00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The New York Giants face the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium for Game 1 of the 1937 World Series on October 6th.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,000
This is the NBC Radio broadcast of Game 1 featuring announcers Tom Manning, Red Barber, and Warren Brown.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the United States. This is George Hicks, the national broadcasting company.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:41,000
This is the World Series of 1937. We're speaking from our box directly behind home plate on the lip of the third tier at Yankee Stadium in New York City.

6
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
But you fans don't need to have me tell you what this is all about.

7
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,000
It's the New York Yankees World Champions of 1936, again tennis winners this year in the American League,

8
00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:00,000
versus the New York Giants, National League Champions of 1937 and for the World Championship in baseball.

9
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And this is the fifth World Series since the beginning in 1905 between the two New York teams.

10
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Well, we've been in our chairs since 11 a.m. this morning, now 1.15.

11
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:23,000
The bleachers bending in an irregular curve from middle left field around to middle right were packed solid on our arrival this morning.

12
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:33,000
And the third tier of moderate-type reserve seats were also packed at that time, except the extreme tips at left and right field, and now they're filling up.

13
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,000
The expensive boxes and first-layer tier are now filled practically except for the last moment arrivals.

14
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:48,000
There must easily be 50,000 or a little more here now before game starts and they're still pouring in.

15
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
NBC has its baseball experts manning the microphones.

16
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Tom Manning, NBC sports announcer from Cleveland, one of the best.

17
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Well, he'll describe the first half of the game.

18
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Beside him is Brett Barber, star sports announcer from station WLW in Cincinnati. Both, by the way, are redheaded.

19
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
So remember when the action gets hot, these two redheaded flashes will be throwing the words at you.

20
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:25,000
And with them is Warren Brown, the friendly and wise ball expert, sports editor of the Chicago Herald Examiner.

21
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
He'll give you the expert opinion, the inside facts that only he knows.

22
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
So much for what's to come. Right now, the Yanks are just potting in off the diamonds.

23
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:43,000
The Cat-Takers are out with their rakes and the chalk line, the manicuring, which goes on just before the game starts.

24
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:51,000
It's just about 10 minutes now that photographers are flashing bulbs at the first row box seat where all the celebrities are seated.

25
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000
It's so muggy today, incidentally, that they're using flash bulbs.

26
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:04,000
The Giants are now coming into their dugout. The weather is humid, whether this is October 6 or not.

27
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Perspiration is running off our faces, and the bleachers are in short sleeves, making that white background.

28
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:20,000
It rained last night here in New York, but now the sky is a pale blue with those low steamy clouds breaking and floating right over our heads

29
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:28,000
and the pennants up on top of the horseshoe. It's moist, it's thick, and it's hot out here, but I'm sure it won't rain.

30
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Mayor LaClarga is here, Vicki Cochran, the old Mike of Detroit, looking fit again, and the babe, Geno.

31
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,000
He was wiping his face a moment ago in a blue shirt suit, sits in a box right down below us beside the Yankee dugout.

32
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
With him is Mrs. Rood and his daughter, Jacob Rupert.

33
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Geno, handsome, smiling with Mayor LaClarga. Mr. Rupert stood and took hands with the babe while the photographers took their pictures.

34
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Cheers and excitement, the comments, running like fire through the stands, have been egging us on since noon when the audience follows

35
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Dimacho, Gary, Vicki, Selkirk, Moore, and Ott, all the sluggers as they drop their long drives into either left or right field stands.

36
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:22,000
The Giants today are the visitors. They're in gray with bright azure blue caps, blue church sleeves and socks.

37
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
The Yanks have fights with dark blue caps and socks.

38
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:34,000
The crowd got a terrific howl a few moments ago when Gomez put a long punch into the right field stand.

39
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,000
At batting practice about 1230 when the Giants came in, Hubbell got a fine hand when he came to bat.

40
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:48,000
The best he could do was to ground to the infield. The crowd also cheered young Jack McCarthy, first baseman of the Giants,

41
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
when he put several long drives into right field stands.

42
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:59,000
And they said, well, look at who we got here, as much as they, well, this boy is right up there with Gary and Dimacho.

43
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:08,000
A quarter of a mile away on the top of the apartment roof, which are jagged in modernistic style,

44
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:18,000
are the apartment roof galleryites who pay no ticket and who get a very much of a bird's eye view of the entire scene.

45
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Hub is now down behind home plate on the Giants side, warming up, taking his time, wipes his head with his shirt sleeve,

46
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
puts his old left arm across, and there's the ball. Gomez is doing the same thing on the Yankee side.

47
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Photographers are squatted around them, and the caretakers are now laying out their chalk marks around home plate and the batter's boxes.

48
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Attention, please.

49
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
The band is playing in center field.

50
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,000
People, standing in the aisles, please make your seats.

51
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
We pause for a moment for the last speaker announcement, which sets for the people in the aisles to please take their seats.

52
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,000
It's just minutes now before the beginning of history in baseball for 1937.

53
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:12,000
The green stands are packed, red, white, and blue bunting on all sides, excitement growing, and now that's the general scene.

54
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Let's get down to what this really means.

55
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Beside me is Warren Brown that I spoke to you about. Warren, come on and give us the facts about 1937.

56
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:30,000
All right, George, this is really the most exciting series, or I anticipate that it will be the most exciting series,

57
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:37,000
of the sort of a traditional rivalry that has grown up between the New York Giants and the New York Yankees.

58
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
As you have been told, or perhaps know already, this is the fifth meeting between these two clubs.

59
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:50,000
They met for the first time in 1921, and baseball history of sorts has been made since then.

60
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
In 1921, for example, there was no Yankee Stadium.

61
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Both of the New York clubs played in the Polar Bounds, which is across the Harlem River.

62
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000
In the 1921 series, the New York Giants were tops in baseball.

63
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
John McGraw was leading them, and they were a fiery baseball club.

64
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:16,000
In my judgment, the club that Bill Terry is sending out on the field this afternoon is the best New York club since the heyday of McGraw.

65
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,000
In that 1921 series, the games were played on the basis of five out of nine,

66
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:31,000
rather than the four out of seven, which had existed in earlier years and which has been brought back into play now.

67
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000
In that 1921 series, the Giants won five and the Yankees won three.

68
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
The following year, 1922, the Giants won again, and they won four games.

69
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
The Yankees didn't win any.

70
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000
That was the return to the four out of seven, as far as the Giants and Yankees were concerned.

71
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:56,000
The Yankees started to get going in 1923, which was the third successive year that Yankees and Giants played in the World Series.

72
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:04,000
And what strikes me now is I've looked at these two pennant races in the National and American League, and maybe we're back to those old days again.

73
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
The Giants and Yankees won last year, and they won again this year,

74
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,000
having proven conclusively in their respective leagues that they were firing away the best ball clubs in those leagues.

75
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:23,000
So it is quite possible that we may have another stretch of three years, or possibly more, of these all-New York series, the Subway Series, as they call them.

76
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:31,000
In 1923, when the Yankees won the World Championship from the Giants, they won four, and the Giants won two.

77
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:38,000
After that, the Yankees fell apart a little bit, and it took them a little while to rebuild until they came back stronger than ever.

78
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,000
The Giants won another pennant in 1924, but they didn't have the Yankees as their opponents in the World Series that year.

79
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Thus it was, we came into 1936 before the two clubs met again.

80
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:58,000
And of course, we will all remember that the Yankees won a really sensational series here last year, four games out of six.

81
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Summing up then, we find that down through these four series that have been played to date, the Giants have won 13 games, and the Yankees have won 11,

82
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
which seems to me to bring the two teams very close.

83
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:19,000
In a sense then, this series, which begins today being the fifth, is a rubber series, unless of course we figure that they're going to keep right on going again next year.

84
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:25,000
These meetings between the Giants and the Yankees have been productive of some sensational baseball, some very colorful things,

85
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,000
some of the strangest things that have ever happened in World Series play have happened when the Giants were meeting the Yankees.

86
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
It was in one of these series that we have the famous episode in which a plate umpire declared that it was dark,

87
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,000
when very few people in the park thought it was dark, with the result that the Commissioner Landis,

88
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:51,000
to whom the decision of the umpire came as much of a stunning surprise as to anybody else, decided to give the money that was spent for those tickets to charity.

89
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000
That was one of the more famous incidents of this giant Yankee series.

90
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000
There were a lot of strange plays and a lot of sensational plays, but that's almost enough for the past.

91
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Let us get to the present, looking at the lineups today, which the loud speaking system is about to give you. Perhaps I should pause and let you hear that.

92
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:46,000
The Giants, number 8, catching for the Yankees, Gomez, number 8, kicking.

93
00:10:46,000 --> 00:11:09,000
The umpires for the game are Ormsby, De'Nancy, Lane, Barr, at first base, Seasill, at second base, Stewart, at second base. Thank you.

94
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:21,000
You've heard now the pitchers and the catchers and the umpires, Gomez versus Hubbell, which we've been expecting this meeting between the two representative left-handers of their respective leagues.

95
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:29,000
As I look through the batting orders and the lineups of the two teams, I find one thing that must be of interest to far-off California.

96
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:36,000
I notice that the New York Yankees in their starting lineup have no less than five out of their nine ball players coming from California.

97
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Ladies and gentlemen, the National Anthem.

98
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000
The National Anthem.

99
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Back again in our duties, and I was speaking before the anthem about the Native Sons of California.

100
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:04,000
On the Yankee side are Gomez, the pitcher, Frank Crocetti, the shortstop, Tony Lazzari, the second baseman, perhaps the greatest of them all, Joe DiMaggio, the center fielder, and Merrill Hoke, the left fielder.

101
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Against them on the giant side is only Dick Bartel, representing California.

102
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,000
And this is not a plug for my Native State or anything like that, but it is just an interesting side-light.

103
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:29,000
As we look at the game now, which is almost to begin, it seems to me that the Giants come into this series as a scout defensive club, a good-spirited club with fine pitching and a modicum of power.

104
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:36,000
The Yankees, of course, are the powerhouse with also good pitching. If anything, that pitching is on a par with the Giants.

105
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:49,000
In a sense, it seems to me that we are going to look at, starting this afternoon, a world series in which we will have the famous test that we've long awaited between the irresistible force and the immovable object.

106
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:56,000
And now it seems to me that it's almost time for us to hear from my friend, Tom Manning, of Cleveland. All right, Tom.

107
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. That round of applause has been for the New York Yankees.

108
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,000
The winners of the pennant in the American League have opposed this afternoon this world series.

109
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000
It will be the New York Giants in the National League running over the lineup again for your reference.

110
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Not on the field at the moment, the Yankees. Frank Gozelli in short will lead off.

111
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Fred Wolf in third base will bat second.

112
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,000
And that sensational Joe DiMaggio in center field will bat third.

113
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
At first base will be the Iron Horns, Lou Gehrig.

114
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000
The catcher will be Bill Dickey in left field for the Yankees.

115
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Merle Holt in right field, George Selkirk.

116
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Tony Lozari, Tony Lozari, the veteran second baseman, will be at the Keystone Sack for the American League.

117
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,000
At the Keystone Sack for the American League.

118
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:55,000
And the pitcher, as Warren Brown told you, will be Luthor Gomez.

119
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:00,000
For the Giants, Bill Terry, going to out-just the boys today.

120
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
There are a couple of changes. Joe Moore in left field.

121
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Nick Barthel in short.

122
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Melville Lott in third base.

123
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Hank Leiber in right field.

124
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Ripple.

125
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Hank Leiber will be in center field and Ripple will be in right field.

126
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Leiber in center, Ripple in right.

127
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000
McCarthy in first base.

128
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Mancuso catch.

129
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Whitehead.

130
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Second base, Hubbell pitch.

131
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Umpire red ornisface.

132
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Behind the bat, American League Umpire.

133
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Adjusts to the class. Bill Dickey's watched down.

134
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
And the first hitter is Joe Moore.

135
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Joe Moore in the left hand banner.

136
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
The left field of the Giants.

137
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Leslie Gomez now is taking the dirt around the rubber.

138
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000
And the pomp and ceremony is off.

139
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,000
The boys are down on earnest now, fighting for this championship.

140
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
The signal, the wind up, and the series is on.

141
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Strike ball.

142
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
A back ball came right down the old alley.

143
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Joe Moore took a look at it, stepped away from the plate.

144
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:06,000
And the first pitch of the 1937 World Series is a called strike on Joey Moore.

145
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Strike between the two.

146
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
It's a pounding ball down first.

147
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Gary Hazzard, he runs to the back to put out on assistant.

148
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Joe Moore is out.

149
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Gary on assistant.

150
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
One man down in the first inning of this first game of the World Series.

151
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
And little Dick Bartel.

152
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Right hand hitter.

153
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Short staff of the Giants is next.

154
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
He's a little fellow, but he can hit that ball with a far corner.

155
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
I think he's 29 years old.

156
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
This year he's batted 306.

157
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Leslie Gomez, the pitch.

158
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,000
The foul back against the three.

159
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Matt Orsby, the American League up higher, tosses out a new ball to Bill Dickey.

160
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
You know, Bill Dickey is one of the tallest catchers ever to count into the Major Leagues.

161
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Matt, what a catcher.

162
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
First inning, one man out, nobody on.

163
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Leslie Gomez.

164
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Ball, it's too high.

165
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
That was a fast ball, very high.

166
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,000
And the count on Dick Bartel, ball one and strike one.

167
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:29,000
First inning, one man out, nobody on.

168
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Here's the pitch.

169
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Inside, ball two.

170
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Leslie Gomez trying to keep that ball inside for Dick Bartel.

171
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,000
He has the outfield, moves over just a little bit for right field.

172
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Left center and right fielder playing over them.

173
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,000
As the base hitter, Justin Feinberg, out of the inforter, turns off the ball.

174
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
O'Harrison, the go-to second drives it back to first base.

175
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
And it's a base hit for Dick Bartel.

176
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,000
That was a ripping smash just inside the third base cushion.

177
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Ball going down the left field corner.

178
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
It turned off, retrieved by Holt.

179
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Holt returning the ball to Frank Rosetti and driving Dick Bartel back to first base.

180
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Terrible not.

181
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
A giant third baseman.

182
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Seems rather strange to say the giant third baseman.

183
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
For many years he was a right fielder.

184
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Here's the pitch.

185
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Strike call.

186
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:28,000
A beautiful hook ball that caught the inside corner of the plate with Terrible not stepping back.

187
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
First inning, one man out.

188
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Dick Bartel on first.

189
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Terrible not.

190
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Left hand batter is in the box.

191
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Ball two.

192
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000
A slow sweeping curve ball that missed the outside corner.

193
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And the count on Mel is one and one.

194
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
George Hicks told you, it's kind of a dark day.

195
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Much to the advantage of Gomez.

196
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
It's a high foul ball going in the box.

197
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
This over and back of third base.

198
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
And it's strike two.

199
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
And ball one.

200
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Very, very few vacant seats.

201
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Upstairs, the last two tiers.

202
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:10,000
And in the last tier and a half and in the main floor, just the last tier.

203
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
The same thing as probably in the white field floor.

204
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,000
The pitch.

205
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
A high fly ball infield.

206
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Luke Gehrig.

207
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Luke Gehrig under it.

208
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,000
He has it.

209
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Two outs.

210
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Dick Bartel on first.

211
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
And Hank Lieber coming up.

212
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Hank Lieber will be in center field this afternoon.

213
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Jimmy Ripple in right field and Joe Moore in left field.

214
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000
He's gone for a while.

215
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
The Chiosy might play center field for the Giants.

216
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,000
But that has been changed.

217
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
And Lieber will be in center.

218
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Here it is.

219
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Ball one.

220
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Last ball was over but just a little bit too high.

221
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Hank Lieber.

222
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
That's a white handed.

223
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
The first inning, two outs.

224
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Dick Bartel on first.

225
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
It's a foul back.

226
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
The hit and run was on that time.

227
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Dick Bartel was off with lefty Gomez motion.

228
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Ran all the way down to second base.

229
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
And now he trots back.

230
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000
The umpires warm as we behind the bat.

231
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Farr is at first.

232
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Steve Fast was at second.

233
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
And Bill Stewart on par with the Giants.

234
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
And Bill Stewart umpiring at third.

235
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Of course the umpires would shift around each day.

236
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Rotate.

237
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000
All right.

238
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Hank Lieber's strike one.

239
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Ball one.

240
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Strike two.

241
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Makes a mighty swing.

242
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000
He wasn't pulling on that one.

243
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Swung hard and missed it.

244
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
And the count is strike two.

245
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
And ball one.

246
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,000
The Giants being the visiting club today batting first.

247
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Two men out.

248
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Bartel on first.

249
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Here it is.

250
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Inside.

251
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Lefty Gomez thought he had a corner on that one.

252
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,000
But it was inside.

253
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
And the count is strike two.

254
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:01,000
And ball two.

255
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Oh, DiMaggio and Selkirk are playing bloody deep.

256
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Two and two coming.

257
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Strike three.

258
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Strike three.

259
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Swing hard and missed it.

260
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
No run.

261
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,000
One hit.

262
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,000
And no errors.

263
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Playable game one.

264
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Commit.

265
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Here it is, Tom, and the noticeable thing in that first half inning was the respect that

266
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000
the Giants evidently have for the throwing arms of these Yankee outfielders.

267
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,000
That ball that Bartel hit over third base was normally one on which he would try for

268
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,000
second base.

269
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,000
But he made his round of first and half-heartedly and then turned back to first.

270
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
You evidently have heard that the arms of Hogan and DiMaggio and that Yankee outfield

271
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
can throw that ball around.

272
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:45,000
The other noticeable thing, which I think we might as well refer now, is that the rains

273
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,000
of last night have slowed down this field to a considerable extent.

274
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000
I notice that as the boys run around out there, they're digging up large sort of divots in

275
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,000
the turf.

276
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,000
And I'm afraid that there will not be any too much speed shown until the place dries

277
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,000
out a little.

278
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000
And as the sun is now coming out strong, it probably will be dry and, as they say, have

279
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,000
to track fast before the afternoon is over.

280
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Gomez, in striking out Leiber to end the inning, departed from his orthodox passion of firing

281
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
that ball through there.

282
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,000
The last strike was slowed up and a true Leiber completely off his stride.

283
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
And it was an interesting pitch.

284
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
All right, Tom, here's the first hitter.

285
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,000
It might keep us in mind.

286
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Brennan and Gumbert throwing out the right field bullpen to warm up.

287
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
It'll be Carl Hubbell, you know, left hand with the box.

288
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Over Giants, Carlos one, 22, and lost big.

289
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000
33 years old, long, lanky left-hander.

290
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
The first hitter will be Frank Rosetti.

291
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Play, the wind up.

292
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Ball one.

293
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
A hook ball was low inside.

294
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Rosetti wiggling around up there, stepped away, took it, and the count is one and nothing.

295
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Ben Robe, the Yankee third baseman, will be next.

296
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Hubbell bending over now.

297
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
He's taking just a little bit of time.

298
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
He always starts off rather slow and then long about the fourth inning.

299
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Hubs it up a little.

300
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Ball one.

301
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Inside.

302
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000
And the count is looped and nothing.

303
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
On that Giants infield, it's well on a third base.

304
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Dick Bartell in short.

305
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Burgess Whitehead in second.

306
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:26,000
And Johnny McCarthy at first.

307
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Hubbell is in the box.

308
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
And Mancuso throwing the catch.

309
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Rosetti up.

310
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000
The count's ball two.

311
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Strike, ball, a burning fastball right down the old alley.

312
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,000
About felt high.

313
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Frankie Rosetti jumping away from the plate.

314
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
It ought to be called it.

315
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,000
And the count is ball two and strike one.

316
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,000
A lot of pepper on that Giants infield for the moment.

317
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Outside, and it's ball three.

318
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Ball three and strike one.

319
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
The count's ball two and strike one.

320
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Hubbell tried to come in there with a sweeping curveball over the outside, making Rosetti

321
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,000
reach for it.

322
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
But he refused.

323
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,000
Ball was outside and it's ball three and strike one.

324
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
No score as yet.

325
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Frank Rosetti, first man up for the Yankees in the last half of the first inning.

326
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Can he get that out for you?

327
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
That's Joe Moore on left.

328
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Hank Lieber in center.

329
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Jimmy Ripple in right.

330
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Ball three and strike one.

331
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Rosetti, right hander up.

332
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Outside, ball four and Rosetti walks.

333
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Coming up now we have Red Roe.

334
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Peppery, third baseman.

335
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Paxson, left hander.

336
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Yankee uniforms are white.

337
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
The home uniform white.

338
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
The blue stripe.

339
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Martin Luther Martin.

340
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:55,000
They're wearing navy blue jerseys, blue caps, blue stock.

341
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:02,000
The NY of course on the top of their cap.

342
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Carl Hubbell trying to pick it with the left hander.

343
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Makes a stretch, a peek at first.

344
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Here it is.

345
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000
It's in there.

346
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
A called strike.

347
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Nice sharp breaking curveball that Red Roe started to dart away from.

348
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000
It's broken over the heart of the plate for a called strike.

349
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Joe DiMaggio will be next.

350
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,000
He has a big lead.

351
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Has a play at first.

352
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Elbow.

353
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Just to let them know that you're in there.

354
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Hubbell crossing that call over with not any great amount of effort.

355
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Strike one, the count.

356
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
It's outside.

357
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Sharp breaking curveball is plenty low and outside.

358
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Gus Mancuso jumping over fourth.

359
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Not even with the count on roll.

360
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,000
There's the stretch.

361
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Peek over to first.

362
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
There's a play at first.

363
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Not even close because he's getting back fast.

364
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Hubbell wasn't burning that ball over to Johnny McCarthy.

365
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Just letting them know that he's in there.

366
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Call one and strike one coming.

