00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
The New York Yankees face the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn for game 4 of the 1949 World Series on October 8th.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
The Yankees lead the best of seven series, two games to one.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
This is the mutual radio broadcast of game number four featuring announcers Mel Allen and Red Barber.

So enjoy the tops in sports by tuning in Gillette's cavalcade of sports the year around.

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
This series, there's a big hand for all these Dodger stars of 1916.

14
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:47,000
And Miss Gladys Gooding is playing all Langsine. Jeff Pepper, Knap Rucker, Zach Wheat, Otto Miller, Chief Myers, Rupe Markward,

15
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
more names to conjure with as you look back through baseball history.

16
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And those who were unable to attend today, Jack Coombs, now baseball coach at Duke University, Duster Mails,

17
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,000
now doing work on the West Coast, Fred Merkel, first baseman, now living in Daytona Beach, Florida.

18
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000
No longer living are manager Wilbert Robinson of that 16 team, Ed Appleton, a pitcher, first baseman Jake Dorbert,

19
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000
third baseman Harry Mowry, and Sherrod Smith. As a matter of fact, Sherrod Smith just passed away not long ago.

20
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:28,000
And if you want to go back into history, in that 1916 World Series, there was a guy in there pitching named Babe Ruth for the Boston Red Sox.

21
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,000
And it was in that series when the longest game ever played in the history of the fall classic.

22
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
The Dodgers lost to the Red Sox in the 14th inning.

23
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Babe Ruth, who won the 2-1 decision, passed on last year, and Sherry Smith, who pitched for the Dodgers in that game, also passed along recently.

24
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000
And now the lineups for today's game. For the New York Yankees, Phil Rizzuto leading off playing shortstop, hitting second,

25
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
and playing first base Tommy Henrik. Batting third is Yogi Berra and catching.

26
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Hitting fourth, Joe DiMaggio, center field. Hitting fifth, Bobby Brown, third base.

27
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Hitting sixth, Gene Woodling, left field. Batting seventh, Cliff Mapes, right field.

28
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Hitting eighth, Jerry Coleman, second base. In the ninth spot of the order in pitching, Eddie Lopat, who won 15 and lost seven for the Yankees in the regular season.

29
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:30,000
For the Dodgers, a change by Bert Schotten, leading off, as usual, being captain and shortstop, Peewee Reese.

30
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Hitting second, Eddie Mixis, third base. In the third spot of the order will be Duke Snyder, playing center field.

31
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,000
In the cleanup spot, Jackie Robinson, second base. Hitting fifth, Gil Hodges, first base.

32
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Batting sixth, Louis Almo, left field. Hitting seventh today will be Roy Campanella, catching.

33
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:03,000
In the eighth spot of the order, Gene Hermanski, playing right field. And in the ninth spot, pitching, Don Newcomb.

34
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Kyle Farillo normally would be playing today, but that injury of his, that groin injury, has hampered him considerably.

35
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:21,000
He has attempted magnificently to play in the series for the Dodgers. A great outfielder, a great thrower, and a fellow who had been murdering that ball in the last couple of months of the season.

36
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:32,000
But when injuries hamper you, it's just rough and tough. And though he gave it a great try, Bert Schotten realizes he had to go with Gene Hermanski today in place of Farillo in right field.

37
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Gene, a left-hand batter, against a left-hand pitcher. But sometimes there are certain left-handed batters who can hit left-hand pitchers, as well as others.

38
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Particularly when it comes to the type of stuff a left-hander delivers, and Lopat is a slow-stuck type pitcher.

39
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:57,000
The umpires for today at the plate will be Lou Jordan of the National League. At first base will be Cal Hubbard of the American League.

40
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:06,000
At second base will be Beans Ritten of the National League. And at third base, Art Passerella of the American League.

41
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:15,000
The foul-line umpires will be Ed Hurley and George Barr with Hurley in left field today and Barr in right field today.

42
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:22,000
The umpires are moving down to their positions after the meeting at home plate with Reese and Stengel exchanging batting orders.

43
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Stengel stops and Lopat chats with him and the smile on his face and then continues to warm up. Don Newcomb's still warming up.

44
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:36,000
You know, among other things I never knew until now is the fact that since 1910 under our American economic system,

45
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:44,000
we have more than doubled the production of each of us for every hour we work and in the same period have reduced our average work week by 18 hours.

46
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:52,000
This spectacular progress, unmatched anywhere else in the world, has gone hand in hand with the preservation of our basic freedoms.

47
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,000
We still have a long ways to go, a lot of faults to correct, economic, human and otherwise,

48
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:06,000
but the fact remains that our American economic system has brought more benefits to more people than any other ever devised by man.

51
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:29,000
The umpires have taken their places. In a moment we shall have the playing of the national anthem by Miss Gladys Gooding,

52
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:38,000
whom Red told you about yesterday, who sings and the anthem and plays the organ here at Ebbets Field.

53
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:49,000
And while there go the Dodgers trotting out on the field, and as they rush to their positions, we pause 10 seconds for station identification.

54
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

55
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Hear the World Series exclusively on WOR. See it on WOR-TV, Channel 9, WOR and WOR-FM, New York.

56
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,000
The Dodgers are out on the field. Bill Rizzuto is coming out of the Yankee dugout with a couple of bats.

57
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Don Ucom walks out to the hill. And now, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Gladys Gooding and our national anthem.

58
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:47,000
And now, sing the national anthem.

59
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
The Reds are out on the field.

60
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:08,000
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the Dodgers are out on the field.

61
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:16,000
And now, sing the national anthem.

62
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:30,000
The Reds are out on the field.

63
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:52,000
And now, sing the national anthem.

64
00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Well, we're all set to go in the fourth game of the World Series. Each of the first three have gone right down to the last pitch.

65
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:09,000
The tension has been terrific. Every one of them decided in the ninth inning and right down to the last pitch before you could know which team had finally won.

66
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:18,000
And now, as we get ready to go, moving into the microphone, a fellow who has done a brilliant job of reporting this World Series,

67
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:26,000
as he has in every previous World Series he's done dating way back to 1935. I refer, of course, to the old redhead, Red Barber.

68
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Thank you, Mel. Just trying to keep up with you. Afternoon, everybody. Big Newcomb is throwing down to Campanella.

69
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Rizzuto is getting ready to be the first hitter for game four. And this program comes to you by authority of the Commissioner of Baseball.

70
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:50,000
It is intended only for the private use of our audience. Any publication or reproduction of this program and commercial use of the program is prohibited.

71
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000
As mal-charged, it's an overcast afternoon. All the folks here, the weather man, says that it will not rain.

72
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:04,000
The temperature is in the middle 70s and the humidity is quite high. And the humidity is expected to get higher.

73
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:12,000
In other words, it's an afternoon for perspiration. The air is quite heavy and quite muggy.

74
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,000
The Yankees, later the three games played, two to one. Rizzuto, who has won for 11 so far.

75
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Small right-hand batter, very active. Big Newcomb coming back for the second time on two days' rest.

76
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Big right-hander throws, fastball inside, ball one. Newcomb and Campanella the battery.

77
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
In field, Hodges at first, Robinson at second, Reese at short.

78
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Eddie Mixers for the left-hander, Eddie Lopat starting for the Yankees. There's a 30s right-hand hitter.

79
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Olmore in left field and Center Snyder in the right field to Hermanski.

80
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Newcomb delivers a fastball strong on a drill for a base hit out into center field.

81
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,000
So Rizzuto comes up with the second hit of the series and begins this ballgame sharply.

82
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:59,000
So Rizzuto opens up with a single, sharply out in the center.

83
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:05,000
One up and one on.

84
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:12,000
The first hit off Newcomb when he started the opening game of the series didn't come until Lindell's single was won out in the second inning.

85
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,000
In other words, Newcomb retired the first four men if you interested in any sort of a comparison such as that.

86
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:26,000
It is no score and time is called for the moment. Campanella is calling over to the Brooklyn bench.

87
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Olmore in left field wants his sunglasses.

88
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:36,000
The sun has not broken through the overcast, but it has made enough penetration to where there is a glare coming down.

89
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,000
So left field Olmore figures that this question is certainly the better part of valor and this World Series game is held up.

90
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Newcomb is now tossing a few pitches down.

91
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Sunglasses have not yet been discovered in the Brooklyn bench to be taken out to left field Olmore who's walked in behind shortstop.

92
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
We might give you a little note on Don Newcomb coming back up to two days rest.

93
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Manager Shutton said before the ball game, we were talking to him, he said that he wasn't going to announce that Newcomb was going to be the starting pitcher,

94
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
but he was going to talk to Newcomb.

95
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
There's Rex Barney loping out with those sunglasses for left field Olmore now.

96
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
And Shutton said that he was going to ask Newcomb how he felt about pitching with two days rest.

97
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,000
If Newcomb said he felt okay, then he'd go.

98
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000
If he said he didn't feel okay with just two days rest, he wouldn't go.

99
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Because said Manager Shutton, when you realize it, it's these players' money that they're playing for.

100
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,000
As a manager, I don't even have a vote for a share.

101
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000
So Newcomb apparently told Manager Shutton he was ready, willing, and able.

102
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000
So here he is on the mound.

103
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Rizzuto has touched him up for a line single.

104
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,000
He's at first base, perhaps the best and most dangerous baserunner for the Yankees, and the batter is Tommy Henry.

105
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Pitch curve low inside for a ball wide.

106
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000
One ball, no strikes.

107
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,000
It's smoky-ish, hazy-ish, very much the overcast high humidity, warm afternoon, temperature in the 70s.

108
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Big crowd on hand, headed by Commissioner Chandler.

109
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Had a lot of dignitaries attending these games.

110
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:30,000
This is Truman, this is Coolidge, ex-President Hoover, the Mayor, of course the Borough Presidents, Jim Lyons of the Bronx, John Cashmore of the Brooklyn.

111
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Now here's the pitch to Henrik, swung on a high foul ball out of play, back to the Brooklyn bench.

112
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,000
One ball, one strike.

113
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:53,000
You can look down seat by seat behind their respective dugouts, and there are the big wheels, of course, of baseball and the many other walks of life.

114
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Tommy Henrik, left-hand batter.

115
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
He has won for 11 at one, beat Newcomb in the first game.

116
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
There's a catch-out, but Rizzuto wasn't going anyplace.

117
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Ball two.

118
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Two balls, one strike.

119
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Frankie Crisetti, with that high piping voice that carries so well, coaching at third.

120
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Very alight, quick moving, quick thinking fellow.

121
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Bill Dickey, one of the great all-time catchers of the game, pushing it first.

122
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Rizzuto leads off, no score, nobody out.

123
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Henrik hits a ground foul, and it dies, it goes over toward the first base there, and rolled right up against the box in front of Commissioner Chandler.

124
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Two balls, two strikes.

125
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Rizzuto, who can scamper.

126
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,000
He bothered Newcomb, if you'll recall, when he got on base in game one of the World Series, back at the stadium.

127
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Rizzuto got on with a, in that first game, with a force-out, sixth inning.

128
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
A two-and-two.

129
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Newcomb checks first pitches, Henrik swings, grounds it, fouls sharply, back to first base.

130
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Ball comes off, first base coach Bill Dickey throws it out, no score.

131
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
It's not safe to raise the company.

132
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Very pleased and privileged to send you this broadcast to the World Series.

133
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Henrik chokes that stick a little bit.

134
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
All reliable, they call him at the stadium.

135
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Newcomb delivers as a ground ball, hit the first, just fouled by a foot.

136
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Big Cal Hubbard, who moves extremely easily for any size man, and especially as big as he is.

137
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Hubbard giving the out sign.

138
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Two balls, two strikes.

139
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:57,000
I remember a few years ago talking to George Hallis, the coach and owner of the Chicago Bears, and I guess about as good a judge of professional football players anybody's ever seen.

140
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:04,000
I asked him who was the toughest football player that he had ever been in contact with and knew anything about.

141
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,000
And Hallis said, let him. He has to say Cal Hubbard.

142
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
The guy at some point at first.

143
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Players don't storm at him too long, we might add in.

144
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Blue jaw to working balls and strikes back of the plate.

145
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Hubbard at first, Riddon at second.

146
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Passarella is at third.

147
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Throw to first, not in time.

148
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Down the left field corner is Ed Hurley, in the right field corner, George Ball.

149
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000
No score.

150
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Newcomb with deliberation, ready to pitch again.

151
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Two, two, does.

152
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Henry hits the ground foul outside first base.

153
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Ball kicks back over.

154
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,000
And first base umpire Hubbard throws her up.

155
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Still two and two.

156
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Henry again spinning on that ball.

157
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Kicked a little dirt on the plate and George brushes it off.

158
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
It is continuing to get brighter and more glarish.

159
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:59,000
The, what did they say, down east in New England, that the sun is burning it off?

160
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
That seems to be what's happening.

161
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:07,000
The other man has certainly not missed a single prediction.

162
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
He said it would finally be clearer this afternoon.

163
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,000
And it's becoming clear right now.

164
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,000
It looks like in another inning or so, it will be completely clear if it keeps on at the present gate.

165
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
All right, Newcomb set two and two.

166
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Nobody out.

167
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
No score on it first.

168
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Throw to first again.

169
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Rizzuto takes his lead.

170
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,000
He's quick.

171
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
He has an extremely rapid lateral move, which any good baserunner must have.

172
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
The pitcher has swung on a high foul ball back of the Yankee dugout.

173
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Still two and two.

174
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Of course, one of the great strengths of humanity is the feeling for other people.

175
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Memory, sentiment.

176
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
That's one of the great strengths of baseball.

177
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,000
And that was certainly very vividly shown before this ballgame began.

178
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000
When, as the guest of President Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Ball Club,

179
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,000
there's numbers who could get here of the 1916 pennant winning team when it is.

180
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Henrik swings a ground ball here in the right field for a base hit.

181
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
The zero goes on to second base, then goes on for third.

182
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
A man's just throw over to third base is not in time.

183
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
And Henrik holds it first.

184
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
That's a single on the right by Henrik.

185
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
And the Yankees are pressing forward with men at first and third and nobody out.

186
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000
And the Brooklyn Bullpen gets up and goes to work.

187
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Joe Hatton, needless to stop throwing to the bullpen, catches Sam Naran.

188
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
So Henrik comes up with a second hit of the World Series.

189
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
It's the second hit of this fourth game and all of his hits are off to Don Newcomb.

190
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
This is a clean single to the right.

191
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Rizzuto, who can run, got a good jump, took the extra base.

192
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Reese comes in from short, talks to Newcomb for the moment.

193
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:48,000
So Newcomb has now got one foot in the pickled bat.

194
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Yogi Bauer catching his third game.

195
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
He has no hits out of six official at bats,

196
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
but he got a very telling base on balls that went out in the ninth inning yesterday.

197
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Outfield toward right, the infield is in double play depth.

198
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Others will give a run to get outs.

199
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Runners at first and third.

200
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Newcomb's pitch low inside, a slider, and Bauer checked his swing in time.

201
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Ball wide. Now Robinson comes in from second base, says something to Don.

202
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Campanello goes out to the mound.

203
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Left-hander Joe Hatton, who has been in the bullpen every day,

204
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
been throwing for the last couple of days, is now throwing today.

205
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
It's no score, but the Yankees are pushing forward here at the opening bell.

206
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
No man retired.

207
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Yogi Bauer, stocky, strong, free-swinging left-hand batter at the plate.

208
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
One ball, no strikes.

209
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
DiMaggio waiting on deck.

210
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Then Bobby Brown.

211
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Rizzuto, who can fly, leading down off third.

212
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,000
He just took the extra base, which is an important thing in this business of baseball.

213
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Henrik, who is a good runner, although not too swift.

214
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
He knows how to run, leads off first, the infield half.

215
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,000
We have the pitches. Swung on, fouled off.

216
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
One ball, one strike.

217
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Nobody has gone down to the Yankee bullpen at all.

218
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
In fact, there's St. Joe Page, probably doesn't even know how to act.

219
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
He's sitting right there against the water cool in the dugout.

220
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,000
I guess he feels a stranger hanging around that dugout.

221
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Quite a job he did yesterday.

222
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Swung on, let's see.

223
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Big Newcomb, ready.

224
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Right-hander pitches. There's a ground foul outside first base.

225
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000
It's one and two.

226
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:34,000
One ball, two strikes.

227
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Don Pulling with the pitchers, Rosenberg.

228
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Rizzuto and Henrik have opened up with singles, if you just joined us,

229
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
on Gillette's broadcast of the World Series.

230
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,000
No score, and the Yankees are trying to give Newcomb a rough time right here at the start.

231
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Casey Stengel walks in front of the dugout, Hollis setting up the bearer.

232
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
The one and two pitch, hit down to third base.

233
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Here comes the throw to the plate, and Rizzuto is caught in a run-up.

234
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Campanella throws the ball back to Mixers, bluffs him into third base,

235
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000
tags him, runs him out of the baseline, runs him out of the baseline,

236
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,000
and Henrik is called out second base, and Robinson tags him, and he's out.

237
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:26,000
So two men are out, two men are out, no score, and Bella winds up at first.

238
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,000
And now we've got a rule bar.

239
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000
The Yankees are claiming, I think, that Jordan called time.

240
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
That's what the Yankees are claiming, and the umpire say, no, he did not call time.

241
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Jordan had to call the out on Rizzuto, who was not tagged, he ran out.

242
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Now let's go back over that play with Rizzuto at third base.

243
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Henrik at first, Bella hit a solid ground ball, shot to the third base to Mixers.

244
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Rizzuto came halfway to the plate and realized he was a dead bird and stopped.

245
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Mixers threw the ball to Campanella.

246
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Campanella running Rizzuto back toward third.

247
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Rizzuto tried to run around Campanella and ran out of line into foul ground

248
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000
and was called out by Jordan.

249
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Henrik, who had turned to the left to fight second base, was out when Campanella threw to Robinson.

250
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
And Henrik immediately started to protest claiming time had been called, but it had not.

251
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,000
So two men are out.

252
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
That's the first Brooklyn double play, no score.

253
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Bella at first to Maggio takes a curve ball low outside for ball one.

254
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Well, you expect things to happen here at Ebbets Field.

255
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
It does sooner or later, and there it was.

256
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
The Yankees got hung up on the bases.

257
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Casey Stengel said, hey, that used to happen when I was at Brooklyn.

258
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Throw, fast ball, it's too low, ball two.

259
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,000
The Yankees in the series had come up with three double plays.

260
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
This is the first one for Brooklyn.

261
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,000
And that double play was the third baseman to the catcher to the second baseman.

262
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Assist for the third baseman, a put out and an assist for the catcher and a put out for the second baseman.

263
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Maggio swings, misses, throw to first base, not in time, Campanella will fire, Dora getting back.

264
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,000
So your double play was five to two to four if you're scoring.

265
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,000
And of course, that takes Newcomb out of quite a hole that was yawning for him.

266
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:20,000
It looked as though the Yankees were just about ready to give him a very bad first inning.

267
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Well, let's see, two down, no score.

268
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,000
DiMaggio up, takes a fast ball outside for ball three and the count is now three and one.

269
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:35,000
DiMaggio has had one hit for 11 official at-bats and that was a dribble single down to third base.

270
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Barrow with a fieldless choice, he's at first base.

271
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Newcomb off the mound, pulling with a handkerchief.

272
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Everybody's perspiring today, not only from the pressure of such a ball game, but from the weather.

273
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,000
High humidity.

274
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,000
At field, deep potluck, there's ball four and Barrow was running.

275
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
DiMaggio takes ball four, this is the first base on balls given up by Newcomb.

276
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000
He gave up no walks in the opening game.

277
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Two men go on, the Yankees are at first and second.

278
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,000
And Bobby Brown, who came up with a money-based hit in the ninth inning.

279
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000
When the two down, he single shot be in the right field.

280
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Brown up, he has one for five, he's a dangerous batter.

281
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Barrow at second, DiMaggio at first.

282
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Two out, outfield toward right.

283
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Brown chokes that stick about three inches.

284
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Slender left hand hitter.

285
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Newcomb pitches, fastball low inside.

286
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,000
That ball hit the dirt, Campanella trapped it.

287
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Plain and fine Jordan examines it, finds it's all right.

288
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
One ball, no strikes.

289
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:13,000
The sun that threatened to burn off the overcast early in this first inning has been unable to do so,

290
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:22,000
and the clouds have moved back in again.

291
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
That ball hit the dirt, Campanella trapped it.

292
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Plain and fine Jordan examines it, finds it's all right.

293
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
One ball, no strikes.

