00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:16,000
The Cincinnati Reds faced the Oakland A's at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum for Game 3 of the 1972 World Series on October 18th.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:26,000
The A's led the best of seven series, two games to none, and this is the NBC Radio broadcast of Game 3 featuring announcers Jim Simpson and Al Michaels.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The lineup first for the Cincinnati Reds, Steve Rose leads off in left field.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Gil Morgan at second base. Bobby Tolan in center field.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Johnny Bench-Catchings hitting fourth.

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Tony Perez at first base.

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Dennis Menke at third base.

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Stacey Geronimo in right field hitting seventh.

10
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
The shortstop, Darrell Cheney.

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And the pitcher, right-hander Jack Billingham.

12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
For the Oakland A's, Bert Campanaris leads off at shortstop.

13
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Mattie Allou in right.

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Joe Rudy in left.

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Mike Epstein in first base.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Sal Vando at third base hitting sixth.

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Right now, the governor of California, the honorable Ronald Reagan, is getting set to throw out the first ball.

18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Gene Tennis will make the catch, and a wild throw by Reagan.

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Heading out towards center field over the head of center.

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
George Hendrick will hit sixth.

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Hendrick in center.

22
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Gene Tennis will do the catching.

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Dick Green at second base.

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
John Blue Moon Odom, the pitcher, he really takes the field.

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
And we far 10 seconds for station identification.

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Lots of people watching on the left of the ball game.

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Danfield Freeway backs up at 12th Avenue.

28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And the interstate northbound backs up at the Fremont Bridge.

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Jay Cullen, KGWE Portland.

30
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
The plate on fire tonight is Mel Steiner.

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Mike Humon is at first base.

32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Bob Engel at second base.

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Phil Haller at third.

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Chris Pelletutis down the left of your line.

35
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Jim Connachick down the right of your line.

36
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
And here is Tuckham, Blue Moon Odom.

37
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Shock toward the mound.

38
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Getting better, loosing up.

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Pete Rose will lead off for the Cincinnati Reds in the first inning.

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
The Oakland A's on top two games to nothing.

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Game three of the 1972 World Series.

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
And with a play-by-play, here is Jim Simpson.

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Alan, this time that we've had off, and in the two surprise victories,

44
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
we say a surprise only because Oakland was the decisive underdog.

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
It jumped out to the last two games to non-league.

46
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
And the travel day we had and the day off we had because of the rainouts,

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
we began to wonder, we began to wonder whether or not the Oakland Athletics,

48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
a young ball club in its first World Series,

49
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
the A's would go back through history here in Oakland, in Kansas City,

50
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
and back to Philadelphia, go all the way back to 1941, their last series appearance.

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
If one of this young ball clubs, with a two games to non-league,

52
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
will have that kind of tenacity, that kind of search for the juggler vein,

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
they go ahead and put this away out here in Oakland.

54
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Turn it around.

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Cincinnati all year long has been a fine ball club.

56
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Some say if the Pittsburgh Pirates are not the best club in baseball,

57
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
the Cincinnati Reds are.

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
The Reds beat the Pirates.

59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
The Reds have been a very fast, aggressive, base-running ball club.

60
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
And so if they were to get back in, and fairly two games to none as they are,

61
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
you've got to look for that kind of baseball.

62
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
But because of so much rain, the in-field and the out-field are both very slow.

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
So there's another question for you.

64
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Can the Reds put together the kind of ball, aggressive baseball, they would like to?

65
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Will the field hold them down?

66
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Now John Grewmore told them, if the right-hander pitcher changes the, even on his fastball,

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000
and I don't mean the straight change, he'll take just that much off the fastball.

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
He's got a dandy curve.

69
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
He's got a fastball that rides in on the right-handers.

70
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
It looks like a through ball, but it's a fastball.

71
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
And he's got another fastball that would go in toward the left-hander.

72
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
And also a fastball, not a slider.

73
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Pete Rose, the flick hitter, hit 307 on the season, steps in.

74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Rose has won for a cluster walk.

75
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
And Odom's first hit, Banderlyn on the grass, is a high fastball, ball one.

76
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Odom, in his last three shots, going back to the regular season,

77
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
over 19 innings, there's only about one unearned run, eight hits.

78
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,000
And in the playoff, he defeated Detroit 5-0 and 2-1.

79
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Ready for the second pitch to Rose, this is another high fastball,

80
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000
and Odom is a thinking fastball-type pitcher.

81
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
But he's showing his nerve again.

82
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Those of you who have followed the playoff, remember that at the end of five innings in Detroit,

83
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
in the final game, Odom took himself out.

84
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
He became nauseous with the tension.

85
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
He's thrown two fastballs to the crowd thinking Rose.

86
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Tennis is down low, and there's the pitch.

87
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
It's got to be outside cover.

88
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
That's a fastball that drives in on the right-hander and rolls away from the left-hander to Rose.

89
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
On deck is Joe Morgan.

90
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Bander remains in on the grass at third.

91
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Outfield plays a round on the left.

92
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Low-pitched with three balls, one strike.

93
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Now Odom pitches from behind a lot.

94
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
That is, he is down three and one, and three and two.

95
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
A Hall of Famer by the name of Early Wind used to like to pitch from behind,

96
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000
thinking that everybody's getting fastballed, and that's when he comes in with a breaking pitch.

97
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
And as him hits the pitch, he wants him to hit.

98
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
He had one.

99
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Odom right-back, round ball to the foul of the third baseline, and Bander picks it up.

100
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
They mention that Rose has one great puck to walk.

101
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Rose, Morgan, and Coler, in 25-times at bat, have been on base five-times, twice by walk,

102
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,000
once on an error, and only twice by base hit.

103
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000
As Al Michael said, Johnny Bentz, leader in RBIs and home runs, has come up six times

104
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
in great appearances with nobody on his red-off.

105
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:14,000
The three-two pitch ready, and back with the pitch, Coler.

106
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Well, there's Blue Moon Odom loving to pitch from behind, and he got Rose looking for a pitch

107
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000
that he didn't get.

108
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000
He got a fastball right down the middle.

109
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Joe Morgan shifts in.

110
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
And the Cincinnati Reds say that if Johnny Bentz is not the most valuable player in the

111
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
National League, this fella certainly should be.

112
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Morgan hit.992 on the year, left the majors with 115 walks and 122 runs.

113
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,000
But he is 0-for-6, plus the walk, and reaching on an error in the World Series.

114
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
And he is 0-for-11 in his last three games.

115
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Fastball kept him in the outside corner.

116
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Morgan, like Coler, in the follow, he's waiting on Jeff Alexander.

117
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Now, score one out top of the first, and just begun the third game of the World Series in

118
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,000
no-suit.

119
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
We see no rain anywhere around.

120
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Odom working fast now, getting a little confidence off.

121
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
He takes his up-high.

122
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
And it's one ball, one strike to Morgan.

123
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Morgan came over that trade from Houston, which sent Lee May and Tommy Helms, among others,

124
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,000
to Houston and brought Morgan and Dillingham to nice pictures among over here.

125
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,000
High and away, and far outside, Gene Kenneth to catch the catch-up, and Odom wants to do

126
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
baseball, two balls, one strike.

127
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Now, Kennedy to first base, victory down to second.

128
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Merck Campanera to shortstop.

129
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Sal Bando to third base.

130
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
And your Rudy in left, George Hendricks, 23 years old today, out on center field.

131
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Maddie Lewitt-Wrightfield and Gene Kenneth, the one-a-ball game with two home runs behind

132
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
the plate.

133
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Odom ready on the 2-1 pitch.

134
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000
The fast ball is too high, and it's three balls and one strike.

135
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Odom went three and one on Rose, and then keeps the two called strikes.

136
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Well, check that foul ball up the third base line to strike two, and then to call strike three.

137
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Three and one pitch comes in swinging the net on a thinking fast ball.

138
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
They've all two strikes to Morgan.

139
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
The Reds remember if they ever get back into this series, and they feel they can, must

140
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:18,000
be Rose, Morgan, and Odom on base.

141
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Odom is standing on deck swinging the bat.

142
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
The three and two, Bando backs up a bit of third base.

143
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Swing and a miss on another thinking pitch.

144
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
And Odom has struck out the first two.

145
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,000
I think Jimmy could probably count on one hand the number of times this season that Rose

146
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
and Morgan have struck out back-to-back.

147
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
That'll bring up Bobby Tolan.

148
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,000
A lot of things said, and it always is, around an all-star game or a world series about the

149
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000
superiority or the lack of superiority of the National League.

150
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000
They talk about either league.

151
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
And the American Lakers, up two games to none, and taking full cognizance of the fact that

152
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Rose, Morgan, and Tolan are fine ball players, just say they're going against the pitching

153
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000
staff the likes of which they never saw throughout the National League season.

154
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000
That's just an argument going on.

155
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Tolan hits the first pitch, Johnson up the middle, hop off.

156
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Odom has it, crosses it out, and it's an easy one-two-three inning for Blue Moon Odom and

157
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
the Oakland A's.

158
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
The Golden Lots to the first.

159
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,000
There's no score.

160
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Hello.

161
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Hello, Mr. Gilbert.

162
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
This is Ms. Ramsey.

163
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
I'm conducting a survey.

164
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Would you mind answering a few questions about air travel?

165
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
I'd be glad to.

166
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000
That airline can fund your reservation in three seconds.

167
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Delta.

168
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
And which airline delivers your bags in an average of seven minutes after you land?

169
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Delta.

170
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Can you name an airline that flies the wide-ride jet to 747 and soon the DC-10?

171
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Delta.

172
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,000
That airline is known as the airline run by professionals.

173
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Delta.

174
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Which airline offers total service?

175
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Delta.

176
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Does the airline you fly most often accept the American Express money card and does it

177
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,000
let you extend payment for airfare on the American Express money card sign and fly

178
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000
sign?

179
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Delta does.

180
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Which airline do you plan to fly on your next trip?

181
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Would you like to take a guess?

182
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Delta does.

183
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Now, Michael is with Gil Simpson back at the Oakland Coliseum.

184
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
The Reds did not score in the first.

185
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000
The A's will come up.

186
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Jack Sillingham working for the Reds.

187
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Tinkerball pitcher, slider, good control, came over in the deal from Newton, led the staff

188
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000
in almost every department this season simply because he was just about the only man to

189
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
be in the rotation all season long.

190
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Gary Nolan had his problems and was in and out.

191
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Don Gullick was six-goal out.

192
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
But Sillingham started almost every five days.

193
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
There was a brief time at the beginning of the year when he resigned of the rotation.

194
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
He started more games than any other Reds 31.

195
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
He was 12 and 12 with a 3-1 ADRA.

196
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Here's Jeff.

197
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,000
All right, now, Kampy Kampenow leads it off against the right-hander, Sillingham.

198
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Three-quarter motion, it's flying south on the right-field line and is well dropped by

199
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
one of the Cincinnati Bullpen men who did not have a glove on.

200
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Strike one to Kampenow.

201
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Kampenow, for those of you listening around the world that may not have heard,

202
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
descended for the playoffs.

203
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
They're throwing a bat at the first pitch to Laren LaGrove.

204
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
He's allowed to play again in the 4-0 series.

205
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
He'll be suspended for the first week of next year as further punitive.

206
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000
No score, breaking pitch.

207
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
It's curveball for him by Sillingham and he's playing it in this, it's a strike two.

208
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
0-1 to Kampenow, it's Matty Allou on deck.

209
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000
No score, last for the first, the third game, Oakland won the first two in the year, the

210
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
69th World Series.

211
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Sillingham takes it all, 6-4, comes back with a breaking pitch and Kampenow strikes out 3.

212
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Now both pitches shut off the strikeouts, but for Sillingham, it only took him three pitches.

213
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Matty Allou has been around the national league for a long while, 1-7 best of five.

214
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:14,000
He has walked and stolen a base and of course came over to the Oakland A's from the St.

215
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Louis Cardinals late in the season, so he has seen Jack Sillingham a lot.

216
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Matty Allou is a fastball pitcher, so we would look for the breaking ball from Sillingham

217
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000
to Matty Allou, left-handed batter.

218
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Sillingham looks down to Johnny Ventsen, catches it for the side.

219
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Allou waits.

220
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Sillingham ready.

221
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Throw's a fastball, but it's too low.

222
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Tony Perez at first base, Joe Morgan the second baseman, Darrell Ganius shortstop,

223
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Dennis Menke at third, Steve Rose out on left, Bobby Holden in center, Cesar Geronimo in

224
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
right, Banks has just flashed his sign to Sillingham, is right back with a breaking

225
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
curve that stays outside and low.

226
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
2-0 now.

227
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Matty Allou.

228
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Dennis Menke in on the grass at third, whereas in Cincinnati, it is almost fully

229
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,000
carpeted, artificially so here at the regulation baseball field, nothing but green and wet

230
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
and soggy grass as a result of 10 days of rain.

231
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Fastball and Allou's swinging and misses.

232
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Sillingham one strike.

233
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:23,000
On deck is Joe Rudy.

234
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Sillingham set again and ready to throw, throws a fastball and Allou swings and misses

235
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
again.

236
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
C-ball two strikes.

237
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,000
As we came in today in Sallio, the mule mascot of the ultimate of things roided around and

238
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
a helicopter was hovering over the field to dry it out.

239
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Someone said, where have you ever been to a World Series?

240
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,000
In the newspaper, it's in a helicopter, copter and a mule.

241
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Answer nowhere.

242
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Changes on this one and Allou just gets a little piece of it and fouls it off behind the

243
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
catcher, Johnny Banks.

244
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
C-ball two strikes.

245
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Sillingham took a lot off that pitch.

246
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
He is well rested.

247
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Last pitch on our show, the eighth, got 10 days ago.

248
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Rose, Logan and Solomon went down in order.

249
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Sillingham's trying to do the same thing, fastball outside, to the top three of Oakland.

250
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Now, Sillingham, who's got Cappner swinging on three pitches, has gone the full count to

251
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Mattie Allou.

252
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Three balls, two strikes, comes back and throws him the fastball.

253
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Cappner came with short stuff up with his toes on the first and has Allou by five at

254
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000
six steps.

255
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
That will bring up Joe Rudy.

256
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Glad the American Legion hits this year with 181 and a home run that won a ball game on

257
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Sunday afternoon and also made a superb test on a line drive hit by Dennis McGee in the

258
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,000
last of the ninth of that second game that saved a possible tie and a possible win by

259
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Cincinnati.

260
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,000
It's turned it right around and it's an Oakland home leading two games tonight.

261
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Rudy with a closed pass, right-handed batter, and he gets the breaking pitch on the outside

262
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
corner or strike one.

263
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Two outs in the Oakland first.

264
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Sillingham has a three-quarter motion.

265
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Kind of cuts that fastball across the plate, trying to get that outside corner.

266
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Rudy stepped out for the moment.

267
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Cappner struck out swinging.

268
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Allou has run about and Rudy standing in with a one-ball, one-strike count.

269
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Just coming off that place he's hitting.

270
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
He swings him making just one ball, two strikes.

271
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Alderman Sillingham getting off to impressive size.

272
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
They very well could be nervous if they don't look it.

273
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,000
He'll throw it.

274
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
He's got the ball around the plate.

275
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Back and ready with the fastball right down the middle, and Rudy is called out on strikes.

276
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
And Sillingham took out two of the first three he met as Jib Blue moved out of them.

277
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000
But the end of one.

278
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
It is Cincinnati nothing, Oakland nothing.

279
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Hi, I'm Johnny Bench for Ankle Windshield Wipers.

280
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,000
You know a good baseball manager realizes just when to make a change in order to be a

281
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,000
winner.

282
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
It's the same thing with windshield wiper blades.

283
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,000
When they're streaking and burring or driving, you've got more to lose than a ballgame.

284
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Just send those streakers to the showers and replace them with a new pair of Ankle Wiper

285
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Blades.

286
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
They're in the big yellow Ankle cabinet you see in service stations everywhere.

287
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000
And don't settle for anything less.

288
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Get the big league jobs.

289
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Ankle Wiper Blades by Anderson.

290
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:28,000
One of the most important parts of every new car is made of paper, the owner's manual.

291
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,000
This year the owner's manual for almost all the new cars are recommending a low octane

292
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
gasoline like Gulf Tain.

293
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000
What they don't tell you is that Gulf Tain costs even less than Gulf Regular.

294
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
And it has the performance additive package you'd expect from Gulf.

295
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Check your owner's manual and try a tank full of Gulf Tain.

296
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,000
A low cost gasoline for a new car.

297
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:04,000
The doors are closed at second inning.

298
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Now you have to wonder about the time of day and the effect it is having.

299
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
The lights are on but they have taken very little effect and it's no secret that it's

300
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,000
probably harder to hit at this time of day than at any other time.

301
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
The players don't like to come up.

302
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Everybody except the pitchers that is.

303
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
And certainly the first inning was the pitchers.

304
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Johnny Bench will lead it off for the seventh time and nine world tours at that to 1972

305
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
as the leadoff man.

306
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
They've kept the men in front of them from getting on base.

307
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:39,000
And there's a fastball up high from Odom.

308
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Bench has had three hits.

309
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000
He's walked twice and scored two of the three runs that the Reds have scored in the first

310
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
two games.

311
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Odom ready again with a one ball one strike hit.

312
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
He's down low and away and dug out of the dirt by Dean Sender-Sicekki.

313
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,000
The last six games of that extends back to that great playoff series, Cincinnati-Edwards

314
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
and Pittsburgh-Pierce.

315
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:06,000
The last six games, Johnny Bench is hitting at a 429-foot.

316
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Odom's tearing in.

317
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Jeff Bench 2-0.

318
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Back and throws and Bench fouls it off to the right and it's more of a dugout and bounds

319
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000
off the dugout roof from the Cincinnati Reds down the first base line and back up to the

320
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000
three.

321
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Two balls, one strike.

322
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Bench led the Baltimore Ligon home runs with 40.

323
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,000
RBI is 125.

324
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000
He's only twice come to bat in this series with a man on base.

325
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Two balls, one strike.

326
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000
No score.

327
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Odom back and throws.

328
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Ground ball.

329
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Fourth third base.

330
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Bando there.

331
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Long throw and has him by 20-32.

332
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Odom has retired to first form and he is safe and that brings up Tony Perez.

333
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Perez has had a pretty good series and Perez is intimidated.

334
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
That's his center and finally what about the demise of unearned, the last of the ninth

335
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
of the game, second game.

336
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Perez is hitting very well.

337
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Four for seven.

338
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,000
1970.

339
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
He had one hit in 18 times at that.

340
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
1972 in the World Series.

341
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Four for seven.

342
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Odom throws and the breaking ball.

343
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:14,000
He stays inside off the ball.

344
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Odom throws a lot of pitches and walks a lot of men.

345
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Another day if you have a two to one ratio of strikes out over walks, that's good.

346
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Odom to 115 and lost.

347
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Here's a pitch back.

348
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Fast ball to low.

349
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Odom thought he had it.

350
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000
But it's two and O.

351
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Odom struck out 86-50.

352
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:35,000
But walks 87.

353
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Walks about four or more men per ball.

354
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Perez a big right handed hitter.

355
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Rates for the two and O pitch.

356
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Odom has to come in with it with his fast ball down low again and it's three and O.

357
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000
On the shelf is Dennis MacKenzie.

358
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Odom taking the shot.

359
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Here he is in the G center.

360
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:08,000
He gets two home runs in this game.

361
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Odom ready and he's taking all the well-prepared strikes.

