00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
On September 30th, 1954, the Cleveland Indians faced the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds for Game 2 of the 1954 World Series.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:24,000
The Giants led the best of seven series, one game to none, and this is the mutual radio broadcast of Game 2 featuring announcers Al Helfer and Jimmy Deadley.

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The Gillette Cavalcade of Sports is on the air.

5
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Good afternoon baseball fans. This is Al Helfer greeting you from the Polo Grounds in New York, where the Cleveland Indians and New York Giants soon will take the field for the second game of the 1954 World Series.

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Once again, your host is the Gillette Safety Razor Company, which takes pleasure in bringing you this and other great sporting events such as the Football Bowl games and Triple Crown of Racing as our way of saying thank you for using Gillette products.

7
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And now for a special pregame treat, we turn the microphone over to a distinguished member of Baseball's Hall of Fame, Frankie Frisch.

8
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Frankie's down in the clubhouse, all set to interview Dusty Rhodes and Vic Wirtz. Come in, Frankie Frisch.

9
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Good afternoon, friends. Well, it was quite a ball game yesterday. I've been in a lot of World Series games, but that ball game yesterday was a dandy, and nobody left the ballpark until my guest, Dusty Rhodes.

10
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Oh, Frank.

11
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
How are you, Dusty? Hey, what'd you hit off, Bob Lemon? What was that pitch?

12
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
It was a curveball, Frank.

13
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Well, did you hit against him before? Well, only once. It was two years ago, I think it was.

14
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
What happened?

15
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
I was called out on strikes.

16
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Wait a minute, you were called out on strikes? What'd you do, take three?

17
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Took all three of them.

18
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Well, how'd you feel yesterday walking up the plate?

19
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Well, I used to think you'd been in a lot of these games. I was a little nervous.

20
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:36,000
You're not kidding. The old Flash was really nervous. I mean, did you walk up the plate and say, well, Mr. Lemon, whatever you throw, old Dusty's going to cut and slash, and if it goes, it goes.

21
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Where was the pitch, Dusty? High or low? It was low below the belt, away from it.

22
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Look, have you changed your stance since you've been in the Polar Browns? We hear so much, they say, oh, that right field fence is short, the left field fence is short.

23
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:59,000
And I was very much interested in what Bobby Fowler said the other day. He said, now look, we had, he's talking about the Cleveland Club, he said we had a lot of chances to hit the ball up in the seats, but we just didn't do it.

24
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:09,000
And the Roach came up and pulled one and there went the ball game. How was it? Well, Frank, I had the same stance as I broke in baseball in 1947. I haven't changed a bit.

25
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:17,000
You're still, you're almost been a pool hitter, right? Always. And Leo sent you up in the right spot. He said, grab a bet you're hitting.

26
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000
You didn't feel any nervous, any nervousness, huh? No. Hey, Dusty, where's your hometown?

27
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I think I was born in a little town out in Montgomery, Alabama, Matthews, and I'm staying in Rock Hill, South Carolina now.

28
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Hey, did you ever play in that Montgomery ballpark? No, I never did. I saw a Babe Ruth hit one. You know the embankment? They have an embankment out there in left field. It runs from the left field foul line to around the center field.

29
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:48,000
And I saw the three outfielders standing up on that bank and Roach hit one in that Montgomery ballpark and the three outfielders looked like mountain goats chasing his ball and Roach hit.

30
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Babe, Babe could have had three home runs on it, but he just, you know, lobbed around the bases and he had a laugh at those three outfielders up and down that.

31
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
I was in Cranston Bowl, wasn't it Frank? Hey, you hit the name right on the head. That was it.

32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Say, Dusty, I was very much interested in that ball game yesterday. I got a great kick out of it. What was the most interesting play to you yesterday?

33
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Well, I thought, Frank, that Catcha Willamette out in Sunnifield with a couple of men on. Oh, that was a terrific play and it saved the ball game. It did.

34
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Say, the fellow, he, I thought he was going right up in the center field seats. Never stop. He has no fair offenses. No. Great catch.

35
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:35,000
I'd like to have you take this new Gillette one piece razor set. Now look, back here, this is what I'm interested in. This 1954 Gillette World Series record book.

36
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Hey, you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of that. And say, fans, I'd just like to say a few words to the fans listening in.

37
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Your favorite store has a special World Series package, razor and book, both for the price of the razor alone. And continued success in this series and keep whacking them.

38
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Thank you Frank, I'll always do this. Okay, thanks, Vicki.

39
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
And our next guest is a fellow that had a terrific day, Vic Wirtz. Vic, nice to have you on our Gillette program.

40
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
The pleasure to be here, Frankie. Say, what do you got there, young man?

41
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:19,000
This is what is known as a shin guard and, uh, claved my leg quite a bit in my instep also. I have a bad habit of hitting myself in the leg with a foul tip off the bat.

42
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Oh, in other words, while you're up hitting and during the game, when you cut at that ball, the foul tip's whacking and they hurt, don't they?

43
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
And they really hurt, believe me. So that's the reason for this.

44
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Can we get a picture? I want to see how Vic puts that on. Now, which foot is it?

45
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:42,000
On the right foot is my front foot being a left-hand hitter. And it goes on exactly like that with the strap coming around the bottom of the foot. That's all there really is to it.

46
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Now listen, did you have any trouble with that shin guard yesterday and running the bases?

47
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,000
I had a little difficulty, pardon me, on the ball that I hit the right field. Mueller made a throw in the first base.

48
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:59,000
And of course I hurried back to the bag. And when I hit the bag, it was a wild throw. This, uh, snapped unbuckled.

49
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,000
When I came in the second base, it was flopping around on my foot. So instead of going to third, I had to stay second.

50
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,000
You'll have to get some way of flipping that thing off going down to play space tonight. That might have cost the ball game, right?

51
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000
It could have cost the ball game. And today I'm thinking about leaving it off for the first time in two or three years.

52
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Well, now listen, how many hits yesterday, Mr. Wirtz?

53
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Well, I, uh, I'll have to figure a little bit. I think it was four, wasn't it?

54
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Hey, you know we all, anybody who's ever played the ball game, we always remember those hits.

55
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
We never remember the strikeouts, right?

56
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Never remember the strikeouts.

57
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:36,000
And I still think the hardest ball hit in that ball game went foul. And that's the ball you hit, a left-hand hitter, hitting to the opposite field.

58
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,000
That ball was really smack, the one you hit up against the scoreboard in left field. What pitch was that?

59
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,000
It was a fast ball, high and away, Frank, and I had to go to left field. Uh, it was away from me. I couldn't try to pull it, so I just tried to slap at the ball.

60
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
See, the Giants will have to learn how to pitch to you.

61
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
I hope they don't learn for the next six games.

62
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Well, you hit most everything, didn't you? Fast ball, K ball?

63
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
I think every assortment they had.

64
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
They tried, I think they tried everything. I even thought they threw a couple of sliders up there.

65
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
I hit a slider, I hit a curve.

66
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Silvik, I got a little gift for you. I know you'll enjoy this. It's a Gillette razor.

67
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
This is very familiar. I already have one, Frankie, but I can always use another one.

68
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Hey, the old flash, use them in the morning.

69
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Yes, sir. See, I use them too.

70
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,000
I get a kick out of it. And what I like about it, and I'm going to keep talking about it because I get a kick out of it.

71
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
It's the 1954 World Series record book.

72
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:34,000
And fans, I hope you'll take the old flash's advice and get yours right now, because last year, oh, we had a little tough time.

73
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
We run out of them, and we've got to get them right now. Don't wait.

74
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Vic Rich, thanks kindly for being with us.

75
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Thank you, Frankie.

76
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Well, fans, it's time to wind up our clubhouse interviews for this afternoon, and now we're going up to the broadcasting booth. Thank you kindly.

77
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Good evening. We're ready for the second game of the 1954 World Series between the Cleveland Indians and the New York Giants.

78
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,000
And the broadcast this afternoon is authorized under the broadcasting rights granted by the Commissioner of Baseball, solely for the entertainment of our listening audience.

79
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:09,000
And any publication, rebroadcast, or other use of the descriptions or accounts of this game without the express consent of the Commissioner is prohibited.

80
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Well, ladies and gentlemen, before the lineup is going to be given to you, I should like to say that due to a special presentation made by the Defense Department here yesterday,

81
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
and the stepping up of the time schedule in order that the field could be cleared in time for the beginning of the ballgame,

82
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
we were unable to bring you the singing of the Star-Spangled Banner from this ballpark.

83
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,000
However, from today on, throughout the rest of the series, we shall be proud to bring to all our national anthem.

84
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
And now here are the starting lineup for this afternoon's ballgame for the Cleveland Indians.

85
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Leading off will be Al Smith in left field. Hitting number two will be Bobby Avila at second base.

86
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
The number three hitter in the order will be Larry Dolby in center field.

87
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Followed by the number four hitter Al Rosen in center field.

88
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Or rather, Al Rosen at third base. Then comes Victor Wirtz at first base.

89
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Wally Westlake will be in right field in place of Dave Philly today.

90
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
He'll hit in the number six position.

91
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Strickland in the short stop. Higgin the catcher.

92
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
And early win will be the pitcher. He has won 23 and 11 with three shutouts this year.

93
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Ladies and gentlemen, Barry Como and our national anthem.

94
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave

95
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:33,000
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

96
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave

Hey, dig these taps into four times, you guys and thals should rave

210
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:27,000
We look sharp too, cause we just had a supergillent shave

211
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:34,000
When you are beat, a bath slick shave gives you a charge you see

212
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Say I could dance my shoes right off, Gillette Shaves are for me

213
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:46,000
You look sharp, yes you're very best to feel sharp

214
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
All the live long day just be sharp

215
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:57,000
And skin whiskers off in the quick refreshing Gillette way

216
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:13,000
While the supply lasts, you get the new Gillette World Series record book free with the Gillette Super Speed Racer Set. Pick up your copy and time for tomorrow's game.

217
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Back at the Polo Grounds in New York, going into the last half of the second inning, Willie Mays will lead off for the Giants, with the Indians leading by a score of 1-0.

218
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Mays batted 345 to win the National League Batting Crown, and in yesterday's ballgame was up three times without a hit.

219
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Right hand batter, wins first pitch to him is ball one high and inside.

220
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Win is 117 or more ballgames every season since joining the Indians in December of 1948.

221
00:41:52,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Second year that he has won 23. Next pitch to Mays is fouled back to the screen out of play and the count is even up, ball one and strike one.

222
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Win is a tough pitcher, possessing a good fastball, curve, and the knuckler are what he terms the fingertip pitch. Works the same way that a knuckleball pitch does, but he throws it with the fingertips.

223
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:29,000
The one and one pitch is ball two outside, a curveball breaking away, the count two and one.

224
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:39,000
He's not a fast worker, takes plenty of time in between each pitch, always studying his batter. The outfielders are deep, straight away but far back.

225
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Here's the windup in the two-one pitch, Mays backs off from ball three high and inside, the count is now three and one.

226
00:42:50,000 --> 00:43:03,000
The line center fielder looking down to Herman Franks coaching at third, leading off here in the last half of the second inning. On deck is Henry Thompson.

227
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Just as wind started his windup, Mays stepped out.

228
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,000
One and nothing ballgame with the Indians in front, last half of the second.

229
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Now in his end of the windup, the three-one pitch, swung on and a flatball is hit into right field, high and far but plenty of room for Westlake. Under it now, he has it.

