00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
The New York Yankees face the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn for Game 5 of the 1949 World Series on October 9th.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:25,000
The Yankees lead the best of seven series three games to one, and this is the mutual radio broadcast of Game 5 featuring announcers Mel Allen and Red Barber.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Field shot, D shot. Use Gillette's blue blades with the sharpest edges ever home.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Gillette's Cavalcade of sports is on the air. From Ebbets Field, here in Brooklyn, Gillette presents the World Series.

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Afternoon baseball fans everywhere. This is the old redhead Red Barber with Mel Allen greeting you for the Gillette's faith to raise the company as the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers warm up for the fifth game in the state championship classic.

7
00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Gillette, maker of world famous, Gillette raises blades and shaving cream as leading event for various fields of sports the year round.

8
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Gillette also broadcasts and telecasts the major boxing match of the week every Friday night.

9
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:17,000
This is a perfectly beautiful day from the standpoint of the weather. It couldn't be nicer. The temperature is right at 80 degrees, a completely clear blue sunny sky.

10
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:25,000
The field is in apple pie shape, and the question now is what goes in this fifth game as the Dodgers or the Army?

11
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:33,000
In other words, Brooklyn is two down with three games to go. The Yankees, you know, lead three games to one and the best four out of seven.

12
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,000
So this one has to be more seriously considered than any other that has come about.

13
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,000
And for those of you who haven't looked in the Little Red Book of baseball records or who are not quickly conversant,

14
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:54,000
only twice in the entire history of the World Series, going back to 1903 when World Series as properly constituted began,

15
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:02,000
has a team behind three games to one come on to win. In 1903, the Boston Red Sox did it in the first World Series.

16
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000
The last team to do it was the Pittsburgh Pirates against the Washington Nationals in 1925.

17
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:15,000
So there you have that. Now about the pitches. It is, as expected, Mick Rashie, the big towering 21-game winner,

18
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
who is coming back for a second shot. Rashie, who has been charged with the sole Yankee defeat.

19
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
So Rashie is going to get another opportunity this afternoon.

20
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Mick Rashie, Andrew's case is tingled, smilingly says, Rashie is starting and Joe Page is ready in the ball pit.

21
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:42,000
For the Dodgers, it is the unpredictable right-hander, Rex Barney, who can be as good as any pitcher and can be as wild as any.

22
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
You think of the little girl in Longfellow's poem when you think about Barney.

23
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
And to forecast how he'll pitch, well, you don't know. He can be very, very good.

24
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Or, in other words, good enough as a no-hitter witnesses for itself two years ago.

25
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,000
And Barney, of course, in the 1947 series threw a very hard ball. It was quite wild.

26
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And some of the big moments came in some of his strikeouts, especially one of DiMaggio with the bases loaded.

27
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
In fact, he did that twice.

28
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
So it is Barney going for a return. This is his first appearance in this World Series.

29
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
He was in the bullpen two days, but he never threw in the bullpen at all.

30
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
So as far as Rex is concerned, he is completely arrested.

31
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I managed to shot him before deftly coming down to Barney, had a little talk with Preacher Hall,

32
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000
and wanted to know if by any chance the thin left-hander who pitched the 1-0 win in Game 2

33
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
thought that he should attempt this one today.

34
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
And Roe said no, he didn't think he had enough rest.

35
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Roe, during a regular season, never pitches with less than five days rest, sometimes seven.

36
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
He's quite slender, physique, and quite frail.

37
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000
But said Mr. Roe, and he doesn't bat an eyelash, I'll pitch tomorrow.

38
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000
The lineups will be no surprise to you. I don't think the teams have shaken down.

39
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
So here they are.

40
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Paul Yankees, as they go into Game 5, it is Rizzuto again leading off and playing a magnificent game at shortstop.

41
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Tommy Henrik, living up to every letter in the phrase that has been lovingly bestowed upon him in recent years, all reliable.

42
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Tommy Henrik at first base.

43
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Yogi Berra is catching. He says his hand is even sore than it has been,

44
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
but he wouldn't get out of there unless six wild horses yanked him away from the plate.

45
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,000
And I don't see any horses in the ballpark today. There's no room for anybody but ticket holders.

46
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Joe DiMaggio, and he of course is one of the most heartwarming stories in the series.

47
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
One of baseball's all-time great players who has been plagued this year.

48
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,000
First, that sore heel, and then virus pneumonia that bedded him.

49
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Yet he was able to come off of his crutches at one time and spark-plugged the Yankees to a win against the Red Sox when they needed it,

50
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000
then came out of a hospital and spark-plugged the Yankees in their last two games which got them into the series.

51
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
And DiMaggio so far has had one scratch single. He has struck out five times.

52
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
He has fallen down twice in center field.

53
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
DiMaggio in center.

54
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Perhaps the human interest towards has been most overlooked.

55
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
This great ballplayer who is not having a great series.

56
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Now we have Tommy Brown who was the batter yesterday with a double and a triple,

57
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
knocked in three runs, the winning runs.

58
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Brown at third. Woodling is in left field for New York.

59
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Mates is in right field. His double sliced in the left field corner.

60
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Got in the first couple of Yankee runs and got to the start then yesterday as they won six to four.

61
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Coleman who's played a fine game at second base.

62
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,000
And Vic Brashe coming back for his second start.

63
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Now for the Dodgers. The batting order again goes with captain and shortstop Pee Wee Reese leading off.

64
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000
With the right hander going for New York, man in the shot goes to his left hand hitters

65
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
which means third baseman Johnny Jorgensen is hitting number two.

66
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Jorgensen at third batting second.

67
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Snatter in center field.

68
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Batting third.

69
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Robinson at second base hitting fourth.

70
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Batting fifth and in right field is Gene Hermanski.

71
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Carl Pirello is still out with that injured right ball and he just can't go.

72
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Hodges at first base is hitting sixth.

73
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Marvin Radcliffe who came out of the second game of the World Series at the stadium if you'll recall

74
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
with a poor muscle in his back is a surprise nomination.

75
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Manager Sharpton at noon an hour and 50 minutes ago here in New York thought that Olmer would be a starting left fielder.

76
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,000
But Radcliffe apparently told him that he was all right and manager Sharpton has changed and is going with Radcliffe in left field.

77
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Roy Campanella is catching and Campanella yesterday I think impressed every baseball man in this ballpark with the fineness of his receivership.

78
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
His throwing, the fact that he was in there digging pitches out of the dirt, that he was taking them out of the air.

79
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Just about all that you could ask a catcher to do he did.

80
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Campanella catching and Rex Barney is the pitcher.

81
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:15,000
And for the umpires we will have the working rotation that we had in game one of the series when it opened at the stadium.

82
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,000
That means that Big Cal Hubbard will be back on home plate of the American League staff.

83
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Beans Riddon of the National League staff will be at first.

84
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Riddon is making this series his swan song.

85
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
He's been in the major leagues 24 years.

86
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
His health has not been too good.

87
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000
He was out several times during the prenatal campaign with illness.

88
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
He is quite light, about 15 pounds off weight.

89
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:46,000
And he figures that he's going back to his adopted state of California and follow the day as far as umpiring goes as soon as this series is over.

90
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
He's had a great career.

91
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:59,000
And everyone in baseball is deeply indebted to a man who has given so much of himself with such honor and such judicial demean.

92
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Art Passarella, hustling young umpire of the American League will be at second.

93
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Lou Jordan, a veteran, will be at third base from the National League staff.

94
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
In the left field corner will be George Varr in the right of the National League.

95
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
And in the right field corner will be Ed Hurley of the American League.

96
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
But I should repeat again that the weather is ideal.

97
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
You could not have a finer day for a baseball game.

98
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000
It is just hot enough and yet it is not too hot.

99
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:35,000
And we'll have to keep a close eye on the official time piece, our Longines watch,

100
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000
to be sure that this ball game does not get underway before the New York State Sunday Law,

101
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,000
which says that no athletic event, baseball or otherwise, can begin before two o'clock.

102
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:53,000
In fact, with the 1916 Brooklyn Dodger team here as guests of President Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Ball Club,

103
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
there's been a great deal of talk in which these players used to remark that back in 1916,

104
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,000
there were no Sunday games that they played while the team was at home.

105
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:11,000
The late mayor of New York when he was in the House of Representatives at Auburn in New York,

106
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Jimmy Walker was the father of the Sunday's fourth law.

107
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:22,000
He got the law through and the law stipulated that no sporting event could begin on Sunday afternoon

108
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
in the state of New York before two o'clock.

109
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Therefore, all Sunday games are advertised at 2 o'clock.

110
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000
And now as the umpires walk up to home plate, Manager Stengel comes out with the Yankee batting order,

111
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Captain Reese comes up with the Brooklyn batting order.

112
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Here is an important message to every one of you veterans listening in to the World Series broadcast today.

113
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:47,000
To you veterans, if you have held National Service life insurance for three months or more

114
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:55,000
on a policy taken out before the end of 1947, that's on a policy taken out before the end of 1947,

115
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
you are eligible for a special dividend.

116
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
The amounts will vary, but many veterans will receive as much as $300.

117
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Obtain your application from any post office, fill it out, and mail it promptly to the Veterans Administration.

118
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Now don't fill out more than one application and don't write to the Veterans Administration about your application.

119
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Checks will start going out after the first of next year.

120
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Now in that final lull before the storm, while things are still quiet,

121
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000
which they rarely are at Ebbets Field, we'll pause ten seconds for station identification.

122
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
This is a mutual broadcasting system.

123
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Hear the World Series exclusively over WOR.

124
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:55,000
See it on WOR TV, Channel 9, WOR and WOR FM, New York.

125
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
The meeting at home plate, six gentlemen in their blue sedges,

126
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
and two in what is called in the trade mucky suits.

127
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000
He's handing over his batting cards, Casey Stengel handing over his.

128
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Each team representative comes up to home plate with three batting cards, and they must be identical.

129
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:21,000
One set of cards, that's one from each team, is kept by the plate umpire.

130
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Then each team representative keeps his own batting card and one of the other fellows.

131
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
So they have to be made out in triplicate.

132
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Rex Barney, who will start for Brooklyn and will take them on sooner than will Rashie of the Invading Yankees.

133
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Barney has finished his warming up and has gone into the dugout, sitting down for a last minute blow.

134
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,000
And Rashie is just polishing off. He's just throwing sort of loosely back and forth,

135
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
just getting the feel in the draw and just right.

136
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
There's a final refinement going on at home plate over ground rules.

137
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Big Gal Hubbard, who is back at the plate today, will act as the umpire in chief,

138
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,000
is straightening out something to make certain that Reese and Stengel understand.

139
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Of course, anything about this ball, Barker Stengel doesn't understand.

140
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
He never will. He was entered as a player.

141
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,000
In fact, he played on the first Brooklyn team that ever performed in this ball.

142
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:19,000
It was an exhibition game against the Yankees just before the season opened in 1913.

143
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Reese and Hubbard are going over some point of ground rules,

144
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
and Peewee is pointing out to what center field is, what it is.

145
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
I don't know. It's not very serious because George Bargren walks away.

146
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Reese is just needling somebody. And Stengel grins.

147
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000
And by the way, Casey Stengel was very pleased to be honored by the folks from Oakland, California.

148
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Casey, you know, managed Oakland to a championship last year in the Pacific Coast League.

149
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:52,000
And before the ball game began, city commissioner Frank J. Ural of Oakland presented a proclamation

150
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
from the city commission,

151
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:02,000
commending Stengel for the fine job that he's done in managing the Yankees to the American League credit this year.

152
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000
So the Dodgers are calm. The Yankees are proudly and serenely confident.

153
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
The Umphires are now scattered to their sixth defensive post.

154
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,000
One lone groundkeeper is finishing off a smooth place where Rashe was last warming up.

155
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Now no one is on the field but the Umphires, and now the Dodgers take the field and the battle will be joined.

156
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
So Brooklyn goes to the field. Manager Shatton told his boss, I've reminded him,

157
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,000
that they did everything the hard way all season long, that in the important series after important series,

158
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000
especially with the Cardinals, the Dodgers would inevitably lose the opening game of the series

159
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,000
and then have to come back to take the next two to keep going.

160
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,000
And Casey Stengel, of course, doesn't have to say anything. He just starts Rashe and the ball game plays.

161
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Now in a moment, we'll have the national anthem. It's a minute up to two o'clock.

162
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,000
The announcement is made that Ms. Gladys Gooding will play and sing the Star Spangled Banner.

163
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
The Star Spangled Banner plays.

164
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:42,000
The Star Spangled Banner plays.

165
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:50,000
And the world is here above her feet,

166
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,000
In groups all the time,

167
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:01,000
To the place one feels at home.

168
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Who's made a better nation than we have made?

169
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:17,000
In the land of the free,

170
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:25,000
And the home of the brave.

171
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Applause.

172
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Well, all the preliminary words have been written and have been spoken.

173
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000
It is now a time for the actual playing performances on the playing field

174
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,000
and the play-by-play words of Mel Allen as we send you Game 5.

175
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,000
And Gillette is very pleased to have this in its cavalcade of sports.

176
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Mel, let me say again while you can hear it, it's great to work with a Major League broadcaster.

177
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
And here you are.

178
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Hello there everybody. That goes double with me, Rand.

179
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000
This program comes to you by authority of the Commissioner of Baseball.

180
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,000
It's intended only for the private use of our audience.

181
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Any publication or reproduction of this program and commercial use of the program is prohibited.

182
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Roy Campanella's throw down to Jackie Robinson at second base.

183
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,000
The ball whips back around the infield and comes to rest in the glove of Rex Barney,

184
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000
who performed in the 1947 World Series with the Dodgers in three games.

185
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
He won eight in the third innings.

186
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
I checked that he went six in two-thirds innings.

187
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Lost one game to not win any as Specshe beat him 2-1 in the fifth game with a 1947 set-up.

188
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:49,000
And so the young right-hander, 23 years of age, for the Dodgers starts the wind-up pitching to Phil Rizzuto,

189
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,000
and the first pitch is outside for ball one.

190
00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Rex Barney from Omaha, Nebraska. I called him 23. I should have said 24.

191
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
He'll be 25 on December the 19th.

192
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,000
In comes the delivery. Rizzuto takes outside again for ball two.

193
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Two balls, no strikes.

194
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
The scooter has a batting average in the series of 200.

195
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
He's had three hits and 15 times at bat, all singles.

196
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Johnny Jorgensen's in close at third in the event of the bunt.

197
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Pee-wee Reese over toward the third base hole.

198
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Barney delivers outside again for ball three.

199
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,000
And now Johnny Jorgensen moves over from third base out to the mound to talk to Barney.

200
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:39,000
And Carl Erskine sticks his head out of the Dodger dugout, starts to go down to the bullpen,

201
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
and is immediately called back for a moment.

202
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Now he's taking the walk down to the Brooklyn bullpen. He's trotting down now.

203
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000
You've got Jorgensen third, Reese short. Robinson second. Hodges first.

204
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Correctly left, Snyder center, Hermanski right, Campanella catching.

205
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Rex Barney pitching three balls, no strikes to Rizzuto, and it's outside and low.

206
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Ball four and the scooter is on.

207
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Jackie Robinson trots over from second base now to talk to Barney.

208
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Tommy Henrich steps in.

209
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000
He's had four hits and 15 times at bat in the series for a 267 average.

210
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
There have not been too many robust hitters in the series.

211
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000
It being predominantly a pitcher's classic this year.

212
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Although yesterday the boys sort of broke loose a little.

213
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Outfield around toward right for Henrich, stands deep in the batter's box in close to the plate.

214
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
The pitch inside for a ball is a curve.

215
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Cal Hubbard almost went up with a hand. He was watching that one very closely.

216
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,000
The ball broke, almost hit the inside edge, but did not quite get it.

217
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000
You've got Jorgensen about 10 feet off third baseline in on the edge of the infield grass

218
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000
with three strikes to the left, the second in halfway.

219
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Now the pitch and Henrich takes outside for ball two.

220
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,000
And Rex Barney is starting out in very wild fashion.

221
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Time is called as Roy Campanella goes to the mound and Captain Peewee Riz comes in from short.

222
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
And there's action about to begin on the Dodger bullpen.

223
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:14,000
A little conference around the mound, trying to settle Barney down.

224
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Riz goes back to short. Campanella comes back to the plate.

225
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Milton Stock pokes his head out of the Dodger dugout to see that action is going on in the bullpen.

226
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Rex Barney all set to pitch two and nothing to Tommy Henrich.

227
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Here it is and it's in there for a call strike, a throw down to first, Rosito back.

228
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
That's the first strike that Barney's gotten in in seven pitches.

229
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Jack Batta, a right-hander throwing the bullpen.

230
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Two and one to count on Henrich. Jorgensen is backed up from the edge of the infield grass, not looking for the bunt.

231
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Barney ready, throws. Henrich takes low, ball three, three and one.

232
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,000
The outfield around toward right, Jackie Robinson is halfway between first and second and about

233
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000
three steps in from the edge of the outfield grass with Gil Hodges holding against Rizuto.

234
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Henrich has a look at Frank Crocetti coaching at third for any sign.

235
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Bill Dickey coaching at first.

236
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,000
He's going to be off and running with this pitch in the event Casey tries to put on the hit and run.

237
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000
There goes Phil. The pitch is low inside, ball four. Henrich walks.

238
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Rizuto holds up, eases into second.

239
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
And now coming up is Yogi Berra.

240
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Berra has had one out of 11 in the series in the three games in which he's participated.

241
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
And thus you have almost a reproduction of the first inning of yesterday

242
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
where the first two Yankees getting on base.

243
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000
And then coming on yesterday, they were on first and third,

244
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Rizuto moving to third on Henrich's single.

245
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,000
And then came the play on which Berra hit into the unusual double play,

246
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000
The retired Rizuto who was on third and Henrich who had rounded second.

247
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Yogi squares away, Jorgensen in on the edge of the infield grass,

248
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
he's off third, Rizuto moves off second, Henrich off first.

249
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Here's the pitch, Yogi takes inside, ball one, he bluffed a bunt.

250
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Jack Banto, angular right-hander throwing the bullpen for Brooklyn.

251
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Outfield for Berra, round toward right.

252
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Gil Hodges has moved into the edge of the infield grass,

253
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
looking for the bunt though he hasn't charged.

254
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Neither has Jorgensen who will try to anchor at third if he can to let Barney handle the bunt.

255
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
If Yogi is bunting, runners lead away. Here's the pitch, Yogi shortens up, takes a strike.

256
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:35,000
And Campanella started to throw down to second as Reese broke for the bag but he didn't throw.

257
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
He cocked his arm but he didn't let the ball loose.

258
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
One ball, one strike.

259
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000
So the situation is boiling here in the first inning.

260
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000
This is a key man as Rex Barney is trying to settle down.

261
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
It's worked to count to one and one.

262
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Rizuto has his short lead off second, Henrich off first.

263
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Now Hodges is in behind Henrich. He's not looking for the bunt.

264
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Here's the pitch, Berra swings at a curve and misses.

265
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Strike two, he went for a bad pitch that was low inside.

266
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
One and two, the count on Yogi.

267
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Rex Barney who walked first two men, Rizuto and Henrich, is now ahead of the next man, Berra.

268
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
The count of one and two.

269
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
And of course Hodges is halfway back at first now, definitely not looking for any bunt.

270
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Two strikes on the batter.

271
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Riz halfway, it's short three strikes to the left of the bag. The stretch, the pitch, swung on.

272
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Grounded foul down behind the bag at first and behind Bill Dickey and into the Dodger bullpen.

273
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Ball retrieved along the right field line by the alternate umpire Ed Hurley of the American League,

274
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
George Barrow of the National League, stationed down the left field line.

275
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
You've got Radcliffe in left, Snyder in center, Hermanski in right.

276
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,000
That's the Dodger outfield today. They're playing bear to pull.

277
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Barney gets his sign from Campanella.

278
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Now he takes his stretch. Rizuto has his lead off second, Henrich off first.

279
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Here's the pitch and Berra takes low into the dirt and the ball is nicely blocked by Campanella.

280
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Keeping being a wild pitch and the count is two-two.

281
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Barney has a world of stuff but he, like the Yankees Tommy Byrne, will have a difficulty controlling it.

282
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
And when they can have their control down pretty well, they're tough to handle.

283
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Not easy to hit, in other words.

284
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Two balls, two strikes. Top of the first inning, Rizuto on second, Henrich on first.

285
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Reese trying to slip in behind Rizuto and Ivax away.

286
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Here's your pitch and it's inside for ball three. Full count on Yogi, three and two.

287
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
That pitch was very close to the inside corner.

288
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Possibly could have had it but probably was below the knees or at least it just missed it.

289
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Full count now on Berra. Three balls, two strikes, nobody out.

290
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Rizuto on second, Henrich on first and young Rex Barney getting ready for an important pitch.

291
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,000
They're all important in the World Series but particularly is it important at this moment?

292
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
There's Reese as it's going down to second trying to pick off playing the balls off Reese's glove

293
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,000
and he stumbles over the umpire passarella and going to third is Rizuto on the second, Henrich

294
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,000
and the ball is relayed into the plate by center fielder Duke Snyder on a peculiar play.

295
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,000
As they attempted to pick off Barney whirled through to Reese, Rizuto was getting back to the bag.

296
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,000
The ball was high, Reese went up for the ball and as he twisted around, Art Passarella, the umpire,

297
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,000
is there to call the play and Reese tumbled over him and cannot get up off the ground

298
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:36,000
and there was the shortstop of the Dodgers and Art Passarella both on the ground and Snyder

299
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000
racing in to back up and keep Rizuto from scoring.

300
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:48,000
So it is an error charged to Barney on the throw enabling Rizuto to go to third and Henrich to second.

301
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:54,000
So you have runners on second and third, three and two on Barney and now Barney will take the full

302
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,000
line up. Around comes the right arm, the pitch and Barney swings and grounds it foul off to the right of the plate.

303
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:06,000
The ball skips up into the box just to the right of the Commissioner's box.

304
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:13,000
The ball is moving here for a World Series fan. Full count then on Barney.

305
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Barney trying to help himself out of the jam on that pick off play but it didn't work and it resulted in an error

306
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,000
charged to him putting two men in scoring position, nobody down and the three-two pitch on its way

307
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:32,000
and Barney swings and misses, strike three.

308
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Barney strikes out Barra and now here comes Joe DiMaggio.

309
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Joe has had one out of fourteen in the series.

310
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:48,000
As Red told you, the story of Joe DiMaggio is one that hasn't been told too much in this series.

311
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000
He hasn't had a very good series for a great star.

312
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000
But then one of the reasons perhaps that not too much has been said about Joe's failure to hit is the fact that he got out of his

313
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
sickbed to finish the last two games of the year and is still not well.

314
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
And here he is, Rex Barney facing the clipper and the pitch.

315
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:14,000
High, ball one and the infield on the right side is in the left side deep as the Dodgers play it in a split-up defensive situation.

316
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,000
That is to say Jorgensen is halfway back at third, three-four feet off the line,

317
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Reese deep at short over toward the gap but there is Jackie Robinson on the edge of the infield grass

318
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,000
and Hodges just a step or two away from the edge of the infield grass.

319
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000
DiMaggio swings and sends a long drive to deep center field.

320
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
There Snyder racing way back toward the wall.

321
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
He leaps up and grabs it, tagging up and scoring after the catch at Rizzuto

322
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:40,000
and racing to third after the catch is Henrik as Duke Snyder leaps up against the deep center field wall

323
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,000
to three hundred and ninety-three foot sign to haul in the drive.

324
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:59,000
The man Joe gets a hand as he comes into the Yankee dugout and Casey Stengel pops his head out and claps his hands

325
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
and says, nice going Joe.

326
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
And Duke Snyder made his sensational catches.

327
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,000
He went all the way back to the deep center field wall and leaped and caught the ball above his head.

328
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000
And now here's Bobby Brown with two down, one run in, one to nothing, New York.

329
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Henrik on third, the pitch to Bobby in there for a called stripe.

330
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,000
That's about as good a ball as DiMaggio has hit on the series.

331
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And had he been able to pull it just a little bit, it would have been up into the seats.

332
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
It is almost into dead center field.

333
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Bobby Brown left hand hitter, chokes that bat.

334
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Barney throws, Bobby swings and hits one right back through the middle.

335
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Out of a second in the center for a base hit, Henrik comes in to score.

336
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Up for the ball is Snyder, off the grass, throws on into Robinson and the Yankees lead two to nothing.

337
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,000
As Bobby Brown continues his spectacular World Series heading.

338
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Three for three in 1947.

339
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:55,000
And he has had in this series three for eight.

340
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Now four for nine with that base hit.

341
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:04,000
So a total of seven out of twelve in World Series competition for Bobby Brown.

342
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,000
And that's Bobby's fourth RBI in the series and he leads everybody in that respect.

343
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Now here's Gene Woodling, left hand hitter.

344
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:16,000
The delivery inside, the knees, ball one.

345
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Two to nothing for every Yankees.

346
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000
And to refer to a situation that we always do, the manager's headache.

347
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Those bases on balls, that started the Yankees off in this inning.

348
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Barney stretches, checks his runner, the pitch right in there for a called strike, a throw down to first, not in time.

349
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Brown sliding back in.

350
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Hodges not bothering to tag Bobby because he throws a little late.

351
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Gene Woodling the batter, Cliff Mapes on deck, two runs in, top of the first inning.

352
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Barney again ready, has a look, here's the pitch.

353
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:56,000
The curve and it's just outside for a ball, two and one.

354
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Banda still continuing to limber up in the bullpen, not throwing too hard now.

355
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,000
He's almost ready in the event he's needed.

356
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Barney seems to be settling down a bit.

357
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,000
There's a quick throw to first back in time is Bobby Brown, quick move over.

358
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,000
When I said Barney seems to be settling down, I mean in so far as his wildness is concerned.

359
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:23,000
The right hander throws, the pitch is swung on foul-tip, skips off mid of Campanella into the chest protector in behind it of Cal Hubbard.

360
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:32,000
You know in the American League, the umpires wear the chest protector outside their jacket, the National League inside.

361
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Cal Hubbard working his second turn behind the plate in this series.

362
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
He opened it up at the stadium.

363
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Two balls, two strikes, two outs, two in, two to nothing New York, top of the first inning.

364
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Outfield around toward right for Woodling, stands in close to the plate.

365
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Barney throws, pitches inside.

366
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Ball three, three and two.