367
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:18,000
It's outside and low.

368
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Hubbell's simply headed it around that.

369
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Mancuso turned around and talked to Ornstein.

370
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Burgess White at the second base was walked in from his spot.

371
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Yelling something at Hubbell.

372
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Hubbell picks up the rocket bag now.

373
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Now he's picking the dirt around on the top of the rubber there.

374
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Come on, it's playing pretty deep third base.

375
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Hitler on his on, fly ball, and back at third base.

376
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
And it's two and two.

377
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,000
That's at least a glimpse of what Joe McCarthy, the manager of the Yankees,

378
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
might be doing in this series.

379
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Instead of getting that sacrifice and playing for the one run,

380
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:07,000
that count ball two and strike one with the hitler on.

381
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000
They're all coaching it first.

382
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Arnie Fletcher is third.

383
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000
The cow is ball two.

384
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Smeiks is.

385
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Rosetti on first.

386
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
There's not a base on balls and nobody else.

387
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Hubbell pitching.

388
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Two and two over to first base.

389
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Tossed over there with sort of nonchalantly.

390
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,000
Third time he's tossed over there with no particular speed on that cross from the block.

391
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Here it is.

392
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Smeiks outside, foul ball.

393
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Fans jump to their feet down.

394
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
That was a very hard smack that Rolfe turned all the way around on.

395
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Pulled it a little bit too much.

396
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:52,000
It landed about two yards outside the first base cushion.

397
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:58,000
One of the boys with a barrel nut of watching in this short blue ribbon classic will be Johnny McCarthy.

398
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:04,000
He will replace manager Bill Terry in first base.

399
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
And Rolfe is in there with a cow ball two and strike two.

400
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,000
And Rosetti on first, nobody else.

401
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Here it comes.

402
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Strike three.

403
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Smeiks three.

404
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
That cow two and two.

405
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Rolfe seems to lead the forward part of the battered box.

406
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Raps expecting a fast ball.

407
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Hubbell came in there with a shot breaking football.

408
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Right over the inside corner.

409
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Just caught it inside corner and Rolfe.

410
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Strong, lifted by, separated.

411
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Now we have a little different picture.

412
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000
One man out.

413
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Frankie Coselli on first.

414
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
And great Joe DiMaggio.

415
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Joe, you know, 22 years old.

416
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
He hit 3.46 this year.

417
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Let both leagues with home runs.

418
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Marcio makes a fighting cut from way back on that one.

419
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
A hold of that ball and it will certainly knock it out of the

420
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,000
card he won.

421
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Last half of the first inning of this first game of the

422
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
World Series.

423
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,000
One man out.

424
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Frankie Coselli on first with taking an exceptionally long

425
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,000
lead.

426
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000
There's a puck over to first loco.

427
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Little faster that time.

428
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Frankie Coselli is a pretty wiry little boy when he gets on

429
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
the bases.

430
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Strike one on DiMaggio.

431
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Strike two.

432
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Oh, boy did the Hubbell have a lot of stuff on that baby.

433
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,000
He's outside.

434
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,000
He didn't look for a moment.

435
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
So he had a chance of cutting in.

436
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000
But it twisted over the heart of the plate.

437
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Apparently pulling Joey on that one.

438
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Joe was up there with a toe hold.

439
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Now it's strike two.

440
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Outside a pitch out of puck to first loco.

441
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
Coselli was heads up that time.

442
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:08,000
He came in the left bag sliding and sliding hard.

443
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
A little inside face ball by Mancuso calling to that pitch

444
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,000
out.

445
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
That's a signal to the pitcher that the runner on the face

446
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
might be caught.

447
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
No, that's catcher's signals for the pitcher to throw the ball

448
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000
wide at the plate, getting the batter out of the way so he

449
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
can make the play at first.

450
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
That's the term of a pitch out of it.

451
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000
That's the one round.

452
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Something wrong with that ball out there.

453
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Frankie Coselli asked me to take a look at it.

454
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
He discussed with Mr. Hubbell.

455
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Instead of throwing it in, he rolled it in on the ground.

456
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
He also took a look at it and crossed it out.

457
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Now we've got to do it.

458
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Last half of the first inning, one man out.

459
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Frank Coselli is on first.

460
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Joe DiMaggio is up, right to a ball one.

461
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Marroping to Gary Fex at the pitch.

462
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
The foul is ball to Fex.

463
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Fex throw it out to the left field.

464
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
The ball on 33 by Joey Moore.

465
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Joey Fex to right-handed second.

466
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Holy Coselli at second base.

467
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
A face hit.

468
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
More goal to DiMaggio.

469
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000
That was a ground ball.

470
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
The foul will not go far.

471
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,000
That's just business.

472
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,000
It rolled on out to left field where it was retrieved by Joey Moore.

473
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Frank Coselli was fast and had no chance at all of going to third base.

474
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Joey Moore after he rounded the bag,

475
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
whips the ball to whitehead at second.

476
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,000
But Coselli gets back.

477
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Now we have Luke Gehrig coming up.

478
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Gehrig in old fashion, left-handed.

479
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Luke has been heading 353 this season.

480
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
And he's 33 years old.

481
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Hasn't missed a ball game since the Lord knows when.

482
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Double pitching.

483
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
There it is.

484
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Made-away curve ball.

485
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Missed the outside corner.

486
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
And it's ball one.

487
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Frank Coselli is on second.

488
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Joe DiMaggio on first.

489
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Just a couple of Italian boys that know something about this game called baseball.

490
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Ball one.

491
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Gary Kidding.

492
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Here it is.

493
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,000
A long drive, high and far out, but not going too far away.

494
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Hank Lieber is under it.

495
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
And he has it.

496
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Returns the ball to Burgess Whitehead.

497
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Coselli holding second.

498
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
DiMaggio holding first.

499
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Gary got ahold of that ball.

500
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000
But John Barnes of this Yankee Stadium, you know,

501
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,000
are pretty long.

502
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
And the boys took that ball out there.

503
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Not quite out to the center track.

504
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Let me give you the figures on this field.

505
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000
The left field is 301 feet to the left field corner.

506
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Then the right left field is 402 feet.

507
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Directly in center field is 461.

508
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,000
Right center is 407.

509
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,000
And on the line in left field is 296 feet.

510
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Of course, it branches out within 30 or 40 feet of that.

511
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,000
It's 344 feet back.

512
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Right now we have two men out.

513
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
And Bill Zicke at bat.

514
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,000
McCatter, left hand batter.

515
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Outside, ball one.

516
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Carl Hubbell leaning almost back to second base

517
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,000
before he cut loose to that ball.

518
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Apparently he's trying to keep that ball over the lower

519
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:24,000
outside corner for Bill Zicke.

520
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Nick Bartell moves over toward the second base cushion.

521
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Strike, ball.

522
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Ball one, strike one.

523
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Frank Gozetti on second.

524
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Joe DiMaggio on first, two men up.

525
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Walt struck out.

526
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Gary Flagelieber in center field.

527
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Carl Hubbell, left hander, is in the box for the Giants.

528
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Ball one, strike one.

529
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Makes a look at second base.

530
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Here it is.

531
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Strike two, tip down.

532
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Perhaps here, that's Matthews making the catch of the ball.

533
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:03,000
And a counter strike two, and ball one.

534
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
There's a lot of excitement here at Jackie Stadium.

535
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
The folks have been waiting, you know,

536
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,000
just 12 months for this classic.

537
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Down on Bill Zicke, now a strike two and ball one.

538
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Outside of the counters, two and two.

539
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Merle Holt, who is playing out left field

540
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,000
against the south ball shoots of Carl Hubbell, is next.

541
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:32,000
At the left fielder is Jackie Powell.

542
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Ball two and strike two.

543
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Hubbell takes the stretch.

544
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
There it is.

545
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Tip foul.

546
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Dickie swung over that ball, landed right there, home plate.

547
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000
So far, what's not a new ball, the Giants

548
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,000
smacking around that infield with the raffinity of Mike Malat.

549
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Dick Bartel, the whitehead to McCarthy,

550
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,000
and then back to the pitcher, Hubbell.

551
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Giant outfield at Joe Warren left, Hank Lieber in center,

552
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,000
and Jimmy Ripple in right.

553
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
DiMaggio on first, Rosetti on second, two outs,

554
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Dickie batting, ball two, strike two.

555
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Coming.

556
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Ball three.

557
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,000
A burning fastball.

558
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,000
No Bill Dickie away from the plate.

559
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Haven't had so much on him that it brought a great

560
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,000
throng from the crowd.

561
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,000
50-10, it's one, and somewhat over 60.

562
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Here are the figures on the attendance,

563
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000
just to see if they're made as better than the watch.

564
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Four-counter, three and two, the runners will be off

565
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
of the pitch.

566
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
There they go, and here it is.

567
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
The fly ball going out of the deep center field,

568
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Hank Lieber running back under it, and he has it.

569
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,000
That's all for the Yankees on the first inning.

570
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000
No runs, one hit, one base downfall, and no errors.

571
00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Now radio fans, please pause briefly for station identification.

572
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Back at the NBC booth in the Yankee Stadium,

573
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
and the thought that strikes me after watching the Yankees'

574
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,000
first attempt at Carl Hubbell's pitching in this game is that

575
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Hubbell's been a little bit wild to the extent that he's been

576
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
three and two on most of these hitters.

577
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
He's been working that ball towards the corners there,

578
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,000
pitching very carefully for the simple reason that it is not

579
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,000
a good judgment to get that ball any too good for these

580
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Yankee hitters.

581
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
While he was hit for one base hit,

582
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,000
the one that Joe DiMaggio's flashed past Melada third base,

583
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,000
that was a sort of a soggy hit, and it wasn't hit with the

584
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
authority that we are accustomed to watch when the Yankees

585
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
really get a hold of the ball.

586
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,000
So far in the ball game, it has been mostly one of defense with

587
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,000
the Yankees furnishing the principal set,

588
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000
of which, as you know now, nothing came.

589
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,000
All right, Tom, it looks like the hitter's up here,

590
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
so let's have them.

591
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Well, it'll be Jimmy Ripple.

592
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
A giant right fielder.

593
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
They completed the first inning without any score.

594
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,000
One hit apiece.

595
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Carl Hubbell has issued one base on balls.

596
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:24,000
So far, lefty Gomez has issued no bases on balls.

597
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Jimmy Ripple leading off.

598
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Jimmy, left hand hitter, the right fielder of the Giants.

599
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Here we go.

600
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
All one.

601
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
That was a fast ball that Gomez had in there,

602
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:40,000
but it was just a little bit too low.

603
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Johnny McCarty will be next.

604
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,000
All ball up the back of third base.

605
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,000
All one strike one.

606
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Here's Jimmy, he broke his bat.

607
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Hitting that ball, that's what he did,

608
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000
and he's walking slowly over toward the Giants dugout to get

609
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,000
a new one.

610
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,000
One thing that the ball player does hate to do is to play

611
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
their bat.

612
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Tell me, Warren, how did that ever start?

613
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,000
He broke his bat and sort of broke the ball.

614
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Well, that's just one of those superstitions that come along

615
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,000
in baseball, like somebody who started a hit by wearing their

616
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,000
pants long, you know, they used to pull them all up in the

617
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,000
old days.

618
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,000
One fellow started in like Cal Simmons or somebody like that

619
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,000
with his pants down loose, and now pretty nearly everybody

620
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
does.

621
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Ready to go again.

622
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
All one on strike one, Ripple hitting.

623
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
That's a long crash going out to left field.

624
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Merle Hove waiting for it.

625
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,000
He has it.

626
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Jimmy Ripple with the count ball one on strike one.

627
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Fly to Merle Hove in medium left field.

628
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Johnny McCarthy.

629
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
First year as a regular with the Giants.

630
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
They like him here in New York.

631
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,000
He's getting a nice hand.

632
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
He steps into the batter's box.

633
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:58,000
He smacks and goes left-handed.

634
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Lefty Gomez outside, all one.

635
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Awful smuggy and awful dark here at the moment.

636
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Little wind blowing in from the northwest.

637
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
And he makes the catch.

638
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000
He looked at the umpire, the umpire Steve Bader wave,

639
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000
and it was a non-assisted put out.

640
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Looked his own Tony just barely got his club underneath that

641
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,000
ball, a terrific line smashed right at Tony's feet.

642
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,000
He held the ball up and Steve Bader waved out.

643
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,000
That's Tony Mazzelli made the catch.

644
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Two out, nobody on.

645
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:42,000
First half of the second inning.

646
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,000
That's Mancuso off.

647
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Strike call.

648
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000
That's 31 years old.

649
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,000
This season he batted 279.

650
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,000
And Yankee outfield.

651
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Hogan left, DiMaggio center, Selkirk right.

652
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
The pitch is a ball.

653
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Ball one inside, ball one and strike one.

654
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Wind up.

655
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,000
That's a long smash into right center field.

656
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Selkirk going over fast and he has it.

657
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Very nice running catch by right fielder Georgie Selkirk.

658
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Mancuso hitting that ball on a line into right center field.

659
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Selkirk was off to the back of the bat and made the catch.

660
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:29,000
The noticeable thing there was the fact that all three of these

661
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Yankee hitters were giant hitters and two of them left hand

662
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,000
hitters took very solid wallops at the ball.

663
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,000
That's the hardest hit of the game to date in the force of

664
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,000
effectiveness was that line drive that McCarty hit out at

665
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Lazare out there.

666
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000
It's interesting to me to find those fellas walking in there

667
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,000
against Gomez since in the first inning outside of Barthel's

668
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000
drive over third base they looked a little bit weak.

669
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Right.

670
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Evidently Gomez is not treating them with the same respect that

671
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Hubbell is treating the Yankee hitters.

672
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,000
He's simply firing that ball in and thrusting at those nine men

673
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,000
in back of them or eight men I should say in back of them and

674
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
certainly so far they've done a swell job.

675
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Two of those catches out there in the outfield were better than

676
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:17,000
ordinary catches particularly Selkirk's on the last one.

677
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
That's your first Yankee hitter.

678
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
That'll be Merle Hogan.

679
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Last half of the second inning no score yet.

680
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Merle Hogan is 29 years old.

681
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000
He comes from Sacramento, California.

682
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,000
This season batting 301.

683
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Merle has always been a fine baseball player but unfortunately

684
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,000
he's been out of the regular lineup on many occasions because

685
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:48,000
he's always had much superior outfield.

686
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
It's Carl Hubbell, you know, a south-forked man,

687
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Q so catching.

688
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,000
Last half of the second inning no score and Hogan the hitter.

689
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Strike call.

690
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Merle Hogan stuck his bat out through third base from

691
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Melodin but of course had no intention of batting that ball

692
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,000
just by way of drawing Melodin from third base.

693
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Oh, low and outside on the count on Hogan.

694
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Ball one and strike one.

695
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Merle Hogan the batter, Georgie Selkirk.

696
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,000
George has been on the injured and sick list quite a bit during

697
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,000
the last half of the season but he's back in and out strong as

698
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
ever.

699
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Ball one, strike one.

700
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Bounding ball down, third goes foul.

701
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Artie Butcher tried to stop it, got past him but Val Harkin

702
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,000
trees the ball and then the Giants flip it around the

703
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,000
infield.

704
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Dick Bartel to Whitehead to McCarthy and finally back to

705
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Hubbell.

706
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Carl Hogan hit that ball, started to run with three

707
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000
quarters of the way down to first base, walking back rather

708
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,000
slow.

709
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Strike two and ball one.

710
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Carl Hubbell winding up.

711
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Too high.

712
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Over the plate, a little bit high on the count as ball two

713
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,000
and strike two.

714
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,000
NBC Mike is right over home plate with pretty high but

715
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,000
right in line with the pitcher and catcher.

716
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Pretty fair seat in other words.

717
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Ball two, strike two.

718
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Bounding ball down short, Burgess comes up with it to

719
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000
throw, he's out.

720
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Out by plenty.

721
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Put out six to three for those who keep the score.

722
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
That's Warren Brown just gives me a note that that was the

723
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,000
first assist to the ball game.

724
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,000
Like you are Warren.

725
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Strike out two fly balls, two flies to center field by

726
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,000
carrying a ticket and a strike out by Ross.

727
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Now we have George Iselkirk, the right fielder left hand

728
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,000
batter coming up.

729
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,000
George hit three twenty eight this year.

730
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,000
George is twenty nine years old.

731
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Gets the first ball a high hopper, counts second phase

732
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:08,000
white head to McCarthy and Iselkirk is out.

733
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,000
Last half of the second inning with no scores yet.

734
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Two men have been retired and push him up Tony Nazarian

735
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:21,000
listens to the call he gets.

736
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Tony Nazarian, always been a gentleman.

737
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
One great ball player.

738
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,000
They like him a lot here in New York and they should.

739
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Tony bats him right hand.

740
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,000
The other one outside.

741
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Tony is thirty three years old.

742
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,000
This year Tony has hit the head as well as usual.

743
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:53,000
Batting around two fifty.

744
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Ball one is the count, two out, nobody off.

745
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,000
Strike call.

746
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Hubbell had a nice fast ball over the inside corner with

747
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Lazeri pulling away.

748
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,000
He gets a handful of dirt there, drying his hands off.

749
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,000
And the count will be ball one and strike one.

750
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Last half of the second inning, no scores yet, two out,

751
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,000
nobody off.

752
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,000
The hot-spag back to Hubbell, he knocked it down,

753
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,000
picks it up, crosses for McCarthy and Lazeri is out.

754
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,000
The ball was hit right back on the nose and the

755
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
apologies for that stop of Kyle Hubbell.

756
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
No runs, no hits, no lowers, no scores.

757
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
The conclusion of the two inning, score.

758
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Well I'm sorry Tom that we brought up that matter of the

759
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,000
no assists in that inning since there was nothing else

760
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,000
from there on.

761
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,000
But it was an oddity that we got into as far as the last

762
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,000
half of the second inning without having one of the

763
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,000
infielders handle the ball on the ground after

764
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
throwing the first base.

765
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,000
It seems to me now that the game has definitely settled

766
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,000
into a warfare between the pitchers, which of course

767
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,000
lives up to all the specifications of the experts

768
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
going into the series.

769
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,000
They recognize that Gomez was the superior pitcher in

770
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,000
his league and there is no doubt in anybody's mind about

771
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Kyle Hubbell's place in the National League.

772
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,000
And so far there hasn't been very much of anything

773
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,000
between the two of them.

774
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,000
It's been strictly a pitcher's battle so far and now we

775
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,000
have to sit around here for a while and just wait and see

776
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,000
what the break is going to be.

777
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,000
It's sort of a ball game.

778
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,000
One never knows when it might pop out.

779
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,000
All right Tom.

780
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Going into the first half of third inning.

781
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,000
The National League every the giant coming to bat.

782
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,000
And their second baseman, Purchase Whitehead.

783
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Purchase 26 years old this year.

784
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,000
He hit 286.

785
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Let's see Gomez winds up all on.

786
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Burning fast ball over the plate for two low.

787
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:46,000
One hit of Pete so far.

788
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,000
There's a pounding ball through the box.

789
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,000
A 12 shot by Cogetti to foul.

790
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,000
He's out.

791
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,000
How beautiful play by Frankie Cogetti.

792
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
That was a pounding ball just out of the reach of

793
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Rusty Gomez.

794
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Frankie Cogetti was off with a crack in the back.

795
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,000
Took that ball.

796
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Played over the second base.

797
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Pushing right on the air.

798
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Hooked it over to Luke Gehrig for the foot out.

799
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,000
He appauses for Kyle Hubbell.

800
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000
That was a wonderful.

801
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Kyle Hubbell you know.

802
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Picked his left hand and it's back to Whitehead.

803
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,000
One out.

804
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Nobody on.

805
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,000
A foul up there.

806
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Well there wasn't much of a scramble for that ball.

807
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,000
It hopped right into the waiting hands of a gentleman

808
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:39,000
who I do not believe is going to talk the fact.

809
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Here we go.

810
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Ball inside.

811
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,000
Sharp breaking hook ball.

812
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Just a little bit close.

813
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:51,000
And the count is ball one and strike one on Kyle Hubbell.

814
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Inside of it.

815
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Ball two.

816
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Rusty Gomez that's funny on that one.

817
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,000
Getting quite dark here at Yankee Stadium in New York.

818
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,000
That is advantageous for Rusty Gomez.

819
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Fireball finished.

820
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,000
That's a long tag going out there.

821
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Whitefield shelter going back and near the wall and makes a catch.

822
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,000
That ball was hit exactly 340 feet from home plate.

823
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Dunkford taking that ball just about four feet in front of the barrier

824
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,000
out in deep Whitefield.

825
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:26,000
Mr. Hubbell tagged that ball very, very well.

826
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,000
It's a face hit and an awful lot of ball park.

827
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,000
But not here in space at Yankee Stadium.

828
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,000
Two out.

829
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,000
First half of the third inning, no score yet.

830
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,000
What's going on at the top of the batting order coming up?

831
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,000
It's Joe Moore.

832
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,000
Last time up he was out Gary Gunner.

833
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:47,000
A strike called.

834
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,000
Rusty Gomez pitching and Phil Zicke to catch it.

835
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Coming.

836
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Ball two.

837
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,000
Another shot breaking through the ball is outside.

838
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Correction, ball one, strike one.

839
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000
One and one.

840
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Ball two.

841
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:12,000
Back ball over the plate but just a little bit low.

842
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,000
And it's ball two and strike one.

843
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,000
Let me grab that one.

844
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,000
It's good enough.

845
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Here's the windup.

846
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Ball two and strike one.

847
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Ball back.

848
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,000
And the count is two and two.

849
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Joe Moore coming up for the second time.

850
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Leadoff man of the Giants.

851
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:36,000
The first time up he was out Gary Gunner.

