00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:15,000
The New York Yankees face the Kansas City Royals at Royal Stadium for game 2 of the ALCS on October 10th, 1976.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
The Yankees lead the best of five series, one game to none.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
And this is the national broadcast of game 2 featuring announcers Ernie Harwell and Ned Martin.

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Each manager making a few line-up changes. Why do you hear that? Because of an injury to his set-up deal, Amos Otis,

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
and Billy Martin because he wanted to get some left-hand power in against the Kansas City right-hander.

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
The pitchers this evening, Ed Figueroa, will be on the mound for the Yankees,

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,000
The native of Puerto Rico with 19 wins and 10 defeats this season, 0-2 against Kansas City,

9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,000
and a lifetime mark against the Royals of 1-6, and a right-hander, Dennis Leonard, will be pitching for the Royals.

10
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,000
He's won 17 and dropped 10 this year and is 1-0 against his rivals from New York.

11
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,000
The umpires and managers have broken up their conference nowThe umpires station themselves out on a diamond.

12
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And here is the batting order for the New York Yankees. Leading off at instead of field, Mickey Rivers,

20
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
And the batting number nine, the shortstop, Fred Stanley. Stanley at shortstop.

21
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
For the home team here in Royal Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, it will be Jim Warford leading off.

22
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:25,000
He'll be in left field. Al Cowan is hitting number two, playing in center field. That's Cowan and setter.

23
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
George Brett is the number three hitter, stationed at third base. He had three hits yesterday.

24
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,000
John Mayberry, the first baseman hits clean-up for Lydie Herzog's team. That's Mayberry at first base.

25
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Then comes the designated batter, Al McRae. McRae, the designated batter, followed by the right fielder, Tom Poquette.

26
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Poquette in right fieldThe next batter for the Kansas City Royals is second baseman, Frank White.

27
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:05,000
White at second base, followed by the number eight batter, Freddie Potek, the shortstop, Potek at short.

28
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
And the catcher is Buckner and Smart-Key.

29
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,000
The PA man introducing the Royals here, and they have now taken the field.

30
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
And Leonard, the right-hander, coming in from the bullpen, he'll be the last man on the diamond.

31
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:27,000
The measurements down the left field line, it's 330. It's 385 into the left field area.

32
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
And then the 410 into left setter and the right setter.

33
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Moving around into the right center field alley, it's 385.

34
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000
And the 330 are down the right field line, here in this beautiful ballpark.

35
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Now, Lydie Herzog has a problem with his hitting. His team has been in almost a month-long slump.

36
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
They played excellent ball in the first half of the year. They slumped off in the second half.

37
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
And Lydie hopes that they'll be the first half team here tonight,

38
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:03,000
because he needs a victory to get this championship series even at one-one a-piece.

39
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Now, Leonard is taking the mound. He's shotting out and the home crowd gets him a hand.

40
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000

43
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Hey, Miss Otis, on the bed.

44
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Lydie Herzog told an Ed Markman, maybe, before the game that he did not think that Otis would appear in the playoff series at all.

45
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
He injured his ankle in the first inning running out of a attempt.

46
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Yesterday sprained his ankle. It is swollen quite a bit.

47
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,000
And he will not be used even as a pinch hitter or any other role throughout the series.

48
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Leonard's taking his final tune-up tosses now with Buck Martinez.

49
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:11,000
And around the infield on defense, it'll be Brett at third, Patek at shortstop, White will be at second,

50
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Mayberry will be at first base, Wolford in left field, Cowens and Sutter replacing the injured Amos Otis,

51
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
and Poquette moving over to right field.

52
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
And the umpire, Larry Barnett, will work behind the plate.

53
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:32,000
It'll be George Maloney at first base, Bill Haller stationed out at second, Art Brant will be behind third.

54
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Down the left field line, the umpire will be Larry McCoy.

55
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
And down the right field line, it'll be the man who worked behind the plate yesterday,

56
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Joe Franklin.

57
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Day game yesterday and a night game tonight here in Kansas City.

58
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:55,000
And the Royals hoping that their play will be just that much different day and night.

59
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Well, here's the man who's topped in our profession of baseball broadcasting,

60
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,000
a good friend of mine, and I'm happy to be with him on this series, Mr. Ned Martin, the boy for the Boston Red Sox.

61
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Thank you Ernie Harwell, and thank you for those.

62
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
And good evening again everybody on a beautiful night in Kansas City.

63
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000
It surprised a lot of people because they figured it would be cold tonight.

64
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
It was a little chilly toward the end of the game yesterday,

65
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
but it's in the mid-70s and almost perfect Indian summer weather.

66
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Denny Leonard pitching against Mickey Rivers who had two hits in yesterday's first game.

67
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
He's two for five in the series, blubbed the butt, and it's strike one, he missed it.

68
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000
He's got 312 on the air with eight homers and 67 runs batted in.

69
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000
A big, big factor in the Yankees success.

70
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Bends over from the left side, checks his swing and takes ball one.

71
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
One ball, one strike.

72
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Leonard throws hard, there's not a batter.

73
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:00,000
He's got a good fastball, a fastball that will run in on a right-handed hitter and sink down towards him and away from a left-hander.

74
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,000
There's a foul off the left side and the count is still one and two to Mickey Rivers.

75
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Leonard, still a young pitcher, 25 years old, has a good slider too.

76
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:21,000
But it's the feeling that he needs an off-speed pitch to completely compliment himself, an off-speed pitch, a flip pitch or something like that.

77
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Jack knifing away for a pitch down low and inside is Mickey Rivers, the count is two and two.

78
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Two balls, two strikes, the Rivers were underway here at Royals Stadium.

79
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Big, big game for the Royals and of course for the Yankees too, but the Royals need it.

80
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:46,000
There's a chopper foul off to the right side and for the first base dugout, the Royals dugout here.

81
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Now the Royals say that the teeter Leonard's pitching is his curveball.

82
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,000
He's got an excellent curve and if he gets it over he can be real trouble. If he doesn't get it over there'll be another story.

83
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:05,000
The count is two and two to Rivers and the fastball is peeled foul off the left side and Rivers loses his bat popped out of his hand.

84
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Still Mickey is being troublesome up there as usual.

85
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:18,000
One of the fastest men in the league over from the California Angels and he has put a new dimension in the Yankees this year.

86
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Two-two pitch, outside and high, a fastball and the count is three and two.

87
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Rivers will trouble you once he gets on base too. He's stole forty-three bases during the season and has caught only seven times.

88
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:40,000
He does not walk much. He comes up swinging. He walked only twelve times in the regular season.

89
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:58,000
The pitch to him fouled off. Sometimes a lead off batter such as Rick Berlton, Knife of the Red Sox and Mickey Stanley who used to do it with the Tigers occasionally will be a good weight hitter and go for the walk to get on base but Rivers just likes to swing.

90
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Leonard with a three-two pitch. Paul Forey walks in this time and Rivers on base and that starts things being tough for the Royals.

91
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Leonard has a pretty good move to first base. Roy White, left fielder. Roy White, the left fielder who quenched the game just about yesterday late with that two-run double that made the score four to one.

92
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000
He's a switcher and batting left-handed against Leonard. He's more effective from the left side.

93
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:42,000
White over the year. Hits two-eighty-six with fourteen home runs. Sixty-five RBI's. He went one for four yesterday and knocked in those two runs. Leonard lobs one over to first base just to keep Rivers on it.

94
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:53,000
The main thing to try to do against the Royals running and somebody who are like Rivers on this club, the Yankee Club, is to make that first throw over there hard. Well there's the second throw that's hard and Rivers stays.

95
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:02,000
But give them a good shot right off the bat instead of a lollipop dunk. Then they have a little more respect for you.

96
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:10,000
White waiting and the pitch to him is slammed foul on the left field side into the crowd. Nothing in one.

97
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Rivers stole five bases against the Royals this year. So he's not unused to that. Major League's had a tremendous year of base stealing.

98
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Over three thousand stolen bases this past seasonThe first time since 1914 and that many have been stolen in baseball. Of course at that time there were only sixteen teams.

99
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:45,000
There's another lob over there by Leonard and Rivers is right on the bag. Mickey doesn't take a big arrogant lead but he gets a good jump. He swings aroundThe upper part of his body is ready to go.

100
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:53,000
He edges off and goes back again as Leonard plays catch with John Mayberry.

101
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Rivers can do things like that. He can bother you. He can bother you enough so you lose concentration on the batter. He did that several times this summer. I remember against the Red Sox Club.

102
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:19,000
He holdsThe pitch out is made. Throw to first base and he stays the first. Rivers was not going but he bluffed going down to second. Martinez had the pitch out going.

103
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:27,000
And then fired down to first. That's kind of a new wrinkle on the pitch out. Rivers was fairly far off the bag.

104
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:42,000
But Mickey slipped back in and he beat the throwThe count is one and one to Roy White who is aging quietly at home plate while the throws continue to go to first base.

105
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:52,000
White likes the ball up and over the plate. There's another throw to first.

106
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:02,000
White will hit the high inside pitch to learn when he's batting left handed. Usually the left handed hitters like the low pitch inside like Mayberry is the Royals. There's another throw.

107
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Mayberry blocks it. Rivers is off balance and stays on the bag. And the crowd is getting a little restless now as Leonard continues to throw over to first base with nobody out in the first inning and one man on.

108
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Holding and the ground foul by White as first base coach Elton Howard.

109
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Top of the first just underway at Royals StadiumThe wind not as big a factor as it was yesterday afternoon. It's blowing the other way around actually from right to left.

110
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Waterfall over the walls in center field.

111
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Here's the set by Leonard.

112
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:56,000
And the pitch. White takes the fastball outside and they count on him as two and two.

113
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Leonard had a few things to say today whether he was chiding the Yankees or not. He was born in Brooklyn, New York and he figured that they should have taken him. A homegrown product with a good arm.

114
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,000
But I think he found a home here. He was one of the pitching reasons that the Royals went where they did.

115
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:25,000
He teamed up with another fastball pitcher, a youngster named Letel, whom we saw yesterday coming out of the bullpen. Two hard throwers.

116
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:34,000
A youngster who was really hurt by the injuries to Steve Cusby for most of the year and for Paul Splittor for half of it.

117
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Two-two pitch and it's outside and high for ball three. And Rivers is bothering Leonard.

118
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:59,000
So right at the start, Leonard, concerned by the base runner at first, has now gone three and two to white. Leonard will go full count and throw a lot of pitches in the ball game.

119
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Right hander sets and throws. There goes Rivers. There's a drive in the left field for a hit. Rivers holds the secondThe ball picked up by Walford.

120
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Thrown in the third. Runners at first and second. Nobody out.

121
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Well, I had Rivers going on a three-two pitch and white banging one and mining shot at the left field.

122
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:21,000
So the Yankees have something going in the first inning as they did yesterday. Runners at first and second. Nobody out.

123
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:31,000
The batter is Sherman Munson. Martinez goes halfway out. He's going to toss the ball and call something to Leonard.

124
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Munson missed everything for the New York Yankees over the past year. Fine season. Hitting three-oh-two with 17 home runs.

125
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,000
He knocked in 105 runs and finished second in the RBI race to Lee May of Baltimore.

126
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Munson went one for five yesterday. Goes through a lot of motions at the home plate, getting himself fed.

127
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:05,000
He'll thrust both arms out. Getting himself all spread away. Everything's got to be perfect and here's the pitch to him.

128
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Heels a foul off to the right side and out of play. And it's one strike to Sherman Munson. Rivers is second.

129
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:21,000
White at first and nobody out and both had activity already for the Kansas City Royals.

130
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Left-hander throwing. They had Mingoria out there early yesterday.

131
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:37,000
One strike. And here's the set and the pitch.

132
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Going Munson back off the plate. One ball, one strike and Leonard is struggling.

133
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:58,000
In the first inning yesterday when the, when the guru was in trouble, they had both Littell and Mingoria out there.

134
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:07,000
It is Paul Splitarm who usually is a starter but because of his injury is coming back slowlyThe pitch is inside to Munson.

135
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:18,000
The count is two and one and Whitey Herzog sending out his pitching coach, Galen Cisco.

136
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
And when Cisco comes out, it means to talk or to buy some time for his bullpen.

137
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000
When Whitey comes out, just as when Billy Martin comes out, it's usually with the hook.

138
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Cisco's the pitching coach. This roughest fellow Leonard along got him to come on with a top or be a lot more effective pitcher.

139
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:45,000
And I imagine now he's just trying to settle him down in this first inning. It's always probably the toughest inning for a pitcher, especially a youngster.

140
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:54,000
And he's having a struggle now. Yankees have done about what they did yesterday except they reversed it yesterday. Rivers had a single and Whitey had a walk.

141
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:01,000
And today in the first inning it's been the reverse of that, a walk to Rivers and they hit the run single by White.

142
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Now Cisco's gone back to the dugout. Munson back in the batter's box and let's see what happens.

143
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Two and one to Thurman MunsonThe table setters are on. They've done their job in both these games. Rivers and White.

144
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Munson stands in waiting for the two-one delivery. Leonard fires and it's fouled off. Proud of play down the right field line.

145
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Two and two to Thurman.

146
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Munson for the last few years has been living in shadows, maybe created by himself. I don't know. But he knows his worth and that he knows he's good and everybody else knows he's good.

147
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:51,000
But he always got the feeling for a while that he was being downrated by the likes of one in one year Carlton Ciske of the Red Sox and of course in all years by Johnny Bench of the Cincinnati Reds.

148
00:17:51,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Munson has proven himself right up with air with the best and maybe the best. Fine defensive catcher. Tough hitter in this lineup.

149
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Two and two. Here it is. Ground ball towards short. Potec to White for one to first and they've got the double play.

150
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Holding it third is Mickey Rivers seizing a throw and Mayberry runs it in. Rivers holds it third.

151
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Six ball three double play that helps Leonard immeasurably.

152
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Taylor made double play ball right to shortstop Freddie Potec. He had to come in on it a little bit because it was a not sharply hit.

153
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:47,000
But Munson was not overly fast down the line. Was an easy man to double then as Frank White suited John Mayberry who gave it a big stretch out toward right field.

154
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Rivers turned the bag at third and bluffed going home trying to tease a bad throw from Mayberry but Big John just held on and ran it in.

155
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Rivers is at third. There are two outs now and Chris Shambliss who went two for four is up. Yankee first baseman a left handed batter with a closed stand.

156
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:13,000
The fastball is jumped outside ball one. Shambliss hits two ninety three on the regular season. He had seventeen home runs.

157
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Ninety six runs battered and he was right up there among the top five or six at RBI.

158
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Had a fine year overall for New York. They over shift on him a little bit.

159
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Ground ball to second base. Frank White waits for the ball to play in throws the firstThe inning is over.

160
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Shambliss grounds out second to first and the Yankees have no runs. One hit and they leave one.

161
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,000
In the middle of the first inning the Yankees nothing and the Royals coming up.

162
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Okay let's take a look at scores in the National Football League.

163
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Baltimore twenty eight the Dolphins fourteenThe New York Jets seventeen.

164
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Buffalo fourteenThe Cowboys twenty fourThe Giants fourteen. Kansas City thirty three. Washington thirty.

165
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Cleveland eighteen. Pittsburgh sixteen. Cincinnati twenty one. Tampa Bay nothing.

166
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:18,000
The Detroit Lions thirtyThe Patriots tenThe Minnesota Vikings twentyThe Chicago Bears nineteen.

167
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Houston seventeen. Denver three. New Orleans thirty. Atlanta nothing. Green Bay twenty seven.

168
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Seattle twenty. St. Louis thirty three. Philadelphia fourteen. And it was open twenty seven. San Diego seventeen.

169
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,000
On Monday the San Francisco forty niners are at the Los Angeles Rams.

170
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:47,000
So those are the scores. We'll check the details the next time we get a break.

171
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,000
CBS Radio Sports is bringing you the play by play action in the American League Championship.

172
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000
And there's more to comeThe World Series starts October 16th next Saturday.

173
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:09,000
And you'll hear exclusive radio coverage play by play of the 1976 World Series right here on the CBS Radio Network station.

174
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Right hander Ant Siguroa taking his warm up. As Ernie told you earlier he's had trouble with the Kansas City Royals.

175
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:23,000
He's in his six in his American League career against his club both as a Yankee and as a member of the California Angels.

176
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:31,000
He's a short arm right hander. Good at keeping the ball low. He throws the thinker the slider.

177
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Any two of Jim like Leonard could use an off three pitch.

178
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:47,000
He does not have one. He's very sneaky. He's a lot quicker than he looks.

179
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:54,000
The first man you'll face will be left fielder Jim Wolford who was put into action yesterday when Otis was hurt in the first inning.

180
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Wolford a right handed batter the left fielder hit two forty nine on the air. He takes strike one.

181
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Wolford had one homer and twenty four on the eyes on the season and was held hitless yesterday in three trips to the plate.

182
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,000
No score. We're in the bottom of the first round ball left side.

183
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:28,000
A high hopper taking a short stop long throw by Stanley not in time at the base hit.

184
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,000
A high chopper over the glow of metal. He could not have it.

185
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:36,000
He made the play and tried to get it over there but had not much steam on the throw from deep short.

186
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
So there goes Tigger O as no hitter.

187
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Al Callan the center fielder is up.

188
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
One for three yesterday had a triple.

189
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:51,000
When a triple right down the right field line and at that time in the game was very important.

190
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
It was a two nothing game at that time.

191
00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:00,000
He finally scored the Royals only run right handed batter to two sixty five on the year with three homers.

192
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:10,000
This is a called strike on him fastball.

193
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Well you might have thought the Royals are just one of the nights because that lead off single stirred everybody here.

194
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000
They've been waiting for something to happen. They throw his outside a little bit.

195
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
One ball one strike.

196
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Jim Wolford is not a stealing type of ball player.

197
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Although he has gotten some whole Royal Ball Club ran this year he still twenty two bases.

198
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
He was caught sixteen times.

199
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000
The pitch to Callan just up and in.

200
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Way high.

201
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Ball two. Two and one.

202
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,000
It appeared that Callan the right handed hitter was going to try to go to right field with that.

203
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Of course it was not the kind of ball you could unless you swing have an inside out swing.

204
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Chucking with a check with Chuck Hiller the third base coach on any kind of sign and maybe have been relayed.

205
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Here's the set by Figueroa throws the first and back on his knees is Wolford.

206
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:17,000
The Royals have a base runner nobody out.

207
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Callan is a good size.

208
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Punches the ball around he's not a home run type.

209
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Again a throw to first and they almost had Wolford leaning the wrong way.

210
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Had to dive back on his knees both times. Knees and stomach.

211
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:40,000
He leads off to the end of the dirt there and the in field. There he goes.

212
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Pitches it foul off to the right side.

213
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:50,000
They had Wolford going they had a play on and Callan trying to punch the ball to the right side of the infield.

214
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Fouled it off.

215
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,000
The count on him is now two balls two strikes.

216
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
The Royals promise that they're going to run.

217
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:07,000
The only way to try to create something they can't stand back and wait for somebody to hit it downtown because nobody's been hitting it downtown lately.

218
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:16,000
And they'll try to utilize their speed their base feeling ability which got them here in the first place.

219
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Two and two.

220
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Here it is there goes Wolford again ground ball base hit to the right field.

221
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Wolford turns second hence for third.

222
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:41,000
It's a single for Callan the runners are at the corners with nobody out.

223
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Well the Royals are starting in a hurry as they had a hit run single beautifully executed by Callan into that hole caused by the runner going and people running all over the infield.

224
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000
And that is that textbook stuff Ernie.

225
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,000
It sure is it's a beauty and they've got a tough man up there now.

226
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Best hit in the American League George Brett.

227
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Brett had three hits before yesterday on the year a league leading three thirty three he won it on the final game of the season.

228
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Three before in that game and he had three before yesterday.

229
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Left handed batter hits to all fields.

230
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000
The high fly ball into left field deep enough probably to get a run home.

231
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Roy White has it does not have much of an arm throws in the second base to run scores on the Royals League one nothing.

232
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:48,000
So Cincinnati or Cincinnati has in my mind after the way they handled the field today.

233
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:55,000
Kansas City's dog's first blood gets on the scoreboard on two singles and a sacrifice fly run batted in for Brett.

234
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
He did it in God.

235
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Mr. Alford scored John Allen.

236
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000
He buried a big guy John Mayberry over three yesterday.

237
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,000
A disappointing year for him hitting two thirty two on the season.

238
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Only 13 homers are used to hitting 30 or more.

239
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Not been ninety five runs he chops the foul ball off to the left.

240
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
In the Yankee bullpen early.

241
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Dix Hidrow a right hander is starting to throw so Billy Martins in this short series as with Whitey Hesha getting people ready in a hurry when a starting pitcher gets in trouble.

242
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,000
One nothing has the city for a sitting Mayberry big left handed hitter.

243
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:43,000
So the first not in time John was saying down the batting practice before the game said I just haven't hit well all year.

244
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:52,000
I've got to get back to the way I did he said I've been hitting defensively try to go up the middle into the opposite field.

245
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Wings he tried to pull that with fouls into the mid of Munson.

246
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
He's got awesome power.

247
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
He can hit the long ball but he just hasn't done it for them.

248
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Then he started to press and everything went wrong.

249
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
He didn't change anything.

250
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000
I just need to try to get back in the groove that I was in last year.

251
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000
He strikes to it all outside.

252
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:22,000
They'll pick him away hoping in using to go to left field.

253
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
He will really like the ball down and in the good strikes.

254
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,000
But if you tease him with a bad ball down and in he might go for it and miss it.

255
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,000
One to pitch little pop up foul first base side.

256
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Greg Nettles under it and he takes it for out number two.

257
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,000
They jammed Mayberry on that one and he fouled it up in the air.

258
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,000
So John is out and Al McCrae the designated winner is up.

259
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Mac Ray.

260
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:54,000
He had a rough day yesterday too went over four striking out twice.

261
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000
But then everybody had a bad day against Catfish Hunter except George Fretz.

262
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
One nothing.

263
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Oil is bleeding.

264
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Cowan's at first.

265
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Two outs and McCrae up.

266
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
He lost the batting title to Brett in the last day.

267
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
He hit 332 on the feet.

268
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Right handed batter takes outside a ball.

269
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Really there's nothing better that could happen to McCrae than for the Royals to win the playoff and the Bennett's.

270
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000
And then to get into a World Series against his old club the Cincinnati Reds.

271
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
He said he wished that would happen.

272
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,000
There goes Cowan.

273
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,000
The pitch is high.

274
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,000
So does second base.

275
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Not in time.

276
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,000
It goes into center field.

277
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Cowan heads for third.

278
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,000
He's got it safely.

279
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Stolen base and an error on Munson's throw.

280
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
And the Royals are running now.

281
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
A stolen base for Al Cowan.

282
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000
He can pick him up and lay him down.

283
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Munson who releases very quickly behind the plate.

284
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Sometimes he's erratic with his throwing and that one was low.

285
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Yesterday he was saved at possible error on a fine play by Stanley.

286
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Nobody could get this one.

287
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
It went past in the center field backed up by Rivers.

288
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
But Cowan has gone on to third.

289
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
The count is 2-0 to McCrae now.

290
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Runner at third base and 2-0.

291
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Figueroa throws.

292
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Misses outside.

293
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
3-0 to McCrae.

294
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Tom Colquette, a left handed batter is on deck.

295
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Dibro is not throwing anymore in the Yankee full fan but he's kind of wandering around there.

296
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Low outside, ball four and McCrae is on.

297
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,000
First walk off Figueroa.

298
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Number 26.

299
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Number 25.

300
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Here's Tom Colquette.

301
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Colquette.

302
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,000
C-O-P-U-E-T-P.

303
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Tom Colquette, the right fielder.

304
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,000
He started the game at left yesterday and then when Otis was third he moved to right.

305
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,000
That's where he is tonight.

306
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Had a good season at the play.

307
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
He was right up there among the league leaders for a while.

308
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Finished with a 3-0-2 batting mark.

309
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
He went 0-3 yesterday.

310
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Bats in a deep crouch.

311
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Strike calls.

312
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Outside corner.

313
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:20,000
So the Royals making some noise early off Ed Figueroa.

314
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Figueroa tried for 20 his last time out was against the Red Sox.

315
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
He got 15 hits and seven runs off it.

316
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,000
It's outside of change up attempts and the count is one and one.

317
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Billy Martin in that game at Fenway the last week of the season just left him in.