230
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Brought number one, run away.

231
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:33,000
That brings up number 16, Hank Thompson, the third baseman.

232
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Thompson batted 263 during the regular season and won out of three yesterday.

233
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:44,000
Giving him a good start of 333 in World Series play.

234
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:56,000
As Bobby Avila said the other day when somebody was asking about his hitting during the regular season, he said, that's all over now, we all start even, the World Series.

235
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Egan out with a few words for his pitcher, now back in possession.

236
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Went out and nobody on in the last half of the second inning. The outfield pulling around toward right as Thompson steps in, a left-hand batter.

237
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,000
First pitch to Thompson is a strike, a fastball working to the outside corner waist-high.

238
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Strike one.

239
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Playing Thompson to pull, Strickland almost over the second base.

240
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:34,000
Next pitch is way high with a knuckleball and it is now ball one and strike one.

241
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Occasionally, that pitch will get away from the best of them.

242
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:51,000
Gwynn takes that slow rocking windup of his. The next pitch is ball two, a fastball high and inside. Turn one to count.

243
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:58,000
Bobby Avila, the second baseman, has moved midway now between first and second, deep to the edge of the outfield grass.

244
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Words covering close to the line with a count two and one.

245
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Here's the pitch, swung on and a fly ball is hit out into left center, moving over fast as Al Smith. Under it now, he makes the catch.

246
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:17,000
We're at number two, Thompson fried to Al Smith in left center.

247
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Coming up is number twenty, Monte Irvin. Here's a boy that hit.458 in the 1951 World Series, as the Gillette World Series record book shows.

248
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Coming through this little book, you get a great deal of information.

249
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Irvin steps in a right-hand body, crouches over. First pitch is a strike, fastball, letter high.

250
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Irvin left fielder, 0 for 3, looking for his first hit.

251
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Two out and nobody on. The next pitch is strike two with a curve.

252
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:07,000
Irvin steps out, a little bit surprised as that ball exploded away from him, but caught the corner. Going to the count.

253
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:15,000
And the next pitch is strike three, called with a curveball, letter high. Again, he leaned away from the plate. He's called it on strikes.

254
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:23,000
There is Wim's first strikeout of the game. And for the Giants in the second, no runs, no hits, nothing across.

255
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:31,000
At the end of two, the score is Cleveland 1, New York nothing.

256
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:39,000
And now we pause 10 seconds for station identification. This is Mutual, the radio network for all America.

257
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:51,000
This is WGN Chicago, the Chicago Tribune station, your exclusive World Series station.

258
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Back at the Polo Grounds in New York City, the second game of the 1954 World Series.

259
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:05,000
Now I understand that in moving to Cleveland tomorrow, that they are expecting a crowd between 75 and 80,000 for the third game of the World Series.

260
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Well, I know this much, Jimmy, that if it's anything like that New York series, New York Yankee Cleveland series we had out there with you fellas,

261
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:19,000
just before the decision was made on the American League planet, we can expect even more than that.

262
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:27,000
Many people have said that it will probably be a record crowd for not only World Series, but also to ever see a baseball game. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised, that might be right.

263
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:31,000
Well, depending on the weather, they have a good chance of setting a new record, Al.

264
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:37,000
And it's a great deal of pleasure and gives us a great deal of pride to be able to sit with the fans on the World Series.

265
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:43,000
We wish that more could see them. However, we hope that you folks all around the world are enjoying our reports.

266
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:49,000
All right, in the first of the third, it'll be Larry Doby leading off. Left-hand batter was called out on strikes in the first inning.

267
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:57,000
First pitch to him as ball went outside.

268
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:03,000
Ball on the count on Larry Doby, Indian center fielder.

269
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,000
The sun is still trying to break through occasionally, looks down on us.

270
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Here's the windup. The next pitch is ball two, high and inside.

271
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:26,000
Watching this youngster, Antonelli, you can't help but feel that he's a little bit nervous, as undoubtedly all of the boys were in the first game yesterday.

272
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:31,000
The turn-up in pitch. Doby swings and he misses a fastball.

273
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:38,000
He figured right, but Antonelli fired it by. The count is now ball two and strike one.

274
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Lots of pepper in the giant infield, Thompson, Doth, Williams, and Loughman talking it up behind their pitcher.

275
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Okay, on the sign. The two unpitched. Doby swings, tried to hold back, but it was a fastball strike called.

276
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Turn to count. The wind is just the opposite from what it was in yesterday's ballgame, blowing toward left field today.

277
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:13,000
Cross from first to third. The two-two pitch. Doby takes strike three with a fastball to the inside corner.

278
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:20,000
He's called it on strikes. The boy, he knew it. The minute that pitch was in there, he walked quietly away.

279
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:28,000
The sign that he has been called it on strikes. The third strike out for the giant left-hander.

280
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,000
He'll give you a battle right down to the wire, that's for sure.

281
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Posting a record of 21-7 during the regular season.

282
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:41,000
Al Rosen now steps in. He walked in the first inning. Swings on the first pitch and hits a ground ball past the pitcher.

283
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:47,000
Doth moves over, third second is up with it. The third or first, another nice play. Rosen is out.

284
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Oh, that dot really showing you how to play that position. Rosen grounding out, dot to Lachman, 6-3.

285
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:11,000
Two up and two down and the batter is number 23, Vic Wirtz. He drew a base on balls in the first inning.

286
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:18,000
Now the outfielders are pulling around toward right with nobody on and two out.

287
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Antonelli started the windup, now pauses and goes back to the Rosen bag.

288
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Two out, here's the windup. The first pitch to Wirtz. He takes ball one, low into the dirt. Good stop by West Westman.

289
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:45,000
Second game of the 1954 World Series. The Giants won the first, 5-2. The Indians leading this one, 1-0, first half of the third.

290
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:51,000
The next pitch, Wirtz swings and hits a line drive out of a second base into center field on the hop, going out to way maze.

291
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Wirtz holding up it first on the throw to the infield.

292
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:08,000
And there is his fifth hit in World Series play. This being his first World Series.

293
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:16,000
So it gives him five out of six. Certainly has the fans buzzing.

294
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Now stepping into the batter's box is Wally Westlake. In the first inning he's singled into center field.

295
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Right hand batter.

296
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000
Wirtz on first.

297
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Blockman holding against him with two out.

298
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Here's the stretch. First pitch to Westlake is ball one high and outside.

299
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:56,000
A lot of people have asked about the little shin guard that Wirtz wears on his right leg.

300
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Looks like an abbreviated catcher's shin guard. He wears it to protect his instep from the foul tips. Always foul the ball on his foot.

301
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Next pitch to Westlake is ball two, a fastball high and inside.

302
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:19,000
Two and no count. With two out in the first half of the third inning.

303
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:24,000
On deck is George Strickland.

304
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Antonelli okays the sign, checks the runner. The pitch is high for ball three. Three and no count.

305
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Notice that he's been having a little trouble with the curveball and his change up.

306
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Again Jim Hearn goes to work down in the giant bullpen. Leo DeRoscia taking no chances.

307
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:54,000
Wants to have a man ready to rush him there in case they should need him. Even with two out a lot can happen.

308
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:59,000
The Indians lead one to nothing the first of the third. The next pitch is ball four outside.

309
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:05,000
He missed with a curveball. Westlake takes the walk. Wirtz moves to second.

310
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:18,000
Third base on balls given up by Antonelli and the batter is George Strickland.

311
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:29,000
Strickland came up in the first inning with the bases loaded, two out and popped to the first baseman, Whitey Lockman.

312
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Doesn't hit often but he has come through with some very timely bases.

313
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Runners on first and second. Moving off ready to travel. The first pitch is bowed. Pulled far down the left field line into the crowd.

314
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:55,000
Count is strike one.

315
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Wirtz on second. Westlake on first.

316
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Hartfield is playing Strickland straight away. Antonelli is up with the stretch.

317
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:13,000
The next pitch is swung on a ground ball hit to the shortstop. Dark is up with it. Throws over to Williams at second forcing Westlake and the side is retired.

318
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:19,000
Strickland hitting into a force play. Westlake is out at second, six-four.

319
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:26,000
So in the third inning for the Indians, no runs. One hit, one walk and two men were left.

320
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:33,000
And going into the last half of the third inning the score is Cleveland one, New York nothing.

321
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:39,000
And our fans here is veteran first sacker Mickey Vernon of the Washington Nets. A slick dependable fielder.

322
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:44,000
Mickey's twice won the American League batting crown. Say Mickey, how about this game as a career?

323
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:49,000
Baseball has been good to me Jimmy. A young man with talent can have a good life in the game.

324
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,000
And Mickey, how about that further word for the younger fellows?

325
00:54:52,000 --> 00:55:02,000
This is important for young men and some older ones too. I guess everybody wants to be successful and as a starter you've got to look neat and really clean as if you think something of yourself.

326
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:06,000
You certainly have got to look well shaved. For me that means to use the Gillette razor.

327
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:13,000
And that's it Mickey and many thanks to you. Mickey uses the Gillette super speed razor that shaves you clean in a breeze.

328
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:25,000
One dollar complete with blue blade dispenser and travel case. Right now you get the World Series record book free.

329
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:29,000
And now we go into the last half of the third inning here at the Polo Grounds.

330
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Leading off for the Giants is Davy Williams, the second baseman.

331
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:44,000
Williams was up four times in yesterday's ball game but went hitless.

332
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:50,000
Probably wondering what's happened to these Indian pitches in spring training when he hit them as if he owned them.

333
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Right hand batter, the little fellows in there waiting went into the windup.

334
00:55:54,000 --> 00:56:07,000
First pitch is fouled back to the screen. Strike one.

335
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Strike one to count. Williams leading off in the last of the third.

336
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:15,000
The Indians out in front by a score of one to nothing.

337
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
When okays the sign, works into the windup.

338
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,000
The pitch is strike two with a curve.

339
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:26,000
Going down and away from a right hand batter. The counties strike two.

340
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:34,000
No giant runner has reached bases yet. On deck is Wes Westrom.

341
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,000
The 0-2 pitch. A swing and a miss. Hagan drops the ball but picks it up.

342
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,000
Tags Williams before he can get more than three feet away.

343
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Williams goes down swinging. Second strike out for Wynn.

344
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,000
And it brings up the giant catcher Wes Westrom.

345
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,000
He surprised a lot of people yesterday with his hitting.

346
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:57,000
After batting only 187 during the regular season, he had two for four.

347
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:06,000
And the two outs were line drives, one of them into right center that Larry Doby pulled down to rob him of a base hit.

348
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:11,000
So Westrom is off to a good start with a 500 batting average for the first day's play.

349
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:20,000
One out and nobody on. The first pitch to him is ball one high and inside.

350
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:25,000
Again the skies are clear above us.

351
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,000
Fast to the third with one out and nobody on. Here's the windup.

352
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,000
The next pitch. Westrom swings and he misses.

353
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,000
Good long stroke boy. He was going for the long one.

354
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:44,000
Ball one and strike one the count.

355
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:49,000
Al Smith, the Indians left fielder, deep and straight away.

356
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Wynn's next pitch is ball two high. The count, ball two and strike one.

357
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Al Smith in left field, Larry Doby in center, Wally Westlake in right.

358
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Rosen, Strickland, Avila and Wirtz the infield.