294
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:39,000
The sun that threatened to burn off the overcast early in this first inning has been unable to do so,

295
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:45,000
and the clouds have moved back in again.

296
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Barrow ready to take off on any provocation at second base.

297
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Two down, DiMaggio at first, right side of the infield back on Brown.

298
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Play him to pull.

299
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Young man who continues his studies down in New Orleans to be a doctor up there at the plate, Bobby Brown.

300
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Pitch is low, down by the batter's feet.

301
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Ball two, Campanella again blocks it, it's into the dirt.

302
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Plain and fine Jordan again demands the ball for an inspection, and finds it is scuffed up now and he throws it out.

303
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Two balls, no strikes, and Campanella goes to talk to Newcomb.

304
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Newcomb does not have the sharpness of his control today.

305
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:30,000
That is obvious compared to the way he performed over at the stadium Wednesday.

306
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Two and all, crowd quiet, settle back, ball talk all decked out in Gala red, white, and blue bunny.

307
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Jack Collins and his crew done a fine job.

308
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Groundkeeper Eddie Durham has of course got the field just right.

309
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Little do you think about it, but the World Series is the big moment for the fellow who runs the park and the fellow who runs the field.

310
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Big for everybody.

311
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Now let's see, big Newcomb ready to pitch two and all, does.

312
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Brown takes a high outside pass ball for ball three, so Newcomb is now back in the hole.

313
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,000
The double play alleviated some of the pressure, but then came the walk to DiMaggio.

314
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Time is called, and the pitching coach, Platt Soukforth, goes out to the mound to talk to Newcomb.

315
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Three balls, no strike, left hand to Joe Hatton, who shares the same honor as manager Stengel, being a boy from Oakland, California.

316
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Hatton throwing down the bullpen.

317
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Understand there's a proclamation from Oakland which is to be given tomorrow to Casey Stengel.

318
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:54,000
So Souk is back in the dugout, three balls, no strikes to Brown.

319
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,000
You can rest assured that this is not what it's called, the automatic strike.

320
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Brown has gotten his orders from boss man Casey Stengel.

321
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Big Newcomb set, pitch is three nothing, high outside for ball four, and Brown walks and the bases are loaded.

322
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Sarah, who moved to second on DiMaggio's walk, now moves to third on Brown's walk as DiMaggio moves over to second.

323
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Three men on, and Gene Woodling stepping in.

324
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Had a fine year out on the Pacific Coast last year and is back for another trial in the majors.

325
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Had a very successful workman-like season with the Yankees.

326
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
No score.

327
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Had a double play, two hits, two walks, field of choice, three men are on, two out.

328
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Outfield toward right.

329
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Right now Newcomb's pitch is high outside of fastball for ball one.

330
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000
He hasn't been particularly close to the plate on these walks.

331
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,000
One ball, no strikes.

332
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Big rookie, came up to the ball club in May, wasn't even with it at the start of the season.

333
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000
He's carrying the hopes of Brooklyn trying to get even.

334
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Delivers, too low, over, but low, it's a slide up for ball two.

335
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Two balls, no strikes.

336
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
And Stengel has had a tight raid on these hitters.

337
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
He's just letting Newcomb get into all the trouble that he can.

338
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,000
As they say in baseball, Stengel is saying to it that his hitters do not help the pitcher.

339
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Now that you get a pitcher wild, a lot of managers want batters to take.

340
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:42,000
The two-nothing pitch, in there, there's a throw down to third base, not in time.

341
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Campanella trying to help his pitcher, as the saying goes, tried to pick Barrow off third.

342
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Barrow took a run up the line.

343
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
While the throw was reasonably close, it wasn't dramatically close.

344
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Barrow had to slide back.

345
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
All right, two balls, one strike.

346
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Woodling had the take on just now.

347
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,000
The ten hitter in a crouch, crowds are played from behind the pitches.

348
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Swung on, there's a fireball in the center field.

349
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Snatter going back, back, he's under it, he's got it.

350
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
For the third out, a no-run score.

351
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:23,000
So at the end of half an inning, the score is New York nothing but for nothing.

352
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Friends, I'll never have a better chance to tell you about the whale of a shaving bargain

353
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
that my Gillette folks have dreamed up for series time this year.

354
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Now, call it Gillette's World Series Special.

355
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,000
The razor set that they're talking about on the air, and any storekeeper will know what you mean.

356
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Yep, he'll show you the improved Gillette Super Speed razor set, the shaving buy of your lifetime.

357
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Men, this razor is a beautifully balanced one-piece razor that changes blades instantly

358
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
and shaves like nobody's business.

359
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,000
With it comes a Gillette dispenser filled with ten factory-sharp Gillette blue blades.

360
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Not only that, but the newest thing in razor cases, the durable, transparent styrene case.

361
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Now, all this adds up to a $1.75 value, and it's yours for $1 even.

362
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000
These Gillette Super Speed razor sets are selling like hotcakes.

363
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Better ask for yours right away.

364
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:28,000
The stocky southpaw, Eddie Lopat, who is a pitcher with the same sort of philosophy and stuff

365
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,000
and delivery as Preacher O, although one has been eaten at the bigger end of the trough

366
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
than the other one as far as physique is concerned.

367
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Lopat gives you knuckles, screw balls, slow curves, and uses fastball as a change-up,

368
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,000
as well as trying to pick a corner of the plate once in a while.

369
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Eddie Lopat getting ready. It's his first start in the series.

370
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Back of the plate is Yogi Berra. Henrik at first base, a second Coleman, a short stuff for Zudo,

371
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,000
The third base, and his Brown.

372
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:01,000
In the outfield, it's the same as started yesterday.

373
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:11,000
For the Yankees, in left it is Woodling, in center, DiMaggio, and in right field, Mapes.

374
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Berra takes the last of the warm-up pitches, fires it down to second base.

375
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Reese mixes and snider, hitting for the Dodgers, no score, and Newcomb was really waiting around

376
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:30,000
in hot water, but he didn't get scalded. That double play pulled him out of it.

377
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Reese, who has had two hits for ten at-bats, won a home run.

378
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:42,000
First up, right-hand batter. The Yankee outfield is around toward left.

379
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Left-hander Lopat pitches and gets looked like a slider in up there against the hands for a called strike.

380
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:58,000
He throws some of anything. Knuckles, screwball, sliders, curves.

381
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Stocky left-hander deals. There's a curveball hit out into left center field.

382
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,000
It is in there for a base hit, an extra base. Reese is around first.

383
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,000
She's coming in to second base. DiMaggio takes the ball on the bounce.

384
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:21,000
She's coming to double as Reese comes in standing.

385
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,000
The Brooklyn captain, Pee-wee Reese, just teed off on a curveball and straightened it out,

386
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,000
hung it up the alley and left center field. Woodling went over, couldn't get to the ball,

387
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,000
and then fell to the ground, deliberately to get out of the way of DiMaggio's throw.

388
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:39,000
He promises in game four to be a rot-wiss afternoon before it's concluded.

389
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
The fourth games are oddly enough between the Yankees and the Dodgers.

390
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
They've always taken place at Brooklyn and they've always had something dramatic.

391
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Game four and 41 was the Mickey Orrin third strike. Game four and 47 was the Lavagetto-Bevins affair.

392
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Eddie Mixers hits a ball in front of the plate, spare.

393
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Berra recovers, throws to first base. Mixers is out and Reese is held at second.

394
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000
So, Mixers swinging on the first pitch, beats it right down in front of the plate.

395
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Berra handled himself very well, the catcher firing down the first base from Henry.

396
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:14,000
So, we have one out last to the first, Reese at second, and Snatter, who has one hit for 12 at bats.

397
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000
That can batter. It's all slender.

398
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Right fielder Mates plays him straight away. DiMaggio in center is veered over toward left a little bit.

399
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Left fielder Woodlings straight away.

400
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Time is called, but your low fat wants to talk to his battery mate.

401
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000
So, Yogi goes out to the mound.

402
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Low fatty, no hurry.

403
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:50,000
He fusses with you and tries to finish you, tries to get you off balance and gives you some of that slow stuff.

404
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:55,000
And tries to make you hit a breaking pitch or a bad ball.

405
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Now, if you're itchy up there at the plate, boy, that low fat really won't help you.

406
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,000
See, Snatter leans in, low fat delivers. It's a big curve high outside, ball wide.

407
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Low fat got a big kick out of talking with Mel and me the other day,

408
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
talking about how we try and describe what the pitches are.

409
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,000
And he said, well, when I work, I'll give you boys a workout.

410
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Reese off second, one out, no score.

411
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Left hand to pitches, a fast ball, a slow long hit wide of third, up with it is Brown nicely.

412
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:33,000
The throw over to first base in time. Snatter's out for two steps and Reese is still bothered at second.

413
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Still, two are gone. And Robinson stepping in.

414
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,000
He has one hit for nine at bat so far in the series.

415
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Out the line toward left.

416
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Jake Flippler coaching at first base.

417
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Hollers up second for the plate. Milton Stock coaching at third.

418
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Reese now ready to take off on anything with two out at second base.

419
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000
No score. Low fat who set it right down delivers.

420
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Robinson swings, hits it through to South.

421
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Nice play over to first base, into the day.

422
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Then Henry Joghlet.

423
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Robinson, he's got it.

424
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,000
And Henry Joghlet. Robinson is out.

425
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Henry just did get this ball on the skip.

426
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,000
It looked like he might Joghlet, but he stayed with it.

427
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000
So, that is all.

428
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Rosuto made a fine play.

429
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Just like a quick bug.

430
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,000
He scooted over toward second base toward his left hand side, came up with the ball.

431
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,000
And he had to take it right off of Reese's feet.

432
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,000
As Peewee delayed trying to shield the infielder from the side of the ball.

433
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Which is a trick which accomplished based on his youth all the time.

434
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,000
But Rosuto made the play.

435
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
His hard throw was into the dirt.

436
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
And Henry just did stay with it.

437
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
That's something when you have to dig him out.

438
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
So, that's all for a threat for each side.

439
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:01,000
So, we've had an exciting, but a scoreless first inning.

440
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Newcomb hoping that he's over his wild streak, is ready to pitch in the second inning.

441
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,000
And will pause ten quick seconds for station identification.

442
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,000
This is the mutual broadcasting system.

443
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,000
The World Series is heard exclusively on WOR.

444
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
See it on WOR TV, Channel 9.

445
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:29,000
WOR and WOR FM, New York.

446
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Moving into the second inning, it's the last third of the Yankee hitting list of nine.

447
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Right fielder Maples, a left hand batter, followed by Jerry Coleman.

448
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Who now is tied with Peewee Reese for the most hits in the series, each possessing three.

449
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:47,000
And then Pichulofat, who hasn't been up in the series, this is his first appearance.

450
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Maples, 0 for 5, left hand batter.

451
00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Very much an asian overcast afternoon.

452
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
It's extremely warm.

453
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Muggy.

454
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Right hander delivers, pass ball too high, and it is ball one.

455
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,000
Newcomb, 6'5, 230 pounds. He's big.

456
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Outfield toward right.

457
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Maples, sort of a slenderish, six foot left hand hitter.

458
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Swings with a bounding ball at Newcomb, grabs it to Bowers.

459
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Throws over to first place to Hodges and Maples it out.

460
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,000
There's a hot bounder, the pitcher's beard.

461
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
One up, one go on opening up the second inning, no score.

462
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:42,000
And here is Jerry Coleman, who bradded in the fourth and has paid off the winning run for the Yankees yesterday.

463
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Coleman has had a fine series, played very well at second base.

464
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:54,000
He's had three hits for 11 at bat.

465
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Outfield straight away, infield straight away.

466
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Coleman works upon the handle of that bat.

467
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Newcomb's slider misses on the outside, ball one.

468
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Don doesn't call that hard, quick curve of his a slider, he calls it a hard curve ball.

469
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Everybody else calls that sort of pitch a slider.

470
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:18,000
That's become, I guess, on the most overworked words in baseball in the last five years.

471
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:26,000
One and 0 pitch, pass ball, swung on, a high foul, Campanella coming back close to the stands, close to the stands, he's got it.

472
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Ball, a catch of the foul ball by the catcher, two men out, no score.

473
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:37,000
And pitcher Lopat is over at the Yankee bat rack.

474
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Hasn't found his stickers yet.

475
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Now he's got it.

476
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Here he comes, walking easy up to the plate.

477
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:53,000
He's a nonchalant sort of a fella.

478
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Lopat left hand hitter.

479
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Stocky, thick through the shoulders and chest, light red hair.

480
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Outfield, shaded toward right.

481
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Newcomb's pass ball is in there for a called strike, nothing in one.

482
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Two down, nobody on second inning.

483
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Things moving easily now after the frenetic first inning that we had on both sides, especially for the Yankees.

484
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Pitch outside, one ball, one strike.

485
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Packed stands, rather quiet for the second.

486
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Just waiting.

487
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,000
One and one pitch, curve, swung on and missed, one and two.

488
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Sharp curve ball at the knees.

489
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,000
One ball, two strikes.

490
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Lopat swings from the end.

491
00:40:52,000 --> 00:41:04,000
He stands up there like a workman with that stick.

492
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,000
The sun is getting through a little brighter.

493
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Sort of glary.

494
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,000
The one and two pitch is swung on, a fly ball out into deep and dead center field.

495
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Snyder is back, turns, waits.

496
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:21,000
He has it and nothing across the Yankees in the top of the second inning.

497
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,000
And it is still no runs in the ball game.

498
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:32,000
And folks, when I tell you that Red Rolf, former Yankee third baseman who did such a great job managing the Detroit Tigers this year,

499
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:38,000
looks mighty sharp today, well you know I know he uses Gillette Blue Blades.

500
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Yep, and here he is to tell you why.

501
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Fans, I'm like you.

502
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,000
I have only one face and I don't go for nicking and scraping it.

503
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,000
So I use Gillette Blue Blades.

504
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,000
You can't beat them.

505
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Red, how do you like the Gillette Dispenser?

506
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,000
It's a real convenience.

507
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Makes blade changing lots easier.

508
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Men, for slick comfortable shaves that make your face look its best and feel refreshed,

509
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
get help to Gillette Blue Blades.

510
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Yep, and for extra convenience at no extra cost, buy 10 or 20 at a time in the modern Gillette Dispenser that zips them out on rep ready for use.

511
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp.

512
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Use Gillette Blue Blades with the sharpest edges ever hoed.

513
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Red, one more question then.

514
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
How do you feel about this ball game today?

515
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
You sort of sense or smell something?

516
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Yes, I think there's going to be a lot of happening today, Red.

517
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:35,000
The pitching doesn't look quite as sharp as it has in the first three ball games.

518
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Newcomb, for one thing, is much more unsteady than he has been in his previous start.

519
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Okay, Red.

520
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Well, I see that Hodges is up now to hit against Lopat.

521
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Last of the second inning, no score.

522
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,000
I feel toward left.

523
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Hodges takes a letter ball outside, ball one.

524
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:06,000
This is game four and game four at Ebbets Field with the Dodgers and Yankees for the last two times has always had supplement.

525
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,000
It's a don't go away very far, has looked like a knuckleball outside, ball two.

526
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Two balls, no strikes.

527
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Hodges, one hit for eight at bats.

528
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:29,000
That one hit drove in the run in game two.

529
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Sockie left-hander delivers and gets it over the outside for a false strike.

530
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Two and one.

531
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Two balls, one strike.

532
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:43,000
Lopat seems to sort of sling himself sideways, working sidearm pretty much.

533
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Delivers, fastball swung on as a high fly ball into short left field.

534
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Woodling under it easily, waiting.

535
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,000
He's got it.

536
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Ball went up, went away.

537
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Last of the second inning, no score.

538
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Louis O'Mall moving up to the plate.

539
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,000
O'Mall has two for six so far.

540
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,000
The second one was the 19th home run yesterday.

541
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,000
It's threatened to precipitate a rally.

542
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,000
It did get a rally on the way, but it fell short.

543
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Now it is getting quite bright again.

544
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Notice shortstop for Zudow is checking the glare up above,

545
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:25,000
peering up underneath his glove hand.

546
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Lopat starts to pitch and decides he wants another sign.

547
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Gets it.

548
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Left-hander, it works.

549
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,000
Curveball swung on as a high fly ball right out to left field of Woodling,

550
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,000
who is under it, waiting, waiting.

551
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
He has it.

552
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,000
It's all two up, two put-outs for left field of Gene Woodling.

553
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,000
And Roy Campanella, who has two for eight, and his second hit was a home run.

554
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Last run in the game yesterday.

555
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Stocky, right-hand batter.

556
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Barra settles down to give the sign.

557
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Giorno working off the catcher's left shoulder

558
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:10,000
into the crack between the receiver and the hitter, who's right-hand batter.

559
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Two out.

560
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Things quiet.

561
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Lopat delivers, spinning fastball high outside, ball one.

562
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Stands there with sort of an impassive countenance, chewing gum steadily.

563
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Lopat, who doesn't waste much time, deals.

564
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,000
As a trickle out toward first base, Lopat himself feels it.

565
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,000
The pitch is thrown to first and Campanella is out.

566
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Hit a screwball right off the end of his bat.

567
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,000
And he's out, the pitcher coming over to the first base line

568
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,000
and firing over to first baseman Henry.

569
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,000
So we have a threat in the first inning, a real big threat for the Yankees,

570
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,000
which our base running double play broke out.

571
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,000
The Yankees got two singles, two walks in the first inning and didn't score.

572
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:06,000
And the Dodgers have a threat in the last of the first inning.

573
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:11,000
Double by Reese who opened it up, but he never got off second base

574
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,000
and everything was quite quiet in the second inning.

575
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,000
This time you can see that the sky is blue.

576
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Well, it's been blue, of course, as we all know.

577
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
We all know the sun's been up there all the time.

578
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:28,000
But the haze is finally burned away and the weatherman has hit it right on the nose again.

579
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Well, congratulations to him.

580
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:36,000
He said it would be fair, warm and clear before the game was concluded.

581
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:42,000
And the forecast is for completely clear, sunshiny weather tomorrow afternoon.

582
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,000
And remember that because of the New York State Sunday Law,

583
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,000
tomorrow's game cannot start before 2 o'clock Eastern Standard Time.

584
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:56,000
It is advertised to start at 5 minutes past 2 o'clock Eastern Standard Time.

585
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Our Jeanette broadcast tomorrow will tee off at 1.45 Eastern Standard Time.

586
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:12,000
For these first four games, as you know, our time has been 12.45.

587
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Now moving to the third inning, the Sudol who began the ballgame

588
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:21,000
blasting a line single into center field, a first second at bat.

589
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
The scooter now has two hits for 12.

590
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,000
Outfield shaded toward left, infield up a step because of the batter's speed.

591
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Fastball is over.

592
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,000
All strike.

593
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Rizzuto bluffing a bunt.

594
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Mixers, of course, has to stay uptight inside third.

595
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,000
No third baseman can play back on Rizzuto.

596
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,000
He's bunt every time.

597
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,000
He just keeps him right in there so close he can almost shake hands with him.

598
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Newcomb delivers.

599
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Misses with his curve low outside.

600
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,000
That was his sharp curve, one and one.

601
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Now the sun is very definitely out.

602
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,000
No question about it.

603
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000
All the fellows are wearing sunglasses that they would normally wear.

604
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,000
21 pitch.

605
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,000
Curve ball hits down to third and one bounce.

606
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,000
Mixers over to first to Heizer.

607
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,000
That's all for Rizzuto before he's halfway down the line.

608
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,000
One up, one away.

609
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Tommy Henrich who hit Newcomb for the dramatic home run,

610
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,000
one of the most dramatic home runs in the history of World Series.

611
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:23,000
It's always dangerous to say the most of anything, but certainly one of the most.

612
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Henrich then greeted Newcomb his next time against him with a single in the first inning.

613
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,000
They'd sent Rizzuto around the third with nobody out.

614
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,000
And now here is Henrich up again.

615
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,000
His two hits have been off Newcomb.

616
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Tommy failed to hit safely in games two and three.

617
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,000
Hotfield toward right.

618
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Right-hander kicks, throws.

619
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:51,000
A lot of curve high outside. Ball one.

620
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Henrich is about as all-round a threat batter as you would say.

621
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,000
He'll bunt up on occasion.

622
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Draw one.

623
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,000
He's a good judge of a pitch.

624
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,000
There's a pitch low inside.

625
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Ball two.

626
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Newcomb changed on that one.

627
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Slowed it up a little.

628
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Two balls, no strikes.

629
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,000
Down pumps.

630
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Henrich leans in.

631
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,000
The pitch swung on, a sharp bounding ball that Hodges feels with one hand.

