up.

753
01:51:55,000 --> 01:52:00,000
And they break it up before McKinley gets out there.

754
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:04,000
One ball, two strikes on Mickey. One out. Kubek down at second.

755
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:20,000
Yankees trailing by two. It's 6-4 here in favor of the Red Sox and they're top of the seventh.

756
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:22,000
Here's the stretch.

757
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:45,000
The tackle ball is inside. Two and two to count.

758
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:48,000
Fornelli's into his stretch position.

759
01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:57,000
Strike three swinging. He got him on a low sinker. Mickey went after it and didn't get it. That's his third strike out.

760
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:03,000
Of the day, Jerry Castile has struck him out twice both on third court strike.

761
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:07,000
Here's Yogi Berro who's single to fly to right and pops to second.

762
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:16,000
Yogi batting 283.

763
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:27,000
On deck <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elston-howard/>Elston Howard</a>.

764
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:51,000
Kubek at second base with two away. Here's the stretch and the pitch is a curve foul outside of first right in the Red Sox dugout. Strike one.

765
01:53:51,000 --> 01:54:03,000
Third court continues to loosen up.

766
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:24,000
Fornelli's pitch is hitting the ground at second base. Green was right up with it. Over to Ronalds inside for the out and Fornelli's pitch is a south relief job right there. Getting out of the jam after Kubek had doubled for the Yankees in the top of the seventh. No runs on one hit. No Red Sox errors and one man left in the score at the end of six and a half innings.

767
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:28,000
The Red Sox sixth and the Yankees fourth.

768
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:38,000
In the fourth inning we'll come up for a second time at bat. Keel was called out on strike his first time at bat.

769
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:45,000
Left hand hitters batting 240.

770
01:54:45,000 --> 01:55:01,000
He'll be followed by Pete Ronalds and Gene Stevens and if somebody should get on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackie-jensen/>Jackie Jensen</a>.

771
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:06,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-mantle/>Mickey Mantle</a> talking to some of the fans out the center field pleases.

772
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:22,000
As the Red Sox fans are taking their lucky seventh inning stretch.

773
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:28,000
I like her brother on the mound.

774
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:34,000
Here's a pretty good ball since he went in there.

775
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:50,000
Here's his first pitch to Keel. High curve ball one.

776
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:52,000
Verber ready again.

777
01:55:52,000 --> 01:56:09,000
Pitch is high outside. Ball two, two and nothing.

778
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:17,000
Two balls, no strikes. Nobody out, nobody on. We're in the bottom of the seventh.

779
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:23,000
Two nothing pitch is high ball three, three and nothing.

780
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:36,000
Indians failed to score on the bottom of the seventh so the score remains 14 for the Tigers and 12 for the Indians playing the top of the eighth inning.

781
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:46,000
Indians have bounced back from that ball game to see if they can do it again. There's a strike.

782
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:54,000
Kansas City failed to score on the top of the eighth and the White Sox are leading 2-1 playing the bottom of the eighth. Billy Pearce who has been out for quite some time with an injury.

783
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:59,000
And then they had a whole game and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ned-garver/>Ned Garver</a> doing the pitching for Kansas City.

784
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:16,000
There's a moment in that game for the only run. There's a strike call. Full count on Marty Keel.

785
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:23,000
Ready now for the payoff pitch. Garver winds up. Check the pitches. High ball four. He lost them.

786
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:37,000
Garver with his hands on his hips and Yogi shaking his head. They thought that pitch was in there. Another pitcher for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-guardians/1959/overview/>Cleveland Indians</a>, Gary Locke.

787
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:44,000
That's the eighth pitcher. And the record is nine. They've tied the record for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1959/overview/>National League</a>.

788
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:59,000
Garver has lost most pitches in one game by one club, which is eight, but the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a> is nine.

789
01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:09,000
Keel is on first base. Pete Reynolds who is one foot three single left his last time at bat. He flied the left and bounced the second before that.

790
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:18,000
He's batting three seventeen. Pitch is bonded. Garver up with a stop the second throw to first. He gets Reynolds, but Keel slides in safely.

791
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:27,000
The sacrifice works from the pitcher to the first baseman covering. And it brings up Gene Stevens who bounced the second double to right and fly to right.

792
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:36,000
Stevens batting two sixty-five. Billy Jurgis playing for another run.

