00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The beautiful Bush Stadium in St. Louis where the National League season is scheduled on today, but you never know.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The St. Louis Cardinals against the New York Mets.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Galen Sisco for the Mets and Kurt Simmons for the St. Louis Cardinals.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
And our guest on the dugout show, one of the great men of baseball, the manager of the Mets, Casey Stengel.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
You'll hear from Casey in just one moment.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
For the hills, for shoes, with staff.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Self-service.

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Our guest on the dugout show, Mets manager Casey Stengel.

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Casey, I'm sure that you realize everybody in the world of sports is happy to hear that you're going to be back as manager next year.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Yes, that's true. I have received many, many telegrams of friends that have been calling for me most all my life from a baseball standpoint since.

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:04,000
You know, that are interested in my years as a player and I would say managerial career.

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:19,000
I'd have to say that that was for a number of people that are elderly and that had seen me play baseball and also saw that I was rather successful as a manager in a number of years.

14
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
You never lose your enthusiasm for the game.

15
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
You get older like everybody else gets older too for that matter, but you never lose your zest, Casey.

16
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Well, no, I feel healthy enough. I'm strong enough. I'm quick enough.

17
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:41,000
If you feel all right, you ought to stay managing and if you are a man that doesn't feel well, you shouldn't stay managing in the major leagues.

18
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
You should decide, let somebody else do it because a well man always does a better job.

19
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Casey, going into a series like this with one of the teams fighting for a penalty, did you give your team any pep talk before the series started?

20
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Well, I did the first day we went over the hitters. Naturally, you should do that. You should try to win every day that you've been in the league.

21
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
And up to this year, we've had so many difficulties to play a number of the teams.

22
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:20,000
The only team that I think that we bothered was Cincinnati. In the last series, Cincinnati came in and caught us playing very poor baseball.

23
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:29,000
And they actually put them back in the pennant race. And then when they come here to St. Louis, this club here is a good baseball club, well managed.

24
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
And the players are terrific players.

25
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:44,000
I believe that in this series, the first game, it was just unfortunate that hard hit balls were caught by my receivers and the pitcher Jackson pitched two marvelous a game when it was one to nothing.

26
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:55,000
The game yesterday, everybody knows that the Cardinals had an off day and you can't catch, the pitching had to be poor because you can't go up into the grandstand and catch the ball.

27
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
And therefore, that's where they were handicapped just now.

28
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Casey, in all your years, can you remember a race where three teams went into the final day with a chance?

29
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:17,000
No, I have been in one game in one year. I think it was 49 when I was with the Yankees in which the Red Sox were a game ahead of me.

30
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:24,000
And then we evened it up and we took two, we had to play a series, we took two out of three and just nosed them out of the pennant.

31
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Casey, which of these three teams are still fighting it out for the pennant do you think would have the best chance against the Yankees in the World Series?

32
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Well, to tell you the truth, I think that all three clubs will only be handicapped with one thing and that's the fact that they've had to extend their pitching staff too much at the end of a season.

33
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Now, that really could affect the National League club. But I honestly believe that your club here at St. Louis will give them a splendid battle because you're skilled in a number of ways and have speed.

34
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:10,000
And I think Cincinnati would do a splendid job in the World Series. I really figure that that just would be great if they could have four or five days rest, or rest their pitching staff.

35
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Especially if there's a playoff, then the Yankees ought to be in a great shape.

36
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Well, if there's a playoff, yes, they'd get the rest maybe too long, although they don't allow you to rest too long. They make you work out every day of the World Series and keep you on edge.

37
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Casey, do you see the Mets coming out of the wilderness for next year?

38
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Well, yes, I do in some ways. We get more home runs than we did last year or the year before. We got younger personnel on the team. I think McMillan has helped our ball club at shortstop.

39
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:53,000
He's kept our pitching better. And I think that Hunt is a very good ball player. He was voted by the ball players as the best second baseman for this season.

40
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:04,000
And I honestly believe that Hickman is a very good man and capable in the outfield. He can hit balls distance. Christopher now is a much better batter than he ever was in his life.

41
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:15,000
He used to only play against right-handed pitching, I mean left-handed pitching. And now I think he's very splendid. He can hit some of the right-handed pitches better than anybody that's on our staff.

42
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
I would have to say that he's a much improved batter.

43
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Casey, it's a challenge to a ball club who's not in the race to be able to play one of the contenders and have a hand in deciding who wins it.

44
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Well, yes, you know, but you really have to go out there and put the man, I suppose, when he signs the contract to play until the last day and the ninth inning.

45
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:51,000
And that's the reason why our club maybe at this year time is doing very good. We lost two games in Milwaukee, I thought, because we didn't have the ability.

46
00:05:51,000 --> 00:06:00,000
But I think here, Jackson, just was a little too great to allow your club to get on basis and handicap it.

47
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Casey, a million thanks for this chat and continued success to you. And last time I mentioned it, I was going to give you a bull of a 17-jewel watch that told you the time of the day and the time of the month.

48
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000
You also asked me to tell you the time to take your picture out, and I hope you have to take several pictures out today.

49
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
That's good. If I was you, I'd have that same thing.

50
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Okay.

51
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:31,000
The error presented by Bush for various age longer for natural combination and full body.

52
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Get to know Bush for area gets an old flavor.

53
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
And by the American Tobacco Company.

54
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Makers of Salmonella, famous cigarettes for those who are particular about taste.

55
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Now, it's time for St. Louis Cardinals, Lake Road.

56
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000
A beautiful baseball day in St. Louis. Hello again, everybody.

57
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:18,000
This is Harry Carey with Jerry Gross with Roy May in Cincinnati on the final day of the baseball season, maybe a perfect day for baseball.

58
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:26,000
The Cardinals who are tied for first place with the Cincinnati Reds, one game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies who play the Reds in Cincinnati today.

59
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000
It'll be Cisco for the Mets today, Simmons for the Cardinals.

60
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Let's quickly go to Cincinnati and Roy May to see what the pitching situation is over there.

61
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Thank you, Harry, and good afternoon, everyone. In Cincinnati, it's a gorgeous day, bright, sunny, shining, the temperature in the 60s.

62
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:55,000
The two starting pitchers are warming up far below us. Jim Bunning for the Phillies, his record 18-8, and another right-hander, John Sartoros, for the Reds.

63
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Sartoros' record is 9-12. We're going to have a capacity crowd here, and there's a lot of excitement in the air in Cincinnati, as I'm sure there is in St. Louis, Harry.

64
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,000
All right, fine, Roy, we'll be coming back to you. So you got the situation there.

65
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:20,000
There's a surprise we thought maybe Maloney would pitch for the Reds, but John Sartoros, who shut the Phillies out one-to-nothing last week in Philadelphia, will be pitching for Cincinnati.

66
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,000
And here it'll be Kurt Simmons pitching for the Cardinals, and Gail and Cisco for the New York Mets.

67
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
And we'll be back with the starting lineups and then the exciting play-by-play in just one moment.

68
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:51,000
When the day's been tough and the going's been hard, and brother you just rested and you need a reward, well gather our friends and neighbor and friend, the time is surely here.

69
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Joyful tapping good-bye to the Bush from Ashland, New York. This is Kyle Smith. I'd like to tell you friends that you just peeped by a better beer.

70
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Yes, sir Bush is H. Moe for natural carbonation, and my darling good buddy Bush is rude the way that beer was meant to be brewed, the natural way.

71
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:37,000
So get Bush, it's so tapping good. So enjoy cool tapping good-bye with this Bavarian beer, with this Bavarian beer.

72
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:44,000
The umpires are coming down the line in a moment. Johnny Keene, the Cardinal Manager, Kasey Stengel, the New York Met manager,

73
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,000
who is our guest on the Dugout Show, will be coming out to exchange the official batting orders.

74
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Here now to give you the lineups for today's game and bring you up to date is Jerry Gross.

75
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:01,000
All right, Harry, thank you very muchThe wind we might mention right now is blowing from the left field corner toward the right field line,

76
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000
and it would help a ball hit up toward the right field bleachers out toward center possibly blow it out.

77
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
It could be a big factor in this afternoon's ball game.

78
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:17,000
A look at the lineups in the ball game for Kasey Stengel's Mets leading off, and at second base it will be Bobby Klaus.

79
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Klaus in the leadoff position. Macmillan, Roy Macmillan, will hit second. He'll be the shortstop.

80
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Batting third and a man who has ripped us all year long, Joe Christopher, the right-handed hitting right fielder in this afternoon's game.

81
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Batting in the cleanup spot, it will be Jim Hickman, Hickman of former Cardinal.

82
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Hickman will be in center field. He'll hit cleanup. In the fifth spot, the third baseman, Charlie Smith.

83
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Smith batting fifth down at third. Bob Taylor, the hawk will be the catcher for Stengel's Mets.

84
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000
He'll be catching Galen Sisco. Taylor batting sixth, working behind the plate.

85
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Ed Cranepool, who has really hurt us in this series so far and hurt us all year long, as Harry has mentioned, batting seventh.

86
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Cranepool will be the first baseman. And George Altman in left field.

87
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Altman hitting eighth in the order out in left.

88
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Galen Sisco with a record of six victories and 18 setbacks will start on the mound for Stengel's crew,

89
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
his record against the Redbirds this year, one victory and one setback.

90
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
His earned run average on the season, 3.45.

91
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:31,000
So Sisco, the right-hander, warming up down the right-field line prior to the ballgame.

92
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Simmons already has concluded his warmups to our left, down the left-field lineup.

93
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
And let's now take a look at the Cardinals' starting lineup.

94
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Manager Johnny Keene will go with Kirk Flood, leading off in center.

95
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Lou Brock out in left field, batting second. White will hit third, he'll be at first.

96
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,000
There go the Cardinals in the final game of the regular season, 1964.

97
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Captain Kenny Boyer will be hitting cleanup at third.

98
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
That's sixth, or rather fifth, and will be a shortstop.

99
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Tim McCarver will be catching Mike Shannon out in right field.

100
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Dal Maxwell playing in place of the injured Julian Javier.

101
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000
We heard his back in the ballgame yesterday.

102
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Dal Maxwell will have the job at second base, he'll be batting eighth.

103
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
And Kirk Simmons is out on the mound to start for the Cardinals.

104
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
He's 18 and 9, one and two against the Mets.

105
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Right now, the capacity crowd our national anthem.

106
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Great crowd on hand, Marty Bronson singing the national anthem.

107
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Before we give you the play-by-play, we'll take ten seconds for station identification.

108
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000
This is the Cardinals' baseball network.

109
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000
KMO-X and KMO-XFM, St. Louis.

110
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Red weather brings mosquitoes out.

111
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Repel mosquitoes with camoside repellent to save repellent.

112
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Camoside with full-way repellent action.

113
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
This is Jerry Gross with Harry Carrey back at Busch Stadium.

114
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
The wind, 16 miles an hour, blowing out from left field the line toward the right field line.

115
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,000
We're set to go with the final game of the regular season, and here to bring you all the exciting action,

116
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
The voice of the Cardinals, here's Harry Carrey.

117
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Okay, Jerry, a beautiful day, and we're all set to go.

118
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Kurt Simmons, who has pitched good ball against the Mets all year long,

119
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000
and Galen Sisco, who has done likewise against the St. Louis Cardinals.

120
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Simmons has won one and lost two.

121
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:01,000
He lost to the Mets 4-3 on a two-out, ninth inning home run, July the 9th,

122
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
and 3-2 on July 19th here in St. Louis.

123
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
He beat the Mets 2-1, September the 22nd in New York.

124
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Galen Sisco lost to the Cardinals 5-1, May the 9th, beat them 2-1 on September the 23rd.

125
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000
A tough right-hander who always has pitched well against the Cardinals.

126
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Eddie Vargo, the playdump bar, we're all set to go.

127
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Well, let's see if everybody's equipped with their transistors.

128
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
You got transistors around?

129
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Okay, we'll keep you posted then.

130
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,000
The one left to go on here is Bobby Klaus, hitting 2-21,

131
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,000
four homers and 16 runs about it in.

132
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Kurt Simmons gets ready to win, as Jerry told you, blowing strongly towards right field.

133
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Here's the pitch on the left, and it's a fastball outside.

134
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
It'll be Klaus, McMillan, and Christopher here in the first.

135
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000
The Mets have won the first two games of the series.

136
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
The National League race is in a two-team tie.

137
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

138
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:10,000
It takes a strike over the outside corner, belt high, and that evens it up a ball and a strike.

139
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:17,000
The St. Louis football Cardinals lead the Washington Redskins 14-10 in the second period.

140
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
One ball, one strike.

141
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Bobby Klaus, who hit a home run yesterday.

142
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Kurt Simmons getting ready.

143
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Into the wind of the pitch on the way.

144
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000
There's a fly ball, right field.

145
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Flood way back. He's there. He's going to make the catch. He does.

146
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Oh, that ball got up into the wind, which is blowing strongly towards right field.

147
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Now, Simmons, being a left-handed pitcher, will have an advantage so far as nullifying the left-handed batters in the Met lineup.

148
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:57,000
The Cardinals will be facing a right-hander, so their left-handed batters, Brock White and McCarver, will be helped by the wind.

149
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Here's the pitch now to Ryan McMillan.

150
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,000
And it's a fastball, strike called, hit the outside corner after the knee.

151
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
One strike and no ball.

152
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Electricity in the air. You could cut over the night.

153
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
A supercharged afternoon in St. Louis.

154
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000
One strike, no ballThe wind up, the pitch on the way. Here it is.

155
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Strike two called. Fastball after the knee.

156
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
A lot of possibilities.

157
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000
The Cardinals could win the pennant today.

158
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
The Cardinals could lose the pennant today.

159
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
The Cardinals could finish in a two-way tie today.

160
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000
The Cardinals could finish in a three-way tie today.

161
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Two strikes, no ballsThe pitch on the way. Here it is.

162
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
A little low.

163
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,000
And outside. Two strikes and a ball.

164
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
One out on the first.

165
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Ryan McMillan, the veteran shotstop, batting 214 with one homer and 25 runs batted in.

166
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Now the wind. Here's the pitch on the way.

167
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
A bouncing ball followed on the third baseline.

168
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Wes Westrom coaching over there.

169
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Two strikes and a ball.

170
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Robinson coaching at first. Westrom at third.

171
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
One out, nobody onThe ball game at the top of the first inning.

172
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Here's Simmons winding the pitches on the way.

173
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Sloak Kerr fouled back out of play into the stands. First souvenir of the day.

174
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Two strikes and a ball.

175
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
The Yankees quenched their pennant yesterday.

176
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,000
They know they're going to be in the World Series, but the National League doesn't know yet.

177
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Any one of three ball clubs might play the Yankees.

178
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Two strikes and a ball. One out, nobody on.

179
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000
McMillan to hit it.

180
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Here's Simmons into the windup. Here's the pitch on the way.

181
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
It's a little bit outside.

182
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Just barely missed the strike zone.

183
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,000
The Phils went down in order in the top of the first at Cincinnati.

184
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Two balls, two strikes, one out. McMillan to bat it.

185
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Now to signal Gibbett.

186
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Into the windup, here's the pitch on the way.

187
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Swing on, a little pop fly, short right field coming in for it.

188
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000
It's Shannon. He's there. He's got it.

189
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
McMillan popped to Shannon and right.

190
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
That's two out.

191
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Seems strange not to see Javier at second base, but he injured his hip yesterday.

192
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,000
And Darrell Maxwell is playing in his place.

193
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,000
In fact, Javier might be sidelined several days.

194
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Two men are out. Joe Christopher to bat it, hitting 3-0-1 with 16 homers and 76 runs about it in.

195
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Simmons gets setThe windup now, the pitch is on the way.

196
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Slow curve, he bunched down the third base line, and it's going to be a base hit.

197
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Beautiful. Bunny picked the perfect pitch.

198
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,000
On a change of pace, Christopher bunned down the third base line.

199
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
There was no play at all. It's a hit.

200
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
He'd bunned that way in the first inning yesterday and beat it out to load the bases.

201
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Simmons has won his last five decisions.

202
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Not his last, but six decisions.

203
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
But this ball club gives him trouble.

204
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Here's Jim Hickman with 11 homers and 57 RBI.

205
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000
He's batting 259.

206
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Now the stretch from the belt, the pitch. Here it is.

207
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
It's a fastball low, ball one.

208
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:37,000
One ball, but no strike.

209
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Hickman, yesterday, had a couple of hits, drove in two runs in the first inning.

210
00:20:45,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Now the stretch by Simmons, here's the pitch.

211
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,000
A capacity crowd on air.

212
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:12,000
A dramatic setting for the final game of the season. Final game, maybe.

213
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
One ball, one strike.

214
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
The stretch, the pitch.

215
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,000
A high pop fly. We're going to be out of the first inning, I think.

216
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Maxwell is out. Shannon coming in.

217
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
And he's got the ball.

218
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Hickman pops to Shannon and shot right.

219
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
One hit, no runs, no errors. One left.

220
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Now into the bottom half of the first inning, no score in the ball game.

221
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Particular about taste? You bet I'm particular. And my Pelmels prove it.

222
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Particular about taste? You bet I'm particular. And my Pelmels prove it.

223
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000
You hear it everywhere. Why?

224
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Because Pelmels natural mildness means just one thing, smooth, freezing, crisp.

225
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Particular people take particular pleasure in the good taste of Pelmels.

226
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000
The flavor's blended over, under, around, and through.

227
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:23,000
You learn that particular good taste is so get particular pleasure like particular people do.

228
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000
In the good taste of Pelmels.

229
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Be particular. Smoke a long cigarette that's long on flavor.

230
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Buy Pelmel famous cigarettes outstanding.

231
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:40,000
And they are fired from the American tobacco company.

232
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Before Kurt Flood leads off, let's go to Cincinnati. Roy, anything happening?

233
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
No score here in the bottom of the first inning. Nobody on.

234
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000
And there's one out with Chico Luis, the better.

235
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:57,000
And by the way, as in St. Louis, there's a rather stiff breeze blowing toward the right field here.

236
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
And it should be a definite help to the left-handed hitter.

237
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,000
We might see a few in the right field bleachers today.

238
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:10,000
So there, the wind condition is the same as here with the right field section having the wind advantage.

239
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,000
All right, here is Kurt Flood to lead it off, batting 311 for the season.

240
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,000
And this little fellow's had some here, 210 hits.

241
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Galen Sisto on the hill. He has won.

242
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,000
His record isn't a good one, but he pitches tough baseball.

243
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,000
He's won six, lost 18. All set to go.

244
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Former Ohio State University star.

245
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Kurt Flood with four homers and 45 runs batted in, hitting 311.

246
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Into the wind of the pitch on the way.

247
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,000
The curve ball in there, a strike called, a good overhanded curve.

248
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000
One strike and over.

249
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Bush, Bavarian, beer.

250
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Your host. What an exciting finish.

251
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Three teams with a chance to win the pennant on the final day.

252
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Here's the pitch. Curve a little bit outside. That evens it up.

253
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Again, Sisto came with the overhanded curve ball.

254
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Bob Hawk Taylor from Metropolis, Illinois, behind the plate for the Mets, goes out to talk to Galen Sisto.

255
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Right-handed batter digging in. Bernd Benson coaching at third.

256
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Joe Schultz at first.

257
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Now the sign given. One ball, one strike.

258
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Into the wind up. Here's the pitch on the way.

259
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000
It's a fastball, lowball, two. Two balls and a strike.

260
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:41,000
The wind blowing towards right field as we have to keep repeating because it might be a factor.

261
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Two balls and a strike.

262
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Galen Sisto delivers. Here it is.

263
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
There's a line drive in the center, but it's going to be caught.

264
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Hickman is there and he has it.

265
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Broad line to Hickman in center. That's one out. Here's Lou Brock.

266
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Here's a guy who could take advantage of that wind.

267
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Batting 314 with 14 homers, 58 runs out of this.

268
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Left-handed batter up there. Lou Brock, his left wrist is taped.

269
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:24,000
The wind blows strongly towards the pavilion roof.

270
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Now the wind. Here's the pitch on the way to Brock and it's low.

271
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Roy May quickly. What happened at the bottom of the first?

272
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Reds went down in order, so at the end of one there is no score here in Cincinnati.

273
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000
No score at the end of one in Cincinnati, as you heard.

274
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Here's the pitch on the way. Brock hits a base hit up the middle.

275
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
A ground ball in the center field.

276
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
And Brock is on there. He's going to try for second.

277
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Here's a throw. He's in there.

278
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Jim Hickman momentarily fumbled the ball and Brock never did hesitate.

279
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Probably be a hit in the air. That's what it is.

280
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Here's Jimmy, who's looking forward to doing his fifth World Series.

281
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,000
If the Redbirds make it, the scoreboard operator flashes the air sign.

282
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000
So we have a man in scoring position with one out.

283
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Roy Hickman with a great arm, you know.

284
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Just momentarily fumbled the ball and Brock never did hesitate.

285
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,000
That indicates there's no pressure when you can do things like that.

286
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Here's Bill White batting 302, 20 homers, 100 RBI.

287
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Listen to this crowdThe fervor is building a bird early.

288
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
The pitch too wide. Here it is.

289
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,000
A line drive to the shortstop who leaps and makes the cut.

290
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
White line to McMillan, who leaped to grab the ball.

291
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,000
And here's Boyer hitting 294.

292
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Boyer with 24 homers and 118 runs batted in.

293
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Bouting 294.

294
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:03,000
White hit his ball good, but right at McMillan, the shortstop, who leaped and grabbed it.

295
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Lou Brock in scoring position.

296
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
We're in the first inning.

297
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Gale and Sisco beat the Cardinals 2-1 the last time he faced them.

298
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Signal given.

299
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Ready for the pitch.

300
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Now the stretch and the hesitation.

301
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
And the pitch is on the way. Here it is.

302
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Whoa! Inside almost. Hit him.

303
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
One ball and no strikes.

304
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Two out in the bottom of the first.

305
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:48,000
No score.

306
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Kenny Boyer hoping to drive in the first run of the day.

307
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
There's the stretch.

308
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Sisco ready from the belt.

309
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
And here's the pitch.

310
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Inside again, he's crowding him with his fastball.

311
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000
And so it's two balls, no strikes.

312
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,000
The runner at second base, two out.

313
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Beautiful baseball afternoon in St. Louis.

314
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Boyer straddles the plate.

315
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,000
The stretch, the hesitation.

316
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
The pitch.

317
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Outside, ball three.

318
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Three and nothing now on Boyer.

319
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Takes a look at Vern Benson. They might turn him loose here.

320
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Boyer can pump that ball into the stands in either direction.

321
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Three balls, no strikes.

322
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Two out.

323
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Right-handed batter digging in.

324
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Gale and Sisco getting ready.

325
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Over the head, down to the belt. Here's the pitch.

326
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Line drive foul into the stands and left bale.

327
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
They turned him loose with three balls and no strikes.

328
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,000
And the Cardinals certainly haven't approached this game as if they're under any pressure.

329
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Brock with daring base running.

330
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Kenny Boyer allowed to hit a three and nothing pitch, which he had hard but foul.

331
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Three balls, one strike, two out.

332
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,000
A man in scoring position, first inning.

333
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Like to get out in front of these fellows once.

334
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Now the sign.

335
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:35,000
The last three games, the nets of one have all been from the Cardinals.

336
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:42,000
They beat us two to one on the 23rd in New York and then lost eight in a row

337
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,000
and then won the first two games of the series.

338
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:51,000
So the only team they have beaten in two weeks are the Cardinals.

339
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Three balls, one strike.

340
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Hawk Taylor talking to Gale and Sisco.

341
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Beautiful afternoon.

342
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Just absolutely perfect. An Indian summer day.

343
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Bright, warm, brilliant sunshine with a delightfully cool, invigorating breeze.