632
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Newcomb comes over, takes the toss at first, ball the out, and Henrich is out by a step.

633
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,000
First baseman Hodges, two-pitcher Newcomb, cover it.

634
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
I'd like to comment that throughout the series,

635
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,000
all pitchers have fielded their positions brilliantly,

636
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:44,000
especially on those very tough players going over to first base.

637
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,000
Now we have the yogi up there.

638
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Berra, who is 0-7,

639
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,000
banged into that base running double player in the first inning.

640
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Ball game, no score.

641
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Berra, stocky left-hand hitter, takes a change-up, in on the hands of ball one.

642
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:07,000
That's the first full out-and-out change of pace that Newcomb has thrown in this series.

643
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:13,000
The first time he went all the way out with his slow ball.

644
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Works.

645
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,000
Fast ball swung on, belted, foul in the right field corner,

646
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000
up into the upper deck.

647
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,000
One-on-one.

648
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Berra has a little piece of white bandage there around his left thumb.

649
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,000
That thumb is sore.

650
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:36,000
That's on his catching hand, and of course, catching these pitches perched that hand,

651
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,000
especially as hard as Allen Reynolds was throwing in the opening game.

652
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,000
One-on-one pitch to Berra, change-up ball, swung on, hit out into right center field,

653
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:49,000
back goes right fielder Hermanski, under the ball, and makes a catch in deep right center.

654
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,000
So Newcomb going to his change of pace, sets the Yankees out,

655
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:57,000
one, two, three, in the top of the third inning,

656
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,000
and there the score remains, New York nothing, Brooklyn nothing.

657
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,000
But Banshees Red Rock for the Detroit Tigers put it when he was on the air.

658
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,000
You only have one face, and there's no point nicking and scraping it when you shave.

659
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:16,000
So get equated with Gillette Blue Blades, and enjoy smooth, refreshing shaves that look swell and feel great.

660
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Gillette Blue Blades are made of the finest razor steel the world produces,

661
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000
and are peppered to glass-cutting hardness.

662
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:31,000
They're cleaner, smoother finished, and far longer lasting than other blades that break down prematurely and scrape and pull.

663
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,000
When buying Gillette Blue Blades, ask for them in the Gillette Dispenser.

664
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:40,000
This handy magazine zips them out unwrapped, ready for use, and costs nothing extra.

665
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:47,000
You get 20 blades, 40 shaving edges, for 98 cents, 10 blades for 49 cents.

666
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:55,000
They look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp. Use Gillette Blue Blades with the sharpest edges ever home.

667
00:51:55,000 --> 00:52:05,000
In the last of the third inning, no-score game, Gene Hermanski, who is starting in right field for the second game,

668
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:11,000
because of the fact that Forello's groin injury has flared up on him, and he's unable to go.

669
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Hermanski first up, followed by Newcomb, and then by Reese.

670
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Managers shot and did everything he could to see that Newcomb in game one would be pitted against a right-handed pitcher,

671
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,000
because Newcomb is a left-hand batter and a good one.

672
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,000
But Casey Stengel finally works the thing out the way he wants it,

673
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,000
by getting left-handed Lopat starting against Newcomb the second time the Newcomb comes out.

674
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,000
Managers have to figure right down to those things.

675
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,000
After all, I know it was the pitcher single yesterday that was most pivotal.

676
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Now here's Lopat delivering to Hermanski, who swings and misses on a high-inside curveball.

677
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:48,000
I think a lot of folks forgot that Tommy Byrne, before he was taken out of the ball game,

678
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:53,000
came up with a base hit that sent the first Yankee run around the third base.

679
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,000
You'll recall yesterday afternoon.

680
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:01,000
Hermanski takes a fast ball low inside at the shin, ball one.

681
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:11,000
Lopat, barely left-hander, Hermanski, strong, muscular, left-hand batter,

682
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:18,000
sun out fully now, sidearm curve, swing on and miss, strike two, one ball, two strikes.

683
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:23,000
Hermanski didn't hit against many left-handers in the opponent campaign.

684
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:31,000
He was used exclusively against right-hand pitchers.

685
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,000
One ball, two strikes.

686
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,000
Lopat with all that stuff delivers.

687
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,000
There's a slow curve that's hit foul down the right field corner.

688
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:44,000
Just about the same spot that Byrne hit his foul ball in the upper part of this inning.

689
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,000
One ball, two strikes.

690
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
No score in the ball game.

691
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,000
The Yankees lead in the series, as you know, two games to one.

692
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:58,000
And this is that fateful fourth game at Ebbets Field in which things have happened.

693
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,000
This was game four with the Yankees, you remember, that Henrik struck out

694
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,000
and Mickey Byrne missed it in the ninth inning in 41.

695
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:10,000
And with two men out in game four with the Yankees here in 47,

696
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,000
Lavagelow pinch hit against Bevins.

697
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:17,000
One and two pitch to Hermanski is a curve way outside, sidearm curve.

698
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Ball two. Two balls, two strikes.

699
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Second baseman Coleman notices that the glove of Robinson is just the way he didn't want it to be,

700
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,000
so he goes over and moves it.

701
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:33,000
These players have to be important to every little detail.

702
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:37,000
A two-two pitch, swung on, a ground ball foul outside first.

703
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:41,000
That looked to be a screwball, was breaking in on the hands.

704
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Ball down the right to a corner, bounced in amongst the spectators.

705
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Unless balls bounce into the stands, the spectator's not going to get them

706
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,000
because it has been announced and announced repeatedly that under no circumstances

707
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:01,000
are fans to lean over the low rail and reach for balls on the playing field, foul or otherwise.

708
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,000
Very sound rule.

709
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
No score. Two balls, two strikes.

710
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:11,000
Hermanski first, tough last to the third loop, had the livers and Gene fouls this one off.

711
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Ball down in the dirt.

712
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Two and two.

713
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,000
The thing's sort of quiet for the moment.

714
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:23,000
You can look around and you can see this tenseness in all the faces.

715
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,000
President Dan Topping of the Yankees sitting with George Weiss,

716
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,000
General Manager Del Webb, they're just staring intently.

717
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Two-two pitch.

718
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Curve ball high and side, ball three.

719
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:41,000
And in their vicinity is Ed Barra, who had so much to do with building the Yankees

720
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,000
and the great team that they have been in awe.

721
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,000
Connie Mack is sitting over there.

722
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,000
President Will Harridge.

723
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,000
Hank Greenberg, Bill Beck.

724
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,000
Hermanski swings, misses the curve ball and it is back three.

725
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
So Lopat works on him and strikes him out.

726
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:01,000
It's the first strike out of the ball game.

727
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Also there are two fellows and I wonder what their thoughts are.

728
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:09,000
Sitting over there in the American League delegation by the dugout.

729
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Here's Newcomb coming up to the plate.

730
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,000
It's a big hand.

731
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,000
The two men I was speaking of in the American League are Eddie Collins

732
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:20,000
and Joe Cronin of the Boston Red Sox.

733
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Boy, the furnace in both leagues were really bitter this summer, weren't they?

734
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Newcomb, left hand hitter, takes a fastball that's over for a call strike.

735
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,000
I've got the inside just above the knees.

736
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000
No balls, one strike.

737
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:41,000
Lopat is the sort of fellow that doesn't numb you or jaw you or overpower you.

738
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,000
He's just like a fellow with a little sharp knife.

739
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,000
He just walks around and takes a nick here and a nick there.

740
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,000
He delivers a curve, swung on and missed, strikes two.

741
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:56,000
As Jim Turner, coach of the Yankees, says that Lopat pitches pretty much the same way

742
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:01,000
as you're all Brooklyn pitches.

743
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:05,000
Just nibbles and needles you to death.

744
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Throw anything.

745
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:11,000
Delivers knuckleball that was low, just the knees.

746
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:21,000
One ball, two strikes.

747
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:26,000
One out.

748
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,000
I feel shaded toward right.

749
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Newcomb very much an open stance against his left hander.

750
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Lopat works curve, swung on and missed, strike three, and Newcomb, it'll wind up.

751
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:44,000
So that's two strikeouts, last two batters, retired by Eddie Lopat.

752
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,000
And Peewee Reese, who is the only Dodger to get on base against Lopat,

753
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,000
opened up with a double in the first inning.

754
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Reese has three hits for 11.

755
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Reese in the square stance, easily balanced.

756
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:08,000
He's the veteran Brooklyn ballplayer.

757
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,000
He goes back to 1940.

758
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,000
In spring training camp, they called him the old man of the ball cloud.

759
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,000
He was all of 30 years old.

760
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:24,000
Pitch, good curve above the knees, a tall strike, nothing won.

761
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,000
There is no perceptible wind.

762
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
The air from the humidity is rather heavy.

763
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:34,000
It will hold up a ball that is hit high.

764
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Knuckleball high outside, ball one.

765
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,000
The batters on both sides, as they took pregame batting practice,

766
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,000
remarked that they would hit a ball hard, and it wouldn't seem to go very far

767
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:51,000
because of the moisture in the atmosphere.

768
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Two out, no score, nobody on, Lopat just pitching away.

769
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,000
Reese at the plate, count one and one.

770
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Fastball is good.

771
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,000
There he came in with his fastball and got it.

772
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Just at the inside corner above the knees, we're called second strike.

773
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:09,000
Very efficient pitch.

774
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:19,000
One and two.

775
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,000
One and two pitch, high outside, ball two.

776
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,000
I'm mentioning some of the American League officials over on the Yankee dugout.

777
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:33,000
Back of the Brooklyn dugout is President Ford Frick sitting there,

778
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,000
looking very tense.

779
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Of course, his league is a game behind right now.

780
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,000
Walter O'Malley, John Smith, co-owners with Branch Ricky,

781
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,000
The Brooklyn ball club, and their boxers.

782
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:49,000
The two-two pitch is swung on as a high fly ball.

783
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Let's see, first baseman Henrik says, I'll take it.

784
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:55,000
He's under it and makes the catch midway between first base and pitcher's mouth.

785
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:00,000
So Lopat, aside from Reese's opening double, has got them all.

786
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,000
He has retired, and with some at ease, the last nine.

787
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,000
So let's check our total's, Mel, at the end of three innings.

788
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,000
No runs, two hits, and no errors for the Yankees.

789
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,000
And no runs, one hit, and no errors for the Dodgers.

790
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,000
Well, Newcomb's ammeling out to the mound.

791
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,000
It's going to give us time for a little visit, Mel.

792
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,000
How have you seen this ball game, and how do you feel about it?

793
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Well, Red, I felt very much as you indicated in your remarks in the first inning

794
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,000
about the fourth games of every World Series between the Yankees and the Dodgers,

795
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:36,000
developing into something of a spectacular nature.

796
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,000
And certainly we had a lot of action packed into that first inning,

797
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:44,000
something of an unusual nature with a double play,

798
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:50,000
getting runners who were on first and third, the batter himself being safe,

799
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,000
and one runner thinking that time had been called,

800
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,000
one of those situations that smack of the irregular.

801
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:01,000
And then with Reese leading off the last, the first inning of the double,

802
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,000
it looked as if these boys who have been stifled, comparatively speaking,

803
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,000
by the pitchers, pitching certainly has predominated thus far in the series,

804
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,000
it looked as if this was going to be a hitter's day.

805
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,000
But just as suddenly as it started, as suddenly did it end,

806
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:17,000
and once again we're back in the pattern of the first three games,

807
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:22,000
but early and still a lot capable of happening, and it probably will.

808
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,000
Well, let's wait until the ninth inning anyhow.

809
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,000
Well, here we go into the fourth inning, Nostor and DiMaggio up.

810
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:32,000
They draw base on balls in that February's first inning.

811
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Joe has one hit an infield single out of 11 at-bats.

812
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Big Newcomb pumps once again, kicks, throws, over for a called strike.

813
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:50,000
Fastball, they just fire right down through there.

814
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,000
I feel very much around toward left.

815
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,000
One left, Snider in center, a man skin right.

816
01:01:55,000 --> 01:02:00,000
Newcomb right hands, fastball high and side up by DiMaggio's hands, one and one.

817
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Judging by Joe's reaction to that pitch, he was taking it all away anyhow.

818
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,000
DiMaggio, his feet widespread.

819
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:13,000
Boy, does he want to hit one.

820
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Another one pitch is swung on, there's a high drive, deep out toward left center field.

821
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:23,000
Snider goes back, close to the wall, close to the wall, he's got it.

822
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:29,000
That ball looks to be going upstairs when it took off.

823
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Didn't get there.

824
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,000
It may be that this humid air today held it up just enough,

825
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,000
because that ball's trajectory was tremendously high,

826
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,000
as high as the top of the double deck stand.

827
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:45,000
And then it seemed to just come plummeting straight down the field.

828
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:50,000
So that's the best hit ball that DiMaggio has turned loose.

829
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,000
And he's out.

830
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,000
Put out for the center fielder, and the batter now is Bobby Brown.

831
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,000
He too walked in the first inning.

832
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:01,000
Swings, there's a foul ball out of play back at the Yankee dugout.

833
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:07,000
No balls, one strike.

834
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,000
One gone, top of the four.

835
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,000
No score.

836
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:20,000
And the wheels are grinding slowly, tensely again.

837
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:24,000
Sun out and full force.

838
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:28,000
The pitch swung on and missed.

839
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Newcomenant ball sinking then, and he gets that effect when he takes a little bit off of his fast ball.

840
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:41,000
No balls, two strikes.

841
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,000
Brown, one for five.

842
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,000
That was a big single, as it proved to be.

843
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:54,000
Did he hit in the right field with two out top of the ninth yesterday.

844
01:03:54,000 --> 01:04:00,000
Pitch high inside, one ball, two strikes.

845
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:05,000
Bill Dickey, facing restlessly in the coaches' box at first base.

846
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Crissetti doesn't pace down at third, he just goes one place and stands.

847
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Outfield toward right.

848
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,000
Other defensive players on the toes.

849
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:23,000
Newcomenant delivers one and two outside for a ball too.

850
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,000
Two balls, two strikes.

851
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:33,000
To show you the tension, as soon as a pitch is made and is taken at the plate, you can see the infielders and the outfielders, all seven of them,

852
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:37,000
immediately take a step forward to regain their balance, then they get set again.

853
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,000
They have to be ready to go.

854
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:45,000
The two-two pitch swung on, fouled off.

855
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,000
Still two and two.

856
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,000
One away.

857
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:56,000
Bases clear here in the fourth.

858
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:08,000
Remember that air time for the Gillette broadcast, the World Series tomorrow, will be 1.45 Eastern Standard Time, or one hour later than it has been for the first four games.

859
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:12,000
Two-two pitch, swung on, bounced down toward first and fouled.

860
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:16,000
Still two and two.

861
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:20,000
There's a spectator stepping out of the stands to come up with that ball.

862
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:29,000
And I imagine that that's going to probably draw some little reprimand because it has been announced, and for very good reasons, that nobody is supposed to lean all the way.

863
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Unless they step on the field to get a ball that is in play.

864
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,000
And a foul ball is still in play.

865
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:42,000
Well, the umpire declares it dead.

866
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:43,000
Two balls, two strikes.

867
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,000
The pitch is swung on.

868
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:46,000
There's Drillden, the left-side of the field.

869
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,000
It's going to be in the alley for an extra base.

870
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,000
Brown whistling to the left around first base.

871
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:51,000
Now there's Slipps, comes up with a ball.

872
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:56,000
Brown is around second and then holds on standing as the throw comes in to third.

873
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:01,000
So there's a real solid line-drive double right up the alley in left center field, just where they were not playing.

874
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:06,000
So with one gone, Bobby Brown comes up with his second hit on the sixth official at bat.

875
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:14,000
A line double that on the second bounce went up against the concrete in left center field, about 375 feet away.

876
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:20,000
Hudges comes over from first, talks to Newcomb. Robinson has come in from second and is talking to Don now.

877
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:28,000
So with one gone, the Yankees come up with their second threat as far as base runners are concerned.

878
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:32,000
That for the Yankees gives them a total of five doubles so far in the series.

879
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:36,000
And Gene Woodling, who got one of those doubles yesterday, he has one for four.

880
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:41,000
He was one for three yesterday and he's all for one today.

881
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:47,000
He made the third out in the first inning. Takes a slider low inside, ball one.

882
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:53,000
One ball, no strikes.

883
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:57,000
Brown was a good runner, leads off second. Outfield toward right.

884
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:05,000
Woodling in a crouch, the ten hitter, took this stick about an inch and backs out of the box, time call.

885
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,000
No scores.

886
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:12,000
The Yankees had a big threat in the first inning when Rizzuto and Henrik opened up the singles and men were suddenly first and third.

887
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:17,000
But then Berra hit into a double play.

888
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,000
Newcomb throws, low, ball two.

889
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:25,000
And if he just joined us, that threatened the first inning after the double play was a bounding ball to the third baseman.

890
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,000
Rizzuto, the runner from third, was caught in a run up.

891
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:33,000
And then Henrik, who was the original runner at first in that sequence, overran second base and was picked off.

892
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,000
Berra wound up at first.

893
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:41,000
And Newcomb walked the next two men, but he got Woodling, who is now at bat, in the first inning he hit a fly ball to his center fielder, Snyder.

894
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:45,000
Now the Yankees have their second threat, one with one out, Brown is a second with a double.

895
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Woodling takes a high curve, four ball, three.

896
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:53,000
Green all.

897
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Newcomb trying to be oh so careful.

898
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Three balls, no strikes.

899
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:11,000
Joe Hatton begins to fidget around down the Brooklyn bullpen, the left hander was up in the first inning.

900
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:16,000
The three nothing pitch is a curve long, ball four, so Woodling walks.

901
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,000
And Yankees are first and second.

902
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,000
This is the third walk given up by Newcomb today in three in the third inning.

903
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:27,000
He walked no man in the first game of the series.

904
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:32,000
Hatton is now up to start throwing to Sam Nairn.

905
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,000
Tetsa Campanella walks out to the mound to say something to Newcomb.

906
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Presetti coaching at third base.

907
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:42,000
Others encouragement to the present Yankee batter now, Fifth Mapes.

908
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:48,000
Mapes bounced out, pitch to the first in the second inning, 0 for one today and 0 for six so far in the series.

909
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,000
Left hand hitter.

910
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,000
Outfield toward right, infield, upper step.

911
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Fast ball is low and inside for ball one.

912
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:04,000
One and all.

913
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:08,000
Now you can feel the tension mounting.

914
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:13,000
Yankees putting on the pressure.

915
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,000
Newcomb deliberately taking the sign.

916
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,000
Comes to a stop position, second pitchers.

917
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,000
Fast ball swung on, hit down the left field corner.

918
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:26,000
It might be trouble, Ohmo going over, over, over and the ball is fair in the left field corner for an extra base hit.

919
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,000
In comes Brown.

920
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,000
Around third base coming in to score is Woodlink.

921
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,000
He scores the ball, gets away from Campanella.

922
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,000
It's a double for Mapes.

923
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,000
He hit that ball no more than six inches fair.

924
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Right down in the left field corner, 348 feet away.

925
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,000
He was playing him, he hit it to the right.

926
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,000
He sliced back the other direction.

927
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:52,000
And again the reason of having an umpire in each foul corner was plainly demonstrated then.

928
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:56,000
That would have been a very tough one to have had to call from back on the infield.

929
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:03,000
Because the stands jut out in the left field corner and there's a low railing of seats coming right along on the foul ground.

930
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,000
The Yankees are now ahead two to nothing on a double in the left field corner.

931
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:16,000
The umpire in the left field corner, Ed Herle, was right on top of the, he wasn't five feet away from the ball when it struck.

932
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Had that ball sliced another couple of inches, he should have been fouled.

933
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:25,000
That's a very tough corner. It's about the toughest corner, I think, in the major league.

934
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:29,000
Especially when an umpire is distant. It's caused many a rubav here at Brooklyn.

935
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,000
But when the umpire down in the corner, that was it.

936
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:36,000
Commissioner Chandler started using the altons that way, if you recall, in the 47 series.

937
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,000
Okay, so Mapes comes up with his first series hit.

938
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,000
And the Yankees are now out in front two to nothing.

939
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,000
Hatton continues calling in the Brooklyn bullpen.

940
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,000
Mapes walking down off second, feeling better about everything.

941
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,000
And Coleman is at the plate. He has three hits so far in the series.

942
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:55,000
Takes sort of a little curve off the hand for a called strike.

943
01:10:55,000 --> 01:11:01,000
Presetti, the third base coach, had both of those Yankee runners going.

