3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Behind home played Al Barnek at first base Ed Bargo, at second base Doug Crawford, and at third base <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-harvey/>Doug Harvey</a>.

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:27,000
The next to last game of the season here in Houston between the Mets and the 1245s, and here to detail all the options for you is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a>.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Thank you very much Ralph. Little <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elio-chacon/>Elio Chacon</a> stepping in now and we're all set to get going.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Game three in this four game series winds up the road trip for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Following the game starting late tomorrow afternoon the Mets will be flying home.

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elio-chacon/>Elio Chacon</a> who has appeared in the first two games of the series but does not have an official time at bat.

9
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Elio hitting a 231.

10
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Here's the wind up and the first pitch of the night is a high fastball.

11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Dick Kirkfarrell on the mound for the Houston Colt 45s and he is one of the real flame throwers in baseball.

12
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,000
An outstanding relief runner with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-phillies/1962/overview/>Philadelphia Phillies</a> last year relief with the Dodgers.

13
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Fastball over a call strike, one ball one strike.

14
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Now the wind up and the delivery by Kirkfarrell and it gets to the outside corner for a call strike.

15
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> in the on deck circle and then Gene Woodlick.

16
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Setting up the defense for the Houston Colt 45.

17
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/norm-larker/>Norm Larker</a> flying first, Joe Amalpatano is in second.

18
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Bobby Lillip is short and Bob Aspermante is third.

19
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:59,000
The Hummer by Kirkfarrell on the outside corner and Elio is called out.

20
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:06,000
In the outfield Houston has <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-spangler/>Al Spangler</a> in left, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a> in center and a rounded right, Roman Mejia.

21
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
The third baseman number four, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a>.

22
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
That took the early lead in the afternoon game, they led 2-0.

23
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Houston came from behind tied the game, that's three games to lead in the ninth.

24
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,000
But Houston scored two the last of the men earned runs to win the game 4-3 in the last of the ninth inning.

25
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> up, Charlie 2 for the fix in the third.

26
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
A fly ball hit right down the right field line running hard as Fajillas to the line.

27
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
The catch was a fair play.

28
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Roman Mejia caught up with it and grabbed it just as he reached the line down toward the right field corner.

29
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
To ask nobody on, Gene Woodring coming up.

30
00:02:50,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Gene 0 for one has appeared twice in a series of 10-10.

31
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Dolly Amos coaching it first, Kugilavacetto coaching it third.

32
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000
A foul ball whacked high in the air and deep down the left field line this will be over in the boxes and out of play.

33
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000
After the hard rains early this morning in Houston the weather broke just in time for the afternoon game.

34
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,000
And although the humidity is extremely high these guys right now are mostly clear.

35
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
A little bit high to Gene Woodring, one ball one strike.

36
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Center and right hander, Terk Farrell on the mound for the goal 45.

37
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-smith/>Al Smith</a> working behind the play.

38
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Now the 1-1 delivery inside the highest ball two, two and one.

39
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
In the afternoon game <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-campbell/>Jim Campbell</a> was behind the plate for Houston.

40
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Late in the game he suffered an injury to the ring finger on his throwing end and he has it now in a swim.

41
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
He'll be out about two weeks or more.

42
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:07,000
The 2-1 delivery inside the highest ball three.

43
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Houston immediately petitioned league president Warren Jow for permission for a replacement for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-campbell/>Jim Campbell</a>.

44
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
And Merritt Raynew will join the team tomorrow.

45
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,000
A foul ball whacked it back in the air as it's going out of play.

46
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:31,000
All 40 of the most recent additions to the pitching staff of New York Met for in uniform for tonight's game.

47
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-foss/>Larry Foss</a>, the team from the Pittsburgh organization, he had won 10 and lost 5 this year with Asheville.

48
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Arrived in time for tonight's ball game. Larry took his family to Wichita, his hometown, then came back to join the Mets here in Houston.

49
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Fouled again by Gene Woodring out of play at three and two.

50
00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:00,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-foss/>Larry Foss</a>, Aylan Fusco and Sherman Roadblock Jones are all in uniform for tonight's game.

51
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
He's the anxious to get a look at them as soon as he can.

52
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:11,000
It has been two weeks since Fusco was used by the Red Sox for about 12 days in a slough work.

53
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Foul hits and a slow breaking pitch, three and two.

54
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Two outs, nobody on. We're just underway, top of the first, whittling the batter.

55
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Pitch by Pearl, a high lazy fly ball that showed Ryan Fields.

56
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Backing down the line goes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/norm-larker/>Norm Larker</a> and he grabs it in fair character for the third out.

57
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, none left on.

58
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,000
The score in the middle of the first, the Mets nothing and the Colts 45 skimming the bat.

59
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,000
And now time out for a moment's entertainment with a famous group of entertainers from Rangel.

60
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:06,000
The Rangel Expedition, talented players for the potato of the old Ponce.

61
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,000
In a cavern in the sand, competing for a mind, lives a mind 49, daughter Clementine.

62
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine, we were lost and gone forever, oh my darling Clementine.

63
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Weeks ago this patient miner sent his daughter out for beer.

64
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Get me Rangel, Mr. Rangel, my favorite brand new year.

65
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
In the town's name went a running, to do his daddy's work.

66
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
There are better hands than cowboys, even daddy's Rangel.

67
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Rangel's right at only six.

68
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
And draw a heart, don't you, boy.

69
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
From now on my beer is Rangel and my wife is a queen.

70
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Gotta host when they're young. Here, boy, have a glass, darling, that's cool.

71
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Oh my Rangel, Mr. Rangel, oh my Rangel.

72
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Now we move along to the last half of inning number one.

73
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,000
On the mound an act for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>, veteran right-hander <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>.

74
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Chris Cannazero working behind the plate and the leadoff hitter in the game for Houston will be the shortstop <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-lillis/>Bob Lillis</a>.

75
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Mets are set up defensively with Myra Throneberry at first.

76
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Rod Kanila second, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elio-chacon/>Elio Chacon</a> is short and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> at third.

77
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
In the outfield, Dean Woodling on left, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> playing center.

78
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Around in right field, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a>. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-lillis/>Bob Lillis</a>, right-hand batter, leading off against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>.

79
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:56,000
He hits the first pitch in the air to center field. Hickman galloping in, he's in front of it, makes the catch one down.

80
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:04,000
The skeeter situation is unusual in Houston and the timing for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> has not been the best.

81
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Last time the Mets came into Houston, the skeeters would come along, he would look at the microphone over,

82
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000
by the sixth engine he'd reach over and grab it and let it back over where it was.

83
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,000
As they left, they went down south towards the Gulf and they have been gone, but they arrived back in Houston three days ago,

84
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,000
according to the authorities on such things.

85
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Al Fangler the hitter and the pitch inside, ball one.

86
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,000
There was one that landed on Lindsey's scorecard last night that was so big it covered up one whole square it seemed.

87
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Run it down the third base line, it's going foul, no play.

88
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,000
You know, Ralph, they don't need an air-conditioned stadium down here because of the heat, they need it for those skeeters.

89
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Now that one that landed on the scorecard in Lindsey's, Lindsey marked it down as a run score.

90
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Boy, nobody on, one ball, one strike.

91
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:11,000
I'll tell you, if I see a great big one resting on your shoulder, I'll be carrying to you and not tell you about it.

92
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Joe Kresnik, our engineer, normally a radio engineer, the ballgames wear a headset, he's got a couple of swords.

93
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Now the one-one delivery, and that's over for a strike on the inside corner, one ball and two strikes.

94
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Infield and the outfield, going toward right against the speedy Al Fangler.

95
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>, the tall, slim Ryan Hander delivers a drive, hit hard down the right field line.

96
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Christopher running hard, makes the catch near the line, kill him down.

97
00:09:51,000 --> 00:10:02,000
The ball really ripped by Al Fangler, and Christopher caught up with it just before he reached the line.

98
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Very close to the temporary ballpark where the games are being played this year here in Houston,

99
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,000
the tremendous excavation for the beautiful new ballpark.

100
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Nothing more than the excavation has been done, and it is right now a real Texas-wide swimming pool.

101
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Nobody on, two men down.

102
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Craig out on the wind, that delivers, and it's a smash through the box, going up the middle for a face-off by Ramon Mejiaz, the right fielder.

103
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Mejiaz takes the turn, he's out of second to third.

104
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Down arm, Larker comes up, Larker hitting clean up.

105
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Larker hitting a 2-63 on the air.

106
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Docky left hand batter, Ryan drives, and Ryan hitters.

107
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:22,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a>, the rookie, was the first face this afternoon in the early part of the game for the Houston Gold 45.

108
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Many new faces popping up in the major leagues now that we are into September,

109
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,000
and the ball clubs want to get a look at the firemen, but enjoyed real good years in the minor leagues.

110
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Here goes the runner, which is a strike to pick by Cannazero, what a throw, but he is saved at second base.

111
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Now, Elias Cohen whirls to argue with the second base umpire, Jack Cropper.

112
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Chris Cannazero made a tremendous throw down to second, and on a close play at second base, he slides in with a stolen base.

113
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:00,000
His 11th stolen base of the year.

114
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000
So, Ramon Mejiaz has set himself up in potential scoring position with two men down.

115
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Canna strike one on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/norm-larker/>Norm Larker</a>.

116
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:22,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a>, the center fielder, is on deck, and then Bob Aspermati.

117
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Now, Roger looking in to take his side from Cannazero.

118
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Here's the pitcher on the way, inside and low, one ball, one strike.

119
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
45s right now are riding their best furtive the entire year.

120
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
They have won 10 of their last 13 ball games.

121
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:45,000
They are riding their longest winning streak of the season, a streak of five straights.

122
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,000
And right now, the Dodgers and Giants are in a flat footed tie in the national extended race.

123
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Here's the pitcher on the way, and it's spouse foul down the first baseline.

124
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:01,000
The Dodgers can either regain undisputed possession at first by a half game if they win tonight,

125
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000
and if they lose, they'll fall behind the Giants by a half game.

126
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1962/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a> are facing a comeback from behind effort, just as they did last night.

127
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Last night, they trailed St. Louis 4-1, came from behind, tied the game in the ninth,

128
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,000
fell behind in the tenth, tied the game in the tenth, and then won it in the eleventh.

129
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Reds right now, three games out of first place.

130
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
They're drilling the Cardinals 4-1 at the end of three and a half tonight.

131
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Here's the pitcher to Lager, he golfed with a ground ball off his ankle, and that one really hurt.

132
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:44,000
It knocked his legs right out from under him.

133
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Reds are three and a half back, sending the outcome of their game,

134
00:13:47,000 --> 00:14:01,000
and of course the Dodger-Pittsburgh game tonight in Los Angeles.

135
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Now we're waiting while <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/norm-larker/>Norm Larker</a> walks around trying to shake the pain out of his ankle.

136
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000
He was hit by a foul ball, and that one was really painful.

137
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000
It knocked his legs right out from under him.

138
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Got one ball and two strikes, no score, we're in the last half of the first inning.

139
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:30,000
And that's St. Louis Cincinnati game tonight, Joey J is after his 22nd victory of the year.

140
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Missed flying Lager as the bull hitter, Iliyoshi Cohn, shaded far over George Second.

141
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Rod Caneo back on the rim of the outfield grass, pitching one and two.

142
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:56,000
He's down and low, and now it's two and two on Lager.

143
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Count is even now, two and two, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a>, the center fielder, occupying the on-deck circle.

144
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Now Craig up in pitching position, pickoff play, throw to second, save, close play.

145
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:16,000
And he has had to dive back at first, and he just got back in time.

146
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000
They had the pickoff play going, and the timing was excellent.

147
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Iliyoshi Cohn darting in to take the throw from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>.

148
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,000
That's in the nice game, once again, or without the services of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/richie-ashburn/>Richie Ashburn</a>.

149
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Richie was hurt in the game yesterday, diving for a ball in foul territory just over the line.

150
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:44,000
He has a very stiff and a very sore shoulder, which is restrictive throwing, and Richie is out of action.

151
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:54,000
He is in uniform, and he was used as a defense runner in the game this afternoon.

152
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Count two and two on Norm Lager.

153
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Now Craig Reddy delivers, and the breaking ball just misses three and two.

154
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Tomorrow's game time changed from the original schedule.

155
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,000
We'll be on the air at 5.55 tomorrow evening in New York.

156
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
The last of the four game series.

157
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:27,000
The Monday night semester home, meeting the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1962/overview/>Milwaukee Braves</a> in the photograph.

158
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Now Craig is going three and two on Norm Lager.

159
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:38,000
It's a payoff pitch, ball four is outside.

160
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
That'll bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a>.

161
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Warwick hit list is nine times the size of the series.

162
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Right-hand batter hitting at 2.59 on the air.

163
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Carl came up through the Dodger organization.

164
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:59,000
They traded him on to St. Louis, and St. Louis traded him to Houston in the Bobby Shands trade early this year.

165
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000
That has been a good trade for both balls.

166
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Warwick has played well for Houston.

167
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Little Bobby Shands has had a good year for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1962/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a>.

168
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Now Craig Reddy in comes his pitch, a foul ball.

169
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:28,000
High into the air, back of the stairs, it'll be out of play.

170
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Bob Aspermati, the third baseman, is out on deck.

171
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Now Slim Lookfin takes the assign from Kenneth Arrow.

172
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

173
00:17:47,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Outside and low, one ball, one strike on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a>.

174
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Now Craig up in pitching position, delivers ground ball, hit down to third.

175
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Off of the ball, Felix Charlie kneel, and Charlie makes the fourth play at third on Ramon Mejia to retire the side.

176
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Right out on the last half of the first, no runs, one hit.

177
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
No errors, two left arms.

178
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:41,000
And now at the end of one, the score, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> nothing, and the Houston Gold 45, nothing.

179
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Now next year, you'll be seeing the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> play their home games in beautiful new surroundings at the new Flushing Meadow Stadium.

180
00:18:51,000 --> 00:19:01,000
You know, work on the new ballpark has progressed to the extent that the Mets are now accepting applications for season boxes and combination plan tickets.

181
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:11,000
The collective purchasers may send names and addresses to ticket manager <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/polo-grounds/>Polo Grounds</a> New York 39, and application blanks will be sent to them.

182
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Present subscribers need not apply if applications will be mailed to them.

183
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:30,000
First time you get the opportunity and you're out for a leisurely drive, be sure and swing by Flushing Meadows and see the tremendous progress that has been made on the beautiful new home of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>, Flushing Meadows Stadium.

184
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Field work has gone up amazingly fast.

185
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:45,000
And when it is all done, it is going to be a real thrill to watch the Mets in action in that beautiful new surrounding.

186
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:53,000
We've enjoyed tremendously broadcasting ballgames this year from the beautiful new stadium for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1962/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a> on the West Coast.

187
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,000
And when the stadium is done out in Flushing Meadows, it will be even better.

188
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Well, they are incorporating and taking advantage of many mistakes that might have been made there to make this one even better.

189
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Mark Thrunberry will be leading off as we go along to the top of the second.

190
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:21,000
First baser number two, Mark Thrunberry.

191
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Marv looking for his first base hit in the Houston 30. Marv 0 for 5 thus far. Farrell out of his line up, here's his pitch and it's fouled back into the screens, track one.

192
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Now Farrell winding, down comes the pitch and it's whacked foul again by Thrunberry back towards the cross.

193
00:20:51,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Ralph, interestingly enough, here's a fellow Farrell who has lost 18 ballgames, but I know when you hear the hitters talk, they hate to go up against him.

194
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:09,000
He has a good fastball, Bob, and of course a lot of pictures that you hit against, or tougher to hit against in their record actually indicate.

195
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Winging a miss and he's drugged him out with this lazy fastball.

196
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:30,000
One away, nobody on top of the second, now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> coming off. Jim has one hit and eight times up in this series.

197
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Well, we hope you're enjoying the broadcast of tonight's game brought to you from Houston, Texas, with the best switches of Rangold Extra Dry.

198
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:47,000
And right along with the ballgame, we hope you'll enjoy a fine, cold glass of Rangold Extra Dry, beer as beer should taste.

199
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Dry tells you why. Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> up against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/turk-farrell/>Turk Farrell</a> takes the pitch, ball one.

200
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Jim from Henning, Tennessee, a right-hand hitter batting a 2-61. Breaking ball outside and low, it's ball two, two and nothing.

201
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:36,000
45's play, Jim's up the bat straight away. He holds up, he started to go, had a notion, then thought better of it, and it's outside and low, ball three, three and nothing.

202
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:46,000
After this series, the Mets will have 17 games left. Fastball in there, a strike, three and one. 12 games at home in the follow-up rounds and five on the road.

203
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:54,000
They wind up their home season on September 23rd and play their last five of the year on the road in Milwaukee and Chicago.

204
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Pitching three and one. Ripped foul over toward the Houston dugout, goes right into the dugout, an account of three and two.

205
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:14,000
A couple of the players down toward the end of the dugout fence really had to scramble to get out of the way of that one.

206
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,000
You can see the fellows over in the dugout, the professionals who are paid to catch a baseball for a living.

207
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:27,000
When a foul ball goes in there, they get out of the way in a hurry. Line drive, hit hard, oh it's foul by about a yard, deep down the left field line.

208
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:36,000
It really rips the curve ball and hit it hard, but it went foul by a rest of the yard, deep down the left field line.

209
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:43,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/danny-murtaugh/>Danny Murtaugh</a> says the fellows who are paid to catch a ball for a living, they'll get out of the way of a hot foul ball like that.

210
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:57,000
But the fellow who comes to the ball park who is a great fan, you'll see him try to make a fair hand catch.

211
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Now the payoff pitch by Turk Ferrell is swinging, but he's struck him out.

212
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000
He is going with that hummer.

213
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Two up and two struck out by Turk Ferrell and that brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a>. Joe has two hits and six times up.

214
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:26,000
He had a ninth inning triple that led to a run that broke a 2-2 tie, but Houston picked up two in the home ninth inning and won it 4-3 this afternoon.

215
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Joe's hitting has worked up over the last three weeks.

216
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Here's the windup, down comes the pitch. Off the outside corner it's all one.

217
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Christopher won a game for the Mets on this road trip in St. Louis with a time-way two run 10th singles.

218
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Infield and the outfield straight away. Swing and a miss, one ball, one strike.

