00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:09,000

12
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:17,000
They have since at least a tie with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1966/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a> for the overall series of this season.

13
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Right here in <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/candlestick-park-i/>Candlestick Park</a> the Mets have won five of eight plays so they have since the win against the Giants here in San Francisco in their overall efforts this season.

21
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Wadi Herzog the third base coach for the Mets. He was the one who set up the stealer home for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> last night that proved to be the winning run of the ball game in the top of the ninth.

22
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,000
And coaching at first base <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a>. The umpires for the game today. Harry Wendell staff behind home plate.

23
00:03:51,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Shag Crawford at first base. Ed Vargo at second base and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/doug-harvey/>Doug Harvey</a> at third. This broadcast is being beamed around the world through the services of the Armed Forces Radio and a salute from us here at Cadillac to all of you.

24
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Defensively for the Giants it's Tom Holler catching at first base <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> at second base Howlander. Kido Fuentes the shortstop and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a> at third. Jim Rayhart who is the regular third baseman is being wrested by manager Herman Frank.

25
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,000
He has had a great record against the Mets this year. He has hit a total of eight home runs against the Mets pitching.

26
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:42,000
In left field a Sousa Lou. In center field <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> checking the flags as the wind blows toward right field and playing at right field <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a>. Breeze is fairly calm right now.

27
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Although there is the prevailing wind of about five to ten miles an hour blowing out toward right.

28
00:04:48,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Now the Mets have their leadoff batter in the batter's box. But Harrelson the shortstop he'll be followed by Chuck Yiller and then <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a>. Harrelson batting 196 with no home runs and three runs batted in.

29
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Since joining the Mets from Jacksonville he has stolen five bases in five tries.

30
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Switch hitter batting from the left hand side and one Marichal into the windup in the first pitch of the ball game and has taken over the outside corner called a strike.

31
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Last ball by Marichal and on the pitch Harrelson was moving up as though to bunt.

32
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Third baseman <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a> playing about 80 feet away right near the line to guard against the bunt.

33
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> also in about 80 feet away right on top of the left hand batter.

34
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Now the one strike delivery a curveball that breaks in and is called strike two.

35
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Marichal with a variety of pitches the big curve, the slow curve, the hard curve, the slider, the sidearm fastball, overhand fastball. He throws from all around.

36
00:05:50,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Fine control and at two strikes his pitch back is the overhand curve. It's popped out towards the second baseman taking on the first stop by Hal O'Neill. His throw to first base picks up the first out of the ball game and that will bring up Chuck Yiller.

37
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Chuck playing at second base against the right hand pitching. The Mets are trying to get as much left hand bat in the ball game as they can find.

38
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:30,000
We have <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> as the right hand batter and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> as the right hand batter along with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hawk-taylor/>Hawk Taylor</a> in their first eight men.

39
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Marichal left hander with a 3-0-8 average and the first pitch to him is a ball that's down low curveball breaking too far down below the knees. This ball won the first ball of the game thrown by Marichal.

40
00:06:46,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Marichal won back again. This time the curveball has hit on the ground foul towards <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a>. Count evens out at 1-1. The Giants had won last night's ball game. Marichal was to have skipped the Mets and pitched against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1966/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a>.

41
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:27,000
They come in here tomorrow from Los Angeles but with the Giants losing, manager <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/herman-franks/>Herman Franks</a> pushed Marichal in his regular turn, a swing and a miss at strike two. As he felt he could take no chances against even losing a ball game after his loss last night.

42
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:40,000
One ball, two strikes, the right hander back to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> and the pitch is popped off the hands toward the shortstop. Fido Fuentes shading from the sun back on the edge of the outfield grass and he picks it up for the out.

43
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Throw two away. Two put away easily by Marichal. It brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> who has a nine game hitting streak going.

44
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Pittsburgh at Los Angeles starting pitchers of that ball game, Tommy Sisk going for the Pirates. He has a record of 10-3 and he'll be opposed by Joe Muller who has won two and lost three.

45
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
And this is a must game for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1966/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a>. They have lost the first two of the three game series.

46
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:17,000
First pitch to Boyer drills deep to left field. A wedding there as the wind holds the ball up is a two saloon. He makes the catch and that retires the side.

47
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:29,000
So Marichal retires his first three men and the Mets are out in the top of the first with no score and the Giants now coming to bat.

48
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Going to the bottom half of the first, the final game in this series between the Mets and Giants and the final game of the year between the Mets and Giants, Dennis Rybman taking his warm up pitches.

49
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:49,000
At the same time against San Francisco he defeated them by a score of two to one holding the Giants to five hits. Rybman on that date beat <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gaylord-perry/>Gaylord Perry</a>.

50
00:08:49,000 --> 00:09:02,000
So he is now taking on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>. Dennis with a fine record of 11 wins and seven losses. He has won more games as a right hand pitcher for the Mets than any other Mets pitcher.

51
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:18,000
He's 25 years of age. 511, 175 pounds. He lives in Long Island. He is 2-0 over the Giants this year and has a lifetime record in the major leagues of 13 wins and 15 losses.

52
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:28,000
And his first pitch, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tito-fuentes/>Tito Fuentes</a>, is a curve ball outside for a ball. Fuentes batting 255 with seven home runs and 34 runs batted in, a right hand batter.

53
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:37,000
He'll be followed by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a>. And the next pitch is call of strike. Carl Rybman has a count of one and one.

54
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Rybman has never been beaten by the Giants. He has won three and lost none. His 1965 record in the major leagues, one win and three losses.

55
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000
And at one-one the pitch to Fuentes is called strike two.

56
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Dennis credits his success this year to the fact that he has learned to move the ball in and out rather than up and down.

57
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:13,000
And he tries to work low all the time. And he will be the first Mets pitcher to ever win more than 10 games and end the season with a winning record.

58
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:27,000
One-two pitch is lined out toward short, cut off by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>. He goes over to first base, not in time, a face-off.

59
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:35,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> going back to second base, came up with the ball and then fired to first base but missed his man by just a fraction of a step.

60
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:49,000
So the first hit of the ball game, the first basemanter, as the leadoff batter for the Giants, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tito-fuentes/>Tito Fuentes</a>, beats out the hit and brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a>.

61
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Henderson, a left hand batter against right hand pitching. He has an average of 313 with no home runs and no runs batted in.

62
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Henderson has been at bat 16 times with five hits. One of the hits, a two-base hit, another a triple.

63
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Fuentes with a short lead at first, now moving up. And the first pitch to Henderson is outside for a ball.

64
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Mets have Eddie Crane pool at first base, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> at second base, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> at short, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> at third. The catcher is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hawk-taylor/>Hawk Taylor</a>.

65
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Ryvon throws to first base, Fuentes back ahead of the tag. In the outfield, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a> in left field, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> in center field, and now Lupo on right.

66
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Now the pitch, hit out toward the third base side of home plate in foul territory.

67
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Ball dribbled out and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hawk-taylor/>Hawk Taylor</a> bouncing out to try and get the ball in fair territory but it never got back in.

68
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Counted one ball and one strike.

69
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,000
The Giants have played 24 games on Saturdays this year and they have won eight and lost 16.

70
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Their worst record throughout any of the days in the week.

71
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
So seldom on Saturdays.

72
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Now the 1-1 pitch, swung on and missed at strike two.

73
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,000
On deck, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a>.

74
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Ryvon checks out his outfield, now turns back to home plate to take the signs from his catcher.

75
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Mets have their infield shortened up against Henderson.

76
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
And the next delivery is grounded out to second, a tough chance for two.

77
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Hiller goes to the shortstop at second base for the fourth play there but no throw on to first base.

78
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
And the Mets pick up their first out.

79
00:12:48,000 --> 00:13:04,000
And that brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a>.

80
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:12,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a>, hitting 293 with 34 home runs and 94 runs batted in.

81
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Willie straddling the plate and as he moved his bat back he hit Octator's grub.

82
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Of course if he did that swinging it would be a catcher's bot.

83
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000
With the ball thrown for the pitcher, down ball to second, a good chance for two.

84
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
The ball is kicked by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> and picked up by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>.

85
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,000
He steps on the bag at second base for the fourth play and then throws on the first and he almost picked up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a>.

86
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> had an easy chance for a double play and couldn't find the ball.

87
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
He bobbled the ball and then when it went down to the ground he kicked it.

88
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Unfortunately for the Mets he kicked it right towards <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>.

89
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:54,000
He picked it up about two steps from the bag, stepped on the bag and fired on to first base.

90
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:01,000
So a chance for two missed but then a good play to be lucky enough to come up with a fourth play for the second out of the inning.

91
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Now the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a>.

92
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Willie batting 296 with 30 home runs and 83 runs batted in.

93
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Mays draws the throw at first base, gets back safely.

94
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Now another one and Mays has to sort of fall down to get back as he was trying to move off the bag.

95
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000
And the pitch of the plate is outside and it's called a ball.

96
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:35,000
On the pitch <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> was stepping out of the batter's box but time was not called by Harry Wendelstadt.

97
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:42,000
If Dennis Ryburn had been able to get the ball in the strike zone he would have had an easy strike.

98
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Now Dennis sets up again and throws the first base again and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> just gets back.

99
00:14:49,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Ball is dropped by Craneball and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> picked it up and handed it to him.

100
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Willie has stolen five bases this year, had one last night.

101
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
The next pitch to the plate is outside, it's ball two.

102
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000
McCovey had a tremendous home run last night that was aided by the jet stream that was blowing out toward right field.

103
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
The ball went over the bleacher area, traveled somewhere around 500 feet.

104
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:25,000
The wind was blowing about 35 to 40 miles an hour at times last night with fog ripping down throughout the game.

105
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Right here though with the fog gone the temperature is 71 degrees.

106
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000
The 2-0 pitch is taken outside and low on it's ball three.

107
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:41,000
The linemen pitching carefully to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> at first base falls behind three balls and no strikes.

108
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a> a right hand batter is on deck.

109
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:52,000
No score in the ball game, two men out in the bottom half of the first.

110
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:04,000
And then the 3-0 pitch is over the outside corner, knee high, a called strike, three balls and one strike.

111
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Mets have <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> at shortstop almost behind the bag at second as they have shifted around on McCovey.

112
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Now again a throw to first and Mays back easily.

113
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Willie has not taken a big lead.

114
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:27,000
He's running on the 3-1 pitch but it is outside ball four so Mays goes down to second base as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> draws the walk.

115
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:40,000
That will bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a>.

116
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
And giving the starting lineup at the start of the ball game Mays draws another throw at second base.

117
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000
This time as Jack Killer comes over to cover gets back safely.

118
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,000
We gave a lineup that had Davenport batting in the seventh position just before the ball game.

119
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,000
A lineup for a change and he has been moved into the fifth position.

120
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000
So to correct the lineup here's the first pitch to Davenport outside at ball one.

121
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Change <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a> to the fifth batter and put Jesusalu who was batting fifth into the sixth position.

122
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:21,000
That drops Tom Howler on down to the seventh position.

123
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Next pitch to the plate is Low and they got two balls and no strikes.

124
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Davenport batting 242.

125
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Nine home runs and 29 runs batted in.

126
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Back at the start of the season he hit a home run in the 17th inning to beat the Mets in their very first game with a job.

127
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Now the next delivery outside at ball three.

128
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Davenport driving now running into difficulties.

129
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
And the next pitch to the plate is a strike.

130
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000
So they count three balls and one strike on Davenport.

131
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
No score in the ball game but the Giants threatening here in the bottom half of the first.

132
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Runners at first and second.

133
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Three one pitch with the runners going it's swung on and foul tipped.

134
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000
And it's strike two and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> who had a good jump.

135
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
And then it goes on back to second base and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> behind him back to first.

136
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000
The ball had been missed.

137
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Mays and McCovey would have moved in into second and third on a double steal.

138
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000
And Rybham before pitching to the plate moves the runners back by stepping off the mound.

139
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:35,000
And his next pitch to the plate and the runners going to call strike three and Davenport doesn't like the call.

140
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:44,000
That strikeout retired the side the first one in the ball game for Dennis Rybham and it was a big one on the three two pitch.

141
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000
No runs one hit no errors a walk and two men left off.

142
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:58,000
And the score at the end of one the Mets nothing the Giants nothing.

143
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:06,000
The teams changed positions now with the Giants going out the Mets coming up for the second time and removed to the top of the second.

144
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,000
First man up for the Mets is Al Luco and the first pitch by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> is called a strike.

145
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
In that Philly Houston game <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rick-wise/>Rick Wise</a> started for the Phillies.

146
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Now pitching is Morse in place of Rovannick who also was in the ball game.

147
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/norm-miller/>Norm Miller</a> home run the third with two on.

148
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Larry Dirkert pitching for the Astros.

149
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Now the next delivery to the plate called a ball. It's one ball and one strike.

150
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
No score on this ball game.

151
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Let's go on to play a doubleheader in Houston tomorrow.

152
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
First game will be televised.

153
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Both games of course on radio.

154
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Doug McGraw and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/nolan-ryan/>Nolan Ryan</a> pitching for the Mets.

155
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000
A hard swing by Luco and it's strike two.

156
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000
One ball and two strikes.

157
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Game time tomorrow will be at three twenty five New York time.

158
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Dave Justy and Bob Rusla to schedule pitches for the Astros.

159
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Now an overhand curve flung on a miss strike three.

160
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Marichal picks up his first strikeout.

161
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Say youth opportunity depends on education.

162
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
The more you learn, the more you'll learn.

163
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
So stay in school and prepare yourself for a really good job.

164
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,000
You'll be glad you did.

165
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Now the batter is Eddie Craneball. Eddie batting two forty four with fifteen home runs and fifty four runs better than.

166
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000
He leads the club in home runs with his fifteen and he swings and fouls the first pitch down in the dirt.

167
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
It's strike one.

168
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
No score on the ball game. The Mets against the Johns.

169
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000
And one Marichal with his one strike delivery this time missing long away.

170
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Count Evans out. It's one ball and one strike.

171
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Final score. Boston beat the Angels three to one.

172
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,000
The winning pitcher was <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-bennett/>Dennis Bennett</a> with help from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-wyatt/>John Wyatt</a>.

173
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000
The losing pitcher was George Brunette.

174
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-thomas/>George Thomas</a>, Yastremski and Rodgers home run. All with no one on.

175
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Now the next delivering overhand curve that's hit out into right field for a base hit.

176
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Eddie Craneball goes to first base and holds there and the Mets get their first base hit in the ball game.

177
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000
That'll bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a>.

178
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:21,000
One point one seven two. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a>.

179
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Cleon hitting two seventy seven with eight home runs and fifty one runs better than.

180
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Right hand better. Both sides with a base hit now.

181
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000
One hot in the top of the second.

182
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:42,000
And the first pitch to Jones is a high fly ball hit back of first base coming in from his right field position.

183
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a> and he makes the catch and foul territory.

184
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Craneball stays at first base.

185
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:56,000
And now the Giants have two Mets put away with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a> coming up for the Mets.

186
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Number twenty four on the left of the field is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a>.

187
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Johnny has been a bat a hundred and fifty four times with thirty one hits.

188
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
That puts his average at two oh one.

189
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Five home runs and nineteen runs batted in.

190
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000
And he swings at the first pitch an overhand curve ball at strike one.

191
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
No score in the ball game. Two men out in the top of the second.

192
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> against Dennis Riven.

193
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,000
One strike delivery is swung on a miss at strike two. That time a fastball.