362
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Three balls, one strike.

363
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Well apparently the open age will not start white or blue.

364
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Last year's most rival player and tri-young award winner.

365
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:18,000
But he will be in the bullpen and available whenever the age needs him.

366
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Three and one and there's a swing strike.

367
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Or three balls, two strikes.

368
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000
As we said Odom will take something off this fast ball.

369
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Not a straight change up.

370
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,000
In other words not a very slow pitch.

371
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,000
But just a little bit slower than the previous fast ball.

372
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,000
And that will have the hitters out in front of the pitch as well.

373
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Back to three and two and there's a drive out to left field.

374
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Joe Rudy drives it in.

375
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,000
And Odom is back to three and two.

376
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:46,000
And that ball doesn't carry too well here.

377
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:55,000
And Rudy started back and had to come well in.

378
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000
He did.

379
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Perez had a big cut at the ball.

380
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000
I think he broke his bat.

381
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,000
And Rudy started back and almost got caught going the other way.

382
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000
So Perez lies out and there's a little bit of a play.

383
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,000
And Odom is rolling along a couple of the strikeouts.

384
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
He retires five and Odom is facing Menke now.

385
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Menke hits the first pitch.

386
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
It's foul.

387
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Backhanded by Bando and back at third base.

388
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Menke is 0-7 close to the wall.

389
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000
But part of that 0-7 is due to Joe Rudy on the left field in the ninth inning of the

390
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
second game when he robbed him of an extra base hit.

391
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Dennis Moody is in the bullpen.

392
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000
And he's going to be in the bullpen.

393
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
And he's going to be in the bullpen.

394
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,000
And it's going to be a little bit of a play.

395
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,000
And Odom is going to be in the bullpen.

396
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,000
And he's going to be in the bullpen.

397
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,000
And he's going to be in the bullpen.

398
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000
And he's going to be in the bullpen.

399
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:31,000
And it's one ball, one strike.

400
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Dennis Menke at the top of the second.

401
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Game three of the World Series.

402
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,000
There is no score.

403
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
In fact, there hasn't been a base run.

404
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Odom back.

405
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,000
And there's one up the middle.

406
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And chasing it is Green.

407
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,000
It's over to Outstretched Club.

408
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Dogging is Hendrick.

409
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
And taking the wide turn is Menke.

410
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,000
And the ball goes into the second base.

411
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,000
And Menke retreats to first.

412
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,000
That's the first base hit.

413
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,000
First base run of the ball game.

414
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,000
You could see the way that he was dying on the grass once he got to the outfield.

415
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,000
The ball had broken that looper in the center field.

416
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,000
But still, Hendrick came on.

417
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,000
And he had just seen.

418
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,000
And it was Green who went out to get it.

419
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,000
As the ball just died.

420
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,000
It's muddy and soggy in the outfield.

421
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000
And that's the case in just about all of the open field.

422
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000
And it's a great game.

423
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,000
And it's a great game.

424
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,000
And it's a great game.

425
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,000
And it's a great game.

426
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,000
And it's a great game.

427
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000
And it's a great game.

428
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,540
But dementation happens obviously every other Thursday.

429
00:22:15,540 --> 00:22:17,860
He's on the defensive.

430
00:22:17,860 --> 00:22:25,740
And that's the case in just about all of the open crowds.

431
00:22:25,740 --> 00:22:27,760
I think the real bad spot for him.

432
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:34,100
And we'll see it tonight at third base and first base.

433
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:37,000
He has to go over toward the dugout.

434
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
They're double their slip and fall down.

435
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Not a threat to go. With Cedaw and the top of the second, no score, and Geronimo the left hander's batter out.

436
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:55,000
And they're playing Geronimo not to pull the ball at all, although the ball that he pulled down to Higgin at first base was sharply pulled in the ninth inning of that second game.

437
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000
The opposite of swinging him around to the left. Mando's in on the grass at third base.

438
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Manke with the leadoff, he is not being held, and now he's going down ball, green at second base, comes up with it, side-on to the first base in the round of the inning. Manke is running on the fifth.

439
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Runs one hit, no errors, and Manke is left running between first and second base. He's over the last of the second inning.

440
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Four remain, Cincinnati nothing, Oakland nothing.

441
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:26,000
It's a pretty interesting thing how that Gillette track two razor works. It has two blades, and they work like this.

442
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,000
The first blade comes along and cuts into a whisker and lifts it part way out of its socket.

443
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Now before that little cutter-off whisker can snap all the way back, the second blade comes along and can cut the whisker again, even shorter.

444
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Now of course there's just no way a one-blade razor can do that. That's the track two razor. Gillette made it one blade better.

445
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Marty Schmidt with it.

446
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Marty Schmidt the dry left.

447
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Mike Bufolco with it.

448
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,000
I don't believe it.

449
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Mike Bufolco the dry left.

450
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,000
I believe it.

451
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:07,000
People do seem to notice an improvement when a guy switches to the dry look, the aerosol hair control from Gillette.

452
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,000
You should try it if you haven't already. Comes regular or extra-hold?

453
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Yola Marka with it.

454
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,000
With it.

455
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Yola Marka the dry left.

456
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Fantastic.

457
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
The dry look from Gillette.

458
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Now Michael's with Jim Simpson at the open Tanness Inn. Game number three of the 1972 World Series. No score.

459
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:39,000
One hit in the game, a second-hitting single by Dennis Sentees. Bottom of the second. Mike Epstein the leadoff for Oakland. Here's Jeff.

460
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Epstein 0 for 5. Last three ball games he's been 0 for 8. He has run a walk. He did hit the ball very hard in the first game.

461
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Geronimo made a fine catch on him near the wall in right field at Cincinnati. Epstein hit 26 home runs during the regular season to lead the Cleveland home run.

462
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Billingham the right-hander ready. Epstein is the left-hander batter. Takes outside with a fast ball. Ball 1. Reggie Jackson of course is out.

463
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Rolled a hamstring muscle in the sweat. Epstein has been moved up from the number 5 to number 4.

464
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Batting spot. Curve ball by Billingham misses and it is 2-0. And Mike it is reported, was reported in the newspapers, there's been an argument with his manager Dick Williams about being lifted in the second game.

465
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,000
But he's back and shorting. Takes a break and dips down low. And Billingham is 3-0.

466
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Another Billingham hit that's been wild high. It's all just been low and out of the track zone. 3-0. He's a very fast worker. Comes back and now misses high and away on 4-6. He's walked up 2.

467
00:25:44,000 --> 00:26:00,000
First place runner for the A's in this nothing-nothing game. And Sal Bando, the team captain, won for 8 on the year. He had 16 game-winning RBIs during the regular season but as of late Sal thinks haven't been doing that well.

468
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:14,000
5 singles. And has last 35 times at bat and has committed 143 over the last 9 games. Bando, like so many others, a freak at it. Right hander that is. Flows around the bunk.

469
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Bunk before coming in at first base. Coming in goes to second base and there's a man there back to first base at first base.

470
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:40,000
The sacrifice bunk does not work and on the fielder's choice Bando reaches first base. Neither Epstein nor Bando can be called mad men. Epstein, a big man running in that slow footing, was an easy out at second base.

471
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:56,000
That'll bring up George Hendricks. Hendricks the center fielder and in the lineup with Reggie Jackson Ears. Hendricks is 23 years old today. Right hander batter, 1-6 in the series. He's walked and scored a run.

472
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Bick the breakies. Bick blown away. Benski digit out of the dirt. It's ball one. No runs, one hit. The Benski single. No runs, no hits. No runs, we're open with one out in the last of the second.

473
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Another breaking pick. This one gets the outside summer. Call by no-counter and some of the over-the-maid fans go to work on the Nice and the Gumpires.

474
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Three Nice and the Gumpires, three American and the Gumpires and they rotate, changing assignments every day. It goes seven games. Everybody will have worked at least one time behind home plate.

475
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Another breaking pitch and it is fouled behind the plate. Feet into the ground and bouncing backwards over the head of Johnny Benski. Now with his mask off retrieves it.

476
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Steiner wants to look at it and the umpire keeps the ball in play. One ball, two strikes to Hendricks. Hendricks, he's very little.

477
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Drop to regular season, but a very nonchalant young man. Matter of fact, the over-the-maid, as they call him, easy.

478
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Whatever it is up to George to do, he does it with a perron nonchalant. Breaking pitch, hits right away center field. Shallow Bobby Tolman coming on. Morgan going back. Morgan waves off, told him, and takes it.

479
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:15,000
And what a deep right center field for the second out and Bando of course goes back to first base.

480
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Very interesting what Dick Williams has got at him. Having Bando, but not often you'll see the number five man sacrificing in this particular situation, but maybe Williams feels the way Odom's throwing, the way the Regiment are hitting, and the Turies, one run might be enough.

481
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:38,000
That's right. They've only had three runs and one run has been enough as a margin of difference in the first two games. Gene Kenneth, two for seven and you know what the two hit for.

482
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Home runs for first three World Tiers, not the best game. They get the breaking pitch, but it's down low. It looks like they're swotters. And it's one ball, no strikes.

483
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Kenneth, Bando still can't get first base. Rez standing behind him at first base. He's not on the bag now. Well, he's still off the bag at first base. He's holding behind the bag.

484
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Down ball for truck top, fan is there, goes to second base for the fourth out, and Bellingham and the Reds are out of the open second. No runs, no hits, no errors, one man left. At the end of two it's all tied up since the Maddie Nothing opener level.

485
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Let me tell you about some products I sell very proudly. Chrysler's and Plymouth. You know why I love them? They're constantly striving to make stronger cars, safer cars, better cars that run better than any they have ever built.

486
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:43,000
They all have something in common, too. Engineering care. It goes into every Chrysler and every Plymouth. That new midsize satellite Sebring Plus, for instance. That's some car.

487
00:29:43,000 --> 00:30:00,000
And they tell me the new Chrysler is the quietest Chrysler ever. And the new Plymouth Fury. Wow, there's a beautiful car. And part of the beauty of it is the way it fights rust and corrosion with all sorts of rust preventatives.

488
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:11,000
See these new Chrysler's and Plymouths at your Chrysler Plymouth dealer, won't you? Chrysler Plymouth. Extra care and engineering. It makes a difference.

489
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:21,000
We call it 30 seconds for station identification. KGW Portland, Oregon.

491
00:30:51,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Back in Oakland, Switzer to Barrow Cheney, the shortstop. 0 for 2, plus a walk in the series thus far. Batting left-handed against the right-handed.

492
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:08,000
John Blue Moon Odom steps in to face Odom in this nothing-nothing ball game as he begins third, and Bando moves in at third.

493
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:24,000
On the grass, Odom ready to throw. There's Ketchers-Eason. A fastball, catches Cheney at the knees. Alex Gramm with the short for Cincinnati over third base. He hasn't had too much to do over there in this series. George Sugar down at first base.

494
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Odom looking in.

495
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:48,000
He throws fastball and he jammed him off the hands, and it looked like the foul ball went off the foot of Cheney, and rolled George Sugar at the first base. John is out. We're happy to say that after 10 days of rain in the San Francisco-Odom Bay Area, we understand rain is in the neighborhood, but it doesn't look like it's going to rain here.

496
00:31:48,000 --> 00:32:00,000
But all kinds of records for rainfall in the Bay Area in the month of October, going back more than 80 years. Two strikes count to Cheney, leadoff man in the third as Odom has his side.

497
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Right hander from Mason, Georgia, throws and misses outside and rolls. Breaking pitch down and away.

498
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Odom sets the throw again to Cheney who waits. Gets him the big curve, but it's high and away. And a few balls, two strikes to Cheney. Odom went 3-2 on Rose, got him looking at the third base.

499
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:52,000
And at the forester, you know, got into 3-2 and got him on a reply to left field on which he apparently broke his back. He is behind on many of the batters. That's his pattern of pitching. Doesn't mean that he's off. Comes back with a fastball look out, changes the touchdown of the way. In by the knees, gets off the glove of Tennyson all the way back to the back side.

500
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:11,000
He's gone 3-2 again. Third time he's gone 3-2. In the ballgame. Batteries of photography. Lining a newly installed fence just in back of home plate on either side. Well out of the field of play, but given the good shot, he changes there and changes out in front of it.

501
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Golden strikes out. Third strike out for Blue Moon Odom. He has a great rep across. Also he comes in from the side, recorder, over the top. Ray Shaw who's scouted open for the Reds.

502
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Compares him in a sense with Marichow. Doesn't have the great stuff that Juan used to have, but he's more like Marichow in the sense he can come at you from three different directions with so many different pitches. Jack Billingham, the hitter. Odom ready. Jack, that's as he throws and grounds the ball up the middle. And Odom has it and easily throws him out.

503
00:33:47,000 --> 00:34:02,000
On one hit Billingham is out. Now I didn't have a chance to say that in 218 previous major leagues at bat Billingham had 21 hits, 20 of those have been singles. Lifetime average of 096.

504
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Here's Pete Rose. Had a 3-2 count on him and just took a look at the third called strike sneak pass him back in the first inning. No score in the Cincinnati third. Game three, open won the first two, 3-2 and 2-1 at Cincinnati.

505
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:34,000
After rain delay we're back in business. Van Buren on the grass again as a high off-speed pitch. Looks like he changed. Well out of the strike zone. Ball on the road.

506
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Pete who led the National League in hits with 198 will get on them any way he can. He'll bun his way on, he'll drag his way on and he'll slail away. Occasionally delivered a long ball. Back for the fastball but misses inside. It's 2-0 to Rose.

507
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Bill Morgan on deck.

508
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:11,000
The sun now rings the upper tier in right field. Well out in the seats and there is ball three with Pete Rose and just a smidgen of the left field upper deck out of left field.

509
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:22,000
The ball is dropping rapidly and as I said the lights are not only on but they've been on for about an hour before game time. 3-0 now to Pete Rose.

510
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Rose is taking or swinging away. Business is to get on base and a breaking pitch misses inside and on four pitches Rose walks and that's the first walk off Odom. Bill again also has walked one man.

511
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:48,000
There's Joe Morgan. The win in the series is over seven. And in his last 12 at bat he failed a hit.

512
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:53,000
One hit only in this ball game that was by Manky with two out in the second.

513
00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Vanderlip bending over hands on knees at third. Pete Rose leads off at first base. Two out. Odom steps off to get Rose to drop back to first base.

514
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:15,000
He's still 10 bases and 13 tries under regular years. Not the base giving prep to the Morgan or a total but still he might be going with two outs to try to get him scoring territory.

515
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Giving the bob. He is on his way. High pitch. Slow down to second base and over everybody. Out of the center field and Rose will continue on to third.

516
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Throwing error by Gene Dennis and they might have had him at second base.

517
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,000
But Dennis' throw just continued well out into center field.

518
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:45,000
And so now with a count one and all to Joe Morgan. Joe Morgan the only run of the ball game if it is to be a run is at third base.

519
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Nobody has gotten nearly that far. Manky reached on a single for the open A's. Epstein drew a walk. Vanderlip forced him so he was on at first base.

520
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:02,000
That's been it for them. Now Rose has made things happen. That's the aggressive baseball that Trinko had used to.

521
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:09,000
No second. They didn't credit for that. Goes on for third base on the throwing error by Tennis.

522
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:15,000
The pitch to Morgan is down low and it is two at oh.

523
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Jim that's a red game and I think any time now the balance of this series that you see any of those first three get on are going to run.

524
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:32,000
He's set out. Tennis might have gotten Rose. Was not that good a jump. But that became academic.

525
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000
As the ground ball towards the hole Green knocks it down. Gets up on his knees.

526
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Low body. First three by Dick Green. And all to him. And the A's are out of it.

527
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,000
All on throw hits. One error and Rose left trying to score from third base.

528
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,000
We got her last of the third Cincinnati mother. Oakland mother.

529
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,000
My dear I remember when traveling to Florida with an absolute delight.

530
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Oh we were treated like royalty believe me. At the airport a sky cap landed the curve and kicked in our luggage.

531
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,000
As we struggled to ticket counter a man in a red jacket directed us to the gate.

532
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:10,000
And we never spent a minute waiting in line. Our jet was a wide ride 747.

533
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Oh my dear the seats were full of luxury and the food. Oh my god just went by the board.

534
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,000
We had the most charming stewardess too. I mean truly professional.

535
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Oh darling the flight was all too short. And you know our luggage actually beat us to the claim barrier.

536
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
My out trip to Florida was such a joy.

537
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Was that a long time ago grandma?

538
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Just last month my dear when grandpa took me to Miami on Delta Airlines.

539
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Enjoy Delta's total service on your next trip.

540
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Charge your Delta tickets on the American Express money card.

541
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:49,000
You can even extend payment for your airfare on the American Express money card sign and fly plan.

542
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Delta is ready when you are.

543
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Mick Green the object of the crowd's affection will leave things off in the bottom of the third inning.

544
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:07,000
He saved the age to run the reds had a sure run and Joe Morgan in going down to first base may have come up a bit late.

545
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Now he's got a red cleaner after cleaning and Morgan limping noticeably as he moves around to second base.

546
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Now how many times have you seen the man who has made the great play to end an inning lead off the next inning.

547
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Mick Green made the great play and now leaves it off.

548
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,000
He is the eighth man to bat against Billingham in this quarter fall game.

549
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
The A's still looking for their first hit.

550
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:34,000
The John Jack Billingham three quarter arm motion and hits that fastball on the outside corner.

551
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,000
That's for most of the strikes they're called.

552
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Green right handed batter.

553
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Odom the pitcher will be on deck.

554
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Campanella is dealing there now and there's a breaking.

555
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Dick Bunter can't pick it up there.

556
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Kershaw has him easy.

557
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:53,000
The ball simply died down the third base line only a foot or two away from the plate.

558
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000
And Bench had an easy chance to get.

559
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Dick Green kind of found his way off.

560
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Well John Blue Moon Odom comes out.

561
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Odom a pretty good hitter.

562
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:07,000
199 lifetime and any time you get a pitcher around 200 he's a good hitting pitcher.

563
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,000
He's at 12 lifetime home runs, two of those this year.

564
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:17,000
And can he run 28 times during the regular season as Odom has been used as a pinch runner?

565
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Right handed batter, fine athlete.

566
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Quarter fall game, we're in the last of the third.

567
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Billingham throws and he gets that strike again on the outside corner.

568
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000
A three quarter motion to the right handed hitter.

569
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,000
It looks like it's bearing in on you and nips the outside corner.

570
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Billingham back and throws again.

571
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:41,000
This is too far outside and it's one ball, one strike to Odom.

572
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Lead off batter, Kathy Campanella.

573
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,000
She is on deck.

574
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Billingham ready and throws and there's a foul.

575
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,000
It gets back to the legs of the umpire Mel Sonnett.

576
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Picked up by one of the ball boys.

577
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Well we were talking back and forth out and I as Rose was charging in from third on the great play by Green and Morgan's ground ball.

578
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
An unofficial trip at Cincinnati.

579
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Would that ball have gotten through or would Morgan or rather Green have been playing so deep he would have been able to get Morgan anyway.

580
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Braking pitch down low in the strike zone but down low.

581
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:22,000
We've all seen strikes now to Odom.

582
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Next they order to hit the other way not to get the batter out and he swings and strikes out on a curve ball.

583
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:36,000
That is strike out number three for Jack Billingham as Campanella strikes out number one.

584
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000
He comes up.

585
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Odom has also struck out three.

586
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
On the Odom the surrender of a six.

587
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Each man has walked about.