367
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Roy Campanella who has caught a beautiful series, taking his time for returning that ball to Barney.

368
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,000
The Yankees have all remarked about what a swell backstop Campanella is.

369
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,000
How swell he can throw and how he keeps all the baserunners on their toes.

370
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
And sometimes on their stomachs.

371
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
The pitch is inside as Brown was running on the three-two pitch with two outs.

372
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,000
It's ball four, Woodling walks.

373
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Third pass given up in this inning by Barney.

374
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000
And now coming to bat is Cliff Maepes.

375
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Maepes has had one out of seven in this series.

376
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Left hand hitter.

377
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Brown on second, Woodling on first.

378
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Two runs in.

379
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Two men out.

380
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000
In field is shaded around toward first.

381
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Rex Barney delivers.

382
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Maepes takes curve over for a call strike.

383
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Came in with a fastball motion and delivered a slow curve with it.

384
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Jorgensen, the third baseman, is halfway back.

385
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Six, eight feet off the line.

386
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Reese over towards second.

387
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
He's about three strikes to the left of the bag.

388
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Brown moves off second.

389
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Woodling off first.

390
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Here's your pitch.

391
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Swung on and foul tipped for strike two.

392
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Ball skips out of the mid of Campanella.

393
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Mara Brackley is over toward left center.

394
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Duke Seidler into right center.

395
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:26,000
And Gene Hermanski is shading right center more than he would be the right field line,

396
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,000
not looking for Maepes to pull too sharply.

397
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Runners move away from first and second bases of the pitch.

398
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
And it's inside to Maepes.

399
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Right around the letters for ball one, one and two.

400
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Ball players are not prone to take too much of a toehold against a pitcher who is inclined to be a bit wild as is Barney

401
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,000
or as is Tommy Byrne of the Yankees when he's working.

402
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
The one-two pitch.

403
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
It's just outside for ball two.

404
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,000
A curve.

405
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Mighty close.

406
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Barney figured he might have had the strike on that one.

407
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Two balls, two strikes, two outs, two in, two on.

408
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Brecht walks around the mound.

409
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
The eye comes back on.

410
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Campanella gives him the sign and sets up the target.

411
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Brown moves off second, woodling off first.

412
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Hodges very deep at first.

413
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
The stretch of the pitch.

414
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Swung on.

415
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:31,000
It's a high foul going out of play to the left of the plate and out of the ballpark.

416
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:38,000
The wind seems to be blowing from right out toward left.

417
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,000
So that at the present time, any ball hit up into the air in the direction of left field would be aided by the wind.

418
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Held up, hit out into right field to some extent.

419
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Once again, Barney set checks his two runners, leading off first and second.

420
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,000
The pitch, curve, and it's inside for ball three.

421
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Three and two.

422
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Two pitches that Barney has delivered, two of the pitches that Barney has delivered to MAPES have been very close.

423
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Full count.

424
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Three balls, two strikes, two outs.

425
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Reese came in a few steps, honored something to Barney.

426
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Brown on second, woodling on first.

427
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,000
They'll be off and running with this pitch.

428
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
They're being two down and three and two on the hitter.

429
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Stretch by Barney.

430
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,000
There go the runners.

431
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:31,000
The pitch is strike three, called a curve that broke over.

432
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,000
For the Yankees then, two runs, one hit.

433
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,000
No errors for the Dodgers.

434
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Two Yankees left on.

435
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
One error for the Dodgers as we double-checked.

436
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000
That was on Barney's attempted pickoff at second when he threw the ball over Reese's head.

437
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Two runs, one hit, one error, and two men left on.

438
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:54,000
And the score at the end of the first half of the first inning, Yankees two, Dodgers nothing.

439
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Show your chairs up, close fans, while I put you next to the hottest razor buy you ever heard about.

440
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:07,000
It's the sensational Gillette Super Speed razor set that's keeping clerks on the hop and sales zooming in stores all over the country.

441
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:16,000
A, you get a fine precision-made Gillette one-piece razor that changes blades instantly and skims off whiskers easy as pie.

442
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:24,000
B, you get a handy Gillette dispenser holding ten factory-sharp Gillette blue blades with the longest lasting edges ever produced.

443
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:31,000
C, you get a handsome modern styrene travel case that's an eye-opener for convenience and serviceability.

444
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Yes, and get this, all three razor, dispenser, and styrene case, a big $1.75 value, are yours for just $1.

445
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Better hurry.

446
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Retail stocks are getting low.

447
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Ask for the World Series Special, the modern Gillette Super Speed razor set, at your nearest store soon.

448
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Quick!

449
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Last half of the first inning, Vic Rasci goes to the mound for the Yankees, making his second start of the series and working with two days' rest.

450
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Defeated in the second game of the World Series, one to nothing by the Dodgers and Preacher Roe.

451
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:20,000
As Rasci gave up seven hits and one run and lost the ball game one to nothing.

452
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:32,000
The right-hander pitching to Peewee Reese, right-hand batter, throws and it's right in there for a called strike.

453
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,000
The official scorer has informed us that both runs for the Yankees were earned in the first inning.

454
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Here's the pitch, swung on, hit sharply short, one hop, Razuto grabs it, throws over to Henrik in time, and it's one away.

455
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Reese swung at a curve ball, hit it solidly, but right at Razuto on one hop, and Bill retired him.

456
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Johnny Jorgensen steps in now.

457
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Reese had had four hits in 14 times at bat in the series for a 286 average.

458
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Johnny Jorgensen, in three games, has had two out of eight.

459
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Left-hand hitter, Rasci delivers, fast ball in there for a called strike.

460
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Bobby Brown's in close at third.

461
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Razuto is over towards second base, about two strides to the left of the bag as we look out onto the field.

462
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Jerry Coleman halfway between first and second, back on the edge of the outfield grass, and Henrik near the line.

463
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Nick Rasci getting his sign now, taking a little time.

464
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Now he goes to work, into the windup, Brown comes to the right arm, the pitch is swung on, a grounder hits the third.

465
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Bobby Brown is left up with it, fires across to Henrik, end time, and they're two away.

466
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Two up and two down, and now here's Duke Snyder.

467
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:49,000
The Duke, one of the hitting disappointments in the series for the Dodgers, has had to one hit him 16 times at bat.

468
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:58,000
But still a fellow that Bert Schotten's got all the confidence in the world in, and rightfully so, because when he connects, he can send him.

469
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Nick Rasci's first pitch to the Duke, left-hand hitter in there for a call strike, slow curve, broke over just below the shoulders.

470
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Robinson, a rather Snyder, is the kind of guy who can break up a ballgame for you at any given moment.

471
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Robinson is on deck. Here's your pitch. Outside, ball one, one and one.

472
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:25,000
They play the Duke around toward right. Brown's in fairly close at third, giving the bag about a 10-foot berth.

473
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Here we go by the stride to the left of second.

474
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:36,000
The one-one pitch on its way, the left-hand batter cuts and misses at a curve that broke off into the dirt and skipped in behind Barrow.

475
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:44,000
One and two, the count. Duke a little overanxious.

476
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Jackie Robinson's on deck.

477
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Larry Coleman, the second baseman, kicking at the dirt. He's back on the edge of the outfield grass and at a point halfway between first and second bases, with Hendrick deep three feet off the first base line.

478
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
Milton Stock coaching at third. Jake Fittler at first for the Dodgers.

479
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Now the one-two pitch on its way from Rasci to Snyder, swung on and missed, strike three, and he's out of there.

480
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on.

481
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:18,000
And Snyder goes down striking out for the sixth time in the series.

482
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:26,000
DiMaggio had struck out five times, as had Snyder before the start of today's game.

483
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:32,000
So the two center feelers were both running parallel courses.

484
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:44,000
And now the Dodgers' symphony band are serenading one of the owners of the Dodgers, Walter O'Malley, evidently his birthday, as they are playing Happy Birthday.

485
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:50,000
And as they conclude, we pause ten seconds for station identification.

486
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,000
This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

487
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Hear the World Series exclusively over WOR, see it on WOR-TV, Channel 9, WOR and WOR-FM, New York.

488
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Going into the top of the second inning, Jerry Coleman, Vic Rasci, and then Phil Rizzuto will be coming up for the Yankees.

489
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000
It's two to nothing New York, end of the first inning of play.

490
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Spider Jorgensen comes in to say something to Rex Barney.

491
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Crowd sitting back rather quiet at the moment.

492
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:34,000
A lot of folks out here today who were unable to get here during the weekdays.

493
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,000
A lot of working people can't get out to the ballgames except on Sunday.

494
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Notice Lou Woodrow, skipper of the Indians, who won last year out here.

495
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:48,000
There's a pitch right in there for a call strike as Barney cut loose with a fastball right over.

496
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Jerry Coleman, right-hand hitter, has had three out of 15 in the series and has been playing a fine defensive game.

497
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Chokes that bat three inches or so in fairly close to the plate.

498
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Open stance, knees bent, leans from the waist a bit.

499
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Barney throws, fastball swung on, hit high up into the air in the short left.

500
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Reese goes out, waves Radcliffe off, he we hundred, and he makes the catch about 15 feet off the left field line, about 25 feet behind third base.

501
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000
So Coleman pops out the reason short left.

502
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:28,000
And now coming up is Vic Rasci.

503
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Vic Batcham, right-handed, outfield straightaway, infield shaded round toward third just a bit.

504
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
And in a normal setup, here's the pitch.

505
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Just outside, ball one, fastball.

506
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Yanks two, Dodgers nothing, second inning.

507
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Bill Rizzuto's in the batter circle.

508
00:40:48,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Rex Barney, the right-hander, throws, fastball, and it's outside for ball two, Rasci.

509
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Two-nothing count.

510
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Barney aims this one over, it's in there for a called strike, fastball.

511
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Two balls, one strike.

512
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Now the delivery to Vic is inside and a little high just around the shoulders, three-and-one the count.

513
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Barney gets his sign from Campanella, getting ready to work.

514
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Rasci stands way away from the plate, the three-one pitch, right over for called strike two.

515
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Barney has got a good fastball, really alive.

516
00:41:53,000 --> 00:42:00,000
I recall two years ago in the World Series when Billy Southworth came up here talking to Red and to me and he said,

517
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,000
there's a fellow I'd like to have on my ball club, he's got a lot of stuff.

518
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Here's your pitch, strike, no, it's ball four.

519
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Hubbard started to go up with a hand and he indicated as the crowd yelled that he was merely pointing down to first base.

520
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:19,000
The only way that we have of determining whether an umpire calls a strike or not is when he goes up with the right hand.

521
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:26,000
And Hubbard did go up with the right hand but he indicated again after that, that's the reason we called it the third strike,

522
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:33,000
as the crowd yelled, he said, with his gesture, he raised his hand up and pointed at first base, he merely meant for him to go on down.

523
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000
So it was ball four.

524
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:44,000
That's the fourth walk given up by Barney.

525
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Time is called here for a moment, a little conference at the mound, Reese, Robinson, Barney and Campanella,

526
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:58,000
while at the crash he adjusted his windbreaker.

527
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Now Rizzuto, who walked in the first inning and scored the first Yankee run, awaits the pitch, he's right hand hitter.

528
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:15,000
It's on its way and it's outside, ball one.

529
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:22,000
And now Campanella turns and says something to Hubbard.

530
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Barely uh, disgusting the situation a bit. Barney figures some of those pitches that were close should have been called strikes on some of these batters.

531
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Gil Hodges walked over a few faces in first, now we're ready to continue.

532
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:51,000
One out, one on, top of the second inning, two nothing New York. Barney throws, Rizzuto takes a strike call, fastball in there.

533
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:56,000
One ball, one strike, one out.

534
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Phil down on the end of the band a bit, here's your pitch. It's bunned down toward first, Hodges comes in, picks the ball up and tags Phil out on the line as Reishi goes to second.

535
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Now Phil will be credited with a sacrifice, though that was not actually his intention. He was bunning to get on with one out.

536
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,000
He was hoping to bun it to the right of the mound to make Robinson come in and field it.

537
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Hodges get off the bag so that he could beat it out, but he bunned it right toward Gil and the Dodger first baseman picked it up and retired Rizzuto unassisted.

538
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:31,000
However, since it moved, Reishi down to second, it must be scored as a sacrifice, though that was not the intent.

539
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Now here's Tommy Henry, at least that was not the sole intent.

540
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Frank Crissetti coaching the out third, hollering down to Reishi, he's watching Reiss and Robinson for Vick as Vick watches Barney.

541
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Barney has the stretch, here's the pitch and Henry swings and sends a ground ball to backhanded nicely by Hodges, flips to Barney covering for the out and a beautiful play.

542
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Gil Hodges backhanded that ball, which was hit into the hole between first and second, took a possible base hit away from Henry, flipped to Barney covering for the out, no runs for New York, no hits, no Dodger errors, one left on for the Yankees.

543
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Fans, Earl Torgeson, first baseman for the Boston Braves is here watching the game with us.

544
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Earl, come in and say a few words to the folks.

545
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,000
About Gillette Blue Blades, can you name a better kind?

546
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:23,000
You have me there, Mel, as far as I'm concerned, Gillette Blue Blades are absolutely top.

547
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Easy shaving?

548
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Not only that, but consistently good. You never find one that's great for both.

549
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Fans, buy Gillette Blue Blades and you'll go along with Earl Torgeson, I'm sure.

550
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Earl, have you enjoyed the series thus far?

551
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Not very well, I'm too much of a Dodger fan now. That National League, I'm rooting for that National League.

552
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Well, I can appreciate that. Rex Barney, you've batted against him a lot of times, haven't you?

553
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Yeah, he has a world of natural ability, he could be a great pitcher.

554
00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Well, getting that control down, of course, is his biggest problem and he seems to be settling down just a little bit.

555
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Yeah, I hope he does.

556
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Earl, how's your hand?

557
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:08,000
It's going along all right, Mel, it's a little stronger now, it's feeling better.

558
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:14,000
You expect by the time spring training rolls around to be ready again to go with the Boston Braves?

559
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,000
I hope so, Mel.

560
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Well, much obliged to you, Earl.

561
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Thank you very much.

562
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Earl Torgeson dropping in to visit with us for a little while.

563
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000
And now we're ready for the last half of the second inning.

564
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Jackie Robinson leads off for the Dodgers. Robinson's had two out of 12 in the series.

565
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,000
It'll be followed by Hermanski and Hodges, the thick crash, the right hand into the windup throws.

566
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Robinson takes outside for a ball as he bluffed a bunt.

567
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Brought Brown charging in from third.

568
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:44,000
Henrik is deep at first and Jackie looks as if he's going to try to shove one out towards second.

569
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:48,000
Jerry Coleman's only two strides to the right of second. Henrik near first, a lot of room in there.

570
00:46:48,000 --> 00:47:02,000
Here's your pitch, swung on line right to Coleman as he leaps and grabs it.

571
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Jackie Robinson's blazing liner was hit just above Coleman's head, but it sank.

572
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:16,000
It was a sinking liner and sank off to his left and Coleman spirited glove handed for a brilliant play.

573
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Robbing Jackie Robinson of a base hit.

574
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Now here's Gene Hermanski, left hand hitter.

575
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Raschi throws, Gene takes a strike over the outside corner as a fastball.

576
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,000
Bobby Brown's in close at third near the line.

577
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,000
Rizzuto over towards second base.

578
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Coleman halfway between first and second and deep.

579
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,000
Henrik deep near the line.

580
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,000
The outfield shaded around toward right.

581
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,000
Two to nothing New York last half of the second inning.

582
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Mick Raschi goes to work, in comes the pitch.

583
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Gene Hermanski takes high for a ball and the count is evened up now at one and one.

584
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Jake Pitler as usual walking up and down, coaching that first.

585
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Gil Hodges on deck, going through his usual batting, preceding his batting motions, adjusting his cap.

586
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,000
Here's the pitch and it's inside to Hermanski for ball two, two and one.

587
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,000
Berra turns and asks Hubbard where the ball was.

588
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,000
It was close.

589
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Two balls, one strike.

590
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Jerry Coleman just went over and took Jackie Robinson's club, which is nearby,

591
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:20,000
and tossed a little further back out on the grass in right field so it wouldn't be in his way.

592
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:25,000
Now your two-one pitch, swung on, popped foul off to the left of the plate and out of play.

593
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Ball going into the upper deck and you've got a two-two count on Gene.

594
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Raschi fumbling around with a rosin bag.

595
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Here's a new ball to work with, working with two days rest, he's taking his time.

596
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:51,000
In talking with fellows like Rogers Hornsby, for example, and other old time baseball greats,

597
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,000
they say that pitching with two days rest is not so rough really.

598
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,000
The two-two pitch, curve is swung on, drilled out of the right center field,

599
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,000
there's Mapes racing over and he takes it for the out.

600
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Hermanski didn't get a good cut at that ball.

601
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,000
If he'd have hit it solidly, they'd have gone a lot further.

602
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:16,000
Hornsby said that most of it's in a pitcher's mind.

603
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:26,000
And he referred back to the old days when pitchers used to work very frequently with very little rest.

604
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Gil Hodges, right-hand hitter, awaits the delivery from Raschi.

605
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:36,000
It's fastball over for a called strike.

606
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,000
Two to nothing, favor of New York, last the second inning, two down, nobody on.

607
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Hodges the batter, Marv Brackley on deck.

608
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,000
Outfield toward left.

609
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Raschi throws, fastball misses the outside corner this time.

610
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:57,000
The count is evened up at one and one.

611
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:03,000
Big Gil, born from Petersburg, Indiana, who made the change from a catcher to a first baseman

612
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:09,000
and has developed amazingly rapidly and shows promise of becoming a very outstanding first baseman

613
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,000
if he already hasn't done so.

614
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,000
One ball, one strike, the count on him.

615
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Raschi into the windup, in comes the pitch, swung on, hits sharply out to short.

616
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Zudowitz is right up with the ball, fires the long way to Henrik and it's in time for the out.

617
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:30,000
The Scooters show a flash of his brilliance that has put him into contention

618
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,000
for the most valuable player award in the American League this year as he raced to his right,

619
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:38,000
took that ball deep over toward third and threw Hodges out.

620
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:44,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left on and the score at the end of two innings,

621
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,000
two to nothing, in favor of the Yankees.

622
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:54,000
With the Yankees owning the only hit in the ball game thus far.

623
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Now as we move to the third, the Yanks will come up with Barra, DiMaggio and Brown.

624
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,000
It was good to see Ty Cobb out here and chat with him before the ball game.

625
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:08,000
And he is among the most excited of all the fans here at this World Series.

626
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:13,000
And in a measure you wouldn't think that there was a fellow who went through World Series

627
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:17,000
and a lot of the roughest and toughest ball games imaginable, a great competitor,

628
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:24,000
and played baseball for so many years, over 20, that you would figure that he'd take all this in stride.

629
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:29,000
But he's one of the most excited fans out here.

630
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:40,000
The Dodgers-Symphony band entertaining the crowd today.

631
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Top of the third inning, two to nothing.

632
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,000
For you late tuners in, the Yankees got two runs in the first inning when Rex Barney started off

633
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000
in wild fashion, walking Rizzuto and Henrik.

634
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,000
An attempted pickoff play at second, he threw the ball away.

635
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Rizzuto went to third and Henrik to second, and after Barra struck out,

636
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,000
DiMaggio drove Snyder to the center field wall to take his drive.

637
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,000
Rizzuto scored after the catch and Brown singled Henrik home.

638
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Now here's Barra. Barney throws. Pitch and swing on hit, back to the box on a hop.

639
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Rex takes it, throws over to Hodges and Barra is out.

640
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Yogi went after that first pitch and bounces out to Gil Hodges.

641
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:20,000
And up comes Joe DiMaggio, on whom Duke Snyder made a spectacular play in the first inning.

642
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Duke went all the way back to the center field wall,

643
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:27,000
393 foot mark, leap timed the air and took the ball up over his head.

644
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,000
So the Clippers steps in and Rex Barney starts to work on him.

645
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Right-hander fires, pitches inside at the belt for a ball.

646
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:40,000
The outfield is around toward left. Gene Hermansky almost half-facing the right field line.

647
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,000
He's way off of it. Third inning, one out, nobody on, two to nothing New York.

648
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:48,000
The delivery, swung on, lined out to center. Here Snyder coming in fast and he makes a good

649
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,000
man catch to the ball, sensationally, how about that?

650
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:15,000
Duke Snyder for the second consecutive time robs DiMaggio of a base hit as he came racing in from deep center.

651
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:19,000
And at top speed, reached down in about a foot or so off the ground,

652
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:25,000
blocked DiMaggio's sinking blazing liner to rob him of a base hit for the second straight time Joe's been at bat.

653
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Brilliant play by the Duke. Now here's Bobby Brown, who takes a fast ball low, little inside, ball one.

654
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:37,000
The crowd roared its approval of the sparkling defensive maneuver of Duke Snyder.

655
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,000
Duke probably figures, well, I'm center field and I haven't been hitting, I haven't let DiMaggio have any either.

656
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Here's a pitch and it's way outside for ball two. Two balls, no strikes.

657
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:01,000
DiMaggio himself remarked, he said, I've got only one hit in the series and that was what we term a blader, little roller he beat out.

658
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,000
And he says, you hit a lot of them real hard and real deep and they're caught.

659
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Here's your pitch, inside to Bobby, almost hit him ball three.

660
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,000
So he concluded, said, this is a funny game after all, isn't it?

661
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,000
You can get them a mile and they'll catch them.

662
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Then you can hit one five feet and beat them out.

663
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Brown single to center in the first inning to drive in the second Yankee run. It's two nothing New York third inning, two outs.

664
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Rex Barney comes in with his pitch and it's inside for ball four and Brown walks.

665
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,000
That's the fifth base on balls given up by Barney.

666
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,000
And coming to bat is Gene Woodling.

667
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Woodling drew a base on balls in the first inning.

668
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Barney walked 10 men on the 47 World Series and the six and two thirds innings he pitched.

669
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,000
But he had an earned run average of under three.

670
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,000
The right hander throws right over for a cross strike to Woodling.

671
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:02,000
Fast ball, got plenty of the inside portion of the plate, about high.

672
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:08,000
He's shade Woodling around toward right infield shaded around toward first Hodges holding against Brown two down.

673
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:16,000
In the event the Dodgers pull this one out of the fire and stay alive in the series, the scene will shift to Yankee Stadium for tomorrow.

674
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:24,000
And in that event, we'll be back on the air at our usual time of 1245 Eastern Standard Time.

675
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Today we started an hour later than usual because of the New York State law.

676
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:33,000
The pitch swung on hit solidly to Robinson's right and out in the right center.

677
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,000
There is Brown rounding second on his way to third.

678
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,000
Snyder up to the ball whips his third.

679
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,000
Cut off by Reese Woodling holds first.

680
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:43,000
It's a solid line single to right center field.

681
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Jackie darted to his right as the ball hit the skin part of the infield after starting out as a liner.

682
00:55:49,000 --> 00:56:02,000
But as he attempted to backhand, he couldn't quite get to it and he went on out there for the base hit.

683
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,000
So the Yankees have runners on first and third.

684
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:11,000
That's their second hit off Barney and the batter is Cliff Mapes who took a third strike in the first inning.

685
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
The left hand batter swings and foul chips it at the plate.

686
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Strike one.

687
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Barney delivered a curve ball up there.

688
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,000
One strike to count.

689
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,000
Brown on third.

690
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Woodling on first.

691
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Hodges holding against Jean.

692
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,000
Banta starts to work the bullpen again for Brooklyn.

693
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Rex Barney stretches.

694
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,000
Pitches.

695
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,000
Mapes takes outside for the ball.

696
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,000
Fast ball.

697
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,000
It took off.

698
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Frank Versetti has a look in for Dugout.

699
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:47,000
See if Casey Stengel has got anything in particular on his mind.

700
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Frank passes the signs along.

701
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Barney again ready.

702
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Throws.

703
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Mapes started to swing and held up at a curve.

704
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:59,000
It's inside and Mapes in his effort to hold up fell away from the plate to his knees.

705
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:00,000
Two balls.

706
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,000
One strike.

707
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Brown on third and Woodling on first.

708
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,000
The Yankees leading two to nothing.

709
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:05,000
Third inning.

710
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Two men down.

711
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Dodgers young right hander looks in, gets his sign from Campanella.

712
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Again he's ready.

713
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Takes his stretch.

714
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Runners move off first and third.

715
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,000
The pitch is swung on and missed.

716
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,000
Forced strike two.

717
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,000
Here's a breaking ball.

718
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:25,000
And now Casey Stengel pops out of the Yankee dugout, hollers something at Cliff.

719
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:29,000
One of Casey's favorite expressions as all managers do have.

720
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Just get a piece of the ball.

721
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,000
Don't try to murder it.

722
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Two balls.

723
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Two strikes.

724
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,000
Two on.

725
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Two nothing New York.

726
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Once again the runners move away from first and third.

727
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,000
The pitch.

728
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,000
Mapes swings and fouls it off to the left of the plate.

729
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Dog goes back to the screen.

730
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Barney with a new ball to work with.

731
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Two balls.

732
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Two strikes on Cliff Mapes.

733
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Two strikes on third.

734
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Woodling on first.

735
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Again the right hander has the stretch.

736
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,000
Runners move.

737
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,000
The pitch.

738
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:14,000
It's low inside for ball three.

739
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:23,000
Barney looks in as if to say, mm-hmm, that was close and it was.

740
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,000
So we've got a full count on Mapes and with two down, Brown on third will be playing it

741
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,000
safe.

742
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,000
Woodling on first will be off and running.

743
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:31,000
Barney stretches.

744
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,000
Woodling ready to go.

745
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:39,000
The pitch is outside ball four and they're loaded up.

746
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,000
The sixth base on balls given up by Barney.

747
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,000
Brown is on third.

748
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Woodling is on second.

749
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Mapes is on first.

750
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,000
Milton Stock pokes his head out of the Dodger dugout and orders from Burt Schotton to see

751
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:53,000
how bad it is looking out there warming up in the Dodger bullpen down the right field

752
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,000
line.

753
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:58,000
And the batter is Jerry Coleman.

754
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,000
Jerry popped out on the second inning to Pee Wee Reese.

755
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,000
Right hand hitter.

756
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:08,000
Casey Stengel again pops his head out of the Yankee dugout located to the left of home

757
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,000
plate and hollers his usual expression, get a piece of it Jerry.

758
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,000
He's a choke hitter.

