On October 11, 1967, the St. Louis Cardinals faced the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park for Game 6 of the 1967 World Series.
The Cardinals led the best of seven series three games to two, and this is the NBC Radio broadcast of Game 6 featuring announcers Pee-wee Reese and Harry Carey.
The weatherman must be a great baseball fan. Pee-wee, a beautiful day. The temperature is 62 degrees. The ball parks can be jam-packed, of course.
Gary Waslewski will pitch for the Boston Red Sox. Dick Hughes for the St. Louis Cardinals. And what a story this is.
Waslewski, you know, is added to the Boston roster as a result of an injury. And his name is not even in the official World Series program. How about that, Pee-wee?
Well, that is something, Harry. And of course, Waslewski, he can get off to a good start. Gets over this nervous jitters.
The start of this game, he could be a little rough because he throws a real good sinker. He pitches a whole lot like Lombard.
And Harry, where have you been for the last three games?
I missed you, Pee-wee. I know about that other meeting with our good friend Kurt Gowdy. What a World Series this has become.
Remember when we left Boston, Pee-wee? I said to you, I believe, and to our engineer Joe Sterniello, and to our producer here, Len Dillon, our director, that we'd be back to Boston. And here we are.
Yes, sir. And this Boston ball club, all year in the American League, they have fought back. They've been a tough ball club. You counted them out.
Like the win in the last two games on Saturday and Sunday against the Minnesota Twins, no one gave them too much of a chance winning those two games.
And no one has given them too much of a chance of winning the last three here. But we're back in Boston, Harry, and you can't tell what's going to happen.

Another thing about playing in the World Series, for example, I'm looking down at Jim Lownborg's been posing for pictures all day long.
He's become a national hero. Just winning 22 games in the American League, I'm sure wouldn't have made him the hero that he is now as a result of winning two in the World Series with all that national exposure involved.
Here are the starting lineups being announced. Red Cheney is the manager of the Cardinals, has been introduced.
Now, Lou Brott will be playing left field, hitting 400 in the series. Will be the leadoff man.
Batting second in center field, hitting 150 in the series. Kirk Flood.
In right field, batting third, proving himself a competitive warhorse, as you would expect him to be.
Roger Maris hitting 316 in the series, and leads with six runs batted in. He'll be playing right field, hitting third.
Orlando Cepeda, who's been held to a 150 batting average in the series, will be batting clean up playing first base.
The catcher for the Cardinals, hitting 125 in the series, Tim McCreiber.
Playing third base and batting sixth with an average of 125 in the series, will be Mike Shannon.
At second base, fellows made two of the greatest defensive plays ever seen, but both in losing games, hitting 353, batting seventh at second base, Julian Javier.
At shortstop, batting eighth, hitting out 167 in the World Series, Dow Maxfield.
The catcher out in the right field bullpen, still getting ready, Dick Hughes. He's 0-1 in the series.
He was 16-6 over the regular season, with an earned run average of 2.67.
For the hometown Boston Red Sox, the rest of the Cardinals squad is introduced en masse, and they've taken their position along the third base line.
Soon the Boston Red Sox will be introduced, starting with their manager, who by the way will be honored by the Boston's Best Photographers Association at a dinner later this month.
Dick Williams has been introduced and trouts out the first base.
Leading off for the Boston Red Sox, one of the stars in their victory Monday in St. Louis, at third base, hitting 125 in the series, Joe Boyd.
At second base, hitting 400 in the series, in his first full season of the Major Leagues, batting second, Mike Andrews.
In left field, starring in the series as he did during the regular season, Carl Yostritsky. He's hitting 333 during the series.
In right field, the man who put the Red Sox out in front in Monday's game, Ken Harrelson, playing right field, hitting 167, batting fourth.
At first base, hitting fifth, batting 222 in the series, George Scott.
In center field, the switch-hitting, hard-throwing, fleet-footed Reggie Smith, hitting 235 in the series.
In seventh, playing shortstop, batting 0-7-1 in the series, with one hit in five games, but playing brilliantly defensively, Rico Patricelli at shortstop.
The catcher, the only member of this team that starts who's been in the World Series before, hitting 167, and this one, Elston Howard.
And the pitcher, 26-year-old, 6-foot, 4-inch, 195-pound, Gary Waselowski, who during the regular season won two, lost two for the Red Sox, won five, lost six for Toronto.
The governor of Massachusetts, with whom we enjoyed a lobster dinner last night, John Volpe, he's in the commissioner's box, Commissioner Bill Eckert, John McHale, commissioner's assistant.
Let's see who's going to throw out the first ball.
I don't think you caught that. United States Marine Corporal Robert P. Blanchett, Sturbridge, Massachusetts, wounded last May in Vietnam, presently recuperating in his home in Sturbridge.
He's just tossed out the first ball. Elston Howard returns the ball to him as a souvenir, and the Red Sox take the field.
The wind is blowing towards right field at about 10 to 20 miles an hour out of the west. So as the Red Sox take their positions, moving into the microphone to give you the play-by-play on the first portion of the ballgame,
the former great shot stop for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Kurt Gowdy's partner on NBC's Game of the Week, and my good friend, Pee-wee Reese.
Thank you, Harry. Gary Waslewski, taking the mound, ready for his warm-up pitches, and while he's taking his warm-up pitches, we'll pause 10 seconds for station identification.
KMOX, KMOX-FM, St. Louis, earned 5% on savings certificates, the highest return on insured savings in the area, at the blue chip of the savings business, Community Federal.
Back here at Fenway Park, the sixth game of the World Series. The big, tall right-hander, starting for the Boston Red Sox.
As Harry told you, he was not eligible for the series until Darryl Brandon, the big right-hander, got hurt for the Red Sox.
He was put on the eligible list two days before the series started. He pitched three fine innings in Saturday's game.
He struck out three, didn't walk a man, and they did not get a hit off of him.
Dick Williams, a manager for the Red Sox who likes to play hunches, said this is the best man he thinks right now that can beat this Cardinal ball club, so he started it.
Peely, an oddity, I think. You know, the team that scored first in each of the previous five games has won. Whoever scored first has gone on to win the ball again.
And talking about scoring first, here is a fellow that the Red Sox must keep off of those sacks. His name, Lou Brock.
He's got eight hits in the series. He has scored five runs. He'll be followed by Kurt Flood, Roger Maris, Gary Waslusty looking down at Lou Brock.
Elton Howard giving the sign. Here is the pitch to Lou Brock. He tries to punt one down the third baseline.
Looks like he held back on it. He held up on it. He thought he had caught Foy back a little bit, but Foy's about three steps in.
Howard said something to Paul Pryor behind home play, but it's ball one. Here's the pitch. There's a ball hit off the left.
Yostrefsky going over out in left field. Here are the stands. Can he get it? Just missed it. He jumped up off on the side of the wall.
Almost came up with that ball. Carl Yostrefsky. And he knows that ball like the back of his hand. He's been over there numerous times, I'm sure.
Now that it counts as one ball and one strike on Lou Brock, Waslusty looks around at his outfield. He's a big, tall fellow.
Six-four, weighs 195 pounds. He's 26 years old. Here's the windup, the pitch. A curveball in there. Paul's right through.
And you'll be hearing that yelling all day. Well, let's see. Lou Brock walked away.
He thought that first pitch that you were undecided about, and what you had thought that he had tried to bunt it, he too thought he had tried to bunt it,
and he thought he was out on strikes. He had walked over. Paul Pryor, the plate umpire, must feel a little bit embarrassed about that.
Well, I guess I wasn't wrong, because Lou Brock thought he had bunted to the ball, also. He started to walk away. Pryor called him back and said,
there's only two strikes on you. No one else says a thing. One ball and two strikes. The windup, the pitch.
That got him. Struck him out. Elston Howard caught the ball in the pick-up seat. Tag Lou Brock.
So the first batter that Wazlowski faces, he strikes out. And that brings up Kirk Flood.
As I said, Wazlowski pitches a lot like Jim Longboard. He has a sinker. Curveball, fastball. Here's the pitch by Wazlowski.
A tap out to the second base of Mike Andrews. He has it. Flips the ball over the shot.
That's all for Kirk Flood, two up and two down here. And the top half of the first inning.
And that brings up Roger Maris. Roger Maris has had quite a series. He's had one home run. Six runs battered in.
Six for 19. The outfield is pulled around to the right. You know he slapped the double in left field.
Against Santiago over in Busch Stadium. It's the ball where it's pitched. Here's the pitch by Wazlowski.
Swing it in. That's one. Wazlowski has that sinkerball working.
Against the sinkerball pitcher, you must make him bring the ball up. If you swing at that ball below your knees, you lift those grounders all day.
That's the pitch. Fastball outside. Makes account of one ball and one strike. Elston Howard out in front of that home plate.
One of the real fine catchers of all time, Elston Howard. He's giving the signs. Holds that target right in the middle. Here's the pitch.
Swing it in. Strike two. One ball and two strikes on Roger Maris.
Anyway, if this youngster keeps that stuff all afternoon long, it's going to be a tough day for the Cardinals.
One ball, two strikes on Roger Maris. It's two away. Fenway Park, the sixth game of the World Series.
The foul straight back. And the count remains one ball and two strikes.
He seems faster here than he did in that relief stint in St. Louis. And if you recall, he struck out Brock.
First time he faced him there and the first time he faces him here today, he struck him out.
We're in the top half, the first inning. No score in this ball game. It's two away. The Cardinals.
At bat, Roger Maris. Wazlowski taking a little time. Elston Howard giving the sign.
Into the windup, Wazlowski. The pitch. Foul straight back on the screen. Maris hanging tough.
Defensively for the Red Sox, Scott at first, Andrews at second, Petrocelli at shortstop, Foy at third.
In left field, Jastrowski. In center field, Reggie Smith. Right field, Ken Hurst. The catcher, Elston Howard.
And the pitcher, Gary Wazlowski. And here comes the pitch right now. He's taken out.
That's all for Roger Maris. And that's all for the Cardinals. The top half, the first inning.
For the score. After one half in the play, it's the Cardinals nothing and the Red Sox coming to bat.
It's what's up front that counts. And up front ahead of the filter.
Only Winston has the good, good taste. That comes from filter blend. Filter blend means line 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 tobaccos specially selected for the best taste in filter cigarettes.
Winston tastes good like a cigarette should. Winston.
Gary Carey with Pee Wee Reese at Fenway Park. Gary Wazlowski who had retired nine Cardinals in a row in St. Louis in the third game of the series.
Just retired the first three he faced here as the Cardinals went down one, two, three.
So now he has retired twelve men in a row as Joe Foy steps into the batter's box to lead it off for the Red Sox, Pee Wee.
Okay Harry, Joe Foy inserted in the lineup the last game over at St. Louis. He and Mike Andrews and Ken Harrelson back in there today.
The first pitch by Hughes low and outside. Ball one. On next circle Mike Andrews. He'll be followed by Carl Yostremski.
Fenway Park, the sixth game of the World Series. Nick Hughes not taking too much time. That ball has popped up.
Second baseman Javier underneath it calls for it and takes it for out number one. So Joe Foy starting off with the Red Sox here. Pops up.
That'll bring up Mike Andrews. Andrews two for five in the series. Four hundred. Real fine second baseman. This is the 64th World Series.
The American League teams have a 38 to 25 edge in the series competition. The National League has won eight of the last 13 series.
Of course the National League got clobbered last year. Mike Andrews first pitch. Outside. Ball one.
The Baltimore Orioles beat the Dodgers. Four straight games. Hughes pitching to Mike Andrews. They count one ball and no strike.
Hughes looking down. He's catching McCarvey. Here's the pitch. Ball hit hard and on the left field. Luke Rock going back for the scoreboard and takes it right in front of the scoreboard for out number two.
That ball was hit right on the nose. The wind is blowing towards right field. It'll hold up the ball and hit towards left. Carl Yostremski.
It's a nice hand. He deserves it. Yostremski has two home runs in the series. Batting 333. Six for 18.
Remember it was Yostremski hitting a home run to break up a nothing-nothing pitching duel. Hughes first pitch to him. Fast ball in there. Strike one.
Off Dick Hughes. It was Hughes against Lomborg in the second game of the series and Yostremski hit a homer to put the Red Sox into the lead one to nothing in the fourth inning.
One strike on Yostremski. Hughes looking down at McCarvey. McCarvey giving the sign. Here's the pitch. A change up. It's outside. One ball and one strike.
Try to keep the ball away from Carl Yostremski. He used to hit a lot of balls out toward that Green Monster left field. Here's the pitch. Fast ball. Low and outside. Ball two.
But this year he did a lot of pulling. It was quite successful. He hit 27 home runs at Fenway Park and 17 on the road. Here's the pitch.
Ground error. It's a foul ball. Sepeda the first basing up with his football back to Hughes.
Two and two defensively for the Cardinals. Sepeda at first. Javier at second. Max Fuller at short. At third Mike Shannon in left field Lou Brock.
In center field Kurt Flood. In right field Roger Maras. The catcher Tim McCarver and the pitcher Dick Hughes.
The count on the hitter Yostremski two and two. Here's the pitch. Foul right straight up here for us.
Everything all right Harry? Don't worry Peeway I'll protect you. Count is two and two on Carl Yostremski.
Dick Hughes the winningest pitcher for the Cardinals this year. He won 16 games and lost six. Yostremski holds that bat high. Here's the pitch for Hughes.
Inside. Makes a count three and two. That was a curve ball. McCarver massaging that ball. Fits it ball back to Hughes.
