2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Audio recordings of the radio broadcasts of games 2, 3, and 4 of the 1937 World Series are not known to exist.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
During those games, the Yankees won games 2 and 3 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
After scoring just three runs in the first three games combined, the Giants avoided the sweep by winning game 4.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:34,000
On October 10, 1937, the New York Yankees faced the New York Giants at the Polo grounds for game 5 of the 1937 World Series.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
The Yankees led the best of 7 series three games to one, and this is the NBC radio broadcast of game 5,

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
featuring announcers Tom Manning, Red Barber, Warren Brown, and George Hicks.

8
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:56,000
We wish to thank H. Sendrick and Co. for kindly relinquishing half their broadcast period in order that you may hear a description of the World Series game.

9
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Charles Wood speaking, smoke dreams originating in the studios of the Nation Station,

10
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
came to you through the facilities of the Red Network of the National Broadcasting Company.

11
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:20,000
This is station WMAQ Chicago. In 10 seconds it will be 12.45 Central Standard Time, and now for the World Series baseball game.

12
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
We take you now to the Polo grounds.

13
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is George Hicks of the NBC, speaking now from the Polo grounds in New York City.

14
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:38,000
We're about to witness the beginning of the fifth game of the World Series between the New York Yankees and the New York Giants,

15
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
where the series is now standing three games to one in the Yankees' favor,

16
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,000
and a victory today for the Yankees, a clinching of the pennant and the championship by winning the first four out of seven.

17
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:58,000
The biggest news this morning that we have is that the weather is wet and chilly, but it's not going to rain this afternoon, and the game is going on.

18
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,000
The laughter you just heard a moment ago was for Shaq, who's down on third base now with his baseball uniform on today.

19
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000
No swimming suit today, it's too cold, but still with his tailcoat with the red lapels and his silk hat.

20
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And he's warming up with the remnant of the Yankee infield, the regular infield has come in now,

21
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
and Coach Fletcher is driving balls down at Shaq at third,

22
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:31,000
and Glenn the catcher and Shaq engage in a little hot hand as they get closer and closer to each other on the third base line.

23
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
But to get back to the game, the weather, well, last night in New York it started raining, and it rained most of the night.

24
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,000
It was raining this morning, and that steady light, but consistent way it has in late fall.

25
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000
And up till noon, we were still having rain and a heavy overcast sky and the wind coming in from the north,

26
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
and it looked like a pretty bad day for football, let alone for a World Series game.

27
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:05,000
But Judge Landis came up with a plan, and it wasn't until 12.30 that he made his decision and decided to have the game played.

28
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:12,000
And it's for the benefit of course of the fans who had planned to see big league ball and World Series ball this Sunday.

29
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:21,000
I'm very happy to say that although the crowd has been hailed off by the late decision of whether the game would be played or not,

30
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:30,000
the grandstands are now almost half full, the bleachers are loyal of course and packed solid and have been even in the rain,

31
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,000
and the sky has cleared up enough so that we feel confident there won't be rain during the game this afternoon.

32
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Now we've got Al Shack out in the pitchers box now, and he and Glenn the Yankee catcher are trying to decide where to put the ball.

33
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000
And he Shack threw it and it came up here on the second tier, behind home plate, where we're speaking.

34
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Again, this fifth game is being played at the Polo grounds on the Manhattan side of the Harlem River,

35
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:07,000
and we can see the huge bulk of the Yankee Stadium moving up across the canal on the other side in the Bronx,

36
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
where we move to tomorrow if the Giants win this game today and it goes to three and two.

37
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And again the New York Giants here at the Polo grounds are the home team, again they're dressed in their white uniforms,

38
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
and they will field first and of course will bat last as the innings go on.

39
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,000
We all know the Giants won their first game of the series yesterday by a score of seven to three,

40
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:37,000
with Hubble pitching after they'd lost the first three games, and their cause up to then seemed almost hopeless.

41
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:45,000
We couldn't help but notice that the team has looked a great deal peppier in batting and fielding practice this morning.

42
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Old Luke was out there batting them around to the infield, the boys were on their toes,

43
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
they just pulled the top hole in off about 15 minutes ago, the infield looks very good,

44
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
the attendants are now working on it but they still can't get shacked out of the pitcher's box.

45
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:08,000
But I think the feeling among the many fans and the hot stove experts that we find at every office or factory or farm,

46
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,000
undoubtedly is as we start the fifth game today, that even with yesterday's win,

47
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:20,000
the odds are terrifically heavy against the Giants, especially with the Yanks as their opponents.

48
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
And if they should and could pull this series out of the fire now,

49
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:30,000
won their three down, well it would be the most amazing comeback in World Series history.

50
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:39,000
The attendant finally got shacked off the pitcher's box, but no, he's going back now, he's going to argue the point.

51
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000
He's pushing aside the attendant's toes and he's going to pitch but the catcher has now left home plate.

52
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
We see two southpaws warming up just one to each side of home plate,

53
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:02,000
a long, lanky southern boy from Tennessee with a big blue 16 on his back, he stands six feet four inches,

54
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:12,000
he has somewhat prominent hearing appendages, they call him ears, his name is Cliff Melts or Mountain Music,

55
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
the freshman star of the Giants who is slated to start pitching this fifth game.

56
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,000
And on the other side of the plate, warming up and watching shacked over one shoulder to be sure he doesn't get into any trouble,

57
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:34,000
is a smaller built lad, also a southpaw, shooting his ball in very easy now to the catcher with a big 11 on the back of his gray uniform,

58
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Lefty Gomez, who pitched the first game of the World Series, who's never lost a game in the World Series,

59
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,000
who won against Hubble eight to one in the first game of this 1937 series.

60
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:53,000
NBC's microphone is again in their box directly behind home plate at the edge of the second tier.

61
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Looking out through the mesh screen, and with us are those two redheads who flash you the play inning by inning,

62
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Tom Manning of Cleveland, veteran baseball describer, and that soft-drawing Florida and Cincinnati lad, Red Barber of station WLW.

63
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Shacked is getting a nice hand now for his endeavors, and he's got the attendance of just this moment's clean home plate,

64
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
nice and white, and Shacked comes with his spike and covers it all up again.

65
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:32,000
And with our two redheads is the imperturbable, impartial, Phi Beta Kappa scholar of baseball, Warren Brown,

66
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:40,000
sports editor of the Chicago Herald Examiner, who comes in between the innings to translate the action he's seen into the baseball meaning that he knows.

67
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Well now the diamond's empty, except for the two pitchers warming up.

68
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:51,000
We'll hear the national anthem in a few moments, and then the teams will cut out on the field, and we'll hear the roar that starts the fifth game.

69
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Before that takes place, I'd like to turn you to Warren Brown, who, to give us the lineup, then he changes,

70
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
anything that he's found out, digging around the clubhouse and the dugouts this morning.

71
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
But first, Warren, we've been through four games up to now.

72
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,000
What deductions could you make concerning the four games that we've seen played so far?

73
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Well, George, I want to thank you first for all those titles that you've given me.

74
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,000
It seems as though each day that I come up here, you promote me a little bit higher.

75
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Now getting back to your question about the deductions, the one outstanding characteristic of the World Series of 1937 to date

76
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:38,000
has been the diversity of the playing conditions, weather and track conditions, if I might use that expression.

77
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:47,000
The first game across the Harlem River at the Yankee Stadium was played under a rather excessively hot circumstances.

78
00:08:47,000 --> 00:09:00,000
It was very muggy, sultry, and there was plenty of perspiration out on the brows of the players and on the gentleman of the radio and the press in back of us, no doubt.

79
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Then we ran through a couple of cold days and today, as George Hicks has told you, there was even a reasonable doubt about the possibility of a game at all

80
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,000
until Judge Landis came out here a little afternoon and decided that the game must go on.

81
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:25,000
From the point of view of the New York Yankees, the delay or the playing of the game did not make a great deal of difference

82
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:34,000
since their pitcher Vernon Gomez, who has not started since the first game of the series, had sufficient rest for all practical purposes.

83
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:41,000
On the other hand, the New York Giants, I have no doubt, wouldn't have welcomed the postponers

84
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:47,000
because the postponing of the game today would have given their pitcher, Cliff Melton, an additional day's rest

85
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:53,000
and we all remember that Melton has already appeared twice in the World Series

86
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,000
in a comparatively few days.

87
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Looking back at the four games that have been played, it is rather interesting to note that going into this game, the fifth this afternoon,

88
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:14,000
the New York Yankees, who were characterized going into the series as a very powerful team with more than a suspicion of good pitching,

89
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,000
have also appeared in the guise of fielding marbles.

90
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Up until the present time, the Yankees have not made an error in the series.

91
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
That is rather a remarkable situation.

92
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:35,000
The Giants, on the other hand, who built their reputation in their National League race on pitching and team spirit and a sturdy defense,

93
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:43,000
have made, well, not many errors, although they did have a wholesale production in two innings of two different games

94
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000
in which they made three errors in an inning on two occasions of the nine that are now charged against them.

95
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Consequently, that has been a little bit of a surprise.

96
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,000
There has been a little surprise too, I think, considering the fact that the Polar Grounds, where the game is being played today,

97
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,000
and the Yankee Stadium, which is the home of the American League champions, have both been productive through the regular season

98
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
and a great many home runs.

99
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,000
So far, we have seen but two home runs and the Yankees have had both of them.

100
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:19,000
It just happened that neither one of the home runs, Tony Mazzari in the first game and Luke Erick Homer yesterday,

101
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000
have made any material difference in the ball game.

102
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
There have been no heroic home runs, in other words.

103
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Nothing to win the game or nothing to bring the crowd scoring to its feet.

104
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Out in the direct center field, the Al Shack is leading a tearing section of the bleachers, much after the manner of a football crowd.

105
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
And truly, this is ideal weather for a football.

106
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:54,000
And it's quite a commentary on Shack's quick width, as he realized that and went out there in the deep center field to lead the bleachers into a chair.

107
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,000
I think he's getting ready now to get them started again, so let's listen to him.

108
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Now that I should say is rather handily done.

109
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:18,000
And while I dare say that the undergraduates in the center field bleacher section of the polo grounds,

110
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,000
it's difficult competing with this cheering, but we must go on, the show must go on.

111
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,000
I think the Shack, at such a time as he completes his splendid career as a baseball comedian,

112
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:38,000
can certainly wind up at Yale or California or Stanford or Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Illinois,

113
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:43,000
anyplace Duke that you may think of and take up the life's work as a cheerleader.

114
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:50,000
I don't know of any college cheering section that was able to make so much noise and make the noise in unison

115
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000
with so little rehearsing as this crowd in the center field bleachers at the polo grounds.

116
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
That, I believe, is a tribute to the directing genius, Al Shack.

117
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Now getting back to our baseball, we have heard and undoubtedly you have read in the last several days

118
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,000
about the laxity of hitting on the part of the Giants.

119
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
I was just looking here at a composite box score of the four games,

120
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:21,000
and I noticed curiously enough that there are only four different in the hits at the present time.

121
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,000
The Yankees have made 34 hits and the Giants have made 30,

122
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:33,000
but the balance of power nevertheless has been strongly on the side of the Yankees.

123
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Going into today's game, which is the last at the polo grounds, regardless of what transpires here,

124
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,000
the Yankees are really the favorites. They have to be regarded as the favorites.

125
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,000
They've won three out of the four games in eight, but one more to gain the world's championship.

126
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Over the amplifying system at the present time, the announcer has been giving you the battery,

127
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:06,000
which will be Cliff Melton and Harry Danning for the Giants and Vernon Gomez and Bill Dickey for the Yankees.

128
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Yesterday, Harry Danning along with Hank Lieber got into the Giants lineup for the second time,

129
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
did most of the hitting that turned back the tide of Yankee power,

130
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:44,000
and made it necessary to play today's game, the National Anthem.

131
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:51,000
question mark

132
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:25,360
Well, the baseball game is almost ready to begin.

133
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,360
The Giants, the home club, are rushing out of the field.

134
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:34,160
So I'm going to turn you over now to the very efficient services of Tom Manning to give

135
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,560
you the lineup and the detail of the ball game.

136
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,560
All right, Tom.

137
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,560
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

138
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,560
Well done, Warren Brown.

139
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,560
Here's the lineup.

140
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:47,220
In the field, for the first half of the first inning, will be the National League entry

141
00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:48,220
to the Giants.

142
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:49,220
Moore, left field.

143
00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:50,220
Martell, short.

144
00:15:50,220 --> 00:15:51,220
Harts, third base.

145
00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:52,220
Here's a change in the lineup.

146
00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:53,220
Ripple, right field.

147
00:15:53,220 --> 00:15:54,220
Batting ahead, off center fielder Lieber.

148
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:55,840
That'll be Moore, Martell, Harts, Ripple, Lieber.

149
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,020
McCarty, first base.

150
00:15:58,020 --> 00:15:59,860
Manning, catch.

151
00:15:59,860 --> 00:16:03,440
Whitehead, middle fielder.

152
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,560
Martell, off, ripple, leaper.

153
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,240
McCarthy, first base, tanning, catch.

154
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,040
Whitehead, second.

155
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,840
Ann Meltem, long, lean, left-hander in the box.

156
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,600
Well, the Yanks, goes out of it short.

157
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,840
Robe, DiMaggio, center.

158
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,080
Geary, first.

159
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,440
Nicky, catch.

160
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,080
Holt, left field.

161
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,880
Selkirk, right.

162
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,800
Mazari, second.

163
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:30,960
Gomez, pitch.

164
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,480
The umpires behind the plate will be Ormsby.

165
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,120
First base will be Barr.

166
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,880
Second base, Basil, and a third base, it'll be Stewart.

167
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,960
Everybody in position.

168
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,720
Nick Martell has just tossed the ball to Melton.

169
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,000
Umpire at Ormsby has adjusted his paraphernalia.

170
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,480
Frankie Cosetti steps into the batter's box.

171
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,440
And the wind-up of the ball game is on.

172
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,440
The pitch, it's a long drive going deep into left field.

173
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,440
Back, Joe Moore is back, under it, and he takes it.

174
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,920
One away, Frankie Cosetti stepping into that first ball pitch.

175
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,120
And it was a long drive to left field.

176
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,120
Joe Moore was off, under, and caught for the first out.

177
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,720
Frankie Cosetti had one hit out of 17 times at bat.

178
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,560
Now third baseman, Red Rolf.

179
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,560
Red has five bingles out of 17 times at bat.

180
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,200
Here's the pitch.

181
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,040
It's a strike.

182
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:22,880
Oh.

183
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,480
Lift belt, left-hander in the box.

184
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,480
Standing, catching, and Rolf.

185
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,800
The Yanke third baseman, left-hand batter, is at the plate.

186
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,040
Inside ball.

187
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,320
Ball one, and strike one.

188
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,920
Rolf pumping that old fat up on town, one-on-one, coming.

189
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,200
It's a base hit.

190
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,280
Between third and short in the left field.

191
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,720
Joe Moore retrieves the ball.

192
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:52,760
Rolf grounds first.

193
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,520
The throw is to Martell at second.

194
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,520
And it's a single for Rolf.

195
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,480
Joe DiMaggio coming up.

196
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,040
Something wrong with Joe's bat.

197
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,240
After walking clear up to the plate,

198
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,000
oh, he threw the wrong bat away.

199
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:09,840
Each of the players, you know,

200
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,600
come up there with two or more bats.

201
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,360
Joe tossed the wrong one over the dugout,

202
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:18,920
and hadn't noticed it until he got clear up to the plate.

203
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,520
Now he's in there, ready to go.

204
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,520
It's the first inning of this fifth game of the World Series.

205
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,040
Yanke batting Rolf on first, one out.

206
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,040
Nelson takes the stretch, and here it is.

207
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,000
It's a high fly ball, the short center field.

208
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,520
Everybody's after it, everybody's after it.

209
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,760
And finally, Whitehead makes a beautiful running catch,

210
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,320
way out in center field.

211
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,320
Whitehead taking that ball to the foot out.

212
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,360
And that's the roar of the crowd, is for Whitehead.

213
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:45,640
That looked awful bad for a moment.

214
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,440
With center fielder Lieber coming in.

215
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,400
Burgess Whitehead dashed out there,

216
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,760
and at the last moment, he made up his mind

217
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,520
to keep on going, and he grabbed that ball

218
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,920
with his back to the plate.

219
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,920
Larabine Lou Gehrig of Columbia coming up.

220
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,960
Joe DiMaggio had five out of 17.

221
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,320
Now we have Gehrig at bat.

222
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,080
Gehrig has three out of 13.

223
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,040
Some spectator let go of the Sunday newspaper,

224
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,520
and there's plenty of paper flying out there

225
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,200
in center field, and three of the groundkeepers

226
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,560
are running out there, chasing foot like crazy.

227
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,400
Groundkeepers are running out there, chasing foot

228
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,400
like a flock of ducks when it first came out of the stands.

229
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,600
Aralev retrieved the last bit of it now,

230
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,600
and there's a round of applause for them.

231
00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:35,480
Boys are still running off the field.

232
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,520
We were detained while they retrieved

233
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,440
that blowing paper out there.

234
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,560
Lou Gehrig at bat, two out, and we have Wolf on first base.

235
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,960
Here's the pitch, strike, a sharp breaking curve ball

236
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,520
that had Gehrig pulling away from the plate.

237
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,840
It caught the inside corner,

238
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,640
and Ong's being called to the strike.

239
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,400
Two out, Wolf is on first.

240
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,960
Here it is, outside, ball one, and strike one.

241
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,320
This is the third appearance in this series of Cliff Mountain.

242
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,320
Open the second game and we lead them to third.

243
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,320
Ball one, strike one, play at first base.

244
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,880
It's not even close.

245
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,680
Ball one, and strike one.

246
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,480
On Lou Gehrig, the batter.

247
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,120
The Yanks are batting in the first inning.

248
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:28,240
Again, Melton tosses over to McCarthy.

249
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,240
At time, we're all standing there with his foot on the bat.

250
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,720
Heavy wind blowing, another play at first.

251
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,320
This one's closer, but he's safe.

252
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,560
The heavy wind blowing, and that's a distinct advantage

253
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,320
for the left-hand hitters.

254
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,040
There's a stretch, and here it is.

255
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,840
Outside, almost a wild pitch.

256
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,160
Nice stuff by catcher Harry Danning.

257
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,720
Ball two, and strike one.

258
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,360
Danning stands there with his glove off,

259
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:55,560
now rubbing the ball up before tossing it out there

260
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,960
to Cliff Mountain.

261
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,720
It's Lou Gehrig, and he's going to be the first to hit the ball.

262
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,840
It's Lou Gehrig batting.

263
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,720
Ball two, and strike one.

264
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,320
Two out, and ball is on first base.

265
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,120
A stretch.

266
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:16,120
Coming.

267
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,920
Ball three, that's a wild pitch.

268
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,920
He's going down the throw.

269
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,320
He's lying. He's safe.

270
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,240
I believe that that will be scored as a wild pitch.

271
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,520
We'll get the official decision for you in a moment.

272
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:30,920
Let go of ball two, and strike one.

273
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,920
Cliff Mountain let go with a curveball of the slow outside.

274
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:37,920
And Roth went to second.

275
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,920
Now the count is three and one.

276
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,920
The official scores are still...

277
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,920
Wild pitch is correct. Here we go.

278
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,920
Ball four, another sweeping curveball.