359
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,000
The Indians lead by a score of one to nothing as a result of Al Smith's leadoff home run.

360
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:15,000
The first pitch of the ball game.

361
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Now Westrom steps back into the batter's box with a count ball two and strike one.

362
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,000
Here's the windup.

363
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,000
The two on pitch is fouled back to the screen out of play.

364
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:34,000
Even up count two and two.

365
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Ball two and strike two. A new ball tossed into play.

366
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Smith's home run was one that cleared the roof right on the foul line in the left field.

367
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Alright the two to pitch. Fouled back to the screen and Westrom is still alive with a count two and two.

368
00:58:52,000 --> 00:59:04,000
That was back into the press box where writers from all over the country are working today's ball game.

369
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Turn to count.

370
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:21,000
Wynn's windup and the two to pitch. Pulled foul down the third base line out of play.

371
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Mike Garcia, the Indians right hander, has been announced as the try pitcher for tomorrow's game.

372
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:33,000
The third game of the World Series which will be played at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium.

373
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Leo DeRosha has stated he will announce his starting pitcher after today's game.

374
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:44,000
Next pitch to Westrom is ball three outside and low and the string is out.

375
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Full count of three and two.

376
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Wynn was hoping to get one to the outside corner but knee high but missed by a shade.

377
00:59:54,000 --> 01:00:01,000
And it is now three and two.

378
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,000
One big pitch left. Three off pitch.

379
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Swung on and a foul ball hit deep out into left center.

380
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,000
Al Smith racing back. Moved under and now knee has it.

381
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,000
We're out number two. Westrom.

382
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Fired to Al Smith in left center. And that brings up the pitcher, Johnny Antonelli.

383
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Watching these batters strive to hit one toward left center, center and right center.

384
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:34,000
No one will ever knock a home run out of this park in dead center field, that's for sure.

385
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:38,000
The Gillette World Series record book shows it's the toughest home run value in the majors.

386
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:44,000
475 feet from the plate and 60 feet high.

387
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:48,000
It's a long throw out there toward that center field wall.

388
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:58,000
Antonelli, a left-hander all the way, steps in, takes ball one. First pitch outside.

389
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaking of long ball hitters, Antonelli has had two home runs here in this ball park during the regular season.

390
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Two out and nobody on. Next pitch swings and quotes it. Foul down the first base line.

391
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:16,000
Words moving over to people of all but foul. Out of play.

392
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Ball one and strike one.

393
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:31,000
The Indians out in front by a score of one to nothing. Two out for the Giants.

394
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:37,000
One okays the sign from catcher Jim Higgins. The one and one pitch, Antonelli swings and hits a high five ball into right field.

395
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Westlake moving in, waiting for it now. And he has it. The side is right.

396
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:48,000
As again the Giants put down an order. No runs, no hits. Nothing across.

397
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:58,000
And at the end of three the score is Cleveland one, New York nothing.

398
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,000
And now we head into the first half of the fourth inning here at the football grounds of New York.

399
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,000
The Indians leading by a score of one to nothing.

400
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaking of that long center field wall here at the football grounds, and if there's a mighty clout, I think there's just one ball player.

401
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:19,000
I hope I can back me up on this. Joe Adcock I believe, Al, hit one of those left center field bleachers, didn't he?

402
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:25,000
Yeah, he hit one out into the left center field bleachers, but there was also a story out, and I believe it to be true,

403
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:32,000
that the big part of the unit by first base for the Cleveland Indians when he was in the Negro League hit one into the right center field stands here.

404
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,000
You know who I mean, don't you? Yep, Big Luke Eastlake. That's right.

405
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:39,000
One of those right center field bleachers. That's quite a poke, Jimmy. I doubt you're going to see it very often.

406
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:47,000
That's it, Joe. Hank Lieber, the one-time Giants player, 1937 series, hit one back there in the well, which to my mind will pull down in the shadow.

407
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:55,000
That marker says 483. Now we head into the first of the fourth. Jim Hegan is the lead off batter.

408
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Antonelli's first pitch to him is ball one outside and low.

409
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:08,000
For the double in the second inning, it was sacrificed to third, but left-handed as Smith and Navila went down for the fine pitching of Johnny Antonelli.

410
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:15,000
Here's the windup. Next pitch, Hegan swings, a follow-zip out into right center. Maze is traveling, going, still under it.

411
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:21,000
That's it. That's good catch. They turn for the better. And they love it.

412
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:30,000
Yes, sir, he really controls that garden.

413
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,000
That'll bring up the pitchers.

414
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:43,000
One out and nobody on in the first half of the inning.

415
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:57,000
When the teams move to Clinton at Hewidge Outer Garden, a municipal stadium, we should see some great plays. We've seen them here.

416
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:07,000
A chance ought to measure Maze and Larry Doak, two great center fielder. Early wind, batting right, swings on the first pitch, foul to the screen, strike one.

417
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:28,000
Strike one to count. The Indians today have left six men on the bases. And yesterday in the last three innings, they left seven on.

418
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:37,000
Next pitch in the wind, he swings and fouls another one down the right field line, up the stands. Strike two.

419
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:52,000
Going to the count, one out, nobody on, a new ball is thrown into play. The umpire back of the plate, Charlie Berry, the American League umpiring staff.

420
01:04:52,000 --> 01:05:05,000
It's what's here in New York, hot, humid day. Ball players are really getting plenty of opportunity to perspire, or as they say, sweat.

421
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:12,000
Going to the count, one out, and the next pitch, wind swings and he misses.

422
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:22,000
Ashton dropped the ball, picked it up quickly and tacked him, and it is the fourth back out for Antonelli. And nobody on the bases.

423
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:30,000
Brings up the lead off batter, Al Smith. Two extremes in the first inning, he hit a home run on the first pitch.

424
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:38,000
Second inning, Antonelli struck him out on a back ball. The Indians lead one to nothing.

425
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:45,000
Here's the wind up and the first pitch to Smith, ball one high and inside.

426
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:54,000
On deck is Bobby Avila. The Indians have a total of four hits.

427
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:59,000
The giant runner has reached for a hit off early wind.

428
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:06,000
There is a strike, a curve ball dropping over knee high, and the count is even up, ball one and strike one.

429
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:15,000
The wind is a little stronger now. Of course, it is hard to clear the skies.

430
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:19,000
Make way for today's ball game. It certainly didn't look like it this morning.

431
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:25,000
The one and one pitch, ball two, outside. The count is two and one.

432
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:30,000
Antonelli has four strikes.

433
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:34,000
And there's walk three men.

434
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:38,000
Ball two and strike one on Al Smith. The Indians left.

435
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,000
Double run kick wind up by Antonelli.

436
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,000
On on, pull foul, down pass, third base.

437
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Puccinello, the little round man coaching at third for the Indians.

438
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,000
Made a pass out of it, but a side to the left.

439
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Little fellow that has played a lot of bases this time.

440
01:06:55,000 --> 01:07:00,000
He posted a lifetime value of around $287.

441
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:04,000
Turn to the count on the batter.

442
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,000
Two out and nobody on the bases.

443
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,000
Antonelli, what?

444
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Antonelli, it's into the wind up.

445
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:15,000
The pitch is rung on foul, into the upper deck of the left field, feets.

446
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:20,000
Long strike and quite a scramble, but the fans up there for a souvenir.

447
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:35,000
A man scramble for a $2.50, a $85 suit, but get that ball.

448
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:39,000
Ball two, strike to the count.

449
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Antonelli in action.

450
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,000
The fastball is inside and low.

451
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:55,000
Ball three, and it's a pro count now, three and two.

452
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:59,000
And notice the pitcher has been shaking off the catcher.

453
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:03,000
Antonelli has done it, I think, once or twice.

454
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:10,000
Wind has no sign that the Indians can see any of us in the fastball fans and weights.

455
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:16,000
The three to pitch inside and low, and Smith takes the base on.

456
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,000
That is the fourth walk given up by Antonelli.

457
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:24,000
Four walks, four strikeouts, he's got four hits.

458
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:29,000
But he's been effective when the chips were on the table.

459
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:34,000
Again, there are two out and the Indians have a runner on first.

460
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,000
That'll bring Bobby Avila.

461
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:47,000
Avila now has one and six, has been to bat six times yesterday, up four times yesterday,

462
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000
had one hit, up five times yesterday.

463
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,000
So it's one out of seven.

464
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Bored one of the Indians to run yesterday's game.

465
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:04,000
Avila came up with a well-deserved victory.

466
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:11,000
Two out, runner on first, the pitcher hits fastball one a fastball high enough time.

467
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:18,000
Smith on first, one of the American-bearing baserunners playing fast,

468
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:25,000
quick to take advantage of a break, and he laps on the part of an outfielder.

469
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:32,000
Three times during the season, went from first to third on a sack front by Avila.

470
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:38,000
Avila swings and there's a hard swing, a hit quickly knocked down by Thompson.

471
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:48,000
The throw to second and Smith is out, a beautiful play.

472
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:54,000
Thompson coming up with a well-deserved stop on Avila's hard smack into left field.

473
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,000
A great play for Thompson.

474
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:02,000
Smith is fourth, third baseman is second baseman, five-four.

475
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,000
So for the Indians in the first half, runs no hits.

476
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,000
One man left.

477
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:13,000
And going into the last half of the fourth inning, for his Cleveland one, nothing.

478
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:19,000
Fans on the Indians today is Bob Feller in the 17th year at the McEntyre.

479
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:22,000
You know he had to say the other day that I think that it stands.

480
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:27,000
Here's how he put it. When I'm bushed, he says, shave makes me feel like a new man.

481
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:31,000
An old super speed racer doesn't feel plenty good.

482
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,000
He's handy, one piece, and chains blades and a jiffy.

483
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,000
A quick rinse cleans it.

484
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:40,000
He's with Blue Blade.

485
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,000
Speed goes for Justin.

486
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,000
The new bigger than ever World Series record.

487
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:57,000
Blue to three. Let us know how they last. Add to your baseball enjoyment now and all year round.

488
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:03,000
And now it's the last of the fourth and the fans here at the Philadelphia Harvest are calling for a little action on the part of the Giants.

489
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,000
White lock with his feet off man, the top of the batting order.

490
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:11,000
First pick, white, four, one inside.

491
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Win as retired, nine in a row.

492
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,000
Going through.

493
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,000
He's even won.

494
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,000
He ought nothing.

495
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,000
Alvin Dark on deck.

496
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Dugton moves in in case of a run.

497
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,000
The next pitch is ball two, outside.

498
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Two and no count.

499
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,000
All to no strikes.

500
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,000
Indian right hander.

501
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:44,000
Pitch is a strike.

502
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Fastball, waste time.

503
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:51,000
Ball two and strike one.

504
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:55,000
He's a great competitor this win.

505
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,000
Here's the sign from his catcher.

506
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,000
The two on pitch, Loughman's right.

507
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:06,000
And fouls and up clear back to the screen.

508
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,000
He's a great match win a lot of times even with a knuckleball.

509
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,000
Have a count of ball three now with a nut on a certain batter.

510
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:12,000
He wants to get him up with a nut.

511
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,000
He stays right with it.

512
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,000
He recalls the time that he was ball from Yogi Barrow.

513
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:18,000
In the count of three no strikes.

514
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:19,000
Struck him out.

515
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,000
Knuckleball pitches.

516
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:23,000
Here's the foul.

517
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,000
Loughman swings and throws it.

