On October 5th, 1967, the St. Louis Cardinals faced the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park for Game 2 of the 1967 World Series.
The Cardinals led the best of seven series, one game to none, and this is the NBC Radio broadcast of Game 2 featuring announcers Pee Wee Reese and Harry Carey.
Thank you very much, Pee Wee and hello again everybody. A beautiful baseball afternoon, but please now remember blowing towards right field.
It should help the left-handed batter. Jim Lomborg, L-O-M-B-O-R-G, just 24 years old, and this fella's arrived in a hurry.
Lomborg, tall and rangy, nice, easy, fluid pitching motion.
A Southern California boy. This is his third season with the Red Sox.
He started in professional baseball only three years ago at Winston-Salem. He won six and he lost two there.
At Seattle, at the point of that season, he won five and lost seven. Then with the Red Sox, in 65, he won nine and lost 17.
Last year he was a 500 pitcher at 10 and 10, and this year he blossomed into one of the best pitchers in the America League.
In fact, he paced all pitchers with a 22-victory total, losing only nine.
There goes Elston Howard's throw down to second base, and we're all set to go. Here comes Luke Rock.
Rock, who had four out of four yesterday, stole two bases, scored both runs, was on base five times in a row.
The ballpark here at Fenway is jam-packed. Rock steps into the batter's box. He loves to hit the first ball.
The Red Sox have a good book on the cardinals. They know all about these hitting tendencies, but even knowing about them sometimes doesn't help it.
Here's Lomborg getting set up and Howard is giving the signal. The outfield straight away.
And Lomborg into the windup, the first pitch of the ballgame. High and inside, it's spun him away.
There's no way that Rock could hit the first ball today.
That was almost like a purpose pitch, as if to say, you're not going to get any toehold on me.
Lomborg delivers now, and here's the pitch. And it's a strike ball. The slider caught the outside corner of Rock, shotting up as if to bump.
And I think Lomborg led the American League in hitting batters.
He did with 19. Here's the pitch on the way. Way outside. And the count. Two balls and a strike. Howard.
Lomborg has experience behind the plate today in Elston Howard, a veteran of a number of World Series with the Yankees.
Two balls and a strike. Nobody on, nobody out. The game has just started. The pitch.
And he looks like to, boy, he blew that ball by him.
A lightning fastball at the knees that time. Rock had a good cut in this. And the count is evened up.
Two balls, two strikes. Rock strikes out quite a bit, 109 times during the regular season.
But he does a lot of everything. A lot of hits, a lot of runs, a lot of stolen bases.
Two balls, two strikes. The pitch to the left-hand batter. Line drive. Right to the shot stop.
Rock lined up to cut the fairway.
So that's one away and he almost had himself another hit, did he?
Yes he did, Harry. And you're talking about that first pitch to Mr. Brock.
The purpose pitch. Lomborg says when he became a real good pitcher this year, Sal Magley, the pitching coach of the Red Sox,
he was the first pitcher to come inside with a fastball. Make those hitters respect you.
Here now is Kirk Flood. And the first pitch is a curveball. He's too short and up his hips a butt and took it outside.
One ball, no strikes. One out and nobody on. The ball game has just started.
Second game in the World Series at Sunway Park, Boston. Here's the pitch by Lomborg.
Swung, round ball to the third base and fumbles it. Picks it up. Fumbles it around, picks it up, throws.
Still gets him at first base.
Kirk Flood had again a bad start away from the play. As Dalton Jones fumbled the ball,
reached for it, wasn't able to pick it up, reached for it again and then threw perfectly to George Scott
and barely beat Kirk Flood for out number two.
Well two up, two down. The Red Sox are already ahead of yesterday.
And at this time yesterday Brock was at second base with one out.
So here's Maryland, two out and nobody on base for the pitch. Curveball low and outside.
One ball, no strikes.
A hazy start of a day at Sunway today. Big crowd on hand.
Seventy-five degree weather. Here's the pitch. High pop ball back and out of play.
That evens it up with a ball and a strike. Two men are out. Nobody on base.
Top half of the first inning, no score. Al Barley to play it on fire.
Elston Howard talking to him at the moment. Joe Schultz coaching the third base.
Dixit for the first base for the Red Berets. Jerry Adair is playing Marist way back on the grass.
Back again right field. Here's the pitch on the way. He swings on a curve and he misses.
He took something off on his curveball and he had Marist way out in flat.
Real good pitch that time. Two strikes and a ball, two out.
Top half of the first inning. Cepeda kneeling in the on-deck circle.
Here's one bird. Popped up. Marist at the high pop fly. Adair backing out in the right field.
Barnable coming in. Barnable makes the catch.
At the last moment Adair got out of his way.
Nothing across for the five men from the top and first.
Top half of the first inning. St. Louis nothing. Red Sox nothing.
Hi honey I'm home. Hi I'm upstairs I'll be down in a minute.
Okay. How was your day? Oh yeah horrible.
Yeah I like your job again huh? Yeah yeah.
I was like a new super king-size Winston Big Red today. They're on the table in the hall.
In the golden red pack? That's right great day.
It's not how long you make it, it's how you make it long.
Mmm took our son to the dentist today. What happened? Twenty new cavities.
Ouch wowee. Mmm.
Well I can't find them honey. Oh listen John maybe they're in the table on the other side of the living room.
What's the table doing over there? What'd you do rearrange the furniture again?
No John I always keep the table over there.
John? Cynthia?
Who is your Fred Reader you're in the wrong house again.
It's the church, it's the church, it's the church.
We're in town.
This is Harry Carrey with Pee Wee Wee from Sunway Park Boston.
We're going to the bottom half of the first inning no score.
The Cardinals went down in order in their innings.
You know our Lambert went to Stanford University obtained a BA degree in biology.
I must say he dissected the Cardinal hitters in that first inning pretty well.
Here's Tardyball left handed hitter the first pitch he bumped down the third base line foul.
One strike and no ball.
Nobody on and nobody out. We go into the bottom half of the first inning.
Lead off man Jose Tardyball who hit.223 during the regular season.
He used to be with Kansas City.
Got no homers, can't eye the eyes.
Very fast.
He's from Cuba.
Straddles up wide waiting.
Out of pitch.
Here's Tardyball.
29 years old, 165 pounder.
Stand 511 a little smaller than that.
Two strikes no ball.
Vic Hughes without a windup delivered.
Fastball low and outside.
Two strikes and a ball.
I understand the Red Sox scouting report on Hughes indicated just an average fastball.
Here's the pitch.
Hung on high top fly right field Roger Maris coming in a few feet under the ball waiting.
He's got us one gone.
Tardyball fly to Maris and Wright.
I was going to say to you either.
If that's so the Red Sox might be surprised a little bit because this fellow's got better than an average fastball.
I would think so.
I think another thing we could watch for today Harry is that the third baser Mike Schaen,
I think he has the reputation of not being a real good feeling third baser.
They may try a few bunches and see how he looks down there.
Here's Dalton Jones had one out of four yesterday.
Left handed batter to pitch way outside.
Dalton Jones hit 289 during the season.
Had three homers.
Drove in 25 runs.
One out and nobody on the ball game bottom of the first no score.
Dick Hughes pitch.
He had a good cut and he fouled it back.
And the count is even at a ball and a strike.
Yeah it was indicated yesterday and again today that these Red Sox hitters,
they didn't have too much success perhaps yesterday but there's nothing tight about them.
They're swinging that bat.
Jones just had a real good cut.
He's got a pitch on the way.
He swings and misses strike two.
Two strikes and a ball.
One man out.
You see teams in the World Series sometimes and their hitters are quite obviously tight.
They're not getting their normal swing.
That's not true of the Red Sox at all.
They're getting their cut.
Here's the pitch.
He foul-tips it in and again he had a real good swing of the slider.
In on him.
The count, two strikes and a ball, one out.
Nobody on.
Bottom of the first.
Nothing ever changes.
Orlando Cepeda who always converses with anybody within reach around first base during the regular season
is doing likewise with the Empire today.
Here's a pitch low.
He's talking with Frank Umont down there.
Orlando, a very gregarious friendly soul, loves to chatter.
Reminds you a little bit in that respect of Yogi Berra.
Two-two pitch on the way.
Here it is to Jones.
He foul-tipped the curveball back.
Again he had a good cut.
And the count stays even.
Bobby Dore coaching at first base.
Ed Popowski at third base.
The outfield for the Cardinals straight away a beautiful afternoon.
At Fenway Park, Boston, second game of the 1967 World Series.
Cardinals leading one game to oh, here's the pitch to Jones.
Foul back.
And the count stays.
Two balls, two strikes.
I don't know whether that got our colleagues on the television side or not.
Kurt Gowdy and Ken Coleman.
The foul ball was headed in that direction.
Cardinals went down an order in their first inning.
First man up here for the Red Sox, light out.
Dalton Jones is the batter.
Two balls, two strikes.
On the left-hand hitter, here's the pitch.
He struck him out swinging.
He just blew that ball by it.
And Dalton Jones goes down swinging.
That's two out.
Listen to the hand for Carl Yastremski.
Carl Yastremski who did it all this past season.
Just a tremendously fabulous perfect ball player.
Two men are out.
You know a lot of baseball people compare Yastremski right now.
Here's the pitch to him.
And it's a slider high to Stan Huseel in his prime.
He's the same type of ball player, does everything so well,
and maybe even hits with a little more power.
Here's a pitch on the way.
Slow curve outside.
Two balls, no strikes.
I don't believe Gibson at any time yesterday threw any off-speed pitch to Yastremski.
It was all fast stuff.
And Hughes surprised me on that pitch.
Because his change is not one of his better pitches.
But he did dare throw it to Yastremski, but it was high.
Two balls, no strikes.
No pitch.
There's a drive, it would stay spare, it would be gone.
Fall ball.
Yastremski got out in front.
Hit that ball a mile, but foul.
And that brought a roar from the crowd.
Two balls and a strike.
Harry, I don't know what that pitch was,
but I don't think you better throw it anymore.
Whatever it was, you should throw it away, huh?
Here it is now.
Two balls and a strike, low and inside.
Three balls, one strike on the left-hand hitter, Yastremski.
Two men are out in the bottom of the first, no score.
The Cardinals got out in front first yesterday.
The Red Sox tied it.
The Cardinals then won it in the seventh.
Let's see how it'll go today.
Three balls and a strike.
Two out and nobody on.
Hughes gets set.
Dick was hit for 22 home runs during the National League season.
Jim Lombard pitching for the Red Sox was touched for 23 home runs
during the regular season.
So he's liable to see a long ball or two today.
Three balls and a strike on Yastremski who holds that bat high.
Here's the pitch.
He had a quantity miss.
Did you hear the reaction of the crowd?
That's when you've arrived as a star.
When when you swing and miss, you get the same kind of a reaction.
A very audible one as you do when you hit one out of the ballpark.
That's what you call the tribute to greatness.
Three balls, two strikes.
Only fellows like Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, Ted Williams,
Willie Mays, those are the guys that the crowd when they swing and miss
react as much as when they hit the ball out of the ballpark.
Three balls, two strikes, two out.
Yastremski up there.
No score.
Bottom of the first.
Dick Hughes against Jim Lombard.
Here's the pitch.
It hits his bat and goes foul.
He didn't mean to swing.
He had started.
The pitch was bad.
Low it in.
Inside it hit his bat and went foul.
Three balls, two strikes.
Yastremski was hit like yesterday, you know, against Gibson.
He was 0 for 4.
Playing in his first World Series.
Now the sign.
Three balls, two strikes.
Hughes' pitch.
He foul-tipped it back and what a riffle he had.
Yastremski went around with everything on that pitch but foul it up.
A handsome young man.
Went to Notre Dame, you know.
Three balls, two strikes.
Now the signal.
Dick Hughes gets set.
Shakes off two sides with his glove.
Yastremski gets out of the batter's box.
Sometimes they're really shaking the pitch off and other times they're just trying to psych the hitter.
To make him wonder what in the world does he want to throw to me.
Three balls, two strikes.
The pitch by Hughes.
Again he shakes it off with his glove.
Hughes usually pitches much more quickly.
This too might be attributed to Yastremski.
Dick Hughes ordinarily is one of the quickest workers in baseball.
He and Gibson are almost identical.
With the speed with which they throw.
D.W. I know you want to comment but I don't want to miss this pitch.
Here it is.
Three, two.
Ball four.
He wants it.
I was sitting here watching Tim McCarver and I think they were playing a game with Yastremski.
They were trying to make him wait and upset him.