279
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,920
Missed the outside corner.

280
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,920
With the runner on second base,

281
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,920
Cliff Mountain was taking no chance

282
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,920
and slamming that ball down through the middle to Gehrig

283
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,920
with a count three and one.

284
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:03,920
He threw a slow sweeping curveball that was outside.

285
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,920
That brings Bill Dickey to bat.

286
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,920
Bill has four hits out of 16 times at the plate.

287
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,920
First base from McCartney playing way back,

288
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,920
giving Gehrig a big lead.

289
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,920
Here it is.

290
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:21,920
Strike.

291
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,920
Goal.

292
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,920
Sharp breaking curveball with Melton Heather in there

293
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,920
over the inside corner to Bill Dickey, a left-hand batter.

294
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:31,920
Roth is on second.

295
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:32,920
Gehrig is on first.

296
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:33,920
It's the first inning.

297
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:34,920
No score.

298
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:35,920
Two men out.

299
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,920
Outside.

300
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,920
Ball one and strike one.

301
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,920
Let Roth is on second.

302
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:52,920
Gehrig on first.

303
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:53,920
Two out.

304
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:54,920
Ball one, strike one.

305
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,920
Pitch.

306
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,920
It's a top ball down first.

307
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,920
It's ball and strike two.

308
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,920
Earl Colman's coaching at first base retrieves that ball.

309
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,920
That diamond is well soaked.

310
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,920
The only thoroughly dry spot on the diamond there

311
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,920
is the pitching rubber and the spot around home plate.

312
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:19,920
Strike two and ball one.

313
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,920
Ready to go again.

314
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:21,920
Two out.

315
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:22,920
Ball on second.

316
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:23,920
Gehrig on first.

317
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:24,920
Melton takes a stretch.

318
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:26,920
Strike two and ball one.

319
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:28,920
Inside.

320
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:29,920
Ball two.

321
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,920
Flip.

322
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,920
Early aim.

323
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,920
That ball over the inside to Bill Dickey.

324
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,920
Once again, Harry Tanning has his big mitt off standing there

325
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,920
rubbing the ball with his bare hands before tossing it out to Melton.

326
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,920
Dickey steps out of the batter's box.

327
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,920
It's ball two and strike two.

328
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:49,920
Two men out.

329
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,920
Two men out.

330
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:52,920
A block of twos.

331
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:53,920
Alright, it's two and two.

332
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,920
Coming.

333
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:56,920
Strike three.

334
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:57,920
All.

335
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,920
Stop breaking third ball and so is Dickey.

336
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:01,920
Please, it was a strike.

337
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,920
Just ducked his head and ran for the Yankee dugout.

338
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,920
So that's all for the Yanks for the first inning.

339
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,920
No runs, one hit, one base on balls and no errors.

340
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,920
Warren.

341
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:15,920
Melton certainly worked himself out of a rather difficult position there in this inning,

342
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,920
especially pitching to Bill Dickey who was one of the more powerful hitters

343
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,920
in this New York Yankee lineup.

344
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,920
I noticed that in the first inning, Melton was throwing more curves, I think, than fastballs.

345
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,920
He threw curves almost exclusively to Garrick when he walked him

346
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,920
and that was about all that Dickey had, save one fastball that came in around his ankles.

347
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,920
That last curve was a beautiful thing, breaking sharply over the plate and it fooled Dickey completely.

348
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,920
Melton certainly has started out his first inning while he was in a little trouble

349
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:53,920
with no sign that the three appearances which he's been forced to make in this 1937 World Series

350
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,920
have cramped his style in the Yankees.

351
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:03,920
He began with a rush and now we'll have a look at Gomez making his second appearance in the World Series.

352
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,920
Gomez was very effective his first time out over in the Yankee Stadium

353
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:13,920
and since he is tremendously fast, one of the swiftest pitchers in the American League,

354
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,920
the Scott Day, which is supposed to be ideal for fast pitching,

355
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,920
ought to be right down Gomez's alley, much as it is down Melton's.

356
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,920
The first giant batter is about out of the plate, Tom, so I guess you can take charge again.

357
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,920
No score is yet, we're going into the last half of the first inning and Joe Moore,

358
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,920
left fielder of the Giants, will hit first.

359
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:41,920
Joe gets a nice round of applause from the fans here, I believe about 35,000 in the four of rounds.

360
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,920
Gomez winding up the pitch.

361
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,920
It's a base hit on the left field, a base hit.

362
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:52,920
Out come of the ball momentarily, picks it up, returns it to Lazzari and it's a single for Joe Moore.

363
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,920
Going to Lazzari, had the ball, now he's walking clear into the pitching rubber,

364
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,920
rubbing it up before handing it to Gomez.

365
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,920
That was a line drive, it shortstopped Frankie Cosetti, leap far to his right, Moore,

366
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,920
locked listed by several feet.

367
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,920
Moore went bounding out the left field with a free-five hole.

368
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,920
All right, we have six Bartell up in the strike one, swinging.

369
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,920
Bartell has a right hand batter.

370
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,920
Moore had six hits out of 18 Giants at bat and Bartell has four out of 17.

371
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,920
Gomez takes a stretch and here it is, the high fly ball to left field.

372
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:40,920
Hogue gets under it, running in, still coming in, makes the catches out.

373
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:46,920
Ball was hit pretty hard, there's a wind blowing in from left field.

374
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,920
Hogue started to slow up for that catch, then had to hurry a little bit to catch up with.

375
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,920
We still have Moore on first, one man out and now on.

376
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,920
Left hand batter and third baseman coming up.

377
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,920
Now has three hits out of 17 times at bat.

378
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:09,920
Strike one, took a healthy cut from way back at that ball.

379
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,920
We have no scores yet, we're playing the last half of the first inning.

380
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,920
The Giants batting one out and Moore is on first base.

381
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:23,920
Inside, ball one and strike one.

382
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:31,920
Jimmy Gomez pitching for the Yankees and Bill Dickey behind the bat.

383
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:39,920
Gomez, ready, there it is, foul up and back.

384
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,920
Up and back of home plate, a bit of a scramble going on for it,

385
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,920
it makes the count on Melott, strike two and ball one.

386
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,920
We have right fielder Jimmy Ripple coming up next.

387
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,920
How fast Gomez is pitching.

388
00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:02,920
Like we know, going for a bad ball high on the outside.

389
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,920
That was really a bad ball high on the outside.

390
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:10,920
Mel started a swing, couldn't hold, collared through and looked just a little bad on that strike out.

391
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,920
Two gone, Jimmy Ripple coming up.

392
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,920
Here's three hits out of 13 trips to the plate.

393
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,920
Another base hit in the right center field, Moore rounding second.

394
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,920
DiMaggio has the ball, the throw is cut off by Frankie Cosetti.

395
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,920
And it bounds away from Cosetti over to the pitcher's box where Rolfe passes on it.

396
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:41,920
Ripple stopping it first, Moore on third base, Ripple on first and Lieber coming up.

397
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:47,920
Both of those Giants hits were ringing line drives, one by Moore over Cosetti's head,

398
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:53,920
Ripple over Rosetti's head.

399
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,920
DiMaggio came up with that ball and cut loose a bit quick, but Rosetti running heads up,

400
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,920
seeing that there was no chance of getting Moore at third base, cut that ball off,

401
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,920
so as to prevent Ripple from going to second and be in a scoring position.

402
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,920
Hank Lieber, you know, has a right hand batter, he has two hits out of seven times up.

403
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:19,920
Two very important hits there were, too, the stretch and the pitch outside, ball one.

404
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,920
Letty Gomez in the box for the Yanks.

405
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,920
Outfield is a play, plenty deep.

406
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:27,920
Here it is.

407
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,920
Strike, he swings wide and misses.

408
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Ball one and strike one.

409
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,920
Hank Lieber has stepped out of the practice box for a moment.

410
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:41,920
Tense moments indeed.

411
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,920
Two out runners on first and third, one and one coming.

412
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,920
Ball two, that ball was over but just a little bit high.

413
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,920
Ball two and strike one.

414
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,920
Merle Hogan playing way out there, the 400 foot sign.

415
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,920
DiMaggio has moved out, too.

416
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,920
They're playing direct position, though, left, center and right.

417
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:01,920
All right, ball two and strike one.

418
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,920
The high infield fly near first base.

419
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,920
On the line is Gehrig waiting and Gehrig takes it.

420
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:09,920
That's all for the Giants in the first inning.

421
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,920
No runs, two hits at, no errors.

422
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:12,920
One.

423
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:20,920
The thing worth commenting on in that inning is the change of tactics on the part of the New York Giants.

424
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:27,920
Rather, it is a return to the tactics that they used while they were in their regular play in the National League season.

425
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:34,920
Joe Moore, their leadoff man, has established a record down through the years of liking to take a whack at that first ball.

426
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:40,920
We've been watching him all through this series and Joe has been letting the first ball go by more often than not.

427
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:47,920
Today, perhaps Gomez thought he was going right on, too, with that and came in there with it when Moore got his base hit.

428
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:57,920
The other mark change is their lack of respect today, or at least in this first inning, for the throwing arms of the Yankee outfielders.

429
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:03,920
You may have remembered from listening to the broadcast of the other games that the Giants fell in third to take that extra base.

430
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,920
Today, Moore kept right on going in spite of the fact that the ball was hit at the night deal.

431
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,920
We're supposed to have the best throwing arm in the Major League.

432
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,920
It's all right, Tom, the ready goes.

433
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,920
Merle holds the first hitter, right hand batter, the wind up and the pitch.

434
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,920
All one.

435
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,920
Fast ball outside.

436
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,920
Merle has five hits out of 16 times at bat.

437
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:25,920
No score as yet.

438
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,920
First man up for the Yankees in the second inning.

439
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,920
Here it is.

440
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,920
Inside on a ball, too.

441
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:41,920
Keeping her ball and Merle holds right hand batter, watched all the way and then stepped away from it as it was too close and inside.

442
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,920
Ball to the count.

443
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,920
Strike.

444
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,920
Fast ball right down the alley.

445
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:49,920
Flip Melton, throws a string on that one.

446
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:56,920
Ball two and strike one.

447
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:57,920
There it comes.

448
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,920
There's a long drive going deep in the right field.

449
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,920
High up in the right field, making for a home run.

450
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:18,920
A home run by Merle holds the left field of the Yankees.

451
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:26,920
At ball by Merle Ho, the right hand hitter, the count ball two and strike one was in the upper deck well over in right field.

452
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:33,920
The ball was rolling, perhaps about 450 feet.

453
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,920
One to nothing in favor of the Yanks.

454
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,920
Selkirk, right fielder left hand batter is up.

455
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:40,920
Ball run.

456
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:49,920
Fast ball at Max Selkirk, away from the plate.

457
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:58,920
At the top of the second inning, the score of one to nothing in favor of the America League entry, the result of that mighty home run by Merle Ho.

458
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,920
Flip Melton, southpaw.

459
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:01,920
Pitching.

460
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,920
Ball one to count.

461
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,920
Ball two.

462
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,920
And a fast ball inside.

463
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:13,920
And the count is two and nothing.

464
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,920
Tony Lozori hanging around, heel back next.

465
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,920
Ball two.

466
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,920
Strike.

467
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,920
Fast ball right down the middle and fell high on the count on George Selkirk.

468
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,920
Ball two and strike one.

469
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,920
George steps away from the plate, wipes his hands on his trousers.

470
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,920
Back in there ready to go.

471
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,920
Ball two and strike one.

472
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,920
Bounding ball down, fourth second.

473
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:36,920
Right head comes up with it to Cole.

474
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:37,920
He's out.

475
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,920
Right head to Pataki.

476
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,920
George Selkirk rounding out, one gone, nobody on.

477
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Tony Lozori.

478
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,920
Tony has five hits out of 12 times at bat.

479
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,920
Getting a nice round of applause.

480
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,920
George Selkirk has four hits out of 15 times at bat.

481
00:33:58,920 --> 00:33:59,920
Tony Lozori.

482
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:00,920
Strike.

483
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:06,920
Fast ball just above the knees, over the outside corner.

484
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,920
First half of the second inning.

485
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,920
Power ball.

486
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:18,920
Line drive into the right field corner.

487
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,920
That's strike two on Lozori.

488
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,920
Low line smash that had the spectators scattering.

489
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,920
Here it comes.

490
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,920
Ball up and back.

491
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:38,920
Hits the screen right in front of the microphone here.

492
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,920
Score is one to nothing in favor of the New York Yankees.

493
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,920
First half of the second inning, one man out.

494
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:45,920
Nobody on.

495
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,920
Lozori at bat with strike two.

496
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,920
The wind up.

497
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,920
Strike three, Cole.

498
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:52,920
It's a beautiful curve ball.

499
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,920
Tony Lozori knew it.

500
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,920
That's bowed his head as much as to say absolutely correct and walked away.

501
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:06,920
Both of those strikeouts, Dickey and Lozori, no question in the mind of the batter.

502
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,920
They were very definite in their own minds that it was a third strike.

503
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,920
Now they have Gomez coming up.

504
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,920
Two off, nobody on.

505
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:24,920
Lefty bats and throws, left-handed.

506
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,920
Two off, nobody on, and here we go.

507
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,920
Ball one.

508
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,920
Sweeping curve ball.

509
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,920
Lefty Gomez started a swing at that.

510
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,920
Harry Danning turned around, claiming that it was a strike.

511
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,920
Long as he said nay.

512
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,920
Here we go.

513
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:47,920
Cole strike one.

514
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,920
Ball one in, strike one.

515
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:56,920
Curve ball inside, Gomez swinging hard, tap the ball.

516
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,920
First half of the second inning.

517
00:35:58,920 --> 00:35:59,920
One to nothing in favor of the Yankees.

518
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,920
Two off, nobody on.

519
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,920
Strike two, the curve.

520
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:14,920
Ball.

521
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,920
It's a mix-up on the decision on those balls and strikes there.

522
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:22,920
He called that first one a ball, but they have strike two and ball one on the board.

523
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,920
Now it's a tip ball, so it doesn't make any difference now.

524
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,920
That first pitch that Danning claimed might have been a strike,

525
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,920
long as he held up his left hand, which means that it was a ball.

526
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:39,920
Makes no difference if strike two and ball one.

527
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,920
Here it comes.

528
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,920
Strike three, Cole.

529
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,920
Nice shot, breaking curve ball at Gomez.

530
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:52,920
Around to class five, and it's no, one run, one hit, and no errors for the Yankees in the second one.

531
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:57,920
And the home run that we talked about in advance of the game has finally made its appearance

532
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,920
in the World Series at a point where it really means something.

533
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,920
Marl Hoaks line shot over there into the upper deck of the right field stand.

534
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:13,920
Starting the Yankees off, one run to the good is the first home run of the three made in the series

535
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,920
that had material effect upon the game.

536
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:23,920
At the present time, except for that home run, Melton seems to be pitching very well out there.

537
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,920
He has his control back. He doesn't even seem to be as unsteady as he was in the first inning.

538
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,920
Against the right-hand hitters, it looks to me as though he's been pitching outside to them,

539
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,920
particularly to Hoak to keep him from pulling in the left.

540
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:42,920
But the California boy simply stuck out his bat and poked the ball into the right field stand.

541
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,920
He's got his home run over there, so I guess it doesn't make much difference.

542
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,920
If they're going to hit him, they're going to hit him, whether you pitch inside or outside.

543
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,920
The Giants coming up for their turn, and it's your turn, Tom.

544
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:59,920
It'll be Johnny McCarthy, the Giant first baseman leading off in the last half of the second.

545
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:03,920
McCarthy, Danning, and Whitehead coming up.

546
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:09,920
The late tuners in again, let Yankee outfielders Hoag left, DiMaggio center, Selkirk in right.

547
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:16,920
Kerrigan first, Lozari second, Rosetti short, ball third, and the battery is Lufty Gomez and Bill Dick.

548
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,920
On firearms behind the plate calls play ball, and here we go.

549
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,920
A far back, strike one.

550
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,920
Johnny McCarthy is a tall Yankee boy.

551
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,920
Bats and throws left-handed.

552
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,920
Mack has had four hits out of 15 times of bat.

553
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,920
A bounding ball down between first and second, Lozari has it to throw to Kerrigan.

554
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,920
He's out.

555
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,920
Run away, nobody on.

556
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,920
Harry Danning coming up.

557
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,920
Harry Danning having replaced Gus Mancuso. Gus was injured.

558
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,920
Little finger of his right hand.

559
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:02,920
Danning making a very acceptable substitute.

560
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,920
Right hand bat of the first pitch, outside, ball one.

561
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,920
Last half of the second inning, the score one to nothing in favor of the Yankees.

562
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:16,920
The Giants have bat one out, nobody on, Danning heading, and it's ball one.

563
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,920
Oh, oh.

564
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:30,920
Hard smash down, right field, curving into the stands, it's ball one and strike one.

565
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,920
Here comes strike two.

566
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,920
Danning went off his bat on that one.

567
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:41,920
Split second too late.

568
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,920
Wouldn't be surprised if it's pretty tough to see that ball out there.

569
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,920
Gomez, speedball pitcher, and it's awful dark here in New York.

570
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:56,920
Strike three, out of the ball, fell higher, about a hop on it for the third strike.

571
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,920
That's the second strike out for Gomez.

572
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,920
Melvin Hart from Harry Danning.

573
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,920
Perch is right-hit coming up.

574
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,920
Perch has three hits out of 12 times at bat.

575
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,920
Right hand hitter.

576
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:17,920
Giant half of the second, two out, nobody on.

577
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,920
High fly ball, right field, looks like a Texas League hit, it is.

578
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,920
Texas League hit, right hand is fouled at first and he's going to second.

579
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,920
There's the throw, he's safe, a two-bagger.

580
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,920
That was a high pop, fly down of right field.

581
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,920
Gary goes off on the crack of the bat.

582
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:39,920
Selkirk also, both of them came over there and neither Gary or Selkirk got within 20 feet of that ball.

583
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:46,920
It was finally retrieved by Selkirk, looked into the infield, and it's a two-base hit for Whitehead.

584
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,920
They have the pitcher Cliff Melvin coming up.

585
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:54,920
This being a full day, going to take the pitchers quite some time to get up to the plate

586
00:40:54,920 --> 00:41:02,920
because they're wrapped in their heavy sweater and a big blanket at the completion of each inning.

587
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,920
Bill Dickey, Gomez, and up by Ormansby, all standing halfway between the plate and the box,

588
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,920
discussing something and Ormansby is looking at the ball.

589
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,920
Everything's okay, they're going back to their positions now.

590
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,920
Gomez has his glove off, rubbing that ball up.

591
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,920
Thompson steps in the box, we're ready to go.

592
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:25,920
Ball one, stripping curve ball is high and outside.

593
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,920
It's the giant half of the second inning.

594
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:32,920
Two outs. Whitehead on second.

595
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,920
Strike.

596
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:42,920
Took a mighty cut at that one, it was ball one and strike one.

597
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,920
One and one, the pitcher batting.

598
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:53,920
Strike two, he swings hard again.

599
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,920
It's lefty Gomez, he's got a lot of speed out there this afternoon.

600
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,920
Every afternoon too.

601
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,920
Ball is too high, a change of pace offering.

602
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:09,920
Try to pull Cliff Melvin with that one if it's strike two and ball two.

603
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,920
Two and two.

604
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,920
Strike three, he's out.