588
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,000
The third comes Menke breaking pitch fouled and behind the plate and over toward the onbexer.

589
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:03,000
One strike Campanella.

590
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Billingham ready again.

591
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Back to throw this one's to one ball one strike.

592
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,000
He said that Mel Sonnett is behind the plate.

593
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Down the right field line is Lynn Harnett.

594
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000
He's the second game in Cincinnati.

595
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:20,000
He is the veteran of this group and comes to World Series at Keery.

596
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Bob Engel of the Master League down the second base.

597
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,000
There's a curve ball.

598
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Look at the slider.

599
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,000
On the outside corner breaking pitch and it's a called strike.

600
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,000
One ball two strikes.

601
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Bob Engel of the Master League working down the second base.

602
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:38,000
He's in his first World Series.

603
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Billingham ready in the last of the third and throws an off-feed breaking pitch down under there dug out by Bench.

604
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
It is two balls two strikes to Campanella.

605
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,000
No score last of the third.

606
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:53,000
The Reds very nearly scored making their running game work with Rose going to second.

607
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Stealing second and drawing the high throw from Kenneth and allowing them to go on the third.

608
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,000
The best of the sports is anybody's thumb.

609
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Bench moves outside.

610
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,000
The pitch is outside.

611
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:08,000
And it's on three and two to Campanella.

612
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,000
With two strikes, Menke is backed up for third base.

613
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,000
With all two strikes.

614
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:19,000
And going to Campanella to get out and make things happen for the A's in this sort of ball game.

615
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Ground ball, fourth short shot, candy charger, side arms and has for speedy Campanella by four or five steps.

616
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,000
The beginning of Billingham around hipster errors.

617
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Now it's on to three complete innings and it's riding up.

618
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Oakley's nothing.

619
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Hello, I'm Johnny Bench for Ann Collin Shield wipers.

620
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:41,000
And I want to talk to service station men who display the bright yellow Ann Collin Shield wipers service cabinet.

621
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,000
You can make the wiper business good business simply by asking one little question of every driver.

622
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Do your wipers streak your windshield?

623
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000
No high pressure, no hard fill.

624
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:57,000
If the answer is yes, suggest replacing the streakers with fresh Ann Collin wipers and tell them you can do it in second.

625
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
That's all there is to do.

626
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,000
It's as easy as taking the base on balls.

627
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,000
That's Ann Collin wipers by Anderson.

628
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Now the hard fill is just a little wax and even harder.

629
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,000
This year the turtle has the hardest shell in ever.

630
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,000
The only thing that gets through is his son Mike Mama.

631
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Harder.

632
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:26,000
Liquid or cream car wax, the turtle goes on easy and stays on hard.

633
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Now the hard fill is just a little wax and even harder.

634
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:39,000
You improve turtle wax, anything else is mock turtle.

635
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Now Michael, Jim Simpson and Jim I know once began to game one of the first questions to be asked is most of the players will be the light at this time.

636
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
How did it affect you at the beginning of the game?

637
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,000
Because we've had only one hit through three, we go to the fourth inning, Collin leads off to the right.

638
00:44:53,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Collin swung on the first pitch and rounded back to Odom in the first inning. In the third is Bando, told the left-hander about his plays around his hip to Bum.

639
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,000
It's high and it's one and all to Bobby Collin.

640
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Collin now is one for nine in serious play.

641
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:20,000
Bando remains in on the grass, making it Collin naturally wants to get on so Johnny Benz can come up and try to drive him in.

642
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,000
John Ball scored the second base in green, easy chance for Green.

643
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:28,000
The ball stayed down as he closed him out. Instead of taking Zithoff it looked like it hit a little bit of Muff there.

644
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:35,000
After a second off just got a roll along the ground and Green picked it up and threw out Collin.

645
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Now here's Johnny Benz and the big thing is as Benz, right-handed flutter stepping in, he stepped in with nobody on base.

646
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:54,000
John Groome Odom is now allowed no earned runs in his last 22 minutes with only one unearned run over that.

647
00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Benz, big right-handed batter and there's an overhand breaking pitch that's plenty to miss him.

648
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Right ball.

649
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:13,000
The A's won the first two games of this 1970 World Series.

650
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Odom ready and the pitch is high and off the glove of Kenneth, one ball two strikes.

651
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:30,000
I'm sure that wherever you are you have read that no team in the history of seven game World Series has lost the first two at home and then gone on to win a World Series.

652
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Some have won, lost two on the road and come back to win, fouled away and not a play to the right by Benz, but still one ball two strikes.

653
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Nobody's ever lost their first two games at home and then come back to win a World Series.

654
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,000
The Reds would like to make a little history in 1970, but here comes the first.

655
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Odom ready and changes up and he's called out looking on a third called strike.

656
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Change up and perhaps begs his looking back ball, but whatever it was, that's not the pitch that Johnny Benz thought he'd get.

657
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:09,000
Strike out number four for Odom.

658
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Odom since the walk to road has now retired the next three men in a row and nobody's hit the ball out of the infield.

659
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:22,000
As a matter of fact against Odom only Perez has hit the ball past the infield and will he set the making of a tether for him.

660
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000
The two men have gotten the ball out of the infield.

661
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Perez is up there now and the first pitch is high to him ball one.

662
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:36,000
Perez had a three and 0 count, went to three and two and then broke his bat and swiped softly to short left field.

663
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Drop down to fourth, Odom back ready to throw.

664
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Overhand breaking pitch down Perez, swings and misses.

665
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Odom changes on everything.

666
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,000
A curve ball and a fast ball.

667
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Moves the ball around.

668
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,000
One ball one strike.

669
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Breaking pitch stays high and inside, two balls one strike.

670
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Odom does have a good fast ball, but he does not have the fast ball that he had before he had elbow problems back in 69-70.

671
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,000
He just had a superior fast ball then.

672
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Hitting coach now says he's got an excellent fast ball.

673
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,000
Two balls one strike.

674
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Odom ready to work again to the right hand of Perez.

675
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:32,000
He changes on it at the end of the throw for a three and Odom and Perez brings in the two ball three strike.

676
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,000
George Hendricks, if he played any deeper, practically would be on the warning flag.

677
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:41,000
The left center field, expecting Tony Perez who is four for eight in this world too.

678
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:49,000
Two two pitch fast ball, just misses on the outside corner and that was really a just miss.

679
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:57,000
Odom gave Mel Schoenner the big stare and it's three and two with two out to Perez.

680
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Here's something with a man like Odom, does he come back with a fast ball, does he go to that big change up curve, what did he come in with?

681
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,000
He changes on a breaking pitch and strikes it off clean.

682
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,000
Now on to Perez, he's on the last of the fourth.

683
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,000
The Oakland fans with a tennis waiting here.

684
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:20,000
Here's Blue Moon Odom, the score Cincinnati nothing, Oakland nothing.

685
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,000
Gillette makes a better double edge now than the one your father used.

686
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:30,000
The smoothest edge we can put on a blade, but the smoothest shave we can put on your face.

687
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,000
The platinum plus blade.

688
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,000
And someday Gillette will make even a better blade for your son.

689
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:39,000
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

690
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,000
We made the first blade and we're still the first blade.

691
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,000
Gillette, platinum plus.

692
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Thrust, wet, broken, lost.

693
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,000
That's a match for you.

694
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:56,000
And that's why now there's Cricket, the new disposable butane lighter by Gillette.

695
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,000
It's light, rugged, reliable.

696
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:04,000
The Cricket lighter is good for thousands of lights, which means it lasts for months.

697
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Time after time, light after light, Cricket gets the job done.

698
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Midnight black or fire red, it's more than a match for any lighting problem.

699
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:22,000
Cricket, the new disposable butane lighter by Gillette, only $1.49.

700
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Maddie Allure will start the Oakland fours, followed by Joe Rudy and the cleanup hit of Mike Epstein

701
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,000
in the short of ball games.

702
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Lou works billing end to a three-feet down back in the first inning and then ground it the other way,

703
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:38,000
the shortstop and changes for him out by 20.

704
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Billing end has struck out three, allows no hit, and walks one.

705
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:53,000
Oldham has struck out five, allows one hit and walks one.

706
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Lou left hand the batter.

707
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Mike units third base and Lou gets a look at a slow breaking third inside and low.

708
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,000
They blame Maddie the other way in the outfield.

709
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,000
It hits to the other field.

710
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:15,000
There's the hit down low and it's two-toed to Lou.

711
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,000
No runs in the ball game, only one hit.

712
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Irv Norton, coaching a third base, the ultimate, very easy there at first base.

713
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Billing end running to the road, there's a three-quarter fastball,

714
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,000
a quarter on motion and it's right underneath the court.

715
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Two balls, one strike, and a little bit of a beating.

716
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
He's waiting that one out all the way.

717
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
As the lead off bat, he's trying to be out just a little while.

718
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Billing end is going to be a good one.

719
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Comes back, ball is just in the field.

720
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:45,000
George Coleman comes on, still running, is there and has it.

721
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,000
Almost came back to second base.

722
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Morgan never made a move.

723
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,000
George Cheney went out.

724
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Morgan has run a long way.

725
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Joe Rudy called out on strikes to him in the first inning.

726
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,000
Rudy, who had the home run.

727
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Rudy, who had the great set.

728
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Rudy, who was the big man in the second game of his World Series, stepped in.

729
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Joe Rudy has a lot of power, the right and right center.

730
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,000
There's a breaking pitch on the outside corner, looks like a winning end spot.

731
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:31,000
And so Coleman flings around in the right center.

732
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,000
No score and he's having a heavy hit.

733
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,000
That's about his way on and he's not doing it.

734
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:48,000
Joe Rudy bumps his way on and brings up the left.

735
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,000
They have a power hitter, Mike F. G.

736
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Mike F. G. is doubting for that.

737
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000
Billingham has one major problem.

738
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,000
He does not follow through correctly.

739
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,000
He is never in position to see if anything hits back toward the mound.

740
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,000
The Reds have been working with Jack all season long,

741
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:08,000
but it just seems to be a thing he can't do anything about at this particular point.

742
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:14,000
So I guess somebody with the A's has got to the Reds notice it and Rudy pays off.

743
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Mike F. G. stands well back in the batter's box.

744
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Looks like a lot of pitches for a big power slugger.

745
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,000
He walked on four pitches last time up.

746
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,000
Rudy leads off at first.

747
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,000
The first pitch is a fastball down low to F. G.

748
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,000
All on.

749
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Rudy Kamara.

750
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Kamara is on deck.

751
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,000
Epstein shares to Irving on the third base.

752
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,000
So a two-assure signal from Dick Williams, the manager,

753
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,000
in the dugout along the third base line.

754
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,000
Billingham, pitching from the stretch.

755
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Under the throw.

756
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,000
Throws, down ball to the right side.

757
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Morgan, over.

758
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Goes to second base for one.

759
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Back to first base.

760
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,000
Not in time.

761
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Epstein is on after bouncing into a fourth play.

762
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:01,000
And still with one arm, but now with two out, he is down.

763
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Who tried to sacrifice energy to long in the second of him.

764
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Epstein was one out of second, and Bando reached on the field of score.

765
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Bando has been in a horrendous slump in the open age.

766
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,000
Over his last 36 times at bat.

767
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Touching back through the playoffs.

768
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:27,000
And yet he was the man who won the most games with the winning RBI throughout the regular season.

769
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,000
Epstein leads off at first base.

770
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:39,000
And a breaking pitch into the outside corner as Bando steps his way to strike one to foul.

771
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Gaze in the yellow shirt.

772
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Selly green batting helmet.

773
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:43,000
White pants.

774
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,000
White jeans.

775
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Very colorful.

776
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Bando has taller.

777
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,000
He has 15 home runs during the regular season.

778
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Billingham back and a three-quarter motion pitch.

779
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Almost gets away from Ben.

780
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,000
He has to count to keep it in front of him.

781
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:08,000
One ball, one strike to Dough Bando.

782
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Only nearly 6 minutes of specific time, and the mountains are beautiful at the time,

783
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,000
but it's nice not to have rain.

784
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:21,000
There's a ground ball behind the place, Dough, and it's one ball, two strikes to Dough Bando.

785
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,000
A run, one hit, no errors.

786
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,000
A run, one hit, and one error for Oakland.

787
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Back to the fourth.

788
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Game three of the World Series.

789
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:36,000
Goal from one to third pitch.

790
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,000
Billingham, Billingham, he's ahead of the batter, Bando, throws, and there's a foul ball.

791
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Out of play, off to the right end.

792
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,000
Well back into the middle of the game.

793
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,000
Down to first base line.

794
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:55,000
Still one ball and two strikes.

795
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
Bando hardly steps up at the box.

796
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,000
He's ready.

797
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,000
He's still at Billingham.

798
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,000
He steers back at Marquez to his first and throws, and the fast ball gets it.

799
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Bando looking, foul strike three, and Billingham is now put down four.

800
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,000
A run, one bump, eight hits.

801
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,000
No errors, one man left.

802
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,000
At the end of four, it's all the same.

803
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,000
Oakland and the defensive body, nothing, nothing.

804
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,000
I'm sure you've all heard of the Plymouth Duster.

805
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,000
It's a great little car.

806
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,000
It's an economical, seats five, comfortably.

807
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,000
But maybe you haven't heard of the Space Duster.

808
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:36,000
That's what Christ the Plymouth is calling their Duster when you order the new fold down rear seat.

809
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,000
Good feature.

810
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,000
Gives you all sorts of room in the back.

811
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Six and a half feet, in fact.

812
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Practically transforms the car into a miniature moving van.

813
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,000
It's fully carpeted back there, too.

814
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Something else I think you'll like, the optional sliding metal sunroof.

815
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Chrysler Plymouth believes that since the 73 Duster is smart looking and offers features like these,

816
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:08,000
it could very well be America's best small car for the money.

817
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:13,000
And I think they're right.

818
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Plymouth Duster, extra tier in engineering.

819
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Makes a difference.

820
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:28,000
Now, Michael, Jim Simpson, game three of the 1972 World Series at the Oakland Commiseum.

821
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Hitting battle.

822
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Groom Monodum and Jack Sillingham.

823
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,000
They've been top.

824
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,000
We've had a broken back single.

825
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,000
They only hit for the red by Yannick Manke.

826
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,000
A front single.

827
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,000
They only hit for the A's by Joe Rudy.

828
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Fifth inning.

829
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Manke leads off.

830
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,000
And here again, he's hit.

831
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,000
Manke, Geronimo, and Pena in this sort of thing.

832
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,000
Manke, right handed hitter.

833
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Van Bell, not expecting him to slide a bonus way on.

834
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,000
Is playing behind the back at third base.

835
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,000
Autumn was allowed to go for one throw.

836
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,000
Ready to throw and throws a fast ball but it's down low.

837
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,000
One ball, no strikes.

838
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Manke.

839
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Manke got his base hit at the second with two out.

840
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:09,000
The standard when Geronimo's round around to end that second inning.

841
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Groom Monodum ready again and throws.

842
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,000
And just misses again.

843
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,000
And on the side, two balls, no strikes.

844
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,000
Groom Monodum is 26 years old.

845
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,000
Born and still lives in Macon, Georgia.

846
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,000
His counterpart, Jack Billingham, is 29.

847
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,000
Born in Orlando.

848
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,000
Lives in nearby Winter Park, Florida.

849
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,000
Throw a couple of sevens.

850
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Men hitting tonight.

851
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,000
Fast ball is down low.

852
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,000
And it's three and oh.

853
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Groom Monodum has been here before.

854
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:40,000
He has been to three and ohs on a couple of them.

855
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:47,000
But he has watched none of them and he went three and oh off.

856
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,000
Doesn't want to put that leadoff man on base.

857
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,000
The left hander Geronimo coming up.

858
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Groom Monodum ready.

859
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Throws on three and oh.

860
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,000
And taking all the way.

861
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,000
And the pitch is out of the strike zone.

862
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,000
And it's four point on fours.

863
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,000
Groom Monodum.

864
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,000
Walks Manke.

865
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Second base on ball.

866
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:13,000
And Geronimo who grounded the green a second in the second inning.

867
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,000
Geronimo out.

868
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Left handed hitter.

869
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,000
But again, Hendricks is playing him over.

870
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,000
And has now been waved over even harder into left center field.

871
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Here's the other way.

872
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Jim McFerrin is surprising.

873
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Most of the players play him straight away.

874
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,000
And if anything, they play him to close.

875
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:32,000
He's been played right but nobody's played him the opposite way this year.

876
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,000
Mando has now moved him on the grass.

877
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,000
As the ball hits down the left field line.

878
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Foul there is Geronimo.

879
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Mando's over.

880
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,000
Rudy's over.

881
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Now both watch it drips in oh.

882
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,000
Just about the second row of the seat.

883
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,000
Well out of reach though.

884
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:50,000
There's a lot of room down the third base and first base line.

885
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Until you get about 280 feet away.

886
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000
And then it closes in for the foul line.

887
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Both down the left and right field line.

888
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Geronimo left hander Better has a count of one strike zone.

889
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,000
Manke at first base.

890
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,000
The net team.

891
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Knowing Manke is not prepared to grace the left flank behind the bag.

892
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Now she can toward the bag.

893
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,000
Backs off as Geronimo is ready.

894
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:14,000
Mando's in.

895
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Geronimo squares around the bump before he even throws.

896
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,000
And the pick is high enough at the strike zone.

897
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Mando has started in because Geronimo is waiting for Geronimo to go into his windup before he's done it.

898
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:28,000
He was just standing there ready to bump.

899
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,000
One ball, one strike.

900
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,000
The F team came over and yelled something to John Blue Moon Odom.

901
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,000
At the top of the fifth.

902
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,000
There is no score.

903
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,000
They are really playing Geronimo.

904
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,000
They hit it to the opposite field.

905
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Mando is just way around in left center.

906
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Geronimo now.

907
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,000
Tennesse needs to be outside of the play.

908
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:49,000
Odom throws.

909
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,000
There's a ground ball court for the F team.

910
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,000
The runner will get the second.

911
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,000
And now he flips to first.

912
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Takes the first base.

913
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,000
There goes the one to the third base.

914
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,000
A good shot.

915
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,000
F team had to play right in front of him.

916
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,000
The pitcher goes over.

917
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Green goes over.

918
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,000
He flips the ball toward Green.

919
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,000
And there's the second arrow.

920
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:08,000
And with none out, we've got one of the first and third everybody's base.

921
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,000
Big, big break for the Reds.

922
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,000
He was a Zed team fielder to the ball.

923
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,000
He didn't know whether the pitcher would be there or Green would be there.

924
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:22,000
He touched the Green and Zed team, Odom coming over, was looking for Odom as he reached for the ball.

925
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,000
And it came out loose and enabled Mendy to move to third.

926
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,000
And Geronimo stayed to first base.

927
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,000
So instead of one out or under the second, there's nobody out.

928
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,000
Let us just first and third.

929
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,000
Enfield comes in at the corners now.

930
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,000
As Darryl Jennings, who's stuck out, is up.

931
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,000
That's the second arrow.

932
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,000
F team looks to second.

933
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Saw he had no play there.

934
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,000
Geronimo was hustling all the way.

935
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:48,000
And F team simply had nobody really to throw to.

936
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,000
He had his choice, really.

937
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,000
But which one?

938
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,000
The ball got away from both of them.

939
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,000
Odom ready.

940
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Jennings takes out of the play for one, ball one.

941
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,000
Billy Ham, not a hitting pitcher at all, will be the next to hit.

942
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,000
Rose, however, the leadoff batter, he is on deck.