194
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Craneball at first and the two strike pitch swung on a miss to retire the side.

195
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Two strikeouts in the inning for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> his first and second in the ball game.

196
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000
No runs one hit no errors and one man left on.

197
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,000
And the score at the end of one and a half innings the Mets nothing the Giants nothing.

198
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Sage you ever stop to think of how many lonesome travelers there are here in yonder and just how thirsty they get.

199
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Well I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I've been a traveling on.

200
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
I travel here and then I travel.

201
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:21,000
From California to New York the American folk singer travels here and yonder carrying with him the music of the whole world and its peoples.

202
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:31,000
And sometimes when the traveling gets thirsty he puts down his guitar and accompanies himself with a cold beer maybe Rheingold.

203
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:41,000
And in New York City where more songs and travelers stop than anywhere else in the world more people buy Rheingold extra dry than any other beer.

204
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:50,000
How come? Maybe it's the Oregon Hops we use. Who knows? But we must be doing something right.

205
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Traveling on.

206
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Going to the bottom half of the second inning Dennis Riven pitching for the Mets.

207
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:03,000
No score in the ball game and the Giants coming up with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jesus-alou/>Jesus Alou</a>.

208
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Jesus batting for the first time is batting 238th here with 25 home runs and 59 runs batted in.

209
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
He'll be followed by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-haller/>Tom Haller</a> and then <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-lanier/>Hal Lanier</a>.

210
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Riven all set to go and the first pitch is a change up that's too low it's ball one.

211
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:25,000
In the first inning first man up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tito-fuentes/>Tito Fuentes</a> beat out a base hit to deep short.

212
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Back of second base.

213
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,000
On the shortstop side Henderson forced him at second base.

214
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> forced Henderson to second base.

215
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
There's a base hit to right field by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jesus-alou/>Jesus Alou</a>.

216
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:44,000
He goes to first base and holds there as Aloukpo takes the drive on one hop and throws on in.

217
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
After <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> had walks Mays going down to second.

218
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Dennis Riven struck out <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a> on a 3-2-6.

219
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Now the second hit for the Giants in the ball game and for the second time in two innings they have their lead batter on at first base.

220
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000
And coming up for the Giants is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-haller/>Tom Haller</a>.

221
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
There's a ground ball down to second base.

222
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Chuck Killer has it goes over to the shortstop covering at second base.

223
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> takes the throw and gets out of the way as Alou slides into him.

224
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000
But the fourth play is called at second base with no throw on the first.

225
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Haller before hitting into the fourth play with 25 home runs and 59 runs batted in batting 238.

226
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,000
I believe he gave <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jesus-alou/>Jesus Alou</a> a home run.

227
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Incorrectly he's had one home run and 18 runs batted in with a 261 average.

228
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Now the batter is the second baseman Haller there.

229
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,000
No score in the game.

230
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000
One man out, bottom half of the second.

231
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,000
A nearer right hand batter and a pitch back to play and grouped into center field strongly.

232
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Leigh-Anne Jones moves in.

233
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,000
And he makes the catch for the second out of the inning.

234
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Haller back to first base and it brings up Warren Maritow.

235
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Warren hitting 242. He's been at bat 99 previous times with 24 hits.

236
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Four of them doubles and he has driven in 11 runs.

237
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:25,000
You cannot take him too lightly.

238
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,000
No score in the game.

239
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Two men out, bottom half of the second.

240
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000
And the first pitch to Maritow has swung on a miss.

241
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Low curve ball and Warren fooled completely.

242
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
At the end of one.

243
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:45,000
The Pirates after scoring a run in the first inning off of Joe Mueller are tied up by the Dodgers as they score a run off Tommy Siss.

244
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,000
So it's a 1-1 game going to the top of the second.

245
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Now the one strike pitch just outside, ball one.

246
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000
One ball, one strike.

247
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:10,000
We'll have all the scores all the way around the national and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1966/overview/>American League</a> at the end of this inning.

248
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Another football final. Michigan State 28, North Carolina State 10.

249
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:32,000
They've been taking a lot of time right now before getting set to pitch again to Warren Maritow.

250
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:41,000
And the second baser on fire, Ed Vargo, turns it around and tries to speed up the ball game.

251
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Now he's set. And the 1-1 pitch, a change up top foul back home plate out of play.

252
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:58,000
So Dennis has a count his way, one ball and two strikes.

253
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:13,000
The Mets and Giants had a tremendous year at J Stadium drawing 399,166 paid customers.

254
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Now a swing and a miss at strike three. Warren Maritow struck out to retire the side.

255
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,000
No runs, one hit. No errors, one man left on.

256
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:33,000
And the score at the end of two, the Giants nothing, the Mets nothing.

257
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:39,000
In other games in the national and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1966/overview/>American League</a> going to the bottom half of the ninth inning,

258
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:46,000
the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1966/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a> leading Chicago by a score of 6-4.

259
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Wodershek now pitching for the Cardinals. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dick-hughes/>Dick Hughes</a> was the starting pitcher.

260
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-holtzman/>Ken Holtzman</a> the starting pitcher for Chicago and Henley in the ball game in the eighth inning.

261
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Now it's Warren Maritow to start off here in the top of the third.

262
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
And his first pitch is a sidearm pitch that's called a strike.

263
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:12,000
The batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hawk-taylor/>Hawk Taylor</a>, Hawk batting 189 with three home runs and 11 runs batted in.

264
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,000
It was his single last night in the ninth inning to put the Mets back in the ball game.

265
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,000
And now he drives one to the left. Azeusa Lou comes in, misjudged the ball and one-hands it

266
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000
as he kept it from going for a double.

267
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Line shot to left field, Azeusa Lou coming in, almost ran under.

268
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:47,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hawk-taylor/>Hawk Taylor</a> going down for the first out here in the top of the third and that brings up Dennis Rivett.

269
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Rivett has a 172 average with 10 hits and 58 times up.

270
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,000
And he takes the first pitch, it's called a strike.

271
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Now the umpire is shaking his head. So it is not a strike but it's called a ball.

272
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Warren Maritow questioning the call and getting the head shake for the fact that it was not a strike but a ball.

273
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Now upon attempt and the ball hit off to the foul side, it's one ball and one strike.

274
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:30,000
In the St. Louis Chicago game, Phillips has hit a homer in the ninth inning with no one on for the Cubs.

275
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:40,000
The Cubs now training by one as they bat in the bottom half of the ninth.

276
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,000
One ball, one strike, Maritow back again to Rivett.

277
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000
The pitch is lined through the hole between third and short of base hit.

278
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Rivett rounds his first base going down the line in a hurry and then holds there as the throw comes in from Hey-Tsu-Salu.

279
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,000
So the Mets have their second hit against the Giants. It's all even to two of base with no score.

280
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:11,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> comes up for the second time.

281
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Bud Grunner down to second base his first time up.

282
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:23,000
It went off the handle that was sort of a slowly hit line drive and the second base from Lanier had an easy play at first running.

283
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,000
First pitch going this time is Bunn and Fowl at strike one.

284
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Bud was bunning for a base hit not to sacrifice.

285
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
One out in the top of the third.

286
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Davenport defends against him at third base about 80 feet away near the line.

287
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Next pitch is Bunn and Fowl again. Strike two.

288
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Bud in last nice ball game showed some muscle. He had two triples. He's had three since he came up from Jacksonville.

289
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,000
One was to right center, the other to left center.

290
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:08,000
He has good speed and he pops one into shallow center going back into a position back of second base is Cito Puente and he makes the catch.

291
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Puente was looking as though he might drop the ball but there would be no advantage there.

292
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:24,000
He had then a chance to make a fourth play which would leave Harrelson a very fast man on.

293
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Now the batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a>.

294
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Chuck pops the short his first time up and he takes the first pitch outside at the ball.

295
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Marichal back again and the curveball is grounded out toward short.

296
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:55,000
A tough play for Puente as his quick throw to first base is not in time.

297
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:03,000
A tough play at second base as the second baseman, Howell Nehrer, was playing over towards the first base side at second.

298
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:15,000
And Dennis Ribant beat him to second base so Puente's had no other choice as he took that ball that was hit out toward the deep part of the shortstop side and threw over to first base but not in time.

299
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Well the Mets have runners at first and second the first time they've had two on in this ball game.

300
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,000
And the batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> who flat out to the left field his first time up.

301
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Boyer brought a nine game hitting streak into this ball game.

302
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:34,000
And one Marichal with the first pitch and Boyer takes it over the outside corner for a called strike.

303
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Cubs fell short as they got a run in the ninth and the Cardinals beat Chicago 65.

304
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Winning pitcher was Dennis in relief.

305
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
The losing pitcher was Holtzman.

306
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Shannon and Phillips home run.

307
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Now it's swinging at an overhand curve at strike two.

308
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Houston leads Philadelphia by a score of nine to two after four and a half innings.

309
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:15,000
And the next pitch is called strike three. That retires the side.

310
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,000
In the inning no runs, two hits, no errors and two men left on.

311
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:25,000
The strikeout for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> his third.

312
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
And the score at the end of two and a half innings.

313
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
The Mets nothing.

314
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,000
The San Francisco Jazz nothing.

315
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Here are the words from Reingold.

316
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Yes, we must be doing something right.

317
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:42,000
We must be doing something right.

318
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Bottom half of the third inning of a scoreless ballgame, Dennis Rybun and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> hooking up here in the pitcher's duel.

319
00:35:48,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Say the Brewers of Reingold beer are pleased to announce the Brass on the Grass, a free concert by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass in the Central Park Sheet Metal, Central Park West and 66th Street on Wednesday, September 21st at 8 o'clock.

320
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:10,000
But better come early because there's really going to be something doing, right?

321
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Marichal out in the top of the second. They did not score.

322
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Dodgers coming up with the score tied at one to one.

323
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Tommy Sisk against Joe Mueller in that ballgame.

324
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Nido Fuentes, the first batter up for the Giants.

325
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Nido the leadoff batter for the Giants.

326
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Singles his first time up an infield hit to shortstop.

327
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Final score, Boston beat California three to one.

328
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,000
White Sox beat Baltimore three to one.

329
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Cleveland beat Detroit six to two.

330
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Yankees are batting in the bottom half of the ninth inning off Jim Cutts.

331
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:59,000
They went into the inning trailing by a score of four to one, but Pepitone has shortened that lead to four to two with a home run.

332
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000
It's 31st with no one on.

333
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Now the first pitch by Dennis Ryman here in the bottom half of the third and it's ball one.

334
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Ryman has given up no runs, allowed two hits.

335
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:17,000
He has struck out two and walked one.

336
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Next delivery is hit hard down to short.

337
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Harrelson has it in one hop moving to his left.

338
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,000
This sort of first base is in plenty of time for the out.

339
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Ball was well hit, but Harrelson cut it off.

340
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Now the batter coming up is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a> and Will Foss for station identification.

341
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,000
This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> baseball network.

342
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000
This is WG Weiss connected to the 810 on your radio dial.

343
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
You're stationed for all Mets games.

344
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Dennis Ryman with his first pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a> and it's taken outside.

345
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,000
It's ball one.

346
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ralph-kiner/>Ralph Kiner</a> along with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/candlestick-park-i/>Candlestick Park</a> in San Francisco, California.

347
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:58,000
The smallest ball game with one out in the bottom half of the third.

348
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
Ryman back again and this time he gets a strike.

349
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
One ball, one strike.

350
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Henderson hit into a fourth play his first time up, grounding down to short.

351
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Average dropping from 313 to 294 with his one time at bat.

352
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,000
He's been up 17 times with five hits.

353
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Next pitch grounded out towards first base.

354
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Eddie Cranebould decides to take the play at first base by himself and makes it there unassisted for the out.

355
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Two men out and now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> comes up.

356
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Now down to 24, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a>.

357
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Willie hit into a fourth play his first time up.

358
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Hit the ball hard down to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> and Chuck had a good shot at a double play but booted the ball

359
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:56,000
and then actually booted it with his foot over to the shortstop.

360
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> not on purpose.

361
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Bud got the ball and stepped on the back.

362
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,000
First pitch is a breaking pitch over the outside corner, a called strike.

363
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Mays hitting 293 this year with 34 home runs and 94 runs batted in.

364
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Now the one strike delivery taken at the knees and it's called strike two.

365
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000
The Mets can win this ball game here today.

366
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:25,000
It will be the first time in their history and they're in their fifth year that they have ever won a series from another team.

367
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Mets have won nine of the 17 games played and if they could win today that would give them their tenth win

368
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:36,000
and a victory in the series for the season for the first time over any club.

369
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,000
A check and a swing and a foul ball.

370
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Actually the ball was not fouled as Hot Taylor came back.

371
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:49,000
The ball was just not caught by Taylor and the count goes to one and two.

372
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,000
One ball, two strikes.

373
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:58,000
The Mets have a chance of course against other teams to come up with a winning season record.

374
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:07,000
They are nine and seven against Chicago with two games to play and they are nine and

375
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,000
they are eight and three with Houston with eight games to play.

376
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,000
A high drive to deep center field but the wind's holding the ball up.

377
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Back in the warning track is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> and he really had trouble with the sun but he made the play to retire the side.

378
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:31,000
The last minute <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> made the catch as he spun away as that ball was in the sun but he found it and made the play on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a>.

379
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:38,000
So with an eight from the wind blowing in from left center field the Mets get <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> out and retire the side in order.

380
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,000
And the score at the end of three, the Mets nothing, the Giants nothing.

381
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:54,000
That's Bugles and Drums and you'll hear that each evening Monday through Friday at 5.45 on WGY when I bring you Spotlight on Sports.

382
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:00,000

Monday through Friday at 6.15 horse racing fans will like Howard Tupper's track talk.

387

389
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Now in the fourth inning Al Luplo will lead off against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>.

390
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:56,000
At the end of two innings at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a> the Pirates won, the Dodgers won.

391
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Right-hander Tommy Sisk with a record of 10-3, pitching against Joe Mueller 2-3.

392
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Al Luplo's second time up. Marichal struck him out in the second.

393
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:29,000
The Dominican Dandy swings out of his windup. The pitch, a high pop foul that's playable, Tom Hader near the plate in foul territory, takes it for the off.

394
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,000
One away and nobody on, that brings up Eddie Cranepool.

395
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:41,000
In college football Colgate defeated Boston University 34-0.

396
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Now Eddie Cranepool, Eddie has been up once and single to right field.

397
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Breeze now has freshened up and is very much indeed a factor in the ball game.

398
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Marichal winds the pitch on the way, a little bit low on outside, one ball and no strikes.

399
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:10,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/yogi-berra/>Yogi Berra</a> coaching at first, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/whitey-herzog/>Whitey Herzog</a> at third.

400
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:17,000
May is shaded toward right center against Eddie Cranepool.

401
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Breaking ball at the knees, it's a strike, one ball, one strike.

402
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Following today's game, the Mets fly to Houston.

403
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Doubleheader tomorrow with the Astros will be on with our broadcast at 3.25 p.m. New York time.

404
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Outside and low with a screwball, two balls and a strike on Ed Cranepool.

405
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:46,000
We're anxious to see 19-year-old <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/nolan-ryan/>Nolan Ryan</a> against the Astros tomorrow as well as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tug-mcgraw/>Tug McGraw</a>.

406
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,000
The Astros seem to be getting hot.

407
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:53,000
They beat the Phillies last night, Harrison hit a grand slam home run.