605
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,920
Whitehead on second base, Gomez, man, Melvin.

606
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,920
This game is always coming to you from the holograms of New York City,

607
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,920
the fifth game of the World Series between the Giants and the Yankees.

608
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,920
It's being sent to you over the combined red and blue network of the National Broadcasting Company.

609
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,920
We pause now for station identification.

610
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,920
This is station WMAQ Chicago.

611
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,920
Looking at the holograms and the NBC booth in the upper deck,

612
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:48,920
watching the progress of the game between the New York Yankees and the New York Giants.

613
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,920
The Yankees at the present time are leading by one to nothing

614
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,920
because of a home run delivered in the second inning by Merrill Hoag, their lefty.

615
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:02,920
Both lefty Gomez and Cliff Melvin, the pitchers, are progressing very favorably.

616
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,920
At the present time there is no criticism to make of their pitching.

617
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,920
The Yankees are at bat now and Tom Manning.

618
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,920
First half of the third inning, the top again, Frankie Grossetti.

619
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,920
Strike one, he cuts off the first ball pitch.

620
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,920
Last time up, he might fly into left field.

621
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,920
Also, that time was bad, he hit the first ball pitch.

622
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,920
Strike one, inside and it's ball one.

623
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:32,920
Ball one and strike one.

624
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,920
Cliff Melvin pitching, here we go.

625
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:41,920
Ball one, that ball was over the plate, but too low.

626
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,920
Last time up, Bill Zicke struck out.

627
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,920
Here it is.

628
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,920
A high foul at the back of the plate, Danning coming back.

629
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,920
He's under it, he ought to get it, he does.

630
00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:00,920
Bill Zicke calling out to catcher Danning.

631
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,920
Now the home run hitter, Marl Hobe coming up.

632
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:10,920
Marl's right hand battered.

633
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:16,920
Last time up, of course, he had his home run giving him six hits out of 17 times at bat.

634
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,920
Malcolm's first delivery, inside, ball one.

635
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,920
First half of the fourth inning, the Yankees are batting.

636
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,920
Score two and two, one man out, nobody on.

637
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,920
Ball one on the hitter.

638
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:39,920
There it goes, it's a long drive to left, but this time Moore is over near the wall and makes the catch.

639
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,920
Moore was hit in a good spot, ordinarily a base hit, but this time Joe Moore was playing over there,

640
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:51,920
close to that 360 foot sign there and ran over against the billboard to make the catch.

641
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:58,920
George Iselkirk and Pat, last time up George bounded out, right hand to McCarty.

642
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,920
Four hits out of 16 trips to the plate.

643
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,920
Ball one.

644
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:16,920
Change of pace curve ball, sort of a sweeping thing that came at the batter and then flushed inside, but not quite enough, and it's ball one.

645
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:23,920
Strike, beautiful fast ball right down the alley and felt high.

646
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,920
Ball one and strike one.

647
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,920
Two out, nobody on.

648
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:36,920
High foul ball between third and home, I believe Danning will take it out, as in there Danning takes it.

649
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,920
That's all for the Yankees, that was quick, no runs, no hits and no errors.

650
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:48,920
Tom I suppose you've noticed in that inning that Melton seemed to be faster than he was at any time in the ball game.

651
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:54,920
Those three hitters, one after the other, all failed to get their backs around as the saying is.

652
00:45:54,920 --> 00:46:04,920
Ball was past them before they got a good cut out of them and the result were those up flies, two of them to the catcher and a sort of a soggy one.

653
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,920
Really I think Hogue hit that ball on the handle that went out in the left field.

654
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:22,920
That is a good indication that Melton is still a very strong pitcher and I think this is really a remarkable thing on his part because after all three appearances in five games there's a lot of work from a pitcher.

655
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:37,920
On the other hand, up to the present time the Giants seem to be hitting Gomez I'd say steadily, certainly more steadily than they did when they first faced him over at the Yankee Stadium in what now seems like the long ago.

656
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:43,920
Indeed it does and we're going into the last half of the fourth inning that score is all tied up two and two.

657
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:51,920
We have McCarthy, Johnny McCarthy leading off, Harry Danning, second and white hit third. Gomez, the first pitch, strike call.

658
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:59,920
Shock breaking curve ball that Johnny pulled away from and broke over the heart of the plate for a called strike.

659
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:04,920
Here it is. Ball outside, it's one and one.

660
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:14,920
Last half of the fourth inning. Johnny McCarthy leading off for the Giants.

661
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:27,920
Strike two. Johnny waved at that one. Last curve ball over the outside corner and it's strike two and ball one.

662
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:39,920
Strike three. He waved at that one. Took a very beautiful cut at it however, didn't miss it by very much.

663
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:47,920
That's the third strikeout of the afternoon for Gomez.

664
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:56,920
Score the Yanks two, the Giants two, last half of the fourth inning one out. Danning up, hits the first ball, it's a foul over the boxes in fact the first base.

665
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:03,920
Strike one.

666
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:10,920
That's the Gomez taking his time before the next delivery to Harry Danning. Now we're ready. It's strike one you know.

667
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:19,920
Ball inside. Ball one and strike one. One man out.

668
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:26,920
Danning up. Ball outside. Ball two and strike one.

669
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:31,920
Snyder and Luke doing the coaching for the Giants as usual.

670
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:37,920
That's the Gomez pitching. Ball two, strike one. Strike two.

671
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:43,920
The roar from that dog was from the fact that Harry Danning was fooled on that pitch and looked awful bad swinging it.

672
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:49,920
He swung late then swung at least a yard over that ball.

673
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,920
That is sometimes caused because the batter's trying to outguess the pitcher.

674
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:59,920
Power ball in the box is over in back of first.

675
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:04,920
Ball one and strike two.

676
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:11,920
The appearance of that swing Harry was expecting a sharp breaking curve ball instead of that. Gomez struck it over the outside corner.

677
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,920
Ball five. Two and two.

678
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:19,920
Hit ball back. It remains two and two.

679
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:30,920
The count is two and two. The score is Giants two, the Yankees two and we're in the last half of the fourth inning and we have one man out and nobody on.

680
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:35,920
Harry Danning twisted himself a little bit and swinging at that ball.

681
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,920
He's standing out of the batter's box.

682
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,920
He's ready to go again. Two and two.

683
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:47,920
It's a long drive going off the right field but it's fouled by only a foot.

684
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,920
Danning was all the way down to first base. That ball hit the top of the scoreboard in the right field corner.

685
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,920
That was up over the 294 foot side.

686
00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:03,920
It was a ringing line drive. Everybody jumped to their feet expecting the ball to drop over the top of the parry or out there for another home run.

687
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:08,920
But it hit only inches from the top and only about one foot foul.

688
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,920
Harry's taking a lot of time coming back from first base.

689
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:18,920
Ball was hit like a shot out of a cannon.

690
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:23,920
When we go again it'll be ball two, strike two, one out and nobody on. Here we go.

691
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:29,920
That's a line smash over in the boxes in fact with third base. It's a foul.

692
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:34,920
Everybody over there trying to catch that ball out there.

693
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:41,920
Harry's got his eye on the ball. It's two and two.

694
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,920
Gomez winding up. There we go.

695
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:49,920
High foul ball coming back. Vicki coming back fast.

696
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,920
He has it.

697
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,920
That was so close to the stands here that we had to wait for the roar of the car that time.

698
00:50:54,920 --> 00:51:00,920
We couldn't see it so we have two out, nobody on and gorgeous whitehead coming up.

699
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,920
Two men out.

700
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:09,920
Whitehead coming up. Last time up whitehead had a double.

701
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:14,920
Last half of the fourth inning, Giants batting. It scores two and two.

702
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,920
We have two men out, nobody on.

703
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,920
Ball one. That ball was over the plate, a little bit too low.

704
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:27,920
It may be getting just a little darker now than it was at the start of the game.

705
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,920
That wind is drawn cold.

706
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,920
Ball two.

707
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,920
Whitehead started a swing at that and this time he was able to hold the swing back.

708
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,920
That's the first time in the series as we remember that the boys started a swing and were able to hold it.

709
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:54,920
That's a shot to right for this foul.

710
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,920
That one of the ground keepers out there comes up with a little Charleston after that one.

711
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:01,920
Shivering from getting out of its way.

712
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,920
The ground keeper is a sitting lad out there close to the foul line in the right field corner.

713
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,920
It's ball two and strike one. Ready?

714
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:14,920
The ball strikes the right field right at Georgie Shulker and he takes it so high. A line drive that he never moved for.

715
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,920
That's all for the Giants for the fourth inning.

716
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,920
No runs, no hits and no errors. Mr. Brook.

717
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:31,920
And because Tom there was no runs, no hits, no errors and nobody on base, obviously it was the pitchers' inning rather than the hitters.

718
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:37,920
I have no doubt that the darkness of the afternoon had some effect on the swinging I think.

719
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:42,920
Some of the boys that have been batting down here have taken almighty cut sets.

720
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,920
Pitchers that ordinarily they must let go by.

721
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,920
Some of them they've missed by several feet.

722
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,920
Some of them have been bad pitchers.

723
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:56,920
And it's really dark and at the present time there is a little sprinkle of rain starting to come down,

724
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,920
which I daresay will add to the confusion in a very short order.

725
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,920
The Yankees are coming to bat again against Cliff Melton of the Giants.

726
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,920
Tom, I guess maybe you better come in out of the rain and go to work.

727
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,920
What do you mean come in out of the rain?

728
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:20,920
Our microphone is right out here in the open at the Polar Gowns over at the Yanke Stadium.

729
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:25,920
It's undercover but over here it's right out in the open so you'll hear the pitter-patter of the rain hitting the entire family.

730
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,920
Oh my, can we get going?

731
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,920
Do you get your fireman's hat?

732
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,920
Well, we can take it. Ready to go. First half of the fifth. It's two and two.

733
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:40,920
And push him up. Tony Lozali is at bat.

734
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:47,920
Last time up, Tony struck out. Scrawled out on a ball and knocked him head over the outside corner.

735
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:56,920
Inside. Ball. Ball one and strike one.

736
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:01,920
First half of the fifth inning. Lozali the first batter up.

737
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:06,920
There's a high five ball going deep. Going out, out. Leiber going straight.

738
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:11,920
He doesn't make the catch. Lozali is round at first. Lozali is round at second.

739
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,920
There's a relay. Right hook goes out and Lozali stops at third base.

740
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:20,920
A mighty triple from four hundred and sixty feet from home plate.

741
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:22,920
To the crack of that bat. Triple.

742
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:28,920
Leiber the center fielder. Set sail for the ball. But, triple.

743
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:35,920
Neither one of them can catch up with it. And it landed out there just about one yard from the barrier in left field.

744
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,920
That's about four hundred and fifty feet from home plate.

745
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,920
Ball was really hit.

746
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,920
You've really got to hit them to get them over that barrier.

747
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:55,920
And that's about twelve feet high after you get to the furthest extent of the line between home plate and center fielder.

748
00:54:55,920 --> 00:55:01,920
Lozali is on third base. We have Gomez coming up.

749
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,920
That is the fourth Yankee hit of the afternoon.

750
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:11,920
The fifth one was taking a lot of time before tossing that first ball up to lefty Gomez.

751
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,920
In field. They're going to move in of course.

752
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,920
Trying to cut that run off Lozali.

753
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,920
Lozali is on third base. Nobody out but score is five, two and two.

754
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:22,920
Here we go.

755
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,920
The line is tired and the base hit.

756
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,920
The coaches white hit got a drop hand on that ball but it was hit like lightning.

757
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:33,920
And it's a base hit in the center field. And Lozali scores from third base.

758
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:38,920
The Yankees of the American League three and the Giants of the Master League two.

759
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,920
The result of Lozali's triple and with the infield drawn in.

760
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,920
Lefty Gomez swung hard and hit a lightning smash.

761
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:51,920
That second baseman white hit just barely got his drop hand on and batted it out into center field.

762
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,920
It hit so hard that if it had been right at him it probably would have knocked him down.

763
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,920
First half of the fifth inning nobody out. Gomez is on first.

764
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:03,920
And what you laid for a moment while lefty Gomez the Yankees catcher gets his sweater on.

765
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,920
He's got it on now and all buttons up and we're ready to go.

766
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:11,920
Up comes the top again. Frankie Crozzetti. No hits out of two times at bat.

767
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,920
One hit out of 19 times at bat in series.

768
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:16,920
It's a strike call.

769
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,920
Fast ball right down the alley.

770
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,920
First time up Frankie fly to left field. The next time up he bounded out.

771
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,920
Hot summer coffee.

772
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,920
Here comes the high fly ball in the short right field.

773
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:35,920
Ripple coming in fast.

774
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:36,920
William Wally is coming in.

775
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,920
Nice running catch by Ripple.

776
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,920
Came in on the dead run and he's getting a nice round of applause.

777
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,920
He was playing rather deep for Frankie Crozzetti.

778
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:52,920
Mike dropped that ball in the short right field with Ripple off with a crack at the bat coming in and taking the ball at top speed.

779
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:53,920
One man out.

780
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,920
Lefty Gomez is on first and red ball for left hand batter coming up.

781
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:07,920
Red has a single and struck out out of two times at bat this afternoon.

782
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:11,920
Six hits out of 19 times at bat.

783
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,920
It's a strike call.

784
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,920
Shock breaking curve ball that Rolfe pulled away from.

785
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,920
The ball broke over the inside corner for a called strike.

786
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,920
Outside of his ball. Ball one and strike one.

787
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,920
First half of the fifth inning to score the Yankees of the American League 3.

788
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,920
The Giants of the National League 2.

789
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:44,920
One man out. Gomez is on first.

790
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:45,920
Rolfe at bat.

791
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:46,920
Ball one.

792
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:47,920
Strike one.

793
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:48,920
It's inside.

794
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:49,920
Ball two.

795
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:03,920
This boy, Cliff Melton, big, gambling youngster, takes a lot of time walking around out there just as cool as a cucumber.

796
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:06,920
Very nonchalant.

797
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:11,920
A stretch outside and this ball three.

798
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:12,920
Three and one.

799
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:21,920
Harry Danning, giant catcher, walking all the way up the pitcher's box now before tossing the apple back to Melton.

800
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:26,920
Melon is walking in right way to the pitcher's box from third base.

801
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,920
And the count will be ball three and strike one.

802
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,920
A little drizzle of rain continues.

803
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,920
Very high wind.

804
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,920
And it's still just as dark as ever.

805
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:43,920
Ball three and strike one.

806
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:44,920
Gomez on first one out.

807
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:45,920
We're ready to go.

808
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,920
Rolfe hitting inside.

809
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,920
Ball four and he walks.

810
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:52,920
That's Gomez advancing to second.

811
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,920
And Joe DiMaggio coming up and getting a nice round of applause.

812
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:01,920
Listen to it for a moment.

813
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:07,920
All right, one eyes on first and second.

814
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,920
One out, the stretch and here it is.

815
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:10,920
Outside.

816
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:11,920
Ball one.

817
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,920
The fans here are not sitting back in their chairs half asleep this afternoon.

818
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:22,920
I'll tell you.

819
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:24,920
One man out.

820
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,920
Gomez on first and second, the stretch.

821
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:27,920
Here it is.

822
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:29,920
A high infield fly ball.

823
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,920
Everybody's after it looks like.

824
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:36,920
It's an automatic out of course, but Danning finally makes the catch.

825
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,920
Well, it's on first and second, the infield fly rule.

826
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:41,920
It's a problem there.

827
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:42,920
Two men out.

828
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:52,920
It would have made no difference whether or not anybody caught that ball.

829
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,920
We're in the fifth inning and I have two men out now to score three to two in favor of the Yankees of the American League.

830
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,920
We have Lava Bing Lu coming up left hand batter so far this afternoon.

831
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,920
Lu drew a base on balls and then struck out.

832
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,920
Gomez is on second base.

833
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,920
Wolf is on first.

834
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:13,920
Here it is.

835
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:15,920
It's a ball.

836
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:16,920
Shock breaking curve ball.

837
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,920
It was too high.

838
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,920
Manny Lou Kerrig leaning over that fight there.

839
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,920
That's a left hander to know.

840
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:29,920
Waving that bat up and down.

841
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,920
Here it comes.

842
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:32,920
Swings and misses.

843
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:33,920
Strike one.

844
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:35,920
Ball one and strike one.

845
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:39,920
That was a pitch inside.

846
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:44,920
That's another high that Kerrig tried to pull.

847
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:45,920
The runner's on first and second.

848
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:46,920
Two out.

849
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:47,920
Ball one and strike one.

850
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:49,920
Manny Lou Kerrig at the plate.

851
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,920
And here it is.

852
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:52,920
There it goes.

853
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,920
It's a base hit in the right center field.

854
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:55,920
Diva going after the ball.

855
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:57,920
Gomez is found at third.

856
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:58,920
Wolf is found at second.

857
01:00:58,920 --> 01:00:59,920
Here's the relay.

858
01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:02,920
Wolf found at third and had to slide back.

859
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,920
It's a two base hit for Kerrig sending Gomez across the plate.

860
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:06,920
Wolf stopping at third.

861
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:08,920
Kerrig getting it double.

862
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:16,920
Score.

863
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,920
The Yankees four.

864
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,920
And the Giants two.

865
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:22,920
Kerrig is on second.

866
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:24,920
Wolf is on third.

867
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,920
Too thick he had bat.

868
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,920
Pretty fast building by Lieber out there.

869
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,920
That ball was hit right in the hole between left and center field.

870
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,920
Lieber going over there fast to take that ball on the run.

871
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,920
He got it back to that infield.

872
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:37,920
Manny fast.

873
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:38,920
This boy, Wolf, is a speed merchant.

874
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,920
All right, Dickey at bat.

875
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,920
First pitch wide.

876
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:44,920
Ball one.

877
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:46,920
Wide sweeping curve ball.

878
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,920
It was about four feet outside of the plate.

879
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,920
New York Yankees four and the New York Giants two.

880
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:57,920
First bat for the fifth inning.

881
01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:58,920
Two out.

882
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,920
Runners on second and third.

883
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,920
Manny and Dickey at bat.

884
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,920
Lieber and Ripple playing very, very deep.

885
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:07,920
Here it comes.

886
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:08,920
Inside.

887
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,920
Ball two.

888
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:14,920
Merle Hope coming up next.

889
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,920
Yankees made three hits and have a base on balls this inning.

890
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:28,920
Ready to go again.

891
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:30,920
Melton took a lot of time before delivering this one.

892
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:32,920
It's ball two and here it is.

893
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,920
Ball three.

894
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,920
Trying to keep that ball over the inside corner to Phil Dickey.

895
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:48,920
That first bag unoccupied.

896
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,920
He probably won't give him anything too good.

897
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,920
Strike.

898
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:54,920
Curve ball at this time.

899
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,920
He caught the inside corner and it's ball three and strike one.

900
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:02,920
Ball for standing in third.

901
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:03,920
Gary Gunn second.

902
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,920
Ball four.

903
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:08,920
Ball is plenty wide at the plate.

904
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:12,920
Now we have the bases loaded and the home run hitter, Merle Hope coming up.

905
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,920
That's the second base on balls this inning for the Yankees.

906
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:20,920
Now we have a play at every base.

907
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,920
The score is four to two, you know, in favor of the Yankees.

908
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:24,920
First half of the fifth inning, two men out.