318
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Hoping the Yankees would score for him and then Figueroa would become the first Puerto Rican ever to win 20 games.

319
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,000
But it was not to be as the Red Sox beating seven to five.

320
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Normally of course Billy would have had him out there early.

321
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Out of it.

322
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
One and one.

323
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Hits outside.

324
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Some kind of turnover fit.

325
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,000
The count is two balls one strike.

326
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000
And Figueroa is struggling.

327
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:10,000
He would have had a chance to win 20 on the final day of the season but the Yankees were rained out of a double header with the Cleveland Indians.

328
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Two balls one strike.

329
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,000
The pitch to Porquette is slammed into right field.

330
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Take this.

331
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Do nothing.

332
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Go over to third base.

333
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000
They let it go through and down the third is MacRae.

334
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,000
He takes.

335
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Do nothing.

336
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Hands of City.

337
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Tom Porquette.

338
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Back to single in the right field out of the reach of Randolph.

339
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Scoring Cowan from third.

340
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
And there's where your running phase off.

341
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,000
The Cowan stolen base and reaching third on the error.

342
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000
It was an easy run.

343
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,000
MacRae went around to third base and Figueroa is still in a jam.

344
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Two outs.

345
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Runner to first and third.

346
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,000
And here is Frank White, the second baseman, went over two yesterday.

347
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Royals two.

348
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Yankees nothing.

349
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,000
We're in the first inning in game two.

350
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Wide right handed batter.

351
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Takes the pitch inside.

352
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Spinning him around almost hit it.

353
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Now, Sidro is up and throwing again in the Yankee bullpen in left.

354
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,000
White, who prefers the high ball to hit.

355
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Gets a chopper to his third.

356
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Picked up by Nettles.

357
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Fires across to first in time.

358
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Getting White to finally end the inning.

359
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000
On a big inning it was.

360
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:51,000
As the Kansas City Royals pick up two runs, they had three hits with the Yankee error and two were left.

361
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:57,000
And after one inning, the score is Kansas City two, the Yankees nothing.

362
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Okay, let's take a look at the details of National Football League game Sunday.

363
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:06,000
The Baltimore Colts getting pinpoint passing from Burt Jones and self defense when it counted.

364
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Moved into first place in the AFC East with a 28 to 14 win over Miami.

365
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Jones passed the one touchdown and ran for another as the Colts boosted their record to four and one.

366
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:23,000
A game ahead of New England in the AFC Eastern Division.

367
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Quarterback Ken Stable completed 20 of 26 passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns.

368
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,000
As the Oakland Raiders took a 27 to 17 victory over San Diego.

369
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:40,000
The win moved the Raiders in its all possession of first place in the AFC West at four and one.

370
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Their chargers are three and two.

371
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Linebacker Jim Murlow ran a pass interception back 83 yards for one touchdown.

372
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:58,000
And quarterback Bobby Scott accounted for two others as New Orleans blanks in the state's prone Atlanta Falcons 30 to nothing.

373
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Denny Leonard has two runs to work with now as he takes his warm up and is ready to face the Yankees in the second inning.

374
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,000
He'll be going against Carlos May, Greg Meadows and Oscar Gamble.

375
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:20,000
The water falls up between innings as they do here and of course at night with lights behind it making a very picturesque scene at beautiful Royal Stadium.

376
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Harry S. Truman complex here in Kansas City.

377
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:36,000
On that this game being beamed all around the world by American forces radio so we should send our greetings to all the folks and tell them that we'll be bringing them a little touch of home wherever they might be.

378
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:45,000
I hope so, yeah. Maybe the guys and girls who are from the heart of America country will be coming back here soon.

379
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:51,000
And thankfully they'll be coming back without having to go through a war to do it.

380
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Carlos May leading off a designated hitter with a right-hander going for Kansas City.

381
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,000
May replaces Pennella as a D8.

382
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Carlos May batted 259 on the year with three homers and 43 runs batted in.

383
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Came over to the Yankees for the White Sox in the deal that sent Ken Brett to Chicago.

384
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Black calls the left-handed batter.

385
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:24,000
May as many know had a serious accident when he was in the Marine Corps doing Marine Reserve duty several years ago.

386
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
A mortar went off and blew part of his thumb off.

387
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Winked and missed it.

388
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Nothing in two and it changed his whole batting style. When he came up with the White Sox he was a good young hitter.

389
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,000
He's a good hitter now but he has to choke up on the bat.

390
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:43,000
The thing that has bothered him most about that accident was the throwing to get used to that.

391
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,000
The Yankees have been using him cheaply as a designated hitter.

392
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Takes the low outside pitch, one ball, two strikes.

393
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:59,000
May's brother, Lee May of Baltimore.

394
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
The one-two delivery to him.

395
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Rounded foul passed first.

396
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
330 feet down each line here at Royal Stadium.

397
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:17,000
385 farther out in left and right. 410 towards the deep right center and left center power alleys and center field.

398
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,000
The 12-foot high wall going around from foul pole to foul pole.

399
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,000
The bullpens are at right and center there.

400
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
That wall about the same, that screen the same height.

401
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,000
There's a drive to left field. It could be trouble near the wall. It is curving. It is fair ball.

402
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Bouncing on one half against the wall.

403
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,000
The

404
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Wolfer's fires into Pottec, a double for Carlos May leading off the second for New York.

405
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
He can wheel that bat.

406
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,000
May doubles deep in the left field corner.

407
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:53,000
As we've told you before and if you've been to Royal Stadium and know about it,

408
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,000
you give them the double down the left field line.

409
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:02,000
You don't try to go in after it because it eludes you by maybe a triple or inside the part homer.

410
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,000
That's the second hit off winner.

411
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Yankees in business with May at second base and the batter, Greg Nettles, third baseman hit list in four trips yesterday.

412
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,000
32 homers on the year, the American League home run champion.

413
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,000
93 runs batted in. Fast ball outside.

414
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:29,000
254 hitter on the year but he's had the power and the production for the Yankees.

415
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:34,000
An excellent mistake hitter. You make a mistake on a breaking ball and he'll kill you.

416
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Left handed batter.

417
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Homes the bat right down at the end.

418
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,000
And the pitch.

419
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Check swing fouled off.

420
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Breaking pitch by Leonard that time. He rode the slider in on him.

421
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:57,000
The Royals lead 2-0 as the Yankees bat in the second inning in game two.

422
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Here is the set by Leonard to look back towards second base.

423
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,000
And he throws high outside again. He is keeping it away from Nettles.

424
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,000
The fast balls that are tailing away outside.

425
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:23,000
That fast ball which we mentioned runs into right handers. This time is running away from the left hander Nettles.

426
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:28,000
The temperature here at game time we are reminded was 69 degrees officially.

427
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Although some people earlier had said 75 but it's around 69, 70 and very pleasant really shirt sleeve weather here in October.

428
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Two balls, one strike to Greg Nettles.

429
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:53,000
And here is the double play who is not a threat to do much except just do the best you can in running.

430
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Medium lead off the bag and this is an eyeball three. Three and one to Nettles.

431
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000
And now Leonard is getting a little mess again.

432
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:10,000
A double play bailed him out of real trouble in the first inning when the first two Yankees got on.

433
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Big right hander leans in for the sign.

434
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:20,000
And he walks in. High outside and that was the pattern all the way through on Nettles.

435
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Fast balls up and away.

436
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000
The second walk issued by Leonard.

437
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Right field at Oscar Gamble is the batter.

438
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Did not play in yesterday's game.

439
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Left handed hitter with a 232 season mark but with 17 home runs and 57 runs batted in.

440
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Generates a lot of power on the left side.

441
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,000
He doesn't look as if he's a power hitter but he can pull them all and hurt you.

442
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Ball split off the left hander is up for the second time in the Royal Bullpen.

443
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:01,000
And for the second inning in a row the Yankees have their first two batters on.

444
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,000
But here's our May at second base and Nettles at first.

445
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Not much speed on the bases right now for New York.

446
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Double play depth for the infield and the pitch to Gamble is a strike call.

447
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,000
After takes the strike.

448
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Gamble had maybe the world champion afro in sports last year before he came to the Yankees.

449
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:30,000
And then when he came to the Yankees Mr. Steinbetter said cut it off.

450
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,000
And when the boss tells you to do that I guess you do it.

451
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Cost out to $30 but he said that's fine.

452
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Easy way to lose five pounds, students often say.

453
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
I was wondering how he kept the helmet on.

454
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Here's a one strike pitch to him. It's down low for a ball, one and one.

455
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,000
Very personable fellow Gamble.

456
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:58,000
And Mrs. Oscar Gamble, Juanita Gamble, will be singing the national anthem before game three in New York on Tuesday.

457
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Very pleasant singing voice.

458
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,000
The one one pitch to Oscar, bouncing ball into left field for a hit.

459
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Charged by Wolford, they are sending May.

460
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Wolford throws the plate, cut off by Patek, it's two to one.

461
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:23,000
So the Yankees are right back in it as Oscar Gamble punches a single through the shortstop hole to drive in Carlos May with a first Yankee run.

462
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
And they're holding a second base with Nettles.

463
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:33,000
We'll be here 10 seconds for base identification. This is the CBS Radio Network.

464
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:44,000
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

465
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Back at Royal Stadium in Kansas City, this is Ned Martin along with Ernie Harwell.

466
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:57,000
And we are watching a different kind of ball game so far tonight from yesterday's opener with D.D. Kitching, all of those guys.

467
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Both teams coming out hitting.

468
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:06,000
The score is Kansas City two, the Yankees one. Yankees with nobody out and runners at first and second.

469
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,000
The hitter is Willie Randolph, second baseman, right handed batter.

470
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Ground ball to short, Patek touches second.

471
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:19,000
And over the first double play. And over the third goes Gamble, but they get two out.

472
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Or a Nettles goes to third and Gamble is doubled up.

473
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Patek making the play unassisted, stepping on the bag to fourth Gamble and throwing the first against the fleet, Willie Randolph.

474
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Two tough men do double and they did it. And for a second time, a double play helped Leonard immeasurably.

475
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Two double plays turned by Kansas City.

476
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,000
Nettles is at third base. He represents the tying run.

477
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,000
And the batter is Fred Stanley. He went three before yesterday from his number nine spot.

478
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Yankee shortstop, right handed batter, swings and fouls just at strike one.

479
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Stanley is the kind of hitter that you may ease up on him.

480
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Maybe not meaning to, but you don't pay as much attention to him as the tougher hitters in the lineup.

481
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:08,000
And all of a sudden there he is, singing base hits around.

482
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,000
He did yesterday, played a fine game defensively too.

483
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Pitch is inside. One ball, one strike.

484
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Nettles at third, two out.

485
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Infield back deep now with two away.

486
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,000
They do not play Stanley to full. In fact they play in the push.

487
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,000
The center fielder, Cowans, over toward right center.

488
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,000
Fouls off the end of the bat into the first base dugout.

489
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,000
One ball, two strikes.

490
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:45,000
The put-off still works in the Kansas City bullpen.

491
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Royals home uniform glistening white against the green of the carton turf here,

492
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:59,000
which is kept in such excellent playing shape by George Tilmer and his fine ground crew.

493
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,000
A ball and two strikes with two out.

494
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:07,000
From the stretch, Leonard backs off the mound.

495
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:14,000
Nettles coming down the line at third, not a long way.

496
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Here's the set and the pitch.

497
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:22,000
Little pumper towards the right side of the infield taken by White in the air for the final out.

498
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,000
A handle rooper to second baseman Frank White to end the inning.

499
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:30,000
One Yankee run. They had a pair of hits and they leave one.

500
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:37,000
And after one and a half innings in the middle of the second inning in the Kansas City Royals 2, the New York Yankees won.

501
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Continuing with National Football League details, quarterback Mike Livingston tossed a 36-yard scoring pass to Larry Brunson in the final second

502
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,000
to give Kansas City a 33-30 victory over the Redskins.

503
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:56,000
The Chiefs' first victory in five outings, the Redskins have now lost two straights after winning the first three.

504
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,000
St. Louis scored touchdowns after four Philadelphia...

535

...

536
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:57,520
in the third place in the NFL's all-time career list ahead of San Francisco's Joe Perry.

537
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:05,360
Don Krocok kicked four field goals and Cleo Miller plunged for a touchdown as the Cleveland Browns

538
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:11,200
beat the Swamping Pittsburgh Steelers 18 to 16The Steelers are now in the basement of the AFC

539
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,640
Central with a one and four recordThe Browns are two and three.

540
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:21,520
The bottom of the second is approaching with the Royals leading the Yankees two to one.

541
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:28,240
The Cincinnati Reds took their second in a row from the Philadelphia Thills at Philadelphia

542
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:33,520
on a kind of gloomy day today, certainly gloomy for the people in Philadelphia who had such high

543
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:39,440
hopes for a good jump against the Reds, but they broke through Jim Lombardi's serve. Loney had a

544
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:44,800
no hitter through five innings, but they came up with four runs of the six knocking him out and

545
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,040
went on to beat him. Pat Zachary the winner, Lombardi the loser, who did see had the game

546
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:55,120
of Homer for Philadelphia, but the Reds just did it as the Thills fell into some mistakes here and

547
00:47:55,120 --> 00:48:01,680
there. A controversial call and a line drive went off the glove of Richie Allen for two runs,

548
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,920
a call that had never finally ever pushed, deciding it might be a base hit. Freddy Patek up,

549
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:13,840
he takes a strike on the outside corner. A one charm shortstop for the Kansas City Royals, Pat

550
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:22,080
Zachary. One for three yesterday, hit 241 on the year and he looks at a pitch outside, ball one.

551
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:29,120
One ball, one strike. Freddy has learned to go to the opposite field, punch the ball around.

552
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:36,960
He came up, he has some strength in the plate, but he's not the full type hitter. Fly ball,

553
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:42,560
straight away center, back four and then in for it is Rivers. Mickey puts it away and Patek is out.

554
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:50,240
One out of the Royals, second. Number 21, Buck Martinez, the catcher for the Royals,

555
00:48:50,240 --> 00:49:00,080
right-handed hitter. One over two yesterday, before being removed fourth-inch hitter.

556
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:08,000
Muck is 228 on the season with five homers. Hit Figueroa on the mound, finally weathered a rough

557
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:16,000
first inning, giving up two runs and three hits. Right-hander works, the fly ball into right field

558
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:22,640
this time. Under it is Gamble. Oscar puts this one away. Martinez is out and there's two away

559
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:31,200
very quickly in the Royals second inning. Leadoff man Jim Wolpert started the whole thing in the

560
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:46,640
first inning with an infield hit to short and he scored the first Royal run. Two apps, nobody on.

561
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,000
All one, thrown to Wolpert, right-handed batter.

562
00:49:52,000 --> 00:50:01,040
And the pitch by Figueroa, foul back to the screen.

563
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:08,000
Andy Hasler, the left-hander, will go for the Royals on Tuesday night in New York.

564
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:17,600
8 15 Eastern Daylight Time, the game time there, 7 15 Central.

565
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:25,440
1-1 pitch, a strike call, flipped across the outside. Conner and Wolpert is down on the

566
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:34,160
count, one ball two strikes. Doc Ellis will be Billy Martin's choice to go for the Yankees.

567
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,000
1-2 pitch, hit high, ball two, two and two.

568
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:51,280
Big near capacity crowd again tonight in Royal Stadium. Here's a 2-2 offering, ground ball,

569
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:56,400
right side, taken the first base by Shambles, plays it alone and the Royals are out 1-2-3.

570
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:01,920
An easy inning for Figueroa now, nothing is caught and after two innings of play it's the

571
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:11,920
Royals two and the Yankees one. Okay let's continue with a look at details of games in

572
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:17,680
The National Football League. Chuck Foreman ran for two touchdowns and Fred Cox floated two field

573
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:23,840
goals to help the Vikings to a 20-19 victory over ChicagoThe win gives Minnesota a one and a half

574
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:30,960
game lead over Chicago in the NFC CentralThe Vikings took a 17-0 halftime lead but the Bears

575
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:38,320
bounced back after the intermissionThe Green Bay Packers down 20-7 in the third quarter rallied

576
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:44,720
behind the passing of Lynn Dickey and defeated the expansion Seattle Seahawks 27-20. Dickey

577
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:50,160
threw a 66-yard scoring pass to Steve Odom late in the third quarter then led the Packers to their

578
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:55,680
winning score midway through the fourth quarter on the Barty Smith six-yard scoring run.

579
00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:01,200
Craig Wendry threw three touchdown passes as Detroit surprised New England 30-10 to give Tommy

580
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:08,080
Hutch brought the victory in his first game as interim coach. Here we go into the third inning

581
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:14,320
at Royal StadiumThe Kansas City Royals leading the Yankees two to one. Two rather interesting

582
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:21,040
innings offensively and Dennis Leonard trying to settle down in the third after two wobbly innings

583
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:27,280
during which time he has given up three hits two walks and a run but still has a two-one lead.

584
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:32,320
The Big Oars settled down nicely in the bottom of the second after having a rough first inning.

585
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:43,040
Leonard finishing his one up with Chuck Martinez. Last year his first full season rally in the

586
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:52,160
American League he won 16 and lost 7. He's always had a pretty good strikeout to walk ratio. This

587
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:59,840
past year in 1976 he struck out 148 while walking 70 better than a two to one ratio.

588
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:03,920
Dickey got the same as a two to one ratio.

589
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:13,920
Here's Mickey Rivers led the first inning with a walk got as far as third base and died there.

590
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:21,200
43 still in bases was good for seventh in the American League. Ground ball to second Frank

591
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:28,000
White as it throws him out one away. So they get Rivers off the base.

592
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,600
Left fielder Roy White.

593
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:37,440
Roy White comes up and he drilled a single into left field in the first.

594
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,840
But you're batting left tonight against Leonard.

595
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:49,520
George Brett at third with White up there playing wide of the bag. He is even with a bag that's

596
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:55,120
about a third of the way down towards second base. It's a little bit low ball one.

597
00:53:55,120 --> 00:54:01,120
He's playing on that inside line which is about the about tantamount to being the edge of the

598
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:08,720
infield grass on a normal grass diamond. Fly ball right center coming on hard as Cowans and he lets

599
00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:14,240
it drop. Here comes a White in the second baseThe throw is not in time. He has a hustle double.

600
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:21,680
Now that's a target and third double there Ned. One of those little Texas Lakers did drop in and

601
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:26,560
Cowans had to play it rather carefully because it can bounce over your head and go for inside the

602
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:32,960
park home run. But White took advantage of the fact that it was dropping in between the infielder and

603
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:38,720
The outfielder and he got too off it. He had the play right in front of him. He just went on there.

604
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:44,240
It was a throw by Cowans who has a good throwing arm was a little bit too lateThe ball almost

605
00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:47,680
did get over his head on the bounce. He had to reach high for it and that's when White

606
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:54,080
put it into high and went into second base. So it's a pop fly double to center. Cowans had a long

607
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:58,720
way to come for that one. There's one outThe tying run at second base for New York and Thurman

608
00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:05,040
Munson is up. Yankees have four hits. Off Leonard. They are hitting the Royals 4-3.

609
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:15,440
White who can run is off second. There's a foul back by Munson. Thurman got it into a six-four

610
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:21,520
three double play in the first inning. That was a lazy cut by him that time. He's usually a lot more

611
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:27,520
aggressive than that. It might have been the slider. Nothing in one. Two Thurman.

612
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:34,000
Yankees running at Leonard for the third straight inning.

613
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,960
Leonard checks off second base. Comes in with his pitch and a fly ball maybe double down into

614
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:48,320
right field. It's going to drop in thereThe ball is picked up by Pochette. Tying run scores.

615
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:54,880
It's two to two. A double for Munson and that was not hard hit. He lifted it off the end of the bat

616
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:59,280
down the right field line. Pochette had to run for it. He could have no chance to try to shoe spring

617
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:04,720
it. A little pop fly double down the right field line for Munson. Drives in the tying run.

618
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:17,280
It's all new here. Two to two. Two balls that were really not ripped. This one hit late at the end down the right field line.

619
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:23,200
And for the third time in as many innings, Paul Splittorff gets up the throw out in right field.

620
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:28,160
Just starting forwarding his mail out there pretty soon I think. Yeah he's going to pitch a whole ball game

621
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:35,840
without coming in if this keeps up. RBI double for Munson. White scoring the tying run his side up two two. Here's Chris Shambliss.

622
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:45,120
Pitch to him is up high ball one. Shambliss rounded to second base in the first inning.

623
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:52,720
So with all the cheering and the shouting it's still two two now as the Yankees have run right back.

624
00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:59,760
So they've been doing all year. One O pitch. Shambliss checks off and takes it low outside. Ball two.

625
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:07,760
Leonard has been the most erratic in the early innings. You cannot exactly fault him for these two doubles though.

626
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:13,760
Can't fault anybody. They just lit in the right place.

627
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:21,760
Infield over shifted on Shambliss. They abort the swing but not enough and he goes through with it for strike one.

628
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:27,760
Two balls one strike. Kotek is way over almost directly behind second.

629
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:37,760
White is playing what you'd be considering almost a short field in softball. He's very deep at second base behind that white line.

630
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:43,760
And Mayberry is deep and three steps in from the line at first.

631
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:51,760
There's a ball driven pass between Mayberry and White and this will score MunsonThe fill comes in the second base. It's three to two New York.

632
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:57,760
Chris Shambliss singles sharply on the ground in the hole between White and Mayberry.

633
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:03,760
And three straight hits have given the Yankees the lead. They lead three to two.

634
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:08,760
And Whitey Herzog himself is coming out. That may be all for Leonard.

635
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:14,760
An RBI single for ShamblissThe Royals who jumped off with a two nothing lead.

636
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:20,760
Yep, Mr. Leonard is leaving. He has not been effective.

637
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:27,760
Then Paul Splinoff, the left-hander, will be brought in. Leonard goes two and one third innings.

638
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:36,760
During that time giving up six hits and three runs. He's responsible for a baserunner.

639
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:44,760
He walked two and did not strike out anyone. And he's leaving now in favor of Paul Splinoff who's coming in on the card.

640
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,760
Right now, a brief news.

641
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:58,760
Okay, more from the National Football League. Greg Landry threw three touchdown passes as the Detroit Lions surprised New England 30 to 10.

642
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,760
As we mentioned earlier to give Tommy Hutzpeth a victory in his first game as interim coach.

643
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:11,760
Landry had rookie tight end Dave Hill on two scoring tosses. A 21 yarder in the first quarter and a three yard pass with just over eight minutes to play.

644
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:18,760
Charlie Sanders also got a five yard touchdown strike with time running out in the first half.

645
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:26,760
Ken Anderson hit 10 or 15 for 98 yards and one touchdown to pay Cincinnati to a 21 nothing victory over the windless Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

646
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:33,760
Anderson found tight end Bob Trumpy with a 10 yard scoring toss with less than six minutes left in the opening period.

647
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:38,760
And fullback Ruby Clark added six more on a three yard touchdown run.

648
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:46,760
The unbeaten Dallas Cowboys spoiled the debut of the New York Giants in their new stadium by defeating the Giants 24 to 14.

649
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:54,760
A capacity crowd of more than 76,000 watched that contest.

650
00:59:54,760 --> 01:00:02,760
New pitcher for the Royals with the score Yankees three, Kansas City two. Here in the third inning is Paul Splinoff.

651
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:11,760
This year he won 11 in last game.

652
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:17,760
He had 26 appearances and 23 starts.

653
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:23,760
He worked both in relief and as a starting pitcher.

654
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:37,760
He's a winningest pitcher in the history of the Royal Ballclub and he was off to a very fine season before he dealt with a finger injury and forced him out of action from mid season until the final week of the 76 campaign.

655
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,760
And he's about ready to go to work so let's go back to that market.

656
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:53,760
All right Ernie here we go and Splinoff making a comeback as it were in the late stages of the season and now here in the playoffs getting a left arm in against the New York Yankees.

657
01:00:53,760 --> 01:01:02,760
Carlos May is the batter. He doubled his first time up. Curve ball over but low ball one.

658
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:12,760
May doubles the left and scores the first Yankee run in the second inning.

659
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:17,760
Mighty Ernie's got more people out there and the Bulls had a right-hander now. There's a called strike.

660
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:27,760
Doug Byrd who was throwing early yesterday afternoon is now moving in there and Mighty's got everybody warming now.

661
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:35,760
He's going to run out of tomorrow pretty soon in these things. May hits the ground ball on the right side just over the lunge of Mayberry and out of the reach of White.