408
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Bounced foul, it's two and two.

409
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,000
And they are walloping Philadelphia this afternoon.

410
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:03,000
They lead the Phillies 10-2 at the end of five.

411
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:14,000
The Cardinals won today. When the day is over, it appears St. Louis will be just a half game behind Philadelphia.

412
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Ground ball hit toward the middle.

413
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:23,000
Fuente's up with it behind second. Rose not in time and Cranepool is on.

414
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Tito Fuente is making a beautiful play going in behind second base.

415
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,000
He was actually a stride over on the right side of the diamond when he came up with the grounder

416
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,000
and whipped the ball quickly to stretch McCovey but not in time.

417
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:41,000
For the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a>, their fourth base hit.

418
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Tito Eddie Cranepool is two for two and it brings up the on-jump.

419
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Double checking on the standings as Houston beats Philadelphia.

420
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Ground ball bounced short by Cleon.

421
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:10,000
Fuente throws the second for one, on to first not in time and Cleon reaches on the fourth play.

422
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:15,000
St. Louis has won and if Philadelphia loses they'll be in a flat-footed tie for fourth place.

423
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Each will have won 79 and lost 70.

424
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a> up against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>. No score top of the fourth inning.

425
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Speedy <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> on first base two men down.

426
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:45,000
There goes Cleon, a swing and a miss, the peg by Haller the slide, safe, he stole the base.

427
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:55,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> getting his 15th stolen base of the year and Cleon has been caught only five times all year.

428
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Cleon has the new Mets club record for stolen bases in a season.

429
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:08,000
A modest record but nonetheless a mark of progress.

430
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Now a one-strike count on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a>.

431
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Here's the pitch by Marichal, a swing and a miss, strike two.

432
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:26,000
It's all over at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/yankee-stadium/>Yankee Stadium</a>. Joe Pepitone-Homer to the last of the ninth is 31st of the year.

433
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,000
The Yankees fell two runs shy, the twins winning it four to two.

434
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Jim Cot winning his 24th of the year to tie <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sandy-koufax/>Sandy Koufax</a> for most victories to major leagues.

435
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:42,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-downing/>Al Downing</a> was the loser.

436
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Now pick off the Compton second and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> just gets back.

437
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:57,000
What a move that was by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>. He looked like a ballet dancer out there.

438
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:02,000
Pretty close to a balk I would say.

439
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Two-strike pitch outside and low, one ball and two strikes.

440
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:14,000
In the third inning at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a>, Willie Starjel is at a home runoff, Joe Mueller with a base is clear.

441
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:21,000
It's Pittsburgh two, the Dodgers one with a Parrots betting in the top of the third inning.

442
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:26,000
A ground ball foul right down to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/whitey-herzog/>Whitey Herzog</a>.

443
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Everything is over in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1966/overview/>American League</a> now.

444
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:35,000
The twins defeated the Yankees four to two. Jim Cot winning his 24th.

445
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:41,000
The Red Sox down the Angels three to one on the combined five-hit pitching of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-bennett/>Dennis Bennett</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-wyatt/>John Wyatt</a>.

446
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Wyatt relieved in the eighth inning.

447
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:48,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-thomas/>George Thomas</a> and Carl Yostemsky homered for Boston. Bob Rogers for the Angels.

448
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:54,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-john/>Tommy John</a> went all the way as the White Sox beat the league-leading Orioles three to one. Palmer the loser.

449
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Robert Robinson the Major League leader at number 45.

450
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-adair/>Jerry Adair</a> beat his old teammates with a three-run homer.

451
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,000
And Cleveland beat Detroit six to two, Hargan the winner.

452
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:09,000
So the magic number now for the Orioles is six.

453
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:20,000
One ball and two strikes to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a>.

454
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Al Marichal checks the runner down against the pitch.

455
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:37,000
A high foul ball, wafted back into the crowd, no play.

456
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:43,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-taylor/>Bob Taylor</a> kneeling in the on-deck circle.

457
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> no runs, four hits and no errors.

458
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,000
The Giants no runs, two hits and no errors.

459
00:48:49,000 --> 00:49:01,000
We're in the top of the fourth inning.

460
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Outfield rather deep and around toward right.

461
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Now Wands one-two delivery is low and outside.

462
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:15,000
He missed with a screwball and the count is even at two and two.

463
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,000
The Mets can win today.

464
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:32,000
It will be the first time in their history they have taken a season series.

465
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,000
The two-two pitch, a swing and a miss, he's ready now.

466
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,000
Al Marichal his fourth strikeout.

467
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Mets are out on the fourth inning with no runs, one hit, no errors, one left.

468
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:52,000
At the end of three and a half, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> nothing and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1966/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a> nothing.

469
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Hear that? Guess who it is.

470
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:02,000
It's an American citizen dancing for joy about the new higher interest rates on United States savings bonds.

471
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:11,000
Now U.S. savings bonds earn 4.15 percent interest when held to maturity, over 4 percent return on savings bonds.

472
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Sounds great doesn't it?

473
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Well it's true.

474
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Your money couldn't be safer if the FBI patrolled it day and night.

475
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:24,000
And yet bonds bring you 4.15 percent in return.

476
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:32,000
The new higher interest rates apply to new bonds you buy or to those you now hold for their remaining period to maturity.

477
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Get in step.

478
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:38,000
Buy U.S. savings bonds where you work or where you bank.

479
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,000
They're safe.

480
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:43,000
They pay over 4 percent interest and...

481
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Music

482
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Last half of the fourth inning.

483
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> is up against Dennis Ryback.

484
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,000
McCovey reached on a walk his first time up.

485
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Here's the pitch by Denny.

486
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
A drive well hit to right field.

487
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,000
It goes low. It's going down a home run.

488
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Music

489
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,000
For <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a>, his 31st home run of the year.

490
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:29,000
A line drive over the essential 375 mark in right center field.

491
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Music

492
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:44,000
Giant's lead, 1-0 and the batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a>.

493
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Davenport is 0 for 1. He was called out on strikes his first time up.

494
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Now the pitch by Dennis Ryback. It's a strike on the inside corner.

495
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:02,000
McCovey is a dangerous hitter anywhere, but in this ballpark he is really dynamite.

496
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,000
Music

497
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Pop tie in the air to shallow right field.

498
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Loop low charging in. Flows up. He's under it and Al makes the grab at retiring Davenport.

499
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Music

500
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:23,000
One out and nobody on and the batter coming up now is Haysun Salud.

501
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:30,000
In college football this afternoon, the Michigan Wolverines defeated Oregon State 41-0.

502
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:42,000
It was Army 21, Kansas State 6. Navy 27, Boston College 7.

503
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Haysun Salud lined a single to right field his previous time at bat.

504
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Line drive to center of a hit by Lou.

505
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Leon Jones, Gallup Silver picks it up.

506
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:05,000
A Lou takes the turn and he's on with a single to center.

507
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Haysun did not hit the first half of the year, but certainly has picked up the second half of the year.

508
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,000
He has his average now up to 263.

509
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,000
And his two brothers, Matty and Philippe, well they've been something else.

510
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:24,000
They're 1-2 of the Nashville Lig and Batting.

511
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Philippe leads the Major Leagues in base hits. He has 210 hits.

512
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:37,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-haller/>Tom Haller</a>up and a foul ball back to it are broadcasting. Booth out of play.

513
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Matty Olu, the middle brother, leading the Nashville Lig and Batting.

514
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:55,000
He has a fairly substantial lead at the moment over his brother, Philippe.

515
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Now Dennis Ryband lobs the ball over to first base.

516
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-lanier/>Hal Lanier</a> is the on deck batter.

517
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:12,000
The Giants have gone in front 1-0 on the home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a>.

518
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Misses the outside corner, one ball, one strike.

519
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:36,000
Leon Jones playing a deep center field and shades toward right center against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-haller/>Tom Haller</a>.

520
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:44,000
Haller reached on a fourth play, his first down at bat, and a pitch out but nothing was on.

521
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Two balls and a strike.

522
00:54:47,000 --> 00:55:03,000
Ryband has good control. You can pitch out with Dennis without too many worries.

523
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:08,000
A high pop fly that's playable behind third.

524
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:15,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> is waved off by Harrelson and Bud makes the catch in fair territory.

525
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,000
Two men away, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-lanier/>Hal Lanier</a>, the second baseman, comes up.

526
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:24,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-stargell/>Willie Stargell</a>'s home run at the third off Joe Mueller, the only run in the inning.

527
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Now at the end of two and a half, it's Pittsburgh 2, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1966/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a> 1.

528
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:43,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-lanier/>Hal Lanier</a> hit the ball hard his first time up, a line drive to center that was caught by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a>.

529
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,000
Ryband off the stretch.

530
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,000
A line drive into right center field is going to be in for a base hit,

531
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:54,000
a big little hop by Luplo and racing around the third goes Jesus Salute.

532
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
The Giants have runners on first and third.

533
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:06,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> will be coming up.

534
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Giants have three hits off Dennis Ryband here on the fourth.

535
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:14,000
They lead 1-0 and now with runners on first and third, the hitter is Marichal.

536
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,000
Good hitter.

537
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:21,000
Juan has had 24 hits this year and he's knocked 11 runs in.

538
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:26,000
Impressive figures for a pitcher.

539
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Marichal with that back foot planted right on the restraining line.

540
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Wide batting stance.

541
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,000
Down comes the pitch.

542
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,000
A ground ball hit deep in the hole, backhand play can't be made.

543
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:57,000
A Luplo's in the score, racing around the third base, Lewis <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-lanier/>Hal Lanier</a> and he's in there facing.

544
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:04,000
Giants lead 2-0 as Marichal behind on the count to Ryband delivers a run scoring hit on a ground ball

545
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,000
hit deep in the hole just beyond the reach.

546
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:15,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>, Bud tried to make the backhand play deep in the hole and now he had any chance at all of throwing him out.

547
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,000
And now Tito Twenteas comes up.

548
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,000
Giants now have two runs on four hits off Dennis here on the fourth inning.

549
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:37,000
Twenteas has one for two, he reached on an infield hit in the first.

550
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Swing and a miss, strike one.

551
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:46,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-hepler/>Bill Hepler</a>, a left-hander, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a>, right-hander, are now warming up in the Mets bullpen.

552
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:53,000
Now Twenteas wants the ball looked over by Harry Wendelstedt.

553
00:57:53,000 --> 00:58:09,000
That RBI for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> is 12th of the year.

554
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:14,000
Now the pitcher on the way, a sidearm delivery, a swing and a miss, strike two.

555
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:21,000
Dennis really had a lot on that one.

556
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a> was the winning pitcher in last night's game.

557
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,000
Darrell worked two-thirds of one inning.

558
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:31,000
He worked in the last half of the eighth inning and the Mets got three in the ninth.

559
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Now Ryban in the set position.

560
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,000
A cross-fire delivery, a swing and a miss, he struck him out.

561
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Ryban fans Tito Twenteas for his third strikeout and the side is retired.

562
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Two runs, four hits, no errors, two left-ons.

563
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,000
Now four innings complete.

564
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,000
The Giants two runs, six hits, no errors.

565
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:57,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> no runs, four hits, and no errors.

566
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:03,000
Tomorrow at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/shea-stadium/>Shea Stadium</a>, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-jets/1966/overview/>New York Jets</a> open the home season in the American Football League

567
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:09,000
as they host the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/tennessee-titans/1966/overview/>Houston Oilers</a>, one of the top contenders in the Eastern Division.

568
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:14,000
A duel between <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-namath/>Joe Namath</a>, rookie of the year of the AFL last season,

569
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,000
and the old pro <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-blanda/>George Blanda</a> now in his 17th year.

570
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:25,000
We want to extend our best wishes to head coach Wade Bubank, his staff and his ball club

571
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,000
as they open their home season.

572
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:34,000
By the way, if you have a ticket if you're going to be at Shea tomorrow for the home opener of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-jets/1966/overview/>New York Jets</a>,

573
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:40,000
stop by the advance sale window and make your plans for the final five home games of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

574
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:46,000
And last home stand starting a week from Tuesday night, September 27th.

575
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:51,000
The Cubs are in for a night game on Tuesday, a day game on Wednesday the 28th.

576
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Then the final weekend against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/houston-astros/1966/overview/>Houston Astros</a> with the final day being two weeks from tomorrow,

577
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:04,000
October 2nd, fan appreciation day game with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/houston-astros/1966/overview/>Houston Astros</a>.

578
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:11,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-taylor/>Bob Taylor</a> is up against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> as we move to the fifth inning.

579
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:19,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/houston-astros/1966/overview/>Houston Astros</a> are leading the Philadelphia Phil's 10 to 2 at the end of 6 and a half innings.

580
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Outside in Lowes, ball won.

581
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:28,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1966/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a> defeated the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-cubs/1966/overview/>Chicago Cubs</a> 6 to 5.

582
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:35,000
So the Cardinals will probably be tied for fourth place when this day is over.

583
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Ground ball hit down to third, handled deep behind the bag by Davenport.

584
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:48,000
The throw in the dirt and up with it is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> in time for the off.

585
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,000
All right, here we pause for station identification.

586
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,000
This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> baseball network.

587
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:08,000
This is WGY, your <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> stations connected.

588
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:13,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> with Ralph Keiner and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/candlestick-park-i/>Candlestick Park</a> in San Francisco.

589
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:17,000
And the pitcher, Dariabat, gets the outside corner for a strike.

590
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Now low and outside, one ball, one strike.

591
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,000
Dennis Singel to left field in the third inning.

592
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:32,000
He has one of the four hits off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>.

593
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:38,000
A 1-1 pitch, a swing and a miss and a curve ball, 1 and 2.

594
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:46,000
Marichal has four shutouts this year, an earned run average of 2.05.

595
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:51,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sandy-koufax/>Sandy Koufax</a> leads the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1966/overview/>National League</a> with a 1.7 ERA.

596
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,000
Now the 1-2 delivery.

597
01:01:53,000 --> 01:02:00,000
Sidearm delivery, outside is 2 and 2.

598
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:04,000
Marichal is really something.

599
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,000
There's a better right-hand pitcher in baseball.

600
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,000
I don't know who he is.

601
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,000
Pitching 2 and 2, a swing and a miss.

602
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,000
He's struck him out.

603
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:23,000
That's number five for Marichal.

604
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:27,000
He now has 194 strikeouts.

605
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:34,000
The only <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1966/overview/>National League</a> pitchers over 200, I believe, at the moment are <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sandy-koufax/>Sandy Koufax</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bunning/>Jim Bunning</a>.

606
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:38,000
Sandy way out in front of the major leagues in strikeouts.

607
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:47,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> is up against Marichal and the pitch is low inside, ball one.

608
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:51,000
The winningest pitchers in the major leagues are <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sandy-koufax/>Sandy Koufax</a> and Minnesota's Jim Cot.

609
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,000
They've both won 24.

610
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,000
Zipped right in there for a call strike to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>.

611
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,000
One ball, one strike.

612
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,000
Juan was going great guns.

613
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:10,000
It looked like he might come close to 30 and then a couple of injuries slowed him up.

614
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:22,000
And the fastball in the outside corner is strike one ball and two strikes.

615
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Both <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bunning/>Jim Bunning</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chris-short/>Chris Short</a> of the Phillies have a chance to wind up as 20-game winners.

616
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:35,000
Foul ball coming back, no play.