219
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Big Turk Ferrell hard throwing right hander for Brookline, Massachusetts.

220
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Now the 1-1 delivery is swinging a miss. One ball and two strikes.

221
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,000
He has really been zeroing in on his target here on the top of the second.

222
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Struck out Throneberry, struck out Hickman, counting out one and two on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a>.

223
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Now Ferrell looking into <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a>. Here's his windup, the 1-2 delivery. Off the outside corner and it's two and two.

224
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,000
In the last of the fifth inning Cincinnati picks up a single run.

225
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,000
It is now St. Louis 4 Cincinnati 3 at the end of five innings.

226
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Reds were trailing 4-1. St. Louis 3-4.

227
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,000
The 2-2 pitch, swing and a miss, he's struck him out.

228
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Ferrell strikes off the side all swinging in the second inning.

229
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:21,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, done left, done. And the score at the end of an inning and a half.

230
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:27,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> nothing and the Houston Colts 45 nothing.

231
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Well with the expansion coming to the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1962/overview/>National League</a> this season, that meant 162 ball games.

232
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,000
More baseball and an exciting set of grades for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1962/overview/>National League</a> baseball fans.

233
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,000
And of course, along the way plenty of refreshing rain goals.

234
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
You know rain goal goes good at any season.

235
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:55,000
You can enjoy it anytime because rain goal has that extra dry flavor that's brisk and bright and clean, clear through.

236
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Those two little words make the big difference in taste.

237
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Extra dry tells you why rain goal has a taste all its own.

238
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:13,000
It tells you that rain goal is brewed the long, slow, costlier way. Brewed extra dry for extra enjoyment.

239
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Why not settle back with a cool glass of rain goal extra dry and enjoy it along with the game.

240
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:41,000
You'll join millions who say, my beer is rain goal the dry beer.

241
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Well with only 12 home games remaining in New York at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/polo-grounds/>Polo Grounds</a>,

242
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:55,000
you won't want to miss the excitement of the Poston County Reds making their final advance for three games series Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.

243
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,000
14th, 15th and 16th of September.

244
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,000
You've got a hand at the Hutchins and the Reds. They seem to be hopelessly out of it and they've fought right back.

245
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Ground ball bounce right up the middle by Bob Aspermati for a face-in.

246
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:25,000
He hits the first pitch drawn by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> and leads off with 0-6.

247
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a> is coming up.

248
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Freddie Hutchinson has probably done as good a job as not a better job this year than he did last year while his team won the pennant.

249
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:42,000
Last year everyone in baseball generally agreed that he turned in an outstanding managing job.

250
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,000
But this year he's had his third baseman, Gene Freeze, out all year long.

251
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:54,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/craig-robinson/>Craig Robinson</a> got off to a slow start and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-otoole/>Jim O'Toole</a> got off to a slow start.

252
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Last year Hutch was named by his colleagues as manager of the year.

253
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Here's the pitch on the way and Smith takes outside. A throw to first by Kenna Zero. It's not in time.

254
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,000
All over in Baltimore the Angels have won a pitching duel from the Orioles 2-1.

255
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,000
The Angels were out hit 11-3 but won the game.

256
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Malinsky is the winner and Estrada the loser.

257
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Bo went out of the game in the sixth inning and was picked up and relieved by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-lee/>Don Lee</a>.

258
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Bo is in first by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> as he goes to work on Bob Aspermonte.

259
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Down comes the pitch by Craig, breaking ball over a strike on the outside corner.

260
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:49,000
You never know where you'll get a lift in this game of baseball this afternoon <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-campbell/>Jim Campbell</a> was catching for Houston.

261
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000
He suffered an injury and had to leave the game. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a> took over behind the plate.

262
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:02,000
And Lo and the old Smith came up in a hummer to tie the game.

263
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Craig checks the runner. Throw is the first base down in time.

264
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Roger has picked 13 men off this year including <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/maury-wills/>Maury Wills</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a>.

265
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Outside in low ball 2-2 and one on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a>.

266
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:27,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1962/overview/>American League</a> Funnet Race, the top three teams were all victorious in action this afternoon and tonight.

267
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,000
The Yankees beat the Red Sox 6-1 with Ford winning his 15th.

268
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Minnesota beat Detroit 9-2 past fall winning his 18th.

269
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:48,000
And the Malinsky the winner as the Angels beat the Birds 2-1 tonight.

270
00:30:48,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Throw to first once again by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> down in time.

271
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>, up in the set position checks the runner, delivers to the plate and it's over to the knees for a call strike 2-2.

272
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Anytime the leadoff runner gets on base against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>, you'll see Roger really go to work to try and pick him off.

273
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:32,000
If he's on with one away or with two down, he generally will not pay nearly as much attention to him but join in and work on the hitter very strongly.

274
00:31:32,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Now Roger up in the set position delivers 2-2. Queen and a foul ball back into the screen and the bats flew out of his hands and failed pass to Mal.

275
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Down 2-2 now to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a>. Nobody out, Aspermonte on first base.

276
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Here's the pitch on the way. Outside and low is ball three.

277
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Now let's keep an eye on Aspermonte and see if acting manager Luman Harris puts a play on.

278
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:27,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/harry-craft/>Harry Craft</a> expected to rejoin the ball club and take over the controls tomorrow afternoon.

279
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Now Craig makes the stop. Throws to first base, not in time.

280
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Another throw to first and again a little bit too late.

281
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,000
This is always a tough spot for the runner, 3-2 if the play is on for him to be running.

282
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Trying to get as much lead as possible and yet not get picked off.

283
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,000
There he goes. The pitch is a foul ball coming back to it on our broadcasting booth. No play.

284
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Hey what a catch.

285
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:17,000
When the grandstand out, we'll see you right down in front of us. Really spags that one right out of the air.

286
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Bottom half of the second, no score on the game.

287
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> ties Aspermonte. Throws to first.

288
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Save, he just got back. Craig had him leading the wrong way that time. Aspermonte is throwing and groping for the bag. Just got there on the nick of time.

289
00:33:47,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Roger had him dead to rights that time and the throw was not quite as good as it usually is.

290
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Counts full, 3-2. Now Patano, the on deck batter.

291
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:18,000
A throw to first, not in time. The crowd is starting to get on Craig a little bit now because he has thrown to first so many times.

292
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:24,000
It doesn't bother Roger at all. A throw to first, not in time.

293
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:34,000
It seems like more time than that when Craig's this tall. He's probably going to get him and he usually gets him.

294
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Now Roger in the stretch. Delivers to the plate, the runner goes and it's popped high in the air.

295
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Coming up the line, it's thrown to right near the bat. He's getting under it and Marv takes it to the off.

296
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Run away now with one on and the batter will be Joey Amal Patano, the second baseman.

297
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Little Al Jackson hurled his one hitter against Houston in New York in the first game of a double header.

298
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:13,000
It was Amal Patano who had the only hit in the ball game, a first inning single with one man down.

299
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Amal Patano hitting a 2-33. Right hand back.

300
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Craig up the stretch, delivers, fast ball a little bit low. One ball and no strikes.

301
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Now Craig up in pitching position, delivers a swing and a miss on a breaking ball. One ball, one strike.

302
00:35:45,000 --> 00:36:02,000
The game tomorrow will be on at 5.55 New York time, a single game.

303
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Next pitch by Craig, long on, foul hit. And a count 1 and 2 on Amal Patano.

304
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Dick Ferrell will be hitting next. Ferrell is one of those pitchers that doesn't hit too often, but he's strong and when he gets a hold of one he can really give it a ride.

305
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Next pitch by Craig, a grounded foul over toward the dugout of a New York mess.

306
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:45,000
He's right into the dugout and a count is one ball and two strikes.

307
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,000
In field and the outfield, straight away against Joy Amal Patano.

308
00:36:49,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Craig Reddy delivers a high fly ball into left field. Moving to his glove side goes Dean Woodling, knees under it and he puts it away for the outs.

309
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Two down now, the runner holding in first base and coming out to hit will be Dick Ferrell.

310
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:13,000
We now pause for station identification.

311
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:34,000
This is WGY connected to your New York Met station, 810 on your radio dial.

312
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Dick Ferrell batting right handed, swinging at him as it strike wide.

313
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:45,000
The Cardinals are out on the sixth inning without scoring, Red sitting now on the home six.

314
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Four to three ball game, the Cardinals in front.

315
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:59,000
A line drive, put into left field for a base hit by Ferrell. Woodling's toward the line and puts it on his side of third.

316
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,000
And fighting in space is there as Bob has for money.

317
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:10,000
He hit a hard liner, needle left to ground, feet forward, goes just beyond the reach of Ferrell.

318
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:28,000
Put him on the left field for a clean base hit.

319
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,000
The Cardinals 45 have runners on first and third, they're all two men away.

320
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,000
No score last half of the second and the hitter is Bob Lillip.

321
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Lillip's a shortstop and leadoff hitter batting a 241.

322
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:58,000
By Greg a fly ball, this is right field Christopher coming hard toward the line and at the last corner, the last.

323
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:04,000
The last Camille at the line is full speed into the outfield and has the ball in his glove.

324
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:12,000
But collided with Bill Christopher who was going in at full speed and they hit so hard that the ball spun free and went across the line.

325
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
It'll be sore to face him.

326
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:22,000
After money comes in to score, Ferrell winds up on third and Lillip's on second with a double.

327
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,000
They hit pretty hard, they were both running at full speed.

328
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:42,000
When Christopher was coming in, Camille was going out.

329
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Now the batter is Al Stangler, full 45 takes the lead one to nothing.

330
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Stangler lined the ball to right field his first time up.

331
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,000
He hit the ball hard but Christopher caught it running to the line.

332
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Stangler's ball wind up, here's his pitch.

333
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Inside and low, it's ball one.

334
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Rod Canil took a pretty tough jolt out there in the outfield.

335
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,000
He was going as fast as he could.

336
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Reaching out, he had the ball in his glove and just as the ball hit in his glove, he was hit hard by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a>.

337
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:24,000
He either saw the other and the ball squirted over toward the right field line.

338
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Now two in scoring position, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> takes his stand from Chris Canil Ferrell.

339
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Roger out of his land, up down comes his pitch.

340
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Ball one, one ball, one strike.

341
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Stangler hitting 283, four home runs and 27 runs batted in.

342
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,000
He has exceptional speed.

343
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Let's play him around to right of the infield.

344
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Stangler left hand hitter, feet wide apart.

345
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Kirk Ferrell leads down the line from third and the pitch on the way is inside and low, it's ball two, two and one.

346
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:33,000
And adding Yusin, the humidity higher than the temperature, the temperature 81 and the humidity 88.

347
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Now Craig with a two and one count on Al Stangler.

348
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Lillis on second, Kirk Ferrell on third, two men down.

349
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Next pitch by Craig, breaking ball in the dirt, it's three and one on Al Stangler.

350
00:41:48,000 --> 00:42:09,000
Amon Mejias, the right fielder, is the on deck hitter.

351
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Down three and one.

352
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,000
And down is the pitch.

353
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Last foul on the ground, coming right straight back, three and two.

354
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Labor Day, the Phillies were here in Houston, they had beaten the Houston Colts 45 15 in a row.

355
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:35,000
So as a gag, the Houston Colts 45 hired a professional whammy man, so he called himself by the name of Kit Dugan,

356
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:40,000
he brought him in and he was supposed to put the whammy on the Phillies, give him the old evil eye.

357
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Didn't work, the Phillies won both games with a double hitter, but the next day he claims it worked

358
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:53,000
and the Colts 45 won their only game of the year from the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-phillies/1962/overview/>Philadelphia Phillies</a>.

359
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Now the three two pitch, swing and a miss, he's struck him out.

360
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Al Stangler struck out on a breaking ball by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>.

361
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Roger notching his first strikeout.

362
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,000
In the second inning, one run, three hits, no errors, and two were left on.

363
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Now at the end of two innings, the score, Houston one and New York nothing.

364
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Well fast tickets are now on sale for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-jets/1962/overview/>New York Titans</a>, American Football League home opener with the Denver Bears on September 30th.

369
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:54,000
In other games, the Phillies beat Milwaukee 6-4 this afternoon, McLeish winning his tenth in relief,

370
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Henley was the loser, Seaver City's 20th homer came with two on and Torrey connected.

371
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:04,000

It'll be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-mcbean/>Al McBean</a> against South Falls Pete Rickards from Floral Park, New York.

376
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,000
In the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1962/overview/>American League</a>, all of the contenders won their game.

377
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,000
The Yankees beat the Red Sox 6-1.

378
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/whitey-ford/>Whitey Ford</a> winning his 15th.

379
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,000
Whitey had to leave the game when his leg tightened up and Jim Coats came on to finish up.

380
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Don Swal that was the loser.

381
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
The White Sox beat Washington 6-3.

382
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
An early win went all the way.

383
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:51,000
For early, his seventh win of the year, he now needs one more for that coveted 300 mark.

384
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-rudolph/>Don Rudolph</a> the loser.

385
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:58,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/minnesota-twins/1962/overview/>Minnesota Twins</a> beat Detroit 9-2 fastball when his 18th, Masi losing.

386
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Allison had two home runs, he now has 25.

387
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Cleveland beat Kansas City 3-2, Latman busting Dan Fister.

388
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,000
And the Angels beat the Orioles 2-1, Bonovsky over Ostrada.

389
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:15,000
That's the rundown on Storrs, and for the rundown on action, Ralph Keiner.

390
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:21,000
Okay Bob, it's Rod Kanil, right-hand batting second baseman, and his first pitch is a fastball.

391
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Outside for ball one, Kanil scoring around his own, a push-about off toward second base.

392
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,000
One ball and little strike.

393
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Now Craig with a 2-1 count on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-spangler/>Al Spangler</a>.

394
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,000
Bob Lillip on second, Kirk Farrell on third, two men down.

00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Next pitch by Craig, breaking ball in the dirt.

396
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,000
It's 3-1 on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-spangler/>Al Spangler</a>.

397
00:45:50,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Amon Mejia, the right fielder, is the on-deck hitter.

398
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Count 3-1.

399
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:22,000
In comes the pitch. Fast foul on the ground, coming right straight back, 3-2.

400
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Labor Day, the Phillies were here in Houston, they had beaten the Houston Colts 45, 15 in a row.

401
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:37,000
So as a gag, the Houston Colts 45 hired a professional whammy man, so he called himself for the name of Kit Dugan, a droney man,

402
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,000
and he was supposed to put the whammy on the Phillies, given the old evil eye.

403
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:46,000
It didn't work, the Phillies won both games with a double header, but the next day he claims it worked,

404
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:54,000
and the Colts 45 won their only game of the year from the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-phillies/1962/overview/>Philadelphia Phillies</a>.

405
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Now the 3-2 pitch. Boing, and a miss, he struck him out.

406
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-spangler/>Al Spangler</a> struck out on a breaking ball by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>.

407
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Roger knocking his first strike out.

408
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:12,000
In the second inning, one run, three hits, no errors, and two were left on.

409
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Now at the end of two innings, the score, Houston 1 and New York nothing.

In the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1962/overview/>American League</a>, all of the contenders won their games. The Yankees beat the Red Sox 6-1.

421
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:40,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/whitey-ford/>Whitey Ford</a> winning his 15th. Whitey had to leave the game when his leg tightened up, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-coates/>Jim Coates</a> came on to finish up.

422
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Don Swalwell was the loser. The White Sox beat Washington 6-3. An early win went all the way.

423
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:52,000
For early seventh win of the year, he now needs one more for that coveted 300 mark.

424
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:59,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-rudolph/>Don Rudolph</a> the loser. The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/minnesota-twins/1962/overview/>Minnesota Twins</a> beat Detroit 9-2 past ball when he's 18th, Mosse losing.

425
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Allison had two home runs. He now has 25. Cleveland beat Kansas City 3-2, Latman vesting Dan Pistor.

426
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,000
And the Angels beat the Orioles 2-1, Bonimpsky over Ostrada.

427
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:15,000
That's the rundown on scores, and for the rundown on action, Ralph Keiner.

428
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:22,000
Okay, Bob, it's Rod Keiner, right-hand batting second baseman, and his first pitch is a fastball.

429
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Outside for ball one, Keiner's throwing around his own, a push about out towards second base.

430
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:37,000
One ball, no strike. On the mound for the Colt 45, Kirk Farrell, big strong right-hander with a record of 9 wins and 18 losses.

431
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:45,000
Farrell has a record this year against the Mets of one win and two losses. All of his games have been well-pitched games.

432
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Two-all pitch high for ball three. For now, the count's 3-0 as Canelo leads off.

433
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:58,000
The on-deck batter is Chris Canazaro. He'll be followed by the pitcher, Roger Gray.

434
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Now Farrell into the lineup and delivers, and it's a fastball through for strike one.

435
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Farrell beat the Mets on May 22nd, 3-2. He lost to them on June 11th, 3-1, and also lost to them on June 22nd, 2-0.

436
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:25,000
There's a fastball for strikes here. So far, now picking the count up. It's three balls and two strikes on Rod Cadil.

437
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:30,000
One-nothing game, favor to the Houston Colt 45.

438
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:39,000
He's going to wind up in the 3-2 finish. A fastball popped up in the air at the second baseman waiting, Joe Maralpatano, and he puts it away for out number one.

439
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:52,000
And that will bring up Chris Canazaro. The kneel before the out, batting 2-56. Canazaro coming on, batting 2-14.

440
00:50:52,000 --> 00:51:01,000
That's right-hand batting catcher for the Mets. Now in the batter's box. To take up with his first encounter with for eight, Chris Farrell.

441
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:09,000
And a zero.

442
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Now Farrell into the windup, and the first pitch. Fastball outside, ball one. Farrell has struck out four batters so far in the game in two and one-third innings.

443
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:26,000
He has a total of 178 strikeouts on the year. There's a line drive to right center field coming on.

444
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:33,000
He can't get to it. It dropped in for a base hit. And that is the first hit of the game off Turd Farrell.

445
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,000
It will bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>.

446
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Colt 45s have one run on four hits. The Mets have one hit now. And they have their first baserunner.

447
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:57,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> right hand batting pitcher coming out of the dugout. He's hitting 0-44. No home runs and two runs batted in.

448
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Farrell has struck out 178 batters in two hundred and three innings so far this year.

