Hi everybody, this is Phil Rizzuto welcoming you to another game in the 13th straight year of Yankee baseball as brought to you by Ballantine Bills.
Today the Yankees meet the Boston Redcocks here at Fenway Park in the Yankees last appearance here in Boston.
For the New York Yankees leading off playing right field Hank Bob. Johnny Krubeck is at shortstop today batting in the second position.
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.
So he figures a day or two rest might get him climbed up a little more.
When he puts him back in the lineup he'll start belting that ball the way he knows he can.
Nicky Mantle is in center field hitting third. Yogi Berra batting in the clean up spot and doing the catching.
Elston Howard at first base hitting fifth. Hector Lopez batting in the sixth position playing left field.
Gil McJugle batting seventh and playing third base. At second base hitting in the eighth position Bobby Richardson and doing the pitching and batting ninth, Duke Maas.
For the Boston Red Sox leading off playing second base Pumpski Green. Gary Geiger batting in the second position and playing center field.
Pete Reynolds will be playing first base batting third. Gene Stevenson left field batting in the clean up spot. Ted Williams not in the starting lineup.
Jackie Jensen batting fifth playing right field playing third base and batting sixth Frank Malzone. And there go the Red Sox out on the field.
Everybody's worrying about the White Sox and the Indians who's going to win the pennant between the two of them.
But the Yankees are playing the Red Sox today.
Sammy White doing the catching batting seventh. Don Budden batting eighth playing shortstop and Jerry Cassell doing the pitching and batting ninth.
Ready to go. Hank Bauer 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.
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.
Jerry was born September 27th 1933 in Brooklyn, New York. He's 6'2", 200 pounds. Still lives in Brooklyn.
Cassell's story reads like a movie.
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.
Hank Bauer stepping into the batter's box batting 230. Hank has 17 doubles, nine homers and 34 runs batted in.
Hank Corsetti coaching at third base. Ralph Houser down at first. On deck Tony Kubek. 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.
A curve ball on the outside part of the plate.
Cassell lost to the Yankees 8-5 back on August 11th losing to Duke Maas 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.
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.
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.
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, Gary Geiger 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.
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.
Kasell ready. The pitch is low ball two, two nothing. On deck Mickey Mantle. So the ballgame starts off right away with a spectacular play by the Red Sox left fielder Gene Stevens.
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.
Souvenir for Tom Yorkey.
Owner of the Red Sox.
As a fellow that doesn't need a baseball.
Yorkey has been a great man for baseball and for baseball players.
Real sportsman.
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.
He's got glasses on too.
Not that that makes any difference. A lot of ball players wearing glasses.
Just like plucking cherries.
He's got two to count on Tony Kubeck one out and nobody on. No score on the top of the first.
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 Mickey Mantle.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cassell in the lineup the pitch is foul below it bouncing off the screen.
Count holes at one ball and two strikes.
Yankees have won only three games here at Fenway Park all year while losing seven. They've won four in lower sport of the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. Season series stands at seven wins for the Yankees and 11 for the Red Sox.
Here's a pitch to Mickey high outside ball two two and two.
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.
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.
Mickey is called out on strike. The pitch caught the inside corner.
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.
Well.
I'm cold Valentine dear.
Yes sir, it's like the song says, to be crisp a beer must have lightness plus true lager flavor.
And Mr. Valentine's got them both.
So enjoy the crisp refresher first chance you get.
Out on the mound for the Yankees today, Duke Marsh.
Marsh has won 12 and lost 6 on the year.
And against the Red Sox he has 3 wins and 1 defeat.
And his lifetime record against Boston 11 wins, 10 defeats.
Lifetime record in the big leagues, 38 wins and 41 defeats.
The announcement just came over the public address system to us here on the radio and television booth
that Ted Williams has been feeling very poorly and came out of the park today,
but was sent back to his hotel room.
He did not accompany the Red Sox on their last swing through the west or the east.
But we thought they had a conference with Tom Yorkey,
owner of the Red Sox, and to his future plans with the Red Sox,
but because of his illness it didn't materialize so we thought they might have some news on Ted's future plans,
but as of now we do not have any.
Elijah Pumpsie Green, switch hitting second baseman, takes the pitch high ball one.
Green's batting.256. He's slipped quite a bit since the Yankees were in town.
He was over the 300 mark last time we were here.
He has three doubles, two triples, and five runs batted in.
Six feet tall, 175 pounds, born October 27, 1934 in Oakland, California.
Fouls the next pitch off Bill McKinley's net. One on one to count.
Last time we were in town, Green injured his right thumb making a tag at second base.
And to put him out of action for a little while, that could be the cause of his slump
because any time your thumb is injured you have trouble gripping the bat.
You can get away with other fingers, but not the thumb.
Curve is low, ball two, two and one.
Billy Jurgis, the skipper of the Red Sox coaching at third, and Del Baker down at first.
Rudy York, the batting coach, hitting on the steps of the Red Sox dugout.
Here's a fastball that's high outside, ball three, three and one.
No score here on the bottom of the first. On deck, Gary Geiger.
The three-one pitch is down the middle, strike two called. Three and two to count.
We know that Billy Jurgis is the only manager in the American League to manage on the base pass.
The National League, Sally Hemis, gets out there.
The ball is popped into left center field, throwing way back, Nadel chasing it.
And can't get it, it's off his glove. He kicks it off the wall, green around first, around second, and holds on.
Long double to deep left center field. Nadel got his glove on the ball, couldn't hold on to it.
And as it pounded off the wall, he kicked it.
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.
A double to left center field for Green, his fourth double of the year.
It was well hit and with the wind blowing out, the ball carried.
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.
Purest got the fingers of his glove on the ball, couldn't hold on to it.
Here's Gary Geiger, the center fielder.
Geiger's batting 257. Has 10 doubles, 4 triples, 10 homers, and 44 runs batted in.
Gil McGoogle moves way in at third base. Geiger, a left-hand hitter.
The pitch is low outside 4-1.
Gary Murl Geiger, born in Sand Ridge, Illinois, 6'1", 164 pounds.
Came to the Red Sox along with first baseman Vic Wurtz from Cleveland in a deal for Jimmy Pearce.
That was back in 1958.
Green leading off second base, a stretch by Mott, and the pitch is outside ball two, two and nothing.
Casey Stengel said Gary Geiger was a sleeper in that deal and not Vic Wurtz,
on whom the Red Sox had counted for much of their power.
Vic not had too good a year physically.
He was batting 263 with 10 doubles and 7 homers, 45 runs batted in.