759
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,000
Chokes up on that bat about three inches of batter in close to the plate.

760
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Brown leads off third.

761
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,000
Woodling off second.

762
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:20,000
Mapes off first.

763
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:21,000
The wind up by Barney.

764
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:22,000
In comes the pitch.

765
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:27,000
Coleman takes outside ball one.

766
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,000
One ball no strikes.

767
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:33,000
The outfield is about straight away and there is Hermanski moving a couple of steps more

768
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:37,000
over toward the right field line.

769
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Coleman can hit that ball just where it's pitched.

770
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:43,000
He'll pull it, he'll hit it straight away, he'll hit it to right.

771
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,000
Rex Barney into the wind up.

772
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,000
In comes the pitch.

773
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,000
Swung on.

774
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,000
Hit on the hole between third and short to left field.

775
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Brown scores.

776
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:50,000
Woodling rounds third.

777
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Dicks to the plate.

778
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,000
The ball bobbled momentarily by Radcliffe.

779
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,000
His throw is back to second base.

780
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Mapes gets back there in time.

781
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,000
It's a two run single for Jerry Coleman.

782
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:02,000
And the Yankees lead four to nothing and out of the dugout comes Dodger pitching coach

783
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Clyde Sutforth.

784
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Jerry Coleman coming up with a clutch single to left drive in two runs.

785
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Scoring Brown and Woodling.

786
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,000
And all this action has happened after there were two men out and nobody on.

787
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Again the base on ball started it.

788
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,000
With two down Brown walked.

789
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,000
Woodling singles.

790
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Mapes walked and Coleman single to left.

791
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:28,000
That's going to be all for Rex Barney and Jack Batha will come onto the scene.

792
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:35,000
Jerry Coleman gets his fourth hit of the series.

793
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Driving in his second and third runs.

794
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:44,000
There was Jerry Coleman's base clearing double in the eighth inning of the final game of

795
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,000
The season a week ago today against the Boston Red Sox.

796
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:54,000
The game of the Yankees there margin that carried him through the ninth inning against

797
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Boston.

798
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:06,000
So Barney leaves after having gone two and two thirds innings and the fans give him a

799
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,000
hand.

800
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:14,000
He like Byrne is tough to hit but Wildness causes the trouble.

801
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:21,000
Barney only allowed three hits but he walked six struck out to land.

802
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:33,000
And now Jack Batha comes on.

803
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Erskine is going to work in the bullpen for Brooklyn.

804
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:45,000
Batha has been in two games previously working a total of three and a third innings in this

805
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,000
series.

806
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Allowing only two hits and giving up one walk striking out to and has not allowed any runs.

807
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:00,000
The right hander starts his warmup gets four to nothing now in favor of New York as just

808
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:05,000
concluded his warmup pitches from the mound and the first man he'll face will be Vic Grashee.

809
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Jack Batha, six foot, two hundred and sixty-five pounder from Hutchinson, Kansas goes to work

810
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,000
with MAPES on second Coleman on first.

811
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:24,000
His delivery to Grashee is curved swung on for strike one.

812
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:28,000
Vic swung at that ball after his R.A. in Campanella's mid.

813
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,000
Look I couldn't make up his mind whether he wanted to or not.

814
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,000
Grashee walked in the second inning.

815
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,000
Two runs are in here in the third.

816
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Four nothing New York.

817
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,000
Batha ready.

818
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:42,000
Throws.

819
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Pitch swung on hit through the short end to left center field for a base hit.

820
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,000
MAPES rounds third comes in to score.

821
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:52,000
The throw goes to second and Coleman dives back into the bag as Vic Grashee smacked a

822
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:58,000
solid single to Reese's left in the left center to drive in the third run of the inning for

823
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,000
New York.

824
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Scoring Cliff MAPES.

825
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,000
And it's five to nothing in favor of the Yankees.

826
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:24,000
And now coming up is Phil Rizzuto as Gil Hodges goes over the mound to talk to Jack.

827
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Batha allowed a single in the ninth inning of the first game here in Brooklyn.

828
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,000
The first man he faced when he came under relief.

829
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,000
Rizzuto swings and fouls a pitch off to the right of the plate.

830
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,000
That also scored a run.

831
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:42,000
He allowed a single to Coleman, the first man he faced, and then was all right thereafter.

832
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,000
That run of course is charged to Rex Barney.

833
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,000
It was put on by him.

834
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Coleman's on second.

835
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Grashee on first two down.

836
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,000
Three in.

837
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,000
Five nothing Yankees.

838
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Phil Rizzuto takes low for a ball.

839
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:53,000
One and one.

840
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,000
The scooter walked in sacrifice previously.

841
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:03,000
He's not been charged with a time at bat in this ball game.

842
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:07,000
Yankee pitchers have done pretty well helping themselves in the hitting department this

843
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:08,000
series.

844
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,000
There's a pitch inside.

845
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:10,000
Rizzuto drops to the ground.

846
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Ball two.

847
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Two and one to count.

848
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:20,000
All the damage done here in the third inning after the two men were out, nobody on.

849
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,000
Brown walked.

850
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Woodling single.

851
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:23,000
MAPES walked to load him up.

852
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Coleman single.

853
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:25,000
The first out went Barney in came Banner.

854
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,000
Grashee greeted him with a single to score MAPES.

855
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,000
Coleman's on second.

856
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,000
Grashee on first.

857
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:31,000
Two balls, one strike on Rizzuto.

858
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,000
The right-hander for the Dodgers stretches, pitches.

859
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,000
Rizzuto takes a curve outside for ball three.

860
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,000
Three and one.

861
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:46,000
Carl Erskine continues to limber up in the Dodger bullpen.

862
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:55,000
Banner kicks the dirt out in front of the rubber.

863
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Get you a sign from Roy.

864
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:58,000
Runners lead.

865
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,000
Now the pitch.

866
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:00,000
And it's in there for Carl.

867
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,000
Strike two.

868
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Fast ball.

869
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:03,000
Got plenty of the inside of the plate.

870
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,000
And around the letters.

871
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:09,000
So with a full count on Rizzuto, three balls, two strikes, and with two outs, Coleman, who

872
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:15,000
is on second, Grashee, who is on first, will be off and running with the pitch.

873
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,000
Coleman and Grashee ready to go.

874
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,000
There they go.

875
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,000
The pitch swung on as they drive to left center field.

876
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Duke Snyder moves over to get under it, and he makes the catch.

877
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,000
So eight men batted for New York.

878
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,000
Three of them scored.

879
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Three hits.

880
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:38,000
No Dodger errors, and two Yankees left on.

881
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:43,000
The score at the end of two and a half innings, the Yankees five, the Dodgers nothing.

882
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:48,000
Friends, you heard Earl Torgeson of the Boston Braves say Gillette Blue Blades are tops with

883
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:53,000
him because they're always easy shaving, always consistently good.

884
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:58,000
Now folks, there are many reasons for that, including 71 separate inspections that assure

885
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,000
absolutely uniform quality.

886
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Basically, however, Gillette Blue Blades are superior because they're infinitely sharper,

887
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,000
smoother finished, and longer lasting.

888
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:13,000
In short, they're made of steel that takes an edge and holds it, so they never break

889
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:17,000
down prematurely like ordinary blades that scrape and pull.

890
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:23,000
For extra convenience at no extra cost, buy Gillette Blue Blades in the Gillette Dispenser

891
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,000
that zips them out unwrapped.

892
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:29,000
It makes blade changing a cinch, saves time and bother.

893
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:35,000
You get 20 blades, 40 shaving edges for 98 cents, 10 blades for 49 cents.

894
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,000
Look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp.

895
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:46,000
Use Gillette Blue Blades for the sharpest edges ever honed.

896
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:50,000
Vic Brashee, taking his time coming out of the Yankee dugout to the mound, he was on the

897
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:55,000
bases, gives us time to identify ourselves.

898
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:59,000
And so we pause 10 seconds for station identification.

899
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:03,000
This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

900
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,000
World Series exclusively over WOR.

901
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:18,000
See it on WOR TV, Channel 9, WOR and WORFM, New York.

902
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:25,000
This is Mel Allen speaking to you from Ebbets Field, Red Barber, and I'm very happy to bring

903
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:30,000
you this World Series, which is the 11th consecutive one brought to you by the Gillette Safety

904
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:36,000
Racer Company, and Jim Britt doing the television, Renee Canazares beaming it to our Latin American

905
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:37,000
neighbors.

906
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:41,000
And now on the last of the third inning, first pitch is in there for a call strike to Marvin

907
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:47,000
Radclay, a left-hand batter.

908
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:53,000
Marv, a 5'10, 170 pounder from Wallaholla, South Carolina.

909
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:58,000
Brashee throws, it's swung on and fouled off the chest protector of Cal Hubbard's, it got

910
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:03,000
by Barrow for strike two.

911
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Five to nothing, favor of New York, last of the third inning.

912
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:10,000
This broadcast is also being heard around the world through the facilities of the Armed

913
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,000
Forces Radio Service.

914
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Our troops, our boys and girls in service wherever they may be stationed.

915
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,000
Brashee studies, Barrow sign, going to work.

916
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,000
Around comes the right arm, in comes the pitch, and it is swung on and fouled, tipped, but

917
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,000
into the mid of Barrow for strike three.

918
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:32,000
We had to hold up and wait to see if Barrow held onto the ball as did Cal Hubbard before

919
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,000
he would call him out.

920
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:44,000
And now here's Roy Campanella.

921
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:54,000
Brashee's second strikeout in this ball game, his sixth in the series.

922
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:58,000
Roy Campanella, right hand batter.

923
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:02,000
Brashee delivers, fastball just outside, ball one.

924
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:08,000
Campanella's had three for twelve, including a home run in the series for Brooklyn.

925
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,000
Outfield around toward left infield, shaded well around toward third, brown deep, five

926
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:16,000
feet off the line, resumed over toward the gap, the pitch, right over for a call strike,

927
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:18,000
evens up the count now, one and one.

928
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:23,000
One ball, one strike, one out, last of third, New York fire, Brooklyn nothing.

929
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Yankees leading games three to one.

930
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,000
Here's your one-one service.

931
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:36,000
Campanella takes fastball outside for ball two, two and one.

932
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:40,000
In the game that Brashee pitched against the Dodgers at the stadium, second game of the

933
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:44,000
series, he used quite a number of curve balls.

934
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:48,000
He has been featuring primarily fast stuff so far today.

935
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Now the two-one pitch, swung on, hit Sharpie down the third baseline, by Brown into the

936
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,000
left field corner, Woodling goes over into the corner, chases the ball up with it, fires

937
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:00,000
to second base, there's Campanella going in, the throw is toward third and Campanella's

938
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:15,000
on second with the double.

939
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Gene Woodling, after he fielded that ball, we were watching Campanella and figuring Woodling

940
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:25,000
to be throwing to second, but instead he fired toward third, it caught Brown a little bit

941
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:30,000
off guard and it got by him, but Barrow was backing up, and it's a double for Campanella,

942
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:35,000
The first hit given up by Rashee.

943
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Jack Banta is going to come up to hit for himself.

944
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:51,000
Jerry Coleman's over to talk to Rashee.

945
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,000
That was the fifth Dodger double of this series.

946
01:10:54,000 --> 01:11:06,000
Rashee throws to Banta, left-hand hitter, it's in there for a called strike.

947
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:11,000
Banta is figured to be only a fair hitter as a pitcher, but anytime a man's up there

948
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,000
swinging a batch, you got to be wary of him.

949
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:18,000
A curve is swung on, a ground ball hit to Henrik, he's up with it, out runs Banta with

950
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:23,000
The bag, going to third is Campanella, they're two down, and coming up is Peewee Reese.

951
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Banta grounds out to Henrik unassisted.

952
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:33,000
Rashee ran over to cover, but Henrik said, I'll take him, and did.

953
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:39,000
Now we go to the top of the Brooklyn order, and here's Peewee Reese, grounded to Rizzuto

954
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:44,000
on the first inning, hitting a sharp one-hopper to the scooter.

955
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:51,000
Brown moves in close at third, ready to move in on a top ball.

956
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Not necessarily figuring Reese to be bunting with two outs, but then you always have to

957
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,000
watch every possibility, whether it be the unexpected or not in baseball.

958
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:03,000
Campanella on third, two down, here's the pitch to Reese, outside, ball one,

959
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:10,000
Spider Jorgensen on deck, outfield shaded toward left for Reese, stands in fairly close

960
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:15,000
to the plate, slightly open stance, holds the bat down at the end of the handle, pretty

961
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,000
much.

962
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:22,000
Rashee starts his windup, around comes the right arm, in comes the pitch, strike call,

963
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:27,000
a fast ball in there just above the knees, and the count is now even up at one and one.

964
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:31,000
Reese wants Cal Huber to have a look at the ball, and Cal gives a new one to Barra and

965
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:37,000
tosses the one that Rashee just had out of the game.

966
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,000
Might have been discolored.

967
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:44,000
Ball player's figure is tough enough to see those pitches coming up there without

968
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:48,000
pitcher throwing one that might have been stained by hitting the grass or being

969
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:52,000
discolored through the rubbing up process or getting into the dirt one way or another.

970
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:56,000
One ball, one strike, two down, Campanella on third, last to the third, five-nothing

971
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:00,000
New York, in comes the pitch, Reese swings, bounce it off to the right of the plate,

972
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:10,000
out of play, way back into the upper deck, and the count is one and two.

973
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:20,000
This has been just about the warmest day that we have had in the series.

974
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:26,000
A lot of blue upstairs, patches of white, maybe some clouds just in behind us where

975
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:31,000
The sun is because it's not out too strongly at the moment.

976
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:34,000
And as we speak, it fades away almost altogether.

977
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,000
Here's your pitch, swung on a ground ball, hit in the hole between first and second,

978
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,000
out of the right field for a base hit.

979
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Campanella comes in to score, mates up with the ball, flips to Rasuto, and Reese is on

980
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:53,000
with a run-producing single to right field.

981
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:57,000
So the Pee-wee came through in the clutch.

982
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:01,000
He's one of your great money ball players.

983
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:06,000
Getting his fifth hit of the series and driving in his second run.

984
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,000
Hit the ball to the opposite field, on the ground, in between first and second, where

985
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:13,000
The Yankees were least expecting them to hit.

986
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:17,000
It's now a five-to-one ball game, and here is Piter Jorgensen, left-hand hitter up,

987
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:21,000
The stretch by Rasci, the pitch, swung on to high, pop-up, out back of second.

988
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:25,000
Rasuto is under the ball, waiting for her to come down, Reese running, and Bill makes

989
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:28,000
The catch for the out-to-end, the inning.

990
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:33,000
One run for Brooklyn, two hits, no Yankee errors, one left on for the Dodgers.

991
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:37,000
And the score at the end of three innings and the totals, the Yankees, five runs,

992
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,000
four hits, no errors, five left on.

993
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Brooklyn, one run, two hits, one error, and one man left on.

994
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:45,000
Red?

995
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,000
Yes, ma'am?

996
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,000
In all the years that you've been watching that great guy, great performer, Pee-wee Reese,

997
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:53,000
I guess you've seen him come through on the clutch many a time.

998
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:59,000
Well, Reese and Rasuto have, at shortstop, given us all that you'd ever expect to see

999
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,000
in the World Series at that position.

1000
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:07,000
And both also have been very well up at the plate, and they have run bases very well.

1001
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:14,000
Frank Frisch, last evening I happened to bump into him, and of course he's been an infielder himself

1002
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:18,000
and managed ball clubs, played in more World Series games than anybody else.

1003
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,000
And his eye has been taken.

1004
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,000
Of course he admits to being an old broken-down infielder.

1005
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Now he watches infielders first.

1006
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,000
But he was talking about the work of Rasuto and Reese.

1007
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:31,000
And I think actually that few fans appreciate either one as much as they should,

1008
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:35,000
because neither Rasuto nor Reese have any eccentricities.

1009
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,000
They try and make everything look easy.

1010
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,000
They play very smoothly.

1011
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:44,000
In fact, as Brett Schotton says, Reese should apply it to both.

1012
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,000
They are ringers, Mel.

1013
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:48,000
In other words, they're pros.

1014
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,000
That's right.

1015
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:54,000
As we go to the fourth inning, Yankees 5, Dodgers 1.

1016
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:59,000
Tommy Henrik, Yogi Vera, and Joe DiMaggio are coming up for New York.

1017
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:02,000
Jack Banta, right-hander throws to Henrik.

1018
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,000
Curve inside, ball one.

1019
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:08,000
For you late tuners in, Rex Barney was the starting pitcher for Brooklyn.

1020
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:12,000
Went two and two-thirds innings, gave up three hits, and was out of there.

1021
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:21,000
In comes the pitch now, swung on and missed by Henrik as he went all the way on that one.

1022
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:27,000
All the runs that the Yankees have scored are charged to Barney.

1023
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Banta throws, change up and it's outside, ball two, two and one.

1024
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,000
Outfield swung way around toward right for Henrik.

1025
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,000
Jorgensen about a dozen feet off the third baseline,

1026
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:39,000
four steps away from the edge of the infield,

1027
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,000
grass race about three strides to the left of second.

1028
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:46,000
Here's your pitch, swung on by Henrik, a ground ball hit to Robinson going to his right upper that throws over to Hodges.

1029
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,000
Henrik is out.

1030
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,000
Tommy Henrik grounding out.

1031
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Robinson to Hodges, second to first.

1032
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,000
Here's Yogi Vera.

1033
01:16:55,000 --> 01:17:03,000
The St. Louis lads struck out in the first inning, bounced out to the pitcher in the third.

1034
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:07,000
Yogi bemoans the fates that cost him an injury on his left thumb.

1035
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:10,000
There's a pitch that's outside for a ball.

1036
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:23,000
And he remarked that he was sorry that his thumb hurt him so because he's had a lot of good pitches to hit but hadn't been able to swing hard on him, he said.

1037
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:29,000
Banta delivers, Yogi takes inside, little old ball two.

1038
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:30,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1039
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:31,000
One out.

1040
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:32,000
Fourth inning.

1041
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,000
Yankees five, Dodgers one.

1042
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Outfield infield set up.

1043
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,000
Same for Vera as for Henrik.

1044
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:43,000
Right-hander Jack Banta comes in with a pitch that's outside the curve ball.

1045
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:50,000
Three-nothing to count.

1046
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:56,000
Banta to the rosin bag, gives it a touch, wipes his hand across the letters of the uniform.

1047
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:03,000
Anyway, for that three-nothing pitch, aims it over the plate and it is in there for the called strike, three-and-one.

1048
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:08,000
Gil Hodges deep at first and almost on top of that first baseline.

1049
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:12,000
Jackie Robinson halfway between first and second and back deep.

1050
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,000
Now the three-one pitch from Banta to Vera.

1051
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:22,000
Swung on, lined right to Hodges for out number two.

1052
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Two up and two away and here's Joe DiMaggio who twice has been the victim of spectacular catches by center fielder Duke Snyder.

1053
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:39,000
In the first inning, Duke went to the wall and straight center field, deep center field, the 393-foot sign leaped and caught DiMaggio's drive over his head.

1054
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,000
Here's your delivery.

1055
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,000
Inside to Joe for a ball.

1056
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:53,000
The last time that DiMaggio was up, he drilled a smart liner in the center and Snyder came running in at top speed and gloved it about a foot off the ground.

1057
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:54,000
Banta throws.

1058
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,000
DiMaggio takes low outside for ball two.

1059
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1060
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:58,000
Two outs.

1061
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:02,000
In the second inning, New York 5, Brooklyn 1.

1062
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Bobby Brown on deck.

1063
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:10,000
Outfield is swung around toward left infield, shaded well around toward third.

1064
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,000
Joe with that classic stance of his, bat cocked up off his right shoulder.

1065
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,000
On the next pitch swings and sends a long drive.

1066
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,000
It stays fair and goes all the way.

1067
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:18,000
It is going.

1068
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:19,000
It is going.

1069
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:45,000
It is going.

1070
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:53,000
DiMaggio made sure this time nobody was going to make a spectacular catch and the boys greet him because he's had a rough series in the base hit department.

1071
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:58,000
And the entire team practically came out and met him in front of the dugout and patted him on the back.

1072
01:19:58,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Here's Bobby Brown.

1073
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Strike one call over the inside corner.

1074
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,000
Joe made sure that this time nobody was going to rob him.

1075
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:13,000
Hit a high towering drive into the lower left field seats that just did go into the right of the foul pole as that ball was hooking.

1076
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,000
Now the pitch to Brown.

1077
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:16,000
Strike two call over the inside corner.

1078
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:19,000
The ball cleared the 348 foot mark.

1079
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:26,000
And yet he was out when he drove one nearly 400 feet, 393 feet to be exact, in straightaway center.

1080
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:30,000
That's DiMaggio's sixth World Series homer.

1081
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:32,000
This is the eighth series in which he has participated.

1082
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:35,000
The pitch is swung on and missed strike three for Bobby Brown.

1083
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:40,000
And Campanello flipped the ball down to Jorgensen at third, though it was the third out.

1084
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:46,000
It shows you that sometimes the power of concentration in the World Series will do certain things to certain fellows.

1085
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
Strike three.

1086
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,000
One run for New York, one hit.

1087
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,000
No errors for the Dodgers.

1088
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:53,000
Nobody left on.

1089
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,000
And a hand for DiMaggio.

1090
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:58,000
And the crowd tweets him going out into center field.

1091
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:05,000
And the score at the end of three and a half innings, the Yankees six, the Dodgers one.

1092
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Last half of the fourth inning.

1093
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:11,000
Duke Snyder leads off with the Dodgers left-hand batter, struck out in the first inning, rashy pitches.

1094
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,000
Duke takes a curve over for a call strike.

1095
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:16,000
Jackie Robinson on deck.

1096
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,000
Hermanski to follow.

1097
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:23,000
There was a wild rumor that spread briefly before the ballgame concerning DiMaggio,

1098
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:27,000
but it was quickly scotched that he was back in the hospital with a 103 degree fever.

1099
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,000
Here's a pitch swung on and missed strike two.

1100
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:33,000
Duke cut hard.

1101
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:40,000
That was one story that was easy to trace down and scotch in a hurry because all he had to do was go down to the Yankee dressing room when the team arrived.

1102
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:45,000
And there was Joe with his son, Joe Jr., Joe putting on his uniform.

1103
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:52,000
The right-hander comes in with his pitch and it's swung on and missed strike three.

1104
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:59,000
And Snyder goes down, striking out for the seventh time in the series.

1105
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,000
Now Jackie Robinson steps in.

1106
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:06,000
Robbed with a base hit in the second inning by Jerry Coleman.

1107
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:12,000
On a sinking line of the Jerry Glove.

1108
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:16,000
Outfield, shifts around toward left, shades around toward third on the infield,

1109
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,000
frown in close to third in the event of a bunt or top roller.

1110
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:26,000
Big crash into the lineup, throws, strike call, fastball through there.

1111
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:31,000
New York six, Brooklyn one, last to fourth.

1112
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,000
Robinson stands deep in the batter's box, just a little way away from the plate.

1113
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:39,000
Rashie's delivery, curve, swung on, hit right back through the middle out over second in the center for a base hit.

1114
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:43,000
Joe DiMaggio comes in, scoops the ball up off the green carpet, throws in the second to Rizzuto.

1115
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:47,000
And Robinson holds on at first with a single to center.

1116
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:51,000
There was a curve ball that he hit and he was just waiting for it.

1117
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,000
Hit it right back through the middle.

1118
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:56,000
That's the third hit off Rashie.

1119
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:04,000
And now coming to bat is Gene Hermanski, who flied out to MAPES in the second inning.

1120
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:10,000
Left hand batter, Bobby Brown about five feet off third, two steps away from the edge of the infield grass.

1121
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,000
Rizzuto three steps to the left of second in halfway.

1122
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:17,000
Now your pitch, swung on, it's a high fly ball out into short left.

1123
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:20,000
Woodling trots in, towards short, under the ball.

1124
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,000
Rizzuto hollers, take it Gene, he does.

1125
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:25,000
Robinson halfway to second turns and shoots back to first.

1126
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Hermanski flies out to Woodling in short left.

1127
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:37,000
And now coming to bat is Gil Hodges, who grounded a short in the second inning.

1128
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:42,000
Tommy Henrik hollers to Rashie, I'm going to play halfway, or I'm going to play not on the bag rather,

1129
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,000
against Robinson but in behind him.

1130
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:49,000
Now Henrik moves in and has a look at Casey Stengel in the Yankee dugout to see where he wants him to play.

1131
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:55,000
Meantime, Gil Hodges, right hand hitter steps in, stands away from the plate,

1132
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:58,000
fairly deep in the batter's box, open stance.

1133
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,000
Outfield around toward left, they claim the pull toward left field.

1134
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,000
Here's your pitch, curve, and it's inside for a ball.

1135
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:08,000
One ball, no strikes.

1136
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:15,000
We'll watch Jackie Robinson for you in the event he does decide to take off and try to steal second.

1137
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,000
Jerry Coleman moves in a step or two, hollers something to Rashie.

1138
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:24,000
In the second inning, New York 6, Brooklyn 1.

1139
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,000
Woodling is way back deep in left.

1140
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,000
Rashie stretches, Robbie dances off first.

1141
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:35,000
Henrik moves over to first, here's the pitch, and it's outside, ball two.

1142
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:39,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1143
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:43,000
Robinson danced off first as if he might be thinking of going down,

1144
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,000
and Henrik who was in behind him then came dashing over to first.

1145
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:50,000
Rashie had a look, but instead of throwing to Henrik, came into the plate with it.

1146
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:55,000
Robinson widens his lead a bit, stretched by Rashie, you look at Jackie.

1147
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,000
There's the pitch, and it's in there for a strike.

1148
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:03,000
Jackie bluffed to dash to second that time, thought he was going to go.

1149
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:07,000
Two and one, they count on Hodges.

1150
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Robinson and Hodges now exchange glances.

1151
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:17,000
They stand down, Rashie with the stretch, a look.

1152
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,000
Here's your pitch, swung on, lying out in the right field corner,

1153
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:23,000
and Robinson might possibly score on his rounding second, headed for third.

1154
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,000
Mape plays the rebound beautifully, he throws in to Rizzuto

1155
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:29,000
and holds Hodges to a single and Robinson to third.