McCarver would wiggle his glove and Dick Hughes would wiggle his glove.
I think they knew what they wanted to throw him but as you said they just wanted to try to needle him a little bit.
And Yastremski kept backing out of there.
Well that brings up George Scott now.
He was a good hitter yesterday with two out of three.
He was a fine hitter during the regular season with a 3-0-3 average.
19 homers.
Yastremski lead the throw over.
He's back standing up.
George Scott.
19 homers, 82 runs batted in.
Look at the lead by Yastremski.
Quick throw but he's back.
Throws a little high.
Yastremski.
A running start off first base.
Here's Hughes' pitch.
Scott takes a fastball low.
One ball, no strikes.
Two men are out.
A runner at first base.
The first base runner of the ballgame.
We're in the bottom of the first inning at Fenway Point.
The second game of the World Series.
The action shifts to St. Louis Saturday afternoon.
Here's the stretch.
The pitch.
He had a cut and he missed.
One ball, one strike.
Two men are out.
You can tell the way these Red Sox hitters swing that bat why.
They score a lot of runs.
Why they did during the American League season.
Here's the stretch.
The pitch.
Kerr ball is high.
And the count.
Two balls and a strike.
Dick Hughes appearing in his first World Series game.
After a checkered minor league career, all of a sudden, here he is.
The stretch pitch.
A little bit wide.
Two men at ball three.
Three balls and a strike.
Dick Hughes, born at Stevens, Arkansas, lives around Shreveport.
Scoreless game.
Yes, Stremski, the only base runner so far with a walk is at first base.
Three balls, one strike on George Scott.
Big right-handed batter.
Here's the pitch.
Strike two, Kerr.
So now, yes, Stremski will be going with the pitch.
Dick Hughes' career started in towns like Keokuk, Winnipeg, Winston-Salem,
Tulsa, Portland, Atlanta, Yark.
Here's the stretch.
The pitch.
There goes a runner, swung and fouled by.
And the count remains three and two.
I mentioned Yark, Jacksonville, Toledo.
And finally, the tail end of last season, he came up with the Cardinals.
And now here he is, pitching in the World Series after his first full year in the National League.
Three balls, two strikes.
Yes, Stremski will be going.
And the pitch.
There he goes.
He struck him off.
A slider.
And Scott went down swinging.
No runs, no hits, no errors, one left.
At the end of one inning, St. Louis nothing, Boston nothing.
When this World Series is over, can winter be far behind?
No, it won't be long now before your car has to battle ice and snow.
So why not get it into shape for the offseason now with snow tires from B.F. Goodrich?
They're built tough to drive one through the tightest defense winter can muster.
BFG TrailMaker Silvertown snow tires have a husky modern tread that really digs in,
takes offshore and stops just as surely.
TrailMaker's deep biting edges pull you through.
Tough four-ply nylon cord construction means more safe driving miles.
And TrailMakers never shout their own praises.
They run quiet on wet or dry roads.
Steel safety studs, sure, if you want them.
So get on down to your BF Goodrich dealer and get your car decked out for winter driving.
Open a BFG Choice Charge account and you won't have to plunk a penny down.
BF Goodrich TrailMaker Silvertown snow tires only at your BF Goodrich store or dealer.
We go into the top of the second.
The Red Sox have had the only base runner with two out Yostremski Wap,
but George Scott fanned on a 3-2 pitch.
So Hughes has struck out two in his first inning,
as did Bob Gibson, two in his first inning yesterday.
The commissioner of baseball, William D. Eckert,
entertaining a war hero here today.
Here's Orlando Cepeda, Lomborg's first pitch, curveballed outside and high.
Cepeda hit list yesterday, batted 325 during the regular season,
25 home runs, 111 runs batted in.
Led the league in that RBI.
They play Cepeda straight away and deep.
He hits the ball to all fields with power.
Here's the pitch.
Chug at a fastball and he missed.
Lomborg jammed them.
That's where pitchers try to pitch Cepeda.
But you better have plenty of mustard on that fastball, high and tight.
If it isn't a real good fastball, you'll hit it out of sight.
One ball, one strike.
Cepeda leading off.
Here's the pitch.
There's a high pop fly in the left field.
Yastremski under the ball and he's got it.
Cepeda hit a high, towering but short fly ball to left field.
And Yastremski caught it handily.
That wind, Pee Wee, might be even stronger than we suspect from the way that ball acted.
Well, it's a very tough play.
The infield has had to really watch the ball, especially around the stands over here.
It really comes back in and you have to stay right with it all the way.
Here's Tim McCarver, the pride of Memphis, Tennessee.
One out of nobody on McCarver hit those yesterday with nothing out of three.
Lomborg getting set.
Into the windup he goes, the pitch on the way to the left hand hitter,
and he started to swing, held up a curveball low.
One ball, no strikes.
McCarver, who never alibis, but just in discussion,
was saying that he had difficulty picking the ball up at the plate yesterday.
That somehow he just couldn't quite see the ball.
One ball, no strike.
Here's the pitch.
And it's high outside, ball two.
I like this Lomborg's fluid pitching motion.
He's really loose out there and has an effortless way of handling himself.
Two balls, no strikes.
One out of nobody on McCarver, the hitter.
No score when the top of the second with one out.
The pitch on the way.
Ground ball to the first baseman, Scott.
He's got it.
The pitch is going to cover.
He's out from Scott, the Lomborg.
He had an example there of McCarver going down the line.
Probably one of the fastest running catchers in baseball.
It's rare when a catcher can run.
McCarver has better than average speed, even though he is a catcher.
Here's Mike Shannon.
He had two hits yesterday.
Lomborg has retired the first five men that he has faced.
And there is no score.
There's been only one baserunner.
That was just Strumsky on a walk.
Here's the pitch.
Shannon started to swing out up.
Curveball caught the corner.
And he looks back to talk to Al Barlich.
Al Barlich, the dean of National League umpires.
Now to wind up the pitch.
It's a curve at Dandy's.
Strike two.
And boy, he snapped one out that time.
Lomborg with a good, sharp, overhanded curveball.
And he's ahead of Shannon, two strikes, no ball.
Two out.
Nobody on base.
Javier would be next.
Lomborg gets set.
The pitch on the way.
Here it is.
Sidearm swung.
Bouncing ball to Dalton Jones, but is foul.
Fields it behind the bag on the foul side.
They're two men out.
The Cardinals so far have had no hits and no runs.
The Red Sox so far have had no hits and no runs.
The Red Sox have had one man reach base on a pass.
That's the whole story in a nutshell, as it were.
On a balmy day at Fenway Park in Boston.
There's no way you can have this kind of weather in Boston at this time of year.
All the riders from all over the country.
Here's the pitch on the way.
Shannon's.
Hooked him out.
Had a cut and missed.
Shannon goes down the swing.
One, two, three, nothing across.
And the end of an inning and a half.
St. Louis nothing.
Boston nothing.
Now, Romeo said, Julie, baby, our little compact is a bust.
I've been down to see the Dodge boys.
They got a man size dart for us.
Dart give a fever.
Dodge fever.
Where's that sleek shape?
Fever that's got everyone.
Fever.
You're gonna love it.
That's why Dad is number one.
You get the fever.
Dodge fever.
You get the fever.
Dodge fever.
Dodge Dart.
America's largest selling six passenger compact.
See and drive Dart today at your nearby Dodge dealers.
And while you're there, pick up your free copy of Joe Garagiola's World Series scorebook.
And all participating Dodge dealers.
We go to the bottom of the second and Reggie Smith will lead it off.
Reggie had one on a three yesterday, laid out a hit.
Eighty-four degrees.
Tony Kubik informs me.
As he takes his jacket off.
Here's the pitch to left-hand hitting Reggie Smith, a curveball outside.
I started to mention riders from all over who are covering the series.
Naturally expected cool weather in Boston.
All have heavy clothes.
Yours truly included.
The pitch swings and he misses.
But we have had perfect midsummer type weather at Fenway Park these two days.
One ball, one strike.
Reggie Smith who hit.246 during the regular season.
Left-handed batter with great speed.
Dick Hughes is set for delivery now.
He had a cut and he missed.
Two strikes and a ball.
Bob Gibson, fan ten yesterday for the card.
Dick Hughes looks down.
He wears glasses.
He has his sign.
Now the pitch.
Here it is.
High pop foul coming back.
Here's McClark who might have a play.
He's under the ball.
He takes it.
Reggie Smith fouls to McCarver.
One away.
And here comes Adair.
Jerry Adair.
The second baseman.
An Oklahoma boy.
A basketball star at Oklahoma State.
Under our good friend Hank Iba.
Right-handed batter, the pitch.
Bouncing ball.
Shannon to his right.
Foul ball though.
One strike and a ball.
Adair hit.273 during the regular season.
With three homers and 35 runs battered in.
Hitless in four trips yesterday.
Striking out two times.
Right-handed hitter.
Here's Hughes getting set.
The pitch.
There's a drive.
Deep left field.
Brock going back.
He makes the catch.
Through Brock leaps high against the left field wall.
And between Yastremski and Brock,
you wonder what you have to do to get a base hit in left field.
A great play robbing Adair of extra bases.
He cleans up the ballpark after we're through here.
Two-man run.
And here's Rico Petracelli.
The shortstop.
Right-hand hitter.
Swings.
Back and out of play.
One strike and no ball.
Brock went right to the base of the green monster that time.
To the left of the scoreboard.
Leaped high and came down with that ball.
Two-meter out.
Here's the pitch.
Fastball high inside.
I guess he said as he threw the ball back to the infield,
Pee-wee.
There you are, Yaz.
You're not the only guy who can do that.
One ball, one strike.
Two out, nobody on.
Petracelli the hitter.
The delivery.
Curveball in there of beauty at the knees.
There's every hitter's all-American weakness.
That sharp-breaking curveball on the outside corner at the knees.
Two strikes and the ball.
The pitch.
Just barely missed that same corner with the same kind of a curveball.
And the count evens on Petracelli.
He hit.259 during the regular season with 17 homers.
Swirl of dust causes the game to be delayed for a moment.
Petracelli steps back into the batter's box.
Neither team has had a hit in this ballgame yet.
No hits, no runs.
The pitch.
High fastball.
Ball three.
That's the third hitter that Hughes has had a full count on.
One he won't be a strumsky.
The other one, Scottie struck out.
Let's see what he's going to do with Petracelli.
Two men around, nobody on base.
Hughes gets set.
Shakes off a sign with his glove.
Here's the pitch.
There's a line drive.
They hit.
Petracelli laying the single pass down and who dove in vain for that ball.
So Petracelli is on with a solid single in the left field.
And Tim McCarver goes out to talk to you.
As I mentioned, the first hit of the ballgame.
A line single.
Mike Shannon left his feet in a headlong dive but couldn't reach it.
Harry talking about Tony Kubek.
Tony Kubek and I were standing back here yesterday after the game was over.
No hurry to go anyplace.
And we saw something we'd never seen before.
The Red Sox came out after everyone had gone and took batting practice.
And Rico Petracelli was one of them.
And I said Rico, did you learn anything?
Yes, he said, yes I did.
I think my stance was too much close.
I'll open up.
I think I'll get some hits today.
Well he did.
Here's Elston Howard.
First pitch.
One on.
Fly ball deep center.
Under the ball.
Flood.
He's going to get it near the track.
He's got it.
And that retires inside.
Elston Howard on the first pitch hit a towering fly ball.
No runs, one hit, no errors, one left.
At the end of two innings the score, St. Louis nothing, Boston.
Nothing.
Hi, this is Malcolm Meany.
Maybe you don't recognize my name, but you know my face right away.
I always play the bad guys in the movies.
I had this real heavy beard, I looked mean as anything.
Whenever I came on the screen people always said, hey, what's that guy's name again?
Well his name was Malcolm Meany because that was me.
And right now I, Malcolm Meany, would like to register a complaint against the Gillette Razor Company.
They came out with their super stainless blade, the spoiler, and I've been out of work ever since.
You see that blade has a miracle plastic coating on the edge that reduces the pull when you shave.
So I tried the spoiler and I got to like it so much I would shave all the time.
And I became clean shaven.
Well you can't be a bad guy if you're clean shaven.
I'm not the type to be a good guy.
So I've been out of work for a long time.
Of course my private life is picked up by and get a lot of girls.
I never got girls before.
But where can you take your girl when you've got no money?
While we're going to the top half, the third inning of the small game here at Fenway Park,
Harry Carrey and I'm Pee Wee Reese bringing you to the second game of the World Series.
No score in this ball game, the top half, the third.
Come on in Harry.