That's not a typical Vic Wurtz year.
But you can never count on the injuries.
Alright, here's a stretch. The two-nothing pitch is right down the middle.
Strike one call.
On deck, Pete Reynolds.
Interesting note on Geiger, he was a pitcher from 1954 through 1958.
Had one year where he won 20 and lost only seven pitching 26 complete games.
There's a clear line.
Paul almost gets Del Baker to first base coach.
See that Del can still move around and goes through a few antics down at first base.
Looks like he was jitterbugging there for a minute.
He's going through the count on Geiger. So how about that Geiger?
Won 20 ball games for 26 complete games out of the 28 games that he started.
That's quite a record.
Alright, here's a stretch.
Pitch is hit deep to left field.
Lopez going back near the wall.
And makes a beautiful leaping one-hand pass against the scoreboard in left center field.
Green, who was all the way to third, has to scamper back.
We're getting some mighty fine plays here right in the first inning.
Gene Stevens came up with one.
Off Hank Bauer, who led off the ball game.
Mantle almost came up with one off Pumpty Green.
Dying for his two-string catch on Green's double.
And then Hector Lopez made one as he went back as far as he could and leaped as high as he could
and caught the ball just before it hit the scoreboard.
One out. Green remains at second base. Here's Pete Reynolds.
Pete batting 317. Has 32 doubles, 4 triples, 6 homers, and 46 runs batted in.
James Edward Runnels, nicknamed Pete.
Pitch to Runnels is a curve hit. Deep to left field again.
Lopez going back in front of the scoreboard this time.
Makes the catch, not hit quite as deep as the one by Gary Geiger.
And the left-hand hitters are shooting to left field.
The first three hitters were left-handed, as is the fourth hitter, Gene Stevens.
But the first three hit to the opposite field.
Green to left center and Geiger and Runnels to left.
They're not getting around on the ball.
But of course with the short left field wall here in Boston, it's just 315 feet down the line
and it moves almost straight across.
But in right field it's really deep.
380.
Two out. Green at second. No score. The curve to Stevens is low.
Ball one. Stevens batting 264. 10 doubles, 1 triple, 3 homers, 31 runs batted in.
Glenn Eugene Stevens, 6385 pounds.
Pumpty Green still at second base.
On deck, Jackie Jensen.
Slow curve is hit on the ground at second base. Richardson coming in fifth.
Up with a throw at the first. In time for the outs.
A nice play by Bobby Richardson on a slow ground ball.
For Boston in the bottom of the first, no runs on one base hit.
No Yankees errors and one man left.
And the score at the end of one full inning.
The Yankees nothing and the Red Sox nothing.
Take a look at the scoreboard. It's a mighty important one for both leagues today.
In the American League, three double headers.
This is the only single game in the American League.
Washington is at Baltimore for a double header.
In the first game, Washington failed to score on the top of the first.
Kamara pitching against O'Dell.
Kansas City is at Chicago for two games.
And Detroit at Cleveland for two.
And in the first game,
Detroit has just come up with four runs on the top of the second and lead Cleveland 5-2
with Cleveland batting in the bottom of the second.
Foytack for the Tigers, Garcia, Scott, and McLeach in the second and Perry in the second.
Rocky Colavito hit his 40th home of the year in the first inning with a man on for the Cleveland Indians.
That gives Rocky the league lead in the American League tied with Ernie Banks who has 40 now in the National League.
And in the National League, Chicago at Los Angeles playing the night.
St. Louis at San Francisco will start later on.
Pittsburgh and Milwaukee and Philadelphia, Cincinnati all starting later on.
For the Yankees, coming to bat here leading off in the top of the second inning, Yogi Berra.
Yogi batting 283 has had 24 doubles, one triple, 19 homers, and 65 runs batted in.
And the mention of the 19 homers reminds us that on September the 19th,
it'll be Yogi Berra Day at Yankee Stadium against the East Stadium Red Sox.
Patel's Pitchfrey Yogi is in there, strike one called.
In the Kansas City-Chicago game, the batteries have just come in.
Garber for Kansas City and Billy Pierce for the White Sox.
Pitchfrey Yogi is in the dirt, ball one, one-on-one.
Yogi Berra.
Ready, the pitch is lying in the right center field of base pitch for Yogi.
Jensen going over, backhands the ball, nice play.
Yogi around first, starts the second and comes back.
A beautiful defensive play by Jackie Jensen.
Holds Yogi to a long single and listen to that crowd.
Jensen running as hard as he could to his right, backhanded a ground ball.
A beautiful play and held Yogi to a long single.
That's the first hit for the Yankees.
Jackie Jensen was the most valuable player in the American League last year.
Brings up Elston Howard, Howard batting 278.
Pitch to Elston is strike one, he swings and misses.
Runnels holding first against Yogi.
Elston has 22 doubles, 4 triples, 17 homers and 68 runs batted in.
The pitch is a ground ball, a shortstop, Budden to Green for one, back to first, double play.
Beautifully executed by the young keystone combination of John Budden and Pumpty Green.
That's another plus in favor of Pumpty Green, he can make that double play.
Here's Hector Lopez with two outs, nobody on, and at the top of the second,
a score on the ball game, Lopez batting 284.
Hector has 24 doubles, 5 triples, 20 homers and 82 runs batted in.
The tailpitch is high, ball one.
That's four just misses outside, ball two, two and nothing.
Good sheet crowd here today at Fenway Park.
Really a pretty park to watch the game from, there's not a bad sheet in the house.
Here's the pitch, it's a little ball three, three and nothing.
The tail with his hands on his hip.
I figure that one was just high enough to have been called a strike.
Bill McKinley, the play don't fire, doesn't think so.
His decision is what counts. On deck for the Yankees, Gil McDougal.
The three nothing pitch is high, ball four. And again, the tail puts his hands on his hip.
Thought that one was in there, there's the first base on balls given up in the ball game.
Lopez is first in the batter, Gil McDougal.
Gil batting 236, has 15 doubles, 6 triple, 4 homers, 26 runs batted in.
Toronto told him first, against Hector Lopez, two out, nobody has scored in the ball game as yet.
The wall in front of the lower box, the back of third, juts out at a sharp angle.
So that sometimes base hits, just go over third base.
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.
If he doesn't hustle out, the batter could get a double.
Here's the pitch, hits the deep left center field.
Going back is the center fielder, it's off the wall.
Lopez will score. McDougal is around second base, digging for third.
Jensen's stroke coming in the third.