852
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,000
After the up cost that ball to Zicke.

853
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Yankees flipped it around the infield.

854
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Rusty Gomez taking his glove off.

855
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,000
Nice putting it back on in the box.

856
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,000
And here we go.

857
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,000
Ball two, strike two.

858
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Oh a heart smash by Rusty Gomez.

859
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,000
A similar play had ended the Yankee time at bat.

860
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,000
A heart smash through the box to Rusty Gomez.

861
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Grabbed this glove and passed it over the first for the put out.

862
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,000
No runs, no hits, no errors.

863
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Mr. Brown.

864
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,000
All right Mr. Manning.

865
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:18,000
The surprising thing I think is these last two innings as far as the Yankees are concerned is their presentation and a new life.

866
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:25,000
All of us that have been writing and talking about the Yankees have been mentioning their power at the plate.

867
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:31,000
These last two innings have shown them to be a very snappy defensive ball club.

868
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:40,000
Every one of those plays in the last inning and every one of the plays in the second inning was a very deftly handled ball by whether it was outfielders or infielders.

869
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:49,000
That play that Frank Crocetti made down in second base there was I think the most spectacular one so far.

870
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:55,000
The outfielders certainly performed up to a standard that we didn't expect since we regarded them strictly as hitters.

871
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,000
All right, Scott.

872
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:06,000
And while the applause is sweeping through your loudspeaker now is for L. Doopey Gomez who's pitching this afternoon for the Yankees.

873
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,000
The lefty doesn't get very many pace hits during the regular season.

874
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,000
When he gets one, the ball is the most colorful pick.

875
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:22,000
That happens to happen this afternoon when Kyle watches every move and transfer it to you.

876
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Last half of the third inning we have no scores yet.

877
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,000
The Yankees coming to bat.

878
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:32,000
And the pitcher, Lefty Gomez, who's got some unfrozen left hand.

879
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Hubbell, pounding ball down to Whitehead.

880
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:45,000
An easy chance to play to McCarthy and Gomez is up.

881
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,000
It was a rather feeble swing that Lefty took at that ball.

882
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:55,000
Nice easy hopper that pushed his Whitehead, took the knee high and tossed it over to Johnny McCarthy for the up.

883
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Again the top of the Yankee batting order coming up.

884
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:02,000
Frankie Cosetti, one of the three Italian boys that play on the Yankee team.

885
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Ben Cusso and Chiosa, the Italian boys on the Giants team.

886
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,000
Last time up Cosetti threw a face on ball.

887
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:17,000
The pitch ball won, it's low outside.

888
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,000
This is the first game of the World Series.

889
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:23,000
The boys will play four out of seven.

890
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,000
Two here at Yankee Stadium and then we move over to the Polo card.

891
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Here we go.

892
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Strike four.

893
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Now they have a fast ball in there right over the heart of the plate.

894
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,000
It's up high.

895
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,000
A cold strike and the count is four one and strike one.

896
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Last half of the third inning.

897
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,000
Yankees starting, one out, nobody on.

898
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,000
There it is.

899
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Ball two.

900
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,000
That was over the plate.

901
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:55,000
A little bit too low and the count is ball two and the strike one.

902
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Red, roll, third baseman.

903
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,000
Frankie Cosetti, right hand batter is up.

904
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,000
Ball two and strike one.

905
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,000
It is inside, ball three.

906
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,000
Frankie Cosetti is a tough little boy to fix to.

907
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:25,000
Always wiggling up there, giving the pitcher no target to skew that.

908
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,000
One out, nobody on.

909
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Hubbell winds up at ball three and strike one.

910
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,000
It's in there, a cold strike.

911
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:39,000
Ball has that one in there, felt high and right over the heart of the plate.

912
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Frankie Cosetti elected to work out the string and the count is ball three and strike two.

913
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Three and two and this is the big one.

914
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,000
Winding up.

915
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,000
There's a long drive going to left field.

916
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,000
It's all by one foot.

917
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Clear down in the corner.

918
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Everybody jump to their feet.

919
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:08,000
We waited for a moment to make sure that that ball was outside and not more than a foot down in the left field corner

920
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,000
and that perhaps is the hardest hit ball of the afternoon.

921
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,000
That count three and two, Bob Hubbell came in there with a fast ball,

922
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:18,000
much to the liking of Frankie Cosetti, right at toe holes.

923
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,000
That's just a placement, just that kind of a pitch and he nailed it.

924
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,000
Low line drive, it went thick and he scooped down on that left field corner

925
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:32,000
and was followed by not more than a foot.

926
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Nice bit of upfiring here by Phil Stewart.

927
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,000
He said he was on that play.

928
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,000
Ready to go, three and two the count.

929
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:46,000
How high, the grandfusel ripped off his mask, got it back but it's in the stands.

930
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Frankie Cosetti has a count of ball three and strike two.

931
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,000
That one's deep.

932
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Now fire behind the plate this afternoon.

933
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:05,000
Each time he crosses that ball off the boys sort of dirty it up a little bit with a little bit of infield dirt.

934
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:10,000
Ready to go again, Hubbell has the ball, ball three and strike two.

935
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Followed it down third, followed by not too much.

936
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:19,000
So close to being a third ball, the fella trapped it, puts it over to first base.

937
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Frankie has his eye on that hot corner.

938
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Frankie's a little fella, not very heavy but he certainly can pull those balls down for third base.

939
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Playing the last half, the third inning.

940
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,000
Yankees have left with one out, nobody out.

941
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Frankie Cosetti up with a full count.

942
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,000
There's the windup.

943
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,000
High ball going out to left field.

944
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Joey Moore didn't move very much if he hasn't.

945
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Frankie Cosetti is a long left field hitter.

946
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:57,000
Joey Moore, the giant left fielder, was playing out there pretty near the track.

947
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Joey Moore's got four or five yards to make that catch, now he has two out.

948
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Nobody on, left ball put back.

949
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:16,000
Out of the two trips of the plate, Cosetti threw a face on balls and fly to Gilmore and left field.

950
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Left ball up, last time up he struck out.

951
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,000
Two out, nobody on, Hubbell winds up.

952
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:31,000
It's a ball, sweeping third ball, not too fast.

953
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:37,000
That's the outside corner and the count on Rolfe is ball one.

954
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Not quite as dark here, now as it was while he transferred back.

955
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:47,000
No sunshine or anything like that but lightening up a little bit.

956
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Left fielder, the scurvy foul into the stands and the count is ball one and strike one.

957
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:04,000
Back in the batter's box, again Carl Hubbell has a new ball.

958
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:09,000
That's the cleanest looking ball that we've seen out there this afternoon.

959
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Ball one and strike one, two out and nobody on.

960
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:19,000
Fly ball going out to left field, Joey coming over to the line under it.

961
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,000
He takes it and that's all for the Yankees and the Ferdinand.

962
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,000
No runs, no hits, no overs, one.

963
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:32,000
There's no reason to suspect, John, that these pitchers aren't still in complete control of the ball game.

964
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:37,000
Hubbell has been almost perfect, I might say, since the first inning.

965
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:42,000
Outside of Frank Cosetti who hit a ball rather sharply into left field.

966
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,000
And Ralph who just did a dinky fly out to kill more.

967
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,000
None of the others have been able to get the ball past the infield.

968
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:55,000
Hubbell seems to have recovered whatever the lack of control it was that he started out at in the game.

969
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,000
He's getting that ball just about where he wants it.

970
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:03,000
And with these two clubs having a pretty good understanding of such weaknesses,

971
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:10,000
if weaknesses exist in the other side's offensive array, I think Carl will go along pretty well.

972
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:16,000
He seems to be perfectly self-contained whereas Gomez, on the other hand, is just as effective

973
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,000
and seems to be perfectly content with the way things are going on.

974
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,000
I don't know if that I blame him.

975
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,000
All right, Tom.

976
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,000
All right, we're going into the first half of the fourth inning.

977
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,000
We ought to get a bit of excitement now on both sides.

978
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,000
We have Martel up, Leaver coming up for the Giants,

979
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:41,000
and in the fourth inning all the Yankees will have coming up will be DiMaggio, Garry, and Dickie.

980
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Group coaching at first and Snyder at third for the Giants.

981
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Here we go, Martel up.

982
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,000
Gets the first ball pitch with a mighty drive going deep.

983
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,000
Hope going back on the cylinder track and he has it.

984
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Run out.

985
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Dick Martel, as I told you in the first inning, is a long left field hitter.

986
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,000
He got a hold of that first ball pitch.

987
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:04,000
It was a high ball, a runner high, stepped into it, drove it deep out into left field with hope.

988
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:11,000
It was playing deep, running back on the cylinder track, and making the catch.

989
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Now we have Melvin Knott coming up.

990
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:17,000
That was 28 years old.

991
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,000
He got it 294 this year.

992
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Last time up he tried the first baseman, Lou Garry.

993
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,000
The first pitch, ball one.

994
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Stopped breaking, curved ball, it was Mo outside to the left-hand hitter.

995
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:32,000
Ball two.

996
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,000
Last ball right under Melvin's chin, stepped away from the plate.

997
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Now the card is to the nothing.

998
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,000
First half of the fourth inning.

999
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,000
There's a bounding ball through the box.

1000
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,000
Licelli goes over, makes the play, it's close.

1001
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,000
He's out.

1002
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Oh, what a play that was by Tony Licelli.

1003
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,000
That was a bounding ball over the head.

1004
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Oh, Kutny Gomez, Paul Inazeri, running away from first base.

1005
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Grabbed that ball to his right, then leaped over it, shot the ball over to Lou Garry,

1006
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,000
just ahead of Mella.

1007
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Only far above one step.

1008
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Two outs, nobody on.

1009
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:15,000
Beautiful play by Tony, the best play of the game so far.

1010
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Hank Weaver is up.

1011
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:22,000
Right-hand hitter, striking, swings, and listens.

1012
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Two very beautiful infield plays there, one by Licelli and this one by Tony Licelli.

1013
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Strike one, Weaver hitting.

1014
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Strike two, makes a mighty cut at that tough breaking third ball, swung over it, and it's strike two.

1015
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:53,000
High infield fly ball and back of second base, Licelli, the jell's forth, already has it.

1016
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,000
That's all for the Giants for the fourth inning.

1017
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,000
No lungs, no hits, still earned one.

1018
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:04,000
All right, Tom, the thing that I've been waiting for since this world series game began just appeared out there now.

1019
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:13,000
We've heard still throughout the summer that maybe Tony Licelli, the veteran of many a campaign up here with the Yankees, was slowing down a little bit.

1020
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:18,000
Well, he certainly gives no evidence in that play that he made out there in this last inning.

1021
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:22,000
He ranged over back of second base and came up with a ball.

1022
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:29,000
The fact that he got in front of the ball was not so much a part of the play, but his ability to throw while definitely out of position.

1023
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:35,000
He was getting rid of that ball almost while he was running straight away from where he had to source.

1024
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:43,000
And the two activities combined gives Tony at the present time the lead for the spectacular feeling in this series.

1025
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,000
All right, Tom, here's Joe DiMaggio now.

1026
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,000
All right, the big guns of the Yankees.

1027
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:58,000
One of the big reasons why the Yankees is a fallout in front in the American League, DiMaggio, Jerry, and Dick.

1028
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Giant outfield playing way back. Jerry Ripple is standing clear on the other side of the track, standing out there about 360 feet from home plate, waiting for DiMaggio to hit.

1029
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Here we go, Hubble pitching. Ball one. Start breaking curve balls.

1030
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:29,000
A foot outside. Let's see that Joe Moore is playing right on the track. It's approximately 380 feet from home plate.

1031
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:33,000
They played Joe DiMaggio's deep and they should.

1032
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:39,000
The pounding ball between first and second. Right hand coming over. The throw, he's out.

1033
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Joe hit that ball right on the tip of his bat and it was a sizzling little crowder down between first and second. Took for a moment.

1034
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:57,000
He had a chance to beat it out. The plate hit his bat, came over, scooped the ball up, got it through, Johnny McCarthy at first, and DiMaggio is out.

1035
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:10,000
Move Gary again. Last time up, move Gary, got a hold of the ball, but he hoisted it much too high. Getting center field ahead, gave him a chance to get under it, wore the foot off.

1036
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Giant pitcher, Kyle Hubble. Striping the preparation from his foul. Now he's ready to go. Gary's the hitter. Left hand batter.

1037
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Up. Strike, ball. Boy, so the Hubble's gonna be at a lot on that one.

1038
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Passed the ball, he crossed all afternoon. Right over the heart of the plate.

1039
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:52,000
There it is. Outside. All one, right one. Oh yeah, Marcus Oder begins to peek. It's a couple quick times when this lady, Gary, steps up to that plate. What a picture.

1040
01:03:52,000 --> 01:04:07,000
He crossed shoulders with his strong arms. One and one. Oh, clear over the stand. Over the back of first base. Quite a hoist to get it over the stand. Yankee state, he was rejected.

1041
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:23,000
Strike two, ball one. Yanks starting in the fourth inning and it's quite a ball game. A picture's not so far each side having one base hit. Amadio getting a hit for the Yanks and Martell for the Giants.

1042
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:37,000
Strike two and ball one. Inside, driving Gary away from the plate and the count is ball two and strike two. Gotcha Bill Vicki, hanging around home plate. He'll be next.

1043
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:46,000
Martell is playing over almost the back of second base. Whitehead has shifted over between first and second. Macazi playing two yards from the line. Here we go.

1044
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:58,000
Gary's throwing a ball ball just in front of him and it's a strike out. Carl Hubbell came in there fast and started breaking third balls. It looked like it was coming over the side of the plate.

1045
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:07,000
Gary started to swing and apparently tried to hold the swing but he was going in there so hard unable to hold it and swung around missing that ball by several feet.

1046
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:16,000
Kind of bad on that one. First white down, two going and nobody on.

1047
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Always a picture with that Gary at that plate. And that was a real picture of Warren and Teddy apart at the moment. I feel like he has two on, nobody on.

1048
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:37,000
He's in there for a cold strike. You'll notice that from Gary, Vicki came to bat. Hubbell struck the first ball and there was a straight ball with all the speed that he had to his command.

1049
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Keeping the ball just a little above the knee. Good picture.

1050
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Ball there down first, Macazi has it. Macazi running the back to the put out. No one, no hitter, no score to conclude the four inning.

1051
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:08,000
At the time that Gary was at the bat I happened to be looking down into the giant dugout and Bill Kerry is down there sort of out in front of his players and to distinguish him from the rest of them he has a towel around his neck.

1052
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:16,000
I've been trying to figure out for several innings why that was but I gather he was waving his outfielders around particularly his center fielder, Hank Leiper.

1053
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:31,000
He was steering him around with the aid of his arm and the towel and I can see now that the distance of these giant outfielders play away from the plate and naturally away from their own dugout with Gary at the plate it's no wonder that Bill needs a towel around his neck.

1054
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:42,000
From that distance one giant looks the same as another. This is the first time that I've noticed Gary taking that active part in the direction of his outfielders during the progress of play but it was quite interesting to me.

1055
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,000
Alright Tom here comes the next one.

1056
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Now we're going into the first half of the fifth inning.

1057
01:06:49,000 --> 01:07:02,000
As we're beginning to loop unison this time happens to be for the time.

1058
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,000
What's your opinion of that?

1059
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:19,000
Certainly broke off in here. I think Tom was the finest breaking serve that was thrown by either one of these pitchers this afternoon. At least that was the way it looked to me. It didn't start out as a bad hit but it broke so sharply that it made Gary look bad didn't you think so?

1060
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,000
Well here we go. Give me Ripple.

1061
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Right fielder first man up. Ball one.

1062
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,000
Curve ball was outside.

1063
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:33,000
Last time up Ripple fly to left field.

1064
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:39,000
Sokert has moved back over the center track. Joe DiMaggio has moved over right center field.

1065
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,000
Strike.

1066
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Ball. Ball one strike one.

1067
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,000
Let's see Gomez pitching.

1068
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,000
Drive down to left it's foul.

1069
01:07:53,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Goer goes up from the cloud there. Some of the fans were on a different angle than we are.

1070
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,000
Takes a little longer to see whether that ball is curving foul or not.

1071
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:07,000
Alright it's strike two and ball one.

1072
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,000
First half of the fifth inning no score is yet.

1073
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:15,000
Each of the teams the Giants and Yanks have made one hit.

1074
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Ball two a fast ball that knocked Jimmy Ripple down.

1075
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:26,000
That's the first ball of the product that's knocked down this afternoon getting out of the way of the ball.

1076
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:31,000
Ball two and strike two.

1077
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,000
Lefty Gomez pitching. Bill Dickey catching.

1078
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Two and two. The foul back.

1079
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:40,000
And the copy remains two and two.

1080
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:44,000
Ripple got a piece of a good curve ball from Gomez that time.

1081
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:54,000
Well fixed ball. It was breaking over the outside corner.

1082
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,000
Bump fire crossed out a new ball.

1083
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,000
Gave it to Dickey. Dickey shot it down the wall.

1084
01:08:58,000 --> 01:08:59,000
The ball got some dirt.

1085
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Rupped it up and now Olemsby has asked for the ball again.

1086
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:12,000
Crosses out another ball. He's telling Bill Dickey now stop throwing that ball in the dirt.

1087
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:16,000
That's a little play by the boys. Nothing serious.

1088
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:18,000
Yanks threw that ball around the infield.

1089
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:23,000
Now Gomez has it and we're ready to go again.

1090
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,000
Jimmy Ripple. The hitter.

1091
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:27,000
There's a face-off in the way.

1092
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Field of line five.

1093
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:30,000
Rans out there.

1094
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:31,000
Selthorpe has it.

1095
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,000
The Cholest is the second. Ripple stopping it first.

1096
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:38,000
Second giant hit of the afternoon.

1097
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,000
That's out two and two.

1098
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,000
Lefty Gomez came in there with a straight ball inside.

1099
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:49,000
Ripple pulled away and pulled the ball with it to right field for a face-off.

1100
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:56,000
Kelly McCarthy coming up. First baseman.

1101
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,000
Dickey's a pretty cool boy.

1102
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,000
Thompson throws left-handed.

1103
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,000
Last time up. Play to Dickey.

1104
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:04,000
First pitch.

1105
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Money-wise it's played a beautiful stop by Bill Dickey.

1106
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Ball one.

1107
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,000
It was a third ball that started to break over the outside corner.

1108
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:16,000
By the time it was finished it was on the outside of the right-handed battered box.

1109
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:25,000
Here it comes. Ball two. Again it's outside.

1110
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:31,000
You'll notice from the yelling that there are a lot of giant fans here at Yankee Stadium this afternoon.

1111
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,000
There's the counter down.

1112
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,000
It keeps on going.

1113
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,000
Field. And Ripple has found the second.

1114
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,000
There's the throw. The throw is cut off by Kosehni.

1115
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,000
Ripple goes to third.

1116
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:45,000
And McCarthy stops it first.

1117
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,000
That was a hot pass between Lozari and Kelly.

1118
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,000
Lozari coming over fast.

1119
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:56,000
It was scored as a face hit. A face hit for McCarthy.

1120
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,000
A hard ground ball that Lozari came over.

1121
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,000
He was able to touch that ball but unable to hold it.

1122
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,000
Ball rolled on out to right field.

1123
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,000
This is the first scoring front of the afternoon.

1124
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,000
The Giants have runners on first and third.

1125
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,000
Nobody out. Hank Gusman, Kyuso coming up.

1126
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,000
The pitcher again. McCarthy is on first.

1127
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:13,000
Ripple is on third base.

1128
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Gomez pitching. Hank Kyuso up.

1129
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,000
That was a pitch out.

1130
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Ripple was too far off third base.

1131
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,000
Perhaps the Yankees were expecting a squeeze play or something that time.

1132
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,000
Anyway, I think he wanted to find out.

1133
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:30,000
And inside face ball he called for a pitch out.

1134
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,000
Here it is.

1135
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,000
The ball upstairs. Strike.

1136
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,000
Ball one. And strike one.

1137
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Gusman, Kyuso. The Giants catch it.

1138
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:39,000
The white hand batter.

1139
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:45,000
Last time up he played to right field.

1140
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,000
First half of the fifth inning.

1141
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,000
No score as yet.

1142
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,000
And the Giants have runners on first and third.

1143
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Ripple on third. McCarthy on first.

1144
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,000
Ball one. Strike one.

1145
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Here it is. Strike two.

1146
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:00,000
How beautifully pitched ball.

1147
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,000
Right under the hand with the bat.

1148
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:06,000
Over the inside corner with Hank Kyuso taking a terrific cut.

1149
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:10,000
It's strike two and ball one.

1150
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:14,000
Johnny McCarthy staying pretty close to first base.

1151
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Luke Gehry holding him on there.

1152
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,000
Here it is.

1153
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,000
The long drive to right field going foul.

1154
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:28,000
It is. It's foul in the stands and the comp remains two and one.

1155
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Hank Kyuso reaching outside for that pitch.

1156
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,000
Yankees across that ball around the infield.

1157
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:41,000
Not very rapidly but he swallows them stealing the ball.

1158
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,000
And Yankee infield is playing back.

1159
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:47,000
So they give up that run on third base apparently.

1160
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:48,000
Here's the pitch.

1161
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Another foul.

1162
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,000
That was upstairs.

1163
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,000
Upstairs is the back of first base.

1164
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:58,000
Gusman, Kyuso the batter. It's strike two and ball one.

1165
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,000
Let's take a look at that picture for you.

1166
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,000
Second base combination.

1167
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,000
Cosetti and Lozare are playing pretty deep.

1168
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,000
Head ball is playing deep enough.

1169
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:09,000
Gehry gets right in the bag holding McCarthy there.