944
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:06,000
It was easy for Brown, of course, but Woodling, they had to start him and run him all the way.

945
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,000
In first base, and he scored from first easily.

946
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,000
The throw came in, fast away from Campanella, but made no difference.

947
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:16,000
There's a high fly ball hit into short left field.

948
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:22,000
Olmore coming over close to the foul line and makes the catch in foul ground.

949
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,000
So that's the second out.

950
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Coleman foul ball to the left fielder.

951
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,000
Two to nothing is the score in favor of the Yankees.

952
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,000
They're in the top of the fourth inning.

953
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:36,000
Mapes slicing a double down in the left field corner.

954
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:40,000
And now a pitcher, Eddie Lofat, who's a rich man as far as pitchers go.

955
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,000
He knows how valuable each of these two runs is that he possesses.

956
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Actually, he's going to try and make it three if he can.

957
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:49,000
A base hit might very well do it. Mapes runs well on his long legs.

958
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:58,000
Lofat is one of the good hitting pitchers in the trade.

959
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:01,000
Newcomb checks second, delivers.

960
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:14,000
Curfew low, ball one.

961
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:18,000
Big Don, look at second, works.

962
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:21,000
Lofat swings, and there is a base hit going into left center field.

963
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,000
She's in there, it's another double for him if he wants to run it out.

964
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,000
And now Lofat going into second base hit, comes to throw.

965
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:30,000
Lofat slides, no, he stands, and he is safe.

966
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,000
He almost fell off second base.

967
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Naturally makes the score to make it three-nothing.

968
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Lofat doubles.

969
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:39,000
But he started to slide, then decided he didn't have to slide,

970
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:43,000
and took to his stand-up momentum that he almost fell off second base.

971
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,000
His foot did go off, but he reached back with a hand.

972
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:53,000
And Beans Redden was right on top of that play to call it.

973
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Ramison put an early tag on him, and then Lofat fell off the ball,

974
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,000
and then reached back with his hand before Ramison could re-tag him.

975
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:03,000
So Lofat is safe with a double, and the Yankees are out in front three to nothing,

976
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,000
and I think this is going to be all for Newcomb.

977
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:10,000
There is Clyde Sukeforth pointing to the ball, Ben, and Joe Hatton is to come off.

978
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:15,000
So Lofat himself hits a line drive double in the left center field corner,

979
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:25,000
and this makes it three-nothing in favor of New York.

980
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:29,000
So Joe Hatton is making the walk-in from the bullpen back in the right field corner.

981
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,000
He's going across pass first base right now.

982
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,000
Newcomb, who didn't have it today, will soon leave the mound.

983
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,000
He's just waiting to wish Hatton luck and go through the...

984
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,000
The puck recur to shoot the situation.

985
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:53,000
There's the jacket taken down to Lofat. At second there's Newcomb walking off.

986
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,000
And the Yankees are on top solidly now, three-nothing.

987
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,000
So we'll have a little while while Hatton gets the feel of the mound,

988
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:03,000
throws down to Campanella, and lets use up ten of those seconds for station identification.

989
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:11,000
The World Series is heard exclusively on WOR. See it on WOR-TV, Channel 9.

990
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:20,000
WOR and WOR-FM, New York.

991
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:27,000
Joe Hatton, slender, blonde, slightly bold at the knees, left-hander, taking over on the mound.

992
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:32,000
Won a dozen ball games this last season, lost eight.

993
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Hatton appeared briefly, worked in and out, got in four different games,

994
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:47,000
a total of nine innings, and gave up seven earned runs in the World Series against the Yankees in 1947.

995
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,000
All right, she's through nothing in favor of the Yankees.

996
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,000
We're leading in games two to one.

997
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,000
And as Casey Stengel said before today's ball game, he said,

998
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:58,000
well, if we can win this one, it looks like we'll be sitting a little comfortably.

999
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,000
And of course, they are out to try and do it.

1000
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,000
Look, Patty just tipped himself with a double, and now here is Rizzuto.

1001
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:07,000
Up here in the fourth, right in here to Hatton pitches a fast ball over for a call strike.

1002
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,000
So we got luck down to both sides.

1003
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:14,000
Hatton's place in the Brooklyn Bowl, then, is now taken by the lean right-hander Jack Bata,

1004
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:19,000
who relieved yesterday and who was hit by Coleman for a single that knocked in the Yankees fourth,

1005
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,000
and it turned out to be their winning run.

1006
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Hatton's shaded toward left.

1007
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:29,000
Two out, three runs in, curve ball, hangs low outside, one ball, one strike.

1008
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,000
Rizzuto is one for two today.

1009
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:39,000
He has two hits for 13 official at bats so far in the series.

1010
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:43,000
Three runs, all charged up near him, of course, and five hits for the Yankees.

1011
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,000
Gone out of there after three and two-thirds innings.

1012
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:53,000
Hatton works one and one, too high with a fast ball high and outside.

1013
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:57,000
Two balls, one strike.

1014
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:02,000
Rizzuto a little bit back from the plate, slightly over the close stance,

1015
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,000
so it's a stick-up an inch.

1016
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,000
He's about to do most anything.

1017
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:11,000
He can hit the right, pull the ball, also can take, and he's a good bonner.

1018
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:12,000
Two on pitch.

1019
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,000
Swings and hits a Hatton through an electoral base hit.

1020
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,000
There's Lopat, ruling around third base.

1021
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:18,000
Here comes a throw from Momo.

1022
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:22,000
It might be close at the plate, and Lopat is out.

1023
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,000
He was out by 20, and Captain Ollagay, but the big decoy, he just stood there,

1024
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:30,000
so there's no throw coming, and so the throw from Momo was perfect on the second bounce,

1025
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,000
and so ends the inning.

1026
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:34,000
But the pitchers didn't get him out.

1027
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:38,000
The final pitch that did get anybody out was left fielder Omo.

1028
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:42,000
So Rizzuto a single to left for his second hit of the day,

1029
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:48,000
and Lopat is thrown out of the plate, left fielder Omo to catch a Campanella.

1030
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:53,000
So the Yankees pick up three in the fourth inning, and at the end of three-and-a-half innings,

1031
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:57,000
The score is New York 3-and-Brookton nothing.

1032
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:03,000
You fellows who are up on baseball know that a single playoff determines the outcome of a game.

1033
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:09,000
Yes, and those who use modern Jevette one-piece razors know they can't be matched for shaving ease and convenience.

1034
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,000
Twist the razor open.

1035
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:12,000
Zip, it's loaded.

1036
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:16,000
Twist again, and you're ready for the slickest shave ever.

1037
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:20,000
There's nothing to take apart or put together, nothing to jam or clog,

1038
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,000
and the razor rinses clean in a second.

1039
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Every Jevette one-piece razor comes in an attractive serviceable travel case and includes a 10-blade Jevette dispenser.

1040
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:37,000
See the new Jevette SuperSpeed razor set, a big $1.75 value, for only a dollar.

1041
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:46,000
Also take a look at the gold-plated Jevette Mallord 275 and the superb gold-plated Aristocrat 379.

1042
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:54,000
Any one of these precision-made Gillette razors will give you utmost shaving ease and convenience.

1043
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,000
Lopat was out there running on the bases.

1044
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,000
He ran in for his double, as you'll recall.

1045
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,000
He tried to score on a solid, hot single.

1046
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:06,000
The left field was thrown out at the plate, and he is still being cleaned up there in the dugout after the slide.

1047
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:07,000
The fans are a little bit restive.

1048
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:09,000
They want to see him come out in the game or so.

1049
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,000
3-0 in favor of the Yankees.

1050
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:16,000
And Mel, how do you see things now?

1051
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,000
Well, I was just thinking back to that fourth inning.

1052
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:24,000
It was an oddity in that three left-hand hitters got doubles, and they all hit to the opposite field.

1053
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:30,000
That is to say, normally, you figure these fellows left-hand batters to pull toward right or right center,

1054
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:33,000
although they are left-hand hitters who don't pull.

1055
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:37,000
However, Bobby Brown does happen to be the type of hitter that'll hit the ball where it's pitched.

1056
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,000
He'll hit to all fields.

1057
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:44,000
He doubled the left center. Mapes, who normally will pull the ball, on occasion,

1058
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:49,000
I've seen him in the last couple of years hit a lot of them down the left field line like that.

1059
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:57,000
And oddly enough, that ball that he hit, he has so much power, it not only didn't miss very much by going foul,

1060
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,000
it also didn't miss much going into the left field stands for a home run.

1061
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:07,000
That is to say, approximately, figuring a left-hand hitter hitting a ball that far into that left corner when he usually pulls to the right.

1062
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:11,000
In other words, he got an awful lot of power behind it more so than anybody figured he might.

1063
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:15,000
It was sort of an odd inning all the way around at that.

1064
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:22,000
All right, Mr. Allen, anything else down before we go on to the last four?

1065
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:23,000
All caught up.

1066
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,000
All caught up.

1067
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,000
Okay, and I see that Eddie Lopat's all caught up. He's ready to go now.

1068
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:33,000
And the Yankee ball's up a field. Left-hander Lopat, who's ahead now, three to nothing, and at third runs his,

1069
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:40,000
Barrow back of the plate, first base is Henrik at second base Colman, a shortstop for Zudel, and at third base it is Brown.

1070
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:45,000
Brown, who, again, the assault on Newcomb with one out with a whistling line drive double.

1071
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:50,000
In left field is Woodling and center field, DiMaggio. Must be a tough series for Joe.

1072
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:55,000
Not hitting. Of course, he's playing on his nerves, what he did all year.

1073
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:00,000
And in right field is Mapes. Place that double down the left field corner.

1074
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:05,000
Well, we've got Eddie Mixes, first up in the last of the fourth inning, throwing out catcher to first,

1075
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,000
and the ball which he banged in front of the plate in the first inning.

1076
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:12,000
Three to nothing, New York. Big spinning curveball is over for a called strike.

1077
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Lopat, who is quite a competitor, he works with that noggin of his.

1078
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:27,000
Now busy defending his three to nothing lead. Gives a screwball in there, swung on in this strike, too.

1079
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:32,000
That was the biggest screwball that he threw as far as you could see its break.

1080
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:36,000
That one really was going down and back. He throws his screwball at two different gates.

1081
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,000
Slow one, fast one.

1082
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,000
Nothing in two.

1083
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,000
Mixes slightly open stance, it's for him to pull a little.

1084
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:57,000
Let a ball on the outside, one ball, two strikes.

1085
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:04,000
Lopat walking around.

1086
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:11,000
Solid pitcher. Didn't get flustered.

1087
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,000
Knows his trade, steadied it.

1088
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:21,000
Deals fastball over, called strike three.

1089
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Well, that was the change. Following the screwball and then suddenly the fastball right over.

1090
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,000
And mixes, he just caught looking.

1091
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:31,000
Well, that's the sort of pitcher that Lopat is.

1092
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:35,000
He works around you. He is a head pitcher.

1093
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,000
That's three strikeouts for him.

1094
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:42,000
Now we have Duke Snodden, who is 0-1, throwing out third to first in the first inning.

1095
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:48,000
The Yankees three, the Dodgers nothing. The Yankees coming up with three runs in the fourth.

1096
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:52,000
High field is divided against Snyder.

1097
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,000
There's a high fly ball in the right center field.

1098
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,000
Mates going over, signals he'll take it. The Mad Joe's out of the way.

1099
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,000
The right field is under it and makes the catch.

1100
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,000
So that's all for Snyder. High fly ball, right field, Mates.

1101
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Two gone after the fourth.

1102
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Reese opened up on Lopat as the first book combatter with a double.

1103
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:13,000
And not another Dodger has been able to turn to the left at first base.

1104
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:17,000
They've all had to go to the right.

1105
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,000
Jackie Robinson, who is 0-1 today, throwing out short to first.

1106
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,000
That was a fine play by Rizzuto.

1107
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:27,000
And throwing Robinson out in the first inning, an equally fine play by Henrik at first base.

1108
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:32,000
Throw, just to be a fast screwball on the outside, ball one.

1109
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:37,000
Robinson is 1-10.

1110
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,000
High field, what left?

1111
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,000
Sun shining brightly.

1112
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,000
Very threatening at noon.

1113
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:46,000
There's a let-up breaking ball, low outside ball, too.

1114
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:52,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1115
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:57,000
Bucky Lependa, just standing around the back of that mound like he owned it.

1116
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:08,000
The axis is unconcerned as though he were at an afternoon tea in somebody's backyard.

1117
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:12,000
He's ready, pumps once, pumps again, delivers 2-0.

1118
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,000
And misses with his fast ball on the outside.

1119
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:16,000
He tried to clip that outside corner for a strike.

1120
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:20,000
Eyes behind, 3-0.

1121
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:25,000
Robinson is, of course, pitched to more capler than any other hit in the book in batting order.

1122
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:28,000
3-0 pitch is low inside for ball four.

1123
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,000
And Jack is off to base on ball.

1124
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:39,000
Let's see now, yesterday he walked twice.

1125
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:42,000
First had three walks today, only three walks in the series.

1126
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,000
Two no-walks the first two games.

1127
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:53,000
Gil Hodges, we had a fly ball to left fielder Woodling in the second inning, 0-1.

1128
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:56,000
After retiring, 11 consecutive batters.

1129
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Base on balls comes up to Robinson.

1130
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:03,000
Yankees three.

1131
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:07,000
Dodgers nothing, two gone.

1132
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:11,000
Robinson, of course, while he'll take a fairly long lead at first base, he always does.

1133
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:14,000
He won't be trying to go anyplace.

1134
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:17,000
Dodgers behind three runs, left hand pitcher on the mound, an addition.

1135
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:23,000
There's a ball snuck right over the inside corner at the knees for a called strike.

1136
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:28,000
Low pat pitching to spots, different gates.

1137
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:35,000
You throw by the knees, so out of pitch you can name.

1138
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,000
Henry Golding, first base.

1139
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,000
Robinson leading off, not too far.

1140
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,000
Two out.

1141
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:46,000
The pitch is a curve in there nicely for a called second strike.

1142
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:49,000
That one did tricks.

1143
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:55,000
That was coming down a little on the outside and shoulder high and suddenly down, should cut right in there.

1144
01:24:55,000 --> 01:25:03,000
Nothing and two.

1145
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Hodges swinging from the end.

1146
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:18,000
Low pat standing with the ball, hand is small of his back.

1147
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:19,000
He's in no hurry at all.

1148
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,000
He's enjoying it.

1149
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,000
Checks first pitches.

1150
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,000
Strikes three, swing and a screwball.

1151
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,000
Left knee is on the outside.

1152
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,000
That's slow tantalizing screwball.

1153
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:33,000
And Hodges tried to check his swing and just pound the ball, but he couldn't do it.

1154
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:39,000
All right, so at the end of four innings, malcheck me on these, please.

1155
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:46,000
For the Yankees, three runs are all earned, all off Newcomb in the fourth inning and six hits the first five off Newcomb.

1156
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:47,000
No errors.

1157
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:53,000
And for the Dodgers, no runs, one hit, which was the opening double by Reese and the Brooklyn, no errors.

1158
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:54,000
Three nothing, New York.

1159
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:58,000
End of four.

1160
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:05,000
Men, Gillette blue blades, five for a quarter, give you more comfort for shave and far more shaves for blade

1161
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:10,000
because their edges are the sharpest on earth and hard enough to cut glass.

1162
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:17,000
Yes, no matter which you rate first, shaving comfort or shaving economy, Gillette blue blades are the buyer for you.

1163
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:24,000
And remember, you enjoy extra convenience at no extra cost when you buy them in the handy Gillette dispenser,

1164
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:29,000
available in both 10 and 20 blade sizes.

1165
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Now for the fifth inning, Tommy Henrik, Yogi Berra, the only two in the Yankee batting order that did not bat in a three run four,

1166
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:40,000
followed by DiMaggio.

1167
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:48,000
What happened to Hatton, who came on, face Rizzuto who's single, but the fourth inning was ended and Lopat was thrown out of the play.

1168
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:53,000
Hatton delivers a curve, sidearm swung on, missed for a strike.

1169
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:59,000
Left hander stepped forward first, threw the ball in tight on the left hand hitter.

1170
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Nothing in one, outfield toward right.

1171
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:06,000
Henrik one for two today, two hits for 13 at bats.

1172
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:16,000
Curve is fouled off the end of the bat down toward third and Presetti picks up the soft rolling ball, throws it out.

1173
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:27,000
Nothing in two.

1174
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:34,000
Joe looking down to the right for the moment.

1175
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:41,000
Henrik slightly open stance against the left hander, relief pitcher Hatton delivers, curve ball high inside.

1176
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:46,000
Henrik, dodging away from it, almost ducked into it.

1177
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,000
Tommy sort of grins.

1178
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:57,000
He had apparently judged that ball to be a fastball and was going to just sort of squat underneath it, but he said it was a curve and Tommy had to give his head an additional bob.

1179
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,000
One or two pitches, a curve high inside.

1180
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,000
Henrik again ducking down.

1181
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:10,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1182
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:18,000
Two and two.

1183
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Pitch high inside, a fastball for ball three.

1184
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:26,000
Pitch the first batter up in the fifth inning.

1185
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:38,000
Yankees leading three nothing.

1186
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,000
Hatton leans toward third trying to read the signs from Campanella.

1187
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:45,000
Now delivers three to a curve ball high inside for ball four.

1188
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:52,000
And Henrik draws the baseline ball, which opens up matters in the fifth inning.

1189
01:28:52,000 --> 01:29:02,000
Sam Nairn, who is the boss of the Brooklyn Bullfin, gets up now with his mitt and the baseball and I see he's throwing up Jack Banner.

1190
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:09,000
There has not been an agate throw down in the Yankee bullfin today behind Lopat.

1191
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:13,000
Barrow 0 for 2, 0 for 6 for the series.

1192
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Bluffs a bunt and takes a fastball low outside ball wide.

1193
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,000
One and all.

1194
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:32,000
Barrow looking around to see if they do want him to bunt. They don't bunt him very often. Usually they just let him swing.

1195
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:36,000
Outfield, toward right, deep.

1196
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:40,000
Hatton checks first. Pitches. Barrow sets the bunt and takes a curve outside ball two.

1197
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:43,000
And obviously they had to bunt all men.

1198
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:55,000
Casey Stengel, who knows that three runs in the fifth inning sound fine, but sometimes might not be enough by the time he gets to nine, playing for one more, which is the percentage worry.

1199
01:29:55,000 --> 01:30:00,000
Reese comes in from short, talks to Hatton. Robinson 0 from second.

1200
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:07,000
Now the second base combination turning to their defensive positions.

1201
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:11,000
Banner is throwing seriously in the Brooklyn Bullfin.

1202
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:17,000
Barrow asks for time and he calls Presetti. He wants to be sure he's checking the sign.

1203
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:22,000
Barrow's going to go down and ask the third base coach right now, he wants me to bunt or what?

1204
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:27,000
Well, when in doubt, that's the thing to do. I mean, managers would have less gray hairs.

1205
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:32,000
If hitters were complete when they got confused on what they were supposed to do, we'd go ask.

1206
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:37,000
Out of hitters, we'd just pretend the hitters had bluffs through, they knew what the sign was.

1207
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,000
It causes a lot of weird things to happen in games.

1208
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:45,000
Hatton pitches two nothing and Barrow swings with the ground ball through in the right field for a base hit.

1209
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:50,000
There's Henrik around second base and then holds on against Hamanski's throw, which goes over to third base

1210
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:55,000
and gets away from Eddie Mixis and there's nobody backing up third base, so Henrik comes in two third

1211
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:59,000
and Barrow goes in two second. Hatton never got off the mound.

1212
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:02,000
Pitcher Hatton never got off the mound.

1213
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:08,000
Now I don't know why that throw was right in the third base on the low hop, got away from Mixis,

1214
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:12,000
but the man at fault in this play is the pitcher who had never got off pitches mound.

1215
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Whenever a ball in a spot like that has hit the right field and there may be a throw to third,

1216
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,000
The first rule for a pitcher is to back up third base.

1217
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:24,000
Hatton, I guess, just overcome by the situation, never got off the mound.

1218
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:34,000
The error is charged to Eddie Mixis for letting Hamanski's good throw get past it.

1219
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:40,000
So it's a single and error charged to third base, but the pitcher did not back up the play.

1220
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:44,000
Had he backed up the play, runners would have still been at first and second.

1221
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Now it's going to be a deliberate base on balls to DiMaggio to pull up the board at first base.

1222
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:59,000
So there's the base hit at the right field for Barrow just now and he goes right on to second base.