And Gil is in with a standoff triple, deep off the left center field wall.
Gary Geiger 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.
Now Hector scored easily on McDougal's triple, and the Yankees lead 1-0.
For Gil McDougal, his seventh triple of the year.
And his 27th run battered in, it brings up Bobby Richardson with two outs.
And McDougal is third. Bobby, who has been dropped down in the batting order, has been leading off for quite some time, batting 279.
18 doubles, 5 triples, one home, and 24 runs battered in. Here's the pitch, it's swung at a missed strike one.
Wind up by Cassell. Pitch is low, ball 1-1-1.
So the base on balls again proves disaster.
This time it's Gary Cassell with two out, he walked low-pitch and then McDougal tripled.
Here's the 1-1 delivery. A foul.
Come up here, I thought I had a shot, Mel thought he had a shot, but neither one could reach it.
One ball, two strikes.
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.
After he catches the ball, he brushes into the wall.
Good wood on that ball by Richardson, but not quite high enough.
For the Yankees, in the top of the second one run, on two base hits.
No Red Sox errors and one man left to score at the end of an inning and a half.
The Yankees won and the Red Sox nothing.
Before we start the bottom of the second, let's pause for station identification.
Quality Modern Radio, WO KO First in Albany, New York.
Remember, Yankee baseball is brought to you by Ballantine Beer and Ale and Atlantic Refining Company.
And Troy Buick follows the game.
Jackie Jensen batting 275 will lead off for the Red Sox.
Jackie has 25 doubles, 27 homers, and 98 runs batted in.
The pitch to Jackie is outside ball one. Duke Moss on the mound for the Yankees.
Jensen was tied with Rocky Colavito and Harmon Tilliboo for all the eyes, but Rocky has hit a homer with a man on, gives him an even hundred.
The curve is low outside.
Ball two, two and nothing.
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.
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, that ball, did it hit off the screen or hit off that?
It hit the top of the wall. To me it looked like a home run, but Eddie Rommel, the center field umpire, center field, a second base umpire who ran out the center field,
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.
But Eddie Rommel says no, all the Red Sox players in the bullpen and the ground crew are waving that it was a home run.
Well, that's why from back here we're best off not umpiring.
An optical illusion, as Dizzy Dean would say an optical delusion.
But anyway, it's a double for Jensen. Man, was that close to being a home run.
Second hit off Duke Mark, both in doubles, one by Pumpty Green. Here's Frank Malzone.
Malzone batting 278. Takes a pitch over strike one call. Frank has 30 doubles, one triple, 18 homers in 87 runs batted in.
Outside, ball one, one, one. And the excitement of the siding, whether that were a home run or not,
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.
But we were so anxious to see what the second base umpire, Eddie Rommel, would call it that we forgot to mention that fact.
If you can play the count off this left field wall, you can throw out a lot of base runners.
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.
Malzone's another New York boy, born in the Bronx, 5'10", 180 pounds, now lives in Oneonta, New York.
Jensen leading off second. The stretch by Mark. The curve is high outside, ball three, three and one.
On deck is Sammy White.
The stretch by Mark. The pitch is fouled back out of play. And it's a full count on Malzone, three and two.
Tank has been the American League all-star third baseman the last three years in a row.
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.
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.
If Kubek had come up with a ball, he could have thrown Jackie out easily had Jackie decided to run out of the mound.
Now Richardson and Beres talking with Duke Moss.
With runners at first and second and no one out. Here's Sammy White enjoying his best year at the plate since he's been in the big league.
He's batting two 98s, 12 doubles, four triples, one homer and 38 runs batted in.
Sammy, a right hand batter, he's 6'395 pounds, born in Wenatchee, Washington, now lives in Sarasota, Florida.
Big right hand hitter. Here's the stretch. The pitch is inside ball one, almost hit him.
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.
Here's the stretch. Pitch is hit to right field, a base hit.
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.
Sammy White, punched that ball to right field and that's something Sammy could never do his first few years in the big league.
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.
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.
For Sammy White his 40th run batted in. For Jensen his 92nd run scored on the year.
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.
Humpty Green on deck, Jerry Casale due to be the next batter. Yankee Enfield not looking for the sacrifice. Casale's a good hitter, they might find him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A crowd kind of agreeing with Button that they thought the pitch was low.
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.
And even then it's tough. Dan Button, 5'11", 178 pounds, born in Tebraville, South Carolina.
Here's the stretch, runners lead off first and second. Ball hits deep to Centifield, way back, Mettle going back at it.
In the Centifield, bleaches for a home run for Don Button. Man, did he tag that one. Woo hoo!
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.
A three run armor for young Don Button. Puts the Red Sox in the lead now, 4-1.
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.
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.
Ball sailing into the seat.
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,
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.
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.
Boy, the way things happen, I'll tell you.
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.
So the Yankees are trailing 4-1 here in the bottom of the second inning.
And he's barely ready. His first pitch is high outside ball one.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
High, barely ready now. The pitch to Green is high ball two, two or nothing.
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.
Joe Cimilli. This is Labor Day and everybody works. There's a drive to deep right center field, way back.
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.
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.
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.
That's three in a row. Budden, Castell, and Green. The Red Sox now lead six to nothing.
And Bob Fairley has put the two men in and they both home it. Here's Gary Geiger, who fly to left field in the first inning.
The curve is over strike one call. Geiger batting 256.
Listen to the crowd buzzing. Curve is low ball one one one. Fairley ready out on the mound.
One one pitch is fouled at the plate. Plate two. One ball and two strikes.
Three pretty good shots for home runs. Budden hit his in the center field.
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.
Here's the one ball two strikes. Low curve is low. Ball two two and two.
Fairley takes a deep breath out on the mound.
Here's his two two delivery. It's up in the air to the left side. Tony Kulback the shortstop getting under it.
And make the catch for the first out of the inning.
Geiger pops to Kulback. Brings up Pete Reynolds who fly to left field in the first inning. Reynolds batting 316.
Curve is in the big ball one. On deck Gene Stevens.
Curve is low. Ball two two and nothing.
Two balls no strikes on pistol Pete Reynolds.
One out and six runs in. Pitch is hit on the ground at second base. Bobby Richardson up with it over to Howard and it's two away.
And here comes the ninth man to bat in this inning Gene Stevens. So when the first inning bounced to second base.
Stevens is batting 263.
Fairley's first pitch is way inside ball one.
On deck Jackie Jensen who started off this inning.
Fairley's next pitch curve is low ball two two and nothing.