1170
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Gomez tosses over to Gehry.

1171
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Going to have Harden.

1172
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:19,000
That's Johnny McCarthy. Nobody's in there.

1173
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,000
It's strike two and ball one.

1174
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:22,000
Kyuso up. Gomez stretches.

1175
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,000
Here it is.

1176
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:25,000
The foul ball down to Cosetti.

1177
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,000
Cosetti to Lozare out at second.

1178
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:28,000
Harden throws the double play.

1179
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,000
And Ripple crosses the plate.

1180
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,000
And they got that.

1181
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:32,000
Ripple on third base.

1182
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:33,000
McCarthy on first.

1183
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,000
Man Kyuso hits the ground ball to Cosetti.

1184
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,000
Cosetti picked it up.

1185
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:38,000
Cross to Lozare.

1186
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:39,000
Getting McCarthy.

1187
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,000
Lozare to Gehry.

1188
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,000
Getting Man Kyuso.

1189
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Double play and the score.

1190
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,000
The Giants won.

1191
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:50,000
The Yankees nothing.

1192
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,000
Now we have Burgess Whitehead coming up.

1193
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:53,000
The Giants second base.

1194
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,000
The Whitehead batter.

1195
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,000
Last time up he was out short to first.

1196
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,000
The pitch right down the alley.

1197
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,000
A cold strike.

1198
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,000
Lefty Gomez you know.

1199
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,000
The fans throughout the circuit haven't appreciated

1200
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:05,000
the fireball he possesses.

1201
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,000
But he's got a lot of them.

1202
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:08,000
Outside and it's a ball.

1203
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:12,000
Ball one and strike one.

1204
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,000
Many of the ball players have said that Gomez has a ball.

1205
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:19,000
He throws just quickly and this bastard Bob fellow with Lefty Bob goes.

1206
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,000
Ball one and strike one.

1207
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,000
There's a long smash to Whitefield.

1208
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,000
It's fouled by two yards down the Whitefield corner.

1209
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,000
Again the fans jump to their feet.

1210
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:33,000
And that line's smashed by Burgess Whitehead.

1211
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,000
I believe we've had more shots down the bow lines in this particular game.

1212
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,000
And they gave it to them in the long time.

1213
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,000
Is that right?

1214
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,000
Yeah you don't think so.

1215
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,000
Ready to go again.

1216
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Gomez has the glove off for a moment.

1217
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,000
And the counters strike two and ball one.

1218
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,000
First half of the fifth inning.

1219
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,000
The Giants batting two outs.

1220
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:49,000
Nobody on.

1221
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,000
The wind up.

1222
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,000
There's a face block over Gehry's head down to the Whitefield corner.

1223
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,000
The ball counts off the wall.

1224
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,000
He's going to second there's the foul.

1225
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,000
He goes into second standing up.

1226
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,000
And the first extra face hit of the World Series in 1937.

1227
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,000
And the third giant hit of this inning.

1228
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,000
First half of the fifth.

1229
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Now we have Carl Hubbell.

1230
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,000
The Giants hits are coming up.

1231
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,000
That was a mighty wall up by Burgess Whitehead.

1232
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:20,000
A line drive that was about 15 feet over the head of first baseman Luke Gehry.

1233
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,000
And the ball going down into the Whitefield corner.

1234
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:24,000
He's got the barrier down there.

1235
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,000
Two hundred and twenty-six feet from home plate.

1236
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,000
And a foul to George E. Selkirk.

1237
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,000
But it was ample time for Whitehead.

1238
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,000
Three second base standing up.

1239
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Fourth hit of the ball game.

1240
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:39,000
The third hit of the first half of the fifth inning for the National League Giants.

1241
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:40,000
Here's the pitch to Hubbell.

1242
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,000
He hits the first ball.

1243
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:43,000
Down the foul.

1244
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:44,000
Ryan McInnis foul.

1245
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,000
Listen Paul, I don't want the radio on.

1246
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:47,000
I should think that.

1247
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,000
You tell me about that drive.

1248
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,000
That one just glistened.

1249
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:51,000
It looked like it.

1250
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,000
And then when it died it's gone.

1251
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,000
That's been going on all afternoon.

1252
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:59,000
Right down those foul lines on both sides of the field.

1253
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:06,000
Well, it was so good that Carl Hubbell was all the way down the first on his way to second anyway.

1254
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,000
One thing I don't like about radio announcements is to kitch out, you know.

1255
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Make you believe that there's no chance of a base hit when there isn't.

1256
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:21,000
Here's the pitch.

1257
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:22,000
Don't forget.

1258
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,000
That's a pounding ball to Gehrig.

1259
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Gehrig comes up with it.

1260
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,000
Dips on the bag for the put out.

1261
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,000
That's all for the Giants in the fifth inning.

1262
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,000
One run, three hits and no error.

1263
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,000
We completed four and a half innings of this first game of the Blue Ribbon Classic.

1264
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,000
This is Tom Manning speaking.

1265
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:40,000
I've enjoyed it thoroughly working with you, Warren, and broadcasting to you, the radio audience.

1266
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:46,000
And the remaining part of the ball game will be broadcast by Red Barber of Cincinnati, Ohio.

1267
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,000
But before that comes in, Warren Brown.

1268
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:49,000
All right, Tom.

1269
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Well, we certainly had a little excitement in that inning.

1270
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:57,000
And looking back at it, it was a good thing that Joe McCarty, the rest of the Yankees,

1271
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:03,000
decided to play his infield back for the double play and sort of spot the Giants that one run.

1272
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,000
They thought after a white hit, two base hits came along.

1273
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:12,000
They weren't too out at the time and it looked as though the Giants were on their way to a big inning.

1274
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:19,000
The interesting thing about the inning was that those two hits which started it were both made by left-hand hitters.

1275
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,000
And both of them were able to pull the ball in the right field.

1276
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:29,000
And doing that off the left-hand pitcher Gomez, that would indicate that maybe they are gradually catching up with lefty.

1277
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,000
He was hit rather hard in that inning.

1278
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:36,000
And of course he was very fortunate in one way that there was only one run short.

1279
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,000
And one run, as we all know, against the Yankees is not supposed to be much run.

1280
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,000
However, they don't see Hubble every day.

1281
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,000
All right, Red, glad to see you down here.

1282
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,000
Well, thanks a lot, Warren.

1283
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,000
And it is me to say I'm glad to be here.

1284
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:53,000
One and nothing save for the Giants, but the Yankees up in the last of the fifth inning, call Hubble.

1285
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,000
Doesn't have to have anyone tell him that he has a lead of one run.

1286
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,000
He's used to having to work that way with the Giants.

1287
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:02,000
He's pitching now to Hope, who hits the first pitch high and short out in the left center.

1288
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Wachtell backs back, drives everyone away, waste hundred, and takes it.

1289
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:07,000
No hold.

1290
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:09,000
The right-hand hitter went after Hubble's first pitch,

1291
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:13,000
locked it up to Dick Wachtell who went back into short left center field.

1292
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,000
And it is one up, one away, last of the fifth inning.

1293
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:20,000
Hubble has now retired the last 12 Yankees in a row.

1294
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,000
So far he's pitching a one-hitter.

1295
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,000
It is one and nothing save for the Giants.

1296
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,000
Gohm has retired 11 Giants in a row before Ruppel,

1297
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:32,000
first up in the fifth inning single to start off New York one-run inning.

1298
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:35,000
The only score so far in the 1937 World Series.

1299
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:40,000
Up there now is George Selkirk, strong left-hand batter, takes outside, all one.

1300
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:46,000
A curve thrown by left-handed pitcher to a left-hand hitter that broke off just around the knee.

1301
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,000
Selkirk, pitching up to the thousands, looks as short as a little.

1302
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,000
He's turned toward right field.

1303
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,000
The Giants are playing him as a full hitter, out of defense deep and pulled around toward right.

1304
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,000
Hubble out of his sixth delivered.

1305
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,000
This one's a curve low outside under the knee, so ball through.

1306
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:07,000
Do nothing to trickle-toe Selkirk, the young man who has perhaps the hottest spot ever to fill in baseball

1307
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:16,000
when it was his job to take over right field when Dave Rue hung up his spikes as far as the Yankees were concerned.

1308
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:20,000
Selkirk, coming at six, lays it down once, twice, Hubble sets in with it.

1309
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,000
He swung on and missed the slight one.

1310
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Selkirk didn't like that one.

1311
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:29,000
After he swung and didn't get it, he beat it heavy up to the bat down off the plate as if to say,

1312
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:33,000
there was my Carson Kitchin, I didn't play him again with it.

1313
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,000
One out, nobody on.

1314
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,000
Last of the fifth, Giants leading one to nothing.

1315
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:42,000
Hubble down, ball, ball, three.

1316
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,000
Just lifting the outside.

1317
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:52,000
Hubble has given us a sight of that famous scoop ball just one time, that is, it really counts this afternoon.

1318
01:19:52,000 --> 01:20:00,000
The one time he exploded it was when he struck out Gerrick in the fourth inning.

1319
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,000
Hubble taking his time, looking into the dirt now after getting the sign,

1320
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:07,000
straight it up, swing it straight, he's down with a great left bound, the fifth is one,

1321
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:18,000
three and two, that is a change of pace curve ball, lifting its way down in there.

1322
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,000
Now every ball that looks a little backwards thrown by Hubble is his screw ball

1323
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:26,000
because he throws that resort with a lot of his curve breaking down with sail.

1324
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,000
When you're under to see that screw ball, you know it.

1325
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:33,000
The pitch is, it's a high fly ball into short light field,

1326
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:39,000
back to second base from the whitehead, under comes Ruppel, and Ruppel for the catch.

1327
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,000
That's one about two miles, one up and one down.

1328
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:47,000
Whitehead was all the way back out in a pretty fair piece of right field.

1329
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:50,000
He had to make up his mind, first if he had taken, then second if he wouldn't.

1330
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:56,000
Ruppel, waiting right there, came in for the kill.

1331
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:00,000
Doorway for the Yankees, last of the fifth inning, Giants out front one to nothing.

1332
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,000
The winner is Poonamus Harry.

1333
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Ed McCloskey, drive through him in the fifth inning, most important base hit of the afternoon.

1334
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Throwing that set Ruppel around the third.

1335
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:17,000
Harry in a crouch, doesn't get sick sharply, red hand matter, swings and falls it into the dirt.

1336
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:22,000
Justin and Kuzo retrieve, strike one.

1337
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:29,000
We have both pitches left-handers today, and both of them flirting with Lady Luck as both are wearing eleven.

1338
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:33,000
However, the names cannot smile both ways at the same time.

1339
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:37,000
Ruppel has never lost an opening World Series game, and Gomez has never lost a World Series game.

1340
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:41,000
Somebody is going to get hurt before this day is over.

1341
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:46,000
Ruppel pitching to the very, falls right through, he picks up the inside corner just under the letter.

1342
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Right over the short rib.

1343
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:54,000
Nothing in two, two out, nobody on.

1344
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,000
Last of the fifth inning, Giants are hit one to nothing.

1345
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,000
Not field sharp at one left.

1346
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,000
Poonamus Harry is an out-not-full hitter.

1347
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:06,000
The pitch is into the dirt in front of the plate, four to one.

1348
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:09,000
The first time the Pupils has thrown anything that looked wildly.

1349
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,000
However, that's not a wild pitch.

1350
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:17,000
A wild pitch is only so scored when there's a runner on base to advance and take advantage of it.

1351
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,000
Just four to one.

1352
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:22,000
One and two.

1353
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,000
The Pupils have been down to the last thirteen Yankees in a row.

1354
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:29,000
They have not just one hit, one base on ball coming in the first inning.

1355
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:33,000
First third of the first inning.

1356
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:39,000
Up into his sling and fetch, the limbers outside occur the dimethicum down and in to a right-hand hitter thrown by a left-hander.

1357
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,000
Two and two.

1358
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Now in shortstop, Ruppelbach's thick cocktail, visiting with the juniper, putting his cap down.

1359
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:57,000
Melon, a reformed right fielder who's done a great job at third base, threw a little dirt, threw that at the rain around him.

1360
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,000
He's put over pretty close to the foul line.

1361
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:02,000
Whitehead is over almost back to second base.

1362
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:03,000
There's a two-two pitch.

1363
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:06,000
One on the missed hit, right three.

1364
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:09,000
That's the third strikeout for Carl Hubbell.

1365
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:15,000
As for the first time pitching with a one-round lead, he makes it look just that much better.

1366
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:19,000
Bob has now retired the last 14 men in the row.

1367
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:35,000
We pause for station identification.

1368
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:42,000
Back at the Yankee Stadium and in the NBC post at the top of the stand looking over the World Series.

1369
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:49,000
The long point about Hubbell now, since Red has told you how he's been throwing everybody down since the first inning,

1370
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:54,000
is that in these latter states it seems to me he's making a Yankee hit that bad ball.

1371
01:23:54,000 --> 01:24:01,000
That last pitch on which Tony Lacerri struck out wasn't a very good pitch, but he lashed at it rather wildly.

1372
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,000
That would indicate to me that Hubbell has the boys on a gift.

1373
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:08,000
Nothing but a break is going to beat him so far, but we'll see.

1374
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:09,000
All right then.

1375
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:13,000
Back to wide. It's the top of the job, batting order, after the sixth inning.

1376
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:17,000
Joe Moore coming up for his third time, and he so far hasn't gotten the ball out the infield.

1377
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:22,000
Hitting left-handed, he takes outside, just missing by a hair for ball one.

1378
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:28,000
Joe first up in this ball game, rounded out to Gary on the sifted, then gets back to Gomez in the third inning.

1379
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:32,000
The pitch, strike one, call.

1380
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,000
One and one.

1381
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:37,000
Joe Moore standing deep in batter's box and goes over to catch a Bill Dickey.

1382
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,000
He's down his crouch, not straightened up since he's not at the target.

1383
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:44,000
Swung on and followed into the upper deck of the stands and back on third base.

1384
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:47,000
Going for a high outside pitch.

1385
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:50,000
Joe didn't pull it enough, and it's one and two.

1386
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:52,000
First man up in the sixth inning.

1387
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:57,000
Gomez pitching behind now as the Giants lead him one to nothing.

1388
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,000
The outfield is toward right.

1389
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:03,000
Moore swings, hits a right back to the middle, safely through into the center field.

1390
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:08,000
One single, flank pass to Mount Dover, second out into the center field for hit number five

1391
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:14,000
for the Giants and hit number six of this first game of the 1937 World Series.

1392
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:17,000
Joe Moore, singles right through the middle.

1393
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:22,000
And with nobody out for New York, top of the sixth, the Giants already ahead one to nothing.

1394
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,000
Moore leads down on first.

1395
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:29,000
Gary has the ball in the inside corner, and Nick Bartell, who got the first inning of the series, has one to do his up.

1396
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,000
Takes inside, both against him, ball one.

1397
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:36,000
Bartell on the back ball, just under the waist on the inside.

1398
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:42,000
Bartell stands, turned toward right field, and when he steps in on the pitch, he goes for a short.

1399
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:43,000
Gomez delivers.

1400
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Bartell swinging, hits a high fly ball into right field.

1401
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,000
Zirkirk waiting in the middle of the track for it, and has it.

1402
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:55,000
Halfway down to second, Joe Moore trying to have the catch and retreat back to third base.

1403
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:59,000
One out, top of the sixth.

1404
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:10,000
Coming up is Melvin Atkins, who was a New York Giants driker at the age of 17, as he's been ever since.

1405
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:14,000
Atkins stands just as close to Captain Dickie as he can get.

1406
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:17,000
After he's gone right, Mel swings and misses, and he took his cut.

1407
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,000
One that came down under the shoulders on the inside.

1408
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:24,000
And then hitter up against a left-handed pitcher.

1409
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,000
Gomez drives up to left here, rubbing it across his shirt.

1410
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,000
Takes the sign hurdly, sets in position, goes out of the shoulder.

1411
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,000
Fast ball wide, and it's one and one.

1412
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:38,000
One away, Joe Moore, very fleet, nose is way around the face, is leading down on first.

1413
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:43,000
Hocking Luke Gehrig, the endurance player of all baseball, both the corner against him.

1414
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:48,000
Luke, a coaching backer first, resists on his strike two hold.

1415
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:53,000
A neat sharp foot down just above the knee.

1416
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:57,000
You see these fast balls thrown by Gomez, and then you look at him.

1417
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:00,000
Splendor Willoway, bending himself into a punch with BK-23.

1418
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:01,000
You wonder where he gets to strike.

1419
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Not swinging, it's a high foul.

1420
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:06,000
Up and back into the upper deck.

1421
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:15,000
Yankee Stadium has the ground floor, the first level, then a mezzanine, and then a still higher upper deck.

1422
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,000
So it's three floors of spectators.

1423
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,000
Not quite a sellout.

1424
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:24,000
A few hundred seats are left.

1425
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:28,000
A field quarter right on Knot, who leans back one under the chin.

1426
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Now the level's off at two and two.

1427
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:33,000
One away, here in the top of the sixth.

1428
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:41,000
Gomez looks not too good to scoreboard to check himself.

1429
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:42,000
Not waiting.

1430
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:46,000
Two-two pitches, swung on, lifted, high and foul.

1431
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:50,000
Coming back underneath it, over by the giant dugout, and makes the catch.

1432
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:54,000
One step out in front of the giant bench.

1433
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:59,000
Resting in there, Fox, right in front of New York's dugout.

1434
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,000
Now, that's two away in the top of the sixth.

1435
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:06,000
Joe Moore, who opened up with a single through the middle, is still at first base.

1436
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:10,000
Hank Leiber, who's been given chance after chance by Bill Gerry,

1437
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:14,000
who's received another strong vote of confidence from Boss Bill by starting him

1438
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:21,000
in this first of the 1937 Fall Classic Games, now coming up for his third time.

1439
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:26,000
Leiber was struck out by Gomez to end the first inning.

1440
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,000
Then he pops up to second base in the fourth to his area.

1441
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,000
Now he's up for his third trip, 0 for 2.

1442
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,000
The off-field deep were out to a left.

1443
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:36,000
Swinging fouls it straight back onto the screen.

1444
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,000
Spike one.

1445
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:42,000
Hank, Dick, Blonde.

1446
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:46,000
Look at him, nobody has to tell you that he was one time a fullback.

1447
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,000
He built that way.

1448
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:50,000
Right hand hitter, who cocktails that wall,

1449
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:54,000
grab and swings from his heels on up and out.

1450
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,000
Two away, and Joe Moore under going anything, leading down off first.

1451
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,000
270 feet away.

1452
01:28:58,000 --> 01:28:59,000
Leiber steps back out of the box.

1453
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:02,000
Berg and Gomez taking too much time.

1454
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:03,000
Lifted, very, very nervous.

1455
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:04,000
The first attempt to the shuttle.

1456
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:05,000
He knows they're both left-handed.

1457
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,000
Delivers outside.

1458
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:10,000
One and one.

1459
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:12,000
The ball's leaking down.

1460
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,000
The bus is quite even close.

1461
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:15,000
Leiber steps back out of the box.

1462
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,000
Picks up a little dirt in his right hand.

1463
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:18,000
Now sets.

1464
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:19,000
He stands right up against the plate.

1465
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Feet wide spread.

1466
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:22,000
That punt way back.

1467
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Now over his right shoulder.

1468
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,000
He swings and it's a long foul.

1469
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,000
He's a cry on him to a left.

1470
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,000
Holds back on Rick and makes it.

1471
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:34,000
That's all for the top of the sixth inning.

1472
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,000
And for the Yankees, coming in for the last of the sixth.

1473
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,000
The Giants lead 1-0.

1474
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:43,000
As Carl, Carl Hubbell starts pacing out toward the mound.

1475
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:45,000
End of the mic, Warren Brown.

1476
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:46,000
All right, Red.

1477
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:50,000
I was going to pay particular attention to that last half inning

1478
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:53,000
because it was the one in which Gomez had to pitch

1479
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:57,000
after he was rough-house a little bit just before that.

1480
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,000
And when Joe Moore, another left-hand hitter,

1481
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:04,000
went off with that single to the infield and out in the center field,

1482
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:08,000
I began to wonder whether Gomez was losing his stuff or not.

1483
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:12,000
However, Lefty is still out there battling them because he recovered.

1484
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:14,000
And while the Giants have one run off him,

1485
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,000
they certainly haven't distinguished themselves any more

1486
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:20,000
than the Yankees themselves have against the pitching of Carl Hubbell.

1487
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:23,000
Gomez is still the effective pitcher and a great pitcher,

1488
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:26,000
and there's been nothing happened in this game that this proved that.

1489
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:30,000
As he goes through his work out there, as Red told you,

1490
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:34,000
he seems to be a little more busy than Hubbell is.

1491
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:38,000
Hubbell is certainly a very calm sort of a person,

1492
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,000
and playing behind that one-run lead, he has the advantage.

1493
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:43,000
All right, Red.

1494
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:48,000
The applause greets the appearance of Lefty Gomez

1495
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:52,000
as he steps up to hit against Hubbell first up in the last of the sixth inning.

1496
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:56,000
Hubbell out there pitching to protect his one-to-nothing advantage.

1497
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:59,000
Gomez hitting left-handed.

1498
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:00,000
Thrown out.

1499
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:01,000
Whitehead to McCarthy.

1500
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,000
He's got the time up.

1501
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:05,000
He ducks, hits the dirt as one comes right in at the point of his shoulder.

1502
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,000
All one.

1503
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:12,000
Well, that certainly wouldn't be the accolade that one pitcher gives another,

1504
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:15,000
but at any rate it was a warm salutation.

1505
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,000
As the boys say, Gomez was low-pitched.

1506
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:22,000
He had to pull his ears in in a hurry in order to keep them both.