Hughes is about the same size as Wazlowski. A little bit heavier. He's 6'3". Weighs 200 pounds. Here's the pitch.
Yostremski pops it up. McCarver looks at it. Back in the stands. No chance.
Hughes, excuse me Peeway, Yostremski's had a couple of real good pitches to hit but has fouled them off.
I think he would like to have that one back. I think so too.
Hughes does not take a wind up. He just holds the glove right in front of him as he's doing right now. Gets his sign.
Yostremski backs out of there. All prior to the National League, the umpire. Fine on plate. Called sign.
Holding that hand up in the air. Yostremski back in the box. Little jittery. Hughes just standing out there holding the glove.
Here's the pitch. And it's fouled straight back. A good fast ball inside part of that point.
It's two away. The count is three and two on Yostremski. We're in the bottom half of the first inning here at Fenway Park.
St. Louis failed a score in the top half of the first inning as Wazlowski looked great. He struck out two men.
Hughes, count of three and two on Yostremski. Here's the pitch. A change up.
Ground to the subpoena. Ball in five. Out in the right field. Yostremski. Thank you for two. No he makes a big turn at first base and back in there.
That ball was hit hard. Right at subpoena. We'll have to wait and see whether he gets a hit on error. And they gave Yostremski a hit.
And that brings up Ken Harrelson. Talking to Harrelson before the game started. And Bobby Doerr. The batting coach for the Red Sox.
They have moved Harrelson up on the plate. He's gotten a little bit closer to his work and he says he may break loose today.
Let's see what happens. Dick Hughes flips the ball over to Sepetit first. Yostremski with not too much of a lead. It's two away.
Base runner on at first base is Yostremski. Hughes looking down. He's set. Here's the pitch. Harrelson swings and misses. Strike one.
As Harry told you, Hughes spent nine years in the minor leagues. He said it was a long, tough fight getting up here. But it was worth it.
And they say what helped him stay here was that Billy Muffet, the pitching coach for the Cardinals, taught him this no-wind up pitch of his and gave him control.
Here's the pitch. He's swinging the miss. Strike two. As Hughes threw the ball right by Harrelson.
That's been his best fastball, P.W. It looks like he got what he'd been trying to throw a little earlier. Real good fastball.
Dick Hughes pitching to Ken Harrelson. Yostremski on at first. Hughes comes set, looks over to Strip. Here's the pitch.
It's a curveball, a breaking pitch outside. Makes a count. One ball and two strikes.
The umpire today prior behind home plate the National League. At first base, Stevens. At second base, Al Barlich. At third base, Humont.
Down the line, Barlich, Donatelli at left field. There goes the runner. It's a little tap foul down the third baseline.
Yostremski going back to first. Down the right field line, it's Ed Runge.
Count remains. One ball and two strikes on Ken Harrelson. In this series, he has one hit in six times at bat.
If you remember correctly, he drove in the first run in Monday's game over Bush. Here's the pitch to Harrelson. He's struck him out.
So that's all for Ken Harrelson. That's all for the Red Sox here in the bottom half of the first inning.
The score after one inning in play, the Cardinals nothing and the Red Sox nothing.
Going into the top of the second, Orlando Cepeda who's been stopped cold by the Boston pitching staff.
He's had only two hits in the series, both doubles. He's hitting 150 and he'll be leading it off for the Cardinals in the top of the second with no score in this ball game.
Yes sir, Cepeda's had a little trouble so far in this series. When the sixth game, Wazlowski into the windup. The pitch, sidearm fastball inside ball one.
Wazlowski's three-quarter sidearm. His ball runs in on a right-handed hitter. Cepeda holding that bat straight up in the air.
Here's Wazlowski, the pitch. Fastball right in there, call strike one. One ball, one strike on Cepeda as he backs out of there.
Saying something to the umpire, Paul Pryor. Cepeda has two hits and 19 times at bat. Wazlowski taking the sign from Elston Howard.
The windup, the pitch, her ball, it's popped up. So far the third baseman may have a chance for it. It went and brings it back in, way back in.
And he takes it for out number one.
So Cepeda, still having a little trouble getting a base hit. And that's been the one reason, one of the reasons that the Cardinals had a little trouble scoring.
Here's another fellow, McCarver has two for 16 batting 125. He's having a little trouble. Left-handed hitter, the big catcher, passed over that plate.
Backs out now, Paul Pryor calling time. They play him a bat straight away.
The foy, Joe Foy, the third baseman is in on the grass. A good sinker low and outside, ball one by Wazlowski.
It's one away. We're in the top half, the second in ink. Harry Carey and I'm Pee Wee Reese bringing you the sixth game of the World Series here in Boston.
And how beautiful day it is. You never thought it if you'd have been here last night. Couldn't ask for a better day.
Wazlowski looking down at his catcher. Here's the pitch, the windup. Ground ball out the shortstop. Petticelli has it up over to George Scott.
And that's all for McCarver. That brings up Mike Shannon. Mike Shannon, he has four for 16. Has one home run.
Big right-handed hitter. Third baseman for the Cardinals. Up there right now. Back in that batter's buck, Wazlowski, the windup. Here's the pitch.
Straight to this on a curve ball. This fellow looks to me like he could be a little rough.
One strike on Mike Shannon. Wazlowski, the windup. The pitch. Curve ball. Just got the outside corner. Strike two.
So quickly, Wazlowski gets ahead of Mike Shannon.
The infieler. Move back a little bit more. Now with two strikes on Shannon, especially Joe Foy at third base.
The 0-2 pitch to Shannon. Here it is. Saddam Kerrball just missed. One ball and two strikes.
The on-deck circle. Pooley and Javier. He's had quite a series. Into the windup, Wazlowski. The pitch. Kerrball missed. Outside. Two balls and two strikes.
Wazlowski. A little bit slower. Mike Shannon. In the box. Two and twos account on him. They're two away.
Into the windup. The pitch by Wazlowski. A grounder after shortstop. Petruselli. Up with it. The long throw over to Scott.
And that's all for Mike Shannon. And that's all for the Cardinals here at the top half of the second and even. No runs, no hits, and nowhere. So the score after one and a half inning of play, it's the Samples Cardinals. Nothing. The Boston Red Sox. Nothing.
Now, Romeo said, Julie, baby, our little compact is a bust. I've been down to see the Dodge boys. Got a band that's dark for us.
I give a fever. Dodge fever. We're the sleek-sheet fever that's got everyone. Fever. You're gonna love it. That's why that is number one. You get the fever. Dodge fever. You get the fever. Dodge fever.
And for a great deal on America's first choice in compacts, the man-sized Dodge Dart. See your nearby Dodge dealer. He'll show you why Dart is America's largest-selling six-passenger compact. And with his great Dart deals, he's going to keep it there.
Bottom half of the second inning. George Scott leading off with the Red Sox. No score in this ballgame. One hit. Carl Yastrowski has one for Boston. Scott batting 222. The first pitch by Dick Hughes in there. Strike one.
Dick Hughes. Here's the pitch. Hit out in the left field. Will the wind get a hold of it? Yes. Lou Brock coming back in a couple of steps and takes it for out number one. And George Scott almost got that one.
We've talked so much about this Green Monster wall out in the left field. It's about 300 feet down the left field line. A concrete wall about 15 feet, then it has a tin wall about 40, 45 feet, then a screen on top of that.
Made a lot of pitchers come up with a sore arm when they see this short left field fence. Reggie Smith is the hitter. He wants to look at the ball. Paul Pryor throws it out. So it's one away, brings up the center fielder. Reggie Smith.
One away. Batting left-handed against the right-hander, Dick Hughes. Here's the pitch to Reggie. That's a ball a little bit too low. Ball one. McCarver bouncing around behind home plate.
Reggie Smith led the Red Sox. There's a ball hit out in the left field. Right field. Roger Maris right there and takes it for out number two. Two balls. Pretty hard. One to left and one to right.
What to say about Reggie Smith. He has good speed. He led the Red Sox and stole the place in the 16th. Rico Petrocelli is a hitter with two away. Dick Hughes standing staring down at his catcher. Here's the pitch.
Her ball. At the outset, Connor strike one. Petrocelli having a little trouble getting a base hit. He's one for 14 in the series. Here's the pitch by Hughes. That's a ball hit. It's gonna be gone. A whole run for Rico Petrocelli.
He didn't need any short left field fans on that. That would have been a whole run in any park in America. He really pounced on it.
That brings up Elston Howard. Steal two away. Dick Hughes first pitch to him. In there. Call strike one. And you are so right Harry. That could have been, as I've said so many times, it would have been a home run in any park. Yellowstone Park.
Elston Howard tries to check his swing. Gets a piece of it. Strike two. Petrocelli could have been a slider Harry and he really creamed it. It was up. Those short stops like to hit that high pitch.
The 0-2 pitch to Elston Howard. One half for the Javier. Over to Cepeda. And that's all for Elston Howard and that's all for the Red Sox in the bottom half of the second inning. But they came up with one run on one big hit. And the score after two innings of play is the Red Sox 1 and the set goes Cardinals nothing.
Hi. My name is Homer Mittens and I want to tell you about a funny thing. You see, I'm a man and I have these habituals I do every morning. Open my eyes. Stretch. Get out of bed. Things like that. I do them every morning.
And another thing I do, I shave. Because I find times to make my face less hairy. So anyway, one night I see this commercial on television for the Gillette Super Stainless Blade. You know, with the miracle plaster coating on the edge. And here's the funny thing, see. They call it the spoiler.
Because once you try it, you're supposed to get spoiled. You know, I'm a grown man. I have tantrums and things like that. So anyway, I buy a pack and I bring them home that night. I don't shave at night because that's not one of my habituals. But the next morning I go into, can I say bathroom?
I go into the bathroom and I shave with them. And you know what? It really is great. And I really can't go back to my old ways of shaving. But to say I'm spoiled, come on. I'm merely an astute judge of shaving apparatus, if you know what I mean.
We've had two innings of this ballgame. The Red Sox one run, two hits, no errors. The Cardinals nothing across. They haven't had a man reach base. I mentioned before the game, Peewee, that previously in this World Series, the team that scored first went on to win each game. The Red Sox have scored first today. Will that hold up?
I was just thinking, Harry, are you trying to tell me something? Oh, that's been true. Seems like the team that gets out of that gate first, they seem to be the winner. Wazlowski has looked great too.
Retired sixth man in a row, struck out Brock in the first inning and Maris, that's the pay to the pop up to four at third. McCarver and Shannon, both grounded out to Rico Petracella, the shortstop.
They're going to the top half of the third inning and here's a fellow that's had quite a series. Made a couple of great outstanding plays out at second base. He has six for 17, batting.353.
Uli Javier, he'll be followed by Dal Maxwell, the shortstop, and the pitcher Dick Hughes. Wazlowski into the windup, the pitch to Javier. Curve ball hit out into left field. That ball could be off the wall.
Yastrinsky back there, it is right off the top of the wall. Yastrinsky cannot pick it up. Javier into second with a stand up double. That didn't miss being a homer by more than an inch or two, P.
We had hit right on the very top of the green monster as it were. Another couple of inches higher and it had hit the screen. Yes sir, it almost scraped that screen on top of the green monster.
That was very close to being a home run. So Javier keeps it going. Gets his seventh hit in the series, a first hit in this ball game by the way. A double by Javier.
Starting things off here in the top half of the third inning for the Cardinals. Maxwell, the little shortstop's a hitter. Let's see if he tries to hit the ball in the right field to get Javier over to third.
Javier likes to run and can run. Wazlowski checking Javier at second. Here's the pitch. Ball to shortstop. Pepa-Selli up with it over to shortstop and Javier had the hole at the back.
Maxwell grounding out six to three. And this is one thing here that the Cardinals very seldom do. They usually make the little fundamental plays like hitting that ball to the right with a runner on second and no one out.
Especially a fellow like Maxwell who's made a career out of hitting the ball to right field but I think Wazlowski just pulled him with a pitch in on his hands and he couldn't get it over there. Instead wound up pulling the ball to the shortstop.
Hic-Hugh's a hitter. It's one away. Javier down at second. The pitch. A good cut. No contact. Strike one. Yeah, it looks pretty easy sometimes just to hit that ball to right field but it ain't.
No runs. One hit for the Cardinals. For the Red Sox, one run and two hits. We're in the top half of third inning. One away. Wazlowski looks back at Javier at second. Pepa-Selli breaks in back of him. Back over his position. Here's the pitch.
Fastball in there. Call strike two. Pepa-Selli trying to keep Javier close at second base as Mike Andrew the second baseman playing Hughes to hit the right. He's way off to the right.
Almost on the grass. Pepa-Selli comes up in back of him now. Wazlowski. Pitch to Hughes. He strikes him out.
So that's the third strikeout for Gary Wazlowski as Dick Hughes has a good ripple of that bat but didn't make any contact. Lou Brock struck out his first time.
He wants to take a look at the ball. Elston Hards gives it to Paul Pryor. They throw it out.
Javier started the inning off with a double off of the green monster, the left field wall. Just barely missed being a home run.
But he's still down there after two men out. Lou Brock having a chance to tie this game up. He has a closed stance.
He hits the ball words pitch. Label hitter to the left. Back through the middle to the right. Wazlowski. Here's the pitch to it.
He's got to keep the ball down. It's a little outside. Ball one. Brock, a good high ball hitter. He can flap the ball but he also has good power.
He's in his second World Series. He hit.300 in the 64 series and did not have a stolen base. Wazlowski looking back at his runner.