Here's the two nothing delivery. Swing and a line drive to right field. That's in there for base hit and extra bases.
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.
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.
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.
Most homers in one inning by one club is four.
Here's the pitch to Jensen. The curve is in there strike one call. So Jackie hits one here he can tie the record.
Boston Detroit Boston and Boston Boston did a three time.
Here's a stretch by Charlie. Tied on first with a foul back strike two. Nothing into the count.
In the National League there were five home runs in one inning. The Giants and the Phillies did it.
The American League record is four.
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.
And so for the Red Sox in the bottom of the second inning they come up with six runs.
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.
Hello there everybody. First half of the third inning. The Red Sox leading six to one for New York.
Andy Carey is going to pinch it for Bob Charlie. Eli Gerber warming up the bullpen.
Jerry Cassell for the five run lead.
The Red Sox right hander all set to pinch hitter Andy Carey. The delivery swung on as a high fly ball down the left field line.
It is in there for a home run up into the screen for Andy Carey. Pinch hit homer. Just made the screen.
Andy getting his third homer ninth run batted in at sixty two.
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.
Sammy Whitehouse talking to Jerry Cassell for a moment.
All three of Andy's homers have been against Boston. Two of them up here.
Hank Bauer 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.
Button leap but couldn't get it. He had to wait for him. Bauer singles to left. And now Tony Kubeck comes up.
Hitting two ninety two he fly to left field in the first inning.
And the Red Sox bullpen gets the nod from the dugout. Mike Pornilis gets up the throw.
Cassell checks Bauer. The pitch to Kubeck swung on as a fly ball into right center.
Geiger goes over, gets under it, makes the catch. That ball is hit pretty deeply right at the edge of the bullpen.

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 Mickey Mantle.
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.
Mantle collecting his twenty seven homer and sixty nine runs batted in. And it's now six to four.
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.
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.
Here's Yogi Berra hitting two eighty four. The delivery is in there for a strike. Berra single the right center in the second inning.
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.

Here's Eric you say to the wind up then comes the pitch to Howard. Outside ball one. One ball no strikes.
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.
Howard rounds first, heads for second and goes in with a stand up double. Getting a collection of extra base hits around here today.
Hector Lopez coming up. Drew a walk in the second inning.
The Yankees have had six hits. Four of them for extra bases. Red Sox have had eight hits. Six of them for extra bases.
Lopez batting 284. Two men out. Cassell delivers inside. It nicked him. It nicked him on the arm and he's aboard.
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.
Howard on second. Lopez on first with two outs in the third inning. Three runs in. Red Sox leading 64.
Cassell ready. Pitch to Gill. Slung on in this second.
Winds blowing out today. Cassell into the set. The pitch to McDougal. Slung on. A ground ball hit out short.
Up with it as Budden flips to Pumpty Green to Fork Lopez. And the side's retired. Three runs for New York.
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.
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.
You can't go outside, won't you? Treat your thirst to Ballantine.
Eli Gerber coming in to pitch in the last of the third.
Cassell's ready. Came on in the second inning with nobody out. Hits one inning. Gave up three hits. Two of them homers.
A lot of two runs. Maws give up five hits and four runs.

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.
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.
Started against them August 15th in New York and was knocked out in the third inning.
Boston won the game 12-4.
The Tigers got six runs in the fourth inning to lead Cleveland 12-4, 10-4 innings.
Six to four Boston here in the last of the third. Here's Frank Malzone at bat. White and Button to follow. Malzone hitting 279.
The pitch in there, Frank won. Frank grounded a single to short in the second inning.
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.
Malzone holds up after the turn as Mantle field the ball, relays it back into Bobby.
Malzone opens the third with a single to center and here's Sammy White hitting 300. Having a good year, single to right in the second inning.
Gerber checks Malzone, pitch to White in there, Frank won. White has never hit 300 with the Red Sox.
Hits 282 and 281 on two occasions. Lifetime average at 261 going into the year.
So of course this is by far his best season at bat. A seasoned performer too.
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.
Gerber ready. Here's the pitch and it's in there for a strike, one and two.
One ball, two strikes. Gerber studies Yogi-san. Into the stretch, Malzone leads away from first. Here's the pitch. Sammy White swings and sends the bouncer out back to second.
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.
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.
Six four Boston third inning. Gerber delivers to Budden outside low by one.
Throw to first and White almost is caught napping.
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.
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.
Moving on to second is Sammy White. Howard throws on down to Richardson but White didn't make the turn.
Now here's Jerry Casale who's in a home run in the second inning. Batting 188.
Casale hit one a mile high as the expression goes and over the screen.
Gerber delivers inside for a ball. One ball no strikes.
The right hander ready and the pitch. High and inside two nothing. Sam White leads off second.
All the years I've been coming to Boston I did a little sightseeing this morning.
Did you too Joe? Yeah we ran over by Harvard University. I've been over there.
I do broadcast football games in Mississippi campus.
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.
No runs, one hit, no errors, one left on.
A friend of ours here, young Peter Walt, whose grandfather used to be connected to baseball with the Washington Senators as a co-owner, left the bunker hills.
So a place where Paul Revere got the signal. This is the North Church, the tower.
Samuel Adams, what do we see with Samuel Adams? A place where he was buried, that's right, and mother and father Benjamin Franklin.
Yeah, is that right?
A lot of things, boy. The Boston Commons, very, very wonderful city.
Got things that are old and things that are new, things that have been in great tradition.
By the way that reminds me, you know they've been brewing valentine since about 1839?
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.

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.
The inside is retired. No runs, one hit, no errors and one left on. Great play by gameguide. And listen to the hand.
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,
the time they've made the league record for most consecutive homers in an inning. Most total homers in an inning though is five.
The pitch swung on and missed. Strike one. Red Sox leading six to four, last of the four.
Gerber's delivery, a little bit low in the count, one and one.
Marty Keough is out on deck, going to hit for Geiger. The pitch to Green swung on. There's a fly ball in the left.
Lopez getting back and makes the catch.
Marty Keough now is coming up to hit for Geiger and most likely will replace him in center field.
I'll try to give you some word of the injury to Geiger, although he walked off the field.
Keough, a left-hand hitter.
Batting 2.41. Red Sox six, Yankees four, last of the four.
Eli Gerber, third Yankee pitcher. End of the wind up the delivery.

They retire the side. No runs, one hit, no errors. One left on. Ten to four innings to play.

and your neighborhood Atlantic dealer, the folks who keep your car on the go.