662
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:40,760
A little ground ball single and had eyes and down to second base goes Shambler.

663
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:52,760
Boy, the hits this inning have been anything but pure doubles and singles. Two pop fly doubles, a ground ball single to right and this one really had eyes as it just took a high hop.

664
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:57,760
A Tarzan curve hop over Mayberry's glove out of the reach of White who was lurching off to his left.

665
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:07,760
So May singles these two for two. Shambler is at second base. Runners at first and second. Still only one out and the Royals have had four straight hits.

666
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:15,760
Seven already for them in the game. Split R facing another left-handed hitter, Greg Nettles. He drew a walk his first time up.

667
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:28,760
Foul back strike one. Marty Potec gave Shambler a good fake there and he split in. He might have made third base otherwise.

668
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:38,760
Well, we'll see what happens now with the runners at first and second. This is a situation where the Royals want the ground ball at somebody to get out of this thing with a double play.

669
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:47,760
Stitches inside moving in. One ball, one strike to Nettles.

670
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:56,760
Very quiet at Royals Stadium after the exuberance of a couple of innings ago.

671
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:02,760
There's a curve ball. It fails to break. It's inside. Ball two, two and one.

672
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:13,760
Overshifted again in the infield on Nettles with Potec shading second. White is not as deep as he was earlier on Shambler.

673
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:21,760
He's trying to shorten up a little bit and try to get the double play ball. They've had two of them already.

674
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:35,760
Good is. High fly ball to left center. Walford over. Over also is the center fielder Cowan who has a better arm. He makes the catch and the players, the runners will play it halfway in return.

675
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:50,760
Nettles flies to center fielder Al Cowan. Two outs now for the Yankees. And here's Oscar Gamble who lined a single to left field to drive in a run in the second.

676
01:03:50,760 --> 01:04:04,760
Yankees leading 3-2. They fill up with one run in the second and two here in the third. Royals jumped early with two runs in the first.

677
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:20,760
Terry's still looking for his first home run. There it is. Curve ball, fly ball, hits deep towards center but Cowan's is back. He's got it. Well hit by Gamble. That was probably the best hit for all the innings but he's out.

678
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:33,760
And the Yankees come up with two runs in the third. They had four hits in consecutive if they were. They left two men on base. And in the middle of the third inning the score is the Yankees three and the Royals two.

679
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:43,760
The Houston Oilers defense staffed by two first time starters completely shut off Denver's high scoring offense to record a 17-3 victory over the Broncos.

680
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:52,760
Fred Willis' 14-yard touchdown run was all Houston needed to maintain its share of the AFC Center Division League with Cincinnati with a 4-1 record.

681
01:04:52,760 --> 01:05:04,760
The loss was Denver's first in four games and dropped the Broncos from the lead in the AFCThe Broncos scored their only points late in the first quarter as Jim Turner kicked a 31-yard field goal.

682
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:33,760
So let's take a look then very quickly and see how things went. Baltimore 28, Miami 14, the Chet 17, Buffalo 14, Dallas 24, the Giants 14, Kansas City 33, the Redskins 30, Cleveland 18, Pittsburgh 16, Cincinnati 21, Tampa Bay Zip, Detroit 30, New England 10, Minnesota 20, the Bears 19, Houston 17, Denver 3, New Orleans 30, Atlanta nothing, Green Bay 27, Seattle 20.

683
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:45,760
St. Louis 33, the Philadelphia Eagles 14, and the Oakland Raiders 27, San Diego 17. Sunday in the NFL. Monday San Francisco at Los Angeles.

684
01:05:45,760 --> 01:06:03,760
The bet for inning number three for the Loyals. They are trailing by a run. Ed Figueroa who has not been sharp except in the second inning. He's had a sliding order there.

685
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:14,760
After a first inning we saw him give up three hits and a walk. A throwing error by Munson didn't help it.

686
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:22,760
First up will be Al Callens. Single to right field in the first inning. He's had a run. He's had a field error.

687
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:44,760
He's had a second base and went to third on the throwing error by Munson. Ed Figueroa ready with a sign from Servan Munson. Callens takes a breaking pitch on the inside corner for a call strike.

688
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,440
Chris Shambles at first base.

689
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,740
Willie Randolph at second.

690
01:06:49,740 --> 01:06:52,580
Fred Stanley at short and Greg Nettles at third.

691
01:06:52,580 --> 01:06:54,340
Foul ball off Cowens' back.

692
01:06:55,420 --> 01:06:56,740
And the count is 0-2.

693
01:06:56,740 --> 01:06:58,540
The left fielder is Roy White,

694
01:06:58,540 --> 01:07:00,580
The center fielder, Nicky Rivers,

695
01:07:00,580 --> 01:07:02,340
and the right fielder, Oscar Gamble.

696
01:07:04,900 --> 01:07:06,760
Yankees have three runs and seven hits.

697
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,660
They made an error and the Royals two runs and three hits.

698
01:07:09,660 --> 01:07:14,660
Bigarola, deals, misses outside.

699
01:07:19,220 --> 01:07:20,420
A ball and two strikes.

700
01:07:23,700 --> 01:07:25,900
The Royals were running in the first inning.

701
01:07:27,020 --> 01:07:30,620
The Yankees, they ran, only their running was in extending

702
01:07:30,620 --> 01:07:32,580
what looked to be singles into doubles.

703
01:07:32,580 --> 01:07:37,580
One ball, two strikes.

704
01:07:41,500 --> 01:07:44,860
There's a checked swing by Cowens on a breaking ball.

705
01:07:45,780 --> 01:07:46,620
Two and two.

706
01:07:51,180 --> 01:07:52,980
Mitch moved outside the strike zone.

707
01:07:52,980 --> 01:07:55,420
The count's two and two to Al Cowens.

708
01:07:55,420 --> 01:07:57,300
Infield back on the left side.

709
01:07:57,300 --> 01:07:58,820
Randolph, he's at second base.

710
01:07:58,820 --> 01:08:02,580
Cowens takes ball three outside, three and two.

711
01:08:09,500 --> 01:08:11,500
Reds beat the Phillies today, six to two.

712
01:08:11,500 --> 01:08:12,460
They're second in a row.

713
01:08:12,460 --> 01:08:13,740
They need just one more.

714
01:08:14,780 --> 01:08:16,940
Out of the next three games to be played,

715
01:08:18,020 --> 01:08:20,400
at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium.

716
01:08:22,140 --> 01:08:23,580
Three-two pitch.

717
01:08:23,580 --> 01:08:25,660
Bouncing ball towards the middle.

718
01:08:25,660 --> 01:08:27,060
Stanley has it back of the bag.

719
01:08:27,060 --> 01:08:28,300
A second, he throws him out.

720
01:08:28,300 --> 01:08:30,820
Nice play by Fred Stanley going to his left.

721
01:08:30,820 --> 01:08:32,980
Ball was not sharply enough to get through.

722
01:08:32,980 --> 01:08:34,180
George Red.

723
01:08:34,180 --> 01:08:38,700
Cowens is out, shorts the first, and George Red is up.

724
01:08:39,940 --> 01:08:42,100
He goes home a run with a sacrifice fly

725
01:08:42,100 --> 01:08:43,460
to left in the first inning.

726
01:08:46,540 --> 01:08:48,140
Three to five on the series.

727
01:08:53,220 --> 01:08:56,100
Had 215 hits this season.

728
01:08:56,100 --> 01:09:00,100
In regular season play, a Kansas City Royal record,

729
01:09:00,100 --> 01:09:02,420
team record, and also 14 triples.

730
01:09:03,380 --> 01:09:04,220
Strike calls.

731
01:09:07,420 --> 01:09:08,980
He'll use all parts of the field,

732
01:09:08,980 --> 01:09:11,180
mainly from right center toward left center.

733
01:09:12,300 --> 01:09:13,940
And he can line the ball directly

734
01:09:13,940 --> 01:09:15,740
to the opposite field down the line.

735
01:09:16,940 --> 01:09:19,540
In that way, Figueroa turns one over

736
01:09:19,540 --> 01:09:21,660
and it misses low and outside ball one.

737
01:09:21,660 --> 01:09:24,740
Figueroa works in kind of a no wind up motion.

738
01:09:24,740 --> 01:09:27,180
Only his big, high leg kick or anything,

739
01:09:27,180 --> 01:09:29,700
just throws the ground ball to second.

740
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:32,020
Picked up there by Randolph going to his left.

741
01:09:32,020 --> 01:09:33,660
He throws Fred out.

742
01:09:33,660 --> 01:09:34,740
Two up and two down.

743
01:09:37,100 --> 01:09:39,460
Usually Figueroa will get a lot of the ground balls

744
01:09:39,460 --> 01:09:42,060
because he can throw the ball down near the knees.

745
01:09:42,060 --> 01:09:43,860
John Mayberry, a fourth.

746
01:09:45,260 --> 01:09:48,660
John Mayberry fouled out to third baseman Greg Nettles

747
01:09:48,660 --> 01:09:49,500
just for his time off.

748
01:09:49,500 --> 01:09:52,580
And they've got the Mayberry shift again.

749
01:09:52,580 --> 01:09:56,260
He says that that shift did not exactly intimidate him,

750
01:09:56,260 --> 01:09:58,740
but it made him get their way this year.

751
01:09:59,700 --> 01:10:01,780
The ball high toward left down the line

752
01:10:01,780 --> 01:10:03,740
is going to be maybe out of play.

753
01:10:03,740 --> 01:10:04,580
Let's see.

754
01:10:04,580 --> 01:10:07,620
A great grab by Stanley or Nettles.

755
01:10:07,620 --> 01:10:08,740
He's got it.

756
01:10:08,740 --> 01:10:11,940
Greg Nettles makes a second catch in foul ground

757
01:10:11,940 --> 01:10:14,620
in the shadow of the railing over there

758
01:10:14,620 --> 01:10:16,500
on a ball that almost got away from him.

759
01:10:16,500 --> 01:10:18,700
He was pulled way over toward third.

760
01:10:18,700 --> 01:10:22,460
Way over toward shortstop from his normal third base spot.

761
01:10:22,460 --> 01:10:23,900
Fine play by Greg Nettles.

762
01:10:23,900 --> 01:10:25,020
Mayberry is out.

763
01:10:25,020 --> 01:10:27,100
The second time he has fouled to third.

764
01:10:27,100 --> 01:10:29,260
A one, two, three inning again for Figueroa.

765
01:10:29,260 --> 01:10:31,100
He's retired seven in a row.

766
01:10:31,100 --> 01:10:32,100
At the end of the third inning,

767
01:10:32,100 --> 01:10:34,340
The score Yankees three, Royals two.

768
01:10:35,980 --> 01:10:38,860
The Cincinnati Reds defeated Philadelphia six, two

769
01:10:38,860 --> 01:10:40,220
to move within one victory

770
01:10:40,220 --> 01:10:41,940
of clinching the second straight

771
01:10:41,940 --> 01:10:43,820
national league championship.

772
01:10:43,820 --> 01:10:46,340
The Reds held hitmills by Jim Lomborg

773
01:10:46,340 --> 01:10:47,500
through five innings,

774
01:10:47,500 --> 01:10:49,340
scored four runs in the sixth

775
01:10:49,340 --> 01:10:50,980
with the aid of a two runner

776
01:10:50,980 --> 01:10:53,220
charged to first baseman, Dick Allen.

777
01:10:54,620 --> 01:10:56,540
The victory gave the Reds a two nothing lead

778
01:10:56,540 --> 01:10:57,940
in their best of five series

779
01:10:57,940 --> 01:11:00,980
and with one more victory needed for a world series birth.

780
01:11:00,980 --> 01:11:04,340
The series now moves to Cincinnati beginning Tuesday.

781
01:11:04,340 --> 01:11:06,180
Lomborg had a two nothing lead

782
01:11:06,180 --> 01:11:08,820
but walked Dave Concepcion to open the sixth.

783
01:11:08,820 --> 01:11:11,340
Concepcion took second on an infield out

784
01:11:11,340 --> 01:11:13,900
and then scored on P. Rose's single,

785
01:11:13,900 --> 01:11:16,580
Cincinnati's first hit and run of the game.

786
01:11:16,580 --> 01:11:18,460
Ken Griffey followed with a single.

787
01:11:18,460 --> 01:11:21,140
Reliever Gene Garber intentionally walked Joe Morgan

788
01:11:21,140 --> 01:11:23,340
filling the bases before Tony Perez

789
01:11:23,340 --> 01:11:25,260
rifled a shot toward first.

790
01:11:25,260 --> 01:11:27,660
Allen flying in backhanded the ball

791
01:11:27,660 --> 01:11:30,220
but it bounced off his glove into short right

792
01:11:30,220 --> 01:11:33,340
and two runs scored to put the Reds in front three to two.

793
01:11:33,340 --> 01:11:35,580
Pat Zachary got the win.

794
01:11:35,580 --> 01:11:37,180
Second baseman Willie Randolph.

795
01:11:37,180 --> 01:11:38,660
Willie Randolph will be first up

796
01:11:38,660 --> 01:11:41,100
for the Yankees in the fourth inning.

797
01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:43,020
Yankees leading three to two.

798
01:11:43,020 --> 01:11:45,700
That was a very good effort

799
01:11:45,700 --> 01:11:47,300
by Greg Nettles on that foul ball.

800
01:11:47,300 --> 01:11:48,500
He never gave up on it.

801
01:11:48,500 --> 01:11:51,100
It didn't look as though he'd get to it in time.

802
01:11:51,100 --> 01:11:53,300
He was right by the railing almost into a stand

803
01:11:53,300 --> 01:11:55,020
and he just stuck out the glove and there it was

804
01:11:55,020 --> 01:11:57,740
and fell down and held onto the baseball.

805
01:11:58,900 --> 01:12:01,380
One of the good, one of the best fielding plays

806
01:12:01,380 --> 01:12:03,780
of this short series so far.

807
01:12:06,620 --> 01:12:08,580
There haven't been any screamers as yet.

808
01:12:09,620 --> 01:12:12,220
Randolph grounded into a double play his first time

809
01:12:12,220 --> 01:12:17,220
and takes ball one for Wallace Widdorf.

810
01:12:19,740 --> 01:12:21,140
Widdorf goes to work.

811
01:12:21,140 --> 01:12:22,100
He has the high kick.

812
01:12:22,100 --> 01:12:24,140
He gets the strike on the outside corner.

813
01:12:30,380 --> 01:12:33,820
Left-hander, winds and curves Randolph down low

814
01:12:33,820 --> 01:12:35,740
and inside ball two, two and one.

815
01:12:35,740 --> 01:12:40,740
And the appearance of a waxing moon I believe coming up.

816
01:12:42,860 --> 01:12:46,060
Over the horizon, gazing at it.

817
01:12:46,060 --> 01:12:47,620
Fly ball deep left field.

818
01:12:47,620 --> 01:12:48,900
Walford back.

819
01:12:48,900 --> 01:12:50,100
He has room.

820
01:12:50,100 --> 01:12:52,460
He's at the edge of the warning signs and he's got it.

821
01:12:52,460 --> 01:12:54,220
375 feet away.

822
01:12:55,140 --> 01:12:58,100
Randolph flies fairly deep to Jim Walford in left field.

823
01:12:59,100 --> 01:13:01,580
That ball hit well but it's just not very much

824
01:13:01,580 --> 01:13:04,140
as Walford's especially at night.

825
01:13:04,140 --> 01:13:07,860
That's what the players have complained about on all teams.

826
01:13:12,180 --> 01:13:13,340
Here's Fred Stanley.

827
01:13:14,220 --> 01:13:16,220
Widdorf pitches inside a ball.

828
01:13:17,460 --> 01:13:19,540
Stanley popped up the second in the second inning.

829
01:13:19,540 --> 01:13:22,020
The Yankees are leading here three-two.

830
01:13:22,020 --> 01:13:24,020
Out hitting the Royals seven to three.

831
01:13:24,020 --> 01:13:25,300
Widdorf works.

832
01:13:25,300 --> 01:13:27,420
Pass ball on the outside slice of the plate

833
01:13:27,420 --> 01:13:29,340
right on the black fur called strike.

834
01:13:29,340 --> 01:13:30,180
One and one.

835
01:13:30,180 --> 01:13:33,260
Widdorf came on to relieve starter Dennis Leonard.

836
01:13:33,260 --> 01:13:35,380
Gave up a hit and then gets two out.

837
01:13:35,380 --> 01:13:37,580
Little pop up to the right side in shallow right

838
01:13:37,580 --> 01:13:40,220
but back forward and they let it get behind him.

839
01:13:40,220 --> 01:13:41,060
He drain him.

840
01:13:41,060 --> 01:13:41,900
A base hit.

841
01:13:41,900 --> 01:13:42,980
A throw to second base.

842
01:13:42,980 --> 01:13:43,820
Not in time.

843
01:13:43,820 --> 01:13:44,660
It gets behind Patek.

844
01:13:44,660 --> 01:13:46,260
Backed up there.

845
01:13:46,260 --> 01:13:49,740
And it's another Yankee pop fly that falls in.

846
01:13:49,740 --> 01:13:52,340
As Frank White and Tom Polquette

847
01:13:52,340 --> 01:13:54,540
stop short of each other and allow the ball

848
01:13:54,540 --> 01:13:55,660
to hit in there.

849
01:13:55,660 --> 01:13:57,940
It took a high hop over Polquette's head

850
01:13:57,940 --> 01:14:01,260
and down the second on the gif went Stanley.

851
01:14:01,260 --> 01:14:05,780
Another rather incredible hit by the New York Yankees

852
01:14:05,780 --> 01:14:06,620
tonight.

853
01:14:06,620 --> 01:14:09,740
Badly played by Frank White and Tom Polquette.

854
01:14:09,740 --> 01:14:10,580
One or the other.

855
01:14:10,580 --> 01:14:12,140
Nobody yelled or something.

856
01:14:12,140 --> 01:14:13,940
White went back after.

857
01:14:13,940 --> 01:14:17,860
It was just a normal fly ball and could have been handled.

858
01:14:17,860 --> 01:14:19,860
But it dropped in between them.

859
01:14:19,860 --> 01:14:23,020
And it's a gif double to Fred Stanley.

860
01:14:23,020 --> 01:14:26,260
I'd have to guess then that it was Polquette's ball.

861
01:14:26,260 --> 01:14:27,980
And then he shot away.

862
01:14:27,980 --> 01:14:29,620
White's probably calling him off.

863
01:14:29,620 --> 01:14:32,580
Funny, it's Polquette's call and his ball, you're right.

864
01:14:32,580 --> 01:14:35,020
But he has the bead on it.

865
01:14:35,020 --> 01:14:38,420
White was very aggressive in going back after.

866
01:14:38,420 --> 01:14:40,780
But they just let it drop.

867
01:14:40,780 --> 01:14:41,620
No error charged.

868
01:14:41,620 --> 01:14:43,420
The curve ball is outside the river.

869
01:14:43,420 --> 01:14:44,260
It's ball one.

870
01:14:44,260 --> 01:14:47,180
Boy, the three doubles with the Royals,

871
01:14:47,180 --> 01:14:48,940
three of the four doubles with the Royals

872
01:14:48,940 --> 01:14:51,180
have been beauty.

873
01:14:51,180 --> 01:14:53,380
The only really legitimate one was Carlos May's

874
01:14:53,380 --> 01:14:54,220
shot to left feet.

875
01:14:54,220 --> 01:14:57,700
In the second.

876
01:14:57,700 --> 01:15:01,060
But the Yankees, they only get the breaks.

877
01:15:01,060 --> 01:15:04,260
So they make them and they also take advantage of them.

878
01:15:04,260 --> 01:15:05,500
Which is why they win.

879
01:15:05,500 --> 01:15:08,540
There is a pitch on the outside corner.

880
01:15:08,540 --> 01:15:12,620
But nope, it's all the ball.

881
01:15:12,620 --> 01:15:15,580
Rivers kind of poked the bat at it

882
01:15:15,580 --> 01:15:17,380
as if he were going to punch.

883
01:15:17,380 --> 01:15:19,700
They checked on him and you feel with third base umpire

884
01:15:19,700 --> 01:15:22,700
Art Frank at the behest of Martinez.

885
01:15:22,700 --> 01:15:25,300
But he said, nope, it's ball two.

886
01:15:25,300 --> 01:15:27,340
So the count is two and nothing to Rivers,

887
01:15:27,340 --> 01:15:30,620
who has walked and granted out.

888
01:15:30,620 --> 01:15:32,340
Yankees with another mild threat here.

889
01:15:32,340 --> 01:15:34,300
The pitch by Split are about side.

890
01:15:34,300 --> 01:15:36,060
Ball three.

891
01:15:36,060 --> 01:15:38,340
Three and nothing to Mickey Rivers.

892
01:15:38,340 --> 01:15:39,340
One out in this inning.

893
01:15:42,860 --> 01:15:45,820
And that out was a legitimately hard hit ball.

894
01:15:45,820 --> 01:15:46,620
Long fly ball.

895
01:15:46,620 --> 01:15:47,860
The rest by Willie Randolph.

896
01:15:47,860 --> 01:15:50,540
Eight hits now for New York.

897
01:15:50,540 --> 01:15:52,020
Here it is.

898
01:15:52,020 --> 01:15:54,540
Strike called at the letter.

899
01:15:54,540 --> 01:15:55,860
Three balls, one strike.

900
01:16:04,580 --> 01:16:06,260
Stanley at second went away.

901
01:16:06,260 --> 01:16:08,140
Rivers, the batter with a three one count.

902
01:16:08,140 --> 01:16:10,420
He tries to punch and fouls it off.

903
01:16:10,420 --> 01:16:14,060
Tries to drop it down the third baseline.

904
01:16:14,060 --> 01:16:15,940
So now it's three and two to make it.

905
01:16:15,940 --> 01:16:18,140
Roy White on deck.

906
01:16:18,140 --> 01:16:19,300
He's perfect on the night.

907
01:16:26,700 --> 01:16:30,900
Stanley does not take a hefty lead off second.

908
01:16:30,900 --> 01:16:32,900
Now he increases it.

909
01:16:32,900 --> 01:16:34,420
Little fly ball, center field.

910
01:16:34,420 --> 01:16:35,780
But Cowan is under this one.

911
01:16:35,780 --> 01:16:37,020
He one hands it.

912
01:16:37,020 --> 01:16:40,180
And Stanley gets back to second base.

913
01:16:40,180 --> 01:16:41,420
Rivers flies to center.

914
01:16:41,420 --> 01:16:42,780
They are two away.

915
01:16:42,780 --> 01:16:46,420
The left fielder, Roy White.

916
01:16:46,420 --> 01:16:48,420
And here is Roy White up.

917
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:50,940
He single to left in the first and doubled.

918
01:16:50,940 --> 01:16:52,940
Our top fly double to center in the third.

919
01:16:52,940 --> 01:16:54,660
It's a long run by Cowan.

920
01:16:54,660 --> 01:16:58,220
The ball fell in front of him.

921
01:16:58,220 --> 01:17:00,820
So the actives of the pad run at second base.

922
01:17:00,820 --> 01:17:02,020
Leading in the game already.

923
01:17:02,020 --> 01:17:03,060
Three to two.

924
01:17:03,060 --> 01:17:04,060
Have two outs.

925
01:17:04,060 --> 01:17:04,820
And White up.

926
01:17:04,820 --> 01:17:08,540
White turning around now to bat right handed against foul ball

927
01:17:08,540 --> 01:17:10,660
called split arc.

928
01:17:10,660 --> 01:17:11,940
Curve hangs outside.

929
01:17:11,940 --> 01:17:13,260
Ball one.

930
01:17:13,260 --> 01:17:15,260
White left handed against Leonard.

931
01:17:15,260 --> 01:17:19,220
It was perfect with the finger run double.

932
01:17:19,220 --> 01:17:21,660
He's a better left handed batter than White.

933
01:17:27,660 --> 01:17:29,660
And the ball is in the air.

934
01:17:29,660 --> 01:17:31,660
And the ball is in the air.

935
01:17:31,660 --> 01:17:38,460
But he did damage as a right hander yesterday.

936
01:17:38,460 --> 01:17:41,100
Doubling to left field and driving home two runs.

937
01:17:41,100 --> 01:17:42,500
The fastball tails outside.

938
01:17:46,500 --> 01:17:50,460
The left handed hitter this year, Roy,

939
01:17:50,460 --> 01:17:53,100
hits 320 as a right hander.

940
01:17:53,100 --> 01:17:54,820
248.