943
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Kenneth walked up to talk to Odom.

944
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,000
Top of the fifth.

945
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,000
It all started when Mendy walked up for a second.

946
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Geronimo topped the ball toward F team at first base.

947
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,000
He got out to look down to second.

948
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Mendy had a great jump on the ball, was already in there.

949
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,000
F team would not move.

950
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,000
World of throw to first base.

951
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,000
Flipped it underhand to Odom and Green who was emerging on the back.

952
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,000
And the ball got away from both of them.

953
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:32,000
Mendy, heads up, continued running on the third base.

954
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,000
A ball no strike.

955
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:37,000
Kamee, quick hitter, batting left-handed, waits for the pitch of Odom.

956
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:43,000
He throws and there's a foul at the plate, dribbling off towards photographers over to the left side of the plate.

957
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:49,000
One ball, one strike.

958
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,000
Odom really looking to strike out here now.

959
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:57,000
If he can get the strike out and Billingham coming up, he has got the opportunity to double play.

960
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Kamee becomes a very important out for him in this quarterfinal game.

961
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,000
Mendy is 0-3 in World Series play.

962
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:17,000
A ground ball, good score, making even for his base.

963
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:21,000
Ready with a 1-1 pitch, playing in the midst of the good tackle.

964
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,000
One ball, two strikes.

965
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,000
Now Odom is ahead of Kamee.

966
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Billingham the next batter.

967
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,000
He has struck out five.

968
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:37,000
This would be his most important strikeout if he can get Kamee.

969
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:42,000
And around the other way, the Reds don't want it to happen with their weak hitting Josh Billingham up.

970
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Kamee swinging that bat, waiting.

971
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Odom is in the stretch.

972
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,000
He looks to first.

973
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:59,000
Now it's a breaking pitch, and it is fouled high in the air and off the third base side.

974
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,000
Bando comes over, but it bounds off the top of the A.

975
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,000
He's got a roof at about six-row side.

976
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,000
Still one ball, two strikes.

977
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,000
Bando retreats his hat and heads back to third base.

978
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Kamee steps back in and Odom has a new baseball.

979
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:32,000
Old score, since the night he's hit, making it third and on the other, Geronimo at first.

980
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:37,000
The waiting game now, Odom has his sign and is ready.

981
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:42,000
The one-two pitch, he's struck him out.

982
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,000
And he walks away, strikeout number six.

983
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:55,000
And that will bring up Billingham, and that will bring in Al Michaels to give me a word here if someone's going down to the dugout here.

984
01:04:55,000 --> 01:05:01,000
And will bring in Al Michaels to tell me if you can't out, can Mr. Billingham bump?

985
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,000
Well, Jack got his problems with the hitter.

986
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,000
That's no secret.

987
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:09,000
He's probably the worst hitting hitter on the staff.

988
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,000
And he's not a very good butter.

989
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,000
He's laid down a couple this season.

990
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,000
Dick Williams, by the way, is out of command right now.

991
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,000
He's been throwing.

992
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,000
Bando is there.

993
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Odom and Dennis are talking about the possibility.

994
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:21,000
What's Billingham going to do here?

995
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,000
If they squeeze, I don't think it's going to be the suicide squeeze with the safety squeeze.

996
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:29,000
We're going to pause 30 seconds for station identification.

997
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:33,000
633 KTW, Portland, Oregon.

998
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:38,000
There's something about stopping in at McDonald's for a snack in the afternoon or evening.

999
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:43,000
Stopping in for a note at McDonald's fries and a nice and cold Coca-Cola.

1000
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:47,000
So after school, after shopping or the game, try it.

1001
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,000
McDonald's fries and a nice and cold Coca-Cola.

1002
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,000
It's a nice break in your day.

1003
01:05:53,000 --> 01:06:03,000
You can't help it today. You can't help it today. You can't help it.

1004
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:09,000
In this game, with one out and runners with the runners, first and third.

1005
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,000
They're all ready. Odom looks in and throws.

1006
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,000
There goes the runner, the second base. The ball is hit to right field.

1007
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,000
In comes Matty Lue in right field and foul.

1008
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,000
Four-point catch. Look for it.

1009
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:24,000
There's Geronimo off and running towards second base.

1010
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:30,000
The A's have a lot of plays when they start that time this game, as you most of all thought.

1011
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:36,000
Whether or not to throw through, whether or not to cut it off and give up the run.

1012
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:43,000
But of course, Geronimo was going in an effort to erase the possibility of the double play.

1013
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:47,000
That's the one thing the Reds don't want. That's the one thing the A's do want.

1014
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:55,000
It is one strike. And now Bando, yelling instructions to Green at second base and camping out the shortstop.

1015
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,000
What to do should it happen again. Where to go with the ball.

1016
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:02,000
Do you cut off the run? Do you go for the double play?

1017
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,000
One strike, kids. Geronimo may be going again. Nope. It's a pit stop.

1018
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:11,000
They thought he might be going again. And it's one ball, one strike. Filling in.

1019
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:16,000
No runs, one hit, no errors for Cincinnati. No runs, one hit, two errors for Oakland.

1020
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:24,000
And there's an error that has Odum and the A's in deep trouble here on the shortstop.

1021
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:32,000
One ball, one strike. Odum's bent over, hands on knees. Looks back at first base.

1022
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:36,000
Hands are dry. Now looks into his second base.

1023
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:46,000
Makes a glance at third base. Not going plenty in a minute. One ball, two strikes.

1024
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:51,000
And now Dick Green walks over from second base.

1025
01:07:51,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Say something to Odum. Oakland won the first two games and, in all honesty, they were just like this one. Very low scoring, very close.

1026
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:12,000
The man at third base could be the only one of them all. You never know. It has just been that close with the pitching team.

1027
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:16,000
These two teams are getting it. Odum is ready. One, two, strike.

1028
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:22,000
And now the dangerous deep rows.

1029
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:29,000
With a strikeout and walks comes up. But there are two outs. And Odum can stand back and fly away.

1030
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:38,000
And of course, low as we will recall, back in Cincinnati, the runner at third base was wanting to get him in, if he could.

1031
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:45,000
Finally with two strikes, was forced to fling away. That was in the first game. And Ted Kubiak made quite a play on him to throw him out.

1032
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Alex Ramos says something to Menke at third base.

1033
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:58,000
Rowe, having left hand, has stepped in. Odum trying to get out of the biggest trouble that anybody's been in in this ball game.

1034
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:06,000
There goes the runner again. It's down low. Tennis throws to second base and he is, well, he is safe.

1035
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:12,000
Bob Engel down there did not give the save or out, but obviously, Kafeiner has had to come in front of the bag.

1036
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:21,000
And Geronimo simply slid around him. And that is the second stolen base for the Reds in this ball game.

1037
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:26,000
Rowe throws second, back in the third. Now Rowe stares down to Grammys.

1038
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:37,000
First base is open. Two are out. Morgan on deck. One and O that counts to Rowe.

1039
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:44,000
Odum ready to throw. Throw a fastball. Tennis is outside the plate, down on his knees to bring that one in.

1040
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:49,000
The ball's no strike. He wanted to make sure that one did not get away for a wild pitch.

1041
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:57,000
Cincinnati won the most important game of 1972 on a wild pitch. It was a siding game of a national league playoff.

1042
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:06,000
And the runner scored from third base. Two and O now to Rowe.

1043
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:13,000
Odum walking around, taking his time, looking out for both Kafeineros and now in for Deep Rowe.

1044
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Rowe is in that deep south from the left side. Tennis moves to the outside front of the plate and there's the ball fouled back to the plate.

1045
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:28,000
Two balls, one strike. O Morgan is not kneeling on deck, he is standing on deck.

1046
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:37,000
That in hand. Best opportunity that anybody has had.

1047
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:42,000
Although Rowe did get as far as third base with two outs. Now they've got men at second and third.

1048
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:48,000
That was number 30, this is number six. Good enough score. Nice and good feeling play by Green.

1049
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:55,000
Fastball hits the other way. Line foul and deep down the left field line.

1050
01:10:55,000 --> 01:11:06,000
Rowe did not get around on the good fastball of Odom. Line up foul. Three balls, two strikes.

1051
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:11,000
Now a few strikes and seven strikes out from his pocket. The last few minutes he has struck out.

1052
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:18,000
The A's fans go to work on their favorite pitcher, John Blue Moon Odom, looking for the big pitch.

1053
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:25,000
Odom tears in. Bando is still on the grass at third base. Maybe Rowe might try to get on and bring him to run anyway he can.

1054
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:32,000
But it is two strikes on him now. Two and two. Odom ready and throws a breaking pitch. That is full strike three.

1055
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:39,000
That's a lead. Rowe is serious. A breaking pitch no matter the looking fastball.

1056
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:48,000
A lead at the knee that is caught on on strike. That's our number eight. Odom has lost that first and third.

1057
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,000
He's on to the last with the fifth. Hope with nothing.

1058
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:55,000
This in the studio is Peter Barnes, one of the world's fastest talking announcers.

1059
01:11:55,000 --> 01:12:00,000
He will attempt to tell you all the many features of Delta's total service in less than one minute.

1060
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:01,000
Ready, see?

1061
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:10,000
Regulations confirmed in three seconds by Delta Matt Этот Computer. Automation tickets are reading.

1062
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:25,000
He has a great fleet of илиs completely to look at.

1063
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,000
Superb meals on breakfast, lunch and dinner flights.

1064
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:29,500
First-class service every step of the way by the Delta Professional.

1065
01:12:29,500 --> 01:12:31,000
Speedy baggage delivery when you land.

1066
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:32,000
Average time, seven minutes.

1067
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Stealth and green vacations at low package prices.

1068
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Five feet time shopping.

1069
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,000
You've just begun to cover Delta's total service.

1070
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:42,500
Why, you didn't even mention that people can charge their Delta tickets on the American Express Money Card.

1071
01:12:42,500 --> 01:12:47,500
And extend payments for airfare with the American Express Money Card time and fly plan.

1072
01:12:47,500 --> 01:12:51,500
Well, friends, for more information and reservations, call Delta or your travel agent.

1073
01:12:51,500 --> 01:12:56,000
Delta is ready when you are.

1074
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:04,000
Back in Oakland, California, the fans are still applauding Blue Bull Norton and Blue and Cute Rose.

1075
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,500
Norton's one game strikeout high, this past season's been eight.

1076
01:13:07,500 --> 01:13:09,500
He's already struck out eight.

1077
01:13:09,500 --> 01:13:13,000
The Delta's last of the center will be Henry Kenneth and Greene.

1078
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:18,000
And now for the last half of the ball game, the worst of the 690 Reds, Al Michael.

1079
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:24,000
Back at him, Hendrick popped out in the second and in.

1080
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,500
Right hand batter, 23 years old today.

1081
01:13:26,500 --> 01:13:32,000
In 182 this year, his four homers and takes outside ball one.

1082
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,000
Gene Tennis waiting on that.

1083
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:35,500
Al, I just looked at the empty replay.

1084
01:13:35,500 --> 01:13:39,500
That's hip to down low, but Rose was in such a trough, it was empty.

1085
01:13:39,500 --> 01:13:42,000
Look at the empty replay on color.

1086
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,500
The next pitch over for his strikeout was down one and one.

1087
01:13:44,500 --> 01:13:48,000
Odom, of course, has something extra to write. He has three as he's a strikeout.

1088
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:52,000
And here's a fellow who averages about four strikeouts per nine innings this year.

1089
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,000
Outside ball two.

1090
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,000
Turn one account on Hendrick.

1091
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,500
Jack Gimham in four innings has given up just one hit.

1092
01:13:59,500 --> 01:14:02,000
A one single by Joe Rudy in the fourth.

1093
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:07,000
He's lost one, struck out four.

1094
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:08,000
Two one-ticks.

1095
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,000
His first strike in the count is even.

1096
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,000
Two and two.

1097
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:16,000
He's played about an hour and eight or nine minutes.

1098
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,000
Bottom of the fifth inning, no score.

1099
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,000
He's got one hit.

1100
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:23,000
There are two two-picks.

1101
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,000
Outside ball three.

1102
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:29,000
Four counts.

1103
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:34,000
Don Dullup goes for the reds tomorrow in game number four.

1104
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Here's Don from the west coast, five-twenty to skip a time.

1105
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,000
Eight-twenty Eastern time.

1106
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,000
Holton for the A's.

1107
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,000
Three-two-picks.

1108
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Don and Lepin.

1109
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,000
Down goes Hendrick on strike.

1110
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,000
That's five for Billingham.

1111
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:52,000
So third team strikeout in the game.

1112
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:53,000
Odom with eight.

1113
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,000
Billingham has his step and he's tenaced about it.

1114
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:01,000
Down to the line in the second inning.

1115
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,000
Billingham's been raised to a shot.

1116
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,000
The A's have picked just one ball to the outfield.

1117
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:15,000
Pop-up by Alou, which really could have been caught by Morgan Asheny, one of the infielders.

1118
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,000
Dennis, go for one.

1119
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,000
Two-parade in the World Series.

1120
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,000
Shakespeare breaking through, blowing away.

1121
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,000
Ball one.

1122
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:23,000
The green will be nice.

1123
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,000
One out with a Baker's empty.

1124
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,000
Bottom of the fifth inning, no score.

1125
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,000
A's leading the series.

1126
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,000
Two games to nothing.

1127
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:38,000
Billingham and Odom, locked up.

1128
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,000
O'House looking out for.

1129
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,000
World Series game ever in Oakland.

1130
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:43,000
And it spins.

1131
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,000
Jimmie McDonough's one and one.

1132
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:50,000
Billingham especially tough on the right-handed hitters.

1133
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Comes in three-quarter and drops down even lower than that from the side.

1134
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,000
One-one-pick into a strike.

1135
01:15:56,000 --> 01:16:06,000
It's the inside part, whether high one or two.

1136
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:07,000
Billingham working quickly.

1137
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:08,000
Just two picks.

1138
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:13,000
And the one-two-pick, Herb, flung on ground to foul by a third.

1139
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:14,000
The Reds have meant to be a third.

1140
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:15,000
Caney has enjoyed.

1141
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,000
Morgan has second.

1142
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,000
The Reds are third.

1143
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,000
The outfield, Rose on left.

1144
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:29,000
Oakland and Kenner, you're on the more right.

1145
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,000
One-two-pick out.

1146
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:37,000
A wide by Billingham and the one-two-pick to Kenner is outside for all two.

1147
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:38,000
Two and two.

1148
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,000
Really no threats for the A's so far.

1149
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,000
Epstein-Walk leading off in the second.

1150
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,000
Bando fourth, Simmons is third.

1151
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,000
And Rudy the bun single in the fourth, he's one out.

1152
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,000
But he is third.

1153
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:56,000
And the next pick outside in the counter is full.

1154
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:05,000
Three and two on Kenner.

1155
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,000
Mickey well by the third.

1156
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,000
The outfield, Davis, third left.

1157
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,000
Billingham checking with Bengt.

1158
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:14,000
In his lineup and the three-two-pick called strike three.

1159
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:19,000
So there's number six and three in a row for Billingham.

1160
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:25,000
And this time the lineups in the Oakland Coliseum are definitely not the usual.

1161
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:30,000
I thought maybe Billingham and Odom were exceptionally sharp early in the game.

1162
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Perhaps because it was a try-light, but at the moment the lineups have taken almost full of that.

1163
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,000
So they're doing it on talent now.

1164
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:43,000
Green the batter outside, ball one.

1165
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,000
Green trying to bun in the third inning.

1166
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,000
Johnny Bengt's going out.

1167
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:52,000
And the next draft is spending most of the season under the table there.

1168
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,000
One out there is high ball two.

1169
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,000
Had a bad back.

1170
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:07,000
Tried to this season with the A's as if regular second baseman, Ben Kiel, came back in late August.

1171
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Had three runs battered there.

1172
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,000
Two out, base is empty.

1173
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:26,000
Two under the couch, Odom on back.

1174
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,000
No runs, one hit, no errors for the Reds.

1175
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:33,000
No runs, one hit and two errors for the A's.

1176
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:37,000
Billingham into his lineup and their two under green is outside, ball three.

1177
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,000
Three and one.

1178
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:43,000
Billingham went to a three ball counter on Epstein in the second inning and walked in.

1179
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:48,000
The only walks were four and two and three.

1180
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:54,000
Jack is normally good control.

1181
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,000
And tonight, that's good control.

1182
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:01,000
Three one pitch is a set playing foul off to the right.

1183
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:07,000
Full count.

1184
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:12,000
Billingham with a Dodger chain for many years came up through their minor league system.

1185
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:16,000
Made his major league debut with the Dodgers in 1968.

1186
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:17,000
He was a relief that year.

1187
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:21,000
Then sent to Houston, spent three years there, now with the Reds.

1188
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Three two pitch, it's time slowly for a third touch play.

1189
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,000
Most of the time he's on half note play.

1190
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:30,000
Then he's slowly coming through the hole.

1191
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:35,000
Make you feel in the ball, see me, but it was slowly hit on the grass to the left of the mound.

1192
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,000
And by the time that he came up with it, futile to throw to first base.

1193
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:43,000
So he just held on and green has Oakland's second hit.

1194
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:46,000
Won a bunch single and now an infield hit.

1195
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,000
And up comes sector blue moon Odom.

1196
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:53,000
Odom struck out on the third of it.

1197
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,000
Odom hit 121 this season.

1198
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:02,000
He had two runs banded in and they came on a pair of home runs.

1199
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:10,000
Right hand batter, Cleveland's in the two, they blew it by 0-1.

1200
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,000
Norton, goes in the third.

1201
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,000
Jori Adair, that's her.

1202
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:18,000
No score in the fifth, two out.

1203
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,000
Here's their strike one pitch.

1204
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:25,000
Breaking ball into a strike, inside corner, nothing in two.

1205
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:30,000
Campanella's gone back.

1206
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:36,000
Odom turns his back on the plate and looks for the off field with his playing Odom around towards right.

1207
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:40,000
Every second there was normal depth, making even with the back of third.

1208
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Perez is stepping a half back to green first.

1209
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
Billingham has the belt.

1210
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,000
At last the first and the strike two pitch.

1211
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,000
The punter sent missed strike three.

1212
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:55,000
The shot retired as Jack Billingham strikes out the shot.

1213
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:59,000
And now has seven strikeouts through five and we've had 15 in the game.

1214
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:03,000
Two runs, one hit, green left at first, it's an end of five.

1215
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,000
Cincinnati nothing, Oakland nothing.

1216
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,000
Hello, this is Johnny Bench speaking for ANCO Windshield Wipers.

1217
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:14,000
And I'd like to talk to service station men who display the big bright yellow ANCO Windshield Wiper Service Cabinet.

1218
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:18,000
You're in a top position for bringing your customers home safe.

1219
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,000
And I'll tell you how.

1220
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Many customers have wipers that streak their windshields and believe me, in a driving rain storm or snow storm,

1221
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,000
they couldn't find first base on their hands and knees.

1222
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:35,000
It's especially bad on drivers with those hidden windshield wipers because in fair weather they forget all about them.

1223
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:38,000
Now you know the best wipers are made from pure rubber.

1224
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:42,000
And the best rubber goes bad from wind, sun, and heat from the engine and it hardens.

1225
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Wipers need replacing after about six months or there could be danger ahead.

1226
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,000
It's up to you to ask every driver if his windshield wipers are streaking.

1227
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:54,000
If the answer is yes, they need fresh wipers right now.