1223
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:04,000
The error charged to Mixis, Henrik is at third, DiMaggio is being purposely walked.

1224
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:08,000
Here comes ball four and the bases are now loaded for New York.

1225
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:15,000
On a walk, a single, an error, which was not only an error of pull-missions at third by Mixis,

1226
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:22,000
but a glaring error of all-mission by the pitcher who got off the mound to back up third base.

1227
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:26,000
In addition to right-hander batter now throwing in the book and bullpen

1228
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:29,000
is a small right-hander by the name of Paul Erskine,

1229
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:34,000
who relieved quite a lot since he was brought up in the middle of the season from Fort Worth.

1230
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:38,000
So the Yankees are leading 3-0 and they are pressing forward now.

1231
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:40,000
They're trying to tap the paint patch here at Brooklyn.

1232
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:42,000
They've got three men on.

1233
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:45,000
The Brooklyn infield of necessity is up very close,

1234
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:49,000
and the batter is Bobby Brown, who doubled his last time to begin that three-run assault.

1235
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:52,000
There's a quick curve above the knees for a called strike.

1236
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:59,000
Brown left-handers pretty well. This is a single. It's quite content to have him up there.

1237
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:01,000
Henrik off third.

1238
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:03,000
He was alert enough when that throw got away from third,

1239
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:06,000
and Hatton was not backing up to come right on over.

1240
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:12,000
Barrow off second, and DiMaggio off first.

1241
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:16,000
Hatton in a jam delivers a curve low outside, and it is ball one.

1242
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,000
Campanella bluffed as he would throw to third.

1243
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:23,000
Henrik ran back, but there was no throw. Mixer's third baseman was not even over to the back.

1244
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,000
They wouldn't have been close had he been there.

1245
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,000
One ball, one strike.

1246
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:37,000
Hatton puffing.

1247
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,000
Deals. Fastball swung on. There's a high foul back on the stands.

1248
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:43,000
Now to play, and it is one ball, two strikes.

1249
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:51,000
The draw is for the expected scramble. Foul ball goes back in there.

1250
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,000
One and two.

1251
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:57,000
The Yankees three.

1252
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:02,000
And threatening to add to that. The Dodgers nothing.

1253
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:11,000
Hatton in a bad spot right now, and he himself added to it by not backing up third base,

1254
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:14,000
which is a rule of thumb play.

1255
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,000
Ball hit the right field, run it first.

1256
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:22,000
Throw. Side on ball. Low outside, and Hatton slipped and fell after he stepped toward first and threw that ball.

1257
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:26,000
It's ball two. Two balls, two strikes.

1258
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:33,000
Joe isn't hurt physically. Of course, any pitch of spirits are bruised when he slips and falls on the mound.

1259
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:37,000
One of the big crowds picked in a World Series game.

1260
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:40,000
Two and two.

1261
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:46,000
Round. Meaning in, Bennett and Eaves, trim figure.

1262
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:54,000
That field toward right. Two-two pitch. Swung on, trickled foul outside first base.

1263
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:57,000
Two and two.

1264
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:04,000
Things moving rather slowly as time being.

1265
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:10,000
Yankees three men on. Henrik at third. Barra at second.

1266
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:21,000
Benadjord first. The infield up tight, hoping for a play at the plate.

1267
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:25,000
Brown choking that bat. Just trying to meet the ball.

1268
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:30,000
The two-two pitch is swung on, and he makes it. It's a line drawn in the right field for a base hit, probably for an extra bag.

1269
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:34,000
Henrik is scored to make it four-nothing. Barra comes in to make it five-nothing.

1270
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:38,000
Hrmanski can't come up with the ball. Benadjord is coming on and are in.

1271
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,000
The third base goes Brown, and three runs are in.

1272
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:46,000
The ball hit the right field wall, and Hrmanski was having trouble trying to pick it up.

1273
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:59,000
And three runs come in to make it six-nothing.

1274
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:05,000
We'll check with the scorers whether that's a triple all the way, or whether it is a double and an arrow on the right field.

1275
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:12,000
It's scored as a triple. The right field wall, as Mel and I told you in the first broadcast, is the most difficult wall in the major leagues to play.

1276
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:16,000
There are so many angles. And that ball was bouncing around, and Hrmanski couldn't come up with it.

1277
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:20,000
He's not used to playing right field anyhow. Playing there because Shirello's hurt.

1278
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:27,000
Short is six-nothing. In favor of New York, a base cleaning triple, a line driving to the right field corner by Brown.

1279
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:33,000
And now Woodley gets the plate. Takes a curve high inside for a ball one.

1280
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:36,000
So all three of these runs are in. They're all to be scored as earned.

1281
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:44,000
These three runs are charged against Joe Hatton. Triple for Brown, with our next inning following his double.

1282
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:53,000
Throw, swung on and beaten down to the big foul. Paul Minner, a big left-hander who relieves on occasion, is trotting from the Brooklyn Dog out down to the bull's end.

1283
01:36:53,000 --> 01:37:02,000
So the young medical student, Bobby Brown, is certainly the doctor as far as fixing up the Yankees is concerned.

1284
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:09,000
He's bad medicine, however, to Brooklyn. In between baseball seasons, he's still taking medicine at Tulane, at New Orleans.

1285
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:13,000
Woodley hits a high fly ball into relatively short left center field.

1286
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:23,000
Snider running in underneath the ball. Here comes his throw, and they hold Brown at third.

1287
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:32,000
Throw comes all the way to the plate. Throw out number one. Woodley, fly ball to center.

1288
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:40,000
Brown is turning to a one-man wrecking crew, getting all three of those runs in.

1289
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:46,000
Cliff Mapes is scheduled to hit, but just a moment, they're going to take him out of there, and Hank Bauer is going to bat.

1290
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:55,000
So Hank Bauer is coming on to hit for Mapes to get a right-handed hitter in the ball game against relief left-hander Joe Hatton.

1291
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:59,000
Now Bauer's officially in the game. Here is the announcement coming up over to PA.

1292
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:13,000
The second place, Lennie Lark, number 25, Hank Bauer batting relief.

1293
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:18,000
One man gone, and a few remaining up. It is six-nothing, a half a dozen for the Yankees.

1294
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:22,000
If they can hold any part of this lead, then they've got a vice on the series.

1295
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:26,000
Pitches, a curve, low inside, gets away from Campanella for just a moment.

1296
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:32,000
Brown has to stay at third base. He didn't start. He didn't have a long lead off third and couldn't start.

1297
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:36,000
So it is nothing more than ball one. The ball rolled back all of 20 feet.

1298
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:40,000
In other words, had he taken one of those big run-ups at third, he could have coasted in.

1299
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:43,000
But he was just standing at third, and then he made a bluff run.

1300
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Then happened the pitcher, got off the mound, started to the plate, so they held him up.

1301
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:54,000
So Hank Bauer pinch-hitting.

1302
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:59,000
All runs earned, the arrow, you know, allowed an extra base to be taken.

1303
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:04,000
Six-nothing, favor New York.

1304
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:09,000
Outfield toward left, throw, curve ball swung on a beacon-down foul, one-and-one.

1305
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:16,000
All hips are right-handed.

1306
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:22,000
He started in the outfield in game two.

1307
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:29,000
One hip, or I bet.

1308
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:33,000
He and Mape sort of on a swing-shift basis.

1309
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:37,000
That is, when injuries are such that they had extra outfields, he could afford to switch around.

1310
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:44,000
One-and-one pitch, curve ball too high, ball too. Two balls, one strike.

1311
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:47,000
Paul Menna takes Jack Bata's plate from the Brooklyn Bulls end.

1312
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:52,000
So it is left-handed Menna and right-handed Erskine now warming up for Brooklyn.

1313
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:55,000
There's been no action in the Yankee both ends.

1314
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:57,000
They're just sitting back watching.

1315
01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:00,000
Curve ball swung on, hit out into right center field, rest of the shot, fly ball.

1316
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:02,000
Hemanci comes in, makes the catch.

1317
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:05,000
Here comes a throw and Brown again is held up at third base.

1318
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:08,000
They throw, gets away from Caponella for the mullet, but he recovers it.

1319
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:16,000
And Casey Stengel, I think, wanted Brown to be sent in.

1320
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:18,000
But Grazetti held him up.

1321
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:20,000
Stengel had even jumped to the front of the doggauld.

1322
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:23,000
Impotuning, imploring, come on.

1323
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:27,000
The throw was quite wide. He would have made it had he run, but he didn't run.

1324
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:30,000
So that's a put-out for the right fielder.

1325
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:33,000
Two-and-a-go on top of the fifth.

1326
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:40,000
Stengel on every run he can get.

1327
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:43,000
Now we have Jerry Coleman, who's played such a distinguished second base.

1328
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,000
He's had three hits so far in the series.

1329
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:50,000
Knocked in, would turn to be the winning run yesterday.

1330
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:52,000
Right-hand hitter, working well up on the handle of that bat.

1331
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:55,000
I'd feel around toward left.

1332
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:56,000
There's a ground ball, hits the short.

1333
01:40:56,000 --> 01:41:00,000
Reese juggles it, it gets off of his chest, he recovers, throws to first.

1334
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:01,000
In time for the out.

1335
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:05,000
So Reese recovers.

1336
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:12,000
And Hatton finally gets the three outs, but the Yankees came up with three more in the seventh inning.

1337
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:15,000
Three runs on three hits.

1338
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:17,000
One error, one man left.

1339
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:25,000
So the total score now at the end of four-and-a-half, New York six, but the net.

1340
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:27,000
So the Yankees leading six to nothing.

1341
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:37,000
Ed Lofat warming up on the mound, and all warmed up and ready to go as we move into the last half of the fifth inning.

1342
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:42,000
Here's Mel Allen, who's done such a fine job broadcasting the Yankees for these recent years,

1343
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:46,000
and on these World Series broadcasts for Gillette.

1344
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:49,000
Mel, you still wondering about the ninth inning?

1345
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:58,000
Well, I will for the simple reason that every last half of the ninth inning has been played in this series.

1346
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:00,000
Yankees leading six to nothing.

1347
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:05,000
It's the last half of the fifth inning.

1348
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:08,000
Louis Almo leading off for the Dodgers, flying to left field in the second.

1349
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Left hand to Eddie Lofat, into the windup.

1350
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:15,000
In comes the pitch swung on to pop up off to the left of the plate just in behind it.

1351
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:19,000
Barra under the ball, and he makes the catch, and there's one away.

1352
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:24,000
Louis Almo fouls out to Barra, back of the plate, last half of the fifth inning.

1353
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:27,000
Six to nothing. The score favor the Yankees.

1354
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:33,000
The first ball game in this series in which there has been such a disparity in the score.

1355
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:41,000
Every game up until now has been decided on a one-run basis, and out here is Roy Campanella getting a hand.

1356
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:47,000
He did a lot of scrambling and rambling back of that plate in the top of the fifth inning.

1357
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:52,000
Doing a lot of work on throws in from the outfield, out on a short pass ball.

1358
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:59,000
Eddie Lofat of Little Rock, Arkansas, pitching to Roy Campanella.

1359
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:06,000
Eddie's a native New Yorker being born and brought up here, but resides down Little Rock now.

1360
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:09,000
Left hander, Studi Jogisai, starts the work, into the windup.

1361
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:13,000
Brown comes left arm, the pitch swung on, a ground ball hit wide of third.

1362
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:23,000
Drozudo backs up Brown, up with the ball, fires over to Henrikh, and it's in time for the out.

1363
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:26,000
The scooter, scamper to his right, backed up Brown.

1364
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:31,000
As that ball eluded, Brown going to his left, and Phil went far to his right,

1365
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:37,000
field of that ball about 20 feet off the third baseline, and tossed to Henrikh in time to get Campanella.

1366
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:41,000
Up comes Gene Hermansky, who struck out in the third inning.

1367
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:47,000
The official paid attendance today, 33,934.

1368
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:52,000
Lofat delivers to Gene inside, ball one.

1369
01:43:52,000 --> 01:44:01,000
Yesterday's attendance was 32,788, a gate take of $164,016.71.

1370
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:08,000
Today, 33,934 people. The pitch to Gene swung on, fouled off, the handle of the bat at the plate.

1371
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:18,000
Gate receipts $167,906.37.

1372
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:24,000
66,000 was the first game at the stadium, 66,224.

1373
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,000
Second game, 70,053.

1374
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:31,000
Broken into smaller capacity, of course. Yankee six, the Dodgers nothing.

1375
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:37,000
It's the last half of the fifth inning, fourth game of the World Series.

1376
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:40,000
Gene with the open stance, bent slightly to the knees, awaits the pitch.

1377
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:43,000
Here it is, swung on, hits son of the end of the hole between first and second.

1378
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:46,000
Out in the right field for a base hit, taken on a couple of hops by Bauer,

1379
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,000
hops the ball, picks it up, flips on end of second, Hermanski holds it first.

1380
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:53,000
The relay gets through the legs of Rossuto, dashing to second are Coleman and Brown,

1381
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:58,000
but it wasn't far enough away as Rossuto to retrieve the ball and permit Hermanski to take the chance.

1382
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:01,000
So we're going to have a pinch hitter, Tommy Brown.

1383
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:10,000
Second please, Paul Brooklyn, number five, Tommy Brown, 98,1.

1384
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Tommy Brown, a young fella coming up to hit for Joe Hatton and Jim Turner, Yankee pitching coach,

1385
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:26,000
crawls time, trot down to the mound to talk to Lopat as they discuss the manner in which they want to pitch to Brown.

1386
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:34,000
He is the only native citizen on the Brooklyn Ball Club, a six foot, 165 pounder,

1387
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:40,000
born on December the 6th, 1927, so that should make him only 21.

1388
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:47,000
Be 22 in December.

1389
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:52,000
He was 16 years old when he joined the Brooklyn Ball Club, played shortstop during the war.

1390
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:57,000
Tom Brown, pinch hitting for Joe Hatton, right hand hitter, Hermanski,

1391
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:01,000
with that single right fielder, line drive between first and second on first base.

1392
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:04,000
That's the first hit off Lopat since Reese opened the game with a double.

1393
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:07,000
The pitch is swung on as a looping fly ball in short right.

1394
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:10,000
Bauer comes in, gets under the ball and makes the catch.

1395
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:14,000
Sort of a half swing, looked as if Brown wanted to change his mind but couldn't,

1396
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:21,000
but still got enough to drive that ball out into right where Bauer took it.

1397
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:26,000
No runs, one hit, no errors, one left on.

1398
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:32,000
And Red will check our five inning totals, the Yankees six runs, eight hits, no errors.

1399
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:39,000
They've had five left on. The Dodgers no runs, two hits, one error, and three men left on.

1400
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:42,000
And now Carl Erskine is going to come on to do the pitching for the Dodgers,

1401
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:48,000
and while he walks to the mound, we pause ten seconds for station identification.

1402
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:52,000
This is the mutual broadcasting system.

1403
01:46:52,000 --> 01:47:10,000
Hear the World Series exclusively on WOR, see it on WOR-TV, Channel 9, WOR and WOR-FM, New York.

1404
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:14,000
Joe Hatton, who came on on the fourth inning with two outs and pitched to one batter,

1405
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:22,000
went one and one third innings and gave up a total of three hits and three runs.

1406
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:26,000
Don Uckle went the first three and two thirds innings, gave up five hits and three runs.

1407
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:36,000
So Carl Erskine comes on, a right-hander, to do the pitching as we go to the sixth inning.

1408
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:42,000
He's a 5'10, 156 pounder from Anderson, Indiana.

1409
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:46,000
He's 22 years old, will beat 23 on December the 13th.

1410
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:53,000
Eddie Lopat moves into the batter's box and is greeted with a round of applause.

1411
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:58,000
He has done a noble job for the Yankees thus far, pitching two hit ball over the first five innings.

1412
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:02,000
It's six to nothing, New York, as we go to the top of the sixth.

1413
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:08,000
Lopat, in addition, doing some fine pitching, unloaded a double left center on the fourth inning to drive and a run,

1414
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:11,000
after having skied to deep center in the second inning.

1415
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:15,000
Erskine taking his time.

1416
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:19,000
Blue Jordan, the National League, calling balls and strikes.

1417
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:21,000
The relief right-hander's into the windup.

1418
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:23,000
In comes the pitch and it is swung on.

1419
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:25,000
It's a high pop-up off the right of the plate down toward first.

1420
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:29,000
Gil Hodges dashes in almost halfway to the plate, makes the catch in fair territory,

1421
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:32,000
three feet off the line, and there's one away.

1422
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:36,000
Now coming to bat is Phil Rizzuto, who's had two for three.

1423
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:40,000
After having had but one hit in the first three games of the series,

1424
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:46,000
he's had two today, two singles in the first and fourth innings, grounded a third in the third.

1425
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,000
Eddie mixes it in close in the event of the bunt.

1426
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,000
Out the heel, shaded toward left.

1427
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:53,000
Erskine's delivery, he's swung on.

1428
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:58,000
It's a high foul going out of play to the left of the plate, up over the roof and out of the ballpark.

1429
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:02,000
Yankees six, Dodgers nothing, sixth inning.

1430
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:10,000
Again, we'd like to caution you that our Cavalcade of Sports broadcast of the World Series,

1431
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:12,000
brought to you by the Gillette Safety Racer Company,

1432
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:16,000
will come to you tomorrow one hour later than on the weekdays.

1433
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:20,000
12.45 Eastern Standard Time, 1.45 tomorrow.

1434
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:25,000
Here's the pitch inside and the count is one and one on the scooter.

1435
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:26,000
It's fastball.

1436
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:32,000
Frank Percetti coaching there at third, Bill Dickey at first.

1437
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:34,000
Erskine working rapidly, delivers.

1438
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:37,000
Rizzuto swings and sends a drive to left center field.

1439
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:38,000
Almo and Snyder converge.

1440
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:44,000
It's Almo out there in left center near the wall, making the catch about three feet away from the wall

1441
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:47,000
at the spot where Peewee Reese's homer entered the stands yesterday,

1442
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:50,000
but this one did not get that much carry.

1443
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:53,000
So they're two down.

1444
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:56,000
And up to bat comes Tommy Henrik.

1445
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:58,000
He's had one for two in the ball game.

1446
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:05,000
He's singled in the first inning, grounded to Hodges in the third and walked in the fifth.

1447
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:10,000
Tommy started the Yankees off in the fifth inning with that base on balls that led to three runs.

1448
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:12,000
Brown scoring the maul with a triple.

1449
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:14,000
Pitch is low outside for a ball.

1450
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:17,000
Triple of the base is loaded.

1451
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:19,000
Outfield plays Henrik to pull.

1452
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:24,000
They have shaded around toward right and center and right with Almo looking for Tommy perhaps to slice toward left a bit.

1453
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:26,000
Mixes wide of the line at third.

1454
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:27,000
Here's your delivery.

1455
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:30,000
Tommy Henrik swings and sends a drive to right field.

1456
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:31,000
There's Hermanski racing over to the corner.

1457
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:33,000
The ball is up against the wall, bounding off to Hermanski.

1458
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:37,000
Henrik takes the turn but holds up quickly and has to come back to first.

1459
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:42,000
As Hermanski played that ball, the rebound off the wall and right in beautiful fashion,

1460
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:46,000
and Tommy had to hold up with a line single off the wall in right field.

1461
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:50,000
His second hit of the ball game, his third of the series.

1462
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:54,000
His first one was a payoff punch in the first game, a ninth inning homer off Newcomb,

1463
01:50:54,000 --> 01:51:00,000
to win that opening game of the series.

1464
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:02,000
That's the Yankees' ninth hit of the ball game.

1465
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:04,000
Yogi Berra steps in.

1466
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:08,000
One out of three, single to right field in the fifth inning.

1467
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:09,000
Erskine takes the stretch.

1468
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:10,000
Hodges holds against Henrik.

1469
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:23,000
The pitch to Berra, right over for a call strike, half-speed ball.

1470
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:26,000
One strike to count.

1471
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:28,000
Again, Erskine's ready.

1472
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:30,000
Here's his pitch.

1473
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:31,000
Outside, ball one.

1474
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:33,000
Outfield, infield, set up.

1475
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:42,000
Same for Berra as for Henrik.

1476
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:44,000
One ball, one strike, two down.

1477
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:46,000
Henrik moves off first base.

1478
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:47,000
Erskine sets throws.

1479
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:50,000
The pitch is swung on to high pop-up around second base.

1480
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:51,000
Jackie Robinson calls for the ball.

1481
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:58,000
Shades his eyes from the sun, and he makes the catch for the out.