518
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:29,000
Down the first baseline.

519
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,000
Ready Fitzsimmons.

520
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,000
Out of the way.

521
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:43,000
Ball two and strike to the count.

522
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:44,000
Last half of the fourth.

523
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,000
The Indians beat a high score of one to nothing.

524
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,000
There's the wind up and the two to pitch.

525
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Wings and he misses.

526
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,000
He's struck out.

527
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,000
Coming up now is Alvin Dowd.

528
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:55,000
Nobody on.

529
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,000
Right now, ten seconds for station identification.

530
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,000
This is Mitchell.

531
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,000
The radio network for all of us.

532
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:13,000
WNN, your World Service Station in Chicago.

533
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,000
And now Dowd steps in with nobody on.

534
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,000
First pitch is a strike.

535
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:25,000
Then getting the outback corner with a good curveball.

536
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:30,000
Second game of the 1950s.

537
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,000
Next pitch is Bob Lemon.

538
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:37,000
One and one to count.

539
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,000
The Indians broke on top by taking the first two.

540
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,000
Beating Bob Lemon.

541
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:48,000
Yesterday, Winn and Alvin Alley going in the number two game today.

542
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,000
I feel it straight away but deep in all feet.

543
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Next pitch is a strike with a fastball.

544
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:58,000
And of course, you win with that knuckleball.

545
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:03,000
That ball seems even faster.

546
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,000
One and two count.

547
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:06,000
The pitch is swung on a ground ball.

548
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,000
A short stop.

549
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,000
Big hop taken by the first in time.

550
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Dark is out.

551
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,000
There are two gone.

552
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,000
And coming up now is number 22.

553
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:16,000
Don Muto.

554
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,000
He's two for two in this.

555
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:22,000
You know, he was number two man this year and had a solid three for last year.

556

559
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,000
One piece Gillette razor.

560
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,000
Take it to the right.

561
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Two out and nobody on.

562
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,000
Kneel down. Left hand bat to swing down.

563
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,000
Pouch and close one.

564
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,000
Foul.

565
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,000
That was a right field line into the seats.

566
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:49,000
Out of play.

567
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,000
A thrill for the fans in that direction.

568
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:53,000
A foul ball.

569
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,000
Just a long strike.

570
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,000
Wide.

571
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:57,000
When's next pitch?

572
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Wide one count.

573
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,000
A great football one.

574
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,000
One and one count.

575
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,000
The end is complete.

576
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:03,000
This is the last of the fourth.

577
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:07,000
We begin feeding by a score of one to nothing.

578
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Kneel down.

579
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Up.

580
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Kneel down.

581
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:11,000
Up in the first inning.

582
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:12,000
Grounded out.

583
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Second to first.

584
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,000
Two out and nobody on.

585
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,000
There are two out and nobody on.

586
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:17,000
Okay.

587
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:20,000
We'll change the sign.

588
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,000
A fastball swung on a flat ball.

589
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:23,000
Right field.

590
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Westlake moving over.

591
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,000
He has it.

592
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,000
And the pack is retired.

593
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:33,000
A giant players have gone down.

594
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:34,000
No hit.

595
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,000
And not a giant man has reached first.

596
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,000
At the end of four innings.

597
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,000
The score is three and one.

598
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,000
New York nothing.

599
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,000
The better you know America.

600
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:46,000
The better the future looks.

601
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:50,000
We along with Canada are growing and improving in just about every way.

602
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:53,000
Our population has been increasing at an amazing rate.

603
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Giving us more families.

604
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Bigger families.

605
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:58,000
Our working force has expanded greatly.

606
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,000
Life expectancy is longer.

607
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,000
We are saving more and spending more.

608
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,000
Eating more and better food.

609
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:09,000
The benefits of education, travel and leisure enjoyed on a scale never been more known.

610
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Discoveries and inventions have created new and exciting opportunities.

611
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Our Canadians as well as our American listeners.

01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:35,000
A special issue in French is also available.

618
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,000
Going into the first half of the fifth inning.

619
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:42,000
The Indians leading the Giants one to nothing here at the Polo grounds.

620
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:43,000
The first inning of Indians.

621
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,000
Al Lopez the manager of the tribe had a visit today.

622
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:50,000
We got quite a kick out of watching the ceremony.

623
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,000
Presentation of a real Indian chief headdress.

624
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:58,000
Presented to Al Lopez by a fine old friend of his.

625
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Full blooded Indian.

626
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:01,000
Yellow horse.

627
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,000
At one time a pitcher with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

628
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,000
Friend of Al Lopez over the years.

629
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,000
And now in the first of the fifth it will be Larry Dolby.

630
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,000
His third time to the plate.

631
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,000
Antonelli has struck him out twice.

632
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,000
Called it on strike both times.

633
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:19,000
First pitch.

634
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:20,000
Dolby takes ball one.

635
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:21,000
Curve ball.

636
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Broking.

637
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:26,000
Breaking outside and low.

638
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Ball on the count.

639
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:32,000
Outfield is around toward right.

640
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,000
The next pitch.

641
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:34,000
Dolby swings and hits a fireball.

642
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Needs to went out into short left field.

643
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Coming in fast is Monty Irvin.

644
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,000
He's under it now and makes the catch.

645
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:47,000
He got a late start but caught up with it for the out.

646
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,000
That brings up Al Rosen.

647
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,000
Indian third baseman.

648
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:57,000
Has a walk to show in two trips.

649
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,000
First half of the fifth inning.

650
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:03,000
This ball game really moving along.

651
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,000
Antonelli's wind up.

652
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:10,000
First pitch. Rosen takes ball one inside and low.

653
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,000
The only run of the game came in the first inning.

654
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:15,000
And Al Smith, Indians leadoff batter, hit the first pitch.

655
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:19,000
Over the left field roof.

656
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:20,000
Next pitch to Rosen.

657
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,000
He swings and hits one through the hole into right field.

658
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:23,000
A base hit.

659
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:26,000
Hitting to the opposite field between second and first.

660
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,000
Rosen is on first now.

661
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:36,000
With hit number five for the Tribe.

662
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,000
That is his second hit of the World Series.

663
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,000
One out.

664
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,000
A runner on first and Vic Wirtz steps in.

665
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:46,000
He has a walk and a single.

666
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:56,000
And certainly has the highest average of all of the players in the series thus far.

667
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:59,000
Wirtz is batting 8.33 at the present time.

668
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Yesterday's game and today's.

669
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:08,000
One out.

670
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,000
First pitch to him. He takes a strike.

671
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,000
Fast ball by him.

672
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:18,000
About knee high.

673
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:23,000
Antonelli showing the stuff that made him one of the best pitchers in baseball during the year.

674
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:28,000
He'll work carefully on him.

675
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,000
Next pitch to Wirtz is a foul hit into the stands.

676
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,000
Off to the left of the plate. Out of play. Strike two.

677
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:40,000
That one going far into the upper deck.

678
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:46,000
The Indians have had runners on base in every inning of the game but have been unable to score.

679
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,000
They left three men on in the first.

680
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:52,000
One in the second. Two in the third. And left one in the fourth.

681
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:58,000
They now have a total of five hits and Antonelli has walked four batters.

682
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:02,000
But he's had it in the tights front.

683
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:06,000
First time he has a runner on first with one out in the first half of the fifth inning.

684
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:07,000
Here's the stretch.

685
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,000
Look to the runner at first.

686
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,000
The pitch is swung in and there's a fireball in the left field.

687
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:22,000
And moving back is under it now. He has it for up number two.

688
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,000
Antonelli pulled the string onward. Gave him a change up.

689
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,000
He hit it to the opposite field. Fireball to Monty Urban.

690
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:33,000
That brings up Wally Wetchley. A single in the first inning.

691
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,000
He walked in the third.

692
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,000
Right hand batter.

693
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,000
Indian teammates call him the beast.

694
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,000
He's powerfully built.

695
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:50,000
First pitch is a fastball blazed through the middle. Strike one call.

696
01:20:50,000 --> 01:21:00,000
Throws in on first with two out in the first half of the fifth inning.

697
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:04,000
Strike one to count. Throws in and takes a short lead.

698
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Next pitch is wide of the plate. Bow one.

699
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:17,000
One and one. The count is even up.

700
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:20,000
Batter on deck is George Strickland.

701
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,000
Antonelli tugging at his cap.

702
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Notting vigorously to his catcher Wes Westrom on the sign.

703
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:30,000
One and one pitch. Hit foul down the third baseline.

704
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:38,000
This has been fielded by Tony Cucinello.

705
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:46,000
Bow one and strike to the count of the batter.

706
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:51,000
The Indians leading by a score of one to nothing as a result of Al Smith's home run.

707
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,000
Antonelli checks the runner.

708
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:55,000
The next pitch is low into the dirt.

709
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,000
Down step and hit Wetchley. Rosen holding it first.

710
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:01,000
The count is now even. Ball two and strike two.

711
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:04,000
Rosen will not take any chances on the bases.

712
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Not with that leg, which is still a little lame.

713
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:16,000
It's a matter of a torn muscle in the thigh.

714
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:19,000
Turn to count.

715
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:23,000
Antonelli now steps onto the rubber.

716
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:25,000
Outfielders deep and around toward left.

717
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:31,000
The two pitch. Ball three. Over but too low with a curveball and the string is out.

718
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,000
Full count of three and two.

719
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:38,000
And now with two out, Rosen will be on the move.

720
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,000
Witte Lachman with the right hand batter up.

721
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:46,000
Moves to first base to hold him.

722
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Westlake single in the first inning was in the center field right through the middle.

723
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,000
In the third.

724
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Three and two count.

725
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:00,000
Shake off on the sign. Antonelli okay on the next.

726
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:05,000
The three to pitch. A swing and a miss. He struck him out.

727
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:10,000
Strikeout number five for Johnny Antonelli.

728
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,000
Boy, this is a real humdinger.

729
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:16,000
Westlake goes down swinging and for the Indians in the fifth.

730
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:19,000
No runs. One hit. One man left.

731
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,000
Going into the last half of the fifth inning the score is Cleveland one.

732
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:25,000
New York nothing.

733
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:33,000
Hey when it's hard to get rolling in the morning there's nothing like a clean refreshing shave with shaving cream and a Gillette super speed razor to shift you into high gear.

734
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:38,000
Those look good, feel great shave really come easy with this wonderfully convenient razor.

735
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,000
Twist the handle and the razor opens.

736
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:43,000
Hook on a blade. Twist again and you're all set.

737
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,000
To clean both razor and blade simply rinse under the tap.

738
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:54,000
What do you say how about enjoying the comfort and convenience of the modern Gillette super speed including blue blade dispense and travel case.

739
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:59,000
It's only a dollar and with it you get the new Gillette World Series record book free.

740
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,000
Last year's edition went before we knew it.

741
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,000
This year's enlarged book is going even faster.

742
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:09,000
So you better hurry.

743
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:17,000
And our fans here at the Polo Grounds in New York the second game of the 1954 World Series going into the last half of the fifth inning the score is Cleveland one.

744
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,000
New York Giants nothing.

745
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:24,000
Now to take over and carry on the rest of this broadcast here is Mitchell's Al Helper.

746
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Al come in.

747
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,000
All right Jimmy one down in the series.

748
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,000
I'm going to score one to nothing right now in favor of the Indians.

749
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:32,000
They're trying to even it up and hold their perfect World Series record.