449
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:16,000
The strikeout leader in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1962/overview/>National League</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sandy-koufax/>Sandy Koufax</a>, who has been out of action for quite some time, he meets the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1962/overview/>National League</a> with 209 strikeouts.

450
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Here's the first pitch to Craig. It's bunned out towards the right side and going foul. Strike one counter, Roger.

451
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:33,000
One man out, the on deck batter, Elias Chacon.

452
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Incidentally, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sandy-koufax/>Sandy Koufax</a> has been throwing batting practice for the Dodgers.

453
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,000
And they are looking forward to his reappearance in the lineup.

454
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:48,000
One strike fits to Craig outside. One ball, one strike.

455
00:52:48,000 --> 00:53:01,000
Both Norm Rocker and the third baseman, Bob Edfermonte, looking for the bun against Craig, charging very strongly.

456
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:13,000
One ball, one strike. And now Farrell back to work. And the next pitch is bunned foul again, so it's strike two.

457
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:18,000
A very well pitcher like Tirk Farrell, very tough to punt.

458
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,000
And especially he punts the ball off all in the ground.

459
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:25,000
And here in the cold stadium, the lights are not the best.

460
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:35,000
As this is a temporary set up.

461
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:43,000
One ball, two strikes. And the pitch back is lined right by Rocker down the right field line. A base hit coming over Mahias.

462
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:49,000
He's up with the ball. He throws on in the second base, but going over to third. On the base hit, Chris Cannizzero.

463
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Throw large to Craig after failing to punt.

464
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Moves Cannizzero all the way to third base. And with one out, runners are at first and third and Elias Chacon comes up.

465
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Elio was caught looking in the first inning. One of the four strikeout victims by Tirk Farrell.

466
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:21,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elio-chacon/>Elio Chacon</a>. Chacon right hand batting shortstop, hitting 231.

467
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:29,000
And now Farrell back on top and the first pitch is a fastball high, ball one.

468
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:37,000
Bob Aspermati at third base, even with the bag, looking for a play at either home or second base.

469
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:43,000
The rest of the infield set up for the double play with one man out. One nothing game, Nicole Cleaves.

470
00:54:43,000 --> 00:55:03,000
There's a fastball back to Chacon, again high. Two balls and no strike.

471
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Doing all this Farrell takes too long in the mound as Chacon steps out of the batter's box. Now Chacon calling Kipy Lavageto up to have a talk.

472
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:18,000
Kipy the third base coach, Salahimas back in the line for the Mets at first base.

473
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:27,000
He's been out on a scouting tour and he joined the Mets here. As <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> put it, the Mets join him here at Houston.

474
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Salahimas makes his home in this Texas city.

475
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Now down in as Chacon comes back to the batter's box.

476
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:48,000
And Farrell goes back to work. And the next pitch is high inside. It moves Chacon away from the plate.

477
00:55:48,000 --> 00:56:04,000
Farrell three. Coach Dirk Farrell who has yet to walk him in now pitch away from loading up the bases. Three balls and no strikes.

478
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:17,000
Farrell into the stretch position. Hand back to Chacon. A fastball that's inside for ball four. That loads him up and brings up Jardy Neal.

479
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Jardy flat out to right field his first time up. Right hand batting third baseman. On a third base <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chris-cannizzaro/>Chris Cannizzaro</a>.

480
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:38,000
At second base <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>. Moved down there after the walk as he called.

481
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:55,000
That was one up and that's a rally going. One nothing game in favor of the Houston Colts 45. Top of the third inning.

482
00:56:55,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Farrell with his sign now into the line up and delivers. Fastball high for ball one. Just above the letter.

483
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:17,000
Now action in the bullpen for the Colts 45. They don't waste any time down here. They have them up and going early.

484
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:27,000
The relief staff has done an excellent job this year. Here's the one-all pitch to Neal. Fastball inside again and high. Two balls and no strikes.

485
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:49,000
Farrell now falling behind Neal after walking Chacon and Howe Smith walking the ball back to the pitchers now. Smith docking to Farrell on the mound.

486
00:57:49,000 --> 00:58:04,000
The relief staff, Chacon and Howe, warms up in the bullpen for the Colts 45. Chacon and Howe are knuckleball specialist.

487
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:10,000
Houston one run on four hits. The Mets have no runs in two hits. And the Mets with the bases loaded.

488
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Here's Neal lying right through the middle in the center field of bases. Going from third base, Canada now coming around from second base <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>.

489
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:26,000
The throw coming in is cut off but too late. Going on down to second base after the single on the throw in is Jody Neal.

490
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Chacon moves over to third base and the Mets now have taken the lead by a score of two to one here in the top of the third.

491
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Still only one man out. On to the second and third and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gene-woodling/>Gene Woodling</a> comes up.

492
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:51,000
Gene bops up to the first base but now the sign goes out to give him an intentional pass.

493
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:56,000
And Farrell in the stretch position throws ball one.

494
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:10,000
The two RBI's for Jody Neal is 54th and 55th of the year. There's ball two, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gene-woodling/>Gene Woodling</a>. The on deck batter is Marth Dromberry.

495
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:20,000
Farrell again back outside for ball three. Three and all.

496
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:28,000
And now ball four that loads him up once again. And coming up Marth Dromberry. Marth struck out swinging his first time.

497
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:36,000
He's batting to 49. 14 home runs and 40 runs better than him.

498
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:46,000
First base number two Marth Dromberry.

499
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Two to one in favor of the Mets. Top of the third inning.

500
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,000
And the infield back for the double play where the base is loaded and only one man out.

501
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:07,000
And here's the first pitch tomorrow. A fast ball that's inside ball one.

502
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Farrell retires the Mets one, two, three in the first and second innings.

503
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:25,000
But the Mets after Keneal had gone out. Coming up with four consecutive men on base.

504
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Now Farrell taking plenty of time as the sign. Back to Dromberry with a fast ball that's hit out the left field.

505
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,000
It could drop in coming down the left fielder's fangler. He can't get to it.

506
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:41,000
Torrey from third base. Elias Chacon and following him around is Jolly Neal.

507
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,000
And the Mets are now lead by a score of four to one.

508
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:48,000
Moving on down to second base on the base hit Gene Woodley.

509
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:53,000
And now the Mets with runners at first and second base and the batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a>.

510
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:59,000
That ball was grouped out the left field. The left fielder Al Fanger playing a very deep left field.

511
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Could not get to it. It dropped in front of him. And two men scored.

512
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:10,000
The two men is now four to one as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a>, right hand batting center fielder, steps up.

513
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:18,000
It's all even now at four feet.

514
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:37,000
Jim struck out swinging his first time. He looks at the curve for strike one.

515
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,000
Now Farrell back in the stretch position and back to the plate with the curve ball.

516
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:44,000
Hit down to third base. The third base from Nassar Monte comes up with the ball.

517
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:48,000
The ball is over steps on third. Goes to first base in time for the double play.

518
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:54,000
And that retires the side.

519
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:01,000
In the inning for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> it's now four runs on four hits.

520
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:07,000
And they leave one man on and a score at the end of two and one half feet to play.

521
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:12,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> four, the history is known, 45-1.

522
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Now here's one of your favorite vocalists with a bright new tune about New York's favorite beer.

523
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,000
Ask me, Vic DeMoe, what beer to buy.

524
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,000
I'll tell you.

525
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:27,000
That Reingold extra dry, now that's the beer to buy.

526
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:32,000
It's flavored crisp and ripe and clearly extra dry.

527
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,000
It's New York's favorite brew, the only one for you.

528
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:42,000
Because it's dry and true, that Reingold extra dry.

529
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:47,000
The taste of Reingold's right because it's brewed just right.

530
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:51,000
Brewed long and slow for flavor, lean and extra dry.

531
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,000
That Reingold extra dry, now that's the beer to buy.

532
01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:08,000
It's extra dry, that's why. Have some Reingold beer tonight.

533
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:12,000
It's New York's favorite brew, the only one for you.

534
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:25,000
Because it's dry and true, have a Reingold beer tonight.

535
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Moving now to the bottom half of the third inning with the Mets leading 4-1,

536
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,000
and we'll take this opportunity to pause for station identification.

537
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:37,000
This is WGY Schenectady where you can hear all the games of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>

538
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:42,000
for baseball for the best in music for comprehensive, reliable news reporting.

539
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Stay tuned to WGY.

540
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Ralph Garner along with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> and Lindsay Nelson from Colts Stadium in Houston, Texas.

541
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> now getting ready to start the bottom half of the third inning.

542
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,000
The first man up for the Colts will be Roman Mahias,

543
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,000
batting in the third position in the batting order.

544
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,000
Right hand batting right fielder.

545
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:09,000
And the first pitch by Craig is hit down towards the shortstop side,

546
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:13,000
going up with the ball over to first base in time for out number one.

547
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Roman Mahias, who's single his first time up, is out for the second time.

548
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:27,000
Should say for the first time and with one out, Norm Locker comes up.

549
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:31,000
Norm walked his first time up.

550
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:43,000
Still in the dugout and it looks as though they're going to send up a pinch hitter.

551
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:47,000
Locker being called back.

552
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:52,000
And it's a pinch hitter for Norm Locker.

553
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:57,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> who played in the first game at first base and right field.

554
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:12,000
He's batting infielder, outfielder and he'll probably stay in the game at first base.

555
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,000
Roberts batting 125.

556
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,000
No home runs and two runs batted in.

557
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:22,000
Two RBI's scoring the tying and winning runs against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1962/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a>

558
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:27,000
in a 4-3 win for the Colts 45 the other night.

559
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:35,000
That was his first Major League Base hit.

560
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,000
4-1 in favor of the Mets.

561
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:42,000
Bottom half of the third.

562
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> now back to work.

563
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,000
It's a slow curve ball over for strike one.

564
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:51,000
Norm Locker taken out of the game because of a swollen left foot

565
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,000
and a foul tip in his previous time up.

566
01:05:54,000 --> 01:06:06,000
One strike down on the left hand batter.

567
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,000
And now Craig taking too much time so Roberts steps out of the batter's box.

568
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,000
Craig reading the signs from Chris Camazero.

569
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:16,000
And it's one strike pitch.

570
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:35,000
It's a fast ball that's high inside.

571
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,000
One and one as Craig comes back to the plate with a pitch that sets it down to first base.

572
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Homebury takes it on the bounce, moves over to first base and makes the play on the set for out number two.

573
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:55,000
And with two out the batter will be Carl Wolrick the center fielder.

574
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:59,000
Wolrick did into a fourth play his first time up batting 259.

575
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:08,000
They bat him from the right hand side.

576
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,000
And the first pitch is ball one.

577
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:21,000
One ball, no strike.

578
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Now Roger into the lineup and delivers back again.

579
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,000
It's a curve ball over for strike one.

580
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,000
One ball, one strike with two men out.

581
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:39,000
That's four runs on four hits. The Coke 45's one run on four hits.

582
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,000
And now Craig misses again for ball two.

583
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:55,000
Two balls and one strike.

584
01:07:55,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Roger into the windup and delivers low outside for ball three.

585
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:05,000
Metz scored four runs in the top of the third inning to take over the lead four to one.

586
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:12,000
They lost the first game by a score of four to three.

587
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,000
There's a swing and a foul ball on the three one fits.

588
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:30,000
So Roger now has picked a count up to three balls and two strikes.

589
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,000
Three and two with Bob Asperlani on deck.

590
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,000
And here's the windup and the delivery.

591
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,000
A curve ball lined to left field, a base hit.

592
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,000
One over by the corner is Steve Rutten.

593
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:47,000
Windup with the ball and going to second base for the stand up double is Carl Wally.

594
01:08:47,000 --> 01:09:05,000
On the golf now, Leonard's second base with two out of Bob Asperlani to bat it.

595
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:14,000
Asperlani single to center field and shut off a rally for the Coke 45's which saw them score one run in the second inning.

596
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:19,000
They sent six men to the plate in that inning against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>.

597
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Asperlani batting 262, right hand batting third baseman.

598
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:33,000
And now the first pitch is a curve ball over for strike one.

599
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:46,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>, 31 years of age and an honor for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

600
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,000
This is Roger's first appearance against the Cokes this year.

601
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:53,000
His 38th game of the season and his 30th start.

602
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,000
A one strike pitch, a curve that's inside and high.

603
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,000
One ball, one strike.

604
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:02,000
Roger's won seven games and lost 22 this year.

605
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:12,000
And here's a lifetime record of 56 wins and 60 losses.

606
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,000
On to second base, Carl Wally with a short lead.

607
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:20,000
And Craig now back to Asperlani and the finish is in the backfield.

608
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:33,000
Coming around to second base and scoring with run number two for the Coke 45, Carl Wally and holding at third base an RBI by Asperlani.

609
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:50,000
That's a 4-2 game now, the Mets leading and the batter coming up with two men out of fouls, Mets.

610
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:57,000
The catcher number eight now wins.

611
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,000
Mets popped up to first base his first time up.

612
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,000
He had a home run in the first game.

613
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:11,000
Cut into the game when the starting catcher, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-campbell/>Jim Campbell</a>, was injured by a foul set.

614
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:16,000
First game won by the Cokes 45s when they scored two runs in the bottom half of the ninth.

615
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,000
They win it 4-3.

616
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,000
There's the first pitch by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a>.

617
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:39,000
The curveball in the dirt dug out by Cannon's Arrow, ball one.

618
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:43,000
Now Craig back to work and he comes back inside high, ball two.

619
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Smith going down to the dirt, two balls and no strikes.

620
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:54,000
On at first base, Bob Asperlani, the RBI in this inning for Asperlani is 55th of the year.

621
01:11:54,000 --> 01:12:00,000
He drove in the time run in the ninth inning of the first game.

622
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:05,000
20 runs scored as an arrow was made on the base hit by Bob.

623
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,000
There's a curve that is low outside.

624
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,000
So they got now three balls and no strikes.

625
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Roger picked up the first two men and gave up a double to Warwick, a single to Asperlani.

626
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:25,000
And now he is behind 3-0 on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a>.

627
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:29,000
There's a 3-0 pitch, a fastball low for 4-4.

628
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,000
Got a move, Asperlani, 90 feet down to second base.

629
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:37,000
And now the 12-45s have runners at first and second base.

630
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:46,000
On the second walk issued by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> and the batter now will be Joe Amalfadano.

631
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Second base with number 11, Joey Amalfadano.

632
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:02,000
Joe batting from the right-hand side, brought out to left field his first time up.

633
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:06,000
And his first pitch, a curve that is just outside, a little bit low, ball one.

634
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,000
One ball and no strikes.

635
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:17,000
Amalfadano batting 233.

636
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,000
That's lead at 4-2.

637
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:26,000
Bottom half of the third inning.

638
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,000
Now Craig back on top and this curve ball is over.

639
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:35,000
Strike one.

640
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,000
One ball, one strike.

641
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:45,000
With two men out.

642
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:56,000
Craig now shaking off the first time given by Canazaro, taking a long look as Canazaro goes through the signals.

643
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Now takes one and gets set in the mat.

644
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,000
And comes back with a fastball.

645
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:07,000
Down in the dirt for strike two.

646
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:11,000
Now Bollick home plate on fire, takes a look at the ball and throws it out of play.

647
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:20,000
One ball, two strikes.

648
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:29,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> not liking the ball that was put in play by Bollick, asking for another and getting it.

649
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:33,000
Also one six of the seven games played here in Colts Stadium.

650
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:40,000
At the Polar Grounds they stand all even at two wins and two losses with five games to play.

651
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:45,000
The Mets will be playing the Colts on the 18th, 19th and 20th.

652
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:48,000
Play night double headers on the 18th and 19th.

653
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,000
There's a curve that is inside for ball two.

654
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:55,000
Two balls and two strikes.

655
01:14:55,000 --> 01:15:04,000
The Mets return home to open up a 12-game home stand, the final one of the year on Monday against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1962/overview/>Milwaukee Braves</a>.

656
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:08,000
That'll be a night game.

657
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:12,000
And let us remind you once more, Cincinnati will be in over the weekend.

658
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:18,000
Two two-pitch foul away and they can't hold the two balls and two strikes.

659
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:23,000
Cincinnati currently three and one-half games out of first place.

660
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:30,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1962/overview/>National League</a> Raids that right now have the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1962/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a> and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1962/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a> all tied up with an identical record.

661
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Ninety-one wins and 51 losses.

662
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:40,000
And they will play a night game on Friday night, a day game on Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.

663
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:45,000
With the Mets to close out their season series.

664
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,000
Two balls and two strikes, two men out.

665
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:55,000
They're back with a curve, it's hit down towards third base, but it's those fouls moving over to make the play.

666
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:00,000
Shot and knee on the ball goes off his glove, it falls over towards the top seed area.

667
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:15,000
So once again, Amal Pedano stays alive at two balls and two strikes.

668
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:28,000
And Ryan Goldbeer, happy to be sending this one your way from Houston, Texas.

669
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Now Craig with the sign and back in the stretch position.

670
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:36,000
And the two-two pitch, one on a miss for strike three to retire the side.

671
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,000
Strikeout by Roger is second.

672
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:44,000
And in the end he's equal 45 to pick up one run on two hits.

673
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:49,000
No errors, two men left on and the score at the end of three innings of play.

674
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:56,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> 4, the home 45, 2.

675
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:02,000
Here's another special event that will take place at the foreground during the Mets' last home stand.

676
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:07,000
On Wednesday, September 19, between games of a play-night doubleheader against Houston,

677
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:12,000
two Owens-Cabin cruisers will be awarded to Mets players by Howard Groves.

678
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:20,000
One cruiser worth $7,000 will be given to the Mets with the highest score for hitting the Howard signs at the foreground.

679
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:24,000
The winner will not be determined until the conclusion of the first game that night.

680
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:31,000
A second cabin cruiser worth $5,000 will be given to the most valuable Mets player as voted by the fans.

681
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Voting for this award closes at all Howard stores on Saturday, September 15.

682
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:47,000
In addition, Kathy Kirsch as Ryan Gold 1962 and Eileen Rogers, beautiful star of the musical Anything Goes, will offer the presentation.

683
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:54,000
Howard Groves will also present five complete wardrobes and five suits of clothes to fans who participate in the voting.

684
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:57,000
So remember Howard Groves' night Wednesday, September 19.

685
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:00,000
A real piglin to keep in mind.