941
01:17:54,820 --> 01:17:59,700
His composite average is 286.

942
01:17:59,700 --> 01:18:02,260
Two and nothing they got to Roy White.

943
01:18:02,260 --> 01:18:03,500
Here it is.

944
01:18:03,500 --> 01:18:04,580
This is a breaking ball.

945
01:18:04,580 --> 01:18:05,340
It doesn't make it.

946
01:18:05,340 --> 01:18:06,060
Ball three.

947
01:18:10,340 --> 01:18:13,420
3 and 0 to White with Mr. Munson on deck.

948
01:18:17,060 --> 01:18:19,820
Yankees leading 3-2 if he just joins us here.

949
01:18:22,540 --> 01:18:23,380
Now the pitch.

950
01:18:23,380 --> 01:18:24,220
3 and 0.

951
01:18:24,220 --> 01:18:25,500
They let the field by.

952
01:18:25,500 --> 01:18:26,700
Did not have the green light.

953
01:18:26,700 --> 01:18:28,260
He takes the fastball for a strike.

954
01:18:28,260 --> 01:18:32,380
3 and 1.

955
01:18:32,380 --> 01:18:34,300
Split arc will throw the breaking pitch a lot.

956
01:18:34,300 --> 01:18:37,460
He has a good curveball.

957
01:18:37,460 --> 01:18:39,420
Won 19 games a couple of years ago.

958
01:18:44,660 --> 01:18:47,500
Drops to the belt.

959
01:18:47,500 --> 01:18:49,580
Throw loose and misses outside.

960
01:18:49,580 --> 01:18:51,100
Ball four.

961
01:18:51,100 --> 01:18:55,260
White gets on base for the third straight time.

962
01:18:55,260 --> 01:18:58,020
That's the first walk given up by split arc.

963
01:18:58,020 --> 01:19:00,700
And the third acquired by the Yankees

964
01:19:00,700 --> 01:19:04,420
against the pitching of the Royals.

965
01:19:04,420 --> 01:19:06,700
Thurman Munson has bounced into a double play

966
01:19:06,700 --> 01:19:09,220
and hit a pop fly double down along the right field line

967
01:19:09,220 --> 01:19:10,340
driving in a run.

968
01:19:10,340 --> 01:19:12,140
He's one for two.

969
01:19:12,140 --> 01:19:15,980
And he's two for seven on the series so far.

970
01:19:15,980 --> 01:19:21,220
Left handed action in the bullpen for the Royals.

971
01:19:21,220 --> 01:19:26,140
Steve Mingori there, ace from the left side.

972
01:19:26,140 --> 01:19:28,820
He has the slider and the good breaking stuff

973
01:19:28,820 --> 01:19:31,380
and keeps the ball down and can really

974
01:19:31,380 --> 01:19:34,540
be troubled on some left handed batters.

975
01:19:34,540 --> 01:19:37,180
I know that Carl Yosemstiel of Austin Red Sox

976
01:19:37,180 --> 01:19:40,220
has had trouble with him a lot in recent years.

977
01:19:43,300 --> 01:19:46,060
As a ground ball to shortstop taken by Patek.

978
01:19:46,060 --> 01:19:46,780
Flips to white.

979
01:19:46,780 --> 01:19:49,380
They've got the fourth for the final out.

980
01:19:49,380 --> 01:19:52,420
Munson forces white at second base.

981
01:19:52,420 --> 01:19:54,500
Patek to Frank White.

982
01:19:54,500 --> 01:19:57,460
No runs for the New York Yankees at the top of the fourth inning.

983
01:19:57,460 --> 01:20:00,380
They did get a hit and they leave one.

984
01:20:00,380 --> 01:20:02,500
They leave two as a matter of fact.

985
01:20:02,500 --> 01:20:04,780
And after four innings in the middle of the fourth inning

986
01:20:04,780 --> 01:20:09,300
was Gores Mill, the Yankees three and the Royals two.

987
01:20:09,300 --> 01:20:11,860
Taking a look at what happened in the National Football League

988
01:20:11,860 --> 01:20:14,380
in case you missed it earlier.

989
01:20:14,380 --> 01:20:16,740
The Baltimore Colts getting pinpoint passing

990
01:20:16,740 --> 01:20:20,220
from Burke Jones and stingy defense when it counted

991
01:20:20,220 --> 01:20:22,820
moved into first place in the AFC East

992
01:20:22,820 --> 01:20:26,260
with a 28 to 14 win over the Miami Dolphins.

993
01:20:26,260 --> 01:20:29,700
Burke Jones passing for one touchdown and running for another.

994
01:20:29,700 --> 01:20:34,060
And he completed 11 of 14 passes for 177 yards,

995
01:20:34,060 --> 01:20:36,660
including 10 completions in a row.

996
01:20:36,660 --> 01:20:40,780
Baltimore's Don McCauley scored twice on one yard plunges.

997
01:20:40,780 --> 01:20:44,020
The Colts took a 28 to seven lead early in the second half

998
01:20:44,020 --> 01:20:48,500
and held off a Miami rally led by 42 year old Earl Morrill

999
01:20:48,500 --> 01:20:51,140
who took over a quarterback late in the first half

1000
01:20:51,140 --> 01:20:54,140
when Bob Greasy complained of dizziness.

1001
01:20:54,140 --> 01:20:58,220
In late games open 27, San Diego 17,

1002
01:20:58,220 --> 01:21:02,100
said the St. Louis Cardinals 33 to 14 over Philadelphia,

1003
01:21:02,100 --> 01:21:05,580
Green Bay 27, Seattle 420,

1004
01:21:05,580 --> 01:21:07,820
and New Orleans 30 at line of nothing.

1005
01:21:10,660 --> 01:21:13,900
CBS radio sports is bringing you the play-by-play action

1006
01:21:13,900 --> 01:21:15,980
in the American League Championship.

1007
01:21:15,980 --> 01:21:17,060
And there's more to come.

1008
01:21:17,060 --> 01:21:20,820
The World Series starting October 16th at next Saturday.

1009
01:21:20,820 --> 01:21:24,100
And you'll hear exclusive radio coverage play-by-play

1010
01:21:24,100 --> 01:21:27,060
of the 1976 World Series right here

1011
01:21:27,060 --> 01:21:29,300
on this CBS radio network station.

1012
01:21:34,260 --> 01:21:35,780
Going to the bottom of the fourth inning,

1013
01:21:35,780 --> 01:21:38,020
The Royals trail by a run.

1014
01:21:40,620 --> 01:21:41,980
They have two runs of three hits.

1015
01:21:41,980 --> 01:21:44,540
The Yankees have three runs, eight hits in one era.

1016
01:21:44,540 --> 01:21:49,540
And Hal McCray will be first up against Ed Figueroa.

1017
01:21:50,020 --> 01:21:52,380
The designated hitter, Hal McCray.

1018
01:21:52,380 --> 01:21:53,820
McCray, the designated hitter,

1019
01:21:53,820 --> 01:21:55,420
drew a walk in the first inning

1020
01:21:57,060 --> 01:21:58,900
looking for his first series hit.

1021
01:22:00,980 --> 01:22:02,580
McCray, Poquette, and White.

1022
01:22:10,980 --> 01:22:13,140
Figueroa, right hand is his first pitch in

1023
01:22:13,140 --> 01:22:15,100
and spilled foul off to the right side

1024
01:22:15,100 --> 01:22:16,780
toward the mezzanine deck here.

1025
01:22:16,780 --> 01:22:17,620
One strike.

1026
01:22:24,620 --> 01:22:26,580
That field about straight away on McCray,

1027
01:22:26,580 --> 01:22:29,380
although Mickey Rivers moves a step toward right center.

1028
01:22:30,700 --> 01:22:31,820
They don't gap it anywhere.

1029
01:22:31,820 --> 01:22:34,020
They bunch him up more toward center field.

1030
01:22:35,940 --> 01:22:38,340
And they give him a lot of the left field line.

1031
01:22:38,340 --> 01:22:43,340
McCray, Figueroa, throws and misses low and away.

1032
01:22:45,700 --> 01:22:46,820
One ball, one strike.

1033
01:22:51,860 --> 01:22:54,500
And the charge being founded at Royal Stadium.

1034
01:22:55,700 --> 01:22:57,460
McCray bent over from the waste.

1035
01:22:58,340 --> 01:23:00,260
Pitch two in, misses outside and low.

1036
01:23:00,260 --> 01:23:10,740
Ball two, two and one.

1037
01:23:10,740 --> 01:23:12,780
Two one catch here, Hal.

1038
01:23:12,780 --> 01:23:15,180
Figueroa, throws, strike call,

1039
01:23:15,180 --> 01:23:17,300
picks up the outside corner at the knees.

1040
01:23:17,300 --> 01:23:18,140
Good pitch.

1041
01:23:20,180 --> 01:23:23,580
Rivers now moves more over toward right center field.

1042
01:23:25,220 --> 01:23:26,460
We're in the bottom of the fourth inning.

1043
01:23:26,460 --> 01:23:31,460
The Yankees leading the Royals three to two.

1044
01:23:31,660 --> 01:23:33,580
And the pitch is waved at and missed

1045
01:23:33,580 --> 01:23:35,420
and McCray is out of it.

1046
01:23:37,220 --> 01:23:40,580
A slider by Figueroa gets Hal McCray swinging

1047
01:23:40,580 --> 01:23:43,580
and that's the first strikeout for the Yankee right-hander.

1048
01:23:45,940 --> 01:23:46,780
Tom Pocet.

1049
01:23:48,540 --> 01:23:50,380
Singled in a run in the first inning,

1050
01:23:50,380 --> 01:23:52,380
bouncing a ground ball into right field.

1051
01:23:52,380 --> 01:23:55,700
Two two, two two two two two two two.

1052
01:23:55,700 --> 01:23:57,300
One of the three Royals hits.

1053
01:23:57,300 --> 01:23:59,700
They score their two runs in the first inning.

1054
01:24:01,540 --> 01:24:04,020
Three hits on a walk, sacrifice fly.

1055
01:24:05,100 --> 01:24:06,580
Strike call from Figueroa

1056
01:24:06,580 --> 01:24:08,700
who is pitching machine-like right now.

1057
01:24:11,020 --> 01:24:12,900
Yankees came back with a run in the second

1058
01:24:12,900 --> 01:24:15,060
and went ahead with two runs in the third.

1059
01:24:18,500 --> 01:24:20,500
The one strike delivery.

1060
01:24:20,500 --> 01:24:22,820
Misses outside a fastball.

1061
01:24:22,820 --> 01:24:24,100
One ball, one strike.

1062
01:24:24,100 --> 01:24:29,100
Two two two two two two two two two two two two.

1063
01:24:29,100 --> 01:24:29,940
Tom Pocet.

1064
01:24:33,900 --> 01:24:35,540
Base is clear, one out.

1065
01:24:37,460 --> 01:24:38,860
Foul ball out of play.

1066
01:24:38,860 --> 01:24:39,700
Doctor, 15-22.

1067
01:24:39,700 --> 01:24:41,100
And it's one ball, two strikes.

1068
01:24:41,100 --> 01:24:41,940
Four and three.

1069
01:24:41,940 --> 01:24:42,780
Service.

1070
01:24:42,780 --> 01:24:43,600
Doctor.

1071
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:45,500
15-22, call your entering service.

1072
01:24:45,500 --> 01:24:47,460
Teams go at it in New York City.

1073
01:24:47,460 --> 01:24:51,860
8.15 Eastern Daylight Time Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.

1074
01:24:53,340 --> 01:24:56,420
Andy Hasler for the Royals.

1075
01:24:56,420 --> 01:24:58,140
Doc Ellis for the New York Yankees.

1076
01:25:01,660 --> 01:25:03,460
A ball and two strikes to Pocet.

1077
01:25:05,460 --> 01:25:06,700
Here it is.

1078
01:25:06,700 --> 01:25:07,660
It's way up high.

1079
01:25:07,660 --> 01:25:18,660
Ball two, two and two.

1080
01:25:18,660 --> 01:25:20,660
Pocet bends decidedly.

1081
01:25:20,660 --> 01:25:25,300
The real crouching type of hitter.

1082
01:25:26,860 --> 01:25:30,060
Fouls just went off his hand back through the screen.

1083
01:25:30,060 --> 01:25:30,900
Two and two.

1084
01:25:30,900 --> 01:25:35,900
Big Oroa in search of what will be his 20th of the year,

1085
01:25:38,380 --> 01:25:40,900
but of course it will not be considered

1086
01:25:40,900 --> 01:25:44,620
in the regular season as a 20 game season for any 119.

1087
01:25:49,180 --> 01:25:50,540
Now the two two offering.

1088
01:25:51,460 --> 01:25:54,180
And he lines the short center field coming on rivers

1089
01:25:54,180 --> 01:25:56,660
and he makes the grab on his knees.

1090
01:25:56,660 --> 01:25:58,620
Mickey Rivers stumbles to the target's earth

1091
01:25:58,620 --> 01:26:02,020
but holds onto the sinking line drive for out number two.

1092
01:26:02,020 --> 01:26:05,220
Pocet hit the ball well, but Mickey Rivers is right there.

1093
01:26:06,860 --> 01:26:09,980
Two up and down in the fourth and Frank White is up.

1094
01:26:11,340 --> 01:26:13,860
Royals second baseman grounded the third in the first inning

1095
01:26:13,860 --> 01:26:16,260
ending that frame after the two runs that scored.

1096
01:26:17,660 --> 01:26:18,660
Right handed batter.

1097
01:26:21,340 --> 01:26:23,260
Big Oroa just moving on and on.

1098
01:26:24,820 --> 01:26:26,140
Like Tennyson's book.

1099
01:26:26,140 --> 01:26:28,500
Here's the pitch and there's a swing and a foul

1100
01:26:28,500 --> 01:26:29,340
at the plate.

1101
01:26:31,020 --> 01:26:31,980
Nothing in one.

1102
01:26:32,820 --> 01:26:36,060
Rivers pulls over more toward right center on White

1103
01:26:36,060 --> 01:26:38,580
and he had to floor on the right handed batter.

1104
01:26:44,860 --> 01:26:46,980
Big Oroa is getting tougher as he goes along

1105
01:26:46,980 --> 01:26:49,540
and he throws high and tight.

1106
01:26:49,540 --> 01:26:50,740
One ball, one strike.

1107
01:26:54,260 --> 01:26:57,300
A huge message board and scoreboard in center field

1108
01:26:57,300 --> 01:26:59,860
in the form of a home plate and a Kings crown.

1109
01:26:59,860 --> 01:27:01,180
Here's a foul back our way.

1110
01:27:01,180 --> 01:27:02,180
Hey, watch it, Ernie.

1111
01:27:03,180 --> 01:27:04,020
Not quite.

1112
01:27:05,140 --> 01:27:07,140
Hey, you have to pull a pretty major league foul ball

1113
01:27:07,140 --> 01:27:08,780
to get it back up here, don't you, in this part?

1114
01:27:08,780 --> 01:27:10,060
Sure do, we're way back.

1115
01:27:12,100 --> 01:27:13,780
One ball, two strikes to White.

1116
01:27:16,140 --> 01:27:18,060
And on the message board they have everything about the

1117
01:27:18,060 --> 01:27:21,140
batter as he comes up his average with some career

1118
01:27:21,140 --> 01:27:22,820
remarks about him.

1119
01:27:22,820 --> 01:27:24,220
First of all, strike count.

1120
01:27:24,220 --> 01:27:28,740
The line score, very informative and very clear.

1121
01:27:28,740 --> 01:27:31,180
The pitch is outside and the count is two and two.

1122
01:27:32,300 --> 01:27:35,900
And below that is the bank of grass and the surrounding

1123
01:27:35,900 --> 01:27:36,900
at the waterfalls.

1124
01:27:37,820 --> 01:27:40,940
Just some advertising signs and a bigger bank

1125
01:27:40,940 --> 01:27:42,460
in left field.

1126
01:27:42,460 --> 01:27:44,860
There's ball three outside, three and two.

1127
01:27:46,700 --> 01:27:51,300
Flagpole is in left field by the visitors bullpen

1128
01:27:51,300 --> 01:27:55,100
and the wind is blowing that flag now from first

1129
01:27:55,100 --> 01:27:57,100
towards third, from the right field foul pole

1130
01:27:57,100 --> 01:27:58,860
towards the left field foul pole.

1131
01:27:58,860 --> 01:28:01,660
Towards left, where ball could be helped a little bit maybe.

1132
01:28:03,380 --> 01:28:06,100
The banks continue past the parking lot over left field

1133
01:28:06,100 --> 01:28:09,700
and up towards the expressway and other highway

1134
01:28:09,700 --> 01:28:11,020
leading to St. Louis.

1135
01:28:11,020 --> 01:28:14,020
Strike three call, White is out.

1136
01:28:14,020 --> 01:28:16,900
And again, a big inning for Ed Figaro.

1137
01:28:16,900 --> 01:28:19,540
He gets the Royals in order, he has now retired

1138
01:28:19,540 --> 01:28:22,380
and in a row gets his second strikeout.

1139
01:28:22,380 --> 01:28:25,100
Nothing across and at the end of the fourth inning

1140
01:28:25,100 --> 01:28:27,300
it's the Yankees three, the Royals two.

1141
01:28:28,300 --> 01:28:32,500
Donnie Allison easily won the 17th annual National 500

1142
01:28:32,500 --> 01:28:35,020
stock car race at Charlotte, North Carolina.

1143
01:28:35,020 --> 01:28:37,420
That was Allison's first grand national victory

1144
01:28:37,420 --> 01:28:38,740
in five years.

1145
01:28:38,740 --> 01:28:41,300
He roared under the checkered flag at Charlotte,

1146
01:28:41,300 --> 01:28:43,820
12 seconds ahead of Cale Yarborough.

1147
01:28:43,820 --> 01:28:47,180
Allison's brother, Bobby, pushed in front of Buddy Baker

1148
01:28:47,180 --> 01:28:49,340
a few feet from the finish line to take third

1149
01:28:49,340 --> 01:28:51,140
by less than a hood length.

1150
01:28:51,140 --> 01:28:54,820
Benny Parsons was fifth, a full lap behind the winner.

1151
01:28:54,820 --> 01:28:58,900
Allison averaged a bit over 141 miles an hour.

1152
01:28:58,900 --> 01:29:01,740
At Watson's Glen, England's James Hunt

1153
01:29:01,740 --> 01:29:04,140
captured the United States Grand Prix

1154
01:29:04,140 --> 01:29:07,300
and the finished head of South Africa's Jody Schuchter

1155
01:29:07,300 --> 01:29:10,300
and defending world driving champion, Mickey Lauda.

1156
01:29:10,300 --> 01:29:12,500
The win cut Lauda's lead on the Formula One

1157
01:29:12,500 --> 01:29:15,220
driving championship circuit to three points

1158
01:29:15,220 --> 01:29:17,260
with only the Japanese Grand Prix

1159
01:29:17,260 --> 01:29:19,780
remaining later this month.

1160
01:29:19,780 --> 01:29:22,060
Pittsburgh Cedar quarterback, Terry Bradshaw,

1161
01:29:22,060 --> 01:29:25,140
was injured and taken from the field on a stretcher

1162
01:29:25,140 --> 01:29:27,420
in the fourth quarter of that Brown Cedars game.

1163
01:29:27,420 --> 01:29:29,900
No report on the condition of his injury.

1164
01:29:31,580 --> 01:29:35,140
The Yankees coming to bat in the top of the fifth inning.

1165
01:29:35,140 --> 01:29:37,700
They are leading the Kansas City Royals three to two,

1166
01:29:37,700 --> 01:29:42,060
getting a run in the second inning and two in the third.

1167
01:29:42,060 --> 01:29:44,500
In the second inning, they had a double from May,

1168
01:29:44,500 --> 01:29:47,380
a walk to the nettles and a single by Gamble.

1169
01:29:47,380 --> 01:29:48,980
They got two runs in the third inning.

1170
01:29:48,980 --> 01:29:51,700
When with one out, White doubled the center,

1171
01:29:51,700 --> 01:29:53,420
Munson doubled him home,

1172
01:29:53,420 --> 01:29:56,060
Shambles swingled Munson home,

1173
01:29:56,060 --> 01:29:58,020
and there were two runs there.

1174
01:29:58,020 --> 01:30:01,060
The Royals got two runs in the first inning on three hits

1175
01:30:01,060 --> 01:30:03,460
and a walk along with a sacrifice fly

1176
01:30:03,460 --> 01:30:05,060
and a throwing error by Munson.

1177
01:30:07,300 --> 01:30:09,100
Yankees try to make it two in a row

1178
01:30:10,860 --> 01:30:14,060
to duplicate the ax put on by the Cincinnati Reds

1179
01:30:14,060 --> 01:30:16,380
in the National League today as they beat Philadelphia six

1180
01:30:16,380 --> 01:30:17,380
to two.

1181
01:30:17,380 --> 01:30:20,900
Chris Shambles up a curve is knocked over by Paul Squidor

1182
01:30:20,900 --> 01:30:22,220
for a ball one.

1183
01:30:22,220 --> 01:30:23,660
It's over the plate but low.

1184
01:30:26,900 --> 01:30:27,940
The one-oh delivery.

1185
01:30:29,100 --> 01:30:30,900
Low enough, one-two.

1186
01:30:34,900 --> 01:30:36,260
Shambles, the left-handed batter,

1187
01:30:36,260 --> 01:30:38,060
but they do not blame the pull.

1188
01:30:40,660 --> 01:30:42,700
Strike calls, especially with the left-hander going

1189
01:30:42,700 --> 01:30:44,100
against him, they have the right fielder,

1190
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:46,300
Fokette way over in the right center field.

1191
01:30:47,700 --> 01:30:50,380
Collins is five, six steps toward left center.

1192
01:30:50,380 --> 01:30:52,740
They punch up left center field, the gap there.

1193
01:30:53,620 --> 01:30:55,060
Ground foul to the left.

1194
01:30:56,540 --> 01:30:58,700
Two balls, two strikes to Chris Shambles

1195
01:31:00,660 --> 01:31:02,740
who hit one of the crushing blows of many

1196
01:31:02,740 --> 01:31:06,140
that put the defending champions of the American League,

1197
01:31:06,140 --> 01:31:08,940
The Reds, knocked out of business this year.

1198
01:31:08,940 --> 01:31:11,180
Shambles did a home run in the ninth inning,

1199
01:31:11,180 --> 01:31:13,620
a game-winning home run against the Red Sox in July

1200
01:31:13,620 --> 01:31:15,420
at Yankee Stadium that about did it.

1201
01:31:15,420 --> 01:31:18,900
Ground ball the first, picked up by Mayberry

1202
01:31:18,900 --> 01:31:21,740
and he steps on the bag alone to beat Shambles.

1203
01:31:24,940 --> 01:31:26,980
Shambles grounds out to John Mayberry

1204
01:31:26,980 --> 01:31:29,540
and Mayberry is up.

1205
01:31:29,540 --> 01:31:31,140
Collins is perfect on the night.

1206
01:31:31,140 --> 01:31:33,780
He doubles to left and scored and he singled to right.

1207
01:31:33,780 --> 01:31:39,700
Two for two in this series.

1208
01:31:53,700 --> 01:31:55,540
And May is up.

1209
01:31:55,540 --> 01:31:57,020
Collins is perfect on the night.

1210
01:31:57,020 --> 01:31:59,660
He doubles to left and scored and he singled to right.

1211
01:31:59,660 --> 01:32:03,300
Two for two in this series.

1212
01:32:05,700 --> 01:32:06,780
To the eighth tonight.

1213
01:32:09,300 --> 01:32:11,140
Billy Martin, a head-by-run,

1214
01:32:11,140 --> 01:32:13,340
still leaving his left-handed platoon in there

1215
01:32:13,340 --> 01:32:16,420
with Paul Swidorf, foul-pointed on relief

1216
01:32:16,420 --> 01:32:18,860
of the right-hander starter, Dennis Leonard.

1217
01:32:18,860 --> 01:32:20,060
Pitch is low, ball one.

1218
01:32:20,060 --> 01:32:23,060
Fast ball high, ball two.

1219
01:32:23,060 --> 01:32:27,060
May was acquired in the months of May by the Yankees.

1220
01:32:27,060 --> 01:32:30,060
As the Yankee hit 279, he wasn't doing much

1221
01:32:30,060 --> 01:32:33,060
for the White Sox, they had not been using him.