Here's the pitch. Fast ball outside. Ball two. Pitching very carefully to Brock who's been a hot hitter in the series.
He has a base open but Brock represents a lead run. He doesn't want to walk him intentionally but with a right-handed batter coming up next he wants to make sure he doesn't make a mistake to Brock.
That's right and the right-handed batter had a real good year. He hit.335 but in the series Kurt's having a little trouble.
So I imagine Wazlowski would rather pitch to Flood than he would to Brock right now. Is that right? He's pitching rather carefully right now to Brock.
He's going to count two balls and no strikes on him. Wazlowski. Here's a pitch to Brock. A grounder. Can he get to it? No sir. It's a base hit out in the right field.
Here comes Javier in to score the tying run. As with a count of two balls and no strikes on him, Wazlowski comes in there and Brock gets a base hit.
So that's the second hit given up by Wazlowski. Wazlowski elected a pitch to Lou Brock.
They say that Wazlowski has a real fine move to first base. He had better have because Brock likes to run. Kurt Flood, there's the pitch. Over to first base. A good move. Two away.
One run, two hits for both clubs. Another throw to first base and he does have a good move Harry. I thought I should say he does.
That's Brock's ninth hit of the series. He leads all hitters in total hits but it was his first run batted in.
Two away. In the top half of the third inning, Wazlowski trying to hold Brock close at first base. Brock trying to get that good lead. Wazlowski looking down his catcher, Elson Howard.
He takes his time. Here's a pitch and there goes Brock. The pitch is swung on. The throw. Did he get it? He saves.
He now has had four stolen bases, nine hits, five runs scored, one run batted in. He's got a pretty good chance to be the star of the series.
And he was your pick at the start of it. I had that in mind. It's nice of you to bring it up.
Luke Brock after Wazlowski making a couple of quick throws over the first base to try to hold him there, he took off the first time he went home and he's down in second with a stolen base.
The game is all tied up one and one. Wazlowski looks back at Brock.
They set out into left field. They may have a chance to get Yostrimski up the ball. Here comes the throw. Can they get him? He's safe.
That was a ball that was hit hard in the hole on the ground after Yostrimski in left field.
Now Brock, as you know, has tremendous speed. Yostrimski has one of the best throwing arms you'd want to see.
He charged that ball, but they could not get him. As Luke Brock came in there, hit first.
He's the only man that would have scored on that play. That's how final play Yostrimski made. He almost had him at the play. Anybody but Brock would have been out.
I believe you're right. Kurt Flood on the first base to throw over there. Not in time. Roger Maris is a hitter.
Wazlowski's pitch to Roger Maris. Face hit out into right field. Kurt Flood making the turn. Will he go to third? Yes, sir.
Here comes a throw by Harrelson, but not in time to get Kurt Flood as the ball is cut off at second base by Petruzzelli.
It's two away. Orlando Cepeda up there right now. He popped out to the Joe Foy third base. His first time up.
Wazlowski's pitch to him. Purrball outside. Ball one. Brock single. Flood single. Maris single.
Here's the pitch to Cepeda. Grounded down to Joe Foy at third. Up to the ball. One handed.
The long throw over to George Scott. That's all for Cepeda. That's all for the Cardinals here in the top half of the third inning.
But they came up with two big runs. So the score after two and a half innings of play is the St. Willis Cardinals two and the Boston Red Sox one.
They're going to the bottom half of the third inning.
There's Wazlowski. The first hitter for the Red Sox. The Red Sox trail by a score of two to one.
Dick Hughes. First pitch to Wazlowski. Swung out and missed. Strike one.
Petrocelli hit a home run for the Boston Red Sox on their run. Here's a pitch by Hughes. Purrball. Swung on and missed. Strike two.
Wazlowski will be followed by Joe Foy and Mike Andrews.
Dick Hughes looking for his first win in the World Series. He lost one. The second game against L'Anne Borg.
He struck Gary Wazlowski out on a good fastball. Just got that outside corner. He was caught looking.
That's the second strikeout for Dick Hughes. Brings up Joe Foy.
He popped up his first time to Javier.
Hughes does not take too much time on the mound as we've said. McCarver giving the signs. He just stands there at that ball in his glove.
Does not make too much of a move. Here's a pitch. A slider that's high and inside. Ball one.
Sepated first, Javier at second. Max foot short. Channing at third. Here's a pitch. A good fastball. Just got the outside corner. One ball and one strike.
Really Hughes throws his slider so hard it's hard to distinguish whether it's a fastball or a slider.
One ball and one strike. The pitch. It's popped up again. Max foot shortstop. Channing his eyes. He backs up and takes it for out number two.
Joe Foy popping out to Dow Maxfield. The Cardinals have four hits. And two runs. The Red Sox have one run on two hits.
Mike Andrews hit a line drive to Lou Brock in left field his last time up. Here's a pitch that's outside. Ball one. A breaking pitch.
Juan O's account on Mike. They play him straight away. He chokes up on the bat. The pitch by Hughes. It's popped up.
Mike Shannon at third over Tim McCarver. Shannon calls for it in foul territory and takes it for the third out.
So that's all for Andrews and that's all for the Red Sox in the bottom half of the third inning. No runs, no hits, no errors. No one left on base.
The score after three things of play. The Cardinals two and the Red Sox one.
Most of us enjoy watching the strategy of these World Series managers. When one of them sends up a left-handed pinch hitter, the other is just likely to counter by waving a south pole to the mound.
For every move, there's a counter move, right? Well, you know, it won't be long now before winter makes its move and all of us are going to have to meet it.
And when ice and snow cover the road, the safest counter move you can make is B.F. Goodrich's Trailmaker Silver Town snow tires.
Trailmakers give your car real digging power. The deep biting edges digging deep to keep you going.
The full-fine nylon car construction means many winters of safe driving miles.
B.F.G. Trailmaker snow tires can be yours for no money now. And insulation is free, too.
If you need extra traction, you can get your trailmakers with steel safety studs. So don't be outmaneuvered by snow and ice.
Stay on top of winter with Trailmaker Silver Towns from your B.F. Goodrich store art dealer.
Well, we're going to the top half, the fourth inning, and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to bring this fellow back into the mic.
He's always done a professional job, and he has done for many years. He's been the boss of the Cardinals since 1946.
I know you enjoy listening to him. My friend, Harry Carey. Come on in, Harry.
Thank you very much, Peewee, and hello again, everybody. Tim McCarver will lead it off as we go on to the top of the fourth.
The Cardinals are out in front two to one. Two runs, four hits, no errors for the Redbirds. One run, two hits, no errors for Boston.
A capacity crowd, of course. It's almost redundant to even mention a crowd here.
You know that it's jam-packed every day at this small Fenway Park. McCarver hasn't had a good World Series.
He's had two out of 17 so far. Left-handed batter against Gary Wasilewski.
The wind-up, the first pitch. Fastball in there at the knees, a strike is called.
Foy playing wide at third base. The outfield plays McCarver straight away, hits the ball to all fields.
The second baseman, Andrews, plays him a little bit to pull. One strike and no ball.
The wind-up by Wasilewski, the pitch. Curveball low and outside. That evened it up for the ball and the strike.
Nobody on, nobody out, top of the fourth. Cardinals out in front two to one in the sixth game of the World Series.
Wasilewski gets his signal. Rangey right-hander delivers. Ground ball to the first baseman, Scott.
He gobbles it up, races to the bag, easy on it. One gone, and the Red Sox put the ball around.
Gary Wasilewski, who was born in Meridian, Connecticut, now lives in Kensington, Connecticut,
attended the University of Connecticut for a year, originally signed with the Pittsburgh organization.
He was drafted by the Red Sox from the Pirate organization after the 64th season.
This is eighth year in professional baseball. Mike Shannon the batter, one out and nobody on.
The pitch to him is a fastball, high and tight.
Blue Brock stole his fourth base of the World Series in that Cardinal third inning.
Here's the pitch. Swung and he missed the fastball.
And this would be a new record for a six-game series, breaking the record of three by Eddie Collins
and the White Sox back in 1917. Mike Shannon, one ball, one strike.
The pitch by Wasilewski, swung, ground ball, sharply hit to Petracelli.
Knocks it down, picks it up and throws, safe. Let's see how they're going to curl that.
The ball was hit very hard at Petracelli. It's an error. An error charge to Rico.
An excusable error on that one because that ball was hit like a shot.
So with one out, the Cardinals have a baserunner and here's Houli and Javier who started that third inning
with a double off the top of the left field wall, then missed being a homer by no more than a couple of inches.
Javier having a fine world series with seven out of 18.
Scrabbles the plate. That's the kind of hitter. If you make a mistake on him, he's a home run threat.
He can hit the ball a mile. Shannon the lead, Wasilewski from the belt.
Ready to fire. Now time is called as he took so much time on the hesitation.
Knock Javier off his rhythm up there and he called for time.
No balls, no strikes on Houli and Javier. Runner at first base, one out.
The Cardinals lead him two to one. We're in the top of the fourth.
Wasilewski taking a lot of time. Lances off the shoulder. Here's the pitch.
It's in there for a strike call. Sidearm fastball.
Wasilewski, you'd figure, would be very tough on the right-handed hitters.
He started wheels from the side, has a good sinking fastball.
Throws a pound ball too as his change of pace. There's Shannon the lead, one out.
The pitch, low and outside. That evens it up with a ball and a strike.
Javier, who hit 281 during the regular season with 14 homers, drove in 64 runs.
In this series he's hitting around 400 with 8, with 7 out of 18.
Four of his eight hits, four of his seven hits have been doubles by the way for Javier.
He leads in the series and doubles with four.
He comes over to dry his hands off as Wasilewski seems to be getting in his hair a little bit with his delayed style of pitching.
Harry, I believe that Javier kept checking with the coach at third base there at Joel's Shoals.
They may see something come on. I know Javier can handle that bat. They may have a hit and run on here.
If it's a ball here, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see Shannon take off.
He pitches out. He must have had the same thought in mind, Peewee, and his ball too.
Two balls and a strike, one out and one on.
All game in the fourth inning they want to look at the baseball. The playdumpier, Paul Pryor, examines it and tosses it back to Wasilewski.
Nobody ever threw a spitball in a World Series, did they? Never happened.
Two balls and a strike. Shannon, a lead off first base. Scott holding them back.
Wasilewski whirls and throws over there, but he's safe standing up.
Two balls and a strike. Dick Sissler coaching at first base. Joel's Shoals at third base.
Cardinal's leading two to one. We're in the top of the fourth.
The outfield playing Javier straight away. There's the pitch. Popped up.
In foul territory, Joe Foy, the third baseman, and makes the catch, actually in fair territory.
Saw how the air pops to Foy. He had a good pitch to hit that time, but popped it up.
So with two out down, Maxville, the shot's down.
You know, Rico Petraselli, I guess he wouldn't mind if Hughes pitched every day.
He's had two hits in the series and both came off Dick Hughes.
He's driven in two runs in the series and both were driven in against Hughes.
It was Petraselli's home run that started the scoring today.
Here's Maxville. Likes to hit for the opposite field. Throw to first, the runner is back.
Maxville is a hitter the Cardinals like to hit and run with.
But with two out in the pitcher coming up next, not much probability of that.
A lead by Shannon and the fifth.
Fly ball, deep center field, Reggie Smith, back, back, back. He's there and he makes the catch.
Over his shoulder, a beautiful play in deep center.
And so it's no run, no hits, one air, one left.
We go into the bottom half of the fourth inning. The score remains.
The Cardinals 2, the Red Sox 1.
Now Cleopatra said to Tony, this barge would try from east or west.
Let's go down and see the Dodge boys and treat it full of coal
and let you get the fever, Dodge fever. When you see it, fever from the swinging style.
Beaver!
1968 Carnet. It's a whole new style. Lively, with it.
Inside is tall, wide room and deep comfort.
68 Carnet, the lively, low-priced cure for Dodge fever.
See it at your Dodge dealers now.
We're going into the bottom of the fourth. It's 2-1.
The scoring started with 2 out in the second inning when Rico Petroselli
lined a savage home run off the left field screen.
A home run that would have gone out of any ballpark.
Then in the third, Javier let off with a double to just miss being a homer.
The next two men went out.
From the irrepressible, Lou Brock, single the right to score Javier with a tying run.
And Flood single after Brock had stolen second for his fourth stolen base in the series
to score Brock with a go-ahead run.
And that's where we stand now.
Here's Yostremski to lead off against Dick Hughes.
The first bit. Slow curve is outside.
Yostremski, home run off Hughes.
Here in the second game of the series.
So he's had 2 out of 3 against Dick Hughes.
As a result of a single off Cepeda's glove in the first inning today.
Bottom of the fourth, 2 to 1 St. Louis in the sixth game of the World Series.
If the Cardinals win, it's the final game.
Here's the pitch low with sinking fastball.
If the Cardinals lose, it will be a seven game World Series with Gibson versus Lernbord tomorrow.
And what a dramatic finish that one would be.
Carl Yostremski ahead of Hughes with two balls, no strike.
Fold it back.
And you knew he'd be getting a cut if the pitcher was over that plate.
Yostremski has him become famous by drawing bases on balls.
It's hitting the ball out of the park that's made him the Triple Clown winner and the MVP.
44 homers during the season. The pitch.
There's a long drive. Might be out of here.
It could be. It is a home run.
Carl Yostremski.
Hit a long drive. You wondered whether the wind might hold it up.
Deep in the left center off the screen.