750
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,000
You know they've won two World Series and lost none.

751
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:35,000
Well let's see what happens.

752
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:39,000
Old man tough is out on the mound for the Cleveland Indians this afternoon early win.

753
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,000
He's pitching on Willie May.

754
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:47,000
Comes in with an overhand fastball and Willie who is over one leans back and takes that fastball off the shoulder for ball one.

755
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:52,000
Willie Mays came up in the second inning sent a fly ball to right field it was gathered in by Wally Westlake.

756
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:58,000
And in day fairness over reporting we should tell you that the Giants have had no base runners in this one so far.

757
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:59,000
There's a curve ball.

758
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:03,000
Willie partially swung on and enough to have it called a strike against him.

759
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:09,000
One ball and one strike on Willie Mays who is 0 for 4 in series play so far this year.

760
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:13,000
They went 0 for 3 yesterday and 0 for 1 this afternoon.

761
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:18,000
Early win the Ole Macomis right hander delivers a pitch high that almost gets away from Higgin and that'll be ball two.

762
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:22,000
That's it this win has really been mowing them down.

763
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:26,000
It isn't that Johnny Antonelli isn't pitching a good ball game.

764
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:30,000
He is he's pitching a fine ball game but early win just happens to be pitching one a little bit better.

765
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Win the barrel chested right hander Cleveland.

766
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:40,000
Very serious face fellow takes his sign from Higgin looks down at Willie Mays the right hander pitches to him a fastball right end of the pin.

767
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,000
That's ball three.

768
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:43,000
Three balls and one strike.

769
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,000
It's a one to nothing ball game in favor of the Cleveland Indians.

770
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,000
They have one run five hits off Johnny Antonelli.

771
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,000
One of the five hits was the first pitch ball.

772
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:56,000
Al Smith tagged it over the left field wall for a home run.

773
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:02,000
A lot of curve ball Mays is outside the ball for and there's the first man to get on base for the New York Giants this afternoon.

774
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:06,000
The first base on balls to be given up by early win.

775
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:11,000
Now everybody I don't know whether this will have anything to do with the record book or not and I doubt whether we could find it.

776
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:13,000
But I'm almost sure it might be.

777
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:18,000
On two successive pitch balls by two different pitchers two home runs were the results.

778
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:25,000
If you'll go back to yesterday's ball game the first pitch ball Dusty Rhodes hit it into the right field stands for a three run home run to win the ball game for the Giants.

779
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:33,000
And today Al Smith stepped up and teed off on the first pitch hit by a film by Johnny Antonelli hit it over the left field for a home run.

780
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,000
Here's Hank Thompson up now.

781
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,000
He's all for one applied to left field in the second inning.

782
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:43,000
Take first pitch and five for ball one.

783
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:48,000
Well amazed the only base runner he has the only stolen base in the series so far so yesterday if you recall.

784
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,000
He's on it first word told the inside corner.

785
01:26:51,000 --> 01:27:02,000
When Jackson now the one and all pitch the play down it comes Thompson backs off and takes a fastball over the inside corner off the hands for called strike.

786
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:13,000
Hank Thompson is one for four batting a two fifty right now in the entire World Series play so far he's had one for three yesterday to post a batting average of three thirty three at the start of the ballgame.

787
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:19,000
Thompson standing deep at the plate holds that bat way down with a knob a little color swings and gets a lot of power in it.

788
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:24,000
When Jackson's run away may break back off the mound and bluff will be back in the first base.

789
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:36,000
The outfield for Thompson is spanned around the right and playing deep particularly while I was like in right field he's playing back very deep back to the center track here at the ground as the sun breaks out again when pitches an overhand curveball it's inside.

790
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:40,000
That's ball to.

791
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:56,000
Two balls one strike on Hank Thompson Herman Frank some time third but known as the Thompson and for the base runner Willie Mays. This is the first opportunity the Giants have had a man on the bases and we'll see how carefully early win pitches here with a man on.

792
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:00,000
Bobby available deep in the hole between first and second with this left hand hitter up there.

793
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:15,000
Al Rosen playing a shallow third.

794
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:38,000
The misty haze hanging over the ground.

795
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:46,000
In the fifth inning finally the Giants then the pitching of early win they get the first base hit often.

796
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:51,000
Whether that question third and dusty road is coming up to the plate.

797
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:57,000
The guy who sent that home run into the right field stands yesterday on the first pitch in the 10th inning.

798
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:15,000
The road is batting for money oven.

799
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Well here's the guy who is the undoing of Bob lemon who pitched a very brilliant ball game here for Cleveland yesterday.

800
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:29,000
He was the undoing of Bob lemon and he's been sent up against early win here this afternoon the tying run for the Giants on that third base.

801
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,000
It's one to nothing ball game.

802
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:37,000
Second is open nobody out and early win is in trouble.

803
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:42,000
That's the road coming up to the plate batting 1000 in the series.

804
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:48,000
First pitch joined the left hand hitter swings on there's a high foul ball hit off the first base line was coming over I doubt he can get to it he can't.

805
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:51,000
He's out of play.

806
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:59,000
The first pitch yesterday in the right field stands in the bottom of the 10th inning with two men aboard to get the Giants a five to two surprising win here at the Polo ground.

807
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:06,000
And it's being called upon again by the county manager Leo de Rocher to see what they can do about facing early win.

808
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:10,000
Well it may be playing a very safely at third base not taking much of a lead.

809
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:19,000
I'm holding blue pretty much the first with words on the inside corner field around right needless to say playing deep early when ready delivers fastball and right down into the dirt.

810
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:23,000
Go stuffy road that ball flips in off the cap.

811
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:26,000
One ball and one strike to count on road.

812
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:32,000
Why you got the fans buzzing here at the Polo grounds now.

813
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:40,000
The roads digging in he's a big fellow left hand hitter stands just off the plate holds up that way down with the.

814
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:45,000
Checked his runners delivers one and one of the play the fastball swing on the miss first strike.

815
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:50,000
Just it was really after it was no question at all what he had in the back of his mind.

816
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:53,000
One ball two strikes on dusty road.

817
01:30:53,000 --> 01:31:00,000
Last half of any number five the Giants with runners at first and third as they finally cracked into early win service.

818
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:07,000
When what may is made then going all the way around a third when Hank Thompson rifled a single in the right field.

819
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:11,000
Rosen bluffing over to third to keep early mays close as when steps up on the rubber.

820
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:16,000
The count on dusty roads pinch batting from on the urban is one ball and two strikes.

821
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,000
Well history repeat itself.

822
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:22,000
Let's see when settles down into position hesitates.

823
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:26,000
Where's back delivers a plate road swings there's a high foul ball hit back to the screen.

824
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:31,000
The count of play the cover means one ball and two strikes.

825
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:36,000
We said a few minutes ago despite the fact the sun is now out here at the Polo grounds.

826
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:42,000
They're sort of a murky haze hanging over the city of New York makes it particularly difficult.

827
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:45,000
When the sun is gone.

828
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:53,000
See the ball too well for said Jimmy told you the lights can be turned on in World Series play at any time now when a set runners at first and third nobody out.

829
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:56,000
When comes a pitch road swings it's a pop fly in the center field.

830
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:57,000
He's going to have to hurry comes on.

831
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,000
They can't get to the base here.

832
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:02,000
When he makes comes in there to throw the third time and slides he's safe.

833
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:22,000
He goes back to a beater and road gets down to second on the throw in.

834
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:30,000
The road to bat it in three runs yesterday for the New York Giants has just batted one in today.

835
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:41,000
So that'll give him four runs batted in that ties up the ball game here in the last half of fifth inning when he may is coming in to score from third base easily.

836
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:50,000
And on the bullpen very quickly for the Cleveland Indians Don Mossy the left hander and Raynor Leslie the right hander jump up and start to get heated up.

837
01:32:50,000 --> 01:33:04,000
So Rhoads is on at second base taking second on the throw in which tried to catch Thompson as he moved over on that dunk single in the second fin to center field move all the way around from second on in the third base.

838
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:09,000
And 47 times at bat as a pinch hitter Dusty Rhoads now has delivered 17 times this year.

839
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:13,000
That means percentage of about 360 and that's pretty tough.

840
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:19,000
David Williams up there now with the infield drawn in tight takes the first pitch from early wind fired in their high for ball one.

841
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:22,000
All locked up here at one apiece.

842
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:27,000
The New York Giants and the Cleveland Indians they've got the hammers out there going this afternoon.

843
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:37,000
Runners at second and third first is open the Cleveland infield is drawn in tight early wind with his back against the wall Reyes back delivers to David Williams a pitch a swung on there's a high foul ball hit off the first base line.

844
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:42,000
Big words digging over to the stands he cannot get it's unplayable.

845
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,000
Way back into the crowd.

846
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:47,000
One ball and one strike is the count on David Williams.

847
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:52,000
Here in the last half of the fifth inning the Giants have scored one time to tie it up.

848
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:58,000
They've gotten only two hits off early when both of the hits having come here in the last half of any number five.

849
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:06,000
Mays who was locked brings back to mind that old adage to walk the first man in an inning is fatal when delivers the plate now to Williams.

850
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:11,000
It's a fastball high ball to two balls and one strike.

851
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:19,000
David almost went for that pitch when out there perspiring trying to drive his hand.

852
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:25,000
There's Hank Thompson stepping down on third dusty roads moves off second when pitches the plate.

853
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:30,000
It's a fast curve inside the ball three.

854
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:39,000
Three balls one strike to count on David Williams batting number seven in the Giants order Williams has been up once today came up in the third inning and struck out.

855
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:51,000
One of the three strikeouts fun here this afternoon by the Cleveland right hander Thompson hugging very close to third with Rosen very close to hold him on the pitch of the plate to Williams a swing on a foul tip.

856
01:34:51,000 --> 01:35:00,000
So he had the green light on the three one pitch now three to it's one right on the foul right back into the mask of Jim Higgins.

857
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Ben Texas cap off on the mound rises for it steps up kicks dirt scrapes his cleats along the pitchers rubber and feels still playing up tight.

858
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:18,000
Now the pitch is played on the three to count Williams swings as a high powerball coming right up over our microphones.

859
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:22,000
I don't think anyone's going to get to that.

860
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:38,000
One to remaining is the count on young David Williams with first base open nobody out giant runners at second and third dusty roads coming in as a pinch batter from Monte urban dumping Texas Laker in the center field to drive in the tying run.

861
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:45,000
Give him four runs batted into the series of the six that have been hit in with the Giants when delivers three and two of the fastball is over for called strike three.

862
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:47,000
So Williams goes out of there.

863
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:57,000
And early when I hang up strikeout number four coming up to the plate now is West West from a super five and World Series play.

864
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:06,000
And in this ball game is over one game up in the third inning hit a ball well but headed out into left field where Al Smith was able to range off to his left and make the catch.

865
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:14,000
Time has been called for the moment while Al Rosen talks to his pitcher early when he turns and cuts back toward third base.

866
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:26,000
The situation here in the last half of fifth inning one out for the Giants Hank Thompson is on the third dusty roads who batted for Monte urban and delivered a pinch single to drive in the tying runners on its second and first base is open.

867
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,000
And West Western up there.

868
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:38,000
The first pitch to us is high and outside fastball almost got away from Hagen one ball and no strikes all locked up at one and one wouldn't you know it.

869
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:47,000
Well they said there was going to be a lot of excitement in the 1954 World Series when the Giants and Indians got together and by George we've had it.