793
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:56,000
He didn't know Reynolds was a good hitter. He didn't want to take the chance of the double play, but he's got Stevens and Jensen coming up.

794
01:58:56,000 --> 01:59:04,000
One man out here on the bottom of the seventh. Gene Stevens, the left hand hitting left fielder.

795
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:10,000
Garver sits, looks back at the runner at second. Curve is lined in the center field as the base hit. Here comes Keel around third.

796
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:18,000
He'll score easily, man up with it, and the Red Sox lead seven to four. Billy Jurgis playing for that extra run. Got it.

797
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:29,000
Got it real quick too. Keel scores. Hits number three off Garver. The first run they scored off Garver. They scored four off Moss, two off Curly.

798
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:40,000
And the Red Sox lead seven to four for Stevens. His 32nd run batted in on the air. That's the second hit of the ball game.

799
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:52,000
And here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jackie-jensen/>Jackie Jensen</a> who doubled, fly to center and walks. Jackie batting two seventy-six.

800
01:59:52,000 --> 02:00:16,000
One away. Stevens leads off first. Here's a stretch. The pitch is high, ball one, on deck, bank, mile zone.

801
02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:26,000
Quick throw to first for Stevens' back. Gene had a busted leg earlier in the year. Looks like he's recovered completely.

802
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:36,000
Another throw and Stevens has a half slide back in the first base with more of a jump.

803
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:48,000
Stretch and the pitch is on the inside corner. Strike one, one, one. Throwed a quick pitch, Jensen, that time he wasn't ready.

804
02:00:48,000 --> 02:01:02,000
One-on-one and count on the Red Sox slugging right field end.

805
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:21,000
Here's a stretch. The pitch is outside, ball two, two and one. Al Shroll, a big right hander up in the Red Sox bullpen now.

806
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:35,000
And Blaylock for the Yankees. Soft toss to first, Stevens' back in plenty of time.

807
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:44,000
Quick throw that time but Stevens was just about a half a step off. And Jensen steps out of the box.

808
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:55,000
Jackie doesn't want to be quick pitched again.

809
02:01:55,000 --> 02:02:07,000
Here's a stretch. Pitch is fouled back out of play.

810
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:27,000
Two and two to count on Jensen.

811
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:37,000
There we got himself a new ball. Stevens leads off first. Here's a stretch. There goes Stevens. The ball is strike three.

812
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:49,000
The throw to second is not in time. Jensen is called out on strike. But Stevens steals the base.

813
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:58,000
And with two out, here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-malzone/>Frank Malzone</a> who is two for three. Single is short, single is tenor and pop is second. Malzone batting 280.

814
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:05,000
Jackie, Jensen took a fast ball right down the middle. You know, it bothers some batters when a runner is stealing.

815
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:15,000
They take their eye off the pitch. The Tigers fail to score on the top of the eighth and the Indians are batting on the bottom of the eighth, leading two runs to size.

816
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:35,000
Out of score, 14 to 12. Tigers lead. Pitch is outside ball one on Malzone.

817
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:47,000
Derby checks the sign from Yogi. Stevens leading off second base. Stretch. Pitch is low. Ball two.

818
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:18,000
Derby ready now. Sidearm curve is inside. Ball three, three and nothing. On deck, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a>.

819
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:26,000
Malzone looks at Billy Jurgis coaching his third, hoping to get the green light and swing it out three nothing pitch.

820
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:38,000
Pitch is outside. Low ball four. Derby walks his third man as Malzone goes to first. Now with Stevens at second and two out, here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> to catch it.

821
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:58,000
Sammy's single to right in the second inning of the drive in the run. He scored a run and bounced in on a fourth play and hit in with double play. Batting 298.

822
02:04:58,000 --> 02:05:11,000
Red Sox lead seven to four. We're in the bottom of the seventh.

823
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:35,000
Here's the stretch. Pitch is in there, strike one call.

824
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:45,000
Derby ready again. Malzone leading off first. Stevens off second. Two men are out.

825
02:05:45,000 --> 02:06:06,000
Stretch. Pitch is low outside. Ball one, one, one.

826
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:21,000
Call the ball head popped out of the bullpen, picked up by one of the ground crew. Now we're ready to go.

827
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:29,000
Derby set again. The Red Sox lead seven to four in the bottom of the seventh. Two out, two on. Here's the stretch.