344
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,000
A ballpark jam packed.

345
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,000
A dramatic setting for the final game of the season.

346
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Three balls and a strike, the strikes.

347
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
And the pitch now to Boyer.

348
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Strike two, a curve ball hit the outside corner.

349
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,000
He didn't like it.

350
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:37,000
And now it's three and two.

351
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,000
That was a curve that Sisco broke overhand.

352
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
What group would be next?

353
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Boyer up there.

354
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000
A runner in scoring position in two outs.

355
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Three balls, two strikes.

356
00:30:51,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Sisco gets sucked, rock a lead.

357
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,000
The crowd anxious for a base hit.

358
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Now the stretch, the hesitation.

359
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
From the bow.

360
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
And the pitch.

361
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Before he walked in.

362
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Cardinals have runners at first and second with two outs.

363
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Here's Dick Groat who could put us out in front.

364
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Groat hitting 291.

365
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,000
With one homer and 69 runs about at it.

366
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Groat hits the ball deep in the right center.

367
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,000
And he's a homer on threat today the way the wind is blowing.

368
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:46,000
If any ball hits deep in that direction, it's going to be carried well.

369
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Now the stretch.

370
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
From the bow.

371
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
The pitch to Groat, here it is.

372
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,000
It's a strike over the outside corner at the knee.

373
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Dick Groat, veteran shot stop.

374
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Right-handed about it.

375
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Runners at first and second and two outs.

376
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Now to signal-giver.

377
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
The hesitation.

378
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
The pitch on the way.

379
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Nice foul out of plays and a whole strike too.

380
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:26,000
He was trying to go in the right field but Sisco threw the ball inside to him.

381
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Which made it difficult and he hit the ball off his fist.

382
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Mayor Tucker sitting down in the cardinal box.

383
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Mr. and Mrs. Bush.

384
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Two strikes, no balls.

385
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Right-handed hitter digging in.

386
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Kaelin Sisco ready.

387
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Now the stretch.

388
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Groat in the hole, two strikes and nothing.

389
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
The pitch from the bow.

390
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
And here it is.

391
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Oh boy, barely missed the strike zone.

392
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Anything going on quickly in Cincinnati, Roy?

393
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:15,000
There is now one man on as Captain Shockley just dropped a single in the left field.

394
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,000
There's one out and Tony Taylor will be the batter.

395
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,000
All right, so the Phillies are batting in the second inning with one on, one out.

396
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:34,000
And here it is, big groat with a count of two strikes and a ball.

397
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Signal given.

398
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Runners at first and second.

399
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Kaelin Sisco gets ready.

400
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

401
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Outside curve, ball two and the count evens at two and two.

402
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Kaelin Sisco trying to hit those corners.

403
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Just barely missed that time.

404
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Two balls, two strikes.

405
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:10,000
This fellow, once he gets you leaning, will jam you with his fastball as he did on the second strike to Groat.

406
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Two balls, two strikes.

407
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Right-handed hitter waits.

408
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Now the stretch from the bow.

409
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000
The pitch to Groat.

410
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
And here it is.

411
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
A bouncing ball this inning might be over.

412
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,000
The pitch is going to have to cover.

413
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
There's the toss and he is up.

414
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Groat bounces out from Cranepool to Sisco.

415
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,000
And it is no runs, one hit, no errors, two left.

416
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:43,000
At the end of one in St. Louis, the Phillies, the Cardinals nothing, the Mets nothing.

417
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,000
We go to the top of the second inning here.

418
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,000
And Charlie Smith, who's a home run threat.

419
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,000
He's got 17 of them this year, steps up to the plate.

420
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Batting 240 with 57 RBI.

421
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Right-handed hitter digging in.

422
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,000
No score.

423
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
We go into the second inning.

424
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Coach Simmons gets set.

425
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Into the windup, the pitch is on the way.

426
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000
There's a high pop fly going towards left field.

427
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Groat goes out, calls for the ball.

428
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
He's under it.

429
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
He's got it, went away.

430
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Charlie Smith popped a groat in short left.

431
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:37,000
One out, and that will bring out Bob Taylor, Nick Dan Hawk, from Metropolis, Illinois.

432
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Ed Cranepool would be next.

433
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Right-handed batter up there, Taylor.

434
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,000
The Cardinals are now half of the second to lead off with McCarver, Shannon, and Maxville.

435
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Here's the pitch.

436
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
It's a fastball low and away.

437
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
One ball, no strikes.

438
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Kurt Simmons, trying for his 19th victory.

439
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Now to wind the pitch.

440
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
And here it is.

441
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
It's a strike over the outside corner.

442
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
He threaded the needle that time.

443
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,000
One ball and one strike.

444
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
One man out.

445
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

446
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Slow curve outside.

447
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Two balls and a strike.

448
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Bob Taylor the hitter.

449
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,000
We're in the second inning.

450
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Now to signal given.

451
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

452
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000
There's a drive.

453
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,000
Way back, way back in the left center.

454
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,000
It may be Brock.

455
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Makes a sensational pass.

456
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Holy cow, unbelievable.

457
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Luke Brock, a backhanded shoestring catch in left center.

458
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,000
A remarkable play, two away.

459
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Holy cow, I've never seen one to match that.

460
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
He didn't seem to have a chance.

461
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,000
And the wind is blowing the other way, taking the ball away from him.

462
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,000
He just outran the ball.

463
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:15,000
A spectacular backhanded shoestring catch in deep left center while running at full speed.

464
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Here's Eddie Cranepool now.

465
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Left hand hitter.

466
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000
The wind, the pitch on the way.

467
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Line and a short center.

468
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Flood coming on.

469
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,000
He's there.

470
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:30,000
The inning is over.

471
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,000
So the Mets go down one, two, three, thanks to a remarkable play.

472
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Listen to the hand that Brock is getting as he comes in here.

473
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Listen.

474
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
And it's nothing across.

475
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,000
At the end of an inning and a half, no score in this ballgame.

476
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Keep your eyes open, friend.

477
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:59,000
If it hasn't happened yet, it's bound to happen soon.

478
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,000
You'll see a sleek, elegant new car you don't recognize.

479
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,000
You'll find yourself wondering what it is.

480
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,000
And I'll tell you right now to save you the worry.

481
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:15,000
The big, beautiful car is the all-new Mercury for 1965.

482
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:21,000
You've never seen a Mercury like this before because there's never been a Mercury like this before.

483
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:26,000
It's longer, more luxurious, clearly in the continental tradition.

484
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,000
And once you get a chance to look it over closely,

485
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:34,000
once you take it out for a test drive, you'll know right off.

486
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,000
There's nothing like it in the medium price field.

487
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:48,000
See, drive, admire the all-new Mercury for 65 at your nearest St. Louis area Mercury dealer.

488
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Just to give you an idea about the excitement that exists here.

489
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:58,000
The scoreboard man on the top of the second for the Mets made nothing.

490
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:03,000
He put the bottom of the second up before he put the top of the second up.

491
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Who's excited?

492
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
Here's McCarver to lead it off.

493
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Tim could take advantage of this breeze.

494
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:17,000
We're in the bottom half of the second inning, a game marked by a remarkable catch by Lou Brock.

495
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Now to signal-give it.

496
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000
There's the wind-up on the pitch on the left.

497
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,000
It's a curve ball into the dirt ball one.

498
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,000
One ball, no strike.

499
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,000
It's nothing, nothing at the end of one in Cincinnati.

500
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:41,000
In a moment we'll flash to Roy May over there.

501
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,000
One ball, no strike.

502
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Left-handed batter waiting. Tim McCarver, here's the pitch by Sisco.

503
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,000
It's a strike call. Quickly, Roy, anything happen in the top of the second?

504
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
We're at the end of the bottom of the second now, Harry.

505
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,000
There's still no scoreThe Rebs coming to bat with Robinson, Johnson, and Edwards.

506
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,000
All right, no score at the end of an inning and a half in Cincinnati.

507
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Tim McCarver with a count of one ball, one strike.

508
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Left-handed batter hitting 284, the pitch on the way.

509
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Ball inside, just barely missed the inside corner.

510
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Gale and Sisco pitches to good spots.

511
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Two balls and a strike. Mike Shannon will be next.

512
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Second inning, no score.

513
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:34,000
That's the way it is in Cincinnati with the Phillies and the Reds.

514
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Now the sign given, two balls, one strike.

515
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
A windup, here's the pitch on the way.

516
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,000
A hot shot, it's a ball down the left-hand line.

517
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Here's McCarver around first. He's going to go to second with a double.

518
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,000
He hit the ball right off the bat. A double for McCarver.

519
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,000
He didn't get around on that ball, and he hit it off the end of the bat.

520
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000
He didn't really hit it hard.

521
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:03,000
It hit the bag fair and trickled into the Cardinal bullpen in left field.

522
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,000
So the Cardinals have a leadoff double here in the second.

523
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,000
He hit that ball, Harry, right off his right hip.

524
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Actually, it looked as though the ball might have shot in and it would have been a ball.

525
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,000
But he hit it off the hip, unlocked himself somehow, and we have a runner on second with nobody else.

526
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000
And Mike Shannon will be the batter here.

527
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:27,000
The Cardinals trying to break out in front, something they haven't been able to do.

528
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Neither one of these two games previously in the series.

529
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Lost 1-0 Friday night, 15-5 yesterday.

530
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Here's the stretch, and now the pitch on the way.

531
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:45,000
He's foul-tipsed at strike one. Mike Shannon hitting 262.

532
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,000
He's had nine homers and 42 runs batted in.

533
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:54,000
The Reds are batting in the bottom of the second at Cincinnati with no score.

534
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,000
The Cardinals are batting in the bottom of the second in St. Louis with no score.

535
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000
One strike and no ball.

536
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Now the signal given.

537
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Right-hand batter waiting.

538
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:12,000
Galen Siscoe, broad-shouldered, right-handed.

539
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Takes his time, gets his sign.

540
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Now from the belt.

541
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,000
The pitch is on the way.

542
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Folded back trying to hit the right field.

543
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Two strikes and no balls. He's in the hole now.

544
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,000
McCarver let off with a double. Shannon up there now.

545
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,000
With Dowd-Maxville due next, followed by Kurt Simmons, who's not a bad-hitting pitcher.

546
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Last of the second inning.

547
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Right-hand hitter digging in.

548
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Siscoe, a very methodical, deliberate worker out there.

549
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,000
He's in no hurry.

550
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Got nothing to do after today until next spring.

551
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Two strikes and no ball.

552
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Now the sign.

553
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Takes a lot of time. He's ready now from the belt.

554
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
And here's the pitch on the way.

555
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000
There's a line drive to the left field. It's going to drop in the third base.

556
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Here's the run around third base. He's going to try to score.

557
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Here's a throw to the plate. He is safe. There's Shannon, class of second.

558
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,000
He is out.

559
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,000
Shannon singles to left, scoring McCarver.

560
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,000
But he's out trying to take second on the throw to the plate, which was cut off by the third baseman,

561
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Charlie Smith, and fired down to Bobby Klopp.

562
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:44,000
So the Cardinals are out in front, one to nothing on Shannon's 43rd run batted in.

563
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Let's pause quickly. This is the Cardinals baseball network.

564
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,000
KMOX FM, St. Louis.

565
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Concrete and steel are important to progress. They move from mine to mill to work.

566
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Wabash Cannonball wheels. In the heart of America, brought to you by Wabash Cannonball Freight Service.

567
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:16,000
This is Harry Carrey with Jerry Gross at Bush Stadium in St. Louis with Roy May in Cincinnati covering the pennant fight for you.

568
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Maxfield takes the first pitch outside. One ball, no strikes.

569
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Here's the pitch. Sidearm and it's bounced far.

570
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:39,000
One to nothing in favor of the Cardinals.

571
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Well, our friends over the downhouse sent over a Redbird cushion or pillow.

572
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,000
And we're using it. Maybe it'll bring us some luck today.

573
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,000
One ball and one strike.

574
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

575
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Maxfield swings and pops up. Easy off.

576
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:06,000
Second baseman there. Hey, the wind almost gave him trouble and Klaus had to make a one-handed stab.

577
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Two out now and here's Kurt Simmons, the pitcher.

578
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000
One to nothing in favor of the Redbirds. We're in the bottom of the second.

579
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:22,000
It's the first time in this three-game series that the Cardinals have ever led.

580
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:29,000
With a victory, the Cardinals are sure of at least a tie.

581
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:38,000
If they win, the very worst they can do is play in Cincinnati tomorrow.

582
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,000
And the best they could do would be to have clinched the pennant.

583
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Here's the pitch to Simmons. He fouled it back.

584
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:54,000
If the Cardinals win and the Reds lose, the Cardinals will be the National League champion.

585
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:59,000
If the Cardinals win and the Reds win, there'll be a playoff in Cincinnati starting tomorrow

586
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:09,000
with the second game here Tuesday and the third game if necessary here Wednesday.

587
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,000
If the Reds lose and we lose, it'll be a three-way tie.

588
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:19,000
Here's the pitch. Strike call, the fastball. Two strikes and no ball.

589
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:28,000
A double by McCarver and a single by Shannon has given the Cardinals the lead here in the second inning.

590
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,000
Now the wine. Here's the pitch on the way.

591
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:38,000
A little outside and the count, two strikes and a ball.

592
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:46,000
If the Cardinals win and the Reds lose, the Cardinals will be the National League champion.

593
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,000
If the Cardinals win and the Reds win, there'll be a playoff in Cincinnati starting tomorrow

594
00:46:51,000 --> 00:47:01,000
with the second game here Tuesday and the third game if necessary here Wednesday.

595
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,000
If the Reds lose and we lose, it'll be a three-way tie.

596
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Here's the pitch. Strike call, the fastball. Two strikes and no ball.

597
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:20,000
A double by McCarver and a single by Shannon has given the Cardinals the lead here in the second inning.

598
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,000
Now the wine. Here's the pitch on the way.

599
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:32,000
A little outside and the count, two strikes and a ball.

600
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:37,000
There's no score at Cincinnati with the Reds batting in the second.

601
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Two strikes, one ball. Left-handed batter waits.

602
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Galen Siscoe gets set. A wind and here's the pitch on the way.

603
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,000
A bouncing ball to the left of the third baseman, a great stop, and now the throw.

604
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,000
He is out as Cranepool made a one-handed pick up of the low throw.

605
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000
So that was a fine play all the way around. One run, two hits.

606
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:09,000
No errors and nobody left. At the end of two innings in St. Louis, the Cardinals won them. That's nothing.

607
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Before we go into the top of the third, let's go to our man in Cincinnati. Right?

608
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:21,000
We're now at the end of two as Marty Keough just flies deep to center to retire the side.

609
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:27,000
So we're going into the third, still no score in Cincinnati.

610
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:32,000
Okay, nothing, nothing up there, so we're a little bit better off. We're leading one to nothing.

611
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Here is George Altman eluded off against Simmons and the first pitch is right at his head and he ducks out of the way.

612
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Ball one. One ball and no strikes. Nobody on and nobody outThe ball game in the third.

613
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Boy, a spectacular play by Lou Brons. Bob Taylor, but at least a double and perhaps a triple.

614
00:48:52,000 --> 00:49:02,000
There's the pitch on the way. Altman foul tips it back. He was really trying to pull that ball into the wind.

615
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Altman with nine homers and 47 runs about it and hitting 229.

616
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:13,000
George has been hobbled with injuries. Here's the pitch he was going to bunt.

617
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Going outside. Two balls and a strike.

618
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:34,000
Left hand hitter digging in. George AltmanThe pitch by Simmons. A bouncing ball fouled on the first base line.

619
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Anything happening up there, Roy, while we have a second?

620
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,000
So now, Bunningham on the top of their batting order coming up for the Phillies in the third.

621
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,000
They have a packed house there, too.

622
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,000
George Altman to batter. Two balls, two strikes.

623
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:58,000
We're in the third.

624
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Kurt Simmons gets ready.

625
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Into the windup. Here's the pitch on the way.

626
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,000
A fast ball a little bit low and inside.

627
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Three balls and two strikes on the left hand hitter.

628
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:21,000
George Altman. Top half of the third inning.

629
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Now the wind the pitch. A tamp foul again after a fast ball.

630
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Three balls, two strikes. Top of the third inning.

631
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Hope you're enjoying a cold bottle of Bush Bavarian beer right about now.

632
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Three balls, two strikes.

633
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,000
The wind hears the pitch on the way.

634
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Folded back trying to go to left field with it.

635
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,000
And the count is three and two.

636
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,000
The atmosphere is so great. At least that we open our radio booth door.

637
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:06,000
The transistors, which are around the ballpark, are giving us quite a feedback.

638
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,000
I don't know how we can cure it because they want to hear the ballgame, too.

639
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Three-two pitch now. Swung on and popped foul back.

640
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,000
And the count, three balls, two strikes. That's easy.

641
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:22,000
We'll just keep the door closed.

642
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Full count of three and two. Left-handed batter up there.

643
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Kurt Simmons is set. Here's the pitch on the way.

644
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Curve outside. He walked him. So Altman leads off with a walk.

645
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:43,000
That enables the Mets to use their pitcher to sacrifice him along.

646
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Galen Sisco coming up.

647
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Sisco's at six out of 54 as a hitter.

648
00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:00,000
He's hit one double. He's driven in four runs.

649
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Right-hand batter digging in.

650
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Now the sign.

651
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
And from the belt, the pitch is on the way.

652
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Yay, McCarver drops the ballThe pitch is high.

653
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,000
One ball, no strike.

654
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,000
George Altman, a pretty good runner at first base.

655
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,000
White was charging in. Maxwell was coming over to cover.

656
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:28,000
One ball, no strikes.

657
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,000
Now the signal given.

658
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,000
Ready from the beltThe pitch on the way. He's going to bunt.

659
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,000
Strike call.

660
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,000
A fastball over the outside corner, knee-high.

661
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:45,000
One ball, one strike.

662
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,000
Kenny Boyer playing a shallow third base.

663
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Bright sunshine here.

664
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Now the pitch on the way.

665
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000
He bunts, and it's a good one.

666
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:01,000
Simmons has only one play, and that's the first base where Maxville covered.

667
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,000
It's a sacrifice.

668
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,000
Simmons fumbled the ball, but the old pro that he is, he didn't panic.

669
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,000
He knew the pitcher was running down the line, that he had plenty of time,

670
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,000
and he made sure that he picked it up on the second grab and threw him out.

671
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:19,000
So they have the tying run and scoring position with only one out,

672
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:29,000
and they have Bobby Klaus and Roy McMillan coming up with a chance to drive in the run.

673
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:39,000
We're in the third. Right-hand hitter digging in.

674
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:47,000
There's Simmons getting set from the belt to the pitch.

675
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,000
It's a curve at the knees, a beauty, a strike call.

676
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:57,000
One strike and no balls.

677
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Wide at first, wide at the back.

678
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Maxville over near second.

679
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,000
They play Klaus to pull.

680
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,000
Now Simmons backs off the rubber.

681
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000
One strike and no balls.

682
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,000
There's the pitch. Low fast ball.

683
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Simmons, 15 years ago, was on the Philadelphia-Philly WizKid team that won the pennant.

684
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:28,000
He helped them win the pennant with 17 victories, but he didn't get to play in the World Series

685
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,000
because he was in the service when the series was being played.

686
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:38,000
Here's a strike call to Klaus. Two strikes and a ball.

687
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Simmons pitching the most important game of the year.

688
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,000
Two strikes and a ball.

689
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Right-handed batter digging in.

690
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:56,000
We're in the thirdThe wind blows towards right field and strongly.

691
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Simmons pitches the bell on the way.

692
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,000
Fast ball is outside and that evens it up.

693
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:08,000
Two balls, two strikes. Bobby Klaus, the hitter.

694
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,000
He homered yesterday, his fourth of the year.

695
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Had a brother named Billy who was in the major leagues.

696
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,000
The Red Sox, and Philly's another club.

697
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,000
Two balls, two strikes. Here's the pitch on the way.

698
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
A bouncing ball to Boyer. He should throw him out.

699
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,000
There's a long throw to first.

700
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:32,000
He saves! He rolls it. Bill White came off the bat.

701
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,000
The throw was a little high. White thought he had his toe on the bag.

702
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Altman held second. See how they're going to call that an infield hit for Klaus.

703
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:46,000
That'll bring up Roy McMillan who can handle that bat.

704
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:53,000
White thought that his toe had stayed on the bag and he argues about it.

705
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:59,000
An infield hit. Puts runners at first and second with one out.

706
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:05,000
The slow hopper to Kenny Boyer. Roy McMillan up there.

707
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:11,000
He can handle that bat. He can hit on the opposite field.

708
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,000
Okay, Roy, quickly. Anything happen?

709
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:18,000
In the top of the third inning here, the Fills have men in scoring position.

710
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,000
At second and third, Johnny Callison will be the batter.

711
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:26,000
There's one out and the Red Bull pen is busy with Joe Nuxall, a left hander.

712
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Here's a hot smash. Hit to Boyer. Looks like a double play.

713
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:34,000
To Maxwell, oneThe first. Two! McMillan hit into a double play.

714
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,000
From Boyer to Maxwell to Bill White.

715
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,000
That ball was hit like a bullet on one hop right at Kenny Boyer

716
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:47,000
who executed the double play with a pivot to Maxwell.

717
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:51,000
White ending it at first base. So it is one hit, no runs.

718
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,000
No errors and one left.

719
00:56:53,000 --> 00:57:02,000
We go into the bottom half of the third inning. Cardinals one, Mets nothing.

720
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:07,000
While we go into the bottom half of the third inning,

721
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Kurt Flood who lined out to center his first time at bat will be the hitter.

722
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Cardinals leading one to nothing.

723
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,000
Now the signal given.

724
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Gale and Siscoe is ready.

725
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,000
There's the wind up and out of fifth.

726
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:36,000
It's a strike, a good fast ball over the outside corner.

727
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,000
One strike, no ball.

728
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:43,000
Capacity crowd on hand. Looks capacity.

729
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,000
One strike, no ball.

730
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Kurt Flood leading off against Gale and SiscoeThe pitch is on the way.

731
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,000
It's a high curve ball.

732
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:59,000
One ball, one strike.

733
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Kurt Flood the hitter.

734
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Siscoe gets set.

735
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Now ready.

736
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Into the wind up.

737
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:16,000
Here's the pitch. Way outside, quickly to Cincinnati. Roy, anything happen?

738
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,000
Yes, Harry, the Fills have taken the lead.

739
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,000
As Russ Cunningham ripped the single scoring two men.

740
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,000
What's the score, right?

741
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,000
Two to nothing now.

742
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,000
It's the top of the third, one out, the Fills still batting.

743
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Two to nothing in favor of the Phillies and they're still batting in the third.

744
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:41,000
Here now is Flood, two balls, one strike. Oh, what excitement here.

745
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Now the wind up by Siscoe. Here's the pitch on the way.

746
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,000
And it's low and inside, ball three.

747
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Three balls and a strike.

748
00:58:54,000 --> 00:59:00,000
Nuxol is now relieving Sartorius.

749
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:06,000
In the third inning at Cincinnati, three balls, one strike. Here's the pitch.

750
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Ball four, he walked him.

751
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:17,000
So we have a runner at first base with nobody out and here's Lou Brock.

752
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:22,000
Brock single in the first inning.

753
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:31,000
And with some dazzling base running, wound up at second when Hickman just momentarily juggled the ball.

754
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:36,000
The third baseman, Smith, comes in shallow expecting a bun.

755
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Left-handed batter waits.

756
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,000
There's the stretch, the hesitation.

757
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,000
And the pitch. And a pitch out, nothing happened.

758
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,000
One ball, no strikes.

759
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Lou Brock, the batter.

760
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:59,000
Why, everybody in this ballpark must have a transistor radio.

761
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,000
One ball, no strike.