1507
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:26,000
Up now, drying off his hands, rubbing the dirt off of them.

1508
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,000
Van Cusso doesn't look at all sympathetic.

1509
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:33,000
Sweating down in his crouch now, Danza.

1510
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,000
Gomez, dry it off his hands.

1511
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,000
He couldn't get to the white dry rubbing along his uniform.

1512
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,000
One of the Giants threw them the Giant Patters Roshan Bag.

1513
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,000
They used it and then tossed it back.

1514
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:44,000
Ball one, of course.

1515
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:45,000
Out the little court left.

1516
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:46,000
Up the cheeks.

1517
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:47,000
High inside.

1518
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Ball two.

1519
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:50,000
Thank you, So.

1520
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,000
Turns over that ball.

1521
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:54,000
Comes by a long three.

1522
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:55,000
Well, examines it.

1523
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:56,000
Takes it out of play.

1524
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:57,000
And another one's put in.

1525
01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:00,000
Turns right back to Hubbard.

1526
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:01,000
Two-nothing to Gomez.

1527
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:04,000
First up, last to sixth inning.

1528
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:06,000
The Giants lead the Yankees one to nothing.

1529
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:07,000
Got that run.

1530
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,000
Hubbard to fifth.

1531
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:10,000
Hubbard to third.

1532
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:14,000
The last 14 Yankees in a row.

1533
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:15,000
Hubbard delivers two-nothing.

1534
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:19,000
Inside and high for the ball three.

1535
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:25,000
Hubbard is behind on his control now for the first time since he walked for Zaddy.

1536
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:30,000
First up against him in the ball game.

1537
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:34,000
Earl Combs coaching back of third.

1538
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:35,000
Coaching back of first.

1539
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:36,000
Fletcher back of third.

1540
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:40,000
Both of them setting out a hoop no more.

1541
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:42,000
Gomez trying to play from behind.

1542
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:43,000
Ahead three-nothing.

1543
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:45,000
Hub comes in and gets it.

1544
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:46,000
The automatic strike.

1545
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:47,000
Three-and-one.

1546
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:51,000
Just above the knees.

1547
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:57,000
Mellott playing up close, about third.

1548
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,000
Up charge three-one.

1549
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:00,000
And registers.

1550
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:04,000
Right two-goal.

1551
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:05,000
Up behind three-nothing.

1552
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:08,000
Has thrown his last two pitches right through there.

1553
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:09,000
Pick up his cap for a moment.

1554
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:11,000
Wipes the first-race milk for his ball out.

1555
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:14,000
It's a hot, muggy, steaming sort of an afternoon.

1556
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:19,000
The way he was sitting in the upper deck of a double ball out.

1557
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:21,000
Up ready for the three-two pitch.

1558
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:22,000
Aims it.

1559
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:23,000
It's swung on and crawled tipped back.

1560
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:26,000
First time that Gomez has offered it one.

1561
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:29,000
Up this time, first and the last of the sixth.

1562
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:33,000
A few balls put in the way of third baseman Ott.

1563
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Coming it up.

1564
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:38,000
Walks calmly over toward the mound.

1565
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:40,000
There are two rather cool customers.

1566
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:41,000
Ott at third.

1567
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:42,000
Up along the mound.

1568
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,000
Another cool one is Mancuso under that back.

1569
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:47,000
Right side of the infield, talking it up between them.

1570
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:49,000
A healthy and white head.

1571
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:50,000
A easy swinging stretch.

1572
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:51,000
He doesn't wind up.

1573
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:52,000
Delivers.

1574
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Low end sign for ball four.

1575
01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:59,000
Ovele has given up two walks.

1576
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,000
Gomez hasn't walked in a while.

1577
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:04,000
And both times Ovele has walked a Yankee.

1578
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:10,000
He has dabbed the old baseball axiom that the first counter-up to the inning is fatal.

1579
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:12,000
And that's Ovele passing Gomez.

1580
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:14,000
His opposing set your first up from the last to sixth.

1581
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:20,000
Puts the potential to hang on on first with nobody else.

1582
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:26,000
Now let's see how the Yankees go about trying to get back this one run.

1583
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:30,000
One run through the season hasn't meant anything at all to the Yankees.

1584
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:35,000
But one run against Hubbell in a short series such as the World Series can mean a lot.

1585
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:40,000
After all, when a ball game is over, one run is a whole lot if you haven't got it.

1586
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Gomez leading down on first not very far.

1587
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,000
Frank Crisetti, the leadoffer is up there.

1588
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:47,000
He's been on once for the walk.

1589
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,000
First inning.

1590
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:50,000
I feel he's pulled around toward left.

1591
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:52,000
His right hand hitter.

1592
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:53,000
There's a throw down to first.

1593
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:54,000
Out of time.

1594
01:34:54,000 --> 01:35:00,000
This goes right outside for ball one.

1595
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:02,000
Gomez ran down on first a little bit.

1596
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:05,000
And when Mancuso took that outside pitch and threw to first,

1597
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:11,000
it was cut off by McCarthy who had run in anticipating a bunt on the part of Crisetti.

1598
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:18,000
So even if Gomez had been a long way off first, which he was, there was nobody at first base to tag him.

1599
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:20,000
Hots pulled up, stepped back to grass at third.

1600
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:22,000
Right hand pulled up on the baseline at second.

1601
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:25,000
There's an attempted bunt which is fouled back onto the screen.

1602
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:26,000
One and one.

1603
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:31,000
Frank Crisetti with a high, piercing voice.

1604
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:35,000
He'll be heard from short regardless of the size of the crowd.

1605
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:37,000
Up there, hitting right-handed.

1606
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:38,000
Counts one and one.

1607
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:41,000
Mancuso.

1608
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:43,000
Pause for time, walks out through the mound,

1609
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:44,000
talking to Hubble.

1610
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:47,000
And now both men of the Giant Battery have their caps off

1611
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:51,000
and both are rubbing the beads of perspiration off of their faces.

1612
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,000
Mancuso with a great big handkerchief.

1613
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:56,000
Now he's tucked it back in his pocket.

1614
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,000
Comes dumping, startlingly, back of the plate.

1615
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:04,000
Swarming little dustman, Mancuso.

1616
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,000
It's been a lot more to the Giant pitching

1617
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:10,000
than most people realize the last few years.

1618
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:12,000
Defense pulled up on the infield.

1619
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:14,000
Outfield, usual depth and around toward left.

1620
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:15,000
Crisetti up, counts one and one.

1621
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:16,000
Nobody out.

1622
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:18,000
Gomez off first.

1623
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:19,000
Up pitches.

1624
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,000
There's another attempted bunt and it's fouled back.

1625
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:24,000
Strike two.

1626
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,000
Hubs come right in with these last two pitches.

1627
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:30,000
Crisetti has not been able to lay them down.

1628
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,000
One and two.

1629
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,000
Nobody out.

1630
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:37,000
One deck to hit after Crisetti is wrong.

1631
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:41,000
Hubs naturally going to be trying to throw a double play ball right now.

1632
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,000
There's been one double play in the ball game.

1633
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:49,000
That was hit in two by Mancuso as he got credit for batting in the one run so far of the struggle in the fifth inning.

1634
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,000
Run it on first and third.

1635
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:54,000
Scores one to nothing to the Giants.

1636
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,000
Ball game here in Yankee Stadium.

1637
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:58,000
A lot of a cloudy, smoky afternoon.

1638
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,000
Crisetti waiting now behind one and two.

1639
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:01,000
Up pitches.

1640
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:02,000
Crisetti swings.

1641
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:04,000
A space hit.

1642
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,000
Joe Martex on the first bounce.

1643
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Gomez holds that second.

1644
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,000
A sharp single for Crisetti into left field.

1645
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:12,000
A long single.

1646
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:21,000
I imagine the Giants wish now that Crisetti hadn't fouled off those two pitches when he was trying to bunt.

1647
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:24,000
Pubble after getting 14 straight Yankees.

1648
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:26,000
Walked Gomez.

1649
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,000
The second pass he's given up.

1650
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:29,000
Walked Gomez.

1651
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:31,000
First step from the last of this sixth inning.

1652
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:36,000
And Crisetti after vainly trying twice to sacrifice.

1653
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:41,000
Swung on a one-two pitch and hit a clean line drive single to left.

1654
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:44,000
That's the second hit off Pubble.

1655
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:48,000
And now the tying run is at second and nobody is out and the batter is red wrong.

1656
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:51,000
The Giants' defense is pulled in after the second that's going to be a bunt.

1657
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:52,000
Rof takes high outside.

1658
01:37:52,000 --> 01:38:00,000
Mancuso throws the second and Gomez is safe as the ball gets away from Bartel.

1659
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:07,000
Mancuso has Gomez picked off second base but his throw gets away from shortstop Bartel.

1660
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:10,000
And Gomez slides back in and is safe.

1661
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:13,000
He was absolutely caught off off second base.

1662
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:18,000
A pitch out coming down to Rof outside for ball one.

1663
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:25,000
Mancuso throwing to the third base corner of second and Gomez cleanly caught off.

1664
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:31,000
And it is an error on the play for Bartel, the first error of the series.

1665
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:36,000
Bartel letting Mancuso throw a getaway when Gomez was caught cleanly off second.

1666
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:38,000
Error for Bartel.

1667
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:48,000
And Gomez remains at second base.

1668
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,000
Rof, with left hand get up, standing close to him back of the plate,

1669
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:53,000
Huff pitches, Rof takes high outside.

1670
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Mancuso threatens to throw it on to second but this time Gomez is glued to the bag.

1671
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:04,000
He learned his lesson the easy way just now.

1672
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:14,000
And we're having excitement here in the last of the sixth as the Yankees are threatening to rise into their much-reported power and strike.

1673
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:17,000
Rof up to match you on deck.

1674
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:22,000
Huff pitches inside for ball three and Rof at the head.

1675
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:26,000
Gomez is behind with his control.

1676
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:32,000
This New York crowd at the moment seems to be a Yankee crowd.

1677
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:40,000
They're off the way, they are applauding these balls that Hobble is missing the plate with to Red Rock, the Yankee third baseman.

1678
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,000
Nobody outlaps the sixth.

1679
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:47,000
Presente is at first, Gomez is at second.

1680
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:50,000
Rof up there, three-nothing.

1681
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:55,000
Huff comes in and Rof takes strike one call.

1682
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:59,000
Rof up there, wiggling and dancing.

1683
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:08,000
There's a man-footed dancer on the San Luis Sahara high nose trying to disconcerting Hob and making him miss his target.

1684
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:11,000
Hobble in the pitching position, going out of the shoulder.

1685
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:15,000
There's a bunt foul by Hobb third.

1686
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:17,000
Three-one pitch, attempted bunt.

1687
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,000
It was fouled off.

1688
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:22,000
Nine-three and two.

1689
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:24,000
Hobb walks right back of that mound.

1690
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:26,000
So this is just batting practice.

1691
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:29,000
I think that's one of his greatest assets.

1692
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:31,000
The man is never unnerved.

1693
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:38,000
I think the way Hobble pitches, especially in times of stress in baseball, is a good lesson for most of us in the everyday world.

1694
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:46,000
He just very quietly keeps his chin out and keeps going as best he knows how.

1695
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:48,000
Three-and-two, running feet off first and second.

1696
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:53,000
Swung on, fouled, right over into the Yankee dugout.

1697
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:56,000
Still three-and-two.

1698
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:58,000
Pace is rather slow.

1699
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:02,000
The Giants become thinkers in a clutch.

1700
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:11,000
They figure out everything they're going to do, and they're certain that everybody on the ball club knows exactly what the defensive move will be.

1701
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:14,000
Up trying off that left-hander here.

1702
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:19,000
Goes with the rosin bag, steps up onto the rubber, rugs his shoulders.

1703
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:23,000
Now looks down, takes the sign from Mancuso, who's staying in his crouch.

1704
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,000
Rob crouching, left-hander over the plate.

1705
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:26,000
Huff pitches.

1706
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,000
There's a high foul coming up and back.

1707
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:30,000
Mancuso coming back, back, cannot get it.

1708
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:32,000
It lands just back on the screen.

1709
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,000
Still three-and-two.

1710
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:37,000
Still the old blood pressure.

1711
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:44,000
Keeps pounding away up there at a baseball high for excitement.

1712
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:46,000
The Giants drew first blood this afternoon.

1713
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:49,000
The only blood so far that's been let.

1714
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:51,000
They got a run in the fifth inning.

1715
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,000
They're leading by that margin, one to nothing.

1716
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:58,000
However, here in the last of the sixth, a walk, a single, and then an error.

1717
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:02,000
Allows Yankees to be at first and second and nobody else.

1718
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:05,000
The three-two counters to Red Rock.

1719
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,000
Up looks around. Gomez leads off second.

1720
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:09,000
He's letting him down off first.

1721
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:11,000
Huff pitches, three-two.

1722
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:13,000
There's stuff in on him.

1723
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:14,000
It's a hit.

1724
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:17,000
Gomez pulls up back third base and the bases are loaded.

1725
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:19,000
A single to left center field.

1726
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:23,000
And the bases have pulled nobody out in the last of the sixth.

1727
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:39,000
And now the Tannemaiders, DiMaggio, Kerik, and Dickey, is the program.

1728
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:42,000
Down in the giant bullpen.

1729
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:47,000
One of the relief pitches is being warmed up, but he is completely hidden from view.

1730
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,000
So they can't tell you who it is.

1731
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:53,000
You cannot see in either team's bullpen here at the stadium

1732
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:58,000
the potential relief pitches as they groom themselves to get ready.

1733
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:01,000
A single into left center field by Rock.

1734
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:03,000
And Banshees is ready.

1735
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:05,000
Second base and Gomez to third.

1736
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:09,000
They both had to hold to see whether Joe Moore could come in and make the catch which he could.

1737
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:12,000
Now the bases loaded, nobody out.

1738
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:14,000
Last of the sixth inning.

1739
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:17,000
And Joe DiMaggio, Joe DiJo is up there.

1740
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,000
Right-hand hitter, deep wide spread.

1741
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:23,000
He's spreading right through the middle of batter's box.

1742
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:24,000
Gomez leading off third.

1743
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:25,000
Corsetti off second.

1744
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:27,000
Rock down off first.

1745
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:30,000
His defense is deep around foot left.

1746
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:31,000
Huff delivers.

1747
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:32,000
It's swung on.

1748
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:34,000
It's a base hit.

1749
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:35,000
In comes Gomez.

1750
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:36,000
Corsetti around third.

1751
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:37,000
He's heading for the plate.

1752
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:41,000
Two runs are in and run us our own places and second.

1753
01:43:41,000 --> 01:44:10,000
Business has picked up during this first game of the World Series

1754
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:12,000
in the last of the sixth inning.

1755
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:14,000
With the bases full and nobody out.

1756
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:17,000
And the Yankees behind one to nothing.

1757
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:20,000
DiMaggio, who got the first hit for the Yankees,

1758
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:24,000
hit a whistling single to left center field.

1759
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:28,000
And scored Gomez from third and Corsetti from second.

1760
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:29,000
Sending Rock around to third.

1761
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:33,000
And when the throw in from center field came to third base,

1762
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:37,000
DiMaggio running like a deer, made it on the throw in to second.

1763
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:39,000
So the Yankees go ahead two to one.

1764
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:41,000
Nobody out and run us on second and third.

1765
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:44,000
And Bill Terry has walked out to the heart of the dam.

1766
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:46,000
To hold a personal time grab with Hubbell.

1767
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,000
And Qusso and shortstop Bartell.

1768
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:52,000
Bill Terry making his first public appearance in the series.

1769
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:54,000
Comes out from under the shelter of the dugout.

1770
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:59,000
To the pitcher's mound to talk it over.

1771
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:02,000
And it's the moment.

1772
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:09,000
Signals are being relayed to the both end.

1773
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:11,000
Hubbell is to stay in.

1774
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:12,000
That's the decision.

1775
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Gehrig is up.

1776
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:15,000
And he's to be given a deliberate face on ball.

1777
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,000
There's ball one.

1778
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:18,000
Let's just try to see.

1779
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,000
Luke Gehrig, first base is open.

1780
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:21,000
Nobody out.

1781
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:24,000
The Yankees lead two to one.

1782
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:28,000
And DiMaggio and Rock are on second and third respectively.

1783
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:30,000
Gehrig will soon be at first.

1784
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:32,000
And there is ball three.

1785
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:37,000
A deliberate walk being given to Luke Gehrig.

1786
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Not because they like him, but because they don't want a pitch to him right now.

1787
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:41,000
There's ball four.

1788
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:58,000
And Gehrig is purposely put on first.

1789
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:00,000
And the bases are loaded.

1790
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,000
Put nobody out in the last of the sixth.

1791
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:04,000
Bill Dickey is up there.

1792
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:08,000
Bad Bill, as the Yankees call him right now.

1793
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:10,000
He'll be Sweet William if he delivers.

1794
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,000
The infield is pulled up on the base path.

1795
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:13,000
The left-hand hitter is Dickey.

1796
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:14,000
Hubbell pitching.

1797
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:17,000
Low outside for ball one.

1798
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:20,000
The Yankees have caught in past the Giants.

1799
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:23,000
And they're threatening to do still more.

1800
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,000
Here in the last of the sixth of this first game.

1801
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:30,000
The Giants enter defense right up on the base path.

1802
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:32,000
Bases jam.

1803
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:34,000
Blunders at all three points.

1804
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,000
Dickey waiting.

1805
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:39,000
Takes low for ball two.

1806
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:41,000
One just run to the knees.

1807
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:47,000
Ball two.

1808
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,000
Two to one.

1809
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:54,000
The Yankees in this city series.

1810
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:55,000
Hubbell.

1811
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:58,000
One of the toughest spots of his life.

1812
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:00,000
It's a sweltering hot afternoon.

1813
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:02,000
Cloudy.

1814
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:04,000
Hubbell has extra heat applied to him right now at the moment.

1815
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:09,000
Aside from the weather.

1816
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:10,000
Dickey waiting.

1817
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:12,000
He's ahead.

1818
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:13,000
Two-nothing pitch.

1819
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,000
Swung on as the ground ball.

1820
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:16,000
The hit box down with the half.

1821
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:17,000
The cover.

1822
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:19,000
The bases remain full and the run scores.

1823
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:36,000
A hit and a miss.

1824
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:41,000
An infield single by Bill Dickey gets in.

1825
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:42,000
Throw out.

1826
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:43,000
Drum third race.

1827
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:45,000
And the Yankees go ahead.

1828
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:46,000
Three to one.

1829
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,000
The bases still are loaded.

1830
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:51,000
And yet no one is out in the last of the six.

1831
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:52,000
That was a ground ball.

1832
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:53,000
Hit towards second.

1833
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:54,000
Whitehead.

1834
01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:55,000
Dove on his chest.

1835
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:56,000
Knocked it down.

1836
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:58,000
Did not allow it to roll out of the infield.

1837
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:00,000
But did not make a play on it.

1838
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:01,000
And now it's Dickey off first.

1839
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:03,000
Gehrig off second.

1840
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:04,000
And the match is off third.

1841
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:07,000
The matter is Cole getting right handed.

1842
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:08,000
Nobody else.

1843
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:10,000
High inside.

1844
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:11,000
Ball one.

1845
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:12,000
Cole getting right handed.

1846
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:13,000
Hubbell.

1847
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:16,000
Great left-hander.

1848
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:22,000
And a great kill in front of him.

1849
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Three to one now.

1850
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:25,000
And the Yankees are pressing their advantage.

1851
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:27,000
Riding hard.

1852
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:28,000
Polk in a crouch.

1853
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Swings and misses.

1854
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:32,000
One and one.

1855
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:43,000
Hubbrook with curve end just above his knees on the inside.

1856
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:44,000
Hubbell.

1857
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:46,000
Shoulder sagging.

1858
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,000
Passed right into the back.

1859
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:49,000
Marches his chest.

1860
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,000
Takes a deep breath.

1861
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:53,000
Polk rather nervous.

1862
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,000
Into a crouch.

1863
01:48:55,000 --> 01:48:57,000
Takes inside.

1864
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:58,000
Ball two.

1865
01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:59,000
The curve broke off.

1866
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:03,000
And it's two and one.

1867
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:05,000
The Yankee siege guns are on the bases.

1868
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:07,000
DiMaggio at third.

1869
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:08,000
Gehrig at second.

1870
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:09,000
And Dickey at first.

1871
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:10,000
Nobody else.

1872
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:12,000
Three runs in.

1873
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:14,000
This is the seventh hitter.

1874
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:18,000
From the last to the sixth.

1875
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:19,000
Up comes down.

1876
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:20,000
There is a ground ball.

1877
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:21,000
Hits the third.

1878
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:22,000
The play is to the plate.

1879
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:23,000
One out.

1880
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:24,000
A force of home.

1881
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:25,000
That's the first out.

1882
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:27,000
From the last to the sixth inning.

1883
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:30,000
Cole was scored as a fearless choice.

1884
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:33,000
And there was no play at first base made for him.

1885
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:35,000
Grounded just to the left.

1886
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,000
Up third based on Malak.

1887
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:39,000
Who made the pick up.

1888
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:43,000
Then calmly through to Gus Mantutel standing on home plate.

1889
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:48,000
To force DiMaggio coming home.

1890
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:50,000
That's one out.

1891
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,000
The base is still full.

1892
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:54,000
The matter is Selkirk.

1893
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:55,000
The eighth Yankee.

1894
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,000
Up here in the last to the sixth.

1895
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,000
Being left handed, turn toward right field.

1896
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:04,000
Very, very strong and brawny and quite active.

1897
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:06,000
Infield on the left side up on the bases.

1898
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,000
Almost up to the base pairs on the right.

1899
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:10,000
Swinging strike one.