828
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:58,000
Down one pitch. Low curve is in the third ball two, two and one.

829
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:17,000
Here's the stretch. Pitch is a curve, low again ball three. Three and one to count. On deck is Don Budden.

830
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:42,000
Pitch is low outside. Ball four, the bases are loaded.

831
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:48,000
The bases are loaded with two out in Nevada coming up due to the Don Budden and he's taken out for a pink hit.

832
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:56,000
Budden will hold it in the center field leashes. He's taken out for a pink hit of Vic Wirtz and while Wirtz is coming on we'll pause for station identification.

833
02:07:56,000 --> 02:08:09,000
This is W-O-K-O in Albany, New York. Remember Yankee baseball is brought to you by Valentine Beer and Ale and Atlantic Refining Company and remember Jim Rayner and Troy Burek-Rounder follows today's game.

834
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:20,000
Something very unusual, Don Budden who had homered with two on in the second inning is being taken out for a pink hit of Vic Wirtz.

835
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:31,000
Wirtz batting 263 has ten doubles, seven homers and 45 runs batted in. The bases are loaded with two out and the Red Sox leading in the ball game seven to four.

836
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:40,000
Means we'll have a new shortstop for the Red Sox. Eli Gerber can pitch from his windup now. Here is the windup.

837
02:08:40,000 --> 02:09:01,000
Hector Wirtz is low ball one. Stevens is at third now zone is second. And it is, bounces over Lopez's head one run in, two runs in. Here comes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a>, the throw to the plate is not in time and Vic Wirtz clears the bases.

838
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:12,000
How do you like that for a pink hitter? Vic Wirtz hits one to the left center field, bounded high off the scoreboard. Back over <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hector-lopez/>Hector Lopez</a>'s head before Mantle's relay throw.

839
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:22,000
Three runners have scored. And Vic Wirtz is coming out of the ball game after clearing the bases with that double.

840
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:39,000
And the Red Sox now lead in the ball game ten to four and they've scored all ten runs in just two innings, six in the second and four here in the bottom of the seventh.

841
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:48,000
Mahoney who will go into play short for the Red Sox in place of Budden is out there running for Vic Wirtz.

842
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:59,000
And here is the pitcher Mike Fornelis. He swings and misses a curve. Strike one.

843
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Man that eighth spot in the batting order for the Red Sox has been real potent. Don Budden had a homer in three RBIs and Wirtz had a double in three RBIs.

844
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:18,000
The curve is hit on the ground and short. Two back up with it. Over to Howard in time for the hours.

845
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:29,000
As eight men go to bat that inning for the Red Sox, they come up with four runs on just two base hits.

846
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:43,000
Three walks by Gerber very instrumental in that big inning. No Yankee errors and one man left the score at the end of seven full innings. The Red Sox ten and the Yankees four.

847
02:10:43,000 --> 02:10:52,000
The Red Sox lead by six as we go to the top of the eighth inning.

848
02:10:52,000 --> 02:11:02,000
Yankees following a day off tomorrow meet Kansas City Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. Friday and Saturday the Tigers are in.

849
02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:08,000
Then a doubleheader against Cleveland on Sunday, a make up game on Monday.

850
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:25,000
And the White Sox climax the final Eastern trip of the Western Club as they're in Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th.

851
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:33,000
Here's Ellie Howard. Mike Cornelis-Pitch inside ball one.

852
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:41,000
He's over two. Cleveland batting in the bottom of the ninth.

853
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:46,000
Trailing by two runs 14 to 12. Here's the pitch.

854
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:52,000
Line drives Powell into the left field seats and the count is one ball and one strike.

855
02:11:52,000 --> 02:12:12,000
Helston batting 279. Red Sox ten Yankees four.

856
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:22,000
The Tigers hit on the ground slowly to short. Mahoney up with it. I thought a first he's out just is out.

857
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:30,000
Mahoney took a lot of time waiting for that ball to come down and took his time throwing the first and almost pulled Ronald off the bat.

858
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:52,000
The Yankees tried them out with a ground ball. Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hector-lopez/>Hector Lopez</a> who walks hit by a pitch ball and flies to left batting 284.

859
02:12:52,000 --> 02:13:06,000
Curve is outside ball one.

860
02:13:06,000 --> 02:13:24,000
Cornelis next pitch is low outside ball two two and nothing. On deck Gil McDougal.