And this game is tied up as the Red Sox are showing their muscle here tonight with two home runs.
Here's Harrelson. The pitch is low.
Dick Hughes. Struggling off since the game started.
It's tied up on home runs by Pet Griselli and now Yostremski.
Both home runs were well-kissed.
Ken Harrelson fanned his first time up the pitch.
There's a long drive. Deep left center. Way back is Throdden Rock.
Blood's crawling for the ball at the 379 mark and he has it.
Harrelson fly deep to flood.
Now there's one that the wind had to hurt.
Hit towards left center. The wind blowing out of the west towards right field.
Saw that it drifted the ball towards the deeper point in center field where flood grabbed it.
Here's George Scott. This crowd has really come to life.
The Red Sox have come from behind to tie it now at 2-2.
Yostremski's third homer of the series. Scott half swing on the first pitch. Strike one.
Yostremski has hit two of his three home runs off-hue.
Two runs, four hits, no errors for the Cardinals so far. Two runs, three hits, one error for the Red Sox.
Here's a pitch to Scott. High, pop, foul, outside first, near the stands, out of play.
Two strikes, no ball. Scott hasn't driven in a run in the series.
The Red Sox hasn't had a homer in the series, hitting 2-22.
During the regular season he hit 19 home runs.
He's had four out of 19 so far.
You know in the second game of this World Series with a score of nothing, nothing, here's a pitch, curve outside.
Yostremski was the leadoff man in the fourth inning and drilled a line drive into the right field seats off-hues
The Red Sox a 1-0 lead.
Here's the pitch. Scott takes a curve low and outside to hit him enough.
Hughes is struggling. He's not the same Hughes we saw many times during the regular season.
He's not as quick and he's not as sharp.
Two balls, two strikes. The pitch to Scott.
Ground ball up the middle. Maxfield to his left nicely. The throw, he's on.
Maxfield, Rome to his left near second base, scooped up Scott's roller and threw him up.
That's two away and it brings up Reggie Smith.
The similarity of situation. I mentioned in the second game how Yostremski, the first man up in the fourth in a homer to give the Red Sox a 1-0 lead.
They went on to shut out the Cardinals.
Now today in the fourth inning he let off again. Another homerun, this time to left center to give the Red Sox a tie at 2-2.
The pitch to Reggie Smith. Curve in there as strike call.
Ball game in the bottom of the fourth, all tied up 2-2.
Hughes' pitch to the left-hand batter inside forced him back a slider.
And the count evens at a ball and a strike. Reggie Smith hit 15 homers during the regular season. He's had one homer in the series.
Dick Hughes getting set. The spectacled right-hander, the pitch.
Foul ball back and out of play. The Red Sox are getting good cuts.
The Cardinals scored two runs with four hits in the third inning, a leadoff double by Hadi Edd and two outs singles by Brock, Flood, and Max.
Nelson Briers has started to warm up in the bullpen for the Cardinals.
He was the winner early in the series. Here's the pitch foul back and out of play.
And the count, two strikes and a ball.
Brials, you know, won the third game of the series 5-2 over the Red Sox.
Reggie Smith digging in. Now Hughes is set. Here's the pitch. Change of pace one on a long ride.
Might be out of here. It could be. It is a bull ride.
Reggie Smith, second homer in the World Series, puts the Red Sox into the lead, 3-2.
An off-speed pitch that he pulled right down the line. And here's Puck Vasili. No pitch.
He swings with a curve, and if he'd have hit that one, that one would have gone out of here.
They're getting some cuts at Hughes. They've hit three homers. And they lead 3-2. Each team now has had four hits.
The pitch by Hughes, curveball outside. Nelson Brials working in the bullpen.
And I would imagine the reason he hasn't come in is because Hughes is due to be the first batter up.
Here's a pitch. One on a long ride. It might be out of here. It is a bull ride.
The third homer of the inning. The second straight homer for Puck Vasili.
The reason the manager, Red Cheney, I'm sure hasn't taken Hughes out is because he is the first man up in the fifth inning.
And he wants to employ a pinch hitter. And he doesn't want to waste Brials. So he's got Ron Willis getting ready now.
His red coming out slowly. And as he walks out, we'll pause 30 seconds for station identification.
Hi. This is Bob Richards. You know why the Cardinals made it into the series?
Not because they were lucky. They got to the top the same way we all do, with hard work.
And no matter who you are, that takes plenty of energy. The kind you get in Wheaties,
with its protein, wheat germ, natural sugars, vitamins, and iron.
It's a great tasting, energy packed way to start your day. So give them a try.
Wheaties, breakfast of champions.
KMOX, KMOX FM, St. Louis.
With Pee Wee Reese, this is Harry Carrey at Fenway Park.
And these Red Sox fans, as rabid as they are in the world, have really have something to cheer about.
With the score, 2-1 going to the bottom of the fourth,
Cole Jostremski led off with a long home run against the Laf Center Field screen.
After the next two men went out, Reggie Smith, with a count of two strikes, and a ball, I believe it was,
hit an off-speed pitch that he pulled right down the line into the right field corner.
The shortest distance home run I guess you could hit. A line drive in there for a home run.
And that gave the Red Sox a one run lead.
And Enrico Petrocelli drilled one far over the Laf Center Field screen.
And the Red Sox have scored three all on homers, and are out in front 4-2 in the bottom of the fourth.
And Ron Willis now comes in. Nelson Browse continues to pitch out the bullpen.
Willis has only had a few minutes to get ready.
And the purpose of Willis is to get Howard, and then he'll pitch him for Willis in all probability
in the top of the fifth, and bring in Browse, one of their starting pitchers.
Well, Harry, I think that you call the turn there.
Of course, Red Shandies, after the Red Sox had gone out and fought by a score of 3-2,
I'm sure that Red noticed that they were having some pretty good cut, and pretty good cuts at Dick Hughes.
He kept hoping he'd get the next batter out. It kind of hurt a little bit there.
But Hughes didn't seem like he had as good a stuff today as he did in the second game that he pitched Harry.
And in the second game, he himself said that he did have his good stuff.
So Dick Hughes, after a great season, has had trouble here at Fenway Park.
And now around Willis comes in. Willis is making his third appearance, all in relief.
He's allowed two runs to make that four runs. Three hits. He's won four.
Elston Howard will be the batter.
Four to two, to favor the Red Sox.
Here's the windup by Willis to Pitt. He had a cut of him in his strike one.
One strike and over. The Red Sox, with a home run barrage, have hit four homers today.
And lead four to two. The pitch to Howard. Swung at a curveball to miss.
This is a record for a pitcher allowing three home runs in one inning.
So Dick Hughes will be in the record book. He won't be happy about it, but those are the facts.
First time that three home runs have been hit in one inning off a pitcher in World Series competition.
Four home runs off one pitcher in a game ties the record. Here's the pitch to Howard. Bouncing ball to Shannon.
He feels it. Here's the throw. In time to retire the side.
What an inning the Red Sox had. Three runs on three home runs. No errors, nobody left.
And at the end of the four, the score Boston for St. Louis two.
You know the experts tell me that the average guy has about 15,000 whiskers on his face.
And that adds up to a lot of shaving day in and day out.
That's the best reason I can think of for using Gillette Foamy. No other shaving creams in its league.
Gillette Foamy is as rich and thick and moist and full of lather as your beard has ever come up against.
And there's a mountain of shaving comfort in every can. No wonder it's the number one choice among men.
So remember, nobody makes a lather like Foamy. Nobody makes a lather like Gillette.
Your new Technicrat razor gives a very nice shave.
Crazy about not having to handle razor blades since I got your Tectonics razor.
Mr. Montgomery, ladies and gentlemen, I like the light feel of your Technonic razor.
The hard-pronouncing, easy-shaving Gillette Technic. Ask your face about it.
We're going to the top half of the fifth inning.
We'll have a pinch hitter for Ron Willis, Ed Spezio out in the on-deck circle.
And hey, the way these balls have been hit here today.
See, there's five hits for the Red Sox, four home runs.
The Cardinals have four hits. That's kind of the way I thought this series would be when it started.
Everybody thought it would be a hitting series. It's turned out to be a pitching one so far up until today.
And now they've broken loose. And here's Eddie Spezio coming out as a pinch hitter.
Twenty-six-year-old utility infielder. Right-handed batter. His first World Series appearance.
Spezio takes a fastball high. Three home runs and one inning off a pitcher, Dick Hughes, is the World Series record.
Four home runs in a game off one pitcher ties a record for home runs allowed.
Five home runs in one series off Hughes ties a record. Here's Spezio taking a strike over the outside corner.
Lou Burnett held a record at five with the Braves in 1958. Now Hughes has tied that.
Charlie Root with the Cubs and Gene Thompson with the Reds allowed four in one game.
And Hughes tied that. Here's the pitch. Spezio fouls it back.
And Hughes set a record allowing three home runs in one inning.
Eddie Spezio leading it off. Two strikes and a ball. The sixth game of the World Series.
And the Red Sox are leading four to two. If they hold that lead it means it goes to the decisive game tomorrow
with Gibson pitching against Lombard. Here's the pitch on the way to Spezio.
Hot shot on the ground to Foy. He's got it. Here's the fake to first base. Easy out.
Spezio hitting the ball sharply but right at Foy. That's one gone and it brings up Lou Brock.
He drove in his first run of the series in the third inning with his ninth hit of the series.
He stole his fourth base in that inning. But the Red Sox pounce on Dick Hughes.
Elston Howard's going off to talk to Wasilewski.
And he's probably saying, I don't care what you throw, just keep them off base.
Brock has been a standout in the series but so has Jastremski.
Jastremski's two home runs gave the Red Sox the second game victory as he drove in four of the five runs they scored.
And it was his home run here today that tied it up on the fourth.
Here's the pitch by Wasilewski. Fastball strike over the outside corner.
And Lou Brock didn't like that. Looked back at Paul Pryor.
One man out, nobody on base. The ball game in the fifth. Red Sox leading four to two.
Here's the pitch. Ground ball to the first baseman's got it. The pitcher covers the toss. He's out! Spectacular play!
George Scott ranged forward to his right. Looked like he may have made a bad decision going after the ball that he would not be able to reach it.
Whereas the second baseman Andrews you thought perhaps might get to it.
But Scott made a sparkly backhand stop and perfect throw to Wasilewski who was quick covering.
And Brock is retired. That brings up flood. Boy, an exciting ball game here today. Two men are out.
We're in the top of the fifth. Red Sox leading four to two.
Gary Wasilewski has a two-run lead. And flood had a cut at the curveball. Foul enough.
The Cardinals have made four hits. Only one for extra bases at double behavior.
The Red Sox have made five hits. Four of them have been homers.
Kurt Flood waiting.
Now the sign. Wasilewski. Built like Jim Lombard. Tall and rangy. And equally handsome.
A pitch. Foul back. And he's in the hole. Strike two.
Kurt Flood drove in a go-ahead run in the third. A run that gave the Cardinals a two-to-one lead.
But the Red Sox with their home run barrage, a record-breaking home run barrage by the way in one inning for World Series competition, have taken the lead four to two.
Two men out, nobody on base. Flood the batter. One out of two in this game.
Four out of 22 in the series. Curveball outside. And the count. Two strikes and the ball.
The Cardinals have hit only two home runs in the series. One by Shannon, one by Maritz.
Both on their home ball bar. They haven't hit any here.
Flood strikes out swinging. Kurt Flood goes down swinging. And the Cardinals go down in honor.
So at the end of four and a half innings here at Fenway Park, the score Boston four, St. Louis two.
It's what's up front that counts. And up front ahead of the filter.
Only Winston has the good, good taste. That comes from filter blend.
Filter blend means line 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 tobaccos specially selected for the best taste in filter cigarettes.
Winston tastes good like a cigarette should. Winston.
Harry Carey and I'm Peewee Reese bringing you the sixth game of the World Series at Fenway Park in Boston.
The score here. St. Louis Cardinals two runs on four hits, no errors.
The Boston Red Sox four runs on five hits and one error. Nelson Browse is a new pitcher.
He went nine innings. He won the game. He gave up two runs. He struck out four and he gave up seven hits.
Nelson Browse will be the third pitcher for the Cardinals here today. And to tell you all about it, Harry Carey.
All right, Peewee. Gary Wasilewski will lead it off here. I guess Nelson Browse.
Thanks, Hughes, while he was in there. In three and two-thirds innings, around five hits, four runs, struck out two, walked nobody.
Ron Willis pitched the final out on the fourth, so he is credited with one-third of an inning.
He got nothing across and now Browse becomes the third Cardinal pitcher. The score four to two in favor of the Red Sox.
Wasilewski swings and it's a high, pop foul, out of play, onto the roof in the left-field corner.
One strike and no ball. Nobody on and nobody out. Bottom of the fifth. Red Sox leading by two, four to two.
Ed Popowski coaching at third base, Bobby Doran first base. The pitch to Wasilewski. It hits him. Curveball hits him in the line.
That was a curveball that just didn't break. And Wasilewski walks down the first baseline.
So there is a fortunate development. Wasilewski isn't hurt. I don't believe he's there spraying his arm.
Marty Leroux is spraying the left arm where he was hit. Wasilewski, as you know, is a right-handed pitcher.
Marty Leroux, the trainer of the Red Sox, a very popular little fellow who for years was with the Boston Celtics.
Joe Foil be the batter. Nelson Browse hits the first man he pitches.
And here's Foil. Foil, nothing out of two. Right-handed batter. Browse's pitch. Here it is.