1482
01:51:58,000 --> 01:51:59,000
No runs for the Yankees.

1483
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:00,000
One hit.

1484
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:01,000
No errors for the Dodgers.

1485
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:03,000
One left on for the Yanks.

1486
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:11,000
And the score, at the end of five and one half innings of play, the Yankees six, the Dodgers nothing.

1487
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:17,000
As Willard Marshall, hard-hitting outfielder for the New York Giants, puts it,

1488
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:20,000
The new Gillette super-speed razor is a bearcat.

1489
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:23,000
Yes, and here he is to nail it down.

1490
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:30,000
Well, fans, if you want a razor that is a razor, take my advice and get this one-piece Gillette.

1491
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:36,000
It gives me the slickest shaves in the world, and does it so gently that my face feels swell when I'm through.

1492
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:37,000
How about convenience?

1493
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:40,000
I can't imagine anything handier.

1494
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:45,000
Blade changing is no trouble, and to clean a razor you simply rinse it.

1495
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:49,000
Men, see what modern shaving ease and convenience are like.

1496
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:54,000
Ask for the new Gillette super-speed razor set at your favorite store.

1497
01:52:54,000 --> 01:53:02,000
You get a fine, precision-made Gillette razor and a ten-blade Gillette dispenser in a serviceable styrene travel case.

1498
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:09,000
A $1.75 value for only a dollar.

1499
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:15,000
Last half of the sixth inning, the Brooklyn Dodgers trailing the Yankees by a score of six to nothing.

1500
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:22,000
We'll come up with the top of the order, Reese, Mixis, and Snyder.

1501
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:32,000
In the first game of the World Series, the Dodgers had only two hits, the Yankees five,

1502
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:40,000
and in the second game the Dodgers had seven hits, the Yankees six, and yesterday the Yankees had five hits, and the Dodgers had five hits.

1503
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:51,000
So the Yankee total of nine hits in this series is a series high, not in history but for this current classic.

1504
01:53:51,000 --> 01:54:00,000
As we come to the last half of the sixth inning, Dodger fans are beginning to call for a little action with some rhythmic applause.

1505
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:06,000
Peewee Reese, right-hand batter on the first pitch, takes inside around the belt buckle for ball one.

1506
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:13,000
Reese doubled a left center the first inning, popped out to first and the third.

1507
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:23,000
There the Dodger fans now clamoring for a little activity. The pitch is strike call over the outside corner, Lopat screwball.

1508
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:27,000
They play Reese to pull.

1509
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:31,000
Hang bar in right field, not too far over into right center.

1510
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:36,000
Brown in close at third and as Lopat was ready to go into his windup, Reese stepped down on him.

1511
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:38,000
Time call, now he's back in.

1512
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:42,000
Jake Pitler walking up and down, coaching it first.

1513
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:48,000
Once again, batter and pitcher unable to get together. Reese stepped out as Lopat was ready.

1514
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:55,000
Now we're all set. Here's the one-one pitch on its way. Reese takes inside for ball two, two and one.

1515
01:54:55,000 --> 01:55:05,000
Milton Stock coaching it third for Brooklyn.

1516
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:10,000
Now the two-one delivery on its way and Reese swings and sends a drive into left center field.

1517
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:15,000
Demage falls down as he starts in. He can't get to it and the ball drops for a base hit.

1518
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:21,000
He comes up for the ball, flips his throw in to Coleman and Reese is on with a pop fly single left center.

1519
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:26,000
Demage breaking fast, tripped and fell.

1520
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:34,000
And before he could get up and go, the ball had dropped for the base hit.

1521
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:42,000
Now you're going to have a pinch hitter for Eddie Mixis. Billy Cox coming up.

1522
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:50,000
Cox was injured about two months before the season ended.

1523
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:59,000
I said two months is on Labor Day, wasn't it Red? Labor Day morning and this is his first appearance since that time.

1524
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:04,000
And Red, how did he injure himself?

1525
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:09,000
He simply was running hard to score a run, turned his ankles and came around third base.

1526
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:16,000
Early in the morning of the morning game of Labor Day. It's his first time in any action in Dakota, Mel.

1527
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:21,000
Right hand hitter, Billy Cox batting for Mixis. The pitch swung on.

1528
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:38,000
Now we're down in front of the plate, could be trouble. Lopat up to the ball, can't make a play.

1529
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:45,000
Billy Cox, top save, it's that roll down toward third. Lopat came in to grab it, Barrow went out.

1530
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:53,000
Lopat grabbed it but Cox was hurrying down the line and it's a base hit.

1531
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:59,000
Reese goes to second and now the Dodgers have the pot boiling here in the last sixth inning.

1532
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:04,000
Runners on first and second, nobody out and Duke Snyder at bat.

1533
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:11,000
He grounded Billy, he grounded in the first inning to Bobby Brown at third, skied out in the fourth.

1534
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:21,000
Left hand hitter, the pitch swung on and fouled off on the ground to the left of the plate, strike one.

1535
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:29,000
Reese on second, Cox on first, Snyder the batter, Robinson on deck, nobody out, last of the sixth inning.

1536
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:36,000
Yank six, Dodgers nothing. And the Duke up.

1537
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:44,000
Lopat studies Yogi's sign, outfield about spread away for Snyder.

1538
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:52,000
Lopat studies the sign intently, Nia has his stretch, Reese off second, Cox off first, here's the pitch, curve swung on, foul,

1539
01:57:52,000 --> 01:58:08,000
tips, strike two. He had Duke going for that change up, slow curve.

1540
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:22,000
In 1947 we had several occasions on which outfielders fell down and again we've had it in this series.

1541
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:27,000
Trying to make those sharp cuts.

1542
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:35,000
Lopat stretches, runners move away from first and second the pitch and Snyder takes outside for ball one. One ball, two strikes.

1543
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:42,000
Phil Rizzuto is over close to second base and in halfway. Bobby Brown near the third base line, about five or six feet off the line

1544
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:48,000
and about halfway back on the skinned part of the infield. Big shot between third and short.

1545
01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:54,000
Jerry Coleman in a step or so halfway between first and second, Henry deep near the line, the stretch, Reese off second, Cox off first,

1546
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:59,000
here's the pitch and Snyder swings and sends the ground ball out to Rizzuto, is up for that, steps on second, himself fires to Henry,

1547
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:11,000
The double play, going to third is Reese.

1548
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:19,000
Duke Snyder ran one right at the scooter, had him pegged perfectly in so far as placement was concerned.

1549
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:30,000
He grabbed Duke's hot bounder, stepped on second to force Cox and fired on over to Henry to double up Snyder. That's the Yankees fourth double play of the series.

1550
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:43,000
And now coming to bat is Jackie Robinson. Snyder, like DiMaggio, two of the big guns and the two teams attacks, both have been stymied in this series.

1551
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:51,000
But Robin Snyder's had one hit and DiMaggio one hit. And now here's Jackie Robinson, right hand batter of the pitch, swung on and missed, strike one.

1552
01:59:51,000 --> 02:00:01,000
Reese on third, moving to third on the double play. Last six thinning, six to nothing New York. Billy Cox has gone down to the Dodger bullpen to loosen up his arm.

1553
02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:12,000
He'll go in to play third when we go to the seventh inning. Robinson grounded short and walk. National League's leading hitter this year.

1554
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:21,000
Texas Curbs outside. Ball one, one and one.

1555
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:33,000
Big gap in the outfield is in right center. DiMaggio and Woodling looking for Robinson to pull. Bauer not too far in the right center, looking for Jackie to slice toward right.

1556
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:43,000
The infield shaded around toward third. Jerry Coleman about two strides to the right of second. Here's your pitch. Robinson swings a line to the left field for a base hit to score Reese, taken on two hops by Woodling.

1557
02:00:43,000 --> 02:00:49,000
There's a throw in to Coleman and it's a six to one ball game.

1558
02:00:49,000 --> 02:01:05,000
Jackie Robinson with a solid line drive to left field to score Reese from third. It's now Yankees six, Dodgers one and up comes Gil Hodges who fly to left field and struck out.

1559
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:12,000
Right hand batter, Louis Almos on deck.

1560
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:30,000
Dodgers scoring their first run of the ball game. Gil, big tall, rangey, powerful boy. On the first pitch swings and bounces off the plate, gets in between the legs of Barrett, strike one.

1561
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:35,000
They play Hodges almost the same way in the outfield as they do Jackie Robinson.

1562
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:48,000
Tommy Henrik holding against Roddy, who with two out and his team five runs behind may not be attempting to affect the steal at second in a tight ball game or close one.

1563
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:54,000
That might be the order of the day.

1564
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:58,000
But then there are always exceptions to the rules so we'll watch him.

1565
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:07,000
In the second pitch studies Yogi Sein as he stretched Robinson with a short lead. Here's the pitch. Swung on, a bouncer hit right back through the middle out of a second in the center.

1566
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:26,000
Robinson around second on his way to third to match up the ball, throws to third but it is not in time. Robinson goes into third holding first as Hodges and the Dodgers have runners on first and third and Louis Almos coming to bat.

1567
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:38,000
So the Dodgers come alive here in the sixth inning with four hits, two of them solidly belted.

1568
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:44,000
And Louis Almos coming up with Roy Campanella on deck.

1569
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:53,000
One run in, two down, Robinson on third, Hodges on first. Henrik goes over to the mound to say something to Lopat.

1570
02:02:53,000 --> 02:03:02,000
A bit grassy, gets up off the Yankee bench not to go warm up but just to shift his position as we take a look down there.

1571
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:10,000
Ball players sitting on a bench like to move about. Well let's move over here and get into another spot. Maybe that'll change the luck.

1572
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:15,000
And on the Dodger bench they're stirring around.

1573
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:24,000
So Louis Almos steps in, right hand hitter, Robinson on third, Hodges on first, two down, one run in, last to sixth, Lopat takes his stretch.

1574
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:32,000
Here's the delivery. It's strike call over the outside card, even the screwball.

1575
02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:44,000
Outfield for Almos, shaded toward right, in center and right. Woodling looking for Almos to pull but not too sharply. Almos pulled one very sharply yesterday.

1576
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:48,000
He occasionally does but for the most part it'll hit toward left center and around that way a bit.

1577
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:55,000
Now there's the signal by Jim Turner, Yankee coach to the bullpen for some action.

1578
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:59,000
And Lopat delivers, Almos swings and sends a ground ball right back through the middle.

1579
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:27,000
Here's it, O'Peeca, Robinson scores, Hodges on second, on his way to third, the match is closed into second and the Dodgers have two runs in.

1580
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:38,000
It's now a 6-2 ball game. The Dodgers have come up with five hits in the sixth inning and now Casey Stengel comes out of the Yankee dugout walking to the mound to talk to Lopat.

1581
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:45,000
And Allie Reynolds begins to deliver in the Yankee bullpen.

1582
02:04:45,000 --> 02:05:03,000
Big Ranchy gets his jacket and when I said a moment ago that Ranchy was getting up off the bench and shifting his position, he shifted more than we had anticipated. At that point he is going down to the bullpen.

1583
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:13,000
Stengel talking to Lopat. Now he leaves him, he's going to let him stay on in there. He got Roy Campanella coming up.

1584
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:27,000
After the double play, three consecutive singles by Robinson, Hodges and Almos and two runs are in. It's a 6-2 ball game, two men are on and Roy Campanella who bounced out to Lopat and grounded his short is up at the plate.

1585
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:36,000
A right hand hitter, Hodges on third, Almos on first, outfield around toward left and the Dodger fans are now up in arms.

1586
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:50,000
Eddie Lopat in the stretch, here's the pitch, Campanella swings, the lines went out to left field for a base hit, in comes Hodges to score, holding it second is Almos, the throw goes into third, that's going to be all for Lopat.

1587
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:24,000
And now the National League contingent and the Dodger Rooters have something to cheer about. Lopat is going to stay on in there though with Gene Hermanski, a left hand hitter coming up.

1588
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:41,000
Reynolds actually hasn't had too much time to get ready. He just started warming up a moment or so ago so he's not really warm. And here's Gene Hermanski who struck out in single to right with Almos on second, Campanella on first, three runs in.

1589
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:48,000
Here's the pitch, swung on and bowled off to the left of the plate, strike one. The Dodgers are back into the ball game, it's 6-3.

1590
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:58,000
Casey Stengel comes to the front of the Yankee dugout hollering something out to Lopat. And the crowd has come alive, it being a predominantly Brooklyn crowd of course.

1591
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:13,000
The game's being played at Ebbets Field. Coming alive too, the Dodger bullpen with a left hander and a right hander throwing, Bata and Minner.

1592
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:23,000
Almos on second, Campanella on first, four consecutive singles here by the Dodgers after two are out and a runner on. Six hits on all in this inning.

1593
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:36,000
Lopat with the stretch, runners move away from first and second, here's the pitch, it is way outside for a ball.

1594
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:44,000
Ball games have a way of reversing themselves with lightning-like profidity.

1595
02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:53,000
All right, Almos off second, Campanella off first with a big lead, the stretch by Lopat has a pitch, swung on, lined, correct field for a base hit.

1596
02:07:53,000 --> 02:08:21,000
Here comes Almos around third, he comes in to score, the throw goes to second, Campanella goes to third, and out comes Stengel.

1597
02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:29,000
It is a six to four ball game.

1598
02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:45,000
Five consecutive singles after two are out and the Dodgers are right back in it, six to four, with Allie Reynolds coming out of the Yankee bullpen to take over for Eddie Lopat.

1599
02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:57,000
Lopat, who pitched two-hit ball for five innings and who got two out in the sixth inning, unable to get to the next one.

1600
02:08:57,000 --> 02:09:12,000
He went five in two-thirds innings, gave up seven hits here in the sixth, nine all-toes in the ball game, five in a row,

1601
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:19,000
and has allowed four runs and is responsible for the two-maner on base.

1602
02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:26,000
And Carl Perillo, who had started out of the dugout to pinch hit, has gone back in.

1603
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:33,000
Looks like Spider Jorgensen, a left-hand hitter, is going to come out to do the pinch hitting.

1604
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:48,000
So it's a big inning for the Dodgers and Jorgensen is going to hit for Erskine as Allie Reynolds comes on to take over for the Yankees.

1605
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:58,000
Allie Reynolds, who pitched the one-nothing shutout for New York in the opener of the series against Don Newcomb, coming on in relief.

1606
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:06,000
And while he takes a few warm-up pitches, we pause ten seconds for station identification.

1607
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:10,000
This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

1608
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:26,000
Hear the World Series exclusively on WOR. See it on WOR-TV Channel 9, WOR and WOR-FM, New York.

1609
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:37,000
Red's been checking the record book for us, and you might have been wondering whether or not these five consecutive hits by the Dodgers, so far the sixth inning is a record.

1610
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:42,000
And Red, what have you found?

1611
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:48,000
Well, I find that it's not a record now. The most consecutive hits in an inning are eight.

1612
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:57,000
The Giants in the seventh inning in 1921 on the seventh of October made eight in a row, the most hits in an inning, ten.

1613
02:10:57,000 --> 02:11:01,000
The Athletics in the seventh inning on October 12, 1929 made ten in one inning.

1614
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:06,000
Rob, the joint's jumping now, so you better try and calm it down.

1615
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:11,000
Spider Jorgensen, a left-hand hitter, comes in to bat for Erskine. Campanella on third.

1616
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:19,000
Hermanski with his second straight hit on first, four runs in, six to four the score, play for the Yankees.

1617
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:26,000
Allie Reynolds ready to pitch the left-hand batter, throws, and it's over for a call strike, fastball.

1618
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:33,000
On deck is Peewee Reese. Jorgensen is the ninth man to come to bat in this inning for Brooklyn.

1619
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:43,000
And so as we hinted earlier in the game, both Red and I, the fourth games of World Series play between the Yankees.

1620
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:47,000
And Dodgers are generally productive of something that borders on the spectacular.

1621
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:53,000
And here are the Dodgers who were behind 6-0. Now in there, 6-4 on the pitch, and Jorgensen swings and fouls it off.

1622
02:11:53,000 --> 02:12:03,000
Left with the plate, and it's out of play. Strike two.

1623
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:07,000
Thirty-odd thousand who are out here are all up in arms.

1624
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:16,000
Regardless of what their partisanship may be, they're rooting one way and then the other.

1625
02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:18,000
But they're all hollering.

1626
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:22,000
All right, Allie Reynolds. Now looks to get the sign from Yogi.

1627
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:29,000
She's on third. Hermanski is on first. Reynolds with a stretch. Jorgensen the batter.

1628
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:34,000
And the pitch. It's strike three. Call a fastball right through there for the letters.

1629
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:39,000
And Jorgensen argues with played on fire Lou Jordan.

1630
02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:45,000
And then slings his bat away. And then he stops and turns and goes back toward Jordan.

1631
02:12:45,000 --> 02:12:51,000
And then turns and remembering the evening job, the commissioner of baseball, A.B. Chandler.

1632
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:54,000
Starts to go back to the dugout. Then he comes back up to Jordan.

1633
02:12:54,000 --> 02:12:57,000
And now he's going away again.

1634
02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:05,000
At the end of six innings, it is New York, six runs, nine hits, no errors.

1635
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:12,000
Six left on. Brooklyn, four runs, nine hits. One error and five men left on.

1636
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:18,000
Ralph Branca, who pitched such beautiful ball yesterday to the ninth inning, is in the bullpen now for Brooklyn.

1637
02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:25,000
This is a big ball game for both teams. The Dodgers need it to stay right in there.

1638
02:13:25,000 --> 02:13:32,000
The Yankees need it to keep the jump.

1639
02:13:32,000 --> 02:13:37,000
And also the Dodger rally is forced Casey Stangler to bring in his start of that first game.

1640
02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:44,000
Here's Joe DiMaggio swings and fouls it back. Strike one.

1641
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:50,000
As Jack Bata, long, lean right-hander, has come on in relief.

1642
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:56,000
Erskine was removed for a pinch hitter.

1643
02:13:56,000 --> 02:14:01,000
We're in the seventh inning. Yankee six. Dodgers four.

1644
02:14:01,000 --> 02:14:07,000
The right-hander throws. DiMaggio swings and misses. Curve ball. Strike two.

1645
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:13,000
Joe has walked twice in this ball game and drove the deep left center in the fourth inning.

1646
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:18,000
A ball that came close to being all the way, but not quite.

1647
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:23,000
Two-strike count on Joe. Right-hander, Bata throws. Swung on.

1648
02:14:23,000 --> 02:14:32,000
Little nub grounder hit out towards second. Jackie Robinson charges up with it. Throws to Hodges. DiMaggio's out at first.

1649
02:14:32,000 --> 02:14:38,000
One up and one away for New York in the seventh inning. And here's Bobby Brown, who walked, doubled, and tripled.

1650
02:14:38,000 --> 02:14:51,000
With the bases loaded in the fifth inning, he scored in the fourth with his one-out double on a double by Mapes.

1651
02:14:51,000 --> 02:15:00,000
Bobby Brown has had an amazing series batting average. Bata delivers to Bobby. High. Ball one.

1652
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:10,000
In 1947, Brown had three for three in the series. Pinch hits.

1653
02:15:10,000 --> 02:15:18,000
And so far, he's had three hits in this series. So he's had six hits and ten times at bat. He swings and misses. Strike one.

1654
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:25,000
He has a 600 batting average for World Series play.

1655
02:15:25,000 --> 02:15:35,000
One ball, one strike, one out. Seventh inning. New York six. Brooklyn four. Gene Woodling on deck.

1656
02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:47,000
Jack Band into the windup. In comes the pitch. Curve. Swung on. A ground ball hit right to Robinson. He's up with it. Throws over to Hodges. Two away.

1657
02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:56,000
Two up and two down. And now here's Gene Woodling, who flied to center, walked, and flied to center.

1658
02:15:56,000 --> 02:16:06,000
Jack Bata, a six-foot-two, 165-pounder from Hutchinson, Kansas. 26 years of age.

1659
02:16:06,000 --> 02:16:12,000
Done some fine relief work for the Dodgers this year. Delivers to Gene outside. Ball one.

1660
02:16:12,000 --> 02:16:23,000
Sometimes in a game like this, where one team gets off to a commanding lead and then suddenly sees it slipping away, you have a spectacle of one team slipping and the other one coming.

1661
02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:31,000
Here's your delivery. And it's in there at the knees for a called strike. The one team has lost its momentum. The other one is gaining.

1662
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:38,000
And then the question becomes, how far will the one meet the other? And will they pass or not?

1663
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:54,000
The one-one delivery. Breaking ball just outside. Ball two. Very close. Two balls, one strike. Yankee six. Brooklyn four. Seventh inning.