762
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Now ready, Brock a lead, here's the stretch.

763
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,000
What a lead, rather. Here's a pitch to Brock and he foul-tips.

764
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:19,000
One ball and one strike.

765
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:24,000
The third baseman, Charlie Smith, plays in on the edge of the grass.

766
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,000
Brock gave no indication of bunning.

767
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:30,000
Flood is the runner at first with nobody out.

768
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,000
One ball, one strike.

769
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,000
Now the signal given.

770
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:42,000
Ready.

771
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,000
Now the stretch, the hesitation. Flood a long lead.

772
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,000
The pitch to Brock, here it is.

773
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,000
Strike two called over the inside corner.

774
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Two strikes and a ball.

775
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:03,000
And Brock didn't like that. One Eddie Vargo dust off the plate.

776
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Now all set to goThe third baseman drops back, another step this time.

777
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:17,000
Left-hand hitter, the wind blowing towards the right.

778
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,000
Brock has power in that direction. Here's the stretch.

779
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:27,000
And a pitch way outside. That evens it up two balls, two strikes.

780
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:33,000
A runner at first. We're in the third.

781
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,000
Luke Brock waiting.

782
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:44,000
The breeze blows strongly towards right.

783
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:52,000
Galen Sisco takes his time into the stretch from the belt and the pitch.

784
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Outside ball three. And it's a full count of three and two and flood will be going up.

785
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,000
Nobody out. Luke Brock the hitter. Three balls, two strikes.

786
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,000
Cardinals leading one to nothing in the bottom of the third.

787
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,000
Phillies leading two to nothing in the top of the third.

788
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Over Cincinnati. Three balls, two strikes. Left-hand batter waiting.

789
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Signal given.

790
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Now the stretch by Galen Sisco from the belt.

791
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:32,000
The pitch is on the way. Here it is. Swung and foul tipped as the runner was breaking.

792
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,000
Quickly Roy, what's happened?

793
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Runners at first and third. One out, thick power is the batter with a 2-2 count.

794
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,000
Phillies lead two nothing.

795
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Three balls, two strikes.

796
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:53,000
A ball game in the third. One to nothing in favor of the Cardinals.

797
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:58,000
Now to signal given.

798
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,000
Galen Sisco on the hill. Flood will be going with the pitch.

799
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,000
The 3-2. Here it is, there he goes.

800
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,000
A hot shot to the second base. Don't play a second.

801
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:13,000
He fumbles the ball. Everybody is safe.

802
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,000
Bobby Klaus fumbled the ball for an error.

803
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:23,000
And having the runner going on three and two, he was trying to rush it thinking he could still get the man at second.

804
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,000
And he dropped the ball.

805
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,000
And when you drop the ball with Brock running, forget about it.

806
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:32,000
So everybody is safe. Runners at first and second, nobody out.

807
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Here's Bill White.

808
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:40,000
White lined out to short his first time up.

809
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,000
Left-hand hitter waiting.

810
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:48,000
Bill Wakefield has started a warm-up in the bullpen for the Mets.

811
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,000
Listen to this crowd.

812
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Boy, there's frenzied excitement here.

813
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,000
Here's the stretch.

814
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:59,000
And the pitch to White. It's inside a slider. Ball on.

815
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Oh, Bill can get a hold of one the way that wind is blowing.

816
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,000
One ball, no strikes.

817
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:09,000
They want to see the baseball while they look at it. Back to Cincinnati and Roy May.

818
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:14,000
There are two out now with runners at first and second. Tony Taylor just ripped the single up the middle.

819
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000
They now lead three to nothing.

820
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Good reporting, Roy. Good reporting.

821
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:28,000
As long as you can wrench for the Phillies, you're the greatest.

822
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:34,000
Three to nothing in favor of the Phillies, and they're still batting in the third at Cincinnati.

823
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:39,000
One ball, no strikes on Bill White.

824
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:45,000
And now, Galen Siscoe is ready from the belt.

825
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,000
The pitch, it's outside.

826
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:52,000
Ball two, and Wakefield is down to the bullpen.

827
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:56,000
Harry Bill White, in checking the records, has had great success against Siscoe.

828
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:02,000
He hit a home run off him earlier in the season, and got a two-base hit in an earlier game.

829
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,000
Two for five against him going to this one.

830
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:08,000
He hit his first time up a line drive to the shortstop.

831
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,000
All right, two balls, no strikes.

832
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,000
Runners at first and second, the stretch.

833
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:19,000
The pitch, a bouncing ball to the first baseman, Cranepool. He's going to throw to second.

834
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,000
In time, runners are at first and third.

835
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Nice play by Ed Cranepool.

836
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:30,000
So White forces brought Cranepool to McMillan.

837
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Here's Boyer now with runners at first and third, only one out.

838
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,000
Oh, we've got to win this ball game.

839
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:42,000
Boyer walked his first time up.

840
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:46,000
There, McMillan the shortstop talking to Galen Siscoe.

841
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:50,000
They're going to play back for the double play.

842
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Boyer might try to poke that ball to the opposite field against that defense,

843
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:05,000
with Crouse practically standing on second base.

844
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:13,000
Right-handed Vanaweets.

845
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,000
Kenny Boyer waiting.

846
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:22,000
Galen Siscoe gets set, the infield back hoping for a double play.

847
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Oh, I'd like to see him slice one in the right field.

848
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:30,000
There's the stretch and the pitch on the way.

849
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,000
A double play ball to Crouse.

850
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,000
Over to McMillan for one. Over to first base for two.

851
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,000
From Crouse to McMillan to Cranepool.

852
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,000
So it is no runs, no hits, one air, one left.

853
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,000
At the end of three here, the Cardinals won, the Mets nothing.

854
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:51,000
While we go into the top of the fourth now, here comes a three up for Philadelphia.

855
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,000
Everybody sees it now.

856
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:58,000
Here's the pitch to Christopher in a slow curve, strike is gone.

857
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,000
One strike and no ball.

858
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,000
Joe Christopher who beat out a bunny his first time up.

859
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Christopher hitting three-oh-one.

860
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Sixteen homers in 76 runs batted in.

861
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,000
Simmons gets set.

862
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,000
The wind up now, the pitch on the way.

863
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,000
There's a high pop fly.

864
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Short right field.

865
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,000
Shannon waiting for the ball.

866
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,000
He's got it one up.

867
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:26,000
Christopher fly to Shannon in right.

868
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:30,000
One away and here's Jim Hickman, a power hitter.

869
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:35,000
Eleven homers in 57 RBIs batting 259.

870
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:41,000
He fly it out to right his first time up.

871
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:47,000
A balloon comes blowing onto the field.

872
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Well, that's how high it will all be if the Reds lose and the Cardinals win today.

873
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,000
There's the pitch on the way to Hata Hickman.

874
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,000
It's a little bit inside.

875
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:11,000
One ball and no strikes.

876
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,000
The football Cardinals lead 14-10 at the half.

877
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,000
Now the pitch slow curve of beauty.

878
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,000
That evens it up for the ball and no strike.

879
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,000
One out, nobody on base.

880
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,000
One to nothing in favor of the Cardinals.

881
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,000
It would feel a lot better if we could make a few more runs.

882
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,000
One ball, one strike, the pitch on the way.

883
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,000
It's a high fastball, ball two.

884
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Two balls and a strike.

885
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:41,000
Looking ahead to the Cardinal fourth, it will be Grote leading off.

886
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:45,000
We had a great chance in the third, but White and Boyer were retired.

887
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,000
Within field, ground ball.

888
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Two balls, one strike, the pitch.

889
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,000
There's a fly ball left field, Brock coming over.

890
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:54,000
He's there now.

891
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,000
He makes the cut.

892
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:02,000
Hickman fly to Brock and left.

893
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:07,000
And here's Charlie Smith, popped up his first time up, right-handed batter.

894
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:11,000
We're in the top of the fourth, let's pause quickly for a cold bottle of Bush Bavarian beer.

895
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,000
This is the Cardinals baseball network.

896
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,000
KMWX and KMWX FM, St. Louis.

897
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,000
Only DX gasoline contains the element boron.

898
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:21,000
Fill up with...

899
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:28,000
The X-suit for boron, drive a car that's alive.

900
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:33,000
This is Harry Carey with Jerry Gross in St. Louis, and now to Cincinnati and Roy May.

901
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:40,000
Jim Bunning just up the field, down an order in the third, so at the end of three, it's Phillies three, Reds nothing.

902
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:44,000
All right, here's a strike call now to Charlie Smith.

903
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:49,000
So it's three to nothing at the end of three, Philadelphia over Cincinnati.

904
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Charlie Smith is the batter.

905
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,000
One ball, one strike.

906
01:09:55,000 --> 01:10:00,000
The Y now, the pitch by Simmons, and here it is, let off pitch outside.

907
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,000
Two balls in the strike.

908
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Top of the fourth.

909
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Cardinals leading one to nothing.

910
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,000
Boy, these Mets give us a battle.

911
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Now the Y and the pitch, here it is.

912
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:24,000
He swung and he missed, strike two, and the count is evened up two balls, two strikes.

913
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:28,000
Billy McCool is relieved for the Reds now in the fourth.

914
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:36,000
So, the Phillies lead three to nothing with McCool relieving Nuxo, who probably went out for a pinch hitter.

915
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,000
Two balls, two strikes, the pitch on the way.

916
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,000
There's a little pop foul out of play into the stand.

917
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,000
And the count evened up two balls, two strikes.

918
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Two men out.

919
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:53,000
Ball game in the fourth.

920
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,000
Charlie Smith the batter.

921
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:01,000
Kurt Simmons in another pitching duel with Galen Sisco.

922
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,000
Two balls, two strikes.

923
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,000
The wind up the pitch and here it is.

924
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,000
There's a drive, way back.

925
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,000
It might be out of here, but stays fair.

926
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:16,000
It could be, it's a home run.

927
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:20,000
Just down the right field line and this ball game is tied.

928
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:24,000
Charlie Smith has just hit his 20th home run of the year.

929
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:28,000
The only hope was it might go foul, but it stayed fair.

930
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:33,000
Right down the line and the ball game is tied one and one.

931
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Charlie Smith's 20th home run.

932
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:42,000
Boy, that takes the steam out of the crowd.

933
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:48,000
Here is Bob Taylor, who was robbed of an extra base hit on a remarkable play by Lou Brock.

934
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,000
The pitch, low curve, lined in the left of base hit.

935
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,000
Taylor is on there.

936
01:11:53,000 --> 01:12:04,000
And that will bring up Ed Craneful, a power left-handed hitter.

937
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,000
Boy, that chance we missed in the third inning.

938
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:11,000
Runners at first and second, nobody out with White and Boyer.

939
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:18,000
Boyer hit his ball sharply, but he hit it right up the middle, which is exactly where they were playing him.

940
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:22,000
They figure he'll be trying to pull every time, and so they give him all the right field.

941
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:26,000
And with the wind blowing towards right today, that's the power field.

942
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,000
Here's the pitch and it's low.

943
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,000
One ball, no strike.

944
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Bob Gibson is limbering up on the bullpen for the card.

945
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,000
A tight up ball again.

946
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,000
Now the stretch, the hesitation, the pitch on the way.

947
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:43,000
There's a pop fly.

948
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,000
Everybody chasing it. Who's going to get it?

949
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Flood is there. He's got it to retire the side.

950
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Craneful again fly to Flood.

951
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,000
One run, two hits, no errors, one left.

952
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,000
We're going to the bottom of the fourth, all tied up.

953
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:00,000
The Mets wonThe Cardinals won.

954
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,000
Particular about taste?

955
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,000
You bet I'm particular.

956
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,000
And my Pellmells prove it.

957
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:09,000
Particular people

958
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,000
take particular pleasure

959
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:16,000
in the good taste of Pellmell.

960
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:21,000
Yes, Pellmell's natural mildness means just one thing.

961
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:29,000
Smooth, pleasing flavor.

962
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:34,000
The flavors blend it over, under, around and through

963
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,000
to bring that particular good taste to you.

964
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:42,000
So get particular pleasure like particular people do

965
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:47,000
in the good taste of Pellmell.

966
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,000
Be particular.

967
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Smoke a long cigarette that's long on flavor.

968
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:58,000
Buy Pellmell famous cigarettes outstanding.

969
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:07,000
And they are mired from the American Tobacco Company.

970
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Bottom half of the fourth inning.

971
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,000
We have a moment, let's go to Cincinnati, Roy.

972
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:16,000
Top of the fourth, there's nobody on and one out

973
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,000
with Jim Bunning the batter.

974
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,000
How's Bunning look?

975
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:27,000
Very good, Harry.

976
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:31,000
Okay, here's the growth to lead off of the Cardinals

977
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,000
in the bottom of the fourth, all tied up one and one.

978
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,000
Oh, we got to get some runs.

979
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:43,000
Amazing how this ball club holds this.

980
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:50,000
Nine of the games played with the Mets have been decided by one run.

981
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:55,000
In two out of the last three games we played with them,

982
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:58,000
and they won all three, by the way.

983
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:02,000
The pitch to Groat is a strike call.

984
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,000
They beat us two to one, one to nothing,

985
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:07,000
and of course walloped us yesterday 15 to five.

986
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:12,000
The last time we beat the Mets was by the score of two to one.

987
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:16,000
So they're pitching just buffaloes.

988
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Here's Groat, one strike, no ball, Cisco's pitch is on the way.

989
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:26,000
There's a drive, and the right fielder line fell by about a foot and a half.

990
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:31,000
So Groat is in the hole two strikes and nothing.

991
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Bottom half of the fourth inning, all tied up one and one.

992
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:43,000
And Cincinnati batting, or Philadelphia batting in the top of the fourth,

993
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:49,000
leads Cincinnati three to nothing.

994
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Groat the batter, two strikes and nothing.

995
01:15:54,000 --> 01:16:01,000
We're in the fourth.

996
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,000
Now the pitch on the way, and it's a curveball high.

997
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,000
The Phils didn't score on the fourth.

998
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:10,000
The Reds are now batting, trailing three to nothing.

999
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:14,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1000
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:17,000
The present pace, the Cincinnati game is ahead of ours,

1001
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,000
just about equal.

1002
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,000
We're in the bottom of the fourth, they're in the bottom of the fourth.

1003
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Two strikes and a ball, the pitch to Groat.

1004
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,000
Into the dirt, low, that evens it up.

1005
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1006
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,000
Cardinals have had three hits, the Mets have had four hits.

1007
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,000
The Mets had a home run from Charlie Smith down the right fielder line

1008
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:44,000
to the Pavilion Roof, his 20th home run of the year.

1009
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:49,000
He went to the opposite field and took advantage of the wind.

1010
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,000
The little fellows had a great year.

1011
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,000
Anytime he had 20 home runs in this league, he'd done something.

1012
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,000
Here's the pitch to Groat.

1013
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,000
There's a fly ball, deep right center field, that's going to go out of the way to the wall,

1014
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:01,000
maybe extra bases, Groat's around first, heading for second.

1015
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:07,000
Here's the throw, he's going to make it easily, a double.

1016
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:13,000
Groat opens the fourth with a double to right center.

1017
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:20,000
And now it'll be McCarver, who'll double the left in the second, followed by Shannon.

1018
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:43,000
That's the lead run at second base, nobody out.

1019
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:50,000
McCarver takes a look at Vern Benson coaching third.

1020
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:54,000
Now the stretch.

1021
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,000
The pitch is on the way.

1022
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:02,000
A bouncing ball back to the mound, he holds the runner at second, throws to first, and McCarver's out.

1023
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,000
Boy, that hurt, he didn't pull the ball at all.

1024
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Just pushed his bat at it, hit it right back to the pitcher.

1025
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:18,000
One situation you've got to try to pull, because a ground ball to the first base side would put Groat at third with one out.

1026
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,000
As it is now, takes a base hit to score.

1027
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:25,000
Here's Shannon, who drove in our first run with a single to left.

1028
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:32,000
Groat in scoring position with one out.

1029
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,000
Now the stretch, the hesitation.

1030
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,000
The pitch is on the way.

1031
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,000
It's a fastball low, ball one.

1032
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,000
Down Maxville will be next.

1033
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,000
One and one, we're in the bottom of the fourth.

1034
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:48,000
The Mets have won the first two games trying to make it a clean sweep.

1035
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:53,000
The Phillies are leading the Reds, three to nothing in the bottom of the fourth at Cincinnati.

1036
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,000
One ball, no strikes.

1037
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,000
The pitch is on the way.

1038
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,000
He had a good cut on that one and he fouled it off.

1039
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,000
One ball, one strike.

1040
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,000
Anything happening, Roy? Quickly.

1041
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:12,000
Shannon one out here for the Reds in the bottom of the fourth inning, and Frank Groat is in the last place.

1042
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:16,000
All right, one ball, one strike here.

1043
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,000
Shannon the batter.

1044
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,000
Score tied, one-one.

1045
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:32,000
Galen Siscoe rubs up the baseball.

1046
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:41,000
Now we're ready.

1047
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:48,000
The outfield bunches Shannon towards center.

1048
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,000
Siscoe gets set.

1049
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:57,000
Groat a long lead at second base.

1050
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:01,000
Groat a long lead at second base.

1051
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,000
And the one-one pitch is on the way.

1052
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,000
And here it is.

1053
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,000
He had a cut and he fouled it back.

1054
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:11,000
Boy, he had a good swing of the curveball that time.

1055
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,000
He returned the ball to the pitcher and almost hit him in the face.

1056
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:15,000
He wasn't looking.

1057
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1058
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:22,000
In Cincinnati, is Robinson still up, Roy?

1059
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,000
Yes, he is, Harry, with a one-one count.

1060
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,000
A runner at first, one out.

1061
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:32,000
Two strikes and a ball here, with one out and a runner at second, and Mike Shannon the batter.

1062
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:36,000
Down Maxville would be next.

1063
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,000
One-one tie.

1064
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:43,000
Charlie Smith, who hit a home run yesterday and another one today.

1065
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:50,000
Now the stretch from the belt and the pitch to Shannon on the way.

1066
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:53,000
A pop fly, and the short center field is going to be caught.

1067
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,000
Hickman is there.

1068
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,000
He's got it to a win.

1069
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Shannon didn't have much of a swing of that one.

1070
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:02,000
So there's two out here on the fourth.

1071
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:05,000
And here's Down Maxville.

1072
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,000
He popped up his first time.

1073
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:21,000
Right-handed hitter up there, playing in place of the injured Javier.

1074
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:27,000
Maxville bounding 222, right-handed hitter.

1075
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:37,000
Galen Susco takes his time, rubs up the baseball.

1076
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:42,000
Now ready from the belt.

1077
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,000
There's the pitch to Maxville.

1078
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:47,000
It's a high inside curve ball, ball one.

1079
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,000
One ball, no strikes.

1080
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:52,000
Maxville, not a power hitter.

1081
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:58,000
No homers and two RBIs bounding 222.

1082
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:03,000
Chokes up on the bat about an inch from the end.

1083
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,000
One ball, no strikes.

1084
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:09,000
The stretch and the pitch to Maxville.

1085
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,000
Oop, he backs off the rubber.

1086
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:16,000
Galen Susco, very deliberate.

1087
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:20,000
After this pitch, we'll flash back to Cincinnati.

1088
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:24,000
There's the stretch and the pitch to Maxville.

1089
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:25,000
Here it is.

1090
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,000
Wind drive, base hit.

1091
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,000
Here's the man going to try to score.

1092
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,000
Here's Jim Hickman up with the ball.

1093
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:32,000
And it scores.

1094
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,000
The Cardinals lead 2-1.

1095
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,000
Maxville singles the center, scoring group.

1096
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:41,000
And the Cardinals lead 2-1.

1097
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:45,000
Now let's see if anything has happened in Cincinnati.

1098
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,000
Two out here now as Frank Robinson struck out,

1099
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,000
but the ball got away from the catcher,

1100
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,000
and Finson is on second base now.

1101
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,000
The batter is Darren Johnson.

1102
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Two out, Philly 3, Reds nothing in the bottom of the fourth.

1103
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,000
All right, here's Kurt Simmons now.

1104
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:03,000
Down, Maxville drives in his third run of the year,

1105
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:06,000
and he ripped that ball hard up the middle.

1106
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:12,000
And Simmons steps up there, 2-1 in favor of the Cardinals.

1107
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:15,000
Bill Wakefield arms up again, far in the midst.

1108
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:20,000
Cisco getting ready.

1109
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Now the stretch by Cisco and the pitch to Simmons.

1110
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,000
And here it is.

1111
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Outside, ball one.

1112
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:35,000
One ball to no strikes.

1113
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:39,000
Cisco, broad-shouldered right-hander, who has won six, lost 18.

1114
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:44,000
2-1, the Cardinals lead, we're in the bottom of the fourth.

1115
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,000
Cranepool doesn't hold the runner on.

1116
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:48,000
He plays back off the bag at first.

1117
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,000
The stretch, the pitch now to Simmons.

1118
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,000
Here it is, outside, ball two.

1119
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Two balls or nothing.

1120
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,000
Kurt Flood would be next.

1121
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,000
Redbirds trying to build up a cushion,

1122
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:08,000
which is hard to do against this ball club.

1123
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1124
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:13,000
The Phillies beat the Mets 15 out of 18 this year,

1125
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:17,000
and we wonder how in the world they did it.

1126
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:21,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1127
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Now the stretch from the belt, the pitch to Simmons.

1128
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,000
It's ball three low.

1129
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,000
Three balls and no strikes.

1130
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,000
Two out, a runner at first.

1131
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:40,000
The Mets built it in, the tie-breaking run.

1132
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:46,000
The football Cardinals are leading in Washington, 21-10.

1133
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,000
Three balls, no strikes.

1134
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:55,000
Two out, runner at first base.

1135
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:56,000
Flood would be next.

1136
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,000
Gale and Cisco get set.

1137
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,000
Now from the belt, the pitch on the way.

1138
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,000
Here it is, ball four.

1139
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,000
He walked in.

1140
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:07,000
So we have runners at first and second with two out,

1141
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:10,000
and Kurt Flood coming up.

1142
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Let's switch now to Cincinnati and see if the Reds are still

1143
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,000
batting in their fourth.

1144
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,000
The situation was the same here.

1145
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:22,000
A man on second base, two out, and a one-two count on Darren Johnson.

1146
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,000
All right, right.

1147
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,000
Here's Kurt Flood.

1148
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,000
Simmons at first, Maxville at second.

1149
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Ball game in the fourth.

1150
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:39,000
The Reds did not score in the fourth.

1151
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:43,000
Here's a stretch now on the pitch to Flood.

1152
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:45,000
It's inside, ball one.

1153
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:48,000
One ball, no strikes.

1154
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:52,000
Kurt Flood, who lined out his first time, walked his second time,

1155
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:56,000
Brock would be next.

1156
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,000
Right-handed batter waiting.

1157
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:07,000
Two to one in favor of the Cardinals.

1158
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:12,000
Here's the stretch and the pitch on the way.

1159
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,000
He swung and he missed.

1160
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:20,000
He was going for the pump that time.

1161
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:35,000
What's that, Roy?

1162
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Here's the stretch.

1163
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,000
One ball, one strike.

1164
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,000
A bouncing ball just ought to end the inning.

1165
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,000
McMillan's got it, flips to second.

1166
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,000
Flood for Simmons.

1167
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,000
From McMillan to Clouse.

1168
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,000
One run, two hits.

1169
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,000
No errors, two left.

1170
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:56,000
At the end of four, the Cardinals two, the Mets one.

1171
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:01,000
Top of the fifth, the Cardinals lead two to one.

1172
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:07,000
George Almon will lead it off.

1173
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:10,000
Anything going on in Cincinnati, Roy?

1174
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:11,000
Yes, Derry.

1175
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,000
In the top of the fifth inning,

1176
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:17,000
Richie Allen has just homered against the center field wall.