He bumps right back to Browse. Got a play. He bubbles it. Don't have the throw to first.
He had a play at second base, but juggled the ball. It's going to be a sacrifice from Browse to Javier.
And that will give Mike Anders and Carl Jaskrimski a chance at driving in another run.
It's four to two in favor of the Red Sox.
Andrews has nothing out of two against Hughes, downing 400 in the series.
That 400 average dropped now to 250, with his 0 for 2.
Right-handed batter, a fine second baseman this boy. The stretch by Browse. The pitch. It's a curveball low.
One ball, no strikes.
Michael Andrews, born in Los Angeles. Just 24 years old. First full season with the Red Sox.
The pitch by Browse. Here it is. Fastball low. Ball two. Two balls, no strikes.
Andrews hit 264 for the Red Sox during the regular season, with eight homers and 40 runs batted in.
Here comes Javier from his second base position to talk to Browse.
Four to two in favor of the Red Sox, who have put on an awesome display of home run power here today.
Javier plays Andrews straight away behind second base.
The pitch by Browse. Ground ball to Shannon. Holds the runner at second, throws to first.
He's out. Waslowski had the whole second. Here's Yastremski.
Somehow I have an idea that he's not going to get a chance to drive it around.
With first base open, there is no way that Mr. Yastremski will get a chance to swing that bat.
Yeah, they're going to walk him.
Oh, yes, Yastremski will be intentionally passed to bring up Ken Howson.
That'll put Red Sox runners at first and second with two away.
Howson, of course, a long ball threat, especially in this ballpark.
There would have been four of these home runs, though, I think Peewee would have been home runs anywhere, with the possible exception of Reggie Smiths, who went right down the right field line.
Because there would have been home runs practically any ballpark.
So here's Harrelson. Runners are at first and second.
The score is four to two.
The pressure now is on the Cardinals.
Two days in a row, they've had a chance to clinch the series.
They got beat Monday in St. Louis, and they're trailing here Wednesday in Boston.
Runners at first and second, two men are out.
The score, four to two, Boston, bottom of the fifth, and here's Ken Harrelson.
He's 0 for 2 today.
Riles off the stretch.
The pitch. Swung and he fouled it back.
Harrelson has made one notable change in his hitting.
He's begun to hit the ball where it's pitch rather than trying to pull everything.
And he feels he's made himself a better hitter by hitting outside pitches towards right field rather than trying to pull.
The crowd is alive. The Red Sox are winning.
Four to two on the bottom of the fifth.
The stretch by Brier.
The pitch to Ken Harrelson.
Low and outside.
It's evened up with a ball and a strike.
The Red Sox are turning the World Series into the same kind of a situation as a created in the American League pennant race.
More lives and nikes.
An admirable ball club, the way they bounce back at you.
One ball, one strike.
The pitch. Swung hard and he fouled back. Strike two.
I saw you wince on that cut, Peewee.
I don't believe that Brier's fooled Harrelson on that pitch right there.
He really had a vicious swing at it.
Two strikes and the ball.
Harrelson digs in.
There's Brier's looking back and now fires. The pitch. Popped up.
Sepeda drifting back. Javier calls for it though. In short right he has it to retire to side.
Harrelson popped to Javier. No runs. No hits. No errors. Two left.
And the score at the end, the five innings, Boston 4, St. Louis 2.
You notice how some infielders have the uncanny knack of always being right in front of the ball.
They're in position and they're on their toes and when the grounder comes they're right there to make the play.
Well you know, most defensive drivers have the same ability.
They know how to anticipate trouble and to be ready when it comes.
When winter comes, and it won't be long now, they get set for snow and icy roads with a set of new snow tires.
And the snow tires, many good drivers prefer, are B.F. Goodrich Trailmaker Silver Towns.
They're built of the toughest four ply nylon cord and have the deepest biting edges you can buy.
The Trailmaker tread is wide and deep. Sends you over icy roads with sure footed safety.
Trailmakers are quiet too. And they won't put you into the poor house either.
You can get your trailmakers for no money down.
And if you want steel safety studs, your B.F.G. dealer can handle that too.
So get in a position for winter right now.
Get Trailmaker Silver Town snow tires from your B.F. Goodrich store or dealer.
We're going to the top half of the sixth inning.
Harry Carey and I'm Pee-wee Reese bringing you today's game.
The Boston Red Sox out in front right now, they have hit four home runs.
They have four runs, five hits, and made one error.
The Cardinals, they trail, they have two runs on four hits, and they've made no errors.
And the first hitter is Roger Maris leading off for the Cardinals.
He's had a fine series, and the couple of fellows following him, Orlando Cepeda and Tim McArthur,
have not done too well, and I think that's one of the reasons the Cardinals are kind of lacking a little bit.
When you get out Cepeda and McArthur, you've done quite a job.
Harry?
Okay, it will be Maris leading it off.
He's had one out of two in this game, seven out of 21 in the series, which is a 333 mark.
He leads and runs about at in with six, so he has done his bit.
Had a fine season for the Cardinals, much better than the figures would indicate.
Nine homers, 55 runs batted in, hit 261, but he won many a ballgame for the Redbirds.
Now he leads off to six at Wasilewski's first pitch.
It's high and outside. Wasilewski is tall and ranging.
Wheels the ball, sidearm, into the left-handed batters.
Now Fitz Damaris, boy that one had something on it, but the wild one goes back to the screen.
Ball two. Two balls, no strikes.
Wasilewski, like all the other young Red Sox who have never been in the World Series,
impress you with their poise under fire.
Two balls, no strikes.
Here's a fellow whose name is not even on the World Series program here.
The pitch, outside, ball three.
Three balls, no strikes.
He hasn't walked anybody yet, and no Red Sox was walked except Yastremski intentionally.
Now the three-nothing pitch, way outside. He walked him, and here comes Cepeda.
And you keep wondering how long they'll be able to stop. Cha-cha.
Here comes Dick Williams out of the Red Sox.
Dugout, he's coming out slowly for you to give him.
Looks like John Wyatt out there.
Yeah, I saw Sal Magley, the pitching coach for the Red Sox, get up in the dugout over there,
and he gave the indication, like a big round man, that meant John Wyatt.
They always have some kind of a little signal for each pitcher in the bullpen.
John Wyatt throws pretty hard. He has kind of a sinking ball.
It's called a Vaseline or some kind of a pitch. That's a sinker we'll call it, Harry.
Dick Williams went out to talk to Wazlowski, probably to give John Wyatt a little bit more time to warm up.
Cepeda comes up. He fouled out to the third baseman, and he bounced out to the third baseman,
and never had a good cut either time.
A runner at first and nobody up.
The Cardinals trailing by two runs, four and a two.
Cepeda, who's had two out of 21 in the series, the pitch.
Swinton's trying to go to right field, and he fouls it back. One strike and no ball.
The last time Orlando was in the World Series was with the San Francisco Jerbs.
He had three out of 19 that time, so the opposition in the series has you so thoroughly scouted,
and they really pinpoint the key men in a batting order.
Maris at first base, nobody up.
Maris, a good baserunner, was stretched by Wazlowski.
The pitch to Cepeda. Swinton again trying to hit the right and fouled it out.
He had a good cut, but he's in the hole now, two strikes and nothing. McClarker will be up there next.
We're on the top of the sixth. Red Sox lead four to two.
As they really flex their muscles today with four home runs.
Petrocelli has hit two of them. Reggie Smith and Karla Stremski hit the others.
The Cardinals got their two runs in the third.
The pitch to Cepeda, high and inside. Two strikes and a ball.
The Cardinals got their runs after two are out after a leadoff double by Javier on successive singles by Brock, Flood, and Maris.
Cepeda has changed bats. Two strikes and a ball. The runner at first base is Maris.
Gary Wazlowski has just walked his first man.
Out of pitch, instead over to first, the runner is back.
Wazlowski is playing four. Walk one. He permitted four hits all in the third inning.
Four to two, the Red Sox out in front. Top of the sixth.
Wazlowski delivers. Inside again, ball two.
And the count evens. Two balls, two strikes.
It looks like that Cepeda has not been fooled on any pitches. He just can't seem to make contact.
Now, Orlando, he didn't just happen to get in a slump in the series. He was in a slump at the end of the season.
He went 10 for 62. He only batted 161 in the late season.
Two balls, two strikes. The pitch to Cepeda.
Top five. Short right field. Carlson coming in. Waiting for the ball. He's got it.
Wild up, driving it over his head with one hand as the wind carried it a little more than he thought.
So here is McCarver now. On this kind of a day, McCarver is a home run threat with the wind blowing towards right field.
He hit 14 during the regular season, which was his career high.
He, like Cepeda, is at trouble in the series. McCarver is two out of 18. Cepeda is two out of 21.
Make that two out of 22 now.
McCarver left-handed batter. Marist the runner at first.
Wazlowski's pitch. Way outside. One ball, no strikes.
Wazlowski's been moving that ball around. Has a good sinking fastball.
And he has himself a two-run lead as John Wyatt is still working in the bullpen for the Red Sox.
Time is called. Wazlowski regains his position on the rubber.
Mike Shannon will be the next cardinal batter.
The pitch to McCarver. Here it is. Outside, ball two. Two balls, no strikes.
Wazlowski, just watching him work, he would think he'd be far more effective against the right-handed hitter than the left-handed hitter,
because he's wheeling the ball into the left-hand hitter.
However, his sinker dips away. Rock has had one hit off him. Marist has had one.
So the left-hand hitters have had half the hits.
Now the stretch. The pitch. High ball three.
Three balls, no strikes on Tim McCarver. Mike Shannon will be coming up next.
The score, four to two Red Sox.
We're on the top of the sixth.
The three-nothing pitch.
Way wide, he walked him. That's two walks in this inning, issued by Wazlowski.
So the Cardinals have tying runners on at first and second, with one out, trailing four to two.
And Mike Shannon, who has hit one homer in this series, that in St. Louis, steps up to the plate.
No Cardinal has hit a homer on at Fenway Park yet.
A bright, sunshiny day. Boy, an artist couldn't draw a prettier picture than this day makes.
The sky, a blanket of azure blue, fleeced here and there with little white powder puff clouds.
The ballpark jam-packed, and the home team is leading.
So far it's a perfect picture in Boston.
Len Dillon, our director here, doesn't like to hear me wax poetic.
You described it perfectly, Harry.
Atta boy, Peewee, you're my pal. Runners at first and second, one out.
Shannon, nothing out of two so far. Hit the ball on the ground both times.
Fastball sinks low and outside. Here comes Dick Williams out of the hardsocks, dug out.
And he's walking. He wants a new pitcher. He's already motioned to the bullpen.
So Gary Wasilewski leaves the game, but with his team out in front.
And John Wyatt, the bullpen ace, or the Boston Red Sox, will be replacing him.
The spectators are already rising here. They're going to give Wasilewski a standing ovation.
He pitched five in the third inning.
And I believe this was the plan of manager Dick Williams.
I think he heard him observe that if he gets five, six, or seven good innings out of Wasilewski in this game,
with his team still in the contest or ahead, he'd be very, very happy.
And that's what he's got. His team's out in front four to two.
Wasilewski has pitched five in the third inning.
And the Red Sox are in a position to win this game if Wyatt can hold the card.
And that's exactly what Dick Williams said, and I heard Gary Wasilewski say the same thing.
Williams would start him and for him to go as long as he could and keep throwing just as hard as he could
and hope to get five or six innings out of him.
Wasilewski still had good stuff. He just got, I believe he's a little tired, and he got a little wow.
He had not walked a man until the sixth inning. He's now getting a standing ovation.
Well, that must be sweet music to a young man's ears after spending eight long years in the minor leagues
and suddenly finding himself projected into the spotlight at this sixth game of the World Series
presented.
And now it's up to John Wyatt.
Wyatt is appearing for the second time.
He had no decision. He pitched only two innings, set the Cardinals down, walked two,
fan one, allowed no hits. Veteran right-hander John Wyatt comes in.
Mike Shannon.
Wyatt is inheriting in one ball count.
Wyatt was with Kansas City for about six years or so, traded the Red Sox along with Roland Sheldon
and outfielder Jose Tarnable. The pitch to Shannon popped up.
On the infield is Pup Vaselli. Infield fly rolled in effect, he makes the catch anyhow.
Shannon on the first pitch popped to Pup Vaselli.
Wyatt, one-nine, lost six with an earned run average of 2.50. He's 32 years old.
You know, these Red Sox have made some key deals, and their general manager, Dick O'Connell, deserves a lot of credit.
Tarnable Wyatt, their ace in the bullpen, and they also have Tarnable,
who has helped them this year, started several games in this series.
They picked up Harrelson. It wasn't a trade. Invested a little money in this pay-off.
Here's Javier with runners at first and second and two out.
Right-hander, stockily built. The pitch is low on outside. Boy, he really wheels from the side.
Wyatt, a six-footer, weighs 200 pounds, 32 years old.
Waslowski would be the winner if Wyatt holds the Cardinals at this point for the rest of the game.
Waslowski has pitched the necessary five innings for a starter. Here's the pitch.
Bang! Slider hit the outside corner, and boy, he throws hard.
And I would imagine he's good and strong. He's only worked two innings in this series, which now is a week old.
One ball, one strike, two men are out. Top of the sixth. Red Sox out in front, four to two.
Javier waiting. He's at one out of two. And a pitch. One and a strike, two.
Wyatt has a peculiar spin of his body, which I would imagine would add to the distraction of the hitter who hasn't seen him often.