1156
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:33,000
Cliff Mape's beautiful play of that ball off the right field wall,

1157
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:37,000
held that blow to a single as Hodges lined it into the right field corner,

1158
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:40,000
and Mape, who was over in the right center, dashed over

1159
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:44,000
and played the rebound perfectly to keep Jackie Robinson from scoring

1160
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:47,000
and keep Hodges from taking the extra bases.

1161
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:51,000
So Hodges lined a single into the right field corner,

1162
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:55,000
sending Robinson to third, and the batter is Mar Brackley,

1163
01:25:55,000 --> 01:26:00,000
who struck out in the third inning.

1164
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:07,000
And immediately, Carl Hurskin starts to warm up in the Dodger bullpen,

1165
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:13,000
with Burchot inevitably having in mind the injection of a pinch hitter

1166
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:19,000
for Banton, should Brackley, who now is at bat, and Campanella, who follows, get on.

1167
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:23,000
Score, Yankee six, Brooklyn one, the last half of the fourth,

1168
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:28,000
Robinson on third, Hodges on first, two men down,

1169
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:40,000
Brackley left hand hitter up, stretch the pitch, outside, ball one.

1170
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:47,000
There's nobody warming up in the Yankee bullpen.

1171
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:54,000
Vick again ready, he throws, inside, ball two, Robinson on third,

1172
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,000
Hodges on first, two down, and stretch by Raschi.

1173
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Here's the pitch, strike call, got the inside corner, just below the belt,

1174
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:10,000
two-one count on Marv, Bobby Brown's in close at third,

1175
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:13,000
Rizzuto four strides to the left of second in halfway,

1176
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:16,000
Jerry Coleman deep, four strides to the right of second,

1177
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:22,000
Henrik just in behind Hodges at first, a two-one count on Brackley,

1178
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,000
again Raschi is set.

1179
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Here's the pitch, Brackley takes low inside for ball three,

1180
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:38,000
Roy Campanella is on deck, and now Jim Turner comes out of the Yankee dugout

1181
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:44,000
on orders from Casey Stengel and motions for action in the Yankee bullpen,

1182
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:49,000
and it's Fred Sanford getting up.

1183
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:52,000
Just as Raschi takes his stretch, Brackley steps out of the batter's box.

1184
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:57,000
Raschi is perspiring rather freely, the upper portion of his uniform shirt

1185
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,000
absolutely wet.

1186
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,000
Are we ready for the three-one pitch, runners on first and third,

1187
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:07,000
here it is, and it is strike two, call right over.

1188
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:21,000
Brackley started at first and was called back by Hubbard going up with the right hand.

1189
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:26,000
So you've got a full count on Brackley, three and two,

1190
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,000
and with two down Robinson will be playing it safe at third,

1191
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:34,000
that is he'll make sure that the ball is hit somewhere before he starts running.

1192
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:38,000
Gil Hodges who's on first on the other hand and who is forced will be off and running with the pitch.

1193
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:45,000
So the stretch by Raschi, there goes Hodges, the pitch is one-one and he missed strike three.

1194
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,000
How about that?

1195
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:54,000
No runs for Brooklyn, two hits, no errors for the Yankees,

1196
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,000
and two men left on for the Dodgers.

1197
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:05,000
And just as Raschi was on the verge, he recovered in time to strike out Brackley in the clutch.

1198
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:11,000
And so the score at the end of four innings, the Yankees six, the Dodgers one.

1199
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:16,000
Your totals, Yankees six runs, five hits, no errors, five left on,

1200
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:20,000
Brooklyn one run, four hits, one error, and three men left on base.

1201
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:24,000
This is Mel Allen with Red Barber bringing you the World Series from Ebbets Field.

1202
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:31,000
Gene Woodling up, takes a pitch inside for ball one as we go to the top of the fifth inning

1203
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:34,000
where the Yankees leading six to one.

1204
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,000
Woodling walked and singled to center.

1205
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:40,000
Right-hander ready for jacked down the throws, right over for a called strike fastball,

1206
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:43,000
and the count is even up at one and one.

1207
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:51,000
The fans exercising their prerogative are hollering at the umpire.

1208
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:57,000
In comes the pitch, and it's high and outside for ball two, two and one.

1209
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,000
Two balls, one strike.

1210
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,000
The men in blue do a great job.

1211
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:05,000
Without them, baseball wouldn't be what it is.

1212
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:08,000
The two-one delivery on its way.

1213
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,000
Swung on, there's a long drive to right field.

1214
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:11,000
There's Hormanski racing back.

1215
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,000
The ball's off the scoreboard. Gene plays it off.

1216
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,000
Now Snyder comes over to get his.

1217
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:21,000
It rolls away from Gene, and there's Woodling sliding into second with a double.

1218
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:27,000
Gene Woodling lines a double off the scoreboard in right center field.

1219
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:30,000
The rebound got away from Hormanski.

1220
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:33,000
It didn't rebound directly at him, but at an angle,

1221
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:39,000
and Duke Snyder figuring that possibility came racing over from center field to grab the ball,

1222
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,000
but his throw in to second was not in time,

1223
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:51,000
and Woodling is on with a double off the right field scoreboard.

1224
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:54,000
Here's Swift-Mapes.

1225
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:55,000
Left-hand hitter.

1226
01:30:55,000 --> 01:31:01,000
Banda's pitch curve inside ball one.

1227
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:08,000
Mapes struck out and walked.

1228
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:11,000
Woodling's only other hit in this series was a double,

1229
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,000
and it was here at Abbott's Field in almost the same spot.

1230
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:15,000
Banda pitches.

1231
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,000
Mapes takes inside around the knees for ball two.

1232
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:21,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1233
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:22,000
Now the pitch.

1234
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,000
It's butted at for a strike and missed by Mapes.

1235
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,000
That pitch was way outside, but Mapes had his mind made up.

1236
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:29,000
He was going to bunt and did.

1237
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:33,000
That ball was two feet outside.

1238
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,000
So it's a two-one count.

1239
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:38,000
I said a moment ago that Woodling's only other hit in the series was a double.

1240
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:40,000
I meant prior to today.

1241
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:45,000
Today he's had a walk, a single, and a double.

1242
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:47,000
Woodling moves off second, 6-1 New York.

1243
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:50,000
Fifth inning, the pitch is butted out toward the mound.

1244
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:54,000
There is Banda up with it, throws over to Hodges for the out.

1245
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:58,000
Moving to third on the play with Woodling as the sacrifice for Mapes.

1246
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:04,000
As Casey Stengel with a 6-1 lead figures every other run he can get now

1247
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:10,000
means just that much tougher road the Dodgers will have to hold to stay alive in this World Series.

1248
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:13,000
Mapes is out as he bunts down the first base line.

1249
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:17,000
Banda to Hodges.

1250
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:18,000
Here's Jerry Coleman.

1251
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:22,000
Jorgensen moves over from third now to talk to Banda.

1252
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:28,000
The attendance today, 33,711.

1253
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:34,000
Gate receipts $167,165.45.

1254
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:39,000
The players, of course, get their shares out of the first four games.

1255
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:45,000
And it has been estimated that the winning team share will be just a little over $5,000.

1256
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:49,000
And the losing team share just a little over $4,000 per player.

1257
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:51,000
In field, in, in comes the pitch.

1258
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:54,000
Jerry Coleman swings and sends the ground ball to Hodges, gets off his glove.

1259
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:55,000
Here comes Woodling taking the plate.

1260
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,000
The throw is in and not in time.

1261
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:01,000
Woodling scored as Hodges had grabbed the ball, stepped on first to retire Coleman

1262
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:04,000
and almost had the chance for an unusual double play at the plate.

1263
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:09,000
But he threw in a hurry off balance and off to the right of the plate, into the dirt.

1264
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:14,000
It had to be blocked by Campanella and he was at least 5 to 10 feet away from the plate

1265
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:17,000
up the first base line and had no chance to get Woodling.

1266
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:23,000
It was an unusual play with so much happening at once that you couldn't get it all in at one time.

1267
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:28,000
Woodling had come up the line from third but when the ball was hit sharply to Hodges with the infield in,

1268
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,000
Woodling decided not to go.

1269
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:33,000
But when the ball skipped off the glove of Hodges, he came on in.

1270
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:36,000
Now Rashie takes the fastball in for a strike.

1271
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:39,000
The ball skipped off the glove of Hodges, rolled across the foul line.

1272
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:43,000
He grabbed it, stepped on first in time to get Coleman, then threw to the plate trying to get Woodling,

1273
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:45,000
who then decided he ought to run.

1274
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:48,000
Now the pitch, swung on and missed, strike two by Rashie.

1275
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:57,000
So Coleman is out, Hodges unassisted, is credited with a run back in, his third of the ballgame.

1276
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:01,000
The Yankees lead 7-1. Rashie, who walked and singled, on the next pitch,

1277
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:05,000
takes over the outside corner for a call strike three.

1278
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:12,000
One run for the Yankees, one hit, no errors for the Dodgers.

1279
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:19,000
Nobody left on for New York and the score at the end of four and one half innings of play,

1280
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:22,000
New York 7, Brooklyn 1.

1281
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,000
And as we get ready to go into the last half of the fifth inning,

1282
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:35,000
all set to move into the Gillette microphone is Red Barber.

1283
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:41,000
And it's always great to be able to work with a great announcer.

1284
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:45,000
Red, I mean that from the heart and it's always a wonderful pleasure

1285
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:50,000
to be able to associate with you on these World Series broadcasts or any other.

1286
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:54,000
Thank you Mel, and at the two-way street, now Big Rashie trying to nail down the World Series to New York,

1287
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:57,000
makes his first pitch to Campanella a good one for a call strike

1288
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:01,000
as we move along with the last half of the fifth inning.

1289
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:06,000
Big crowd sitting and sort of stirring restlessly.

1290
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:11,000
The Yankees on top of a big score now, 7 to 1, third ball is over for a call strike.

1291
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Nothing in two.

1292
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:15,000
That was a nice one that he spun off.

1293
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:20,000
Rashie on the mound, this is his second appearance, as Mel pointed out to you.

1294
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:23,000
He started the second game, he's coming back with two days rest.

1295
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:27,000
He won 21 ball games, was a strong man on the mound staff for the Yankees,

1296
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:31,000
in case his single out of nothing else than sentiment would give his biggest winner,

1297
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:35,000
who puts the pennant winning game Sunday, an opportunity to go today.

1298
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:38,000
Throw, curve ball outside, ball one.

1299
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:44,000
What we mean by sentiment was that if Stengel had started somebody else and the Yankees had won today,

1300
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:47,000
then Rashie would not get a chance to get even with the Boards.

1301
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:50,000
He was the losing pitcher in game two.

1302
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:54,000
So that's why he drew the assignment today, among other reasons of course.

1303
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:58,000
It may very well be that Stengel felt he was his best possible pitcher anyhow.

1304
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:02,000
Curve outside, and it's ball two. Two balls, two strikes.

1305
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:06,000
Fulabara, who's had to catch through the series with a bruised left thumb,

1306
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:08,000
every one of these pitches hurts him.

1307
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:12,000
That's a jaw there, as that ball settles in that catching mitt.

1308
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:14,000
Barra down to give the sign, big cow Hubbard,

1309
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:17,000
working balls and strikes standing directly behind the receiver.

1310
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:20,000
Here's the right-hander's two-two pitch, fastball swung on and foul,

1311
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:23,000
straight back on the screen and out of play.

1312
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,000
Campanella's up for his second at bat.

1313
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:29,000
Rashie, was just moving along with the efficiency of a well-oiled machine,

1314
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:33,000
and knocking off the first seven batters, so Campanella doubled in the third inning,

1315
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:37,000
and two down, re-singling him over, look from the front.

1316
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:39,000
I feel very much around toward left.

1317
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:41,000
There's a slight breeze that is blowing out toward left,

1318
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:44,000
but it is not a too strong game factor.

1319
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:48,000
Campanella hits a high foul, back out of play again, still two and two.

1320
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,000
As Mel gave you the figures a few moments ago,

1321
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:54,000
it was brought in by the Book of the Ropes Secretary, Hal Park, 33,711.

1322
01:36:54,000 --> 01:37:00,000
Here to see this fifth game of the series, third game of the set at Ebbets Field.

1323
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:03,000
Now let's see, this end of game carries on.

1324
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:05,000
Rashie pitches again, two and two.

1325
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:08,000
Campanella hits a hot fly and drive right at the receiver.

1326
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:11,000
Here's the right-hander's two-two pitch, fastball swung on and foul,

1327
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,000
straight back on the screen, out of play.

1328
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:18,000
Campanella drives on, Rashie pitches again, two and two, Campanella hits a hot fly and drive right at the receiver,

1329
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:23,000
and a fine little trot step, holds it as he dips into the hole between third and short.

1330
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Still, one up, one away, last half of the fifth.

1331
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,000
The Yankee defense has been extremely sound.

1332
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:33,000
Outside of a boop which meant nothing,

1333
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:38,000
The way Raddick was pitching the opening game by Coleman, there have been no other mistakes.

1334
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Now Pinscherter, Tommy Brown, a right-hand batter, is coming up to hit the batter.

1335
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:47,440
Samantha, who has relieved for the last two and the third innings, is out of there.

1336
01:37:47,440 --> 01:37:50,920
And Brown, making his second appearance as a pinch hitter, he's 0-1.

1337
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:54,600
Slender, right-hand hitter, takes a fastball through there for a called strike.

1338
01:37:54,600 --> 01:38:01,120
Rashie, who is primarily our control pitcher, is making his pitches good as early as he

1339
01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:02,600
can on these hitters.

1340
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:06,760
He's pitching with a 6-run lead.

1341
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:10,240
Works curveball too high, and it is 1-1.

1342
01:38:10,240 --> 01:38:11,240
One ball, one strike.

1343
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:16,240
Brown hitting for batter, in the last of the fifth.

1344
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:20,920
Rashie not wasting much time.

1345
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:24,240
Carl Erskine is the only pitcher working the book on both ends, trying to stand our own

1346
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:28,200
so we presume it will be he who will come on to pitch against the top of the Yankee

1347
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:31,040
batting order in the sixth inning.

1348
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:36,920
New York 7, book and one, fastball, swing on, fouled off, and the count now goes 1-2.

1349
01:38:36,920 --> 01:38:41,720
The ball swung back and into the permanent press box, which is suspended from the roof

1350
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:44,640
of these double-back stands here at Ebbets Field.

1351
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:51,600
So one of the members of the Fourth Estate has a World Series souvenir.

1352
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:52,600
One ball, two strikes.

1353
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:56,560
Out to your left.

1354
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:57,560
Infield is straight away.

1355
01:38:57,560 --> 01:39:03,000
That's Henrik, Coleman, Frazzuto, and Brown.

1356
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:04,560
Rashie works 1-2.

1357
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:08,600
First one on and missed, the strike three, so Brown.

1358
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:12,080
They're set down and it's the fifth strikeout for Rashie.

1359
01:39:12,080 --> 01:39:16,360
Well, fires the ball down to third.

1360
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:21,080
Brown trucks over toward the mound, tosses it on the hand now to the pitcher.

1361
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:25,240
Let's see, the outfield moves a step more toward left.

1362
01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:28,120
That's Woodling in left field, who's had a perfect afternoon with a walk, single and

1363
01:39:28,120 --> 01:39:29,120
double.

1364
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:33,200
DiMaggio, and I know that the sentimental heart of the American public was glad to see

1365
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:36,440
him belt one, is in center, and the right fielder's Mates.

1366
01:39:36,440 --> 01:39:40,480
Peewee Reese up, pass ball over for a called strike.

1367
01:39:40,480 --> 01:39:45,160
Peewee leads the Dodgers with the most hits he has far.

1368
01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:46,160
One for two today.

1369
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:47,160
Five for 16 for the series.

1370
01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:54,280
Swings, there's another one, a line drive over third down in left field.

1371
01:39:54,280 --> 01:39:56,800
So Reese is on at first.

1372
01:39:56,800 --> 01:40:02,360
And this fine money player for the Dodgers, ever since he came up in 1940, continues to

1373
01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:07,760
show why people consider him one of the fine shortstop anywhere around.

1374
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:10,200
Line single into left.

1375
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:12,760
And hit number five for Brooklyn.

1376
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:18,640
Jorgensen, the smallish, south-forth swinging third baseman.

1377
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:22,440
Jorgensen is 0 for 2 today and is 2 for 11 in the series.

1378
01:40:22,440 --> 01:40:25,000
Rashie pitches, pass ball, swung on, trickled up toward first.

1379
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:28,800
Henry comes on, picks up the ball, and steps on the bag for the third out.

1380
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:31,920
So that ends Madison, the last of the defending.

1381
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:33,720
No runs, one hit.

1382
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,920
Well, the check are five inning totals.

1383
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:38,200
For the Yankees, seven runs.

1384
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:40,720
They're all official miscorded earned.

1385
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:44,160
A half a dozen hits into New York and errorless defense.

1386
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:45,880
Far for the Dodgers, one run.

1387
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:47,560
Off Rashie, which is earned.

1388
01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:50,120
Five hits, which have been pretty well scattered.

1389
01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:54,000
And for the Dodgers, one error, which was Barney's throwing error in the first inning.

1390
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,120
Barney was wild at the bell.

1391
01:40:56,120 --> 01:41:01,220
And that wildness so far has been the turning point of the ball game.

1392
01:41:01,220 --> 01:41:04,640
He walked the first two hitters and then in throwing high to second base on a pickoff

1393
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:07,000
play, moved them over an extra notch.

1394
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:13,080
Well, that's the Brooklyn Dodgers and Barney over saluting now the commissioner and Governor

1395
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:19,720
Dewey and playing the either-or-the-odder fellow.

1396
01:41:19,720 --> 01:41:25,600
Speaking about the runs being officially scored as earned a moment ago, we'd like to comment

1397
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:29,640
that the work of the three official scorers, as appointed by Commissioner Chandler, has

1398
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:32,400
been very sound and very short.

1399
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:38,120
The official scorers are Roscoe McGard of the New York Times, Milton Gross of the New

1400
01:41:38,120 --> 01:41:44,360
York Post, and Lou Ness of the Brooklyn Eagles.

1401
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:48,440
Erskine has been officially announced and is out on the mound.

1402
01:41:48,440 --> 01:41:54,840
Warming up his right arm, prior to taking over, E-R-S-K-I-N-E.

1403
01:41:54,840 --> 01:42:00,280
And now Erskine, he'll be pitching to Rizzuto, who's had a perfectly grand series, but kept

1404
01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:04,440
a splendid year all season long in the American League.

1405
01:42:04,440 --> 01:42:10,000
A little short stop, he's only been up officially once so far this afternoon.

1406
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:11,200
That was a fly ball to set a field.

1407
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:17,400
He walked to begin the ball game, which was as pivotal a play as you can get.

1408
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:21,480
Then he got this sacrifice in the second inning when he was bunting, presumably for a base

1409
01:42:21,480 --> 01:42:23,000
hit but still moved a man over.

1410
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:27,520
So therefore he was officially scored as a sacrificer.

1411
01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:30,240
He has three hits for 16 official at bats.

1412
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:37,240
He's a tough target, he has good eyes, very quick with his wrists, and he is small, just

1413
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:39,240
a little bit over five feet.

1414
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:45,680
In fact, when you see him in street clothes walking around with these athletes, you figure,

1415
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:50,160
well, see, that must be the bat boy.

1416
01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:55,160
Then Rizzuto, who can play this game with just as big fellows as they come.

1417
01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:58,960
Erskine makes his first pitch of fastball in under the hands of all one.

1418
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:02,040
He said that Erskine was the smallest right-hander.

1419
01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:06,060
Well, of course, he's a pretty good-sized fellow compared to Rizzuto, pretty small as

1420
01:43:06,060 --> 01:43:07,840
pitches usually go.

1421
01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:12,800
Delivers fastball inside, and Rizzuto, who had stood up to it, apparently had his mind

1422
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:17,360
set for a curve or something, had suddenly backtracked there at the last split second.

1423
01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:21,600
Two and all, Hatfield shaded toward left.

1424
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:24,040
Third baseman Jorgensen is off the back, suspicious of a bat.

1425
01:43:24,040 --> 01:43:26,640
Hodges is a couple of steps up at first.

1426
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:28,440
Robinson up at second.

1427
01:43:28,440 --> 01:43:30,440
Fastball in under the hands for ball three.

1428
01:43:30,440 --> 01:43:34,000
So Rizzuto is in the catbird seat now as far as the count is concerned.

1429
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:37,000
Three and all.

1430
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:43,440
The Yankees out in front, seven to one.

1431
01:43:43,440 --> 01:43:47,600
Rizzuto, who started in two and two-thirds innings, walked six men.

1432
01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:54,160
Didn't take many hits to capitalize, and a bushel basket full of runs.

1433
01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:57,280
Throw, missing for ball four.

1434
01:43:57,280 --> 01:43:58,640
So Erskine gives up the walk.

1435
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:03,320
This is the seventh Yankee to get a free ticket.

1436
01:44:03,320 --> 01:44:08,320
Rizzuto for the second time is walked, and he's at first, and here is Tommy Henrik.

1437
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:12,520
Infield up halfway, Henrik runs up his own with bunt and takes, and it's a called strike.

1438
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:16,160
Goes that big right hand, even bigger, Carroll Hubbard.

1439
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:23,760
Hubbard back of the plate, ridden at first base at second pass, Jorla at third in the

1440
01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:27,040
foul corner, Bar in left, and Hurley in right.

1441
01:44:27,040 --> 01:44:28,040
Erskine in position, checks first.

1442
01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:29,040
There goes Rizzuto.

1443
01:44:29,040 --> 01:44:31,560
There's a curve ball, chopped into right field, a hit-and-run play.

1444
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:34,200
Rizzuto wheels right around, second comes on into third.

1445
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:38,200
Brackley wheels, throws into second base, a shortstop race, and it's a hit-and-run single

1446
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:40,240
into left field for Henrik.

1447
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:44,720
So Erskine has no sooner come on, and he's drawn a couple of tortors, a base on balls

1448
01:44:44,720 --> 01:44:46,160
and a single.

1449
01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:53,120
And Yogi Barrett, who is 0 for 3 today, in a crouch, swings and drops the ball foul into

1450
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:55,480
The right field corner.

1451
01:44:55,480 --> 01:44:56,800
He really swings that wood.

1452
01:44:56,800 --> 01:44:59,920
When he first came up to the Yankees, they didn't know where in the world they were going

1453
01:44:59,920 --> 01:45:00,920
to play him.

1454
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:03,560
Whether they were going to catch it, play him in the outfield or just what.

1455
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,960
But they knew they were going to play him, or as Bucky Harris said a couple of years

1456
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:11,080
ago, anybody who can swing that bat's going to be out there playing.

1457
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:14,680
Swing it the way he swings it, and he swings it.

1458
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:16,840
Infield is up, hoping for a play at the plate.

1459
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:20,400
The Yankees leading 7-1 and pressing forward here in the sixth inning.

1460
01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:21,720
Nobody out, men at first and third.

1461
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:24,040
There's a fly ball into left field.

1462
01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:25,720
Brackley is going back underneath it.

1463
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:26,720
Rizzuto tags to third.

1464
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:27,720
There's the catch and deep left.

1465
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:31,000
The throw goes to second, conceding the run and holding Henrik to run it first to first

1466
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:32,000
base.

1467
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:41,680
So, four New York now, 8-1, and Berra bats in the run with a long fly ball to left field.

1468
01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:45,760
The Yankees have now scored in five of the sixth innings in which they have come up to

1469
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:47,840
The plate.

1470
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:50,960
And Big DiMaggio gets a big hand.

1471
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:52,120
Joe Fanle hit one.

1472
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:54,480
I know he must feel emergently better.

1473
01:45:54,480 --> 01:45:59,520
He hit that home run in the left field corner in the fourth inning.

1474
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:02,400
His second series hit and his first real solid hit.

1475
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:04,440
The other was a squibbit up toward third.

1476
01:46:04,440 --> 01:46:06,440
At field toward left.

1477
01:46:06,440 --> 01:46:08,840
Joe swings as a high pop fly on the short right.

1478
01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:10,440
Second baseman Robinson is out.

1479
01:46:10,440 --> 01:46:13,280
Under it, under it, and takes it.

1480
01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:14,960
Henrik holding on it first.

1481
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:17,280
Two men are gone.

1482
01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:20,960
And Tommy Brown who continues to play great ball in the World Series.

1483
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:22,840
Let him get in the series.

1484
01:46:22,840 --> 01:46:26,440
And he almost takes over the show.

1485
01:46:26,440 --> 01:46:30,080
Henrik at first, ready to set sail.

1486
01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:31,400
Vicki coaching at first base.

1487
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:33,160
Frankie Crisetti at third.

1488
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:34,520
In field is now all in shadow.

1489
01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:36,080
So is left field.

1490
01:46:36,080 --> 01:46:40,200
Center field and right field still have sun.

1491
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:41,200
Erskine delivers.

1492
01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:42,200
Terps swung on.

1493
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:43,200
Drilled in the right field.

1494
01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:46,000
It is fair by about a yard in the corner.

1495
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:47,480
And here is Henrik wheeling in the third.

1496
01:46:47,480 --> 01:46:48,480
The ball gets away from Ormanski.

1497
01:46:48,480 --> 01:46:50,480
Henrik is being waved on in by Crisetti.

1498
01:46:50,480 --> 01:46:52,320
The throw is being relayed by Robinson.

1499
01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:53,920
Henrik comes on to score.

1500
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:54,920
And two-third goes down.

1501
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:56,680
The ball gets away from Campanella.

1502
01:46:56,680 --> 01:46:59,600
And here is Brown coming on in to score.

1503
01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:00,600
Standing up at the plate.

1504
01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:05,760
Throw that will probably be scored as a triple and an error.

1505
01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:10,520
The high bouncing throw from right field to Ormanski got off the leaping form of the catcher

1506
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:12,720
Campanella and went back to the stands.

1507
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:17,680
It could be scored as a double as the throw in and as an error or a triple and an error.

1508
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:22,160
However, it's a run batted in by Brown down into the right field corner.

1509
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:23,440
Gives him another one.

1510
01:47:23,440 --> 01:47:26,840
The Yankees get two more runs over to go out and clutch ten to one.

1511
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:30,400
And Clyde Souffport begins that slow death march out to the mound.

1512
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:35,320
He is the fellow that takes the news after the producer manages the shot.

1513
01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:37,400
That is scored as a three-bagger.

1514
01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:43,240
And the error is being charged against second baseman Robinson on his relay.