870
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:50,000
One ball no strike count on West West from right hand hitter.

871
01:36:50,000 --> 01:37:02,000
In comes the next pitch fastball lady now about face I for ball to win has gone to the fastball on occasions and particularly so on West West from

872
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,000
Western steps back.

873
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:16,000
Right back up to the plate now and big spikes in and they're playing up tight hoping to get a chance to cut the run off the plate when delivers a lot of curve it's also high and that's all three.

874
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:26,000
Three nothing West Western here in the last half of any number five one out and two on all game tied at one piece.

875
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:37,000
And they're going to put him on now there's ball for way on the outside and that means that Johnny Antonelli will be coming up he or a pinch batter and we see who is coming up let's pause here 10 seconds for station identification.

876
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:40,000
This is mutual the radio network for all America.

877
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:54,000
This is WGN your World Series station Chicago.

878
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:57,000
The order or you're sending up his good hit and pitcher Johnny Antonelli.

879
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:07,000
I think Jimmy Dudley told you earlier in the broadcast and Antonelli and poke a pair of home runs into the right field stands here to follow ground so they're going to give him a chance to bat for himself here with the bases loaded and one out.

880
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:14,000
Score is one a piece here between Cleveland and the New York Giants Thompson's on it third roads at second and Western was on it first.

881
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:18,000
So more than definitely now early when has his work cut out for him.

882
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:28,000
That's right up on the wall and big letters when delivers Antonelli hitting left hand it takes a curve outside the ball one.

883
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Freddie Fitzsimmons wiggle his fingers down at first base.

884
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:38,000
Trying to get the attention of base runners.

885
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:48,000
The field has moved back to double play depth now particularly the keystone combination when delivers curveball swing on Antonelli and missed for strike was broken right off the face on the inside corner.

886
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:56,000
One ball one strike on Johnny Antonelli and Johnny came up in the second and he's on a pretty good fly ball to right field and Westlake went off to his right to capture it.

887
01:38:56,000 --> 01:39:07,000
That retired decide in the third and then I was standing just off the plate almost straight up and down now leans over wind throws in the fastball and it's one on hit down to the right side Bobby Vila out with a gross

888
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:16,000
second for one out of second to go to first is not in time.

889
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:29,000
Johnny Antonelli gets the run batted in and the Giants now lead two to one coming in from third base to score on the force out at second Hank Thompson and the force out at second.

890
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:41,000
The ball went from a beeline and picked up very nicely fired back to Strickland on the first base not in time and dusty roads of course ankle right over into possession third.

891
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:54,000
So the Giants have runners the first and third second is open enough is what he locked in the leadoff man of the New York Giants to the one down favor of New York when delivers a curve when he locked in swings it just outside of first base foul on the ground.

892
01:39:54,000 --> 01:40:00,000
That's a strike one.

893
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:14,000
One of the finest slides we've seen the long time was Western clicking his feet into second base there to try to keep Strickland from firing that ball on over to first to get Antonelli on a twin killing

894
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:24,000
the road is done all right so far for the Giants and the pinching department getting to there's a pitch the plate to lockman low on whitey is one and one.

895
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:45,000
Okay wait a minute I don't have to depend on the memory let's go to that little record book here and see that's right Brown has three pinch hit in the World Series. So I just erode is just one child at Dr. Bobby Brown.

896
01:40:45,000 --> 01:41:00,000
He picks up throws over to early when covering in time for the put out there's a nice play by Vic words on the recovery. He had that ball completely handcuffing an early win playing heads up baseball was over to cover that court pick that ball up and flip the backhanded to early win in time to get the put out at first base

897
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:16,000
and whitey lockman almost hit that ball through big. So that's all here for the New York Giants in the last half of the fifth inning a free one put out on whitey lockman to retire the side however the Giants come up with a pair of runs to go ahead two runs on two base hits was one rock in there.

898
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:28,000
There were two men left on and there were no errors. So the score at the end of five full endings of play now, the New York Giants to and the Cleveland Indians one.

899
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:38,000
Well, it's really one for the books. What a quick easy shaving cream shave with a gel at razor can do for you and make sure you're up and coming best and feel great right off.

900
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:45,000
Try today's handy one piece to let and see.

901
01:41:45,000 --> 01:42:00,000
Well here at the end of five innings at the Polo grounds means that the ground keepers come out and sort of manicure the infield get it all set for the remainder of the ball game and it gives us an opportunity here of taking a look at the totals right now for the New York Giants.

902
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:08,000
I have a total of two runs on two base hits. They have committed no errors and so far they have stranded just two men for the Cleveland Indians coming up with one run.

903
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:24,000
Five hits off Janet Johnny Antonelli who will now be the front running pitcher and as far as errors are concerned the Indians have done and in the left on bases department they have eight they stranded three in the first inning one in the second stranded two and a third one in the fourth and one in the fifth for a total of eight.

904
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:30,000
Now let's see they had 13 yesterday and they have stranded eight today for a total of 21.

905
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:38,000
They've stranded 21 men on the bases so far yesterday the Giants had nine and they have two today so that's just 11 that's about half as many as the Indians have left on the bases.

906
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:48,000
So it might we might find that the record will be challenged in the left on bases department air this World Series has reached its conclusion.

907
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:59,000
Johnny Antonelli goes back to the mound now and here in the top half of sixth inning he'll pitch to the last third of the batting order of the Cleveland Indians George Strickland will be the first man up and will come Hagan and early win.

908
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:14,000
George Strickland has been up twice in the second game and he has gone over to in the first inning he was out number three popping up and out to the first baseman Whitey Lockman came along then in the third inning and retired to side forcing out Wally Westlake at second on a play that went from Alvin Dark to Davy Williams.

909
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:38,000
So it's strictly coming up first here in the top of the sixth inning followed by Hagan who has won all the five hits given up by Johnny Antonelli and has the one of the two extra base blows given up by the left hander won a home run by Al Smith leading off in the ballgame and then Jim Jim Hagan led off in the second inning doubled and died at third base after winning sacrifice in there when Smith struck out and Avila filed out to third baseman Thompson.

910
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:44,000
So we move to the top of the sixth inning here Strickland standing in he's over five in the series over to this afternoon.

911
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:54,000
Let up curve ball is over to right hand hitter for a strike one call.

912
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:58,000
Antonelli now for the first time this afternoon is out in front.

913
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:05,000
Starts his motion kicks and throws a fastball it's 40 near about shoulder high and this is a little outside for ball one.

914
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:09,000
One ball and one strike on George Strickland.

915
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:14,000
Good feeling shortstop this trick.

916
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:18,000
Many times it's been said if he could hit just a little bit more he'd be terrific guy.

917
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:24,000
There's a curveball it's lit up on the outside corner shoulder hyperball to two balls and one strike.

918
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:29,000
Another way Jim was telling me before the ballgame yesterday said one thing about it.

919
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:34,000
This guy Strickland has meant an awful lot to the Cleveland infield I've watched him all year long and he's really been a spark plug.

920
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:40,000
The two one pitch fastball to Strickland at the knees good for strike two call.

921
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:43,000
Of course you can't overlook the work of Sam Dentey.

922
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:49,000
That shortstop for Cleveland when George Strickland was forced out with his broken jaw.

923
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:53,000
Kid played with a broken finger did a nice job for him.

924
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:58,000
Fastball to Strickland over at the knees for called strike three.

925
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:02,000
So Strickland is out of there as Antonelli wheels up strikeout number six.

926
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:10,000
He's done 40 strike 48 strikeouts on the regular year and has now come up with six here in this World Series game.

927
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Antonelli will face Jim Higgin now.

928
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Jim doubled in the second inning doubled the left field came along in the fourth inning and fly the center fielder Willie Mays.

929
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:26,000
Antonelli works to him the big right hand hitter takes a fastball forward through under the letters for called strike one.

930
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:34,000
The kid this year has shown that often he will start shakily and did in the 39 games he pitched for the Giants.

931
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:38,000
But seems to warm to his task and get even stronger as he goes along.

932
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:41,000
That's characteristic also of early win.

933
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:46,000
Early had a weakening spot in the fifth inning the Giants were able to pick up a pair of runs to lead him now two to one.

934
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:49,000
Pitch is hung on by Higgin there is a line drive hit out in the right field.

935
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:53,000
Don Mueller's got this one played just right and he's got it for out number two.

936
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:58,000
Higgin lines to Don Mueller right from second out in the sixth and that'll bring on early win.

937
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:01,000
And early is coming up.

938
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:04,000
It's a nice round of applause from the folks here at the Polo Ground.

939
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:14,000
This guy's a good pitcher.

940
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:19,000
Early win a switch hitter batting right handed against the left handed pitcher of John Antonelli.

941
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:27,000
A sacrifice successfully that sacrifice came in the second inning when he moved Jim Higgin down to third base.

942
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:29,000
Came along in the fourth and struck out.

943
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:37,000
Antonelli pours the first pitch to win it's a fastball that shades off outside for ball one.

944
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:41,000
Lazy breeze blowing in from behind right field here this afternoon.

945
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:45,000
It's not going to help or hurt the fly balls too much.

946
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:47,000
That son keeps playing hide and seek.

947
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,000
It's odd right now.

948
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:53,000
Antonelli comes in with an overhand fastball and wins swings and misses.

949
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:56,000
One ball one strike on early win.

950
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:09,000
Two down four Cleveland here in the top of the sixth inning.

951
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:14,000
Antonelli trying to pace himself takes plenty of time as he takes his sign from Westrom.

952
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:19,000
Now West pops him in as a target Antonelli delivers a big lead up curve ball and swing on hit off the end of the bat.

953
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:25,000
Trickles foul up the first base line where Red Crest coaching there for the Indians picks it up and throws it out of play.

954
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:36,000
So the count hangs right on for early win at one ball and two strikes with the bases empty and two down in the beginning of the sixth inning.

955
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:41,000
Wind measures off at the plate beats the meat end of the bat down on the rubber of home plate.

956
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:44,000
Set back on his shoulder whips it around a couple of times.

957
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:51,000
In the meantime, John Antonelli tugs at his cap, kicks dirt out of his spikes.

958
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:54,000
Westrom has a sign already for him and now we're ready to go.

959
01:47:54,000 --> 01:48:00,000
Antonelli pumps once, twice, rears back and delivers fastball inside off the hips.

960
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:03,000
That's ball two.

961
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:05,000
Two balls and two strikes.

962
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:08,000
Play down fire, Charlie Berry.

963
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:12,000
He's behind catcher Westrom waiting for the next pitch.

964
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,000
Choco Conlon is at first.

965
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:17,000
Johnny Stevens at second and Al Bartek is down at third.

966
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:22,000
Lon Warnocki down the left field line and Larry Knapp down the right field line.

967
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:23,000
The five men in blue.

968
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:26,000
Now Antonelli comes in to do the plate swing on.

969
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:32,000
There's a high foul ball hit right up over our mutual microphones up into the second tier.

970
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:34,000
Two balls and two strikes.

971
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:36,000
Down holding right on for early win.

972
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:43,000
Right now he looks as though someone has taken a water bucket and poured its entire contents right down his neck.

973
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:45,000
It's hot here this afternoon.

974
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:47,000
The humidity is what has done it.

975
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:52,000
And when that sun comes out and starts to boil that mist, it gets hot down on that field.