909
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:25,920
Rolfe on third.

910
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:26,920
Gerrick is on second.

911
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:27,920
Dickey is on first.

912
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,920
Hope, right hand batter is up.

913
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:32,920
Cliff Melton, giant pitcher.

914
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,920
Going around, look to the outfield for a moment.

915
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:42,920
The left hander warming up out there for the Giants.

916
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:43,920
Here we go.

917
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:45,920
High foul ball.

918
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:47,920
Canning is going over fast.

919
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:49,920
He is under it and he has it.

920
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:51,920
That's all for the Yankees in the fifth inning.

921
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,920
New runs.

922
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,920
Three hits, two bases on balls and no errors.

923
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:00,920
At the conclusion of four and a half innings to score, the Yankees at the American League,

924
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,920
four of the Giants at the National League, two.

925
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,920
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Tom Manning speaking to you.

926
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,920
I had the pleasure of broadcasting the first four and a half innings and the last four

927
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:13,920
and a half will be sent to you through the medium of the voice of Red Bob.

928
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,920
This is the fifth game of the World Series between the Yankees and the Giants being played

929
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,920
at the Polo grounds in New York City.

930
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,920
It's being sent to you over the combined blue and red network of the National Broadcasting

931
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:28,920
Company and once more we pause for station identification.

932
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:34,920
This is station WMAQ Chicago.

933
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:39,920
Back in the NBC booth at the Polo grounds as we are ready to go into the last of the fifth

934
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:40,920
inning.

935
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:42,920
Cliff Melton is slated to be the first hitter up for the Giants.

936
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:47,920
As for the second time this afternoon, the Giants in this very crucial ball game, which

937
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:52,920
may mean the series or may mean a continuation of it, find themselves two run behind.

938
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:59,920
Early in the afternoon after the Yankees had hit two battering home runs, the Giants came

939
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:04,920
from behind two to nothing as up with Paltel on first and one out in the third, having

940
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:09,920
a home run for the only giant foremaster of this 1937 Polo Classic.

941
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,920
And now as the Giants come in from the last of the fifth, they are again behind by two

942
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,920
runs as the Yankees have turned on more power, getting two runs in the top of the fifth.

943
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,920
It is four to two in favor of the Yankees.

944
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:25,920
Melton is slated to hit first last to the fifth and then the top of the order, Joe Moore,

945
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:31,920
who has by one the most base hits of any player in the series.

946
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,920
But it looks as though Melton will not bat.

947
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,920
Apparently there's going to be a pitch hitter coming up.

948
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:41,920
And it is Blondie Ryan who is going to be first up in the last of the fifth inning.

949
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:47,920
Blondie Ryan who hits right handed, who was the talisman, the good luck charm of the Giants

950
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:52,920
on an earlier win in campaign in the National League, who made famous the cry of they can't

951
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:53,920
beat us.

952
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:58,920
And it's Blondie Ryan coming up to the plate, his first appearance in this 1937 World Series.

953
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,920
Hitting right handed and first up, lefty Gomez pitches.

954
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,920
Ryan takes strike one, called.

955
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:09,920
A sharp curve down on the inside, just above the knees.

956
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:10,920
Gomez has an easy swinging stretch.

957
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:12,920
Dickey comes out of his crouch.

958
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:14,920
Pitch is low for Paul once.

959
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:16,920
One and one.

960
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:24,920
It's rather customary for balls to be given ahead of strikes, and we bow to custom.

961
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:26,920
One and one.

962
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,920
Outfielder straight away, and not particularly deep in center.

963
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,920
The match will be fairly close, close than usually plays.

964
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:35,920
Pitch swung on, lifted high and foul into the seats, back of first base.

965
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,920
Out one and two as Ryan is behind.

966
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,920
Ball one, strike two.

967
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,920
Melton, after five innings, is finished.

968
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:49,920
Melton in those five innings, gave a four runs all-in on six hits, struck out five.

969
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:50,920
Here's the pitch.

970
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,920
Eye outside, the cap levels, two and two.

971
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:57,920
Melton walked three men.

972
01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,920
Had a great deal of stuff.

973
01:06:59,920 --> 01:07:04,920
He made a couple of pitches with the Yankees, singing their theme song, I Like Mountain

974
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:05,920
Music, I Gotta Hold Up.

975
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:07,920
Ryan swings and lifts his strike three.

976
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:12,920
Lefty Gomez strikes out Blondie Ryan, first up in the last of the fifth innings.

977
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:18,920
And that for Gomez is his fifth strikeout of the afternoon, achieved in four and a third

978
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:19,920
rounds.

979
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,920
It is four to two, favor of the Yankees, who have won three games already.

980
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:27,920
The Giants behind two runs have won just one game.

981
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,920
Joe Moore, who has the most hits of any play in the series, is up batting left-handed.

982
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:32,920
Takes high up above the peak of his cap.

983
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:33,920
Ball one.

984
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,920
Gomez fastballs, failed to sink it all.

985
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,920
Vicki walks a couple of steps out in front of home plate, returns to Lefty.

986
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:43,920
Lefty working as usual in quick movements.

987
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:45,920
Slicks down, takes the sign.

988
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:47,920
Without wasting any further time, delivers.

989
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,920
It's inside up against the letters, and Moore leans back from it.

990
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:51,920
Two-nothing.

991
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:53,920
Two balls, no strikes.

992
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,920
The outfield is pulled a little around toward right.

993
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:58,920
However, Hogan left is staying straight away.

994
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:01,920
Joe Moore hits to both fields.

995
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,920
Joe chokes that bat.

996
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:04,920
Takes inside again.

997
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:06,920
He's ahead three-nothing.

998
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:12,920
Gomez shakes his head to say, I don't like that.

999
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:15,920
This is the kind of a ball game that anything can suddenly pop up in a pirate play.

1000
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,920
Gomez pitching three-nothing, gets it in there for the automatic strike.

1001
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:20,920
Four-taking, of course.

1002
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:21,920
Three-and-one.

1003
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,920
The pitchers swung on, and the Lions drive both ways out of the center field for a solid base rep.

1004
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:32,920
DiMaggio takes on the third bound, throws in the second to Lizally, and Moore with his eighth hit of the series.

1005
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:38,920
Sharp line drive, throws line single into center field, holds on at first base.

1006
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,920
That's hit number six, off Gomez.

1007
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:46,920
And up now steps Dick Bartell, who has one blow this afternoon.

1008
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:53,920
He's out the fly ball single in the left field in the third inning, just ahead of Mel Ahn, who had that home run in his system, which he finally got out.

1009
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,920
Lizally, crafty and fielded.

1010
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:58,920
One of the brainiest players in the game.

1011
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:02,920
The second has a brief converse with Gomez, talks to him a little bit about how to pitch to Bartell, a right-hand hitter.

1012
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:03,920
Moore leads off first.

1013
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,920
The pitch to the plate is swung on and fouled high and deep and back of third.

1014
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:12,920
Roth comes running over Stewart right behind him, and it drops into the seats.

1015
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,920
And amongst the spectators, about three rows back.

1016
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:20,920
We'd like to comment upon the fine world series that's been done by the umpires.

1017
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:29,920
They were very, very alert, running down the foul lines, running after plays, keeping up with the ball, on their toes and hustling all the way through.

1018
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,920
Both league presidents can be very proud of their arbiters.

1019
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:34,920
Accidental foul, back into the giant dugout.

1020
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:43,920
An outside pitch, Bartell took that puzzling half swing, tried to check himself, couldn't get his bat out of the path of the projectile, and swiped it back foul.

1021
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:47,920
Now Dick's behind, nothing and two, no balls, two strikes, one off.

1022
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:51,920
Joe Moore on first base, a very fast runner, and the Yankees lead 4-2.

1023
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,920
Time is called, but Gomez throws anyhow, so disregard the pitch.

1024
01:09:54,920 --> 01:10:04,920
Bartell steps out of the box, umpire arms, bailed the American league, back of the plate, call time, Gomez not seeing the umpires, outstretched right palm through anyhow.

1025
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:06,920
So the pitch doesn't count.

1026
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:08,920
Still nothing and two, Bartell waiting, takes high.

1027
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:10,920
Now it's one and two.

1028
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,920
Going up above the ridge of Dick's nose.

1029
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,920
Artiou pulled a couple steps around toward left.

1030
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:22,920
Grizetti and Lazare make it up between them, who's going to cover second should Moore come down.

1031
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:28,920
Gomez delivers to the plate, Bartell swings, drives the fly ball out into left center field, and Artiou goes back, waves Roth out of the way and makes the catch.

1032
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,920
Uh, Volga out of the way and makes the catch.

1033
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:36,920
That's all for Bartell.

1034
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:57,920
This under applause which is now echoing through the stands is for Melvin Artiou, who put a world series crowd into its highest state of hysteria so far this fall, when he walked up to the plate in the third inning with Bartell on first and hit that home run to put the Giants back on a knee, even putting with the Yankees.

1035
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,920
And now Artiou is coming up for his next appearance after that home run.

1036
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:07,920
Two men are off, Joe Moore is on first. The pitch to Artiou outside, all one.

1037
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:13,920
Gomez apparently is not going to give out anything he can pull toward right field.

1038
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:22,920
Now field is toward right. The pitch is swung on, rolled out to second, Lazare picks it up cleanly, the throw over to Gerec, Artiou's out, still in the last of the fifth inning.

1039
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:29,920
And the score stands the Yankees four runs and the Giants two.

1040
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:31,920
Here's one drop.

1041
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:42,920
And Gomez in that inning after getting way to a slightly bad start when Joe Moore got his base hit, certainly fits his way out of whatever trouble might have been coming up.

1042
01:11:42,920 --> 01:12:01,920
Incidentally, Joe Moore is apparently on his way to become the leading backsman of this 1937 World Series. So far he's batted successfully in each of the games that have been played to date. The right-handed pitchers or left-handed pitchers don't seem to make much difference to Joe.

1043
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:16,920
And most of his base hits have been very solid ones, line size two or over the infield. Because of the fact that Blondie Ryan was used as a pinch hitter in that inning, the Giants will have to start another pitcher.

1044
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:34,920
And coming in from the bullpen now is a man who looks strangely like another left-hander, Al Smith, who will probably take up here. I would call your attention to the fact that Melton in the other game he started, which was the second game of the World Series, went just about as far as he did today.

1045
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:40,920
Although in his first game he was driven out and in this game he was taken out for a pinch hitter.

1046
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:52,920
All right, Red, perhaps you want to describe some of the activities of Al Smith out there, while he's digging in on that red clay mound for territory to see what he can do to the Yankees.

1047
01:12:52,920 --> 01:13:03,920
Thank you a great deal, Warren. Stalky little Al Smith, who has been used primarily as a relief pitcher, his entire tenure with the Giants, is now going down to Harry Danning.

1048
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:16,920
Melock, very cool, has come over from third and is standing on the third base edge of pitcher's mound watching Smith and talking to him as Smith is working out the last kinks in that left arm of his.

1049
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:27,920
And standing aside from batter's box and watching Smith also is George Selkirk, who will be first up in the sixth inning for the Yankees. He'll be followed by Lazar and then my pitcher Gomez.

1050
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:37,920
There's the last of the warmer pitchers and it's thrown down to second base. Whitehead takes it, puts it over to Bartell and Bartell walks it back to the mound, stands talking to Smith.

1051
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:46,920
Selkirk steps in, left hand hitter. Melton has just gone out of sight up into the clubhouse, finished for the afternoon.

1052
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:52,920
Now Bartell goes back to his post and short, the outfield pulls around toward right, Bartell moves a couple steps toward second.

1053
01:13:52,920 --> 01:14:03,920
Right side of the infield as the steps are moving over toward right, Selkirk swings on the first pick at the sharp line, drives foul high up into the upper deck of the right field stands.

1054
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:07,920
Selkirk pulled out on a couple of feet too much.

1055
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:16,920
Oh, a solid smack. Going right up to Al Smith, the relief pitcher for the Giants this afternoon after his first pitch.

1056
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:25,920
Now Selkirk back again. He's twisting the handle of the bat around Vicksland, the palms of his hands to be certain that he has a firm hold on it.

1057
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,920
Smith duly worn, now ready to pitch again to Selkirk, delivers.

1058
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:35,920
George takes a 52 curve low inside after almost going after it, ball one. One and one.

1059
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:39,920
Wormsby is behind the plate this afternoon for the American League.

1060
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:50,920
Ma is at first, Maisel at second, and Stewart is at third. The umpires, the same assignments this afternoon as for the first game of the series.

1061
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:59,920
This is the fifth game. Smith down out of his stretch, delivers a change of pace low outside for ball two. Two and one.

1062
01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:05,920
The Yankees are ahead, four to two.

1063
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:09,920
Smith, that is Danning's sign a moment. Down a swinging stretch, down.

1064
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,920
Smith is outside, the curve did not stay on. Three and one.

1065
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:17,920
Al takes a deep breath, pushes his lips out for the moment.

1066
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:23,920
Time's called, Selkirk steps out of the box. Now Twinkle Toes in again, he's turned slightly toward right field.

1067
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:31,920
Right field a ripple, back as deep as the wall will commit. Selkirk takes a change of pace in there for call strike two.

1068
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:43,920
Not a slow ball, but Smith slowed down his curve. Selkirk off his timing, did not go after it, after wriggling his shoulders at the pitch. Three and two.

1069
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:47,920
As the ground ball rolls down, McCoffee up with it and beats Selkirk to the bag easily.

1070
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:52,920
Selkirk out by four steps, and it's one up and one away as we start the sixth inning.

1071
01:15:52,920 --> 01:16:01,920
Selkirk certainly took a few years off of the giant ruders here at the Polo Grounds lives.

1072
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:06,920
And he hits Smith's first pitch of the sixth inning, a whistling high drive that just was full foul.

1073
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,920
John Brennan is now throwing in the giant bullpen.

1074
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,920
The interrupter is Tony Lozare, who has one for two, a tremendous triple his last trip.

1075
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:19,920
And Lozare cannot get out of the way of an inside pitch that hits him on the left knee.

1076
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:25,920
Tony limps for about one step and then starts walking off down toward first.

1077
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:31,920
Shakes it off, he doesn't bother to lean over and rub it.

1078
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:36,920
That's the first hit batter in the series, Al Smith with Lozare.

1079
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:40,920
On first base, hitting him on the left knee.

1080
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:48,920
Tony is walking around, working out that left knee, letting his body weight get out on a gingerly.

1081
01:16:48,920 --> 01:17:00,920
Tony walks off first.

1082
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:04,920
Gomez, waiting. Gomez is very, very happy.

1083
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:09,920
He singled in the fifth inning and drove in a run, hitting left handed.

1084
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:10,920
Runs down toward third.

1085
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:15,920
Ott picks it up, they throw it to second base in time for a force on Lozare.

1086
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:19,920
The Yankee strategy was to have the pitcher butt, which Gomez did.

1087
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:28,920
And the oddity of it is that Gomez looked to be a much, much better batter than the rest of his Yankee teammates who are supposed to know how to do such tricks.

1088
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:38,920
Gomez pushing a butt right down toward third, Ott suspicious of it, came in on the pitch, picked it up and threw down to second for a force on Lozare.

1089
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:43,920
Gomez with a sacrifice field of choice, which counts as an official trip to the plate, is now at first base.

1090
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,920
He has his sweater on.

1091
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:50,920
Very wet. Yankee's ahead by two runs and the hitter is Crezetti.

1092
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:56,920
Setting right handed, takes a curve outside, ball one.

1093
01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:02,920
A few pulled a little around toward left.

1094
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,920
Montell's a step down toward third.

1095
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:11,920
Crezetti takes a curve that's neatly in, it counts even, one and one.

1096
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:16,920
Gomez, who relies mainly on his curve ball.

1097
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:21,920
He has curves at several speeds. He's glad to show the boys any time they want a demonstration.

1098
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:23,920
Ducks at first, not pitches.

1099
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,920
He misses that one low outside, two and one. Two balls, one strike.

1100
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:31,920
Yankees four, Giants two.

1101
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:35,920
This is the top of the six.

1102
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:39,920
Two of the Rupert rifles have been fired at blank.

1103
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,920
Gomez is the only base run at the moment.

1104
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:46,920
Leading off first, Joe McCartney rolls the call against it. Smith carefully pitches the position, delivers.

1105
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:50,920
Crezetti bounces slowly down toward third. Smith runs over, picks it up, goes back to first.

1106
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,920
In time by a half step.

1107
01:18:53,920 --> 01:19:00,920
A slow dying top roller down toward third, which Smith himself could get to a step before Ahn.

1108
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:04,920
And that step difference made the difference on the out at first base.

1109
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,920
That's all for the top of the six. One.

1110
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:14,920
The red was one of the finest bits of feeling that the series has developed to date.

1111
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:18,920
Wasn't anything spectacular about it, but for all the elements that were required.

1112
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,920
And Smith getting over there towards the line after that hit.

1113
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,920
And keep from sliding in that sort of soggy ground.

1114
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:31,920
Then ride himself, get the ball over to first base in time to keep Crezetti from getting an infield hit.

1115
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:35,920
All those things combined to make that quite a play.

1116
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:40,920
And at this point, I would say that this World Series is nineteen hundred thirty seven.

1117
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,920
That certainly produced a lot of great plays.

1118
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:48,920
Every game has seen some splendid feelings.

1119
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:52,920
Things on the part of individuals on both sides.

1120
01:19:52,920 --> 01:20:01,920
And right at this moment, although the Yankees are leading four to two and the game is past the halfway mark.

1121
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,920
One never knows what might develop.

1122
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:09,920
The Yankees are coming to bat now with the middle part of their batting order.

1123
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:13,920
Preparing to face lefty Gomez and we shall see what we shall see.

1124
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:21,920
All right, first up in the last of the sixth inning, Ripple, Levo, McCoffee.

1125
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:25,920
Gomez has not finished throwing down his preliminary pitches to Bill Dickies yet.

1126
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:27,920
He has one or two more left.

1127
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:33,920
On fire, Orensby standing in back of Dickie, holding his mask in his hand, design the procedure.

1128
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:39,920
Vasari is stationed patiently down at second base, waiting for the last of the pitches and the return to him by Dickie.

1129
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:40,920
There it is.

1130
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:41,920
Twenty-fifths are down to short.

1131
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,920
Crisetti passes it on to Roff, the third baseman.

1132
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:47,920
Gomez following the flight of the balls, is in position to take it.

1133
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:49,920
This soon as Roff puts it over to him.

1134
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:52,920
Now stepping in is Ripple, who has one for two this afternoon.

1135
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,920
Getting left handed, he takes the fastball inside.

1136
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:57,920
All one.

1137
01:20:57,920 --> 01:20:58,920
Outgives toward right.

1138
01:20:58,920 --> 01:20:59,920
One and nothing to Ripple.

1139
01:20:59,920 --> 01:21:00,920
First up, last of the sixth.

1140
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:02,920
The Giants two runs behind.

1141
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:03,920
Gomez shoots it down.

1142
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,920
Ripple swings it to line drive over to get his head taped out in the left field.

1143
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:08,920
A whistling single.

1144
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:15,920
And Ripple with his second single is on first base, opening up the last off the sixth inning.

1145
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:20,920
A sharp single to left field.

1146
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:23,920
That's hit number seven for the Giants.

1147
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:27,920
And it's hit number thirteen in the ball game.