861
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:41,000
Two nothing pitch is low outside ball three. Three and nothing to count.

862
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:56,000
Three nothing pitch is low ball four. Lopez walks. And that'll bring up Gil McDougal.

863
02:13:56,000 --> 02:14:02,000
Gil tripled Boston with fourth play and hit back to the pitcher batting 237.

864
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:13,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-mckinley/>Bill McKinley</a> is throwing somebody out of the game. Let's see is it <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/casey-stengel/>Casey Stengel</a> or who is it? Somebody is being drawn out of the game.

865
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:21,000
And look at Casey Casey is mad boy he's following McKinley all around. He wants McKinley to stop and talk with him.

866
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:32,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/casey-stengel/>Casey Stengel</a> we haven't seen Casey do this in a long time he's out of the game. Man look at Casey go.

867
02:14:32,000 --> 02:14:42,000
Boy he won't let McKinley get away. He's following him all over the park and arguing.

868
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:49,000
Boy Casey is really hot and look at McKinley. I've never seen McKinley this mad before.

869
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:58,000
Evidently Casey's been getting on McKinley all through the game.

870
02:14:58,000 --> 02:15:15,000
Boy Casey really really was mad and so was McKinley. And Stengel is ejected from the ballpark.

871
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:26,000
And Stengel professor really blew his sack that time.

872
02:15:26,000 --> 02:15:49,000
And now the ball is transated up. Casey is out of the yard. Here's the pitch for McJugger. It's not far out of play strike one.

873
02:15:49,000 --> 02:16:06,000
McJugger with one away the pitch is low outside ball one one one.

874
02:16:06,000 --> 02:16:31,000
One ball one strike and one out. The stretch in the pitch is low inside ball two two and one.

875
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:36,000
Red Sox 10 Yankees four we're in the top of the eighth inning.

876
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:44,000
Pitch is lying in the center field right at Marty Keele. Boy he hit that ball right on the nose.

877
02:16:44,000 --> 02:16:51,000
But it's two away and here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a>.

878
02:16:51,000 --> 02:17:03,000
The White Sox won their ball game two to one. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-pierce/>Billy Pierce</a> picks himself a fine seven hitter. Garva picks an eight hitter.

879
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:10,000
Baltimore shut out Washington seven to nothing. We'll give you a final run down the score at the end of this inning.

880
02:17:10,000 --> 02:17:17,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bobby-richardson/>Bobby Richardson</a> who lined a center single left and double a left center. He's also stolen the base.

881
02:17:17,000 --> 02:17:31,000
He takes the curve over strike one call batting two eighty one.

882
02:17:31,000 --> 02:17:48,000
The stretch and the curve is low ball one one one. Two men are out.

883
02:17:48,000 --> 02:18:08,000
The pitch is low. No it's not. It's strike two call. One ball two strikes.

884
02:18:08,000 --> 02:18:18,000
The ball nearly sets. Ball bounced way in front of home plate blocked by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-white/>Sammy White</a> two and two to count.

885
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:24,000
The runners did not advance. The runner did not advance. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hector-lopez/>Hector Lopez</a> at first.

886
02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:34,000
Two out two balls two strikes. Boston ten and the Yankees four.

887
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:45,000
One run foul outside of third.

888
02:18:45,000 --> 02:18:52,000
Another White Sox won another one run ball game.

889
02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:59,000
They won something like thirty two one run games this year. Boy that makes a big difference.

890
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:05,000
The pitch is swung at a missed strike three. Got him in a high inside fastball.

891
02:19:05,000 --> 02:19:10,000
So the Yankees in the top of the eighth. No runs no hits no Red Sox errors and one man left.

892
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:16,000
Score at the end of seven and a half innings. Boston ten and the Yankees four.

893
02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bunning/>Jim Bunning</a> has just gone in for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/detroit-tigers/1959/overview/>Detroit Tigers</a> in the last of the ninth so it could be that the Indians trailing by two have something going.

894
02:19:25,000 --> 02:19:35,000
A ball game that's the Indians come from a twelve to four deficit to tie the score at twelve twelve and then <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/eddie-yost/>Eddie Yost</a> hit a two run homer to make it fourteen to twelve.

895
02:19:35,000 --> 02:19:49,000
But the Indians in the last of the ninth may have something going and will of course keep you up to date on that one.