Alright here's Juli Javier who had two out of four yesterday.
Hit 281 during a regular season.
Very fast, can hit the ball with power.
Now wind up by Lon Borg and here's the pitch.
There's the ground ball and it's short.
Petrocelli up.
There's the peg.
He should get him.
He does.
He's got a great arm.
Petrocelli throws out how he won.
One away and another bring up down, Maxville.
And Jim Lon Borg continues to pitch perfectly.
He is retired, seven in a row.
Here's Maxville.
Hit less than two tries yesterday, walked twice.
Hit 227 during the regular season.
One man out, nobody on base.
We're in the third.
No score.
The pitch by Lon Borg, here it is.
Line drive to Scott.
Maxville lying to the first baseman, Scott.
And there's two away.
They've been two balls hit.
Rather well, Maxville's that time and Brock leading off line to Petrocelli.
So here's Dick Hughes.
Now during the regular season, Hughes likes to bundle up.
He's a pretty good bunner.
And he's not really the softest touch in the world as a hitter for a pitcher.
He can sting you here and there.
Lon Borg is retired, eight men in a row.
Here's Dick Hughes.
The Boston right-hander has his sign and a pitch.
Swings and he fouls it back.
One strike, no ball.
Hughes works very quickly and so does Lon Borg.
We had a two-hour, 22-minute ball game yesterday and the way this one's rolling along
might be even quicker today.
Here's the pitch.
And it's a strike-two call.
Over the inside corner, just below the letters.
Two men are out, nobody on base.
The outfield plays Hughes very shallow and right.
Medium in the other two fields.
The pitch.
He's struck it out.
Sidearm curve.
And it's one, two, three again.
Nothing in front.
At the end of two and a half innings, the cardinals nothing, the Red Sox nothing.
Well, how about that?
Well, how about what?
I forgot my cigarettes.
Oh, yeah?
Tell you what.
Then try one of mine.
Try one of yours?
Try one of mine.
Have a Salem.
I think I will.
Drive on a mine.
Turn to Salem, turn to Salem.
For a take that springtime press.
Fenway Park.
Harry Caron on Pee-wee Reese.
We're bottom half to third of the league.
No score in this ball game.
Jim Lombard, the pitcher, the first hitter.
And he's not a bad guy.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jim.
I'm sorry.
Good one.
You did a good job.
the bottom half to third at no
score in this ball game.
Jim Lombard the pitcher the
first hitter and he's not a bad
hitter either.
I know he he can swing that
bad.
He's helped himself in a number
of occasions.
Peewee and he leads it off here
in the third inning.
And remember the game that won
the pennant for the Red Sox.
It was Lombard who started it
all with a safe but he swings
and he misses the first pitch
strike one.
Shannon the cardinal third
baseman is playing even with the
bag one strike no ball the pitch
fastball a little bit low and the
count is even and a ball on the
strike.
The sun has gone hiding behind
the cloud at the moment one ball
one strike.
Here's a pitch by you.
He swings and misses a fastball
strike to Maris is playing
medium right there.
Flood shades him over towards
right.
Brock is far across in left
center.
He's got a little bit of a
chance to get a strike.
Now the signal two strikes and a
ball on the right handed batter
the pitch.
He struck him out swinging
Lombard becomes the third
strikeout victim for Dick Hughes
and boys we got a pitching deal
going on here today between two
young men appearing in the first
World Series game.
Twenty four year old Jim
Lombard twenty nine year old
Lombard is a fastball on the
right hand side.
He's got a little bit of a
chance to get a strike.
Right off the right his first
time up good speed left handed
batter Shannon plays him shallow
the pitch.
It's a curve in there a strike
is called one strike and no ball
a capacity crowd of course you
can get it just about thirty
five thousand into this ball
park.
That's about what they have now
the pitch and it's a fastball
one out nobody on bottom of the
third has been only one hit in
the ball game a single by Rico
Petrus selling the Red Sox
shortstop now the pitch here it
is fastball outside Hughes has
been moving the ball around on
targetable Jose Tartabal T.R.
T.A. B.U.L.L.
Hughes gets that here's the
pitch he struck out on a change
of pitch Tartabal becomes the
fourth strikeout victim and so
there is Don Jones coming up he
found his first time there's two
out nobody on just checking
Peewee.
Yes.
Trimsky is yet to come to bat
with a man on base in this World
Series.
Each time he was up yesterday
the bases were empty.
I'll take that back.
He came up with a man on on the
sixth.
Here's a slow curve in there to
Dalton Jones for a strike call
Dick Hughes suddenly has gone to
off speed pitches here in the
third inning two men are out
nobody on base no score the
pitch swung on high pop foul
over to the stands so pay the
coming over but it's out of
play behind the commissioners
backs few rows back and so the
count two strikes and nothing on
Dalton Jones the Red Sox third
base left handed batter good
hitters fellow born in McCall
Mississippi.
This is fourth year in the
American League with a red side
just 24 years old.
Here's the pitch fastball low on
outside just barely missed that
corner two strikes and a ball
not too much excitement is yet
and the crowd is just sitting
back in anticipation waiting for
the explosion for me to one side
or the other two strikes one
ball left hand batter waits the
pitch high pop fly right field
Maris coming in near the foul
line under the ball he's got it
to retire the side Jones flies
to Maris one two three for the
Red Sox in the bottom of the
third and at the end of three it
still Cardinals nothing.
Boston nothing if you're swinging

Schenectady still a rock and

They're a great back outstop.
I can't stop the world.
Sparkling play by the Red Sox
second baseman Jerry out there
and I was part flood one out
landborg has an a lot of base
runner the pitch to the
right handed batter curve ball
outside he's short in the bun
one ball no strikes one out no
score top of the fourth hurt
flood the hitter Roger Maris
would be next landborg working
on a perfect game.
He's retired 10 in a row.
Now to wind up the pitch.
He had a cut and he missed the
fastball that even to the ball
and a strike.
I'm sure you all recall that
there was once a perfect game
pitched in World Series
competition probably the most
unbelievable feed of all.
Here's the pitch high and
inside for a pitcher to retire
twenty seven men in a row
without anybody reaching base.
The odds against that happening
must be something like 18
zillion to one.
Don Larson did it.
Here's the pitch.
Ground ball hit it for left
field.
Here's the pitch.
Petruchelli up for the ball
throwing it's going to be close
argument.
First.
Petruchelli went to his right
came up with a ball fire and
just got first base on a post
call.
Frank Yuman.
Here's the first beat for the
ball game from Kirk Flood who
now trots across to the cardinal
dugout Petruchelli a fine play
on the throw and he had to have
something on it.
Or there would have been no
chance.
Here's Maris.
The.
Curve.
Or learn more.
Is just as sharp as a man can be
hitting the corners keeping the
ball down as command of his
fastball as well as his breaking
ball.
Let off that time low.
And the count.
Maris.
One ball one strike two men are
out.
The cardinals haven't had a
baserunner.
The Red Sox have had only one
hit.
No score in the top of the
fourth.
Here's the pitch to Maris.
Fastball low.
And the count two balls in a
strut.
Roger Maris who drove in both
runs yesterday in the cardinals
two to one.
The Red Sox have had a victory
over the Red Sox.
Roger straddles the plate swings
that batter on.
A home run threat.
The pitch.
Low inside.
All three.
And they're on board for the
first time is in danger of
losing a man.
Three balls one strike two out
nobody on base.
And the crowd here at Fenway
Park.
Jim Lombard.
Three balls and a strike.
The big right hander delivers.
High pop foul out of play.
Into the stand.
And that'll give you a tip off
how fast Lombard is.
With three and one Maris was
swinging but he couldn't pull the
trigger quite fast enough he got
around late.
On a fastball and fouled it into
the third base stand.
And the Red Sox.
Three balls two strikes.
No Cardinal has reached first
base yet.
So paid a weighty.
He's in the on deck circle.
Maris three balls two strikes.
Lombard leaning forward.
Here's the pitch.
High pop flying in field.
That'll be easy.
Dalton Jones getting the ball
up.
Petrusali.
You get under it.
That has popped up.
One two three.
At the end.
Three and a half it is that
still Cardinals nothing.
Red Sox.
Nothing.
Petrus partir Tony this badge
with trifle.

35,188 today, slightly larger crowd than yesterday
Here's Carl Yastrowski to lead it off in the bottom of the fourth, no score
Dick Hughes gets set
His uniform already drenched with perspiration
It's a muggy day, here's a pitch
He had a cut and he missed
Does he ever unload when he swings that bad, Pee-wee?
Yes he does, Harry
And another thing, you're talking about the power of Yastrowski
He may have a little more power than Stan Musial
But up until this year, I think the most home runs he ever hit was 16
He just acquired this power this year
That's the way Stan was early in his career, he didn't hit many
Here's the pitch, there it goes, way back
It might be out of here
It put me in there
Oh, over
Holy cow, did he pop that ball out of there
Yastrowski a line drive, here's Scott
Here's a bouncing ball, left-fist, face-in
Scott signals to left
And now the Red Sox getting to the cube
Now Yastrowski, line one deep into the right field corner
At about the 380 mark
Now Scott signals to left
And here's Reggie Smith
This crowd came roaring to its feet
Yastrowski has put the Red Sox on the scoreboard in the World Series
Just as he did so many times during the regular season
Reggie Smith with the runner at first, nobody out, Dick Hume
The pitch, it's a fastball sinking low
The Cardinal bullpen stirs
Nobody's actually started to throw yet, but they're starting to move around
Hughes, it's a muggy day
Temperature 84 and it's humid
Especially down on the field, and his uniform is soaked with perspiration
A pitch to Smith, high-five ball, left-fail, rock going back, back
Near that fence, he's got room, calling for the ball
He takes it, here's Scott tagging up at first
But Brock throws and almost overthrows everybody
Threw the ball over Javier's head and Dick Hughes
Halfway between first and second had a lead
Brock with a strong arm, almost overly strong at that time
But Scott was only decoying anyway
So Smith is flying up
Here's Jerry Adair
He was robbed of an extra base hit on a leaping catch by Brock in the second inning
Carl Jostremski's home run has given the Red Sox the lead
1-0
Here's a throw to first Scott back
Don't be surprised, the Red Sox have the momentum
Jerry Adair can handle the bat
Dick Williams, the manager of the Red Sox, may send George Scott
To stretch the pitch
A bouncing ball, got a chance to beat it out down the third base line
Hughes with three, sling
An infield hit for Jerry Adair
So the Red Sox have runners at first and second
Adair, top one, down the third base line
Hughes made quite an effort
Running over towards the line, picking the ball up on the run
Running away from first base
He had a leap in the air and throwing the other direction
Bulls have paid off the bat
Here's Petroseli
He got the first hit of the afternoon
A single in the second inning
There have been three hits in this inning
One run, a lead off homer by Jostremski
The score one to nothing, Boston
Here's the stretch, the pitch
Petroseli takes a curve at the knee
Larry Jaster, a left-hander for the Cardinals in the bullpen
And Jack Lamaid, who used to be a member of the Red Sox
Pitch bottom for two years, is out in the bullpen
Runners at first and second with one out
Petroseli the bat
Jostremski let off the inning with a homer
Here's the pitch
He had a cut and he missed
Swung in a bad ball up around his ad example
And the count, two strikes
Elston Howard would be next
The Red Sox have taken the lead for the first time in the 1967 World Series
They never led it any time yesterday, they were tied until the seventh
Today they're the first to score
Now the stretch, from the belt, here's the pitch
High pump foul coming back
No play on the screen
And so it's two strikes and nothing, Enrico Petroseli
Jerry Adair is at first base
George Scott at second base, there's one out
Jostremski has already circled the bases with his first homer of this World Series
And what a belt it was
A line drive, hit like a shot
Two strikes, no ball
Now the delivery, here it is
Low outside
Two strikes and a ball
Jostremski's line drive
He hit that one like Peewee hits the golf ball
I'm glad you didn't say baseball
I would have to be truthful, Peewee
Two strikes and a ball, the pitch
There's a high drive foul into the left field corner, out of play
A powering one too
So it's still two strikes and a ball
35,188 made this afternoon
34,796 yesterday
Enrico Petroseli with the red signs, leading one to nothing
Teammates at first and second, one out
The count, two strikes and a ball on him
Dick Hughes trying to pitch out of trouble
Now the delivery, high pop foul coming back
McCarter off at the mask, no play
Onto the screen
And the count stays the same, two strikes and a ball
The action will switch to St. Louis
The third, fourth and fifth game, if necessary, will be played in St. Louis Saturday, Sunday and Monday
And then the sixth and seventh games, if necessary, in Boston
Following Wednesday and Thursday
Here's Petroseli
Runners at first and second, one out
The stretch, the pitch, he foul-tipped, had a good cut
And he's still alive up there
The pitch that Dostromsky lined into the stands
Looked like it was a slider or fastball to the inside part of the play
Two strikes and a ball
One to nothing in favor of Boston
We're in the fourth
Petroseli wears a helmet with that ear flap on it
Extra protection
Now the signal, waiting
Dick Hughes gets set
Here's the pitch
Low outside, that evens it up
Two balls, two strikes
Larry Jaster and Jack Lemabe are working out in the bullpen for St. Louis
Jim Lombard has pitched perfect baseball for four innings
He's retired 12 in a row
Runners at first and second
Right hand batter waits
The 2-2 pitch off the stretch, here it is
Foul back and he had a good cut
Petroseli's a strong little fella
He's small in size, but
When you hit 17 home runs and drive in 66 runs
You know you got some power
Great call Petroseli
Straddles the play
Chokes up about an inch on the bat
Two balls, two strikes
Hughes pitch
And here it is
He struck him out swinging
Chased a bad ball high and inside
And that's the fifth strikeout
For Hughes
And here's
Elston Howard
Right out deep to center his first time up
Right handed hitter
Howard
Straddles the play, waits
The pitch
Low curveball outside
Elston was in
Nine World Series with the Yankees
And now
In his 10th World Series as a member of the Boston Red Sox
One ball to the left
And 10th World Series as a member of the Boston Red Sox
One ball, no strikes
The stretch the pitch
Hot shot on the ground
Great play by Javier
Throws the second
He's out
Sensational play
Howard is robbed of a base hit
And Javier's diving stop
Gets up in time to throw
To the shortstop for the fours
And it's one run, three hits
The score, Boston 1, St. Louis nothing
Hello, my name is Timothy Timit
And I had a terrible experience the other day
I went to buy a pack of Joet Super Stainless blades
With Miracle Plastic Coating on the edge
So I asked the man for Joet Super Stainless
And he said, they call it the spoiler
They spent all our money to call it the spoiler
Why don't you ask for the spoiler?