1900
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:13,000
The curve ball broke off the fingers and down on the inside.

1901
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:15,000
Selkirk went after it and didn't get it.

1902
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:19,000
Groups of hands together.

1903
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:20,000
Outfield deep.

1904
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:22,000
Pulled around toward right.

1905
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:23,000
Just up on the other knot.

1906
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:25,000
Right up on the baseline.

1907
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:28,000
Whiteheads back a step to open the baseline.

1908
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:31,000
Inside under the chin for a shave and ball one.

1909
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:33,000
One and one to Selkirk.

1910
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:36,000
Here in this Danimite laden last half of the sixth inning.

1911
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,000
From the Yankees.

1912
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:44,000
After having 14 of them go down in order.

1913
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:48,000
One of the bubbles walked to go mass first up in the sixth with base hits.

1914
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:53,000
The pitch is a curve which is hit safely through the hole between first and second into right field.

1915
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:54,000
In comes Gary.

1916
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,000
Around third comes Dickie.

1917
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:57,000
Heading for the plate and scores.

1918
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,000
Two more runs come in.

1919
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:01,000
As Selkirk single.

1920
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:04,000
Turns in two runs to put the Yankees ahead five to one.

1921
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:07,000
And sends home a round to third base.

1922
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:09,000
Single to right by Selkirk.

1923
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:19,000
It's sharply through the hole between first and second.

1924
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:22,000
And the Yankees are going away.

1925
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:27,000
They're now in front five to one.

1926
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:31,000
And Van Cusso walks sadly out to the mound.

1927
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:36,000
The Hubble is finished.

1928
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:39,000
Back in the dark resources of the giant bullpen.

1929
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:43,000
Will come another of Terry's mound crew.

1930
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:52,000
To assume a burden which apparently was left in the last game of the 1936 series.

1931
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:59,000
It seems as though we are right back beginning today where we left off last fall.

1932
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:02,000
The conference out there on the mound.

1933
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,000
Hubble still standing around.

1934
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:09,000
Whitehead has come in for second.

1935
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:19,000
Vartel, Van Cusso.

1936
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:21,000
Harry Gumbott.

1937
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:22,000
Harry Gumbott.

1938
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:24,000
The tall young right-hander.

1939
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:28,000
Is coming in to relieve Paul Hubble.

1940
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:33,000
Eight of the Yankees faced Hubble in the last of this sixth inning.

1941
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:42,000
Seven of them got safely on and five of them have scored.

1942
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:46,000
Harry Gumbott.

1943
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:49,000
Very tall, making that long walk.

1944
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:56,000
The bullpen for the giant is hidden in the stands behind right center field.

1945
01:52:56,000 --> 01:53:01,000
He has to make all that distance as he comes into the ball game.

1946
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:05,000
With the rich he gets pretty well acclimated before he ever gets to the mound.

1947
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:06,000
Gumbott.

1948
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:08,000
Number 14.

1949
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:15,000
Now pitching.

1950
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:19,000
Gumbott first announced over the last speaker and now Kaufman.

1951
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:21,000
And it is Dick as he steps to the mound.

1952
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:28,000
It's Dick Kaufman, the former American Negro.

1953
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:34,000
Before the relief pitcher came into sight, Gumbott was announced as replacing Hubble.

1954
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:41,000
But after the pitcher came into sight, it was announced as Kaufman.

1955
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:49,000
Dick Kaufman, right-hander, who has been prominent as the giant's number one relief man the last couple of years.

1956
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:54,000
And now Kaufman throwing down to Mancuso.

1957
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:57,000
You've had so much fireworks lately while Kaufman's living up.

1958
01:53:57,000 --> 01:53:59,000
Why and how have you seen it?

1959
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:02,000
Well, it seems a long time to go back that far, Ed.

1960
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:10,000
But I'm still thinking about that play at second base when the ball got away from Dick Bartel after it seemed as though Mancuso had chopped him off.

1961
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:14,000
And it was amazing the way the Yankees leaped into action after that break,

1962
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:20,000
which was very definitely the break for which they've been waiting throughout this entire ball game.

1963
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:25,000
It's also interesting to me to note that when Gomez had his bad inning, which was the fifth,

1964
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:29,000
he managed to escape from there with one run.

1965
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:35,000
When it came time for the Yankees to tear after Hubble, one thing or another,

1966
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:41,000
combined with their own powerful hitting, particularly those singles, which were hit with a great deal of authority,

1967
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:45,000
certainly ruined his afternoon for them very rapidly.

1968
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:54,000
There was one possible play in this inning, a play that Whitehead tried to make on the ball Bill Dickey hit down.

1969
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:59,000
It was a slow hit ball and Whitehead made a noble try for the ball, diving after it,

1970
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:06,000
but he was unable to get the ball and get it in time to make a play for anyone.

1971
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:12,000
It seems interesting to me, red, at the present time that we've gone through an inning here with the Yankees making five runs,

1972
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:17,000
and so far there is no semblance of their patent at home run.

1973
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:20,000
It's been almost in one of these big innings of the Yankees.

1974
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:24,000
It seems as though somebody walks up there and hits one out of the park.

1975
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:27,000
Isn't that your impression of the Yankee big inning?

1976
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:34,000
Right you are, Warren. And there's also some big stuff brewing down there, which doesn't very often happen.

1977
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:40,000
Now that mistake about announcing Gumbert as the relief pitcher is causing a fuel roar,

1978
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:43,000
and I guess you know the technicalities involved.

1979
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:45,000
Mr. Porsche, go ahead and explain it, Warren.

1980
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:52,000
Well, after he becomes announced officially as a pitcher, he is definitely the pitcher until at least he throws one ball.

1981
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:57,000
And when Kaufman appeared on the mound, Art Fletcher, the Yankee coach, immediately went over

1982
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:02,000
and started complaining to the umpires about it, and the result was there was quite a conference.

1983
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:04,000
And now we have Gumbert back there.

1984
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:12,000
Gumbert, Gumbert's hand, now pitching for the Giants.

1985
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:14,000
So that's the way that thing works out.

1986
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:18,000
I think that's the first time in World Series history that I've seen anything like that.

1987
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:23,000
Frequently in baseball games we've seen a pinch hitter announced and go up to the plate.

1988
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:28,000
For example, a left-handed hitter going up to hit, and a pitching substitution is made,

1989
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:33,000
whereupon another announcement is made of a right-hand hitter, and the right-hand hitter takes his place at the bat

1990
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:36,000
without the left-hand hitter having been up there at all.

1991
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:39,000
But as far back as I can remember, this is the first time we've had a Fletcher in the game

1992
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:44,000
without doing any more than warming up in the bullpen and walking all that long distance.

1993
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:49,000
And it certainly is a long distance from that giant bullpen in right field.

1994
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:56,000
So that now that law and order has been restored again, we really do have Harry Gumbert out there pitching,

1995
01:56:56,000 --> 01:57:02,000
and I congratulate Silvette on detecting that, even though Kaufman got in ahead of him.

1996
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:07,000
Well, thanks a great deal, Warren. And I guess baseball is like life itself.

1997
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:09,000
You can never tell just exactly what's going to happen.

1998
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:14,000
First, Gumbert is announced, and then a correction.

1999
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:17,000
And apparently that's all there is to it, as most of the folks up here think.

2000
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:22,000
The conference coming into pitch. And then suddenly a technicality is involved.

2001
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:27,000
And it involved, was involved, around whether the public address announcer was officially informed

2002
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:32,000
that Gumbert would pitch. And evidently he was, because that being the case, Gumbert has to pitch.

2003
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:38,000
Had the announcer himself just on his own authority said Gumbert would pitch, that wouldn't have had any bearing.

2004
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:45,000
And now up there now is Lazare. But the throw goes over to first base as Gumbert officially goes to work.

2005
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:52,000
Harry Gumbert, the former Baltimore Oriole, throws again to first base.

2006
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:55,000
Here's the situation here in the last of the sixth with one man out.

2007
01:57:55,000 --> 01:58:03,000
Selkirk is at first, and Hogg is at third. The Yankees are riding out in front 5-2-1.

2008
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:10,000
Up there at the plate on the crouch is the very stick. Gumbert delivers inside for ball one.

2009
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:21,000
And that technically, Gumbert, is in the ball game. He's delivered one pitch to Polly Lazare.

2010
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:28,000
After the round, what left? The Yankees lead off first and third.

2011
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:32,000
McCurve floating down in there for call strike one. Lazare looking at it and takes it.

2012
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:36,000
Johnny hit back to Hubble in the second inning and was properly tossed out at first.

2013
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:40,000
And then Hubb struck him out in the fifth.

2014
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:44,000
That was when Hubb wound up his great sequence of 14 straight Yankee victories.

2015
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:47,000
That was the last of that string.

2016
01:58:47,000 --> 01:58:52,000
The Yankees put on a string of their own here in the last of the sixth.

2017
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:55,000
There's a slow ball hit through the center base from the right center field.

2018
01:58:55,000 --> 01:59:00,000
The end from third comes home around the third goes Selkirk.

2019
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:06,000
A change of base was met with a half swing by Tony Lazare who was trying to hit behind the runner.

2020
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:11,000
And he singled through the middle right underneath Burgess Whitehead who was running up on it.

2021
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:16,000
And in comes another run and the Yankees are now plus five leading 6-2-1.

2022
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:22,000
And Gomez, who was burst up in the last of the sixth, is now coming up for a second trip in the last of this inning.

2023
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:28,000
The tenth Yankee to bat and just one man is out.

2024
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:31,000
The swing goes right back through the middle by Lazare.

2025
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:34,000
Which nets in still another Yankee run.

2026
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:39,000
And Gumbutt, who had to come out and pitch to one man, now has taken out and Kaufman comes in.

2027
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:50,000
Kaufman, number 14, now pitching for the Giants.

2028
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:55,000
And now at long last, as the fellow once said,

2029
01:59:55,000 --> 02:00:00,000
Kaufman is in the ball game.

2030
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:06,000
Dick Kaufman comes into the ball game and as he comes in,

2031
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:08,000
the Yankees are ahead 6-1.

2032
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:12,000
Gumbutt pitched to one man, Lazare, who singled and knocked in the Yankees sixth run.

2033
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:17,000
Up now is Gomez, who was first up in the last of the sixth and then drew a walk.

2034
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:24,000
A fateful pass. Gomez hitting left-handed, Dick Kaufman, ball rugged right-handed.

2035
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:28,000
Off first is Lazare, off third, Selkirk.

2036
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:32,000
Gomez says Kaufman is taking a little too much time, so he stepped back out of the box.

2037
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:34,000
On to, of course, Paul's time. The outfield, a little toward left.

2038
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:37,000
Swinging, strike one.

2039
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:46,000
Kaufman came down with a slant, just above the knees on the inside.

2040
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:52,000
Gomez chokes that bat just about an inch, pumps it back and forth.

2041
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:54,000
John Enfield, right up on the base pass.

2042
02:00:54,000 --> 02:01:01,000
Low end side for ball one, right across the shins. One and one.

2043
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:07,000
Fletcher, jumping up and down, back of third. He's very, very elated.

2044
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:10,000
Looks as though he's filled with the elixir of life.

2045
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:13,000
The pitch is low.

2046
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:19,000
And it's ball two. Two and one.

2047
02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:26,000
Six to one, favor of the Yankees.

2048
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:28,000
Six runs in the last of the sixth.

2049
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:32,000
Apparently, that isn't all.

2050
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:37,000
Gomez on the crouch, takes low, and it's ball three. Three and one.

2051
02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:44,000
Kaufman, punishing a big jeweler backer.

2052
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:46,000
That's the point of his jaw out there.

2053
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:49,000
Very belligerently now walks around back of the mound, kicks a little dirt,

2054
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:53,000
pulls the peak of his cap down snugly over his eyes,

2055
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:57,000
splits into the black loam topsoil, the Yankee Stadium.

2056
02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:00,000
Looks toward first, toward third. Now to the left, three, one.

2057
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:01,000
Low for ball four.

2058
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:04,000
Twice Gomez has walked here in the last of the sixth inning,

2059
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:08,000
and this reloads the bases.

2060
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:09,000
Still just one out.

2061
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:12,000
Gomez, twice up here in the last of the sixth,

2062
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:15,000
is both times given an anti-off-base to first base.

2063
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:25,000
This pushes Vasari down to second, and Selkirk down to third.

2064
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:29,000
Selkirk already at third.

2065
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:32,000
Macy's ball, one out.

2066
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:38,000
The matter is, Frank Vasetti, who singles sharply,

2067
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:41,000
once in this sixth already, up for a second time,

2068
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:45,000
takes it way outside, ball one.

2069
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:48,000
A little shortstopper on the Yankees,

2070
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:54,000
choking that walk up, standing right off the plate, easily balanced.

2071
02:02:54,000 --> 02:03:00,000
Macy's just as full as a tenement house in a busy district.

2072
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:04,000
Top and right hands are down, and it's swung on and ball tipped back.

2073
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:07,000
One and one.

2074
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:12,000
Gomez at first, Vasari at second, Selkirk at third.

2075
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:20,000
Mancusel goes out to talk to Kaufman.

2076
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:24,000
Enfield, lazily passing the ball around between themselves.

2077
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:29,000
This has been a severe jolt to the Giants, this last of the sixth inning.

2078
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:32,000
And the Yankees are still the Yankees,

2079
02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:36,000
running absolutely according to form on the dope sheet.

2080
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:39,000
No variations at all.

2081
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:41,000
Kaufman comes down, Casetti swings.

2082
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:43,000
It's a fly ball into short left field.

2083
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:45,000
Up comes Joe Moore on the dead run.

2084
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:48,000
Andritt makes the catch, and the runners are forced to hold where they are.

2085
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:53,000
The throw in is cut off, two-thirds of the way toward the plate by third baseman, Malon.

2086
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:58,000
That's out number two here in the last of the sixth inning.

2087
02:03:58,000 --> 02:04:01,000
Red Ralph, hitting left-handed, steps up.

2088
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:09,000
Two men gone, here in the last of the sixth.

2089
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:21,000
Paces four-oh.

2090
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:24,000
Kaufman drying off the fingers with his right hand.

2091
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:34,000
Ralph goes there, black cap, down snug around his ears, punches that stick back and forth.

2092
02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:37,000
I feel a little toward right, pitches outside, a change of pace.

2093
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:43,000
Ball one.

2094
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:47,000
Ralph, ball set.

2095
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:49,000
Easily balanced.

2096
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:51,000
He has one for three this afternoon.

2097
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:53,000
Takes low inside, ball two.

2098
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:55,000
Here's Kaufman's fast ball.

2099
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:59,000
His sights were not quite high enough.

2100
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:04,000
This vast throng, many, many thousands, here in Yankee Stadium.

2101
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:06,000
Wiley hilarious.

2102
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:12,000
And even a foul ball through the first five and a half innings, has sort of settled back.

2103
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:17,000
Either completely filled to a point of satiation with happiness, or else completely crushed.

2104
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:19,000
Low inside for ball three.

2105
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:22,000
And with the bases loaded, Kaufman is behind two red robs.

2106
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:29,000
He hasn't hit his target once.

2107
02:05:29,000 --> 02:05:36,000
Three and oh.

2108
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:39,000
He misses once more, walks in a run.

2109
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:41,000
There's a strike.

2110
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:43,000
Just throwing the knees on the inside.

2111
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:46,000
Three-one.

2112
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:49,000
Ralph stepping back out of the box, steps in again.

2113
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:53,000
And here's O'Donnell on his crouch, calls for it.

2114
02:05:53,000 --> 02:05:55,000
Run of the lead down very far.

2115
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:57,000
Now they start streaking off.

2116
02:05:57,000 --> 02:05:59,000
Gomez isn't cutting up down at first.

2117
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:01,000
He's conserving his energies.

2118
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:06,000
The pitch outside for ball four on a walk to Ralph with the bases full.

2119
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:12,000
And in comes another Yankee run.

2120
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:14,000
Ralph is cleared with batting in.

2121
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:18,000
That run.

2122
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:24,000
Seven to one in favor of the Yankees.

2123
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:27,000
Six runs to the good.

2124
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:30,000
Selkirk scored on that play.

2125
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:33,000
Sarri moving down to third and Gomez to second.

2126
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:35,000
Up now is Joe DiMaggio, swings.

2127
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:38,000
It's a high-five ball deep out into center field.

2128
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:42,000
Lieber goes back and pulls it down.

2129
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:44,000
Well, that's all for the first six innings.

2130
02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:47,000
And it looks like it might be all for the afternoon.

2131
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:51,000
However, a ball game is never over until the last man is out.

2132
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:54,000
But first, before anything else is said for Warren Brown,

2133
02:06:54,000 --> 02:07:09,000
we pause for station identification.

2134
02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:11,000
Back at the Yankee Stadium.

2135
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:15,000
And this ball game coming to you through the National Broadcasting Company

2136
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:20,000
and its associated stations, I certainly provided a big inning finally.

2137
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:24,000
After we remained around here for upwards of five and a half innings

2138
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:28,000
watching quite a pitching duel between lefty Gomez and Kyle Hubbell,

2139
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:32,000
the Yankees certainly caught up with Hubbell in that last inning

2140
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:36,000
when they secured six runs and seven hits.

2141
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:40,000
Not all of them, of course, fall for Hubbell, for he was gone.

2142
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:44,000
And during the balance of the inning, we had two giant pitchers in there.

2143
02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:48,000
Harry Gumbott, who seemed to come in because of a mistaken identity

2144
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:53,000
on his way from the bullpen, and Dick Kaufman, who finished up for the game.

2145
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:56,000
There were a few bases on balls crowded into that inning

2146
02:07:56,000 --> 02:08:01,000
and certainly one break which went against Hubbell at the time he was in there.

2147
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:05,000
However, full credit must go to the Yankees for the ability

2148
02:08:05,000 --> 02:08:08,000
with which they leaped to the attack once they had an opening.

2149
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:11,000
And it was the first opening in the game that Hubbell had given him.

2150
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:13,000
All right, Reds.

2151
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:17,000
Lefty Gomez is ready now to start the seven, pitching to Jimmy Ripple.

2152
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:21,000
He does strike one call, short breaking curve just above the knees.

2153
02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:24,000
Ripple has one for two this afternoon.

2154
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:28,000
He started off what looked to be the Giants' beginning of the fifth for the Singles.

2155
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:30,000
Takes a little outside, that's one and one.

2156
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:34,000
Gomez has never lost a World Series ball game.

2157
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:40,000
And it looks as though he'll still be able to camp on that record for another few hours.

2158
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:42,000
Seven to one, favor of the Yankees.

2159
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:44,000
Ripple swinging, foul tips it back.

2160
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:46,000
Strike two, one and two.

2161
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:48,000
First giant up from the seventh.

2162
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:50,000
Yankees ahead seven to one.

2163
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:54,000
After Ripple, McCarthy, then Mancuso.

2164
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:56,000
Infield straight away.

2165
02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:58,000
Upper step on the left side.

2166
02:08:58,000 --> 02:08:59,000
Full depth on the right.

2167
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:01,000
Outfield a couple of steps toward right on Jimmy.

2168
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:02,000
Full header.

2169
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:04,000
Swings, there's a five-oh going out into left.

2170
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:06,000
Pull coming up fast.

2171
02:09:06,000 --> 02:09:07,000
Takes it on the run.

2172
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:10,000
It's all for Ripple.

2173
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:13,000
One up, one going to seventh.

2174
02:09:13,000 --> 02:09:15,000
That is McCarthy.

2175
02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:17,000
He has one for two.

2176
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:19,000
His single through Lazare.

2177
02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:21,000
In the fifth inning, to send Ripple around to third base.

2178
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:25,000
Jimmy later coming in on Mancuso's double play ball.

2179
02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:28,000
The only run the Giants have.

2180
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:30,000
McCarthy, a rookie.

2181
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:32,000
Takes strike one call.

2182
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:35,000
This has been his rookie year in the big leagues.

2183
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:38,000
And at the end of his first year in the majors, here he is in the World Series.

2184
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:40,000
He has one for two at the moment, up for his third time.

2185
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:41,000
Swings and misses at a curve.

2186
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:42,000
Strike two.

2187
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:45,000
Missed that one off the end of his bat.

2188
02:09:45,000 --> 02:09:49,000
They're playing McCarthy, just as they did Ripple as far as the offfield is concerned, toward right.

2189
02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:50,000
Left side of the infield the same.

2190
02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:53,000
And Lazare is a step or so more down toward first.

2191
02:09:53,000 --> 02:09:55,000
High inside.

2192
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:56,000
On the chest, the ball runs.

2193
02:09:56,000 --> 02:09:57,000
One and two.

2194
02:09:57,000 --> 02:09:58,000
McCarthy.

2195
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:03,000
Very slender.

2196
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:04,000
Big building, he sets his mitt.

2197
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:06,000
The ball is bounced easily back to the mound.

2198
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:07,000
Gomez traps it.

2199
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:08,000
It goes over to first.

2200
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:11,000
That's all for young John.

2201
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:13,000
Getting back to the box.

2202
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:14,000
Two up, two gone.

2203
02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:16,000
Top of the seven.

2204
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:23,000
Hitter is Gus Mancuso.

2205
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:25,000
Stands back out of that box.

2206
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:27,000
Takes the meat end of his stick.

2207
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:29,000
Tracks the dirt off from his spikes.

2208
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:30,000
Not stepping in.

2209
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:32,000
Slopes over against the catcher.

2210
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:33,000
Fences straight away.

2211
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:35,000
Strike one call.

2212
02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:37,000
A little hook was snapped in just above the knees.

2213
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:38,000
On the inside.

2214
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:41,000
Right hand hitter.

2215
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:42,000
Gomez.

2216
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:44,000
Long gated slender left hander.