686
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:05,000
And you know this is the time of year when a frosty glass of beer seems to taste best.

687
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:11,000
And when that glass holds cold refreshing Ryan Gold extra dry, it tastes even better.

688
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,000
That's because Ryan Gold is beer as beerers should taste.

689
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,000
And dry tells you why.

690
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,000
Enjoy it. Right along with the game as we move to the top of the fourth inning.

691
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:26,000
Mets lead it 4-2 and the first man up for New York will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a>.

692
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:35,000
And the first pitch to the right hand batting right fielder is a strike call that Kirk Farrell starts off here in the fourth.

693
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:38,000
Through three innings he has given up four runs, allows four hits.

694
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:42,000
Strikeout, four and walk two.

695
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,000
Joe, one of the strikeouts, becomes his first time up.

696
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:57,000
But he looks at the curve, it's low. One ball, one strike.

697
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:03,000
Farrell, 28 years of age, big strong throwing right hand there on the mound reading the signs from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-smith/>Al Smith</a>.

698
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,000
And now back to work, the 1-1 pitch has hit the center field.

699
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,000
High in the air moving over is Carl Walby.

700
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,000
Now waiting and he puts it away.

701
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:17,000
Out number one here in the top of the fourth inning.

702
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:23,000
And now Rod Canilo comes in. Rod pops his second base his first time up, 0-1.

703
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:32,000
Batting to 256.

704
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,000
That's where the two run lead, they lead 4-2.

705
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:42,000
Picking up four runs in the third inning to take the lead away from the cold 45s who had leaded at that time one nothing.

706
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:47,000
And the first pitch to the right hand batter is punted down towards the first base side.

707
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:52,000
Farrell often picking up the ball, throws the first base in time for out number two.

708
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:57,000
Making the play at first base <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> who went in as a pitch hitter for Norm Larkin.

709
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:00,000
So if it's too hot the batter will be Chris Cannazero.

710
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:06,000
Chris started off the rally in the third inning which saw the Mets score four by singling to right field.

711
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:11,000
Roger Gray came up and shingled behind him to move him over to third base.

712
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,000
And then Edie Chacon walked him on him up.

713
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,000
Jody Neal drove in two with a base hit.

714
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:19,000
And Mara Thromberg came up and drove in two more with a base hit.

715
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:32,000
4-2, two men out and Chris Cannazero right hand batter in.

716
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:43,000
There's a first pitch, it's low outside for ball one.

717
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:47,000
One ball low strike, two men out.

718
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:54,000
As Farrell goes back to work and comes in with a fastball that is swung on for strike one.

719
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,000
Farrell struck out the side in the second inning,

720
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:11,000
picked up one strike out as he got Edie Chacon at the start of the game for his fourth strike out.

721
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:16,000
And now the one-one pitch, a fastball, another swing and a miss for strike two.

722
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:31,000
One ball, two strikes.

723
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:42,000
Chris Cannazero out of the batter's box now in, standing deep in the box against the right-hander.

724
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:48,000
Here's the one-two pitch, a fastball low outside, two balls and two strikes.

725
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:51,000
Farrell worrying number 43, prefers to worry number 13.

726
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:54,000
He would like to do it right here.

727
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:59,000
But due to the scorecard problem, he had to use his own number, 43.

728
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:05,000
On the road he worries 13, and next year he'll have that number for both the home and road game.

729
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:13,000
The two-two pitch, point on a miss, he retires the side, a fifth strike out for a third throw as he turns the miss away, one-two-three.

730
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:20,000
In the end he, no runs, no hits, no errors, and the score at the end, a three and one-half inning to play.

731
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> four, play in goal 45-2.

732
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:30,000
Now a popular question put to music by none other than Kyle Lopardo.

733
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:37,000
Who is the girl who will be the girl Miss Ryan goes six-three?

734
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:45,000
She, be a beauty, she, be really cute, the only girl for me.

735
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Carol the red, a highly-bevered, is through.

736
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:59,000
Oh, Chris the one girl who will be that famous girl, that charming girl Miss Ryan goes six-three.

737
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:05,000
This is Kyle Lopardo. Who will be this Ryan Gold 1963?

738
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:13,000
Your vote may decide. Who will have the fame and fortune of representing Ryan Gold Extra Dry, the beer that gets both New Yorkers vote.

739
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,000
So vote now.

740
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:19,000
They're also charming, I'm in such a fix.

741
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Yes, I'll just have to vote all the all-stakes.

742
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Who is the girl who will be the girl Miss Ryan goes six-three?

743
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:44,000
Moving to the bottom of the fourth inning with the Mets out in front four to two, and the first man up for the goal 45s will be the pitcher, Dick Farrell.

744
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,000
Barrell single his first time up in the game.

745
01:23:48,000 --> 01:24:00,000
Single moving Bob S. Ramonni through third base where he scored later on when Bob Dillis moved the double to right field.

746
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:07,000
Now the first pitch to the right hand batter by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>. It's a curve ball low outside for ball one.

747
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:14,000
Roger through three innings has given up two runs, a lot of total of six hits. Struck out two and has walked through.

748
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:22,000
Now time call as Farrell goes over to get a rag soaked with pine tar to put on the bat handle.

749
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:30,000
It's a warm night here, the temperature came down 81 degrees with the humidity up around 90.

750
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:35,000
And now Craig back to work and there's a ball hit down the third base side but going foul.

751
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:39,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> going over couldn't get to it, the ball goes on out in the bullpen.

752
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:50,000
Bullpen area is still a little bit muddy. The outside of the playing area on the field is somewhat damp from the rains here early this morning.

753
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:57,000
In field is very dry, the tarp was on it. Outfield in certain spots not too sure.

754
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:12,000
Now Craig with a new ball back to the plate inside and high, ball two. Farrell goes down to his knees, two balls and one strike.

755
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:17,000
On deck batter Bob Dillis, Craig back with a curve and there's a fly ball hit the left field.

756
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:22,000
One team waiting, now moves in a couple of steps and makes a guess.

757
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:29,000
Bob Dillis gets his first man here in the bottom half of the fourth inning and Bob Dillis comes up for the third time.

758
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:37,000
Dillis one for three in the game picking up a two base hit when he blew the ball out to shallow white field.

759
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Todd Canillo went out to get his glove on the ball but it was a tough chance and when he was hit by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a>, Stohr gave a two base hit.

760
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:58,000
Batting 242 for the year and batting from the right hand side.

761
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:15,000
And the first pitch to Dillis by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>, a fast ball bounced off of the plate. Roger going back has to wait, the ball comes on down and Dillis comes up with another hit.

762
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:21,000
Number seven off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> and no one had a chance for that one as Dillis bounced right off of home plate.

763
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:32,000
The ball bounced so high in the air that no one could make a play and Dillis now with two hits in the game and both of them go down the gift side.

764
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:38,000
And now with the winner's first base and one out, Alex Bangler comes in, left hand batting left fielder.

765
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:49,000
Bangler lying to right field his first time up and struck out swinging his second hole for two batting 283.

766
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:59,000
And he looks at a slider that's low for ball one, one ball no strikes.

767
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:12,000
Metzah four runs on a total of four hits, the 12-45s have two runs and seven base hits on Craig. As Craig connects back to the plate, it's low again, ball two, again a slider.

768
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:25,000
Two balls and no strikes.

769
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:34,000
Craig now throwing the first base but Dillis just a step away gets back easily.

770
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:39,000
Craig now back to the plate and again low with a breaking pitch for three balls and no strikes.

771
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:51,000
So Roger has walked two in the game now three and all to Alex Bangler.

772
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:56,000
Craig now has the scores of all the other major league games before you're at the end of the inning.

773
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:06,000
There's a fastball that's through for strike one.

774
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:11,000
Three balls and one strike.

775
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:16,000
And Craig now back on top and back to the plate, low again at ball four.

776
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:24,000
And that's a side run on his first base and this time it goes down to first on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>'s third walk of the game.

777
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:40,000
Bob Dole moves down to second base and Ramon Mejia steps into the batter's box.

778
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:51,000
Mejia picks up the first hit of the game off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> in the first inning. He stole second base but was forced out at third base as Carl Wolwick ends the inning.

779
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:56,000
Then in the third inning Mejia's grounded to the shortstop so he has one for two.

780
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:05,000
That is 287 with 23 home runs and 68 runs batted in.

781
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:12,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> with his first pitch to the right hand batter outside, low for ball one, the curveball way outside.

782
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:16,000
And Craig now behind one and all to Mejia.

783
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:29,000
All in throwing in the both end portament as they lead in the game four to two.

784
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:35,000
Craig into the stretch position and back with the one pitch, one-oh pitch, it's on first site.

785
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:46,000
Curveball breaking over the outside corner, one ball, one strike.

786
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:51,000
Enfield back looking for the double play with one man out.

787
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:57,000
Butters at first through second base.

788
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:02,000
Now Craig again back to the plate with a fastball popped off of the hands and foul territory.

789
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:07,000
Candidate Gerald tries to get to the ball but it wasn't high enough in the air to allow him to get to it.

790
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:14,000
It'll go a strike two. Three balls and one strike.

791
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:17,000
And Craig now back on top and back to the plate.

792
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:27,000
Low again at ball four. That puts the sign run on at first base.

793
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:43,000
Bob Doris moves down to second base and Ramon Mejia steps into the batter's box.

794
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:47,000
Mejia picked up the first hit of the game off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> in the first inning.

795
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:54,000
He's still in second base but with four outs at third base as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a> ends up the inning.

796
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:59,000
In the third inning Mejia's rounded to the shortstop so he has one for two.

797
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:08,000
That is 287 with 23 home runs and 68 runs battered in.

798
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:13,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> with his first pitch to the right hand batter outside. Low for ball one.

799
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:20,000
A curveball way outside. And Craig now behind one and all or two by his.

800
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:33,000
All on throwing into both end for the best as they lead him again four to two.

801
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:39,000
Craig into the stretch position and back with the one hit. One home pitch. It's on for a strike.

802
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:50,000
Curveball breaking over the outside corner. One ball, one strike.

803
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:54,000
Enfield back looking for the double play with one man out.

804
01:31:54,000 --> 01:32:01,000
Curveball way outside. And Craig now behind one and all or two by his.

805
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:14,000
All on throwing into both end for the best as they lead him again four to two.

806
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:20,000
Craig into the stretch position and back with the one pitch. One home pitch. It's on for a strike.

807
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:30,000
Curveball breaking over the outside corner. One ball, one strike.

808
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:36,000
Enfield back looking for the double play with one man out.

809
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:42,000
Butters at first and second base.

810
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:47,000
Now Craig again back to the plate with a fastball tossed off of the hands in foul territory.

811
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:52,000
Then the goalie tries to get to the ball but it wasn't high enough in the air to allow him to get to it.

812
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:56,000
That was all a strike zero. On the count now, one ball and two strikes.

813
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:01,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> asking for the ball that was fouled off to be put back in play.

814
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:05,000
So Kenneth Carroll goes back, pitch it up, toss it to Al Barney.

815
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:09,000
Al looks at it and puts it back in play.

816
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:14,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> will be working with the same ball.

817
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:19,000
Well pitchers like to feel a certain ball. Of course they like to keep the ball in play if that's the case.

818
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:24,000
Some feel a little bit smaller and also some are not quite as slippery as others.

819
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:29,000
Roger likes to work with a very rough fastball.

820
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:37,000
Throwing a lot of breaking pitches and also throwing the screwball after the fastball action.

821
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:41,000
Now it's one and two as Craig catches the mound and comes back with a curve that is low outside.

822
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Two balls and two strikes.

823
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:54,000
And that's the second base. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-spangler/>Al Spangler</a> at first.

824
01:33:54,000 --> 01:34:03,000
And Roman Mejiazadeh. All men run well.

825
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:08,000
Two balls and two strikes as Craig throws a curve again and swing it on this for strike three.

826
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:13,000
So Roger picks up a big strikeout and starts the game for out number two.

827
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:16,000
And now coming on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a>.

828
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:21,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> came in the game as a pitch hitter for Norm Larkin who started the game.

829
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:26,000
Larkin went out because of a bruised instep on his left foot as a result of a foul ball.

830
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,000
Roberts is first time up off break.

831
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,000
Round it out to first base.

832
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:41,000
Now batting from the left hand side for the second guy.

833
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Two men out. Larkin is at first to the second.

834
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:47,000
He's going to go for the two in favor of the left and the first pitch to Roberts.

835
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:57,000
A curve that's outside for ball one.

836
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:02,000
Roger on this warm easy has thrown quite a few pitches.

837
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:06,000
In the first game, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jay-hook/>Jay Hook</a> started the game and was taken out.

838
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:13,000
After six innings when he went out of the game he left two nothing.

839
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:16,000
Right now back to work and the one-oh pitch to Roberts.

840
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:18,000
A curve that's again outside.

841
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:21,000
Ball two has thrown to second base too late.

842
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:26,000
Back in ahead of the throw Bob Lillard.

843
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:30,000
After Hook went out of the game in the first game the Colts started up at two-two.

844
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:33,000
The Mets picked a lead in the top of the ninth three to two.

845
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:45,000
And then Larkin won the Colts score two in the bottom half of the ninth to win the game four to three.

846
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,000
Craig now back on top and back to the plate.

847
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:51,000
A curve ball that's thrown on and filed down the dirt.

848
01:35:51,000 --> 01:36:02,000
Outgoing the two balls in one strike.

849
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:07,000
The Mets will close out the season here in Houston with the Colts 45.

850
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:08,000
With a day game tomorrow.

851
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:11,000
Game time in New York will be a 3.55.

852
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:18,000
It'll be Bob Brute right hand curve ball with a record of nine wins and eight losses against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/craig-anderson/>Craig Anderson</a>.

853
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:20,000
Anderson has won three and lost 17.

854
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:30,000
He picked up his 17th loss in the first game here today.

855
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:33,000
Game time in New York is 5.55.

856
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,000
Dan's record is 3.55 here.

857
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:38,000
5.55 in New York.

858
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,000
And there's the next pitch to Roberts outside.

859
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:41,000
A curve ball.

860
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:49,000
Three balls in one strike.

861
01:36:49,000 --> 01:37:01,000
Game tomorrow will be on Radio MTV.

862
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:02,000
Three balls in one strike.

863
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,000
Craig looking for the shine now sets on the mound.

864
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Runners at first and second.

865
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,000
And the pitch back is a curve ball hit high in the air.

866
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:10,000
The center field.

867
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:14,000
Jim Hittman moving in now waiting.

868
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:17,000
And he makes the catch to retire the side.

869
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:20,000
In the end he has no runs on one hit.

870
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:21,000
No errors.

871
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:22,000
A walk and two man left on.

872
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:25,000
And the score at the end of four and he's a play.

873
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:26,000
A New York mid-four.

874
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:29,000
The Coke 45-2.

875
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:35,000
Now once again here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> to tell you about Milwaukee and Cincinnati and bring you up to date on the score.

876
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:36,000
All right, Ralph.

877
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:43,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1962/overview/>Milwaukee Braves</a> will be in New York Monday night for their final offense of the season in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/polo-grounds/>Polo Grounds</a>.

878
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:49,000
And before the game on Monday night, to add to the enjoyment of the evening, there will be field events.

879
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:55,000
Those of you planning to attend the game on Monday night, I hope you're planning to come early so you won't miss any of the pregame activities.

880
01:37:55,000 --> 01:38:00,000
Number two, if you're driving in, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a> parking facilities will be available.

881
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:04,000
One of the parking locations in and around the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/polo-grounds/>Polo Grounds</a>.

882
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:10,000
Wheelbarrow contest, the coaches line fold, fun around them and trying to locate home plate.

883
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:16,000
A fun-go-hitting contest, catcher's accuracy throwing contest, and relay throwing accuracy contest.

884
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,000
That's on Monday night with the Braves in town.

885
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:23,000
In other games, the Phillies beat the Braves 6-4.

886
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:26,000
McClase winning his tenth in relief, loser <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-henley/>Bob Henley</a>.

887
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,000
The Giants beat the Cubs 7-2.

888
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:31,000
Pierce the winner, he's now 14-5.

889
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:33,000
Cardwell the loser.

890
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,000
We're in the sixth inning with New York leading 4-2.

891
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:41,000
Round comes the arm from Thurl, a swing and a miss, he's throwing him a bird's pitch.

892
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:45,000
Rod went right after him, he's counted even at one ball, one strike.

893
01:38:55,000 --> 01:39:00,000
Bayfists are all even in the game, each team with seven, New York with a two-run lead.

894
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:05,000
Powerball back into the screen, one ball and two strikes on Rod Canille.

895
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:18,000
Rod Canille and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a>, both rookies, have now both been up over 300 times this year.

896
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:31,000
They've seen a lot of action.

897
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:40,000
One-two delivery, powerball back into the screen, no play.

898
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:49,000
Triggy Lavagento did a good job of scouting the West Coast last season for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

899
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:55,000
Keeping an eye out for possible draft choices in the expansion.

900
01:39:55,000 --> 01:40:05,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> may turn out to be a real find for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

901
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:14,000
Now Christopher Dakin's radar on first, the one-two pitch by Thurl, strike called, a blazer on the outside corner and Canille is called out.

902
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:17,000
That's the cover of the strike out of the game for Thurl.

903
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,000
The first strike out of the game for Thurl.

904
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:38,000
That is Chris Cannazero hitting against Thurl with two down and Christopher on first.

905
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:42,000
We're in the top of the sixth inning, four to two ball game, New York leading.

906
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:47,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chris-singleton-singch20/>Chris Singleton</a> right center field his first time, helping with Truck County's second trip.

907
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:53,000
Here's the pitch by Thurl, a swing and a miss on a little half-ass ball, strike one.

908
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:10,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> holding against the runner at first base.

909
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:14,000
Down comes the pitch, a swing and a miss, strike two.

910
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:19,000
I'll bet Cannazero is going to lose eight or nine pounds while catching this ball game.

911
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:25,000
It is true that the weather is so hot, it's only 81 degrees, which the Texans say is a cold wave for this time of the year.

912
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:28,000
But the humidity has been extremely high.

913
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:38,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jay-hook/>Jay Hook</a>, six sixth innings for the opening ball game and lost nine pounds.

914
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:45,000
Now the pitcher on the way, a line drive into center field, a face hit.

915
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:49,000
Christopher, a last second, he's going on to third, he was running on to fifth.