Why do you come in here and ask for Joet Super Stainless?
Did he scare me?
I don't know whether to ask for the spoiler
To come to another store from now on
And then while you're at it
Why not try a can of new Joet Foamy Shaving Grip?
You know, Joet packs a mountain of smooth shaving comfort
In every can of new Joet Foaming
You get billows of creamy, rich foamy leather
That really soaks deep down into your beard
Keeps it soft and moist right through your shave
So for a shave as close as this year's
America League pennant race
Remember, nobody makes a lather like Foamy
So moist, so rich, so creamy
Nobody makes a lather like Joet
Well, boys, we had perhaps one of the greatest plays
Ever pulled off in World Series competition
With runners at first and second, Elston Howard
Hit what seemed a sure single to center
Javier reached the ball, diving on the grass in short center
And while on his knee, threw just in time to Maxville
For the force out, Peewee
One of the finest plays I've ever seen
And I didn't think he had a chance to get the ball
The only way he did, I just thought he may be able to knock it down
But after he came up with the ball, he still threw the man out
Here's the pay to leading off for the Cardinals
And the top of the fifth, first pitch and there's strike call
The Red Sox have one run
And the way Lomborg is pitching, it could be enough
The Cardinals haven't had a base runner yet
We're in the top of the fifth
Pitch to Sepeda Swann, bouncing ball to Dalton Jones
He's got it, he throws to first in time
Sepeda is 0-4-6 now in this World Series
One out and here's McCarver
And that is 13 men in a row retired by Lomborg
McCarver looking for his first hit of the series
One out, we're in the fifth
One to nothing in favor of the Red Sox
A remarkable play by Julian Javier, the Cardinals' second baseman
Prevented the Red Sox from maybe breaking the game wide open
McCarver waits
Here's the windup
And the fifth
Curveball strike off the corner
One strike and no ball
Lomborg is fanned too
He hasn't allowed a man to reach base
And the totals for the Cardinals really like this up on the board
No runs, no hits, no errors
Now the windup, the pitch
A little tap, foul
Strike two, McCarver didn't have a very good swing at that one
It was an off-speed type of pitch that fooled him
And the count, two strikes no ball
One out, fifth inning
One to nothing in favor of the Red Sox
On Carl Jostromski's home run
Mike Shannon will be up there next for the Cardinals
We're in the top of the fifth
Here's the fifth
Foul out of play, McCarver was trying to go to the opposite field
And the count, strike two, no ball
One out, nobody on
Top of the fifth
One to nothing in favor of the Red Sox
The second game of the World Series, here's the windup
The pitch, and it's high and outside
Two strikes and the ball
The Red Sox trying to even up the series
Jim Lombard, big good-looking right-hander
A California boy from San Luis Obispo
Two strikes and the ball
Here's the pitch
High, lazy, pop fly, left field, Jostromski coming over, he's got room
And he makes the count
McCarver pops to Jostromski in short left field
Two gone
And here's Mike Shannon
He fanned his first time up on three sharp breaking curve balls
Two men are out
The score, one to nothing Red Sox
A hot day in Boston
Lombard
He's very cool out there though
Two to the pitch
Shannon takes a curve strike ball
And Mike hasn't seen anything but a bending ball yet against Lombard
Whenever they find out that you can't hit something, they'll keep throwing it
You proved that you can
Here's the pitch
A high, pop, foul, back
High to play as Howard chases it, but it's in the stand
No ball
Lombard is forcing Shannon to give up, to give room at the plate
Give way
Falling away from him
The Red Sox have one run, four hits, no errors in this ballgame
And the Cardinals, nothing, nothing, nothing
They haven't had a man reach base
Jostromski's home run is the ballgame as of now
That plus Lombard's perfect pitching
Two men are out, nobody on base
The pitch to Shannon
He's struck them out
A curve ball
Shannon was ducking out of the way, but the ball was in there, it was strike three, ball
One, two, three, nothing in front
And at the end of four and a half innings, the score, Boston one, St. Louis nothing
La la la la la la la la
It's what's up front that counts
La la la la la la la la
And up front ahead of the filter
La la la la la la la la la
Only Winston has the good, good taste
La la la la la la la
That comes from filter blend
Filter blend means fine tobacco for the best taste yet
That's why Winston is America's largest selling cigarette
Winston's out front because up front only Winston has filter blend
Choice Golden Tobacco's specially selected for the best taste in filter
Longboard's fat when sailing out of his hands as he swung and missed strike one
Bottom of the fifth, one to nothing Red Sox, huge pitch
High pop clock, Javier backing out, Maris coming in
Roger takes it for the up
Longboard pops to Maris
One out, and here's Jose Tardibol
The right fielder, he's nothing out of two so far
A little fella who can run, likes to bump
And slash that ball to various fields
He's up there with one out and nobody on base and a bottom of the fifth
One to nothing the Red Sox
On call your Stremsky's home run
We don't mean to be redundant but we realize many people
Here's a pitch swung, hopped bow back out of play under the roof just above us here
We realize many people at this hour in various parts of the country are perhaps moving in and out of offices
And the score is always a paramount interest
Here's the pitch, fastball a little bit outside
Jim Longboard is retired, the first fifteen men in a row who have faced him
One ball, one strike, Dick Hughes' pitch
There's a five ball deep center field, flood back
He's got Romey's waiting, it'll be an easy out he takes
Tardibol flies to flood
Two men up, two men down, boy the action is fast today Peewee
Now both of these fellows, Dick Hughes and Jim Longboard, neither one of them takes too much time
And I think that's the way a pitcher should work
Well they've both been very successful so it certainly doesn't hurt them
Here's Dalton Jones, the first pitch is outside
Jones is 0 for 2 in this game, had one out of 4 yesterday
Two men around, nobody on base, the ball game and the fifth
One to nothing
Maybe the Red Sox, the pitch swung around all, Sepeta up nicely
Pitcher covers the toss, he's got it
One, two, three, a good play, Sepeta to Hughes
Nothing across to the cardinal for the Red Sox in the bottom of the fifth
And now at the end of five, the score remains Boston 1, St. Louis nothing
The guy who can come in off the bench and pinch it for real power, well he's the kind of insurance everybody likes to have
We mention this because all your grandstand managers are going to need some pinch hitting power real soon
What with winter just around the corner, you'll probably be changing the lineup on your car
And calling in a set of new snow tires
So why not get yourself the toughest pinch hitters in the entire winter league
B.F. Goodrich Trailmaker Silver Town Snow Tires
They'll come in cold and hip for power through the heaviest snow
They'll come right down to grips with ice, take off smooth in the most skittish places
They're built with new customized nylon cord so they can take
B.F. Goodrich Trailmaker Silver Town Snow Tires
Only at your B.F. Goodrich store or dealer
We pause 30 seconds for station identification
Pure the kind of ginger that goes into Saratoga ginger ale
Why? To make a ginger ale that's different
One you can drink by itself as well as a mixer
Take a sip and it's mellow, gingery, without anything at you
Even the bubbles are different, high spirited, but long lasting and never overwhelming
The people of Saratoga just can't bear to make a ginger ale like everybody else
This is WGYWGFM Schenectady
The first five innings of this ballgame are now history
The Red Sox have one run, four hits, no errors
The Cardinals no runs, no hits, no errors
And what is even more important, Jim Longboard has the perfect game
As we go into the top of the sixth, he has retired 15 men in a row
Hoolie and Javier will be leading it off for the Cardinals
And now moving in to tell you all about it is the former great shortstop
The Brooklyn Dodgers, Kurt Gowdy's partner on the game of the week, Colocass
And our own good friend and the man we're happy to be team with here on this broadcast
None other than the Louisville Colonel, Pee Wee Reese
Thank you very much, Harry, and a fine job
Yes, sir, Jim Longboard, the big Kyle Lattahenna for the Boston Red Sox
He found a way to stop these Cardinals from running
Yes, sir, you've had living one week, Dave
As Harry told you, he has retired 15 men in a row
Hoolie and Javier, the first man to face him in this first half of the sixth inning
Longboard, kicks that big left leg of his up in the air
Kerrball, he's had the damage today
Carl Strike one
Longboard, he takes that familiar pose on the mound every time
His feet close together
Kind of shoots over a little bit
Real good thinker
He gets ahead of you, he'll come sidearm by the way of third base with that Kerrball
And he has a dandy, as the Cardinals are found out today
This will be the second time around for the Cardinals in this ballgame
And it looks to me like they have not gotten on the Longboard you just
There's that Kerrball inside
One ball, one strike on Javier
Leading things off here in the top half of the sixth inning of the score
The Red Sox won, and the St. Louis Cardinals nothing
Yes, sir, a home run by Carl Yosemite
Longboard looking down through his toucher, Elston Howard
Javier, way back in that batter's box, pokes up on the bat a little bit
Elston Howard giving a sign, moves outside
Here's the pitch, a fastball hit right off the end of the battle with the Red Sox dugout
We've talked about Longboard, sitting in a great ballgame
Well, so has Dick Hughes
He's given up four hits and one run
Longboard, no run, no hit
And now the man is weak-based, we're in the top half of the sixth inning, Javier
One ball, two strikes on him
Moves that bat back and forth
Longboard, kicks that big left foot, Kerrball, a little high and outside
Makes the count two and two
The end field is about straight away, outfield not too deep
And Javier up there, he made a great play
To save a run, and could have been more
When Elston Howard hit a line shot back to the middle
He donned forward, came up with it, and flipped it to the shortstop
They're tying the sides, Longboard breaking pitch outside
A full count from the middle, and it's a great play
A full count, bringing two
The wind is blowing out
To right center
Longboard taking a little time
I believe this is only about the second and third hitters that he's had a long count on
I was thinking this could have been the first, with a little lazy glide in the right field
Jose Cardabor, could have moved that over
It does
Looks like Javier was fooled on his ball
Longboard on the three and two pitch, I believe he sat on curvy
Javier did not have a good cut
That brings up Dow Macphill with shortstop
Macphill round out to George Scott, he's first time up, Longboard quickly
No contact for Macphill
Longboard right back up on that rubber
Elston Howard down giving him a sign
Macphill up close to the plate, choked up on the bat, here's the pitch
Curve ball in there
Half back through
And both of these fellows can pop that catcher's net
It's one away, two strikes on Dow Macphill
Now Longboard is standing straight up
Let's try it on curveball, look out!