Atlantic keeps your car on the go. For business, for pleasure, in any kind of weather. Atlantic keeps your car on the go.
When you want to go places and do things, what a pleasure your driving can be.

Now the delivery. It's in there. Call strike three.
One away. Here's Yogi Barra batting 284.
Single the right center and flying to right. Six-four Red Sox, fifth inning.
Casale to the wind up. Here's the pitch. It's in there. Strike one.
The game's starting to settle down a little bit after a riotous last of the second and top of the third.
Next delivery, swung on and missed. Strike two.
Red Sox did three home runs in a row in the last of the second as he just looked in.
That's tuned in. And the Yankees got a pair in the top of the third.
Two strikes on Barra.
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.
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.
Here's the pitch, swung on and grounded foul down the first baseline.
Saturday the 19th, the Yankees and the Red Sox play.
How about around New London, Connecticut where Yogi was stationed for a while.
I bet he'd like to see a lot of you folks there that day.
A little guy who has made a lot of baseball history and one of the best-liked men in the business.
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.
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.
We'll see some folks from Trenton come to Yogi Barra today all over Jersey. Howard hits the pop-up, scored first.
White calls for it and makes the catch in fair ground.
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 Fenway Park in Boston where the Red Sox lead the Yankees 6 to 4.
And that's the final game between these two ball clubs in Boston.
We have a report on Gary Geiger who injured himself.
He suffered a slight concussion on the left side of the head and is being taken to the hospital for x-rays.
However, it's not believed the injury is serious at all. He was able to walk off the field under his own power.
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.
Jackie Jensen leads off in the last half of the fifth.
One for two, 276. The Red Sox score all six runs that they have in the second inning.
Eli Gerber to the wind up the pitch to Jackie. Low outside, ball one.
Now the pitch. It's outside, ball two.

It's first base, Jensen was slowly retreating. He's back.
Sammy Charles White, single to right and grounded to short, hitting 299.
Enjoying his best year as a hitter with the Red Sox. Always been one of the standout catchers, receivers in the league.
Hitting the ball with great regularity. The pitch fastball high, ball one.
Jensen with a good lead. And the pitch swung on. Ground ball hits the Kubek. He bobbles it.
Flips to Richardson, back to first and he still gets a double play.
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.
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.
Jerry Gassale out taking his warm-up pitches as we move now into the top of the sixth inning.
Silver Zudow moving now over to the radio side. And Silver Zudow moves into our microphone.
Well here we are back on radio as we get ready to go in the top of the sixth inning.
Hector Lopez who walked and was hit by a pitch ball takes the pitch over strike one call.
Lopez batting 284.
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.
Didn't quite get the good one on the ball.
Went away and here's Gil McJugger. Gil tripled a deep left center field and then bounced in on fourth play. Batting 237.
Jerry Gassale had a rocky second and third inning but Billy Jurgis stuck with him and now the youngster has settled down.
Hector McDougall is low ball one.
Retired the last seven Yankees in a row.
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.
They had scored one in the second inning.
Here's a one one pitch. It's low outside. Ball two two and one.
Here's a two one pitch.
Gil takes it low outside ball three three and one.
Here he's got his hands on his hips again.
Those pitches have been moaning a little bit on called strikes and balls.
Here's a pitch.
Strike two. Full count on McDougall.
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.
He had a weightless kind of got out of the sun.
He still had plenty of time to get McDougall. That's two way. Here's Bobby Richardson who lined the center and single left has stolen the base today.
Bobby batting to eighty one.
Two out nobody on Red Sox six Yankees for the pitchers lower ball one.
Wind up and the pitchers line a lot better field digging over his game. Stevens he can't get it off the wall.
He'll up with it. It's so in a second base Richardson slides and he's in there with a double.
Boy Bobby hit that ball hard today.
Line of the center line on the left and a line of the left center.
That's it. Number eight off the sale.
And for Bobby Richardson his 14th double of the year.
Eli Gerber is coming up to bat for himself and not using a pen sitter.
Gerber represents the tying run at the plate.
Andy Carey who pinch hit for Bob Charlie Homer in the third inning.
Gerber is one time at bat struck out.
It's been a second with two men out here in the top of the sixth and the Red Sox leading six to four.
That change up little screwball again.
One strike on Gerber Richardson leads off second base.
Stevens Marty Keough and Jackie Jensen in the outfield and Jensen is very shallow in right field.
Richardson really have a job scoring on a single right. Pitch is swung at him. That's that low breaking ball again.
On deck Hank Bauer.
One ball two strikes and two outs.
Here's a stretch to pitch. The ground ball hit the second base pump the green back up with a big hop.
Over to Reynolds in time for the out.
And Cattail gets out of that one for the Yankees in the top of the sixth.
No runs one hit no Red Sox errors. One man left to score at the end of five and a half innings.
The Red Sox sixth and the Yankees four.
In the sixth for the Red Sox lead. Red Sox going all their runs in the second inning routing starting to get Duke Moss.
And following up on Bob Curley. Eli Gerber has been on since then and has pitched very effectively.
The Yankees have picked up four runs but Cattail likewise seems to have settled down after a rather rough start.
Don Button leads off. He had a home run in the centerfield seat his first time up.
White Empire does drop home plate and Don Button moves into the batter's box.
And the man had it better as Eli Gerber looks in to pick up the sign from Cattail Yogi Berra.
Button heading out to twenty eight.
Wind up and the pitch.
Low and inside ball one.
Perfect day for baseball.
Perfect day for the beach too.
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.
Man what a comeback that is for Joe Gordon and his Indians who were behind twelve four at one time.
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.
Howard scooped it out for the first out and was one away as Jerry Cassell comes to the play will pause for station identification.
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.
Remember Jim Rayner and Troy Deergrunda follows the game today.
Jerry Cassell hit that tremendous home run in the second inning right on out of Fenway Park over both fences.
Then bounce the third base is batting one eighty four.
That's three homers on the year.
I can't hit a really take the ripple of the ball.
The curve is one strike pitch is a curve in the dirt ball one one one.
On deck Humpty Green.
Here's one one pitch. It's all to me and what a cut he had about one.
I'll set it off Yogi just for that one ball to strike.
He goes for broke when he swings all or nothing.
He has nine base hits on the three homers and two doubles.
One ball two strikes the count.
The wind up side on curve is right.
Try to check his swing but one around the girl to get the second strike out.
And it brings up Humpty Green who doubled and homered and then fly the left field green batting to sixty six.
I'm looking young ball player.
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.