1222
01:32:33,060 --> 01:32:37,060
Frank Collins steps nicely across the outside corner

1223
01:32:37,060 --> 01:32:39,060
by Paul Swidorf.

1224
01:32:39,060 --> 01:32:40,060
Two and one.

1225
01:32:40,060 --> 01:32:42,060
And the Yankees are up.

1226
01:32:42,060 --> 01:32:43,060
They're up.

1227
01:32:43,060 --> 01:32:44,060
They're up.

1228
01:32:44,060 --> 01:32:45,060
They're up.

1229
01:32:45,060 --> 01:32:46,060
They're up.

1230
01:32:46,060 --> 01:32:47,060
They're up.

1231
01:32:47,060 --> 01:32:50,060
Two and one.

1232
01:32:50,060 --> 01:32:54,060
Yankees three, Royals two, top of inning number five.

1233
01:32:54,060 --> 01:32:57,060
Blank and a miss, strike two.

1234
01:32:57,060 --> 01:33:00,060
Big sweep by May.

1235
01:33:00,060 --> 01:33:02,060
Two balls, two strikes.

1236
01:33:05,060 --> 01:33:07,060
Carlos came to the Yankees a bit overweight.

1237
01:33:07,060 --> 01:33:10,060
He is a husky individual anyway, kind of hefty,

1238
01:33:10,060 --> 01:33:14,060
but he needed to take off about 10 pounds, and he did.

1239
01:33:14,060 --> 01:33:19,060
The inactivity over in Chicago has put them on,

1240
01:33:19,060 --> 01:33:24,060
and he worked hard to get into fighting them again.

1241
01:33:24,060 --> 01:33:26,060
Count two and two on it.

1242
01:33:26,060 --> 01:33:31,060
Swidorf kicks and throws, and he misses low outside, ball three.

1243
01:33:31,060 --> 01:33:35,060
I believe Martinez thought they should have had that call.

1244
01:33:35,060 --> 01:33:37,060
Three balls, two strikes.

1245
01:33:37,060 --> 01:33:38,060
One out.

1246
01:33:38,060 --> 01:33:42,060
Yankees leading three-two as they bat in the fifth.

1247
01:33:42,060 --> 01:33:43,060
Here it is.

1248
01:33:43,060 --> 01:33:47,060
Foul out of the glove of Martinez, three and two.

1249
01:33:52,060 --> 01:33:55,060
Dennis Leonard started for the Royals

1250
01:33:55,060 --> 01:33:58,060
and left under fire in the third inning.

1251
01:33:58,060 --> 01:34:02,060
Bigger row after a rocky first inning has been letter perfect.

1252
01:34:04,060 --> 01:34:06,060
They're firing 10 batters in a row.

1253
01:34:07,060 --> 01:34:08,060
Three-two pitch.

1254
01:34:08,060 --> 01:34:10,060
Strike three, swinging.

1255
01:34:10,060 --> 01:34:13,060
Mays out, they're two away.

1256
01:34:14,060 --> 01:34:19,060
First strikeout for Swidorf and for Kansas City, Michigan.

1257
01:34:23,060 --> 01:34:25,060
Now here's Nettles.

1258
01:34:25,060 --> 01:34:28,060
Greg is the walk and fly out.

1259
01:34:28,060 --> 01:34:30,060
Over one.

1260
01:34:33,060 --> 01:34:35,060
They do play him to full.

1261
01:34:36,060 --> 01:34:38,060
Fast ball outside to end ball one.

1262
01:34:38,060 --> 01:34:42,060
They do not overshift on him as they did with the right-hander Leonard in there,

1263
01:34:42,060 --> 01:34:45,060
but they do still move him around a bit.

1264
01:34:45,060 --> 01:34:47,060
Potec shading second base.

1265
01:34:47,060 --> 01:34:51,060
It's low to Nettles, ball two, two and nothing.

1266
01:34:54,060 --> 01:34:57,060
Greg is an uppercut kind of swinger.

1267
01:34:58,060 --> 01:35:01,060
Thirty-two home runs this year.

1268
01:35:01,060 --> 01:35:07,060
A wave on the breaking pitch, and the count is two and one.

1269
01:35:10,060 --> 01:35:16,060
Blast Yankee to win an American League home run title to a fellow named Maris in 1961.

1270
01:35:17,060 --> 01:35:19,060
Line drive, right field.

1271
01:35:19,060 --> 01:35:22,060
They sit, dropped in there, rolling toward the wall,

1272
01:35:22,060 --> 01:35:24,060
being played carefully out there by Phouquet,

1273
01:35:24,060 --> 01:35:27,060
and an easy stand-up double for Greg Nettles.

1274
01:35:28,060 --> 01:35:30,060
There was a real double.

1275
01:35:30,060 --> 01:35:32,060
A shot down the right field line.

1276
01:35:32,060 --> 01:35:34,060
Two-out double by Nettles.

1277
01:35:34,060 --> 01:35:36,060
For the ninth Yankee hit.

1278
01:35:36,060 --> 01:35:39,060
That's the third off Splitarm.

1279
01:35:40,060 --> 01:35:45,060
The Yankees with a runner in scoring position in two-outs, and Oscar Gamble up.

1280
01:35:46,060 --> 01:35:52,060
Singled home a run, his first dial-up, in the second inning, and then flat out in the third.

1281
01:35:52,060 --> 01:35:58,060
Yankees leading by a run, trying to get another one.

1282
01:36:02,060 --> 01:36:04,060
Nettles moves off the bag at second.

1283
01:36:04,060 --> 01:36:08,060
Potek is tucked in behind him, deep, of course, shading second base.

1284
01:36:08,060 --> 01:36:10,060
Gamble, a pull hit it up there.

1285
01:36:10,060 --> 01:36:12,060
There's a foul back.

1286
01:36:12,060 --> 01:36:16,060
Pitchers will try to work Gamble outside and make him go to left.

1287
01:36:16,060 --> 01:36:22,060
He likes the ball on the inner half of the plate, and he is definitely a pull type hitter.

1288
01:36:22,060 --> 01:36:25,060
They'll throw him away most of the time.

1289
01:36:29,060 --> 01:36:31,060
One strike to it.

1290
01:36:31,060 --> 01:36:33,060
Here's Splitarm's pitch.

1291
01:36:33,060 --> 01:36:36,060
Outside, a fast ball, one ball, one strike.

1292
01:36:36,060 --> 01:36:47,060
Black, white, the second baseman, way back, past that outside line.

1293
01:36:47,060 --> 01:36:52,060
Pitch on an ordinary diamond might signify the skinned part of the infield.

1294
01:36:52,060 --> 01:36:55,060
Fly ball, left field.

1295
01:36:55,060 --> 01:36:57,060
Under it, Jim Wolford.

1296
01:36:57,060 --> 01:36:59,060
Waiting. He has got it.

1297
01:36:59,060 --> 01:37:02,060
And that's all for the Yankees in the fifth inning.

1298
01:37:02,060 --> 01:37:04,060
No runs, one hit.

1299
01:37:04,060 --> 01:37:06,060
They leave one.

1300
01:37:06,060 --> 01:37:08,060
And halfway through the ball game,

1301
01:37:08,060 --> 01:37:12,060
in the middle of the fifth inning, the score of the Yankees three and the Royals two.

1302
01:37:12,060 --> 01:37:15,060
The Royal's official scoreboard-yiddle combination.

1303
01:37:15,060 --> 01:37:19,060
So the Yankees are using pitching tonight after the first inning.

1304
01:37:19,060 --> 01:37:21,060
Ruslan Foy at Biggeraw.

1305
01:37:21,060 --> 01:37:25,060
He has settled down and has put the ball where he wanted it for the most part.

1306
01:37:25,060 --> 01:37:28,060
He's not an overpowering type of pitcher anyway.

1307
01:37:28,060 --> 01:37:31,060
A new batonist, 35, 1976 season.

1308
01:37:31,060 --> 01:37:34,060
He's shown what kind of pitcher he is.

1309
01:37:34,060 --> 01:37:39,060
A very deceptive pitcher who hides the ball well, keeps the ball down, and induces ground balls.

1310
01:37:39,060 --> 01:37:43,060
He won't strike out a lot of people, but he'll do it when he needed it.

1311
01:37:43,060 --> 01:37:45,060
And he is fan, too, so far.

1312
01:37:45,060 --> 01:37:52,060
And the Yankees are really the outstanding pitcher for New York in their drive to the American League East this year.

1313
01:37:52,060 --> 01:37:58,060
Just about the stopper after a disappointing, in some respects, year for Catfish Hunter.

1314
01:37:58,060 --> 01:38:02,060
Although Catfish shows the money-picker he was yesterday.

1315
01:38:02,060 --> 01:38:06,060
And the Royals are facing a fellow like Biggeraw.

1316
01:38:06,060 --> 01:38:10,060
We'll have to, we'll have the work cut out for him because he seems to be getting better now.

1317
01:38:10,060 --> 01:38:13,060
And is riding along very nicely, although it's just a one-run lead.

1318
01:38:13,060 --> 01:38:15,060
We'll see.

1319
01:38:21,060 --> 01:38:23,060
It's all through four and one-half minutes.

1320
01:38:23,060 --> 01:38:24,060
The totals read like this.

1321
01:38:24,060 --> 01:38:28,060
The Yankees have three runs, nine hits, one error.

1322
01:38:28,060 --> 01:38:31,060
And they have had people on base all over the place.

1323
01:38:31,060 --> 01:38:35,060
They have left a total of six, but they've gotten the three runs to put them out in front.

1324
01:38:35,060 --> 01:38:41,060
The Kansas City Royals, two runs, only three hits, and they got all of those three hits in the first inning on Biggeraw.

1325
01:38:41,060 --> 01:38:44,060
They've made no errors, and they have stranded two.

1326
01:38:44,060 --> 01:38:49,060
And the two that they have stranded look very big right now because they trailed by a run.

1327
01:38:49,060 --> 01:38:54,060
So the Royals come to bat in the fifth inning with Freddie Potek heading it off for them

1328
01:38:54,060 --> 01:38:59,060
and heading it off for CBS Radio right now and carrying it through the second half of the game.

1329
01:38:59,060 --> 01:39:02,060
The boys for the Detroit Tigers, Ernie Harwell.

1330
01:39:02,060 --> 01:39:06,060
Thank you, Ned Martin and, hi again, everybody, Freddie Potek.

1331
01:39:06,060 --> 01:39:10,060
We'll try to break that string that Biggeraw has now.

1332
01:39:10,060 --> 01:39:14,060
He's set down the last ten Royals in order.

1333
01:39:14,060 --> 01:39:16,060
Potek with a fly ball to the center field of the river.

1334
01:39:16,060 --> 01:39:17,060
His first time is back.

1335
01:39:17,060 --> 01:39:21,060
Three to two, the Yankees lead, last half of the fifth inning.

1336
01:39:21,060 --> 01:39:26,060
And it's a fast ball outside, high and away from the right-hander at Biggeraw.

1337
01:39:26,060 --> 01:39:29,060
...

1338
01:39:29,060 --> 01:39:33,060
Nettles a little bit back at third base and wide of the bag.

1339
01:39:33,060 --> 01:39:35,060
The other endfielders are back.

1340
01:39:35,060 --> 01:39:37,060
Potek, right-hand batter, takes the strike.

1341
01:39:37,060 --> 01:39:41,060
He started the bat and took it on the inside corner, one and one to count on Fred.

1342
01:39:41,060 --> 01:39:44,060
He's claiming that the pitch is high.

1343
01:39:44,060 --> 01:39:47,060
...

1344
01:39:47,060 --> 01:39:50,060
We've had very few disputes in these two games so far.

1345
01:39:50,060 --> 01:39:53,060
...

1346
01:39:53,060 --> 01:39:56,060
Now Fred steps away from the batter's box.

1347
01:39:56,060 --> 01:39:58,060
He is a very difficult strike zone.

1348
01:39:58,060 --> 01:40:00,060
He is, you're not kidding.

1349
01:40:00,060 --> 01:40:05,060
...

1350
01:40:05,060 --> 01:40:10,060
Now Biggeraw gets his sign, goes into action, the pitch, swung on, fly ball to the field.

1351
01:40:10,060 --> 01:40:14,060
The batter is going back, he'll have room, he's there, he makes the catch.

1352
01:40:14,060 --> 01:40:18,060
...

1353
01:40:18,060 --> 01:40:21,060
Catcher Martinez will be the next batter.

1354
01:40:21,060 --> 01:40:22,060
...

1355
01:40:22,060 --> 01:40:26,060
Incidentally, the Yankees averaged more than seven runs per game over their last six games of the regular season.

1356
01:40:26,060 --> 01:40:28,060
They won five out of six.

1357
01:40:28,060 --> 01:40:33,060
And the Royals averaged only two runs per game over that same period.

1358
01:40:33,060 --> 01:40:36,060
And they won one and lost five.

1359
01:40:36,060 --> 01:40:39,060
And they came into this championship series.

1360
01:40:39,060 --> 01:40:42,060
Here's the right hand batting Martinez, the flake.

1361
01:40:42,060 --> 01:40:45,060
He batted 228 for the season.

1362
01:40:45,060 --> 01:40:49,060
...

1363
01:40:49,060 --> 01:40:54,060
Biggeraw delivers, and it's a breaking ball over, strike call.

1364
01:40:54,060 --> 01:40:57,060
Yesterday Martinez went over two.

1365
01:40:57,060 --> 01:41:01,060
...

1366
01:41:01,060 --> 01:41:05,060
Yankees, three runs, nine hitsThe Royals, two runs and three hits.

1367
01:41:05,060 --> 01:41:09,060
One out in the last half of inning number five, and the bases are empty.

1368
01:41:09,060 --> 01:41:12,060
Biggeraw goes to work again.

1369
01:41:12,060 --> 01:41:15,060
The rib is a wide one, and they count even one and one.

1370
01:41:15,060 --> 01:41:18,060
...

1371
01:41:18,060 --> 01:41:21,060
A little bit of a different outfield alignment for Billy Martin in this game.

1372
01:41:21,060 --> 01:41:23,060
...

1373
01:41:23,060 --> 01:41:28,060
In contrast to the one yesterday, it's wide in left, rib is instead of it, gamble is in right field.

1374
01:41:28,060 --> 01:41:29,060
...

1375
01:41:29,060 --> 01:41:32,060
Here's a ball high, a breaking ball.

1376
01:41:32,060 --> 01:41:34,060
...

1377
01:41:34,060 --> 01:41:41,060
Biggeraw and trouble in the opening inning. It looks as if the Royals might knock him off the mound, but he's settled down.

1378
01:41:41,060 --> 01:41:44,060
And nobody's been on base since that first inning.

1379
01:41:44,060 --> 01:41:46,060
...

1380
01:41:46,060 --> 01:41:50,060
He got a white to end the inning on a ground ball to third.

1381
01:41:50,060 --> 01:41:53,060
And from then on everybody's gone down in order.

1382
01:41:53,060 --> 01:41:57,060
The pitch is swung on and bowled away, back to the on deck circle.

1383
01:41:57,060 --> 01:41:59,060
Two-two on Martinez.

1384
01:41:59,060 --> 01:42:03,060
...

1385
01:42:03,060 --> 01:42:08,060
Cincinnati meets Philadelphia today.

1386
01:42:08,060 --> 01:42:12,060
Six to two, the Reds lead in their series, two games to none.

1387
01:42:12,060 --> 01:42:14,060
...

1388
01:42:14,060 --> 01:42:18,060
Yankees lead in this series, one game to none.

1389
01:42:18,060 --> 01:42:22,060
Now the two-two pitch on the way. Here it is, he takes the high one.

1390
01:42:22,060 --> 01:42:25,060
...

1391
01:42:25,060 --> 01:42:27,060
Old count on Martinez.

1392
01:42:27,060 --> 01:42:30,060
...

1393
01:42:30,060 --> 01:42:34,060
...

1394
01:42:34,060 --> 01:42:40,060
There'll be no game in this series tomorrow, action will be resumed in New York Tuesday night.

1395
01:42:40,060 --> 01:42:44,060
...

1396
01:42:44,060 --> 01:42:52,060
And the pitchers have been announced for that Tuesday night contest, Doc Ellis for the Yankees, and the Hassler will pitch for Kansas City.

1397
01:42:52,060 --> 01:42:59,060
Now the full count delivery. He swings, five-all, hit into right field, fairly deep, gamble goes back, he's there, he's waiting.

1398
01:42:59,060 --> 01:43:02,060
He has it and there are two down.

1399
01:43:02,060 --> 01:43:08,060
Let's pause ten seconds for station identification. This is the CBS radio network.

1400
01:43:08,060 --> 01:43:13,060
This is the American Forces radio and television service.

1401
01:43:13,060 --> 01:43:23,060
...

1402
01:43:23,060 --> 01:43:30,060
Yankees ahead three to two, nobody on the bases, Figaro delivers, and the right-hand batting outfield, it takes the curve wide.

1403
01:43:30,060 --> 01:43:38,060
Walford started the first inning, two run third with a singleThe next time up he bounced the first base.

1404
01:43:38,060 --> 01:43:46,060
He takes the wide one, the two and all. Figaro are not hitting the plate with the consistency they did in their last couple of innings.

1405
01:43:46,060 --> 01:43:49,060
They've got him throwing more pitches.

1406
01:43:49,060 --> 01:43:55,060
And the Royals are taking more, but he has still set down the last twelve he faced.

1407
01:43:55,060 --> 01:43:59,060
At the end, the now-downs.

1408
01:43:59,060 --> 01:44:03,060
Three and all to count on Jim Walford.

1409
01:44:03,060 --> 01:44:10,060
Jim, a native of California, makes his home now in the Kansas City area.

1410
01:44:10,060 --> 01:44:19,060
But wind up in the pit, he looks to the strike. That was the breaking ball above the knee.

1411
01:44:19,060 --> 01:44:24,060
Outfield is a little bit to the right. They've got him slightly over in the right centerThe pitch on the way.

1412
01:44:24,060 --> 01:44:26,060
Walford.

1413
01:44:26,060 --> 01:44:30,060
That'll be the second walk of Ed Figaro.

1414
01:44:30,060 --> 01:44:35,060
After he had set down twelve in a row, he issues a walk to Walford.

1415
01:44:35,060 --> 01:44:40,060
He's Cowan who contributes a single to that human-first inning.

1416
01:44:40,060 --> 01:44:46,060
The Royals scored two in the opening inning on a single by Walford. He went to third on a single by Cowan.

1417
01:44:46,060 --> 01:44:49,060
Came home on a sacrifice fly off the bat of George Brett.

1418
01:44:49,060 --> 01:44:57,060
Cowan stole second, went to third on a throwing error by Munson, and he scored on a single by Fouquet.

1419
01:44:57,060 --> 01:45:03,060
Now the Yankees came back with one in their second and two in their third to take the lead.

1420
01:45:03,060 --> 01:45:05,060
Now the set in the pit.

1421
01:45:05,060 --> 01:45:14,060
Bounding ball is short. Stanley has the flip over to the second baseman Randolph in plenty of time and the side retires.

1422
01:45:14,060 --> 01:45:17,060
No runs, no hits, no errors and one man left.

1423
01:45:17,060 --> 01:45:23,060
And at the end of five innings, the score, the Yankees three, the Royals two.

1424
01:45:23,060 --> 01:45:33,060
Racing officials say they have not confirmed that Donnie Allison's victory in the National 500 Stock Car Race has been confirmed.

1425
01:45:33,060 --> 01:45:41,060
The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, that's NASCAR, says Allison's car has not cleared the post race inspection.

1426
01:45:41,060 --> 01:45:47,060
A spokesman for Charlotte Motor Speedway says racing officials have told them the car has not cleared inspection.

1427
01:45:47,060 --> 01:45:51,060
The reason is the closeness of the measurement of the engine size.

1428
01:45:51,060 --> 01:45:59,060
And the spokesman says it will be necessary to allow the engine to cool down and at which time a final measurement will be made.

1429
01:45:59,060 --> 01:46:05,060
Veteran racing driver Jackie Ickx was seriously injured in the U.S. Grand Prix in Washington, D.C.

1430
01:46:05,060 --> 01:46:15,060
Ickx, a 31-year-old Belgian, suffered a compound fracture of his right ankle and a possible fracture of his lower left leg as well as minor burns.

1431
01:46:15,060 --> 01:46:23,060
He lost the wheel during the race at one of the fastest points of the course and slammed into a guardrail.

1432
01:46:23,060 --> 01:46:33,060
There's to be a World Series expert by knowing the history and events that make it America's top sports attraction.

1433
01:46:33,060 --> 01:46:39,060
It's all inside the official 1976 World Series program, the one that's sold at the series.

1434
01:46:39,060 --> 01:46:51,060
For additional run downs on the divisional winners, get that selected newsstands or send a check or money order for $2.50 to World Series program cost of this box, $6.66.

1435
01:46:51,060 --> 01:46:54,060
San Francisco, California, $9.4101.

1436
01:46:54,060 --> 01:47:00,060
And World Series program, P.O. Box 666, San Francisco, $9.4101.

1437
01:47:00,060 --> 01:47:09,060
This meeting has been brought to you on behalf of Major League Baseball.

1438
01:47:09,060 --> 01:47:14,060
Willie Randolph will lead it off with the Yankees in the sixth. They're ahead of the Royals now, 3-2.

1439
01:47:14,060 --> 01:47:19,060
Randolph is the only Yankee in the two games who has not had a hit.

1440
01:47:19,060 --> 01:47:22,060
Everybody else has had at least one.

1441
01:47:22,060 --> 01:47:31,060
Right-hand batter takes a pitch outside from the left-hander Paul Spridolf, ball one.

1442
01:47:31,060 --> 01:47:37,060
Wind up by Spridolf. He kicks and delivers and it's in too close, 2-0.

1443
01:47:37,060 --> 01:47:45,060
Yankees have had a hit in every inning in this game and they had one in every inning in the first game, except the seventh when they went out 1-2-3.

1444
01:47:45,060 --> 01:47:52,060
They've been very consistent. Downing ball to short, one hopper for Potec. Throw the first to Mayberry. He got it.

1445
01:47:52,060 --> 01:48:01,060
They throw a little bit wide to the right-field side, but John kept his foot on the bag.

1446
01:48:01,060 --> 01:48:11,060
His first family has had a soft line drive to white and second base, and then they've got a Texas League double into right field in the fourth inning.

1447
01:48:11,060 --> 01:48:18,060
One of the five Yankee doubles. They have nine hits and five have been two-baggers.

1448
01:48:18,060 --> 01:48:24,060
Spridolf working in relief for the start of Leonard. Delivered, here's another pop fly back into short right about the same clock.

1449
01:48:24,060 --> 01:48:30,060
Poquette coming in. He has it. And they are two away.

1450
01:48:30,060 --> 01:48:37,060
Almost a carbon copy of that matter.

1451
01:48:37,060 --> 01:48:44,060
Here's Nicky Rivers, who has walked, bounced to second, and fly to set a field.

1452
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:52,060
Brad will play in close on him inside the bag, looking for the possibility from the speedy left-hand batting Rivers.

1453
01:48:52,060 --> 01:48:58,060
Spridolf lines and pitches at the curve ball, last foul down the first base side on the ground.

1454
01:48:58,060 --> 01:49:06,060
Yankees have three runs, nine hits, and one errorThe Royals have two runs, three hits, and no errors.

1455
01:49:06,060 --> 01:49:10,060
Out the way, Rivers to hit late. They've got Cowans over in left center.

1456
01:49:10,060 --> 01:49:18,060
Now Spridolf delivers. Rivers swings as a foul fly hits in the seats and right.

1457
01:49:18,060 --> 01:49:24,060
Here, that one belongs to a man from Independence. I believe it did.

1458
01:49:24,060 --> 01:49:31,060
It just came from the Truman Library.

1459
01:49:31,060 --> 01:49:36,060
Nicky taking his time getting back to the batter's box.

1460
01:49:36,060 --> 01:49:41,060
Spridolf came into the game in the third. He's allowed two hits.

1461
01:49:41,060 --> 01:49:46,060
Three hits since he came in. There's a pitch outside.

1462
01:49:46,060 --> 01:49:52,060
Gave up a single to May, the first man he faced, then doubles by Stanley and Nettles.

1463
01:49:52,060 --> 01:49:56,060
None doing any damage. Here's the pitch. Rivers swings, bombing ball, second base,

1464
01:49:56,060 --> 01:50:01,060
fights to his left as it fell to Mayberry, and they tied out one, two, three.