916
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:54,000
Runners down on first and third as Cannazero hangs up his second hit of the game.

917
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:58,000
And he really banged that one, a hard liner into center.

918
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:01,000
Right here while we wait for Roger Gray to come out of here.

919
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:04,000
Will Fogg for patient identification.

920
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:12,000
Time 11 56, you've got the news five minutes sooner on WABC New York, temperature 64 degrees.

921
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:25,000
Now's the time to come up to the Men's All Magic at Tour.

922
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:30,000
From Cole Stadium in Houston, this is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> and Ralph Cantor.

923
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,000
We're in the top of the sixth inning.

924
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:35,000
Men's All runners at the corner for two men down.

925
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:42,000
Roger, one hit and two downs up, he got a single to right field his first time up tonight.

926
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:48,000
Here's the pitch on the way, we're going to miss, rank one.

927
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:53,000
These hips have been hard to come by throughout the year for Roger.

928
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:56,000
He has four for the season.

929
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:07,000
Now they get Bobby Tepa now up and throwing again on the Houston bullpen.

930
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:12,000
Here's the pitch, right in there, fastball for a strike.

931
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:27,000
Two strikes count on Roger Gray.

932
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:31,000
Now the two strike delivery.

933
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:35,000
Outside a little delayed field by Canna Zerr, no thrill is made for him.

934
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:40,000
The paint goes back to the mound where it's taken by Kurt Svahle, he has no play as third.

935
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:48,000
Good execution on the delayed field by Chris Canna Zerr.

936
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:53,000
Canna Zerr waited until the ball just was hitting into the catcher's mitt before he broke.

937
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:58,000
And he got the Cole 45 by surprise, they made no attempt at all to get him.

938
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:02,000
So the match for Canna Zerr, runners on second and third now.

939
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:07,000
Count one and two on Roger Gray.

940
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:13,000
Zerr off the stretch, and the fifth throw is going to have for a 12-1st strike.

941
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:17,000
And that's the eighth strikeout in six innings for Kurt Zerr.

942
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,000
No runs, two hits.

943
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:21,000
No errors, two left on.

944
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:25,000
Must have had five left over six innings, but at the end of five and a half innings,

945
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:31,000
the score here in Houston, the New York must four and the Houston Cole 45's two.

946
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:34,000
And now a word from dual figure eight.

947
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:36,000
Are you thinking of changing to a men's ball cigarette?

948
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,000
Well, don't make a disappointment change.

949
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:40,000
Make the right change.

950
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:41,000
Come up to cool.

951
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:42,000
Here's why.

952
01:44:42,000 --> 01:45:08,000
Cool comes through for you.

953
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:26,000
Enjoy the extra cool that you feel in your throat when you smoke cool.

954
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:29,000
Enjoy that bright, clear taste all day long.

955
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:30,000
Come up to cool.

956
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:35,000
Cool with the pure white filter or cool without filter.

957
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:47,000
In the last of the sixth inning, the leader off the left of the Houston Cole 45's will be Joya Malpatano.

958
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:55,000
A warm-up action has been decided in the Houston Bowl Fin, although the pitcher is scheduled up next.

959
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,000
Malpatano has slid to left for a stretch out.

960
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:02,000
Joya is over two in the game.

961
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:07,000
Malpatano hitting a 232, back right-hander.

962
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:11,000
That's slams straight away in the infield, straight away in the outfield.

963
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:13,000
It's thrown by Craig Grouter.

964
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:14,000
It's a short.

965
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:17,000
Quick half played by Elio, the fake deferred in time.

966
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:25,000
Malpatano a race to Elio Sikun, the Mars Rundyre.

967
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:29,000
Went away and nobody on now and the pitcher is scheduled up and he'll be hitting.

968
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:33,000
Perl has real good power, but he can get ahold of one.

969
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:41,000
He hit a hard line drive over Neil's head for a solid facet in the second inning and he flied to left field in the fourth inning.

970
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:43,000
So he has one hit in two times.

971
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:59,000
The pinhand number 43, Dick Perl.

972
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:01,000
Perl hitting a right-hander.

973
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:14,000
That's a high fly in the east of left field.

974
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:35,000
Dick Perl hitting a high fly that was well hit.

975
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:42,000
Landing in the left field, the drive of about 390 feet, his second home run of the year.

976
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:48,000
Now it is a four to three ball game.

977
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:52,000
This lead flies to a single run on the home run by pitcher Dick Perl.

978
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:55,000
He has a lot of power when he meets one.

979
01:47:55,000 --> 01:48:07,000
Bob Millison takes outside at ball one.

980
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:12,000
Next pitch by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>, a snake on the ground towards second. Field is back to Neil.

981
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:17,000
He takes to Droneberry, getting Bobby Lillis two down.

982
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:42,000
Down in the last half of the sixth inning and the hitter will be Al Sanger.

983
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:54,000
Now the left fielder, Al Sanger, a smash on the ground to second.

984
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:57,000
It will be an error charge to Rod Kniell.

985
01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:00,000
That one went right through Rod's wicket.

986
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:10,000
Through the wicket and into right field for an error charge to Rod Kniell.

987
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:18,000
And as the man said, that's why they put a racer on the fence.

988
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:22,000
Now here's Ramon Mejia, the right fielder, batting third in the order he has.

989
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:25,000
One hit and three times.

990
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:35,000
He's been a leading power hitter throughout the year with the Houston Gold 45.

991
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,000
Now Mejia's waiting. Here's the pitch.

992
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:41,000
And he pops the ball up. An infield box fly on the right side.

993
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:43,000
Rod Kniell calling for it near the mound.

994
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:45,000
Drops the ball.

995
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:48,000
For the first, the snake.

996
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:51,000
Field is back to Neil.

997
01:49:51,000 --> 01:50:04,000
Neil comes back in safely.

998
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:07,000
Another charge to Rod Kniell.

999
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:11,000
A high, what appeared to be easy infield box fly.

1000
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:13,000
Rod moving in towards the mound.

1001
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:16,000
It was underwritten, lo and behold, it popped right out of his glove.

1002
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:23,000
Now Canada's Earl goes out to talk to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> for a minute so they don't let it bother you.

1003
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> will be coming up.

1004
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:27,000
Roberts will be hitting for the third time.

1005
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:33,000
He has grounded out to Throneberry and flying to center.

1006
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:36,000
These fans hurt the Mets in the afternoon ball game.

1007
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:44,000
They were guilty of five errors, including one on the ninth inning that won the game for the Houston Gold 45.

1008
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:49,000
Now Craig working under adverse conditions, runners on first and third.

1009
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:53,000
Two men down. The batter is a left-hand hitter, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a>.

1010
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:57,000
Two infield errors and the guns and runners at first and third.

1011
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,000
Here's the pitch.

1012
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:03,000
Popped foul over towards the dugout. Canada's Earl hoping for a play, running hard.

1013
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:07,000
And he stumbled over the bat boy and fell.

1014
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:10,000
And let's see how this one is called.

1015
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,000
He may be called out.

1016
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,000
He will be.

1017
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:19,000
The bat boy, crossed near the on-deck circle by the on-deck hitter, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a>,

1018
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:22,000
failed to get out of the way of this Canada's Earl.

1019
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:26,000
And Canada's Earl, with his eye on the ball and running towards the field boxes,

1020
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:33,000
stumbled over the leg of the bat boy and fell and the ball landed just a few feet beyond Canada's Earl.

1021
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:41,000
And so, Roberts is out on the play, gives Canada's Earl credit for a put-out.

1022
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:46,000
The side is retired in the sixth inning with no runs, no hits.

1023
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:49,000
Two errors and two left on.

1024
01:51:49,000 --> 01:52:00,000
So now at the end of sixth the score, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> four and the Houston Colts 45-three.

1025
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:03,000
All right, Bob, thank you very much.

1026
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:09,000
Kirk Farrell, taking his warm-up tosses now.

1027
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:13,000
Here's a special event that's going to take place at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/polo-grounds/>Polo Grounds</a> during the Mets last homestand

1028
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:18,000
that you won't want to miss on Sunday, September 16th during pregame ceremonies

1029
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:22,000
against the 1961 <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1962/overview/>National League</a> Champion, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1962/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a>.

1030
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:28,000
FOHAC Supermarkets and King Corn Stamps will present a fully equipped Daytona Lyke automobile

1031
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:30,000
to the most popular Mets player.

1032
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:35,000
On that day there will also be 2,000 guests of FOHAC at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/polo-grounds/>Polo Grounds</a>,

1033
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:39,000
one of whom also will receive a fully equipped Daytona Lyke.

1034
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:43,000
So remember the date, Sunday, September 16th, FOHAC Day.

1035
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:47,000
Tickets for this game and all three two games and how on sale at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/polo-grounds/>Polo Grounds</a>,

1036
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:50,000
Grand Central Station and Pennsylvania Station.

1037
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:55,000
Reservations may also be made at all, how it closed doors.

1038
01:52:55,000 --> 01:53:12,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elio-chacon/>Elio Chacon</a> is at the plate and the first pitch is in there for a call, strike one.

1039
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:25,000
And the pitch end is blown away for a ball, it's one and one.

1040
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:30,000
Chacon is one for two on a walk.

1041
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:33,000
Pitch comes in high and it's two balls and one strike.

1042
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:37,000
Now it's from that shortstop.

1043
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:42,000
In the afternoon game it was the Mets bad boy who very nearly was involved in a collision

1044
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:48,000
on a high pass but he escaped and just now the Houston Colt 45 bad boy was involved.

1045
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:54,000
Here's a pitch in there for a call, strike, it's two and two.

1046
01:53:54,000 --> 01:54:00,000
And because of the interference of course the odd was called and the put out is given to the catcher.

1047
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:16,000
Chacon in and waiting for the two-two pitch.

1048
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:20,000
The Mets leading here by a score of four to three in the top half of the seventh inning.

1049
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:24,000
The Colt 45s won this afternoon's game by a score of four to three.

1050
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:28,000
Here's a swing and it's a base hit going up the middle for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elio-chacon/>Elio Chacon</a>.

1051
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:35,000
Now Warwick up for it as he lays it in and Chacon turns and holds it first.

1052
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:40,000
Elio has two base hits in tonight's game and here comes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> who also has two.

1053
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:48,000
He had a single to drive in two runs in the top of the third and he had a single in the top of the fifth as well.

1054
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:53,000
Against the Houston Colt 45s this season.

1055
01:54:53,000 --> 01:55:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> has been up 34 times and has 14 hits so he is batting 412 against the Houston Colt 45s.

1056
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:04,000
He's a native Texan from Longview.

1057
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:13,000
Good shot but nothing was on so it goes as far one to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a>.

1058
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elio-chacon/>Elio Chacon</a> Woodling is now on deck for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

1059
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:26,000
It's up and under the stretch.

1060
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:28,000
Chacon leads it first and here's the pitch to Neal.

1061
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:33,000
It's a high hopper down the third base line taken by the catcher and the throw on the first.

1062
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:34,000
Not in time.

1063
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:36,000
He's safe and Neal and Chacon holds it second.

1064
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:38,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-smith/>Al Smith</a> out there to make the play on the ball.

1065
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:43,000
He's wheeled in through the first but not in time to get Neal as he's beaten out for another base hit.

1066
01:55:43,000 --> 01:56:00,000
Chacon holding at second base.

1067
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:02,000
So the Mets have back to back base hit.

1068
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:09,000
Tiefenauer is up and throwing in the bullpen.

1069
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:10,000
Right hander and knuckle baller Bob Tiefenauer warming up for the Colt 45s.

1070
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:14,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gene-woodling/>Gene Woodling</a> at the play to lift and better who has popped out and walked flat out to center field.

1071
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:17,000
Runners leading at first and second base.

1072
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:21,000
Third barrel with the pitch swung on and it's a high pop in the short center field.

1073
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:23,000
Coming in is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a>.

1074
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:26,000
He's underneath and he's waiting and he makes the catch for the out.

1075
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:28,000
There's no advance.

1076
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:32,000
He's gone away on Woodling's fly ball to center and Meyer Thornberry is coming up.

1077
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:43,000
Meyer Thornberry sliced the base hit into left field with the base hit loaded and the top half of the third to account for two of the four runs that the Mets scored in the top of the third.

1078
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:51,000
The Mets got all four of their runs in the top of the third and they lead here by a score of 4-3.

1079
01:56:51,000 --> 01:57:03,000
You know now is the time to sit back, relax and light up a cool cigarette.

1080
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:05,000
Chacon leads at second.

1081
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> leads at first.

1082
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:11,000
Here's a throw to second and he's on at second base.

1083
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:12,000
They've got Chacon.

1084
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:19,000
Chacon has been picked off as Bob Lillings, Detroit's not got his behind us.

1085
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:26,000
So the pickoff goes one-sixth.

1086
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:39,000
Two away, Neal at second.

1087
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:49,000
So that takes the pressure off Torek Farrell right here.

1088
01:57:49,000 --> 01:58:12,000
Now Meyer Thornberry standing in and waiting left hand batter. Here's the pitch, it's tight for ball one.

1089
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:20,000
And Bob Miller is throwing in the bullpen for the Mets. It's a swing and a miss. One-and-one count to Thornberry.

1090
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:32,000
Rick Herscher also is throwing to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sammy-taylor/>Sammy Taylor</a> in the bullpen.

1091
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:36,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> standing on the bag at first.

1092
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:47,000
Now takes his lead and Farrell's pitch to Thornberry is hung on and fouled off out of play. It's one-and-two.

1093
01:58:47,000 --> 01:58:56,000
Final game of the series tomorrow and it will be the final appearance of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> here in Houston, Texas this season.

1094
01:58:56,000 --> 01:59:10,000
We'll be on the air at 5.55 p.m. New York time. Game time is 6 p.m. New York time. That's 4 p.m. Houston time.

1095
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:22,000
Thornberry waits for the one-two pitch, takes it outside for ball two. It's two-and-two.

1096
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:33,000
The Houston Colts 45s won this afternoon's game by a score of four to three by scoring two runs with two men out in the bottom half of the ninth inning.

1097
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:38,000
Back to project a little further. There were two strikes on the batter.

1098
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:52,000
The swing and a miss and Farrell shocks up his ninth strikeout, hitting Meyer Thornberry in the top half of the seventh. The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> got no runs on one hit, two hits by Vagie Rapport.

1099
01:59:52,000 --> 02:00:00,000
No errors and one left. At the end, the six-and-a-half inning to play the tour is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> four and the Houston Colts 45s three.

1100
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:08,000
And now, here's a familiar tune well worth marching to.

1101
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:44,000
Musicians play it, people say it. My beer is Rhine Gold, the dry beer, and dry tells you why.

1102
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:52,000
Yes sir, dry tells you Rhine Gold has a crisp, bright, clean taste all at once. Discover the difference dry makes.

1103
02:00:52,000 --> 02:01:01,000
Give yourself a tall, refreshing glass of Rhine Gold extra dry. Enjoy it along with the ball game.

1104
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:16,000
Now for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>, Rick Hersher has gone into left field in place of Gene Woodley.

1105
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:22,000
If you're keeping a scorecard, Hersher will bat third in place of Gene Woodley.

1106
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:34,000
As we go to the bottom half of the seventh inning now, the Colts 45s have <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a> at the place, right hand batter.

1107
02:01:34,000 --> 02:02:03,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>, bending from the waist, looking into the side. He has it into the windup and the pitch is on the way. It's swung out and fouled out. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a> swung for a few minutes in the major leagues who throws left and bats right.

1108
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:10,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> works the pitch and it's inside. Football, it's one and one.

1109
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:20,000
The official paid attendance here tonight, 6,568. Total attendance in the ballpark, 7,678.

1110
02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:38,000
There's a pitch, low and outside and coming all the way back to the screen. It's two balls and one strike.

1111
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:58,000
The pitchers Larry Klaus and Galen Sisco have joined the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>. They are here and in uniform tonight. There's a pitch, low for ball, it's three and one. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sherman-jones/>Sherman Jones</a> has been here in uniform for this entire series.

1112
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:03,000
The 3-1 pitch. Blowing away any walkie-talkie.

1113
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:19,000
The Colts 45s open up. The bottom half of the 7, getting <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a> on it first. He represents potential tie run coming up is Bob Aspermante. Two for three tonight, which is based hit.

1114
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:29,000
That enabled the Colts 45s to win in the bottom half of the ninth this afternoon.

1115
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:35,000
Craig now up and into the stretch as Warwick leads it first and here's the pitch. It's in there for a call strike.

1116
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:50,000
I've found very charging at first base as was <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> at third in anticipation of a bonnet jump, but he did not square.

1117
02:03:50,000 --> 02:04:10,000
Lamarris coaching at third, running the strategy department of the Houston Colts 45s. There's a pitch out. Nothing might be on it, but it's one and one.

1118
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:26,000
Again, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> is up and into the stretch. Throw over. One-one. Perhaps you heard the announcement in the background that tomorrow it'll be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-bruce/>Bob Bruce</a> going for Colts 45s against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/craig-anderson/>Craig Anderson</a> in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

1119
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:46,000
There's a pitch high. Two and one. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/craig-anderson/>Craig Anderson</a> came on this afternoon to pitch tonight, and again, was the losing pitcher in the afternoon game.

1120
02:04:46,000 --> 02:05:05,000
Craig again is looking for the signs. Now wants to start the series all over again. Now he has the signs. There's a throw over. Warwick strikes safely.

1121
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:16,000
Breaking ball swung on as he flies to center. Land up to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> and he makes the catch. Halfway on the fly ball, the center car, Warwick returns to the baguette first.

1122
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:35,000
One away and catcher <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a>'s coming up. Topped out the first walk and fly to center. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> has six put-out in center field.

1123
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:52,000
Right hand batter. Got a home run this afternoon. Throw over. Warwick's back safely.

1124
02:05:52,000 --> 02:06:03,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> is not reluctant about throwing over to first base. Throws over again, not in time. Nor is he bashful about the number of times he will throw over.

1125
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:29,000
He has 13 pick-ups at the end as a result. Swing and a miss. Out of breaking ball. It's strike one to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a>.

1126
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:51,000
Fitch is low and away. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-goodman/>Billy Goodman</a> is in the on deck circle. Now swinging a bat for the Colt 45s with Joya Mautbatana due up next.