1515
01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:47,920
Told you that Robinson relayed the throw and I think a moment later I hastily said that

1516
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:51,160
The right fielder's throw bounced high over the catcher.

1517
01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:55,320
It was Robinson's relay and Robinson is charged with the error.

1518
01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:56,720
That is a triple for Brown.

1519
01:47:56,720 --> 01:47:57,720
That's all for Erskine.

1520
01:47:57,720 --> 01:48:00,080
He's out of there and here's Hatton coming on for the second straight day.

1521
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:01,960
A triple for Brown.

1522
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:03,360
That's the second time he's tripled.

1523
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:08,960
Well, I guess Hatton knows Erskine field because Brown tripled off Hatton yesterday.

1524
01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:12,600
Brown a three-bagger on the right field corner and never stops running on the concomitant

1525
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:21,640
error which is charged against the second baseman Brown score.

1526
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:25,600
The announcement has now been made and Hatton is officially the pitcher and Erskine vacates

1527
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:29,720
The mound for him.

1528
01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:39,320
Tommy Henrik is scored officially as coming all the way in of course on the three-bagger.

1529
01:48:39,320 --> 01:48:44,160
Now leaving the Brooklyn dugout going down to the bullpen is Erskine Polika.

1530
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:45,600
Hatton takes over on the mound.

1531
01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:52,640
It is 10 to 1 in favor of the rampaging Yankees and Casey Stengel himself seems to be visibly

1532
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:54,480
relaxed down there in the Yankee dugout.

1533
01:48:54,480 --> 01:48:58,920
I don't think he's particularly concerned now about events.

1534
01:48:58,920 --> 01:48:59,920
He's got a lot of pitches.

1535
01:48:59,920 --> 01:49:02,280
Firstly, one guy named Joe plays down the bullpen.

1536
01:49:02,280 --> 01:49:07,640
Of course, he's got one that's going very well on the mound and the percentages are

1537
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:12,920
just packing up higher and higher with the American League champions.

1538
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:19,920
They're leading now by an aggregate score of 10 to 1.

1539
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:23,360
Now Hatton's about ready to go and the batter that he will pitch to is the left-hand hitting

1540
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:28,840
left fielder Gene Woodling who's had a perfect afternoon and with this huge margin Stengel

1541
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:34,360
is not making the reverse by pinch hitting with the right-hand batter.

1542
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:37,560
Hatton throws fastball in there for a called strike.

1543
01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:42,680
So running on, the first nine runs for the Yankees ought to be scored as earned.

1544
01:49:42,680 --> 01:49:45,760
Well, the tenth one is to be scored as earned and that remains to be seen.

1545
01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:48,760
The error was not of the outmaking variety.

1546
01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:53,480
Pitch curveball low, one and one.

1547
01:49:53,480 --> 01:49:57,640
Woodling who walked in the first inning, singled in the center in the third and doubled in

1548
01:49:57,640 --> 01:49:58,640
The fifth.

1549
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:04,160
He scored two runs.

1550
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:06,320
Three hits for eight official at bats.

1551
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:08,280
Ball is in under the hands and it is two and one.

1552
01:50:08,280 --> 01:50:13,160
Two balls, one strike.

1553
01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:17,360
The Yankees of course leading in game three to one and leading in runs and this one with

1554
01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:20,960
The Dodgers, Dormey, ten runs to one.

1555
01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:24,840
Two on pitch, swung on, there's a drive into left center field.

1556
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:28,040
She's in there for a base hit and passed correctly, at least for a double.

1557
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:32,360
Here's Woodling coming in to second standing up to continue his bid for a perfect afternoon

1558
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:35,920
and this makes all ten of the Yankee runs earned.

1559
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:42,720
So a solid line drive double for Woodling which gives him three for three.

1560
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:47,560
His third hit is hit charged to Hatton of course.

1561
01:50:47,560 --> 01:50:52,480
The Yankee runs the first five charged to start a bonny, the next two to batter, the

1562
01:50:52,480 --> 01:50:53,960
next three to Erskine.

1563
01:50:53,960 --> 01:51:02,280
Hatton of course is completely responsible for Woodling in second base.

1564
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:08,000
Joseph Mapes who is 0 for 1 officially, 1 for 8 in the series left hand batter, 1 for

1565
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:13,400
8 in the series left hand batter, takes a high inside curve for ball one.

1566
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:19,640
His base hit yesterday was a very big one for New York with the ball game standing even.

1567
01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:22,800
He sliced a double in the left field corner, knocked in the first two runs and the Yankees

1568
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:23,800
were never headed.

1569
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:28,640
Fung on a high fly ball into short left, Brackley comes in, the left field is under it, backs

1570
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:31,960
up, makes the cut.

1571
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:37,960
So that closes matters in the top of the sixth inning and the Yankees pick up three more

1572
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:41,480
runs, three more hits.

1573
01:51:41,480 --> 01:51:46,320
There's one booked for Marrow and at the end of five and a half innings the score stands

1574
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:48,920
now in New York 10 and Brooklyn 1.

1575
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:53,600
Lou Boudreaux of the Cleveland Indians says that he'd rather go without his morning coffee

1576
01:51:53,600 --> 01:51:55,160
than passive shaving.

1577
01:51:55,160 --> 01:52:00,320
Yes, Lou uses Gillette's super speed razor and here he is to tell you why.

1578
01:52:00,320 --> 01:52:03,960
Well, fans, that's because it makes shaving something to look forward to.

1579
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:04,960
And what way, Lou?

1580
01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:07,320
Well, red shaving is no longer a chore.

1581
01:52:07,320 --> 01:52:10,640
It picks me up, gives me a feeling of well-being.

1582
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:13,440
In fact, it's as important as breakfast to me.

1583
01:52:13,440 --> 01:52:15,960
Well, you don't mean that you'd rather shave than eat, do you?

1584
01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:19,880
Oh, no, but I just don't feel right until I do shave.

1585
01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:24,680
Fans, with the Gillette super speed razor, shaving is a refreshing experience and far

1586
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:26,720
more convenient than ever.

1587
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:32,440
Look for Gillette's special World Series set, get this fine one piece razor and a 10 blade

1588
01:52:32,440 --> 01:52:43,320
Gillette dispenser in a handsome styrene travel cape, a big $1.75 value for only a dollar.

1589
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:47,880
Last half of the sixth inning, the Yankees 10, the Dodgers 1.

1590
01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:52,840
Well, to be perfectly factual about it, if Brooklyn can pull this one out today, this

1591
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:59,800
is going to be an explosion that will be topped pretty much only by several of atomic origin.

1592
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:07,360
Hello, this is an unpredictable ball club, a dead game ball club, and it's a ball park

1593
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:11,600
that is fated for the unexpected.

1594
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:14,960
That's almost taken for granted around the Diggins and Pat Bush.

1595
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:16,360
So let's hold on and see.

1596
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:18,600
Duke Snyder, first half last of the sixth.

1597
01:53:18,600 --> 01:53:20,400
Right-hander rashie pitches and Snyder swings.

1598
01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:24,320
That's the ball out deep into let's set a field and it's in there for a base hit, comes

1599
01:53:24,320 --> 01:53:28,440
off the wall, Snyder's coming in the second base, Woodling throws in and it's a double

1600
01:53:28,440 --> 01:53:29,440
for Snyder.

1601
01:53:29,440 --> 01:53:34,640
The ball gets through from Coleman, but rashie backs up the play and Snyder is content to

1602
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:37,640
stay a second, lashing out to the double.

1603
01:53:37,640 --> 01:53:40,640
So the Duke movement is swinging away.

1604
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:44,440
Let's double, let's see alleyway and let's set a field.

1605
01:53:44,440 --> 01:53:47,040
This gives him his second World Series hit.

1606
01:53:47,040 --> 01:53:50,360
This is hit number six this afternoon off rashie.

1607
01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:58,320
The Dodgers trailing by nine runs have only two alternatives as they say in baseball.

1608
01:53:58,320 --> 01:54:00,200
You swing or you take.

1609
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:04,640
In other words, you swing to hit and you take to try and get a base on ball.

1610
01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:12,160
10 to one New York, rashie is the uniformed straight now becoming sweat stained as he's

1611
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:14,080
been twirling steadily along.

1612
01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:21,960
The right hander Robinson who is one for two today, backs out as rashie gets all set time

1613
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:24,360
is called.

1614
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:29,000
Robinson has three hits for 14 at bats.

1615
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:33,240
At field toward left, Jack runs up his own with Brunson takes a pitch inside for ball

1616
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:34,240
one.

1617
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:38,680
Snyder second and of course Ruth Line run the bases conservatively.

1618
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:41,440
Manager Stengel steps to the front of the dugout and says look out for the bun again.

1619
01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:48,760
The pitch fastball that is outside just by a tick for ball two.

1620
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:52,480
Rashie trying to keep control of the situation with a nine run lead delivers in there for

1621
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:53,480
a call strike.

1622
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:55,920
He hasn't been fooling with his curve so much.

1623
01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:58,640
He's been primarily a fastball pitcher this afternoon.

1624
01:54:58,640 --> 01:55:03,520
Two holes one strike.

1625
01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:04,520
Robinson swinging.

1626
01:55:04,520 --> 01:55:15,600
Two and two.

1627
01:55:15,600 --> 01:55:19,600
Snyder not only came up with a base hit for himself in the sixth inning which will help

1628
01:55:19,600 --> 01:55:26,000
his feelings emergibly but by getting a base hit he saw to it that he didn't strike out.

1629
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:31,360
He's only one strike out away from tying the record for a batter striking out the most

1630
01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:32,360
in the five game series.

1631
01:55:32,360 --> 01:55:36,280
Roger Hornsby struck out eight times in 1829.

1632
01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:38,600
Robinson takes a curve outside for ball three.

1633
01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:40,600
Three balls two strikes.

1634
01:55:40,600 --> 01:55:46,440
Snyder struck out seven times in the series.

1635
01:55:46,440 --> 01:55:47,440
Three and two.

1636
01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:49,680
That's the ball and strike count.

1637
01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:53,760
One out last for the sixth.

1638
01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:56,640
Rashie pitching with a little bit more deliberation now.

1639
01:55:56,640 --> 01:56:00,360
He's probably beginning to get tired.

1640
01:56:00,360 --> 01:56:04,040
Come back after two days rest.

1641
01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:06,680
Big right hander throws outside for ball four.

1642
01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:11,480
Ann Robinson achieves his objective getting on base based on balls which is the first

1643
01:56:11,480 --> 01:56:13,800
given up by Rashie.

1644
01:56:13,800 --> 01:56:17,560
Hand pitching coach Jim Turner steps to the front of the Yankee dugout and motions to

1645
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:19,360
The Yankee bullpen with his left hand.

1646
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:21,680
What do you think that means?

1647
01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:24,680
Only one thing Joe Page.

1648
01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:29,720
There's Big Page starting to warm up and he knows how to warm up.

1649
01:56:29,720 --> 01:56:33,520
He doesn't leave any of his pitches out on the bullpen.

1650
01:56:33,520 --> 01:56:38,440
Well the Yankees want to end it.

1651
01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:39,440
There it is.

1652
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:40,600
Page throwing in the bullpen.

1653
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:42,040
The Yankees leading 10 to 1.

1654
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:45,360
The matter is Gene Hermanski at the plate.

1655
01:56:45,360 --> 01:56:49,360
Swings and falls the ball out of play back on the screen.

1656
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:53,200
Nothing in one.

1657
01:56:53,200 --> 01:56:55,320
Big Rashie takes the sign from Stocky Beller.

1658
01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:56,320
Pitches.

1659
01:56:56,320 --> 01:56:58,320
There's a bounding ball hit through between first and second.

1660
01:56:58,320 --> 01:56:59,920
The Yankees are in the right field.

1661
01:56:59,920 --> 01:57:00,920
Matter being waved by Stack around third.

1662
01:57:00,920 --> 01:57:04,640
It comes on in the score and when the ball is bobbled in right field by Mates Robinson

1663
01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:07,320
who has stopped at second picks up both to third.

1664
01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:10,320
Hermanski holds his first.

1665
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:15,440
That makes it a 10 to 2 ball game and an hour is charged on Mates in right field.

1666
01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:18,920
You can't bobble at balls for so much as a swift second on Robinson.

1667
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:22,120
His reflexes are amazingly rapid.

1668
01:57:22,120 --> 01:57:25,240
So Hermanski singles in to right.

1669
01:57:25,240 --> 01:57:29,520
Dodges, if nothing else, are going to worry the Yankees and Stengel as much as they can.

1670
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:33,720
They got Stengel up in front of the dugout howling now.

1671
01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:37,360
Robinson stops at second, moves over to third on right field.

1672
01:57:37,360 --> 01:57:38,360
The Mates is missed too.

1673
01:57:38,360 --> 01:57:39,360
Snyder scores of course.

1674
01:57:39,360 --> 01:57:49,640
Up now is Gil Hodges who singled his last 50.

1675
01:57:49,640 --> 01:57:50,640
He's 1 to 2 today.

1676
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:51,640
He has 3 hits to 14.

1677
01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:52,640
Out to Alonso on left.

1678
01:57:52,640 --> 01:57:55,560
10 to 2 ball game for New York.

1679
01:57:55,560 --> 01:57:56,560
Nobody else.

1680
01:57:56,560 --> 01:58:00,000
Slow curve is over for a called strike.

1681
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:04,560
And Page is warming up from the Yankee both end.

1682
01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:05,560
You watch him warm up.

1683
01:58:05,560 --> 01:58:10,440
You would think he was being very lackadaisical, very unconcerned.

1684
01:58:10,440 --> 01:58:15,120
It's a part of his ability to do so much work.

1685
01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:19,240
He just gets sort of loose down there and he gets right on the edge of where he's ready

1686
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:24,600
to throw hard and then he takes them out.

1687
01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:26,160
Robinson off there in.

1688
01:58:26,160 --> 01:58:27,160
Manskill first.

1689
01:58:27,160 --> 01:58:29,840
The Yankee in field is up only one or two steps in double play depth.

1690
01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:31,320
The outfield toward left.

1691
01:58:31,320 --> 01:58:32,320
Rash your pitcher.

1692
01:58:32,320 --> 01:58:33,320
The curve is one on the miss.

1693
01:58:33,320 --> 01:58:34,320
Strike two.

1694
01:58:34,320 --> 01:58:38,640
He's spun a big slow breaking curve over.

1695
01:58:38,640 --> 01:58:40,360
Broke it off very nicely.

1696
01:58:40,360 --> 01:58:43,160
Nothing in two.

1697
01:58:43,160 --> 01:58:45,680
The Yankees 10 to the Dodgers 2.

1698
01:58:45,680 --> 01:58:51,160
There's a lot left to happen in this ball game.

1699
01:58:51,160 --> 01:59:03,320
You let folks might happen to send it to you wherever you are, wherever you happen to be.

1700
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:04,600
Pudge is leaning in slightly.

1701
01:59:04,600 --> 01:59:05,600
Rash your pitchers.

1702
01:59:05,600 --> 01:59:06,600
Curve low outside.

1703
01:59:06,600 --> 01:59:09,520
The borough goes down nicely to his right to hold the ball up.

1704
01:59:09,520 --> 01:59:15,200
One ball, two strikes.

1705
01:59:15,200 --> 01:59:17,880
One and two.

1706
01:59:17,880 --> 01:59:27,080
Before the ball game, we had a talk with Billy Southwest and we're very happy to tell you

1707
01:59:27,080 --> 01:59:29,000
that he feels fine.

1708
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:30,000
He looks fine.

1709
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:35,000
He's all set to resume the managership of the Boston Braves next year.

1710
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:37,000
He was pretty sick.

1711
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:41,680
He's gone as far as he could go.

1712
01:59:41,680 --> 01:59:45,400
The one and two pitch, curve's one on the miss, strike three on Hodges.

1713
01:59:45,400 --> 01:59:47,520
He's stuck out on big breaking stuff.

1714
01:59:47,520 --> 01:59:53,920
This is the sixth strikeout for Rashie.

1715
01:59:53,920 --> 02:00:03,880
Rashie's struck out in eight innings, four men in game two.

1716
02:00:03,880 --> 02:00:07,520
Rashie apparently found that his hands were perspiring a great deal and Stengel held up

1717
02:00:07,520 --> 02:00:10,080
a towel over him to dug out.

1718
02:00:10,080 --> 02:00:11,840
But Rashie said, well, I don't want it.

1719
02:00:11,840 --> 02:00:13,440
So he's gone back to the mound.

1720
02:00:13,440 --> 02:00:18,200
Henry could come over from first base to visit with him, goes back to first.

1721
02:00:18,200 --> 02:00:20,200
Manski first base, Robinson at third.

1722
02:00:20,200 --> 02:00:21,200
Those are the two runners.

1723
02:00:21,200 --> 02:00:22,200
One man out.

1724
02:00:22,200 --> 02:00:24,480
The batter is Marvin Radcliffe, who was 0-2 both times he's been up.

1725
02:00:24,480 --> 02:00:25,480
He's struck out.

1726
02:00:25,480 --> 02:00:26,480
He's 0-4 on the series.

1727
02:00:26,480 --> 02:00:28,480
Works well up on the hand a little bit.

1728
02:00:28,480 --> 02:00:29,480
Small left hand hitter.

1729
02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:32,600
Swings on a curve, hits it down to first base.

1730
02:00:32,600 --> 02:00:34,920
Henry got and drops the runners.

1731
02:00:34,920 --> 02:00:37,680
Let's see, Russ Radcliffe back, steps on first for the out.

1732
02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:39,520
On Radcliffe, he holds Radcliffe at third base.

1733
02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:41,120
Manski moves on to second.

1734
02:00:41,120 --> 02:00:46,880
Jack, of course, in other words, had the one run meant anything, I think he'd have tried.

1735
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:50,080
But of course, when you're eight runs behind, you don't risk it out.

1736
02:00:50,080 --> 02:00:55,680
So Henry just waved his arm menacingly once and Robinson obligingly dotted back into third

1737
02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:56,680
base.

1738
02:00:56,680 --> 02:00:57,680
Manski moved over to second.

1739
02:00:57,680 --> 02:01:01,840
So Radcliffe is just out routine to the first baseman.

1740
02:01:01,840 --> 02:01:02,840
On the system.

1741
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:04,560
That's the second out.

1742
02:01:04,560 --> 02:01:13,320
Roy Campanella, who has had a fine series, who kept a very solid season.

1743
02:01:13,320 --> 02:01:19,920
Campanella, who is one for two, four hits for 14 at bats.

1744
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:20,920
Right hand batter.

1745
02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:21,920
First base is open.

1746
02:01:21,920 --> 02:01:24,640
There's two out there pitching to him.

1747
02:01:24,640 --> 02:01:27,560
That eight run advantage lets you do it the way you want to do it.

1748
02:01:27,560 --> 02:01:30,840
Yankees leading 10 to two.

1749
02:01:30,840 --> 02:01:33,360
Last is the sixth.

1750
02:01:33,360 --> 02:01:35,160
Rashie takes a long time getting the sign.

1751
02:01:35,160 --> 02:01:37,280
Pumps watch pitches a curve ball in there.

1752
02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:40,440
Ball strike.

1753
02:01:40,440 --> 02:01:42,800
Rashie settle down, get the last two outs.

1754
02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:46,000
So Paige is promptly sloughed off.

1755
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:48,000
Throw, curve ball low outside.

1756
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:49,000
Ball one.

1757
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:51,000
On ball one, strike.

1758
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:55,600
Rashie apparently feeling that being tired, that he's losing something on his fast ball

1759
02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:57,800
is going to his curve more and more.

1760
02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:08,160
In case you're tangled, moving around, hollering at Rashie and Vic nods, uh-huh.

1761
02:02:08,160 --> 02:02:11,560
The pitchers, the fast ball in there for a call second strike.

1762
02:02:11,560 --> 02:02:12,560
One and two.

1763
02:02:12,560 --> 02:02:18,040
One ball, two strikes.

1764
02:02:18,040 --> 02:02:19,040
Simonson at third.

1765
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:21,320
A long run down just then.

1766
02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:29,280
Just gets second.

1767
02:02:29,280 --> 02:02:32,440
I feel very much around toward left.

1768
02:02:32,440 --> 02:02:36,400
Campanella, stocky, strong, open stance.

1769
02:02:36,400 --> 02:02:37,400
Takes an outside curve.

1770
02:02:37,400 --> 02:02:38,400
It's down into the dirt.

1771
02:02:38,400 --> 02:02:40,000
Gets away from Barrow who picks up the ball.

1772
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:41,200
Throws down to third base.

1773
02:02:41,200 --> 02:02:42,720
Robertson just this slide back.

1774
02:02:42,720 --> 02:02:45,100
It was a bang, bang play.

1775
02:02:45,100 --> 02:02:48,240
That ball hit into the dirt and spun out of Barrow's mid.

1776
02:02:48,240 --> 02:02:52,080
It looked as though it might be getting ready to be a wild pitch when Barrow promptly recovered

1777
02:02:52,080 --> 02:02:53,080
it on the first bounce.

1778
02:02:53,080 --> 02:02:57,240
And Robertson, who immediately started toward home plate when he saw the ball hit the ground,

1779
02:02:57,240 --> 02:02:59,720
was hard pressed to get back as Barrow recovered.

1780
02:02:59,720 --> 02:03:02,000
He lost his mitt in the process, but he didn't bother to pick it up.

1781
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:08,600
He just picked up the ball and fired it down to third.

1782
02:03:08,600 --> 02:03:12,760
Two balls, two strikes.

1783
02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:16,560
Page resumes throwing once in a while leisurely in the Yankee bullpen.

1784
02:03:16,560 --> 02:03:19,920
The two-two pitch is a curve all over too hard.

1785
02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:22,200
So it is three and two.

1786
02:03:22,200 --> 02:03:27,800
Three balls, two strikes.

1787
02:03:27,800 --> 02:03:36,480
Last of the six spinning.

1788
02:03:36,480 --> 02:03:38,800
Ball game is now two hours old.

1789
02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:39,800
Rashi pumps.

1790
02:03:39,800 --> 02:03:41,920
Delivers three-two, a curve outside the ball.

1791
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:42,920
Four and Campanella walks.

1792
02:03:42,920 --> 02:03:46,480
It's low for the bases.

1793
02:03:46,480 --> 02:03:49,600
And Billy Cox is coming up as a pinch hitter.

1794
02:03:49,600 --> 02:03:51,600
Billy Cox who pinch hit a dribble single.

1795
02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:55,040
I thought of that in front of the plate yesterday.

1796
02:03:55,040 --> 02:03:56,880
Cox taking over for Joe Hatton.

1797
02:03:56,880 --> 02:03:59,880
Can you hear him please?

1798
02:03:59,880 --> 02:04:02,880
Paul Brooklyn, number three.

1799
02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:09,200
Billy Cox batting for Joe Hatton.

1800
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:11,000
So Cox coming up to hit.

1801
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:13,160
The bases are FOB, they are full of Brooklands.

1802
02:04:13,160 --> 02:04:16,080
As the saying goes around the neck of the woods.

1803
02:04:16,080 --> 02:04:20,680
Three-man on, two out.

1804
02:04:20,680 --> 02:04:26,080
The Yankees ten, the Dodgers two.

1805
02:04:26,080 --> 02:04:32,840
Felika, the only pitcher throwing in the Brooklyn bullpen.

1806
02:04:32,840 --> 02:04:37,880
So we'll see him in the seventh inning.

1807
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:41,240
Rashi now trying to settle matters in the six pitches.

1808
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:42,960
Misses with the fastball in under the hands.

1809
02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:43,960
Four ball one.

1810
02:04:43,960 --> 02:04:44,960
One ball, no strike.

1811
02:04:44,960 --> 02:04:49,120
Big right hander has a very easy move.

1812
02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:52,680
He's centering his attentions on the hitter.

1813
02:04:52,680 --> 02:04:55,360
Pinch hitter Billy Cox, slight right hand batter.

1814
02:04:55,360 --> 02:04:56,360
Swings and misses.

1815
02:04:56,360 --> 02:04:58,240
That is a sharp curve ball.

1816
02:04:58,240 --> 02:04:59,240
One and one.

1817
02:04:59,240 --> 02:05:02,600
One ball, one strike.

1818
02:05:02,600 --> 02:05:06,160
Cox had the regular job at third until he sprained an ankle in the morning game Labor

1819
02:05:06,160 --> 02:05:07,160
Day.

1820
02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:12,880
And didn't play at all until yesterday.

1821
02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:14,360
He got in the ball game and finished it.

1822
02:05:14,360 --> 02:05:17,680
Twenty-one pitch, swung on, there's a foul ball.

1823
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:18,680
Back out of play.

1824
02:05:18,680 --> 02:05:19,680
One and two.

1825
02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:22,080
The ball takes a new ball.

1826
02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:26,800
Ask for time, walks out to the mound.

1827
02:05:26,800 --> 02:05:33,400
One and two, ball and strike count.

1828
02:05:33,400 --> 02:05:40,600
Rashi who lost that brilliant ball game to Pichiro in two at the stadium.

1829
02:05:40,600 --> 02:05:44,440
Now trying to hang on.

1830
02:05:44,440 --> 02:05:48,720
Page and Silberon have stopped their work down the Yankee bullpen.

1831
02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:50,520
They're looking on, along with everybody else.

1832
02:05:50,520 --> 02:05:53,240
The pitch here is a curve behind side of the ball too.

1833
02:05:53,240 --> 02:05:59,800
Two and two.

1834
02:05:59,800 --> 02:06:05,600
Cox swings from the end.

1835
02:06:05,600 --> 02:06:12,680
Rashi in no hurry.

1836
02:06:12,680 --> 02:06:18,440
He's got a long weather ahead of him.

1837
02:06:18,440 --> 02:06:19,440
The two-two pitch.

1838
02:06:19,440 --> 02:06:20,440
Swung on to this, fastball high, strike three.

1839
02:06:20,440 --> 02:06:21,440
He couldn't lay off it.

1840
02:06:21,440 --> 02:06:22,440
High inside fastball.

1841
02:06:22,440 --> 02:06:30,320
It is one of the pitch's best friends at seven strikeouts for Rashi.

1842
02:06:30,320 --> 02:06:35,200
So it is one run in the last half of the sixth inning.

1843
02:06:35,200 --> 02:06:36,680
Two hits to the three men left.