Here's the wind up pitch is low inside ball one one one.
On deck Marty field.
Curve is a little bit high ball two.
Two one the count.
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.
You know the Indians are getting mighty close to tying a record one two three four five seven.
They have their seventh pitcher pitcher in there now Gary Bell and the record for most pitchers in a game for one club nine in the American League St. Louis against the White Sox October 2nd 1949.
The National League is a quite a few clubs all that record and the most pitchers in the game by both clubs 12 in the American League as a foul back on the screen.
The count holds a two and two Tigers have used three pitches so far that's a total of 10.
No one on Austin leading six four.
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.
The Yankees.
Milwaukee leads Pittsburgh five to one.
And they're stunning of the first game of two games there.
The other time contenders in the National League San Francisco and Los Angeles will be playing later all of San Francisco beginning underway in about 20 minutes the Dodgers play tonight.
The Red Sox are leading off as we move into the seventh inning.
Jerry Cassell doing the pitching for the Boston Red Sox.
Thanks.
31.
Take the pitch low ball one.
Four.
Sammy White 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.
Sammy White stayed with that ball.
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.
White made the catch one away.
Here's Tony Kubek.
Tony has hit the ball hard all day.
But hasn't had a base hit.
And on his last line drive to deep right center Gary Geiger made that sensational catch which put him out of the ball game.
Right after he caught it he crashed into the fence in front of the Red Sox.
Wolf Phantom was taken out of the game.
I don't know how he held on to the ball but he did.
Kubek batting 291.
The sales pitchers a curve in there strike one call.
On deck Mickey Mantle.
Next pitchers a change up a little bit high ball one one one one.
Mike Fourneelys is up again in the Red Sox bullpen.
He was up quite a bit in the early innings when Cattrall was in trouble.
There's a drive to deep right center again.
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.
On which Geiger made that sensational catch.
Which makes Geiger's catch even more sensational.
Because this one dropped in for a double hit number nine.
Tony has hit the ball hard four times and has been able to get just one base hit.
It'll bring up Mickey Mantle who was called out on strike twice and home it.
To the opposite field high up on the light tower in left field.
Mickey batting 285.
Red Sox lead six four.
Sammy White out on the mound talking with Jerry Cassell.
Every time Cassell throws that fastball the Yankee batters have been racking it up.
But when he takes something off the pitch he's been getting by.
Who first wants to know from Sammy White whether Cassell's elbow bothers him.
Bill McKinley the plate umpire is out there now talking with Cassell.
And wait a minute here comes Billy Jurgis that's all for Cassell.
He's not going any further with him.
Billy Jurgis is not taking any chances.
He went a lot further with him and a lot of managers would have gone.
Because the youngster was really in trouble in the second and third innings.
But Billy went with him long enough for him to stay in and pitch real fine ball after the third inning.
Jurgis has signals for a new pitcher from the bullpen.
Bill McKinley talking with Casey Stengel now.
Heidi Ford meanwhile takes time to run down in the Yankee bullpen just in case the Yankees might need a relieved pitcher.
From the bottom of the seventh inning the White Sox fail to score.
And now Eddie Yosa just homing in the seventh with one on.
And the Tigers go ahead 14 to 12.
Howdy Mike Best.
What a year that Yosa's having. Boy.
But right here Jerry Cassell is coming out of there.
Looks like he's been having a little arm trouble.
And Mike Fornelli.
Right handed relief out of some Havana Cubase coming on.
So Jerry Cassell has picked six in one third innings.
He's given up nine base hits.
Walked only one man, struck out three, and has allowed four runs.
Kubek down to second is Cassell's responsibility should he score.
So Jerry cannot be the losing pitcher, but he could be the winning pitcher, which would give him his first win over the Yankees.
The youngster leaves to a nice round of applause from the Red Sox and Yankee fans alike.
Fornelli's coming on.
The 5'11", 172 pounds from Havana, Cuba.
That Mickey Mantle 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.
The action in both both fans, Wiley Porter loosening up for the Yankees.
Pitch is inside.
One on one to count.
Fornelli's rubs up the ball.
Nelson Sheatham.
The pitch is over. A change up curve. Caught the outside corner one ball, two strikes.
Downman and Sheatham up in the Red Sox both fans.
Sammy White now talking with Don Budden and Mike Fornelli is out on the mound. Bill McKinley walking out to break it up.
And they break it up before McKinley gets out there.
One ball, two strikes on Mickey. One out. Kubek down at second.
Yankees trailing by two. It's 6-4 here in favor of the Red Sox and they're top of the seventh.
Here's the stretch.
The tackle ball is inside. Two and two to count.
Fornelli's into his stretch position.
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.
Of the day, Jerry Castile has struck him out twice both on third court strike.
Here's Yogi Berro who's single to fly to right and pops to second.
Yogi batting 283.
On deck Elston Howard.
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.
Third court continues to loosen up.
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.
The Red Sox sixth and the Yankees fourth.
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.
Left hand hitters batting 240.
He'll be followed by Pete Ronalds and Gene Stevens and if somebody should get on Jackie Jensen.
Mickey Mantle talking to some of the fans out the center field pleases.
As the Red Sox fans are taking their lucky seventh inning stretch.
I like her brother on the mound.
Here's a pretty good ball since he went in there.
Here's his first pitch to Keel. High curve ball one.
Verber ready again.
Pitch is high outside. Ball two, two and nothing.
Two balls, no strikes. Nobody out, nobody on. We're in the bottom of the seventh.
Two nothing pitch is high ball three, three and nothing.
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.
Indians have bounced back from that ball game to see if they can do it again. There's a strike.
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.
And then they had a whole game and Ned Garver doing the pitching for Kansas City.
There's a moment in that game for the only run. There's a strike call. Full count on Marty Keel.
Ready now for the payoff pitch. Garver winds up. Check the pitches. High ball four. He lost them.
Garver with his hands on his hips and Yogi shaking his head. They thought that pitch was in there. Another pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, Gary Locke.
That's the eighth pitcher. And the record is nine. They've tied the record for the National League.
Garver has lost most pitches in one game by one club, which is eight, but the American League is nine.
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.
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.
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.
Stevens batting two sixty-five. Billy Jurgis playing for another run.
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.
One man out here on the bottom of the seventh. Gene Stevens, the left hand hitting left fielder.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And here's Jackie Jensen who doubled, fly to center and walks. Jackie batting two seventy-six.
One away. Stevens leads off first. Here's a stretch. The pitch is high, ball one, on deck, bank, mile zone.