1177
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,000
They now lead four to nothing.

1178
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,000
Nobody out, nobody on.

1179
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,000
All right, wonderful.

1180
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,000
Richie Allen has just homered, and the Reds and the Phillies lead

1181
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:29,000
four to nothing in Cincinnati.

1182
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Here's George Almon up there.

1183
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:34,000
One strike and no ball.

1184
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,000
Now the wind.

1185
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

1186
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,000
And he started to swing and he held up.

1187
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,000
One ball, one strike.

1188
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:44,000
They're in the fifth at Cincinnati with the Phillies leading

1189
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,000
four to nothing.

1190
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,000
Left-handed batter Altman waits.

1191
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:52,000
He walked his first time at bat.

1192
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,000
Here's the wind up now, the pitch by Simmons.

1193
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,000
And it gets away from McCarver.

1194
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,000
Two balls and a strike.

1195
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:03,000
A little bit inside.

1196
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,000
And by half a Bush-Bavarian beer,

1197
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,000
we sincerely hope that you've enjoyed another season

1198
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:13,000
of Cardinal Baseball Broadcast.

1199
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,000
Two balls, one strike.

1200
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,000
The pitch is on the way.

1201
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,000
Fouled out of play and the count is in.

1202
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1203
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,000
Altman the batter.

1204
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:27,000
We're in the fifth, and they're in the fifth up there.

1205
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:29,000
We lead two to one.

1206
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:33,000
The Reds trail four to nothing.

1207
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:39,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1208
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,000
Now the wind up and here's the pitch on the way.

1209
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:45,000
Line drive, base hit for all.

1210
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,000
Altman singles to center.

1211
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:56,000
And so once again, the tying one is on base with nobody out,

1212
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:02,000
enabling their pitcher, Galen Sisco, to come up and sacrifice.

1213
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:07,000
Altman single to center.

1214
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:08,000
Football score, Harry.

1215
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:12,000
At the end of three quarters, the football Cardinals lead 21 to 10

1216
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,000
over the Redskins.

1217
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:18,000
Okey-doke, here's Sisco.

1218
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:20,000
And the stretch, the pitch on the way.

1219
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,000
He bounce and it's a good one.

1220
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Boy, they can lay that ball down.

1221
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,000
There's a throw to first to Maxville.

1222
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:32,000
They just don't fail on that sacrifice, do they?

1223
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:35,000
And the play goes from Boyer to Maxville as Sisco sacrifices,

1224
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:43,000
and here is Bobby Klaus, right-handed batter.

1225
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:46,000
The ball game in the fifth.

1226
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:52,000
The Redbirds in a real struggle with the Mets, but leading two to one.

1227
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:59,000
Mets have the tying run at second base, one out.

1228
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,000
The stretch now, the pitch on the way.

1229
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:06,000
He swung and he missed the fastball strike one.

1230
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:08,000
One strike and no ball.

1231
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:16,000
One out.

1232
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:20,000
Groat edging a little bit towards Altman.

1233
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:22,000
He has a long lead.

1234
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:23,000
Simmons pitch.

1235
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:26,000
Strike two hit the corner.

1236
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:30,000
A fastball to nip the outside corner.

1237
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,000
So it's two strikes and no ball.

1238
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:33,000
One out.

1239
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:41,000
And a man in scoring position here in the fifth.

1240
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:43,000
The delivery on the way.

1241
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:45,000
There's a high pop fly.

1242
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:47,000
That should be caught by somebody.

1243
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:48,000
Maxville is there.

1244
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:49,000
He's under the ball.

1245
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,000
Oh, he lets it drop.

1246
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:54,000
And here's a runner on third holding up.

1247
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,000
Klaus winds up at second base.

1248
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:01,000
Shannon could have caught the ball, but Maxville had called for it,

1249
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:04,000
and the wind grabbed it.

1250
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:09,000
Come on, Mike, take those kinds.

1251
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:11,000
Okay, an easy pop fly.

1252
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Now they have the leading run at second, the tying run at third.

1253
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:20,000
Maxville had called for the ball, so Shannon let him have it.

1254
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:24,000
And he didn't play the wind at all.

1255
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:27,000
And it goes for a double.

1256
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:31,000
And now McMillan, the tough man up there with runners at second and third,

1257
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:43,000
and the infield has to come in.

1258
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:48,000
McMillan hit the ball sharply in the third, but into a double play.

1259
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:50,000
Right-hand batter waits.

1260
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:54,000
Simmons in a jam.

1261
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:55,000
Ready to wind up.

1262
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:57,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

1263
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,000
It's outside.

1264
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,000
Joe Christopher would be next.

1265
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,000
The Cardinals in trouble.

1266
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,000
Bob Gibson down on the bullpen.

1267
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:09,000
We lead 2-1, but a pop fly was just permitted to drop,

1268
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:14,000
as Dow Maxville miscalculated the wind.

1269
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:15,000
One ball, no strike.

1270
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,000
The pitch on the way.

1271
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:21,000
And it's outside, ball two.

1272
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,000
Two balls and nothing.

1273
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:27,000
Shannon in right, Flood in center, Brock in left.

1274
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:31,000
What really hurt about that one was that Shannon could have caught the ball,

1275
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:35,000
but Maxville kept yelling for it, so Shannon had to back away from him,

1276
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:40,000
fearing a collision whereby the ball might drop.

1277
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:47,000
And so by retreating, he wasn't able to lunge for the ball at Maxville.

1278
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:51,000
Completely misjudging it, allowed it to drop.

1279
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Two balls, no strike.

1280
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,000
In field, in.

1281
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:00,000
Can Simmons pitch out of this?

1282
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:04,000
He's behind the hit or two balls and nothing.

1283
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:11,000
Now he's ready.

1284
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:15,000
Into the wind if he goes, and here's the pitch on the way.

1285
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:19,000
Line drive is going to score both, and the Mets have taken the lead.

1286
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:24,000
Into the corner, McMillan's on his way to second base.

1287
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:26,000
A double to left.

1288
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:36,000
And the Cardinals trail three to two.

1289
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:40,000
McMillan, a tough hitter in the clutch.

1290
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:47,000
And now both of the two of the teams right now, if everything would end the way it is now,

1291
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:59,000
there'd be a triple tie starting tomorrow in Philadelphia, with the Reds playing the Phillies.

1292
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:04,000
Boy, that high pop line, that really hurt.

1293
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:09,000
Changed the whole inning around.

1294
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:12,000
And now Joe Christopher comes up.

1295
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:17,000
Gibson is down on the bullpen.

1296
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:21,000
And Gibson in relief, you don't know.

1297
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:25,000
Here comes the manager, Johnny Keen, out.

1298
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:31,000
And Gibson's going to be brought in here.

1299
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:39,000
Simmons has been tailed.

1300
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Boy, that's a shame on that pop fly.

1301
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:50,000
If Maxville had just stayed away from it, completely why it would have been all right.

1302
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:57,000
But it started out like a routine pop fly behind first, and he kept yelling for it

1303
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:03,000
and running out for it, so Shannon stopped coming in.

1304
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:07,000
And then he didn't come within five feet of it.

1305
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:10,000
Simmons is going to stay in there.

1306
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:15,000
Just a little chat.

1307
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:18,000
One out.

1308
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:25,000
Three to two in favor of the Mets.

1309
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:33,000
Boy, are we ever going to beat these fellows.

1310
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:38,000
All right, now Johnny just wanted to give Gibson a little more time to get ready.

1311
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:43,000
Now he's coming out, which means that Simmons will have to go out,

1312
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,000
because he's come out twice in one inning.

1313
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:50,000
All right, let's go now to Roy May in Cincinnati and see what the picture is there.

1314
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:54,000
We're going into the bottom of the fifth inning now with the Phillies out in the front,

1315
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,000
forward and nothing, and in the top of the inning, as you know,

1316
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:00,000
Richie Allen hits that long home run to center field, so that's the situation.

1317
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:05,000
Reds coming in the back, in the bottom of the fifth, Phillies leading forward and nothing.

1318
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:16,000
And the Reds are trailing forward and nothing, as you heard, and we're losing three to two here.

1319
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:23,000
And Bob Gibson comes in in relief.

1320
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:37,000
Let's see, for Gibson, this is only the fourth, the fifth time that he's relieved.

1321
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:40,000
He comes into the ballgame trailing three to two.

1322
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:48,000
Kurt Simmons has been knocked out here.

1323
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:59,000
Two doubles and a single, but one double with just a high pop fly behind first base.

1324
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:04,000
But young Dowd Knoxville misjudged, let the wind carry it away from him,

1325
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,000
and a drop behind him.

1326
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:09,000
As he was calling, he had it.

1327
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:25,000
So Gibson now comes in. He lost one to nothing Friday night.

1328
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:35,000
What makes this particularly tough for you, for us, is that the Reds are losing,

1329
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:44,000
which is the combination you need, a Cardinal victory and a Red defeat would clinch the pendant for the Cardinals.

1330
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:51,000
A Met victory and a Philadelphia victory would throw the three teams into a tie,

1331
01:37:51,000 --> 01:38:01,000
which would make all-time baseball history a three-way tie, necessitating a round-robin playoff.

1332
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:05,000
All right, Joe Christopher will be the batter. One out.

1333
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:16,000
A man in scoring position, the Mets lead three to two.

1334
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:20,000
The stretch, the hesitation, and the pitch to Christopher.

1335
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:24,000
Strike call, the good fastball.

1336
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:27,000
One strike and no balls.

1337
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:33,000
Christopher beat out a bun on the first. He's hitting 3-0-1. He's flying out to right on the fourth.

1338
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:37,000
Jim Hickman, another right-handed batter, will be next. Here's the stretch.

1339
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:41,000
And from the belt, the pitch on the way. A high fly ball to right.

1340
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:47,000
Shannon is there waiting for it. He's got it.

1341
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:52,000
Two gone. Here's Hickman, a right-handed batter.

1342
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:55,000
Simmons cannot be the winner in this game.

1343
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:58,000
He could be the loser if the Cardinals never catch up.

1344
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:01,000
He would be the loser if the Cardinals don't catch up.

1345
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:05,000
We've got a long way to go.

1346
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:09,000
Now Hickman comes out, nothing out of two in this ballgame.

1347
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:13,000
He had nothing out of four against Gibson Friday night.

1348
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:18,000
Man's in scoring position, one out.

1349
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:22,000
Now the stretch, the hesitation, and the pitch on the way.

1350
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:25,000
It's a fast ball high and inside ball one.

1351
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:29,000
One ball, no strikes.

1352
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:39,000
In the fifth.

1353
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:41,000
The delivery by Gibson on the way.

1354
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:48,000
A tap right in front of the plate. McCarver's got it. Throws the first in time.

1355
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:51,000
And so the inning is over and Gibson did the job.

1356
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:54,000
There's two runs score, however, on three hits.

1357
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,000
No errors in one left.

1358
01:39:56,000 --> 01:40:00,000
And now we go on to the bottom of the fifth.

1359
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:04,000
The Mets three, the Cardinals two.

1360
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:06,000
We like to talk to you ladies now about some very good reasons

1361
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:11,000
for using cotton-made instant spray starch on ironing day.

1362
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,000
First of all, cotton-made is a work saver.

1363
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:19,000
A few light sprays over hard-to-iron areas is all you need to make ironing smoother.

1364
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:21,000
Those stay neat longer.

1365
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:24,000
Use cotton-made on cuffs and collars especially.

1366
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:27,000
It'll keep them looking fresh all day.

1367
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:30,000
Secondly, cotton-made is a money saver.

1368
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:33,000
You see it comes in a safe plastic refillable bottle.

1369
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:37,000
You save a great deal over the cost of aerosol sprays.

1370
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:42,000
You don't throw the spray bottle away, you refill it from the economy-sized quart.

1371
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:46,000
And because cotton-made has a window spray type plunger,

1372
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:49,000
you get just the amount of spray that you need.

1373
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:51,000
You don't have all that pressure.

1374
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:53,000
You never use too much.

1375
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:57,000
And thirdly, get a bottle of cotton-made next shopping day.

1376
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:01,000
Be sure to look for the refill when your pint sprayer gets low.

1377
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:05,000
Cotton-made, a product of Anheuser-Busch, Incorporated.

1378
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:08,000
Before we move now to the last half of the fifth inning,

1379
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:12,000
with the Redbirds down three to two, we'll take time for station identification.

1380
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:15,000
This is the Cardinals Baseball Network.

1381
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:18,000
Here it works, and here it works up, I'm St. Louis.

1382
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:22,000
On the DX, gasoline contains the element boron.

1383
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:23,000
Fill up with...

1384
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:26,000
DX Super Boron!

1385
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:29,000
Drive a car that's alive!

1386
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,000
This is Harry Carrey with Jerry Groves.

1387
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,000
A beautiful Boer Stadium in St. Louis.

1388
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:37,000
The Cardinals trailing by a run.

1389
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:40,000
Three to two, here's Lou Brock to lead it off.

1390
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:43,000
Galen Sisco has been on the ropes, but he leads.

1391
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:45,000
Here's the pitch to Brock on the way.

1392
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,000
He had a cut and he missed strike one.

1393
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:50,000
Quickly, Roy, what's going on in Cincinnati?

1394
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:52,000
We're at the end of five now, Harry.

1395
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:55,000
Still, Phillies four reds jumping, and Jim Bunning looks sharp indeed.

1396
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:59,000
He's got these reds popping up all over the place.

1397
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:02,000
Let's hope he continues.

1398
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:05,000
One strike and no balls.

1399
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:08,000
Brock Bayhitter, here's the pitch on the way.

1400
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Outside, and that evens it up.

1401
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:13,000
One ball, one strike.

1402
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:20,000
Come on, Lou, let's pump one out on the grand avenue.

1403
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,000
One ball, one strike.

1404
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:26,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

1405
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:30,000
He had a cut and, boy, that's what he had in mind, but he fouled it off.

1406
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:33,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1407
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:36,000
It's at the end of five now, four to nothing.

1408
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,000
Philadelphia, Cincinnati.

1409
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:41,000
I haven't posted that other one yet.

1410
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1411
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:54,000
Lou Brock waits.

1412
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:57,000
A ball game and a fifth.

1413
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:03,000
Cisco's pitch is on the way, way outside.

1414
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:07,000
And the count evens it two balls, two strikes.

1415
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:10,000
What is it, Roy? I didn't get you.

1416
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:17,000
Joey J., Joey J., the new pitcher for the Reds in the sixth.

1417
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,000
Four to nothing, Philadelphia.

1418
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:23,000
Two balls, two strikes. Here's the pitch to Brock.

1419
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:26,000
Lou, ball three, barely missed the strike zone.

1420
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:30,000
Harry looked as though Cisco had trouble with his curve ball in the fourth inning,

1421
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:33,000
but here in the fifth he's had trouble getting the fast ball over,

1422
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:36,000
which is tailing away from the left-handed hitter.

1423
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:39,000
Cardinals one run behind.

1424
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:42,000
Gail and Cisco getting ready.

1425
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:47,000
There's the windup on the pitch.

1426
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:50,000
He double pumps and then stops, and now he starts all over again,

1427
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:52,000
and now he delivers, three and two.

1428
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,000
Ball four, he walked up.

1429
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:57,000
Maybe this is the inning we can break it open.

1430
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:02,000
Here's Bill White, who lined out the shot and bounced into a forceful.

1431
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:06,000
Cardinals have been out hit seven to five, outscored three to two.

1432
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:09,000
Activity down and the net fullback.

1433
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:12,000
Oh, there's Casey Stengel is playing it right down to the hilt,

1434
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:15,000
which is the way the game is supposed to be played.

1435
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:21,000
Here goes Hot Taylor out to talk to the pitcher.

1436
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:24,000
Bill White will be the batter.

1437
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:31,000
None of our left-handed batters have taken advantage of this wind yet.

1438
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Bob, Bill Hunter is the left-hander down there,

1439
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:40,000
and Bill Whitefield the right-hander.

1440
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:44,000
Come on, Bill, pump one out on the roof.

1441
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:47,000
Runner at first, nobody out.

1442
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:49,000
Lawyer will be next.

1443
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:52,000
Gail and Cisco getting set.

1444
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:54,000
There's the stretch.

1445
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:57,000
The throw to first and Brock is back.

1446
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,000
Cisco just lobbed the ball.

1447
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:04,000
Bob Taylor the catcher.

1448
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,000
Bill White the batter.

1449
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,000
Brock a lead.

1450
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:11,000
There's the pitch.

1451
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Pitch out, he's not going.

1452
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:15,000
One ball and no strikes.

1453
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Runner at first, nobody out, fifth inning.

1454
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:22,000
Runner at first, nobody out, fifth inning.

1455
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,000
Now the signal given.

1456
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:36,000
The stretch, Brock a lead.

1457
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,000
There's the pitch, he's not going.

1458
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Ball two.

1459
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:44,000
Two balls and no strikes.

1460
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:50,000
Let's go to Cincinnati and Rymay as Casey Stengel comes out of the dugout here.

1461
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:53,000
Right in the top of the sixth inning.

1462
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:55,000
The Spills have the start of something.

1463
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,000
They have runners at first and second, nobody out.

1464
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:00,000
And pitcher Jim Bunning at the plate.

1465
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,000
They're looking for the bun, of course.

1466
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:10,000
So all the fullies are threatening to get more up there with runners at first and second and nobody out.

1467
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:14,000
Casey Stengel is coming out to talk to Galen Sisco.

1468
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:17,000
A left hander is down on the bullpen.

1469
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:19,000
Will Hunter.

1470
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,000
Back to Cincinnati and Rymay.

1471
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Here in the sixth inning the bases are now loaded.

1472
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,000
As Bunning dropped the bunk, they let it roll and it stayed fair.

1473
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:31,000
Bases loaded, nobody out.

1474
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:33,000
Gonzalez will be the batter.

1475
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,000
Wow.

1476
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:38,000
Come on, let's us have an inning now.

1477
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:40,000
It looks like the Phillies might be headed for one.

1478
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:42,000
Already leading four to nothing now.

1479
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:44,000
The bases loaded and nobody out.

1480
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:50,000
Come on, Bill.

1481
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:52,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1482
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,000
Sisco stays in there.

1483
01:46:57,000 --> 01:46:59,000
Now the stretch, the hesitation.

1484
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:01,000
And here's the pitch.

1485
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:04,000
Line drive, right field, base hit.

1486
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:08,000
And Brock stops at second base.

1487
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:12,000
And the Cardinals have runners at first and second and nobody out.

1488
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:15,000
With Kenny Boyer coming up.

1489
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Boyer walked and hit into a double play.

1490
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:24,000
And let's see now what the Cardinals do.

1491
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:29,000
Will Boyer hit or will he bunt?

1492
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:33,000
There's a left hander and a right hander down on the bullpen for the Mets.

1493
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:36,000
Boyer this year has faced Sisco six times.

1494
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:39,000
He had a home run and a triple off him earlier this year.

1495
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:43,000
But he's 0 for 1 here this afternoon, grounded into the double play.

1496
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:47,000
Yet he did hit the ball very hard and plows for the double play.

1497
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:50,000
All right, Boyer the batter.

1498
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,000
Runners at first and second and nobody out.

1499
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:56,000
The Cardinals are trailing three to two.

1500
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:59,000
The Phillies are leading the Reds.

1501
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:01,000
Now to signal gibbon.

1502
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:04,000
Right handed batter digging in.

1503
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:09,000
This crowd is really alive.

1504
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:12,000
The stretch, the hesitation.

1505
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,000
And now the pitch.

1506
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:17,000
It's low of fastball, ball one.

1507
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:20,000
One ball and no strikes.

1508
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:26,000
Hunter the left hander, Wakefield the right hander continue to pump in the bullpen.

1509
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:32,000
This might be Sisco's last man if he doesn't retire him.

1510
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:37,000
Now the stretch and the pitch to Boyer.

1511
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:40,000
A hot shot, left field, base hit.

1512
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:42,000
The tying run is in.

1513
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:44,000
Here's another man racing for third.

1514
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:47,000
There goes Boyer the second with a double.

1515
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:50,000
The Cardinals have tied it up.

1516
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:54,000
As Boyer double pass Charlie Smith into left field.

1517
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:58,000
And now Casey Stengel coming out.

1518
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:01,000
The score tied 3-3.

1519
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:04,000
Runners at second and third and nobody out.

1520
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:08,000
And I believe it's going to be Wakefield.

1521
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:10,000
Bill Wakefield is going to come in.

1522
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:14,000
That's for Boyer run batted in number 119.

1523
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:18,000
Let's go now to Cincinnati and see what's happened there.

1524
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:24,000
And here at Crosley Field the Phillies now lead 6-0.

1525
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:26,000
6-0.

1526
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,000
Runners at first and second, nobody out.

1527
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:31,000
And Richie Allen at the plate.

1528
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:32,000
There you have it.

1529
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:38,000
The Phillies are now leading 6-0 and still batting.

1530
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,000
Oh what excitement here today.

1531
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:46,000
I wish you could all be here.

1532
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:48,000
Harry as we mentioned earlier,

1533
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:51,000
Cisco had fastball trouble in the inning.

1534
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:56,000
And when he did come in with what appeared to be an off speed pitch to Boyer 1-0,

1535
01:49:56,000 --> 01:50:00,000
Kenny rather than being over eager waited for the pitch

1536
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:03,000
and lined it just inside the line for the big double.

1537
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,000
Something else in Cincinnati.

1538
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:06,000
What is it Roy?

1539
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:09,000
Harry Richie Allen has broken this game wide open.

1540
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:11,000
They now lead 9-0.

1541
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:13,000
He just homered into the right field.

1542
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:16,000
9-0.

1543
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:20,000
9-0 in favor of the Phillies.

1544
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:26,000
The Courtaulds could clinch the panel with a victory here today.

1545
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:30,000
Holy cow.

1546
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:34,000
Hold on to that cold bottle of Bush Bavarian beer friends

1547
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:44,000
because a celebration might take place here today.

1548
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:50,000
Angelo down in Omaha just ordered 100 cases he tells me in a wire.

1549
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:56,000
And you know we were on Armed Forces Network the other day

1550
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:02,000
and Willie Buholzer was Gosee Bush's brother-in-law

1551
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:06,000
who lives in Lausanne, Switzerland

1552
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:12,000
listening to the Armed Forces Network really pulling for the St. Louis Cardinals.

1553
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:15,000
From Lausanne we just received this wire.

1554
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:22,000
I hope the Armed Forces is with us again today because the Cardinals maybe will clinch the National League pennant.

1555
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:27,000
They are carrying our broadcast all over the world today.

1556
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:34,000
Hey, hey, what else is new?

1557
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:48,000
Listen to this crowd.

1558
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:53,000
All right, Bill Wakefield is the new pitcher.

1559
01:51:53,000 --> 01:52:01,000
Game tied 3-3 the infield in.

1560
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:04,000
The windup by Wakefield the pitch to growth.

1561
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:10,000
Outside slider.

1562
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:16,000
Oh, face it now the Cardinals would be leading.

1563
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:19,000
Bill Wakefield who comes out of the Cardinal chain.

1564
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:21,000
One ball, no strike.

1565
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:23,000
Into the windup the pitch to growth.

1566
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:24,000
Here it is.

1567
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:28,000
He swung trying to hit the right field and he missed.

1568
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:32,000
One ball, one strike.

1569
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:43,000
They're listening to us down in Antigua in the British West Indies throughout the Caribbean area.

1570
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:49,000
So our appreciation to Gordon Bridge and the gang at Armed Forces Network.

1571
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:52,000
Here is growth.

1572
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,000
Here's the windup by Wakefield.

1573
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:55,000
Here's the pitch.

1574
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:57,000
He fouled it back and he's in the hole.

1575
01:52:57,000 --> 01:52:58,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1576
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:00,000
Tim McCarver will be next.