896
02:19:49,000 --> 02:20:02,000
Jerry Blaylock has come on the pitch for the Yankees as we go to the bottom of the eighth with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-blanchard/>Johnny Blanchard</a> in there replacing <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a>.

897
02:20:02,000 --> 02:20:12,000
Incidentally when Bunning went in in the ninth inning that ties a record in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1959/overview/>American League</a> for most pitchers used by both clubs a total of twelve.

898
02:20:12,000 --> 02:20:26,000
The Indians used eight and the Tigers four. White Sox defeated the Kansas City A's two to one and so the Cleveland ballgame is of vital importance to Cleveland.

899
02:20:26,000 --> 02:20:33,000
Just barely holding on in the remains of the American Lake Panadri.

900
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:52,000
All right Billy. Austin 10 Yankees four.

901
02:20:52,000 --> 02:21:06,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-blaylock/>Gary Blaylock</a> first pitch is a slow curve that's lower ball one. Derbys struck out green on a change of curve. Maybe the Yankees are trying to find something out for next year.

902
02:21:06,000 --> 02:21:22,000
Blaylock next pitch side on fastball is in their strike one curve. Boy he came in with a cross by the wicked pitch.

903
02:21:22,000 --> 02:21:41,000
Wind up another fastball this one low. Ball two two and one.

904
02:21:41,000 --> 02:22:04,000
Wind up and the fastball is on the inside corner count even a two and two on deck Marty Peel.

905
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:18,000
The pitch is lined right at Gil McDougall at third. Boy Green got good wood on that one to the opposite field but lined it right at Gil one way.

906
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:37,000
Things up Marty Peel who took over for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-geiger/>Gary Geiger</a> who was injured making that sensational catch on Tony Kubik in the fourth inning. Peel has struck out and walks he scored one run batting 240.

907
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:51,000
He's a curve inside ball one.

908
02:22:51,000 --> 02:23:18,000
Blaylock started his wind up stop now he's ready. Low curve is lined foul and the pitch is on the right field line one on one the count.

909
02:23:18,000 --> 02:23:24,000
Here's the one one delivery curve bounces and is there right back to the screen.

910
02:23:24,000 --> 02:23:32,000
Two and one.

911
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:39,000
On deck Pete Reynolds.

912
02:23:39,000 --> 02:23:56,000
One pitch low curve way outside ball three three and one.

913
02:23:56,000 --> 02:24:02,000
Fastball inside ball four. Peel walks for the second time.

914
02:24:02,000 --> 02:24:12,000
Pete Reynolds who fly to left after second single left and sacrifice one for three for that one batting 317.

915
02:24:12,000 --> 02:24:34,000
Howard starts leading 10-4 we're in the bottom of the eighth.

916
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:43,000
Howard holding first.

917
02:24:43,000 --> 02:25:04,000
Fastball is over strike one one on one.

918
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:11,000
Quick throw to first. Peel back.

919
02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:13,000
In the stretch.

920
02:25:13,000 --> 02:25:18,000
Pitch is hit on the ground up the middle and knocked down but no chance for a play.

921

Kubik knocked it down.

922
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:26,000
Now he got to the ball a great play by Kubik but he couldn't quite hold on to it as a base hit for Reynolds.

923
02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:30,000
Looked like he didn't have a chance to come up with a ball.

924
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:35,000
He slapped out at the last second and tried to knock it to Richardson just couldn't do it.

925
02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:42,000
Both stopped and back at second base. Runners at first and second now with one out and here's Gene Stevens who has singled and doubled.

Stevens has one RBI.

928
02:25:55,000 --> 02:25:58,000
That can't hit him.

929
02:25:58,000 --> 02:26:03,000
One out.

930
02:26:03,000 --> 02:26:07,000

934
02:26:55,000 --> 02:27:16,000
Curve is low ball two two and one.

935
02:27:16,000 --> 02:27:34,000

Two balls two strikes one out two men on.

937
02:27:37,000 --> 02:27:49,000
In the bottom of the eighth inning game that's almost three hours old.

938
02:27:49,000 --> 02:28:13,000
Pitch is low inside at the full count three and two.

939
02:28:13,000 --> 02:28:24,000
Here's the stretch. Runners go the ball is taken ball four. Oh wait a minute it is bat as he tried to duck out of the way it hit his bat and popped out of Blanchard's glove.