Well they say that Sal Magley, the pitching host for the Red Sox
Cost this fellow to be a little vicious
And by vicious I mean not try to really hurt a batter, just to come inside
Keep that hitter honest
If you ever have a chance to see Longboard, he's a big, handsome looking fellow
And the pitch is high and outside, ball two
And he doesn't look mean
Now when we used to see that Magley pitch for the Giants, he needed a shave and he looked rough
And we get on that now and he was rough
Longboard does not look rough
You better believe he is
He won 22 games this year
Macphill hits one back through the middle
That's a silly cut over in front of it
Oh, it's a drive shot!
That's a silly
Who did not touch the ball yesterday in the field
Hard bat rolling
Having a fine day today, made a couple of great plays
We have seen some good plays
Jerry Adara made a good play at second base
Javier at second base for the Cardinals
Nick Hughes is the hitter
The pitcher
Elton Howard giving his time
They don't play in two beats
Squares around the butt one down the first base line
George Scott coming in
He pals it straight back on the screen
We're in the top half of sixth game
There's two ways
One to nothing
The Red Sox over the Cardinals
High and inside to Hughes
Makes the count of one ball and one sack
During the season, Longboard started
39 games
He completed 15 of them
That one and one pitch to Hughes
A bat ball! You've got that outside corner
Maybe you can hear it
The umpire, Al Balik, the high and home play
When he calls a strike, you can hear him all over the park
And he's a great one
That one ball and two strikes, look out!
Longboard came inside with it
Almost got Hughes
As Harry told you, Longboard led the majors
and hit batsmen this season with 19
Two ball, two strikes on Nick Hughes
Longboard giving his time for Elton Howard
Moves outside, bat ball too high
And at the full count on the pitchers
Nick Hughes
He'll way
At the Cardinals' end
Well I'll pitch to the walk another one
Let's see what happens here
Here's the pitch
He's got it out!
Jim Longboard striking out
Nick Hughes
An in-call for the Cardinals
Nowhere to home
And nowhere
After five and a half things are played
The score, Boston Red Sox won the St. Louis Cardinals
Nothing
Some ball game, Pee-wee
And man, you've got to start thinking now
in terms of that perfect game
He has retired, Longboard
He has retired 18 in a row
And here's the guy stepping up there
who went off a fourth
with a homer
which represents the difference
in this one-to-nothing ball game
Boston leading
referring to Carl Yosemite
Yes sir?
Bob Gibson
Shut up, Carl Yosemite
Yes sir, the Red Sox got beat
Today he hit a home run and a line drive
in that right field seat
The first pitch for Yosemite
Inside, ball one
Nick Hughes
who has done a fine job for the Cardinals
but fails in this game by a score of one to nothing
as he ran up against the company
There's a slow curve ball in there
for a call strike one
So after throwing that fastball
during the last time
you may see something a little bit different
to him this year
but Harry says Hughes does not have a good change-up
Fastball
Little low
Two balls in one strike
As you can see that Hughes is pitching
careful to Carl Yosemite
Yosemite stands back in that batter spot
holds his hand high
He pokes up on the bat just a little bit
He has a close set
Nick Hughes looking down to his catcher Tim McCarver
Fastball right outside when McCarver was holding that glove
and they count two balls in two strikes
There's no one away when the bottom half is six-inning
And a fine ball game here today
as Jim Lombard
for the Red Sox
have retired 18 men in a row
Hughes taking a little time
His uniform
is soaking wet
Yosemite fouls it back
Now the Cavaliers name is 2-2
They play straight away on Yosemite
and deep
Yosemite used to hit a lot to left field
This year he's decided to pull
and has paid off
Hits 43 homers
Here's a ball fouled off to left
as Hughes trying to sneak that pitch
by him
The sun has gone in
It's overcast here at Fenway Park
It's kind of muggy
In fact it's almost hot
84 degrees
Tim McCarver out to talk
to his pitcher Dick Hughes
with a count of two and two on Carl Yosemite
leading things off for the Red Sox
in the bottom half to six-inning
Why didn't McCarver tell him?
He could have told him anything
They played a game with him the first time up there
Making him wait
McCarver moves outside
As it was, he goes to the left
Rocks over there underneath it
and takes it
Move back to left field
and when he brought that ball back in
it kind of tricked him a little bit
but he came up with it
The Cardinals lift that ball around the end of the field
George shots a big first baseman
He struck out and got a base
and he's one for two
He has one of the four hits
off Dick Hughes
Scott stands way back in that box
He really takes the riffle
Starts to check his swing holds up
Outside, ball one
They call him Tater
because that's what George Scott
calls a home run
Curve ball
Outside
Scott is a swinger
He looks at his coach, Popowski
down at third base to see if he wants him to top away
at this two and old pitch
Right inside
Ball three
It's one away
Bottom half for sixth inning
Scott got two for three yesterday
He had 19 home runs
during the season
82 runs batted in
That's not a bad year
Just got the outside corner
Makes it count three balls in one strike
Scott checks with Popowski
His coach at third base
Back in the batter's box
Dick Hughes is ready
Scott swinging that bat
That ball
Was he taking?
Looks like he was
It's now full count, three and two
And George Scott
with this is in there cannot take this one
Scott will be followed by Reggie Smith
Here it is
He held up on it, it was too high
For George Scott
It's the second walk given up by Dick Hughes
And that brings up Reggie Smith
Dick Williams
Likes for his club to run
They have fair speed
George Scott, a big man at first base
Well I know it's a pity to hold him on
But he can move
Now then Reggie Smith
wants the umpire Al Barlich
To take a look at the ball
Al decides to throw it out
So Dick Hughes has a new baseball
It's one away
Runner on first base, George Scott
The hitter is Reggie Smith
We're in the bottom half
The Boston Red Sox one
The San Luis Cardinals one and nothing
Dick Hughes flips the ball over to
Cepeda
George Scott may run
Reggie Smith and get a piece of that ball
That ball outside
No run
No hit
No errors for the Cardinals
Or the Red Sox one run, four hits
And no errors
We're in the bottom half to six innings
A flip to first base
George Scott not taking too big of a lead
I don't think that George Scott will get an open steal
It'll be a hit and run if he does go
That pitch is too low
Ball two
MacArthur after talks to Hughes
Cepeda comes in
Says something to Dick Hughes
Hughes on the year
Let's see what he did
How many games he started
Hughes started 27
He's got a big lead
Hughes started 27
During the season he completed 12
Has good control and he walked 48 men
The 2-0 pitch
Inside ball three
We have a little action
The Cardinal bullpen to Willard
Paying old the count on Reggie Smith
I imagine he'll be taking all the way
Dick Hughes will just try to get it down in there
It's too high
High and outside
For small four
George Scott goes down to second base
Reggie Smith down to first base
And out of the dugout
The manager of the Cardinal
Red Sandy
Well Harry
You have seen Dick Hughes so many times
This year
Do you think he may be getting a little tired?
He's had a tough ball game
I would think so
But I've seen him pitch out of these kind of spots before
What gets me, Pee Wee, is the way his uniform
Is just so absolutely soaked
With perspiration
And there must be a lot
Warmer down on that field than it is
Up here
The temperature was 84 degrees going into the game
Red is walking
Red Cheney is walking off the field
So Dick Hughes will stay in there
To pitch to Jerry Adair
I think Dick Hughes is doing a little more
Down on that field
Quite a bit more, Pee Wee
Right on first and second
It's one away
Jerry Adair is the hitter
And the catcher, Tim McCarver
Is pulling his center fielder
And getting Kurt Flood to come in a little bit
Kurt Flood is playing
Hit away in center field
Jerry Adair in that top
Position of his
Takes the first pitch out that
And Dick Hughes is getting a little wild here
As he wants good shots
And Reggie Smith
After getting the shrimp key out
Dick Hughes
Taking a little more time now
McCarver moves outside his catcher
McPitch
Hit to the third baseman's channel
He's got the ball
A hard hit ball by Jerry Adair
Down to Mike Cannon
Which could have been a double play
But Cannon could not find a handle
Everybody's safe
And Mike Cannon
Was getting an arrow on that
Hard hit ball by Adair
We have George Scott on his third
Reggie Smith on his second base
Adair on his first
And it looks to me like it's going to be all
Or Dick Hughes
As Red Singed comes out of that dugout
And Harry told me
That
Riles is warming up down there
I mean Willis
Riles is a starting 50
What about this Willis
Has a good sinker
He's a rookie here
Like Hughes his first year in the major leagues
He did a tremendous job
Appeared in 64 games for the Cardinals
He has a good curve ball
Primarily though it's his thinking fastball
That he depends on
It's tough play that time on
For Hughes
Adair hit the ball sharply
But asked Cannon
And after fumbling the ball
He had lost his chance for a double play
He might still have had a play at first base
On Adair but he was in no position
Upon taking the ball up
To throw and so he had to hold it
So it's going to be Ron Willis coming in
And we're going to pause 30 seconds
Here for station identification
Here in the giant reach of KNBR AM and FM
And we told you all of the fans
Took the warrior games on KNBR
Radio 68
And the
High school hires with beer
If it tastes you wanted pie time for hires
This was Harry Carrey
With Pee Wee Reeves
When the bottom half of the sixth inning
The Red Sox now have a chance to break this game open
After Yostrowski flat out the block
To start the sixth inning
George Scott walked
So did Reggie Smith
That put runners at first and second
Then Adair hit a sharp ground ball to Shannon
Which he could not feel cleanly
He was charged with an error
And that filled the bases
So the bases are loaded with only one out
The Red Sox have made one run and that was a homer
Yostrowski in the fourth inning
The turbo guys of this moment
A 1-1, full hit, no error
The Cardinals haven't had a man reach base
Jim Lomborg is working on a perfect game
And if Don Larson is listening somewhere
I don't guess anybody can appreciate
More Lomborg situation right now
Than the one man who knows what it is to a pitch
A perfect game in the World Series
Don Larson
The Cardinals haven't had a man reach 18 minutes of base
And the Cardinals have a man reach 18 minutes of base
And the Cardinals haven't had a man reach 18 minutes of base
However, the Cardinals will have the top of the batting order
Coming up in the seventh starting with Brock
So it's very important here
If the Red Sox can get out of this inning
Without too much damage
They're still in the world game
Cutter-Sully walks up now to him
With a chance to really break it wide open to the Red Sox
That's where Ron Willis
In predicts you
And about a half to six in it
The Red Sox
With a base hit right here
To go out and start to break this game wide open
The envy of the Sox off in second baseman
Back to double play
The Pater first
Shannon in it third
Hector Solley hits the ball hard
And it's going to be a close run going back
He's going to need the ball
But George Teller has no trouble tagging up the third
And scoring the second run of this ball game
And Reggie Smith
Tags up the second and goes over the third
And the Solley hits that ball hard
But Perksworth is right back there
And the Red Sox
Go out in front
And throw it to the numbers
We now have one of those on first and third
And it's two away
And the hitters Elton Hart
Elton Hart
Getting a nice hand
In Lombard
Coming to the on deck circle
And he's going to get a line shot
His last time up at Javier
Made to the great play on
The first hit by Willis
Is outside ball one
Willis started his career
In 1962 with Brunswick
66 to the Indianapolis
In St. Louis
Here's the pitch, a breaking pitch
And outside
One ball, one strike
Willis taking his time, look to his catcher
Tim McCarver, McCarver moves inside
Elton Hart, let's see what goes
To the third run of the Solley, McCarver
Bluffs down to third base
And Reggie Smith out of there
As Jerry Adair
Broke from first going to second
McCarver bluffs to fold
To second base and tries to
Pick Reggie Smith off third
But Reggie Smith did not
Fall far
And McCarver, McCarver
Sees the ball a little bit low but Mike Shannon
Blocked it
Yes he did, Shannon may have saved a run
He just blocked up
Throwing the dirt with his chest
They're going to give Elton
Hart a free ticket
To get Longbottom to pitcher
And you can hardly find them for that
Looks like it could get a little rainy here
I certainly hope not
Tim Longbarg
Getting a standing ovation
From these wonderful fans here
At Fenway Park in Boston
It's two away, the bases are loaded
Ron Willis, fastball
Look out
It almost got Jose Cardobo
Off the right in the on deck circle
As Tim Longbarg
Did not quite get around on that one
One strike on him
Willis holds pretty hard
You must be ready, Longbarg
As opening fans up a little bit
Willis looking down to his catcher
McCarver
Here's the pitch
Curveball
And they're going in there, half strike two
On it's third
Reggie Smith
On it's second
Joey Adair
On it's third, Elton Hart
The hitter, Jim Longbarg
The big pitcher who's done such a terrific job
Here today
He has retired 18 men in a row
He lost his bat
And that's a ball for Longbarg
And that's a ball for the Red Sox
Here in the bottom half of the six
One run
No hits, one and three men left on base
So the score
After six complete innings of Boston Red Sox
Two and the Cantor's Cardinals nothing
Once again we're happy to present
This is Harry Carrey with Pee Wee Reese
At Sunway Park
They've turned the lights on
Skies have darkened considerably
And the lights have been turned on now
The Cardinals going into the top of the seventh
Have yet to put a man on base
Lou Block will be leading it off
So the Cardinals will have Black, White and Brown
Trying to break Jim Longbarg's streak
Which now is
18 consecutive batters
Retired
We're getting a few drops of rain
And more than just a few drops
And some of the fans now scurry
For a shelter
The total at this moment
Two runs, four hits, no errors to the Red Sox
No runs, no hits, one error
For the St. Louis Card
So the rain
Has started here in Boston
And this balmy summer weather
Is going to come to an end
Lou Block leads it off
And here to tell you about it is Pee Wee Reese
Thank you Harry
Lou Block leading things off
In the top half of seventh inning
Longbarg
Has picked a great game
For the Red Sox, they've beaten this ballgame
By a score of two to nothing
Elton Howe, Elton Howe holds it, hug it right in the middle
Ball hit hard, durrata
Up with one hand,
Kicked the ball over his red shot
As the Red Sox
Kicked that ball around the infield
Elton Howe, out to talk to his
Pickers, Jim Longbarg, and I'm sure
That Jim Longbarg knows
What's happening in this game
I was in that game with Van Lawson
When he beat the Brooklyn Dodgers
And didn't allow any others
To reach base
Reach base is a little embarrassing, hey?