1148
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:28,920
What will it mean?

1149
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,920
What will it lead to?

1150
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,920
Up now is big, blonde, hand cleaver, right hand hitter.

1151
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:40,920
The pitch is a curve breaking sharply down in for a called strike.

1152
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,920
Gomez fixes his uniform a moment.

1153
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:47,920
Licks the fingers quickly of his left hand.

1154
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:49,920
The infield is straight away.

1155
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:51,920
Upper half step around second.

1156
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:53,920
The outfield is straight away.

1157
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,920
Garry holds first against Ripple.

1158
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,920
Inside for ball one.

1159
01:21:58,920 --> 01:21:59,920
One and one.

1160
01:21:59,920 --> 01:22:04,920
One ball, one strike.

1161
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,920
Leaver, one and a slip pick, all for figure.

1162
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:12,920
Tap the end of his pat down on the plate and straightens out.

1163
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:13,920
Gomez fires.

1164
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:15,920
Leaver swings at the foul back off the genetic.

1165
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:17,920
Straight back.

1166
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:18,920
One and two.

1167
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:21,920
Tank's behind.

1168
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:27,920
Tank, one of the few ball players in World Series history to have two hits and one inning.

1169
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:29,920
Those are his two hits for the series and he got them both.

1170
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:30,920
The Giants beginning yesterday.

1171
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:31,920
Gomez pitches.

1172
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:36,920
Leaver swings as a foul hits down onto the plate and foul on the ground and back of third.

1173
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:43,920
Schneider, the Giants third base coach, picks it up.

1174
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:50,920
That field still remains straight away.

1175
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:52,920
Gomez ready to go.

1176
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:53,920
Delivers.

1177
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:57,920
Leaver swings as they hit into left center field.

1178
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:02,920
Around second goes Ripple and when the ball is momentarily comboed by DiMaggio, he hits the third.

1179
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,920
And then when Joe picks it up, he ducks right back to second.

1180
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:10,920
That was one of these, I go this way, I go that way and finally I stay where I am.

1181
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:16,920
Ripple advances to second as Leaver hits a solid single out into left center field.

1182
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,920
DiMaggio picking it up momentarily and Ripple started the third.

1183
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,920
And then when he saw Joe recovering, he immediately held off.

1184
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:32,920
And McCoffee has two pitches in the ball pen throwing hurriedly.

1185
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:38,920
They look from this distance to be Murphy and Wicker.

1186
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:39,920
No money out.

1187
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,920
The Giants have the tying runs on in the last of the sixth inning.

1188
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,920
And the hitter is Jack McCoffee.

1189
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:46,920
The Yankee infield is pulled up looking for a butt.

1190
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:51,920
There it is and it's fouled down along the third base line.

1191
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:57,920
McCoffee trying to sacrifice the two Giants runners from first and second to second and third

1192
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:01,920
to put them both in position to be scored on a base hit.

1193
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:06,920
That's the strategy at the moment or was the strategy on that last pitch.

1194
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:10,920
Snyder, the third base coach, called Ripple to run down the third.

1195
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:14,920
While the Yankees are having a confab around pitches mound,

1196
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:16,920
Ripple comes down and Snyder tells him personally.

1197
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:24,920
Evidently he's not going to trust the sides on what this next move is to be.

1198
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:30,920
The tying runs along for the Giants, the underdogs, to a game lead battling back.

1199
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:32,920
The Yankees lead four to two.

1200
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:33,920
This is the last of the sixth.

1201
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:34,920
Nobody out and with singles.

1202
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:36,920
Ripple is on second and Leaver on first.

1203
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:37,920
The pitch to McCoffee is butted.

1204
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:38,920
This one toward the pitcher.

1205
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:39,920
Gomez feels it.

1206
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:40,920
Throws over to third and times for a fourth.

1207
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:41,920
That's third.

1208
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:43,920
That's the only play.

1209
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,920
Gomez handling McCoffee's bunt which was butted straight back down the middle.

1210
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:55,920
Throwing it over to Red Rock for a force by two steps on Ripple who was coming down from second.

1211
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:59,920
For you have to score McCoffee as a sacrifice field of choice.

1212
01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:06,920
Advanced Leaver on the play down to second base and have Ripple force that third.

1213
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:07,920
Gomez, two off.

1214
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:11,920
The tying runs are still on but now one man is out.

1215
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:13,920
Let's see how the Yankees play for this.

1216
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,920
They're pulling their infield back straight away.

1217
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,920
Evidently playing for a double play.

1218
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:21,920
The other is Danning.

1219
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:23,920
That's right handed.

1220
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:24,920
Gomez delivers.

1221
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:26,920
Danning swings and misses.

1222
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:32,920
And he went after that one like a hungry man after food when he hasn't tasted in three days.

1223
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:33,920
Strike one.

1224
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:39,920
Danning after swinging on that pitch and missing it asks on fire Aubry to examine it.

1225
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:42,920
Put's the on fire. That's it.

1226
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:47,920
And finds the ball well qualified to remain in play.

1227
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:48,920
Leaver leading off second.

1228
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:49,920
McCoffee off first.

1229
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:56,920
Danning swings at the high foul back into the second back to the stands.

1230
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:57,920
Nothing and two.

1231
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,920
Gomez has now jumped ahead with his first two pitches on Harry Danning.

1232
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,920
Danning going after both of them.

1233
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,920
Danning is punishing a big wad of gum.

1234
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:11,920
Chewing steadily, methodically.

1235
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,920
Gomez out of position. Delivers Danning swings and misses.

1236
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:19,920
Strike three.

1237
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:30,920
Gomez ball down and with three pitches executed Danning to accomplish his sixth striking fee of the afternoon.

1238
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:32,920
The outfield has to be straight away on Danning.

1239
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:37,920
Gomez now shifts sharply toward right despite the fact that Whitehead is a right hand hitter.

1240
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:38,920
They don't play him to pro.

1241
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:40,920
Burgess Whitehead takes a strike.

1242
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:44,920
Gomez taking a wicked curve down in there.

1243
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:49,920
Gomez bearing down Brunninger now in this clutch here in the last of the sixth.

1244
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:50,920
Delivers.

1245
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:54,920
There's the ground ball rolled down to a second base for Lozare who's up with it plays over to Gehrig.

1246
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:56,920
That's Hall for Burgess Whitehead.

1247
01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:02,920
And so ends the giant threat of getting back on an equal plane with the Yankees in the ballgame.

1248
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:07,920
And at the end of six innings the Yankees are still ahead by their two runs, four to two.

1249
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:20,920
The Yankees are still ahead but rather because of some of the most effective touching in the pinch by Gomez that the series has produced as yet.

1250
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:27,920
Those two runners on base and no one out certainly looked as if the Giants were going to go somewhere.

1251
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:35,920
So that when he had to Gomez certainly came in there with some fine pitching in that inning as he did in his first game.

1252
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:43,920
And that is one of the reasons I suppose why it is that up to the present time Gomez has never been defeated in a World Series ballgame.

1253
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:45,920
He's doing all right today too.

1254
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:46,920
All right Ed.

1255
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:53,920
Thanks Warren. Another stop to seventh inning where the Yankees coming to bat against the Leafs pitcher Al Smith.

1256
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:55,920
Red Rolf is the first hitter.

1257
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:57,920
DiMaggio and Gehrig in line.

1258
01:27:57,920 --> 01:27:59,920
Rolf getting left handed in the crouch.

1259
01:27:59,920 --> 01:28:00,920
The Giants pull to the right.

1260
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:01,920
Red takes a strike.

1261
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:03,920
Smith puts the curve right down and over.

1262
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:04,920
Preaching that plate.

1263
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:07,920
Strike one called.

1264
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:09,920
Al takes the sign from Banning.

1265
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:11,920
Gehrig comes out of his crouch and sets his admitted target.

1266
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:12,920
Rolf swings.

1267
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,920
Triggers it down towards third. Ott picks it up to throw it to first. It's going to be close.

1268
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:17,920
It's entire mile half step.

1269
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:19,920
Rolf is out.

1270
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:22,920
He hits that one apparently off the end of his bat.

1271
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:24,920
Roll it down towards third.

1272
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:31,920
One up and one away for the Yankees starting to seventh.

1273
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:34,920
A little left hander who's been leaving Al Smith.

1274
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:38,920
He came on to start the sixth inning after starting pitcher Melton gave way for a pinch hitter.

1275
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:40,920
He's now ready to pitch to DiMaggio.

1276
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:41,920
Joe takes a strike.

1277
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:43,920
That was a fast ball just above the knees.

1278
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:45,920
Just a half an inch above the knees.

1279
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:47,920
Strike one called.

1280
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:51,920
DiMaggio has one for three this afternoon and what a blow that one was.

1281
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:52,920
Home run.

1282
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:53,920
Alfield what left in deep.

1283
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:55,920
Joe swings and misses.

1284
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:59,920
Well that home run was still firmly planted in his mind's eye.

1285
01:28:59,920 --> 01:29:05,920
As though that were the stars from which to hit his wagon.

1286
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:06,920
Now Smith ahead.

1287
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:07,920
Nothing in two.

1288
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:08,920
One out.

1289
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:10,920
Nobody on him to seventh.

1290
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:11,920
Over his head and down.

1291
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:12,920
It's low.

1292
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:14,920
Danning tries to block it but it bounce away from him.

1293
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:15,920
Doesn't make any difference.

1294
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:16,920
Nobody's on.

1295
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:17,920
Ball one.

1296
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:20,920
One and two.

1297
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:23,920
DiMaggio picks up a little of the moist clay.

1298
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:25,920
Rubs it into the palms of his hands.

1299
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:26,920
Now gets a hold of the bat.

1300
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:28,920
Bounces it down two or three times on the plate.

1301
01:29:28,920 --> 01:29:31,920
Straightens up.

1302
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:33,920
Then a side from one front.

1303
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:34,920
Stands like an automaton.

1304
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:36,920
Very popular with that bat caught high behind his right ear.

1305
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:37,920
Swings.

1306
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:38,920
Bounce it.

1307
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:40,920
He's got it played and up against him.

1308
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:42,920
Count remains one and two.

1309
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:43,920
Ball still in play.

1310
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:44,920
Danning going out.

1311
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:45,920
Picking it up.

1312
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:46,920
Going down to Ahtu.

1313
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:52,920
Swoops it quickly over to Al Smith.

1314
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:53,920
John Brennan.

1315
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:54,920
Drawing.

1316
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:55,920
And the giant bullfin.

1317
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:57,920
Nobody working in the Yankee one.

1318
01:29:57,920 --> 01:29:58,920
Smith pitching.

1319
01:29:58,920 --> 01:29:59,920
Right swing swinging.

1320
01:29:59,920 --> 01:30:01,920
A low curve ball on the outside.

1321
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:03,920
DiMaggio is quick.

1322
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:05,920
That's the first back out for Al Smith.

1323
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:08,920
And it's the sixth Yankee to be banned this afternoon.

1324
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:15,920
All told there have been 12 strikeouts so far in this fifth World Series ball game of 1937.

1325
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:18,920
In which the Yankees are leading 4-2.

1326
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:23,920
Here is Luke Garrick who hammered a double his last time up in that Yankee fifth when they went ahead.

1327
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:24,920
Garrick getting left at it.

1328
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:27,920
Takes a strike.

1329
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:29,920
I believe that's the fastest ball that Smith has thrown.

1330
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:31,920
He whips it down on the inside.

1331
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:34,920
Just under the waistline.

1332
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:36,920
Yatsiel Sharper toward right and deep.

1333
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:37,920
Big powerhouse hitter waiting.

1334
01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:38,920
Takes outside.

1335
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:39,920
That one didn't stay on.

1336
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:43,920
One and one.

1337
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:45,920
Combs behind first.

1338
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:46,920
Fletcher behind third.

1339
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:47,920
Both talking it up.

1340
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:48,920
Yelling encouragement to Garrick.

1341
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:52,920
He stands there quietly almost spotty late.

1342
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:53,920
He's ready.

1343
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:54,920
Swing.

1344
01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:55,920
As the line dives deep under the right ripper coming in.

1345
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:56,920
Can't get it.

1346
01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:57,920
Smith the ball bounds over his head.

1347
01:30:57,920 --> 01:30:58,920
Goes back against the wall.

1348
01:30:58,920 --> 01:30:59,920
Garrick is around first.

1349
01:30:59,920 --> 01:31:01,920
There he goes for second into the bullfin.

1350
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:02,920
Goes able-picked it up.

1351
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:03,920
Garrick is coming toward third.

1352
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:04,920
Right head goes out and takes the throw in.

1353
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:08,920
And Garrick holds up that third base with a triple.

1354
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:11,920
It has to be scored as a triple.

1355
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:17,920
Garrick hit a tremendously fast traveling low line drive straight out into right field.

1356
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:21,920
Ripple came running in and then saw he could not possibly catch it.

1357
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:26,920
And so he tried to check himself to take it easily on the first foul without having to play the ball trapped.

1358
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:33,920
But as you know the Polo grounds is very, very wet after an all night and a partially morning rain.

1359
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:39,920
And when Ripple tried to put the brakes on, well the spikes weren't long enough.

1360
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:40,920
His feet went out from under him.

1361
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:42,920
He fell flat up on his back.

1362
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:44,920
And Garrick's ball bounced squarely over him.

1363
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:48,920
Went up against the wall, down into the giant bullfin and was up to leave it to retrieve it.

1364
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:50,920
A triple for Garrick.

1365
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:51,920
Here in the seventh with two out.

1366
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:54,920
And now the batter is Bill Dickey getting left handed.

1367
01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:59,920
Bill tries to push a butt and it goes foul down toward third base.

1368
01:31:59,920 --> 01:32:10,920
So Gomez's fair butt of the sixth inning, even if it did not accomplish its desired result, becomes more and more momentous.

1369
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:15,920
Luke Garrick with a sharp triple reading down off third.

1370
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:17,920
Dickey up there, one strike again.

1371
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:19,920
That's the first hit off Al Smith.

1372
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:22,920
And it's the seventh hit for the Yankees this afternoon.

1373
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:24,920
The Giants have eight blows.

1374
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:26,920
Dickey waiting, hasn't hit today's swing.

1375
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:29,920
There's a high fireball, felt it deep in the center.

1376
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:32,920
Lieber is back waiting and he has it.

1377
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:36,920
That's all for the third of the top of the seventh.

1378
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:38,920
No runs.

1379
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:39,920
One hit.

1380
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:47,920
And it's still four to two the Yankees with the Giants coming in for what they hope will be their half of the lucky seventh.

1381
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:50,920
And here's more than half of the Mike Warren Brown.

1382
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:51,920
Thank you, Red.

1383
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:57,920
Well, it doesn't seem as though we can have a single half inning in this ball game without getting some manner of a thrill.

1384
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:01,920
That was one of the high points of the game, certainly.

1385
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:04,920
That ball that Garrick lined out there into right field.

1386
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:13,920
And the Giants, after all sorts of difficulties out there, really did do some remarkable work in holding that to three bases.

1387
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:20,920
Perhaps Garrick might have kept on coming and given us a little more excitement down here in front of us at the home plate.

1388
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:27,920
But Hank Lieber got over there in the bullpen after Jimmy Ripple was taken out of the play by falling down.

1389
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:42,920
The excitement contingent upon the racing of Lieber into the bullpen and the racing of Garrick around the bases with the possibility at first of a home run inside of the grounds certainly had everybody up and yelling around here.

1390
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:47,920
The pitching of Smith has been really effective.

1391
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:54,920
He's been in there for two innings now and outside of that ball which Garrick landed on him, he hasn't been hit hard at all.

1392
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:59,920
That was the only base hit and most of the others that batted against him fell to hit solidly.

1393
01:33:59,920 --> 01:34:07,920
We're having a pinch hitter now for the Giants as they come to bat in their half and I'll turn the microphone back to Red.

1394
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:18,920
Benning instead of Al Smith, the relief pitcher who took Melton's place is Gus Mancuso who has a broken right little finger but he's hitting nevertheless.

1395
01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:30,920
He takes high outside and it's ball one for the Swarthaville Giant captain, Mancuso, who split the first bone in his right little finger.

1396
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:40,920
Gus takes a strike, bonehead coming right in there with it, one and one, Gus batting right handed.

1397
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:47,920
Mancuso steps, goes out on a crouch, takes outside, fast ball that did not break down on in.

1398
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:50,920
Two and one, first shot up to the last of the seven.

1399
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:53,920
The outfield is straight away on Mancuso.

1400
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:56,920
The infield is playing straight away also.

1401
01:34:56,920 --> 01:35:02,920
The office perhaps just a little wide at third but he seems to place third a little wider than most third basemen anyhow.

1402
01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:07,920
Bonehead comes down with that left arm, outside and high for ball three.

1403
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:11,920
We're in one, the Mancuso, who has yet to offer.

1404
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:16,920
Gus has just a slight bandage over the end of his right little finger.

1405
01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:18,920
If he didn't look very closely you wouldn't detect him.

1406
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:20,920
Gus has been soaking that finger.

1407
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:25,920
It seems like 24 hours every day in plenty of water trying to get the swelling down.

1408
01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:28,920
Gus takes strike two, fast ball is pulled right through.

1409
01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:40,920
Three and two, Mancuso, pinch hitting, starting off the last of the seven.

1410
01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:42,920
The pitch, three-two, is hung on.

1411
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:46,920
It's a high fly ball into right center, circle, gun-rid and has it.

1412
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:52,920
Pinch hitter Mancuso is out.

1413
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:57,920
Now it's one away, starting the giant half of the seventh to last of the seventh.

1414
01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:03,920
The ball game stands at four to two in favor of the American Lakers.

1415
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:08,920
Atop of the Orland, Joe Moore, who has eight hits in this series out of 21 trips.

1416
01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:11,920
He has the most hits of any ball player on either side of the fence.

1417
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:16,920
Betting left-handed, takes inside, one that caused him to lean back but did not break down over the plate.

1418
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:19,920
Ball one.

1419
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:22,920
Moore has two singles out of three tries today.

1420
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:24,920
So if she sticks somewhat, swings and misses.

1421
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:29,920
Going for one in there on the fingers, one and one.

1422
01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:34,920
Luque, one of the greatest of the Cuban ball players in the major leagues.

1423
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,920
The Giants coached first, Snider behind third.

1424
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:43,920
Moore takes inside, getting back from it to ball two, two and one.

1425
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:44,920
That field of Oge is straight away.

1426
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:48,920
Center field of DiMaggio is about four steps over toward right center.

1427
01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:51,920
That's a trick that's straight away in right.

1428
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:55,920
Moore swings and hits a line drive to right center field, which is in there for a hit.

1429
01:36:55,920 --> 01:37:00,920
Joe's third of this ball game this afternoon.

1430
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:04,920
His third blow, this one going out into left center field.

1431
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:12,920
And that gives Moore three for four today and gives him nine hits out of 22 tries.

1432
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:17,920
Now there seems to be an electric wave of excitement surging through the polo grounds.

1433
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:21,920
It is more or less edge out from the far end of their seats.

1434
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:26,920
They feel that something might be ready to pop or happen.

1435
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:29,920
Big Bartel's up there, running right handed.

1436
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:31,920
Swings and fouls back into the stands.

1437
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:34,920
The upper deck behind home, strike one.

1438
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:41,920
It's a four to two ball game at the moment in favor of the Yankees.