617
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:41,000
Right now there are four 20-game winners of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1966/overview/>National League</a> and one of the Americans.

618
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:47,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/sandy-koufax/>Sandy Koufax</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gaylord-perry/>Gaylord Perry</a>, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-gibson/>Bob Gibson</a>.

619
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,000
And the curve drops over strike three call.

620
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,000
That's number six for Marichal.

621
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,000
That's op one, two, three and they're half of the fifth.

622
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, none left on.

623
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,000
We've come halfway at the end of four and a half innings.

624
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,000
That's the Giants two.

625
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> nothing.

626
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,000
And now here's a word from Rangel.

627
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:12,000
I'm by extravaganza.

628
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000
I don't know the reason.

629
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,000
I can't tell you why.

630
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:20,000
More people like Rangel appear extra dry.

631
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:25,000
But we must be doing something.

632
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:29,000
Yes, we must be doing something right.

633
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:33,000
Yes, we must be doing something.

634
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,000
Woo!

635
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,000
We must be doing something right.

636
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:46,000
We must be doing something right.

637
01:04:46,000 --> 01:05:15,000
Yes, we must be doing something.

638
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Last half of the fifth inning.

639
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a> will be up against Dennis Ryback.

640
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:36,000
That's number 43, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a>.

641
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Henderson, heading for the third time, has reached on a fourth play and grounded out to first, nothing for two.

642
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:50,000
Foul ball back into the crowd, strike one.

643
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:58,000
The grandstand outfielders must have made quite a play.

644
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:04,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> on deck and then <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> with Giants in front, two nothing, bottom half of the fifth inning.

645
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:08,000
Fast ball for a strike.

646
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:18,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gaylord-perry/>Gaylord Perry</a> will open the four-game series against Pittsburgh here at Candlestick tomorrow.

647
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:22,000
At the end of three and a half innings, the Dodgers two and the Pirates two.

648
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,000
Now the curve outside and low, one ball and two strikes.

649
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:34,000
The Dodgers now hitting in the last of the fourth inning against Tommy Sisk and the game tied two to two.

650
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:39,000
The Dodgers are the hot club right now.

651
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:45,000
They have won eight in a row and won 13 of their last 15.

652
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,000
The one-two pitch, a ground ball past Ryback, reached, fielded by Hiller.

653
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:53,000
Chuck fires to first, end time, and Henderson is out.

654
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:54,000
One away.

655
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> coming up.

656
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:00,000
Willie has reached on a fourth play and flies deep to center.

657
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:07,000
He's got the ball right against the fence.

658
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:13,000
The Brass on the Grass, a pre-concert by Herb Alpert and the famous Tijuana Brass,

659
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:20,000
will be presented by the brewers of Ryan Goldbeer in Central Park on Wednesday, September 21st at 8 p.m.

660
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Enter the park at 66th Street and Central Park West.

661
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:39,000
The Dodgers follow the herd to the sheep meadow.

662
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:43,000
One away, nobody on, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> facing Dennis Ryback.

663
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Willie hitting 292 with 34 home runs and 94 runs batted in.

664
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,000
Now Dennis winds.

665
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

666
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,000
A full swing and a little squibbler hit foul.

667
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:12,000
Right straight back, strike one.

668
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:20,000
It will be the 10th year that <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> has driven in 100 or more runs when he reaches the low outside, one ball, one strike.

669
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:29,000
Willie has 94 right now.

670
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:41,000
It will be the eighth consecutive year that Willie has driven in over 100 runs.

671
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,000
Now Ryback swings out of his windup.

672
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,000
The sidearm delivery, a swing and a miss.

673
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,000
Good pitch by Dennis Ryback.

674
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:52,000
One ball and two strikes.

675
01:08:52,000 --> 01:09:08,000
Stretch McCovey waiting in the on deck circle.

676
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,000
Now the one-two delivery and it's over.

677
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:20,000
Strike three called a sidearm curveball.

678
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,000
Well Ryback, his fourth strikeout of the game.

679
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:24,000
Two outs and nobody on.

680
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,000
Here's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a>.

681
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:32,000
He hit a line drive over the 375 mark for a home run his last time up.

682
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:42,000
The 31st home run of the year.

683
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,000
Ryback winds down Kenzie's pitch.

684
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:48,000
A high drive, hit a mile, the deep right center.

685
01:09:48,000 --> 01:10:01,000
Oh, if this one hits, it's over the bleachers again.

686
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:11,000
You have to see the way he hits them to believe him.

687
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:24,000
Oh, I guess that ball was just about as far as the one he hit last night, not quite as far.

688
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:28,000
That ball was hit more to center field than the one he hit last night.

689
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,000
That landed right at the top of the bleachers.

690
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Giants lead three nothing.

691
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,000
And Davenport takes the curve for a called strike.

692
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:46,000
That's McCovey's 32nd home run of the year.

693
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:56,000
Now Ryback delivers low and outside.

694
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:05,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> now has three home runs in his last four official times at bat.

695
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:09,000
One ball and one strike on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a>.

696
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,000
Now the pitcher on the way, a grouter hit hard to third, backhand play by Boyer.

697
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:16,000
The long throw in time, a good play by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a>.

698
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:24,000
And the side is out.

699
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:32,000
In the last of the fifth inning, one run, one hit, the home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a>.

700
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,000
No errors, done left on.

701
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:39,000
At the end of five is the Giants, three runs, seven hits, no errors.

702
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:50,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a>, no runs, four hits, and no errors.

703
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Just from tomorrow, October 2nd, the Mets and the Astros will be concluding the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a>' 1966 baseball season.

704
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:02,000
That will be fan appreciation day at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/shea-stadium/>Shea Stadium</a>.

705
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:07,000
And all youngsters under 16 will be given a replica of the Mets batting helmet.

706
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,000
All over 16 will certainly not be overlooked.

707
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,000
You also will receive a handsome gift.

708
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:19,000
That's two weeks from tomorrow, the last day of the season, the Mets concluding against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/houston-astros/1966/overview/>Houston Astros</a>.

709
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:26,000
The Mets have won 8 out of 11 this year from Houston, and they still have keen ambitions of overhauling the Astros.

710
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:32,000
They have enough games remaining with Houston to turn the trick if they can continue to defeat them.

711
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:39,000
The Mets are going to Houston for a four-game series, and they close out the season with a three-game series at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/shea-stadium/>Shea Stadium</a>.

712
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:45,000
So they have seven games remaining with Houston.

713
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Tickets are on sale at the advanced sale window at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/shea-stadium/>Shea Stadium</a> seven days a week.

714
01:12:50,000 --> 01:13:03,000
Also in Midtown Manhattan on the ground level at Macy's 34th Street store and a ground central station at the foot of the 42nd Street in Vanderbilt Avenue ramp.

715
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:09,000
Mets tickets are also on sale at Macy's in the Walt Whitman Shopping Center in Huntington, Long Island.

716
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:15,000
It will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> leading off against Merritt-Chile on the top of the sixth inning.

717
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:23,000
Giants leading 3-0 on two home runs by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a>.

718
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:32,000
McCovey has three home runs in his last four official times at bat.

719
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:41,000
I don't know whether anything is bothering Merritt-Chile or not, but we're getting some warm-up action in the giant bullpen.

720
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:48,000
The way Merritt-Chile has been working on the mound, it certainly would not seem that there's anything wrong at all.

721
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:57,000
In five innings, he's allowed no runs, four hits, walked none, and struck out six.

722
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:02,000
The Dodgers scored a run off Tommy Sisk in the last of the fourth inning at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a>.

723
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:09,000
And now at the end of four innings, it's the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/los-angeles-dodgers/1966/overview/>Los Angeles Dodgers</a> three, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1966/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a> two.

724
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:21,000
They go to the ninth inning in Houston with the Astros leading Philadelphia 11-2.

725
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:27,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> got a base hit his last time. Up Chuck has one for two.

726
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:31,000
Hiller batting 310.

727
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Everything is over in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1966/overview/>American League</a>. Everything is over in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1966/overview/>National League</a> except the game in Houston, the game in Los Angeles.

728
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:44,000
There's a night game at Atlanta between the Reds and the Braves.

729
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:50,000
Merritt-Chile into his windup. The pitch to Hiller, a ground ball going foul down the first baseline.

730
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:57,000
Everything over in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1966/overview/>American League</a>. The Orioles lost but nonetheless saw the magic number reduce from seven to six.

731
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:05,000
The White Sox beat Baltimore 3-1, but Cleveland toppled second place Detroit 6-2.

732
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Hiller bumps it but it goes foul down the third baseline.

733
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:17,000
The Red Sox defeated the Angels 3-1, and the Twins down the Yankees 4-2 in the stadium with Jim Cotts winning his 24th.

734
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:26,000
Ground ball hit down to first, fair ball fielded by McCovey. He'll take it himself retiring Hiller one man away.

735
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:40,000
Final college football score Duke 34, West Virginia 15.

736
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:45,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> has flied to left and been struck out. Ken is 0 for 2.

737
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Last night Boyer drove in the first run for New York with a sacrifice fly.

738
01:15:54,000 --> 01:16:00,000
Breaking ball outside and low ball wide. Ken also had his 28th double of the year last night,

739
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:12,000
which ties the Mets club record for most doubles in a season. Two years ago <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ron-hunt/>Ron Hunt</a> had 28.

740
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:18,000
Drive well hit by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a>. This one is up there and there it goes, a home run.

741
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> hitting his 14th home run of the year. It is now a 3-1 ball game.

742
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:30,000
That drive really tagged by Kenny. Hit clear of defense with plenty to spare.

743
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:38,000
Failed across the open, expensed and landed right at the base of the bleacher wall.

744
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:45,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> his 61st run batted in, his 14th home run.

745
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:56,000
Al Luplo up and he is driven away from the plate, one ball and no strikes.

746
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:00,000
That's the second time this year that Boyer has homered off Marichal.

747
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:10,000
Now a swing and a miss by Al Luplo, one ball, one strike.

748
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:16,000
On the 4th of August Kenny hit one in the 9th inning off Marichal.

749
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:26,000
The 1-1 delivery, a drive well hit by Luplo. This one is way up there and there it goes, a home run.

750
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,000
Back to back home runs and the Mets fight right back into it.

751
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,000
Al Luplo rounding third and heading in.

752
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Barluplo is sixth home run of the year and that one was a shot over the fence and up into the bleacher.

753
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:50,000
Now it's the Giants three and the Mets two.

754
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:56,000
Back to back home runs of Lon Marichal. There's something you don't see very often.

755
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:01,000
Now Eddie Crane booed us up and the Mets now trail by one run, it's three to two.

756
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:07,000
Here's the pitch by Marichal, a high fly ball going foul down the right field line.

757
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:13,000
This one has the legs to be a home run but it's a foul ball.

758
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:19,000
Al Luplo has hit six home runs this year and three of the six have been off the Giants.

759
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:31,000
That was his second off Marichal, he also hit one off Bob Boland.

760
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:37,000
Now the pitch, Eddie Crane booed us. A line smash off the glove of Marichal, he hurries after it, won't make a play.

761
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:46,000
And Crane booed us on with a base hit. And that's three hits in a row and the tying run is on.

762
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:59,000
The Mets now have a total of seven hits. The hits are even in the game.

763
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:16,000
Here's Marichal Robertson starting to warm up in the Giants bullpen.

764
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:22,000
Now Cleon, a ground ball bounced hard to second. Lanier to 20s, down to first.

765
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:28,000
Low throw but cutting up with it for the double play.

766
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:36,000
Four to six, three double play hit into by Cleon, he hit the ball hard but right at, second baseman <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-lanier/>Hal Lanier</a>.

767
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:43,000
The side retired but the Mets fight back into it on back to back home runs by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> and Al Luplo.

768
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:55,000
Two runs, three hits, no errors, done left on. At the end of five and a half the Giants three and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> two.

769
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:00,000
After the sixth inning, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jesus-alou/>Jesus Alou</a> leads off for the Giants facing Dennis Rybant.

770
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:06,000
Jesus has two hits and two times at bat.

771
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:11,000
Jesus hitting a 265 tall, rangy right hand batter.

772
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:36,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> placing the strike toward left center and the pitch by Rybant foul ball over the dugout of the Giants and back up into the crowd.

773
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:41,000
At the end of four the Dodgers three and the Pirates two. Ground ball hit down to first base.

774
01:20:41,000 --> 01:21:08,000
The Cranes will handle it, jocks over to the bag, steps there and Alou is out one man away.

775
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:31,000
Now swinging a miss by Tom Howell, strike one.

776
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:38,000
A slight injury down in the Mets bullpen, one of the players warming up a pitcher and the bullpen must have been hit by a ball.

777
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:49,000
Now Howell lays off and the count is two balls and a strike.

778
01:21:49,000 --> 01:22:00,000
Two and one the count on Tom Howell, one out, nobody on, last of the sixth inning.

779
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Inside and low, ball three. Rybant working very carefully to left hand batter Tom Howell who has good power.

780
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:14,000
The left hand hitter is with power when that wind is blowing to the right. You really have to pitch cautiously.

781
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:31,000
Add wherever possible, pitch around them. Here's the pitch on the way. Outside ball four and Dennis is going to pitch around him.

782
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:36,000
That's the second walk given up by Rybant.

783
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:54,000
And it brings up Howell Lanier. Lanier is lined out to center and single to right field, one for two.

784
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:58,000
One out and one on, Lanier right hand batter Whitting.

785
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:09,000
Pitched by Rybant, a grounder stroke toward second base. Hiller up with it, throws to Howell, not a first. In time a double play. Four, six, three for the twin gilling.

786
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:14,000
Fast fielding on the part of Hiller and for Bud Howell.

787
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:24,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, none left on. At the end of sixth, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1966/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a> three and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> two.

788
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:31,000
Well, as everybody in New York knows, Rheingold is a beer. In fact, it's New York's number one beer.

789
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:43,000
But then this summer, Rheingold turned into a music festival, a full grown, sixty-one concert music festival, attended by more than two hundred and twenty thousand people.

790
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:49,000
Now, what does that make Rheingold? Well, probably New York's number one music festival.

791
01:23:49,000 --> 01:24:01,000
Well, Rheingold is so happy about being New York's number one this and New York's number one that, that it would like to invite the entire city to a free concert by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.

792
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:10,000
It'll be on the Central Park Sheath Meadow, Central Park West and 66th Street on Wednesday, September 21st at 8 o'clock.

793
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:22,000
But better come early because there's really going to be something doing, right?

794
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:30,000
You mentioned a moment ago that there had been a slight accident and the Mets bullpen, a ball bounced up and struck Jerry Grody.

795
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:35,000
Jerry is all right. He's on his feet and walking now into the dugout with trender Gus Musch.

796
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:40,000
He'll go on into the clubhouse to be taken care of.

797
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:51,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a> will be up against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> on the seventh inning.

798
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:59,000
Johnny has been up twice and been struck out twice.

799
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:05,000
Here's the pitch by Marichal, a swing and a miss on a curveball of the knees, strike one.

800
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-taylor/>Bob Taylor</a> coming out on deck.

801
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:16,000
About a month ago, Hawk got hit with a ball down in the bullpen during the course of a ball game.

802
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:23,000
Outside and low on a screwball, one ball, one strike to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a>.

803
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:29,000
The Giants have three runs, seven hits. The Mets two runs, seven hits.

804
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,000
Bounced foul, no play.