2217
02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:45,000
Delivers.

2218
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:46,000
Fast ball inside.

2219
02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:50,000
One and one.

2220
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:53,000
Gomez draws up his knees almost under his chin.

2221
02:10:53,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Clears those arms around his back of him.

2222
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:57,000
Ties himself up into such a knot you wonder how in the world he ever gets out of.

2223
02:10:57,000 --> 02:10:58,000
Delivers.

2224
02:10:58,000 --> 02:10:59,000
Inside.

2225
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:00,000
All two.

2226
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:03,000
Two and one.

2227
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:06,000
Lefty pitching just as he has all the afternoon.

2228
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:08,000
Taking the sign.

2229
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:10,000
And going right to work.

2230
02:11:10,000 --> 02:11:12,000
Takes time out for a blow right now.

2231
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:13,000
Looks into the dirt.

2232
02:11:13,000 --> 02:11:15,000
As though he were reading a letter from home.

2233
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:16,000
Straightens up.

2234
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:18,000
Blows again.

2235
02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:21,000
And this time it's Mancuso who backs away.

2236
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:25,000
Says well, have the blows on me this time.

2237
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:27,000
One step in.

2238
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:28,000
Double swinging stretch.

2239
02:11:28,000 --> 02:11:29,000
Gomez delivers.

2240
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:32,000
Mancuso hits it high out into short center field.

2241
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:35,000
DiMaggio comes running under it and takes it.

2242
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:40,000
And it's nothing across for the Giants in the top of the seventh.

2243
02:11:40,000 --> 02:12:03,000
More observations from Warren.

2244
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:07,000
That was enough to get almost any ball club down for the time being.

2245
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:12,000
Naturally with Gomez being as effective as he has been throughout his American League season.

2246
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:16,000
And throughout this ball game with the exception of the fifth inning.

2247
02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:22,000
It was hardly likely that the Giants were going to cut loose and have any big inning off of him.

2248
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:27,000
Any more than it was that the Yankees were going to have one off of Carl Hubbell.

2249
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:34,000
But that to me is one of the reasons why there are probably more than 60,000 people here looking at this baseball game.

2250
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:37,000
And nobody ever knows what is going to happen in a ball game.

2251
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:44,000
At the very minute that Hubbell walked Gomez, who was a pitcher, no one suspected that he was due for the trouble that happened.

2252
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:49,000
And so Red, looks like they're ready to start again, maybe on Kaufman this time.

2253
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:51,000
Dick Kaufman, ready to pitch to Lou Gehrig.

2254
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:55,000
And that's all Carl, strike one, buzzing it down just above the knees on the outside.

2255
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:58,000
Gehrig has all but two official trips.

2256
02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:01,000
The only time he got all was in the sixth with a deliberate walk.

2257
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:03,000
Later came around to be scored.

2258
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:05,000
Very deep, round toward right.

2259
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:07,000
Columbia Lou, tremendous favorite here, sets.

2260
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:10,000
Expect one inside up against him, tight for ball one.

2261
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:12,000
One and one.

2262
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:18,000
Dick Kaufman, third, the Giants pitches.

2263
02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:21,000
In the ball game and in the sixth inning.

2264
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:24,000
Now working, starting the last of the seven.

2265
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:30,000
Gehrig swinging, it's a sky-high foul up on top of the stands and back of third base.

2266
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:34,000
Gets up at the edge of the upper fashard and drops all the way back.

2267
02:13:34,000 --> 02:13:36,000
Like a bong.

2268
02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:39,000
Now that's one bong, but people weren't dodging.

2269
02:13:39,000 --> 02:13:42,000
They were fighting to get close to it.

2270
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:48,000
Kaufman comes down with a change of pace, just missing outside.

2271
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:51,000
Count levels at two and two.

2272
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:55,000
Gehrig certainly had to lay the engineering eye on that one.

2273
02:13:55,000 --> 02:13:59,000
Dick delivers, missing inside, it's three-two.

2274
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:06,000
Gehrig turns a little bit.

2275
02:14:06,000 --> 02:14:09,000
Forward right field.

2276
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:17,000
Diggs in solidly, standing on those piano legs of his.

2277
02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:20,000
Takes outside for ball four.

2278
02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:24,000
And Gehrig is walked first up in the last of the seven.

2279
02:14:24,000 --> 02:14:27,000
That's walk number three, given up by Kaufman.

2280
02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:30,000
Walk number six, given to the Yankees.

2281
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:36,000
Nobody out, last of the seven.

2282
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:38,000
Gehrig now leading down off first.

2283
02:14:38,000 --> 02:14:42,000
Bill Dickey, who has one hit out of three tries.

2284
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:44,000
Stands waiting.

2285
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:46,000
Getting left-handed.

2286
02:14:46,000 --> 02:14:49,000
Very, very tall and slender for a catcher.

2287
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:51,000
Outfield toward right.

2288
02:14:51,000 --> 02:14:54,000
Dickey pulls.

2289
02:14:54,000 --> 02:14:56,000
Infield pull-up around second.

2290
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:59,000
Bill takes a curve outside, ball one.

2291
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:02,000
Kaufman missing.

2292
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:07,000
Seven-two-one.

2293
02:15:07,000 --> 02:15:09,000
Favor of the Yankees.

2294
02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:11,000
Nobody out, last of the seven.

2295
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:12,000
The man on first.

2296
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:14,000
Low for ball two.

2297
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:17,000
Kaufman's having trouble with his control.

2298
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:21,000
There's no new experience for Kaufman to be pitching against the Yankees.

2299
02:15:21,000 --> 02:15:24,000
Most of his major league career has been in the American League.

2300
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:27,000
Washington, the Browns.

2301
02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:29,000
Being released by the St. Louis Browns.

2302
02:15:29,000 --> 02:15:32,000
Came over to the National League with the Giants.

2303
02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:34,000
Pitches inside.

2304
02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:37,000
There's a throw down to first, not in time by Mancuso.

2305
02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:39,000
And it's three-nothing.

2306
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:41,000
Three-nothing to Bill Dickey.

2307
02:15:41,000 --> 02:15:44,000
Gehrig on first with a pass.

2308
02:15:44,000 --> 02:15:47,000
Dickey set.

2309
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:53,000
Kaufman misses inside with his three-nothing pitch for ball four.

2310
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:55,000
And Dickey trots off to first base.

2311
02:15:55,000 --> 02:15:58,000
And Gehrig moves down to second.

2312
02:16:01,000 --> 02:16:08,000
Of the six Yankees that Kaufman has pitched to, he's walked four up.

2313
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:14,000
Dickey gambles back onto the mound.

2314
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:17,000
Bill Terry standing out in front of the giant dugout.

2315
02:16:17,000 --> 02:16:20,000
Looks down into the dirt for the moment.

2316
02:16:20,000 --> 02:16:26,000
Imagine Bill doesn't feel like joining a choir and singing one of his now famous solos.

2317
02:16:26,000 --> 02:16:31,000
Later up is Merrill Hogue who drops a butt down toward third and it rolls foul.

2318
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:38,000
Strike one. Nobody out. Last to the seventh.

2319
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:41,000
Seven to one in favor of the Yankees.

2320
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:43,000
Gehrig on second, Dickey on first.

2321
02:16:43,000 --> 02:16:49,000
Result of passes by second relief pitcher Dick Kaufman.

2322
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:50,000
Much attention.

2323
02:16:50,000 --> 02:16:55,000
Focused on the relief pitchers in the last of the sixth inning.

2324
02:16:55,000 --> 02:17:01,000
And there was a slip up from the general's ship somewhere.

2325
02:17:01,000 --> 02:17:04,000
Gumbart was announced and he was sitting in on the dugout.

2326
02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:07,000
Hadn't thrown a ball, hadn't even been in the bullpen.

2327
02:17:07,000 --> 02:17:12,000
He had to hurriedly go out and pitch to one Yankee even though Kaufman was announced following him.

2328
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:14,000
Kaufman couldn't come in until Gumbart pitched to one man.

2329
02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:16,000
Now Hogue, the right-hand hitter, takes high outside.

2330
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:18,000
A throw down to second.

2331
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:20,000
Isn't in time and brought down.

2332
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:23,000
On the third base side of second base, Dickey.

2333
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:29,000
On the third base side of second base, leaning for the ball, has Husky Lou Gehrig come right into him.

2334
02:17:29,000 --> 02:17:33,000
Much as an end tries to take out an opposing tackle.

2335
02:17:33,000 --> 02:17:37,000
Gehrig's fighting to get back to the bag and little Bartell in his way.

2336
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:39,000
Well, you can guess the result.

2337
02:17:39,000 --> 02:17:43,000
Gehrig got back to the bag.

2338
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:46,000
One and one.

2339
02:17:46,000 --> 02:17:49,000
Hogue down in his crouch. He has 0 for 3.

2340
02:17:49,000 --> 02:17:54,000
Doesn't joke the bat. Trash the butt and this one is pups bowled back of third.

2341
02:17:54,000 --> 02:18:00,000
So far the Yankees this afternoon have been unable to lay down butts when ordered.

2342
02:18:00,000 --> 02:18:04,000
And then have been hitting with two strikes on the base hits.

2343
02:18:04,000 --> 02:18:07,000
It seems to be a pretty good baseball strategy.

2344
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:10,000
It's working today anyhow.

2345
02:18:10,000 --> 02:18:14,000
Working at a thousand.

2346
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:20,000
Now can Hogue continue the Yankee policy?

2347
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:22,000
One and two.

2348
02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:27,000
Body away. The runners lead off first and second.

2349
02:18:27,000 --> 02:18:29,000
Hoffman, well, is going to go back to second.

2350
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:30,000
Well, he doesn't.

2351
02:18:30,000 --> 02:18:35,000
Gehrig taking a long lead.

2352
02:18:35,000 --> 02:18:36,000
There's a bird ball hit for third.

2353
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:38,000
Ox scoops it up, throws the second one away.

2354
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:40,000
The relay on the first. It's a double play.

2355
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:44,000
Hogue starts moving down to third base.

2356
02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:50,000
And Hogue was unable to continue that Yankee policy so far on the sixth inning.

2357
02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:54,000
Trying to butt falling off two pitches and hitting safely.

2358
02:18:54,000 --> 02:18:57,000
He fouls out his two butt pitches, then hit it to a double play.

2359
02:18:57,000 --> 02:19:00,000
Up to Whitehead, to McCarty.

2360
02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:02,000
Gehrig on the double play, moving down to third.

2361
02:19:02,000 --> 02:19:06,000
Two outs. Left to seven.

2362
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:08,000
Up now is Selkirk.

2363
02:19:08,000 --> 02:19:10,000
Sharp and toward right.

2364
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:12,000
Swing, fouled.

2365
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:14,000
Bent around.

2366
02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:16,000
Black one.

2367
02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:18,000
George has one for three.

2368
02:19:18,000 --> 02:19:20,000
The singles came in the sixth.

2369
02:19:20,000 --> 02:19:24,000
But one of the Yankees hits the game.

2370
02:19:24,000 --> 02:19:29,000
There was a sharpened, wrapped through the hole between first and second out in the right field.

2371
02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:33,000
Outside, all one. One and one.

2372
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:34,000
Two out.

2373
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:36,000
Gehrig on third, 90 feet away.

2374
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:38,000
The Yankees lead seven to one.

2375
02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:41,000
Outfield pulled around toward right.

2376
02:19:41,000 --> 02:19:44,000
Selkirk takes a change of pace. Low.

2377
02:19:44,000 --> 02:19:47,000
Two and one.

2378
02:19:47,000 --> 02:19:49,000
Longsby, working balls and strikes.

2379
02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:51,000
R behind first.

2380
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:52,000
Basil behind second.

2381
02:19:52,000 --> 02:19:55,000
Stewart behind third.

2382
02:19:55,000 --> 02:19:56,000
Kauffman comes in.

2383
02:19:56,000 --> 02:19:58,000
It's an outside pitch which is rolled out to short.

2384
02:19:58,000 --> 02:19:59,000
Wachtell picks it up.

2385
02:19:59,000 --> 02:20:00,000
Goes over to first.

2386
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:02,000
In time.

2387
02:20:02,000 --> 02:20:03,000
McCarty leaning in.

2388
02:20:03,000 --> 02:20:06,000
Makes the stretch and the pick up.

2389
02:20:06,000 --> 02:20:08,000
That's all for the Yankees.

2390
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:11,000
And at the end of seven innings, it is seven to one.

2391
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:12,000
Warren.

2392
02:20:12,000 --> 02:20:16,000
Well, Red, that was interesting to watch how Kauffman

2393
02:20:16,000 --> 02:20:19,000
righted himself after that bad start out there.

2394
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:23,000
Since he got into this ball game, as you pointed out, he certainly was very wild.

2395
02:20:23,000 --> 02:20:26,000
And after he walked the first two men in the innings,

2396
02:20:26,000 --> 02:20:31,000
that seemed to me to be the opportunity for the Yankees to start a lot more trouble there.

2397
02:20:31,000 --> 02:20:36,000
But the play that Ott made to turn that drive-by Hoag into a double play

2398
02:20:36,000 --> 02:20:39,000
helped Kauffman out considerably.

2399
02:20:39,000 --> 02:20:42,000
And I suppose that the Yankees are content with what they have now,

2400
02:20:42,000 --> 02:20:44,000
and I don't know as I blame them.

2401
02:20:44,000 --> 02:20:50,000
Seven runs at this part of the ball game, going into the first half of the eighth inning,

2402
02:20:50,000 --> 02:20:56,000
seem to be a lot of runs, considering the way that Gomez has been going since he started this ball game.

2403
02:20:56,000 --> 02:21:01,000
And the Yankees are the first giant hitter coming up, Red, so back to you.

2404
02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:05,000
The Burgess Whitehead will start it off as you go into the beginning of the eighth,

2405
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:09,000
at the end of seven full innings for the Yankees, seven runs, seven hits, and no errors.

2406
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:13,000
While for the Giants, one run, five hits, and one error.

2407
02:21:13,000 --> 02:21:16,000
Burgess Whitehead.

2408
02:21:16,000 --> 02:21:19,000
So far the only extra base hit.

2409
02:21:19,000 --> 02:21:22,000
Takes strike one, ball, right down in there.

2410
02:21:22,000 --> 02:21:25,000
First pitch of the eighth inning, he doubles.

2411
02:21:25,000 --> 02:21:27,000
He's one for two.

2412
02:21:27,000 --> 02:21:32,000
Swinging to fly ball out into center field, imagine you're waiting lazily under it and have it.

2413
02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:36,000
It's all four Burgess, one up, one away in the eighth.

2414
02:21:36,000 --> 02:21:42,000
And Wally Berger is coming out to bat for Kauffman.

2415
02:21:42,000 --> 02:21:48,000
Big Wally Berger, former big fan of the Boston Club of the National League.

2416
02:21:48,000 --> 02:21:53,000
Well, there's not going to be any slip-up on who's going to pinch hit.

2417
02:21:53,000 --> 02:21:58,000
It's going to be by Osby and the public address announced to me.

2418
02:21:58,000 --> 02:22:02,000
And they tell each other exactly what's coming up.

2419
02:22:02,000 --> 02:22:07,000
Number three, side, four, con.

2420
02:22:07,000 --> 02:22:11,000
The first pitch to Berger is high outside, ball one.

2421
02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:14,000
Wally is the big strapping six-footer, hitting right-handed.

2422
02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:15,000
Gomez delivers.

2423
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:16,000
Berger swings.

2424
02:22:16,000 --> 02:22:18,000
It's a high fly ball, long out in the center.

2425
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:21,000
Imagine you're waiting, waiting, takes it.

2426
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:28,000
It's off to Berger, two up, two away, top of the eighth.

2427
02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:36,000
Jojo Moore, the thin man of the Giants, or the gauze ghost, he's sometimes called.

2428
02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:39,000
Last step's up to hit for his fourth time.

2429
02:22:39,000 --> 02:22:42,000
It means the Giants are starting their fourth batting around.

2430
02:22:42,000 --> 02:22:44,000
Joe's single through the middle in the sixth.

2431
02:22:44,000 --> 02:22:47,000
He has one for three, hitting left-handed, then deep in the box.

2432
02:22:47,000 --> 02:22:51,000
Takes strike one, ball, sharp curve down above the knee.

2433
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:55,000
Moore is feared as one of the most dangerous first-ball hitters in baseball,

2434
02:22:55,000 --> 02:22:57,000
and he has his own one-on-one first pitch this afternoon.

2435
02:22:57,000 --> 02:23:06,000
Takes low inside, ball one, one-on-one.

2436
02:23:06,000 --> 02:23:12,000
Joe pumping that stick.

2437
02:23:12,000 --> 02:23:23,000
It's low outside, Moore's ahead, Gomez behind.

2438
02:23:23,000 --> 02:23:36,000
Gomez comes in there, low for ball three, three and one.

2439
02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:50,000
Pitch, ball, right, two, three-two, outfield toward right.

2440
02:23:50,000 --> 02:23:55,000
Moore swinging, it's a high foul, back of third, rock goes over, but he cannot get it.

2441
02:23:55,000 --> 02:23:57,000
Back into the box.

2442
02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:00,000
Still three-two, two out, nobody on.

2443
02:24:00,000 --> 02:24:06,000
Child have the eighth inning, which is the first of the eight.

2444
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:09,000
The series is being opened, Yankee Stadium, the American League ball park this year.

2445
02:24:09,000 --> 02:24:13,000
The Yankees are home club.

2446
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:18,000
Seven to one.

2447
02:24:18,000 --> 02:24:22,000
The argument of power supremacy.

2448
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:24,000
Seven to one, play for the Yankees.

2449
02:24:24,000 --> 02:24:26,000
Moore swings on another three-two pitch.

2450
02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:30,000
He's got a fly ball into short left field and it drops safely in there for a base hit.

2451
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:36,000
Moore turns to the left first and then holds on, dropping a fly ball single in short left field,

2452
02:24:36,000 --> 02:24:39,000
about 15 feet inside the foul line.

2453
02:24:39,000 --> 02:24:41,000
It's the second straight hit for Moore.

2454
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:44,000
It's the first giant to have more than one blow.

2455
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:53,000
It's hit number six off Gomez, and it's the first hit off Gomez since right hit double with two out in the fifth.

2456
02:24:53,000 --> 02:24:56,000
Two out, Moore leading off first, and the batter is Dick Bartell.

2457
02:24:56,000 --> 02:24:57,000
There's one for three.

2458
02:24:57,000 --> 02:25:00,000
Swings on the first pitch, it's a long line, drive deep in, two left, and it's caught.

2459
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:05,000
Right back up against the stands by a left fielder, home.

2460
02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:07,000
It's all for the top of the eighth.

2461
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:14,000
The Yankees are still a plus six run, one.

2462
02:25:14,000 --> 02:25:17,000
To me, the effective pitcher that he has been right down in the line,

2463
02:25:17,000 --> 02:25:21,000
that base hit that Joe Moore dropped over there in the left field,

2464
02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:25,000
wasn't such a severe one that it would have startled anybody.

2465
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:28,000
And in all events, it came when there were two out,

2466
02:25:28,000 --> 02:25:33,000
which is a good time normally for base hits to come, especially when there are no one on base.

2467
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:37,000
Since his little mishap in the fifth inning,

2468
02:25:37,000 --> 02:25:41,000
Gomez has gone right straight through this ball game and he's pitched,

2469
02:25:41,000 --> 02:25:47,000
I wouldn't say remarkable baseball, but he's pitched the kind of baseball that people have been expecting

2470
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:52,000
because of the fact that Wally Berger was used as a pitch hitter in the game.

2471
02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:58,000
We will have a chance this afternoon to look at four of the giant pitchers.

2472
02:25:58,000 --> 02:26:02,000
And, Red, because we can never be sure who the giant pitchers are

2473
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:06,000
after that practice that was established through the sixth inning,

2474
02:26:06,000 --> 02:26:09,000
I suppose you'd take a look at him out there and decide whether or not he's Smith.

2475
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:12,000
He looks like Smith to me. Do you think he is Smith?

2476
02:26:12,000 --> 02:26:16,000
Well, if he's not Smith, Warren, he's certainly wearing our uniform.

2477
02:26:16,000 --> 02:26:18,000
It looks just like him.

2478
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:23,000
Al Smith, turned out of a little left-handed third ball arter.

2479
02:26:23,000 --> 02:26:27,000
And the fourth giant pitcher, going against the Yankees,

2480
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:31,000
here in the first game of the 1937 World Series.

2481
02:26:31,000 --> 02:26:33,000
Smith has just taken his place there on the mound.

2482
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:36,000
This is going down to just Mancuso.

2483
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:42,000
In the season of 36, Smith was just about the tops for the giant relievers.

2484
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:47,000
At one time, Bill Terry said that he was just about the best elite pitcher that he ever saw,

2485
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:49,000
especially coming in there with a curve ball.

2486
02:26:49,000 --> 02:26:52,000
However, this year, Al has not been tremendously effective.

2487
02:26:52,000 --> 02:26:58,000
And the relief burden among the giants has had to be shifted around from man to man.

2488
02:26:58,000 --> 02:27:01,000
However, it's a well-known fact that when the giant wants a real relief pitching,

2489
02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:05,000
Popple has usually been the fellow to go out there and make one run stand up.

2490
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:12,000
The first Yankee up in the last of the eighth inning is Tony Lazari.

2491
02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:16,000
Lots of people are now beginning to leave.

2492
02:27:16,000 --> 02:27:18,000
They're going to the last of the eighth inning.

2493
02:27:18,000 --> 02:27:22,000
Lazari hitting right-handed, swings on an inside pitch, missing four, strike one.

2494
02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:27,000
A steady stream of people trying to beat the mob,

2495
02:27:27,000 --> 02:27:30,000
which will be pouring out of Yankee Stadium, six more outs.