Kurt Blood
Jim Longbarg
Looked down, the big kick
And a tinker in there for call strike one
I imagine you will hear the fans here
At Fenway Park too
With every pitch now
As we're in the top half of seventh inning
And Jim Longbarg has the perfect
Game so far
Little high
One ball, one strike
Kurt Blood
Had quite a year
With the Cardinals hitting 3.35
A tough man to strike out
The pitch is outside
Two balls in one strike
Longbarg keeps looking at his thumb
Like he may have a blister
Need something to watch closely, Billy
After each pitch
I noticed him during that last Sunday
He checked his thumb
But I'll say one thing for him
He doesn't seem to be losing
Anything off of that fast ball
Or his curve ball
Kurt Blood had a real good ripple shot
When pounded back and it counted 2-2
Longbarg with those
Feet close together
Elton Harris giving the sign
Kurt Blood holding that bat high
Not too big, he's got good speed
Longbarg pat on curve ball
Just now
It's a full count 3-2
Steve Carlton, the young left hander
Of the Cardinals is now working
In the bullpen
A full count
On Kurt Blood
As Jim Longbarg gets
A new ball
The outfield, the infield
Straight away, Longbarg
Goes to his mouth, wipes his hand off
Wipes his fingers off on every pitch
He's looking down for the sign
He has it, the kick
The throw, and he pounded back
And Kurt Blood
Is still alive
I believe now
Peewee, this is only the fourth man
That he's come down to a full count on
I would say
It's quite a ball game
Yet Hughes got it for the
Cardinals
Gave up to Ron Willis
As a little lazy fan, no one will
Catch that one, down the right field line
George Scott, the first baseman going over
Cannot catch up with it, way back up in the stands
And the count remains 3-2
Blood, of course
Has not had a hit today
As
No one else on
The Santa Cruz Cardinals
He got it out to the third baseman
Got it out to the shortstop
Which is a real close play on both of them
The pitch, the kick by Longbarg
Is right outside
And that's the first man
To reach
Base against Jim
Longbarg, as Kurt Blood
Gets a base on ball
Well, we will not have a perfect game
He still hasn't given up
For his ball play, we
Roger Maier
He popped to the right
He popped to the shortstop
He's all for two
Kurt Blood, who has good speed
It's one away
The Red Sox
Are out and far through to nothing
Longbarg makes a flip over to George Scott
The whole team is in the lead
He makes a flip over to George Scott
The whole Kurt Blood, close
Longbarg, working with three days rest
He looks down at his catcher
Roger Maier hits one out in the left field
He steps it going back, he has it
Hits it all back
To the shortstop, Ketra Silly
And Ketra Silly in the middle there
Elston Howard out to top
To a pitcher
In Longbarg
The hitter
Orlando Cepeda
He is the big man
Of the Cardinals, has been all year
But in the series, in the first game
And here in the second game
He has not had a hit
He's all for six
He's overdue as he's
Climbing that right foot of his
He's got some dirt
They call him the bull, he looks like a bull
The hair has grown out of the dirt back of his foot
He has a cold stance
The first pitch
A breaking pitch a little bit too high
One ball on him
In Longbarg, taking a little time
Kurt Blood on his first base
Who likes to run
What's this, Cardinals trail by
Nothing? I doubt if they will send Kurt Blood
Longbarg
Looking down to
Elston Howard, here is the pitch
Curve ball too high
They want to give this big fella a chance
To have this ball game up
Cepeda checking with his
Coach, Joe Shilkes out at third base
Longbarg
Looking down for his sign
He comes down, looks over at first base
At Kurt Blood, here is the pitch
Hit hard
He comes up for the sixth ball
There he goes
Kurt Blood at second base
And that's all for the Cardinals
In the top half of the seventh inning
No air
No air, the one man left on base
And the score after six and a half
Played a cross and two
And the ball goes Cardinals nothing
One and a half to seventh inning
And a little shot by Rico Petrocello
Just made quite a play
It was a tough chance
In between her, a short hop
And Rico
Look here what I have
And Jim Longbarg
Almost lost his no hitter
But he still has it going
He can't pick his perfect game anymore
As he walked Kurt Blood
But I'm sure the most
The most thing he wants right now
Is to win this game
Jose Cardinal
Leading things off for the Red Sox
The first pitch is low by Ron Willis
Ron Willis
On the year
The first pitch is low by Ron Willis
On the year
Has an unrun average
Of 2.67
That's pretty good
A foul off the left by Tartabal
One ball and one strike
He started 65 games
His record, one sixth and lost five
Willis looking down to his catcher Tim McCarver
The target down low by McCarver
Tartabal looks like he wants to bun it
That's the ball goal
And it's too low, two balls and one strike
Tartabal who has good speed
Likes to bunt
Mike Stanton in his third base
A couple of steps
Tepeda in his first base
Ron Willis looking down to McCarver
Here's the pitch, the kick
Outside
Foul three
Austin Ray Scott
Two runs on four hits
They scored a run in the fourth
They scored a run in the sixth
They won half the fourth inning
Tartabal with a count of three
And went on, they would like to get him on
Here right now
He's on there, too high ball for
Dalton Jones
Back out, flat out
Hit a ball to
Tepeda in first base, he's over three
Dalton Jones gets the piece of the ball
Let's see if they'll be
Bunning or letting Dalton Jones
Hit away, he did Sunday
Hit one right by the third base
And has a four to first base
And Tepeda
Trying to
Make that quick peg like he's
Left to throw back to Willis and try to
Teg Tartabal, that's another quick throw to
First base
Almost got by Tepeda
And Tepeda kind of
Playing with Jose Tartabal
Dalton Jones
Here's the first, he squares around the
Bunch of all, down to first base line foul
Tartabal
Backs to first base
One strike on Dalton Jones
This is what happened
Sunday
Dalton Jones
Tried to bounce the first pitch, he put it
At foul on the next pitch
Dick Williams, the manager of the Red
Team hit away, let's see if it happens today
He's freezed away, hits the ball
Off the left, I don't think it's anybody
Not the ball in
And cannot throw anyone out
On the play, Tartabal
Goes down to second base
And on to first base, Dalton Jones
After trying to bounce
Dick Williams gave Dalton Jones
A hit turn
Jones went to left with it
Max Lohan knocked the ball down
But they had no play
Anywhere
And Billy Muffet
The pitching coach for the Cardinals
Apt to talk to Ron Willis
We're going to have a new
Pitcher, who is it, hey?
It'll be Joe Harner, the left-hander
Who's done a great job all season long
For the Cardinals in these kind of situations
A sinker baller
He wheels from the side
Puts on the left-handed batter
For that matter, he's done very effectively
Against right-handers too
Joe Harner will be the new pitcher
For the St. Louis Cardinals
Jack Lemaide is also
Working out there now
And we're going to pause here
And we'll be back in four station identification
The red side
The Cardinals are in the second base
Dalton Jones at first list
There's nobody out
And Carl Yastrowski
Who hit a homer in the fourth inning
To put the red side on the scoreboard first
Yastrowski will be the hitter
The red side's out in front
Two to nothing
With two men on, nobody out
The best hitter up there
I'd say the best hitter
The best hitter
Nobody out, the best hitter up there
I can't really do
Break this game wide open
On the other hand, the Cardinals
A pre-hitting ball come
With good batters up and down
The batting harder
Have run into a no hitter so far
For seven innings at the hands of
Young Jim Longboard
Joe Harner
One four lost four during the season
With an earned run average of 2.59
He's just about finished
With his tactics coffee
So can we? Let's see what's going to happen
Okay Harry
Carl Yastrowski will be the first hitter
To face Joe Harner
On his first and second
You've got your
Best hitter on the ball club
We have a little more rain coming down right now
And will he have any money?
I don't think so
Joe Harner, the pitcher
He's running around
And he's outfield
He's using the rosters
He checks with the shot
Top of the second baseman
In case the ball is hit back to him
Who wants it?
Now he walks up on the rubber
Yastrowski, he's in the box, he's ready
McCarver giving the sign
Harner looks back at the run up
Hardable at second base, here's the pitch
A good swing
No contact by
Yastrowski
As Harner
Come that fastball inside on Yastrowski
0-1's account
On Yastrowski
No runs, no hits
One air for the Cardinals
Two runs, five hits, no airs
For the Boston Red Sox
We're in the bottom half of the seventh inning
No one-half runners on open second
Ball outside
Makes account of one ball and one strike
They move the ball around on Yastrowski
You cannot hit this fellow one way
And he hits left hander pretty good
One ball, one strike
Harner looks back at the runner at second base
That ball, another miss
Strike two
Harner
First time I've seen him this year
Goes pretty hard
Yastrowski gets out of that matters box
Gets some dirt on his hands
The rain is still coming down
Here at Fenway Park in Boston
And we had such a beautiful day
Starting this game off
As we told you a little earlier
We had the overcast sky
Here's the pitch by Harner
High, ball two
Two balls, two strikes on
Carl Yastrowski
Cardinals down at second base
At first base, Dalton Jones
Joe Harner looking down
To his catcher, Tim McCarver
McCarver giving the sign
Yastrowski waving at Pat high in the air
Here's the pitch by Harner
And that's a nice little head ball
That's the second home run
For the Superman
Carl Yastrowski in this ball game
He has given four runs
The Red Sox now lead by a score of five and nothing
As George Scott gets in there
And Harner
Is a little while off that first pitch
He's got a little bit of a
Ball one
And I'm telling you
Just as soon as that ball was hit
I knew it was gone in front of the
Light-feeler, Roger Mares
That ball in there at the cost
Like one
Makes you count one ball in one strike
George Scott moves up on the plate
Just a little bit
And he thought that ball was outside
He holds the bat
Just a little bit high
And he's got it
He's a hard-slinger
Harner, next pitch is out
Two balls in one strike
Harner looking down at his catcher
McCarver, the wind up, the pitch
A fastball is taking away from
George Scott, put on a mid-strike
Two
McCarver wants to talk to
His pitcher, Harner
I haven't seen Harner throw a curveball yet
He doesn't have a curveball
He has a slider that moves
Pretty good
What a year
He was swamped yesterday, nothing out of four
The Red Sox got beat 2-1
Today he is at 2-1
Good ball, 4-0, 5-0
Right above player
The feeling too, that George Scott
Fouls his back
As we said this morning
He stopped
Seems like he stopped
The Red Sox attacked a little bit
That's exactly what Gibson did yesterday
He was kind of overpowered
Everyone
Dick Hughes, pitch fine ball
But right here, bottom half to seventh inning
McCarver is running into a little trouble
Look out
Ball three, almost hit George Scott
Makes the count 3-2
Still no one out
Joe Harner
Still coming down
It is dark
The lights are on
The wind up
The ball hit out of the left field
That may be out for the wall
No, move right back there
Harner is the scoreboard
To take it for at number one
That wind is blowing from
Left to right
It was blowing out again
Here then off of the scoreboard
Reggie Smith
He's now
Moving over batting right handed
Against the left handed pitcher
Joe Harner, he's a switch hitter
Who was batting left handed against Dick Hughes
A right hander who started this game
This hole for two
Has a ripple on that one, strike one
Got away
Joe Harner
Looking down on McCarver
Here's the kick
Pass ball, pass it to Dickie
Pass it off to right
Down to first base side, back in the stands
Strike two
Reggie Smith has an open stance
Right handed, a closed stance left hander
Joe Harner
Looking at the ball, turning on the mound
Now he's on the rubber
He looks at McCarver
Giving the stand
McCarver outside
As were the pitch, a little bit too much out there
Makes it count, one ball and two strikes
Run away
The score
The Boston Red Sox find the San Luis Cardinals
Nothing going to the bottom half to 7th inning
As the ball hit out into right center
Let's see if first ball can get over the Roger Maris
Goal, so a Roger Maris half part
And takes it
Out number two, that ball was hit
In right center
Roger Maris
That's the right fielder, went over there
And took the ball easy, looks like it may be in there first
You know
Here we are, just wonder whether
The batting practice after the game yesterday
Is the answer
That Percellio struck out three times
Yesterday, he's had a big day and so has your
Femtys
Gary Adair swings on the first pitch, fouls it back
Tony Kubek and I
As I said, we were talking about that, we have never
Seen anybody, I know no one on our club
Ever went out after a World Series game
And took batting practice
I've never heard of it before either
I believe it helped
A changing world, Barry
Adair, hits one foul down the first base
On the baby goes back when he has a pass
No, it's in the stands
I didn't get a chance to talk
To call your Femtys, but as I said
I talked to Petra Selle
You know, in all its takes
Barry, it's just one little thing
Or even just something
That could build up your confidence in your response
Sometime it helps
And your Szyfki
Whatever it was
He's now back
Yeah, but there's a guy on the last day of the season
That's four out of four
Those are the kind of slumps I like to get into
Adair, swings on the fastball
Fouls it back, still two strikes on Jerry
No balls and two strikes
Joe Hunter
In release here
Of Ron Willis
Who came in to pitch for Dick Hughes
This is the third pitcher for the Cardinals
Hunter
Taking a little time
The wind up, the kick
That ball, inside
Joe Hunter
Failed down
When he released that one
One ball, two strikes on Jerry Adair
He's up close to the plate
He stands right into the ball
There's the ball, hit hard out of the center field
Close by coming in, he can't get it
Takes it all, one hop
Back into the infield
Comes the ball, making the turn back in his first base
And Jerry Adair
He's talking about Petra Selle
And he's riding back as yesterday
What has he done today?