1844
02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:43,000
So the totals at the end of the sixth inning for the Yankees, ten runs are all earned.

1845
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:44,840
Ten hits and one error.

1846
02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:49,080
For the Dodgers, two runs earned, seven hits and two errors.

1847
02:06:49,080 --> 02:06:54,080
Now the Dodgers had an agreement that there was total cold water.

1848
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:57,800
Flakers being announced with the pitcher to come on in the seventh inning.

1849
02:06:57,800 --> 02:07:01,480
And the Yankees at the end of sixth are out in front, ten to two.

1850
02:07:01,480 --> 02:07:05,240
And on our broadcast with the best wishes of the Gillette's Safe to Raise the Folks,

1851
02:07:05,240 --> 02:07:08,480
we'll pause ten seconds for our state's identification.

1852
02:07:08,480 --> 02:07:12,400
This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

1853
02:07:12,400 --> 02:07:20,360
Watch here the World Series exclusively over WOR and see it on WOR-TV Channel 9, WOR and

1854
02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:22,360
WOR-FM, New York.

1855
02:07:22,360 --> 02:07:25,920
I want to check back on the Yankee totals.

1856
02:07:25,920 --> 02:07:28,600
We just gave you ten hits for them.

1857
02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:30,880
The hits should be nine.

1858
02:07:30,880 --> 02:07:37,160
Three hits off Bonnie, three hits off Madda, two off Erskine and one off Hatton.

1859
02:07:37,160 --> 02:07:40,400
So Yankees ten, nine, one.

1860
02:07:40,400 --> 02:07:44,240
The Dodgers two, seven, two.

1861
02:07:44,240 --> 02:07:50,600
Now Pulika is out there on the troubled scene, ready to pitch to second baseman Coleman as

1862
02:07:50,600 --> 02:07:52,600
we move into the seventh inning.

1863
02:07:52,600 --> 02:08:00,480
Pulika, a young right-hander, used primarily as a relief pitcher all year for the Dodgers,

1864
02:08:00,480 --> 02:08:02,480
not used very much in the late stages.

1865
02:08:02,480 --> 02:08:06,000
Coleman, who's had a tremendous series for a rookie, one for three today, right-hand

1866
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:09,520
batter, swings and slaps different foul on the upper first base stand.

1867
02:08:09,520 --> 02:08:15,200
Take one as we move along into the seventh inning with the Yankees leading ten to two.

1868
02:08:15,200 --> 02:08:19,960
The shadow of the stands has now almost completely developed the playing area.

1869
02:08:19,960 --> 02:08:24,280
Right center field in its depth out by the wall still has a little bit of sun.

1870
02:08:24,280 --> 02:08:26,760
Fast ball swung on and missed at the plate, strike two.

1871
02:08:26,760 --> 02:08:28,760
No balls, two strikes.

1872
02:08:28,760 --> 02:08:34,320
Pulika, six foot, graceful working right-hander, misses with a fast ball low inside, one and

1873
02:08:34,320 --> 02:08:35,320
two.

1874
02:08:35,320 --> 02:08:38,200
One ball, two strikes.

1875
02:08:38,200 --> 02:08:42,760
Pulika kicked on that decision.

1876
02:08:42,760 --> 02:08:46,320
The one and two pitch swung on, hit down straight to second baseman Robinson, who's up with

1877
02:08:46,320 --> 02:08:50,360
it on a big hop, throws over the first to Hodges, and Coleman is retired.

1878
02:08:50,360 --> 02:08:54,640
One up and one away.

1879
02:08:54,640 --> 02:09:08,000
And Pichirashi gets a growing round of applause as he comes closer and closer to home plate.

1880
02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:11,440
He's been quite a pitcher so far in this series.

1881
02:09:11,440 --> 02:09:16,400
When you lose one to nothing, that's just as close as you can cut it and be a losing

1882
02:09:16,400 --> 02:09:17,400
pitcher.

1883
02:09:17,400 --> 02:09:20,760
That was his fate against Pichirashi in the second game.

1884
02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:24,640
Pulika's fast ball high inside to Rashi, who's a right-hand batter, who has one hit,

1885
02:09:24,640 --> 02:09:29,240
knocked in a run with it back in the third inning.

1886
02:09:29,240 --> 02:09:32,120
Big steps up, swings, misses.

1887
02:09:32,120 --> 02:09:35,440
One and one, pitch is right down in the slot.

1888
02:09:35,440 --> 02:09:39,080
One out, nobody on in the seventh.

1889
02:09:39,080 --> 02:09:49,440
Throw, fast ball low inside, two and one.

1890
02:09:49,440 --> 02:09:51,800
Campanella pumps the sign.

1891
02:09:51,800 --> 02:09:53,760
I feel, step toward left.

1892
02:09:53,760 --> 02:09:55,720
Rashi is a good hitting pitcher.

1893
02:09:55,720 --> 02:09:59,920
Takes a fast ball over for a false second strike, and it's two and two.

1894
02:09:59,920 --> 02:10:04,440
It's a very interesting and a somber study to watch some of the faces of the national

1895
02:10:04,440 --> 02:10:11,800
leagueers that sit back at the Brooklyn bench over there in the New York giant box, Carl

1896
02:10:11,800 --> 02:10:17,760
Hubble, Eddie Brannock, the road secretary, Mel Ott sitting shoulder to shoulder with

1897
02:10:17,760 --> 02:10:18,760
Leo DeRoscia.

1898
02:10:18,760 --> 02:10:23,840
Two, two, pitch, swung on, hit right back to the mound on a big bounder.

1899
02:10:23,840 --> 02:10:29,200
Pulika throws over to first, and Rashi is out, but Pulika made him run all the way down

1900
02:10:29,200 --> 02:10:30,200
The line.

1901
02:10:30,200 --> 02:10:33,960
He wouldn't throw over there until after he had run very close to first base.

1902
02:10:33,960 --> 02:10:37,440
So, two men are gone, top of the seventh.

1903
02:10:37,440 --> 02:10:40,440
And the scudo, Phil Rizzuto, who's had a great series.

1904
02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:43,600
He's done everything that you could ask of him.

1905
02:10:43,600 --> 02:10:46,320
Pitch, fast ball in there.

1906
02:10:46,320 --> 02:10:47,320
I think in one.

1907
02:10:47,320 --> 02:10:50,240
Pulika so far just trying to get the ball over, I think.

1908
02:10:50,240 --> 02:10:51,680
He hasn't gone very much.

1909
02:10:51,680 --> 02:10:55,720
He can throw almost anything.

1910
02:10:55,720 --> 02:11:00,400
Deals, there is a breaking ball that's fouled off.

1911
02:11:00,400 --> 02:11:05,160
It might have been a knuckle up, or seemed to be giving it snake-like waivers that came

1912
02:11:05,160 --> 02:11:06,160
up.

1913
02:11:06,160 --> 02:11:07,160
Nothing in two.

1914
02:11:07,160 --> 02:11:17,280
That field's what left.

1915
02:11:17,280 --> 02:11:19,280
Infield is up because of this fellow's speed.

1916
02:11:19,280 --> 02:11:21,360
Curves, one and missed, strike three.

1917
02:11:21,360 --> 02:11:23,360
So Pulika strikes him out.

1918
02:11:23,360 --> 02:11:26,880
That's the first curve ball to use.

1919
02:11:26,880 --> 02:11:31,240
Coming across then for the Yankees, this is the first time in the ballgame that they did

1920
02:11:31,240 --> 02:11:36,440
not get a man on base in some fashion in the seven innings in which they batted.

1921
02:11:36,440 --> 02:11:41,760
And the score remains, the end of six and a half innings, the Yankees ten and the Dodgers

1922
02:11:41,760 --> 02:11:45,760
two.

1923
02:11:45,760 --> 02:11:49,760
Last half of the seventh inning, and it's the top of the order, Reese, Jorgensen, and

1924
02:11:49,760 --> 02:11:51,960
Snyder.

1925
02:11:51,960 --> 02:11:57,520
And despite the adverse fortunes to his ball club, Pee-wee Reese has continued to be a

1926
02:11:57,520 --> 02:11:58,520
standout.

1927
02:11:58,520 --> 02:12:03,400
He has had singles his last two trips, drove in Brooklyn's first run, which guaranteed

1928
02:12:03,400 --> 02:12:07,880
that if nothing else, the complete ignominy of a shutout would be averted.

1929
02:12:07,880 --> 02:12:10,720
Pee-wee has had six hits so far.

1930
02:12:10,720 --> 02:12:15,840
As she works, there's a line drive right into left field, right out to Woodley.

1931
02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:20,680
Straight to the left field, who holds it?

1932
02:12:20,680 --> 02:12:27,560
And gone, last of the seven, and Johnny Jorgensen, who's off to three, moves up to the plate.

1933
02:12:27,560 --> 02:12:30,040
Duke Snyder moves out on deck.

1934
02:12:30,040 --> 02:12:37,400
The Spada, as they call him, a ten-hitter with an open stance at 150 pounds.

1935
02:12:37,400 --> 02:12:43,120
Big rashie, pumps once, delivers, fastball on the outside, ball one.

1936
02:12:43,120 --> 02:12:48,200
He just pitching to spots.

1937
02:12:48,200 --> 02:12:53,480
First of his shirt now, staying with perspiration.

1938
02:12:53,480 --> 02:12:57,200
He deals outside again for ball two.

1939
02:12:57,200 --> 02:13:03,560
Two and all.

1940
02:13:03,560 --> 02:13:08,160
The Dodgers in a spot like this have no alternatives left but to take the count right on down,

1941
02:13:08,160 --> 02:13:12,120
trying to get ball four, because, you know, there's no defense against ball four, and

1942
02:13:12,120 --> 02:13:16,520
you've got to get a lot of men on when you're behind eight runs.

1943
02:13:16,520 --> 02:13:19,600
Rashi misses with a fastball at the knees, low inside for ball three.

1944
02:13:19,600 --> 02:13:22,600
Three and all.

1945
02:13:22,600 --> 02:13:29,720
One away, nobody on.

1946
02:13:29,720 --> 02:13:33,760
Barrett sets his mid as a target, three nothing pitch, inside for ball four.

1947
02:13:33,760 --> 02:13:40,760
The Jorgensen throws his stick away, sends Strahl, the book, and that boy retrieves it.

1948
02:13:40,760 --> 02:13:48,000
This is walk number three for Rashi and Duke Snatter, who doubled last time up in sixth

1949
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:49,000
inning.

1950
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:54,880
Later was turned into Brookton's second tally.

1951
02:13:54,880 --> 02:13:57,200
Snatter won for three today.

1952
02:13:57,200 --> 02:13:59,160
He has two hits for 19 at bats.

1953
02:13:59,160 --> 02:14:05,240
Curve, swung on, hit down to second base for Coleman, gets to him, on the right center

1954
02:14:05,240 --> 02:14:06,240
field.

1955
02:14:06,240 --> 02:14:09,200
Jorgensen runs second, goes in the third, and Snatter holds it first.

1956
02:14:09,200 --> 02:14:13,280
Coleman going to his right over toward second base, that's a tough play, as the meat hand

1957
02:14:13,280 --> 02:14:17,480
side to the second baseman can't quite come up with a ball, although he partially flags

1958
02:14:17,480 --> 02:14:20,040
it and it's officially scored as a base hit.

1959
02:14:20,040 --> 02:14:23,400
So, Snatter comes up to the wall.

1960
02:14:23,400 --> 02:14:24,400
That has to be a base hit.

1961
02:14:24,400 --> 02:14:28,000
That could have only been a great play had Coleman come up with it.

1962
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:33,520
So that is a single in the center field for Snatter sending Jorgensen to third.

1963
02:14:33,520 --> 02:14:39,240
Hit number eight for the Dodgers, and the batter is Robinson, who has one hit for two

1964
02:14:39,240 --> 02:14:40,240
today.

1965
02:14:40,240 --> 02:14:48,360
Running at first and third, Rashi's fastball is lost, side ball won, and Joe Page is up

1966
02:14:48,360 --> 02:14:49,360
again.

1967
02:14:49,360 --> 02:14:54,120
He's, first of all, as they used to say, is sure his death and taxes, well, you might

1968
02:14:54,120 --> 02:14:58,120
say as far as the Yanks are concerned, is sure his death, taxes, and pay.

1969
02:14:58,120 --> 02:15:03,400
Robinson takes a call strike, fastball over, one ball, one strike.

1970
02:15:03,400 --> 02:15:09,080
One is at first and third, one out last to the seventh.

1971
02:15:09,080 --> 02:15:14,080
Appear around to what left.

1972
02:15:14,080 --> 02:15:22,680
Throw, swung on, hit the ball outside first base, it's one and two.

1973
02:15:22,680 --> 02:15:24,440
One ball, two strikes.

1974
02:15:24,440 --> 02:15:31,480
I guess at a time like this that Casey Stengel remains a little itchy because he's seen big

1975
02:15:31,480 --> 02:15:33,880
leads evaporate.

1976
02:15:33,880 --> 02:15:38,160
Everybody of course knows that at one time in the World Series, the Athletics came up

1977
02:15:38,160 --> 02:15:41,800
with 10 runs in one inning.

1978
02:15:41,800 --> 02:15:47,880
That's what makes baseball the interesting, charming, irresistible sport that it is, is

1979
02:15:47,880 --> 02:15:53,880
its consistent uncertainty, complete unpredictability.

1980
02:15:53,880 --> 02:15:57,880
So you play them out to the end, see what happens.

1981
02:15:57,880 --> 02:16:00,280
That's what we're doing.

1982
02:16:00,280 --> 02:16:04,040
The one and two pitch, swung on, there's a high fireball into left field, Woodlings on

1983
02:16:04,040 --> 02:16:05,280
rich, an easy chance for him.

1984
02:16:05,280 --> 02:16:07,680
Jorgensen tags that third, there's the catch.

1985
02:16:07,680 --> 02:16:13,080
Jorgensen comes on in and scores and Henrik, the first baseman, no, it's Brown, cut the

1986
02:16:13,080 --> 02:16:17,240
ball off in front of Henrik and this hole started at first base.

1987
02:16:17,240 --> 02:16:20,120
So it's a 10 to three ball game.

1988
02:16:20,120 --> 02:16:29,200
Fly ball to left field, high, deep enough, but not too well tagged, and Jorgensen scores.

1989
02:16:29,200 --> 02:16:36,200
10 to three, Stengel of course going just as far as he can with Rashid, he wants him

1990
02:16:36,200 --> 02:16:38,520
to finish.

1991
02:16:38,520 --> 02:16:43,440
Gene Harmanski who's singled in the run in the sixth inning for the Dodger, their second

1992
02:16:43,440 --> 02:16:46,640
tally comes up.

1993
02:16:46,640 --> 02:16:53,520
The Yankees are now moving all so close, so close to the big stake.

1994
02:16:53,520 --> 02:16:57,000
The Pernod races were bitter, right down to the last day.

1995
02:16:57,000 --> 02:17:00,320
Now the Yankees trying to decide the series.

1996
02:17:00,320 --> 02:17:03,480
Harmanski takes a curve that hangs outside to him, right hand pitcher working the left

1997
02:17:03,480 --> 02:17:04,480
hand batter.

1998
02:17:04,480 --> 02:17:09,240
Gene asked to have the ball examined, so Fred Umparkel Hubbard audited, brought to him for

1999
02:17:09,240 --> 02:17:14,520
an inspection, and he takes it out.

2000
02:17:14,520 --> 02:17:21,040
Apparently it had some dirt spot on it.

2001
02:17:21,040 --> 02:17:25,880
If there is anything that has changed the play of baseball, it has been the baseball

2002
02:17:25,880 --> 02:17:27,760
itself.

2003
02:17:27,760 --> 02:17:32,080
And not only the construction of the baseball, but the fact that a new ball is constantly

2004
02:17:32,080 --> 02:17:33,080
being used.

2005
02:17:33,080 --> 02:17:38,120
In the old days, they'd just play with the ball all afternoon.

2006
02:17:38,120 --> 02:17:42,120
Harmanski takes a pitch high, ball two.

2007
02:17:42,120 --> 02:17:46,680
Back before 1920 for example, pitch could do anything with the ball he wanted to.

2008
02:17:46,680 --> 02:17:53,680
Some of them did some fearful things.

2009
02:17:53,680 --> 02:17:56,360
Today a pitcher has to make every pitch good.

2010
02:17:56,360 --> 02:17:59,680
Two nothing pitch, low outside, ball three.

2011
02:17:59,680 --> 02:18:04,480
Two balls, no strikes, and there's Stengel just mucking around.

2012
02:18:04,480 --> 02:18:10,960
It's a 10 to 3 Yankee lead, but Mr. Stengel is not comfortable.

2013
02:18:10,960 --> 02:18:14,920
He's been in this game a long time, and in this ball pocket book him a long time.

2014
02:18:14,920 --> 02:18:17,720
Rashe seems to be quite tired.

2015
02:18:17,720 --> 02:18:18,720
He's forcing himself.

2016
02:18:18,720 --> 02:18:24,160
For a minute he gets up to start throwing in the book on both ends.

2017
02:18:24,160 --> 02:18:28,440
Pitch low, throw ball four, and Harmanski draws the base on balls.

2018
02:18:28,440 --> 02:18:33,280
Two out, he takes first to start and moves over to second base.

2019
02:18:33,280 --> 02:18:38,120
Walk number four off Rashe, and all four walks have come in the last two innings, sixth and

2020
02:18:38,120 --> 02:18:39,120
seventh.

2021
02:18:39,120 --> 02:18:43,120
Well, there's Stengel standing in front of the Yankee bench.

2022
02:18:43,120 --> 02:18:47,280
Boy, what a year he's had, huh?

2023
02:18:47,280 --> 02:18:53,560
What a year.

2024
02:18:53,560 --> 02:18:57,760
Never got very far managing in the major leagues at Brooklyn, Boston.

2025
02:18:57,760 --> 02:19:01,040
Never had very good ballplay.

2026
02:19:01,040 --> 02:19:05,080
He was given some ballplayers this year, and he's really come through.

2027
02:19:05,080 --> 02:19:09,320
Now the matter is Hodges, 10-3, favorite New York.

2028
02:19:09,320 --> 02:19:13,680
Rashe misses just outside, no more than the width of a Gillette blue blade, but that's

2029
02:19:13,680 --> 02:19:17,080
wide enough, ball one.

2030
02:19:17,080 --> 02:19:21,280
Hodges has one for three.

2031
02:19:21,280 --> 02:19:26,920
Outfield, Ron, toward left, a 10-to-minute.

2032
02:19:26,920 --> 02:19:30,600
Very tall, going down in the right-field corner for Brooklyn.

2033
02:19:30,600 --> 02:19:31,600
Page has already warmed up.

2034
02:19:31,600 --> 02:19:33,200
He's just watching for the Yankees.

2035
02:19:33,200 --> 02:19:38,520
They're the fast ball over, one and one, one ball, one strike.

2036
02:19:38,520 --> 02:19:48,120
Rashe is weary, but he wants to go.

2037
02:19:48,120 --> 02:19:52,040
You have a feeling, however, the next thing that happens to him, he's out.

2038
02:19:52,040 --> 02:19:56,720
One-one pitch, swung on, there's a high five ball deep in the left field, way back in the

2039
02:19:56,720 --> 02:19:57,720
left field.

2040
02:19:57,720 --> 02:20:02,240
It is in there for a home run, and it's a 10-to-6 ball game.

2041
02:20:02,240 --> 02:20:07,240
Stengel going to the mound, and Rashe's coming out.

2042
02:20:07,240 --> 02:20:34,000
Well, Rashe, there he goes, a big, swept-steam figure with his head down, walking into the

2043
02:20:34,000 --> 02:20:37,240
Yankee bench, Stengel is out of the mound, holding the ball, talking to Bellarmine.

2044
02:20:37,240 --> 02:20:43,880
Joe Page is coming on, and the Dodgers, who die hard, are still alive, and it's a 10-to-6

2045
02:20:43,880 --> 02:20:46,880
ball game.

2046
02:20:46,880 --> 02:20:54,880
There's Joe Page, the master release pitcher of his era.

2047
02:20:54,880 --> 02:20:58,920
Page coming out to the mound.

2048
02:20:58,920 --> 02:21:05,520
Big Hodges, it's a three-run home run.

2049
02:21:05,520 --> 02:21:09,280
Stengel waiting on the mound to hand the ball to Page.

2050
02:21:09,280 --> 02:21:12,200
Blackley is scheduled to hit first, but it will probably be a pinch hitter.

2051
02:21:12,200 --> 02:21:16,640
Blackley's a left-hand batter, and Page is a left-hander.

2052
02:21:16,640 --> 02:21:24,120
I see Laurie Ormahl going over to the Brooklyn batting cage.

2053
02:21:24,120 --> 02:21:26,120
Apparently, he's going to get a stick and hit.

2054
02:21:26,120 --> 02:21:29,120
Basically, I haven't picked up a bat as yet.

2055
02:21:29,120 --> 02:21:34,120
Page is going to pitch to the end out.

2056
02:21:34,120 --> 02:21:39,640
Well, while we have the opportunity, Page is taking over at the mound.

2057
02:21:39,640 --> 02:21:42,800
It's a 10-to-6 game in favor of New York.

2058
02:21:42,800 --> 02:21:45,760
We'll pause 10 seconds for station identification.

2059
02:21:45,760 --> 02:21:50,040
This is the neutral broadcasting system.

2060
02:21:50,040 --> 02:21:56,640
Hear the World Series exclusively over WOR.

2061
02:21:56,640 --> 02:22:01,400
See it on WOR-TV, Channel 9.

2062
02:22:01,400 --> 02:22:05,280
So far, Manager Schotton has not picked up his pinch hitter as yet.

2063
02:22:05,280 --> 02:22:09,960
Ralph Branca gets his glove, and the big pitcher who wears number 13 is going down to both

2064
02:22:09,960 --> 02:22:13,000
and along with Bruce Edwards to throw with Paul Menna.

2065
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:17,600
It's a 10-to-6 ball game, and Louis Ormahl will be the pinch hitter.

2066
02:22:17,600 --> 02:22:20,440
Well, Mal, you've been watching Ratchie all year.

2067
02:22:20,440 --> 02:22:22,440
He got pretty tired, didn't he?

2068
02:22:22,440 --> 02:22:24,440
It was obvious he was quite tired.

2069
02:22:24,440 --> 02:22:30,520
He's the fellow that we wondered about at the very beginning of the game, the two-day

2070
02:22:30,520 --> 02:22:32,000
rest proposition with him.

2071
02:22:32,000 --> 02:22:36,760
Though he's a big fellow, and he is strong, yet he doesn't particularly care for the warm

2072
02:22:36,760 --> 02:22:37,760
weather.

2073
02:22:37,760 --> 02:22:41,560
He's always a better pitcher in cooler weather.

2074
02:22:41,560 --> 02:22:46,000
And he gave it all he had up to that seventh inning.

2075
02:22:46,000 --> 02:22:47,000
He was tiring in the sixth.

2076
02:22:47,000 --> 02:22:53,160
Now, think Casey Stengel's idea there was to try and get as far as he could with him

2077
02:22:53,160 --> 02:22:57,640
so that he would not have to work Joe Page any longer than he would have to, because

2078
02:22:57,640 --> 02:23:01,440
Joe has worked quite a lot in the series.

2079
02:23:01,440 --> 02:23:06,360
Well, so the Dodgers caught up with Ratchie, and he's gone.

2080
02:23:06,360 --> 02:23:09,800
And now Louis Ormahl is coming up with the pinch hitter against Joe Page the last time

2081
02:23:09,800 --> 02:23:10,800
they met.

2082
02:23:10,800 --> 02:23:11,800
Ormahl hit him for a home run.

2083
02:23:11,800 --> 02:23:12,800
So Page takes over.

2084
02:23:12,800 --> 02:23:17,200
The Dodgers who were behind 10-1 now moved up to work 10-6.

2085
02:23:17,200 --> 02:23:20,320
There's a pass ball right in that court called strike.

2086
02:23:20,320 --> 02:23:22,720
And it's a big better than six-foot left-hander.

2087
02:23:22,720 --> 02:23:24,720
Joe Page takes over.

2088
02:23:24,720 --> 02:23:36,280
It's the third time that Page is relieved.

2089
02:23:36,280 --> 02:23:38,280
Page relieved Tommy Byrne, you know.

2090
02:23:38,280 --> 02:23:42,600
Did a tremendous job in game three.

2091
02:23:42,600 --> 02:23:45,000
Winning pitchers.

2092
02:23:45,000 --> 02:23:51,040
Ormahl swings at a high foul back of the Brooklyn bench, coming down in the spectators.

2093
02:23:51,040 --> 02:23:52,040
Out of play.

2094
02:23:52,040 --> 02:23:53,040
Ormahl's two strikes.

2095
02:23:53,040 --> 02:23:54,040
Ormahl right-hand hitter.

2096
02:23:54,040 --> 02:23:59,040
Tense deep, back in the box, overly close stance.

2097
02:23:59,040 --> 02:24:04,040
Joe the clock is buzzing again.

2098
02:24:04,040 --> 02:24:07,040
Page delivers.

2099
02:24:07,040 --> 02:24:14,040
There's a swing of the best of strike three and he comes out on a place-to-fell over on

2100
02:24:14,040 --> 02:24:15,040
three straight pitches.

2101
02:24:15,040 --> 02:24:17,800
So that closes matters for the last half of the seventh.

2102
02:24:17,800 --> 02:24:21,840
And in the last of the seventh inning for the Dodgers, four runs, an inning which was

2103
02:24:21,840 --> 02:24:25,960
featured by Gil Hodges' home run with two on.

2104
02:24:25,960 --> 02:24:27,480
Two hits.

2105
02:24:27,480 --> 02:24:29,600
The other two men to get on were bases on balls.

2106
02:24:29,600 --> 02:24:36,960
So at the end of seven to check totals, 10 runs, nine hits, one hour for New York.

2107
02:24:36,960 --> 02:24:41,440
Six runs, nine hits, and two hours for Brooklyn.

2108
02:24:41,440 --> 02:24:45,720
All runs in the ball game are earned.

2109
02:24:45,720 --> 02:24:49,960
Ormahl who hits for left fielder Radcliffe has just been announced as going out into

2110
02:24:49,960 --> 02:24:52,080
left field.

2111
02:24:52,080 --> 02:24:55,360
Ball game, two and a half hours all.

2112
02:24:55,360 --> 02:24:58,760
Ready to move now into the eighth inning.