Quick throw to first for Stevens' back. Gene had a busted leg earlier in the year. Looks like he's recovered completely.
Another throw and Stevens has a half slide back in the first base with more of a jump.
Stretch and the pitch is on the inside corner. Strike one, one, one. Throwed a quick pitch, Jensen, that time he wasn't ready.
One-on-one and count on the Red Sox slugging right field end.
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.
And Blaylock for the Yankees. Soft toss to first, Stevens' back in plenty of time.
Quick throw that time but Stevens was just about a half a step off. And Jensen steps out of the box.
Jackie doesn't want to be quick pitched again.
Here's a stretch. Pitch is fouled back out of play.
Two and two to count on Jensen.
There we got himself a new ball. Stevens leads off first. Here's a stretch. There goes Stevens. The ball is strike three.
The throw to second is not in time. Jensen is called out on strike. But Stevens steals the base.
And with two out, here's Frank Malzone who is two for three. Single is short, single is tenor and pop is second. Malzone batting 280.
Jackie, Jensen took a fast ball right down the middle. You know, it bothers some batters when a runner is stealing.
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.
Out of score, 14 to 12. Tigers lead. Pitch is outside ball one on Malzone.
Derby checks the sign from Yogi. Stevens leading off second base. Stretch. Pitch is low. Ball two.
Derby ready now. Sidearm curve is inside. Ball three, three and nothing. On deck, Sammy White.
Malzone looks at Billy Jurgis coaching his third, hoping to get the green light and swing it out three nothing pitch.
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 Sammy White to catch it.
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.
Red Sox lead seven to four. We're in the bottom of the seventh.
Here's the stretch. Pitch is in there, strike one call.
Derby ready again. Malzone leading off first. Stevens off second. Two men are out.
Stretch. Pitch is low outside. Ball one, one, one.
Call the ball head popped out of the bullpen, picked up by one of the ground crew. Now we're ready to go.
Derby set again. The Red Sox lead seven to four in the bottom of the seventh. Two out, two on. Here's the stretch.
Down one pitch. Low curve is in the third ball two, two and one.
Here's the stretch. Pitch is a curve, low again ball three. Three and one to count. On deck is Don Budden.
Pitch is low outside. Ball four, the bases are loaded.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Means we'll have a new shortstop for the Red Sox. Eli Gerber can pitch from his windup now. Here is the windup.
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 Sammy White, the throw to the plate is not in time and Vic Wirtz clears the bases.
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 Hector Lopez's head before Mantle's relay throw.
Three runners have scored. And Vic Wirtz is coming out of the ball game after clearing the bases with that double.
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.
Mahoney who will go into play short for the Red Sox in place of Budden is out there running for Vic Wirtz.
And here is the pitcher Mike Fornelis. He swings and misses a curve. Strike one.
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.
The curve is hit on the ground and short. Two back up with it. Over to Howard in time for the hours.
As eight men go to bat that inning for the Red Sox, they come up with four runs on just two base hits.
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.
The Red Sox lead by six as we go to the top of the eighth inning.
Yankees following a day off tomorrow meet Kansas City Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. Friday and Saturday the Tigers are in.
Then a doubleheader against Cleveland on Sunday, a make up game on Monday.
And the White Sox climax the final Eastern trip of the Western Club as they're in Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th.
Here's Ellie Howard. Mike Cornelis-Pitch inside ball one.
He's over two. Cleveland batting in the bottom of the ninth.
Trailing by two runs 14 to 12. Here's the pitch.
Line drives Powell into the left field seats and the count is one ball and one strike.
Helston batting 279. Red Sox ten Yankees four.
The Tigers hit on the ground slowly to short. Mahoney up with it. I thought a first he's out just is out.
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.
The Yankees tried them out with a ground ball. Here's Hector Lopez who walks hit by a pitch ball and flies to left batting 284.
Curve is outside ball one.
Cornelis next pitch is low outside ball two two and nothing. On deck Gil McDougal.
Two nothing pitch is low outside ball three. Three and nothing to count.
Three nothing pitch is low ball four. Lopez walks. And that'll bring up Gil McDougal.
Gil tripled Boston with fourth play and hit back to the pitcher batting 237.
Bill McKinley is throwing somebody out of the game. Let's see is it Casey Stengel or who is it? Somebody is being drawn out of the game.
And look at Casey Casey is mad boy he's following McKinley all around. He wants McKinley to stop and talk with him.
Casey Stengel we haven't seen Casey do this in a long time he's out of the game. Man look at Casey go.
Boy he won't let McKinley get away. He's following him all over the park and arguing.
Boy Casey is really hot and look at McKinley. I've never seen McKinley this mad before.
Evidently Casey's been getting on McKinley all through the game.
Boy Casey really really was mad and so was McKinley. And Stengel is ejected from the ballpark.
And Stengel professor really blew his sack that time.
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.
McJugger with one away the pitch is low outside ball one one one.
One ball one strike and one out. The stretch in the pitch is low inside ball two two and one.
Red Sox 10 Yankees four we're in the top of the eighth inning.
Pitch is lying in the center field right at Marty Keele. Boy he hit that ball right on the nose.
But it's two away and here's Bobby Richardson.
The White Sox won their ball game two to one. Billy Pierce picks himself a fine seven hitter. Garva picks an eight hitter.
Baltimore shut out Washington seven to nothing. We'll give you a final run down the score at the end of this inning.
Here's Bobby Richardson who lined a center single left and double a left center. He's also stolen the base.
He takes the curve over strike one call batting two eighty one.
The stretch and the curve is low ball one one one. Two men are out.
The pitch is low. No it's not. It's strike two call. One ball two strikes.
The ball nearly sets. Ball bounced way in front of home plate blocked by Sammy White two and two to count.
The runners did not advance. The runner did not advance. Hector Lopez at first.
Two out two balls two strikes. Boston ten and the Yankees four.
One run foul outside of third.
Another White Sox won another one run ball game.
They won something like thirty two one run games this year. Boy that makes a big difference.
The pitch is swung at a missed strike three. Got him in a high inside fastball.
So the Yankees in the top of the eighth. No runs no hits no Red Sox errors and one man left.
Score at the end of seven and a half innings. Boston ten and the Yankees four.
Jim Bunning has just gone in for the Detroit Tigers in the last of the ninth so it could be that the Indians trailing by two have something going.
A ball game that's the Indians come from a twelve to four deficit to tie the score at twelve twelve and then Eddie Yost hit a two run homer to make it fourteen to twelve.
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.