What a face at his first time up
He's stuck out
In the fourth inning
Get his back of his stride
In the sixth inning of the score run of four
So he's one for two
The first pitch
A breaking pitch, low on the dirt
The carver makes a nice pick up
One ball on Rico, Mississippi
Petra Selle is two ways
Jerry Adair on his first base
They play Petra Selle straight away
He has good power
If he gets that in front of his ball
He can tear it a long way
A foul, tip
Right in back of you, Al Bartick can now pick it up
There it is
Tim McCarver picks it up
Close the ball back to Joe Hunter
That is one ball and one strike
Dan Woczinski is warming up for the Red Sox
Now the nerve-racking
One ball, one strike
On Rico, Petra Selle
Hunter looking over to Jerry
At first base
Cepeda holding him off
Here's the kick, the pitch, back ball
Outside McCarver makes a bluff
Down to Cepeda at first base, no throw
Two balls and one strike
On Rico, Petra Selle
The Red Sox have come up with three runs
Here in the bottom half of the seventh inning
On Carl Yoske's home run
Inside, ball three
And that was his second home run
Yoske of the day
He's had it in, four of the five runs
Elton Howard
In the on-dress circle
Hunter
Looks over to there
Here's the kick, fast ball
No one outside
High four, Petra Selle
Goes to first base, moving down to second
Jerry Adair, moving out of that dog out
Is Filly Muffin
The pitching goes
By the Cardinals
Now he comes back in and he wants to talk
To Red Sandy
Red Sandy says something to him
And Filly Muffin
Gives the sign to Augie Donatelli
The umpire down at second base
And we want a new pitcher
He's got Jack Lamay the right-hander
And Al Jackson the left-hander out there
As the Red Sox
Now build up a five-and-nothing lead
And can't help but look ahead to the
Next two innings for the Cardinals
Because Jim Longboard
Is working on a no-hitter
Only once before in the history of
Baseball was a no-hitter pitch
In the World Series
And that was Dan Lawson's perfect game
For the Yankees against the Dodgers
In 1956
Tom Magley by the way
Who's the Longboard pitching coach
With the Red Sox
Was the loser in that game
But Larson took the perfect game in
One hitters have been pitched by
Ruebach with a come to 1906
Klob Hathaw
With a come to 1945
And you all remember Floyd Bebens
With a no-hitter going to the bottom of the line
With two on and he was beaten
We'll pause here 30 seconds for
Station identification
You're in the giant reach of KNBR
AM&FM San Francisco
Here all of the San Francisco Warrior games
On KNBR Radio 68
Don't blame your gas station service man
Who forgot to ask you
Why do wipers streak your windshield
Chances are you too forgot
And didn't ask him
Don't wait until your dead blades
In the next storm cloud your vision
Get new ANCO anti-wind lift blades
Or refills
Get them the next time you buy gas
Howie Howie a Sunway part
Where the Red Sox now leads by to nothing
The Red Sox is still at 5-1
With no errors the Cardinals haven't had a hit
Naturally no runs that committed one error
Jack Lamaib
Becomes the Cardinals fourth pitcher
He used to be with the Red Sox
32 year old right-hander
Did some effective work for the Cardinals
After they uphamed him from the New York Mets
About midseason or so
We
The Red Sox have touched
The Salias first base in a day
On second base
Two out Joe Horner was
Touched for a three run homer by
Cargas Dempsey the man he was brought
In the face
Then got the next two men out
With a derrush single then touched the Salias
Now Jack Lamaib
Will be facing Elston Howard
Howard is 0-2 in the ballgame
Slide out and was
Loved to be hit on a great play by Howie Howie
Was intentionally passed in the sixth
This is the second game
In the World Series
Open day tomorrow the two teams practice
In St. Louis and Saturday
The feelings rezone
At Bush Memorial Stadium
In St. Louis Elston Howard
The batter and once again Pee Wee Reeds
It's still raining here
At Fenway Park in Boston
Renner's on first and second Elston Howard
Is ahead of two away
Jack Lamaib
The new pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals
He's the fourth of the day
Good fastball put on this back one
Lamaib
His record
Three wins and seven losses
England average 3.30
Elston Howard way back
In that batter's box
He has a closed stance
Used to fold the ball
Quite a bit now that he hits the ball
In the right right center
Jack Lamaib comes
That looks back to Joey Adair at second base
Breaking pitch low on outside
Ball one one ball in one strike
Two away
Elston Howard drying his hands off
Clearing up a little bit
Getting a little bit brighter
We certainly hope so
Jim Lombard
Is going for a slow hitter
Elston Howard fouls a fastball
Straight back one ball and two strikes
Right
Lamaib
Massaging that old horse
Fired up out on the mound
Gets some razzam on his hands
Looks down at his catcher, catcher Tim McArthur
One ball two strikes on Elston Howard
He comes fifth
Looks back to second
Here's the curveball that's too high
Makes the cap two and two
It's been a long inning
For the Cardinals
As the Red Sox has come up a three run here
Still in the bottom half to seven minutes
Lamaib
Looks for the sign
He comes set to pitch
Ball hits hard on the first base line
But his foul
Looks like Howard was trying to go
To right field with that ball
Back to second base is Jerry Adair
Back to first
Texas Silly
The second game of the World Series
And this is the 64th World Series
American League teams have a
Two to 25 edge in the series competition
Two balls two strikes on Elston Howard
Lamaib
He's ready
He's struck him out
And that's all for Elston Howard
And that's all for the Red Sox here
In the bottom half to seven minutes
But they came up with three runs on three hits
No airs and left two men on base
So the score after seven full innings
The Boston Red Sox fire the table
The Red Sox are the commanding lead
Of five to nothing as we go into the top of the eighth
And the St. Louis Cardinals have yet
To make a hit
Jim Romborg
Working on a no hitter
Only one man reached base
And that on a three to pitch
That barely missed Kurt Watt
In the seventh inning
He had retired 19 in a row at that point
Narrow some line to yesterday
And the Red Sox are the leading team
In the top of the eighth
Narrow some line to Yatsensky
And left and to play the hits perhaps
The hardest ball of the day
And that's the selling in a one handed staff
Of a low line drive on one hop to his left
Turned into a fourth play
And the seventh inning
Now it's Tim McCarver deleted off on the cardinals
Five to nothing Red Sox
Over the St. Louis
Once again Pee Wee
And McCarver Mike Shannon
And
Olean Javier
To face Jim Romborg
The big tall white hander here
As they go in the top half of the eighth inning
And as you know
Romborg is not giving up a hit
On the season he was 22 and 9
Now the tall lean fellow
Of this Romborg is
He's 6'5
Weighs 200 pounds
He's 24 years old
At quite a year
And the fans
Are now pulling for him
To go all the way here at Boston
Pee Wee was just
Telling me here that Romborg
Won eight to third innings against the Angels
At Anaheim earlier this season
With a no hit game
Finally lost the no hitter and also lost the contest
Five to nothing
Red Sox
Over the St. Louis Cardinals
Tim McCarver the first pitch turn of the curve ball
A little bit too low
In Lombard
One thing he must
Not do now is to start to aim that ball
Don't steer, keep
Sored, I'm sure he knows that
His feet close together to wind up the kick
And here's the pitch, a little grounder
After Joliette, there shouldn't be any trouble
Up with the flip it over to George Scott
And that's all for Tim McCarver
Mike Shannon
Shannon has not had
Too much luck
With Tim Lombard
Lombard has shown him nothing but curve balls
All day
And he struck him out both times
He sat on curtain the last time up there
And I believe that Shannon may have been looking
For a fast ball
He kind of went down
And the ball blew over the plate
And Mike I know how you feel because I've done the same thing
Lombard has a real
Good sat on curve ball
And it's tough for a right handed
To stay in there
Once you take your eye off of that ball
You have had it
Lombard getting a sign
Elton Howard moves outside
Curve ball blowing outside ball one
The sequence of hitters
Certainly enhances Lombard's chances
Of this no hitter
He's got McCarver out of the way
He's got Shannon and Javier
Knoxville the pitcher and the leadoff man
To come up here
Lombard has to shut that
The long throw
With a good shot at post
Two down
You are so right here
Let's go for get a
We may get a ten hitter
Or a Mack vote
Well we have to worry about that
To make things
As the air gets off
Excuse me Dave but as you look at what's
Coming up the one man
Perhaps that
Will be a big
Buster in this no hitter
If it comes it will be Lou Block
We are sure to come up one more time in this game
Javier
About a two away
He's got it out
To shortstop
Flat out
To right field his last time up
Jim Lombard the kick
A curve ball
It could be a base hit out of the left field
Javier you should be able to
Cut the ball up and knock it down
In the second with a stand up double
Well there goes Jim Lombard double
Elton Howard out the walk
Talk to him
And the fan
Giving Lombard a
Real nice hand
And he deserves it
We'll have a pincet of
For
Dow Maxwell
And it's Bobby Tolan
Bobby Tolan
Riding for the shortstop
Dow Maxwell
And they tell me that this
Fellow right here Bobby Tolan
Could be
The next right fielder
For the St. Louis Cardinals
When Roger Maris decides to retire
Not a ball player
He's only 21 years old
Anyway and he is a good
Ball player he can run he can hit he can throw
He's got great
Power for a little fellow by the way
Well it's too bad
About Jim Lombard if he lost he's no
Hitter there on a double
By Javier down in that
Left field corner but there was
No doubt about it when he hit it
It was not a cheapie
Lombard got that curve ball
Just a little bit into
Inside
It looked like Javier
Down in second the pitch by
Look out Tolan tries to hold up
On the swing hits the ball down to
Dalton Jones Dalton Jones
Pulls the ball to George Scott and that's all
For the Cardinals here at the top half of the eighth
Now one more hit
There's one man left on base
The Sorest the seven and a half
He's a player that often lives back by the
He's a sewer
Now inside Freedom
Of this little
Coward driving to David
Let's go round and
See the blasting
For a player we can
call the game
Famous
For great
It's gonna get you, and it's the entire human race.