2113
02:24:58,760 --> 02:25:03,440
In case you're wondering what would happen should a ball game which started at two o'clock

2114
02:25:03,440 --> 02:25:09,360
on Sunday here this late in the year in the fall, should it be an extremely long game

2115
02:25:09,360 --> 02:25:10,360
and run into darkness?

2116
02:25:10,360 --> 02:25:12,360
Would they call it?

2117
02:25:12,360 --> 02:25:18,120
Well, Commissioner Chandler decided that if necessary because there are lights in both

2118
02:25:18,120 --> 02:25:20,400
parts, the lights would be turned on.

2119
02:25:20,400 --> 02:25:22,320
The game would go ahead.

2120
02:25:22,320 --> 02:25:27,040
However, on Sunday they could only play until seven o'clock.

2121
02:25:27,040 --> 02:25:29,400
They did have to turn the lights on.

2122
02:25:29,400 --> 02:25:34,960
The most runs ever scored by both clubs in the total world series game, 22 in case you're

2123
02:25:34,960 --> 02:25:35,960
wondering about that.

2124
02:25:35,960 --> 02:25:37,640
They've been 16 so far in this one.

2125
02:25:37,640 --> 02:25:41,040
They had divided with the Yankees 10 to Dodgers 6.

2126
02:25:41,040 --> 02:25:42,040
Now we'll see what happens.

2127
02:25:42,040 --> 02:25:43,040
The eighth inning.

2128
02:25:43,040 --> 02:25:45,760
That is Tommy Henrik who has one hit today, single his last time up.

2129
02:25:45,760 --> 02:25:48,720
Right end to Pelika delivers and Henrik swings and drills the ball to right center fielder

2130
02:25:48,720 --> 02:25:51,600
Snatter going over and makes a fine catch on it.

2131
02:25:51,600 --> 02:25:53,440
What a day he's had.

2132
02:25:53,440 --> 02:25:56,440
He's still got the ball.

2133
02:25:56,440 --> 02:25:59,680
That's the third fine catch for Snatter.

2134
02:25:59,680 --> 02:26:09,960
Two of them off the magio as Mel Allen told you earlier in the ball game.

2135
02:26:09,960 --> 02:26:29,200
Ball out steps in and takes a called strike.

2136
02:26:29,200 --> 02:26:34,200
Nothing in one.

2137
02:26:34,200 --> 02:26:35,200
There's a pitch high outside.

2138
02:26:35,200 --> 02:26:36,200
Ball one.

2139
02:26:36,200 --> 02:26:37,200
One ball, one strike.

2140
02:26:37,200 --> 02:26:38,200
Yankees 10 to Dodgers 6.

2141
02:26:38,200 --> 02:26:41,480
And the place is alive.

2142
02:26:41,480 --> 02:26:43,480
Vibrant with the sole once again.

2143
02:26:43,480 --> 02:26:44,480
Pitch is swung on.

2144
02:26:44,480 --> 02:26:47,760
There's a high fly ball into deep right center fielder.

2145
02:26:47,760 --> 02:26:51,080
Snatter back all against the concrete makes the catch.

2146
02:26:51,080 --> 02:26:54,080
376 feet away.

2147
02:26:54,080 --> 02:26:59,640
Throw to Lanagard.

2148
02:26:59,640 --> 02:27:00,640
Two up, two out.

2149
02:27:00,640 --> 02:27:03,640
Top of the eighth.

2150
02:27:03,640 --> 02:27:06,400
And here is the magio.

2151
02:27:06,400 --> 02:27:10,200
The jolted one in the fourth inning.

2152
02:27:10,200 --> 02:27:12,680
The second series hit and his first solid win.

2153
02:27:12,680 --> 02:27:13,680
A home run.

2154
02:27:13,680 --> 02:27:17,120
Right hand batter as you know outfield deep around to the left.

2155
02:27:17,120 --> 02:27:19,120
Fulika pitches a fast ball high inside.

2156
02:27:19,120 --> 02:27:24,320
Ball one.

2157
02:27:24,320 --> 02:27:29,160
The two Brooklyn pitchers in the bullpen, Branker and Minner continue working.

2158
02:27:29,160 --> 02:27:32,520
The magio takes a fast ball over for a called strike from both the knees.

2159
02:27:32,520 --> 02:27:36,400
For the Dodgers in the last of the eighth inning it will be Campanella with a catcher

2160
02:27:36,400 --> 02:27:41,520
who hits eighth and probably a pinch hitter in the top of the order.

2161
02:27:41,520 --> 02:27:42,520
One to one touch.

2162
02:27:42,520 --> 02:27:44,680
Low outside for ball two.

2163
02:27:44,680 --> 02:27:47,680
Two balls, one strike.

2164
02:27:47,680 --> 02:27:54,640
Two and one.

2165
02:27:54,640 --> 02:27:58,800
Ball game that was 10 to one is now 10 to six for New York.

2166
02:27:58,800 --> 02:28:02,560
Two out for the Yankees in the eighth.

2167
02:28:02,560 --> 02:28:06,360
Two on pitchers, a curve just missing high outside for ball three.

2168
02:28:06,360 --> 02:28:13,880
And Fulika turns his back, walks to the back of the mound.

2169
02:28:13,880 --> 02:28:18,040
He still has not turned around to accept the ball from Campanella.

2170
02:28:18,040 --> 02:28:22,520
Now he does.

2171
02:28:22,520 --> 02:28:34,560
Three and one.

2172
02:28:34,560 --> 02:28:36,560
Three one pitch, swung on and missed.

2173
02:28:36,560 --> 02:28:38,560
Fast ball in by the hand.

2174
02:28:38,560 --> 02:28:40,560
The Dodgers taking this cut.

2175
02:28:40,560 --> 02:28:44,560
Three and two.

2176
02:28:44,560 --> 02:28:46,560
Campanella bumps aside.

2177
02:28:46,560 --> 02:28:49,240
Making response to the livers.

2178
02:28:49,240 --> 02:28:52,240
High inside for ball four and the magio walks.

2179
02:28:52,240 --> 02:28:57,760
Fulika and his relief roll with the first five and now walks the magio.

2180
02:28:57,760 --> 02:29:00,840
They have bases on balls.

2181
02:29:00,840 --> 02:29:03,360
The Yankees have received eight walks.

2182
02:29:03,360 --> 02:29:06,000
The Dodgers have received four.

2183
02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:14,680
Great number of runs stemmed from the walks.

2184
02:29:14,680 --> 02:29:16,200
Snyder has been very busy in center field.

2185
02:29:16,200 --> 02:29:17,200
Mel has just checked up.

2186
02:29:17,200 --> 02:29:19,000
He looked back through his box score.

2187
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:22,000
Snyder has had 18 put outs so far in the series.

2188
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:27,480
The record in a five game search for center fielders, 20 by Earl Combs.

2189
02:29:27,480 --> 02:29:35,160
Tommy Brown takes a curve ball, Bobby Brown takes a curve ball in there for a false strike.

2190
02:29:35,160 --> 02:29:38,160
No balls, one strike.

2191
02:29:38,160 --> 02:29:42,720
Bobby has had a single walk strike out on a triple.

2192
02:29:42,720 --> 02:29:44,080
Brown gets in and sets it to Fulika.

2193
02:29:44,080 --> 02:29:46,320
That's his right foot on the slab.

2194
02:29:46,320 --> 02:29:47,320
He's in pitching position.

2195
02:29:47,320 --> 02:29:50,240
Delivered the magio, breaks and Brown hits the ball out of the left field.

2196
02:29:50,240 --> 02:29:51,720
He's in there for a base hit.

2197
02:29:51,720 --> 02:29:53,680
It's a bounding ball that almost goes down.

2198
02:29:53,680 --> 02:29:55,080
The magio holds on a second base.

2199
02:29:55,080 --> 02:29:57,960
The throw goes into second.

2200
02:29:57,960 --> 02:30:02,920
So two men go on a walk to Joe and another base hit for Brown.

2201
02:30:02,920 --> 02:30:04,600
Line single in the left field.

2202
02:30:04,600 --> 02:30:12,640
That ball almost had enough kangaroo in it to bounce up high over the left fielder.

2203
02:30:12,640 --> 02:30:15,840
So for the Yankees, man at first and second.

2204
02:30:15,840 --> 02:30:17,480
And stepping in is Gene Woodley.

2205
02:30:17,480 --> 02:30:22,680
These who had a nine run lead are now reduced to a four and they'd like to have some of

2206
02:30:22,680 --> 02:30:24,560
that big plus back again.

2207
02:30:24,560 --> 02:30:25,560
All they can get.

2208
02:30:25,560 --> 02:30:29,360
The Yankees of course trying to nail the series down.

2209
02:30:29,360 --> 02:30:32,160
The Dodgers trying to remain alive.

2210
02:30:32,160 --> 02:30:35,520
The matter is quite simple, very basic.

2211
02:30:35,520 --> 02:30:41,160
Throw, swung on a high fly ball into left field.

2212
02:30:41,160 --> 02:30:42,160
Almost unripped.

2213
02:30:42,160 --> 02:30:45,160
And the left fielder takes it for the third out.

2214
02:30:45,160 --> 02:30:48,080
And this is the first time that Woodley has been retired as a batter.

2215
02:30:48,080 --> 02:30:50,680
But that's all for the bid and the top of the eighth inning.

2216
02:30:50,680 --> 02:30:53,200
No runs, one hit, two and a left.

2217
02:30:53,200 --> 02:30:56,720
And with the Dodgers coming into the last half of the eighth, the score remains the

2218
02:30:56,720 --> 02:31:01,040
Yankees 10 and the Dodgers six.

2219
02:31:01,040 --> 02:31:06,840
Remember men, look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp.

2220
02:31:06,840 --> 02:31:13,320
Use duet blue blades with the sharpest edges ever home.

2221
02:31:13,320 --> 02:31:16,600
Mark Caffanella stepping in to be the first batter last of the eighth inning.

2222
02:31:16,600 --> 02:31:21,160
And Bruce Edwards, a stocky right hand hitter, second string catcher is being brought in

2223
02:31:21,160 --> 02:31:23,920
from the bullpen up to the bench.

2224
02:31:23,920 --> 02:31:25,920
Apparently to hit for Follica.

2225
02:31:25,920 --> 02:31:32,760
However, let's wait developments and see.

2226
02:31:32,760 --> 02:31:37,840
And Edwards comes up to the bench and is apparently instructed to notify the bullpen who they

2227
02:31:37,840 --> 02:31:39,440
wish to have throwing.

2228
02:31:39,440 --> 02:31:45,560
And Branca is ordered to stop throwing and Minner is to throw.

2229
02:31:45,560 --> 02:31:48,920
Eddie Mixch's utility infielder gets a catcher's lung goes down to the bullpen in place of

2230
02:31:48,920 --> 02:31:51,920
Edwards.

2231
02:31:51,920 --> 02:31:59,680
Page takes the sign, throws, first swing's a high high pop fly.

2232
02:31:59,680 --> 02:32:04,360
Let's see the first baseman Tommy Henrik is under the ball, under it, he's got it.

2233
02:32:04,360 --> 02:32:08,200
Throw one up and one gone.

2234
02:32:08,200 --> 02:32:10,640
And Bruce Edwards walking up to pinch hit.

2235
02:32:10,640 --> 02:32:13,280
This will be his second appearance.

2236
02:32:13,280 --> 02:32:17,400
He ended game three as he looked to the third strike that paid through fast.

2237
02:32:17,400 --> 02:32:24,880
For Brooklyn, number 10, Bruce Edwards starting for Follica.

2238
02:32:24,880 --> 02:32:25,880
Edwards stepping in.

2239
02:32:25,880 --> 02:32:32,720
Page trying to nail the world's championship down for the Yankees.

2240
02:32:32,720 --> 02:32:37,080
Delivers fastball swung on and missed.

2241
02:32:37,080 --> 02:32:41,400
It was Pagaw son along working for a pennant.

2242
02:32:41,400 --> 02:32:44,680
What a job he did in the next and last game to keep the Yankees alive in order for them

2243
02:32:44,680 --> 02:32:46,280
to win something.

2244
02:32:46,280 --> 02:32:57,120
And now he's pitching for the big stick.

2245
02:32:57,120 --> 02:33:02,000
Delivers fastball outside ball one.

2246
02:33:02,000 --> 02:33:06,080
Oddly enough it was Pagaw in the seventh of the deciding game between these two teams

2247
02:33:06,080 --> 02:33:12,360
in 47 that held Brooklyn off and enabled the Yankees to go ahead and win and clinch it.

2248
02:33:12,360 --> 02:33:17,200
So he's being given a second chance to clinch it for his ball class.

2249
02:33:17,200 --> 02:33:19,640
It's a rather appropriate honor.

2250
02:33:19,640 --> 02:33:24,280
The games that he saved say nothing of those that he's won himself all season long.

2251
02:33:24,280 --> 02:33:28,960
21 pitches swung on as a base hit into the field as the Dodgers remain going.

2252
02:33:28,960 --> 02:33:36,000
Edwards is single, in the lap, then he's on the first.

2253
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:43,240
So hit number one on page number 10 for the Dodgers.

2254
02:33:43,240 --> 02:33:44,840
That's hit number 20 in the ball game.

2255
02:33:44,840 --> 02:33:47,960
You can add them appropriately correctly.

2256
02:33:47,960 --> 02:33:53,680
And lead off with Peewee Reese who is two for four today.

2257
02:33:53,680 --> 02:33:56,760
Six hits for 18 so far.

2258
02:33:56,760 --> 02:34:00,800
12 to five games.

2259
02:34:00,800 --> 02:34:03,440
Reese up.

2260
02:34:03,440 --> 02:34:05,960
Yankees leading 10 to six.

2261
02:34:05,960 --> 02:34:09,920
Third ball in, they're good for a call strike.

2262
02:34:09,920 --> 02:34:12,800
Reese who is very good if an occasion of dropping a bunt for a base hit.

2263
02:34:12,800 --> 02:34:14,400
Bluffs that he would bunt.

2264
02:34:14,400 --> 02:34:15,960
Page broke off the mound toward the plate.

2265
02:34:15,960 --> 02:34:23,360
The third baseman Brown came rushing in.

2266
02:34:23,360 --> 02:34:27,080
Nexus is being recalled at the bench from the both end.

2267
02:34:27,080 --> 02:34:28,440
Menner is the pitcher up throwing.

2268
02:34:28,440 --> 02:34:32,920
Apparently it will be Menner who will come on to relieve in the ninth inning.

2269
02:34:32,920 --> 02:34:35,800
Big tall range, he left hand it.

2270
02:34:35,800 --> 02:34:36,800
Pitchers checks first.

2271
02:34:36,800 --> 02:34:37,800
Henrik is not on the bag.

2272
02:34:37,800 --> 02:34:38,800
Reese swings and misses.

2273
02:34:38,800 --> 02:34:39,800
Nothing in two.

2274
02:34:39,800 --> 02:34:45,200
And judging from the way the Peewee moved, the speed he was trying to hit that ball on

2275
02:34:45,200 --> 02:34:46,200
The right.

2276
02:34:46,200 --> 02:34:47,200
Nothing in two.

2277
02:34:47,200 --> 02:34:48,200
Edwards doesn't get off first very far.

2278
02:34:48,200 --> 02:34:59,200
The percentage of course is for Henrik to be off the bag and the first baseman is.

2279
02:34:59,200 --> 02:35:05,120
Halfway between first base and his full fielding depth.

2280
02:35:05,120 --> 02:35:06,960
Pitchers swung on hit right back to the mound.

2281
02:35:06,960 --> 02:35:07,960
Page is up with it.

2282
02:35:07,960 --> 02:35:08,960
Throw it down to second base for a zero.

2283
02:35:08,960 --> 02:35:09,960
One out to throw on the first base.

2284
02:35:09,960 --> 02:35:10,960
Double play.

2285
02:35:10,960 --> 02:35:11,960
And that ends the eighth inning.

2286
02:35:11,960 --> 02:35:16,960
So a bounding ball is hit back to the pitcher.

2287
02:35:16,960 --> 02:35:19,480
Page knew what to do with it.

2288
02:35:19,480 --> 02:35:23,360
Fought it back to Schwarzkopf for Zudal who then relayed it over to first baseman Tommy

2289
02:35:23,360 --> 02:35:26,080
Henrik and that took care of that.

2290
02:35:26,080 --> 02:35:31,240
And for the Yankees that gives them their fifth double play in the series.

2291
02:35:31,240 --> 02:35:34,120
The Dodgers have had one.

2292
02:35:34,120 --> 02:35:36,080
So at the end there are eight full rounds.

2293
02:35:36,080 --> 02:35:41,080
Men are coming in from the bullpen and the Yankees lead with Page trying to be the boy

2294
02:35:41,080 --> 02:35:43,960
at the dike ten to six.

2295
02:35:43,960 --> 02:35:50,560
Folks, the popular Gillette Tech razor with five Gillette blue blades for only 49 cents

2296
02:35:50,560 --> 02:35:54,560
is a world famous shaving bargain believe me.

2297
02:35:54,560 --> 02:35:59,400
This razor has one feature after another that makes shaving smooth and comfortable.

2298
02:35:59,400 --> 02:36:01,560
It sets up stubble as a barber does.

2299
02:36:01,560 --> 02:36:07,160
Holds the blade rigidly, eliminates edge vibration, protects you against nicks.

2300
02:36:07,160 --> 02:36:20,480
For real shaving satisfaction at a rock bottom price, get a Gillette Tech razor.

2301
02:36:20,480 --> 02:36:24,600
For men are the 17th Dodger to get into the ball game and the sixth pitcher comes on to

2302
02:36:24,600 --> 02:36:25,600
The mouth.

2303
02:36:25,600 --> 02:36:32,280
The market for the most players in a World Series game by one team is 21.

2304
02:36:32,280 --> 02:36:35,960
Correction then there's the 18th.

2305
02:36:35,960 --> 02:36:41,360
So a minute comes on.

2306
02:36:41,360 --> 02:36:46,960
For the Yankees it will be Mapes, Coleman and Page, the last third of the batting order

2307
02:36:46,960 --> 02:36:53,960
in the top of the ninth.

2308
02:36:53,960 --> 02:36:58,440
The Yankees got two runs off Barney who walked the first two men that he faced early in the

2309
02:36:58,440 --> 02:37:02,640
afternoon about two hours and 45 minutes ago.

2310
02:37:02,640 --> 02:37:06,160
Then Rex and a pickoff for Tipped at second base made a wild throw and the runners each

2311
02:37:06,160 --> 02:37:07,640
went up a notch.

2312
02:37:07,640 --> 02:37:12,240
So a fly ball and single got them in.

2313
02:37:12,240 --> 02:37:16,240
Then the Yankees picked up three runs and got Barney out of there in the third inning.

2314
02:37:16,240 --> 02:37:21,360
They continued at the expense of Jack Banner with single runs in the fourth and fifth and

2315
02:37:21,360 --> 02:37:25,600
got three runs off Erskine in the sixth inning.

2316
02:37:25,600 --> 02:37:27,640
Hadn't finally got them out, Fulika held them.

2317
02:37:27,640 --> 02:37:29,200
Men are now taking over.

2318
02:37:29,200 --> 02:37:31,760
Meanwhile the Yankees would have been front running just tomorrow.

2319
02:37:31,760 --> 02:37:38,720
There is a consultation between the umpires and Commissioner Chandler and the lights are

2320
02:37:38,720 --> 02:37:39,720
going to be turned on.

2321
02:37:39,720 --> 02:37:43,400
The lights are going to be turned on for the first time in a World Series ball game.

2322
02:37:43,400 --> 02:37:49,640
Commissioner Chandler who has had all the World Series so efficiently and so thoughtfully

2323
02:37:49,640 --> 02:37:54,040
now says that with the whole field in shadow we will pause until all the lights can be

2324
02:37:54,040 --> 02:37:55,580
turned on.

2325
02:37:55,580 --> 02:37:59,760
So what the commission is doing is what baseball has been doing is taking advantage of the

2326
02:37:59,760 --> 02:38:02,520
benefits of science.

2327
02:38:02,520 --> 02:38:06,820
So the lights are now being turned on and this is an historic occasion.

2328
02:38:06,820 --> 02:38:11,600
They were about to be turned on oddly enough in a Sunday game which went very long between

2329
02:38:11,600 --> 02:38:14,260
The Yankees and the Dodgers in 1947.

2330
02:38:14,260 --> 02:38:15,680
But the ball game happened to end.

2331
02:38:15,680 --> 02:38:18,960
Had they gone another inning the lights would have been turned on then.

2332
02:38:18,960 --> 02:38:24,080
And as we told you earlier the commissioner had said that he would turn the lights on

2333
02:38:24,080 --> 02:38:26,000
if he felt it was necessary.

2334
02:38:26,000 --> 02:38:31,640
So after a brief consultation with the played umpire Cal Hubbard and Beams Redden who is

2335
02:38:31,640 --> 02:38:37,280
The senior umpire from the National League as far as years of work are concerned the

2336
02:38:37,280 --> 02:38:41,080
commissioner said we will hold up the ball game, let men throw a few more pitches and

2337
02:38:41,080 --> 02:38:42,920
get the lights turned on.

2338
02:38:42,920 --> 02:38:46,160
So light power after light power are being turned on.

2339
02:38:46,160 --> 02:38:47,920
So history is being made.

2340
02:38:47,920 --> 02:38:50,000
The lights are being turned on.

2341
02:38:50,000 --> 02:38:54,680
As we look at the clock on the scoreboard here at Brooklyn it indicates roughly ten

2342
02:38:54,680 --> 02:38:56,960
minutes of five Eastern Standard Time.

2343
02:38:56,960 --> 02:39:02,600
Where there are no stands they would not have had to turn the lights on.

2344
02:39:02,600 --> 02:39:07,560
But with the sun setting behind the main stands the whole field is completely in deep shadow.

2345
02:39:07,560 --> 02:39:10,320
So the lights are being turned on.

2346
02:39:10,320 --> 02:39:12,240
And it takes a little time to get them all turned on.

2347
02:39:12,240 --> 02:39:16,000
In other words there is no master switch that turns on all the light powers at one fell

2348
02:39:16,000 --> 02:39:17,000
swoop.

2349
02:39:17,000 --> 02:39:24,080
Now let's see Mel I see you've got the record book out.

2350
02:39:24,080 --> 02:39:28,520
Is this game going to be a long game by time compared to some other World Series games?

2351
02:39:28,520 --> 02:39:33,800
No, Red it's an approximation of course a great deal happens.

2352
02:39:33,800 --> 02:39:35,600
Depends on what happens here in the ninth inning.

2353
02:39:35,600 --> 02:39:41,600
The longest game by time three hours and twenty eight minutes the Tigers and Cubs in 1945

2354
02:39:41,600 --> 02:39:43,880
but that was an extra inning game.

2355
02:39:43,880 --> 02:39:45,120
Won twelve innings.

2356
02:39:45,120 --> 02:39:49,200
The longest game by time for a nine inning game is three hours and nineteen minutes the

2357
02:39:49,200 --> 02:39:52,600
Dodgers and the Yankees in that very same game you were talking about a little while

2358
02:39:52,600 --> 02:39:53,600
ago.

2359
02:39:53,600 --> 02:39:59,160
And we've gone two hours and forty five minutes so far so possibly could approach the record.

2360
02:39:59,160 --> 02:40:02,920
They say that everything happens at Brooklyn when we got the lights on for the first time

2361
02:40:02,920 --> 02:40:04,120
in a World Series game.

2362
02:40:04,120 --> 02:40:09,400
And now Menno makes his first pitch relieving in the night to Cliff Mape the left hand hitter.

2363
02:40:09,400 --> 02:40:11,560
And it is called strike.

2364
02:40:11,560 --> 02:40:12,560
Menno left handed.

2365
02:40:12,560 --> 02:40:15,960
Mape the left hand hitter.

2366
02:40:15,960 --> 02:40:16,960
Over two today.

2367
02:40:16,960 --> 02:40:19,320
Takes a curve one there for call strike two.

2368
02:40:19,320 --> 02:40:20,320
Nothing in two.

2369
02:40:20,320 --> 02:40:25,680
So all the lights are on and it makes quite a difference.

2370
02:40:25,680 --> 02:40:29,920
Although the lights do not take as much effect with daylight as they do of course in complete

2371
02:40:29,920 --> 02:40:30,920
darkness.

2372
02:40:30,920 --> 02:40:32,760
But that will help.

2373
02:40:32,760 --> 02:40:34,720
It destroys the shadows.

2374
02:40:34,720 --> 02:40:39,040
Throw high outside.

2375
02:40:39,040 --> 02:40:45,360
That's a very sound decision by Commissioner Chandler because it not only adds to the efficiency

2376
02:40:45,360 --> 02:40:49,200
of the fairness of the game but it prevents any possible injury.

2377
02:40:49,200 --> 02:40:55,560
One and two pitch curves from on there's a high fly ball into left center field.

2378
02:40:55,560 --> 02:40:56,560
Starter coming over.

2379
02:40:56,560 --> 02:40:58,560
Wait left field almost over.

2380
02:40:58,560 --> 02:41:02,360
And the left fielder makes the catch.

2381
02:41:02,360 --> 02:41:04,560
So put out for left fielder Louis Olmo.

2382
02:41:04,560 --> 02:41:05,560
One up one away.

2383
02:41:05,560 --> 02:41:07,000
Top of the ninth.

2384
02:41:07,000 --> 02:41:11,400
The fans in the ballpark are remaining waiting to see if they will do something in the last

2385
02:41:11,400 --> 02:41:12,400
half of the ninth inning.

2386
02:41:12,400 --> 02:41:15,960
I imagine that's what you folks are doing listening to this Gillette broadcast.

2387
02:41:15,960 --> 02:41:21,320
Yankees ten and the Dodgers six.

2388
02:41:21,320 --> 02:41:28,760
Second baseman Jerry Coleman had a fine series right hand batter stepping in.

2389
02:41:28,760 --> 02:41:32,280
As hard as pitches throw the ball we're only 60 feet and six inches away.

2390
02:41:32,280 --> 02:41:40,520
When it begins to get dark in the ballpark it's very hazardous for a hitter.

2391
02:41:40,520 --> 02:41:42,560
Throw high inside.

2392
02:41:42,560 --> 02:41:43,560
Ball one.

2393
02:41:43,560 --> 02:41:46,560
One ball no strikes.