976
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:58,000
It must be because I know it's hot up here.

977
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:01,000
The two and two count for early win. Two down, nobody on top of the six.

978
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:03,000
Two to one in favor of the Giants.

979
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:06,000
Antonelli delivers a slow curve and wind punches it.

980
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:08,000
There's a drive going into left field that might be in there.

981
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:10,000
It's up against the boards for perhaps extra bases.

982
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:11,000
There goes early win.

983
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:12,000
Diggins for second.

984
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:15,000
He hauls up at second with a stand up two bagger.

985
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:19,000
That almost got into the left field stance for a home run.

986
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:21,000
Almost.

987
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:23,000
It winds up as a double for early win.

988
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:26,000
And now he himself represents the tying run for Cleveland at second base.

989
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,000
If Al Smith is able to do something about it.

990
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:31,000
There's hit number six of Antonelli.

991
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:35,000
And I can well imagine it would be sweet music for the years of early win.

992
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:40,000
The ring at the back by Al Smith would denote a base hit.

993
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:44,000
As when who isn't the fastest man on the Cleveland Indians squad by alongside,

994
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:49,000
but still can move, is in scoring position.

995
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:51,000
Should Al Smith come through.

996
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:52,000
Smith has had one base hit.

997
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:54,000
That was his home run opening the ball game.

998
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:59,000
He struck out the second, walked in the fourth.

999
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:03,000
He himself was forced out.

1000
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:08,000
At second base on a spectacular play by Thompson.

1001
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:11,000
Smith, a choke hitter, batting right handed, moves up.

1002
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:14,000
Down the bullpen we've got double barrel activity for the Giants.

1003
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:17,000
And the first pitch is made by Antonelli, low into the dirt for ball one.

1004
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:19,000
John McCall, the left-hander.

1005
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:22,000
And the right-hander is, we've got two left-handers down there.

1006
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:24,000
John McCall, wait a minute, that's Quite Wilhelm.

1007
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:25,000
That's right.

1008
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:26,000
Quite Wilhelm, the right-hander.

1009
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:28,000
John McCall, the left-hander.

1010
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:31,000
So Leo has a pair on tap.

1011
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:34,000
Antonelli looks back over his left shoulder at second base to check,

1012
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:37,000
see where Early-Win is playing, then delivers a curve way inside,

1013
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:39,000
right down to the shins.

1014
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:42,000
That's ball two on Al Smith.

1015
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:46,000
So Antonelli's got himself some scratching trouble here.

1016
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:47,000
Early-Win almost tagged him for a home run.

1017
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:53,000
The ball hit high on the left field wall up over the 315-foot sign.

1018
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:57,000
Dusty Rhodes who went into left field after he'd batted for Irwin.

1019
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,000
Went high on the wall and couldn't do it.

1020
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:00,000
Got away from him.

1021
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:02,000
Willie Mays had to make the play finally.

1022
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:05,000
Now Antonelli sets.

1023
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:06,000
Delivers to the plate.

1024
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:09,000
Smith takes a medium-speed fastball through there for a strike,

1025
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:18,000
and the count is two and one.

1026
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:20,000
Ticket line for the Giants, Rhodes in left.

1027
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:24,000
Willie Mays in center, Don Mueller in right.

1028
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:27,000
If you recall, it was Rhodes who came in in the fifth inning,

1029
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:30,000
pinched up the single, and then he stayed right on from Audie Irwin.

1030
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:34,000
The rest of the lineup remains the same.

1031
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:37,000
Antonelli ready to go now to Al Smith.

1032
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:38,000
Checks his runner at second.

1033
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:40,000
That's Early-Win taking a pretty good-sized lead.

1034
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:45,000
Tows the sidearm fastball over to the count strike two.

1035
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:46,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1036
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:47,000
The count on Al Smith.

1037
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:48,000
Two down, run on.

1038
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:49,000
The tying run.

1039
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:50,000
Early-Win is on at second base.

1040
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,000
Two-to-one ball game favor of the Giants here as we move along

1041
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:56,000
in the top of the sixth inning.

1042
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:58,000
Winds whipping up a little bit more from behind right field now,

1043
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:04,000
blowing sort of catty-cornered across the playing field, not behind left.

1044
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:06,000
Antonelli has the count of two and two with Al Smith.

1045
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:11,000
Two down for the Indians in the top of the sixth and early-win in scoring position at second.

1046
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:21,000
And just as Antonelli gets ready to pitch, Smith backs out.

1047
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:23,000
Now he's back in and ready to go.

1048
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,000
Antonelli again the check of the runner, delivers the play to let up curveball,

1049
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:29,000
swing on and dribble up the third baseline foul.

1050
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:36,000
Two balls, two strikes on Smith.

1051
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:38,000
Yesterday's ball game certainly was a thriller.

1052
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:42,000
Most everywhere he went last night you heard folks talking about it.

1053
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:45,000
My goodness, what a lot of action, huh?

1054
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:50,000
Well, they've come right back here this afternoon and provided more of the same.

1055
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:55,000
Cleveland making their bid right now to tie up this ball game, and well they might.

1056
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:57,000
Wynn takes his lead at second.

1057
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:00,000
Antonelli checks him, then delivers to the plate two-two.

1058
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:03,000
The pitch is swung on and popped up off the first baseline of foul territory.

1059
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:04,000
Here comes Wadie Lachman digging over.

1060
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:08,000
He's under it and he's got it.

1061
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:12,000
So that's all for the Cleveland threat here in the sixth inning.

1062
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:15,000
Al Smith fouling up and out to first baseman Wadie Lachman to retire to side.

1063
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:18,000
No runs. There was one base hit.

1064
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:20,000
There were no errors. One man was left on.

1065
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:25,000
That's the ninth man to be left on here by the Indians in going to bat six times.

1066
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:30,000
Now the score at the end of five and one half innings, the second game of the 54 World Series.

1067
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:35,000
It's the New York Giants two and the Cleveland Indians one.

1068
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:39,000
Well tomorrow, as you know, the series moves to Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.

1069
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:40,000
They call it the perfect park.

1070
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:43,000
The right field and left field lines are exactly the same length.

1071
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:47,000
Well, look the layout over in the Gillette World Series record book.

1072
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:51,000
This great little book has the diagrams of every park in the majors complete.

1073
01:53:51,000 --> 01:54:01,000
This new edition is jam-packed with baseball lowdown, diagrams of all parks, scoring instructions, all-time records, this year's player rosters, basic rules, and plenty more for baseball fun from now on.

1074
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:03,000
Have you got yours? No?

1075
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:09,000
Well then you'd better be sure to get this 112-page, fact-filled pocketbook in time for tomorrow's game.

1076
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:13,000
Buy a Gillette Super Speed Racer set for just one dollar, the regular price.

1077
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:15,000
Your free copy is attached.

1078
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:21,000
Better get going though because supplies are running mighty low.

1079
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:23,000
The last half of inning number six.

1080
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:26,000
The New York Giants leading by one run as the score stands two to one.

1081
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:28,000
We'll have Alvin Dark coming up here in the sixth inning.

1082
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:32,000
Dark to be followed by Don Mueller and then by Willie Mays.

1083
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:35,000
If anyone else is needed, Hank Thompson will be up there again to swing the lumber.

1084
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:38,000
Early win goes back to the mound for Cleveland.

1085
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,000
And let's check them defensively for you.

1086
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:43,000
It's early win on the mound behind the plate Jim Hagan.

1087
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:46,000
At first base Victor Wirtz. At second Bobby Avila.

1088
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:48,000
The shortstop is George Strickland.

1089
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:52,000
At third is Al Rosen out in left field.

1090
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:55,000
Al Smith, the center fielder, Larry Doby.

1091
01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:57,000
And in right field Wally Westlake.

1092
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:00,000
Early win throwing a few pitches down to get the feeling of the mound.

1093
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:06,000
He stood out on second base for quite some time before the third and final out was made in the top of the sixth inning.

1094
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:08,000
So he's throwing his court and he's ready.

1095
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:18,000
Stepping up to the plate now Alvin Dark.

1096
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:22,000
He's going 0 for 2 this afternoon. He's 2 for 6 in series play.

1097
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:32,000
Heading slightly over 300.

1098
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:34,000
Now Winn is ready. Pumps twice and throws.

1099
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:38,000
Good ball. Swung on and hit in right field. Through the hole between first and second.

1100
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:40,000
Or single.

1101
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:45,000
Alvin Dark is on. Punching one through the hole between first and second and into right.

1102
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:48,000
Now that gives the Giants their third hit.

1103
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:50,000
And sets up the situation for Don Mueller.

1104
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:55,000
Mueller's gone 0 for 2. He bounced out in the first inning to the right side to retire to side.

1105
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:57,000
Bobby Avila throwing him out.

1106
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:03,000
He retired to side in the fourth with a fly ball to right field.

1107
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:08,000
Alvin Dark steps away from first.

1108
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:10,000
Pickwards holds a corner on him.

1109
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:11,000
Now Winn checks that runner.

1110
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:14,000
Looks down to the plate. Delivers. There goes Dark to pitch a swing on.

1111
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:19,000
Hit and run. Players a foul ball. Hit off the third baseline way up into the second tier.

1112
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:23,000
A little loud strike.

1113
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:26,000
Giants playing hit and run with Alvin Dark breaking on the pitch.

1114
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:29,000
Down in the bullpen.

1115
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:34,000
Don Mossy the left-hander and Ray Narlisky the right-hander both getting warm and ready for Cleveland.

1116
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:37,000
Case Winn should have more trouble here.

1117
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:40,000
Dark strides away from first.

1118
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:44,000
Winn checks him. Looks down to play to Mueller. Pitches and it's swung on.

1119
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,000
There's a high lazy foul ball. Hit off the first baseline.

1120
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,000
That's going to fade off into the crowd out of play.

1121
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:58,000
Strike 2 on Don Mueller.

1122
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:03,000
Winn drives his hands, rubbing it down along the leg of his uniform.

1123
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:09,000
Alvin Dark steps off at first. Works. Continues to hold the inside corner against him.

1124
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:13,000
Winn ready now after a look at first. Delivers a great big curve ball. He gets away from Hagan.

1125
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:17,000
And there goes Alvin Dark breaking for second. He's going to get down there pretty easily.

1126
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:19,000
So it's going to be a wild pitch.

1127
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:22,000
A wild pitch on early Winn.

1128
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:27,000
Alvin Dark taking advantage of it. Moves on down to second.

1129
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:33,000
See in yesterday's ball game we had one wild pitch uncorked by Bob Lemon.

1130
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:38,000
So two wild pitches, both of them chalked up to Cleveland pitching. One to Lemon, now one to Winn.

1131
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:43,000
That wild pitch has placed Alvin Dark in scoring position here in the last half of the sixth inning with nobody out.

1132
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:47,000
Of course the count is one ball, two strikes now on Don Mueller.

1133
01:57:47,000 --> 01:57:51,000
Pitch tolling, a big curve ball. Don swings on it. Hits it out into right center field, left center field.

1134
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:57,000
Coming over for it is Doby. Makes the grab and fires in quickly and strictly and the Dark has to hold on at second.

1135
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:05,000
So Mueller flies to Larry Doby, left center. And here is Willie Mays.

1136
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:09,000
Willie Mays has yet to get a base hit in the 1954 World Series.

1137
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:17,000
It'll say, hey kid has been handcuffed. Of course he hasn't been handcuffed to Jimmy as far as playing that center pass too defensively, has he?