1577
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:02,000
Cardinals are tied here.

1578
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:03,000
3-3.

1579
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,000
Runners at second and third.

1580
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:08,000
Nobody out.

1581
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:10,000
The med infield playing shallow.

1582
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:12,000
Bill Wakefield in relief.

1583
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:16,000
He's out of Kansas City.

1584
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:22,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1585
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:25,000
Now all set.

1586
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:32,000
This crowd is in a hysterical frenzy.

1587
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:36,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1588
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:38,000
Now the line.

1589
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:40,000
Here's the pitch on the way.

1590
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:42,000
Fouled back and out of play.

1591
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:44,000
Grob trying to get a piece of that ball.

1592
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:46,000
The infield in.

1593
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:52,000
Two strikes and a ball on veteran shortstop Dick Grob.

1594
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:57,000
Bill Hunter a left-hander.

1595
01:53:57,000 --> 01:54:00,000
And Jack Fisher a right-hander down to the bullpen for the Mets.

1596
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:03,000
We've got to get some runs.

1597
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:10,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1598
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:13,000
Wakefield is ready.

1599
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:16,000
Here's the wind up now and the pitch on the way.

1600
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:18,000
He fouled it back again.

1601
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:19,000
Grob staying alive.

1602
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:23,000
He's trying to hit that ball to the first base side of the infield.

1603
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:24,000
Whites at third.

1604
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:25,000
Boyers at second.

1605
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:27,000
Brock has scored.

1606
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:29,000
The tying run.

1607
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:33,000
The Cardinals with a chance to blow it open here.

1608
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:40,000
And the Phillies are leading 9-0 at Cincinnati.

1609
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:42,000
Two strikes, one ball.

1610
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:44,000
The wind, the pitch.

1611
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:46,000
Here it is.

1612
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:49,000
A ground ball up the middle of the pitchers.

1613
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:50,000
The run scores.

1614
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:53,000
Gord is thrown out at first base.

1615
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:56,000
The Cardinals lead 4-3.

1616
01:54:56,000 --> 01:55:05,000
And Boyer held second base not knowing whether White would break for the plate or not.

1617
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:09,000
Give Wakefield an assist on the play also.

1618
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:11,000
He deflected the ball.

1619
01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:15,000
A run batted in for Grob, number 70.

1620
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:24,000
Here's McCarver now with a runner at second and only one out.

1621
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:32,000
That Richie Allen has really put on a show this last week.

1622
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:41,000
Certainly in this Cincinnati series.

1623
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:48,000
As soon as we get a moment, we'll have our man in Cincinnati come in.

1624
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:50,000
There's the stretch.

1625
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:53,000
They're going to walk McCarver intentionally now to bring on Mike Shannon.

1626
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:55,000
An intentional pass.

1627
01:55:55,000 --> 01:56:00,000
Well, while this is being done, Roy, any more up there in the sixth.

1628
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:03,000
So Harry, Bill Henry came in to put out the fire.

1629
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:05,000
Retired to free manny face.

1630
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:09,000
But a little bit too late as the Fills jumped all over.

1631
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:13,000
Joey J here in the sixth inning for five hits and five runs.

1632
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:18,000
Including a home run by Richie Allen, his second of the day, along with a double.

1633
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:19,000
Three out of four for Allen.

1634
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:21,000
So we're going into the bottom of the sixth.

1635
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:25,000
Nine to nothing, the Phillies open the reds.

1636
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:28,000
All right, McCarver has been intentionally passed.

1637
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:31,000
We have runners in first and second.

1638
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:32,000
And here's Mike Shannon.

1639
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:34,000
There's only one out.

1640
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:36,000
Down Maxville would be next.

1641
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:38,000
Oh, to pump one out of here now.

1642
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:44,000
To give a little push in.

1643
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:48,000
The Cardinals leading four to three.

1644
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:51,000
With Gibson in relief.

1645
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:54,000
Of Kurt Simmons.

1646
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:56,000
Now the stretch.

1647
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:58,000
Frown the bell.

1648
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:00,000
The pitch to Shannon.

1649
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:02,000
He takes it inside ball one.

1650
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:04,000
One ball, no strike.

1651
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:08,000
Shannon, who drove in a run our first of the day in the second inning.

1652
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:11,000
Hitting 262.

1653
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:14,000
Nine homers and 43 RBIs.

1654
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:16,000
One ball, no strikes.

1655
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:19,000
One out.

1656
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:24,000
All right, one ball, no strikes.

1657
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:27,000
There's Bill Wakefield getting ready.

1658
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:28,000
Now the pitch.

1659
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,000
Low ball, two.

1660
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:32,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1661
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:37,000
Maxville would be next.

1662
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:40,000
Oh, for an in-betweener now to get a little breathing room.

1663
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:43,000
Cardinals one run ahead.

1664
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:46,000
The Phillies nine runs ahead.

1665
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:52,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1666
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:54,000
The stretch, the hesitation.

1667
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:56,000
And the pitch on the way.

1668
01:57:56,000 --> 01:58:00,000
Straight, slider hit the outside corner of the knee.

1669
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:04,000
Bill Wakefield, a product of the Ban Johnson League.

1670
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:10,000
The football Cardinals beat Washington 23 to 17.

1671
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:15,000
Two balls and a strike.

1672
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:20,000
Right hand batter waiting.

1673
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:22,000
Mike Shannon, the hitter.

1674
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:24,000
The pitch.

1675
01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:28,000
He swings at a curve and he made him look bad on that one.

1676
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:39,000
Here comes the five for the Phillies on the scoreboard.

1677
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:46,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1678
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:50,000
Right handed batter digging in.

1679
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:53,000
There's the stretch.

1680
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:55,000
And now the pitch.

1681
01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:57,000
He struck him out.

1682
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:00,000
Shannon goes down swinging.

1683
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:01,000
So here's Dale Maxville.

1684
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:05,000
He drove in a run on the fourth.

1685
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:08,000
Can he drive in another one here on the fifth?

1686
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:11,000
Bob Gibson would be next.

1687
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:18,000
Four to three in favor of the Cardinals.

1688
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:25,000
Maxville popped out and singled in a run.

1689
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:29,000
Now the one-one, the first pitch is a curveball outside.

1690
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:32,000
One ball and no strikes.

1691
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:40,000
Oh, if we win this one, the World Series will start here Wednesday against the Yankees.

1692
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:44,000
We've got to win this ball game.

1693
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:46,000
One ball, no strikes.

1694
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:47,000
The pitch.

1695
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:49,000
Outside, ball two.

1696
01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:54,000
Two balls and nothing.

1697
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:59,000
Dale Maxville, that little fellow, but he can sting that ball.

1698
01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:01,000
The outfield plays him shallow.

1699
02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:04,000
They don't expect him to hit for power.

1700
02:00:04,000 --> 02:00:08,000
They expect him to hit for power.

1701
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:12,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1702
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:14,000
Now the stretch.

1703
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:17,000
And from the belt, here's the pitch.

1704
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:19,000
Ground ball to the right, a nice hit.

1705
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:21,000
Here's the runner going to try to score.

1706
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:23,000
Christopher fumbles the ball.

1707
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:26,000
And the Cardinals have another run.

1708
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:34,000
Maxville, singled the right.

1709
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:38,000
And here comes Casey Stengelod.

1710
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:42,000
So Maxville certainly is atone for that pop lie.

1711
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:44,000
He's driven in two runs.

1712
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:50,000
And the Redbirds lead 5-3 with two out and pitcher Bob Gibson coming up.

1713
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:57,000
Jack Fisher, a right-hander, is going to be the next pitcher.

1714
02:00:57,000 --> 02:01:03,000
What a motion packed with the installation of Dale Maxville into the lineup.

1715
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:10,000
You can imagine what went through his mind, the mind of anyone who would come into a game deciding the pennant, Harry.

1716
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:15,000
This young man had only been to the plate 22 times prior to this ball game,

1717
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:26,000
and he has come up with two clutch hits and driven in two big runs, perhaps the biggest runs of his career.

1718
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:29,000
All right, it will be Jack Fisher.

1719
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:35,000
So let's get a later report now as he walks in from the bullpen from Cincinnati.

1720
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:39,000
Here in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Reds are batting with one out.

1721
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:41,000
They have a man at first.

1722
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:44,000
And Chico Ruiz is at the plate.

1723
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:46,000
Billy's leading 9-0.

1724
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:52,000
And Harry, it's good to hear that's good news from St. Louis.

1725
02:01:52,000 --> 02:02:00,000
All right, Jack Fisher takes over the third pitcher.

1726
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:06,000
He started the ball game yesterday, was knocked out.

1727
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:12,000
Cisco started today, then Wakefield.

1728
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:21,000
Bob Gibson, who was stymied trying for his 19th victory when he lost 1-0 Friday,

1729
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:27,000
would be the pitcher of record if the Cardinals can hold this lead.

1730
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:37,000
So he still would have a chance to win his 19th.

1731
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:40,000
Sadecki has won 20.

1732
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:44,000
Simmons has won 18.

1733
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:47,000
Gibson will be trying for number 19.

1734
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:53,000
And a youngster from Webster Groves, Billy Southworth, playing in a major league game,

1735
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:56,000
just hit his first home run.

1736
02:02:56,000 --> 02:03:00,000
Billy Southworth playing for the Braves is homered with a man on.

1737
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:06,000
He's a graduate from Webster Groves High School, a great athlete over there.

1738
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:15,000
Well, Bob Gibson is going to be the hitter.

1739
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:18,000
We have runners at first and third.

1740
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:22,000
Maxville, who has driven in two runs today.

1741
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:30,000
He's single on the ground just beyond the glove of that crane pole.

1742
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:36,000
Oh, what a finish.

1743
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:44,000
You all enjoying yourselves here at the ballpark today?

1744
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:48,000
Wonderful.

1745
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:51,000
All right, here's Bob Gibson now, and here's the pitch.

1746
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:54,000
And it's a slider outside.

1747
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:56,000
Gibson a good-hitting pitcher.

1748
02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:58,000
Five to three in favor of the Cardinals.

1749
02:03:58,000 --> 02:04:04,000
We're in the last of the fifth.

1750
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:07,000
Phillies have a big lead over the Reds.

1751
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:09,000
Now the stretch.

1752
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:11,000
And the pitch on the way.

1753
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:14,000
He folded out a play into the upper deck.

1754
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:35,000
One ball and one strike.

1755
02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:38,000
There's the hesitation from the belt.

1756
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:40,000
The pitch on the way.

1757
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:41,000
But he missed it.

1758
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:42,000
Strike two.

1759
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:44,000
Two strikes and the ball.

1760
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:45,000
It's a tough pitch to bump.

1761
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:48,000
Caught the outside corner at the knee.

1762
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:55,000
Two strikes and the ball.

1763
02:04:55,000 --> 02:05:01,000
Now ready.

1764
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:04,000
From the belt.

1765
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:06,000
Fisher steps back.

1766
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:08,000
Two strikes, one ball.

1767
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:10,000
The pitch.

1768
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:13,000
Slider outside.

1769
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:27,000
That evens it up with two balls, two strikes.

1770
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:31,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1771
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:33,000
The pitch to Gibson.

1772
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:35,000
And here it is.

1773
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:36,000
A high pop foul.

1774
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:38,000
Might go out of play.

1775
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:42,000
Over near the stands and nobody can reach it.

1776
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:45,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1777
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:50,000
The Cardinals with a chance to clinch the National League pennant.

1778
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:54,000
As the Reds are trailing nine to nothing.

1779
02:05:54,000 --> 02:06:01,000
The Redbirds leading five to three.

1780
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:05,000
Jack Fisher getting ready.

1781
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:13,000
Oh, the Fates wouldn't be so cruel as to deprive us this one, would they?

1782
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:15,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1783
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:17,000
A stretch.

1784
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:19,000
The pitch.

1785
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:21,000
He struck him out.

1786
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:23,000
Gibson goes down swinging.

1787
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:25,000
Well, that ends the inning, but a good inning.

1788
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:29,000
Three runs score on three hits.

1789
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:31,000
No errors, two left.

1790
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:34,000
The Cardinals have stranded seven and at the end of five,

1791
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:41,000
The Cardinals five, the Mets three.

1792
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:43,000
Well, here we're going into the six.

1793
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:48,000
Charlie Smith, who homered and pumped up will be the hitter against Bob Gibson.

1794
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:50,000
Let's go to Cincinnati now.

1795
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:52,000
Roy, what happened in the bottom of the sixth?

1796
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:55,000
Well, Harry, we're going into the seventh now.

1797
02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:57,000
The Phillies still leading nine to nothing.

1798
02:06:57,000 --> 02:07:00,000
These Reds can't do a thing against Jim Bunning.

1799
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:04,000
He's allowed just three hits, struck out four and walked no one.

1800
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:07,000
And Tony Taylor will lead off here in the seventh inning.

1801
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:09,000
The Phillies leading nine to nothing.

1802
02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:11,000
All right, here's Charlie Smith and the first pitch swung on.

1803
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:13,000
A little fly ball to the short center.

1804
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:16,000
Flood coming on and he makes the catch.

1805
02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:19,000
Smith popped the flood in short center field.

1806
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:23,000
One out.

1807
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:27,000
Well, I know there's going to be a lot of commotion and excitement after the game.

1808
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:30,000
If it ends like we all pray it does.

1809
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:34,000
So as we go along, we certainly want to express our appreciation.

1810
02:07:34,000 --> 02:07:39,000
On behalf of everybody up here,

1811
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:42,000
Roy, you're a loyalty and friendship down through the years.

1812
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:45,000
It's been a hectic, marvelous, wonderful year.

1813
02:07:45,000 --> 02:07:50,000
Here's a pitch to Bob Taylor and it's a curved strike call.

1814
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:53,000
To our stations along the line.

1815
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:57,000
To our originating station with Bob Hyland.

1816
02:07:57,000 --> 02:07:59,000
To our Gardner advertising agency.

1817
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:03,000
Here's a pitch. There's a curved strike call.

1818
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:06,000
Bill Fisher and Ed Langan.

1819
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:09,000
To all the people here at the ballpark.

1820
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:14,000
Doggie Lynch and Emma Bach and Ed Keating and Eddie Messier.

1821
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:16,000
Among others, two strikes, no balls.

1822
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:19,000
A pitch to Taylor's outside.

1823
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:23,000
To our various engineers.

1824
02:08:23,000 --> 02:08:26,000
Our originating station.

1825
02:08:26,000 --> 02:08:29,000
Roy May who's in Cincinnati today.

1826
02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:31,000
For Jack Buck and for Jerry Gross.

1827
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:33,000
Here's a pitch. Hot shot to left.

1828
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:35,000
Oh, Gross made a great effort.

1829
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:40,000
But it's a single and Taylor is on with his second hit.

1830
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:46,000
So just in case we don't have a chance at the end of the game and all the excitement that might be existing.

1831
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:56,000
To Bernie Fox and the rest of the fellows who do so, so much for us.

1832
02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:02,000
Too many of the engineers to mention but we mention them all after every game.

1833
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:05,000
Here's Ed Craneful.

1834
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:11,000
Boy, here's a threatThe left-handed batterThe pitch is a strike call.

1835
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:14,000
He drove in the only run against Gibson Friday night.

1836
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:22,000
Five to three, the Cardinals are leading.

1837
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:25,000
Now from the belt, the pitch.

1838
02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:33,000
Low to our sponsors, those on the dugout show and those on the scoreboard show.

1839
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:35,000
And above all, those on the baseball.

1840
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:39,000
Bush, Bavarian, and Beer and the American Tobacco Company.

1841
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:41,000
One ball, one strike.

1842
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:44,000
The pitch on the way to Craneful is a strike call.

1843
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:52,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1844
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:55,000
We're in the sixth.

1845
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:58,000
Five to three in favor of the Cardinals.

1846
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:00,000
Who would like to get a few more runs?

1847
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:03,000
Like about seven more.

1848
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:06,000
Two strikes, one ball.

1849
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:08,000
And the pitch on the way.

1850
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Fast ball outside.

1851
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:18,000
It's even up at two balls, two strikes.

1852
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:21,000
Yeah.

1853
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:24,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1854
02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:27,000
Ed Craneful waiting. Here's the pitch.

1855
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:30,000
Low outside, ball three.

1856
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:32,000
Three balls, two strikes.

1857
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:37,000
On Ed Craneful, a dangerous left-handed batter who's hit ten home runs,

1858
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:40,000
including a big one with two on yesterday.

1859
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:43,000
Got to worry about himThe Cardinals leading only by two.

1860
02:10:43,000 --> 02:10:45,000
It's still anybody's ball game.

1861
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:48,000
Three balls, two strikes.

1862
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:50,000
The stretch.

1863
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:52,000
Here's the pitch.

1864
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,000
He walked him.

1865
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:58,000
So that men at first and second with one out, let's go to Cincinnati, right?

1866
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:02,000
In the seventh, the Phillies now lead ten to nothing,

1867
02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:06,000
as Tony Taylor scored on Bobby Wine's sacrifice fly.

1868
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:08,000
After you, Harry.

1869
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:13,000
So the Phillies continue to add. They now lead ten to nothing in the seventh.

1870
02:11:13,000 --> 02:11:20,000
Here's George Altman.

1871
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:23,000
Left-handed batter, Bob Gibson.

1872
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:27,000
Altman represents the lead run of the plate, the stretch.

1873
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:28,000
Here's the pitch.

1874
02:11:28,000 --> 02:11:30,000
He swings and he misses. Strike one.

1875
02:11:30,000 --> 02:11:34,000
One strike and oh ball.

1876
02:11:34,000 --> 02:11:40,000
One blowing out towards right field, and you've got to worry about that every time a left-handed batter comes up.

1877
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:44,000
Gordon Richardson starts limbering up.

1878
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:47,000
Gibson pitched a tough ball game Friday night. Here's the stretch.

1879
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:51,000
The pitch to Altman, low, and that evens it up.

1880
02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:56,000
One ball, one strike.

1881
02:11:56,000 --> 02:12:03,000
Altman has walked and singled in this ball game.

1882
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:06,000
The Mets.

1883
02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:08,000
Threatening here in the sixth.

1884
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:10,000
The pitch is on the way.

1885
02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:12,000
A bouncing ball, it's fouled.

1886
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:15,000
And boy, you can see Altman trying to pull.

1887
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:24,000
Because the wind is blowing strongly towards right, any ball hit at all well will be carried out of here.

1888
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:27,000
And Altman represents the lead run.

1889
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:30,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1890
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:33,000
And the lead is only two.

1891
02:12:33,000 --> 02:12:41,000
Two strikes and a ball.

1892
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:46,000
Now the stretch, the hesitation, and the pitch on the way.

1893
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:49,000
Curve into the dirt.

1894
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:51,000
He really tried to snap that one off.

1895
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:53,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1896
02:12:53,000 --> 02:13:04,000
One out, runners at first and second, the ball game in the sixth.

1897
02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:07,000
Bob Gibson waiting.

1898
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:09,000
Now the stretch.

1899
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:11,000
Here's the pitch to Altman.

1900
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:13,000
A ground ball to Bill White.

1901
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:16,000
He's got it. Gives it to Gibson covering.

1902
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:20,000
The runners advance to second and third, and the pitcher will be coming up.

1903
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:24,000
And it's been rolled out from Bill White to Bob Gibson.

1904
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:29,000
And now let's see, just see Gander is going to be the pinch hitter.

1905
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:32,000
Gander is going to pinch hit.

1906
02:13:32,000 --> 02:13:34,000
A left-handed batter with power.

1907
02:13:34,000 --> 02:13:37,000
We're going to pause here for station identification.

1908
02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:40,000
This is the Cardinals baseball network.

1909
02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:43,000
Kim works on, Kim works up, I'm St. Louis.

1910
02:13:43,000 --> 02:13:46,000
Manager Johnny Keenaw talking to Bob Gibson.

1911
02:13:46,000 --> 02:13:49,000
Gander, a left-handed batter.

1912
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:54,000
Kevin Homers, driven in 35 runs, batting 271.

1913
02:13:54,000 --> 02:13:58,000
He's always dangerous, but particularly on this kind of a day,

1914
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:01,000
with the wind blowing strongly towards right.

1915
02:14:01,000 --> 02:14:05,000
I have to keep repeating that because that can be a big factor.

1916
02:14:05,000 --> 02:14:11,000
It's already been one on a pop fly that was blown away from Dow Maxville.

1917
02:14:11,000 --> 02:14:16,000
Looking back, Harry, Gander hit a home runoff, Bob Gibson, in a ball game earlier.

1918
02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:20,000
So he has had good success against Bob.

1919
02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:22,000
Stengel perhaps remembered that.

1920
02:14:22,000 --> 02:14:27,000
He hit a two-run, first-inning home run in a ball game played here in St. Louis.

1921
02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:30,000
Eventually Gibson hung on to win the ball game,

1922
02:14:30,000 --> 02:14:34,000
but he can hit the ball out even without a win. Good power.

1923
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:40,000
So Gibson's going to stay in there, and he'll pitch to Jesse Gander.

1924
02:14:40,000 --> 02:14:49,000
There's two out, and the Mets will have a new pitcher, Bill Hunter,

1925
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:55,000
facing the Cardinals in the sixth.

1926
02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:59,000
They're going to want Gander intentionally to get to Bobby Klaus,

1927
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:03,000
a daring move because this is the lead run of the ball game.

1928
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:08,000
Gander is going to be intentionally passed.

1929
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:14,000
Klaus has had a single and a double, two out of three.

1930
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:23,000
Klaus against Gibson Friday night, fanned twice, but had a base hit.

1931
02:15:23,000 --> 02:15:28,000
So the lead run will be at first base with two out.

1932
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:32,000
And Klaus, the right-handed batter, will be coming up.

1933
02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:39,000
An intentional pass. We're in the sixth.

1934
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:44,000
Bobby Klaus up there, and Roy McMillan will be next.

1935
02:15:44,000 --> 02:15:57,000
So Gibson in a jam.

1936
02:15:57,000 --> 02:16:03,000
Now to wind up, and here's a pitch. It's a strike call.

1937
02:16:03,000 --> 02:16:09,000
One strike and no balls. A fast-moving slider caught the outside corner.

1938
02:16:09,000 --> 02:16:14,000
One strike, no balls. Two men are out.

1939
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:22,000
Here's a pitch. Slider missed outside. That evens it up.

1940
02:16:22,000 --> 02:16:32,000
Bobby Klaus batting 221. Right-handed batter. Gibson getting ready.

1941
02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:38,000
Now to wind up, and here's a pitch on the way. He's swinging. He missed strike two.

1942
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:45,000
Two strikes and a ball. We're in the sixth.

1943
02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:54,000
The Cardinals leading 5-3. Right-handed batter waiting.

1944
02:16:54,000 --> 02:17:00,000
Now to wind. Here's a pitch on the way. He foul-tipped it back.

1945
02:17:00,000 --> 02:17:11,000
Two strikes and a ball, and Klaus was trying to hit that ball in the right field.

1946
02:17:11,000 --> 02:17:16,000
Bob Gibson gets set. Bases are jammed.

1947
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:27,000
Now to wind up, and here's the pitch. Just missed with it inside, and it evens up a two-balls, two strikes.

1948
02:17:27,000 --> 02:17:32,000
The right-hand batter digging in. He hit his fourth home run of the year yesterday.

1949
02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:43,000
Two balls, two strikes. Here's the wind-up. Here's the pitch. Ball three now.

1950
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:52,000
And we're really in a jamThe runners will be going. Three balls, two strikes.

1951
02:17:52,000 --> 02:18:00,000
They want to look at the baseball. He got out in front of Bobby Klaus, but now has come down to a crucial pitch.

1952
02:18:00,000 --> 02:18:17,000
Three balls and two strikes, two out, bases loaded. Cardinals leading only 5-3.