2394
02:41:46,560 --> 02:41:55,040
One out top of the ninth.

2395
02:41:55,040 --> 02:42:02,520
Minus Jerry leaning in pitches swung on file back.

2396
02:42:02,520 --> 02:42:06,160
One and one.

2397
02:42:06,160 --> 02:42:14,460
One away, nobody on.

2398
02:42:14,460 --> 02:42:20,940
Jerry leaning in.

2399
02:42:20,940 --> 02:42:24,640
Minus pitches a fastball too low two balls one strike.

2400
02:42:24,640 --> 02:42:29,960
Bill Dickey coaching it first, Hollis at the Coleman, get on that bag.

2401
02:42:29,960 --> 02:42:34,280
One of the perennial first base coaching war cries.

2402
02:42:34,280 --> 02:42:41,200
Two on pitch, swung on, drilled out into right center field.

2403
02:42:41,200 --> 02:42:44,160
There's Hemanci going back, the ball's hit over his head.

2404
02:42:44,160 --> 02:42:49,120
And there's Holman around, first base coming in a second, and stands up for a double.

2405
02:42:49,120 --> 02:42:50,720
So he's got one.

2406
02:42:50,720 --> 02:42:54,680
That gives him now a total of two hits today and five so far for the series.

2407
02:42:54,680 --> 02:42:57,520
He just moved right in as though he'd been playing in them all his life.

2408
02:42:57,520 --> 02:42:59,400
This happens to be his first.

2409
02:42:59,400 --> 02:43:02,400
And he's hit his base hits to all fields.

2410
02:43:02,400 --> 02:43:07,080
And now picture Page comes off.

2411
02:43:07,080 --> 02:43:11,840
That's the third double for Coleman as he stands down at second base.

2412
02:43:11,840 --> 02:43:19,840
One out, Page, a ten batter stepping in.

2413
02:43:19,840 --> 02:43:24,920
The Yankees, that gives them 11 hits and they have gotten at least one hit off of all six

2414
02:43:24,920 --> 02:43:25,920
of the Brooklyn pitches.

2415
02:43:25,920 --> 02:43:31,040
Got three off Bonnie, three off batter, two off Erskine, and one each off Hatton, Flicker,

2416
02:43:31,040 --> 02:43:32,040
and Armino.

2417
02:43:32,040 --> 02:43:35,040
Page takes a fastball in on his hands for ball one.

2418
02:43:35,040 --> 02:43:38,280
One ball, no strikes.

2419
02:43:38,280 --> 02:43:43,960
One gone.

2420
02:43:43,960 --> 02:43:44,960
I feel toward right.

2421
02:43:44,960 --> 02:43:46,640
I play him to pull.

2422
02:43:46,640 --> 02:43:48,600
So swings at the right back to the mound.

2423
02:43:48,600 --> 02:43:52,320
Minner runs Coleman back into second and throws over to first and pages out.

2424
02:43:52,320 --> 02:43:59,320
One to three if you score and he puts it at the first baseman.

2425
02:43:59,320 --> 02:44:04,120
Minner to Hodges, two men are gone and the batter is Phil Rizzuto.

2426
02:44:04,120 --> 02:44:09,040
Phil has not had a hit today.

2427
02:44:09,040 --> 02:44:13,880
The Yankee hits have been hogged by Brown and Woodley, each having three.

2428
02:44:13,880 --> 02:44:17,680
Coleman's had two.

2429
02:44:17,680 --> 02:44:20,360
Rizzuto swinging, foul tips it.

2430
02:44:20,360 --> 02:44:25,280
Overall, one strike.

2431
02:44:25,280 --> 02:44:30,560
New York 10, Brooklyn six.

2432
02:44:30,560 --> 02:44:38,280
Stengel, of course, would like to pick up this run.

2433
02:44:38,280 --> 02:44:41,960
Coleman represents his second, a little bit more on ninth inning insurance.

2434
02:44:41,960 --> 02:44:43,560
Fastball high outside for ball one.

2435
02:44:43,560 --> 02:44:45,560
One ball, one strike.

2436
02:44:45,560 --> 02:44:48,240
Rizzuto, tough man up there at the dish.

2437
02:44:48,240 --> 02:44:57,840
He's hard to get past.

2438
02:44:57,840 --> 02:44:59,640
Big tall left-hander delivers a slow curve.

2439
02:44:59,640 --> 02:45:02,960
Joe, line of the right field, Hermanski coming on and makes the catch to the line.

2440
02:45:02,960 --> 02:45:07,080
The ball is well-hipped, so that's all for that bit at the top of the ninth inning.

2441
02:45:07,080 --> 02:45:10,360
So here we are.

2442
02:45:10,360 --> 02:45:11,360
This is it.

2443
02:45:11,360 --> 02:45:12,360
Last half of the night.

2444
02:45:12,360 --> 02:45:17,040
The Yankees, 10 and the Dodgers, six.

2445
02:45:17,040 --> 02:45:21,800
Joe will know something definite in the next few minutes.

2446
02:45:21,800 --> 02:45:22,800
That's for certain.

2447
02:45:22,800 --> 02:45:28,400
What I was saying definite is a real pause, 10 seconds, for station identification.

2448
02:45:28,400 --> 02:45:32,000
This is the neutral broadcasting system.

2449
02:45:32,000 --> 02:45:35,120
Here is the World Series exclusively over WOR.

2450
02:45:35,120 --> 02:45:38,680
See it on WOR TV, Channel 9.

2451
02:45:38,680 --> 02:45:50,080
WOR and WORFM, New York.

2452
02:45:50,080 --> 02:45:52,160
Last half of the ninth inning.

2453
02:45:52,160 --> 02:45:56,920
And Eddie Nexus will hit for Jorgensen to get a right-hand batter up against left-hander

2454
02:45:56,920 --> 02:45:58,200
Joe Page, who's leaving.

2455
02:45:58,200 --> 02:46:00,440
There's nobody throwing in the Yankee bow pen.

2456
02:46:00,440 --> 02:46:06,800
Manager Stengel has complete confidence in Joe Page.

2457
02:46:06,800 --> 02:46:12,000
Nobody throwing in the Brooklyn bow pen and no reason to be until several fellows get

2458
02:46:12,000 --> 02:46:14,200
on base and score.

2459
02:46:14,200 --> 02:46:17,960
The Yankees, 10 and the Dodgers, six.

2460
02:46:17,960 --> 02:46:27,680
Now is this to be the new tomorrow or not?

2461
02:46:27,680 --> 02:46:32,160
Mixers who makes the 19th player that manager Schotten has committed to the ball game.

2462
02:46:32,160 --> 02:46:37,040
He's hitting for Jorgensen after the ninth inning.

2463
02:46:37,040 --> 02:46:40,400
Right-hand batter.

2464
02:46:40,400 --> 02:46:44,400
Hot deal around toward left.

2465
02:46:44,400 --> 02:46:46,440
Well Big Page, a Stengel's man.

2466
02:46:46,440 --> 02:46:53,120
He's got nobody behind him in the bow pen right now.

2467
02:46:53,120 --> 02:46:58,160
Joe sort of rubs his left arm across his nose.

2468
02:46:58,160 --> 02:47:01,720
Now looks down, takes a sign from Barra.

2469
02:47:01,720 --> 02:47:03,680
Pitches in the crouch.

2470
02:47:03,680 --> 02:47:09,800
And Page starts to pump and then decides that he won't pitch backs off.

2471
02:47:09,800 --> 02:47:12,400
Pitting isn't just right.

2472
02:47:12,400 --> 02:47:13,400
Lights are on.

2473
02:47:13,400 --> 02:47:14,400
Came on top of his ninth inning.

2474
02:47:14,400 --> 02:47:15,400
Throw.

2475
02:47:15,400 --> 02:47:16,400
Swung on.

2476
02:47:16,400 --> 02:47:17,400
Line drive.

2477
02:47:17,400 --> 02:47:18,400
In the left field for a base hit.

2478
02:47:18,400 --> 02:47:19,400
It'll be for two.

2479
02:47:19,400 --> 02:47:20,400
There's Mixers around first base.

2480
02:47:20,400 --> 02:47:22,400
The ball kicking around in left.

2481
02:47:22,400 --> 02:47:25,400
And there's Mixers coming in a second with a whistling double.

2482
02:47:25,400 --> 02:47:32,400
The shooter runs out to the left and brings the ball in.

2483
02:47:32,400 --> 02:47:39,600
Well Eddie Mixers opens up with a line drive double.

2484
02:47:39,600 --> 02:47:44,360
And Jim Turner, Alan Orta, for manager Stengel, motions down to the bow pen for a right-hander.

2485
02:47:44,360 --> 02:47:49,040
So there's going to be somebody throwing down in back of Page now.

2486
02:47:49,040 --> 02:47:50,560
And Duke Snider is at the plate.

2487
02:47:50,560 --> 02:47:52,560
He's had hits his last two times up.

2488
02:47:52,560 --> 02:47:53,960
Two for four.

2489
02:47:53,960 --> 02:47:58,720
And Ali Reynolds, a pitching star for the Yankees, is in the bow pen drawing.

2490
02:47:58,720 --> 02:48:03,840
There's a curve outside to Snider.

2491
02:48:03,840 --> 02:48:08,880
Ten to six.

2492
02:48:08,880 --> 02:48:09,880
Faber, New York.

2493
02:48:09,880 --> 02:48:13,600
Mixers has opened up with a pinch and double last half of the ninth inning.

2494
02:48:13,600 --> 02:48:15,040
Snider at the plate.

2495
02:48:15,040 --> 02:48:18,040
The Yankees stood to be.

2496
02:48:18,040 --> 02:48:19,600
Page pitches and Snider swings him.

2497
02:48:19,600 --> 02:48:22,800
This is a fastball in down around his knees.

2498
02:48:22,800 --> 02:48:23,800
He went after it.

2499
02:48:23,800 --> 02:48:24,800
One ball, one strike.

2500
02:48:24,800 --> 02:48:29,800
Snider to be followed by Robinson, a man's key.

2501
02:48:29,800 --> 02:48:39,000
Arjun is at the back from the batting order.

2502
02:48:39,000 --> 02:48:41,480
Fort Frick, National League president, looking on in Kepler.

2503
02:48:41,480 --> 02:48:43,760
Looking over there with Mrs. Frick.

2504
02:48:43,760 --> 02:48:44,760
Back of the Brooklyn dog out.

2505
02:48:44,760 --> 02:48:47,760
There's a curveball in to Snider.

2506
02:48:47,760 --> 02:48:49,760
One and two.

2507
02:48:49,760 --> 02:48:51,760
One ball, two strikes.

2508
02:48:51,760 --> 02:48:58,760
Mixers not getting very far off second base.

2509
02:48:58,760 --> 02:49:07,760
Ali Reynolds throwing in the bow pen for New York.

2510
02:49:07,760 --> 02:49:09,760
Snider swings him.

2511
02:49:09,760 --> 02:49:12,760
This is for strike three.

2512
02:49:12,760 --> 02:49:17,560
And thus Snider in a five game series has now struck out eight nines.

2513
02:49:17,560 --> 02:49:22,760
And this ties the World Series record for the most strikeouts in an eight game series.

2514
02:49:22,760 --> 02:49:31,280
It was originally set by Rogers Harnsdon.

2515
02:49:31,280 --> 02:49:32,800
Robinson at the plate.

2516
02:49:32,800 --> 02:49:37,080
And Stengel steps out in front of the Yankee bench, gets the attention of the infield and

2517
02:49:37,080 --> 02:49:41,680
Page to caution against the bunt for a base hit.

2518
02:49:41,680 --> 02:49:46,120
Robinson swings and follows the ball on top of the stand out of play.

2519
02:49:46,120 --> 02:49:52,880
No balls, one strike.

2520
02:49:52,880 --> 02:50:03,200
At the O, round to at last.

2521
02:50:03,200 --> 02:50:04,200
Page works.

2522
02:50:04,200 --> 02:50:06,600
Robinson swings a high foul back on the screen.

2523
02:50:06,600 --> 02:50:07,600
Nothing in to.

2524
02:50:07,600 --> 02:50:09,600
No balls, two strikes.

2525
02:50:09,600 --> 02:50:10,600
Yankee ten.

2526
02:50:10,600 --> 02:50:11,600
The Dodgers six.

2527
02:50:11,600 --> 02:50:13,880
Mixers at second, one out.

2528
02:50:13,880 --> 02:50:16,560
Back to the ninth inning.

2529
02:50:16,560 --> 02:50:21,920
Lights are on for the first time in the history of World Series play.

2530
02:50:21,920 --> 02:50:26,880
Mr. Chandler after conferring with the two senior umpires has been turned on.

2531
02:50:26,880 --> 02:50:35,080
Excellent move is getting dark inside the park itself.

2532
02:50:35,080 --> 02:50:37,080
Mixers just standing down on second.

2533
02:50:37,080 --> 02:50:38,080
Page delivers.

2534
02:50:38,080 --> 02:50:43,600
Robinson swings and there's a nubbed foul ball into the third base band.

2535
02:50:43,600 --> 02:50:45,560
The ball was in on Jack's hands.

2536
02:50:45,560 --> 02:50:47,560
No balls, two strikes.

2537
02:50:47,560 --> 02:50:50,520
And Page bowing down.

2538
02:50:50,520 --> 02:50:56,160
This is one of his most important ballistic assignments.

2539
02:50:56,160 --> 02:51:00,600
Reynolds who pitched the shot out and won the first game, one to nothing, nailed down

2540
02:51:00,600 --> 02:51:05,720
The last ten Dodgers yesterday, is throwing in the bullpen for the Yankees.

2541
02:51:05,720 --> 02:51:07,120
Stengel isn't worried about tomorrow.

2542
02:51:07,120 --> 02:51:08,120
He doesn't want any tomorrow.

2543
02:51:08,120 --> 02:51:09,120
He wants it today.

2544
02:51:09,120 --> 02:51:10,120
Throw.

2545
02:51:10,120 --> 02:51:11,120
Swung on hand.

2546
02:51:11,120 --> 02:51:12,120
Missed.

2547
02:51:12,120 --> 02:51:15,120
Robinson tries to check his swing and can't.

2548
02:51:15,120 --> 02:51:16,120
He's stuck out.

2549
02:51:16,120 --> 02:51:23,040
There was a dancing curveball on the outside that got him and Page is bowing down.

2550
02:51:23,040 --> 02:51:24,040
He's rolling.

2551
02:51:24,040 --> 02:51:28,960
And the Yankees who hold the record of course for teams getting in the World Series the

2552
02:51:28,960 --> 02:51:34,120
most frequently, winning the most World Series games, the most World Series titles, are trying

2553
02:51:34,120 --> 02:51:38,720
to in their sixteenth series, nail down their fifty-fifth series victory and their twelfth

2554
02:51:38,720 --> 02:51:39,720
series one.

2555
02:51:39,720 --> 02:51:41,720
They're only one out away from it.

2556
02:51:41,720 --> 02:51:45,480
Gene Hermanski up and takes a curveball over.

2557
02:51:45,480 --> 02:51:52,040
All strike.

2558
02:51:52,040 --> 02:51:54,080
That field step toward right.

2559
02:51:54,080 --> 02:51:57,080
Ten to six favor New York.

2560
02:51:57,080 --> 02:51:58,080
Throw.

2561
02:51:58,080 --> 02:52:05,680
Swung on and fouled off into the stands back at third base.

2562
02:52:05,680 --> 02:52:06,680
Mobile.

2563
02:52:06,680 --> 02:52:07,680
All two strikes.

2564
02:52:07,680 --> 02:52:22,640
Well, this is the third meeting between the Yankees and the Dodgers in the ball classic

2565
02:52:22,640 --> 02:52:27,120
and they'll be meeting tomorrow.

2566
02:52:27,120 --> 02:52:34,800
Both great farm assistants.

2567
02:52:34,800 --> 02:52:38,200
Gene Hermanski holding a club down by the end, the Dodgers down to the last strike of

2568
02:52:38,200 --> 02:52:39,200
their last out.

2569
02:52:39,200 --> 02:52:42,200
Sterling Buffer with a man at second.

2570
02:52:42,200 --> 02:52:43,200
Page.

2571
02:52:43,200 --> 02:52:48,200
Climax relief pitcher in the trade these days.

2572
02:52:48,200 --> 02:52:50,800
Trying to fondly put the Yankees in the clubhouse victorious.

2573
02:52:50,800 --> 02:52:51,800
Let's see.

2574
02:52:51,800 --> 02:52:55,720
They pitch too low under the knees and it is ball one.

2575
02:52:55,720 --> 02:52:58,720
One ball, two strikes.

2576
02:52:58,720 --> 02:53:02,720
One and two.

2577
02:53:02,720 --> 02:53:10,440
Hermanski square stands.

2578
02:53:10,440 --> 02:53:13,360
Reynolds begins easing up.

2579
02:53:13,360 --> 02:53:18,000
Throwing down to Nahos in the bullpen for New York.

2580
02:53:18,000 --> 02:53:24,880
Page, there is a sign.

2581
02:53:24,880 --> 02:53:25,880
Big fellow ready.

2582
02:53:25,880 --> 02:53:26,880
Delivers.

2583
02:53:26,880 --> 02:53:27,880
A curve low.

2584
02:53:27,880 --> 02:53:28,880
Ball two.

2585
02:53:28,880 --> 02:53:30,880
Ball game is still alive.

2586
02:53:30,880 --> 02:53:36,840
Two balls, two strikes.

2587
02:53:36,840 --> 02:53:38,320
The count is two and two.

2588
02:53:38,320 --> 02:53:40,320
Two men are gone.

2589
02:53:40,320 --> 02:53:43,160
Page takes out a big red bandana.

2590
02:53:43,160 --> 02:53:48,320
Maps the beads of perspiration off of his face.

2591
02:53:48,320 --> 02:53:50,720
Now he steps down the mound.

2592
02:53:50,720 --> 02:53:53,520
Looks down with those cold blue eyes of his.

2593
02:53:53,520 --> 02:53:56,480
Take the sign from Stocky Crouch.

2594
02:53:56,480 --> 02:53:57,480
Yogi Barrow.

2595
02:53:57,480 --> 02:53:59,480
Catch your back to the plate.

2596
02:53:59,480 --> 02:54:02,720
Page is still standing in second after opening up the last of the night with a pinch hit

2597
02:54:02,720 --> 02:54:03,720
double.

2598
02:54:03,720 --> 02:54:08,920
Two to a pitch.

2599
02:54:08,920 --> 02:54:09,920
Just low outside.

2600
02:54:09,920 --> 02:54:12,600
Just missing and Page a little bit unhappy about that decision.

2601
02:54:12,600 --> 02:54:15,680
It's a four count of three and two.

2602
02:54:15,680 --> 02:54:18,680
Three balls, two strikes.

2603
02:54:18,680 --> 02:54:24,480
Three and two.

2604
02:54:24,480 --> 02:54:25,480
Page on the mound.

2605
02:54:25,480 --> 02:54:26,480
Works three and two.

2606
02:54:26,480 --> 02:54:27,480
Ball four.

2607
02:54:27,480 --> 02:54:30,480
And Hransky walks off to first to go.

2608
02:54:30,480 --> 02:54:31,480
First ball.

2609
02:54:31,480 --> 02:54:34,480
First ball given up by Joe Page.

2610
02:54:34,480 --> 02:54:37,360
And Gil Hodges walks to the plate.

2611
02:54:37,360 --> 02:54:40,560
Big strapping first baseman to the home run.

2612
02:54:40,560 --> 02:54:46,800
With two on to get Rashie out of the game and get the Dodgers up to then four runs behind.

2613
02:54:46,800 --> 02:54:49,400
They've won it one time trailing by nine.

2614
02:54:49,400 --> 02:54:53,960
The ball game remains as it was since Hodges last swung that bat for the home run.

2615
02:54:53,960 --> 02:54:54,960
Ten to six.

2616
02:54:54,960 --> 02:54:59,560
The tying rod is Roy Ormore waiting on deck.

2617
02:54:59,560 --> 02:55:00,560
Ten to six New York.

2618
02:55:00,560 --> 02:55:01,560
Two men on.

2619
02:55:01,560 --> 02:55:05,960
Hodges takes a high curve ball for a ball one.

2620
02:55:05,960 --> 02:55:10,960
And Reynolds is now throwing steadily in the bullpen.

2621
02:55:10,960 --> 02:55:13,160
Stengel jumps to the front of his dugout again.

2622
02:55:13,160 --> 02:55:16,840
Boy he's acting like a flea with a hot foot.

2623
02:55:16,840 --> 02:55:20,240
Moves third baseman Brown a little deeper.

2624
02:55:20,240 --> 02:55:21,880
The one and oh pitch.

2625
02:55:21,880 --> 02:55:25,080
In there for a call strike.

2626
02:55:25,080 --> 02:55:27,920
There's a fast ball.

2627
02:55:27,920 --> 02:55:32,240
One ball one strike.

2628
02:55:32,240 --> 02:55:38,120
Page in a set position delivers outside a fast ball for ball two.

2629
02:55:38,120 --> 02:55:39,920
And Page hollers on the decision on that one.

2630
02:55:39,920 --> 02:55:42,920
He didn't like it.

2631
02:55:42,920 --> 02:55:45,320
Two balls one strike.

2632
02:55:45,320 --> 02:55:56,280
Boy that tension is closing in.

2633
02:55:56,280 --> 02:55:57,280
Hodges under orders of course.

2634
02:55:57,280 --> 02:55:58,280
The manager shot and pitched by pitch.

2635
02:55:58,280 --> 02:55:59,280
The two one pitch.

2636
02:55:59,280 --> 02:56:02,280
He swung on a high foul back out of play on the screen.

2637
02:56:02,280 --> 02:56:03,280
It's now two and two.

2638
02:56:03,280 --> 02:56:08,280
Two balls two strikes.

2639
02:56:08,280 --> 02:56:10,520
Page again with that red bandana.

2640
02:56:10,520 --> 02:56:13,240
Now Stengel walking down to the water cooler.

2641
02:56:13,240 --> 02:56:24,440
A wobbling familiar walk of his.

2642
02:56:24,440 --> 02:56:25,440
Two balls two strikes.

2643
02:56:25,440 --> 02:56:28,000
Stengel standing up he's not even sitting down.

2644
02:56:28,000 --> 02:56:31,000
The two two pitch is swung on in this strike three.

2645
02:56:31,000 --> 02:56:34,000
And the Yankees are champions again.

2646
02:56:34,000 --> 02:56:38,040
For the twelfth time the Yankees are champions of the world.

2647
02:56:38,040 --> 02:56:40,440
And Joe Page is being surrounded by his teammates.

2648
02:56:40,440 --> 02:56:43,560
Casey Stengel out there and I shake him out of hand.

2649
02:56:43,560 --> 02:56:49,760
And so I guess the story right now is Casey Stengel who was with the first played in the

2650
02:56:49,760 --> 02:56:53,840
very first game in this ballpark at Ebbets Field in 1913.

2651
02:56:53,840 --> 02:56:59,080
It was a long time but he comes back as manager of the world champion New York Yankees.

2652
02:56:59,080 --> 02:57:02,080
So that does do it.

2653
02:57:02,080 --> 02:57:03,560
That wraps it up.

2654
02:57:03,560 --> 02:57:05,520
So that's all for that one.

2655
02:57:05,520 --> 02:57:08,920
I'd like to congratulate both ball clubs.

2656
02:57:08,920 --> 02:57:14,920
I'd like to congratulate the work of the umpires on the handling of the game by Commissioner

2657
02:57:14,920 --> 02:57:17,080
Chandler and his staff.

2658
02:57:17,080 --> 02:57:23,960
And without further ado Mel it's nice to work with you and congratulations on your assignment.

2659
02:57:23,960 --> 02:57:26,360
Give my best to Stengel and the Yankees.

2660
02:57:26,360 --> 02:57:29,800
The Yankees champions of the world in 1949.

2661
02:57:29,800 --> 02:57:36,600
Winning it four out of five and finishing with Joe Page artistically nailing it down.

2662
02:57:36,600 --> 02:57:37,600
Okay Mel here you are.

2663
02:57:37,600 --> 02:57:38,600
Best of luck.

2664
02:57:38,600 --> 02:57:40,960
Thank you very much Red.

2665
02:57:40,960 --> 02:57:46,640
And again let me just say that it was a tremendous pleasure as it always is and I hope that we'll

2666
02:57:46,640 --> 02:57:49,920
have the opportunity of working together again in the future.

2667
02:57:49,920 --> 02:57:57,120
And so the Yankees win their 12th world's championship in 16 series in which they have

2668
02:57:57,120 --> 02:58:04,280
participated and that is the fourth time that they have won a world's championship in five

2669
02:58:04,280 --> 02:58:05,280
games.

2670
02:58:05,280 --> 02:58:11,920
The totals, the Yankees 10 runs 11 hits, one error nine left on.

2671
02:58:11,920 --> 02:58:15,080
The Dodgers six runs 11 hits, two errors and nine men left on.

2672
02:58:15,080 --> 02:58:21,440
Vic Grasci is credited with the win his first world series victory while the loser is Rex

2673
02:58:21,440 --> 02:58:24,320
Barney his second defeat he has won one.

2674
02:58:24,320 --> 02:58:29,960
Banta Erskine, Hatton, Fulican, Minner in relief and Joe Page you might call that a

2675
02:58:29,960 --> 02:58:31,600
bit of poetic justice in the way.

2676
02:58:31,600 --> 02:58:37,040
Joe Page the big guy who had so much to do with the Yankees winning the pennant as he

2677
02:58:37,040 --> 02:58:41,480
came in over 60 ball games in the course of the year in relief and was one of the key

2678
02:58:41,480 --> 02:58:48,040
figures so much so that he is one of the few pitchers who have ever been considered in

2679
02:58:48,040 --> 02:58:51,920
The voting for the most valuable player award.

2680
02:58:51,920 --> 02:58:56,320
And as you always say it's just a shame when you get two great ball clips together that

2681
02:58:56,320 --> 02:58:58,440
there must be one of them that will lose.

2682
02:58:58,440 --> 02:59:02,760
So hats off to them both we hope that you enjoyed this world series.

2683
02:59:02,760 --> 02:59:08,680
This is Mel Allen saying smooth sailing, smooth shaving and good afternoon from your host

2684
02:59:08,680 --> 02:59:32,120
The Gillette Sink to Razor Company and Red Barber.