He sort of spins as if he's going to throw to second base before he delivers. Maris is at second base.
McCarver is at first base. Two men are out. Javier on the hole, two strikes and a ball.
Cardinals trailing by two runs.
There's a glance at second. The pitch. High pop ball back and out of play. Into the stands.
And the count stays the same. On that pitch, which again was to the outside part of the plate,
Javier tried to go with him towards the opposite field.
Harrelson plays Javier way around towards center field.
Two strikes and a ball. Wyatt got Shannon on the first pitch.
Javier leaning forward. Now gets into the batter's box.
Wants to make sure he gets time to get ready. Now Wyatt has his sign from Elston Howard.
Two strikes and a ball. The pitch. Oops! Barely missed with it.
And that evens it at two balls, two strikes. Who do you think this crowd's pulling for here today?
They groan every time it's a ball, and they roar every time it's a strike or a red sox hit.
And why not? That's the way it should be.
This is their ball club here. Two balls, two strikes. And what a year this ball team has provided for these fans.
Two-two pitch. Here it is. Ground ball towards short. Cut off by Foy. The throw is to first.
How is that a close play? A wild argument. How the air is all over the first base up by John Stevens.
He thought he had it beaten. Foy had a little trouble getting the ball out of his glove.
He wanted to throw to second and first realize he didn't have a play.
How the air did everything but beat it, but he's out on a close play.
No runs. No hits. No errors. Two left. And at the end, the five and a half innings.
The score is still Boston 4, St. Louis 2.
Now Pocahontas said, Dear Daddy, I'm off to see the Dodge Boy Sprint.
My captain's gotta have a charger, or I think he's gonna lose his head.
He got the fever, Dodge fever. With just one look at a shape he'd never seen.
Fever! From the charger, the one they call the clean machine.
He got the fever, Dodge fever. He got the fever, Dodge fever!
68 charger. A great new shape. A sports car feel. And a price that's been reduced this year by more than $100.
It's easy to see why charger has the highest sales increase in America.
Check it out at your Dodge dealers today.
Red Shandies has been out discussing heatedly with first base umpire John Stevens the play that ended the top of the sixth inning.
Red now has just returned to the Cardinal dugout.
You know, in a World Series Pee-wee, I guess at the honor of the Commissioner, there's not too much heat shown so far as arguing with an umpire.
And I think this is the most reaction I've yet witnessed. I believe it is, Harry.
Boy, cut over and had a hold on the ball, made a good play. He looked like he was going to second.
He looked up and saw McHarvey had the play, beat at second base, and took that little extra time to go to first base.
And I will say it was close.
Here's George Scott to lead it off against Nelson Browns.
Bottom of the sixth, first pitch, one foul back, strike one. One strike and no ball.
Nobody on and nobody out. Bottom of the sixth. The Red Sox out in front, 4-2 in a pressure ball game.
Because if they don't win, the World Series is over.
If they win this game, they have Lombard to go tomorrow.
Here's a carbon there, a strike call.
Two strikes and no ball.
George Scott, nothing out of two in this game.
Four out of 20 in the series.
Time is called as Javier adjusts his sunglasses.
Bright sunshine here.
Now Browns gets ready. Here's the pitch.
Bouncing ball back to Miles. He's got it. Throws over to first and fouls.
Browns, you know, has a pitching motion that throws him off the mound towards first base.
And many balls hit softly up the middle trick or throw for hits.
And that one almost did too, but he stabbed it back at it and turned completely around in throwing out George Scott.
Reggie Smith, who hit the homer that put the Red Sox into the lead of the fourth, steps up there.
His second home run of the World Series, by the way.
Brown ball to the second baseman. Big hop to Javier. Flips over to Sepeda and there's two away.
Go up, two down. And yes, Petra Selli, who has hit home runs on successive times at bat.
They outfield Shades, Petra Selli towards left field.
He's had three hits in this series. All have been against Hughes.
Swings and foul tips the first bit. He has driven in three runs in this series all against Hughes.
So imagine one pitcher that Rico Petra Selli will send a Christmas card this year.
Well, they do. The Cardinal, right-hander, who won the most games of any pitcher on the Cardinal staff, by the way, this year, 16.
Jack LeMabe is limbering up on the bullpen for the Cardinals.
Swung on, popped up. Javier glitzes down, moves the ball to the side, but Maras comes in to help him out and makes the catch.
Petra Selli pops to Maras and shot right, who realize that Javier had lost the ball in the sun and came in.
One, two, three, nothing across. The score at the end of six innings. Boston, four, St. Louis, two.
Now we're happy to present the worst person of the week. Our scouts have made their selection of worst person and your name is?
I'd rather not give it, you know, the awful things I've done.
Okay. Now you are a family man. Did your wife know how awful you were when you got married?
I was so inking of it when I refused to say I do at three different wedding ceremonies.
That's terrible. What are some of the latest dreadful things you've been doing?
Going to a department store wearing a carnation looking like a floor walker. People ask me directions, I send them to the wrong floor.
Despicable.
I like to drive on the turnpike in weekend traffic and purposely run out of gas in the middle lane. Then I get out of the car and just shrug a lot.
I've seen you.
The worst thing I do is to my own family. I hide the can of right guard just when they're all getting ready for a big night out.
They all share the right guard?
Well that's the beauty part of it. It's a spray, see? And they all use it. So I don't leave just one or two defenseless. I leave them all six defenseless.
You certainly are the worst person of the week.
Thank you. And another horrible thing I do is leave myself defenseless.
I know that.
Top half of seventh inning. St. Louis Cardinals two runs on four hits. The Boston Red Sox four runs on five hits.
Down match will be the first hitter. We have a new right fielder, Jose Tardibol.
Harry, all right, Pee-wee. Maxville is nothing out of two in this game. Two out of 14 in this series.
Tardibol has just been announced in right field as a defensive move by manager Dick Williams.
Orange Isle is present in the National League with Fred Flagg right below us. Here's a pitch swung on.
High five all the center will be an easy out. Reggie Smith is there and he has it.
Maxville for the second time flies deep to center field. That's one away.
And now Bobby Tolan is going to bat for Nelson Brown.
Brown's pitched two scoreless innings. Didn't allow any hits. Walk one intentionally and hit one.
Bobby Tolan batting for Nelson Brown as the Cardinals trail by two here in the seventh.
Wyatt's pitches a fastball low and outside. Tolan making his third appearance in a World Series game.
All this year, of course, he's hitless.
Now the pitch and it's a curve inside. Ball two. Blue Brock will be next.
Dick Hughes, who was beaten five to nothing by Jim Lomborg in the second game of the series, is the pitcher of records so far today.
Here's a pitch. Ball three low and outside. Bobby Tolan leading off batting here with one out batting for the pitcher Nelson Brown.
Blue Brock would be next. Joe Schultz coaching at third. Dick Sissler at first for the Cardinals.
Thirty-two-year-old veteran right-hander John Wynne looks down. The three-nothing pitch.
He walked him ball four on four pitches. So here's Brock coming up with a runner at first and one out.
The outfield shifts around towards left field for Brock.
Elston Howard. What an acquisition that was by the Red Sox.
His experience on Savoir Fair.
Many a World Series with the Yankees is certainly doing their young pitching staff a great deal of good in this World Series.
Gary Bell has started to warm up now for the Red Sox. Rock left-handed batter. The stretch. The pitch.
High fly ball. Deep right center. Way back. It might be out of here. It could be. It is a home run.
What a tremendous poke. High into the right center field stand.
And the horn you hear is from down in Gussie Bush's box. It was about the only Cardinal fans here.
The Cardinal owner and his family down there. And Lil Brock with a tremendous home run has tied this game up at 4-4.
There's his tenth hit of the series. Each team now has had four runs and five hits.
He has flung the pitch. Curveball inside. He's spun out of the way.
Rod now has driven in three runs, has scored seven. He's had ten hits.
Wyatt's pitch. Low fastball outside.
Here comes Dick Williams out. This was the Cardinal's first home run of the World Series in Fenway Park.
And that, Pee-wee, like I said about several of the Red Sox homers, would have been one in any ballpark in the world.
Hey, Lil Brock, the more I see of him, the more he amazes me. He's not a big man. Of course he's not too small.
He must be around 5'11". 175, 180 pounds. With all this tremendous speed that he has, he hit that ball in left center field.
And right center field. Must have been 40 rolls. Of course the wind helped it a little bit, but he does have tremendous power.
That he does. Here's the pitch to Flood. Strike called at the knee.
Brock, as a leadoff man for the Cardinals during a regular season, hit 21 home runs.
It's rare indeed when a leadoff man has that kind of home run power.
Game tied, 4-4. Here's the pitch to Flood.
Sliced foul out of play. Off to the right and the count is in. Two balls, two strikes.
Now both starting pitchers are off the hook. Gary Wasilewski no longer can be the winner of this game.
And Dick Hughes can no longer be the loser.
We've had five home runs in this game. Four by the red side.
Here's the pitch. All three is low on inside.
Three balls, two strikes. Roger Maras will be next.
John Wyatt, who got out of a jam in the sixth, has gotten into his own trouble here in the seventh.
On a walk to Tolan and a tremendous home run by Lou Brock.
Out of the pitch. Here it is.
Low pub fly, short center field. Reggie Smith almost falls down, but he makes the catch.
Run flies to Smith, who was he was running in. Almost slipped and fell, but caught the ball for the second out.
And here's Roger Maras.
We're tied 4-4 here on the top of the seventh.
The Red Sox have Gary Bell working in the bullpen, which would indicate they will pinch it for Wyatt in their seventh.
Wyatt will be the second batter coming up.
Here's Maras and Wyatt's pitch.
He was really pulling on that one, but bounces it foul into the Red Sox dugout behind first base.
Maras has had one homer that off the longboard in St. Louis Monday with two out on the ninth,
preventing longboard from registering his second straight shutout.
Although he did get his second straight victory.
The wind up on Wyatt for fifth. Popped up.
Low center field. Gaskremski coming over and Reggie Smith.
Smith takes it. Maras flies to Smith.
Two runs, one hit. No errors and nobody left.
And at the end of six and a half innings, it's all tied up. St. Louis 4, Boston 4.
Hi, honey. I'm home.
Hi. I'm upstairs. I'll be down in a minute.
Okay.
Have a good day?
Oh, yeah. Horrible.
Yeah. Lost your job again, huh?
Yeah, yeah.
I bought some new super king-size Winston cigarettes today. They're on the table in the hall.
In the golden red pack?
That's right. Great taste.
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?
Mmm. Twenty new cavities.
Ouch. Why we?
Mmm.
Well, I can't find the money.
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?
Mr. Frederick, are you in the wrong house again?
Tastes good.
It should.
It's winning style.
Jack LeMay will be the new Cardinal pitcher, and so let's pause here 30 seconds for station identification.
There's more to a World Series than the meeting of two great teams, just as there's more to a white owl than just smoke.
Take that white owl ranger. Stands tall in the box, slim and trim.
The ranger delivers mildness. But there's even more than that to a white owl ranger.
But we'll let you discover that for yourself.
Then you'll know why we say you get a lot more from a white owl than just smoke.
KMOX, KMOX FM, St. Louis.
With Pee Wee Reese, this is Harry Carrey at Fenway Park, Boston.
This game is tied up 4-4, and what a seesaw we've had here today.
The Red Sox on Pettigaselli's homer took a 1-0 lead in the second.
The Cardinals came back with 2 in the third to lead 2-1.
The Red Sox went home run crazy in the fourth with three home runs to take a 4-2 lead,
and then Lubelock at a home run with a man on in the Cardinal's seventh to tie it.
Jack LeMabe, who for two years was a member of the Red Sox, makes his home in Springfield, Massachusetts.
31-year-old right-hander. He won three, lost seven during the regular season.
He's making his third appearance of this series, and the first man he'll face will be Elston Howard.
John Wyatt kneeling in the on-back circle.
So, maybe he's going to hit for himself. Here's the pitch to Howard, and it's a curveball outside.
Elston Howard has had nothing out of two in this game. Two out of 14 in this series.
Ball game in the bottom of the seventh. Tied up 4-4.
Howard swings and fouls one into the stand. That evens it up. A ball and a strike.
Boy, it's been an exciting wall series, as the amazing Red Sox have pushed the Cardinals right to the limit.
Right-handed batter, Elston Howard waits. One ball, one strike. LeMabe's pitch.
Strike two called a fast ball. He had some mustard on that one, and the count, two strikes and a ball.
John Wyatt. Do it or be next. Cardinals have used four pitchers now.
The Red Sox, two. Howard steps out of the batter's box.
He's in the hole, two strikes and a ball.
The pitch. Curveball missed with an outside. And that evens it two balls, two strikes.
Howard was unhappy when he left the Yankees, but things turned out like roses for him.
Here he is in another world series. A pitch, foul back.
He was in nine of them with the Yankees.
He's had five home runs in world series play, and has hit 261.
The first time he ever bounded in a world series was against Don Newcomb.
Yankees stayed in, and he homered his first time at bat.
Two strikes, two balls, a pitch. Bouncing ball on might be tough play for somebody.
Here's Shannon throwing. In time, he almost collided with Maxville.
Boy, that was a slow dribbler, passed the mound, rolling toward shark.
Shannon and Maxville were both sprinting for the ball.
Shannon got there first, and still running, fired to Cepeda for the out.
And now we're going to have a pinch hitter coming out. Looks like Dalton Jones.
Dalton Jones, who has hit well in this series.
He's batted.353 with six hits. Dalton Jones will be the batter.