805
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:44,000
Each team has hit two home runs, Boyer and Luplo for New York, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> has hit two for the Giants.

806
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:51,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a> is on call in the Mets bullpen.

807
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:55,000
Now the windup by Marichal, the pitch, round ball hit towards second.

808
01:25:55,000 --> 01:26:07,000
Lanier to his glove side has it, whips the ball to McCovey, retiring <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a>, one down.

809
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:12,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hawk-taylor/>Hawk Taylor</a> is being called back and Johnny Stevenson is coming out as a pinch hitter.

810
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:24,000
Right here, let's pause for station identification. This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> baseball network.

811
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:35,000
This is WGY, your <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> stations connectivity.

812
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:41,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ralph-kiner/>Ralph Kiner</a> from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/candlestick-park-i/>Candlestick Park</a> in San Francisco.

813
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:45,000
The ball game going, Giants three, Mets two, we're in the seventh.

814
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:49,000
Johnny Stevenson is batting for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hawk-taylor/>Hawk Taylor</a>.

815
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:52,000
Johnny's had good luck against the Giants this year.

816
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:57,000
He is hitting 424 against San Francisco.

817
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:07,000
Now the pitch by Marichal, a swing and a miss, strike one.

818
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:13,000
He's on call in the bullpen because Ryban is scheduled up next.

819
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:18,000
And a swing and a miss, strike two.

820
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:23,000
Marichal pulling the string on Johnny Stevenson.

821
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:27,000
The end of five innings, the Dodgers three and the Pirates two.

822
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,000
And a swing and a miss, he's struck him out.

823
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:38,000
Stevenson struck out on three pitches by Marichal, his seventh strike out of the game.

824
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,000
And now Dennis Ryban is being called back.

825
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:44,000
And Larry Elliott is coming out as the pinch hitter.

826
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,000
It's all over in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/astrodome/>Astrodome</a>.

827
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:51,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/houston-astros/1966/overview/>Houston Astros</a> routed the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/philadelphia-phillies/1966/overview/>Philadelphia Phillies</a> 11 to 2.

828
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,000
Houston had 17 base hits.

829
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,000
Larry Durker went all the way, winning his ninth.

830
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,000
The loser was Morris in relief.

831
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,000
The Mets tackle the Astros in a doubleheader tomorrow.

832
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:14,000
We'll be on the air at 3.25 p.m. New York time.

833
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:19,000
Now left-handed hitting Larry Elliott will bat for Dennis Ryban.

834
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:23,000
Dennis doing a good job on the mound again today.

835
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:27,000
He's just out of the game for a pinch hitter after working six innings.

836
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:30,000
Dennis gave up three runs, allowed seven hits.

837
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:35,000
He walked two and struck out four.

838
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:43,000
The Mets will have a new pitcher, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a>, in the ballgame in the last half of the seventh.

839
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:48,000
See, now's a good time to light up a cool and taste the most refreshing coolness you can get.

840
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:52,000
Cool filter king.

841
01:28:52,000 --> 01:29:09,000
A swing and a miss on a breaking ball by Marichal, strike one.

842
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:14,000
The Mets were trailing 3-0, but in the sixth inning with one out, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> homered to left.

843
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:20,000
And Al Luplo homered to right to make it 3-2.

844
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:28,000
For Boyer and Luplo, it was the second time this year they have homered off one Marichal.

845
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:50,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> is the on-deck batter, and the pitch to Elliott is low inside, one ball, one strike.

846
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:51,000
Pitching one and one.

847
01:29:51,000 --> 01:30:03,000
Ground ball going foul off to the right side, it's one ball and two strikes.

848
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:09,000
Following today's game, the Mets will be flying on to Houston.

849
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:14,000
Here's the one-two pitch off the outside corner, it's two and two.

850
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:30,000
Tomorrow, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/nolan-ryan/>Nolan Ryan</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tug-mcgraw/>Tug McGraw</a> are the pitchers against the Astros, Dave Juste and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-bruce/>Bob Bruce</a>.

851
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:36,000
One Marichal with a count of two and two delivers to Elliott, a swing and a miss, he's struck him out.

852
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,000
Marichal coming back strong.

853
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:43,000
Strikes out two of the three, now has struck out eight in seven innings.

854
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:46,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, none left on.

855
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:50,000
Seven-inning stretch time for the Giants fans at the end of the six-and-a-half innings.

856
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:54,000
The Giants three, and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> two.

857
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,000
We all love our country.

858
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:58,000
It's the most beautiful country in the world.

859
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,000
Let's prove how much we love it.

860
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:03,000
Let's keep America beautiful.

861
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:12,000
Doesn't it make you fighting mad to see thoughtless, careless people spreading trash and litter all over our streets and roads and highways and waterways?

862
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:19,000
Doesn't it make your blood boil when people scatter rubbish all over our parks and woodlands and beaches?

863
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:20,000
You bet it does.

864
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:23,000
So always carry a litter bag in car or boat.

865
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:28,000
When you have trash to get rid of, don't throw it away, stow it away.

866
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,000
Hold everything for the proper receptacle.

867
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:35,000
Our roads and streets and parks and waterways belong to all of us.

868
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:39,000
Litter is an eyesore, interferes with outdoor fun.

869
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:42,000
It's a threat to health and highway safety.

870
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:44,000
Costs tax dollars, too.

871
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:47,000
Every litter bit hurts you.

872
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:50,000
We have the most beautiful country in the world.

873
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,000
Let's keep it that way.

874
01:31:52,000 --> 01:32:11,000
Let's all work together to keep America beautiful.

875
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,000
New battery for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

876
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:18,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a> is now pitching and Jody Stevenson is behind the plate.

877
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:24,000
Darrell worked two-thirds of an inning in the eighth inning here last night and was the winning pitcher.

878
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:28,000
He got the Giants out after they had gone in front.

879
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:33,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> singled home <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a> to put the Giants in front three to two.

880
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:40,000
Then Darrell got the side out and in the ninth inning the Mets rallied for three runs to win it, and Darrell was the winner in relief.

881
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:45,000
Hamilton came on to save the game in the ninth inning.

882
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:48,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> up against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a>.

883
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:52,000
Darrell has won two and lost none.

884
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:59,000
And the pitch is outside, ball one.

885
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:02,000
Dennis Rybett pitched six innings, allowed three runs, seven hits.

886
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:11,000
Walk two, struck out four.

887
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:25,000
Right in there for a call strike, one ball and one strike.

888
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:30,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dick-rusteck/>Dick Rusteck</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rob-gardner/>Rob Gardner</a> throwing easily down the Miss Bullpen.

889
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:40,000
Breaking ball, a strike on the outside corner, one and two.

890
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:48,000
Dick's shoulder feels a lot better.

891
01:33:48,000 --> 01:34:08,000
Pitching one and two. He started to go and he held up and he missed outside so the count is even at two and two.

892
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,000
Pitching two and two. A swing and a miss, he struck him out.

893
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:19,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a> with a curve ball strikes out <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>, one man away.

894
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:22,000
Now the top of the batting order for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tito-fuentes/>Tito Fuentes</a>.

895
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:28,000
He reached on an infield hit in the first inning and since then has bounced out to short and been struck out.

896
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:33,000
Fuentes has won for three. He's batting 257.

897
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:41,000
For <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a>, this is his third outing since rejoining the ball club from Jacksonville.

898
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:48,000
Darrell of Slender, California.

899
01:34:48,000 --> 01:35:12,000
One ball inside, one ball and no strike.

900
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:16,000
Five innings at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a>, the Dodgers three and the Pirates two.

901
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:20,000
A ground ball hit toward the hole, deep in the hole, harrassing up with it.

902
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:26,000
Can't make a play and Fuentes is on with an infield hit.

903
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:32,000
His second infield hit of the ball game. He is now two for four and it brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a>.

904
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:44,000
Henderson has reached on a fourth play, grounded out to first and grounded out to second, nothing for three.

905
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:52,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a>, a switch hitter, batting at 263.

906
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:57,000
He was around with the Giants all last year as a first year player who had to be protected.

907
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:01,000
Now the pitch. Call of strike on the inside corner.

908
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:06,000
This year he could be farmed out so he got some needed experience playing for Phoenix

909
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:19,000
and the Pacific Coast League and he hit 272.

910
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:27,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a> in the set position throws the first base down in time.

911
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:35,000
Last of the seventh innings, Giants three and the Mets two.

912
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:38,000
A line drive, a face hit to center field.

913
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:47,000
Fuentes around second is racing on to third and the Giants have runners at first and third with one out.

914
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:59,000
The batter coming up is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a>.

915
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:06,000
In today's game Willie has reached on a fourth play, glide to deep center. The ball was caught right against the fence

916
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:10,000
at the 4'10 mark by Leon Jung.

917
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:21,000
And Willie's last time up against Dennis Rabant he was called out on strikes.

918
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:28,000
Willie hitting 291. Outfielder <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-johnson/>Frank Johnson</a> racing down to the bullpen now to start warming up his arms.

919
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:33,000
Here's the pitch. Outside it's ball one.

920
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:42,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/herman-franks/>Herman Franks</a> has been putting <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-johnson/>Frank Johnson</a> in in the late innings for defense. He has quite a throwing arm.

921
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:48,000
Last night when Sean Fitzmorris slid home with a tying run in the ninth.

922
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:53,000
Johnson's throw from left field was a beautiful throw.

923
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:59,000
Ball popped out of Haller's middle. They might have had him.

924
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:04,000
In field looking for two. A ground ball back to the mound. Sutherland throws to Harrelson one.

925
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:12,000
Now to first double play. The side is out. A one, six, three double play.

926
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:19,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a> works out of it. No runs, two hits, no errors and one left on.

927
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:32,000
At the end of seven innings the score is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1966/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a> three and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> two.

928
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:38,000
In the next leg at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a> is the Dodgers three and the Pirates two at the end of five.

929
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:47,000
Tommy Sisk dueling <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-moeller/>Joe Moeller</a>. Home run from the game by Willie Starjow for the Bucks and Ron Fairley for the Dodgers.

930
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:55,000
The <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals/1966/overview/>St. Louis Cardinals</a> climbed into a fourth place tie with Philadelphia by defeating Chicago today six to five.

931
01:38:55,000 --> 01:39:00,000
The winner in relief was <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/don-dennis/>Don Dennis</a>. The loser was the starter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-holtzman/>Ken Holtzman</a>.

932
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:06,000
Home runs by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/mike-shannon/>Mike Shannon</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/adolfo-phillips/>Adolfo Phillips</a>. Cincinnati plays at Atlanta tonight.

933
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:13,000
And the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/houston-astros/1966/overview/>Houston Astros</a> had 11 runs and 17 hits. In beating Philadelphia 11 to 2 with Larry Durker going all the way.

934
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:22,000
Morris the loser in relief. In the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/AL/1966/overview/>American League</a>, Cleet Boyer and Joe Pepito and Homer for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-yankees/1966/overview/>New York Yankees</a> with the Yanksville two runs shy.

935
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:28,000
Minnesota defeating the Yankees in the stadium four to two with Jim Cot winning his 24th.

936
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:35,000
The Mets Andy Koufax for the winningest pitcher in the major league. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/al-downing/>Al Downing</a> was the loser.

937
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:42,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dennis-bennett/>Dennis Bennett</a> with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-wyatt/>John Wyatt</a> in the eighth inning combining for a five hitter as the Red Sox trip the Angels three to one.

938
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/george-thomas/>George Thomas</a> and Carl Yastremski homered for Boston. Bob Rogers for the Angels. The loser was George Brunette.

939
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:55,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tommy-john/>Tommy John</a> won his 14th going all the way as the White Sox beat the Orioles three to one. Palmer the loser.

940
01:39:55,000 --> 01:40:04,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-robinson/>Frank Robinson</a> had his 45th home run most in the major league. But Jerry Yadair beat his old teammates with a three run homer.

941
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:12,000
And Cleveland with Steve Argen pitching a four hitter for his 12th win. Down Detroit six to two. The loser was McGee Lowlich.

942
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:22,000
Jose Askew hit a three run homer in the sixth inning. And as a result though the Orioles lost, they saw the magic number reduced from seven to six.

943
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:26,000
Kansas City and Washington not scheduled.

944
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:41,000
Now the Pirates are out in the sixth inning at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/dodger-stadium/>Dodger Stadium</a>. At the end of five and a half the Dodgers three and the Pirates two.

945
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:53,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> up against Marichal a line drive into center field for a base hit. And the tying run is on with nobody out.

946
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:58,000
Single to center by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> is the eighth hit in the ball game for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a>.

947
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:08,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> is coming up and the sign is going out to the Giant Bullpen.

948
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:17,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> possesses marvelous speed. He stole twice last night. A ground ball hit foul down the first base line.

949
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:26,000
And in the ninth inning he stole home with what proved to be the decisive run. At the time it was an insurance run putting New York in front five three.

950
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:34,000
The Giants picked up a run in the last of the ninth inning.

951
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:41,000
Lobbed over to first and Harrelson scampers back. In his short time with the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> Harrelson has stolen five bases.

952
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:51,000
He's five for five. He hasn't been caught.

953
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:59,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-grote/>Jerry Grote</a> is all right. Jerry came into the clubhouse for repairs after being struck with a ball in the bullpen. But Jerry's back in the bullpen now.

954
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:07,000
A foul ball off back toward the Giant dugout. At a two strike count to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a>.

955
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:28,000
Veteran left hander <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-henry/>Bill Henry</a>. Right hander Frank Lindsey both warming up now in the Giants bullpen.

956
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:39,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> trying to win his 23rd. Has gone all the way. Has allowed two runs eight hits.

957
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:44,000
Now throw to first. It's not in time.

958
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:51,000
Hiller is the batter with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> on deck and then Al Luplo.

959
01:42:51,000 --> 01:43:03,000
Now throw to first and Harrelson is back. Marichal keeping a very close eye on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>.

960
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:14,000
Now the pitch on the way. A grounder hit slowly foul down the third baseline.

961
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:21,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> has one for three. Chuck had an infield hit the deep short in the third inning.

962
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:31,000
Hiller batting at 3.08. Nuts behind 3 to 2. A high infield pop fly.

963
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:38,000
Kido Fuentes the shortstop is under it and he makes the catch.

964
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:48,000
Kido has a style all his own on catching those pop ups. He has his arms at his side. He dresses those up pretty good.

965
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:53,000
He stood there with his arms hanging at his sides and at the last moment put his glove up there.

966
01:43:53,000 --> 01:44:01,000
Crowd was starting to ooh and ah like he'd lost the ball and didn't know it was coming his way.

967
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> stepping in against Marichal. Ken had a home run against Marichal in the sixth inning.

968
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:19,000
After he connected, Al Luplo connected to right field to make it 3 to 2.

969
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:23,000
The runner goes hit and run play and it's fouled off.

970
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:37,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> threw the bat at the ball to get a piece on it and Harrelson who was running has to come back.

971
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:54,000
Al Luplo is waiting on deck and then Ed Crainbuehl.

972
01:44:54,000 --> 01:45:02,000
Now the pitch and it's popped up to right field. Coming in is the right fielder Henderson. He's under it and he makes the catch.

973
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:08,000
Harrelson playing it halfway, jocks back to first base.

974
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:14,000
So Marichal has retired. Hiller and Boyer in the top of the eighth inning. Harrelson is still on first base.

975
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:21,000
It brings up Al Luplo. Al hit a long drive up into the bleachers in right field for a home run his last trip.