1439
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:43,920
With one out and the last to the seven.

1440
01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:45,920
Joe Moore is on first base for the Giants.

1441
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:49,920
Gerrig holds the corner. The pitch to Bartel is swung on, lifted high and short.

1442
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:53,920
In back of shortstop, Crisetti under it and he has it.

1443
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:58,920
Then he drops it deliberately and throws over to second baseman, Lazzari.

1444
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:05,920
And so the out is on Moore, who is thereby forced at second base.

1445
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:09,920
And Bartel is at first.

1446
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:12,920
The infield fly rule does not come up on that situation.

1447
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:18,920
What happens is this, Crisetti deliberately dropped that pop by Bartel.

1448
01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:22,920
The idea was, because it was such an easy looking play from the start,

1449
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,920
Crisetti hoped that Bartel would not be running it out.

1450
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:30,920
And thereby, if he was not, they might have gotten a double play.

1451
01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:34,920
As it is, Moore is forced to second base, short to second, and Bartel is the runner in first.

1452
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:38,920
The first pitch to Melat, low outside, the ball won.

1453
01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:42,920
And now the stage is set in the seventh, as it was in the third, except for one difference.

1454
01:38:42,920 --> 01:38:45,920
One was out in the third, now two are out in the seventh.

1455
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:48,920
Ott takes ball two, one thrown to the point of his shoulder,

1456
01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:51,920
which drives him down to a knee, getting out of the way, and it's two-nothing.

1457
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:56,920
Ott is at the plate, Bartel is at first base, and the Giants are two runs behind.

1458
01:38:56,920 --> 01:38:59,920
Ott remedied that in the third. Can he do it in the seventh?

1459
01:38:59,920 --> 01:39:05,920
He takes high inside under the chin, ball three.

1460
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:12,920
And it's three-nothing to Melat.

1461
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,920
The pitch is inside for ball four.

1462
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:19,920
Gomez gives up his first pass on the ball game,

1463
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:23,920
walking Melat to put the tying run at first base.

1464
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:27,920
Bartel scrolls on down to second.

1465
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:30,920
Bartel at second, out at first, and Jimmy Ruppel has been hit on.

1466
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:32,920
He has two for three this afternoon.

1467
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:35,920
He has five blows out of 16 tries in the series.

1468
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:38,920
Ruppel stands at the plate, a sturdy left-hand swinger.

1469
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:46,920
Gomez delivers outside for ball one.

1470
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:51,920
Accompy has two of his right-handers warming up in his bullpen now for the Yankees.

1471
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:55,920
Gomez delivers, Ruppel takes inside against him for ball two.

1472
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:58,920
Gomez is having difficulty with his control.

1473
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:02,920
He has not drawn a strike on any of his last six tries.

1474
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:04,920
On at first, the tying run.

1475
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:07,920
Bartel at second, two off in the last of the seventh.

1476
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:11,920
The pitch now, two-nothing. He's taken for ball three up against Ruppel.

1477
01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:14,920
And it's three and all to Jimmy Ruppel.

1478
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:18,920
One more pitch and it will be wide, and the bases will be filled.

1479
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:21,920
The tying run pushed down two seconds.

1480
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:26,920
However, there will be a deliberation before this fourth pitch to Ruppel.

1481
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:31,920
Luke Gehrig, the captain, comes walking down and talks to catcher Bill Dickey.

1482
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:35,920
Rainey Second baseman Lazare comes over to the mound along with Third baseman Red Rall

1483
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:39,920
to talk to pitcher Gomez.

1484
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:44,920
Now Gehrig goes down toward first.

1485
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:46,920
Gomez steps back on the pitcher's plate.

1486
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:48,920
Lazare goes walking back to second.

1487
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:50,920
Presetti takes his depth of short.

1488
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:52,920
Rall gets position on third.

1489
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:53,920
It's three-nothing to Ruppel.

1490
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:57,920
The pitch, strike one call, right in there.

1491
01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:02,920
Gomez had no choice but to try and throw a straight one, straight as a string,

1492
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:03,920
two as a dock.

1493
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:04,920
That it was.

1494
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:06,920
Now field toward right, three and one.

1495
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:07,920
Ruppel hit this one. Let's see.

1496
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:11,920
He takes it. It's off, strike two.

1497
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:13,920
Three and two.

1498
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:15,920
Gomez takes a look out to the ball pit.

1499
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:19,920
It's good to say, well, I'm glad to know you guys are out there, but I hope I don't need you.

1500
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:21,920
Now the pitch is the runner's break is swung on.

1501
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:24,920
Down to Lazare who's up with it over to Frank that throws the ripple

1502
01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:28,920
and two ends the threat in the last of the seven-tenning.

1503
01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:32,920
And the ballgame stands at the end of seven hectic split-arounds,

1504
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:37,920
four for the American League Yankees and two for the National League Giants.

1505
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:42,920
We pause for station identification.

1506
01:41:42,920 --> 01:41:44,920
WMAQ Chicago.

1507
01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:47,920
Back in the NBC booth in the parlor grounds

1508
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:51,920
where the New York Yankees and Giants are engaged in their World Series game.

1509
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:55,920
The Yankees leading at the present time four to two.

1510
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:58,920
The Giants just having missed another opportunity

1511
01:41:58,920 --> 01:42:03,920
in their half of the seventh getting someplace and getting the score tied.

1512
01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:08,920
Once again as in the sixth inning, the Giants had two men on bases

1513
01:42:08,920 --> 01:42:13,920
and that was the way the inning ended with the two men still on bases.

1514
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:16,920
The necessary hit was not forthcoming.

1515
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:19,920
Jimmy Ripple who was up there in the pinch hit the ball hard

1516
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:25,920
but directly at Tony Lazare and thus Vernon Gomez in these last two innings

1517
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:30,920
having given the Giants opportunities to get the score squared

1518
01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:34,920
certainly clamped down on them when it really began to get serious.

1519
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:38,920
However, these two innings have provided a rather large crowd

1520
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:42,920
for a rather chilly afternoon here at the parlor grounds.

1521
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:48,920
A little bit more excitement to add to what has been created ever since the game started.

1522
01:42:48,920 --> 01:42:52,920
This is far and away the most interesting game of the entire series

1523
01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:56,920
and that interest has been sustained from start right to the present time.

1524
01:42:56,920 --> 01:43:01,920
We're going into the eighth inning now and Red Barber it's your turn.

1525
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:04,920
Thank you Warren and it's now Don Brennan's turn out there on the mound

1526
01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:08,920
to make his second relief appearance in this World Series.

1527
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:12,920
Don Brennan who spent most of his years in baseball as property of the Yankees

1528
01:43:12,920 --> 01:43:16,920
and now with the Giants gets his first chance to pitch against the Yankees.

1529
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:19,920
Brennan is ready to pitch to hold first up in the eighth inning.

1530
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:22,920
The Yankees lead 4-2. Right hand to Brennan delivers.

1531
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:24,920
The curve ball is outside. Ball runs.

1532
01:43:24,920 --> 01:43:31,920
Don fits the ninth inning Friday and set down Vicki Selkirk and Hogan order.

1533
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:33,920
He's ready for his second pitch now to hold.

1534
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:38,920
Jenna Crouch hitting right hand to hold swings and misses above it for Spike one, one and one.

1535
01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:41,920
Brennan very cool, very smart.

1536
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:43,920
He has a great deal of stuff.

1537
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:46,920
He relies on his control and on his knowledge of hitters weaknesses.

1538
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:49,920
He delivers. It's a fast ball in there.

1539
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:53,920
Spike two, one and two.

1540
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:55,920
Hold first up in the eighth.

1541
01:43:55,920 --> 01:43:59,920
Hogan this afternoon has one blow out of three tries.

1542
01:43:59,920 --> 01:44:02,920
That was a home run first up in the second inning.

1543
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:04,920
That was the first score of the afternoon.

1544
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:07,920
Don delivers. A curve which is swung on, lifted deep out on the left.

1545
01:44:07,920 --> 01:44:12,920
Jomar is going back, back, back, back and leaning against the wall he makes the catch.

1546
01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:16,920
Right against the 414 foot distance side.

1547
01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:25,920
Jomar, 414 feet away from home plate, leaned way back up against the boards and made the catch.

1548
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:29,920
That's all for hold.

1549
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:32,920
And the fielding plays are excellent.

1550
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:34,920
Continuous pace.

1551
01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:42,920
And I believe we are approaching even higher hysterical heights in this World Series ball game, the fifth of 1937.

1552
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:46,920
Now it's one out in the top of the eighth and the batter is Selkirk hitting left handed.

1553
01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:48,920
He hasn't hit this afternoon out of three tries.

1554
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:51,920
He failed to get a hit yesterday.

1555
01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:53,920
George Brenning left handed.

1556
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:55,920
Probably played from behind.

1557
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:56,920
Selkirk swinging.

1558
01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:59,920
Jomar hit out of the right field. Ruppel stays on his feet this time.

1559
01:44:59,920 --> 01:45:00,920
Chops it.

1560
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:04,920
The throw is in the second and Selkirk with a single holds up at first base.

1561
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:08,920
Single in the right for George Selkirk.

1562
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:12,920
That is hit number eight for the Yankees.

1563
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:13,920
Good afternoon.

1564
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:20,920
The amount of now is Tony Lozari who hit a tremendous 415 foot on the fly triple in the fifth inning.

1565
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:25,920
You know this is a ball park that is 25 straight through the middle.

1566
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:28,920
Lozari hitting right habit.

1567
01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:29,920
Choking that stick drastically.

1568
01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:31,920
The outfield is straight away.

1569
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:32,920
Infield up around second.

1570
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:35,920
Strike one called.

1571
01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:36,920
Right in.

1572
01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:38,920
Up the knees.

1573
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:39,920
One out.

1574
01:45:39,920 --> 01:45:41,920
Selkirk on first.

1575
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:42,920
McCarvey holds the corner.

1576
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:43,920
John takes the sign.

1577
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:48,920
Turn that forward again.

1578
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:51,920
Turning the show of emotion and gets ready down in the pitcher position.

1579
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:53,920
Delivers outside as the pitch out but there's no throw to first.

1580
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:56,920
As McCarvey was not back on the bag.

1581
01:45:56,920 --> 01:46:02,920
And thanks to Selkirk was closer to first base than McCarvey.

1582
01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:04,920
One and one to Lozari.

1583
01:46:04,920 --> 01:46:05,920
Four to two.

1584
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:07,920
Play for the Yankees over the Giants.

1585
01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:12,920
A curve that misses the outside corner not holding on.

1586
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:15,920
Lozari goes ahead on the count two and one.

1587
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:22,920
Melat is playing back fairly deep at third and a little bit over to the line.

1588
01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:23,920
Throw to first by Brennan.

1589
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:26,920
Holding Selkirk on.

1590
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:29,920
Bartell spoke to Whitehead.

1591
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:31,920
Rest of the keystone combination for the Giants.

1592
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,920
Behind the back of his glove he does it again now.

1593
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:36,920
Telling Whitehead who's going to cover second.

1594
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:37,920
Should Selkirk come down.

1595
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:39,920
A high fly ball into short left field.

1596
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:41,920
Jorma is on his mule coming in fast.

1597
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:45,920
But it's short stop Bartell back for the catch.

1598
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:49,920
Lozari hits sky high.

1599
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:52,920
Up into the clearing clouds of the afternoon.

1600
01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:57,920
The threat of rain which came up at the start of the fifth inning when a few mystery drop spells

1601
01:46:57,920 --> 01:46:58,920
appears to have been vanished.

1602
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:00,920
No one is thinking of rain any longer.

1603
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:03,920
That's two out in the eighth.

1604
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:05,920
The hitter will be Gomez.

1605
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:08,920
There he is coming up to the plate.

1606
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:11,920
Back to that candid.

1607
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:13,920
He's south-pouish all the way through.

1608
01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:17,920
Banning goes out to talk to Brennan.

1609
01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:21,920
Gomez standing a third of the way out in front of home plate.

1610
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:24,920
Talking for the moment.

1611
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:30,920
Gomez stands quietly leaning on his back to a well-propped.

1612
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:34,920
Banning touches back on home plate.

1613
01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:36,920
Brennan sets out there on the mound.

1614
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:38,920
Selkirk ready to go on anything.

1615
01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:40,920
Two out, leaps way down off first.

1616
01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:42,920
The outfield is full court right and in close.

1617
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:44,920
Gomez crotches, takes inside.

1618
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:46,920
The knees for ball one.

1619
01:47:46,920 --> 01:47:49,920
Gomez has a hit.

1620
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:52,920
If he can win this ball game, there will be no holding him tonight.

1621
01:47:52,920 --> 01:47:56,920
He can also win a game pitching and get a base hit to boot and won the drives and the runs.

1622
01:47:56,920 --> 01:47:59,920
Gomez swings, there's a low-line drive in to left.

1623
01:47:59,920 --> 01:48:01,920
More waiting for it takes it.

1624
01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:03,920
Gomez is out.

1625
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:04,920
But he's set.

1626
01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:07,920
He smoked that apple right quickly on the nose.

1627
01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:10,920
That's all for the top of the eighth inning.

1628
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:13,920
And as we get ready to go into the last of the eighth with the Giants coming in,

1629
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:16,920
the Yankees still lead four to two.

1630
01:48:16,920 --> 01:48:22,920
Well, if it is true, as it seems to be in the last couple of innings,

1631
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:27,920
that Gomez is letting down a little as a pitcher off of his previous effectiveness,

1632
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:30,920
he's certainly picking up in his hitting.

1633
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:34,920
You've mentioned and Tom Manning ahead of you mentioned the fact that

1634
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:41,920
Gomez drove in the run, which put his ball club ahead in this 1937 World Series.

1635
01:48:41,920 --> 01:48:45,920
And now to find him coming up there hitting at another type of pitching,

1636
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:49,920
Don Brennan's type and lashing that line fly out in the left field,

1637
01:48:49,920 --> 01:48:52,920
he's beginning to look a little bit like Ty Cobb.

1638
01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:55,920
And as you said very truly, there will be no holding him,

1639
01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:59,920
because any pitcher likes to win his game when he's pitching.

1640
01:48:59,920 --> 01:49:01,920
But no pitcher likes anything better than a base hit.

1641
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:06,920
And you said a mouthful, if I may use that expression, when you said that about Gomez.

1642
01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:09,920
So here are the Giants with Hank Lieber taking another try.

1643
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:12,920
They're in their half of the eighth, all right here.

1644
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:16,920
Hank Lieber, you can call me on deck and Danning in the hole.

1645
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:19,920
Lieber has one for three this afternoon.

1646
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:22,920
He has three hits out of ten tries in the series.

1647
01:49:22,920 --> 01:49:25,920
The score is four to two, the Yankees.

1648
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:27,920
The Giants are not only two runs behind in the ball game,

1649
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:30,920
but they're two runs behind in the World Series.

1650
01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:33,920
I feel straight away in deep on Hank, who takes strike one.

1651
01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:35,920
Gomez getting the jump for the first pitch,

1652
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:40,920
fall strike on the inside, right under the belt buckle.

1653
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:42,920
Lieber, a big powerhouse, stands at the plate waiting.

1654
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:46,920
Gomez delivers, that ball inside, missing by a finger.

1655
01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:51,920
It's one and one.

1656
01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:55,920
DiMaggio now moves over by a step, step and a half over toward left.

1657
01:49:55,920 --> 01:49:58,920
The pitch comes in, swung on, and foul-tip straight back on the line.

1658
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:00,920
It's one and two.

1659
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:02,920
Lieber's behind, one ball, two strikes.

1660
01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:06,920
First Giants up in the last of the eighths.

1661
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:10,920
Gomez drives up the fingers of his left hand,

1662
01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:12,920
leans down, takes the sign,

1663
01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:14,920
Gazzetti, talking it up and short, another pitch,

1664
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:16,920
low and into the day.

1665
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:19,920
Vicki traps it, has a little difficulty holding on to it,

1666
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:21,920
has to chase it back a couple of feet.

1667
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:25,920
Osby, acts for the ball, looks at it,

1668
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:28,920
drives it to remain in play,

1669
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:33,920
not scarred or roughened to a great extent.

1670
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:36,920
Two and two to Hank Lieber, the first Giants up in the last of the eighths.

1671
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:37,920
Giants trailing by two runs.

1672
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:39,920
Gomez delivers, Lieber swings,

1673
01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:42,920
and it's a base hit through the hole between third and short out into left field.

1674
01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:45,920
And Lieber holds on at first base with a single,

1675
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,920
his second straight hit this afternoon giving him two for four.

1676
01:50:48,920 --> 01:50:54,920
A single in the left, which was hit sharply between Roth and Vicketti.

1677
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:58,920
That's hit number nine off Gomez.

1678
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:05,920
Stepping up now is young Jack McCarthy.

1679
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:07,920
Lindo, left hand hitter,

1680
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:10,920
he's finishing out his first GR in the big show.

1681
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:14,920
He was a rookie with the Giants in the front of the race.

1682
01:51:14,920 --> 01:51:21,920
Gomez pitches outside, ball one.

1683
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:25,920
Johnny Murphy throwing out the bullpen now for the Yankees.

1684
01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:28,920
Gomez pitches, swung out and missed.

1685
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:30,920
Swinging strike onto the shoulders.

1686
01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:33,920
One and one to McCarthy.

1687
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:38,920
Dannings on deck swinging a couple of war clubs to make one feel lighter.

1688
01:51:38,920 --> 01:51:42,920
The pitch is under the chin for ball two.

1689
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:47,920
McCarthy had to bend backwards like a reverse jackknife

1690
01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:50,920
to keep him getting a closer shave than he would like.

1691
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:52,920
That is in a ball game.

1692
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:54,920
Gomez looks at first and now delivers.

1693
01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:57,920
McCarthy swings with the long fly ball deep out on the right.

1694
01:51:57,920 --> 01:51:59,920
Chuck Kirk is back, fires and takes it.

1695
01:51:59,920 --> 01:52:02,920
And Lieber a third of the way down toward second.

1696
01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:06,920
Touchback on the first base as the throw in comes to second baseman Lozari.

1697
01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:10,920
That's all from McCarthy.

1698
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:14,920
One away in the last of the eighths.

1699
01:52:14,920 --> 01:52:17,920
Down and out is Dannings.

1700
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:21,920
He had three for four yesterday, so far he's all for three today.

1701
01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:23,920
And twice Gomez has struck him out.

1702
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:26,920
The other time he got him out he made him foul up to catch a Bill Dickey.

1703
01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:30,920
Danning up.

1704
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:31,920
That feels straight away.

1705
01:52:31,920 --> 01:52:35,920
Lieber leading off first, Dannings swinging, foul chips it straight back into the netting.

1706
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:37,920
Strike one.

1707
01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:42,920
Dickey takes a new ball, wraps it right back out to Gomez.

1708
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:48,920
It's alive, loose jointed left-hander, gets the sign, licks his fingers.

1709
01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:50,920
Now set, facing first.

1710
01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:52,920
And time is called.

1711
01:52:52,920 --> 01:52:55,920
Gomez starts to pitch and then has to hold up.

1712
01:52:55,920 --> 01:53:07,920
Danning walking back out of the box.

1713
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:13,920
Out in the bleachers apparently, oh I see what it is.

1714
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:25,920
A salesman for something, one of the park salesmen for the concession in a white suit was walking up the steps in the bleachers right on a line with Dannings eye on the pitcher.