1465
01:50:01,060 --> 01:50:08,060
And at the end of five and one half innings, the score, the Yankees three, the Royals two.

1466
01:50:08,060 --> 01:50:14,060
A tough day on quarterbacks, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback Steve Vodkowski suffered a knee injury

1467
01:50:14,060 --> 01:50:19,060
in that game against the New Orleans Saints and left before halftime.

1468
01:50:19,060 --> 01:50:25,060
A second year starter from California, Vodkowski went down on a play in which the Saints were penalized

1469
01:50:25,060 --> 01:50:31,060
for face maskingThe quarterback completed 4-7 for 49 yards before leaving the game

1470
01:50:31,060 --> 01:50:39,060
and was replaced by a third year backup, Kim McQuicklin, with the Falcons trailing 20-0 at the half.

1471
01:50:39,060 --> 01:50:47,060
And in that game, the Falcons eventually lost it by the score of 30-0.

1472
01:50:47,060 --> 01:50:54,060
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Bob Moose killed in a two-car accident near St. Clairsville, Ohio Saturday night

1473
01:50:54,060 --> 01:51:00,060
on his 29th birthdayThe Highway Patrol says Moose was driving south on an Ohio State Highway

1474
01:51:00,060 --> 01:51:05,060
about 10 miles north of St. Clairsville when he lost control.

1475
01:51:05,060 --> 01:51:11,060
The car went off the road, came back on, and then collided head-on with a car in the opposite lane.

1476
01:51:11,060 --> 01:51:18,060
The Patrol said a light rain was falling and Moose's vehicle was apparently traveling too fast for our conditions.

1477
01:51:18,060 --> 01:51:26,060
Last half of inning, number six, then the Royal Stadium and the Yankees lead Kansas City 3-2.

1478
01:51:26,060 --> 01:51:32,060
George Brett will lead it off. He'll be followed by Mayberry and McRae, the three best hitters on the Kansas City team,

1479
01:51:32,060 --> 01:51:36,060
coming up now to look at the slants of Ed Bigarow on.

1480
01:51:36,060 --> 01:51:43,060
And quite a lot of flack over George Brett's argument with Billy Martin concerning his brother,

1481
01:51:43,060 --> 01:51:48,060
brother Ken traded by the Yankees to the White Sox.

1482
01:51:48,060 --> 01:51:53,060
The leading brother combination in baseball history was the famous Della Halle family.

1483
01:51:53,060 --> 01:51:59,060
They had five brothers. Big Ed, the most famous, he won a batting title in each league.

1484
01:51:59,060 --> 01:52:07,060
And the O'Neals, the featuring Steve O'Neals and brothers, there were four brothers in that combination.

1485
01:52:07,060 --> 01:52:12,060
And of course, many famous duos, the Dean brothers, for instance.

1486
01:52:12,060 --> 01:52:20,060
Well, Brett, the batting champion in the American League, has drove in the first run for Kansas City for the sacrifice fly in the first inning.

1487
01:52:20,060 --> 01:52:23,060
He bounced the second his next time up.

1488
01:52:23,060 --> 01:52:28,060
Left hand about a waiting and Bigarow delivers. It's a strike on the outside corner.

1489
01:52:28,060 --> 01:52:37,060
That was a change-up for Ed, one of the few he's thrown so far.

1490
01:52:37,060 --> 01:52:43,060
Three to two, the Yankees lead six-inning. Brett swings, fly ball to the field. Rivers going back, back, back.

1491
01:52:43,060 --> 01:52:50,060
Can't get it. It's off his glove. To the wall. Brett going for two. He's rounding second. Here he comes to third.

1492
01:52:50,060 --> 01:52:53,060
Here's a remade at third. He's tied. He is safe.

1493
01:52:53,060 --> 01:53:11,060
Rivers went back on the ball. Didn't get back far enough.

1494
01:53:11,060 --> 01:53:31,060
Seemed to slightly misjudge it, then took a leap. Maybe it tipped his glove all the way to the wall. And Brett makes it to third.

1495
01:53:31,060 --> 01:53:41,060
Here's Mayberry up, tying right at third for Kansas City. Doyle Alexander working in the Yankee ball pen.

1496
01:53:41,060 --> 01:53:46,060
Three to two, the Yankees in the lead. Last half of the sixth inning, nobody else.

1497
01:53:46,060 --> 01:53:52,060
Mayberry takes the ball in close from Bigarow.

1498
01:53:52,060 --> 01:53:59,060
Brett led the American League in triples. And he's on third right now with a three-bagger.

1499
01:53:59,060 --> 01:54:03,060
Now the launch in the fifth. Mayberry cuts, line drive, face hit.

1500
01:54:03,060 --> 01:54:25,060
Brett will scoreThe ball cut off by Rivers. Mayberry makes the big turn, holds at first, and the game is tied three to three.

1501
01:54:25,060 --> 01:54:36,060
Mayberry weighs in with his worst hit of the series, but a big one, he ties the game.

1502
01:54:36,060 --> 01:54:41,060
You can hear the Kansas City crowd now yelling, go, go, go.

1503
01:54:41,060 --> 01:54:46,060
Their heroes have tied the game in the sixth inning, three-three, McRae at the plate.

1504
01:54:46,060 --> 01:54:51,060
Mayberry short-leaded first. McRae swings, a little loop will hit down past first base.

1505
01:54:51,060 --> 01:55:01,060
Mayberry may go foul, it does. Cased by Randolph and Campbell, if neither one can reach it.

1506
01:55:01,060 --> 01:55:06,060
Kidraugh working in the Yankee ball pen right now. They had him up earlier.

1507
01:55:06,060 --> 01:55:12,060
And there he is, the first inning. Now the Royals have bounced back with a run here.

1508
01:55:12,060 --> 01:55:16,060
The tie of the game is three-three, sixth inning.

1509
01:55:16,060 --> 01:55:22,060
They have Mayberry at first, no way out. Good hit and run, man, McRae at the plate.

1510
01:55:22,060 --> 01:55:31,060
Infield is in double play, depth of the Yankee. McRae has walked and fanned so far.

1511
01:55:31,060 --> 01:55:37,060
Now the steps by Figueroa. He doesn't have it. Here's a pop foul off the first.

1512
01:55:37,060 --> 01:55:46,060
Campbell is digging near the seat and he won't get it. It's a adjustment to the photographer's area in front of the field feet.

1513
01:55:46,060 --> 01:55:55,060
Rand Jackson, the left-hander, has now joined with Kidraugh on the Yankee ball pen.

1514
01:55:55,060 --> 01:56:03,060
Campbell is going to try to keep Mayberry close. McRae will go to that opposite field from time to time.

1515
01:56:03,060 --> 01:56:09,060
That will give him a little larger target on that side of the infield if he wants to catch it.

1516
01:56:09,060 --> 01:56:14,060
They have Rivers slightly over to right-center. Game tie, three-three. That's the pitch.

1517
01:56:14,060 --> 01:56:23,060
He takes the fast ball in close. That would have been a very tough pitch to try to go to right field with.

1518
01:56:23,060 --> 01:56:30,060
One and two, the counter of McRae, standing deep in the batter's box. Now he's tough to wait and play.

1519
01:56:30,060 --> 01:56:38,060
Checking his sign with the veteran catcher MunsonThe one-two pitch. He takes a breaking ball wide.

1520
01:56:38,060 --> 01:56:44,060
Figueroa has gone all the way for the Yankees.

1521
01:56:44,060 --> 01:56:50,060
Had a shaky first inning. Then settled down. Retired 12 in a row.

1522
01:56:50,060 --> 01:56:57,060
Now here in the sixth inning, the Royals have picked up a run to tie the game.

1523
01:56:57,060 --> 01:57:03,060
Waiting on a two-two delivery at the plate is McRae. Here it comes. He swings as they fly ball to right.

1524
01:57:03,060 --> 01:57:13,060
Campbell's coming over near the line. He's there. He has it. Mayberry goes back-tagged and holds it first.

1525
01:57:13,060 --> 01:57:24,060
One out, one on. And Tom Fouquet, who's singled in a run in the first shift of the plate, back in the first inning will be the batter.

1526
01:57:24,060 --> 01:57:28,060
Second time he's batting five is better.

1527
01:57:28,060 --> 01:57:35,060
Willie Randolph comes in to say a word or two to Figueroa for a moment.

1528
01:57:35,060 --> 01:57:40,060
After Fouquet, it'll be Frank White.

1529
01:57:40,060 --> 01:57:46,060
Yankees have three runs, nine hits, one errorThe Royals have three runs, five hits, and they have no errors.

1530
01:57:46,060 --> 01:57:50,060
Fouquet is spread straight away by the outfield.

1531
01:57:50,060 --> 01:57:55,060
He's coming by ball. That's better deep. White going back, back, back, back. He can't get it. It's off the wall.

1532
01:57:55,060 --> 01:58:00,060
Mayberry coming around third. And he is seeing Wade Holm, who's a relay to the plate.

1533
01:58:00,060 --> 01:58:22,060
He's in phase with the double and the Royals take the lead 4-3.

1534
01:58:22,060 --> 01:58:40,060
And he's tied to left center. Tom Fouquet brings in the tiebreaker and it brings Billy Martin out toward the mound and it brings a cascade of food from the Kansas City gathering here.

1535
01:58:40,060 --> 01:58:48,060
Billy is going to make a change, a motion to the bullpen.

1536
01:58:48,060 --> 01:58:55,060
He has the kid row out there, right-hander. And he has the left-hander Grant Jackson.

1537
01:58:55,060 --> 01:59:04,060
We just have to wait for the three. We want to bring the kid row in, I believe, Ernie.

1538
01:59:04,060 --> 01:59:09,060
You're tuned to your CBS Radio Network station for game number two in the American League playoffs.

1539
01:59:09,060 --> 01:59:15,060
And that means you're tuned to the only radio talk for the World Series starting Saturday, October the 16th.

1540
01:59:15,060 --> 01:59:30,060
CBS Radio Sports brings you exclusive play-by-play coverage. Follow the series on radio right here.

1541
01:59:30,060 --> 01:59:37,060
And Tuesday on CBS Radio, it will be Philadelphia, Cincinnati at 3.05 Eastern and 2.05 Central time.

1542
01:59:37,060 --> 01:59:43,060
And Kansas City at Yankee Stadium at 8.05 Eastern and 7.05 Central.

1543
01:59:43,060 --> 01:59:48,060
All right, Ed Figueroa was breathing beautifully after the bad first inning.

1544
01:59:48,060 --> 01:59:53,060
He went to 12 batters without getting anybody get on base.

1545
01:59:53,060 --> 01:59:56,060
Then Wolford broke that up with a walk in the fifth, but nothing happened.

1546
01:59:56,060 --> 02:00:01,060
In this inning, though, Brett tripled Mayberry's single and after McRae flat-outs, Fouquet has doubled.

1547
02:00:01,060 --> 02:00:06,060
And this kid row is on. So Figueroa goes five in one third inning.

1548
02:00:06,060 --> 02:00:14,060
Figueroa's up six-tips in four runs. He's responsible for a base runner. He walked through, he stuck out two.

1549
02:00:14,060 --> 02:00:24,060
And gives way now to the eighth of the Yankee staff in relief this year, Dick Kidrow.

1550
02:00:24,060 --> 02:00:29,060
And while you're giving that rundown on the statistics, Billy Martin came from the mound.

1551
02:00:29,060 --> 02:00:32,060
And of course, there was a lot of hooting from the Kansas City fans.

1552
02:00:32,060 --> 02:00:40,060
He was mounted with a wave of the cap, got a mock bow, and then he threw kisses to the insomniac.

1553
02:00:40,060 --> 02:00:45,060
Targeted Sparkey Lyle before the game. He said, I haven't really pitched much in the second half.

1554
02:00:45,060 --> 02:00:50,060
The reason is because Grant Jackson on the left side had done such an excellent job.

1555
02:00:50,060 --> 02:00:56,060
And Dick Kidrow has been super in relief. He's won four and lost five on the year.

1556
02:00:56,060 --> 02:01:05,060
And in 92 in the third inning, he was given up 80 hits and struck out 65, a good run average of 2.63 for Kidrow.

1557
02:01:05,060 --> 02:01:12,060
A guy that can throw hard. And the book on him is he's better in short relief, I think, Ernie, than in long.

1558
02:01:12,060 --> 02:01:18,060
He's excellent the first time around. I figure that maybe the second look at him, you might eventually get to him.

1559
02:01:18,060 --> 02:01:23,060
But that's why he's been the eighth and ninth inning relief artist that he has been for the Yankees.

1560
02:01:23,060 --> 02:01:30,060
Dick's strong guy throws hard and he's got the control that they really need.

1561
02:01:30,060 --> 02:01:34,060
The first man to face him will be Frank White.

1562
02:01:34,060 --> 02:01:39,060
Poquette out at second base and so far he's been a big man. Poquette has. He's given him two runs.

1563
02:01:39,060 --> 02:01:48,060
And he's the only man with two hits. Bird and Midori are working now in the Royal Bowl Fair.

1564
02:01:48,060 --> 02:01:55,060
Kidrow picked up ten saves during the regular season.

1565
02:01:55,060 --> 02:02:02,060
Here's White stepping in to face himThe Royals have taken the lead for the first time since early in the game.

1566
02:02:02,060 --> 02:02:05,060
Four to three over the Yankees. Sixth inning.

1567
02:02:05,060 --> 02:02:09,060
Kidrow delivers. White hits a chopper down to third. Bare ball, fielded by Nettles.

1568
02:02:09,060 --> 02:02:13,060
He throws the first to campus. White is out and holding at second his poquette.

1569
02:02:13,060 --> 02:02:18,060
Nettles got the high hopper, hit rather slowly. Took a quick look to second.

1570
02:02:18,060 --> 02:02:22,060
Checked his poquette back there and threw out the batter.

1571
02:02:22,060 --> 02:02:31,060
Red, hottyThe little shortstop setting up now. He hits the ball pretty well, but he's down to the center field of rivers.

1572
02:02:31,060 --> 02:02:41,060
Each of the starting pickers has departed. Bigger Roy of the Yankees and the lineman of the Royal.

1573
02:02:41,060 --> 02:02:48,060
Kidrow, a native of San Francisco, makes his home now in Kansas City.

1574
02:02:48,060 --> 02:02:54,060
28-year-old right-hander.

1575
02:02:54,060 --> 02:03:03,060
A couple of good years at Cleveland. Well, the Yankees picked him up. There's a swing and a miss.

1576
02:03:03,060 --> 02:03:10,060
That looks like he's slotty. He's got a sinking fastball and a good curve, and he'll use his screwball.

1577
02:03:10,060 --> 02:03:17,060
That'll break in on a right-hand batter. Now the pitch. Swing, and he missed that one.

1578
02:03:17,060 --> 02:03:24,060
Two quick strikes. Kidrow in control here early after coming and relieving the starter figure.

1579
02:03:24,060 --> 02:03:28,060
4-3, Roy used to leave New York. Thick finish.

1580
02:03:28,060 --> 02:03:33,060
Now the big right-hander. Kick to the livers. Here's a ball low. That was a breaking pitch.

1581
02:03:33,060 --> 02:03:41,060
1-2 on Fred Potech. Outfield plays Fred straight up. And the infield is back at this stage with two out,

1582
02:03:41,060 --> 02:03:47,060
and folks get trying to lead off second to base. Here's the set to pitch. He swings a pop foul.

1583
02:03:47,060 --> 02:03:55,060
It'll reach the seat. 1-2 on Potech.

1584
02:03:55,060 --> 02:03:59,060
The Royal scored first in this game. They got two in the opening gameThe Yankees got one in the second.

1585
02:03:59,060 --> 02:04:03,060
Two in the third to take the lead. They held the lead until here in the sixth inning.

1586
02:04:03,060 --> 02:04:07,060
That's when the Roy was pushed over to...

1587
02:04:07,060 --> 02:04:14,060
Now Kidrow, checking his time with Munson. It's a 1-2 count on Potech.

1588
02:04:14,060 --> 02:04:18,060
The pitch is on the way. He swings it, a bounding ball to short. Stanley gobbles it up.

1589
02:04:18,060 --> 02:04:23,060
Fire is over to Chambley to hobble the ball, and he saves.

1590
02:04:23,060 --> 02:04:29,060
Stanley's had it and hobbled it. And on the third goes Potech. It was a good throw.

1591
02:04:29,060 --> 02:04:33,060
He just hobbled the ball, and the contact.

1592
02:04:33,060 --> 02:04:43,060
Plus the back save. It'll be an error charge to Chambley.

1593
02:04:43,060 --> 02:04:53,060
Nothing wrong with the throw. He just didn't catch it. So here's Martinez to catch your butt, Martinez.

1594
02:04:53,060 --> 02:05:01,060
And the same thing each time he came to bat, he flied to right.

1595
02:05:01,060 --> 02:05:06,060
That's the second New York errorThe other one belongs to Munson.

1596
02:05:06,060 --> 02:05:18,060
4-3, Kansas City. Right called. A fastball on the inside corner.

1597
02:05:18,060 --> 02:05:27,060
The Royals have it a single, a double, a triple, and they've been safe on an error this inning.

1598
02:05:27,060 --> 02:05:31,060
Right-hand batting Martinez waitingThe pitch is cut on, and he didn't get it.

1599
02:05:31,060 --> 02:05:36,060
It was in under the hands, the fastball.

1600
02:05:36,060 --> 02:05:45,060
A pitch that's always hard to handle.

1601
02:05:45,060 --> 02:05:51,060
Contact to Braddock for his base. Edging off now.

1602
02:05:51,060 --> 02:05:59,060
Here's the set by Tidro, and he flits one over there.

1603
02:05:59,060 --> 02:06:10,060
He had 51 steals, he led his team, and was caught 15 times during the season.

1604
02:06:10,060 --> 02:06:13,060
Now edging off again. Here's Tidro's set position.

1605
02:06:13,060 --> 02:06:18,060
Here he goesThe pitch is flung on. A fly ball hit back into short left. Stanley going back.

1606
02:06:18,060 --> 02:06:24,060
White on upfield is coming in behind him, and now Dwight, he'll make the catch.

1607
02:06:24,060 --> 02:06:31,060
That retires the Royals, but they take the lead. Two runs, three hits.

1608
02:06:31,060 --> 02:06:40,060
One Yankee error, and two runners go left on base.

1609
02:06:40,060 --> 02:06:47,060
Motor Speedway in North Carolina finally confirmed that Donnie Allison won the National 500 Stock Car Race.

1610
02:06:47,060 --> 02:06:54,060
It was Allison's first stock car victory in five years, and he had to wait four hours to have it confirmed.

1611
02:06:54,060 --> 02:06:58,060
Of course, we were so excited about it, we had to tell you a little bit earlier than we normally would.

1612
02:06:58,060 --> 02:07:01,060
But anyway, he got in there, and he got the victory.

1613
02:07:01,060 --> 02:07:09,060
Allison's car was ruled legal after a post-race inspection by officials of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.

1614
02:07:09,060 --> 02:07:14,060
NASCAR officials withheld confirmation of the victory because of what his spokesman called

1615
02:07:14,060 --> 02:07:17,060
The closeness in the measurement of the engine size.

1616
02:07:17,060 --> 02:07:22,060
Officials waited for about an hour, letting the engine cool before taking measurements,

1617
02:07:22,060 --> 02:07:27,060
which showed that it met NASCAR requirements.

1618
02:07:27,060 --> 02:07:33,060
Taking a look at the National Hockey League activity, Montreal and Buffalo tied 1-1 in their game,

1619
02:07:33,060 --> 02:07:41,060
which is now in the second period, and Boston leads Cleveland 1-0. That game is in the second period.

1620
02:07:41,060 --> 02:07:47,060
Here's the seventh inning now in Royal Stadium, Kansas City, the Royals lead the Yanks 4-3.

1621
02:07:47,060 --> 02:07:52,060
Both bullfens are busy, Doug the Bird and Steve Mingore in the Royal bullfin,

1622
02:07:52,060 --> 02:08:00,060
Joel Alexander and Ken Hoffman heating up in the Yankee bullfin.

1623
02:08:00,060 --> 02:08:07,060
Grydoff and Labe will be facing Roy White, Herman Munson, and Chris Shamblett,

1624
02:08:07,060 --> 02:08:11,060
The heavy part of the Yankee batting order in this inning. They're number two, three, and four hitters

1625
02:08:11,060 --> 02:08:16,060
for Billy Martin's team. Grydoff enters the game.

1626
02:08:16,060 --> 02:08:22,060
In the third inning, relieving Leonard, Leonard was touched for all three Yankee runs

1627
02:08:22,060 --> 02:08:29,060
and gave up six of the nine hits that they had obtained.

1628
02:08:29,060 --> 02:08:33,060
The Reds beat the Fills this afternoon in the Philadelphia 62 Cincinnati Leagues

1629
02:08:33,060 --> 02:08:39,060
and the National League Championship Series, two victories to none.

1630
02:08:39,060 --> 02:08:48,060
Here's Roy White, heating up. Roy's had a single, a double, and a face-on ball in this game.

1631
02:08:48,060 --> 02:08:53,060
And yesterday had a double and four trips. Batting right-handed against the left-handed,

1632
02:08:53,060 --> 02:09:02,060
he takes a curve at face-outside. All one, the count on White. Outfield around the left on him, the infield back.

1633
02:09:02,060 --> 02:09:09,060
Pop up, right field, going back is White, White. Behind him, Polk Kep, they're both there,

1634
02:09:09,060 --> 02:09:14,060
and Polk Kep's the right fielder next to Gets. Almost a little nishap there.

1635
02:09:14,060 --> 02:09:19,060
Boy, it's an adventure every time one's popped up to right field tonight when the Yankees are batting.

1636
02:09:19,060 --> 02:09:27,060
I think Wolford did call and just, I'm not sure, the last moment, whether White even heard him this time.

1637
02:09:27,060 --> 02:09:40,060
Here's Monson. He's heading to double play, double and bounced into a fourth out to shortstop.

1638
02:09:40,060 --> 02:09:47,060
Big Husky right-hand batting, driven in over 100 runs in the past two seasons.

1639
02:09:47,060 --> 02:09:55,060
Finished the season with a 3-0-2 batting mark. Bounding ball right back to spinoff, good stop, throw to first, deep out.

1640
02:09:55,060 --> 02:09:59,060
There are two quick outs in the Yankee seventh.

1641
02:09:59,060 --> 02:10:07,060
Chris Dabless will be the batter. Chris with a bounce to second, a single, and a ground out to first.

1642
02:10:07,060 --> 02:10:12,060
The only Yankees without a hit tonight are Mickey Rivers. He's been on in the walk.

1643
02:10:12,060 --> 02:10:19,060
And Willie Randolph.

1644
02:10:19,060 --> 02:10:27,060
Split off left-hands one of the play to say breaking ball low and away. Ball one. Four runs, six hits, no errors for Kansas City.

1645
02:10:27,060 --> 02:10:31,060
New York three runs, nine hits. They've made two errors.

1646
02:10:31,060 --> 02:10:38,060
Bounding ball left side, maybe a hit. Modek picks it up long throw to Naberik. Not in time.

1647
02:10:38,060 --> 02:10:42,060
Freddy Modek was playing over near second.

1648
02:10:42,060 --> 02:10:47,060
He ranged wide to his right in the hole, but he had no chance on that ball. This was just too deep.

1649
02:10:47,060 --> 02:10:54,060
And Shambliss has an infield hit.

1650
02:10:54,060 --> 02:11:00,060
Three Yankees now in the fifth base. And here's one of them, Carlos May.

1651
02:11:00,060 --> 02:11:05,060
May and White and Shambliss.

1652
02:11:05,060 --> 02:11:10,060
Two down, a man on. That man at first base is the potential tying run for New York.

1653
02:11:10,060 --> 02:11:14,060
Royals lead the Yankees 4-3, 7-8.

1654
02:11:14,060 --> 02:11:21,060
Good off kicks and deals. Here's a point it'll be foul over toward the Yankee dugout.

1655
02:11:21,060 --> 02:11:34,060
A little surprise effort there by Carlos May trying to butt his way on.

1656
02:11:34,060 --> 02:11:44,060
These two clubs met in a great many close game. This is typical of the action when these two get together.

1657
02:11:44,060 --> 02:11:53,060
Here's a cut and a miss on a breaking pitch.

1658
02:11:53,060 --> 02:12:03,060
Close stance hitter, Carlos May. And as Ned Martin told you, he choked the bat a good bit more than most.