976
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:30,000
It was the second time this year he had connected off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>.

977
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:38,000
Giants three, Mets two, eighth inning.

978
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:52,000
Outside is Lois, ball one.

979
01:45:52,000 --> 01:46:05,000
Swing and a miss at a screwball thrown by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>. One ball, one strike.

980
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:11,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> has not walked a batter and has struck out eight.

981
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:21,000
A throw to first, almost a low throw handled by McCovey. McCovey does a good job on handling those throws.

982
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:30,000
A throw to first, almost had him leaning the other way but he scrambles back.

983
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:36,000
Two men away, Marichal really bearing down now on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>, the runner at first.

984
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:46,000
Had a throw to first base, not in time.

985
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:54,000
Another throw to first, close but he's back.

986
01:46:54,000 --> 01:47:03,000
The Giants caught enough of Harrelson back last night. They're taking no chance. It's another throw to first.

987
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:08,000
The crowd really getting a kick out of the duel now between Marichal and Harrelson.

988
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:17,000
Here's the pitch on the way and it's low inside, two balls and a strike.

989
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:27,000
Bud stole second and he stole home last night. He brought in what proved to be the winning run.

990
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:33,000
Pitching two and one, the runner goes, a swing and a miss, the peg to second to slide, the ball goes into center field.

991
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:42,000
Harrelson is on his way to third and he pulls into third standing up and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> has his sixth stolen base.

992
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:51,000
He's batting a thousand, they haven't caught him yet. He's six for six.

993
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:55,000
Stolen base and an error charged to Howler on the low throw.

994
01:47:55,000 --> 01:48:05,000
The count of tying run is on third base. The count is two and two on Al Luplo, two men away.

995
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:20,000
Marichal into his land, up the pitch, a high fly ball, well hit the right field, right down the line is going, Bill on a two run homer.

996
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:30,000
The next lead, four to three on a two run homer by Al Luplo, his second home run of the ballgame.

997
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:36,000
I don't know whether the base running annex of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> had anything to do with it or not, it could have.

998
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:40,000
May have bothered Marichal just a little bit and Al Luplo ripped it.

999
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:47,000
A high fly hit right down the right field line and well over the fence for a two run homer.

1000
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:54,000
Next lead, four to three, Luplo's seventh home run of the year.

1001
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:57,000
Foul ball coming back to the crowd, no play.

1002
01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:11,000
Al Luplo has hit only seven home runs all year and he has three of the seven off <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>.

1003
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:18,000
That's a good three home runs today, accounting for their four runs. One ball, one strike on Eddie Krainbuehl.

1004
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:25,000
Eddie has three for three today. Here's the pitch on the way, a slow ground ball down the first baseline.

1005
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:33,000
Marichal racing after it, McCovey tries to scoop the ball to Marichal, they can't make the play and Krainbuehl is on with a base hit.

1006
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:46,000
He now is four for four, three of the four have been infield hits.

1007
01:49:46,000 --> 01:50:02,000
Eddie Krainbuehl has a four for four afternoon and the last three have been infield hits.

1008
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:17,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> stepping in, Mets lead four, three, top of the eighth inning.

1009
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:23,000
Now Marichal delivers, that is over the head of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a>, one ball, no strikes.

1010
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:29,000
In the Mets bullpen, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-hamilton/>Jack Hamilton</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a> are getting ready.

1011
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:35,000
Luplo is the third member of the Mets to get two home runs in one game this year.

1012
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:40,000
Eddie Krainbuehl now has become the third Mets player to get four hits in one game.

1013
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:42,000
Foul ball back.

1014
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:47,000
Eddie got a clean single to right in the second.

1015
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:51,000
The last three hits have been infield hits.

1016
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:56,000
At the end of six innings at Dodger City and the Dodgers three and the Pirates two.

1017
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:02,000
If the Mets win and the Dodgers win, the Dodgers are going to be sitting in a good spot.

1018
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:16,000
The one-one delivery, a drive into the air to center, back goes <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> deep into right center and a one-hand catch.

1019
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:24,000
Well that was a beauty by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> that saved a run, a long run into deep right center and a one-hand catch out by defense.

1020
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:30,000
For New York in the eighth inning, the Mets score two runs to take the lead.

1021
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:35,000
There were three hits, one air charged to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-haller/>Tom Haller</a> and one man left on.

1022
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:42,000
And at the end of seven and a half innings, it's now the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> four to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1966/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a> three.

1023
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:46,000
It's hard to find a job that pays $50 a month anymore.

1024
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:50,000
About the only one who has nerve enough to offer you that is Uncle Sam.

1025
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:56,000
$50 a month is what you get saved for you during the year you spend in VISTA.

1026
01:51:56,000 --> 01:52:00,000
But people don't join VISTA to get rich, except in a special sense.

1027
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:04,000
VISTA is volunteers in service to America.

1028
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:08,000
And VISTA volunteers come from all parts of the country.

1029
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,000
They're all ages, all types.

1030
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:19,000
The one thing they have in common is a sense of commitment to something they consider more important than their own comfort.

1031
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:24,000
They're spending a year fighting poverty, full time.

1032
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:30,000
They're learning all sorts of things about people, about this country, about themselves.

1033
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:40,000
VISTA. To get the whole story, write V-I-S-T-A, Box B, Washington, D.C.

1034
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:53,000
VISTA, Box B, Washington.

1035
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:55,000
We're going to the bottom half of the eighth inning.

1036
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:58,000
This is Ralph Kinder along with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> and Lindsay Nelson.

1037
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:00,000
And the Mets are in front four to three.

1038
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:07,000
In the ball game now for the Mets is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a>, fellow replacing <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-sutherland/>Darrell Sutherland</a>, who worked in the seventh inning.

1039
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:11,000
And although he gave up two hits, he got out of the inning without the giant scoring.

1040
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:16,000
Miller a left hander and his first pitch is to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> and it's Paul to strike.

1041
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:19,000
McCovey has hit two consecutive home runs.

1042
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:23,000
His 31st and 32nd, they came in the fourth and fifth innings.

1043
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:26,000
And he is perfect for the day with a walk to go along.

1044
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:30,000
Now Miller back and a curve ball is popped up on the third base side.

1045
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:33,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> with his glasses down and now back up.

1046
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:36,000
And Ken almost drops him off.

1047
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:44,000
He made the catch but he had no surety that he had made it as the ball almost squeezed out of his glove.

1048
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:45,000
He was fighting the sun all the way.

1049
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:55,000
He put his glasses down, changed his mind, puts them back up again, and then finally with the glasses up he made the play.

1050
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:57,000
Miller has a record of all-in-one.

1051
01:53:57,000 --> 01:54:00,000
This is his fourth appearance for the Mets.

1052
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:02,000
Now the batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a>.

1053
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:04,000
And the first pitch is called a strike.

1054
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:11,000
Over at the knees, strike one.

1055
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:13,000
Davenport is 0 for 3.

1056
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:16,000
Boyer made a good play on him to get him out his last time up.

1057
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:17,000
A ground ball down to first base.

1058
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:21,000
Cranepole takes the tough hop, goes to the bag for the out.

1059
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:23,000
So two men away here in the bottom half of the eighth.

1060
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:25,000
The Mets in front by one.

1061
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:29,000
And the batter coming up is Atsusa Lu who is 2 for 3.

1062
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:37,000
The Mets have <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-hamilton/>Jack Hamilton</a> throwing in the bullpen.

1063
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:41,000
This ballgame is a big game for the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1966/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a>.

1064
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:50,000
They started the action in third place.

1065
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:55,000
They are trailing the Dodgers by four and the Dodgers are winning against the Pirates today.

1066
01:54:55,000 --> 01:55:01,000
Change up is Pop Powell back of home going out of play.

1067
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:06,000
So it's a strike one count on Atsusa Lu.

1068
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:14,000
Dodgers leading the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1966/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a> by a score of 3 to 2 at the end of sixth.

1069
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:32,000
If the Giants lose today and the Dodgers win, the Giants will be five games back.

1070
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:35,000
One strike down and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a> takes too much time.

1071
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:44,000
So Atsusa Lu steps out of the batter's box and takes a practice swing.

1072
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:48,000
Now the pitch is grounded over the head of the third baseman deep to short,

1073
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:55,000
taken by Harrelson, the long throw to first base in time to retire the side.

1074
01:55:55,000 --> 01:56:01,000
So a 1-2-3 inning for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a> and the Mets have only three outs to go as they lead by a score of 4 to 3

1075
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:11,000
as we go to the top of the ninth inning.

1076
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:18,000
Well the Mets after their game here today move on to play against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/houston-astros/1966/overview/>Houston Astros</a>.

1077
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:20,000
They'll be playing a doubleheader tomorrow against Houston.

1078
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:22,000
It's going to be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tug-mcgraw/>Tug McGraw</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/nolan-ryan/>Nolan Ryan</a>.

1079
01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:31,000
We'll be on the air with our ball game at 3.25 New York time.

1080
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:33,000
Dave Juste and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-bruce/>Bob Bruce</a> are the scheduled Astro pitchers.

1081
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:39,000
The Mets play the Astros a doubleheader on Sunday, a single night game on Monday, and a single night game on Tuesday.

1082
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:44,000
Then they move on to Cincinnati for a weekend series on Friday, Saturday, and a doubleheader Sunday.

1083
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:48,000
Then they come home to play against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/chicago-cubs/1966/overview/>Chicago Cubs</a> on the 27th.

1084
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:51,000
That'll be a night game on Tuesday night, a day game on the 28th.

1085
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:57,000
And then the final series of the year against Houston on the 30th and the 1st and 2nd of October.

1086
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:00,000
30th a night game on Friday night.

1087
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:03,000
The 1st will be a night game on Saturday night.

1088
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:05,000
It'll be ladies night on that Saturday night.

1089
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:08,000
Ladies admitted to the ballpark for 50 cent service charge.

1090
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:10,000
And then the final game on Sunday.

1091
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:13,000
On Sunday it'll be fan appreciation day.

1092
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:19,000
And the Mets are going to give a free batting fiberglass helmet to all the boys and girls

1093
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:22,000
16 years of age and younger who come to the ballpark that day.

1094
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:24,000
Also on gift for the adults.

1095
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:28,000
First pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a> as we start off here in the top of the ninth.

1096
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,000
They've swung on a missed strike one.

1097
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:32,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> working for the Giants.

1098
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:34,000
Mets are leading 4 to 3.

1099
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:36,000
They have four runs on 10 hits.

1100
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:39,000
The Giants have three runs and nine.

1101
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:44,000
Johnny is 0 for 3 in the game.

1102
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:48,000
He'll be followed by Johnny Stevenson and then the pitcher, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a>.

1103
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:50,000
The next pitch is called a ball.

1104
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:52,000
It's 1 and 1.

1105
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:58,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ralph-terry/>Ralph Terry</a> throwing in the bullpen for the Mets now.

1106
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:00,000
1-1 delivery by Marichal.

1107
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:04,000
Hit off the end of the bat foul over the third base coach's head.

1108
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:06,000
The count goes to one ball and two strikes.

1109
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:09,000
Right now we'll pause for station identification.

1110
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:12,000
This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> baseball network.

1111
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:14,000
And this is WGY, 810 on your dials.

1112
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:26,000
Connected to New York, your station for all the Mets baseball games.

1113
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:29,000
Next pitch to the plate is fouled off the end of the bat again to the left side.

1114
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:31,000
And the count stays at 1 and 2.

1115
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:37,000
Ralph Keiner along with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> from San Francisco, California.

1116
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:38,000
One ball, two strikes.

1117
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:39,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a> the batter.

1118
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:41,000
And Marichal back again.

1119
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:43,000
The pitch is hit hard down to second base.

1120
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:44,000
Howell and Neer has it.

1121
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:50,000
And so the first base is in time for the outs.

1122
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:54,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a> is put aside for the fourth time in the ball game.

1123
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:57,000
And that brings up Johnny Stevenson who was a pinch hitter in the seventh inning.

1124
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:00,000
He stayed in the ball game to take over the catching chores.

1125
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:04,000
Johnny as a pinch hitter struck out.

1126
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:07,000
Left hand batter.

1127
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:15,000
Mets in front 4 to 3 as we play here in the top of the ninth inning.

1128
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:30,000
And the next pitch to the plate is swung on a miss, strike one.

1129
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:34,000
Marichal back and again a swinging strike.

1130
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:44,000
Strike two.

1131
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:48,000
And the next delivery by Marichal is outside.

1132
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:57,000
The count, one ball, two strikes.

1133
01:59:57,000 --> 02:00:00,000
And a swinging strike, strike three.

1134
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:02,000
Marichal picking up his ninth strikeout.

1135
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:05,000
He's second out here in the top of the ninth inning.

1136
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,000
And now the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a>.

1137
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:20,000
Larry is a good hitting pitcher.

1138
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:23,000
Miller has been a bad once and has had a base hit.

1139
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:29,000
And he swings at the first pitch and misses, strike one.

1140
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:33,000
In the ninth inning, the bottom half of the ninth,

1141
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:37,000
the Giants have the bottom of their batting order coming up.

1142
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:40,000
One strike delivery, swung on a miss, strike two.

1143
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:48,000
They're trailing by one and the scheduled hitters will be Tom Howler, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-lanier/>Hal Lanier</a>, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>.

1144
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:51,000
They'll be going to some pinch hitting.

1145
02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:53,000
Here's a two-strike pitch.

1146
02:00:53,000 --> 02:01:07,000
They're going away and it's ball one. One ball, two strikes.

1147
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:10,000
Marichal back again and a swing and a miss, strike three.

1148
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:13,000
The ball was dropped by Tom Howler.

1149
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:16,000
Throw to first base to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a>, retires to side.

1150
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:20,000
Ten strikeouts for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a>, another one-two-three inning,

1151
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:25,000
and he leaves the ball game trailing by a score of four to three.

1152
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:32,000
And in jeopardy of losing his first game to the Mets, he has won 17 times.

1153
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:35,000
We're going to the bottom half of the ninth inning with the Giants coming up,

1154
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:38,000
and they need one to tie and two to win.

1155
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:40,000
On the mound for the Mets, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a>.

1156
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:43,000
He has worked one inning, got the side out in order.

1157
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:47,000
And here's a bright way of hope for the Giants.

1158
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:52,000
Don Glendin has hit a free-run home run for the Dodgers down in Los Angeles.

1159
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:56,000
He did say against the Dodgers down in Los Angeles.

1160
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:01,000
And the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/pittsburgh-pirates/1966/overview/>Pittsburgh Pirates</a> have taken the lead by a score of five to three

1161
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:05,000
as they batted the top of the seventh inning.

1162
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:08,000
Regan has taken over for Joe Mueller in the seventh inning.

1163
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:15,000
Tommy Sitts still pitching for the Pirates.

1164
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:17,000
First man up is Jack Hyde.

1165
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:19,000
He was a pinch hitter in last night's ball game and single,

1166
02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:21,000
and his first pitch is called a ball.

1167
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:26,000
Jack, a right-hand batter.

1168
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:28,000
He has been up 11 times with four hits.

1169
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:34,000
He's batting 364.

1170
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:37,000
Miller back and the ball grounded foul down toward third base

1171
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:41,000
taken by Boyer in foul territory, and the count goes to one and one.

1172
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:44,000
Jack Hyde batting for Tom Howler.

1173
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:52,000
Howler 0 for 2 in the game.