1953
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:24,000
Crowd quiet. You can hear a pin drop. Three balls, two strikes, the stretch.

1954
02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:32,000
Here's the pitch. Everybody going. Forced in a run.

1955
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:40,000
He walked him, and now that makes it 5-4. And here is a tough hitter in the clutch, Ryan McMillan.

1956
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:50,000
He doubled in two runs and a fifth to put him into the lead. He comes up again in the spot where he can put him into the lead.

1957
02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:57,000
Lauren Richardson and Bob Humphrey in the bullpen.

1958
02:18:57,000 --> 02:19:03,000
Gibson has walked three men in this inning. Now the wind-up, and here's the pitch.

1959
02:19:03,000 --> 02:19:09,000
Outside, ball one. One ball, no strikes.

1960
02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:16,000
At the end of seven innings, the Phillies lead the Reds 10-0, but we have our own problems here.

1961
02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:21,000
One ball, no strikesThe pitch now. A bouncing ball up the middle.

1962
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:27,000
Maxville is there, and he steps on the bag for the force out.

1963
02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:33,000
A high hopper that Maxville fielded while running to his right stepped on the bag for the force play.

1964
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:42,000
The inning is over. One run. One hit. No errors. Three left.

1965
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:59,000
And we go into the bottom of the sixthThe Cardinals five, the Mets four.

1966
02:19:59,000 --> 02:20:08,000
Well, we go into the bottom of the sixth, and we'll have the tamponabatting order against Will Hunter, who did a fine relief job against the Cardinals.

1967
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:20,000
And again, the Galen-Cisco beat us two to one.

1968
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:36,000
So Will Hunter will be the pitcher, and Jesse Gonder, Gonder will be batting in the ninth slot, and Hunter, the pitcher, will be hitting in the sixth spot.

1969
02:20:36,000 --> 02:20:41,000
And Hawk Taylor is out of the ball again.

1970
02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:52,000
This one is nip and tuck, five to four in favor of the Cardinals in the bottom of the sixth, while at the end of seven in Cincinnati, the Phillies lead 10-0.

1971
02:20:52,000 --> 02:21:02,000
The Cardinals could clinch the pennant with a victory. We've got to win to clinch it.

1972
02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:11,000
If we lose, there would be a three-way tie.

1973
02:21:11,000 --> 02:21:21,000
All right, here's Flood. He's hitless. Nothing out of two. Bill Hunter on the hill.

1974
02:21:21,000 --> 02:21:34,000
There's the pitch on the way. It's a fastball strike off. Hunter, a hard-throwing left-hander.

1975
02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:43,000
Now the line, the pitch on the way. Hot shot to the shot stop. McMillan's got it. Over to first base in time.

1976
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:57,000
So Flood rolls out to Roy McMillan. That will bring up Lou Brock. He's had one out of two.

1977
02:21:57,000 --> 02:22:03,000
He's been on base every time, once with a base hit, once on an air, once on the wall.

1978
02:22:03,000 --> 02:22:09,000
One out, nobody on. Five to four in favor of the Cardinals.

1979
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:14,000
The windup now, the pitch is on the way. A line drive base hit in the left center.

1980
02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:18,000
He might be able to get a double out of it. He's around first. He's going to try for second.

1981
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:24,000
Here's Altman's throw. He is safe.

1982
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:32,000
So Brock doubles in the left center. He just took advantage of Altman's weak throwing arm.

1983
02:22:32,000 --> 02:22:41,000
No question about it, Harry. Schultz wasted no time. Neither did Brock and Benson on the play earlier on the base hit to Altman in left field.

1984
02:22:41,000 --> 02:22:51,000
Sent McCarver in a situation earlier and there was no hesitation knowing the capabilities of the out-feeders and especially Altman who was with the ball club.

1985
02:22:51,000 --> 02:23:02,000
Here now is Bill White, a man in scoring position with one outThe Cardinals leading by a run five to four.

1986
02:23:02,000 --> 02:23:07,000
The stretch. And the pitch.

1987
02:23:07,000 --> 02:23:33,000
There's a drive. Way back. It might be. It could be. It is. A whole run. Listen to the crowd.

1988
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:44,000
Look at those red birds in that dugout. Everybody standing up. And the Cardinals lead seven to four now.

1989
02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:55,000
Well, is that a happy dugout?

1990
02:23:55,000 --> 02:24:08,000
Here now is Kenny Boyer. That was White's 21st home run. There's the pitch by Hunter. And it's high.

1991
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:17,000
That was not supposed to hit left handers, is he Harry? He really teed off on that one. It looked like a two iron drive. It kept going higher and higher.

1992
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:27,000
Landed out on Grand Avenue. Here's the pitch to Boyer now. And it's high and outside. Ball two. Two balls and no strike.

1993
02:24:27,000 --> 02:24:38,000
The red birds lead seven to four. Bottom of the sixth. Cincinnati is losing ten to nothing in the eighth.

1994
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:49,000
Here's the pitch to Kenny Boyer. And it's high and outside. Ball three. A double by Brock and a homer by White.

1995
02:24:49,000 --> 02:25:07,000
White now has 102 RBIs for the year. Third straight year, of course, and he's driven in 100 runs or more. He had exactly 102 two years ago.

1996
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:20,000
Now the line. And here's the pitch. High and inside. He walked him. And the crowd, hungry for more runs, are really clenching.

1997
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:33,000
In 1962, White drove in 102 runs. About a 324. Last year, he had 29 homers that year. Or rather, 20 homers. He drove in 102.

1998
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:56,000
Last year, 27 homers, 109 RBIs. And this year, 21 homers and 102 RBI. Boyer on at first base, one out.

1999
02:25:56,000 --> 02:26:12,000
And he groped the batterThe stretch. Now the pitch. High fastball. Grewd, who drove in a run on a big fifth inning, and also scored one on the fourth when he let off with a double.

2000
02:26:12,000 --> 02:26:17,000
One ball, no strikes.

2001
02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:27,000
Ninety-three games will win the pennantThe Cardinals won 93 last year and finished six games out.

2002
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:37,000
Their 93rd victory, if they get it today, will clench the pennant. One ball, no strikes.

2003
02:26:37,000 --> 02:26:54,000
The pitch. Foul back into the stands. One ball, one strike.

2004
02:26:54,000 --> 02:27:08,000
Dick Grewd, the hitter. Two runs are inThe Redbirds lead. Seven to four. Bill White hit one out of sight. Bill Hunter getting ready.

2005
02:27:08,000 --> 02:27:20,000
And now the stretch. From the bow. And a pitch to Grewd. Strike call. Two strikes and a ball. A fastball over the inside corner.

2006
02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:30,000
Right hand hitter up there. Cardinals again with a three-run lead. In fact, it's their longest lead. Seven to four.

2007
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:43,000
They led one to nothing. Tied one-one, then led two to one. Then behind three to two, then led five to three. And now lead seven to four.

2008
02:27:43,000 --> 02:27:53,000
The stretchThe pitch to Grewd. And here it is. Turn around and he missed. Struck him out.

2009
02:27:53,000 --> 02:28:02,000
Grewd swung in a high fastball and struck out. And that will bring up McCarver. Seven to four, the Cardinals lead in the last of the sixth.

2010
02:28:02,000 --> 02:28:26,000
McCarver left-handed batter. He doubled in the second and scored our first run. He's had one out of two.

2011
02:28:26,000 --> 02:28:39,000
Now the sign given. Ready. And the pitch is on the way to McCarver. There she goes! Way back! It might be out of here! It could be!

2012
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:47,000
It's off the screen! Here's another man going to score! Here's McCarver stopping at second. He's going to be caught now between second and third.

2013
02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:59,000
Here's Charlie Smith. Hey! the throw hits McCarver! Bounces in the left right field! Now he's trying for third! the throw's going to get him! He's out!

2014
02:28:59,000 --> 02:29:10,000
But Tim doubled off the right field screen. And the Cardinals lead eight to four. In getting back to second base safely, the throw hit him on the shoulder and bounced into right.

2015
02:29:10,000 --> 02:29:23,000
But Christopher recovered it and threw to third and McCarver was out. So it's a double, a run down and in for McCarver as Boyer scored all the way from first.

2016
02:29:23,000 --> 02:29:35,000
It's a big inning for the Redbirds who score three. There were three hits. And let's see if they charge an error. And nobody left on base.

2017
02:29:35,000 --> 02:29:43,000
At the end of sixth, the Cardinals eight and the Mets four.

2018
02:29:43,000 --> 02:29:54,000
We're going to the top of the seventh. Confetti's already being streaming all over the place.

2019
02:29:54,000 --> 02:30:08,000
Oh, if this can hold up until the end of the top of the ninth, this joint will go crazy. In fact, it might be crazy now. I know I am.

2020
02:30:08,000 --> 02:30:19,000
Eight to four in favor of the Cardinals. You know, let's just for a moment go back to Cincinnati. Roy, are you there?

2021
02:30:19,000 --> 02:30:30,000
Here Harry, we're in the bottom of the eighth. They're two out. Jim Bunning continues to be superbThe Phillies still lead ten to nothing and the fans have started to leave here.

2022
02:30:30,000 --> 02:30:41,000
Okay, so that game's going to end before this one. Here's Joe Christopher to lead off the seventh inning.

2023
02:30:41,000 --> 02:30:49,000
We're in the top of the seventh. Eight to four in favor of the Cardinals.

2024
02:30:49,000 --> 02:31:00,000
Now the wind up by Gibson the pitch. Christopher ducks out of the way. Ball one.

2025
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:10,000
Boy, I'm glad that game in Cincinnati has lopsided. I don't think we could stand anymore, except one ball, no strikes.

2026
02:31:10,000 --> 02:31:21,000
Here's the pitch on the way and it's high on inside ball twoThe Phillies are leading ten to nothingThe Cardinals are winning eight to four.

2027
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:30,000
If that continues, the Cardinals clinch the pen and today with a 93rd victory, two balls, no strikes.

2028
02:31:30,000 --> 02:31:45,000
Joe Christopher, the hitter here in the seventh. Now the pitch. Inside. Did it? He claims it hit him and it did. Hit by a pitch ball. Barely ticked him.

2029
02:31:45,000 --> 02:31:56,000
Joe Christopher from the Virgin Isles. Just ticked by a pitch ball and that'll bring up Jim Hickman.

2030
02:31:56,000 --> 02:32:05,000
Gibson has been struggling. He's walked three, he's hit one, he's allowed one hit. He's allowed one run.

2031
02:32:05,000 --> 02:32:13,000
But he's out in front. Eight to four and activity now on the bullpen. Barney Schultz gets up.

2032
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:33,000
Along with Gordon Richardson. So here's Hickman. And here comes manager Johnny Key now.

2033
02:32:33,000 --> 02:32:43,000
We might have a change here. Gibson on the hill has been struggling. We're in the seventh.

2034
02:32:43,000 --> 02:32:53,000
Keane talks to the Cardinal pitcher. Big crowd on hand. Must be around 30,000.

2035
02:32:53,000 --> 02:33:04,000
Gibson will stay in there. Jim Hickman the batter. He's 0 for 3 today. Boy, these Mets don't go down easy at all.

2036
02:33:04,000 --> 02:33:14,000
Good thing we're scoring runs today because so are they. Eight to four in favor of the Cardinals.

2037
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:34,000
Now Gibson gets set. Here's the pitch on the way. Strike call to Hickman. A fast ball. One strike and no ball.

2038
02:33:34,000 --> 02:33:45,000
Now from the beltThe pitch. A slow tap foul. Strike two. Two strikes and nothing.

2039
02:33:45,000 --> 02:33:57,000
A runner at first, nobody out. We're in the seventh. At the end of eight innings at Cincinnati, the Phillies 10, the Reds nothing.

2040
02:33:57,000 --> 02:34:10,000
Now the stretchThe pitch. It's high. Two strikes and a ball on Jim Hickman.

2041
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:22,000
Top of the seventh. Eight to four Cardinals. Now the sign and the stretch. From the belt, the pitch.

2042
02:34:22,000 --> 02:34:30,000
Swung and he fouled it back and boy he had a good cut at that one. Come on, no more excitement. Let's just get these guys out.

2043
02:34:30,000 --> 02:34:44,000
One, two, three. Get it over with. Two strikes and a ball. Right hand batter digging in.

2044
02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:55,000
And the pitch on the way. A high pop fly on the infield. Grode calling for the ball. Waiting for it. He takes it.

2045
02:34:55,000 --> 02:35:02,000
So Hickman popped to Grode. One away. And here's Charlie Smith.

2046
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:07,000
Charlie, a right-handed batter, tied up the ball game with a home run on the fourth.

2047
02:35:07,000 --> 02:35:17,000
The Mets tied it up 1-1 at the fourth, then took the lead 3-2 in the fifth. But the Cardinals scored three in the bottom in the fifth and three in the sixth.

2048
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:25,000
Bill White has the only Cardinal home run. Charlie Smith has hit the only one for the Mets.

2049
02:35:25,000 --> 02:35:43,000
Now the stretch and the pitch to Smith. It's a strike call. One strike and no ball.

2050
02:35:43,000 --> 02:35:49,000
Bob Gibson readyThe pitch. Swung, pop fly on the infield. That's going to be easy.

2051
02:35:49,000 --> 02:35:57,000
Maxville under the ball. And he has it. Two out here in the top of the seventh.

2052
02:35:57,000 --> 02:36:05,000
And that will bring up a pinch hitter now for Hunter. See who the hitter is going to be.

2053
02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:11,000
There's two out of runner at firstThe Cardinals leading 8-4.

2054
02:36:11,000 --> 02:36:21,000
The St. Louis Cardinals with a chance to clinch the 1964 pennant.

2055
02:36:21,000 --> 02:36:27,000
Larry Elliott, a left-handed batter, is going to hit for Hunter.

2056
02:36:27,000 --> 02:36:31,000
Funny how things develop.

2057
02:36:31,000 --> 02:36:41,000
About 10 days ago we all were hopeful. We figured we had an outside chance because we played three games of the Phillies

2058
02:36:41,000 --> 02:36:45,000
and knew that the Phillies would have to finish up in Cincinnati.

2059
02:36:45,000 --> 02:36:49,000
And we figured that they might have trouble over there.

2060
02:36:49,000 --> 02:37:00,000
Well, just the opposite. It's the Reds, when they actually played over there, who had a chance to do something.

2061
02:37:00,000 --> 02:37:10,000
And it's the Reds who have had trouble losing yesterday and getting trounced today.

2062
02:37:10,000 --> 02:37:29,000
Larry Elliott, a left-handed batter. There's a pitch by Gibson. And it's fastball outside.

2063
02:37:29,000 --> 02:37:39,000
One ball and no strikes. Elliott hitting.229 with nine homers, 22 RBIs.

2064
02:37:39,000 --> 02:37:46,000
Left-handed hitterThe stretch, the pitch. A high pop foul out of play.

2065
02:37:46,000 --> 02:37:58,000
And the count is evened up with a ball and a strike.

2066
02:37:58,000 --> 02:38:06,000
We're in the top of the seventh cardinals' lead, 8-4.

2067
02:38:06,000 --> 02:38:23,000
Now the stretch readyThe pitch. It's a strike call. Fastball right in there. Two strikes and a ball.

2068
02:38:23,000 --> 02:38:37,000
Left-handed batter digging in. Now ready. And the pitch. It's a strike call. He's out of there.

2069
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:42,000
Fastball over the outside corner. No hits, no runs, no errors, one left.

2070
02:38:42,000 --> 02:38:49,000
We're going to the bottom half of the seventh inningThe cardinals' eighth, the Mets' fourth.

2071
02:38:49,000 --> 02:38:55,000
Are you particular about taste? You bet I'm particular. And my Palmels prove it.

2072
02:38:55,000 --> 02:39:04,000
Particular people take particular pleasure in the good taste of Palmel.

2073
02:39:04,000 --> 02:39:14,000
Palmel, a long cigarette that's long on flavor. Yes, Palmel's natural mildness means just one thing.

2074
02:39:14,000 --> 02:39:23,000
Smooth, pleasing flavor. Flavor that's blended in, over, under, around, and through to bring you satisfying flavor.

2075
02:39:23,000 --> 02:39:34,000
Particularly goodThe flavor's blended over, under, around, in the good taste of Palmel.

2076
02:39:34,000 --> 02:39:46,000
Palmel, a long cigarette that's long on flavor. Yes, Palmel's natural mildness means just one thing. Smooth, pleasing flavor.

2077
02:39:46,000 --> 02:39:55,000
Flavor that's blended in, over, under, around, and through to bring you satisfying flavor. Particularly good.

2078
02:39:55,000 --> 02:40:10,000
The flavor's blended over, under, around, and through to bring that particular good taste to you. So get particular pleasure like particular people do in the good taste of Palmel.

2079
02:40:10,000 --> 02:40:21,000
Be particular. Buy Palmel famous cigarettes outstanding. And they are bought from the American Tobacco Company.

2080
02:40:21,000 --> 02:40:31,000
We're not going to Cincinnati as much as we did earlier because of the lopsided score over there, thank goodness.

2081
02:40:31,000 --> 02:40:35,000
Well, let's see now what the developments are. Roy May?

2082
02:40:35,000 --> 02:40:42,000
All right, Harry, we're going into the bottom of the ninth inning. Jim Bunning has but three outs to get, and it will all be over here in Cincinnati.

2083
02:40:42,000 --> 02:40:50,000
And just about half of this capacity crowd is left at this time. Ten to nothing Phillies going into the bottom of the ninth.

2084
02:40:50,000 --> 02:40:55,000
Very good. Roy, come in with us as soon as it's over.

2085
02:40:55,000 --> 02:41:16,000
Danny Rybun will be the new pitcher. Slim Will the right-hander was obtained from the Brave organization. He pitched in relief yesterday.

2086
02:41:16,000 --> 02:41:29,000
And as we start the bottom half of the seventh inning, the score eight to four in favor of the card.

2087
02:41:29,000 --> 02:41:44,000
Mike Shannon will lead it off. Shannon has had one out of three drove in a run.

2088
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:59,000
Here's the wind up now, the pitch is on the way. He swung and he followed it back. One strike and no balls.

2089
02:41:59,000 --> 02:42:09,000
Right-hand batter waiting. Mike straddles a plateThe wind up now, the pitch is on the way.

2090
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:17,000
A bouncing ball to third. That's going to be easy. Here's Charlie Smith's peg in time. One out on the bottom of the seventh.

2091
02:42:17,000 --> 02:42:23,000
Here's Dow Maxville. This kid has driven in two runs, gets a nice hand from the crowd.

2092
02:42:23,000 --> 02:42:29,000
Popped up, drove in a run on the fourth, drove in a run on the fifth.

2093
02:42:29,000 --> 02:42:41,000
Had a little trouble on a pop fly but a strong wind is blowing and we've seen even veteran infielders or outfielders have trouble under those conditions.

2094
02:42:41,000 --> 02:42:49,000
The pitch swung on. A high fly ball to right center will be caught. Under the ball is Christopher Tugah.

2095
02:42:49,000 --> 02:43:08,000
Two out on the bottom of the seventh and here's Bob Gibson coming out. He'll get a fine hand from the crowd.

2096
02:43:08,000 --> 02:43:14,000
Gibson a good hitter. Fanned his only time up in this ball game. Rybun gets set.

2097
02:43:14,000 --> 02:43:22,000
The wind now, the pitch is on the way and it's high and inside.

2098
02:43:22,000 --> 02:43:30,000
The Mets will have the lower end of the batting order in the eighthThe crane pool will be starting it off and then Altman, two dangerous left-handed hitters.

2099
02:43:30,000 --> 02:43:41,000
They're down on the batting order because Simmons, the left-hander, started for the Cardinals. One ball, no strikes, the pitch. High and outside, ball two.

2100
02:43:41,000 --> 02:43:51,000
There's two out in the bottom of the ninth at Cincinnati, 10 to nothing Philadelphia.

2101
02:43:51,000 --> 02:44:05,000
Two balls, no strikes. There's the line now, the pitch on the way. There's a high pop fly back and out of play. Two balls, one strike.

2102
02:44:05,000 --> 02:44:16,000
Bottom half of the seventh, the Cardinals leading eight to four.

2103
02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:27,000
Now the signal. Ready. Two balls and a strike. Rybun's pitch. He foul-tipped back.

2104
02:44:27,000 --> 02:44:38,000
Two balls, two strikes. Thirty thousand one hundred and forty-six paid here today.

2105
02:44:38,000 --> 02:44:49,000
Two balls, two strikes. Now ready. Here's the wind-up. Here's the pitch. He struck him out swinging.

2106
02:44:49,000 --> 02:44:59,000
So at the end of seventh, as it's knuffing across for the Cardinals, the score remains the Redbirds eight and the Mets four.

2107
02:44:59,000 --> 02:45:08,000
Listen. It was quiet on the banks of the big Daytona Speedway. This was the beginning of a new heritage for Mercury Comet.

2108
02:45:08,000 --> 02:45:29,000
A heritage that goes back to Daytona, where Comet became the world's 100,000-mile durability champion.

2109
02:45:29,000 --> 02:45:38,000
Today, a fiery new successor to Comet's proud heritage carries on the spirit of Daytona, Comet 65.

2110
02:45:38,000 --> 02:45:43,000
We couldn't make it much tougher, so we made it even livelier, more beautiful.

2111
02:45:43,000 --> 02:45:53,000
Gave it a sleek, low look of action. More usable power in every Comet engine, up to an optional 225 horsepower of the age.

2112
02:45:53,000 --> 02:46:00,000
The new and more beautiful addition of the world's 100,000-mile durability champion, Mercury Comet 65.

2113
02:46:00,000 --> 02:46:06,000
That's your Mercury dealers now.

2114
02:46:06,000 --> 02:46:13,000
We're going into the top of the eighth inning. Crane Pool will lead it off, and here's Jerry Gross to tell you about it.

2115
02:46:13,000 --> 02:46:19,000
Bob Gibson winds and pitches and gets the fastball in. Belfort Buckel high for a call strike.

2116
02:46:19,000 --> 02:46:26,000
Crane Pool ripped us in the series five for nine prior to this ballgame, but he's 0 for 2 walked his last time up.

2117
02:46:26,000 --> 02:46:37,000
We're in the eighth. Gibson trying to hold it down.

2118
02:46:37,000 --> 02:46:40,000
Gibson misses with a slider inside. Here's Harry.

2119
02:46:40,000 --> 02:46:46,000
It's all over her in Cincinnati. Philadelphia 1, 10 to nothing.

2120
02:46:46,000 --> 02:46:50,000
Roy May, a great job, boy. Come on home for the World Series.

2121
02:46:50,000 --> 02:46:55,000
Thank you, Harry. I thought for the very end. I'll see you Wednesday at the opener.

2122
02:46:55,000 --> 02:46:59,000
Okay, now all we got to do is win it.

2123
02:46:59,000 --> 02:47:08,000
Bob Gibson with a 1-1 count pitches. It's swung on in line fair, just beyond the glove of white out in the right field. It's a base hit.

2124
02:47:08,000 --> 02:47:14,000
So we're in the eighth inning, and it, Crane Pool, opens up with a line drive base hit.

2125
02:47:14,000 --> 02:47:21,000
Harry's going to hustle down, and he'll be on the field, very close to the corner of the Cardinal dugout,

2126
02:47:21,000 --> 02:47:27,000
and be able to bring you some postgame interviews, which I think you'll find very interesting.

2127
02:47:27,000 --> 02:47:31,000
Here's George Altman.

2128
02:47:31,000 --> 02:47:35,000
Altman has a base hit on two trips.

2129
02:47:35,000 --> 02:47:43,000
Crane Pool is the runner on at first baseThe pitch to Altman is in there for a strike.