1228
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,000
Here's a pair of ANCO Windshield Wipers properly fitted to the car's windshield.

1229
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:02,000
You can bring your customers home safe with ANCO Wipers.

1230
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:05,000
ANCO by Anderson.

1231
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:10,000
Hello again from Oakland, California.

1232
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Along with our Michael's sister, Jim Simpson.

1233
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:16,000
We go to the Cincinnati Sticks of the Stolas ballgame.

1234
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:17,000
They're dragging the infield.

1235
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,000
Oldham is warming up.

1236
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:23,000
We meet the men who will try to get on base and get Johnny Bench.

1237
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:27,000
He's had a few times in this World Series a chance to drive in some runs.

1238
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:31,000
In this game, Morgan and Toulon are 0-4.

1239
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:33,000
And Bench led off in the second.

1240
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:38,000
So a seven-time and nine at bat came up with none other than one out in the fourth.

1241
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,000
Bench has not had a chance to drive in runs.

1242
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,000
Morgan and Toulon will have got to get on base.

1243
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:45,000
Again, the Cincinnati Sticks can get it out.

1244
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Joe Morgan stuck out in the first, grounded out in the third,

1245
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:53,000
and was limping after he reached first base in the third inning.

1246
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:57,000
He was out on a fine play by Green, but no noticeable limp.

1247
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:03,000
Now as Morgan steps in, time calls for the moment by the third base umpire,

1248
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:06,000
Gil Hallis.

1249
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:10,000
Somebody up and moving around over by the Oakland dugout,

1250
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,000
and that situation is cleared away.

1251
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:13,000
Morgan waiting at the play.

1252
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:16,000
First bench is up high, ball one.

1253
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:24,000
Morgan counting the last playoff game against Pittsburgh, now only for his last 13.

1254
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:28,000
0-4-9 in the World Series.

1255
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Here's a 1-0 pitch on the way.

1256
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,000
Slug on and pop in the air and five ground off to the left.

1257
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,000
Bando and Kettis converge. It's playable.

1258
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:42,000
And Bando has it. 1-0.

1259
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:47,000
Morgan John, up comes Bobby Tolus.

1260
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:50,000
Mention that the ladies have hit only one ball to the off field,

1261
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:53,000
a pop-slide or shadow center by a little, looking at the red,

1262
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:57,000
Perez slide to left in the second.

1263
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:01,000
And that's been it for Cincinnati.

1264
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:06,000
Bobby Tolus, rounded to Odom, rounded to Green in two serves.

1265
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:11,000
0-2, 1-10 in the series.

1266
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:19,000
One other ball hit to the off field by the Reds, a looping broken back single by Mention.

1267
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:22,000
Odom to the plate, change in shot.

1268
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:23,000
Ball one.

1269
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:34,000
So in the first five innings, between both clubs, three balls hit out of the infield.

1270
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:39,000
One out, H is at the end of the set.

1271
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,000
Odom to the plate, 1-0.

1272
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:46,000
Tolan swings and knickers, turned it over, one and one.

1273
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,000
Tolan out on the 19-71.

1274
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:54,000
Suffered a ruptured killing tendon in the basketball game in January of 71.

1275
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:59,000
Went to spring training, was with the club in the regular season, but on that her table led.

1276
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:05,000
And then re-rupted the tendon in Los Angeles in May, cut out the entire year.

1277
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:09,000
Two one-fifths, written tie, ball two, good one, off two-fifths.

1278
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:14,000
Thanks, John.

1279
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:18,000
Odom and Fialen occurred, is allowed one hit.

1280
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:24,000
He's lost two, struck out eight.

1281
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:27,000
The right-hander ready, and there's two one-fifths, who's down low.

1282
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:32,000
Tolan sets the plane, ball three, three at one.

1283
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:39,000
The reg of that two-threat, Rose Watt in the third, so second, went to third on an error, but was stranded.

1284
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Then they had runners at first and third, with nobody out of the fifth, but Odom then proceeded to strike out the five.

1285
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:53,000
Three one-fifths, Tolan takes a step swing, they appeal a third, and it is a strike, according to Bill Halleck.

1286
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:58,000
A ball according to Mel Steiner, so the third-base on five.

1287
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:07,000
Over Ruehl, and it's three and two, and of course there's the catcher's option to add the blade on fire to check,

1288
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:13,000
which Steiner did, and Halleckers is trying to do a full-shot, as Tolan comes around.

1289
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Odom ready, and there's three two-fifths to Tolan, swung on in line foul, right field drive back in the red flow pan.

1290
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:29,000
And then to the net, Cincinnati nothing, Oakland nothing, in the sixth inning where the base is empty and one out.

1291
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:40,000
Odom into his lineup, and the three two-fifths to Tolan, swung on and missed, strikeout number nine.

1292
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Here comes Johnny Bench, and this is a familiar scene with Bench and the World Juries, coming up with nobody on base.

1293
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:58,000
Only one time in the three games has Bench come up with a runner on, and that was in the second game.

1294
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:03,000
He came up at one point with two on the man at first base, and that's it.

1295
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:08,000
Bench tonight has rounded the third and struck out, he's over two.

1296
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:14,000
Right-hander against right-hander, Johnny swings it, misses, foul, oh and a run.

1297
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:26,000
Will Moon Odom in the regular season, 86 strikeouts in 194 innings, and that's not that impressive, but here tonight in five and two-thirds, nine strikeouts.

1298
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:34,000
Oh, one pitch, breaking ball, a beauty on the outside, far more to.

1299
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:43,000
This is his five-ish season, nine strikeouts.

1300
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:53,000
Odom ready, and the O2 pitch on the way, missing the inside, one into the couch, Perez on deck.

1301
01:27:53,000 --> 01:28:02,000
The A's no run, two hits, two errors. The Reds no run, one hit, no errors.

1302
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:09,000
The Wind and the one-two pitch to Bench, in from the side, curve, all strike three.

1303
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:17,000
And the ball to Odom, in from the side, his strikeout, Bench, he strikes out two here in the sixth, he has 10 in six innings.

1304
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:21,000
The Reds go out one, two, three. No runs, no hits, nobody left.

1305
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:27,000
And at the end of five and a half, Cincinnati, nothing, Oakland, nothing.

1306
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:31,000
Broadcast has been brought to you in part by right guard, Andy Pursman.

1307
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:35,000
The one that really helps keep you dry when the action's hot.

1308
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:39,000
Right here, right guard is free to introduce a brand new Andy Pursman.

1309
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:45,000
Right guard, natural scent. It's got the same great left first fighter as regular right guard.

1310
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:50,000
And it's got a great new scent, made from natural ingredients, so it smells light and clean.

1311
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:53,000
Not heavy or artificial like a lot of other Andy Pursman.

1312
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:57,000
New right guard, natural scent, Andy Pursman.

1313
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:01,000
You like the way it works, and the new natural way it smells.

1314
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:06,000
No runs, one hit, no errors for Cincinnati, no runs, two hits, and two errors for Oakland.

1315
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:10,000
Hey, are you one of those guys who turns into a rough neck every morning?

1316
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:13,000
Does shaving leave your neck rough and irritated?

1317
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:20,000
If it does, let me tell you about a special kind of Gillette Foamy Face Saver, specially made for you rough neck.

1318
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:25,000
Face Saver has 25% more lubricants than any other foamy shave cream.

1319
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:31,000
For better protection against shaving irritation, even on the most sensitive part of your face, your neck.

1320
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:35,000
So if shaving irritation in your neck, get Foamy Face Saver.

1321
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:44,000
For the rough neck, they go to the open six, it's a bonus ball game, the top of the batting order for the A's, Campanella, Salou, and Rudy, and here's Al Marshall.

1322
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:48,000
Alright, Jim Campanella struck out in the first, sounded out in the third.

1323
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:54,000
Left-handed Dave Hamilton and right-handed Bob Locker are throwing in the A's full time.

1324
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:58,000
Campanella takes outside, ball one.

1325
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:02,000
Jack Fillingham allowing two hits, two fires.

1326
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:06,000
He has seven strikeouts. He's yielded one wash.

1327
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:08,000
Now Lou waits on that.

1328
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:13,000
Stores to be out, rambled in, day off because of rain, no batting practice in two days.

1329
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,000
1-0 pitch, down low, ball two.

1330
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:18,000
And the pitchers have dominated tonight.

1331
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:23,000
Odom with a season high in strikeouts, the film was 10.

1332
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:30,000
Fillingham, who doesn't strike out that many, has seven in five innings.

1333
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:35,000
And only three hits in the game, one a broken bat hit and the other two infield hits.

1334
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:47,000
Campanella takes low, ball three. 3-0.

1335
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:53,000
Nenke in on the grass, the third. The 3-0 pitch, this is low, ball four.

1336
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:57,000
So Campanella draws a walk, the second given up by Fillingham.

1337
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:00,000
The A's have a man at first, nobody out.

1338
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:14,000
Mattie Allou, the batter, rounded out in the first, slide out in the fourth.

1339
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:19,000
Nenke in on the grass, the third. Staney and Morgan halfway.

1340
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:23,000
Perez the first, Odom, Campanella, is down.

1341
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,000
Alfield, down low, and the round third left.

1342
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:29,000
The stretch and the pitch, he's around the bump, takes his strike as he lets it go by.

1343
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:38,000
And Lou questions the call by Steiner, 0-1.

1344
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:47,000
Campanella with ten strikeouts, most strikeouts by a pitcher in a third game, 17 by Bob Gibson in 1968 against the Tigers.

1345
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:58,000
Next would be 15 by Kofax in 1963, Fanny, pitching the empty Yankees.

1346
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:03,000
Fillingham's set, the checker first, strike one, pitch, is a butt up the line for the third.

1347
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:13,000
Perez the first, Morgan has to come off the bench, and he stays the first base.

1348
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:22,000
They will give bench a throwing error.

1349
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:27,000
And I believe it will be a double error.

1350
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:33,000
An error on bench and then an error on Morgan, E2 and E4.

1351
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:36,000
Rocky Anderson is going to the mound in the bullpen for the Reds.

1352
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:42,000
Pedro Borbosa starts to warm up, and we've got 30 seconds for stations identification.

1353
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:44,000
Seven o'clock, KTW Portland, Oregon.

1354
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:50,000
The radio bringing you this World Series is just one of the many electrical conveniences you can enjoy in your home.

1355
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Portland General Electric Company can help you save electricity and still enjoy this convenience.

1356
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:01,000
The PGE's new 12-page booklet called the Watt Watchers Guide shows you the way.

1357
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:05,000
Inside you'll find energy-saving tips you can use throughout your home.

1359
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:18,000
Remember, electricity does so many good things for you. You don't want to waste it.

1360
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:25,000
Rocky Anderson out of the mound, and as he made his way out, he was catching with Frank Humon at the first base on fire.

1361
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:29,000
Then Bench fielded the bunt, wheeled and fired the first base.

1362
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:35,000
Joe Morgan had to come off the bag on the high throw, so Louis Saver, Campanaris at second.

1363
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:39,000
Then Bench went toward the first base on fire to start arguing.

1364
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:44,000
Morgan started to argue. Perez was coming back the first baseman.

1365
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:47,000
He started on Humon, and nobody called time.

1366
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Then Morgan turned and threw to Bobby Coder in the center fielder.

1367
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:55,000
He was backing in behind Campanaris, the runner, but just rolling off his glove.

1368
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:58,000
Campanaris goes to third, and so the A's have their biggest threat.

1369
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:00,000
Here we go. Rudy is the batter.

1370
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,000
Stuck out of the first.

1371
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:03,000
Singled in the fourth.

1372
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:05,000
Infia plays in. Rudy swings and misses.

1373
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,000
Going one.

1374
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:11,000
A double-air on the flooring. Bench and Morgan, E2 and E4.

1375
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:15,000
And so each club now has two errors.

1376
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:18,000
Joe Rudy, three for nine on the World Series.

1377
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:20,000
Campanaris to third.

1378
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,000
Ballot is first.

1379
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:27,000
Nobody out.

1380
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:32,000
Sillingham back to the plate, breaking fifth inside, one and one.

1381
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:37,000
Pedro Borbon, working in the bullpen for the Reds.

1382
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:41,000
Bob Locker, in the A's there.

1383
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Hamilton was up.

1384
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:50,000
Now Locker throws the ball.

1385
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,000
Now it feels stated to his right.

1386
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:55,000
The stretch and a one-one pitch on the way.

1387
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:56,000
One out of this.

1388
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:57,000
Leaping curve.

1389
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:58,000
One and two.

1390
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:00,000
On back is Mike Epstein.

1391
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:02,000
No score.

1392
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:04,000
Final of the sixth inning.

1393
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:06,000
Berg Campanaris to third.

1394
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,000
Maddie Lue is first.

1395
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Nobody out.

1396
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:20,000
Sillingham now calls John Wons Morgan to come in.

1397
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:25,000
Mike Epstein waiting on that.

1398
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:28,000
The A's no runs, two hits, two errors.

1399
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:36,000
The Reds no runs, one hit, two errors.

1400
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:39,000
Sillingham hands on knees.

1401
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:43,000
Here is the set.

1402
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:46,000
The one-two pitch to Rudy is going on and grounded third.

1403
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:50,000
Manky does not tag Campanaris but throws the first for the outs.

1404
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,000
The Reds almost had a bizarre double play.

1405
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:53,000
They get one out.

1406
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:54,000
Lue goes to second.

1407
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,000
Campanaris alertly holds third.

1408
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,000
The ball hit right to the back of third.

1409
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:03,000
Manky sealed it and tried to tag Campanaris sliding back in.

1410
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:08,000
But Campy was safe and then Denny alertly got up by the first to get the out there.

1411
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:11,000
So the Reds almost did a double play, settle for one.

1412
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:18,000
And with first base open they will walk Epstein intentionally to road to bases and get to Bando.

1413
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:26,000
A lot of memorable things in this World Series so far, Jim Simpson, in Wally and game three.

1414
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:32,000
Now each team has had its chances out and they've got them again on the course with first base open and one up.

1415
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:42,000
They're putting Epstein, a left-handed springer, to clean up battered 20-2-0 runs on the on-base so they can play for the double play and bring up Sal Bando.

1416
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:45,000
And Bando has not been affected recently, as we said.

1417
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:49,000
He's had five singles now and has had 37 times a back.

1418
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,000
A little repeater to come up with a basic load.

1419
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,000
He comes up with a basic load and there's only one out.

1420
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:57,000
Bando led the team in game-winning RBR.

1421
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:02,000
He's the captain and he now has a chance here in the quarter-six.

1422
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:12,000
Sal Bando, busted in the second inning, tried to sacrifice Epstein and bunded into a four-shot and then he stuck out in the fourth.

1423
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:16,000
Holds the two. Reds can feel the double play depth except for Reds' first base.

1424
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:19,000
He's hit on the grass. Bando takes down low, ball one.

1425
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:25,000
Base is loaded. Campanera's the third.

1426
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:30,000
Lewis second. Epstein is first.

1427
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:35,000
One out, no score, sixth inning.

1428
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,000
Gillingham ready. Back to the play that comes.

1429
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:43,000
And Bando is at ground to the Morgan. Should be two. Goes to short for one. Chaney the first, double play.

1430
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,000
And the Reds get out of it.

1431
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:49,000
Sal Bando hits into a four-six-three double play.

1432
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,000
And the A's go down into sixth inning.

1433
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:57,000
They had runners at first and third with nobody out. No runs, no hits, two errors, two runners left.

1434
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:00,000
At the end of sixth, no score.

1435
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:05,000
Once again, I'm very proud to represent Chrysler Plymouth.

1436
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:09,000
They've got some good-looking new cars for 73.

1437
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:14,000
For instance, the Plymouth Fury, it's a beautiful automobile.

1438
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:19,000
And part of the beauty of it is the way they put the engines together.

1439
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:25,000
They've got an engine plant in Detroit that turns out 15,000 V8s a week.

1440
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:33,000
And they test every one of them with some machines that they call engine function testers.

1441
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:37,000
And these testers have electronic sensors. Nobody else has got them.

1442
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:41,000
These gizmos find things wrong that people don't find.

1443
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:46,000
And they find them before they put the engine in the car.

1444
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:52,000
That's the kind of thing that makes the Fury run better inside while it looks good outside.

1445
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Isn't that the kind of car we've all been looking for?

1446
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:03,000
Plymouth Fury, extra care in engineering. It makes a difference.

1447
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:06,000
Back in Oakland, California with Al Michaels, this is Jim Simpson.

1448
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:11,000
Well, everybody has had their chances in this ballgame. They can't go home saying they never have them.

1449
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:16,000
Quite the Reds have had man as far as their base and they'll bring him in.

1450
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:20,000
And now for the first time, Oakland loaded the bases.

1451
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:24,000
The third man put on a dense lead to fill up the double play that's worked out that way.

1452
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:25,000
Still no scores.

1453
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:28,000
We now go to the Cincinnati Sevens in the third game of the World Series.

1454
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:29,000
The News out.

1455
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,000
All right, Jim, Tony Perez lead drop.

1456
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,000
He has hit the most prodigious blast of the game.

1457
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:37,000
A routine fly ball to left field.

1458
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:43,000
Believe it or not, for six things, that's the longest ball that's been hit in the game.

1459
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:46,000
Fly to left and suck out in two steps, go for two.

1460
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,000
In the World Series, he's four for nine.

1461
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:52,000
Odom to the plate, down low, ball one.

1462
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:57,000
One and no to count.

1463
01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:05,000
Perez, Menkes, and Geronimo in the seventh inning.

1464
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:09,000
Odom ready, back he comes, Perez takes a five, all two.

1465
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:11,000
Two and no.

1466
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,000
Odom has blocked two, he's stuck out ten.

1467
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:22,000
The only hit for the Reds, a broken back single by Dennis Menkes in the second inning.

1468
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:28,000
Odom has stuck out at least one Red in every inning except the second.

1469
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:30,000
And the two-oh pitch on the way.

1470
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:34,000
Over the first line, two and one.

1471
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:38,000
Odom coming over the top, three-quarters, giant arm.

1472
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:45,000
He's thrown just about every pitch in his repertoire except the blooper pitch tonight.

1473
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Here's a two-one pitch on the way.

1474
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:50,000
Swung on the ground and in the left field for a base hit.

1475
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:52,000
So the Reds have their second hit.

1476
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:55,000
Tony Perez singles to left.

1477
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,000
East Club now has two hits.

1478
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,000
Then up comes Dennis Menkes.

1479
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,000
He singles in the second and walks in the fifth.

1480
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:04,000
And the A's will get busy in the bullpen.

1481
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:08,000
Final blue, hustling down from the A's dugout to start to heat up.

1482
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,000
Blue will not start in the World Series.

1483
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:14,000
At least that's the way Dick Williams plans it at the moment.

1484
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:16,000
He'll work out in the bullpen.

1485
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:21,000
And that's where he is right now.

1486
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:23,000
Dennis Menkes, punch, back toward the man.

1487
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,000
Odom has it, has to go to first with it.

1488
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:27,000
In time there, Epstein covers.

1489
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:30,000
And down the second goes Perez.

1490
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:32,000
Sacrifice one to three.

1491
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,000
The Reds have a tie-breaking run at second.

1492
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:36,000
Perez is there with one out.

1493
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,000
Take time to run them all.

1494
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:39,000
They're coming up.

1495
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:46,000
Lolley fingers joining final blue in the open bullpen.

1496
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:51,000
Dave Concepcion will start to get ready in the Reds' bullpen.