1174
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:55,000
On deck batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-lanier/>Hal Lanier</a>.

1175
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:58,000
Giants have Jim Ray Hard on the bench.

1176
02:02:58,000 --> 02:02:59,000
He did not start the ball game.

1177
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:04,000
A change-up by Mueller is too low, and they count two balls and one strike.

1178
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:06,000
Metz has four runs and ten hits.

1179
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:13,000
The Giants have three runs and nine.

1180
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:16,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-hamilton/>Jack Hamilton</a> in the bullpen and Ralph Turi in the bullpen for the match.

1181
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:18,000
The fly ball hit the right field.

1182
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:19,000
Coming in is Al Uplow.

1183
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:25,000
He's there, and he makes the catch, and he really had to fight the sun.

1184
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:30,000
So the Mets have their first out in the bottom half of the ninth inning,

1185
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:36,000
and the batter is scheduled up as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-lanier/>Hal Lanier</a>, but he has been called back.

1186
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:42,000
Also near the bat rack is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cap-peterson/>Cap Peterson</a>.

1187
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:45,000
It's going to be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cap-peterson/>Cap Peterson</a>, pinch hitting for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/hal-lanier/>Hal Lanier</a>.

1188
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:51,000
Lanier had one hit and three times up.

1189
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,000
Howdy-ho, how are you?

1190
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:57,000
I'm here to coach you, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cap-peterson/>Cap Peterson</a>.

1191
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:00,000
Hello.

1192
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:07,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a> taking some warm-up pitches while the Mets wait for Peterson to get to the batter's box.

1193
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:10,000
He's swinging a couple of bats in the on-deck circle.

1194
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:15,000
In the bottom half of the ninth, the Mets in front four to three.

1195
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:21,000
A two-run home run by Al Uplow, turning the game around to the Mets side in the top of the eighth inning.

1196
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:31,000
Al had had a previous home run as had <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a>.

1197
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:35,000
In the on-deck circle now is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a>.

1198
02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:39,000
So it's going to be a tough ball for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a>.

1199
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:41,000
Here's his first pitch to Peterson.

1200
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:42,000
A change-up that's over.

1201
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:46,000
A good pitch, strike one.

1202
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:56,000
Peterson, a right-hand batter, hitting.238 with two home runs and 19 runs batted in.

1203
02:04:56,000 --> 02:04:59,000
And the next pitch is taken just below the knee.

1204
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:22,000
To the count, one ball and one strike. Mother missing with a curve ball.

1205
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:26,000
One ball, one strike. Mother back again with a change, but this one is outside.

1206
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:38,000
Oh, they got two balls and one strike.

1207
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:44,000
Giant fans sort of quiet here at this point.

1208
02:05:44,000 --> 02:05:47,000
I need a win in this ballgame to stay in this pennant race.

1209
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:51,000
Next pitch is lined deep to left field, and the people extubated.

1210
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:53,000
Going in against the wall.

1211
02:05:53,000 --> 02:05:56,000
Peterson on his way to second base looking toward third.

1212
02:05:56,000 --> 02:05:58,000
He's coming to third. There'll be a play at third.

1213
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:05,000
Here's the throw. He's going to be out. He is.

1214
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:14,000
Jeff Peterson on the relay from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> out at third base as the Giants try to get the tie run to third.

1215
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:23,000
Bag made by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a>, and the Mets pick up their second out.

1216
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:27,000
So now they're down to their last out against the Mets.

1217
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:30,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> has never lost a game to the Mets.

1218
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:32,000
He will be the pitcher record.

1219
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:41,000
The throw coming from the left fielder, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a>, a flying relay by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a>, and a good tag by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a>.

1220
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:43,000
And the Mets getting their second out.

1221
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:50,000
They're leading by a score of 4-3, and the batter now is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a>.

1222
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:53,000
Hart did not start in either of the last two games against the Mets.

1223
02:06:53,000 --> 02:06:58,000
He's batting 271, and he takes the first pitch high of breaking ball at ball one.

1224
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:02,000
Hart has hit 32 home runs this year with 88 runs batted in.

1225
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:07,000
His 32 home runs a career high.

1226
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:13,000
He was a pinch hitter in last night's ball game and grounded down to third base and was out.

1227
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:15,000
Next delivery, a change up that's inside.

1228
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:30,000
It's ball two. Two balls and no strikes.

1229
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:35,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a> taking the signs and now back again, and he misses high, ball three.

1230
02:07:35,000 --> 02:07:37,000
Another breaking ball that was high.

1231
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:40,000
Dangerous pitches by the left-handers.

1232
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:46,000
Three balls, no strikes. The on-deck batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tito-fuentes/>Tito Fuentes</a>.

1233
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:54,000
Mets bullpen still throwing, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-hamilton/>Jack Hamilton</a> and Ralph Derry.

1234
02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:59,000
3-0, and the pitch to Hart is over for a called strike.

1235
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:14,000
So that puts the count at three balls and one strike.

1236
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:39,000
Now the 3-1 pitch. It's long gone to left field, a home run.

1237
02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:48,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a> with his 33rd home run, a pinch hit home run that has taken <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> once again off of the hook.

1238
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:59,000
And it's a tie ball game at four to four and the batter coming up is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tito-fuentes/>Tito Fuentes</a>.

1239
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:06,000
So the Giants with only one out left getting back in the ball game and back in the pennant race.

1240
02:09:06,000 --> 02:09:22,000
And now the batter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tito-fuentes/>Tito Fuentes</a> steps in and his first pitch is high at ball one.

1241
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:29,000
Well, if the Giants should go on to win the pennant this year, the turning point would be that home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a>.

1242
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:31,000
They were practically out of the pentagrade.

1243
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:35,000
Only one out left. They would have been five games out.

1244
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:39,000
Now high pop-up as Fuentes fouls the ball into the third base area.

1245
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:44,000
Boyer over to make the catch and a good one as he makes the catch and then falls toward the side.

1246
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:49,000
That retires the side, but one run too late for the Mets.

1247
02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:56,000
As the Giants tied up on the home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a>, there were two hits in the inning.

1248
02:09:56,000 --> 02:10:06,000
No errors and no one left on base and the score at the end of nine, the Giants four, the Mets four.

1249
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:09,000
Well, this has been a tremendous ball game.

1250
02:10:09,000 --> 02:10:12,000
Last night it's the same thing as the Mets won five to four.

1251
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:17,000
Mets scoring three runs in the ninth inning and then holding the Giants at bay in the ninth.

1252
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:21,000
Here the Giants have tied it up and we go to the top of the tenth inning.

1253
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:26,000
Frank Lindsay is coming in the pitch for the Giants.

1254
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:29,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/juan-marichal/>Juan Marichal</a> once again getting off of the hook.

1255
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:31,000
The Mets have never been able to beat him.

1256
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:39,000
They have had him out of ball games twice, but the Giants have come back to get him off the hook.

1257
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:41,000
And here one more time.

1258
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:46,000
So the Mets now have lost their chance to pick up a win against Marichal.

1259
02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:59,000
They'll have to pick up their win if they're going to do it against Frank Lindsay, a right-hand relief pitcher.

1260
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:01,000
Lindsay is making his 48th appearance.

1261
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:09,000
He has a record of six wins and ten losses.

1262
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:16,000
Mets will have <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> as their leadoff batter.

1263
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:35,000
He'll be followed by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> and then <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a>.

1264
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:40,000
A lot of moments like these that make baseball the kind of a game it is.

1265
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:49,000
Two strikes away or one pitch away from winning the ball game and the next thing you know you're playing some more.

1266
02:11:49,000 --> 02:11:51,000
Tremendous home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a>.

1267
02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:55,000
The ball was hit way beyond the left field fence on a 3-1 pitch.

1268
02:11:55,000 --> 02:12:00,000
Miller was pitching very dangerously to him as he had thrown him some high curve balls.

1269
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:10,000
Hart hit a high fast ball out of the ballpark.

1270
02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:16,000
Some changes in the lineup for the Giants.

1271
02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:27,000
The catcher is Jack Hyatt who was a pinch hitter taking over for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-haller/>Tom Haller</a>.

1272
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:32,000
Correction on that, the catcher is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-barton/>Bob Barton</a> taking over for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-haller/>Tom Haller</a>.

1273
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:38,000
Okabe still at first.

1274
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:41,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a> has gone over to second base.

1275
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:46,000
Hito Fuentes is still at shortstop.

1276
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ozzie-virgil/>Ozzie Virgil</a> has taken over at third base.

1277
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:51,000
Allu is in left field.

1278
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:54,000
Mays in center field.

1279
02:12:54,000 --> 02:13:01,000
And Henderson is in right field.

1280
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:10,000
And Frank Lindsay with his first pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> that's taken outside ball one.

1281
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:12,000
Lindsay's last appearance was against the Cubs.

1282
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:15,000
His action then was a two inning stint.

1283
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:17,000
He gave up two hits, no runs.

1284
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:20,000
Right hander back again and the pitch has taken low ball two.

1285
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:35,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1286
02:13:35,000 --> 02:13:52,000
Now a strike is called. It's two balls, one strike.

1287
02:13:52,000 --> 02:14:12,000
And the next pitch is called strike two. It's two balls and two strikes.

1288
02:14:12,000 --> 02:14:16,000
And the next pitch is sliced foul so the count remains two balls and two strikes.

1289
02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:35,000
We're in the top of the tenth of a tie ball game four to four.

1290
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:38,000
And again a two-two and again a foul ball.

1291
02:14:38,000 --> 02:14:56,000
So <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> keeps the count going along at two balls and two strikes.

1292
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:59,000
Now he tries again and Harrelson grounds it right through the middle.

1293
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:01,000
It's going to be a base hit.

1294
02:15:01,000 --> 02:15:06,000
Ball partially slowed down by Fuentes but Harrelson gets a base hit as the ball is picked up by

1295
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:09,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> in center field and he stays at first.

1296
02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:15,000
So once again the Mets get some action going.

1297
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:20,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> his second hit in the ball game.

1298
02:15:20,000 --> 02:15:31,000
And now the batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a>.

1299
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:38,000
Chuck has had one hit in four times up.

1300
02:15:38,000 --> 02:15:44,000
Pittsburgh scored three runs in the top of the seventh to take the lead against the Dodgers by a five to three margin.

1301
02:15:44,000 --> 02:15:49,000
Elroy Faces pitching in the seventh inning. Tommy Cisk out of the ball game.

1302
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:52,000
Regan now in the ball game in the seventh inning for the Dodgers.

1303
02:15:52,000 --> 02:15:54,000
Chargel Fairley and Clendenin home runs.

1304
02:15:54,000 --> 02:16:00,000
The three runs coming on Clendenin. Three-run home run in the seventh.

1305
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:05,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ozzie-virgil/>Ozzie Virgil</a> charging from third base got pretty close to the batter and then time was called.

1306
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:07,000
Now Lindsay sets up on the pitching mound.

1307
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:13,000
The runner at first and the first pitch is Bunnett Fowle at strike one.

1308
02:16:13,000 --> 02:16:19,000
Ball glancing off the bat at <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a> and going back over the shoulder of the catcher <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-barton/>Bob Barton</a>.

1309
02:16:19,000 --> 02:16:22,000
Four-four ball game. Both sides with 11 hits.

1310
02:16:22,000 --> 02:16:28,000
The Giants tying the ball game up in the bottom half of the ninth with two men out on the home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a>.

1311
02:16:28,000 --> 02:16:32,000
It was his 33rd home run of the year.

1312
02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:37,000
It was also his big ball against the Mets.

1313
02:16:37,000 --> 02:16:39,000
Funnett out toward the pitcher's mound.

1314
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:44,000
Hiller has thrown out at first base on the sacrifice as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> goes down to second.

1315
02:16:44,000 --> 02:16:49,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-davenport/>Jim Davenport</a> taking the throw at first base.

1316
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:57,000
That brings up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a>.

1317
02:16:57,000 --> 02:17:01,000
Ken has had one hit home run in the sixth inning and four times up.

1318
02:17:01,000 --> 02:17:24,000
He has hit in ten consecutive ball games.

1319
02:17:24,000 --> 02:17:44,000
And the first pitch to Boyer is outside on low. It's ball one.

1320
02:17:44,000 --> 02:17:50,000
That home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a> is ninth against the Mets this year.

1321
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:57,000
Only one other hitter has done better and that was <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-stargell/>Willie Stargell</a> who hit ten against the Mets.

1322
02:17:57,000 --> 02:18:09,000
Now time is called. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-barton/>Bob Barton</a> called out to the mound by Frank Lindsay.

1323
02:18:09,000 --> 02:18:22,000
Barton back behind the plate to give the sign. Time back in.

1324
02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:30,000
And now Frank's next pitch to the plate is low again. It's ball two. Two balls, no strikes.

1325
02:18:30,000 --> 02:18:42,000
And Daniel warming up in the bullpen for the Giants.

1326
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:45,000
Lindsay sets again. Harrelson at second base.

1327
02:18:45,000 --> 02:18:54,000
And the next pitch is over. Two balls, one strike.

1328
02:18:54,000 --> 02:19:01,000
Dodgers out in the bottom half of the seventh. The Pirates lead by a score of five to three.

1329
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:06,000
Going to the top of the eighth inning.

1330
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:34,000
Now the 2-1 delivery. Swung on and missed. Two balls, two strikes.

1331
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:38,000
Lindsay working extremely slowly.

1332
02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:15,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-johnson/>Frank Johnson</a> loosening up for the Giants. He has a strong arm and outfielded.

1333
02:20:15,000 --> 02:20:20,000
Two-two pitch again and again fouled off.

1334
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:27,000
Boyer fooled in the pitch but getting a piece of the ball to foul it off and keep the count at two balls and two strikes.

1335
02:20:27,000 --> 02:20:31,000
Mets have a go-ahead run at second base. But Harrelson is there.

1336
02:20:31,000 --> 02:20:37,000
He singles through the middle for sacrifice to second base by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/chuck-hiller/>Chuck Hiller</a>.

1337
02:20:37,000 --> 02:20:43,000
Now it's <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> with one man out in the top of the tenth inning.

1338
02:20:43,000 --> 02:20:49,000
And a two-two again. A foul ball. This one coming over toward the left side.

1339
02:20:49,000 --> 02:20:52,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ozzie-virgil/>Ozzie Virgil</a>, a long run, but he couldn't catch up to it.

1340
02:20:52,000 --> 02:21:03,000
Ozzie in the third base for the Giants.

1341
02:21:03,000 --> 02:21:20,000
Boyer got his 14th home run in the sixth inning.

1342
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:34,000
Once again Lindsay sets up and the two-two pitch. It's over. Call strike three.

1343
02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:37,000
That's Lindsay's first strikeout, his second out here in the tenth.

1344
02:21:37,000 --> 02:21:40,000
And now the Mets have Al Luplo coming up.

1345
02:21:40,000 --> 02:21:43,000
Al has had two home runs and four times up.

1346
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:53,000
It's his home run in the eighth inning with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> on at third base to put the Mets in front by a score of four to three.

1347
02:21:53,000 --> 02:21:59,000
In the sixth after Boyer hit his home run, Al got one right behind him.

1348
02:21:59,000 --> 02:22:09,000
He now has seven on the season, three of them off Warren Marichal and four against the Giants.

1349
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:14,000
Luplo's going to be walked intentionally and the first pitch is outside at ball one.

1350
02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:20,000
The Giants are going to take their chances with Eddie Cranepool.