2130
02:47:43,000 --> 02:47:52,000
Altman walked in the third, singled up the middle in the fifth, and bounced to the first baseman.

2131
02:47:52,000 --> 02:47:57,000
Bob Gibson ready to work. We're in the eighth inningThe pitch is swung on, hit out into left field.

2132
02:47:57,000 --> 02:48:01,000
Lou Brock loses it momentarily in the sun, then backs up and makes the catch.

2133
02:48:01,000 --> 02:48:10,000
Throws back into the infield, one down, and Bob Gibson has only five outs to get

2134
02:48:10,000 --> 02:48:19,000
to nail down a pennant for the 1964 National League race in the Cardinals.

2135
02:48:19,000 --> 02:48:24,000
KM Orks and KM Orks FM St. Louis. Men don't miss Hill Brothers' big work shoe sale.

2136
02:48:24,000 --> 02:48:35,000
First quality heavy duty work shoes, choice of high tops in Oxford, is now just $4.88 at Hill Brothers.

2137
02:48:35,000 --> 02:48:40,000
Eighth inning. Bob Gibson's pitch as the fastball gets away from McCarver inside,

2138
02:48:40,000 --> 02:48:45,000
goes back to the screen and moving on to second base is Ed Crane Pool.

2139
02:48:45,000 --> 02:48:53,000
Redbirds have out hit the Mets, 11 to 9. Cardinals leading 8 to 4.

2140
02:48:53,000 --> 02:48:58,000
We're in the top of the eighth inning.

2141
02:48:58,000 --> 02:49:06,000
McCarver made a good save on a ball in the sixth inning on a 2-2 count to George Altman.

2142
02:49:06,000 --> 02:49:10,000
Went down in the dirt, knocked the ball down. One ball, no strikes.

2143
02:49:10,000 --> 02:49:13,000
The pitch to Gonder swung on, hit sharply down to Boyer.

2144
02:49:13,000 --> 02:49:20,000
Kent stays with it on one bounce, throws and gets it. Two down, and the runner at second holds on.

2145
02:49:20,000 --> 02:49:25,000
Let's pause for station identification. This is the Cardinals' baseball network.

2146
02:49:25,000 --> 02:49:32,000
You're listening to KMOX and KMOX FM, the voice of St. Louis, 24 hours a day.

2147
02:49:32,000 --> 02:49:43,000
Now once again, an exciting ball game. Let's go back to Bush Stadium.

2148
02:49:43,000 --> 02:49:48,000
Gibson ready as we bring you back to action here on the top of the eighth with two down.

2149
02:49:48,000 --> 02:49:53,000
The pitch to the right-handed hitter, the leadoff man, Bobby Fous is in there for a strike.

2150
02:49:53,000 --> 02:49:58,000
Fous has skied to center, single to third, double to right, and walk.

2151
02:49:58,000 --> 02:50:02,000
Right-handed batter on second base, it's Ed Cranepool.

2152
02:50:02,000 --> 02:50:08,000
Gibson's one-strike pitch is a fastball that hits the corner of the glove of McCarver

2153
02:50:08,000 --> 02:50:14,000
and bounces away and moving on to third base.

2154
02:50:14,000 --> 02:50:25,000
On the play will be the runner down at second. It's a fastball against McCarver.

2155
02:50:25,000 --> 02:50:30,000
Runner down at third, it's 8-4, eighth inning, Bobby Klaus against Gibson.

2156
02:50:30,000 --> 02:50:35,000
The pitch just misses outside, two balls and a strike.

2157
02:50:35,000 --> 02:50:46,000
Gibson came onto the ball game with runners on second base. McMillan was on second.

2158
02:50:46,000 --> 02:50:51,000
The pitch is swung on and missed, strike two.

2159
02:50:51,000 --> 02:50:56,000
McMillan was on second after doubling two home in the fifth inning,

2160
02:50:56,000 --> 02:51:02,000
and he forced Christopher to sky to Shannon and got Hickman on a ground ball to the catcher, a number.

2161
02:51:02,000 --> 02:51:10,000
Two balls and two strikes, two down. Klaus swings and he fouls it back into the screen.

2162
02:51:10,000 --> 02:51:16,000
Activity in the bullpen, Barney Schultz and Gordon Richardson, a right and left-hander respectively.

2163
02:51:16,000 --> 02:51:27,000
Looking ahead to the last of the seventh, it'll be the pitcher's spot coming up for the Cardinals.

2164
02:51:27,000 --> 02:51:32,000
8-4, Gibson is ready. Two balls, two strikes, two outThe pitch to the right-hander,

2165
02:51:32,000 --> 02:51:36,000
a fastball that drives him back and the count is full, three and two.

2166
02:51:36,000 --> 02:51:43,000
Out on deck it's Roy McMillan. Gibson's fastball moving inside.

2167
02:51:43,000 --> 02:51:49,000
Gibby, as you know, pitched eight innings on Friday.

2168
02:51:49,000 --> 02:52:00,000
He's been strong. Three balls, two strikes, the pitch, swung on and missed, he's stuck in there.

2169
02:52:00,000 --> 02:52:05,000
Bob Gibson registers his second strikeout here in the top of the eighth inning,

2170
02:52:05,000 --> 02:52:10,000
and in the eighth, no runs, one hit, no errors, one runner left on it.

2171
02:52:10,000 --> 02:52:14,000
Third at the end is seven and a half, the score.

2172
02:52:14,000 --> 02:52:21,000
The Cardinals eight and the Mets four.

2173
02:52:21,000 --> 02:52:28,000
The way Gibson's pitching, he wastes no time and it's indicative of these days, everything rush, rush, rush.

2174
02:52:28,000 --> 02:52:34,000
Hurry up, go here, go there. You know what I mean, but there's one thing that'll never be rushed,

2175
02:52:34,000 --> 02:52:39,000
and you guessed it, Bush Bavarian beer. It takes time to brew a really good beer.

2176
02:52:39,000 --> 02:52:45,000
Time for aging, time to get that rugged but delicate flavor, time for natural carbonation.

2177
02:52:45,000 --> 02:52:49,000
Sure, it takes more time to brew Bush and costs more too,

2178
02:52:49,000 --> 02:52:55,000
but the full-bodied satisfaction that you get with Bush is still yours to enjoy at popular prices.

2179
02:52:55,000 --> 02:53:01,000
Get to know the beer that's naturally brewed, slow and easy, Bush Bavarian beer.

2180
02:53:01,000 --> 02:53:04,000
Get to know flavor for the fun of it.

2181
02:53:04,000 --> 02:53:13,000
Flavor for the fun of it. Flavor wherever you go.

2182
02:53:13,000 --> 02:53:19,000
Break up Bush Bavarian beer, you ought to get to know.

2183
02:53:19,000 --> 02:53:26,000
Here's flavor you ought to get to know because Bush is brewed the way beer was meant to be brewed, the natural way.

2184
02:53:26,000 --> 02:53:27,000
Get Bush.

2185
02:53:27,000 --> 02:53:40,000
There's a mountain of flavor in Bush Bavarian, Bush Bavarian beer. Break up.

2186
02:53:40,000 --> 02:53:46,000
Now we go into the last half of the seventh inning, or rather the eighth inning, I beg your pardon.

2187
02:53:46,000 --> 02:53:51,000
Last of the eighth inning, and it'll be Kirk Flood, top of the batting order, Redbirds leading 8-4,

2188
02:53:51,000 --> 02:53:55,000
Dennis Riven out on the mound for the New York Mets.

2189
02:53:55,000 --> 02:53:59,000
Riven winds and pitches to Flood and misses outside.

2190
02:53:59,000 --> 02:54:00,000
One ball, no strikes.

2191
02:54:00,000 --> 02:54:07,000
The Cardinals struck for one run in the second, one in the fourth, and three in the fifth and sixth.

2192
02:54:07,000 --> 02:54:10,000
Trying to nail down the pennant here in St. Louis.

2193
02:54:10,000 --> 02:54:12,000
Dennis Riven pitches now to Kirk Flood.

2194
02:54:12,000 --> 02:54:14,000
Swung on, hit up into the air on the deep right center.

2195
02:54:14,000 --> 02:54:16,000
Back goes the right feet of the ball.

2196
02:54:16,000 --> 02:54:18,000
It's way back. Back. It's gone.

2197
02:54:18,000 --> 02:54:29,000
Home run!

2198
02:54:29,000 --> 02:54:36,000
Kirk Flood has just put the Cardinals out on top, 9-4.

2199
02:54:36,000 --> 02:54:42,000
And look at that bench!

2200
02:54:42,000 --> 02:54:45,000
Flood hits his fifth home run of the campaign,

2201
02:54:45,000 --> 02:54:54,000
and Lou Brock is the hitter, with the Redbirds adding another here in the last half of the eighth inning.

2202
02:54:54,000 --> 02:55:00,000
Brock hits a ground ball, foul down the right field line.

2203
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:12,000
Flood gets his first base hit here in the eighth inning, and the Cardinals lead 9-4.

2204
02:55:12,000 --> 02:55:17,000
Thirty thousand, one hundred and forty-six frenzied fans on hand.

2205
02:55:17,000 --> 02:55:22,000
Curved ball, slap foul into the left field bleachers.

2206
02:55:22,000 --> 02:55:31,000
No balls and two strikes.

2207
02:55:31,000 --> 02:55:34,000
Activity now in the bullpen for the Mets.

2208
02:55:34,000 --> 02:55:37,000
The left-hander, Locke, is up and warming up.

2209
02:55:37,000 --> 02:55:41,000
Dennis Riven came on in the ball game and retired him in the seventh.

2210
02:55:41,000 --> 02:55:45,000
But Kirk Flood has rocked him for a home run.

2211
02:55:45,000 --> 02:55:47,000
Two strikes on Lou Brock.

2212
02:55:47,000 --> 02:55:50,000
Riven's pitch inside drives him back.

2213
02:55:50,000 --> 02:55:56,000
One ball, two strikes.

2214
02:55:56,000 --> 02:55:58,000
We've got to win this one. We win this one.

2215
02:55:58,000 --> 02:56:03,000
The World Series opens on Wednesday against the New York Yankees.

2216
02:56:03,000 --> 02:56:05,000
The pitch, Brock takes it in there.

2217
02:56:05,000 --> 02:56:09,000
Strike three call.

2218
02:56:09,000 --> 02:56:12,000
Riven gets his second strike out.

2219
02:56:12,000 --> 02:56:16,000
And Bill White will be the hitter.

2220
02:56:16,000 --> 02:56:21,000
And what a big blow Bill had to drive in two in the sixth.

2221
02:56:21,000 --> 02:56:24,000
In a home run off the left-hander, Will Hunter.

2222
02:56:24,000 --> 02:56:27,000
White is two for four.

2223
02:56:27,000 --> 02:56:36,000
The photographer's already around the Cardinal box, around Colonel Bush.

2224
02:56:36,000 --> 02:56:38,000
Bill White is ready.

2225
02:56:38,000 --> 02:56:40,000
One out. We're in the last of the eighth inning.

2226
02:56:40,000 --> 02:56:43,000
The Cardinals lead nine to four.

2227
02:56:43,000 --> 02:56:51,000
White takes a fastball inside.

2228
02:56:51,000 --> 02:56:57,000
One million, 143,294 the Cardinals have drawn this year.

2229
02:56:57,000 --> 02:56:58,000
The pitch to White.

2230
02:56:58,000 --> 02:57:00,000
Line like a bullet out to deep center.

2231
02:57:00,000 --> 02:57:04,000
Back goes Hickman. Way back and makes the catch.

2232
02:57:04,000 --> 02:57:11,000
So we have two down.

2233
02:57:11,000 --> 02:57:18,000
A home run by Kirk Flood to open the last of the eighth inning.

2234
02:57:18,000 --> 02:57:20,000
Here's the captain, Kenny Boyer.

2235
02:57:20,000 --> 02:57:27,000
The players tell us one of the most underrated ballplayers in the National League.

2236
02:57:27,000 --> 02:57:29,000
Boyer, another tremendous season.

2237
02:57:29,000 --> 02:57:31,000
Twenty-four home runs.

2238
02:57:31,000 --> 02:57:33,000
He drove in a run in the fifth inning.

2239
02:57:33,000 --> 02:57:41,000
Boyer today, with that big double, is one for two, and the pitch to him is a ball.

2240
02:57:41,000 --> 02:57:43,000
Right-hander against a right-hander.

2241
02:57:43,000 --> 02:57:47,000
We're in the last of the eighth inning.

2242
02:57:47,000 --> 02:57:51,000
And the score here at Bush Stadium is nine to four.

2243
02:57:51,000 --> 02:57:54,000
Rybant is ready, and the pitch to Boyer.

2244
02:57:54,000 --> 02:58:00,000
Fastball in there in the inside corner, the count one and one.

2245
02:58:00,000 --> 02:58:04,000
Interesting interviews to follow the ball game with Harry Carrey.

2246
02:58:04,000 --> 02:58:06,000
In the dugout and in the dressing room.

2247
02:58:06,000 --> 02:58:08,000
So wherever you may be, hang on.

2248
02:58:08,000 --> 02:58:10,000
Two outs, last of the eighth.

2249
02:58:10,000 --> 02:58:12,000
One-one count to Boyer.

2250
02:58:12,000 --> 02:58:18,000
The pitch, swung on and fouled back into the screen.

2251
02:58:18,000 --> 02:58:21,000
Simmons and Siscoe started, neither around.

2252
02:58:21,000 --> 02:58:27,000
Kirk went four and a third plus two hitters, gave up three runs, seven hits, struck out none, and walked one.

2253
02:58:27,000 --> 02:58:30,000
A windblown double led to his downfall.

2254
02:58:30,000 --> 02:58:32,000
Gibson has been brilliant in relief.

2255
02:58:32,000 --> 02:58:36,000
Siscoe started, gave up four runs, seven hits, and four innings plus three.

2256
02:58:36,000 --> 02:58:38,000
Walked three and struck out none.

2257
02:58:38,000 --> 02:58:43,000
Casey Stengel, since then, has used four pitchers.

2258
02:58:43,000 --> 02:58:48,000
The one-two pitch on its way to Kenny Boyer, with two down in the eighth.

2259
02:58:48,000 --> 02:58:54,000
Over but low, and the count holds at two-two.

2260
02:58:54,000 --> 02:58:59,000
No one has left the ballpark yet.

2261
02:58:59,000 --> 02:59:05,000
Philadelphia upended Cincinnati, a win here in the Cardinals for the first time in 18 years.

2262
02:59:05,000 --> 02:59:06,000
We'll have a pennant.

2263
02:59:06,000 --> 02:59:19,000
The pitch to Boyer, crossfire outside, just missing three and two.

2264
02:59:19,000 --> 02:59:27,000
Harry Carey standing by near the box down to the right of the dugout.

2265
02:59:27,000 --> 02:59:30,000
The three-two pitch to Boyer is ball four, over but low.

2266
02:59:30,000 --> 02:59:43,000
So Boyer walks with two down here in the last of the eighth inning.

2267
02:59:43,000 --> 02:59:45,000
Dick Grode will be the hitter.

2268
02:59:45,000 --> 02:59:52,000
Grode bounced to the first baseman and a double to right center scored a run,

2269
02:59:52,000 --> 02:59:59,000
has struck out and grounded out with a pitcher getting an assist in the second baseman,

2270
02:59:59,000 --> 03:00:01,000
Klaus, making the play.

2271
03:00:01,000 --> 03:00:08,000
Cardinals nine, New York Mets four, last of the eighth, two down.

2272
03:00:08,000 --> 03:00:16,000
Grode the hitter.

2273
03:00:16,000 --> 03:00:19,000
Ken Boyer is on first base.

2274
03:00:19,000 --> 03:00:23,000
They change balls, no activity in the Cardinal bullpen.

2275
03:00:23,000 --> 03:00:29,000
Wednesday the big day if the Cardinals and Bob Gibson can get three outs in the ninth inning,

2276
03:00:29,000 --> 03:00:36,000
and as we look ahead it'll be Roy McMillan, Joe Christopher, and Jim Hickman,

2277
03:00:36,000 --> 03:00:40,000
two, three, and four in the order for the New York Mets.

2278
03:00:40,000 --> 03:00:44,000
Grode trying to get some more swings and hits a pop-up off the right field side,

2279
03:00:44,000 --> 03:00:50,000
down the right field line, back goes Cranepool coming on and unable to make the catches.

2280
03:00:50,000 --> 03:01:14,000
Christopher as he runs into the bullpen down the right field line in foul territory.

2281
03:01:14,000 --> 03:01:22,000
Two down here in the last of the eighth inning, one strike on Dick Grode, Boyer is at first.

2282
03:01:22,000 --> 03:01:25,000
Cardinals leading nine to four.

2283
03:01:25,000 --> 03:01:33,000
Ryvon is ready, he's at the belt in the pitch, hung on and nub foul off to the left.

2284
03:01:33,000 --> 03:01:38,000
Cardinals took a one-nothing lead on a double by McCarver and a single by Shannon in the second.

2285
03:01:38,000 --> 03:01:43,000
The Mets came back to tie it on a home run by Smith in the fourth.

2286
03:01:43,000 --> 03:01:46,000
Then went ahead by two.

2287
03:01:46,000 --> 03:01:50,000
In the fifth inning is McMillan doubled in two.

2288
03:01:50,000 --> 03:01:54,000
In the fifth the Cardinals came bouncing back with three runs,

2289
03:01:54,000 --> 03:01:59,000
and three in the sixth come from behind club all year long.

2290
03:01:59,000 --> 03:02:05,000
Two strikes on Grode, the cross-fire is outside and it's one of two.

2291
03:02:05,000 --> 03:02:11,000
Not only in the back against the runner, Boyer at first base is Cranepool.

2292
03:02:11,000 --> 03:02:15,000
Cardinals on top by five.

2293
03:02:15,000 --> 03:02:17,000
Right-hander Ryvon is ready.

2294
03:02:17,000 --> 03:02:20,000
The one-two pitch to Grode.

2295
03:02:20,000 --> 03:02:25,000
Over but low and the count goes to 2-2.

2296
03:02:25,000 --> 03:02:28,000
Heroes in the game, well, hell, you could find almost everyone.

2297
03:02:28,000 --> 03:02:34,000
White, two RBIs, Boyer one, Grode, McCarver one each and Shannon two.

2298
03:02:34,000 --> 03:02:42,000
From Dow Maxville, a fellow who had to start because of the injury to Javier with two big RBIs.

2299
03:02:42,000 --> 03:02:45,000
2-2 count, now to the right-handed hitter, Grode.

2300
03:02:45,000 --> 03:02:48,000
Two down the pitch, he's swung on and popped up.

2301
03:02:48,000 --> 03:02:53,000
Here's Gonda the catcher coming back, he's under the ball and goes in a circle and it lands fair.

2302
03:02:53,000 --> 03:02:57,000
No, it goes foul, they say, just foul.

2303
03:02:57,000 --> 03:03:03,000
Looked like it kicked up some chalk and landed eight feet to the right of the plate.

2304
03:03:03,000 --> 03:03:08,000
It went in a complete circle and the ball kicked up some chalk,

2305
03:03:08,000 --> 03:03:15,000
but it was the chalk on the extreme front portion of the left-handed hitting batter's box.

2306
03:03:15,000 --> 03:03:18,000
So it's a foul ball.

2307
03:03:18,000 --> 03:03:23,000
Two balls and two strikes.

2308
03:03:23,000 --> 03:03:30,000
Harry Carrey getting set to send you an interview and bring you also the ninth inning of play-by-play

2309
03:03:30,000 --> 03:03:35,000
down right next to the Cardinal dugout.

2310
03:03:35,000 --> 03:03:37,000
Two balls, two strikes, two out.

2311
03:03:37,000 --> 03:03:40,000
Last of the eight, cards on top by five, the pitch.

2312
03:03:40,000 --> 03:03:42,000
Swung on, lined out into right field.

2313
03:03:42,000 --> 03:03:44,000
The right fielder, Christopher, goes back.

2314
03:03:44,000 --> 03:03:46,000
The ball is up against the wall.

2315
03:03:46,000 --> 03:03:48,000
Here is Boyer around second to third.

2316
03:03:48,000 --> 03:03:49,000
Grode goes into second.

2317
03:03:49,000 --> 03:03:52,000
Boyer holds it third and it's a double for Dick Grode.

2318
03:03:52,000 --> 03:04:04,000
Kurt Flood open up with a home run.

2319
03:04:04,000 --> 03:04:05,000
Brock struck out.

2320
03:04:05,000 --> 03:04:08,000
White skied to center.

2321
03:04:08,000 --> 03:04:12,000
Boyer walked here in the eighth inning and Grode has just doubled.

2322
03:04:12,000 --> 03:04:14,000
Runners at second and third.

2323
03:04:14,000 --> 03:04:20,000
Here's Tim McCarver.

2324
03:04:20,000 --> 03:04:29,000
McCarver looked as though McCarver would get one out of here in the sixth, but it hit the screen.

2325
03:04:29,000 --> 03:04:33,000
He's two for three, driven in a run.

2326
03:04:33,000 --> 03:04:46,000
Here comes manager Casey Stengel.

2327
03:04:46,000 --> 03:04:52,000
Ring lock on in the ball game, Stengel comes out.

2328
03:04:52,000 --> 03:04:55,000
So coming out of the ball game will be Dennis Rybant.

2329
03:04:55,000 --> 03:05:00,000
He came on in the seventh, retired the side one, two, three.

2330
03:05:00,000 --> 03:05:03,000
Now he comes out of the ball game.

2331
03:05:03,000 --> 03:05:13,000
So Rybant has pitched one in, two third, plus two hitters innings.

2332
03:05:13,000 --> 03:05:23,000
And the two runners on base, he of course will be responsible for in the event they eventually score.

2333
03:05:23,000 --> 03:05:46,000
So McCarver will have to face the left-hander Ron Locke.

2334
03:05:46,000 --> 03:05:53,000
So Ron Locke comes out in relief.

2335
03:05:53,000 --> 03:05:57,000
Left-hander.

2336
03:05:57,000 --> 03:06:05,000
Locke was born in Wakefield, Rhode Island, resides in Schenick, Rhode Island.

2337
03:06:05,000 --> 03:06:10,000
We're still in the last of the eighth inning.

2338
03:06:10,000 --> 03:06:13,000
The Cardinals win this ball game, won't have finished.

2339
03:06:13,000 --> 03:06:21,000
They will have won their 27th ball game by losing only 11 since August 24th.

2340
03:06:21,000 --> 03:06:33,000
And at that time the Redbirds were 11 games behind.

2341
03:06:33,000 --> 03:06:35,000
Dick Grohl will be at second.

2342
03:06:35,000 --> 03:06:38,000
Ken Boyer talking now with Vern Benson is down at third base.

2343
03:06:38,000 --> 03:06:44,000
Tim McCarver today doubled in the second, bounced to the mound in the fourth,

2344
03:06:44,000 --> 03:06:49,000
walked in the fifth, and doubled to right in the sixth.

2345
03:06:49,000 --> 03:06:52,000
He was eventually hung up and run down.

2346
03:06:52,000 --> 03:07:01,000
I want to remind you the St. Louis football Cardinals defeated Washington 23 to 17 today.

2347
03:07:01,000 --> 03:07:06,000
Talk about pressure, pressure on the players, but what about the pressure on the umpires?

2348
03:07:06,000 --> 03:07:18,000
Eddie Vargo, Al Forman, Bill Joukowsky, and Shags Crawford, what a job they've done today.

2349
03:07:18,000 --> 03:07:26,000
Tim McCarver, the hitter with two down here in the last of the eighth inning, the Cardinals leading by five.

2350
03:07:26,000 --> 03:07:28,000
Winding and pitching is Ron Locke.

2351
03:07:28,000 --> 03:07:34,000
Fastball popped up and back out of play.