1664
02:16:54,000 --> 02:17:03,000
You have seen in this series the very factors that drove both of these teams to thrilling finishes and wins in their respective leagues.

1665
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:12,000
That is indomitable fortitude. They both have all the courage in the world. The two-one pitch. Swung on. A ground ball hit right to Jackie Robinson.

1666
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:26,000
He's up for that throw to Hodges. The ending is over.

1667
02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:35,000
No runs. No hits. No errors. Nobody left on. And the score at the end of six and a half innings. Yankee six. Brooklyn four.

1668
02:17:35,000 --> 02:17:43,000
You know when Willard Marshall of the New York Giants fanned with you earlier about the Gillette Super Speed Racer, he mentioned how gently it shaves.

1669
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:52,000
Yes, gently is the word for it, folks. Every stroke is light and gentle. There's no drag, no pull, no smart, no burn.

1670
02:17:52,000 --> 02:17:58,000
It's a nice, skim the whiskers off and when you're through, your face looks its best and feels great.

1671
02:17:58,000 --> 02:18:05,000
This is a precision instrument. It can't jam, can't clog, and there's nothing to take apart or put together.

1672
02:18:05,000 --> 02:18:12,000
For shaving ease and convenience worth talking about, ask for the new Gillette Super Speed Racer Set.

1673
02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:24,000
It's got a fine, easy-shaving Gillette one-piece razor, a Gillette dispenser loaded with ten factory-sharp Gillette blue blades, and an attractive, serviceable styrene travel case.

1674
02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:33,000
All in all, a big $1.75 value for only a dollar.

1675
02:18:33,000 --> 02:18:40,000
Last half of the seventh inning, and it's going to be the top of the order for the Dodgers.

1676
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:46,000
Nine men batted in the four-run sixth inning. It was all started off by Peewee Reese, and he's coming up again.

1677
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:52,000
He's had two out of three today, a double in the first inning, single in the sixth, popped out to first in the third inning.

1678
02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:57,000
Cox and Snyder to follow. Reynolds delivers. Reese on a curve, swings and drives at the right center field.

1679
02:18:57,000 --> 02:19:02,000
Bauer races over and back and takes it for the out.

1680
02:19:02,000 --> 02:19:10,000
Reese lines the right center with Hank Bauer racing over to take it, and now you've got Billy Cox coming up.

1681
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:20,000
He batted for Mixus in the sixth inning and beat out a roller. Brown and Barrett at the mound now, talking to Reynolds.

1682
02:19:20,000 --> 02:19:25,000
Both bullpens for the time being inactive.

1683
02:19:25,000 --> 02:19:35,000
Duke Snyder is on deck in case he's tangled, comes to the front of the Yankee dugout, and hollers out to Reynolds.

1684
02:19:35,000 --> 02:19:40,000
And he tells him to tell Hank Bauer to move over toward the right field line more for this right-hand hitter.

1685
02:19:40,000 --> 02:19:46,000
The pitch, low inside, ball one.

1686
02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:52,000
Yankee six, Dodgers four, last of the seventh inning, one out, nobody on.

1687
02:19:52,000 --> 02:20:10,000
Billy Cox from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania awaits the pitch. Here it is. Outside, ball two. Two balls, no strikes.

1688
02:20:10,000 --> 02:20:16,000
The outfield set up for Cox now straight away. Brown in close at third, three, four feet off third baseline.

1689
02:20:16,000 --> 02:20:24,000
Judo in a couple steps, it's short. In comes the pitch. Swung on to high, pop-up going out of play foul back of third.

1690
02:20:24,000 --> 02:20:34,000
Up onto the roof. Folks in the upper deck back of third were waiting for it to come down so they could scramble for the souvenir, but stayed up onto the roof.

1691
02:20:34,000 --> 02:20:43,000
Two balls, one strike to count on Billy Cox. Duke Snyder on deck. Yankees got three runs in the fourth inning, three in the fifth.

1692
02:20:43,000 --> 02:20:49,000
Dodgers slashed back with four in the sixth, then it's a six to four ball game for present time, last half of the seventh inning.

1693
02:20:49,000 --> 02:20:58,000
The two-one delivery. Swung on, there's a drive to center field. DiMaggio getting onto that one and he hauls it in for the out.

1694
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:12,000
Two away, two up, two down, and Duke Snyder steps in. Grounded to third, sky to right center, and bounced into the double play in the sixth inning.

1695
02:21:12,000 --> 02:21:25,000
Powerful left-hand hitter.

1696
02:21:25,000 --> 02:21:34,000
Compton, California, Clowder. Right-hander Allie Reynolds comes in with the curve. Swung on and missed, strike one, and Duke was going all the way.

1697
02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:43,000
He was trying to belt one out into Bedford Avenue, which is back of right field. Outfield set up.

1698
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:51,000
Almost right away, shaded slightly toward right. Brown in close at third. In comes the pitch. Low fastball. Count evened up at one and one.

1699
02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:57,000
Jackie Robinson's on deck. Phil Rosuto, two strides to the left of second. He's way over.

1700
02:21:57,000 --> 02:22:04,000
Jerry Coleman, deep at a point almost halfway between first and second. Tommy Hendrick, very deep and about two, three feet off the first baseline.

1701
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:12,000
And Allie Reynolds into the windup. Around comes the right arm. The pitch is swung on. Foul back to the screen. Strike two, one and two.

1702
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:22,000
Reynolds with a new ball to work with. Getting set. A lot of room between Brown and Rosuto. Brown is backed up at third. He's near the line.

1703
02:22:22,000 --> 02:22:30,000
Rosuto over near second. In comes the pitch and it is swung on. He missed. Strike three. Went down swinging a low fastball.

1704
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:40,000
No runs for the Dodgers. No hits. No Yankee errors. And nobody left on for Britland. And the score at the end of seven innings, the Yankees six runs, nine hits, no errors.

1705
02:22:40,000 --> 02:22:46,000
Six left on. The Dodgers four runs, nine hits, one error, and five men left on base.

1706
02:22:46,000 --> 02:22:58,000
And so there have been a couple innings of concentrated action as the Dodgers have battled their way right back into the ballgame.

1707
02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:02,000
And they did it with the Vincents, didn't they, Red?

1708
02:23:02,000 --> 02:23:12,000
Well, nothing is as uncertain as a baseball game and certainly not apparently at Ebbets Field, game four between the Yankees and the Dodgers.

1709
02:23:12,000 --> 02:23:23,000
The only thing sure is that we've got a nice afternoon from the weather and what will come up in the eighth and ninth innings, I know for one I wouldn't miss seeing it.

1710
02:23:23,000 --> 02:23:28,000
I think you folks listening in, I'd of course have Mel telling you about it.

1711
02:23:28,000 --> 02:23:39,000
Going into the first half of the eighth inning, the Yankees will come up with Hank Bauer, Jerry Coleman, and Allie Reynolds.

1712
02:23:39,000 --> 02:23:48,000
Casey Stengel sent Bauer in to hit for Mapes in the fifth inning with a left-hander in there during the pitching at that time for Brooklyn,

1713
02:23:48,000 --> 02:23:53,000
and a runner on third hoping to get him home. It didn't happen.

1714
02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:57,000
Band of pitches, Bauer swings and sends the ground ball out through the middle almost.

1715
02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:03,000
Reese goes to his left up with it, flips to first in time for the out.

1716
02:24:03,000 --> 02:24:11,000
The ball wasn't hard, hit quite hard enough to go right on through, gave Reese a chance to scamper to his left, come up with it, and he makes the put out at first.

1717
02:24:11,000 --> 02:24:18,000
And with one away, here's Jerry Coleman who fouled out on the second inning to Roy Campanella,

1718
02:24:18,000 --> 02:24:28,000
fouled out in the fourth inning to left fielder Louis Almo, came across the foul line to take his fly ball, and he ground it out to short on the fifth.

1719
02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:35,000
Chokes that bat, leans in close to the plate, the pitch is a fast ball just off the outside corner, ball one.

1720
02:24:35,000 --> 02:24:44,000
Allie Reynolds, the next scheduled hitter, Ruggito is out in the batter's circle. Outfield about straight away.

1721
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:52,000
One man down, and the pitch, swung on, say fly ball, hit out into short right, Gene Hermanski in under it, and he makes the catch.

1722
02:24:52,000 --> 02:25:02,000
So they're two down for the Yankees in the eighth inning, and Allie Reynolds coming out of the dugout.

1723
02:25:02,000 --> 02:25:13,000
Allie had a couple of hits in the first game in the series that he worked, one of them a double, one a single.

1724
02:25:13,000 --> 02:25:19,000
Struck out his last time up in the first game, bats him right handed.

1725
02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:25,000
Two men down, eighth inning, score, Yankees six, Dodgers four.

1726
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:36,000
Banner delivers, and it's inside, a little high, ball one, one ball, no strikes.

1727
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:39,000
They shade Reynolds a bit toward left.

1728
02:25:39,000 --> 02:25:50,000
The delivery, swung on, it's hit high into the air, behind the plate, foul pop-up, Campanella under it, and he makes the catch.

1729
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:56,000
So the Yankees go out in order for the second straight inning, as Banner does a perfect job of relief pitching.

1730
02:25:56,000 --> 02:26:05,000
And the score, at the end of seven and a half innings, remains the Yankees six, the Dodgers four.

1731
02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:13,000
You know, back in the days when it took nine balls to walk a batter, four strikes to fan him, and fouls didn't count, shaving was no picnic.

1732
02:26:13,000 --> 02:26:22,000
But now, thanks to Gillette Blue Blades, you ease off whiskers in a jiffy and wind up with your face looking its best and feeling great.

1733
02:26:22,000 --> 02:26:29,000
Men, Gillette Blue Blades, five for a quarter, are the sweetest shaving and longest lasting on earth.

1734
02:26:29,000 --> 02:26:34,000
So for tops in comfort and economy as well, they're the buy for you.

1735
02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:42,000
Now, to enjoy extra convenience without extra cost, ask for Gillette Blue Blades and the handy Gillette Dispenser.

1736
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:47,000
It feeds them out unwrapped, saves time, saves fuss.

1737
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:54,000
You get 20 blades, 40 shaving edges for 98 cents, 10 blades for 49 cents.

1738
02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:58,000
Look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp.

1739
02:26:58,000 --> 02:27:03,000
Use Gillette Blue Blades for the sharpest edges ever honed.

1740
02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:14,000
The last half of the eighth inning at Ebbets Field, it'll be Jackie Robinson, Gill Hodges, and Louis Olmo coming up.

1741
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:22,000
Score, Yankees six, Dodgers four. Robinson grounded a short, walked and singled a left in the sixth inning.

1742
02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:30,000
Right hand batter, outfield toward left and center and left, almost right away and right, the big gap in right center.

1743
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:33,000
Second baseman, Jerry Coleman, over near the bag, Brown in close at third.

1744
02:27:33,000 --> 02:27:39,000
In comes the pitch from Reynolds and it's over for a call strike. Fast ball.

1745
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:42,000
Rizzuto about four strides to the left of second in a couple of steps.

1746
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:47,000
Robinson fast, he may be bunting, he may be swinging away, you never tell.

1747
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:50,000
He'll try to catch you napping and dump a bunt on occasion.

1748
02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:57,000
The one strike pitch and Robinson takes low outside for the ball, one and one, breaking delivery.

1749
02:27:57,000 --> 02:28:04,000
Jake Fettler, ever active, coaching there at first, cups his hands over his mouth, hollers words of encouragement down to the plate to Robinson.

1750
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:09,000
Milton Stock, standing there at third.

1751
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:28,000
Reynolds starts the wind up, around comes the right arm, in comes the pitch, Robinson takes just over the outside corner for call strike two.

1752
02:28:28,000 --> 02:28:31,000
One ball, two strikes.

1753
02:28:31,000 --> 02:28:36,000
Bobby Brown backs up at third now with two strikes on Jackie and he's about three feet off the line.

1754
02:28:36,000 --> 02:28:39,000
Rizzuto over toward that third base hold, movement over near second.

1755
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:47,000
Reynolds delivers, curve is inside to Robinson, ball two, two-two.

1756
02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:54,000
Fans exercising their prerogative, always trying to help the umpires umpire the game.

1757
02:28:54,000 --> 02:28:57,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1758
02:28:57,000 --> 02:28:59,000
Robinson leading off, last to the eight, Thunningham.

1759
02:28:59,000 --> 02:29:04,000
Allie Reynolds delivers, Jackie Robinson swings, it sends a ground ball toward third, Brown is left up with it.

1760
02:29:04,000 --> 02:29:10,000
Fires across to Henrik in time and there's one away.

1761
02:29:10,000 --> 02:29:13,000
Robinson grounds out, Brown to Henrik.

1762
02:29:13,000 --> 02:29:26,000
Here's Gill Hodges, Brooklyn first baseman, moving into hitting position, fly to left in the second inning, struck out on the fourth and single to center in the sixth.

1763
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:33,000
Outfield, shades around toward left for Big Gill.

1764
02:29:33,000 --> 02:29:35,000
A boy from Petersburg, Indiana.

1765
02:29:35,000 --> 02:29:38,000
Bobby Brown losing close third now near the line.

1766
02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:40,000
Allie Reynolds delivers, pass ball swung on, ground out to short.

1767
02:29:40,000 --> 02:29:45,000
Rizzuto grabs it on two hops, flips over to Henrik in time and they're two away.

1768
02:29:45,000 --> 02:29:50,000
Hodges going after that first pitch, hit it solidly but right at Rizzuto.

1769
02:29:50,000 --> 02:29:52,000
Two up and two down.

1770
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:59,000
And now coming to bat is Louis Almo, who fly to left, fouled out to Barra and single to center.

1771
02:29:59,000 --> 02:30:04,000
Seven big base hits in that sixth inning for Brooklyn to put them right smack back into the ballgame.

1772
02:30:04,000 --> 02:30:13,000
Four runs coming in, cutting down the Yankees six-nothing lead built up in the fourth and fifth innings.

1773
02:30:13,000 --> 02:30:17,000
Off Newcomb Manhattan.

1774
02:30:17,000 --> 02:30:23,000
Reynolds in relief of Eddie Lopat, getting set to pitch to Almo.

1775
02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:27,000
Louis had stepped in, he steps out to get a little dirt in his hands, now he's back in.

1776
02:30:27,000 --> 02:30:30,000
Slightly open stanchion, close to the plate, holds the bat down to him, the handle.

1777
02:30:30,000 --> 02:30:36,000
Reynolds comes in with a pitch curve and is high, ball one.

1778
02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:41,000
Bobby Brown is not in close at third of the two down, not figuring Almo to be bunting.

1779
02:30:41,000 --> 02:30:46,000
Not too deep, but not too close.

1780
02:30:46,000 --> 02:30:50,000
The Yankee right-hander throws, the pitch is strike call, fast ball.

1781
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:53,000
Got the outside corner just at the knees.

1782
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:56,000
One ball, one strike.

1783
02:30:56,000 --> 02:31:02,000
Reynolds, primarily a fast ball pitcher with a good snapping curve.

1784
02:31:02,000 --> 02:31:06,000
Occasionally he uses his slow curve.

1785
02:31:06,000 --> 02:31:08,000
Now the one-one delivery.

1786
02:31:08,000 --> 02:31:13,000
Overhand fast ball is inside, backs Almo away, two-and-one the count.

1787
02:31:13,000 --> 02:31:21,000
Jim Turner, Yankee pitching coach, told me that Allie Reynolds, though it hasn't been publicized too much,

1788
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:28,000
has one of the best fast balls in the major leagues.

1789
02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:30,000
It's always very alive.

1790
02:31:30,000 --> 02:31:32,000
Now the two-one pitch.

1791
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:36,000
It's high and inside, ball three, another fast ball, three-and-one the count.

1792
02:31:36,000 --> 02:31:40,000
You got Roy Campanella on deck.

1793
02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:45,000
And of course you got a ball game close enough so that in the event a Dodger gets on,

1794
02:31:45,000 --> 02:31:47,000
that puts the tying run at the plate.

1795
02:31:47,000 --> 02:31:49,000
The fans quite aware of it.

1796
02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:54,000
Three balls, one strike.

1797
02:31:54,000 --> 02:31:57,000
Reynolds going to work on Almo and the pitch.

1798
02:31:57,000 --> 02:31:59,000
Right in there for call strike two.

1799
02:31:59,000 --> 02:32:06,000
Just fired a fast one through the middle, figuring Almo to be taking two down, two runs behind, eight-thunning.

1800
02:32:06,000 --> 02:32:13,000
So you got a full count on the batter, three-and-two.

1801
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:16,000
Reynolds ready.

1802
02:32:16,000 --> 02:32:21,000
Starts the wind up, around comes the right arm, the payoff pitch is strike three, call over the outside corner.

1803
02:32:21,000 --> 02:32:26,000
How about that?

1804
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:29,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.

1805
02:32:29,000 --> 02:32:36,000
And the score at the end of eight innings, Yankee six, Brooklyn four.

1806
02:32:36,000 --> 02:32:40,000
Yankee six runs, nine hits, no errors, six left on.

1807
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:45,000
Brooklyn four runs, nine hits, one error, and five men left on base.

1808
02:32:45,000 --> 02:32:50,000
And as you go to the ninth inning, the Yankees will come up at the top of the order,

1809
02:32:50,000 --> 02:32:55,000
Rizzuto, Henrik, and Barra, while on the last of the night, scheduled a hit for Brooklyn, Campanella, Hermanski,

1810
02:32:55,000 --> 02:33:01,000
and a pinch hitter, of course, for Banta, unless something might happen to the two hitters before that

1811
02:33:01,000 --> 02:33:08,000
in the way of tying up the ball game, in which case Banta would probably go up and hit for himself.

1812
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:10,000
One thing, though, it's definitely certain.

1813
02:33:10,000 --> 02:33:15,000
When you sail through tough whiskers with a world-famous Gillette Tech razor,

1814
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:19,000
you enjoy a sense of comfort and well-being that's worth talking about.

1815
02:33:19,000 --> 02:33:24,000
The Gillette Tech smooths your skin and sets up your whiskers as a barber would.

1816
02:33:24,000 --> 02:33:27,000
See how easy shaving can be.

1817
02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:35,000
Ask for the Gillette Tech razor, complete with five Gillette blue blades, at the popular pre-war price of only 49 cents.

1818
02:33:35,000 --> 02:33:38,000
We pause ten seconds for station identification.

1819
02:33:38,000 --> 02:33:41,000
This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

1820
02:33:41,000 --> 02:33:44,000
Hear the World Series exclusively on WOR.

1821
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:55,000
See it on WOR-TV Channel 9, WOR, and WOR-FM New York.

1822
02:33:55,000 --> 02:34:00,000
Phil Rizzuto takes a pitch that's low for ball one as we go to the top of the ninth inning.

1823
02:34:00,000 --> 02:34:04,000
Yankee six, Dodgers four.

1824
02:34:04,000 --> 02:34:08,000
Banty Cox in there at third base in close.

1825
02:34:08,000 --> 02:34:16,000
Jack Banta delivers outside, ball two.

1826
02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:21,000
Ralph Branca throwing in the bullpen for Brooklyn.

1827
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:24,000
No action in the Yankee bullpen.

1828
02:34:24,000 --> 02:34:29,000
Rizzuto's had two out of four singles in the first and fourth innings, grounded out the third in the third,

1829
02:34:29,000 --> 02:34:31,000
flied to left in the sixth.

1830
02:34:31,000 --> 02:34:33,000
Outfield around toward left.

1831
02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:40,000
Banta's pitch inside, backs Phil away for ball three.

1832
02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:50,000
Three-nothing count on the scooter.

1833
02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:54,000
Now that Allie Reynolds has had to come in today,

1834
02:34:54,000 --> 02:34:57,000
it's difficult to predict what the pitching selections will be for tomorrow.

1835
02:34:57,000 --> 02:35:01,000
In comes your delivery, and it's inside to Phil, almost hit him.

1836
02:35:01,000 --> 02:35:13,000
That three-nothing pitch was way inside, and Rizzuto walks.

1837
02:35:13,000 --> 02:35:19,000
That's the first man to reach base on Banta since he came on to the seventh inning in relief.

1838
02:35:19,000 --> 02:35:23,000
Vic Grash, who pitched the second game of the series, could be a Yankee pitching selection.

1839
02:35:23,000 --> 02:35:31,000
He'd have to come back in the fifth game with but two days' rest, as Newcomb did today.