1659
02:12:03,060 --> 02:12:10,060
Bounding ball past the mound. White charges has it for the first to Mayberry. And the side retires.

1660
02:12:10,060 --> 02:12:19,060
The round one hits no errors. One man left. And the middle of the club, that was the Yankees. It's the Royals 4-3.

1661
02:12:19,060 --> 02:12:25,060
In case you missed it and checking out how your favorite team did in the National Football League today.

1662
02:12:25,060 --> 02:12:31,060
The Baltimore Colts over Miami 28-14The Colts move into first place in the NFC.

1663
02:12:31,060 --> 02:12:37,060
And actually make that the National Football League's AFC East. New York Jets over Buffalo 17-14.

1664
02:12:37,060 --> 02:12:47,060
Dallas 24, the Giants 14. Kansas City 33, Washington 30. Cleveland 18, Pittsburgh 16. Cincinnati 21.

1665
02:12:47,060 --> 02:12:56,060
Tampa Bay nothingThe Lions 30, the Patriots 10. Minnesota 20, Chicago 19, Houston 17, Denver 3.

1666
02:12:56,060 --> 02:13:04,060
The Norrland Saints 30, Atlanta nothing. Green Bay 27, Seattle 20. St. Louis 33, Philadelphia 14.

1667
02:13:04,060 --> 02:13:12,060
And the Raiders over the Chargers 27-17. That's a look at what happened Sunday in the National Football League.

1668
02:13:12,060 --> 02:13:18,060
On Monday the San Francisco 49ers will take on the Los Angeles Rams.

1669
02:13:18,060 --> 02:13:23,060
Okay, let's get back to the action at Royal Stadium in Kansas City.

1670
02:13:23,060 --> 02:13:30,060
The pay to tenants tonight is $41,091. That's 14.

1671
02:13:30,060 --> 02:13:36,060
I don't know how they could get 14 more in, but they did it.

1672
02:13:36,060 --> 02:13:40,060
We were talking about the ball not carrying very well at night in this ballpark.

1673
02:13:40,060 --> 02:13:44,060
And the Royals hit only 65 home runs in 1976.

1674
02:13:44,060 --> 02:13:51,060
And at this stadium there were 72 home runs. Yet the Royals hit 37 and the opposition hit 35.

1675
02:13:51,060 --> 02:13:57,060
If you want to go back away, the Chicago White Sox in 1988 hit only three home runs.

1676
02:13:57,060 --> 02:14:02,060
The next season, the whole team in 154 games.

1677
02:14:02,060 --> 02:14:09,060
See the John Sillis Bell and the picture at one. Three home runs for the whole team.

1678
02:14:09,060 --> 02:14:14,060
Jim Walford will lead it off. He's the right-hand batting outfielder.

1679
02:14:14,060 --> 02:14:21,060
Royals ahead 4-3. Kid Rowe and relief from Figueroa.

1680
02:14:21,060 --> 02:14:24,060
He pitches. There's a pounding ball. Deep short. Stanley backhanded.

1681
02:14:24,060 --> 02:14:29,060
Here's a photo first to Cameron. Got him. It was close.

1682
02:14:29,060 --> 02:14:34,060
You need a strong arm on this tartan turf net and he showed us one then.

1683
02:14:34,060 --> 02:14:42,060
Partick usually on the shortstop of the Royals has considered one of the strongest shortstop of arm that Stanley kind of grows on you.

1684
02:14:42,060 --> 02:14:44,060
The more you see him, the more you like him.

1685
02:14:44,060 --> 02:14:47,060
And when the season started, he really didn't have the job.

1686
02:14:47,060 --> 02:14:55,060
It was sort of a platoon affair between him and Nathan.

1687
02:14:55,060 --> 02:14:59,060
Here's Cowan. He's had a single in three turns at bat.

1688
02:14:59,060 --> 02:15:06,060
Single in the first inning and then bounced the short the next two times.

1689
02:15:06,060 --> 02:15:12,060
Kid Rowe, the big right-hander, now winds into the business and Al Cowan takes the fastball highball one.

1690
02:15:12,060 --> 02:15:18,060
4-3The Royals lead the Yanks in the seventh inning.

1691
02:15:18,060 --> 02:15:23,060
Outfield straight up on Cowan. He stands deep. Swings and fouls it away.

1692
02:15:23,060 --> 02:15:29,060
One-and-one, the Cowan and Al.

1693
02:15:29,060 --> 02:15:34,060
The only Royale with two hits is Polketti. He's driven in two runs with a single and a double.

1694
02:15:34,060 --> 02:15:40,060
The other hits belong to the first four men in the batting order, one apiece, Wolfman, Cowan, Brett, and Mayberry.

1695
02:15:40,060 --> 02:15:44,060
Here it comes. He swings with a bonding ball to short. There's Stanley over again to his right.

1696
02:15:44,060 --> 02:15:50,060
Has it long throw and Cameron's got the ball.

1697
02:15:50,060 --> 02:15:56,060
David Berkley Cowan ran into Stanley and this couldn't hold onto the ball.

1698
02:15:56,060 --> 02:16:04,060
We'll wait for the scorer. There have been two Yankee errors already, one by Munson and one by Cameron.

1699
02:16:04,060 --> 02:16:10,060
So it was off to the first base side a little bit and this poor stab was to go over there with his glove hand.

1700
02:16:10,060 --> 02:16:15,060
And he was jostled by the runner, I believe.

1701
02:16:15,060 --> 02:16:21,060
That's right, and he had to reach up and then the runner, Cowan, ran into the ball.

1702
02:16:21,060 --> 02:16:30,060
Here's George Brett at the plate.

1703
02:16:30,060 --> 02:16:34,060
They've charged the error to Stanley on the throw.

1704
02:16:34,060 --> 02:16:38,060
Stanley's had to reach for it and that's the reason the shortstop got the error.

1705
02:16:38,060 --> 02:16:43,060
So to first, Mackinac and Thomas Cowan.

1706
02:16:43,060 --> 02:16:48,060
That's the third missed cue by the Yankees.

1707
02:16:48,060 --> 02:16:54,060
And that's the third New York 4-3, 7-1. One out, Brett at the plate.

1708
02:16:54,060 --> 02:16:56,060
He has a triple in the sacrifice and he's bounced to second.

1709
02:16:56,060 --> 02:16:58,060
Throw to first again.

1710
02:16:58,060 --> 02:17:02,060
And Cowan's back in time. He's a good runner.

1711
02:17:02,060 --> 02:17:05,060
Only two runners on this team going their own.

1712
02:17:05,060 --> 02:17:13,060
Freddy Patek and Amos Otis. Otis is out for the series with an injury.

1713
02:17:13,060 --> 02:17:17,060
Now the pitch to Brett is outside.

1714
02:17:17,060 --> 02:17:21,060
Kansas City sitting them. More field is this.

1715
02:17:21,060 --> 02:17:28,060
But everybody except Patek and Otis, for each hitter they'll give a sign saying you can go.

1716
02:17:28,060 --> 02:17:33,060
If you don't get that sign, you don't go.

1717
02:17:33,060 --> 02:17:35,060
There he goesThe pitch is hung on and missed.

1718
02:17:35,060 --> 02:17:38,060
So the second is not in time. It gets high.

1719
02:17:38,060 --> 02:17:40,060
Well, Kansas City field. Landau couldn't hold it.

1720
02:17:40,060 --> 02:17:44,060
Getting up and moving to third is Cowan.

1721
02:17:44,060 --> 02:17:49,060
And on third, one man down for Kansas City.

1722
02:17:49,060 --> 02:17:52,060
With a throwing error, charges to Montalvo.

1723
02:17:52,060 --> 02:17:55,060
And Cowan will pick up the stolen base.

1724
02:17:55,060 --> 02:17:57,060
The second error.

1725
02:18:02,060 --> 02:18:06,060
Landau for Kansas City.

1726
02:18:06,060 --> 02:18:09,060
With a throwing error, charges to Montalvo.

1727
02:18:09,060 --> 02:18:12,060
And Cowan will pick up the stolen base.

1728
02:18:12,060 --> 02:18:14,060
The second error.

1729
02:18:14,060 --> 02:18:18,060
For Montalvo's game.

1730
02:18:18,060 --> 02:18:22,060
They said they were going to run early and they have turned it to their advantage tonight.

1731
02:18:22,060 --> 02:18:26,060
And they're on the attack now, forcing the bad throws by Montalvo.

1732
02:18:26,060 --> 02:18:30,060
Each time Montalvo made that bad throw, he's just stolen base for Cowan.

1733
02:18:30,060 --> 02:18:32,060
And the first inning in here in the seventh.

1734
02:18:32,060 --> 02:18:36,060
Now the Yankees are going to be forced to pull their infield in.

1735
02:18:36,060 --> 02:18:42,060
One-one pitch to Brett. He backed away.

1736
02:18:42,060 --> 02:18:52,060
The pulled-in infield is even more treacherous for defensive purposes on this tartan serve.

1737
02:18:52,060 --> 02:18:56,060
Cowan's coming down off third, shut by Tedrow. Two-one-fifth.

1738
02:18:56,060 --> 02:18:58,060
Brett Twinkle mounting ball to first.

1739
02:18:58,060 --> 02:19:00,060
Chambers coming to the plate. They've got him in a chase.

1740
02:19:00,060 --> 02:19:02,060
Cowan's being chased back by Munson.

1741
02:19:02,060 --> 02:19:08,060
The throw goes to Nettles. He moves him. Now Tedrow takes the throw near the plate and tags him.

1742
02:19:08,060 --> 02:19:11,060
And on the field is choice. Brett takes second to base.

1743
02:19:11,060 --> 02:19:15,060
It'll be the first baseman of the catcher to the third baseman to the pitcher.

1744
02:19:15,060 --> 02:19:26,060
Three to two to five to one.

1745
02:19:26,060 --> 02:19:30,060
That means that the Royals end up with a managed second and two down.

1746
02:19:30,060 --> 02:19:38,060
There will be Mayberry who's taking them through the first hit of the series with an RBI single in the sixth inning.

1747
02:19:38,060 --> 02:19:42,060
And drove Brett home with the one-two-three tying run at that point.

1748
02:19:42,060 --> 02:19:46,060
Four to three, the Royals lead the Yankees now.

1749
02:19:46,060 --> 02:19:50,060
Randolph is very deep. He's out in right field on Mayberry.

1750
02:19:50,060 --> 02:19:53,060
They're not overshifting on him with that managed second to base.

1751
02:19:53,060 --> 02:19:56,060
Brett's getting a king-size lead down our second.

1752
02:19:56,060 --> 02:20:05,060
Now gives him a look and he moves back slightly.

1753
02:20:05,060 --> 02:20:09,060
Royals four on six hits, Yankees three runs in it.

1754
02:20:09,060 --> 02:20:12,060
Mayberry waits on the first hit.

1755
02:20:12,060 --> 02:20:16,060
Swing and a bounding ball, deep right field, knocked down by Randolph for the first.

1756
02:20:16,060 --> 02:20:22,060
He got him. And playing the position played off, he threw him off from short right field.

1757
02:20:22,060 --> 02:20:30,060
Great play by Willie Randolph. No runs, no hits, two errors, one man left.

1758
02:20:30,060 --> 02:20:38,060
And at the end of the seventh inning, Royals four, Yankees three.

1759
02:20:38,060 --> 02:20:45,060
The Royals who have come back in this ball game have to rely, as they say, on running, which they've exhibited tonight.

1760
02:20:45,060 --> 02:20:53,060
Although the play just recorded, the one before the fine play by Willie Randolph showed questionable judgment in sending the runner home.

1761
02:20:53,060 --> 02:20:56,060
Now, was it dead out in the rundown?

1762
02:20:56,060 --> 02:20:59,060
It didn't matter if the runner got the second base on the field, it was choice.

1763
02:20:59,060 --> 02:21:01,060
They still knocked down a runner at third.

1764
02:21:01,060 --> 02:21:10,060
You'd rather have him hold there, I would believe, with a drawn-in infield, and Mayberry, like a shambler, would have had to make the play alone on Brett.

1765
02:21:10,060 --> 02:21:15,060
You'd still have a runner at third where a wild pitch or an error or something like that might get him home.

1766
02:21:15,060 --> 02:21:17,060
But the Royals will run, and they have run tonight.

1767
02:21:17,060 --> 02:21:24,060
They've done it all season long, and they call themselves a 90-foot ball run, meaning they don't hit many home runs, which they don't.

1768
02:21:24,060 --> 02:21:26,060
They're not that kind of a club at all.

1769
02:21:26,060 --> 02:21:34,060
They will run on you, they'll hit and run, they'll steal, and that is the way they play the game on this card, sir, like so many National League clubs do.

1770
02:21:34,060 --> 02:21:41,060
You'll watch for more of it in the series.

1771
02:21:41,060 --> 02:21:54,060
Now, don't forget, fans, starting next Saturday, October the 16th, you'll hear the World Series action, exclusive radio play-by-play right here on this CBS Radio Network station.

1772
02:21:54,060 --> 02:21:57,060
The bullpen's a busy.

1773
02:21:57,060 --> 02:22:05,060
They've been out for a while working in the Yankee bullpen and in the Kansas City bullpen in Doug Byrd and Steve Midori.

1774
02:22:05,060 --> 02:22:07,060
They've both been playing for quite a while.

1775
02:22:07,060 --> 02:22:11,060
Great play there by Willie Randolph on saving off another Kansas City ball.

1776
02:22:11,060 --> 02:22:20,060
As we told you, he'd stationed himself out in right field, and Mayberry hit the ball in a spot that ordinarily would have been an easy and clean base hit.

1777
02:22:20,060 --> 02:22:23,060
But Randolph ranged wide to his left.

1778
02:22:23,060 --> 02:22:28,060
He grabbed it, fell down almost, and threw the man out at first base.

1779
02:22:28,060 --> 02:22:35,060
Oh, that keeps it a one-run margin for the Lawyer on the order three, the Yankees batting in the eighth.

1780
02:22:35,060 --> 02:22:38,060
His nettles, his walks, wide to center and double.

1781
02:22:38,060 --> 02:22:45,060
One of the five Yankee doubles.

1782
02:22:45,060 --> 02:22:50,060
Left hand batting third base when he takes the ball to Silverfoot Low, ball one.

1783
02:22:50,060 --> 02:22:56,060
Middards started for KC, Spudoff relieving him in the third.

1784
02:22:56,060 --> 02:22:58,060
Wind up, here's the pitch.

1785
02:22:58,060 --> 02:23:06,060
He takes the cut, and this is trying to hold up, but he went across.

1786
02:23:06,060 --> 02:23:11,060
Royals four, New York three, eighth inning.

1787
02:23:11,060 --> 02:23:22,060
Ball out of play on the check swing.

1788
02:23:22,060 --> 02:23:30,060
Yankees have out hit their opponent, and it's the sixth.

1789
02:23:30,060 --> 02:23:32,060
Here's the motion by Spudoff.

1790
02:23:32,060 --> 02:23:44,060
Here's a bounding ball passed around, Patek charges near second, slips it over to Mayberry, got him.

1791
02:23:44,060 --> 02:23:50,060
Here's Aske Gammel, who has a lot of power.

1792
02:23:50,060 --> 02:23:58,060
Aske with a single to second, he's flat out the next two times, once to center, once to left.

1793
02:23:58,060 --> 02:24:05,060
Royals ahead, four, three, it's the evening, the Yankees have bat, they've got the bases empty and all the way.

1794
02:24:05,060 --> 02:24:13,060
Gammel is scraping around now with his spikes not quite set against the left-hander, Spudoff.

1795
02:24:13,060 --> 02:24:18,060
Aske started because a right-hander started for KC, but Smartins kept him in there.

1796
02:24:18,060 --> 02:24:22,060
Here's a little number hit foul back in the play.

1797
02:24:22,060 --> 02:24:30,060
That one just skidded off the end of the bat.

1798
02:24:30,060 --> 02:24:39,060
And we'll get an inspection of the baseball by Larry Barnett.

1799
02:24:39,060 --> 02:24:49,060
And he'll toss that one out of play.

1800
02:24:49,060 --> 02:24:54,060
Gammel leaning in, waiting on a strike one delivery, swings and fouls it back to the screen.

1801
02:24:54,060 --> 02:24:57,060
Track two on Aske.

1802
02:24:57,060 --> 02:25:06,060
Since they've remodeled Yankee Stadium, Gammel has hit some of the longest drives in that ballpark.

1803
02:25:06,060 --> 02:25:11,060
Started out in the nationally with a cut, then to Philly, then to Cleveland, and from there to the Yankees.

1804
02:25:11,060 --> 02:25:14,060
Here's the strike two pitch.

1805
02:25:14,060 --> 02:25:18,060
Outside, Spudoff tried for the far corner and didn't grab it.

1806
02:25:18,060 --> 02:25:22,060
One and two to count on Gammel. Four-three, Royals lead the Yankees.

1807
02:25:22,060 --> 02:25:27,060
Yankees lead in the American League Championship Series, one victory to none.

1808
02:25:27,060 --> 02:25:32,060
Here's a bombing ball at third. Deeper spread. Has it. Long throw to Mayberry.

1809
02:25:32,060 --> 02:25:41,060
Not a very easy play for Brett. A high hopper deep at the back.

1810
02:25:41,060 --> 02:25:49,060
And they are two away.

1811
02:25:49,060 --> 02:25:54,060
Interesting matchup there between the two third baseman.

1812
02:25:54,060 --> 02:26:00,060
George Brett's native has forgotten his first inning yesterday. He's playing well down there now.

1813
02:26:00,060 --> 02:26:03,060
Here's Willie Randolph now home for three.

1814
02:26:03,060 --> 02:26:09,060
Right hand batting second baseman takes the strike.

1815
02:26:09,060 --> 02:26:14,060
Gammel the only Yankee without hitting the two games.

1816
02:26:14,060 --> 02:26:20,060
Spudoff kicks a little bit. There's a change up that's small.

1817
02:26:20,060 --> 02:26:27,060
One and one they got on Randolph.

1818
02:26:27,060 --> 02:26:30,060
Wind up the pitch. There's a change up that comes in high. Two and one.

1819
02:26:30,060 --> 02:26:35,060
Randolph and Nettles that may be outstanding defensive plays on the series so far.

1820
02:26:35,060 --> 02:26:42,060
Nettles catching a foul fly near the fence. Randolph throwing out Mayberry in the last half inning.

1821
02:26:42,060 --> 02:26:54,060
Here's a fastball wide. Three and one they got on Willie.

1822
02:26:54,060 --> 02:26:59,060
Twenty-two years old Willie Randolph waiting. And he takes a walk.

1823
02:26:59,060 --> 02:27:07,060
Spudoff missed the far corner. Oh it's two out. Randolph draws a fast.

1824
02:27:07,060 --> 02:27:10,060
That'll be the second walk off the reliever Spudoff.

1825
02:27:10,060 --> 02:27:14,060
Stanley has been called back for the Vachelou Panella.

1826
02:27:14,060 --> 02:27:17,060
Will now be inserted as a pass batter.

1827
02:27:17,060 --> 02:27:24,060
And we'll get the customary a new rule here on the post.

1828
02:27:24,060 --> 02:27:30,060
I had two for four in the game yesterday.

1829
02:27:30,060 --> 02:27:33,060
Both of them single.

1830
02:27:33,060 --> 02:27:39,060
And we've got a little confab out there on the mound.

1831
02:27:39,060 --> 02:27:45,060
Martinez, Brett, Spudoff talking over the situation.

1832
02:27:45,060 --> 02:27:49,060
Now Martinez comes back.

1833
02:27:49,060 --> 02:27:55,060
Now he leaves and I move.

1834
02:27:55,060 --> 02:27:59,060
I think we're going to get a message.

1835
02:27:59,060 --> 02:28:03,060
Dean Michael I believe running down to say something to Elton Howard.

1836
02:28:03,060 --> 02:28:08,060
And Elton will relay that message to Randolph at first base.

1837
02:28:08,060 --> 02:28:11,060
That's a very unusual maneuver in a baseball game Ned.

1838
02:28:11,060 --> 02:28:15,060
Well, Dick Michael had to get into a serious level.

1839
02:28:15,060 --> 02:28:20,060
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

1840
02:28:20,060 --> 02:28:32,060
Now Panella has stepped away from the plate and Dick Houser is having a little tic-tac-tac with him.

1841
02:28:32,060 --> 02:28:39,060
Well they say don't take a chance if you're not quite sure ask and get it from the horse's mouth.

1842
02:28:39,060 --> 02:28:46,060
Now it's Panella at the plate. It's 281 in the regular season.

1843
02:28:46,060 --> 02:28:53,060
Out there the year before with an inner ear problem.

1844
02:28:53,060 --> 02:28:58,060
Digging in now standing deep at the plate and they flip this over to first base.

1845
02:28:58,060 --> 02:29:01,060
They're trying to keep Randolph close. He's back in time.

1846
02:29:01,060 --> 02:29:06,060
Royals lead New York 4-3The Yankees are batting in the evening here in Kansas City.

1847
02:29:06,060 --> 02:29:11,060
Two out on the 91st base.

1848
02:29:11,060 --> 02:29:17,060
Another throw to first and he's back.

1849
02:29:17,060 --> 02:29:24,060
Randolph with 37 steals this year. He was caught 12 times and four out of five against the Royals.

1850
02:29:24,060 --> 02:29:30,060
He's got a good lead. He doesn't go to pitches of strike.

1851
02:29:30,060 --> 02:29:39,060
He went off, flipped the fastball through there and hit the outside corner on Panella.

1852
02:29:39,060 --> 02:29:47,060
Two out, walk to Randolph putting the tying run on the bases of the Yankees in the eighth inning.

1853
02:29:47,060 --> 02:29:51,060
Set, here's the pitch. It's a pitch out but he's not moving.

1854
02:29:51,060 --> 02:29:54,060
Well the count is one and one.

1855
02:29:54,060 --> 02:30:02,060
That is very deep at third and as you would imagine he's guarding the line here in the late innings.

1856
02:30:02,060 --> 02:30:07,060
Now Panella digging in waiting. It's a one-one delivery coming up.

1857
02:30:07,060 --> 02:30:11,060
Here it is. He takes the ball outside. That looks like a change.

1858
02:30:11,060 --> 02:30:18,060
Two and one. They count on Luke Panella.

1859
02:30:18,060 --> 02:30:30,060
And Martinez wants another confab with his pitcher's split-off.

1860
02:30:30,060 --> 02:30:37,060
Buck coming behind the plate again and Panella steps out.

1861
02:30:37,060 --> 02:30:45,060
Randolph trying to lengthen his lead at first base.

1862
02:30:45,060 --> 02:30:50,060
Now split-off, the left-hander looks over there and the pitch. Panella takes the ball outside.

1863
02:30:50,060 --> 02:30:56,060
Three and one.

1864
02:30:56,060 --> 02:31:04,060
Working carefully on Lou and now he's gotten behind him.

1865
02:31:04,060 --> 02:31:09,060
Mayberry holding on the back with Randolph. He's got a longer lead.

1866
02:31:09,060 --> 02:31:17,060
And the pitch is swung on five-all instead of field. Down goes back. He's there. He has it for them.

1867
02:31:17,060 --> 02:31:21,060
No runs, no hits, no errors, one man left.

1868
02:31:21,060 --> 02:31:26,060
In the middle of the eighth inning, Kansas mid-4, New York 3.

1869
02:31:26,060 --> 02:31:31,060
We've given you the scores of games in the National Football League periodically.

1870
02:31:31,060 --> 02:31:34,060
Let's take a look at the standings.

1871
02:31:34,060 --> 02:31:39,060
In the American Conference East, Baltimore is the leader by one game over New England.

1872
02:31:39,060 --> 02:31:43,060
Baltimore has won four and lost one. New England is three and two.

1873
02:31:43,060 --> 02:31:47,060
Buffalo and Miami are two and threeThe Jets are one and four.

1874
02:31:47,060 --> 02:31:50,060
In the Central, Cincinnati and Houston are both four and one.

1875
02:31:50,060 --> 02:31:55,060
Cleveland has won two and lost three. And Pittsburgh is one and four.

1876
02:31:55,060 --> 02:31:58,060
In the West, Oakland is the leader with a four and one record.

1877
02:31:58,060 --> 02:32:02,060
Denver and San Diego are three and two. Kansas City is one and four.

1878
02:32:02,060 --> 02:32:05,060
And Tampa Bay is oh and five.