1497
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:55,000
The other shortstop, Taney, is due to bat next.

1498
01:41:55,000 --> 01:42:01,000
And Clark Anderson may have designed to hit one.

1499
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:07,000
Geronimo the batter, rounded out, reached down in there, 0 for 2.

1500
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Left-hand batter takes down low, ball one.

1501
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:17,000
Geronimo Hitless in the World Series, 0 for 9, robbed on a great play by Mike Keegan Sunday.

1502
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:24,000
Hit 275 during the regular season with four home runs, 29 runs behind him.

1503
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:25,000
Hold him ready.

1504
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,000
It's check is checking.

1505
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:30,000
And the 1-0 pitch on the way is lined up the middle for a base hit.

1506
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,000
The ball's going on the grass.

1507
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:34,000
Perez around third, comes in with fourth.

1508
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:38,000
He falls down but gets up and fairs scores.

1509
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,000
Big, big break for the Reds.

1510
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:45,000
As Perez fell down, rounding third, but got up and came in to score.

1511
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:51,000
And it's 1-0 Cincinnati, and only because the grass is so wet in the outfield.

1512
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:54,000
And only because George Hendricks thought he had no chance at all.

1513
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:58,000
And because the cutoff man Green had no idea he hit his back to the play.

1514
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,000
He didn't see the runner fall down.

1515
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:03,000
He had the ball, leisurely thrown to him.

1516
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:07,000
By the time it got to Green, he may not have had a play, but still he made no play.

1517
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:08,000
Had no idea.

1518
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:11,000
And as the first one in the ball game, Perez crosses home plate.

1519
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:14,000
Ketter Jean-Tenis just threw up his arms in despair.

1520
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:18,000
1-0 is takes out Geronimo, singles to center.

1521
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:23,000
And Perez, despite falling down, rounding third, scores to make it 1-0.

1522
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:29,000
Chaney the batter, he's struck out twice.

1523
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:32,000
Geronimo at first.

1524
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:39,000
He's held on by Epstein.

1525
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:43,000
Hold him ready and goes to first base, and very nearly sets him off.

1526
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:44,000
Geronimo getting back.

1527
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:50,000
And there's a throw for Bowen, up and throwing again in the Cincinnati bullpen.

1528
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:56,000
So a single by Perez, a sacrifice by Minkie, a single by Geronimo, 1-0 red.

1529
01:43:56,000 --> 01:44:01,000
Hold him ready, Atlanta first, and the pitch, Chaney, it's a high fly ball to left center field.

1530
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:06,000
Hendricks moves to his right, waits for it, makes the cut, two down.

1531
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:10,000
All the way they talk about things and rehash things in any World Series game.

1532
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:14,000
This was not a flagrant as when Johnny Pepke held onto the ball in the 46th World Series

1533
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:18,000
and Boston played the Cardinals, but the fact that Hendricks does not huffle on the ball

1534
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:22,000
and Green did not look around is going to be talked about quite a bit.

1535
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:27,000
It's an earned run, but you wonder should it have scored since Perez fell down.

1536
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:37,000
It is a first earned run against Dodum in the last 25 innings.

1537
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:42,000
Jack Dillingham bounced out in the third inning, struck out in the fifth.

1538
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:47,000
Right hand batter hit 170 during the year, hit 070 rather during the year.

1539
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:52,000
No homers, throw to first base, Geronimo back.

1540
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:55,000
Now field skating Dillingham around toward right.

1541
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:59,000
Bando even with a bag of third, another throw to first.

1542
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:03,000
Matty O'Loughlin right field, there's a weird fact, he is playing so close to the right field line

1543
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:10,000
against the right handed batter.

1544
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:14,000
Picks on the way to Dillingham, is chopped on the ground, it is a foul ball.

1545
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:24,000
Right side fielded by Epstein who is standing in clear territory, but the ball foul 0-1.

1546
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:29,000
Reds on top, 1-0 in the seventh inning.

1547
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:38,000
Right side Geronimo at first base, 2 down.

1548
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:45,000
Time call as the ball got loose from the bullpen, the A's fan where Vita Blue is throwing along with Roddy Fingers.

1549
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:49,000
More bone back down now in the reds fan.

1550
01:45:49,000 --> 01:46:08,000
Odom ready, 0-1 pick swung on, and that's 0-2. Pidro on back.

1551
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:15,000
Odom at the belt, and a second pick, Dillingham swings and punches his foul.

1552
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:22,000
A lot of memorable plays in the game, the confusion at first base on the part of the A's with Epstein and Green and Odom in the fifth inning.

1553
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:25,000
But Odom worked out of that.

1554
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:29,000
In the play where the Reds either thought they had scrawled time or neglected to,

1555
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:33,000
that might have led to an A's run in the sixth inning.

1556
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:42,000
But Dillingham worked out of that, and Perez falling down and scoring here in the seventh inning to give the Reds a 1-0 lead.

1557
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:48,000
It's like you pitch down the way, Dillingham swings and misses, and down he goes, it's number 11 for Blue Monota.

1558
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:54,000
Reds down in the seventh, but they get a run. Two hits leave one at the end of sixth and a half.

1559
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:58,000
Cincinnati won, Oakland nothing.

1560
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:01,000
People who don't hate it drink it.

1561
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:04,000
Don't start on a new diet, try it.

1562
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:07,000
You don't have to give up good taste to save on calories.

1563
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:26,000
It's like cola tastes so good, everybody likes it.

1564
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:31,000
At Rhodes we have got a lot to share,

1565
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:36,000
and we care about the people who shop here.

1566
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:41,000
We'll give you good reason to stop here.

1567
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:44,000
Just think of Rhodes as your store.

1568
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:51,000
Exclusively at Rhodes, the main caller, this battery-operated automatic telephone caller instantly dials any of 38 members you most often call.

1569
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:56,000
Convenient, accurate focus for home or office, and at Rhodes, downtown and gateway.

1570
01:47:56,000 --> 01:48:00,000
716 KTW Portland, Oregon.

1571
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:06,000
Since there's only been one run in the ball game, and that's just been scored, we better recount again what happened.

1572
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:10,000
Reds got a solid ground ball base, this was a left field, was sacrificed along by Menke,

1573
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:14,000
run of the line to single the center, Henrik did not charge the ball at all.

1574
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:17,000
Reds had been waged in and Henrik had given up, he thought he would score.

1575
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:23,000
He fell down, nobody was looking, who did the cutoff man? Green wasn't looking, and Reds got up and scored.

1576
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Very Henrik leads off at the broken bat looper, the left center, Rhodes and Cullen converge, and it's Cullen for the catch.

1577
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:37,000
One away, one pitch, one out of the seventh inning, Dean Pinnix the batter, the number seven hitter, rounded out of the second inning,

1578
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:40,000
stuck out in the fifth.

1579
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:48,000
Jack Dillingham has really been magnificent through sixth and the third, he's allowed two hits, one a bunch single, the other an infield hit.

1580
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:56,000
One ball has been hit to the outfield and that little looper, just out on the grass, it's down to the center, caught by Cullen.

1581
01:48:56,000 --> 01:49:01,000
A strike to Dennis, 0-1.

1582
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:05,000
Dillingham has walked three, one intentionally, he's stuck out seven.

1583
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:15,000
Jack back to the plate, back ball swung on, grounded to the short, Chaney stays with it, straightens up, throws him out, two down.

1584
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:19,000
Dick Green is due up, and we're going to see a pinch hitter.

1585
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:25,000
Gonzalo Marquez is coming up.

1586
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:34,000
Green had done one for Cedar Knight, rounding out and feeding out an infield roller for a base hit.

1587
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:37,000
And now Marquez comes up to bat for him.

1588
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:42,000
Gonzalo Marquez, eight for 21 during the regular season.

1589
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:49,000
All eight hits for singles, delivered a big hit in the first playoff game with Detroit.

1590
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:58,000
Left-handed batter from Venezuela takes the ball down low, 1-0.

1591
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:02,000
Dillingham ready, back he comes, Marquez swings and shots it out outside first.

1592
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:08,000
Marquez in the eighth inning on Saturday appeared as a pinch hitter for Green and popped out.

1593
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:12,000
Didn't play on Sunday, so he's 0-1 in the World Series.

1594
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:23,000
1-1 to count, two outs, bases empty, bottom of the seventh inning, 1-0 Cincinnati.

1595
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:29,000
The 1-1 set down the way, off-speed set missing, ball two, 2-1.

1596
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:37,000
Tomorrow, game four, Don Gullet works for the Reds and Ken Holtzman for Oakland.

1597
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:40,000
Will be on the air at 520 Pacific Time.

1598
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:47,000
2-1 pick, one down and missed, slider, 2-2.

1599
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:54,000
Marquez during the regular season as a pinch hitter, seven for 15.

1600
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:58,000
2-2 pick down the way, chops foul off his foot.

1601
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:10,000
Blue Moon Odom is due up next, nobody is out on deck for the A's.

1602
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:15,000
By the blue and that's Joe Forland throwing in the bullpen before open.

1603
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:18,000
Raleigh Fenyers had been throwing.

1604
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:22,000
Here's the 2-2 pitch on the way, going on grounded off the glove of Dillingham.

1605
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:28,000
Morgan back in second, is off balance, so not in time.

1606
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:30,000
And the A's have the time run out.

1607
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:35,000
Dillingham, I believe, got just a piece of it as it went by the mound.

1608
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:41,000
Morgan able to glove it behind second, but is so not in time.

1609
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:45,000
Marquez beats it out.

1610
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:55,000
Second is now coming out of the dugout to hit for Blue Moon Odom.

1611
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:59,000
So Odom leaves after working seven and cracking at 11.

1612
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:07,000
Alan Lewis comes in to run for Marquez at first base.

1613
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:14,000
Lewis activated when Reggie Jackson did not play in the World Series.

1614
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:19,000
Lewis is first, held on by Perez.

1615
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:21,000
The time run.

1616
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:24,000
The second, the pitch to Mike Egan is hit in the other center field.

1617
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:28,000
Bobby Holden is there and waiting, makes the catch for a tie on the side.

1618
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:36,000
A's go down on the seventh, no runs are hit, they leave one and at the end of seventh, Cincinnati won, Oakland nothing.

1619
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:38,000
Hi, Johnny Bench Fran, Coinshield Wipers.

1620
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:44,000
Can you imagine the reaction if a manager told his team that he was supplying them with baseball bats that weren't absolutely the best?

1621
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:48,000
Well your team, that is your family, deserves the best too.

1622
01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:50,000
Anco Winsfield wiper blades.

1623
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:54,000
If your present wipers are streaking, replace them with Anco wipers.

1624
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:57,000
Look for the service station with the bright yellow Anco cabinets.

1625
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:00,000
They can snap on new blades while you are gassing up.

1626
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:03,000
Tell them you heard about Anco from Johnny Bench.

1627
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,000
This year almost all the new cars have the same.

1628
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:13,000
Most of the 1973 models are designed to run on low octane gasoline, like Gulf Tain.

1629
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:15,000
The owner's manual says so.

1630
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:20,000
Check the recommendation in your owner's manual and try a tank full of Gulf Tain.

1631
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:26,000
It has the performance out of this package you'd expect from Gulf and it costs even less than Gulf Regular.

1632
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:28,000
So why pay more than you have to?

1633
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:37,000
Try Gulf Tain, the low-cost gasoline for new cars.

1634
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:41,000
Then coming to our Michael, we have a couple of changes since Green was batted for.

1635
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:47,000
Ted Kubiak has gone into play second base and since Odom was batted for, guess who?

1636
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:49,000
Byda Blue has come in.

1637
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:55,000
Blue who sealed the playoff championship with his excellent binnings of relief from the final game against the Swets.

1638
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:59,000
Now we've got Kenny Holtzman in the first game of the World Series has come on.

1639
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:05,000
Byda Blue and he'll face the top of the batting order, Rose Morgan and told him as Rose will switch around to the right side.

1640
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:11,000
One of the keys now we've been talking about at both ends is he keeps the highly favored Cincinnati Red.

1641
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:18,000
The left-handers have to be able to handle the top three of the batting order, forcing Rose over to the right side and then getting Morgan and told it.

1642
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:28,000
One-to-nothing on that play back in the seventh inning which Perez fell rounding third base but nobody really threw home considering that he would score easily

1643
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:33,000
and perhaps a missed opportunity, perhaps the game would still be sorted, but it is not.

1644
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:35,000
It is one-to-nothing.

1645
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:41,000
Byda Blue has had to come on in and here comes Pete Rose and here comes Elmer.

1646
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:46,000
All right, then Pete Rose has stuck out twice and walks.

1647
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:51,000
He's batting right-handed for the first time in the game and he hits a line drive backhanded by Kubiak.

1648
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:53,000
Great play for the out.

1649
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:57,000
So it doesn't matter who plays second base for the eight tonight, they're going to do the job.

1650
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:05,000
Dick Green had great play earlier this game of the run and Kubiak comes in, Rose hits the first, steps up the middle and Kubiak had great backhand play for the out.

1651
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:06,000
One down.

1652
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:13,000
And in the first game of the World Series Kubiak came on in the ninth inning and made two plays, one of them a fine play to retire the side.

1653
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:16,000
Again, again, great opportunity, same thing happened tonight.

1654
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:17,000
That is Joe Morgan.

1655
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:22,000
He stuck out, bowed out and three-tips, takes a back ball very high, ball one.

1656
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:25,000
Byda Blue on Saturday in game one, picks up a save.

1657
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:31,000
We're at two in the third inning, no runs, one hit, one walk, one strikeout.

1658
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:35,000
Here's a one-oh-fix, back ball missing high, ball two.

1659
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:40,000
Blue in the playoffs, appeared in four games, we're at five in the third inning, gave up no runs, four hits.

1660
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:45,000
So in postseason competition he has been tough.

1661
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:49,000
Two-oh-fix, a five, ball three, three and over count.

1662
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:51,000
Bando in on the grass, the third.

1663
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:53,000
Poland on back.

1664
01:55:53,000 --> 01:56:00,000
Cincinnati won, Oakland nothing, one out, base is empty, top of the eighth.

1665
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:04,000
Blue checking into his lineup and the pitch gives his sight.

1666
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:05,000
Three and one.

1667
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:19,360
beaches banner side started to go to first base and they're levels behind flat

1668
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:25,400
Now field is shading Morgan a bit left.

1669
01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:27,220
Hedrick in center.

1670
01:56:27,220 --> 01:56:32,620
Shaded toward left there, Loura in right field playing deep

1671
01:56:32,620 --> 01:56:34,000
Three-one to southback.

1672
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:41,000
Bandoor third, Rudy in left, Kendrick in center, and Alou in right.

1673
01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:48,600
The one by blue and the three-two pitch to Morgan is high, ball four.

1674
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:51,960
So Morgan, who led the majors in walks this season,

1675
01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:54,400
draws his first walk of the night

1676
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:56,960
and his second walk of the World Series,

1677
01:56:56,960 --> 01:56:58,720
and Bobby Nolan is coming up.

1678
01:56:58,720 --> 01:57:01,640
In the bullpen for the Reds, right-hander

1679
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:07,960
Gary Nolan is throwing and he's getting some work between starting figures to work

1680
01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:09,240
in the fifth game,

1681
01:57:09,240 --> 01:57:16,240
if a fifth game is necessary on Friday afternoon.

1682
01:57:16,560 --> 01:57:20,400
Bobby Nolan, grounded out in the first, grounded out in the fourth,

1683
01:57:20,400 --> 01:57:22,240
struck out in the sixth.

1684
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:29,240
Blue goes to first base, a high throw, and Epstein has to reach way up to save it.

1685
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:36,240
This is only the second time that Morgan has been on base in the series.

1686
01:57:37,240 --> 01:57:41,440
Walked in the first game Saturday,

1687
01:57:41,440 --> 01:57:47,440
but he had rows on ahead of him so he didn't steal. He didn't have a chance to steal.

1688
01:57:47,440 --> 01:57:49,960
The next pitch is right.

1689
01:57:49,960 --> 01:57:51,360
Oh, and one.

1690
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:55,880
He's also been on one other time on an error in checking back, that's right, on Sunday in the fifth inning,

1691
01:57:55,880 --> 01:58:02,880
and he did steal a base.

1692
01:58:02,880 --> 01:58:05,280
Morgan away to a good-sized lead at first.

1693
01:58:05,280 --> 01:58:06,480
Tolan waiting.

1694
01:58:06,480 --> 01:58:08,600
Bando in channel at third.

1695
01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:13,600
Blue is set, a check of the runner, and the pitch to Tolan is bounded right back through the middle.

1696
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:14,400
It's a day-tick.

1697
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:17,440
Bill Morgan, around second, on his way to third, in there easily.

1698
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:21,440
Tolan goes halfway to second and heads back, and Johnny Banks will come up,

1699
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:24,440
finally, with a chance to do some damage.

1700
01:58:24,440 --> 01:58:25,600
Bobby Nolan,

1701
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:30,600
coming up to center, and the big play now is Kubiak, otherwise the Reds would have had a runoff, Blue.

1702
01:58:30,600 --> 01:58:34,600
Kubiak, a great play to Rob Rose for the first out.

1703
01:58:34,600 --> 01:58:36,600
Then a walk to Morgan, now a single by Tolan.

1704
01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:38,600
So the Reds look for insurance,

1705
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:49,600
Bench is the batter, and the A's again will swing into action in the bullpen as Robbie Fingers tries to heat up for the second time.

1706
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:54,600
Johnny Banks, facing Blue Moon Odom tonight, rounded out and stuck out twice.

1707
01:58:54,600 --> 01:59:05,600
Looking at Odom's line, he worked seven innings, he gave up one run, three hits, walked two, struck out 11.

1708
01:59:05,600 --> 01:59:14,600
Heating at the mound, Bando is there, and Dick Williams is coming out now to discuss the possibilities with Banks.

1709
01:59:14,600 --> 01:59:16,600
Dick Williams making his way to the mound.

1710
01:59:16,600 --> 01:59:24,600
As he does, we will pause 30 seconds for station identification.

1711
01:59:24,600 --> 01:59:29,600
KTW, Portland, Oregon.

1712
01:59:29,600 --> 01:59:38,600
At Rose we have got a lot to share, and we care about the people who stop here.

1713
01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:43,600
We'll give you good reason to stop here.

1714
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:46,600
Think of Rhodes as you soar.

1715
01:59:46,600 --> 01:59:49,600
PhoneBase, the automatic answering service that records incoming messages.

1716
01:59:49,600 --> 01:59:51,600
Gives your pre-recorded message to callers.

1717
01:59:51,600 --> 01:59:53,600
Even lets you know who's calling without lifting the receiver.

1718
01:59:53,600 --> 01:59:57,600
Perfect for home or office, just 139.50 at Rhodes, downtown, and Gateway.

1719
01:59:57,600 --> 02:00:02,600
After the walk, a hard hit for all the Bulls, a walk to Morgan, and a single by Tolan.

1720
02:00:02,600 --> 02:00:06,600
Putting in on first and third, and the right hand of Johnny Banks coming up first.

1721
02:00:06,600 --> 02:00:10,600
Catcher Dean Tennes went out, shot to Vita Blue.

1722
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:17,600
Then Tennes was standing around talking, started back, and then Sal Vando came over to start the talk to Vita Blue.

1723
02:00:17,600 --> 02:00:23,600
And then when the Empire of Milk Gunners started to wave him away, then Dick Williams came out, and all the while,

1724
02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:27,600
Raleigh Fingers was warming up.