1127
02:06:51,000 --> 02:07:09,000
The Mets lead here by a score of four to three. Colt's batting in the bottom half of the seventh. The Fridge coming high and it's two and one.

1128
02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:22,000
It began to rain early this morning here in Yersin and rained throughout the morning. It rained hard at that. However, there's been no difficulty in getting these two ball games in.

1129
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:41,000
Craig steps off the river. Warwick shortens up at first base. Throw over, not in time.

1130
02:07:41,000 --> 02:08:07,000
Again a throw over. Warwick back safely. Fitch to the plate this time is low to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a> and it's three and one.

1131
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:23,000
Craig takes just a moment now before getting ready for the next pitch. Up and into the stretch. Here's a three-one pitch. In there for Colt, strike two. It's three-two.

1132
02:08:23,000 --> 02:08:48,000
One man out. Warwick the runner at first base. Warwick leads now. Throw over. He's back safely.

1133
02:08:48,000 --> 02:09:02,000
He takes his lead. He's running. Fitch is swung on and popped up down toward third. Canizero now has called and Chris Canizero makes the catch in foul territory with Neil Wright there. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> making the call.

1134
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:18,000
No advance work. Back to the bag at first. Two men out and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-goodman/>Billy Goodman</a> is coming up to bat for Joya Malfasana. Here's the announcement.

1135
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:33,000
Goodman left hand batter, one-time batting champion of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1962/overview/>American League</a>. Last year with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-white-sox/1962/overview/>Chicago White Sox</a> picked up by the Houston Colts 45s as a free agent this year.

1136
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:55,000
That's four. The Colts 45s three.

1137
02:09:55,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Craig up and into the stretch. Warwick leads at first. Here's the pitch to Goodman. It's low for ball one.

1138
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:28,000
Again, Craig looks in for his side from Chris Canizero. Has any checks and deals. Fitch is swung on. It's a ground ball foul on the first baseline continuing on down to the bullpen area of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

1139
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:36,000
One and one to Goodman.

1140
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/richie-ashburn/>Richie Ashburn</a> out of action for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> with a sore shoulder that he injured the opening game of this series when he went across the line on the left to try to field a foul pop.

1141
02:10:49,000 --> 02:11:03,000
Dias ended up in the mud hole down there all over and sustained a bruised shoulder that has him out of action. Can't throw.

1142
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:25,000
Here's a one-one pitch. It's one down and a miss. Strike two. It's one and two.

1143
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:39,000
Craig's getting a sign. Now the one-two pitch is outside two-two.

1144
02:11:39,000 --> 02:12:04,000
Fitcher Dick Farrell is due up next for the Colt 45. The Turk is trying tonight to become the first Houston Colt 45 pitcher to achieve ten victories. Here's a throw over to first for Warwick's back safely.

1145
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:11,000
Here's a swing and a drive out and a right spin appears to drop in there for a base hit. Hickman slips down. The ball goes by.

1146
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:20,000
The rounding period is coming on home now. It's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a> and he scores at the five ball game.

1147
02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:30,000
Moving on to second base is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-goodman/>Billy Goodman</a>. It was a loopy base hit. It's going to be scored as a hit and an error. An error on Hickman.

1148
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:38,000
He started over to scoop the ball up. He slipped down and it went past him. The score of that as a hit and an error for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-goodman/>Billy Goodman</a>.

1149
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:47,000
And right now in order to allow our stations to identify themselves, we pause for station identification.

1150
02:12:47,000 --> 02:12:59,000
This is WGY connected to your <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> station 810 on your radio dial.

1151
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:07,000
This is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> with Ralph Tanner and Ralph Murphy at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/colt-stadium/>Colt Stadium</a> in Houston, Texas where the Colts have just tied the ballgame 4-4.

1152
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:15,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-goodman/>Billy Goodman</a> with a looping base hit out in the center field on which <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> slips down trying to scoop it up and it goes as a hit and an error.

1153
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:28,000
And Dirk Farrell is coming up now with two men out. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-goodman/>Billy Goodman</a> leads off the bag at second.

1154
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:44,000
Greg Lick again for a side. And the pitch is low for a ball.

1155
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:59,000
The Colts scored first in this ballgame and had they got a run in the bottom of the second but in the top of the third the Mets battle back and got four big ones. The Colts got one in the bottom of the third inning. One in the sixth and one in the seventh.

1156
02:13:59,000 --> 02:14:14,000
There's a swing and a ground ball to the right side. It's going to be double for Neil Schach. Schach is over in time for the outs. That retires the side at Dirk Farrell. Drowns out second to first and in the bottom of the seventh. The Colts got one run on one hit.

1157
02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:24,000
One out, one left. And at the end of the seventh full inning to play the score is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> 4 and the Houston Colts 45-4.

1158
02:14:24,000 --> 02:14:37,000
Well the football season is coming along very soon now and New York City's first major football game of the season will be the game between Army and Syracuse at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/polo-grounds/>Polo Grounds</a> on Saturday, September 29.

1160
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:59,000
Now let's check scores of all the games around the major leagues. In the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1962/overview/>National League</a>, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-phillies/1962/overview/>Philadelphia Phillies</a> defeated the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1962/overview/>Milwaukee Braves</a> 6-4 as McLeish beat Henley. Roy Feaver's got his 20th home run of the season.

1161
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:15,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-torre/>Joe Torre</a> also had a home run. The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1962/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a> beat the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-cubs/1962/overview/>Chicago Cubs</a> 7-2 as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-pierce/>Billy Pierce</a> was the winner and on-court role the losers. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1962/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a> beat the Justin Addy Reds 5-4 tonight as Joey J. was the loser and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-jackson/>Larry Jackson</a> the winner.

1162
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:24,000
And at the end of five innings of play now it's the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1962/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a> 6-6 the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1962/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a> nothing. Pete Rickards pitching for the Dodgers. McLean started for the Pirates.

1163
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:33,000
And it starts for Maybin the third and Joe Gebenen the third. In the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1962/overview/>American League</a>, the New York Aggies defeated the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/boston-red-sox/1962/overview/>Boston Red Sox</a> 6-1. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/whitey-ford/>Whitey Ford</a> over Don Schwal.

1164
02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:46,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-white-sox/1962/overview/>Chicago White Sox</a> beat Washington 6-3 early win getting the 299th career victory. Rudolph the loser. Minnesota 9, Detroit 2, at fastball with the winner his 18th win and Masi the loser.

1165
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:59,000
Cleveland 3, Kansas City 2, Lattman the winner, Fister the loser. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-angels/1962/overview/>Los Angeles Angels</a> 2, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/baltimore-orioles/1962/overview/>Baltimore Orioles</a> 1, Bo Bielanski the winner. He's 9-9 now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-estrada/>Chuck Estrada</a> the loser.

1166
02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:12,000
Bordercoast 45, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-goodman/>Billy Goodman</a> stays in the ballgame at second base. In place of Joia Malfatana for whom he hits.

1167
02:16:12,000 --> 02:16:24,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> here in the top half of the eighth inning will send up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a>. He is nothing for three tonight.

1168
02:16:24,000 --> 02:16:31,000
Here's a special announcement for all <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> fans. Fan appreciation day will be held at the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/polo-grounds/>Polo Grounds</a> on Sunday, September 23rd.

1169
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:37,000
This is the Mets' last home game so listen to this station for further announcements and details next week.

1170
02:16:37,000 --> 02:16:43,000
Fister Hickman swung on, it's a foul ball coming back and it is going into the stand out of play.

1171
02:16:43,000 --> 02:17:02,000
Third baseman Rob Espermonte gave it a run but it's out of play.

1172
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:12,000
Turd Farrell started still in there. Bordercoast 45's Oluf Givinari has been warming up about three separate times throughout the course of this ballgame.

1173
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:19,000
Here's a pitch low, it's one and one.

1174
02:17:19,000 --> 02:17:27,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a> is on deck for the Mets betting here in the top half of the eighth inning.

1175
02:17:27,000 --> 02:17:34,000
The pitch is strong on it, the high fly ball deep to the left field, it is sending out Fangler way back there.

1176
02:17:34,000 --> 02:17:47,000
And this one is off the wall. Hickman moves on to second base and holds up there as Fangler was there and so was <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a>.

1177
02:17:47,000 --> 02:17:53,000
But ball bounced against the wall and they played it right off of the wall, in the air and on in.

1178
02:17:53,000 --> 02:18:01,000
Hickman is standing on second with a double as it hit above the head of Al Fangler out there on the wall in left center field.

1179
02:18:01,000 --> 02:18:07,000
So score it as a double for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a>.

1180
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:14,000
And that will bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a> scoring side here 4-4.

1181
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:22,000
That was the 11th hit for the Mets off Dick Farrell in this ballgame.

1182
02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:27,000
Again, knuckleball in about Tiefenauer, he's up and throwing in the bullpen.

1183
02:18:27,000 --> 02:18:35,000
Over the goal, 45.

1184
02:18:35,000 --> 02:18:38,000
Christopher's a right hand batter.

1185
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:41,000
Farrell is into the stretch, Hickman leads off the bag at second.

1186
02:18:41,000 --> 02:18:47,000
Here's the ball punted, it's up into the air but Farrell can't find the handle as it has a lot of English on it and on it first.

1187
02:18:47,000 --> 02:18:54,000
Christopher, no play made on him as Farrell finally slipped out trying to feel it and it scored as a base hit.

1188
02:18:54,000 --> 02:18:57,000
And trying to buck the ball, Christopher headed up into the air.

1189
02:18:57,000 --> 02:19:01,000
Farrell came over to try to make a play then tried to short hop it and could not control it.

1190
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:06,000
Had a lot of English on it, skidded away from him and he in turn skidded and tried to get back to make the play on it.

1191
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:13,000
So Christopher's on it first and Hickman has moved to third on the play.

1192
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:19,000
Rod Canille will be coming up now for the Mets with runners at first and third, nobody out as the Mets make a bit to push one across.

1193
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:22,000
Here in the top half of the eighth inning with the scoring side, 4-4.

1194
02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:30,000
That was base hit number 12 for the Mets, off Dick Farrell.

1195
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:34,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-goodman/>Billy Goodman</a> has come into the mound now and shortstop Bob Lilich has walked over.

1196
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:40,000
They're getting straightened out on how they're going to play it here with runners first and third.

1197
02:19:40,000 --> 02:19:45,000
Now Rod Canille is being called back.

1198
02:19:45,000 --> 02:19:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/choo-choo-coleman/>Choo-choo Coleman</a> comes out to the on deck circle.

1199
02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:55,000
Chris Cannadero walks over to say a word to Coach Salihimus at first base.

1200
02:19:55,000 --> 02:19:57,000
Canille goes all the way back into the dugout.

1201
02:19:57,000 --> 02:20:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/choo-choo-coleman/>Choo-choo Coleman</a> swinging back and coming up to bat for Canille.

1202
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:34,000
The man in the case of Canille has gone to his bench here in an effort to get a run across in the top half of the eighth inning.

1203
02:20:34,000 --> 02:20:38,000
Coleman in and waiting and here's Farrell pitch, run out and foul back and out of play.

1204
02:20:38,000 --> 02:20:45,000
It's strike one.

1205
02:20:45,000 --> 02:20:56,000
Felix Mantia is loosening up down in the bullpen area of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> now.

1206
02:20:56,000 --> 02:21:03,000
Strike one count to Clarence <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/choo-choo-coleman/>Choo-choo Coleman</a>.

1207
02:21:03,000 --> 02:21:05,000
Farrell's into the stretch and here's the pitch.

1208
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:12,000
Swung on and again a high foul ball back and out of play.

1209
02:21:12,000 --> 02:21:24,000
Two strike count to Choo-choo.

1210
02:21:24,000 --> 02:21:35,000
Farrell looks around the outfield, wind blowing out toward left.

1211
02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:37,000
Now the turkey's up and into the stretch.

1212
02:21:37,000 --> 02:21:57,000
Runners lead first and third. The pitch, fastball outside, it's one and two.

1213
02:21:57,000 --> 02:22:03,000
Choo-choo swinging that bat, standing in and waiting.

1214
02:22:03,000 --> 02:22:11,000
Now he steps out of the bat, he's thought, and comes back in.

1215
02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:15,000
Turd Farrell into the stretch.

1216
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:24,000
Pitch is swung on and it's a fly ball going deep to right field and Mejias, the time, makes the catch back up and coming down the line to score is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a>.

1217
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:29,000
And the Mets are out in front here by a score of five to four.

1218
02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:37,000
Foul was hit on the button out in the right field. Mejias skidded a couple of steps just as he got to the ball but managed to control himself enough to make the catch.

1219
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:44,000
But it was deep enough to score <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> and that was the idea. So score it as a sacrifice fly and a run better than the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/choo-choo-coleman/>Choo-choo Coleman</a>.

1220
02:22:44,000 --> 02:22:55,000
Holding that free space, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a> and Chris Canazaro is coming up with one man out.

1221
02:22:55,000 --> 02:23:03,000
Mets five and the goal forty-five is four.

1222
02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:09,000
Canazaro is two for three.

1223
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:16,000
Swings and sends a drive into right field. This is going to fall in for a base hit. Christopher turns it, second digging for third and Mejias overruns the ball.

1224
02:23:16,000 --> 02:23:20,000
Christopher slides into third and the throw-in stretch comes to the plate all the way.

1225
02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:27,000
And on the throw-in Canazaro moves to second. Runners hit second and third. Score that as an error on Mejias.

1226
02:23:27,000 --> 02:23:34,000
Score it as an error on Mejias. A single and an error. Gives the best runners hit second and third with one man out of it.

1227
02:23:34,000 --> 02:23:39,000
Chris Canazaro's third base hit of this game.

1228
02:23:39,000 --> 02:23:45,000
Right to Craig coming out of the dugout nine coming on up here for the Mets.

1229
02:23:45,000 --> 02:24:04,000
Steven Irish still throwing in the bullpen.

1230
02:24:04,000 --> 02:24:15,000
Mets have thirteen hits off Turg Perl. That is the most that he is allowed in a game this season.

1231
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:31,000
Time call here as coach. Cookie Lobbidge got an edge call. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> down. Talk to him to see what they're going to do here. There's one man out.

1232
02:24:31,000 --> 02:24:37,000
Jim Umbright is not throwing in the bullpen. Jim Umbright is up and throwing in the bullpen for the Colt 45s.

1233
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:43,000
There's the pitch to Craig. Swung out and missed. Strike one.

1234
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:47,000
Colt 45s with the infield in here to try to cut off a run to the plate.

1235
02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:52,000
Christopher's the base runner at third and Canazaro is the base runner at second.

1236
02:24:52,000 --> 02:25:02,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> had a base hit in the third inning of this game.

1237
02:25:02,000 --> 02:25:16,000
Turg Perl working straight away. Lions and Fires pitch out. And it's 1-1. Nothing on.

1238
02:25:16,000 --> 02:25:23,000
The Colt 45s gambling on a pitch out to the Mets just might have a play on. Trying to squeeze a run home perhaps.

1239
02:25:23,000 --> 02:25:30,000
But it didn't turn out that way and it counted one ball and one strike.

1240
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:34,000
Pitch is swung out. It's a high pop up over the plate. It's in foul territory and not coming back.

1241
02:25:34,000 --> 02:25:41,000
And coming back is Turg Perl Smith. He has a play. Makes the catch and runs it back to the area of home plate to prevent any advance.

1242
02:25:41,000 --> 02:25:48,000
Two way at Craig is fouled out to the catcher. Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/elio-chacon/>Elio Chacon</a> is coming up.

1243
02:25:48,000 --> 02:26:03,000
Runners second and third. Two men out. The Mets five and the Colts four.

1244
02:26:03,000 --> 02:26:08,000
Chacon struck out. Walked. Singled and singled.

1245
02:26:08,000 --> 02:26:14,000
Two for three and a walk in this game.

1246
02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:26,000
Perl again working straight away. And there for Colts strike one.

1247
02:26:26,000 --> 02:26:34,000
We're on the top half of the eighth inning.

1248
02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:42,000
Again the pitch. Check swing ground ball to free space. Taken there by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a>. Makes the play unassisted to retire the side.

1249
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:46,000
Elio checks the swing but has got it out up to first base unassisted.

1250
02:26:46,000 --> 02:26:54,000
And the top of the eighth the Mets got one run. On three it was one error and two men left.

1251
02:26:54,000 --> 02:27:02,000
So at the end it's seven and a half innings to play. The score is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> five and the Houston Colts 45s four.

1252
02:27:02,000 --> 02:27:08,000
Well you know everybody's got favorite. Favorite foods, favorite sports, favorite girls.

1253
02:27:08,000 --> 02:27:13,000
Before the baseball season began everybody had his favorite pick to win the pennants.

1254
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:20,000
And now all over New York people are talking about their favorite candidate for Miss Ryan Goal 1963.

1255
02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:26,000
Who will next year's Miss Ryan Goal be? Well that's up to you. Your votes will decide the winners.

1256
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:38,000
So next time you're ordering Ryan Goal Extra Dry at any one of the 45,000 sewers and taverns that sell New York's favorite beer, drop in a voter too for your favorite candidate at the familiar Ryan Goal ballot box.

1257
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:49,000
No matter who your favorite is, Drew, Chris, Loretta, Beverly, Eileen or Carol, enjoy a glass of Ryan Goal Extra Dry.

1258
02:27:49,000 --> 02:28:05,000
The one beer that year after year has been the chosen favorite of New Yorkers. Have a sip of Ryan Goal's extra clean, bright taste and you'll join the millions who say my beer is Ryan Goal, the dry beer.

1259
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:16,000
Now for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>, Felix Mantia is in to play second base.

1260
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:21,000
Leading off with the cold 45s, top of the batting order, shortstop Bob Lilis.

1261
02:28:21,000 --> 02:28:34,000
Slide to center, double single and grounded out second to first.

1262
02:28:34,000 --> 02:28:48,000
Charlie Gampari on the plate getting his own lineup card straightened out at this moment. Mantia will bat seventh in the batting order of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

1263
02:28:48,000 --> 02:28:53,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> with the pitch, a breaking ball in there for a close strike one to Bob Lilis.

1264
02:28:53,000 --> 02:29:01,000
Opening up the bottom half of the eighth inning.

1265
02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:07,000
Again the pitch, swung on in line out in the left center field in there for a base hit.