Give it up for Beaver, God speed you.
We're going to show you that God speed us!
Stopping us in here, nearby Dodd-Dealer, the grand big fatty, you, Dodd-Colell.
You'll find it gives you extra room, extra comfort, and a casual open feel as smaller cars just pass by.
Jim Lombard has just received a standing ovation, and he has richly earned it.
By the way, see, we have the Boston-based CG Polar icebreaker at Desto,
navigating among icebergs and swirling snow some 750 miles from the North Pole,
listening to NBC and Armed Forces radio send their greetings.
The first pitch by Jack LaMabe, the Jim Lombard, swung on in this strike one.
We're going into bottom half, the A setting.
Jack LaMabe, the kick, the pass ball, in there for Carl strike two.
The fourth pitcher for the Cardinals, Hughes, went five in a third inning,
gave up two runs on four hits, struck out five.
He had walked three. Willis, two thirds of an inning, two hits, two runs, one hit, one strike out, and one walk.
Miner, took two thirds of an inning, gave up one run, two hits, struck out another one, and walked one.
LaMabe is in there right now.
Lombard has made only 81 pitches in his first eight innings.
Herbaugh, hung on, and missed the strike three.
Lombard gets a nice hand as he goes back to the dugout.
Very stellar. You get an ovation when you strike out.
That fellow certainly deserves it today.
Jose Tardubor, see what he's done. Flat out.
Struck out, flat out, and walked.
Pitch is too low for a one.
Five to nothing, Red Sox. Over to the St. Louis Cardinals, Jack LaMabe, the pitch, as the ball pops up.
Third baseman Mike Stanning in foul territory. Over there, underneath it, infected for outnumbered Drew.
You know that the Cardinals won the first game in fact to Bob Gibson by a score of three to one,
and the Red Sox trying to even it out here today in this second game at Fenway Park,
and they lead by a score of five to nothing. Tomorrow will be off, and the series will open up
in St. Louis on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Dalton Jones, face hit out of the right field.
Roger Marican, picked the ball up, down on one knee. Dalton Jones makes the turn at first, back and in.
Carl Yosemite.
Standing ovation for Carl Yosemite. He's walked in the first inning, hit a home run in the fourth inning.
Right out the left field, in the sixth inning, and hit a home run in the seventh inning. He's batted in four of the five runs.
It's two out. LaMabe, first pitch. Curve ball.
Face hit out in the right center. Kirk Blood over to cut it off.
Now we're going to pass to see Kirk Blood's arm. Not too bad.
But Dalton Jones goes on in the third.
They've been talking about Kirk Blood's arm, so that one's pretty good.
And as Kyle was saying, you shut him out yesterday, but not today as he holds his two home runs and a single.
Brings up George Scott. He got two hits yesterday. He has won today. One for three.
The fans are really coming alive. George Scott's cranked on the first pitch. Strike one. Fouls his back.
Dalton Jones on his third. Carl Yosemite on his third.
And the bullpen for the Cardinals, the little left-hander Al Jackson.
Jack LaMabe.
He'll be holding the runners on. Of course, runners on first and third.
He's getting a sign. He comes back. Here's the pitch.
Bring it on in. Strike two on a good fast ball.
I've always seen these Red Sox play quite a bit.
And the more I see of this, you're strumping, the more you have to like it.
Not only was that fast, he does one fine job in that outfield.
Two strikes on. George Scott McCarver moves outside. Here's the pitch. It's a little too far outside.
One ball and two strikes.
George Scott hits 19 home runs on the year.
Tapeta talking with his strengthy down at first base. He likes to talk.
Little tap with his defense. Mike Shannon has to hurry. The long throw over to Tapeta.
That retards George Scott and that retards the Red Sox here.
In the bottom half, the ace and a no run. Two hits, no errors and two men left on base.
If you want to settle questions about shaving, ask your face about it.
The average face is smarter than it looks. It may not know much about razors, but it knows what it likes.
Take the new Gillette Tecmatic razor. It's light. You don't bear down so much.
And the face appreciates this lightness. It not only feels better, it runs less of a chance of getting nicked or cut.
Or say halfway through a shave you notice the edge is getting dull.
Try changing blades with your old razor. Hard, isn't it?
Slippery fingers, sharp little thing. You just wouldn't bother.
With the Tecmatic you just flip the lever for a fresh shaving edge. It's easy. You would bother.
From your face's point of view, this is good. It means you don't keep shaving with a worn out blade.
Consult an expert about the Gillette Tecmatic razor. Ask your face about it.
Yesterday the Cardinals beat the Red Sox because Bob Gibson overpowered the Red Sox hitters.
Today the Red Sox are beating the Cardinals because Jim Lomborg has been superlative.
He's made only 81 pitches in eight innings. The only hit he allowed came after two or eight innings.
Now he's got himself a five to nothing shutout going at the top of the ninth with a pin-killer Dave Rickards going up there for the Cardinals.
Okay Harry, and you said just what I was thinking. Jim Lomborg is overpowered.
The Cardinals today just like Bob Gibson did yesterday with the Boston Red Sox.
This is the best that I've seen Lomborg and he picked a fine time to beat that. And that's what he is.
Dave Rickards. That's ball. Out outside, ball two.
Dave Rickards. He's a footfitter batting left-handed against the right-handed Jim Lomborg.
The kick, the pitch, the two-low, ball three.
Dick Williams, the manager of the Red Sox. Sal Magley, the pitching coach.
Up on the step, they're watching Jim Lomborg to make sure he does not get too tired.
He's been under a lot of pressure. A fast ball might get in there, but it's all strike one.
Jim Lomborg has made, as we told you, 81 pitches coming into this inning.
And that's not too many. A three-and-one pitch into Dave Rickards. It popped up.
Pector Shelly, the shortstop, underneath it and takes it.
Out number one. Just two out.
The Red Sox are from evening this series up.
Here's the fellow we were a little concerned about before Javier got the base hit, Lou Brock.
He had four hits yesterday. The first pitch, the kick, Lomborg.
Al, over to the right. Almost got Joe Cronin, the president of the American League.
Long time shortstop of the Red Sox. General manager of the Red Sox.
Jim Lomborg, the kick, the pitch, Lou Brock at that side. One ball and one strike.
Lomborg does not take too big of a windup. He always starts how he speaks most together.
Most of the times he will stoop over and take the stand.
This time he did hear the tall kick with the left foot. And a fast ball just got the outback runner.
He has a good thinker.
Boy, he has been tired one good. He's throwing his heart now as he did in the first inning.
He looks like he could pitch another game if we had a doubleheader here today.
I would say he had something on that ball right there.
A real good fast thinker by Jim Lomborg.
And a surprise, Lou Brock a little bit. One ball, two strikes on Brock.
Now then Lomborg has scooped over. He's taking the stand. Here's the kick, the pitch.
Down the ball out to second base and there he is. He's up for the flip. The ball over to John Scott.
Two ways.
The last chance by the Cardinals.
And there are two out here in the top half to ninth inning.
Kurt Blood, the first pitch for Lomborg. Thinker, come on. Here's track one.
And the fans.
Smelling victory. Here's Boston.
And they have really turned out in this ballpark. Here's a foul hit out in the center field.
He's hitting the all of it. Reggie Smith.
And the Cardinals are in the top half of ninth inning. No runs, no hits, no errors and no one left on base.
And the final four. Boston by the Tankers.
And the fans.
This little message is strictly for smokers who've never tasted a Camel cigarette. Camel smokers, you know what we mean. You other guys, start walking.
This is Harry Carrey with Pee Wee Rave. We just witnessed one of the masterpieces of World Series history. A one hitter hit by 24 year old, six foot five inch Jim Lomborg. Who proved that the 22 and 9 record of his in the American League this season was certainly no fluke.
He was absolutely the most dominant pitcher you've ever seen in a game with this kind of pressure. With his team one game down in the World Series. Playing his second game at home.
Realizing he's been losing this one. They go into St. Louis down two with three to play. A lot of pressure. He came up with just a magnificent pitching performance.
He was never in any trouble. The only hit he allowed was with two out of the eight. A double by Harvey Erring to the left field corner. He didn't permit a base runner until one was out to seven. And he missed on a three two pitch and then just barely. So only two base runners were on base against him. He paced only 29 none.
And it never has been a better pitch game unless it be Don Larson's perfect game back there in 1956. Well hey I saw both of them. I was in the stands on this one and played in the other one. I think the only chance that Don Larson went to three and two. He was on old Pee Wee.
I'll have to tell you that I did strike out after that. But this fellow really did dominate this game today. Even more so I believe than Bob Gibson did yesterday. I saw him pitch this final game against Minnesota here on Sunday. And I tell you maybe a young boy grew up right there Harry. A pitch by the ballgame.
Yeah there's only been one no hitter that was Larson. And now Jim Warnborg joins the list. And the select few it is he becomes the fourth man to ever have pitched a one hitter. Joining the list of that Rubach of the Cubs, Clark Hassell of the Cubs and Floyd Bevin of the Yankees. Now we will continue when I wrap up in one minute.
Why is it the minute you step into the average tire store you feel like you're in the middle of some jungle. Is it the confusion, the mystery, the foreign sounding language? Whatever the reason, it's all over. B.F. Goodrich has taken the confusion out of buying tires. How do they do it?
With straight talk, plain English. Which means you don't have to struggle through all that confusion over tire cords, rubber compounds, tread patterns, or sweat over a confusing array of tire grades and prices.
All you do is tell the Goodrich people how you drive. How fast, how much. And they'll tell you what tire is best for you. They'll even give you a handy tire value calculator so you can pick the right tire yourself.
They even save yourself some money. So the next time you hear the call of tire confusion, ignore it and let straight talk from B.F. Goodrich be your guide.
Our director today, Lum Dillon. NBC audio supervisor Joe Sturdyello. The totals again as the Boston Red Sox have evened up the series. Four Boston, five藍, nine hits, no errors. Jim Lambois, a spectacular pitcher.
For the Cardinals, no runs, one hit, one error. Vic Hughes, who took creditably, but nevertheless, was the loser. Now, Peewee, the Dexter quiz. And now, a day off, the Red Sox will familiarize themselves with Bush Memorial Stadium in St. Louis.
The Cardinals will work out there too. And once again, with a series tied, one game apiece will be out on Saturday.
Okay, I will not be with you because you'll be on television, but it's been a pleasure working with you.
We'll be back with a rundown of the story and the reveal of the outlanding plays in a moment.

Pee-wee this bar game is decided actually with one foul swoop.
Arlie Strempke led off the fourth inning in a nothing nothing bar game and lined one into the right field corner, a 387 foot home run.
And as it turned out, that was all the Red Sox needed.
They picked up another one on the seventh with two awks, an error by Shannon, an excusable error by the way, the ball was hit hard, and a sacrifice fly by Petra Sellers.
And then on the seventh, a sustainable at Wap and Dalton Jones at Singles.
Carl Horner, a left-hander, came into pitch to just Strumke.
And once again, Carl lined one, this time high and deep into the right center field stand.
So he pulled today, Pee-wee, in case anybody questioned it, that he can hit a home run off a right-hander and he can hit a home run off a left-hander.
He certainly did. And another thing, Harry, about this game, you can see that Jim Lombard missed business today.
The first hitter, Lou Brock, that walked up there, he got four hits yesterday.
You can call that purpose pitch a little brushback or whatever you want, but you and I know that he was telling the Cardinals and Lou Brock that I mean business, and you better look out.
And he meant business all day.
You know, as the Cardinals head for St. Louis, Pee-wee, I think they might consider themselves fortunate to be even up in this series, one game apiece.
And I say that for this reason. Them middle hitters, Maris, Cepeda, and McCarver, who do most of the damage, have been held by the rough dots to one lone hit in 20 times at bat in these two games.
A single by Maris is all in 20 trips to the plate combined between Maris, Cepeda, and McCarver, the very heart of the Cardinal batting artist.
Yes sir, and you know, Cepeda, of course Maris hit it and the two run justly, but they were with a little weak round ball.
Well one up was too weak, but they were ground balled.
But Cepeda, he has gone all for Cepeda.
And as you say, they're very fortunate, but I think you better watch for this big bull now, because he may come a little slow when he gets back in his home park.
I don't think it's much of a question at all.
How about the St. Louis Park? Is it going to make any difference?
I don't think so. I don't think it's going to make too much difference to Jasemsky.
The ball he hit out here today, for example, would have been home run to St. Louis.