1725
02:00:27,600 --> 02:00:34,600
So Blue, responsible for the two men on base, he worked a third of an inning, gave up a walk, and hit by far and away.

1726
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:44,600
His least impressive hit-beat performance in either a playoff series game or in a World Series.

1727
02:00:44,600 --> 02:00:48,600
The scores 1-0 here in the Cincinnati 8.

1728
02:00:48,600 --> 02:00:53,600
Running the base as well as Morgan took off, despite the fact he's had a bad foot,

1729
02:00:53,600 --> 02:00:58,600
despite the fact that he pulled up limping noticeably when he was thrown out on the great play by Dick Green.

1730
02:00:58,600 --> 02:01:06,600
Morgan Stewart from first to third, running on the one-out pitch to Bobby Cholum, which he lined up in the middle of center field.

1731
02:01:06,600 --> 02:01:11,600
Raleigh Fingers who comes in connection with Morton comes on, and Fingers warms up.

1732
02:01:11,600 --> 02:01:17,600
Fingers, like, well, you can name them on the Cincinnati ball club, I'm sure, and Jack Villingham was one of them.

1733
02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:22,600
Fingers is one of those, and when he gets out there to throw, he is unaware of the importance of the pressure.

1734
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:24,600
He is aware of the situation.

1735
02:01:24,600 --> 02:01:29,600
He is aware now that he's got Morgan at third and told on a very fast man at first save.

1736
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:34,600
He's aware, of course, that he's looking for the double play ball and the strikeout that Johnny meant.

1737
02:01:34,600 --> 02:01:40,600
And Beck has been struck out in white by right-handers tonight, and those right-handers are the same man, John Bluebird Otis.

1738
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:46,600
First time up, John bounced to third, then he was called out looking at a fast ball of the fourth,

1739
02:01:46,600 --> 02:01:52,600
and he was perhaps guessing fast ball of the sixth, and took a curve called strike three.

1740
02:01:52,600 --> 02:01:59,600
Fingers who fixed them 65 games during the 1972 season.

1741
02:01:59,600 --> 02:02:07,600
That is then very much an evidence for the World Tiers in playoff steps in with one out, then a first and third to fake Johnny Bent.

1742
02:02:07,600 --> 02:02:11,600
Now, Robbie Fingers making his third appearance in the World Tirees.

1743
02:02:11,600 --> 02:02:16,600
Bent goes for three, told and goes, and Bent swings on the first pitch and bounces straight back.

1744
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:24,600
0-1-1. Fingers worked an inning and a third on Saturday. No runs in the hits came on on Sunday to face Fooley and Javier,

1745
02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:31,600
with the tying run on base and retired Javier, the one man he faced to pick up the save and relief of Capsis Hunter.

1746
02:02:31,600 --> 02:02:39,600
During the season, Fingers appeared in 65 games. He was 11-9, 21 saves, a 2-5-1 earned run average.

1747
02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:46,600
The next pitch, Bent swings top to south, back to a deceitful amount of play in the counter zone two.

1748
02:02:46,600 --> 02:02:56,600
Reds won, A's nothing, in the eighth. Gilmorgan is third, Bobby told him in first, one out.

1749
02:02:56,600 --> 02:03:01,600
That scene is holding Tolan on. Campaneras and Kubiak are halfway.

1750
02:03:01,600 --> 02:03:11,600
Fingers a step back of the bag and about six or seven feet off the line, the third. Perez on back.

1751
02:03:11,600 --> 02:03:21,600
Fingers with a sign, Robbie set, and again over to first base.

1752
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:32,600
The rhythm started, blue in the eighth, working a third of an inning. And now Fingers. Dillon Hamer's done all the way for the red.

1753
02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:37,600
The stretch and the sack to pick down the way. Breaking ball just missing, ball one.

1754
02:03:37,600 --> 02:03:46,600
Tough pitch to lay off with two sacks, but Bent did it and he gets the call. One and two.

1755
02:03:46,600 --> 02:03:53,600
Fingers in 65, Gaines is here most on the A staff.

1756
02:03:53,600 --> 02:04:01,600
Robbie set, and again going over to first.

1757
02:04:01,600 --> 02:04:06,600
Morgan a third, Tolan a first, one out of the eighth inning.

1758
02:04:06,600 --> 02:04:14,600
Fingers at the belt. Here's a one-two, Tolan goes, Bent takes outside, Tennis drops the ball, and an uncontested steal for Tolan.

1759
02:04:14,600 --> 02:04:19,600
So the reds running on Tennis pick up their third, Tolan base of the game.

1760
02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:29,600
Rose stole second in the third. Geronimo stole in the fifth, and now Tolan. The count is two and two on Bent.

1761
02:04:29,600 --> 02:04:40,600
The A's infield is now in on the right side. Campanera's halfway on the left side and Vando back of the bag a third.

1762
02:04:40,600 --> 02:04:49,600
Fingers working out of his set. Here's a two-two pitch on the way. Got him swinging, but a foul tipped, and in and out of the glove of Tennis.

1763
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:54,600
He just got a piece of it. Foul tipped it and stays alive.

1764
02:04:54,600 --> 02:05:05,600
For an instant it looked like fingers had been stuck out, but Geronimo just got a piece, stays alive, and the count remains two and two.

1765
02:05:05,600 --> 02:05:12,600
Bench, Major League leader in home runs this year with 40, and it runs Vando in 125.

1766
02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:20,600
Three for nine in the World Series. Here's a two-two pitch on the way, foul back again.

1767
02:05:20,600 --> 02:05:31,600
One run, four hits, two errors for the reds. No runs, three hits, and two errors for the A's.

1768
02:05:31,600 --> 02:05:37,600
Outfield deep and around toward left. Fingers with a sign from Tennis.

1769
02:05:37,600 --> 02:05:48,600
The two-two on the way is outside. He comes in from the side, breaking pitch. Bench lays off, full count, and Williams wants to go to the mound.

1770
02:05:48,600 --> 02:05:58,600
I was wondering there after Tolan suited on a second base whether or not fingers might be doing one of those intentional, unintentional walks.

1771
02:05:58,600 --> 02:06:04,600
Allen with first base open. Maybe now they're discussing whether or not to put him on.

1772
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:09,600
The last couple of times he's thrown Johnny Curbs, one of which just missed for his called strike three.

1773
02:06:09,600 --> 02:06:13,600
And it was a curve ball of which Tolan got the good jump and easily sold second base.

1774
02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:20,600
A slow curve ball, Tennis had no chance to throw him out, and now with a count three and two and first base open, see what they've decided to do.

1775
02:06:20,600 --> 02:06:28,600
When you've got two strikes on a guy like Bench, you want to see if you can get that third. Big man to get. Perez waiting on deck, both out.

1776
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:35,600
Downing Hall was thought to throw in the Cincinnati bullpen, and the pitch on the way to Bench called strike three.

1777
02:06:35,600 --> 02:06:50,600
Am I wrong or did Tennis have us run out of it? He was calling for let's put him on base, but it did throw him Bench three.

1778
02:06:50,600 --> 02:07:06,600
Johnny pulled on a pitch, now they're going to walk Perez intentionally. And get to Menke with first base open.

1779
02:07:06,600 --> 02:07:12,600
Allen, you are so right. There's so many big plays in this ball game and another ball game.

1780
02:07:12,600 --> 02:07:17,600
Pickoff play at second base does not work, but the back of Bench, I believe, thoroughly was decoyed.

1781
02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:26,600
Tennis put his glove out, and then fingers blazed right down the middle for the call strike three.

1782
02:07:26,600 --> 02:07:32,600
Perez will go to first base as soon as the intentional walk is issued, and Menke will come out.

1783
02:07:32,600 --> 02:07:41,600
Most memorable game in the sense that I think when you go back and rehash it in a one to nothing game, it usually doesn't take a great deal of time to sum it up.

1784
02:07:41,600 --> 02:07:51,600
And going back over this one, so many plays you could go back and talk about and think about and what might have been, what could have been.

1785
02:07:51,600 --> 02:07:57,600
Most interesting one to nothing game I've ever seen.

1786
02:07:57,600 --> 02:08:11,600
Bases loaded. Two down, Menke the batter, single, walk, sacrifice, and three appearances. Fingers to the plate and Menke takes outside.

1787
02:08:11,600 --> 02:08:22,600
One and no the count. Morgan down the line from third. Bobby told him to wait from second.

1788
02:08:22,600 --> 02:08:39,600
Tony Perez off from third. And the one oh pitch on the way. Menke fouls it straight back and the count one and one.

1789
02:08:39,600 --> 02:08:51,600
One nothing red. Bases loaded. Two out. Eight and eight. One one pitch. Missing up and in ball two.

1790
02:08:51,600 --> 02:08:58,600
Fingers is 26 years old. He's from Ohio, born in Steubenville, now makes his home in California in the town of Hewitt.

1791
02:08:58,600 --> 02:09:06,600
Six four, one ninety five. Two one pitch. Popped foul off to the right out of play. Two and two.

1792
02:09:06,600 --> 02:09:16,600
Fingers has been with the A's since the end of the 1968 season. Part-time starter in 1970, started 19 games.

1793
02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:33,600
This year he worked exclusively from the bullpen. Two and two to go. The right hander ready. The two two pitch to Menke, swung on, fouled away again.

1794
02:09:33,600 --> 02:09:47,600
The crowd tonight is 49,410. 49,410 for the first World Series game ever played at the Oakland Coliseum. Two two on the way. Swung on and fouled back.

1795
02:09:47,600 --> 02:10:03,600
Straight back. Menke making fingers work as Robbie tries to work out of the jam. Reds leading one nothing.

1796
02:10:03,600 --> 02:10:23,600
Straight away. In field back with two down. Fingers line. Two two on the way. Swung on, lifted in the air. Right side might be playable. Epstein coming over to the boxy railing has no play. Lands on top of the top as he decided to dive into the stands to make the play but can't come up with it.

1797
02:10:23,600 --> 02:10:39,600
Good try by Epstein and he gets a nice hand. Very tough for Mike. Not only is he fighting the ball and the stands but that ground and foul territory is so soggy. Much soggier than the outfield there.

1798
02:10:39,600 --> 02:10:51,600
And you can hardly make your way through it. It's like trying to walk through a swamp.

1799
02:10:51,600 --> 02:11:02,600
Here's a two two pitch on the way. Menke sling, pops it in the air, foul ground right side. This time it is playable. Epstein is there with Kubiak and it's Kubiak for the count.

1800
02:11:02,600 --> 02:11:15,600
Menke fouls out to the second baseman and fingers get out of the jam in the eighth inning. No runs, one hit, no errors. Reds lead three and at the end of seven and a half. Cincinnati one, Oakland nothing.

1801
02:11:15,600 --> 02:11:23,600
This is Milo Hamilton. I call the play by play for the Atlanta Braves and I do the radio commercials for Delta, the official airline of the Braves.

1802
02:11:23,600 --> 02:11:34,600
When I talk about Delta, well I speak from experience. Last month I flew more than 16,000 miles on Delta. It was a rugged schedule but the Delta people made it as smooth as anyone could ask for.

1803
02:11:34,600 --> 02:11:53,600
Delta is an airline run by professionals, 24,000 professionals. Each highly skilled individual knows his job and gives it his best. That goes for the reservationist who confirms your space by DeltaMatic computer in three seconds, right onto the baggage handler who delivers your bags in an average time of seven minutes after you land.

1804
02:11:53,600 --> 02:12:08,600
It's what Delta calls total service. I'd like to recommend Delta Airlines to you. And I have one other suggestion for people who travel, the American Express Money Card. You can even extend payment for your Delta tickets on the sign and fly plan.

1805
02:12:08,600 --> 02:12:16,600
You're always ready to go with an American Express Money Card and Delta is ready when you are.

1806
02:12:16,600 --> 02:12:29,600
They got out of the last of the eighth inning in the top of the open batting order. Some fans out there, the adjuvants of Cincinnati Reds having left the bases loaded, have thrown some streamers out into deep right center field.

1807
02:12:29,600 --> 02:12:45,600
Could cause some trouble but then again nobody did one nearly that far tonight. As Alan and I have said, now so much as they're racing out and kind of as they cross the left field line, they're going out to pick up those streamers that are out there because somebody could have hit one out there and of course it could end up being a play.

1808
02:12:45,600 --> 02:12:55,600
But then again what else does not happen in this ball game? Men have fallen down. That man who did fall down got up to score the only run of the ball game and the A's were not too alert.

1809
02:12:55,600 --> 02:13:07,600
Johnny Benchapin has been decaught on the 3-2 pitch with men at second and third and was called out on strike. And there have been two errors by each team, two on one play by different men for the Cincinnati Reds.

1810
02:13:07,600 --> 02:13:21,600
The Reds quite had men as far as third base before they scored a run. On the third time they got one that far. And then of course Oakland had a beautiful opportunity in the sixth inning when they had the bases loaded and only one out.

1811
02:13:21,600 --> 02:13:28,600
They got Vando to ground into a double play. So it's one and nothing. It is the last of the eight. It is the top of the batting order. And again is out.

1812
02:13:28,600 --> 02:13:41,600
All right Jim Campanaris leaves off. The Lew and Ernie will follow. Jack Sillingham in seven innings has allowed no runs. Three hits. He's blocked three. One of those an intentional walk and he was stuck out seven.

1813
02:13:41,600 --> 02:14:02,600
Campanaris stuck out in the first. Grounded out in the third. Walked in the third. Right hand batters. Swing and shot to foul. 0-1. In the bullpen for the Reds. Left hander Tom Hall. Right hander Pedro Borbonas.

1814
02:14:02,600 --> 02:14:14,600
Jack Sillingham to the plate. Campanaris another good foul. Off to the right. 0-2.

1815
02:14:14,600 --> 02:14:32,600
Game four of the World Series tomorrow. Two left handers. John Gullick and Ken Holtzman. Back two pitch on the way. Outside ball one. Air time 8.20 each in time. Tomorrow night 5.20 out on the west coast. The Reds in the eighth.

1816
02:14:32,600 --> 02:14:45,600
One two pitch. That is Chloe Dementia third. And he up with it. Goes to first in time. Campanaris is gone. One out of the eighth inning. Out live the batters. What sort of a man is Jack Sillingham?

1817
02:14:45,600 --> 02:15:06,600
Well the Reds call him Rip for short. And that's short for Rip Van Winkle because he sleeps all the time. On planes, on the bus. Everywhere. Where's Sillingham when he's in his room sleeping? If you want him on the road. 10, 12. Up to 14 hours a day.

1818
02:15:06,600 --> 02:15:27,600
Pitch on the way. In first strike. 0-1. He's that relaxed. 0-1 pitch on the way. Breaking ball down. Low 1-1. Crowd tonight 49,410. That's a new attendance record for a baseball game at the Oakland Commiseum.

1819
02:15:27,600 --> 02:15:39,600
1-1 pitch. He's hit foul off to the right. 1-2. This is also a football park. Home of the Oakland Raiders of the NFL. And they play here on Sunday. And we'll play here again this coming Sunday.

1820
02:15:39,600 --> 02:16:01,600
So a busy week for the ground through it. All the rain and the World Series and a couple of football games. 1-2 pitch is down and up the line toward first base. It is a foul ball. Just barely foul. Now Lou, remained at the plate. Never even ran toward first base. And it almost cost him because Sillingham came over to try to field the ball.

1821
02:16:01,600 --> 02:16:23,600
And Perez was down with Jack and it just did roll foul. But Perez got to it. Could have been a most embarrassing situation for Lou. Rudy waits on that. And he's close to the bag of third.

1822
02:16:23,600 --> 02:16:39,600
1-2 pitch on the way. He's down to the short on three hops fielded by Chaney. Throws, gets him. Two down. But Sillingham has done tonight what he has to do. Kept the ball down. Everybody's been hitting the ball on the ground. Very few balls hitting the air tonight.

1823
02:16:39,600 --> 02:16:59,600
He's a thinker, flatter pitcher. Relies on control. And tonight he has been at his very, very best.

1824
02:16:59,600 --> 02:17:21,600
Joe Rudy the batter. Stuck out in the first. Singled in the fourth. Grounded out in the sixth. Sillingham to the plate. Ocstein ball one. 1-0.

1825
02:17:21,600 --> 02:17:35,600
Reds leading 1-0. In the eighth inning two out faces empty. 1-0 pitch on the way. Line foul right side. Down into the corner. Back of the bullpen. 1-1.

1826
02:17:35,600 --> 02:17:50,600
Mike Epstein waiting on that. The Reds one run four hits two errors. The A's no runs three hits and two errors.

1827
02:17:50,600 --> 02:17:59,600
Sillingham into his lineup. 1-1 pitch on the way. Just missing outside. 2-1. Sillingham from Florida.

1828
02:17:59,600 --> 02:18:08,600
Has a home down there but he also bought a home in Cincinnati. He's going to spend his first winter in the north this year living in Cincinnati. Never seen snow before.

1829
02:18:08,600 --> 02:18:24,600
He'll get a chance. Jack Reddy and a 2-1 pitch on the way. He's lifted foul down the right field line. Back out of play. 2-2.

1830
02:18:24,600 --> 02:18:33,600
Rudy one for three tonight. Three for ten in the series. 5-3-0-5 during the year. Led the American League in hits.

1831
02:18:33,600 --> 02:18:44,600
19 home runs. Reds playing them around toward right. Makes you very close to the line at third. Cutting down the chances of an extra base hit.

1832
02:18:44,600 --> 02:19:04,600
2-2 pitch on the way. Capsule. Reds leading 1-0 with a run in the seventh. Perez a single. He was sacrificed a second and then scored on a single by Geronimo despite falling down as he rounded third.

1833
02:19:04,600 --> 02:19:15,600
2-2 on Rudy. Sillingham ready in the 2-2 pitch. Breaking ball. Grounded to Manke at third. Dave Riddick straightens up and gets him to retire to size.

1834
02:19:15,600 --> 02:19:25,600
Campanera, Sallou and Rudy down one, two, three in the eighth. No runs, no hits and nobody left. The Reds come up in the ninth with the score. Cincinnati one, Oakland nothing.

1835
02:19:25,600 --> 02:19:39,600
Smith home twenty-sees reaches a milestone. This weekend marks their one-thousandth weekend special with sale values all week long. For example, you'll find Zinus' giant screen 19-inch diagonal major portable TV with Space Command remote control for only $168.

1836
02:19:39,600 --> 02:19:51,600

1837
02:19:51,600 --> 02:19:56,600
Smith, South East 30th and Division open weeknights to line Saturdays till fifth.

1838
02:19:56,600 --> 02:20:01,600
People who don't need it, drink it.

1839
02:20:01,600 --> 02:20:04,600
Don't start on a diet, start it.

1840
02:20:04,600 --> 02:20:11,600
You don't have to give up good taste to save on calories. Diet like cola tastes so good, everybody likes it.

1841
02:20:11,600 --> 02:20:25,600
Everybody likes it, everybody likes it, everybody likes it, everybody likes it, everybody likes it.

1842
02:20:25,600 --> 02:20:31,600
This is K3W in Portland at 748.

1843
02:20:31,600 --> 02:20:38,600
All in our Michael's-Ginn-Cincinn-this one to nothing ball game. It's the 7-8-9 hitters for the Cincinnati Reds who lead one to nothing in the ball game.

1844
02:20:38,600 --> 02:20:43,600
In the ball game and then when they go to the last of the night, this course should be the same.

1845
02:20:43,600 --> 02:20:45,600
Revenmint should be knocked the same.