1266
02:29:07,000 --> 02:29:11,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> shook it up, relays it in, turning and holding it first.

1267
02:29:11,000 --> 02:29:16,000
Here's Lilis with his third base hit of the night.

1268
02:29:16,000 --> 02:29:22,000
He represents potential tying run with nobody out, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-spangler/>Al Spangler</a>'s coming up.

1269
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:29,000
Slide to right, struck out, walked and was on on Keneel Tera.

1270
02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:46,000
He'll have success either in the bottom half of the sixth inning, one on Spangler and one on Mantia.

1271
02:29:46,000 --> 02:30:00,000
John Berry over for a three forward with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>.

1272
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:05,000
Here's the ball running down the first base line. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> will have to go to first where Mantia covers.

1273
02:30:05,000 --> 02:30:26,000
The doctor bite successfully executed as move Lilis to second. Spangler has gone on one to four for scoring on the doctor bite.

1274
02:30:26,000 --> 02:30:34,000
And now Roman Mejia is coming up as Keneel Tera has gone out to the mound.

1275
02:30:34,000 --> 02:30:38,000
Here's the number of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-foss/>Larry Foss</a> is throwing in the bullpen.

1276
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:51,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-foss/>Larry Foss</a>, recently acquired from the Kyra organization, the attendant Asheville, is warming up in the bullpen.

1277
02:30:51,000 --> 02:30:56,000
Foss is a right-hander.

1278
02:30:56,000 --> 02:31:06,000
Come on Mejia, stand down, waiting. One man out.

1279
02:31:06,000 --> 02:31:18,000
Rookie <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> is on deck now, the gold 45.

1280
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:33,000
Craig Jackson deals, pitch is swung on and missed. One and one to Mejia.

1281
02:31:33,000 --> 02:31:41,000
Gold 45 is being run by coaches <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lum-harris/>Lum Harris</a> and Cotdiel and the absence of manager <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/harry-craft/>Harry Craft</a> who is bedded with virus.

1282
02:31:41,000 --> 02:31:53,000
Last year when <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/paul-richards/>Paul Richards</a> left the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/baltimore-orioles/1962/overview/>Baltimore Orioles</a> before the end of the season <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lum-harris/>Lum Harris</a> took over there as temporary manager.

1283
02:31:53,000 --> 02:32:10,000
Now the one-one pitch swung out in full foul down past Harris. The coaches box it third. One and two to Mejia.

1284
02:32:10,000 --> 02:32:26,000
Craig takes a moment and looks around the outfield. Wind blowing out toward left still whipping the flag.

1285
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:32,000
Roger looks in for a sign, has one now. Here's the one-two pitch.

1286
02:32:32,000 --> 02:32:40,000
And there's a call strike three. Got him looking. That's for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>, his fourth strike out of this ball game, a big one.

1287
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:48,000
So with two men out and the runner in second, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> is coming up.

1288
02:32:48,000 --> 02:33:02,000
Roberts came in and placed it to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/norm-larker/>Norm Larker</a> early in the ball game. He has himself been up three times about here. He came up to hit for Larker in the bottom half of the third inning.

1289
02:33:02,000 --> 02:33:18,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/norm-larker/>Norm Larker</a> foul the ball off his foot and sustained the bruise as he was out of the ball game. He did that in the first inning.

1290
02:33:18,000 --> 02:33:44,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> into the set position. Here's the pitch for the left-hand better end there for a call strike one. That's five. The goal forty-five is four.

1291
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:56,000
Bob Lilith leads the second base. Here's the pitch missing outside football. It's one and one. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-foster-2/>Larry Foster</a> still working in the bullpen for the Mets.

1292
02:33:56,000 --> 02:34:15,000
Parrott had him in spring training with the big club and this season he has been at Asheville and the Sally Leafs, a record of ten and five.

1293
02:34:15,000 --> 02:34:35,000
Now the one-one pitch. Missing the one away and it's two balls and one strike for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a>.

1294
02:34:35,000 --> 02:34:45,000
Roberts got his first major league hit here tonight before last but double that beat the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1962/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a>. He waits for the two-one pitch.

1295
02:34:45,000 --> 02:35:09,000
It's on the way. It's one-on and it's in the right field for a base hit charged by Christopher Rodney Curtis-Rubin coming home. There'll be no play on him. He comes to guard Christopher Rodney five-five-five.

1296
02:35:09,000 --> 02:35:25,000
That brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a> as again the goal forty-five is a battle back. Warwick is right-hand batter.

1297
02:35:25,000 --> 02:35:39,000
Taking a third base by Charlie Neely plays on to turn for his first in time. The out that we saw is the side. So in the bottom half of the eighth the goal forty-five is Rod with one run on two hits.

1298
02:35:39,000 --> 02:35:51,000
No errors and one left. So at the end of eight full innings of play the score is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> five and the Houston goal forty-five.

1299
02:35:51,000 --> 02:35:58,000
On Monday night, that'll be September 10th, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> will be in town at the Polo ground to take on the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1962/overview/>Milwaukee Braves</a>.

1300
02:35:58,000 --> 02:36:05,000
They'll be led in by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/warren-spahn/>Warren Spahn</a>, Bluebird, that's Joe Raskin, Eddie Matthews and of course Henry Aaron.

1301
02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:16,000
One of the major leagues outstanding performers, the goal forty-fives will be in for their, or rather the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1962/overview/>Milwaukee Braves</a> will be in for their last appearance of this season.

1302
02:36:16,000 --> 02:36:32,000
And before the ball game on Monday night there will be field events including relay throwing from the outfield for speed, fungo hitting for accuracy, catchers throwing into a barrel at second base and a wheelbarrow contest between the coaches.

1303
02:36:32,000 --> 02:36:42,000
A blindfolded wheelbarrow contest to see which coach is blindfolded and sign home plate. That's on Monday night.

1304
02:36:42,000 --> 02:36:53,000
Say, do you know why Rheingold tastes so good? Well, dry tells you why. It tells you that Rheingold is brewed the long slow cough me away for a flavor that's brisk and bright and clean clear through.

1305
02:36:53,000 --> 02:37:09,000
But why not find that out for yourself? Enjoy a cold glass of Rheingold right now.

1306
02:37:09,000 --> 02:37:14,000
We'll be going out of the top half of the ninth inning and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> will attend <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a>.

1307
02:37:14,000 --> 02:37:23,000
Charlie is three for four tonight. Against the Houston Golden Forty-Fives this season, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> is batting four hundred twenty-nine.

1308
02:37:23,000 --> 02:37:32,000
Fifteen to thirty-five.

1309
02:37:32,000 --> 02:37:40,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a>.

1310
02:37:40,000 --> 02:37:50,000
As Farrell's pitch is swung on and bowled back onto the screen to strike one.

1311
02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:55,000
The Golden Forty-Fives tied it in the bottom of the seventh and the Mets went ahead in the top of the eighth.

1312
02:37:55,000 --> 02:38:02,000
So the Forty-Fives have tied it again in the bottom of the eighth so the Mets will try and see what they can do in the top of the ninth.

1313
02:38:02,000 --> 02:38:06,000
That pitch misses low. It's one and one.

1314
02:38:06,000 --> 02:38:20,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> had a bases loaded single driving two runs in the top half of the third inning.

1315
02:38:20,000 --> 02:38:28,000
Farrell looking in for his side from Catcher <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a>.

1316
02:38:28,000 --> 02:38:33,000
The pitch swung on and has a looping fly ball into right. Roman Mejia moves in underneath.

1317
02:38:33,000 --> 02:38:37,000
He's waiting and he makes the catch for the out.

1318
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:46,000
One away for the Mets in the top half of the ninth and that will bring up Rick Hersher coming up for his first time in the game.

1319
02:38:46,000 --> 02:38:54,000
And Woodlings started in left field at night for the Mets.

1320
02:38:54,000 --> 02:39:10,000
There's a pitch low and away for ball one. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-thomas/>Frank Thomas</a> has not played in the ball game tonight.

1321
02:39:10,000 --> 02:39:16,000
Low and away. It's ball two to Hersher.

1322
02:39:16,000 --> 02:39:27,000
Hersher makes his offseason home in Dallas, Texas.

1323
02:39:27,000 --> 02:39:33,000
There is no more certain way to become unpopular in Houston than to let it be known that you live in Dallas.

1324
02:39:33,000 --> 02:39:48,000
Here's a pitch in there for a foul strike. It's two and one.

1325
02:39:48,000 --> 02:39:58,000
Marv Thornberry is on deck for the Mets. Here's two one pitch. Swung on and missed. Strike two.

1326
02:39:58,000 --> 02:40:07,000
Thornberry has struck out nine in this ball game.

1327
02:40:07,000 --> 02:40:15,000
His season's high is 12 strikeouts. It was a blazing fastball. He's always been pretty well up on the strikeout list.

1328
02:40:15,000 --> 02:40:20,000
Here's two two pitch. Swung on and has a fly ball to right. Roman Mejia still have a long run.

1329
02:40:20,000 --> 02:40:26,000
He's coming out and he has it lined up now underneath and makes the catch.

1330
02:40:26,000 --> 02:40:31,000
O'Neill and Hersher have flied out to me. He has two away and Marv Thornberry coming up.

1331
02:40:31,000 --> 02:40:38,000
He had a bases loaded single and the third driving two runs. Otherwise he gets struck out, popped out and struck out.

1332
02:40:38,000 --> 02:40:58,000
Here's Thornberry.

1333
02:40:58,000 --> 02:41:14,000
Swing and a foul ball back and into the stands out of play. Strike one is to count to Marv Thornberry with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> on deck for the Mets.

1334
02:41:14,000 --> 02:41:21,000
Here's a swing and a one-half for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-goodman/>Billy Goodman</a> at second. He plays on over to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> at first in time.

1335
02:41:21,000 --> 02:41:34,000
That all got the Mets out in order on the top of the ninth with no runs on no hits, no errors and none left. At the end of eight and one-half innings of play the score is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> five and the Houston Colts 45 five.

1336
02:41:34,000 --> 02:41:40,000
Say fans, do you ever feel you were having a curve thrown at you by your cigarettes?

1337
02:41:40,000 --> 02:41:48,000
That brand you were smoking that tasted okay when you first smoked it. Has it ever pulled a change up and begun to taste hot and dry?

1338
02:41:48,000 --> 02:41:56,000
When that happens it's time you made a change, a real change. It's time you came up to cool.

1339
02:41:56,000 --> 02:42:03,000
Tell you something, a lot of smokers have found out. Your cigarettes not tasting cool enough until you come up to cool.

1340
02:42:03,000 --> 02:42:11,000
You know why? It's because Cool's Memdol Magic actually brightens taste. It's refreshing all day through.

1341
02:42:11,000 --> 02:42:18,000
You'll feel extra coolness in your throat all day long. Extra coolness no other cigarette can give you.

1342
02:42:18,000 --> 02:42:26,000
Take it from me, I know. Fans, now is the time to come all the way up to cool. Right now, signal the man with the cigarette tray.

1343
02:42:26,000 --> 02:42:32,000
Get cool filter. Kings are cool without filter. Feel that extra coolness in your throat.

1344
02:42:32,000 --> 02:42:44,000
Before we go to the bottom of the ninth in order to allow our stations to identify themselves, we pause now for station identification.

1345
02:42:44,000 --> 02:42:51,000
This is WGY 810 on your radio dials connected to your New York Med station.

1346
02:42:51,000 --> 02:42:57,000
This is Lindsay Nelson with Ralph Chandler and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a>. In Houston, Texas, Bob Ascomani is up for the cold 45s.

1347
02:42:57,000 --> 02:43:06,000
Greg Fitch is one run and miss. Strike one.

1348
02:43:06,000 --> 02:43:11,000
In Los Angeles, with the Pirates batting in the top of the seventh, it's the Dodgers six and the Pirates nothing.

1349
02:43:11,000 --> 02:43:20,000
Pete Rickards still going for the Dodgers. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-butters/>Tom Butters</a> is not going for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1962/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a>.

1350
02:43:20,000 --> 02:43:35,000
Here's the pitch one away for ball one. It's one and one.

1351
02:43:35,000 --> 02:43:46,000
Playing at a fly ball to the left. Rick Herscher and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> are there and Hickman calls and makes the catch in left center.

1352
02:43:46,000 --> 02:43:51,000
Ascomani has flied out to Hickman three times.

1353
02:43:51,000 --> 02:43:57,000
That's seven put outs for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> tonight. One away, nobody on for the cold 45s.

1354
02:43:57,000 --> 02:44:08,000
That breaks up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a>.

1355
02:44:08,000 --> 02:44:17,000
Smith is nothing but three in a walk tonight.

1356
02:44:17,000 --> 02:44:24,000
The swing and a foul ball coming back. Canisaro gives it a run, but this one's in the stands.

1357
02:44:24,000 --> 02:44:34,000
Bill Greeneau has been recalled by cold 45s. He'll be here tomorrow and he'll be eligible to play <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-campbell/>Jim Campbell</a> in here to finger this afternoon.

1358
02:44:34,000 --> 02:44:39,000
There's a foul tip caught him on the hand and he's going to be out a couple of weeks.

1359
02:44:39,000 --> 02:44:51,000
So, information was received from President Warren Giles of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1962/overview/>National League</a> for a renew to be brought up.

1360
02:44:51,000 --> 02:45:00,000
Again, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> with the pitch. Low on the way, short hop by Canisaro. It's one and one.

1361
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> five on the Houston cold 45s, five. Bottom half of the ninth inning.

1362
02:45:08,000 --> 02:45:23,000
The pitch is low. It's two and one.

1363
02:45:23,000 --> 02:45:49,000
Here's the two one pitch. Missing outside is three and one. Jim Umbright is up and throwing again in the bullpen for the cold.

1364
02:45:49,000 --> 02:45:57,000
That pitch is low and away and he walked it. So, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a> has drawn a walk. That is the fifth walk given up by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>.

1365
02:45:57,000 --> 02:46:10,000
Here's the cold 45s of base running here in the bottom of the ninth with one man out. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-goodman/>Billy Goodman</a>'s coming up.

1366
02:46:10,000 --> 02:46:22,000
Goodman's done up one time. Singled and moved on to second on an arrow by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> in center field on the ground ball.

1367
02:46:22,000 --> 02:46:45,000
The pitch is low. It's the whole one. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> cheering him for a sign.

1368
02:46:45,000 --> 02:47:00,000
To the left hand batter, he's swung on and fouled off. That'll bring <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a> back on the swing. He was moving.

1369
02:47:00,000 --> 02:47:11,000
In the afternoon game, the cold 45s came to the bottom half of the ninth inning, trailing by one run and they pulled it out with two runs in the bottom of the ninth, winning four to three.

1370
02:47:11,000 --> 02:47:24,000
Here they're all even, 5-5 in the bottom of the ninth. And that's, of course, now trying to take the game into extra innings.

1371
02:47:24,000 --> 02:47:36,000
Craig steps off the rubber. Stoneberry moves over to the bag. Now, pitch to the plate's run as a fly ball to the left center field.

1372
02:47:36,000 --> 02:47:52,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> is called and he makes the catch. No advance by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-smith/>Hal Smith</a>. He returns to the bag at first. Eight put outs for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> in center field.

1373
02:47:52,000 --> 02:48:13,000
The first pitch for Terk Farrell is due up, but <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-temple/>Johnny Temple</a>'s got a bat for him here in the bottom half of the ninth inning. Temple batting for Terk Farrell.

1374
02:48:13,000 --> 02:48:24,000
Terk Farrell is out of the ball game, having got nine innings, which he gave up five runs on. Thirteen hits. He struck out nine and he walked two.

1375
02:48:24,000 --> 02:48:44,000
He pulled it in there for a call strike. Two men out the runner at first base. Score tied, 5-5.

1376
02:48:44,000 --> 02:48:55,000
And Craig checks. Here's the pitch for him and it's popped up off the line at third and given a run by Charlie Nail, but his understanding out of play.

1377
02:48:55,000 --> 02:49:18,000
The eight put outs by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> in center field tonight has tied the Major League record that was set by Mike Donlon of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-giants/1962/overview/>New York Giants</a> on October 13th, 1905 and tied by Ed Rausch of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1962/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a> on October 1st, 1919.

1378
02:49:18,000 --> 02:49:32,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a> has tied that Major League record here tonight with eight put outs in center field.

1379
02:49:32,000 --> 02:49:51,000
That's his little for ball. One and two.

1380
02:49:51,000 --> 02:50:02,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-temple/>Johnny Temple</a> in and waiting. Here's the one-two pitch. In there for a call strike. Three. Breaking ball and he took it. So for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>, that is his fifth strike.

1381
02:50:02,000 --> 02:50:13,000
That gets him out of the inning and we'll be going into extra innings here. The bottom half of the ninth. The goal 45 has got no runs. No hits, no errors and one left.

1382
02:50:13,000 --> 02:50:26,000
So at the end of nine full innings of play, the score is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> five and the Houston Colts 45.

1383
02:50:26,000 --> 02:50:33,000
Well, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1962/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a> won their ball game this afternoon. The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1962/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a> have lost their game tonight.

1384
02:50:33,000 --> 02:50:45,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1962/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a> are leading in their ball game tonight as the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1962/overview/>National League</a> Pellet Race is really tightened up here as we're in the last month of play.

1385
02:50:45,000 --> 02:50:55,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1962/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a> will be at the polo grounds on Friday night, September 14th, Saturday afternoon, September 15th, Sunday afternoon, September 16th.

1386
02:50:55,000 --> 02:51:06,000
It'll be the final appearance of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1962/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a>. They are the defending <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1962/overview/>National League</a> champions making their final trip in the polo grounds. So we hope you'll be on ad.

1387
02:51:06,000 --> 02:51:12,000
We're going to be going here through the top half of the 10th inning.

1388
02:51:12,000 --> 02:51:25,000
And the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> are going to be sending up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a> and Felix Mancia.

1389
02:51:25,000 --> 02:51:32,000
The final game of this series will be played tomorrow afternoon and we'll be on the air at 5.55 p.m. New York time.

1390
02:51:32,000 --> 02:51:52,000
That's later than usual. Starting time is 4 p.m. here in Houston. That's 6 p.m. in New York.

1391
02:51:52,000 --> 02:51:58,000
Jim Umbright has come on out of pitch for the Houston Colts 45.