1879
02:32:05,060 --> 02:32:08,060
In the National East, Dallas is the leader at five and oh.

1880
02:32:08,060 --> 02:32:11,060
The only unbeaten untied team in the National Football League.

1881
02:32:11,060 --> 02:32:15,060
St. Louis is four and one. Washington is three and two.

1882
02:32:15,060 --> 02:32:18,060
Philadelphia is two and three. And the Giants are oh and five.

1883
02:32:18,060 --> 02:32:24,060
In the Central, Minnesota is four and oh. Chicago is three and two.

1884
02:32:24,060 --> 02:32:26,060
Detroit and Green Bay are two and three.

1885
02:32:26,060 --> 02:32:33,060
In the West, Los Angeles is three wins, no losses in a tie. San Francisco is three and one.

1886
02:32:33,060 --> 02:32:38,060
Those two teams will meet at Memorial College Stadium in Los Angeles Monday night.

1887
02:32:38,060 --> 02:32:47,060
New Orleans is two and three. Atlanta is one and four. And Seattle is oh and five.

1888
02:32:47,060 --> 02:32:59,060
Two errors by Munson. One by Chambliss and one by the now departed George Sumpfret family.

1889
02:32:59,060 --> 02:33:04,060
We've got words from the press box in relation to Mr. Squillof.

1890
02:33:04,060 --> 02:33:08,060
He has now gone to the market for a charity video.

1891
02:33:08,060 --> 02:33:12,060
Sean is two and 27 when he's home after the break.

1892
02:33:12,060 --> 02:33:17,060
In the finger of his throwing hand, here's McRae to lead it off.

1893
02:33:17,060 --> 02:33:21,060
Kansas City ahead at four to three over New York.

1894
02:33:21,060 --> 02:33:24,060
Mason now at shortstop replacing Stanley for the Yankees.

1895
02:33:24,060 --> 02:33:28,060
Kid Rowe on the mound, but it is McRae hits one down to a third.

1896
02:33:28,060 --> 02:33:35,060
Nettles has it wide at the back, flips it over to Chambliss and is one away.

1897
02:33:35,060 --> 02:33:39,060
Well here is the hitting hero so far for the Royals coming up.

1898
02:33:39,060 --> 02:33:45,060
Tom Polkett, he's had a single and a double and he's driven in two runs.

1899
02:33:45,060 --> 02:33:57,060
He's the only Royal with more than one hit.

1900
02:33:57,060 --> 02:34:00,060
Left hand batting, Polkett at the break.

1901
02:34:00,060 --> 02:34:04,060
Kid Rowe in relief for Spigaroa, he came on in the sixth inning.

1902
02:34:04,060 --> 02:34:14,060
Right hander kicks and fires, it's a curve in close. All one to count.

1903
02:34:14,060 --> 02:34:18,060
Royals four, Yankees three in the eighth.

1904
02:34:18,060 --> 02:34:29,060
Outside fastball two and O.

1905
02:34:29,060 --> 02:34:37,060
Left hander batting, waiting on the next one, here it comes. He takes the wide one, three and all to count.

1906
02:34:37,060 --> 02:34:47,060
Well the seven runs in the game are charged to the two starting pitches so far.

1907
02:34:47,060 --> 02:34:54,060
Here's a ball and it's too close to get the walk.

1908
02:34:54,060 --> 02:34:59,060
The first walk issued by Kid Rowe, he's not allowed to hit it if he took over the sixth.

1909
02:34:59,060 --> 02:35:06,060
It's the third run that the Royals have put on, the other two came on errors.

1910
02:35:06,060 --> 02:35:12,060
Here's Frank White who is 0-3 in this game.

1911
02:35:12,060 --> 02:35:20,060
Still looking for his first hit in the series, he went 0-2 yesterday.

1912
02:35:20,060 --> 02:35:25,060
Polkett trying to get a lead, he's not off air far, Campbell is holding on the bag with him, right hand batting White at the plate.

1913
02:35:25,060 --> 02:35:33,060
And he takes the ball in close.

1914
02:35:33,060 --> 02:35:38,060
This has been a close game all the way, two nothing Royals, then two to one, then three to two Yankees,

1915
02:35:38,060 --> 02:35:42,060
then two runs in the sixth, then the Royals in front, 4-3, that's the way it stands now.

1916
02:35:42,060 --> 02:35:50,060
Little lob over the first base by Kid Rowe, the runner Polkett backs with ease.

1917
02:35:50,060 --> 02:35:56,060
Yankee outfield is shading White around toward right just slightly, run it goes, a pitch out, he swings and fouls it away.

1918
02:35:56,060 --> 02:36:00,060
White protecting that runner, reached out and fouled it away.

1919
02:36:00,060 --> 02:36:07,060
After months in call for the pitch out, did that very well too, it was away from him but it wasn't a pitch out,

1920
02:36:07,060 --> 02:36:16,060
there was enough away so that he could just fail to distract, he actually threw his bat at it and actually might have saved a runner being thrown out.

1921
02:36:16,060 --> 02:36:27,060
Yankees have smelled out that running in this series a couple of times, very effective with it yesterday.

1922
02:36:27,060 --> 02:36:36,060
White waits on a 1-1 delivery from Kid Rowe, the throw goes to first instead though and Polkett is back easily.

1923
02:36:36,060 --> 02:36:41,060
Kansas City leading 4-3, they're about to be inbidding with the man out and the man out.

1924
02:36:41,060 --> 02:36:46,060
There he goes, the pitch is swung on, hit the right field but it'll be foul.

1925
02:36:46,060 --> 02:36:55,060
Hitting the barrier and follow the season and then bounding back on the playing field where Gambel tosses it back.

1926
02:36:55,060 --> 02:37:02,060
Royals have a lot of hitters who can go to the opposite field, that's the philosophy of the batting coach Charlie Lowe.

1927
02:37:02,060 --> 02:37:13,060
And these players are very high on Charlie, they'll listen to him and they'll follow his precepts as far as hitting is concerned.

1928
02:37:13,060 --> 02:37:20,060
He believes in not letting the batter over swing, meet the ball, not stop at the home run all the time.

1929
02:37:20,060 --> 02:37:27,060
Throw the first, he's back in time.

1930
02:37:27,060 --> 02:37:34,060
Kansas City leads 4-3, HC. Polkett edging off again, not much to believe for him, he doesn't go.

1931
02:37:34,060 --> 02:37:38,060
The pitch is swung on to Lupa, hit over the head of Randolph in the right field.

1932
02:37:38,060 --> 02:37:43,060
Polkett rounding second hits the third, Rivers strips them all back into the second base from Randolph.

1933
02:37:43,060 --> 02:37:58,060
The relay man runs it into the empty area and the Royals have run it to first and third.

1934
02:37:58,060 --> 02:38:01,060
That brings up Freddy Polkett.

1935
02:38:01,060 --> 02:38:13,060
He's had a goal for three in this game, he's tried to set it twice, he was safe on the air.

1936
02:38:13,060 --> 02:38:19,060
Nettles comes over to go for a bit to Tidrow for a moment.

1937
02:38:19,060 --> 02:38:23,060
Potech had one hit for three yesterday.

1938
02:38:23,060 --> 02:38:31,060
He's in the right field in about halfway.

1939
02:38:31,060 --> 02:38:35,060
White's trying to get a lead at first base, doesn't go, it's a very wide hit.

1940
02:38:35,060 --> 02:38:37,060
More one.

1941
02:38:37,060 --> 02:38:45,060
Polkett at third, White at first, one out, Royals lead 4-3, HC.

1942
02:38:45,060 --> 02:38:50,060
Now Nettles about to even with a bag at third.

1943
02:38:50,060 --> 02:38:59,060
He swings and doesn't get it, one and one.

1944
02:38:59,060 --> 02:39:08,060
Kansas City trying to add to that one run margin here in the last half of the eighth inning.

1945
02:39:08,060 --> 02:39:12,060
Tidrow goes to the set position, the one-one pitch coming up, here it is.

1946
02:39:12,060 --> 02:39:16,060
He swings as they face it to right field.

1947
02:39:16,060 --> 02:39:25,060
Polkett, there goes White to third, now Potech going to second is the wildest film, Wilde and holding at third will be the man there.

1948
02:39:25,060 --> 02:39:45,060
A run in, 5-3, Royals.

1949
02:39:45,060 --> 02:39:51,060
That will be scored as a single and an error charged to gamble who charged the ball and bobbled it.

1950
02:39:51,060 --> 02:39:57,060
Aligned Potech to second, it'll be an RBI for Freddie.

1951
02:39:57,060 --> 02:40:03,060
5-3, the Royals in the lead.

1952
02:40:03,060 --> 02:40:07,060
Runners at second and third still one away.

1953
02:40:07,060 --> 02:40:11,060
Martinez-Cabata, that is the fifth Yankee error in the game.

1954
02:40:11,060 --> 02:40:17,060
That breaks the American League record in the playoff series for team errors in one game.

1955
02:40:17,060 --> 02:40:30,060
Here's a cut and a chip foul off the middleman.

1956
02:40:30,060 --> 02:40:33,060
The Royals now have eight hits to push their five runs in.

1957
02:40:33,060 --> 02:40:36,060
They've got a two-run lead, 5-3.

1958
02:40:36,060 --> 02:40:41,060
The Yankees continue to play their infield and close.

1959
02:40:41,060 --> 02:40:47,060
White to third, Potech with a big lead at second, Jibralt pitches, Martinez swings and misses on a breaking ball.

1960
02:40:47,060 --> 02:40:55,060
Strike two.

1961
02:40:55,060 --> 02:41:07,060
Nobody's going right down the Yankee bullpen.

1962
02:41:07,060 --> 02:41:12,060
Jibralt ready, delivers, Martinez has thrown top five back at first, Cabata's digging hard.

1963
02:41:12,060 --> 02:41:14,060
He has, he can't get it.

1964
02:41:14,060 --> 02:41:21,060
This one run, White scores, it comes to Potech, he scores, the ball goes to Mason, he's chasing the runner back to first base.

1965
02:41:21,060 --> 02:41:26,060
Martinez makes it safely, Hunches in all of a knotty tie.

1966
02:41:26,060 --> 02:41:45,060
Two more runs in and the Royals win the Yankees, seven degrees.

1967
02:41:45,060 --> 02:41:52,060
These hits that the Royals have been getting early are just like the ones the Yankees were getting earlier, little pop flies over the infield,

1968
02:41:52,060 --> 02:41:58,060
but I think the Yankees have just compoverated themselves so much in the field they don't know what to do with.

1969
02:41:58,060 --> 02:42:02,060
Here's Jim Walford at the plate, now the leadoff man, seven and three, the Royals ahead.

1970
02:42:02,060 --> 02:42:05,060
Here's the pitch in too close.

1971
02:42:05,060 --> 02:42:08,060
Seven runs and nine hits and no errors for Chandler City.

1972
02:42:08,060 --> 02:42:14,060
The Yankees have three runs in it, they've made five errors.

1973
02:42:14,060 --> 02:42:20,060
After the first man in this inning, the eighth went out, Oak got walked, White singles in in the third.

1974
02:42:20,060 --> 02:42:28,060
He came home on a single by Potech, Potech put the second on the error by Gabbard and the both came in on a single by Martinez.

1975
02:42:28,060 --> 02:42:32,060
Monty Monty's got the goal at Randolph, he goes to Mason for one.

1976
02:42:32,060 --> 02:42:39,060
Here's no relay, it's a roll by Martinez, gets to Mason from relaying and picking up the V.P.

1977
02:42:39,060 --> 02:42:44,060
The goal is one on, two out, and the batter will be Cowan.

1978
02:42:44,060 --> 02:42:47,060
Let's pause ten seconds for station identification.

1979
02:42:47,060 --> 02:42:50,060
This is the CBS Radio Network.

1980
02:42:50,060 --> 02:42:55,060
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

1981
02:43:03,060 --> 02:43:07,060
Here's Cowan's at the plate now, he's had a single and four turns at bat.

1982
02:43:07,060 --> 02:43:11,060
He's taking the scoring of the two runs in the opening inning.

1983
02:43:11,060 --> 02:43:14,060
73, the Royals in the lead in the eighth.

1984
02:43:14,060 --> 02:43:18,060
There goes the runner, the pitch is taken and Mocken's dead handle of all.

1985
02:43:18,060 --> 02:43:24,060
If he tried it slow, it got out of his mitt and bounced almost exactly to first base in South territory.

1986
02:43:24,060 --> 02:43:35,060
That'll be a steal for Jim Walton.

1987
02:43:35,060 --> 02:43:46,060
Three stolen bases by the Royals, two scoring errors by Mocken in this case.

1988
02:43:46,060 --> 02:43:55,060
Mid-roll still working and the pitch is one on a bombing ball and nettles, good stop, throw to first to Chambliss and the inning's over.

1989
02:43:55,060 --> 02:44:08,060
However, the Royals come up with three, three runs on the three hits, one error, one man left, and at the end of eight innings, Royals seven, New York three.

1990
02:44:08,060 --> 02:44:20,060
Lipster quarterback Terry Bradshaw was injured and taken from the field on the stretcher and loaded onto an ambulance on Sunday, early in the fourth quarter of the Brown Steelers game at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.

1991
02:44:20,060 --> 02:44:29,060
With about ten minutes to play in the game, Bradshaw went back to pass and was sacked by Brown's defensive end Joe Jones.

1992
02:44:29,060 --> 02:44:34,060
The only problem is Jones slammed Bradshaw's head into the ground while taking him down.

1993
02:44:34,060 --> 02:44:40,060
Our Steelers club spokesman says first report had Bradshaw suffering a back injury.

1994
02:44:40,060 --> 02:44:48,060
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Steve Vodkowski suffered a knee injury in the game against New Orleans. He left the field before halftime.

1995
02:44:48,060 --> 02:44:54,060
The second year started from California, went down on a play which the Saints were penalized for face masking.

1996
02:44:54,060 --> 02:45:00,060
The quarterback completed four of seven passing attempts for 49 yards before leaving the game.

1997
02:45:00,060 --> 02:45:07,060
So, come Sunday for a couple of quarterbacks in the National Football League.

1998
02:45:07,060 --> 02:45:16,060
Well, what's next for baseball fans once the public season games end? That's easyThe Hot Soap League.

1999
02:45:16,060 --> 02:45:25,060
As long as it's a fun time, we'll seasonally add trades, potential trades, expansion, food to discuss, free agents, and rookies to talk about.

2000
02:45:25,060 --> 02:45:34,060
What's the one thing that will make your Hot Soap League season more comfortable? Well, one is knowing that you've already made plans for your season tickets for 1977.

2001
02:45:34,060 --> 02:45:43,060
Those plans are as close as a telephone. Make a call to any club's ticket department and have your tickets set aside and do it right away.

2002
02:45:43,060 --> 02:45:47,060
Businesses will find their season tickets very useful and entertaining.

2003
02:45:47,060 --> 02:45:55,060
The proceeding has been brought to you on behalf of Nature League Baseball.

2004
02:45:55,060 --> 02:46:03,060
New picture for Kansas City with the Yankees batting and the Knights hitting and the Royals leading 73.

2005
02:46:03,060 --> 02:46:13,060
The left hand is Steve Mangori, who during the 76 season picked up 10 plays and had a record of five wins and five defeats.

2006
02:46:13,060 --> 02:46:22,060
Enjoy a native of Kansas City, Missouri, getting a relief assignment here in the second game of the championship series.

2007
02:46:22,060 --> 02:46:32,060
Murdoch went five and two-thirds innings, and he allowed no runs, struck out two and walked two.

2008
02:46:32,060 --> 02:46:36,060
Gave up four hits.

2009
02:46:36,060 --> 02:46:40,060
Mickey Revers will lead it off in the ninth.

2010
02:46:40,060 --> 02:46:45,060
Seven-three, the Royals aheadThe left-handed pitches and Revers hits a bounding ball to short.

2011
02:46:45,060 --> 02:46:48,060
Kotech charges, fires to Mayberry. He comes.

2012
02:46:48,060 --> 02:46:54,060
Just a speedy river by a half-a-step at first base.

2013
02:46:54,060 --> 02:46:58,060
It's been Leonard, Lindhorn, and Mangori.

2014
02:46:58,060 --> 02:47:04,060
For the Royals, the Yankees have used two pitches, Bigarow and Kiddrow.

2015
02:47:04,060 --> 02:47:17,060
Here's Roy White, the quick batter. Roy's had a single and double on the walk, and he's fly to right.

2016
02:47:17,060 --> 02:47:19,060
He takes the strike.

2017
02:47:19,060 --> 02:47:26,060
Here's the on CBS radio. It'll be the Phillies at Cincinnati at 3.05 Eastern and 2.05 Central.

2018
02:47:26,060 --> 02:47:31,060
And Kansas City at Yankee Stadium at 8.05 Eastern and 7.05 Central.

2019
02:47:31,060 --> 02:47:49,060
There's a cut in the midst by White. Strike two, the count on Roy.

2020
02:47:49,060 --> 02:47:54,060
Digging in right-handed, now one out of the ninth innings, seven-three Kansas City lead.

2021
02:47:54,060 --> 02:48:00,060
It's the school ball bending down and away from the right-hand batter.

2022
02:48:00,060 --> 02:48:06,060
Mangori, M-I-N-G-O-R-I, Steve Mangori.

2023
02:48:06,060 --> 02:48:16,060
Here's a curve in too close, 2-2.

2024
02:48:16,060 --> 02:48:19,060
Be with the Indians for a couple of years.

2025
02:48:19,060 --> 02:48:23,060
Now checking his time with Buck Martinez on the 2-2 pitch.

2026
02:48:23,060 --> 02:48:29,060
White swings with a long foul drive. It'll be in the seat.

2027
02:48:29,060 --> 02:48:33,060
Well out in front of that one and pulled it too much.

2028
02:48:33,060 --> 02:48:40,060
Royals got two in the first, two in the sixthThe two in the sixth turned it into the lead, 4-3 at that point.

2029
02:48:40,060 --> 02:48:44,060
And they batted three in the eighth inning, and now the Yankees are batting in the ninth.

2030
02:48:44,060 --> 02:48:57,060
A lot of play. It'll be on the screen behind the plate. 2-2 to count on White.

2031
02:48:57,060 --> 02:49:03,060
Field to left, the infield back at this stage of the game, and Brett guarding the line at third.

2032
02:49:03,060 --> 02:49:07,060
White spreading out, waiting on the left-hand reliever, Mangori.

2033
02:49:07,060 --> 02:49:11,060
Going to wind up the pitch. He takes the ball, and it almost hit him, a breaking pitch.

2034
02:49:11,060 --> 02:49:14,060
Full count on Roy.

2035
02:49:14,060 --> 02:49:22,060
He's been just about the most interested Yankee hitter in these two games.

2036
02:49:22,060 --> 02:49:27,060
Meaning and waiting, the full count delivery. He swings as they fly, lifted a set of cow-inches there.

2037
02:49:27,060 --> 02:49:30,060
He's waiting. He has it.

2038
02:49:30,060 --> 02:49:35,060
Two out.

2039
02:49:35,060 --> 02:49:38,060
Thurmond Munson, the catcher.

2040
02:49:38,060 --> 02:49:41,060
Hard hitting, the catcher stepping in now.

2041
02:49:41,060 --> 02:49:45,060
One hit and four trips. He's hit into double play to short.

2042
02:49:45,060 --> 02:49:56,060
He's doubled, hit into fourth out to short, and bounced back to the pitcher.

2043
02:49:56,060 --> 02:50:04,060
Wind up on the fifth. Munson, catch the foul.

2044
02:50:04,060 --> 02:50:11,060
Seven for the Royals, three for the New York Yankees, two down on the ninth inning for the Yankees.

2045
02:50:11,060 --> 02:50:16,060
Mangori trying to get that final out here in Royals Stadium.

2046
02:50:16,060 --> 02:50:19,060
Trying to tie the series at one victory a thief.

2047
02:50:19,060 --> 02:50:26,060
Wind up the pitch. He takes the strike on the inside corner, breaking ball.

2048
02:50:26,060 --> 02:50:33,060
Munson turning and giving Larry Barnett the family look there.

2049
02:50:33,060 --> 02:50:36,060
Now steps out for a moment.

2050
02:50:36,060 --> 02:50:45,060
Seven runs, nine hits for the RoyalsThe Yankees have three runs and ten hits.

2051
02:50:45,060 --> 02:50:48,060
Mangori tugging his cap.

2052
02:50:48,060 --> 02:50:51,060
He needs one more strike.

2053
02:50:51,060 --> 02:50:55,060
Two down on the ninth inning.

2054
02:50:55,060 --> 02:50:58,060
Here's the motion. Here's the pitch.

2055
02:50:58,060 --> 02:51:01,060
Swing, there's a fly ball to center. Off the glove of Patek.

2056
02:51:01,060 --> 02:51:06,060
He went back and almost had it. Hit his glove and bounded away from him.

2057
02:51:06,060 --> 02:51:09,060
Little humpback liner.

2058
02:51:09,060 --> 02:51:14,060
Already got back, got his glove on it, but couldn't hang on. And the Yankees stay alive here.

2059
02:51:14,060 --> 02:51:18,060
That'll be a single.

2060
02:51:18,060 --> 02:51:23,060
Yankees picking up their 11th hit.

2061
02:51:23,060 --> 02:51:27,060
Munson getting his second. There are four Yankees with two hits.

2062
02:51:27,060 --> 02:51:32,060
White, Munson, Shambliss, and May. And they all got in order there.

2063
02:51:32,060 --> 02:51:35,060
Here's Shambliss up now.

2064
02:51:35,060 --> 02:51:40,060
That's hand bat at Springs. There's a base hit to right fieldThe Yankees won't give up.

2065
02:51:40,060 --> 02:51:43,060
Stopping at second is Munson on the right field single.

2066
02:51:43,060 --> 02:51:51,060
Shambliss, the first man with three hits. And now Carlos May ready to step in.

2067
02:51:51,060 --> 02:51:55,060
Two on and two down on the ninth inning.

2068
02:51:55,060 --> 02:51:58,060
The 12th Yankee hit.

2069
02:51:58,060 --> 02:52:03,060
And there's a conference for bound. Patek comes in to talk with Mingori.

2070
02:52:03,060 --> 02:52:08,060
Martinez goes out and talks with Mingori.

2071
02:52:08,060 --> 02:52:12,060
The next game in New York, it'll be Doc Ellis against Andy Haslip.

2072
02:52:12,060 --> 02:52:16,060
That'll be on Tuesday.

2073
02:52:16,060 --> 02:52:21,060
All in bird, working in the Royal Bullpen now.

2074
02:52:21,060 --> 02:52:27,060
And here is Carlos May, the left hand batter, designated hitter for Billy Martin's team tonight.

2075
02:52:27,060 --> 02:52:31,060
He takes the full serve at fine for Mark.

2076
02:52:31,060 --> 02:52:33,060
Strike one, the count on May.

2077
02:52:33,060 --> 02:52:36,060
Seven to three, the Royals lead. Two downs.

2078
02:52:36,060 --> 02:52:39,060
Two men on for the Yankees in their ninth inning.

2079
02:52:39,060 --> 02:52:42,060
They're trying to mount a late rally here.

2080
02:52:42,060 --> 02:52:46,060
Swing and a miss. That was a serve that came in high.

2081
02:52:46,060 --> 02:52:55,060
Two strikes on May.

2082
02:52:55,060 --> 02:53:00,060
Down to the cap by Mingori.

2083
02:53:00,060 --> 02:53:03,060
Little left hand is checking his side now with Martinez.

2084
02:53:03,060 --> 02:53:17,060
He said, he said, he said swing and a miss. It's over.

2085
02:53:17,060 --> 02:53:21,060
In the ninth inning, New York, no runs. Two hits.

2086
02:53:21,060 --> 02:53:26,060
No Kansas City errors. Two Yankees left on base.

2087
02:53:26,060 --> 02:53:31,060

2090
02:53:43,060 --> 02:53:47,060
As the action will resume Tuesday at the Yankee Stadium.

2094
02:54:03,060 --> 02:54:08,060
So a big win for the Kansas City Royals after the New York Yankees came back.

2095
02:54:08,060 --> 02:54:13,060
And took the lead after Kansas City held an early lead.

2096
02:54:13,060 --> 02:54:21,060
But then the Yankees couldn't hold it and some fine hitting Tom Poquette driving in two of those seven Kansas City runs.

2097
02:54:21,060 --> 02:54:27,060