1846
02:20:45,600 --> 02:20:47,600
It is up to Bando and Henrich.

1847
02:20:47,600 --> 02:20:50,600
The last gap for the A's trying to go three games up.

1848
02:20:50,600 --> 02:20:52,600
Reds are coming back here though.

1849
02:20:52,600 --> 02:20:56,600
They saw Geronimo lead drop and pop the foul off to the left out of play.

1850
02:20:56,600 --> 02:20:58,600
It was Geronimo who drove in.

1851
02:20:58,600 --> 02:21:01,600
They only run in the game in the seventh inning.

1852
02:21:01,600 --> 02:21:03,600
He's singled the drive in to Rez.

1853
02:21:03,600 --> 02:21:07,600
It's one to nothing, Cincinnati as the Reds try to close the gap.

1854
02:21:07,600 --> 02:21:09,600
A's won the first two games in the series.

1855
02:21:09,600 --> 02:21:11,600
The Reds trying to take game three.

1856
02:21:11,600 --> 02:21:15,600
As Geronimo takes it in the strike, it's an easy count on two.

1857
02:21:15,600 --> 02:21:19,600
Blake Carroll works in the Reds bullpen.

1858
02:21:19,600 --> 02:21:26,600
Bob Locker and Dave Hamilton work in the Oakland pen.

1859
02:21:26,600 --> 02:21:30,600
Here's their strike two pitch on the way, missing up high, ball one.

1860
02:21:30,600 --> 02:21:33,600
Chaney on back.

1861
02:21:33,600 --> 02:21:35,600
Geronimo one for three tonight.

1862
02:21:35,600 --> 02:21:39,600
One for Ken in the World Series.

1863
02:21:39,600 --> 02:21:44,600
Singer's ready, back to the plate, breaking pitch, foul by.

1864
02:21:44,600 --> 02:21:46,600
One and two.

1865
02:21:46,600 --> 02:21:50,600
Don Gullick for the Reds, Ken Holtzman for the A's tomorrow.

1866
02:21:50,600 --> 02:21:53,600
Game four, game five if necessary, a day game.

1867
02:21:53,600 --> 02:21:57,600
One o'clock coast time on Friday.

1868
02:21:57,600 --> 02:22:01,600
One two pitch, flung on foul, pipped into tennis and glove.

1869
02:22:01,600 --> 02:22:07,600
Singers get their second strikeout, Geronimo the 13th red to strike out tonight.

1870
02:22:07,600 --> 02:22:10,600
Odom had 11 in seven innings.

1871
02:22:10,600 --> 02:22:14,600
Here's Darrell Chaney, struck out twice and flat out.

1872
02:22:14,600 --> 02:22:20,600
0 for three, 0 for five in the series.

1873
02:22:20,600 --> 02:22:24,600
Hit 250 during the year.

1874
02:22:24,600 --> 02:22:26,600
Singers to the plate, a strike.

1875
02:22:26,600 --> 02:22:29,600
Chaney used to be a flick hitter, but about halfway through this season

1876
02:22:29,600 --> 02:22:33,600
he decided to just hit left handed.

1877
02:22:33,600 --> 02:22:38,600
Now having his problems, he wanted to concentrate on just one side of the plate.

1878
02:22:38,600 --> 02:22:44,600
Next pitch inside, he's got nice to get away, one and one.

1879
02:22:44,600 --> 02:22:51,600
Sillingham will be up next.

1880
02:22:51,600 --> 02:22:55,600
Singers back to the plate, Chaney takes a breaking ball down low.

1881
02:22:55,600 --> 02:23:07,600
Two and one.

1882
02:23:07,600 --> 02:23:10,600
The right hander ready and a two one touchdown away.

1883
02:23:10,600 --> 02:23:12,600
Chaney swings and golfs it on the ground.

1884
02:23:12,600 --> 02:23:15,600
Epstein is first, he stays with it, steps down the bag.

1885
02:23:15,600 --> 02:23:17,600
He almost got caught between hots.

1886
02:23:17,600 --> 02:23:21,600
Two down.

1887
02:23:21,600 --> 02:23:26,600
Back Sillingham, coming up for the red.

1888
02:23:26,600 --> 02:23:37,600
And gets a fine hand he's put on some shows through eight innings tonight.

1889
02:23:37,600 --> 02:23:48,600
As a hitter, he has rounded out and struck out twice.

1890
02:23:48,600 --> 02:23:51,600
Singers ready, comes to the plate, Sillingham fouls it back.

1891
02:23:51,600 --> 02:23:55,600
Now when the A's come up in the bottom of the ninth, the four, five and six hitters,

1892
02:23:55,600 --> 02:24:01,600
Epstein, Vandal and Hendrick.

1893
02:24:01,600 --> 02:24:05,600
Oh one pick outside, count even, one and one.

1894
02:24:05,600 --> 02:24:12,600
Two out, base is empty, top of the ninth inning, one to nothing Cincinnati.

1895
02:24:12,600 --> 02:24:23,600
Here's a one one pick, long on and missed, one and two.

1896
02:24:23,600 --> 02:24:26,600
Singers winds, one two to Sillingham, calls strike three.

1897
02:24:26,600 --> 02:24:32,600
And that retires the shot as Sillingham becomes the fourteenth strikeout pick tonight.

1898
02:24:32,600 --> 02:24:36,600
Odom with eleven, Singers with three and the Reds out one two three in the ninth.

1899
02:24:36,600 --> 02:24:40,600
So the Oakland A's come up in the bottom of the ninth inning with the score.

1900
02:24:40,600 --> 02:24:43,600
Cincinnati one, open nothing.

1901
02:24:43,600 --> 02:24:46,600
Hello this is Johnny Vance speaking for ANCO Windshield wipers.

1902
02:24:46,600 --> 02:24:51,600
Back before I was playing for the Reds I always thought the right fielder had the best position on the team.

1903
02:24:51,600 --> 02:24:55,600
All he does is stand there waiting for an occasional high fly.

1904
02:24:55,600 --> 02:24:58,600
But you know right fielder can be like the windshield wipers on your car.

1905
02:24:58,600 --> 02:25:01,600
They don't do anything either until some rain comes their way.

1906
02:25:01,600 --> 02:25:04,600
But boy do they have to hustle then.

1907
02:25:04,600 --> 02:25:10,600
A rain storm or a snow storm, clean wiping ANCO windshield wipers or snow blades can save your life.

1908
02:25:10,600 --> 02:25:13,600
But wipers like ball players eventually get old.

1909
02:25:13,600 --> 02:25:19,600
Over a period of time the sun, winds and air pollution gets to them and the rubber gradually deteriorates.

1910
02:25:19,600 --> 02:25:21,600
And they really get aches and pains.

1911
02:25:21,600 --> 02:25:27,600
If your wipers are over six months old, man they could be over the hill and going into a permanent swamp.

1912
02:25:27,600 --> 02:25:29,600
So the thing to do is drench them.

1913
02:25:29,600 --> 02:25:33,600
Drive into any service station where you see the bright yellow ANCO service cabinet

1914
02:25:33,600 --> 02:25:37,600
and tell the man you want a fresh new pair of ANCO windshield wipers.

1915
02:25:37,600 --> 02:25:39,600
That's ANCO by Anderson.

1916
02:25:39,600 --> 02:25:41,600
Definitely major league.

1917
02:25:41,600 --> 02:25:47,600
Well it's all been one run ball game.

1918
02:25:47,600 --> 02:25:50,600
Three to two and two to one at Cincinnati after the rain delay yesterday

1919
02:25:50,600 --> 02:25:53,600
when a very bizarre one to nothing game tonight.

1920
02:25:53,600 --> 02:25:57,600
Epstein, Vando and Hendrick.

1921
02:25:57,600 --> 02:26:01,600
Mike Epstein left hand batter, walked in the second,

1922
02:26:01,600 --> 02:26:04,600
walked out in the fourth, threw an intentional walk in the sixth.

1923
02:26:04,600 --> 02:26:08,600
Jack Fillingham has gone all the way in his first pitch for a breaking ball down low.

1924
02:26:08,600 --> 02:26:09,600
Ball one.

1925
02:26:09,600 --> 02:26:11,600
In the bullpen for the red.

1926
02:26:11,600 --> 02:26:15,600
Left hander Tom Hall, right hander Clay Carroll.

1927
02:26:15,600 --> 02:26:17,600
Fillingham ready, back he comes.

1928
02:26:17,600 --> 02:26:18,600
Epstein takes down low.

1929
02:26:18,600 --> 02:26:22,600
Ball two to a no.

1930
02:26:22,600 --> 02:26:24,600
Fillingham has walked three.

1931
02:26:24,600 --> 02:26:27,600
One unintentional walk has struck out seven.

1932
02:26:27,600 --> 02:26:31,600
He's allowed just three balls to be hit out of the infield.

1933
02:26:31,600 --> 02:26:34,600
All fly balls to Toven and Center.

1934
02:26:34,600 --> 02:26:37,600
Two open, outside ball three.

1935
02:26:37,600 --> 02:26:40,600
Three and oh.

1936
02:26:40,600 --> 02:26:43,600
Flakey Anderson is now going to the mound.

1937
02:26:43,600 --> 02:26:46,600
First time tonight that Anderson has made his way out there.

1938
02:26:46,600 --> 02:26:51,600
Dennis Minkie and Johnny Banks will join the top run.

1939
02:26:51,600 --> 02:26:59,600
The manager making an appearance as he chats with Fillingham will pause 30 seconds for station identification.

1940
02:26:59,600 --> 02:27:02,600
This is KGW in Portland, Oregon, 754.

1941
02:27:02,600 --> 02:27:06,600
When you think of great football authority, who do you think of?

1942
02:27:06,600 --> 02:27:09,600
Howard Cosell, Richard M. Nixon.

1943
02:27:09,600 --> 02:27:12,600
Well most people put their money on Jimmy the Greek.

1944
02:27:12,600 --> 02:27:17,600
The king of the Las Vegas oddsmakers will be back in the Oregonian again this fall.

1945
02:27:17,600 --> 02:27:23,600
Twice a week Jimmy will predict the outcome and the point spread for all the major college and professional football games.

1946
02:27:23,600 --> 02:27:32,600
Call the Oregonian at 226-2121 and have Jimmy the Greek delivered to your door.

1947
02:27:32,600 --> 02:27:37,600
Along with Sal Michaels, this is Jim Simpson and to continue the Bazaar,

1948
02:27:37,600 --> 02:27:40,600
one-to-nothing third game of the World Series.

1949
02:27:40,600 --> 02:27:44,600
Fillingham has just been superb, only in real trouble.

1950
02:27:44,600 --> 02:27:51,600
When errors helped set up that trouble back in the sixth inning, he goes 3-0 on Alina Petarevskina and that's all for Josh Fillingham.

1951
02:27:51,600 --> 02:27:56,600
And on comes Clay Carroll about whom I know he set a record of saves for the Major Leagues of 37,

1952
02:27:56,600 --> 02:28:01,600
but now you're divorced with the Reds and you know a lot more about Clay Carroll than I.

1953
02:28:01,600 --> 02:28:03,600
Clay Carroll had a tremendous season.

1954
02:28:03,600 --> 02:28:06,600
There was really no point during the season when he was ineffective.

1955
02:28:06,600 --> 02:28:12,600
He would have maybe a couple of outings in a row where he would not necessarily do the job.

1956
02:28:12,600 --> 02:28:18,600
But over the course of the season, he was about as consistent as any pitcher in the league,

1957
02:28:18,600 --> 02:28:23,600
certainly any relief pitcher in the National League, setting a Major League record with 37 saves.

1958
02:28:23,600 --> 02:28:25,600
He appeared in 65 games.

1959
02:28:25,600 --> 02:28:31,600
Dow had a record of 6-4 and a 2.25 earned run average in 96th innings.

1960
02:28:31,600 --> 02:28:34,600
He walked 32 and struck out 51.

1961
02:28:34,600 --> 02:28:40,600
So he comes in with a top three ball, no strikes on Mike Epstein.

1962
02:28:40,600 --> 02:28:43,600
Get on, no doubt we will see a pink runner.

1963
02:28:43,600 --> 02:28:45,600
Sal Bando is on deck.

1964
02:28:45,600 --> 02:28:49,600
The Reds are on top 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth inning.

1965
02:28:49,600 --> 02:28:55,600
Pedro Borbon takes Cal's place now in the bullpen, joining Tommy Hall, the left-hander.

1966
02:28:55,600 --> 02:28:58,600
Cal has finished warming up.

1967
02:28:58,600 --> 02:29:05,600
He's known as the hawking Cincinnati because of his facial features.

1968
02:29:05,600 --> 02:29:07,600
And he looks in and takes his side.

1969
02:29:07,600 --> 02:29:10,600
A 3-0 pick, a strike, 3-1.

1970
02:29:10,600 --> 02:29:16,600
Cal in the 1970 World Series, worked nine innings in relief, allowed no runs.

1971
02:29:16,600 --> 02:29:20,600
Here's a 3-1 pitch on the way, swung on, grounded to Morgan, a second.

1972
02:29:20,600 --> 02:29:23,600
He stays with it, goes the first, one away.

1973
02:29:23,600 --> 02:29:27,600
So Clay Cal comes on to do the job with a top 3-0.

1974
02:29:27,600 --> 02:29:30,600
Epstein takes the strike and then rolls off to Morgan.

1975
02:29:30,600 --> 02:29:34,600
One away, Bando the batter.

1976
02:29:34,600 --> 02:29:39,600
Cal is making his second appearance in the World Series this year.

1977
02:29:39,600 --> 02:29:45,600
Worked two innings Saturday, no runs, no hits, two walks, one strikeout.

1978
02:29:45,600 --> 02:29:47,600
Bando takes the strike, 0-1.

1979
02:29:47,600 --> 02:29:53,600
Sal Bando, bunted into a four-shot, struck out, hit into a double play, 0-3.

1980
02:29:53,600 --> 02:30:01,600
1-11 in the World Series, looks for the slider away, 1-1.

1981
02:30:01,600 --> 02:30:05,600
Hendrick is on deck.

1982
02:30:05,600 --> 02:30:09,600
The next pitch is low and outside, ball two.

1983
02:30:09,600 --> 02:30:13,600
Turn to one to count.

1984
02:30:13,600 --> 02:30:18,600
Dave Hamilton throwing in the Oakland fan.

1985
02:30:18,600 --> 02:30:26,600
Reds one, A's nothing, one out, bases empty, bottom of the ninth.

1986
02:30:26,600 --> 02:30:34,600
Allen and his lineup, two-one pitch on the way, swung on a line drive right at Morgan, two down.

1987
02:30:34,600 --> 02:30:36,600
So Bando is gone.

1988
02:30:36,600 --> 02:30:41,600
And the Reds are one out away from picking up their first victory in the series.

1989
02:30:41,600 --> 02:30:46,600
George Hendrick coming up for Oakland.

1990
02:30:46,600 --> 02:30:51,600
Hendrick, hopped out in a second, struck out in a fifth, slide out in a seventh.

1991
02:30:51,600 --> 02:30:58,600
Time is stars, some fans coming out onto the field.

1992
02:30:58,600 --> 02:31:06,600
And Youngfella slides into second, followed by, looks like his twin brother.

1993
02:31:06,600 --> 02:31:20,600
And they will spend a pleasant night at one of Oakland's not-too-fine establishments.

1994
02:31:20,600 --> 02:31:25,600
No resistance, they were not abrasive at all, they simply slid into second base.

1995
02:31:25,600 --> 02:31:28,600
And as the us's came over, they shook hands with them and they're a little away.

1996
02:31:28,600 --> 02:31:36,600
Play back in, Hendrick the batter, takes out side ball one, one and oh.

1997
02:31:36,600 --> 02:31:38,600
On deck is Dean Tennis.

1998
02:31:38,600 --> 02:31:42,600
Now ready, back he comes, the pitch is a set swing and a tie.

1999
02:31:42,600 --> 02:31:48,600
And he's touching down, ball two, two and oh.

2000
02:31:48,600 --> 02:31:52,600
Two out, bases empty, bottom of the ninth inning.

2001
02:31:52,600 --> 02:31:56,600
Carroll ready, here's the two, Oakland swung on, nubbed up the line toward first base.

2002
02:31:56,600 --> 02:31:59,600
Carroll has it, looks to Perez and the Reds beat the A's.

2003
02:31:59,600 --> 02:32:03,600
Ray Carroll gets the save, Jack Fillingham the win.

2004
02:32:03,600 --> 02:32:05,600
The A's go down one, two, three in the ninth.

2005
02:32:05,600 --> 02:32:09,600
And Oakland now leads in the World Series, two games to one.

2006
02:32:09,600 --> 02:32:13,600
As the Cincinnati Reds defeat the Oakland A's, the final score.

2007
02:32:13,600 --> 02:32:19,600
The Pinks are adding one, Oakland nothing.

2008
02:32:19,600 --> 02:32:25,600
John Blue Moon Odom is the loser tonight, giving up the only run of the ballgame in the seventh inning.

2009
02:32:25,600 --> 02:32:30,600
And Jack Fillingham with superb help from Clay Carroll in the ninth is the winning pitcher.

2010
02:32:30,600 --> 02:32:34,600
Fillingham allowed no runs of course, only three hits.

2011
02:32:34,600 --> 02:32:39,600
He stuck out seven and walked three and when he went to three and oh on the leadoff batter in the ninth inning,

2012
02:32:39,600 --> 02:32:43,600
Marky Anderson went to his bullpen and Clay Carroll who got up,

2013
02:32:43,600 --> 02:32:46,600
stood on the ground out, banned on the soft line drive,

2014
02:32:46,600 --> 02:32:49,600
there's a short stop and Hendrick ground about the end of all.

2015
02:32:49,600 --> 02:32:54,600
Back to that seventh inning, the last inning worked by Odom losing the pitcher.

2016
02:32:54,600 --> 02:32:57,600
Perez went off on the ground, singled that field.

2017
02:32:57,600 --> 02:33:01,600
Menke laid down the perfect sacrifice, Perez going to second base.

2018
02:33:01,600 --> 02:33:04,600
Then Geronimo singled a short center field.

2019
02:33:04,600 --> 02:33:10,600
In short, Hendrick picked up the ball, Perez was rounding third base and fell down.

2020
02:33:10,600 --> 02:33:13,600
And Hendrick apparently fell, but Perez would score.

2021
02:33:13,600 --> 02:33:17,600
And so he just lazily threw the ball into Dick Green.

2022
02:33:17,600 --> 02:33:21,600
Green the cutoff man at second base, knocked Odom and Perez had fallen down.

2023
02:33:21,600 --> 02:33:25,600
Nor did any of his teammates know who it was, or at least he didn't hear them.

2024
02:33:25,600 --> 02:33:29,600
So he didn't turn around and throw home and Perez scored the only run of the ballgame.

2025
02:33:29,600 --> 02:33:35,600
But Al Michaels in summing up, that's not all that happened in this one-to-nothing ballgame.

2026
02:33:35,600 --> 02:33:41,600
For example, Johnny Bench with two men on base and one out being decoyed on a 3-2 count thinking

2027
02:33:41,600 --> 02:33:46,600
perhaps it was going to be ball for intentionally and he took a call strike down the middle.

2028
02:33:46,600 --> 02:33:51,600
So many things happened and as you, I'm going to use your word, it was a bizarre one-to-nothing victory,

2029
02:33:51,600 --> 02:33:59,600
but nevertheless the Cincinnati Reds are back in the World Series, trailing now two games to one.