1392
02:51:58,000 --> 02:52:03,000
Right hander Jim Umbright, one time the property of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1962/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a>.

1393
02:52:03,000 --> 02:52:10,000
Coming out in relief here as Farrell pitched nine and he gave up five runs on 13. It struck out nine and walked two.

1394
02:52:10,000 --> 02:52:14,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a>. He had a double last time up off the left field wall.

1395
02:52:14,000 --> 02:52:27,000
Umbright's pitch. He's in there for a Colts strike.

1396
02:52:27,000 --> 02:52:31,000
Again the big right hander works. Pitch is far and it's a ground ball.

1397
02:52:31,000 --> 02:52:36,000
Field is deep and third by Aspermante. The throw over to first. In time he got him.

1398
02:52:36,000 --> 02:52:40,000
Beautiful fielding play by Aspermante who one handed it.

1399
02:52:40,000 --> 02:52:45,000
And it made the complete pivot all the way around to make the throw on to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-robinson-robida00/>Dave Robinson</a> first.

1400
02:52:45,000 --> 02:52:50,000
In time to get <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-hickman/>Jim Hickman</a>. One away for the Mets in the top half of the 10th.

1401
02:52:50,000 --> 02:53:04,000
That's going to bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-christopher/>Joe Christopher</a>. Jim Umbright last year was with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1962/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a> and with Charleston in the international league.

1402
02:53:04,000 --> 02:53:12,000
No record with the Cardinals. He won 10 and lost two at Charleston last year.

1403
02:53:12,000 --> 02:53:15,000
Here's the swing and a comeback here to Umbright.

1404
02:53:15,000 --> 02:53:29,000
Throw it on over to first to Robinson. Two away, nobody on. That's going to bring up Felix Mancilla for the Mets.

1405
02:53:29,000 --> 02:53:43,000
Umbright attended the University of Georgia. He graduated with a BS degree. Started as an infielder.

1406
02:53:43,000 --> 02:54:00,000
Mancilla right hand batter. For his first time in the ball game. Takes a call, strike one.

1407
02:54:00,000 --> 02:54:16,000
The Mets five and the Houston Gold 45s five. Blowing away, it's ball one, one and one.

1408
02:54:16,000 --> 02:54:27,000
The games are not likely to be much more closely contested than have been those between the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> and the Gold 45s this season.

1409
02:54:27,000 --> 02:54:38,000
The one-one pitch. Sworn out and missed. He took a ripple at that one.

1410
02:54:38,000 --> 02:54:44,000
Chris Canazaro is on deck for the Mets. Chris has three bases tonight.

1411
02:54:44,000 --> 02:54:49,000
Umbright is pitching with two men out and nobody on. Here's the one-two pitch to Mancilla.

1412
02:54:49,000 --> 02:55:00,000
Two and away, it's two and two. The Mets got four runs in the top half of the third inning on four hits.

1413
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:10,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> had a bases loaded two run single. Mara Thornberry had a bases loaded two run single to account for the four runs.

1414
02:55:10,000 --> 02:55:14,000
The Mets got another in the top half of the eighth inning.

1415
02:55:14,000 --> 02:55:20,000
Here's the double. Christopher is single. Here's the swing and a ground ball is short.

1416
02:55:20,000 --> 02:55:25,000
Taken by Willis, he plays on to Robertson. Time for the out.

1417
02:55:25,000 --> 02:55:31,000
So Jim Umbright cuts the side down in order in the top of the tenth with no runs on, no hits, no errors and none left.

1418
02:55:31,000 --> 02:55:40,000
And at the end of nine and one half, any to play, the score is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> five to Houston Gold 45s five.

1419
02:55:40,000 --> 02:55:50,000
It's a good time to enjoy the brisk, bright flavor of Rheingold, but it goes especially well with these wonderful autumn days that are coming up.

1420
02:55:50,000 --> 02:55:59,000
It's a wonderful day. It's called for the wonderful taste of Rheingold Extra Dry, a taste that's brisk and bright and clean, clear through.

1421
02:55:59,000 --> 02:56:08,000
Rheingold is beer if beer should taste and dry tells you why. It tells you that Rheingold is brewed the long, slow, costly way.

1422
02:56:08,000 --> 02:56:17,000
Brewed extra dry to be extra refreshing. So you better stock up now and have plenty of cool, refreshing Rheingold Extra Dry on hand.

1423
02:56:17,000 --> 02:56:31,000
Enjoy those wonderful days with the wonderful beer Rheingold Extra Dry.

1424
02:56:31,000 --> 02:56:40,000
We're going now to the bottom half of the tenth inning. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> still on the mound for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a>. He's started. He's come all the way.

1425
02:56:40,000 --> 02:56:49,000
The coach will be sending up Bob Lilis, shortstop, who has three hits tonight.

1426
02:56:49,000 --> 02:57:06,000
Given in one run, it's short one himself. Lilis one time the property of the Dodgers. Bunch of all on the first baseline. Strongberry left the field. It can Craig get there ahead of a runner? He cannot. He's safe.

1427
02:57:06,000 --> 02:57:26,000
A perfect pass by Bob Lilis. Strongberry had to play it and then Lilis beat <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> to the bag. So it's a base hit for Lilis, his fourth of the night. Coming here in the bottom half of the tenth inning. He has funded his way on.

1428
02:57:26,000 --> 02:57:49,000
Lilis now seven bases in his last 11 times up. Now Fangler coming up now for the gold 45s. The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> of course have to protect against the likelihood of the sacrifice here with Lilis representing potential winning run on that first base for the gold 45s in the bottom half of the tenth inning.

1429
02:57:49,000 --> 02:57:56,000
From the field here number 21, now Fangler.

1430
02:57:56,000 --> 02:58:16,000
Fangler sacrifice in the bottom half of the eighth. When Lilis got on to open up the eighth, they finally got in a round to tie the game at that point. Here's a throw over.

1431
02:58:16,000 --> 02:58:31,000
Again, it's a stretch. The pitch to the pitch out, and it's all one. Fangler has started squaring around for the sacrifice.

1432
02:58:31,000 --> 02:58:53,000
Brother <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-neal/>Charlie Neal</a> way in on the edge of the grass and serves. Strongberry charging on the pitch at first base. It's funded on to first base line. Strongberry takes it. He'll go to first where Mantia covers these out. The sacrifice is executed. Moving Lilis to second base.

1433
02:58:53,000 --> 02:59:08,000
It's three to four for scoring and Roman Mejia coming up.

1434
02:59:08,000 --> 02:59:24,000
It's one for five in this game. Strongberry getting on a big strikeout in the bottom half of the eighth inning. In a situation similar to this.

1435
02:59:24,000 --> 02:59:40,000
Except now we're in the bottom half of the tenth inning with a short tie by five.

1436
02:59:40,000 --> 02:59:57,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> into the stretch and the pitch. Blowing away for ball one.

1437
02:59:57,000 --> 03:00:01,000
Again, Craig looks in for his side.

1438
03:00:01,000 --> 03:00:11,000
And his arrow has been behind the plate all the way tonight.

1439
03:00:11,000 --> 03:00:30,000
The runner throws the first. The runner's advancing now to third. Strongberry's throwback not in time. Chacon takes the throw. Bob Lilis goes off from second to third. Two men out. Brown ball to Neal. Fielded cleanly. He looked at Lilis. Held him there momentarily.

1440
03:00:30,000 --> 03:00:42,000
He fired on the first, but the minute he did, Lilis headed to third. Strongberry's throwback across the mound to Chacon. Covering the back was not in time. Rookie <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a>. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> is coming up now.

1441
03:00:42,000 --> 03:00:59,000
He's single to drive in the run in the bottom half of the eighth inning. He's taking a moment to talk to Coach <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lum-harris/>Lum Harris</a>.

1442
03:00:59,000 --> 03:01:06,000
Roberts is heading just outside the batter's box. He's a left-hand batter.

1443
03:01:06,000 --> 03:01:18,000
In Los Angeles, the Dodgers have batted in the bottom half of the eighth, leading the Pirates by a score of six to one.

1444
03:01:18,000 --> 03:01:34,000
The pitch in there for a call strike. Roberts is one for four tonight.

1445
03:01:34,000 --> 03:01:50,000
Lilis leads off the bag at third. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> works with the windup. And the pitch is low. The ball one. It's one and one.

1446
03:01:50,000 --> 03:02:09,000
That's five on the cold 45. Five in the bottom half of the tenth inning. Here's the one-one pitch. It's in there for a call strike two. Roberts now steps back out of the batter's box, gets a handful of dirt, and comes back in.

1447
03:02:09,000 --> 03:02:31,000
Craig leaning way over to go to the side. And as he does, Roberts backs out of the batter's box.

1448
03:02:31,000 --> 03:02:43,000
Comes back in.

1449
03:02:43,000 --> 03:03:12,000
Now Craig takes a moment. It's the palm of his hand right down on the dirt, wipes his fingertips. Now he's up to work. Here's the one-two pitch. It's inside. It's two and two. The coach with two men out and the runner at third in the bottom of the tenth.

1450
03:03:12,000 --> 03:03:40,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> is waiting. Swings that button. Here's the pitch. It's outside and it's a full count now to Roberts with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/carl-warwick/>Carl Warwick</a> on deck for the cold 45.

1451
03:03:40,000 --> 03:03:55,000
Again, Craig looks in to get his side. Shakes off the side.

1452
03:03:55,000 --> 03:04:10,000
Now again, Roberts is back out of the batter's box. Genozeros started out toward the mound. Takes a couple of steps, stops, and now as Craig waves him back.

1453
03:04:10,000 --> 03:04:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a> back in. He's waiting for a payoff pitch. Craig shakes off one side. Another. He's running him all the way around. Now the three-two pitch.

1454
03:04:25,000 --> 03:04:41,000
Oh, it gets by Genozeros. Coming home is Lillis with the run that ends the ballgame. The ballgame is over as the cold 45s have won it. That pitch hit him in the dirt. So it is a wild pitch. It hit him in the dirt.

1455
03:04:41,000 --> 03:04:56,000
A wild pitch that walks better than <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a>, but more importantly, it allows <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-lillis/>Bob Lillis</a> to come home from third with a winning run and the cold 45s have won the ballgame in the bottom half of the tenth inning.

1456
03:04:56,000 --> 03:05:15,000
They won the afternoon game by getting two runs in the bottom of the ninth. They have won the ninth night game on a wild pitch in the bottom half of the tenth inning thrown by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a>. And so in the bottom half of the tenth inning, two were on when the winning run was scored as a walk was drawn by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a>.

1457
03:05:15,000 --> 03:05:26,000
We'll be back in a moment with a final summary and totals right now. The final score of this game, the Houston cold 45s sixths the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> five in ten innings.

1458
03:05:26,000 --> 03:05:51,000
Well keep in mind that the Mets will be home at the Polo grounds on Monday night to take on the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1962/overview/>Milwaukee Braves</a>. And they will be there on September 14th at night, September 16th in the afternoon and September 16th in the afternoon against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1962/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a>. And Monday the 17th is off. The Houston cold 45s will be out on the 18th for a Twineye doubleheader, the 19th for a Twineye doubleheader, and the 20th for an afternoon game.

1459
03:05:51,000 --> 03:06:00,000
And then comes the season ending series at home for the Mets against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-cubs/1962/overview/>Chicago Cubs</a>. Tickets of course now on sale for all of those games.

1460
03:06:00,000 --> 03:06:15,000
Do you ever notice how some ball players are natural? You know, some of the major leaguers through determination and hard work get to be pretty good athletes. But the really great stars, I mean the all-time greats, well they were natural ball players the day they were born.

1461
03:06:15,000 --> 03:06:32,000
Same way with beer. Most beers taste pretty good, but the really great ones, they are natural, like Rheingold Extra Dry. Even before it's brewed, Rheingold is naturally a great beer. Because Rheingold uses only the finest natural ingredients.

1462
03:06:32,000 --> 03:06:53,000
The finest grain, the finest hops, and the purest water in Rheingold Extra Dry. And Rheingold is brewed long and slow. Brewed naturally. Even the sparkle in Rheingold is natural. Yes, Rheingold's natural brewing takes extra time and that costs extra money, but there are no shortcuts to an Extra Dry beer.

1463
03:06:53,000 --> 03:07:15,000
When was the last time you enjoyed the delicious brisk and bright flavor of an Extra Dry beer? When was the last time you enjoyed a Rheingold? Well, here in Houston, the Cope 45s have scored a run on a wild pitch in the bottom half of the 10th inning to defeat the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> by a score of 65 and to tell you something about today's activity here at Rathkeiner.

1464
03:07:15,000 --> 03:07:36,000
Well, Roger Grigg outlasted the starting pitcher for the Cope 45s. Dick Farrell, as Farrell won nine innings, it gave up to Jim Humright. But he could not outlast the Houston Coles team at all as they scored in the 10th inning to win the doubleheaders, winning the first game by a score of 4 to 3 and the second game by a score of 6 to 5.

1465
03:07:36,000 --> 03:07:49,000
Roger went nine and two-thirds innings. That is the second time that he has gone in extra innings this season. In the nine and two-thirds innings, he gave up six runs to last 12 base hits. He struck out five and walked five.

1466
03:07:49,000 --> 03:07:58,000
In the 10th inning, the first man up, Bob Willis, beat out a bunt for a base hit. Roger, a little bit late covering from the pitcher's non, and he was not able to make the play.

1467
03:07:58,000 --> 03:08:14,000
And now Spangler laid out a perfect sacrifice bunt to move Bob Willis over to second base. And when Roman Bahia scrounged out the third, the break of the game came for the Houston Cope 45s, and Bob Willis very alertly went over to third base on the throw to first base.

1468
03:08:14,000 --> 03:08:28,000
As he was on third base, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> worked to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-roberts/>Dave Roberts</a>, who had singled in the time run in the eighth inning, the fifth one for the Cope 45s. He got the count to three and two and gave up all four, which also turned out to be a wild pitch.

1469
03:08:28,000 --> 03:08:38,000
And on the wild pitch, Willis scored from third base with the winning run of the ball game. For the Cope 45s, their 14th extra inning game, the fifth one they have won this year.

1470
03:08:38,000 --> 03:08:53,000
They have lost eight and tied one. The Mets played their 16th extra inning game, and they lost their 12th while winning four. It was also the 53rd one-run game played by the Mets. They have won 16 now and lost 37.

1471
03:08:53,000 --> 03:09:08,000
In the series here at Houston, the Cope 45s have won seven of the eight games played here in Houston. One game remaining, that will be tomorrow. Game time will be at 5.55 New York time. Scheduled to go on that game, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-bruce/>Bob Bruce</a>, for the Cope 45s.

1472
03:09:08,000 --> 03:09:16,000
He has a record of nine wins and eight losses against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/craig-anderson/>Craig Anderson</a>, who has lost 16 in a row, and he has a record of three and 17.

1473
03:09:16,000 --> 03:09:26,000
At the Polar Grounds, the Cope 45s have a record of two wins and two losses. They'll be coming in for five more games, playing in the Polar Grounds on the 18th, 19th, and 20th.

1474
03:09:26,000 --> 03:09:34,000
The 18th will be a twine-eyed doubleheader, the 19th a twine-eyed doubleheader, and a single-day game on the 20th.

1475
03:09:34,000 --> 03:09:52,000
On the season, the Cope 45s have won nine of the 12 games played so far, and the Mets now on the road have lost their 58th game. They have won 17. They have won 18 while losing 51 at home, and their overall record now, 35 wins and 109 losses.

1476
03:09:52,000 --> 03:10:06,000
For the Cope 45s, they have won the 31st game of the year here in Cope Stadium. They have lost 45 here, and with their old record of 25 and 42, they have an overall record of 55 wins, make it 56 wins and 87 losses.

1477
03:10:06,000 --> 03:10:14,000
Copes have now won six in a row. This is the highest they have ever won in their history, and they have won 11 of their last 14 games.

1478
03:10:14,000 --> 03:10:20,000
The Mets have lost six in a row with their loss here in the second game of the split, a day-night doubleheader.

1479
03:10:20,000 --> 03:10:33,000
That's the story on the first game. The second game, I should say, on the first game, the Copes won it 4-3 when they came from behind to score two runs in the ninth inning to give the loss to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/craig-anderson/>Craig Anderson</a>, his 17th of the year.

1480
03:10:33,000 --> 03:10:41,000
The winning pitcher in the first game was Russ Kammerer, his fourth win against two losses. Once again, the final score in the second game, the Copes sixth.

1481
03:10:41,000 --> 03:10:50,000
The Mets five, the winning pitcher Jim Umbrite. He has now a record of two wins and no losses, and losing pitcher <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-craig/>Roger Craig</a> has a record of seven wins and 23 losses.

1482
03:10:50,000 --> 03:10:58,000
That's the story right here from Cope Stadium. Don't forget, a game tomorrow, the final game of the season here in Houston between the Mets and the Copes.

1483
03:10:58,000 --> 03:11:06,000
Game time will be at 5.55 New York time, and the game will be both on television and on radio.

1484
03:11:06,000 --> 03:11:14,000
This broadcast came to you through the courtesy of the Liebman Breweries, New York and New Jersey, and Brown and Williamson Tobacco Corporation.

1485
03:11:14,000 --> 03:11:21,000
Right now, I'd like to remind you to enjoy fine, cold Rheingold. Rheingold Extra Dry.

1486
03:11:21,000 --> 03:11:28,000
Those two little words, extra dry, tell you why Rheingold is preferred by more New Yorkers than any other beer.

1487
03:11:28,000 --> 03:11:47,000
Enjoy a nice, cold, ice cold glass of good Rheingold Extra Dry. Now this is Ravkan here saying so long for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a>, our statistician <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-mcdonald/>Joe McDonald</a>, our engineer Joe Kresnicka, our producer <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-gallagher/>Joe Gallagher</a>, and for cool cigarettes.

1488
03:11:47,000 --> 03:12:06,000
You'll feel extra coolness in your throat when you come up to the mental magic of cool. Once again, the final score, the two games here from Houston, the first game won in the daytime by the Colt 45 4-3, the second game won here tonight by the Colt 45 6-5 in 10-8.

1489
03:12:06,000 --> 03:12:20,000
So long everybody, this is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1962/overview/>New York Mets</a> Baseball Network.