So we'll have a new Red Sox pitcher coming out in the eighth.
Cepeda comes in to talk to Jack LeMay. One out, nobody on.
The game tied. Jones had three homeless.25 runs batted in, hit.289 during the regular season.
A line drive hitter who hits the ball to all fields.
Here's the pitch by LeMay. Fastball outside.
And Jones wants the umpire to look at the baseball. He does and tosses in a new one.
The sun has gone into hiding at the moment.
The pitch to Dalton Jones had a good cut, and he fouled that.
One ball, one strike.
Boy, after a 162-game schedule, this might wind up with only one game deciding the championship.
Should the Red Sox win this one today, that's what the situation would be tomorrow.
The pitch to Jones, high outside. Two balls and a strike.
Joe Harner is working in the Cardinal bullpen.
A left-hander who is touched for a two-man homer by Yostremski in the second game of the series.
Here's the pitch. Line drive base hit right field. Dalton Jones single strike.
And the Red Sox have the lead run on at first base with one away as Joe Foy comes out.
That home run that Yostremski hit in the seventh inning of the second game was with two on and three run homer off Joe Harner.
Here's Foy. Nothing out of two in this game.
One out of ten in the series. Hit 16 homers during the regular season.
We're in the bottom of the seventh. No pitch by LeMay. Low outside.
One ball, no strikes. Dalton Jones delivered his seventh hit of the series.
A line single to the right.
Out of pitch. Line drive left field block coming over. Leakes can't get him off the wall.
Here's Jones got a chance to score. He's around third. His block's flowing.
Tours the plate. And safe. Foy winds up at third base.
Loughbrock gambled on the line drive off of that Foy as he raced to his right.
Leaked behind to the air. When he failed to make the catch he was in no position for the rebound.
The ball bounced toward center. He had to recover it. He's got a great arm and he threw strongly back towards the plate.
But it was too far up the line.
Let's see if we get a credit Foy with a double or triple. He is driven in a run that puts the Red Sox into the lead.
And that's going to be all here for all of the main.
It's a double for Foy driving in a run that gives the Red Sox a five to four lead.
With Mike Andrews, double for Foy driving in a run that gives the Red Sox a five to four lead.
With Mike Andrews going to be the hitter. We have Ray Washburn out on the bullpen along with Joe Harner.
I believe it's going to be a Harner.
On the double by Foy they give Brock an air on the throw. I thought perhaps he was headed for third base to take that base anyhow.
So Brock will get an air on that throw which was a strong throw but up the line towards first base from home plate.
When you play daringly there are some times you're going to fail. And Lou Brock has been a sensation in the series.
Play that one daringly as he raced over trying to make the catch rather than concede the hit off the wall.
And us, as a result of failing, let's pause here 30 seconds for station identification.
High fly ball, deep right field, into the corner Bobby Tolan.
He's got it! The Cardinals win the pennant! The Cardinals win the pennant!
Holy cow that was a night I'll never forget. The Redbirds clinched the pennant.
Best in the National League. And for the best popular price beer in America, clinch a cold glass of Bush.
Bush delivers all the satisfaction a cold glass of beer can give you. Bush, best popular price beer in America.
Moex Kmoex FM St. Louis.
Harry Carrey and Pee Wee Reese in an exciting ball game which finds the Red Sox now see-sawing back to the lead.
With one out Dalton Jones, a pinch hitter, lined to single right.
Joe Foy in a line drive towards the Green Monster, the scoreboard in left field.
Blue Brock racing at breakneck speed, leaf time to the air, couldn't reach the ball.
His momentum carried him away and it required him some time to recover.
Upon recovering the ball he fired towards the plate.
But Foy was safe and the throw got away, rather Jones was safe and when the throw got away Foy advanced to third.
Now Joe Horner comes in.
The Red Sox have had seven hits. Four of them have been homers and another one's been a double.
The infield comes in for the Cardinals.
With a play of the plate.
There's only one out.
Mike Andrews is headless in this game. Horner gets ready.
Here's the pitch. Strike called a fastball.
One strike and no ball. Maras plays a reasonably short right field against Andrews.
Joe Horner getting ready.
Here's the pitch inside a fastball.
And the count is even at a ball and a strike.
Foy represents an insurance run as the Red Sox already lead five to four.
Infield on the grass for the play of the plate.
Joe Horner a softball. Here's the pitch.
Foul out of play. Strike two.
Now we wondered when this wall would finally have some effect on a game.
I think this double by Foy was certainly one such instance because of the sharpness of the wall.
The left fielder always plays over towards center.
In a regular or a longer left field that ball as hard as it was hit would probably have been caught.
Two strikes and a ball. The pitch.
Line base hit. Left field.
Andrews drives in the sixth flat to the Red Sox. They have a two-run lead.
Here's Carl Yastremski now. Six to four in favor of the Red Sox.
Yastremski homered in the fourth off Hughes.
Here's Horner's pitch.
Ground ball headed for right field. Base hit.
Here's Andrews around second. Racing for third. He'll make it.
Yastremski singles to right. Andrews going to third.
Ball you never know about a World Series.
The Cardinals' biggest hitter during the season, Orlando Cepeda, has been completely stopped in this series.
The Cardinals' biggest winner during the regular season, Dick Hughes, has been knocked out twice.
And the Cardinals' finest relief pitcher all year long, Joe Horner, hasn't been able to get anybody out.
And here comes Red Shandy.
And that's going to be all for Horner.
Jose Tartabal will be the batter.
Let's see, they have Larry Jaster down in the bullpen along with Ray Washburn.
Jaster being a left-hander, Washburn a right-hander.
Well, this has been a hitter's day, Pee-wee.
Well, as we talked about before this game started, Harry, both of these ball clubs have a good hitting ball club.
They have good power.
I don't think either one of them has really shown it in the previous five games.
But here in the sixth game, it seems like they've gotten those bats a little unshackled a little bit,
and they're kind of racking these pitchers around.
Of course, if you mention two of the fellows that have not hit here in the sixth game,
it's hurt the Cardinals so much, Cepeda and McHarvey, and Kurt Flood hasn't hit too well either.
The Yastrowski's had a great series, and we've seen some real strong hitting here today.
In the setting, with one out, Dalton Jones a pinch hitter single.
Floyd doubled off the left field wall, scoring Jones, and when Brock's throw to the plate was wide,
Floyd took third.
That was all for Jack Linae who started this inning.
And then Joe Harner came in.
The first man he faced, Mike Andrews, a right-handed batter, singled in Floyd to make it 6-4.
The second batter he faced, Carl Dostremski, a left-handed batter, single right, sending Andrews the third.
And now Larry Jastr becomes the Cardinals' sixth pitcher.
The score, 6-4.
Jerry Adair is going to bat here for Jose Tarnable.
Adair being a right-handed batter.
This ballgame started on a hitting note when with two out in the second inning off the starting pitcher,
Dick Hughes, Rico Petrocelli-Homer.
They gave the Cardinals and the Red Sox a 1-0 lead over the Cardinals.
But then in the third, a double by Adair and base hits by Brock, Floyd, and Maris enabled the Cardinals to tie it to go ahead 2-1.
Then in the fourth inning, also off the start of Hughes, Yastremski, Reggie Smith, and Petrocelli all hit home runs to establish a World Series record
for home runs in one inning off one pitcher.
That gave the Red Sox a 4-2 lead.
Then in the seventh inning, with a man on, Lou Brock-Homer to tie it up at 4-4.
And here the Red Sox have taken the lead in the bottom of the seventh.
Jerry Adair with runners at first and third.
Adair in this series is hitting 125 with two out of 16.
So the Red Sox have used three men in the cleanup position.
Harrelson who started, Tardyball for whom Adair is pinch hitting.
Adair hit 273 during the regular season.
The pitch is a fastball low.
The Cardinal infield is playing half way.
Around short and second with one out, runners at first and third.
They want to get the double play if they can.
Adair from Tulsa.
Former basketball star at Oklahoma State.
Here's the pitch. Swung trying to hit the right field and he missed it.
6-4 in favor of Boston.
The Red Sox have hit four homers in this game. The Cardinals have hit one.
Now Jaster's pitch fouled out of play into the press box.
Looks like Milt Richmond got his hands on that one.
Jerry Adair with runners at first and third.
One out. Red Sox leading 6-4.
Jaster's pitch. Long drive center field.
Flood will get it but the run will score. There's the catch. Here comes the runner. A sacrifice fly.
Oh the Red Sox leading 7-4.
Adair drives in his first run of the series.
With a count of two strikes and a ball, a line to Flood in center field.
And Andrews tagged up and scored after the catch.
Here now is George Scott.
John Wyatt who allowed the two runs on Brock's homer that tied up the ball game would be the pitcher of record.
Here's a pitch high.
He went out for a pinch hitter in this inning when Dalton Jones batted for him in single right.
And that started it off.
Larry Jaster.
The sixth cardinal pitcher today.
He swung and he missed. He tried to stop. He had gone around.
That evens it up for the ball and a strike.
If the Red Sox win, it necessitates the seventh and final and decisive game of the World Series here tomorrow
with Bob Gibson for the Cardinals and Jim Lomborgue for the Red Sox.
However, will there have been a more dramatic setting in World Series history?
One-one pitch. He had a cut and he missed strike two.
Two strikes and a ball.
George Scott nothing out of three.
Four out of 21 in the series.
Yes, Strumsky who has now enjoyed two three-hit games in the series.
The pitch swung. Round ball.
Knoxville breaking the wrong way and the ball goes by him.
Knoxville was breaking to his right.
He must have lost the ball in the shirt of one of the fans
because the ball was hit right at him and he was breaking to the opposite way.
Pee-wee. Many a ground ball went toward you at shot stop.
What could have happened there?
All right, that's a good question.
Unless that ball hit something in the infield and kicked back to the right,
but he looked like just as soon as the ball was hit, he broke to his right
and the ball, if he'd have stayed right where he was, the ball would have come right to him.
Maybe you could lose the ball in the shirts, but today it's a little cool.
Most of the people have on dark clothing. I don't know, Harry.
It's funny, he moved as we related.
He moved to his right and the ball went to his left.
So it's a base hit for Scott.
And Reggie Smith, who has hit two home runs left-handed in the series,
now turns around to bat right-handed against Larry Jess.
Little pitch. And it's high.
One ball, no strikes.
The Cardinals have used Hughes, Willis, Brails, LaMabe, Harner, and Jaster.
Reggie Smith.
The pitch. Strike called at the knees.
And that evens in a ball and a strike.
Runners at first and second. Two men are on.
Three runs of score.
This is the second three-run inning that the Red Sox have had today.
The pitch. High pop-fly, short left center.
Hit by drop, everybody chasing it. Base hit.
Here's a one-run score.
Here's one throw towards the plate cutoff.
And Reggie Smith goes to second base.
The crowd roaring. No way of talking over them.
These fans are enjoying themselves today as the Red Sox now score four in the seventh.
And Larry Jaster's going to be taken out.
He faced three men, retired one of them. The other two hit safely.
Joe Harner faced two men, both got hits, both have scored.
His one-run average will soar astronomically as a result.
And this is the ninth man coming up.
Rico Petrocelli and all he's done today is hit two home runs. Two out of three.
The Cardinals putting into action their seventh pitcher of the afternoon.
You know, Peeway, I remember the 1964 World Series, the Cardinals leading Yankee Stadium,
had a three-game to two lead, and were coming back home to Bush Stadium, their old ballpark.
And everybody thought that they would wrap it up in that sixth game at home.
And the Yankees went on a home run barrage, reminiscent of what the Red Sox have done here today,
and pounded the Cardinals badly, forcing the decisive game, which Bob Gibson then pitched for the victory.
But that was at home.
If they go into, if they have to go into a seventh game here tomorrow,
they'll be at a Fenway Park that has not yet been too friendly toward them.
Well, hey, of course you have one thing, or so we say the Cardinals have one thing going for them tomorrow.
Of course, so does the Red Sox. But Gibson, in his two starts against this ball club,
looks to me like he's just overpowered them.
Now, he's going to have one more day rest than Jim Lombard, who has pitched terrific ball against the Cardinals.
The one thing that kind of concerns me about the Cardinal ball club,
they don't look like the champions here today. Of course, this happens to ball clubs.
And their bullpen has looked like it's been very weak today.
They've had trouble getting that one man out.
And I know that winning that national league by ten and a half games,
or whatever they wanted by, I'm sure that their bullpen was much stronger throughout the year.
There's Rico Petroselli to face Ray Washburn.
And they're going to walk him intentionally to get to Elston Howard.
So the bases will be loaded, and the tenth man in the inning,
Elston Howard, who started it all by bouncing out to Shannon,
will be coming up again with the bases loaded.
Howard, you know, accounted for the insurance runs in the Monday game
in a similar situation when he popped a single or short right.
Bases are loaded. Four runs are in.
Two men are out, and Elston Howard is a batter.
Ray Washburn lines. Curveball high and inside.
This is the seventh pitcher.
We're in the bottom of the seventh.
Here's a pitch swung and missed, the curveball.
The Red Sox are leading eight to four.
They've had 11 hits, eight runs, four home runs.
The Cardinals four runs on five hits.
The pitch, bouncing ball to Shannon. Big hop, he's got it.
Rose to first, the inning is open.
But four runs scored. Six hits, one error, three left.
And at the end of the seventh inning, the Red Sox eight, the Cardinals four.
Well, we have a new right fielder in George Thomas taking over for Jose Tardubo.