1840
02:35:31,000 --> 02:35:38,000
Fred Sanford could be a starter, though Casey Stengel might think twice.

1841
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:41,000
He could come back to Tommy Byrne, who didn't go very far yesterday.

1842
02:35:41,000 --> 02:35:45,000
Here's Tommy Henryk. As a throw to first base, not in time,

1843
02:35:45,000 --> 02:35:51,000
Henryk singled in the first inning, grounded in the third to Hodges, walked in the fifth, and singled in the sixth.

1844
02:35:51,000 --> 02:35:55,000
Tommy steps out, Banta was ready to work.

1845
02:35:55,000 --> 02:36:03,000
All signs at the moment would point to a possibility of Rex Barney starting for Brooklyn tomorrow.

1846
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:11,000
Banta delivers to Henryk, Tommy shortens up, takes the ball, Hodges breaking for the plate, looking for the bunt, Cox in third.

1847
02:36:11,000 --> 02:36:16,000
Since Joe Hatton was used today in relief,

1848
02:36:16,000 --> 02:36:21,000
and with Branca throwing the bullpen, having worked just yesterday,

1849
02:36:21,000 --> 02:36:28,000
it's entirely possible that regardless of the outcome of today's game, it would be Barney for Brooklyn tomorrow.

1850
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:34,000
Banta all set, throws, Henryk swings and sends a ground ball through first, out in the right field for a base hit.

1851
02:36:34,000 --> 02:36:37,000
Rizzuto around second, on his way to third, up to the ball is Ferillo.

1852
02:36:37,000 --> 02:36:44,000
Here's the throw, it is not in time, or rather Hermanski, excuse me, and Rizzuto gets in to third.

1853
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:53,000
So Tommy Henryk, singles in the right field, sending Phil Rizzuto to third base.

1854
02:36:53,000 --> 02:36:58,000
That's Henryk's third hit of the ball game, his fourth in the series.

1855
02:36:58,000 --> 02:37:05,000
His first one, of course, will long be remembered when you talk about World Series games.

1856
02:37:05,000 --> 02:37:12,000
Dramatic inning opening, last half of the ninth inning, home run that won the ball game,

1857
02:37:12,000 --> 02:37:15,000
one to nothing for Reynolds over Newcomb at the Yankee Stadium.

1858
02:37:15,000 --> 02:37:18,000
Now here's Barra up, who's had one out of four.

1859
02:37:18,000 --> 02:37:25,000
The infield is in for play at the plate, Rizzuto on third, Henryk on first, ninth inning, six-four New York, nobody out, the pitch.

1860
02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:29,000
Barra golfs a foul, grounder down the first baseline, strike one.

1861
02:37:29,000 --> 02:37:34,000
You had a similar situation in the first inning today, when Rizzuto and Henryk single to start the ball game,

1862
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:40,000
putting runners on first and third, and Barra hit into strange double play, grounding to third.

1863
02:37:40,000 --> 02:37:48,000
Rizzuto was caught in a chase and put out, and Henryk, rounding second, was caught to complete the double play, and the Yankees failed to score.

1864
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:51,000
So there were two bases on balls following.

1865
02:37:51,000 --> 02:37:55,000
Here's your pitch to Yogi, it's a pitch out, a throw down to third, and he is out of third.

1866
02:37:55,000 --> 02:37:59,000
Rizzuto was caught at third as he stumbled, trying to get back.

1867
02:37:59,000 --> 02:38:11,000
How about that?

1868
02:38:11,000 --> 02:38:16,000
Again, you have a strange situation developing, just as you had in the first inning.

1869
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:22,000
Roy Campanella was taking a look at Phil, coming up the line, Cox eased over,

1870
02:38:22,000 --> 02:38:25,000
and Campanella called for that pitch out and fired down to Cox,

1871
02:38:25,000 --> 02:38:31,000
and Rizzuto stumbled, trying to get back, and he couldn't make it, as Cox blocked him off.

1872
02:38:31,000 --> 02:38:45,000
So there's one out, Henryk on first, and the pitch to Barra is way outside for ball two.

1873
02:38:45,000 --> 02:38:52,000
Yes, sir, this fourth game has been productive, of a lot of surprises, and it's not over.

1874
02:38:52,000 --> 02:38:55,000
Two balls, one strike, one out.

1875
02:38:55,000 --> 02:39:00,000
Rizzuto picked off third by Roy Campanella.

1876
02:39:00,000 --> 02:39:04,000
Henryk inches off first, Banda delivers to Barra, inside.

1877
02:39:04,000 --> 02:39:08,000
Ball three, three and one.

1878
02:39:08,000 --> 02:39:13,000
Man, you know, that relieves the pitcher of a lot of pressure.

1879
02:39:13,000 --> 02:39:18,000
Runners on first and third, nobody out, and not a difference working that way,

1880
02:39:18,000 --> 02:39:22,000
The man on first and one out.

1881
02:39:22,000 --> 02:39:27,000
Branca and Menna, a right-hander and left-hander, throwing the Brooklyn bullpen.

1882
02:39:27,000 --> 02:39:29,000
Ready for that three-one pitch.

1883
02:39:29,000 --> 02:39:32,000
Here it is, Barra swings and sends a drive to right field,

1884
02:39:32,000 --> 02:39:35,000
Hermanski going over toward the line under it, makes the catch for the out,

1885
02:39:35,000 --> 02:39:38,000
Henryk Camp, 20 seconds, comes back to first.

1886
02:39:38,000 --> 02:39:41,000
So now you can see the importance of that Campanella play at third,

1887
02:39:41,000 --> 02:39:44,000
because Rizzuto could have tagged up and scored after the catch,

1888
02:39:44,000 --> 02:39:49,000
and that would have made it necessary for the Dodgers to get four runs

1889
02:39:49,000 --> 02:39:56,000
in the last of the ninth inning to win, where now they need three.

1890
02:39:56,000 --> 02:40:00,000
Another two away, and the batter is Joe DiMaggio, who walked,

1891
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:05,000
skied to center, was intentionally fast and grounded to second.

1892
02:40:05,000 --> 02:40:10,000
Joe has had but one hit in the series, that was a top roller that he beat out.

1893
02:40:10,000 --> 02:40:14,000
Down the counter, stretches, pitches, DiMaggio swings and lines one,

1894
02:40:14,000 --> 02:40:18,000
foul on the third base line, strike one.

1895
02:40:18,000 --> 02:40:21,000
As far as line drives are concerned, that's the most solid one

1896
02:40:21,000 --> 02:40:25,000
that DiMaggio has belted in this series, it was foul.

1897
02:40:25,000 --> 02:40:31,000
Get a long drive in the fourth inning, just short of a homer in left center.

1898
02:40:31,000 --> 02:40:39,000
One strike to count on the clipper, two down, ninth inning, Yankee six, Dodgers four.

1899
02:40:39,000 --> 02:40:42,000
Regular round toward left infield, shaded well around toward third,

1900
02:40:42,000 --> 02:40:45,000
though Robinson not too close to second for Joe.

1901
02:40:45,000 --> 02:40:47,000
Jack Banner stretches, pitches, DiMaggio, there's a pitch out,

1902
02:40:47,000 --> 02:40:49,000
a throw down to first base, Henrik just back in on time.

1903
02:40:49,000 --> 02:40:54,000
Boy, that Campanella really does a job behind that plate.

1904
02:40:54,000 --> 02:40:57,000
Always working with his pitchers, trying to help him out.

1905
02:40:57,000 --> 02:41:04,000
He's been doing a lot of throwing in this series, and it paid off today.

1906
02:41:04,000 --> 02:41:08,000
One ball, one strike, batter ready, and the pitch.

1907
02:41:08,000 --> 02:41:11,000
DiMaggio takes strike two, called over the outside corner above the knee,

1908
02:41:11,000 --> 02:41:14,000
low fast ball.

1909
02:41:14,000 --> 02:41:17,000
One and two to count on Joe, Bobby Brown on deck will be the next batter

1910
02:41:17,000 --> 02:41:19,000
in the event DiMaggio gets a board.

1911
02:41:19,000 --> 02:41:23,000
It's a six to four ball game, Yankees out in front, ninth inning, two down,

1912
02:41:23,000 --> 02:41:28,000
Henrik on first.

1913
02:41:28,000 --> 02:41:32,000
Jack Banner sets, a look at first, here's the pitch, DiMaggio swings and misses,

1914
02:41:32,000 --> 02:41:38,000
strike three.

1915
02:41:38,000 --> 02:41:41,000
So the Yankees fail the score, though they had runners on first and third

1916
02:41:41,000 --> 02:41:42,000
and nobody out.

1917
02:41:42,000 --> 02:41:47,000
No runs, one hit, no errors, one man left on, and we come to the last half

1918
02:41:47,000 --> 02:41:52,000
of the ninth inning.

1919
02:41:52,000 --> 02:42:04,000
And every last half of the ninth inning has been played in this series.

1920
02:42:04,000 --> 02:42:07,000
The Yankees, the home team, won the first game, but they had to do it

1921
02:42:07,000 --> 02:42:10,000
in the last of the ninth.

1922
02:42:10,000 --> 02:42:14,000
Then the Yankees lost the second game, and the scene shifted to Ebbets Field

1923
02:42:14,000 --> 02:42:19,000
yesterday, and the Dodgers lost that one, but had to take their turn at bat

1924
02:42:19,000 --> 02:42:21,000
in the ninth.

1925
02:42:21,000 --> 02:42:25,000
And here they are again, coming up in the last of the ninth with Roy Campanella

1926
02:42:25,000 --> 02:42:31,000
leading off, Gene Hermanski to follow.

1927
02:42:31,000 --> 02:42:39,000
And after Hermanski, we'll see.

1928
02:42:39,000 --> 02:42:44,000
Let me caution you once again that the Gillette Safety Razor Company will

1929
02:42:44,000 --> 02:42:47,000
bring you the World Series again tomorrow, but an hour later than we have

1930
02:42:47,000 --> 02:42:51,000
been coming on the air due to a Sunday law in the state of New York.

1931
02:42:51,000 --> 02:42:57,000
No game can start until five minutes past two Eastern Standard Time,

1932
02:42:57,000 --> 02:43:02,000
and so we will be on the air at 1.45 Eastern Standard Time tomorrow,

1933
02:43:02,000 --> 02:43:04,000
so please remember that.

1934
02:43:04,000 --> 02:43:07,000
Now here's Roy Campanella, right-hand hitter, leading off last of the ninth

1935
02:43:07,000 --> 02:43:08,000
inning, six to four New York.

1936
02:43:08,000 --> 02:43:12,000
Ali Reynolds delivers, swung on, hits Sharpie to third, up with it on one,

1937
02:43:12,000 --> 02:43:18,000
hop is Brown, fires across to Henrik in time and is one away.

1938
02:43:18,000 --> 02:43:23,000
That was a solid belt on a short hop to Brown that Bobby had a little trouble

1939
02:43:23,000 --> 02:43:27,000
with momentarily, but held onto it and retired Campanella with his throw to

1940
02:43:27,000 --> 02:43:28,000
Henrik.

1941
02:43:28,000 --> 02:43:33,000
Now here's Gene Hermanski, struck out, singled in the fifth and sixth innings,

1942
02:43:33,000 --> 02:43:34,000
two out of three.

1943
02:43:34,000 --> 02:43:40,000
Campanella had one hit in the sixth inning, one out of four.

1944
02:43:40,000 --> 02:43:47,000
Gene digs in, outfielder round toward right, Ali Reynolds goes to work,

1945
02:43:47,000 --> 02:43:51,000
in comes the pitch to the left-hand batter, Hermanski takes inside around the

1946
02:43:51,000 --> 02:43:52,000
belt, ball one.

1947
02:43:52,000 --> 02:43:56,000
Bobby Brown's in close at third in the event of a top roller down that way or

1948
02:43:56,000 --> 02:43:59,000
a bunt.

1949
02:43:59,000 --> 02:44:01,000
Joe Page starts to go to work in the Yankee bullpen,

1950
02:44:01,000 --> 02:44:05,000
risotto, two strikes to the left of second and halfway, Ali Reynolds delivers,

1951
02:44:05,000 --> 02:44:10,000
Hermanski swings and fouls it back, strike one, one and one.

1952
02:44:10,000 --> 02:44:14,000
Bruce Edwards has been called down from the Dodger bullpen to come up and swing

1953
02:44:14,000 --> 02:44:16,000
for Jack Bata.

1954
02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:19,000
One ball, one strike, one out, last of the ninth inning, Yankee six, Dodgers

1955
02:44:19,000 --> 02:44:20,000
four.

1956
02:44:20,000 --> 02:44:24,000
It's Gene Hermanski digging in, Ali Reynolds with the new ball to deliver,

1957
02:44:24,000 --> 02:44:27,000
gets his sign from Yogi Barrow, the outfielder round toward right,

1958
02:44:27,000 --> 02:44:31,000
Page warming up from the Yankee bullpen, and now the Chief from Oklahoma City

1959
02:44:31,000 --> 02:44:34,000
is into the wide, up in comes the pitch, it is swung on and missed, strike two

1960
02:44:34,000 --> 02:44:44,000
and the count is one and two.

1961
02:44:44,000 --> 02:44:50,000
Reynolds hitches up his trousers, rubs up to cover the ball.

1962
02:44:50,000 --> 02:44:55,000
Jake Fittler hollers down from his first base coach's box, come on Gene.

1963
02:44:55,000 --> 02:44:59,000
Gene grips that bat very tightly, Reynolds starts the windup, in comes the one-two

1964
02:44:59,000 --> 02:45:02,000
pitch and Hermanski takes into the dirt, ball skips in behind Barrow onto the

1965
02:45:02,000 --> 02:45:11,000
backstop to the screen, it's a two-two count, a breaking pitch.

1966
02:45:11,000 --> 02:45:15,000
A two-two count on Hermanski, last half of the ninth inning, fourth game of the

1967
02:45:15,000 --> 02:45:23,000
World Series.

1968
02:45:23,000 --> 02:45:27,000
Reynolds slams the ball into the pocket of his glove, shakes his arm free, now

1969
02:45:27,000 --> 02:45:31,000
he's ready, starts the windup, in comes the pitch and it is way outside for ball

1970
02:45:31,000 --> 02:45:37,000
three, full count three and two, came into the fast ball that took off outside.

1971
02:45:37,000 --> 02:45:42,000
So he's gone to the full count on Hermanski, three balls, two strikes, one out,

1972
02:45:42,000 --> 02:45:46,000
last of the ninth inning, yank six, Dodgers four, Reynolds getting ready for the

1973
02:45:46,000 --> 02:45:52,000
big payoff pitch, into the windup, around comes the arm, here it is, it is swung on

1974
02:45:52,000 --> 02:45:56,000
and missed, strike three and Hermanski dances out of the batter's box and slams

1975
02:45:56,000 --> 02:46:02,000
his bat to the ground. It was a quick curve ball, fast snapping curve that had

1976
02:46:02,000 --> 02:46:05,000
him missing and Hermanski's so mad as he walks toward the Dodger dugout he kicks

1977
02:46:05,000 --> 02:46:10,000
The batter's rousin bag. It's going to be Dick Whitman coming up to hit for batta

1978
02:46:10,000 --> 02:46:16,000
instead of Bruce Edwards. Edwards had come down to the dugout from the bullpen,

1979
02:46:16,000 --> 02:46:19,000
but he is not going to come up to bat, it's going to be Dick Whitman, a left-hand

1980
02:46:19,000 --> 02:46:25,000
hitter, and now Barrow steps aside from the plate and looks into the Yankee

1981
02:46:25,000 --> 02:46:31,000
dugout to Casey Stengel to determine how they shall play Whitman and Stengel

1982
02:46:31,000 --> 02:46:38,000
motions to Gene Woodling to come in a bit and left. Gene Hermanski went down

1983
02:46:38,000 --> 02:46:46,000
striking out, second, let's see, one, two, three, four, fourth strikeout for

1984
02:46:46,000 --> 02:46:51,000
Reynolds, here's the pitch, low inside, ball one, and Reynolds struck out nine

1985
02:46:51,000 --> 02:46:56,000
The first game so a total of 13 strikeouts for him in the series. Six to

1986
02:46:56,000 --> 02:47:00,000
four Yankees, last of the ninth inning, two down, Dick Whitman, left-hand hitter

1987
02:47:00,000 --> 02:47:05,000
batting for Jack Batta, five-eleven, 170 pounder. Reynolds throws a pitch over

1988
02:47:05,000 --> 02:47:14,000
for a called strike, one and one. Whitman from Eugene, Oregon. Outfield toward

1989
02:47:14,000 --> 02:47:17,000
right and center and right, shallow and left and straight away, Brown in close

1990
02:47:17,000 --> 02:47:20,000
at third, Rizzuto in halfway, it's short, three-stretched left of the bag,

1991
02:47:20,000 --> 02:47:23,000
Coleman three strikes to the right end of the step, Henrik Diep near the first

1992
02:47:23,000 --> 02:47:27,000
baseline, one ball, one strike, two down, Allie Reynolds into the windup, in comes

1993
02:47:27,000 --> 02:47:32,000
The pitch, Whitman swings and grounds it foul in behind the plate, and it's a one-two

1994
02:47:32,000 --> 02:47:36,000
count. You've got Peewee Reese on deck. Bobby Brown moves over from third to

1995
02:47:36,000 --> 02:47:40,000
holler words of encouragement to Reynolds as Yogi Berra moves out in front of the

1996
02:47:40,000 --> 02:47:53,000
plate to deliver a brand new baseball to Allie. Incidentally, someone wired us.

1997
02:47:53,000 --> 02:47:56,000
Want to know whether they used an American or National League ball in the

1998
02:47:56,000 --> 02:47:59,000
series? They used the American League ball in the American League Park, the

1999
02:47:59,000 --> 02:48:03,000
National League ball in the National League Park. But actually, it's the same

2000
02:48:03,000 --> 02:48:08,000
ball except for the name on it. One says American League, reach, one says

2001
02:48:08,000 --> 02:48:12,000
bowling, National League. Here's the delivery. Swung on it, missed, strike three,

2002
02:48:12,000 --> 02:48:17,000
and the ball game is over. And Allie Reynolds strikes out, the last two men,

2003
02:48:17,000 --> 02:48:25,000
his fifth in relief of Lopat, 14 strikeouts in the series, no runs, no hits,

2004
02:48:25,000 --> 02:48:31,000
no errors, nobody left on. And the Yankees beat the Dodgers 6-4 as Allie Reynolds

2005
02:48:31,000 --> 02:48:39,000
comes to the fore in relief and retired a total of three, six, nine, ten men,

2006
02:48:39,000 --> 02:48:43,000
The last ten men in a row after the Dodgers had blasted Lopat off the hill

2007
02:48:43,000 --> 02:48:49,000
with a seven-hit four-on-on slot in the sixth. So that's the ball game. The

2008
02:48:49,000 --> 02:48:56,000
Yankees win it 6-4. Red will have the totals for you and other statistical

2009
02:48:56,000 --> 02:49:03,000
information and his always keen observations on this fourth game of the

2010
02:49:03,000 --> 02:49:09,000
World Series that now sees the Yankees out in front in games three to one.

2011
02:49:09,000 --> 02:49:16,000
It was a game, I might add, before Red takes over that developed along the lines

2012
02:49:16,000 --> 02:49:25,000
we had anticipated using previous history as a precedent. And it was exciting

2013
02:49:25,000 --> 02:49:30,000
all the way. We had things happening just every moment. I know that Red enjoyed it,

2014
02:49:30,000 --> 02:49:31,000
didn't you, Red?

2015
02:49:31,000 --> 02:49:37,000
Quite a ball game and it was a very human ball game and it showed the importance

2016
02:49:37,000 --> 02:49:42,000
of making one basic mistake. There were fine individual performances, as you would

2017
02:49:42,000 --> 02:49:47,000
expect in World Series. Bobby Brown was the offensive batting star. His double in

2018
02:49:47,000 --> 02:49:51,000
The fourth inning began the upending of Don Newcomb and when the fourth inning

2019
02:49:51,000 --> 02:49:55,000
subsided the Yankees had gotten Newcomb out of there and had made off with three

2020
02:49:55,000 --> 02:50:00,000
runs. And then in the fifth inning against Joe Hatton with the bases loaded and

2021
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:05,000
nobody out, Brown tripled. And that got in the other three runs. So he was the

2022
02:50:05,000 --> 02:50:08,000
fellow that was swinging the stick. And those two extra base hits in consecutive

2023
02:50:08,000 --> 02:50:25,000
innings gave him a total of five bases, a run scored and three batted in.