2352
03:07:34,000 --> 03:07:42,000
And by May our man in Cincinnati reporting with the good news that Jim Bunning rolled to a victory

2353
03:07:42,000 --> 03:07:47,000
as Philadelphia ripped Cincinnati 10 to nothing.

2354
03:07:47,000 --> 03:07:51,000
Harry Carrey downstairs set to bring you the ninth inning of play-by-play.

2355
03:07:51,000 --> 03:07:55,000
Jerry Gross standing by up here in the booth.

2356
03:07:55,000 --> 03:07:57,000
Locke's pitch to McCarver.

2357
03:07:57,000 --> 03:08:03,000
Fastball that's up high, one and one.

2358
03:08:03,000 --> 03:08:09,000
Bob Gibson in the ball game in relief of Kurt Simmons shooting for his 19th victory.

2359
03:08:09,000 --> 03:08:13,000
He'll be pitching that ninth inning.

2360
03:08:13,000 --> 03:08:14,000
Locke is ready.

2361
03:08:14,000 --> 03:08:26,000
The one-one pitch to McCarver just outside for ball two, missed with a breaking ball.

2362
03:08:26,000 --> 03:08:35,000
Locke is 5'11.

2363
03:08:35,000 --> 03:08:36,000
The Mets have been tough.

2364
03:08:36,000 --> 03:08:41,000
They've won 24 ball games against the top four teams in the National League this year.

2365
03:08:41,000 --> 03:08:43,000
The pitch now to McCarver.

2366
03:08:43,000 --> 03:08:45,000
Swung on, hit past the mound, down towards second.

2367
03:08:45,000 --> 03:08:47,000
It's through, on into center, makes it.

2368
03:08:47,000 --> 03:08:49,000
In to score comes Boyer.

2369
03:08:49,000 --> 03:08:52,000
In to score from second is Groves.

2370
03:08:52,000 --> 03:09:16,000
And the Cardinals now have taken the lead 11 to 4.

2371
03:09:16,000 --> 03:09:21,000
Redbirds have added three here in the eighth inning, and don't go away, it's not over yet.

2372
03:09:21,000 --> 03:09:27,000
Locke out on the mound, has just had a left-hander drilling up the middle.

2373
03:09:27,000 --> 03:09:28,000
It's 11 to 4.

2374
03:09:28,000 --> 03:09:34,000
The pitch to the right-hander, Shannon, is swung on and missed.

2375
03:09:34,000 --> 03:09:42,000
What a day for McCarver, three RBIs.

2376
03:09:42,000 --> 03:09:52,000
The first pennant in 18 years.

2377
03:09:52,000 --> 03:09:56,000
And look at the smiles in the Cardinal box.

2378
03:09:56,000 --> 03:10:03,000
The one-strike pitch to Shannon, it's hung on, lying to deep left field, back goes Altman, way back, then comes in a bit and makes the catch.

2379
03:10:03,000 --> 03:10:06,000
To retire the side here in the eighth inning.

2380
03:10:06,000 --> 03:10:10,000
The ball died, but the Cardinals didn't die in the eighth.

2381
03:10:10,000 --> 03:10:20,000
In the eighth inning, the Redbirds come up with three runs on three base hits, no errors, one runner left on.

2382
03:10:20,000 --> 03:10:30,000
And at the end of eight innings with three outs to go for a pennant, the score, the Cardinals 11, the New York Mets 4.

2383
03:10:30,000 --> 03:10:40,000
Particular about taste? You bet I'm particular, and my Pellmels prove it.

2384
03:10:40,000 --> 03:10:45,000
You bet I'm particular, and my Pellmels prove it.

2385
03:10:45,000 --> 03:10:54,000
You hear it everywhere. Why? Because Pellmels natural mildness means just one thing, smooth, pleasing flavor.

2386
03:10:54,000 --> 03:11:03,000
Particular people take particular pleasure in the good taste of Pellmels.

2387
03:11:03,000 --> 03:11:11,000
The flavors blended over, under, around them prove to bring that particular good taste to you.

2388
03:11:11,000 --> 03:11:19,000
So get particular pleasure like particular people do in the good taste of Pellmels.

2389
03:11:19,000 --> 03:11:24,000
Be particular, smoke a long cigarette that's long on flavor.

2390
03:11:24,000 --> 03:11:36,000
Buy Pellmel famous cigarettes, outstanding, and they are mired from the American Tobacco Company.

2391
03:11:36,000 --> 03:11:41,000
This is Jerry Gross back at Bush Stadium. Bob Gibson needs three outs to go.

2392
03:11:41,000 --> 03:11:45,000
Now down to the playing field, here's Harry Carrey.

2393
03:11:45,000 --> 03:11:51,000
This is Harry Carrey, and now down in the Cardinal box, Roy McMillan leading off the first pitch as a strike call.

2394
03:11:51,000 --> 03:11:57,000
Cardinals leading 11 to 4. Top half of the ninth inning, three outs away from the National League pennant.

2395
03:11:57,000 --> 03:12:00,000
McMillan fouls a pitch back, strike two.

2396
03:12:00,000 --> 03:12:03,000
Wow, we thought it was exciting upstairs in the booth.

2397
03:12:03,000 --> 03:12:06,000
We're down here now where we're right among the fans.

2398
03:12:06,000 --> 03:12:10,000
We're sitting in Gussie Bush's box right behind the Cardinal dugout.

2399
03:12:10,000 --> 03:12:18,000
Roy McMillan the batter, two strikes and nothing. Bob Gibson delivers the pitch high and inside.

2400
03:12:18,000 --> 03:12:21,000
Gibson would win his 19th game of the year.

2401
03:12:21,000 --> 03:12:27,000
The Cardinals with an 11 to 4 lead here in the top of the ninth.

2402
03:12:27,000 --> 03:12:32,000
Gibson gets set, into the windup he goes, and here's the pitch.

2403
03:12:32,000 --> 03:12:37,000
High, ball two, and that evens it up. Two balls, two strikes.

2404
03:12:37,000 --> 03:12:43,000
Mayor Ray Tucker, Mrs. Tucker sitting right in front of me here.

2405
03:12:43,000 --> 03:12:50,000
August A. Bush Jr., president of the St. Louis Cardinals, and his wife, August the third and his wife.

2406
03:12:50,000 --> 03:12:53,000
Here's a pitch high and inside.

2407
03:12:53,000 --> 03:12:56,000
Three balls, two strikes.

2408
03:12:56,000 --> 03:13:02,000
On McMillan, the Cardinals with a seven-run lead.

2409
03:13:02,000 --> 03:13:04,000
How sweet it is.

2410
03:13:04,000 --> 03:13:08,000
Here's the pitch. Ball, he walked it.

2411
03:13:08,000 --> 03:13:13,000
So McMillan starts the ninth with a base on ball.

2412
03:13:13,000 --> 03:13:21,000
You know, the use of Gibson here in relief would indicate that when the World Series opens here Wednesday afternoon,

2413
03:13:21,000 --> 03:13:24,000
Ray Sadecki probably will be the Cardinal pitcher.

2414
03:13:24,000 --> 03:13:32,000
And that might be a good development at that because in this small ballpark, small and right field,

2415
03:13:32,000 --> 03:13:39,000
and the Yankees with left-handed power, the Cardinals would probably prefer to use southpaws here in St. Louis.

2416
03:13:39,000 --> 03:13:43,000
Whereas at Yankee Stadium with a big ballpark, it doesn't make much difference.

2417
03:13:43,000 --> 03:13:46,000
So here's Joe Christopher.

2418
03:13:46,000 --> 03:13:50,000
Christopher hitting 3-0-1 for the season, right-handed batter.

2419
03:13:50,000 --> 03:13:55,000
Runner at first base, nobody outThe Phillies wallop, the Reds tend to nothing.

2420
03:13:55,000 --> 03:13:59,000
Now the stretch, and the pitch to Christopher.

2421
03:13:59,000 --> 03:14:03,000
There's the strike-off, one strike and no ball.

2422
03:14:03,000 --> 03:14:12,000
The Cardinals with them three outs of their first pennants since 1946.

2423
03:14:12,000 --> 03:14:17,000
Joe Christopher, a little unhappy.

2424
03:14:17,000 --> 03:14:22,000
From the Virgin Isles, and I know that Armed Forces is carrying our broadcast throughout the Caribbean

2425
03:14:22,000 --> 03:14:26,000
as well as throughout the world today.

2426
03:14:26,000 --> 03:14:29,000
There's a stretch, and the pitch is on the way.

2427
03:14:29,000 --> 03:14:33,000
Christopher swings and misses, strike two.

2428
03:14:33,000 --> 03:14:38,000
Boy, I don't know if you can hear us here in the, what an excited frenzy this crowd is in.

2429
03:14:38,000 --> 03:14:43,000
Better than 30,000 people sitting in on the winning of a pennant.

2430
03:14:43,000 --> 03:14:46,000
And what a hectic two weeks we've had.

2431
03:14:46,000 --> 03:14:50,000
The stretch, the pitch, Christopher pops it up.

2432
03:14:50,000 --> 03:14:54,000
In foul territory, Bill White, one out.

2433
03:14:54,000 --> 03:15:05,000
One away here on the top of the ninth is Jim Hickman, who used to be in the Cardinal Organization.

2434
03:15:05,000 --> 03:15:14,000
Two more outs to go, and the almost impossible achievement of the St. Louis Cardinals will have been realized.

2435
03:15:14,000 --> 03:15:21,000
Six and a half back with about 12 games to go, about to clinch the pennant.

2436
03:15:21,000 --> 03:15:25,000
One out, one on. Hickman the batter.

2437
03:15:25,000 --> 03:15:29,000
Gibson gets ready to pitch, and it's a little bit outside.

2438
03:15:29,000 --> 03:15:37,000
McCarver behind the plate, a strong wind blowing out, and several hitters have taken advantage of it.

2439
03:15:37,000 --> 03:15:40,000
Nothing else really matters on that scoreboard.

2440
03:15:40,000 --> 03:15:44,000
Here's the stretch, and the pitch to Hickman.

2441
03:15:44,000 --> 03:15:46,000
He takes it inside, ball two.

2442
03:15:46,000 --> 03:15:48,000
Two balls, no strikes.

2443
03:15:48,000 --> 03:15:51,000
McMillan at first, one out.

2444
03:15:51,000 --> 03:15:54,000
The ball game in the top of the ninth.

2445
03:15:54,000 --> 03:15:58,000
Bob Gibson, who replaced Kurt Simmons in the sixth.

2446
03:15:58,000 --> 03:16:00,000
Boyer at third.

2447
03:16:00,000 --> 03:16:02,000
Groted short.

2448
03:16:02,000 --> 03:16:06,000
Maxville, who's done a great job substituting for Javier at second today.

2449
03:16:06,000 --> 03:16:10,000
White at firstThe pitch to Hickman is a strike at the knees.

2450
03:16:10,000 --> 03:16:14,000
And this crowd is roaring with every pitch now.

2451
03:16:14,000 --> 03:16:21,000
We're down at the field level, and we will later be in the clubhouse.

2452
03:16:21,000 --> 03:16:24,000
So stay tuned. Here's the pitch.

2453
03:16:24,000 --> 03:16:31,000
Ball three is high. Three balls, one strike.

2454
03:16:31,000 --> 03:16:36,000
One away. Right-handed batter digging in.

2455
03:16:36,000 --> 03:16:40,000
Bob Gibson gets set. Jim Hickman the batter.

2456
03:16:40,000 --> 03:16:43,000
Let's turn it over, six-four-three and out.

2457
03:16:43,000 --> 03:16:46,000
Strike, no ball for, inside.

2458
03:16:46,000 --> 03:16:53,000
So Johnny Keene coming out of the dugout now as right-handed batter comes up there.

2459
03:16:53,000 --> 03:16:55,000
Charlie Smith.

2460
03:16:55,000 --> 03:17:00,000
And it's going to be Barney Schultz, the knuckleballer, coming in.

2461
03:17:00,000 --> 03:17:04,000
Bob Gibson, a wild tonight, today rather.

2462
03:17:04,000 --> 03:17:10,000
But he just pitched Friday evening and lost one to nothing.

2463
03:17:10,000 --> 03:17:16,000
So if he's not as sharp as usual, there's good reason for it.

2464
03:17:16,000 --> 03:17:19,000
We have runners at first and second, one out.

2465
03:17:19,000 --> 03:17:22,000
Barney Schultz, a knuckleballer, coming in.

2466
03:17:22,000 --> 03:17:29,000
The wind blowing strongly, and that's considered good for a knuckleball pitcher.

2467
03:17:29,000 --> 03:17:36,000
The Phillies won from the Reds today, and that's what has caused this development,

2468
03:17:36,000 --> 03:17:39,000
where the Cardinals needing two outs to clinch a pennant.

2469
03:17:39,000 --> 03:18:02,000
Bob Gibson getting a big hand. Listen.

2470
03:18:02,000 --> 03:18:09,000
Barney Schultz, one of the reasons why the Cardinals are in this enviable position that they are at this moment.

2471
03:18:09,000 --> 03:18:15,000
This fellow has been fantastic since he joined the Cardinals on August the 1st.

2472
03:18:15,000 --> 03:18:20,000
A knuckleballer who's been credited with something like 12 or 13 saves already.

2473
03:18:20,000 --> 03:18:28,000
Veteran at age 38, seemingly his Major League career was over.

2474
03:18:28,000 --> 03:18:35,000
Went to Jacksonville hoping that some team might need a little help and if he did well, might bring him up.

2475
03:18:35,000 --> 03:18:40,000
Little dreaming that it would be the Cardinals who had had him in spring training.

2476
03:18:40,000 --> 03:18:43,000
And here he is, Barney Schultz.

2477
03:18:43,000 --> 03:18:55,000
And maybe it is poetic at that, that Barney Schultz, who perhaps has done as much if not more,

2478
03:18:55,000 --> 03:19:01,000
plugging the biggest gap, weakness in the bullpen, to make the Cardinals drive possible.

2479
03:19:01,000 --> 03:19:09,000
Perhaps it's only fitting that it should be Barney Schultz who gets the final two outs necessary for a pennant-winning victory.

2480
03:19:09,000 --> 03:19:14,000
Charlie Smith up there, he homered earlier.

2481
03:19:14,000 --> 03:19:17,000
He homered yesterday. He's hit 20 out of the ballpark.

2482
03:19:17,000 --> 03:19:25,000
Runners are at first and second, a seven-run lead.

2483
03:19:25,000 --> 03:19:28,000
Now the strike.

2484
03:19:28,000 --> 03:19:30,000
Ready to pitch on the way.

2485
03:19:30,000 --> 03:19:34,000
And Smith takes a strike.

2486
03:19:34,000 --> 03:19:36,000
Fastball strike.

2487
03:19:36,000 --> 03:19:39,000
One strike and no balls. Runners at first and second.

2488
03:19:39,000 --> 03:19:43,000
A double play would end it all here.

2489
03:19:43,000 --> 03:19:45,000
Boyer at third.

2490
03:19:45,000 --> 03:19:47,000
Roe to chart.

2491
03:19:47,000 --> 03:19:49,000
Baxman at second, White playing back at first.

2492
03:19:49,000 --> 03:19:55,000
Here's a foul ball as Charlie Smith went after a low-knuckle ball.

2493
03:19:55,000 --> 03:20:00,000
Two strikes and nothing.

2494
03:20:00,000 --> 03:20:05,000
It takes two outs to be able to save.

2495
03:20:05,000 --> 03:20:11,000
And Heiser-Busch first in the brewing industry and first in the National League.

2496
03:20:11,000 --> 03:20:14,000
We need two outs to do that.

2497
03:20:14,000 --> 03:20:18,000
Two strikes, no balls.

2498
03:20:18,000 --> 03:20:20,000
Signal given.

2499
03:20:20,000 --> 03:20:24,000
Barney Schultz, how can you be that cool, Barney?

2500
03:20:24,000 --> 03:20:27,000
Takes his time, leans forward.

2501
03:20:27,000 --> 03:20:29,000
From the belt, the pitch.

2502
03:20:29,000 --> 03:20:31,000
And here it is.

2503
03:20:31,000 --> 03:20:40,000
Torrance, to work it out.

2504
03:20:40,000 --> 03:20:53,000
So Charlie Smith goes down swinging.

2505
03:20:53,000 --> 03:21:02,000
Out here is Rod Kniell from Springfield, Missouri.

2506
03:21:02,000 --> 03:21:04,000
Right-handed batter.

2507
03:21:04,000 --> 03:21:06,000
Right in business down that way.

2508
03:21:06,000 --> 03:21:11,000
I believe in the cement business or something, he'll be home in Springfield tonight.

2509
03:21:11,000 --> 03:21:13,000
KMX, KMX FM, St. Louis.

2510
03:21:13,000 --> 03:21:16,000
Out runners at first and second, one more out.

2511
03:21:16,000 --> 03:21:19,000
And the Cardinals will have clinched the pennant.

2512
03:21:19,000 --> 03:21:21,000
Barney Schultz gets ready.

2513
03:21:21,000 --> 03:21:27,000
The stretch, the pitch, swings and it hits it.

2514
03:21:27,000 --> 03:21:29,000
One strike, no ball.

2515
03:21:29,000 --> 03:21:41,000
This crowd is besides itself.

2516
03:21:41,000 --> 03:21:45,000
Vlad Fakarde, I just overheard saying the impossible really happened.

2517
03:21:45,000 --> 03:21:47,000
Here's the pitch.

2518
03:21:47,000 --> 03:21:49,000
It's a wild pitch, it's the Empire.

2519
03:21:49,000 --> 03:21:51,000
The runners advance to second and third.

2520
03:21:51,000 --> 03:21:53,000
Ed Borgo was in on that one.

2521
03:21:53,000 --> 03:21:58,000
A knuckleball that hopped over McCarver's mitt.

2522
03:21:58,000 --> 03:22:00,000
It'll be a pass ball.

2523
03:22:00,000 --> 03:22:06,000
And runners are at second and third with two away, 11 to four in favor of the Cardinals.

2524
03:22:06,000 --> 03:22:08,000
Rod Kniell the batter.

2525
03:22:08,000 --> 03:22:15,000
In the ninth.

2526
03:22:15,000 --> 03:22:24,000
Here comes Bill Joukowsky down from second base to see that Ed Borgo isn't hurt.

2527
03:22:24,000 --> 03:22:28,000
Now all set.

2528
03:22:28,000 --> 03:22:37,000
One ball, one strike.

2529
03:22:37,000 --> 03:22:42,000
Now the signal given.

2530
03:22:42,000 --> 03:22:46,000
And the windup by Barney Schultz, here's the pitch on the way.

2531
03:22:46,000 --> 03:22:49,000
A ground ball, left field, two runs are going to score.

2532
03:22:49,000 --> 03:22:53,000
And now it's an 11 to six ball game.

2533
03:22:53,000 --> 03:22:55,000
Kniell singles to left.

2534
03:22:55,000 --> 03:22:57,000
So that makes it 11 to six.

2535
03:22:57,000 --> 03:23:01,000
Two out, one out to go, here's Ed Creedpool.

2536
03:23:01,000 --> 03:23:05,000
Makes a one run, only one run, 11 to five.

2537
03:23:05,000 --> 03:23:08,000
We're down here at the field level.

2538
03:23:08,000 --> 03:23:12,000
Only one run scored as they played it safe.

2539
03:23:12,000 --> 03:23:16,000
The Mets, Lou Brock fumbled the ball out there.

2540
03:23:16,000 --> 03:23:20,000
But the runner at third base, Hickman, held on.

2541
03:23:20,000 --> 03:23:24,000
So it is 11 to five in favor of the Cardinals.

2542
03:23:24,000 --> 03:23:27,000
And here's Ed Creedpool.

2543
03:23:27,000 --> 03:23:30,000
Top half of the ninth inning, the stretch.

2544
03:23:30,000 --> 03:23:33,000
From the belt here's the pitch to Creedpool.

2545
03:23:33,000 --> 03:23:37,000
It's a strike, a knuckle ball over the outside corner.

2546
03:23:37,000 --> 03:23:48,000
One strike, a no ball.

2547
03:23:48,000 --> 03:23:51,000
Two strikes, no ball. Ed Creedpool the batter.

2548
03:23:51,000 --> 03:23:54,000
Runners at first and third, two away.

2549
03:23:54,000 --> 03:23:57,000
The pitch, strike two called.

2550
03:23:57,000 --> 03:24:00,000
Hit the outside corner at the knee.

2551
03:24:00,000 --> 03:24:02,000
And the Cardinals, one quick.

2552
03:24:02,000 --> 03:24:04,000
One more strike, come on.

2553
03:24:04,000 --> 03:24:07,000
If you've never heard Mr. Gussie Bush excited,

2554
03:24:07,000 --> 03:24:10,000
you just heard him over my shoulder.

2555
03:24:10,000 --> 03:24:13,000
Two strikes, no ball.

2556
03:24:13,000 --> 03:24:18,000
Runners at first and third, the Cardinals leading 11 to five.

2557
03:24:18,000 --> 03:24:25,000
Johnny Keene about to bring the Redbirds their first punter since 1946.

2558
03:24:25,000 --> 03:24:29,000
Two strikes, no ball.

2559
03:24:29,000 --> 03:24:32,000
Listen to this crowd.

2560
03:24:32,000 --> 03:24:40,000
Let's go! Get him out!

2561
03:24:40,000 --> 03:24:44,000
Now the stretch. Ready, everybody standing up.

2562
03:24:44,000 --> 03:24:48,000
The pitch, a high pop ball.

2563
03:24:48,000 --> 03:24:50,000
The thrower's there.

2564
03:24:50,000 --> 03:24:52,000
The Cardinals win the pennant!

2565
03:24:52,000 --> 03:24:54,000
The Cardinals win the pennant!

2566
03:24:54,000 --> 03:24:56,000
The Cardinals win the pennant!

2567
03:24:56,000 --> 03:24:58,000
Everybody out! Johnny!

2568
03:24:58,000 --> 03:25:01,000
Everybody congratulating everybody.

2569
03:25:01,000 --> 03:25:04,000
I don't know if I'll ever get here.

2570
03:25:04,000 --> 03:25:06,000
I don't know if I'll ever get here.

2571
03:25:06,000 --> 03:25:09,000
The Cardinals have just won the pennant.

2572
03:25:09,000 --> 03:25:11,000
Mayhem on the field.

2573
03:25:11,000 --> 03:25:14,000
Joe Schultz, congratulations.

2574
03:25:14,000 --> 03:25:19,000
Ray Washburn, Bob Schitter.

2575
03:25:19,000 --> 03:25:26,000
Hey, hey Tim, hey Tim, hey Tim, hey Tim, come here.

2576
03:25:26,000 --> 03:25:29,000
How about it, boys?

2577
03:25:29,000 --> 03:25:33,000
I never happened to be in my life.

2578
03:25:33,000 --> 03:25:35,000
Okay.

2579
03:25:35,000 --> 03:25:39,000
All right, let's hold it up.

2580
03:25:39,000 --> 03:25:43,000
Oh, hold on. We made it, did we, Harry?

2581
03:25:43,000 --> 03:25:47,000
We're finally made. Congratulations.

2582
03:25:47,000 --> 03:25:54,000
Mr. Bush, congratulations. How do you feel?

2583
03:25:54,000 --> 03:25:58,000
I never was happier in all my life, Harry.

2584
03:25:58,000 --> 03:26:04,000
And by gosh, after 18 years, we're now able to return to our fine fans

2585
03:26:04,000 --> 03:26:08,000
a real pennant team and we're going to win the World Series.

2586
03:26:08,000 --> 03:26:10,000

I'm darn near limp from excitement right now, I'll tell you that.

03:26:18,000 --> 03:26:20,000
I know how happy you are and congratulations.

Thank you a million.