We have a new pitcher, Gary Bell.
And talking about pitching, the four pitchers used by the Cards in that last inning ties a series record.
Seemed like there's a lot of series records being tied today.
And another thing, in the second game of the 1960s series, Elson Howard got two hits in one inning, a triple in a single.
In this last inning, he started out by grounding out the inning by grounding out to the third baseman,
and he entered the inning by grounding out to the third baseman. He made two outs in that inning.
They say by baseball, if you stick around long enough, Pee-wee, you'll see everything.
And Elson Howard, who in one World Series got two hits in one inning, and another one makes two outs in one inning.
And Gary Bell is the new pitcher on the outside.
Top of the eighth, Sepeda leads it off, eight to four Red Sox.
Bell's first pitch is a high inside fastball.
Bell's appearing in his third game. He started one, he relieved in one.
He lost the game he started.
Shannon hit a two-run homer off of him in that game.
Here's the pitch on the way to Sepeda.
Oh, and he missed it.
And the count evens it about on a strike.
Sepeda with nothing out of three today.
This is the fourth game out of the six that he's been hit with since.
He's driven in one run. He hasn't hit any homers.
He's two out of 22.
Fouled it back and out of play, and he's in the hole. Two strikes and a ball.
And Pee-wee, whenever a guy's in a little bit of a slump, no matter who it is,
it always seems like every time you look up, he's got two strikes on him.
Yeah, it certainly does.
The only way to get that pitcher a little convo is just get it over.
He won't hit it.
But as I said before, it looks like, you know, if the pitcher was throwing him a curveball
and making him look bad, you'd say, well, this fellow's timing is completely off.
But he's having a very good cut at the ball, staying with it on the ball,
but all he's doing is popping up, just not quite getting it, or he's fouling the ball off.
Top of the eighth, eight to four in favor of Boston.
And Gary Bell winds. Here's the pitch.
He didn't mean to swing, a little tap over the pitcher's head.
In fast, the second baseman can't make a play.
It's a hit for Cepeda.
On a little roller, over the pitcher's head.
Andrews came charging in, but the only possible play he would have had is
if he could have picked the ball up barehanded, which he didn't do.
So it's a scratch hit to start the eighth.
And here's McCarver, like Cepeda, in a slump in the series, two out of 18.
You have to admire Cepeda. He gets down first base.
This is a real cheap hit he just gets, but he hasn't lost his spirit.
He's hollering to McCarver, giving him the fifth. He says, come on, let's go, let's go.
That's great.
So we have Red Sox leading eight to four.
Here's a pitch to McCarver, swung on it foul.
The Cardinals have a runner at first base with nobody out in the eighth.
Eight to four, Boston.
Activity out there, and the Red Sox bullpen.
A left-hander, the only left-hander they have is the 19-year-old youngster Brett, Ken Brett.
So he's working out there.
McCarver with a counter strike one.
Here's a pitch. Curveball inside, evens it up.
One ball, one strike. Gary Bell.
From San Antonio, Texas.
Cepeda, a safe lead. Scott plays back. Here's a pitch.
Fly ball on the left field, going back, back is Jastriewski near the wall.
One-handed tap. Beautiful play.
Paul Jastriewski ran almost into center field.
McCarver's long drive and hauled it in with one hand over his shoulder.
And Dick Williams now, the manager of the Red Sox, comes out to talk to Gary Bell.
That ball was really hit.
You know, there's an example, P.W. of what I was referring to with Lou Brock on the double-by-four.
Every left fielder in this ballpark, because of the short distance down the line, plays far over, abnormally over towards center field.
Now, there's a play ordinarily as an extra base hit.
But because Jastriewski starts off playing towards center, he's able to reach the ball.
And Brock, by contrast, playing over towards center field, couldn't reach a ball that was hit to his right in what normally would be his position.
So there are peculiarities presenting themselves as a result of the construction of the ballpark.
Here's Shannon. The curve is low.
Shannon Homer off Bell in St. Louis.
He's nothing out of three in this contest.
One out, one on, the ball game in the eighth.
Bell's pitch. Swung and he missed the fastball.
That evens out a ball and a strike.
The Cardinals have had four runs on six hits. The Red Sox have made eight runs with 11 hits.
And four of those 11 hits have been home runs.
Three of them in one inning.
Shannon swings a fly ball to left center. Jastriewski chasing this one.
So's Reggie Smith. Off the wall.
There's Sepeta going in the third and Shannon the second with a double.
Ooh, that Reggie Smith picked the ball up at the 379 mark and threw it into second base on the fly.
Shannon has doubled off the 379 mark.
And here's Javier.
After Sepeta's scratch hit, McClough had a line drive that Jastriewski made a fine play on.
And Shannon bang went off the left center field wall.
Here's Javier.
Runners at second and third.
Javier one out of three in the game.
Gary Bell's pitch.
Line drive to the third base would turn out.
Javier lined hard to find.
That's two gone and here's Maxwell.
Gary Bell isn't exactly pulling up here in this inning, but he's pitching strong as ball.
Runners are at second and third with two out.
Maxwell nothing out of three in the contest.
Two out of 15 in the series.
Time is being called for Ray Washburn, the pitcher, to come out on the on deck circle.
That's one of baseball's technicalities.
The next hitter must be kneeling in the on deck circle.
Here's Bell's pitch to Maxwell.
Fastball is high.
One ball, no strikes, two out.
Runners at second and third.
The score, Boston 8, St. Louis 4.
Maxwell.
Waits and Gary Bell's pitch.
He held up ball two.
He didn't go around on the curve ball.
And the Red Sox walk about that one.
Elston Howard, rolling around to talk to Paul Pryor.
Two balls, no strikes.
The pitcher, Ray Washburn, would be next.
Now the signal.
Here's the pitch.
Strike call to fastball.
Hal Woodishick, veteran left-hander who started in the American League,
is now warming up on the bullpen for the card.
Two balls and a strike.
Maxwell the hitter.
Here's the pitch.
One lead, a strike two.
And Bell is caught up now at two balls, two strikes.
Gary Bell comes in protecting a four-run lead.
The pitcher of record right now is Wyatt.
For the Red Sox and LeMabe, a former Red Sox by the way, for the Cardinals.
Gary Bell's 2-2 pitch to Dyle Maxwell.
High pump foul back and out of play.
There are two men out, runners at second and third.
We're in the top of the eighth.
A wild ball game today.
In which the Red Sox are leading 8-4.
Two balls, two strikes, two out, two on.
Gary Bell is ready.
The pitch to Maxwell.
Here it is.
Ball three.
And the count is full.
And if he walks him, it would bring up the tying run.
Whomever it might be, it won't be Washburn who is scheduled next.
Three balls, two strikes on Dyle Maxwell.
Gary Bell's pitch.
Almost hits the ball.
Four, the bases are loaded.
Boy, I tell you, Peewee, no runner scored yet.
The bases are loaded and two shots were hit that were caught.
This could have been some inning for the Cardinals.
Certainly could.
Of course, Sepadak started things off here with kind of a cheap hit.
But then Maserowski made a great play in left field to retire McHarver.
And Shannon got a line drive double off the wall out in left center.
Javier had a line drive.
Boy, I would say that Bell is not exactly fool hitters.
But he got himself in a jam here by walking down Maxwell to shortstop and brings a tying run to the plate.
And Harry, I imagine, I'm not sure, you know more about this than I do, Dave Ricketts may be the hitter.
KMOX and KMOX FM, St. Louis.
Well, Dave is just coming out of the bullpen. He's a switch hitter.
So if he's employed, it won't make any difference who the pitcher is.
He would have that percentage of hitting either right-handed against a left-hander, who's warming up in the bullpen, Ken Brett,
or left-handed against a right-hander, who's Gary Bell.
Dave Ricketts it will be.
Ricketts in this series has been the bat twice, nothing out of two.
The bases are loaded, so Ricketts represents the tying run.
But more than that, Peewee, is the fact that Lou Brock would be next.
And he's had quite a day. He's batted in three runs, and they struck him out.
It looked like they had the solution the first time he got up.
Then things begin to happen with Brock, and he makes things happen.
So Dave Ricketts steps up, hit one home run during the regular season.
The outfield plays him straight away.
Yes, Stramsky's great catch on McCarver's line drive is a big play in this inning.
Bases are loaded, two men are out.
Gary Bell into the windup. The pitch today Ricketts swings, and he fouls it back and out of play.
One strike, no ball.
We're in the top of the eighth in the most eventful ball game of the whole series.
The emphasis has been on muscle today, not pitching.
It's brute strength not finesse this afternoon.
Eight to four, Red Sox. The pitch to Ricketts.
Inside a slider, barely missed.
And the count is evened up in a ball and a strike.
Two men are out. Maxville's at first, Shannon at second, Sepade at third.
The score eight to four, Boston.
The Cardinals will tie another record today.
In the bottom of the eighth, their new pitcher will be the Eighth U's.
And that ties the series record.
Here's the pitch to Ricketts.
High fly ball to the left field, and Stramsky's back waiting.
He's got it for a tie to sign.
The score was no run. Two hits, no errors, three left.
The Cardinals have stranded eight.
And at the end of seven and a half innings, the score, Boston eight, St. Louis four.
By going in, about a half the eighth and eight, the Cardinals will have one more chance
to get back in this ball game they trail by a score of eight to four.
The Cardinals have four runs on seven hits.
The Boston Red Sox have eight runs on eleven hits.
Hal Woodishick enters the ball game as the eighth pitcher for the Cardinals,
and that ties the World Series record.
Set by Cincinnati against the Yankees in 1961.
George Thomas will lead it on.
Came in to play right field.
Right handed batter.
A pitch by Woodishick, swung and fouled back.
Thomas making his second appearance.
Second time, his first time he pinch hit was retired, striking out.
We're in the bottom of the eighth.
Here's the fifth.
Bouncing ball to Maxville.
Big hop, he's got it, throws to first.
End time.
And here is Joe Foy, the third baseman.
He got that big double in the seventh inning.
It started things rolling for the Red Sox.
Now the Red Sox, eleven hits, four of them homers, one's been a double.
The other singles, of course.
Bouncing ball right back to Woodishick.
Flips over to first.
In making the soft lob, he almost threw it away.
Two men gone.
Here's Mike Andrews.
He had a big hit in the seventh inning.
Every hit the Red Sox have had today has been a big hit.
Yastrowski had three out of four in the second game of the World Series,
and he's had three out of three in this, the sixth game.
Andrews hits a bouncing ball behind second base.
Maxville can't come up with it.
It'll be a base hit.
A high hopper over the middle.
It's a hit for Andrews.
It gives him two off.
Listen to the hand for Yastrowski.
Standing ovation.
Here's Carl Yastrowski with a runner first, two on.
Woodishick's pitch.
Ground ball up the middle.
Hot air to his right.
Up to the wall throwing to second just in time.
He could never have gotten Yastrowski.
So it is no runs, one hit.
No errors, one left.
The Red Sox have stranded seventh.
And at the end of eighth is Boston eighth, St. Louis fourth.
Okay, Peewee.
Lou Brock steps up there, and your turn at the microphone.
Okay, Harry, Lou Brock.
First pitch for Gary Bell.
Hit high out on the right field.
That ball is going way back to the wind.
May take it out of here.
Look out.
Thomas right back up against that fence.
Put his hand on top of the fence, ready to jump.
But it came right down to him as Lou Brock almost had his second home run of the day.
Yards Thomas got back to that fence.
Put his hand up on top of the rail, ready to leap in the air.
But the ball came right down in his glove, so it's one away.
And that brings up Kurt Flood.
Kurt, one for four.
Got a base hit in the third inning.
Gary Bell's first pitch to him inside, ball one.
One ball, no strikes.
One away.
Kurt Flood the hitter.
Gary Bell doesn't wind up.
Here's the pitch to Kurt.
Ball hit right back to the middle.
Mike Andrews over, pummels the ball.
The throw to Scott.
They got it.
The ball was hit pretty hard right back through the middle.
Andrews to his right, braced that foot, hit in his glove.
He could not pick it up right away, but he still had enough on it to throw a foot out
at first base, so it's two away.
Roger Maris, there's a hitter.
Gary Bell under the windup.
Fastball is outside.
Ball one.
Roger Maris struck out, single, walked and flied out.
Elson Howard giving the signs.
Gary Bell under the windup.
Fastball hit off out of the left field.
Could be in there for a base hit, but he cannot catch up with it.
Fair-handed.
He finally slaps it and knocks it down.
Roger Maris, he's got it.
He's got it.
Solcepeda gets another chance.
The last time up, he tried to check his swing on a breaking pitch by Bell.
Andrews came in fast.
It was a slow hit ball.
Could not go Cepeda out, and he got himself a base hit.
So the Cardinals hopes are still alive.
Bell's pitched to Cepeda. There goes the ball on the left field.
It may go foul. It's a foul ball.
It would have been a home run down that left field line by Cepeda, but it was just foul.
That's what happens. Now he's hit some balls right in the nose right at somebody.
He hits this one a mile, but just barely fouled.
Orlando just a little bit out in front of that curve ball of Gary Bell.
Bell shakes his head to Elston Howard.
He looks over to Roger Maris at first base.
The pitch to Cepeda.
Little tap. Bell should have it. He has it.
The throw to Scott. That's off to Cepeda.
And that's all for the Cardinals here.
The top half of the ninth inning.
No runs. One hit. No air. One man left on base.
So the score. And that's the final score.
The Stantler's Cardinals four and the Boston Red Sox eight.