1715
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:27,920
So time had to be called until the rusher got out of the way.

1716
01:53:27,920 --> 01:53:31,920
Now the pitcher's high and outside, one and one to Dannings.

1717
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:39,920
A batter focusing his eye on the pitcher, trying to watch the ball in the pitcher's hand. If something white distracts him out in the bleachers it can be serious.

1718
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:43,920
There is a line drive right to Gehrig who steps on first base, jumping Lieber long.

1719
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:46,920
Dannings one on an outside pitch, trying to hit it to right to you.

1720
01:53:46,920 --> 01:53:50,920
And hit it about a yard fair inside of first right at Gehrig who smothered it with his mitts.

1721
01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:57,920
Made one leap, blank, a frightened kangaroo, bounding on the first base for another system double play by Gehrig.

1722
01:53:57,920 --> 01:53:59,920
And that ends the last of the eighth inning.

1723
01:53:59,920 --> 01:54:04,920
And the Yankees are still persevering along ahead 4-2, Mr. Brown.

1724
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:11,920
And red that also ends another trying inning for the New York Giants for the third time in a row.

1725
01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:16,920
Now they looked as though they were getting ready to start something but nothing has happened.

1726
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:28,920
That last one was really a tough break because Dannings had a chance to drive in a run two innings ago and didn't really start it out that time as though he was going to do some damage.

1727
01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:31,920
That line drive he hit was well hit.

1728
01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:39,920
But unfortunately for the Giants cause directly at Gehrig who was very close to first base and had no trouble making double play.

1729
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:47,920
That's three innings in a row now that Gromans have started the Giants off and raised some of their hopes undoubtedly.

1730
01:54:47,920 --> 01:54:54,920
And then had them dash to earth, a rather soggy earth at the polo grounds this afternoon.

1731
01:54:54,920 --> 01:55:06,920
Now the Yankees are coming to bat for the first half of the ninth inning and what may possibly be for their last time in the 1937 World Series.

1732
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:10,920
Certainly it will be unless when the Giants get around to it they get some runs.

1733
01:55:10,920 --> 01:55:11,920
All right then.

1734
01:55:11,920 --> 01:55:15,920
It's off the night. Right hand hitting Presetti is up. Takes low under the knees.

1735
01:55:15,920 --> 01:55:17,920
Gromans first pitch of the ninth inning, ball one.

1736
01:55:17,920 --> 01:55:19,920
The outfield slightly around toward left.

1737
01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:21,920
Infield is straight away.

1738
01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:23,920
Whitehead up a step by second.

1739
01:55:23,920 --> 01:55:27,920
Runnin' comes down with his right arm. The pitch is inside up against Presetti's letters.

1740
01:55:27,920 --> 01:55:30,920
And it's ball two. Two-nothing.

1741
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:37,920
Mikey Presetti who has just one hit in the series.

1742
01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:39,920
Up for his 22nd time.

1743
01:55:39,920 --> 01:55:43,920
Takes low inside for ball three.

1744
01:55:43,920 --> 01:55:46,920
One just took off the toes of his shoe.

1745
01:55:46,920 --> 01:55:49,920
New ball put in play.

1746
01:55:49,920 --> 01:55:53,920
Up down at third. Takes it from Danning. Grubs it up. Walks it over to the mound.

1747
01:55:53,920 --> 01:55:55,920
Runnin' behind now.

1748
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:59,920
Three and oh.

1749
01:55:59,920 --> 01:56:01,920
Presetti set.

1750
01:56:01,920 --> 01:56:03,920
Right hand hitter in the crowd. Shoking his stick.

1751
01:56:03,920 --> 01:56:04,920
Down delivers.

1752
01:56:04,920 --> 01:56:07,920
It's low for ball four and go ahead to present.

1753
01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:12,920
Runnin' walks the first Yankee up in the ninth inning.

1754
01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:15,920
The runner is Red Rawl.

1755
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:17,920
Who has one hit out of three official tries today.

1756
01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:22,920
He's been on the bases twice. He drew a pass in the fifth inning.

1757
01:56:22,920 --> 01:56:24,920
Outfield. Flows around toward right.

1758
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:26,920
They play Rawl for the full hitter.

1759
01:56:26,920 --> 01:56:28,920
Runnin' watching first. Now delivers.

1760
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:29,920
Rawl front.

1761
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:31,920
The ball bounce down and up and hits him.

1762
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:33,920
It is foul.

1763
01:56:33,920 --> 01:56:35,920
Strike one.

1764
01:56:35,920 --> 01:56:37,920
The Giants come in.

1765
01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:39,920
Starting to say.

1766
01:56:39,920 --> 01:56:42,920
There the basis of the Giants argument is.

1767
01:56:42,920 --> 01:56:44,920
That the ball when it's bounded up and hit.

1768
01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:48,920
Rawl was in fair territory and therefore the batter should be automatically out.

1769
01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:54,920
However, umpire ought to be ruled that the attempted butt was foul all the way.

1770
01:56:54,920 --> 01:57:01,920
And it hits Rawl as a foul ball and therefore is just foul ball strike one.

1771
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:03,920
That's nothing in one.

1772
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:05,920
Standing walking out toward the mound.

1773
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:08,920
Runnin' after taking the ball from him on a short toss.

1774
01:57:08,920 --> 01:57:10,920
Was trudging back up.

1775
01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:12,920
That summit of red play.

1776
01:57:12,920 --> 01:57:14,920
That is Pitcher's Hill.

1777
01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:16,920
In the polo grounds.

1778
01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:18,920
Nobody out. Presetti leading down off first.

1779
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,920
While they hold the corner. Whitehead is halfway down.

1780
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:23,920
The Giants are looking for a butt.

1781
01:57:23,920 --> 01:57:25,920
Rawl tries to butt. This one is fair.

1782
01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:30,920
Downing takes it. Throws down to first. Rawl is out.

1783
01:57:30,920 --> 01:57:34,920
Presetti safely sacrificed down to second base.

1784
01:57:34,920 --> 01:57:39,920
The Yankees in the ninth inning of this fifth game accomplish a sacrifice play.

1785
01:57:39,920 --> 01:57:43,920
That's nothing the Giants in the first one or two games wish they had done.

1786
01:57:43,920 --> 01:57:46,920
Instead of swinging with two strikes on them after two foul butts.

1787
01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:48,920
Presetti sacrificed down to second.

1788
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:50,920
The out was downing at two o'clock.

1789
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:52,920
Out one away.

1790
01:57:52,920 --> 01:57:54,920
Here at the top of the ninth. DiMaggio is up there.

1791
01:57:54,920 --> 01:57:55,920
Runnin' off, set the pitch to him.

1792
01:57:55,920 --> 01:57:56,920
Down delivers.

1793
01:57:56,920 --> 01:57:57,920
Inside.

1794
01:57:57,920 --> 01:57:59,920
Curve which started at the shoulder.

1795
01:57:59,920 --> 01:58:02,920
Broke down toward the plate but didn't break enough. Four or one.

1796
01:58:02,920 --> 01:58:05,920
Presetti leading off the keystone.

1797
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:08,920
180 feet from where they pay off.

1798
01:58:08,920 --> 01:58:11,920
Down to the field. Step toward left and deep.

1799
01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:14,920
DiMaggio takes high outside.

1800
01:58:14,920 --> 01:58:16,920
Ball two.

1801
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:18,920
Brennan's behind. Two-nothing.

1802
01:58:18,920 --> 01:58:21,920
Run, run. The third Giants pitcher out this afternoon.

1803
01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:24,920
Melton started.

1804
01:58:24,920 --> 01:58:27,920
Fits five innings. Gave way for a hitter.

1805
01:58:27,920 --> 01:58:29,920
All four of the Yankee runs.

1806
01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:32,920
He came off cliff.

1807
01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:35,920
Smith fits the next two. Brennan fits one and he's now going into the ninth.

1808
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:38,920
Here this hit high and short out in the left field.

1809
01:58:38,920 --> 01:58:41,920
Under it is shortstop Bartell and has it.

1810
01:58:41,920 --> 01:58:44,920
The second out at the top of the ninth.

1811
01:58:44,920 --> 01:58:49,920
DiMaggio popping sky high up and out.

1812
01:58:49,920 --> 01:58:52,920
Two away on the ninth.

1813
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:54,920
The Yankees ahead.

1814
01:58:54,920 --> 01:58:57,920
Four to two.

1815
01:58:57,920 --> 01:59:01,920
Lou Gehrig steps into the plate.

1816
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:04,920
Lou has a double and a triple for his last two efforts.

1817
01:59:04,920 --> 01:59:08,920
He has five hits all told in the series.

1818
01:59:08,920 --> 01:59:10,920
His bag includes a grand slam.

1819
01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:13,920
Not put together in any one game.

1820
01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:16,920
But throughout the series he has one of every kind.

1821
01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:21,920
A single, a double, a triple and a home run.

1822
01:59:21,920 --> 01:59:24,920
That's what you'd call pretty fair country clout.

1823
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:26,920
That's the way I came from.

1824
01:59:26,920 --> 01:59:28,920
Two away top of the ninth.

1825
01:59:28,920 --> 01:59:30,920
Presettion second. Lou Gehrig up.

1826
01:59:30,920 --> 01:59:32,920
He hasn't been stopped.

1827
01:59:32,920 --> 01:59:34,920
He has two tries.

1828
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:36,920
Hitting left-handed takes outside.

1829
01:59:36,920 --> 01:59:38,920
Running pitch did not come down in there.

1830
01:59:38,920 --> 01:59:40,920
Right-handed pitcher working to a left-hand hitter.

1831
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:41,920
All one.

1832
01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:45,920
Presetti ready to go on anything.

1833
01:59:45,920 --> 01:59:48,920
Running carefully down into pitch position delivers a curve in there.

1834
01:59:48,920 --> 01:59:50,920
And there's a throw to second which is into the dirt.

1835
01:59:50,920 --> 01:59:52,920
But Bartell comes up with it.

1836
01:59:52,920 --> 01:59:56,920
Presetti of course is back long ago safely.

1837
01:59:56,920 --> 02:00:00,920
McCall strike to Gehrig with standing through down to second.

1838
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:03,920
He threw it into the dirt about six feet short of second base.

1839
02:00:03,920 --> 02:00:06,920
And a couple of feet on the shortstop side of the keystone.

1840
02:00:06,920 --> 02:00:08,920
Bartell took it on the hop.

1841
02:00:08,920 --> 02:00:10,920
Not allowed to go through.

1842
02:00:10,920 --> 02:00:12,920
Running into position throwing out of the shoulder.

1843
02:00:12,920 --> 02:00:15,920
A curve down into McCall strike two.

1844
02:00:15,920 --> 02:00:18,920
Gehrig took a long healthy stride going in on that pitch.

1845
02:00:18,920 --> 02:00:20,920
But did not swing.

1846
02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:24,920
And it broke sharply down in there.

1847
02:00:24,920 --> 02:00:26,920
One and two to move.

1848
02:00:26,920 --> 02:00:28,920
Running again in position delivering.

1849
02:00:28,920 --> 02:00:30,920
Swing committed.

1850
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:31,920
Strike three.

1851
02:00:31,920 --> 02:00:34,920
And so ended the top of the ninth inning.

1852
02:00:34,920 --> 02:00:39,920
And the Giants will now be pressing in for what may be their last chance.

1853
02:00:39,920 --> 02:00:41,920
One round.

1854
02:00:41,920 --> 02:00:44,920
And even that inning could not get by without something,

1855
02:00:44,920 --> 02:00:47,920
some little bit added to the excitement.

1856
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:50,920
The potential run on second base.

1857
02:00:50,920 --> 02:00:55,920
And DiMaggio, Gehrig and Dickey supposedly coming up next.

1858
02:00:55,920 --> 02:00:57,920
That was a trying moment for Don Brennan.

1859
02:00:57,920 --> 02:01:01,920
I thought he did real well getting out of there without any damage.

1860
02:01:01,920 --> 02:01:06,920
He limited DiMaggio to a high fly just a little bit back on the grass.

1861
02:01:06,920 --> 02:01:14,920
And of course striking out Gehrig is always something to get excited about at the time.

1862
02:01:14,920 --> 02:01:20,920
Now the Giants will be at bat for their last time.

1863
02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:22,920
Unless they happen to get themselves two runs.

1864
02:01:22,920 --> 02:01:26,920
And if they get more than two runs it will still be their last time.

1865
02:01:26,920 --> 02:01:30,920
Since it is the last half of the ninth inning, the home club's half.

1866
02:01:30,920 --> 02:01:35,920
And I imagine that the official attendance of 38,216

1867
02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:39,920
would sort of like to see the game get tied up and go on.

1868
02:01:39,920 --> 02:01:43,920
After all it's getting to be a much better day now than when it started.

1869
02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:47,920
And everyone present, with the exception of the Yankee folks of course,

1870
02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:50,920
are pulling for a tie score. Here they go, Reds.

1871
02:01:50,920 --> 02:01:52,920
Burgess Whitehead is first up. Gomez pitches.

1872
02:01:52,920 --> 02:01:58,920
Strike one called, a first pitch of the last of the ninth.

1873
02:01:58,920 --> 02:02:00,920
And with what feelings?

1874
02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:03,920
Last of the ninth is approached by both clubs.

1875
02:02:03,920 --> 02:02:06,920
The pitch swung on and fouled back.

1876
02:02:06,920 --> 02:02:08,920
Strike two, nothing in two to Whitehead.

1877
02:02:08,920 --> 02:02:11,920
This afternoon Whitehead has one for three a double.

1878
02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:13,920
He has four hits out of 15 tries in the series.

1879
02:02:13,920 --> 02:02:21,920
The outfield is playing in, notably in center and right, and is pulled toward right.

1880
02:02:21,920 --> 02:02:23,920
The right side of the infield is up a step, the right side is usual depth.

1881
02:02:23,920 --> 02:02:25,920
Whitehead in the crowd swinging.

1882
02:02:25,920 --> 02:02:26,920
It's a clouding fly out in the center.

1883
02:02:26,920 --> 02:02:30,920
Imagine your look back and pulls it down for the out.

1884
02:02:30,920 --> 02:02:34,920
And the Giants, two runs behind, have put two outs left to them

1885
02:02:34,920 --> 02:02:39,920
in the ball game and in the series.

1886
02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:41,920
One away on the last of the ninth inning.

1887
02:02:41,920 --> 02:02:45,920
And Wally Burger is coming up to bat for Don Brenner.

1888
02:02:45,920 --> 02:02:51,920
Wally Burger, big right-handed hitter.

1889
02:02:51,920 --> 02:02:55,920
Wally Burger up there, takes high outside.

1890
02:02:55,920 --> 02:03:02,920
All right, this is the third time in the series Burger has come up as a pinch hitter.

1891
02:03:02,920 --> 02:03:04,920
He has not delivered.

1892
02:03:04,920 --> 02:03:06,920
The pitch is high outside for ball two.

1893
02:03:06,920 --> 02:03:09,920
Burger is ahead.

1894
02:03:09,920 --> 02:03:13,920
Burger, who when he connects, has terrific driving power.

1895
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:17,920
With these fans yawning dangerously close down along each foul line, Burger sets.

1896
02:03:17,920 --> 02:03:18,920
Gomez left-handed in.

1897
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:21,920
Burger swings, breaks his bat, hits it into the great front of his area.

1898
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:22,920
He was up for this to throw to first.

1899
02:03:22,920 --> 02:03:23,920
Burger is out.

1900
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:25,920
And that's what you call insult to injury.

1901
02:03:25,920 --> 02:03:29,920
Breaking at bat and then going out at the same time.

1902
02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:34,920
And now but one out remains to the National League cause.

1903
02:03:34,920 --> 02:03:40,920
The Giants being their standard ballers in this 1937 climate.

1904
02:03:40,920 --> 02:03:48,920
And now Bill Terry, the manager of the Giants and injured catcher and captain Gus Mancuso have come out.

1905
02:03:48,920 --> 02:03:50,920
Burger has come back to join them.

1906
02:03:50,920 --> 02:03:55,920
And they are putting on an argument with umpire Ormsby.

1907
02:03:55,920 --> 02:04:04,920
The argument, no doubt, being whether there was interference on Burger's swing that time with his bat.

1908
02:04:04,920 --> 02:04:10,920
That's the second time that argument about interference by the catcher with the batter's bat has come up this afternoon.

1909
02:04:10,920 --> 02:04:14,920
And for the first time in the series we have a conference of the four welles of the blue surge.

1910
02:04:14,920 --> 02:04:23,920
Umpire Ormsby calls his three compatriots, his former American League umpire Basial and the National League arbiters, Braun Stewart, for a conference.

1911
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:25,920
And they talk it over.

1912
02:04:25,920 --> 02:04:27,920
And they agree there was not interference.

1913
02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:29,920
The four umpires decided then.

1914
02:04:29,920 --> 02:04:36,920
And Terry takes off his cap and in mock deference to the umpires, follows scurrifically low.

1915
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:40,920
And you can see his lip work as he says, I think.

1916
02:04:40,920 --> 02:04:47,920
Now the umpires go back to the stands between the Yankees and the championship of the world in 1937.

1917
02:04:47,920 --> 02:04:49,920
But one out is left to the Giants cause.

1918
02:04:49,920 --> 02:04:51,920
More swing, a slow roller down for first.

1919
02:04:51,920 --> 02:04:53,920
Terry picks it up, the cause over to Gomez who covers.

1920
02:04:53,920 --> 02:04:54,920
That's the final out.

1921
02:04:54,920 --> 02:04:56,920
Gomez makes the final put out himself.

1922
02:04:56,920 --> 02:04:59,920
Gary to the pitcher, Moore is out.

1923
02:04:59,920 --> 02:05:06,920
And the hilariously happy Yankees are making a mad dash for their clubhouse with the Giants coming back.

1924
02:05:06,920 --> 02:05:10,920
And the Yankees are now champions of the world.

1925
02:05:10,920 --> 02:05:15,920
And now the national broadcasting company takes you to Tom Manning in the Yankee clubhouse.

1926
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:20,920
All right ladies and gentlemen, and here's the boys that hit the longest ball of the series, Joe DeMondfield.

1927
02:05:20,920 --> 02:05:21,920
Thanks Tom, thanks Tom.

1928
02:05:21,920 --> 02:05:22,920
It was a great thrill to win this game.

1929
02:05:22,920 --> 02:05:24,920
I mean that home run was a great show.

1930
02:05:24,920 --> 02:05:26,920
I never hit a ball out of my life.

1931
02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:29,920
The Giants played a good game and we did too.

1932
02:05:29,920 --> 02:05:32,920
I mean as far as, I went with them, joining was a great game.

1933
02:05:32,920 --> 02:05:33,920
Thank you Joe.

1934
02:05:33,920 --> 02:05:35,920
Where's that Gary guy?

1935
02:05:35,920 --> 02:05:37,920
George Selkirk, come here.

1936
02:05:37,920 --> 02:05:38,920
Yeah, there you are George.

1937
02:05:38,920 --> 02:05:40,920
What do you want me to play now?

1938
02:05:40,920 --> 02:05:41,920
How do you feel boy?

1939
02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:42,920
Aw, just fine.

1940
02:05:42,920 --> 02:05:45,920
And here's the guy that picked the two winning goal games.

1941
02:05:45,920 --> 02:05:46,920
Come on over here Lefty.