Jerry Blaylock has come on the pitch for the Yankees as we go to the bottom of the eighth with Johnny Blanchard in there replacing Yogi Berra.
Incidentally when Bunning went in in the ninth inning that ties a record in the American League for most pitchers used by both clubs a total of twelve.
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.
Just barely holding on in the remains of the American Lake Panadri.
All right Billy. Austin 10 Yankees four.
Gary Blaylock 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.
Blaylock next pitch side on fastball is in their strike one curve. Boy he came in with a cross by the wicked pitch.
Wind up another fastball this one low. Ball two two and one.
Wind up and the fastball is on the inside corner count even a two and two on deck Marty Peel.
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.
Things up Marty Peel who took over for Gary Geiger 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.
He's a curve inside ball one.
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.
Here's the one one delivery curve bounces and is there right back to the screen.
Two and one.
On deck Pete Reynolds.
One pitch low curve way outside ball three three and one.
Fastball inside ball four. Peel walks for the second time.
Pete Reynolds who fly to left after second single left and sacrifice one for three for that one batting 317.
Howard starts leading 10-4 we're in the bottom of the eighth.
Howard holding first.
Fastball is over strike one one on one.
Quick throw to first. Peel back.
In the stretch.
Pitch is hit on the ground up the middle and knocked down but no chance for a play.
Kubik knocked it down.
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.
Looked like he didn't have a chance to come up with a ball.
He slapped out at the last second and tried to knock it to Richardson just couldn't do it.
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.
Fly to right and bounced a second also with still on the base batting 269.
Stevens has one RBI.
That can't hit him.
One out.
In the stretch.
Pitch is low ball one.
Curve is hit foul outside of first strike one one on one.
Jackie Jensen is on deck.
Curve is low ball two two and one.
The two one pitch on the inside corner strike two two and two.
Two balls two strikes one out two men on.
In the bottom of the eighth inning game that's almost three hours old.
Pitch is low inside at the full count three and two.
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.
Both runners go back they were going it was a bad ball and Stevens tried to duck back out of the way.
Just as thick as that. Blanchard held on to the ball both runners would have had a stolen base they had good jump.
Here they go the ball is taken low ball four.
The bases are loaded and here comes Jackie Jensen. Jensen double fly to right walks and struck out batting 276.
Here with the runnels at second and Stevens at first with just one out and Jackie Jensen the batter.
That's Terry is up in the Yankee bullpen.
Laylock will pitch from his full wind up now here's the wind up. Curve in the dirt ball one.
One nothing pitches pop foul out of play down the right field line way back in the seat.
One on one the count.
Here's the wind up pitches Einstein ball to two one.
How do you like that Cleveland scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning the winners. What a game.
15 14 all a lot of comebacks but Joe Gordon is Cleveland Indians.
How do you like that they had to win that game and they won it.
Here's the pitch is line of center field digging in metal.
He can't get it.
One run in two runs in.
Stevens is being held up a third and Jensen's in with a double as Mickey Mantle try to make a two string catch.
Couldn't quite get through the ball.
Jensen drives in two runs which gives him 100 on the year.
And the Red Sox now lead in the ball game 12 to 4.
Jensen at second. Stevens at third and here's Frank Malzone.
Malzone is two for three two singles pop to the second baseman and walk.
Jensen hit that ball a low line drive that metal try to run it under the dead run and catch off the shoe top.
Couldn't do it.
Only fast backing up by Hank Bauer kept it from being an inside the park.
Malzone is in their strike one call.
Man what a finish for the Cleveland Indians.
That will give you a complete run down of that score and all the scores right at the end of this inning.
The farm curve is high outside ball one one one only one out.
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.
You are here Sammy White who's single bounce in or fourth play hit and double play and walk.
Sammy batting to 98 they just put the ball up there.
The Indians when it's 15 or 14 16 hits for the Indians 13 hits for the Tigers and neither team made an error.
Boy that's what makes that some ball game.
They tied a major league record for the most pitches in one game.
Well but there's a wind up a pitch to white low ball one.
Wind up side on fastball is outside ball to show nothing.
Here's a two nothing pitch way outside ball three three and nothing.
This is a strike ball rolled a little bit away from Blanton.
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.
Boy what a bounce that one took he hit it right over the end of his bat.
For the Red Sox in the bottom of the eighth two runs on two hits no Yankees errors and two men left the score at the end of eighth full innings.
The Red Sox 12 and the Yankees four.
The Yankees coming up here in the top of the ninth inning they're trailing.
12 to four.
Johnny Blanchard is a first hitter. Blanchard batting left and the first pitch right in there for a called strike.
That's rich low one and one. Blanchard batting just 160 has one double one homer and two runs batted in.
12 to four and favor the Red Sox as a pitch low ball to two and one.
When he's ready his pitch is low ball three.
He's popped in the air to the right side.
Pete Runnels the first baseman is under it in fair territory and makes the grab for the first out.
Here's Hank Bauer. Hank's one for four. He's single to left in the third inning.
Also fly to left fly to center pop to the catcher batting 230.
Curve ball is outside ball one.
Next pitch inside ball two to another.
Fast ball is low ball three three nothing.
Hank Bauer and Sammy White talking about that pitch.
Three balls no strikes. Wind up the pitch is ball four outside ball four.
Bauer versus Tony Krubeck. Krubeck is one for four with a double a right center field but he hit the ball hard as other three times.
Batting 293.
The pitch and the pitch is not far out of place strike one.
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.
The game's over. From green to Mahoney back to Runnels and the ball game is over.
The Red Sox won it by a score of 12 to four.
Well before the final score the Red Sox win the final game of the season played up in Boston between these two teams. Another Red Sox for the first time since 1948 have taken a season series from the New York Yankees.
They have now won 12 of the 18 of the 19 games played between these two clubs.
For the Boston Red Sox 12 runs 14 hits no errors and seven men left. For the Yankees four runs nine hits no errors and seven men left. The winning pitch is Jerry Cassell who has now won 10 and lost eight.
It's his first win over the Yankees and has made his career even with the Yankees one and one. The loser Duke Moss who has won 12 and lost seven with the Red Sox he has now won three and lost two.
Well that wraps up another Atlantic baseball broadcast. Tune in for more baseball listening on Wednesday.
And until then this is Bob Delaney speaking for Phil Rizzuto Mel Allen and of course, Franklin Sparlin saying that's all for now from the Atlantic Refining Company and your neighborhood Atlantic dealer and P. Valentine and sons brewers of Valentine's beer and ale.