940
02:28:24,000 --> 02:28:30,000
Both runners go back they were going it was a bad ball and Stevens tried to duck back out of the way.

941
02:28:30,000 --> 02:28:45,000
Just as thick as that. Blanchard held on to the ball both runners would have had a stolen base they had good jump.

942
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:52,000
Here they go the ball is taken low ball four.

943

945
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:32,000
That's Terry is up in the Yankee bullpen.

946
02:29:32,000 --> 02:29:53,000
Laylock will pitch from his full wind up now here's the wind up. Curve in the dirt ball one.

947
02:29:53,000 --> 02:30:02,000
One nothing pitches pop foul out of play down the right field line way back in the seat.

948
02:30:02,000 --> 02:30:17,000
One on one the count.

949
02:30:17,000 --> 02:30:26,000
Here's the wind up pitches Einstein ball to two one.

950
02:30:26,000 --> 02:30:32,000
How do you like that Cleveland scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning the winners. What a game.

951
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:39,000
15 14 all a lot of comebacks but Joe Gordon is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-guardians/1959/overview/>Cleveland Indians</a>.

952
02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:42,000
How do you like that they had to win that game and they won it.

953
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:47,000
Here's the pitch is line of center field digging in metal.

954
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:50,000
He can't get it.

955
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:53,000
One run in two runs in.

956
02:30:53,000 --> 02:31:02,000
Stevens is being held up a third and Jensen's in with a double as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mickey-mantle/>Mickey Mantle</a> try to make a two string catch.

957
02:31:02,000 --> 02:31:04,000
Couldn't quite get through the ball.

958
02:31:04,000 --> 02:31:14,000
Jensen drives in two runs which gives him 100 on the year.

959
02:31:14,000 --> 02:31:18,000
And the Red Sox now lead in the ball game 12 to 4.

960
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:22,000
Jensen at second. Stevens at third and here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-malzone/>Frank Malzone</a>.

961
02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:27,000
Malzone is two for three two singles pop to the second baseman and walk.

962
02:31:27,000 --> 02:31:34,000
Jensen hit that ball a low line drive that metal try to run it under the dead run and catch off the shoe top.

963
02:31:34,000 --> 02:31:35,000
Couldn't do it.

964
02:31:35,000 --> 02:31:45,000
Only fast backing up by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hank-bauer/>Hank Bauer</a> kept it from being an inside the park.

965
02:31:45,000 --> 02:31:51,000
Malzone is in their strike one call.

966
02:31:51,000 --> 02:31:56,000
Man what a finish for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cleveland-guardians/1959/overview/>Cleveland Indians</a>.

967
02:31:56,000 --> 02:32:09,000
That will give you a complete run down of that score and all the scores right at the end of this inning.

968
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:28,000
The farm curve is high outside ball one one one only one out.

969
02:32:28,000 --> 02:32:41,000
This is popping the air to short left field Kubek going back in front of the box makes the catch in foul territory both runners have to hold.

970
02:32:41,000 --> 02:32:47,000

Sammy batting to 98 they just put the ball up there.

972
02:32:52,000 --> 02:33:04,000
The Indians when it's 15 or 14 16 hits for the Indians 13 hits for the Tigers and neither team made an error.

973
02:33:04,000 --> 02:33:08,000
Boy that's what makes that some ball game.

974
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:13,000
They tied a major league record for the most pitches in one game.

975
02:33:13,000 --> 02:33:31,000
Well but there's a wind up a pitch to white low ball one.

02:33:46,000 --> 02:33:57,000
This is a strike ball rolled a little bit away from Blanton.

979
02:33:57,000 --> 02:34:03,000
Three one pitches hit on the ground a first base what a hop that took but how it's up with the throw to play lock in time for the out.

980
02:34:03,000 --> 02:34:07,000
Boy what a bounce that one took he hit it right over the end of his bat.

981
02:34:07,000 --> 02:34:15,000

986
02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:58,000
That's rich low one and one. Blanchard batting just 160 has one double one homer and two runs batted in.

987
02:34:58,000 --> 02:35:15,000
12 to four and favor the Red Sox as a pitch low ball to two and one.

02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:57,000
When he's ready his change up is hitting the ground a second. This could be a green to shortstop back to first double play.

1002
02:37:57,000 --> 02:38:03,000
The game's over. From green to Mahoney back to Runnels and the ball game is over.