1942
02:05:46,920 --> 02:05:47,920
Lefty Gomez.

1943
02:05:47,920 --> 02:05:52,920
I'm really thrilled to death and I want to say to my folks out in California,

1944
02:05:52,920 --> 02:05:54,920
I'll be home real soon.

1945
02:05:54,920 --> 02:05:55,920
Thank you very much Tom.

1946
02:05:55,920 --> 02:05:56,920
What are you puffing up on?

1947
02:05:56,920 --> 02:05:58,920
I'm happy and just running.

1948
02:05:58,920 --> 02:05:59,920
Come on, give us a gag.

1949
02:05:59,920 --> 02:06:02,920
It wouldn't be Lefty Gomez without some kind of a gag.

1950
02:06:02,920 --> 02:06:03,920
Come here Bill.

1951
02:06:03,920 --> 02:06:05,920
I do like that hit I got today Tom.

1952
02:06:05,920 --> 02:06:06,920
I think that was a piffle.

1953
02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:07,920
Listen, what did you have out there?

1954
02:06:07,920 --> 02:06:08,920
Everything?

1955
02:06:08,920 --> 02:06:09,920
Nothing, I was very lucky.

1956
02:06:09,920 --> 02:06:12,920
All right, and here's the scouter Phil Sicki, one of the greatest catchers ever.

1957
02:06:12,920 --> 02:06:13,920
Hello Bill.

1958
02:06:13,920 --> 02:06:14,920
Give Gomez all the credit boy.

1959
02:06:14,920 --> 02:06:17,920
He deserves these last, this last ball game and that first one too.

1960
02:06:17,920 --> 02:06:18,920
He's missed great ball all during the series.

1961
02:06:18,920 --> 02:06:19,920
He's a great pitcher.

1962
02:06:19,920 --> 02:06:21,920
What do you have out there today Bill?

1963
02:06:21,920 --> 02:06:22,920
Plenty, had a lot of everything.

1964
02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:26,920
Phil you hit that old ball pretty hard but you were hitting it too far and too high.

1965
02:06:26,920 --> 02:06:27,920
Yeah well you got to be lucky.

1966
02:06:27,920 --> 02:06:28,920
What are you going to do this winter?

1967
02:06:28,920 --> 02:06:31,920
Well I'm going down to Florida on a vacation right now.

1968
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:32,920
What are you going to do with that dough?

1969
02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:35,920
Oh, what are you going to do with that dough Lefty Gomez?

1970
02:06:35,920 --> 02:06:38,920
I'm going to put it into an annuity for my, when I'm an old man.

1971
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:41,920
You're an old man now, what do you mean when you're an old man?

1972
02:06:41,920 --> 02:06:43,920
All right, the photographers are pushing them out here.

1973
02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:46,920
Joe McCarthy ladies and gentlemen, the greatest manager that ever lived.

1974
02:06:46,920 --> 02:06:49,920
One of the finest fellows, new radio and newspaper man.

1975
02:06:49,920 --> 02:06:53,920
Ladies and gentlemen it's a real pleasure to present to you now Joe McCarthy,

1976
02:06:53,920 --> 02:06:55,920
the manager of the world champion New York Yankees.

1977
02:06:55,920 --> 02:07:00,920
Well I'm very happy but I really thought that the Giants would give us a little tougher battle.

1978
02:07:00,920 --> 02:07:04,920
I really thought they'd at least win two of their, I'll win that.

1979
02:07:04,920 --> 02:07:06,920
I just went on through the field.

1980
02:07:06,920 --> 02:07:07,920
What's the matter Joe?

1981
02:07:07,920 --> 02:07:09,920
I'm so tickled I don't know, I couldn't say anything anyhow.

1982
02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:11,920
What are you going to say hello to the folks over in Buffalo?

1983
02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:14,920
Well I want to say hello to all my good friends in Buffalo and I'll soon be back with you.

1984
02:07:14,920 --> 02:07:15,920
Thank you.

1985
02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:16,920
Thank you Joe a lot.

1986
02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:18,920
Come on over here, Max Butcher, come here.

1987
02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:19,920
Max Butcher.

1988
02:07:19,920 --> 02:07:22,920
Well I want to first say hello to everybody in Collinsville, Illinois.

1989
02:07:22,920 --> 02:07:27,920
I want to thank Henry Sherman for the wonderful telegram and I say to all enthusiasm,

1990
02:07:27,920 --> 02:07:30,920
there's a wonderful demonstration going on, I'm going to let somebody else talk.

1991
02:07:30,920 --> 02:07:32,920
Pat Malone, come on over, thanks a lot.

1992
02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:34,920
That was a great series, in my room he pitched a great game.

1993
02:07:34,920 --> 02:07:37,920
I'm Gomez's room and Hello Mylan and Mother and Joel,

1994
02:07:37,920 --> 02:07:39,920
was the greatest series I believe I ever saw.

1995
02:07:39,920 --> 02:07:41,920
What's that going to do with that big fat check?

1996
02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:43,920
Same as last year, give it to our wife and baby.

1997
02:07:43,920 --> 02:07:44,920
Hi Hal Tudor.

1998
02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:46,920
Tony, come on over, what's up?

1999
02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:47,920
Tony, come here.

2000
02:07:47,920 --> 02:07:48,920
Tony.

2001
02:07:48,920 --> 02:07:54,920
Hello everybody in San Francisco and Millbury, it's been a wonderful series.

2002
02:07:54,920 --> 02:07:55,920
Thank you.

2003
02:07:55,920 --> 02:08:00,920
Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the American League, the Honorable Will Herridge.

2004
02:08:00,920 --> 02:08:04,920
Too much noise here but I want to just say a great victory for the American League.

2005
02:08:04,920 --> 02:08:06,920
Thank you very much President Herridge.

2006
02:08:06,920 --> 02:08:09,920
Red Wall, come here, don't you run away, you've got to get over here.

2007
02:08:09,920 --> 02:08:11,920
We Redheads will stick together again.

2008
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:13,920
It's great to be on another winner.

2009
02:08:13,920 --> 02:08:16,920
We all know that lefty Gomez was starting today and finished.

2010
02:08:16,920 --> 02:08:19,920
Thank you very, very much for letting us play the lot of third base too.

2011
02:08:19,920 --> 02:08:21,920
Listen, I want to get a hold of Luke Gerry.

2012
02:08:21,920 --> 02:08:22,920
Where's Luke?

2013
02:08:22,920 --> 02:08:23,920
Where's Gerry?

2014
02:08:23,920 --> 02:08:26,920
Oh, he's sitting over here with his arms around to go to Mars, Joel.

2015
02:08:26,920 --> 02:08:28,920
Will you get off that court for a moment?

2016
02:08:28,920 --> 02:08:30,920
Please, will you give us a little more court?

2017
02:08:30,920 --> 02:08:33,920
Hey, photographer, hey, photographer, off the court please.

2018
02:08:33,920 --> 02:08:34,920
Where is that?

2019
02:08:34,920 --> 02:08:36,920
Luke, come on up here, I've got enough court.

2020
02:08:36,920 --> 02:08:37,920
Come on over here.

2021
02:08:37,920 --> 02:08:40,920
Come on over here, little Michelle New York.

2022
02:08:40,920 --> 02:08:42,920
Joel, don't be so backwards.

2023
02:08:42,920 --> 02:08:45,920
I'm just lucky to be with a great ball club, that Joel.

2024
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:47,920
Listen, what do we have on that ball with you, Hickson?

2025
02:08:47,920 --> 02:08:50,920
Come on over here, say hello to that fly for you, you big step, come on.

2026
02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:51,920
Come on, Luke.

2027
02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:55,920
Oh, there's a quartet in there, one hundred, they're taking pictures up there.

2028
02:08:55,920 --> 02:08:58,920
That quartet happens to be Earl Combs, the tenor and so forth.

2029
02:08:58,920 --> 02:09:00,920
And ladies and gentlemen, federal has broken loose.

2030
02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:05,920
We've had the pleasure of having our NBC microphone here in the dressing room.

2031
02:09:05,920 --> 02:09:07,920
The boys are being pushed and shoved around.

2032
02:09:07,920 --> 02:09:09,920
I do want to get Colonel Rupert on the air for you.

2033
02:09:09,920 --> 02:09:12,920
If I'm swimming through that, will you please say, Colonel Rupert?

2034
02:09:12,920 --> 02:09:16,920
And here's the owner of the Yankees. Hey, hey, give me the court, please.

2035
02:09:16,920 --> 02:09:18,920
Colonel Rupert.

2036
02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:21,920
Ladies and gentlemen, Colonel Rupert is perhaps the happiest man here,

2037
02:09:21,920 --> 02:09:24,920
and I know that he'd like to speak to you all over the world.

2038
02:09:24,920 --> 02:09:26,920
And here he is, the Honorable Colonel Rupert,

2039
02:09:26,920 --> 02:09:29,920
owner of the New York Yankees of the American League, Colonel Rupert.

2040
02:09:29,920 --> 02:09:31,920
No doubt I'm the happiest man in the world.

2041
02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:33,920
They've done great work and they deserve to win it.

2042
02:09:33,920 --> 02:09:36,920
They're a fine ball club, they're fine, and they deserve it.

2043
02:09:36,920 --> 02:09:38,920
Thank you all. Thank you, Colonel Rupert.

2044
02:09:38,920 --> 02:09:41,920
Hey, Charlie Ruffey! Charlie! Hey, Charlie!

2045
02:09:41,920 --> 02:09:43,920
Get Ruffey, go ahead.

2046
02:09:43,920 --> 02:09:44,920
Tom Henry.

2047
02:09:44,920 --> 02:09:47,920
Here's the boy that caused a lot of excitement throughout the year, Tom Henry.

2048
02:09:47,920 --> 02:09:50,920
He was made a free agent, got himself about 25 grand.

2049
02:09:50,920 --> 02:09:53,920
And he's from Ohio, the same state that I'm from,

2050
02:09:53,920 --> 02:09:56,920
a smiling youngster on his first World Championship team, Tom Henry.

2051
02:09:56,920 --> 02:09:58,920
Great to be on this team.

2052
02:09:58,920 --> 02:10:01,920
That's my lion. I'm too darn horse to say much.

2053
02:10:01,920 --> 02:10:04,920
I didn't get in the game, but I sure hollered like a son of a buck.

2054
02:10:04,920 --> 02:10:06,920
You'll be in there a lot, kid, don't worry about that.

2055
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:09,920
And here's the old Red Ruffing himself, ladies and gentlemen,

2056
02:10:09,920 --> 02:10:11,920
what a ball game he's had. How are you, kid?

2057
02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:13,920
I'm fine, all right. I'm glad it's all over now.

2058
02:10:13,920 --> 02:10:15,920
I didn't think the best team won, no two.

2059
02:10:15,920 --> 02:10:18,920
So you're pretty happy about getting that dough that you lost early in the spring

2060
02:10:18,920 --> 02:10:20,920
after you held out on... Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

2061
02:10:20,920 --> 02:10:22,920
What are you going to do with all that dough?

2062
02:10:22,920 --> 02:10:24,920
I'll buy a whole lot in California, I think, right?

2063
02:10:24,920 --> 02:10:26,920
Maybe the juice could catch you, though, would it?

2064
02:10:26,920 --> 02:10:28,920
Joe Glenn, Pope Joe, I'll say if you want.

2065
02:10:28,920 --> 02:10:29,920
Joe Glenn, come on in, Joe.

2066
02:10:29,920 --> 02:10:32,920
I'm a little excited, but I do want to say hello to my folks

2067
02:10:32,920 --> 02:10:36,920
and to all my friends, the great series, and I'm very happy we won.

2068
02:10:36,920 --> 02:10:39,920
Mark Ross, Mark, Mark, come on over, sir.

2069
02:10:39,920 --> 02:10:42,920
Here's the secretary of the Yankee Club, ladies and gentlemen, Mark Ross.

2070
02:10:42,920 --> 02:10:45,920
This is the tenth one for me. I hope we have another one, make it 11.

2071
02:10:45,920 --> 02:10:47,920
Thank you. Off the court, please.

2072
02:10:47,920 --> 02:10:49,920
Wait a second, I gotta get somebody, wait a minute.

2073
02:10:49,920 --> 02:10:51,920
Oh, no. Hey, here's the mascot.

2074
02:10:51,920 --> 02:10:53,920
What's your name? Nobody ever tells them.

2075
02:10:53,920 --> 02:10:56,920
Jimmy Sullivan. Jimmy, how long have you been mascot for the Yankees?

2076
02:10:56,920 --> 02:10:57,920
Two years.

2077
02:10:57,920 --> 02:11:00,920
Listen, you speak for the whole Yankee team now and get going, come on.

2078
02:11:00,920 --> 02:11:01,920
Very glad we won, folks.

2079
02:11:01,920 --> 02:11:03,920
What are you going to do with all the dough you made?

2080
02:11:03,920 --> 02:11:04,920
Put it in the bank.

2081
02:11:04,920 --> 02:11:05,920
What bank?

2082
02:11:05,920 --> 02:11:08,920
Congratulations, kid. Have a good winter and we'll see you again on the spring.

2083
02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:10,920
They're still pushing and shoving around here,

2084
02:11:10,920 --> 02:11:13,920
and the little picture that we got now, every photographer, I believe, in America,

2085
02:11:13,920 --> 02:11:15,920
is here in this dressing room of the Yankees,

2086
02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:17,920
and we pull all the ballplayers on for you.

2087
02:11:17,920 --> 02:11:22,920
This is Tom Manning speaking, and I want you to return you again to the dressing room.

2088
02:11:22,920 --> 02:11:27,920
Back in the NBC booth at the top of the upper deck of the Polar Grounds,

2089
02:11:27,920 --> 02:11:31,920
the crowd is streaming out on the field, rapidly making its getaway,

2090
02:11:31,920 --> 02:11:35,920
and the 1947 World Series is definitely over,

2091
02:11:35,920 --> 02:11:40,920
but the New York Yankees return world champions for the second year in a row.

2092
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:45,920
They have defeated the New York Giants, champions of the National League,

2093
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:47,920
in four out of five games.

2094
02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:52,920
They managed to do that because they opened up in a manner of speaking a long lead

2095
02:11:52,920 --> 02:11:55,920
by winning the first three games of the World Series

2096
02:11:55,920 --> 02:11:59,920
before the Giants seemed to be unable to get going at all.

2097
02:11:59,920 --> 02:12:02,920
Yesterday, behind the fine pitching of Carl Hubbell,

2098
02:12:02,920 --> 02:12:05,920
the Giants were able to win and looked very much like they had looked

2099
02:12:05,920 --> 02:12:08,920
while they were winning a championship in the National League.

2100
02:12:08,920 --> 02:12:11,920
Today, in this, what turned out to be the final game,

2101
02:12:11,920 --> 02:12:15,920
Lepty Gomez, who won the first game for the Yankees, came back again.

2102
02:12:15,920 --> 02:12:20,920
He was not the same kind of a pitcher by any means today that he was in the first game,

2103
02:12:20,920 --> 02:12:26,920
but he managed to withstand the repeated fine starts that the Giants made in several innings

2104
02:12:26,920 --> 02:12:28,920
and held them to their two runs.

2105
02:12:28,920 --> 02:12:33,920
The Giants got ten hits off of Gomez, but he kept them fairly well scattered.

2106
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:38,920
The main thing that Gomez did today was to show his ability to pitch his way out of trouble,

2107
02:12:38,920 --> 02:12:41,920
and he was in trouble a good deal, especially in the latter part of the game.

2108
02:12:41,920 --> 02:12:45,920
He was in most of his trouble, of course, in the third inning when Mel Ott,

2109
02:12:45,920 --> 02:12:50,920
the New York Giants third baseman, got the Giants' only home run of the series,

2110
02:12:50,920 --> 02:12:54,920
scoring Dick Bartel ahead of him and tying the score.

2111
02:12:54,920 --> 02:12:59,920
The Yankees prior to that had made two runs, both on home runs off Cliff Melton.

2112
02:12:59,920 --> 02:13:02,920
Joe DiMaggio got one of them and Marle Hoog got the other.

2113
02:13:02,920 --> 02:13:06,920
Later on in the fifth inning, with the score tied at 2-all,

2114
02:13:06,920 --> 02:13:11,920
Tony Lozare came through with a tremendous three-base hit in the dead center field.

2115
02:13:11,920 --> 02:13:17,920
And then nobody else but Gomez himself came up and delivered his only hit of the series,

2116
02:13:17,920 --> 02:13:23,920
but one that was good enough to knock home the one run that he needed to win the way he went thereafter.

2117
02:13:23,920 --> 02:13:29,920
Later on in the ball game, when that inning, Gomez himself scored to make the score 4-2,

2118
02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:34,920
and that was the way it went, although this crowd of a few hundred more than 38,000

2119
02:13:34,920 --> 02:13:40,920
that was here this afternoon on a cold, really damp day with a tread of rain all the time

2120
02:13:40,920 --> 02:13:44,920
certainly got quite a kick out of the proceedings in the latter innings.

2121
02:13:44,920 --> 02:13:50,920
There were many chances for the Giants, and the Giants today played very fine baseball all the way through.

2122
02:13:50,920 --> 02:13:55,920
Perhaps they didn't get the breaks that they wanted, but their chances were there for them to come through.

2123
02:13:55,920 --> 02:14:01,920
And because they didn't, it seems to me that it goes on the credit side of Gomez

2124
02:14:01,920 --> 02:14:04,920
as much as on the debit side of the Giants.

2125
02:14:04,920 --> 02:14:07,920
It has been an interesting series all the way through,

2126
02:14:07,920 --> 02:14:12,920
and this Warren Brown talking to you must say that he has enjoyed it thoroughly.

2127
02:14:12,920 --> 02:14:16,920
And now I'm going to turn the microphone over to George Hicks, and goodbye.

2128
02:14:16,920 --> 02:14:25,920
Again, NBC and its Associated Stations from coast to coast have brought you under a leaden sky

2129
02:14:25,920 --> 02:14:30,920
at the Polar Grounds in New York City, the last game of the Autumnal Classic,

2130
02:14:30,920 --> 02:14:34,920
and the complete report of all the action of the series.

2131
02:14:34,920 --> 02:14:40,920
The Yanks win, of course, four games to one, winning the first game 8-1, the second game 8-1,

2132
02:14:40,920 --> 02:14:44,920
the third game 5-1, the Giants winning the fourth game 7-3,

2133
02:14:44,920 --> 02:14:48,920
and the Yankees now winning the last game 4-2.

2134
02:14:48,920 --> 02:14:55,920
The Yanks got 8 hits and no errors, the Giants got 10 hits and no errors.

2135
02:14:55,920 --> 02:14:58,920
Your two action describers have been Tom Manning,

2136
02:14:58,920 --> 02:15:02,920
the veteran baseball announcer from station WTAM Cleveland,

2137
02:15:02,920 --> 02:15:07,920
and Brett Barber, the flashy southern boy of WLW Cincinnati,

2138
02:15:07,920 --> 02:15:11,920
and Warren Brown, the sports editor of the Chicago Herald Examiner,

2139
02:15:11,920 --> 02:15:14,920
was that voice of authority between the innings.

2140
02:15:14,920 --> 02:15:17,920
This is George Hicks speaking from New York.

2141
02:15:17,920 --> 02:15:41,920
These are programs of the National Broadcasting Company.