2496
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:32,000
Now leaving already.

2497
02:27:32,000 --> 02:27:36,000
Lazari takes low inside, one and one.

2498
02:27:36,000 --> 02:27:40,000
Al Smith coming on for the last of the eighth.

2499
02:27:40,000 --> 02:27:46,000
And it's the New York Yankees, several runs for the New York Giants, one, seven to one.

2500
02:27:46,000 --> 02:27:51,000
Smith comes down, high, two, two and one.

2501
02:27:51,000 --> 02:27:58,000
Al's very stocky, throws sort of side off, doesn't wind up.

2502
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:02,000
Outfield is toward left on Lazari.

2503
02:28:02,000 --> 02:28:06,000
Tony takes up against him for ball three.

2504
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:08,000
Three-one.

2505
02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:17,000
Smith taking the return from Mancuso, back slowly back to the mound.

2506
02:28:17,000 --> 02:28:18,000
Al comes down.

2507
02:28:18,000 --> 02:28:21,000
It's in there, swung on and hit deep and far back into left.

2508
02:28:21,000 --> 02:28:45,000
And it's a home run for Lazari.

2509
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:52,000
A fat pitch, as the boys say, that three-one came down in there and did Lazari go after it and get fat on it.

2510
02:28:52,000 --> 02:28:56,000
The first home run of the 1937 World Series.

2511
02:28:56,000 --> 02:29:03,000
It's high, far into the lower spectators, deep behind left field.

2512
02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:06,000
And well up among them, no question about that.

2513
02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:08,000
And now it's eight to one.

2514
02:29:08,000 --> 02:29:09,000
Gomez is up.

2515
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:11,000
Swings and misses, strike one.

2516
02:29:11,000 --> 02:29:18,000
About the one thing left to make Gomez's couple joy overflow is to get a base hit.

2517
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:21,000
He, like any other pitcher, dearly loves him.

2518
02:29:21,000 --> 02:29:24,000
Gets back from one up against him, one and one.

2519
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:33,000
Lazari, really pickled one for keeps just a moment ago.

2520
02:29:33,000 --> 02:29:36,000
Smith comes down with a curve in there, ball strike two.

2521
02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:41,000
That one drove Gomez, left hand hit a backer step and then broke away from him and down over Cleveland.

2522
02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:46,000
One ball, two strikes, nobody out.

2523
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:50,000
Gomez falls away from the pitch, pulls it deep into right field and ripples.

2524
02:29:50,000 --> 02:30:02,000
This judge against Ben goes back to make a spectacular catch.

2525
02:30:02,000 --> 02:30:05,000
Gomez set to hit that pitch.

2526
02:30:05,000 --> 02:30:09,000
Fell into it and got his whole weight behind it and drove it deep out into right.

2527
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:11,000
Ripple came in, misjudged it at first.

2528
02:30:11,000 --> 02:30:15,000
Then saw the ball was going to carry a ball over his head, started running back.

2529
02:30:15,000 --> 02:30:22,000
One foot slipped underneath him, but still he managed to get strength from somewhere and lead time to the end to make a spectacular one handed catch and save himself.

2530
02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:25,000
Frank Crissetti hits the first pitch of line drive right through Bellano.

2531
02:30:25,000 --> 02:30:28,000
And that's two away in the last of the eighth inning.

2532
02:30:28,000 --> 02:30:31,000
Warren's going to tell you more about Ripple's catch.

2533
02:30:31,000 --> 02:30:36,000
I can see him sort of licking his chops in preparation for that.

2534
02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:39,000
Line drive, hit backer's headed to Mel after the second out.

2535
02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:43,000
Now it's two away, last of the eighth inning, nobody on and Red Rock up.

2536
02:30:43,000 --> 02:30:45,000
He has one, four, three official tries.

2537
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:48,000
Hitting left handed he tries to bunt and foul tips it.

2538
02:30:48,000 --> 02:30:50,000
Frank one.

2539
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:52,000
Left hand batter, left hand pitcher, Al Smith.

2540
02:30:52,000 --> 02:31:00,000
The fourth giant hurler in this ball game since the sixth inning.

2541
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:03,000
Eight to one, favor of the Yankees.

2542
02:31:03,000 --> 02:31:06,000
That feels straight away.

2543
02:31:06,000 --> 02:31:08,000
Roth doesn't go after it, but it's good.

2544
02:31:08,000 --> 02:31:10,000
Hall strike two.

2545
02:31:10,000 --> 02:31:15,000
Smith burnt that one through his fastball.

2546
02:31:15,000 --> 02:31:18,000
Ripple put a deep out and right.

2547
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:21,000
Roth down on his crouch, leads back from one inside.

2548
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:26,000
One, one and two.

2549
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:31,000
Roth up there hitting, DiMaggio leaning down on his right knee on deck.

2550
02:31:31,000 --> 02:31:33,000
Rob cocks that stick back in his left ear, swings.

2551
02:31:33,000 --> 02:31:35,000
It's a high fly ball out of the left field, Joe Moore.

2552
02:31:35,000 --> 02:31:38,000
Goes back one step, now comes in one and has it.

2553
02:31:38,000 --> 02:31:43,000
That's all for the last of the eighth.

2554
02:31:43,000 --> 02:31:44,000
Warren?

2555
02:31:44,000 --> 02:31:52,000
Red, I noticed that you suggested that I was going to talk something about that catch that Ripple made in this inning.

2556
02:31:52,000 --> 02:31:59,000
First, I want to say that this inning stirred memories in me rather than excited me about what happened here.

2557
02:31:59,000 --> 02:32:05,000
When Tony Lozare got his home run this afternoon, the first one of the 1937 World Series,

2558
02:32:05,000 --> 02:32:09,000
I was thinking about one that he made last year, which came with three men on bases.

2559
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:15,000
That was truly a sensational one since that doesn't happen very often in World Series fifths.

2560
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:19,000
When Ripple started after that ball out there, believe it or not, Red,

2561
02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:28,000
I was thinking of a catch he made in Chicago not long ago with three men on bases at a time when some of us thought that the pen and play between the Giants and the Cubs.

2562
02:32:28,000 --> 02:32:34,000
And if he hadn't made that catch for those three men on bases, well, maybe there would have been a little different in here.

2563
02:32:34,000 --> 02:32:40,000
I think that's the way everybody accepted it so that when Ripple went up in the air and caught Gomez long drive,

2564
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:47,000
much as I hated to see Gomez lose in his life's ambition to make a base hit, I couldn't help think of that catch in Chicago.

2565
02:32:47,000 --> 02:32:49,000
So now back to you, Red.

2566
02:32:49,000 --> 02:32:51,000
Melott takes the first pitch of the ninth inning.

2567
02:32:51,000 --> 02:32:58,000
Paul strike one. Gomez looking just as strong and fresh as when he started.

2568
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:01,000
Comes right back in. Hot swings and misses.

2569
02:33:01,000 --> 02:33:03,000
Last one burnt down around the knees. Strike two.

2570
02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:09,000
Gomez gives his foul to the little yank. Straightens that.

2571
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:11,000
Knees and elbows to Kim Boy comes out of it.

2572
02:33:11,000 --> 02:33:13,000
Strike three swinging and on three pitches.

2573
02:33:13,000 --> 02:33:17,000
Master Melvin is struck out to start the ninth inning.

2574
02:33:17,000 --> 02:33:21,000
That's the second strikeout for Gomez.

2575
02:33:21,000 --> 02:33:24,000
He got his first strikeout at the expense of Hank Leaver.

2576
02:33:24,000 --> 02:33:27,000
With a third out in the first inning.

2577
02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:30,000
And here is Hank up again.

2578
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:32,000
Hank has 0 for 3.

2579
02:33:32,000 --> 02:33:35,000
The Yankees had 8 to 1. One out, nobody on top of the ninth.

2580
02:33:35,000 --> 02:33:39,000
John's batting. Leaver takes. Go outside. Ball one.

2581
02:33:39,000 --> 02:33:46,000
Gomez still shining brightly underneath that record of his of having never been beaten in World Series competition.

2582
02:33:46,000 --> 02:33:49,000
Inside and it's ball two.

2583
02:33:49,000 --> 02:33:51,000
Two-nothing.

2584
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:54,000
Now the field is very deep on Hank.

2585
02:33:54,000 --> 02:33:57,000
He gets a hold of it. He'll give it a ride.

2586
02:33:57,000 --> 02:33:59,000
Pitch right in.

2587
02:33:59,000 --> 02:34:02,000
That one is taken. Two and one.

2588
02:34:02,000 --> 02:34:07,000
A steady stream of people going out of every possible exit here at Yankee Stadium.

2589
02:34:07,000 --> 02:34:11,000
They figured some time ago the outcome of the game was decided.

2590
02:34:11,000 --> 02:34:14,000
Leaver swings. That's a fly ball out of the center.

2591
02:34:14,000 --> 02:34:18,000
DiMaggio coming in, makes the catch on his chest.

2592
02:34:22,000 --> 02:34:24,000
Two away. Top of the ninth.

2593
02:34:24,000 --> 02:34:27,000
Up steps Jimmy Repple.

2594
02:34:27,000 --> 02:34:37,000
Who found Major League Baseball was much more lucrative and pleasant than being an ambidextrous paper hanger.

2595
02:34:37,000 --> 02:34:39,000
Outfield toward right.

2596
02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:42,000
Repple hitting left-handed, takes inside against him. Ball one.

2597
02:34:42,000 --> 02:34:45,000
Jimmy looking very calm and cool.

2598
02:34:45,000 --> 02:34:49,000
To say that he is a left-handed hitter is only half the truth.

2599
02:34:49,000 --> 02:34:53,000
The pitch. All strike one.

2600
02:34:53,000 --> 02:34:56,000
When Repple came to the Giants, he hit from either side of the plate.

2601
02:34:56,000 --> 02:35:02,000
Terry insisted that he hit as a left-handed swinger.

2602
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:06,000
Low outside. One and two.

2603
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:13,000
Counts lightly. Jimmy's favor.

2604
02:35:13,000 --> 02:35:15,000
Two out. Top of the ninth.

2605
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:17,000
Nobody on.

2606
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:22,000
The Yankees seven runs for the good. Leading eight to one.

2607
02:35:22,000 --> 02:35:24,000
Two balls and one strike.

2608
02:35:24,000 --> 02:35:29,000
Gomez delivers. Low outside and it's three and one.

2609
02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:32,000
Repple looking very coolly.

2610
02:35:32,000 --> 02:35:37,000
There's one for three this afternoon. Single first up in the fifth inning.

2611
02:35:37,000 --> 02:35:39,000
Ball four.

2612
02:35:39,000 --> 02:35:41,000
Walsh going down to first base.

2613
02:35:41,000 --> 02:35:48,000
And that's the first base on balls given up by Lefty Gomez this afternoon.

2614
02:35:48,000 --> 02:35:52,000
Seven of the Yankees received gratuitous.

2615
02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:54,000
Repple on first. Two out.

2616
02:35:54,000 --> 02:35:57,000
Batter is young Jack McCarthy.

2617
02:35:57,000 --> 02:35:59,000
John, if you don't know him very closely.

2618
02:35:59,000 --> 02:36:02,000
Swings and misses. Strike one.

2619
02:36:02,000 --> 02:36:04,000
That one right down in there.

2620
02:36:04,000 --> 02:36:08,000
McCarthy slender. Young first baseman.

2621
02:36:08,000 --> 02:36:12,000
He's finishing his first year in the majors by participation in the World Series.

2622
02:36:12,000 --> 02:36:15,000
Swings. Foul tips. That one back for strike two.

2623
02:36:15,000 --> 02:36:18,000
Gomez has promptly gone ahead of him with his first two pitches.

2624
02:36:18,000 --> 02:36:23,000
Nothing in two to McCarthy.

2625
02:36:23,000 --> 02:36:28,000
Vicki down in his crouch.

2626
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:30,000
First baseman Gehrig back in his fielding post.

2627
02:36:30,000 --> 02:36:32,000
Repple's allowed to lead his ball up first. He wants to.

2628
02:36:32,000 --> 02:36:35,000
High outside. Ball one.

2629
02:36:35,000 --> 02:36:37,000
One and two to McCarthy.

2630
02:36:37,000 --> 02:36:40,000
Gomez at the moment seems to be just slightly tired.

2631
02:36:40,000 --> 02:36:46,000
He gives you the impression that he is trying to put a little bit more on the ball than he has any other time.

2632
02:36:46,000 --> 02:36:55,000
The pitch is high. Two and two.

2633
02:36:55,000 --> 02:36:58,000
Two to. Two out.

2634
02:36:58,000 --> 02:37:00,000
Half of the nine.

2635
02:37:00,000 --> 02:37:02,000
McCarthy waiting.

2636
02:37:02,000 --> 02:37:05,000
Vicki calls for the pitch.

2637
02:37:05,000 --> 02:37:09,000
McCarthy swinging. Foul tips it right back onto the screen.

2638
02:37:09,000 --> 02:37:13,000
Count still hangs at two and two.

2639
02:37:13,000 --> 02:37:16,000
Field forward toward right.

2640
02:37:16,000 --> 02:37:18,000
Things are quiet right now.

2641
02:37:18,000 --> 02:37:23,000
About the only hubbub from the spectators are those who are moving trying to get out of the park.

2642
02:37:23,000 --> 02:37:26,000
Pitch misses outside by a half of all three.

2643
02:37:26,000 --> 02:37:29,000
And it's three and two to Jack McCarthy.

2644
02:37:29,000 --> 02:37:34,000
And now the run and hit is on for Ripple at first base.

2645
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:36,000
He'll be breaking on Gomez's arm. He does.

2646
02:37:36,000 --> 02:37:38,000
Pitch is in. Rolls slowly down toward first.

2647
02:37:38,000 --> 02:37:42,000
Gehrig comes in to field and picks it up and tags McCarthy out on his.

2648
02:37:42,000 --> 02:37:44,000
Jack comes running into first base.

2649
02:37:44,000 --> 02:37:46,000
Gehrig with a big grin on his face.

2650
02:37:46,000 --> 02:37:48,000
Stops that baseball in his hip pocket.

2651
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:50,000
Grabs Gomez by the hand.

2652
02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:57,000
The two of them shake hands and are the first players off the field as they dash into the Yankee dugout and disappear from sight.

2653
02:37:57,000 --> 02:37:59,000
And the Yankees win.

2654
02:37:59,000 --> 02:38:01,000
Would you say convincingly?

2655
02:38:01,000 --> 02:38:03,000
Well I don't know of a better word.

2656
02:38:03,000 --> 02:38:06,000
And to speak a convincing truth.

2657
02:38:06,000 --> 02:38:11,000
It's been a great deal of pleasure for this old redhead to be up here talking to you the last four innings.

2658
02:38:11,000 --> 02:38:21,000
And now this is Red Barber handing you over to the very capable hands of Warren Brown who is going to put you just right on how everything happened this afternoon and plenty of it did.

2659
02:38:21,000 --> 02:38:22,000
Warren.

2660
02:38:22,000 --> 02:38:23,000
Well thank you Red.

2661
02:38:23,000 --> 02:38:28,000
And summing up this ball game the first of the 1937 World Series.

2662
02:38:28,000 --> 02:38:31,000
It was after all strictly a matter of pitchers.

2663
02:38:31,000 --> 02:38:37,000
It started out that way between lefty Gomez the best pitcher I suppose.

2664
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:44,000
In the American League and Carl Hubble who was certainly the superior left hander in the National League.

2665
02:38:44,000 --> 02:38:48,000
Right up until the sixth inning it was a ball game between these two.

2666
02:38:48,000 --> 02:38:53,000
And if anything Hubble seemed to be the more effective of the two.

2667
02:38:53,000 --> 02:39:02,000
In the fifth inning the New York Giants had crowded Gomez sufficiently to score one run which looked like a lot of runs.

2668
02:39:02,000 --> 02:39:21,000
And in that inning manager Joe McCarty of the Yankees who has steered them to a couple of pennants in a row and won World's Championship had to make up his mind whether he wanted to pull his infield back and play for a double play and stake the Yankees to the Giants I should say to one run and take his chance on what would follow.

2669
02:39:21,000 --> 02:39:22,000
That's what he did.

2670
02:39:22,000 --> 02:39:27,000
Pull his infield back and Gus Mancuso hit into a double play.

2671
02:39:27,000 --> 02:39:34,000
And out of that the Yankees were able to escape with only having the one run scored against them which came in on the double play.

2672
02:39:34,000 --> 02:39:40,000
And that was the one big inning or the start of one big inning that the Giants were able to have off Gomez all afternoon.

2673
02:39:40,000 --> 02:39:51,000
On the other side of the field Hubble after walking one man and allowing a hit in the first inning was unhittable right on through to the sixth inning.

2674
02:39:51,000 --> 02:40:03,000
And then he did a thing which baseball folk always think since there is a lot of superstition in baseball they always think that if you walk the first man and especially if you walk the pitcher there is going to be trouble.

2675
02:40:03,000 --> 02:40:18,000
I don't think that any of the more than 60,000 people in this Yankee Stadium this afternoon suspected that when lefty Gomez got his base on balls to open the sixth inning that there was going to be quite as much trouble as there was until the last man was retired.

2676
02:40:18,000 --> 02:40:34,000
Before the last man was retired in that inning the Yankees had driven Hubble out of the box and because of a mistake in announcement Harry Gumbart was in there in time to pitch to one man who got a base hit off him and Dick Kaufman finally got the inning over.

2677
02:40:34,000 --> 02:40:39,000
Before he did there were seven runs scored and six hits and that was the ball game.

2678
02:40:39,000 --> 02:40:53,000
Later on in the game in the eighth inning with the fourth giant pitcher in action Al Smith, Tony Lazzari batted out the only home run and incidentally the only Yankee extra base hit of the ball game.

2679
02:40:53,000 --> 02:40:59,000
That made the score eight for the Yankees at which they rested on their laurels in this first game.

2680
02:40:59,000 --> 02:41:17,000
And looking over my score book here I find that the Yankees have eight runs and eight hits which seems to me to be a very effective way of doing business. Going into the game tomorrow which will also be played at the Yankee Stadium the second game of the series I don't imagine either manager will change from his plans.

2681
02:41:17,000 --> 02:41:32,000
Before the game today Bill Terry told me that he intended to come in with Cliff Melton and I imagine he will come in with him. Melton being the young left hander who has won his 20 games in his first full year up here in the major leagues.

2682
02:41:32,000 --> 02:41:38,000
Joe McCarty of the Yankees said that he intended to pitch red roughing tomorrow and Joe was inclined to go a little further.

2683
02:41:38,000 --> 02:41:52,000
When he talked to me Joe was an old friend of mine and he spoke his mind out to me down there and the Yankee dug out before the game. He said that he didn't think that he would go away from a platform that he established rather effectively last year.

2684
02:41:52,000 --> 02:42:10,000
He said that it would be Gomez today roughing tomorrow and after that Monty Pearson and Bump Hadley and unless the Giants pull themselves together and tear after Melton I imagine that's the way the Yankees will go through with the same four pitchers that they used in the World Series last year.

2685
02:42:10,000 --> 02:42:34,000
The game today was certainly an interesting one. There was a lot of spectacular feeling on both sides and while there wasn't the tremendous burst of hitting that we've been led to expect from these two clubs and particularly from the Yankees who have capitalized on their power to win an American League pennant off by themselves, nevertheless they did mass together and put across one big inning.

2686
02:42:34,000 --> 02:42:39,000
Alright George Hicks, I'll say goodbye now and it's yours.

2687
02:42:39,000 --> 02:42:55,000
Well all I can say is that the game is over and that historical first marker is down. The tips are down and the Yanks are up. And the crowd is now pouring out. By the time the game was well underway by the second inning practically every seat in the Yankee Stadium was filled.

2688
02:42:55,000 --> 02:43:12,000
There must have been close to the 60,000 mark and over. The new additions you know seat 71,000 at Yankee Stadium now. And so we've had the first game right now as we look down from our tier, the third tier right at the edge over home plate.

2689
02:43:12,000 --> 02:43:27,000
The diamond itself and the green outfield is simply dotted and spotted all over and the exits crowded with these thousands of spectators who are taking home their memories of the first game of the 1937 World Series.

2690
02:43:27,000 --> 02:43:46,000
As I looked at it, very much of a spectator this afternoon, the walk of Gomez in the sixth and that slashing single to center by DiMaggio with the bases loaded for the first runs, well I think that broke Hubbell's heart and the giant spirit for the game today.

2691
02:43:46,000 --> 02:44:01,000
And by the way the only homer today was Lazari, the first man up in the eighth. He pulled a terrifically long and high homer into the left field grandstand. It must have gone at least 400 feet and nobody on but that was the homer of the day.

2692
02:44:01,000 --> 02:44:17,000
And so I guess that's about all we can say. This has been brought to you by the NBC and its associated stations from coast to coast. We'll be back on the air tomorrow of course with the second game from the same position at Yankee Stadium.

2693
02:44:17,000 --> 02:44:31,000
As you know the first two games are played at the stadium and then the third, fourth and if there is a fifth at Polo Grounds and the sixth and seventh at the Yankee Stadium if necessary. We'll be back on the air tomorrow at our regular time, 1.15 Eastern Standard Time.

2694
02:44:31,000 --> 02:44:47,000
12.15 Central, 11.15 Mountain, 10.15 Pacific Standard Time. Your announcers will be Tom Manning of Cleveland, Red Barber of Cincinnati and Warren Brown, sports editor of the Chicago Herald Examiner. And so, well that's all.

2695
02:44:47,000 --> 02:44:57,000
Till tomorrow, George Hicks announcing this program is brought to you through the National Broadcasting Company.