1351
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:26,000
Next pitch is ball two. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> at second base.

1352
02:22:26,000 --> 02:22:31,000
And with two men out, the Giants would rather pitch to Cranepool than Al Luplo.

1353
02:22:31,000 --> 02:22:40,000
Now the next pitch, ball three.

1354
02:22:40,000 --> 02:22:44,000
And ball four. And that is the first walk of the ball game for the Mets.

1355
02:22:44,000 --> 02:22:47,000
Warren Marichal had worked nine innings without a walk.

1356
02:22:47,000 --> 02:22:55,000
While he was in the ball game, he struck out tenth.

1357
02:22:55,000 --> 02:23:03,000
And so with the situation with runners at first and second, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/frank-johnson/>Frank Johnson</a> is being put in in left field in place of Jesus Lu.

1358
02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:20,000
Take advantage of his strong throwing arm.

1359
02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:26,000
And at the top of the tenth inning, the score of four to four, the Mets with runners at first and second, and now Eddie Cranepool the batter.

1360
02:23:26,000 --> 02:23:33,000
Eddie has had four hits and four times up. Three of his hits have been infield hits.

1361
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:37,000
His average now at 251.

1362
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:40,000
Breeze blowing out toward right field.

1363
02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:47,000
And the first pitch by Lindsay is just outside the ball.

1364
02:23:47,000 --> 02:23:56,000
Eddie with his four for four raising his average seven points today.

1365
02:23:56,000 --> 02:23:58,000
Now Lindsay sets again.

1366
02:23:58,000 --> 02:24:02,000
And his pitch back to the plate is outside again. It's ball two.

1367
02:24:02,000 --> 02:24:10,000
Two balls and no strikes. And with the count going up there, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> puts some rosin on his hand.

1368
02:24:10,000 --> 02:24:14,000
He's in the on deck circle.

1369
02:24:14,000 --> 02:24:19,000
This is a struggle for the Giants. They have to win this ball game.

1370
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:22,000
Mets doing everything they can to keep them from winning.

1371
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:24,000
Now Brown ball hit down to short.

1372
02:24:24,000 --> 02:24:33,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cleon-jones/>Cleon Jones</a> has it. He throws over to Davenport covering the second base for the fourth play to retire the side.

1373
02:24:33,000 --> 02:24:36,000
In the inning, no runs, one hit.

1374
02:24:36,000 --> 02:24:39,000
No errors, a walk which was intentional.

1375
02:24:39,000 --> 02:24:40,000
And two men left on.

1376
02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:44,000
And the score through nine and a half innings, the Mets four, the Giants four.

1377
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:53,000
If you ever stop to think of how many lonesome travelers there are here in Yonder, and how thirsty they get.

1378
02:24:53,000 --> 02:24:57,000
Well I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler.

1379
02:24:57,000 --> 02:25:01,000
I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler.

1380
02:25:01,000 --> 02:25:04,000
I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler.

1381
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:08,000
I've been traveling on.

1382
02:25:08,000 --> 02:25:11,000
I've traveled here and then I've traveled here.

1383
02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:21,000
From California to New York, the American folk singer travels here and Yonder carrying with him the music of the whole world and its peoples.

1384
02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:31,000
And sometimes when the traveling gets thirsty, he puts down his guitar and accompanies himself with a cold beer, maybe Rheingold.

1385
02:25:31,000 --> 02:25:41,000
In New York City, where more songs and travelers stop than anywhere else in the world, more people buy Rheingold extra dry than any other beer.

1386
02:25:41,000 --> 02:25:43,000
How come?

1387
02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:45,000
Maybe it's the Oregon hops we use.

1388
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:47,000
Who knows?

1389
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:50,000
But we must be doing something right.

1390
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:57,000
Traveling on.

1391
02:25:57,000 --> 02:26:03,000
Here's the bottom half of the 10th inning. The score tied 4-4 and the Giants coming up.

1392
02:26:03,000 --> 02:26:09,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a> will lead off for the Giants. He'll be followed by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a>.

1393
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:16,000
Henderson, a right hand batter against left hand pitching, has had one hit in four times up.

1394
02:26:16,000 --> 02:26:20,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a>, the pitcher in the mound, the first pitcher's running out toward third.

1395
02:26:20,000 --> 02:26:25,000
Boyer breaking in, comes up with the ball, throws the first base in time for the out.

1396
02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:40,000
And Boyer, immediately breaking in as he saw Henderson move out the bunch, made a fine play on the ball to pick up the first out, and now the batter will be <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a>.

1397
02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:53,000
Mays is all for four.

1398
02:26:53,000 --> 02:27:01,000
Miller came in the ball game in the eighth inning, retired the side and ordered in the eighth, got two men out in the ninth inning, and then gave up a home run.

1399
02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:04,000
Defense hitter <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a> would side up the game.

1400
02:27:04,000 --> 02:27:20,000
Now working with one out in the bottom half of the 10th. His first pitch to Mays is low and away. It's ball one.

1401
02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:25,000
Miller back again and the pitch is high, a slider that was up about shoulder high.

1402
02:27:25,000 --> 02:27:35,000
Mays started to go and then held off. It's two balls, no strikes.

1403
02:27:35,000 --> 02:27:40,000
Both sides with four runs, both sides with 11 hits.

1404
02:27:40,000 --> 02:27:49,000
Now Miller back again and the pitch is fouled off. Mays with a hard swing and the ball going back out of play.

1405
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:55,000
Down at two balls and one strike.

1406
02:27:55,000 --> 02:28:02,000
And the bullpen for the Mets, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jack-hamilton/>Jack Hamilton</a>, left-hander Bill Hefler.

1407
02:28:02,000 --> 02:28:11,000
Starting pitcher was Dennis Ribon. He worked six innings, was charged with three runs, gave up seven hits.

1408
02:28:11,000 --> 02:28:19,000
Next pitch to Mays is flying down the left-field line up eight-six. Coming over to cut it off is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a>. He makes a fine play and throws in.

1409
02:28:19,000 --> 02:28:28,000
And Mays stays at first. That ball lying down in the left-field corner and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a> hustling over to cut it off for a single.

1410
02:28:28,000 --> 02:28:44,000
Next is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> who has had two home runs and three official times up.

1411
02:28:44,000 --> 02:29:00,000
McCovey with his 31st and 32nd home runs in the fourth and fifth innings stepping in the batter's box. Batting at 299 and the first pitch is a curve that's outside for a ball.

1412
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:07,000
Mays at first base.

1413
02:29:07,000 --> 02:29:14,000
He has a good-sized lead. Miller watching, now going to first base. Mays gets back.

1414
02:29:14,000 --> 02:29:19,000
Mays has had five stolen bases in six tries.

1415
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:24,000
And he leads off with a good-sized lead. The pitch to play has swung on and missed.

1416
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:34,000
Hard swing by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> on a curve ball. The count one-and-one.

1417
02:29:34,000 --> 02:29:41,000
Well, the first game between these two teams this year going 17 innings. The Giants winning on a home run by Davenport.

1418
02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:51,000
Now this one in the bottom half of the tenth, the last game between these two teams. Again a throw to first base. Mays back.

1419
02:29:51,000 --> 02:29:58,000
That's a 1-9 of the 17 games played so far. Now picks to McCovey, a swing and a miss.

1420
02:29:58,000 --> 02:30:06,000
And the bat knocking the ball out of the hand of Johnny Stevenson on the back-lash. And Mays goes down to second.

1421
02:30:06,000 --> 02:30:15,000
McCovey with the back-lash going all the way around, hits the back of Johnny Stevenson's right hand and it knocked the ball out of his glove.

1422
02:30:15,000 --> 02:30:28,000
Now West Westrom is coming out to talk with the home plate umpire Harry Wendelstad.

1423
02:30:28,000 --> 02:30:35,000
At the same time checking out Johnny Stevenson, see if he is all right.

1424
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:44,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a>, after missing the ball completely and the bat going all the way around, hits the back of the right hand of Johnny Stevenson, knocking the ball out.

1425
02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:55,000
The Giants have the winning run at second base with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> there and one out.

1426
02:30:55,000 --> 02:31:01,000
Stevenson given a couple of balls to throw to see if his hand is all right.

1427
02:31:01,000 --> 02:31:06,000
And he checks out okay.

1428
02:31:06,000 --> 02:31:17,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> going to second base.

1429
02:31:17,000 --> 02:31:22,000
Now time is called and Stevenson is called out for the mound by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a>.

1430
02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:28,000
We'll pause for station identification. This is the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/new-york-mets/1966/overview/>New York Mets</a> baseball network.

1431
02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:39,000
And this is your station for sports in the great northeast, WGY Schenectady.

1432
02:31:39,000 --> 02:31:46,000
Now time is in. The count one and two on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> and the pitch the plate is swung on and fouled.

1433
02:31:46,000 --> 02:31:54,000
Ralph Keiner along with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-murphy/>Bob Murphy</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lindsey-nelson/>Lindsey Nelson</a> from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/candlestick-park-i/>Candlestick Park</a>.

1434
02:31:54,000 --> 02:32:09,000
Score tied at 4-4, bottom half of the 10th inning, the Giants batting and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> is at second base.

1435
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:38,000
The next pitch is hit deep to right field. It's going, going, going, gone and the ballgame is over.

1436
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:47,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> with a long home run to right field, his third in the ballgame and the Giants win it by scoring two runs in the bottom half of the 10th.

1437
02:32:47,000 --> 02:32:58,000
Two runs on two hits, there were no errors and no one left on base and the Giants coming back, win the ballgame with a run that tied up on the ninth and two runs in the 10th inning.

1438
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:08,000
For <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a>, his 33rd home run of the year and it sends the Mets back from San Francisco with a very, very tough defeat.

1439
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:24,000
A big win for the Giants as they win a game they had to win and they did it with a home run back.

1440
02:33:24,000 --> 02:33:32,000
This was probably one of the most exciting ballgames that the Mets have played, although in last night's ballgame you could have said the same thing,

1441
02:33:32,000 --> 02:33:43,000
which only indicates the tremendous baseball that the Mets and Giants have played here in the last two ballgames and also throughout the year.

1442
02:33:43,000 --> 02:33:50,000
The win by the Giants gives them an even break in the overall season series, Mets 29 and the Giants 29.

1443
02:33:50,000 --> 02:33:57,000
Here in San Francisco the Mets won five of the nine-game play.

1444
02:33:57,000 --> 02:34:00,000
The home run was a big part of the play today.

1445
02:34:00,000 --> 02:34:06,000
The Mets had two home runs from Malouklo, his sixth and seventh in the sixth and eighth inning.

1446
02:34:06,000 --> 02:34:10,000
His home run in the eighth inning put him in the Mets in front by a score of four to three.

1447
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:14,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> had hit his 14th in the sixth inning.

1448
02:34:14,000 --> 02:34:22,000
So the Mets getting a total of three home runs which was handled very nicely by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> as he personally accounted for three home runs.

1449
02:34:22,000 --> 02:34:28,000
But the big home run of the ballgame was the home run by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a> that was in the ninth inning that tied out the ballgame.

1450
02:34:28,000 --> 02:34:33,000
With <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a> on the mound in the ninth inning, Jack Hyatt slide out the right field.

1451
02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:37,000
That gave the Mets their first out in the bottom half of the ninth.

1452
02:34:37,000 --> 02:34:39,000
The next batter was <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/cap-peterson/>Cap Peterson</a>.

1453
02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:50,000
He doubled the left center field and when he tried to stretch it into a triple he was thrown out on a great play going from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/johnny-lewis/>Johnny Lewis</a> to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a>.

1454
02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:58,000
Mets on that break had their second out and they were only one out away from giving the Giants a very disastrous loss.

1455
02:34:58,000 --> 02:35:00,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a> then was put up for a pinch hitter.

1456
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:03,000
He had been devastating against the Mets all year.

1457
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:06,000
He had hit eight previous home runs against the Mets.

1458
02:35:06,000 --> 02:35:14,000
He worked the count down to three balls and no strikes, took a strike, and then hit a 3-1 fastball way over the wall in left field to tie up the ballgame.

1459
02:35:14,000 --> 02:35:18,000
Bunzies then fouled out and we went to the top of the tenth.

1460
02:35:18,000 --> 02:35:21,000
Mets in the tenth inning threatened but could not score.

1461
02:35:21,000 --> 02:35:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bud-harrelson/>Bud Harrelson</a> got his second base into the ballgame, a single through the middle.

1462
02:35:25,000 --> 02:35:28,000
He was sacrificed to second base.

1463
02:35:28,000 --> 02:35:31,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> was then called out on strikes.

1464
02:35:31,000 --> 02:35:35,000
And then Al Lupo who had had two previous home runs was walked intentionally.

1465
02:35:35,000 --> 02:35:38,000
That's what runners at first and second left it up to Eddie Crane Bull.

1466
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:51,000
Eddie had had four hits in his four previous times up, three of them infield hits, and he hit one off the end of the bat down to short where Fuentes fielded the ball and threw over to second base for the fourth play that retired the side.

1467
02:35:51,000 --> 02:35:57,000
In the tenth inning, the Giants won it after <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-henderson/>Ken Henderson</a> was out on a fine play by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/ken-boyer/>Ken Boyer</a> on a bunt.

1468
02:35:57,000 --> 02:36:03,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mays/>Willie Mays</a> singled and then moved down to second base on a free pass ball play.

1469
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:10,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/willie-mccovey/>Willie McCovey</a> hit a curve ball out down the right field line and won the ballgame for the Giants by a score of 6-4.

1470
02:36:10,000 --> 02:36:22,000
While Marishaw was at one time in the ballgame on the losing side of the record, if <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-ray-hart/>Jim Ray Hart</a> had not hit his home run, Marishaw would have absorbed his first loss against the Mets.

1471
02:36:22,000 --> 02:36:24,000
He had won 17.

1472
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:25,000
He was not the winning pitcher.

1473
02:36:25,000 --> 02:36:26,000
Frank Lindsay was the winning pitcher.

1474
02:36:26,000 --> 02:36:28,000
It was his seventh win against 10 losses.

1475
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:31,000
He was in the ballgame in relief and worked one inning.

1476
02:36:31,000 --> 02:36:39,000
The starting pitcher for the Mets was Dennis Rivent, and the losing pitcher was <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-miller/>Larry Miller</a>, his record now 0-2.

1477
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:47,000
So a fine ballgame closing out the series between the Mets and Giants this year with each team winning nine.

1478
02:36:47,000 --> 02:36:48,000
The line scored the ballgame.

1479
02:36:48,000 --> 02:36:50,000
The Giants six runs on 13 hits.

1480
02:36:50,000 --> 02:36:51,000
They made one error.

1481
02:36:51,000 --> 02:36:56,000
The Mets four runs, 11 hits, and no errors.

1482
02:36:56,000 --> 02:37:06,000
And that's Mets baseball for today brought to you by Reingold, New York City's largest selling beer.

1483
02:37:06,000 --> 02:37:08,000
What a remarkable thing that is.

1484
02:37:08,000 --> 02:37:17,000
In New York, a city of so many different people with different tastes, one beer has become the favorite, Reingold Extra Dry.

1485
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:22,000
Now they don't know why so many people like their beer, but they must be doing something right.

1486
02:37:22,000 --> 02:37:28,000
Today's game also was brought to you by WGY, the sports station for the Great Northeast.

1487
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:35,000