1138
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:23,000
That's for sure and you can watch this kid. He'll be getting his base hits before many more innings go by, Al. That's for sure.

1139
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:30,000
Well let's see. He's 0-1 today, fly to right in the second inning, walked in the fifth, scored the first giant run.

1140
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:37,000
And let's see what happens with him right now. Alvin Dark's in scoring position for the Giants at second with one out at the bottom of the sixth inning.

1141
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:44,000
Early win, gets ready, looks down at Willie Mays, checks his runner, then delivers the fastball. Mays swings and doesn't get it.

1142
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:48,000
Boy and he's spun all the way around.

1143
01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:55,000
As the boys in the trade would say right now, Willie is base hit hungry.

1144
01:58:55,000 --> 01:59:01,000
No balls, one strike on Willie. Right hand hitter standing three quarters deep, straightaway stance.

1145
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:11,000
Alvin Dark got a pretty good lead there at second base. Outside of the infield playing deep for Mays. Outfield fanned around left and playing very deep for him.

1146
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:16,000
Win checks his runner, delivers the fastball, Mays cuts at it again, doesn't touch it. That's strike two.

1147
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:23,000
Mays turns around, shakes his head as if to say to himself, my, what's this Mr. Win guy?

1148
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:32,000
He said the last time Willie was up, early win has gone to the fastball in pitching to Willie.

1149
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:36,000
It's pitched in tight both times and Willie's gone for it.

1150
01:59:36,000 --> 01:59:39,000
Here's the 0-2 delivery now by early win.

1151
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:43,000
Down it comes, another fastball. This one's swung and a miss for strike three.

1152
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:47,000
So that's all, he gets Willie on the fastball.

1153
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:53,000
That's the fifth strike out for early. That's the second out for the Giants here in the sixth and still Alvin Dark is on at second.

1154
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:56,000
That'll bring on Hank Thompson.

1155
01:59:56,000 --> 02:00:00,000
Little left handed hitting third baseman.

1156
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:08,000
Fly to left field in the second hitting and outside pitching and drilled one to right field to wrap in a run here this afternoon.

1157
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:11,000
Rather to get a man to third I should have said this afternoon.

1158
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:14,000
Zesty Rhodes came on to back the run in.

1159
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:18,000
Now win is set. Delivers, Thompson swings on a lead up curveball.

1160
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:25,000
One off the shoulder, misses for strike one.

1161
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:27,000
Outfield fan drastically around the right.

1162
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:35,000
This Thompson, 26 home runs this year in a regular season, hits the right field stands here pretty well.

1163
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:38,000
Win ready, checks his runner, delivers the plate, Thompson swings again.

1164
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:41,000
This one's a fastball and he doesn't get it.

1165
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:50,000
Nothing in two on Hank Thompson.

1166
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:56,000
Alvin Dark still stretching his legs down there at second as George Strickland playing almost over behind him now as the over shift is on.

1167
02:00:56,000 --> 02:01:01,000
That is moving over toward the right field line more.

1168
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:04,000
Dark can't take a lead as large as he has been taking.

1169
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:07,000
Win tries a lead up pitch on Thompson. It's high for ball one.

1170
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:12,000
One ball, two strikes.

1171
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:14,000
Two to one right now in favor of the New York Giants.

1172
02:01:14,000 --> 02:01:18,000
They're threatening to pick up an insurance run here in the last half of sixth inning.

1173
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:20,000
Alvin Dark for captain on at second base.

1174
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:23,000
He's single, was wild pitched to second.

1175
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:27,000
Bob Mueller was up there and then he promptly glided the center and May struck out.

1176
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:32,000
Pitched, Thompson is swung on. There's a slow trick road on the first base line foul.

1177
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:35,000
Quartz gobbles it up, fires it back to the mound to win.

1178
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:40,000
Count holds right on Hank Thompson. One ball, two strikes.

1179
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:51,000
Tomorrow, Gillette's Gavocative Sports moves into Cleveland, the municipal stadium, where the World Series will continue.

1180
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:54,000
Boy, that's a big ballpark out there.

1181
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:59,000
I got plenty of room to roam around.

1182
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:05,000
Center feelers probably be bringing their bicycles along with them.

1183
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:10,000
I don't think this maze needs one.

1184
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:13,000
Doby's a fast man too. These guys can cover a lot of center field for you.

1185
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:16,000
Pitch the plate now to Thompson.

1186
02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:21,000
Levels his count right off at two and two.

1187
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:23,000
Covering a little off the plate.

1188
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:25,000
Two balls, two strikes. The count on Thompson.

1189
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:31,000
Two down, one on. Last half of sixth inning. Giants leading two to one.

1190
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:37,000
Winn standing out there in the sunlight, takes his sign from Hegan.

1191
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:39,000
Big pick, chested right-hander.

1192
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:41,000
Gets set, looks at dark at second, delivers the plate.

1193
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:45,000
The fast ball is swung on and popped up. It's off to the right of the plate to foul territory.

1194
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:48,000
Hegan says he'll take it and he does take it. That's all.

1195
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:51,000
The Giants are retired here. Thompson fouling up and out to Hegan.

1196
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:54,000
And in the sixth inning.

1197
02:02:54,000 --> 02:02:56,000
In the first one, there was one base hit.

1198
02:02:56,000 --> 02:03:00,000
One man was left on, dark single, wild pitched to second, and that's where he died.

1199
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:05,000
It means that three men have been left on now, but the Giants are going to bat six times and they're leading in the ball game.

1200
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:12,000
Sir, that score with New York out in front is two to one. New York two and the Cleveland Indians one.

1201
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:18,000
Sir, I tell you that this series has certainly packed a wallop so far here at the Polo grounds.

1202
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:23,000
Well, you'll get an even bigger bang out of these broadcasts if you have the Gillette World Series record books.

1203
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:34,000
You'll get a lot of baseball information on every team and player that at the regular price as long as the supply lasts.

1204
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:36,000
Now for any number seven.

1205
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:41,000
For the Cleveland Indians, Bobby Avila, followed by Larry Dobin and by Rosen.

1206
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:45,000
Bobby Avila came into today's game with one for five hitting a 200.

1207
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:48,000
He's gone 0 for three this afternoon. He's rolled a short.

1208
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:51,000
He's fouled out to the third baseman and he forced Smith.

1209
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:56,000
In the fourth inning when Hank Thompson on a diving stop of a line shot headed for left field,

1210
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:03,000
robbed him of a base hit and came up with a play that was rather sparkling at the second base firing back to Davey Williams.

1211
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:07,000
So Bobby Avila comes up now looking for his first base hit this afternoon.

1212
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:15,000
He is one for eight. So that means he's hitting a little over 200.

1213
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:23,000
The attendance here this afternoon has just been announced at 49,000 and 99. 49,000, 99.

1214
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:28,000
First pitch to Avila. Antonelli cuts it loose, fires the fastball under the chin for ball one.

1215
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:39,000
Well, we had 52,751 yesterday and the two-day total here at the Polo grounds, 101,850.

1216
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:44,000
Antonelli gets set now, comes in with a 1-0 pitch and Avila takes it right through there for a strike.

1217
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:54,000
One ball, one strike on Avila leading off here in the seventh inning with the Indians behind 2-1.

1218
02:04:54,000 --> 02:05:02,000
Antonelli pumps once, kicks and throws. A right up pitch swung on by Avila and drilled foul down the left field line up against the wall.

1219
02:05:02,000 --> 02:05:06,000
So for Bobby his count is 1-2.

1220
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:11,000
This boy has been quite a second baseman this year for the Cleveland Indians.

1221
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:20,000
Good man, a double play combination. Good hitter. Came up with the American League batting crown this year.

1222
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:26,000
And I know several occasions we were out of Cleveland this year Bobby was the difference.

1223
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:30,000
Sparkling play defensively and offensively.

1224
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:35,000
Antonelli comes in 1-2 to Avila with the fastball and it's high outside for ball two.

1225
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:41,000
Two balls, two strikes. First man up for the Indians in the seventh, Bobby Avila.

1226
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:48,000
Antonelli has given up six base hits to the Cleveland Indians.

1227
02:05:48,000 --> 02:06:00,000
Early win is given up only three and he's behind. Fastball to Avila misses outside for ball three. So it's a 3-2 count.

1228
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:09,000
Antonelli turning his back on Avila, moves over and goes to the Rosen bag.

1229
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:15,000
Now Johnny after having dried his hand across his uniform blouse, goes down for the Rosen bag.

1230
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:19,000
Steps up there to take the sign off his battery mate West Westman.

1231
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:23,000
Getting ready to fire the 3-2 pitch in here to Bobby Avila.

1232
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:27,000
Outfield playing straight away and not too deep although Avila can't hit the long ball.

1233
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:33,000
Pitch is to him low for ball four. So there's the tying run for Cleveland on here in the top of the seventh inning.

1234
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:36,000
That's the fifth base on balls given up by Antonelli.

1235
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:42,000
And before we have the next batter up there, Larry Dolby, let's pause ten seconds for station identification.

1236
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:45,000
This is Mutual, the radio network for all America.

1237
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:56,000
And this is your exclusive World Series station in Chicago, WGN.

1238
02:06:56,000 --> 02:07:00,000
Well let's see here with Larry Dolby coming up to the plate, we can go back to the fifth inning.

1239
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:03,000
When early wind walked the first man in the inning and it was fatal to him.

1240
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:06,000
Let's see if history is going to repeat itself in this particular case.

1241
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:08,000
Bobby Avila brave fleet of foot on the bases.

1242
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:13,000
Larry Dolby takes the first pitch from Antonelli, a sidearm fastball. It's inside for ball one.

1243
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:18,000
Larry Dolby is a pretty good hit and run man and with Avila on, it's figured that they may be gone.

1244
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:23,000
Larry Dolby is a pretty good hit and run man and with Avila on, it's figured that they may be gone.

1245
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:27,000
In time it's called when Leo DeRosha comes out to talk to Johnny Antonelli.

1246
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:30,000
Now very rarely does Leo DeRosha lift a pitcher.

1247
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:33,000
He usually comes out and imparts words of wisdom.

1248
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:40,000
Ordinarily when Freddie Fitzsimmons comes out, you'll have a change of pitchers, but not so many times with Leo DeRosha.

1249
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:48,000
However, down in the bullpen he's got left-hander Wendy McCall ready along with right-hander Hoyt Wilhelm.

1250
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:51,000
Walks past Johnny Antonelli, says something to him.

1251
02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:54,000
DeRosha kicked the dirt out of the pitcher's mound.

1252
02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:59,000
He's got to make his mind up. He has the first guess and that's the only one he's got.

1253
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:02,000
It's the same as manager Lopez has the first guess with Cleveland.

1254
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:04,000
That's the one that has to stake.

1255
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:10,000
That's what makes a manager's job in baseball particularly difficult, because he doesn't get a chance to second guess himself.

1256
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:12,000
Now the umpires come over and say,

1257
02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:15,000
Boys, don't you think we ought to keep the old ball game going?

1258
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:17,000
And they say, Yes sir, we believe so.

1259
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:20,000
So Leo DeRosha comes stomping back behind the plate with his catcher Westroom.

1260
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:23,000
And Johnny Antonelli is going to stay in the ball game.

1261
02:08:23,000 --> 02:08:25,000
So DeRosha comes on over to the giant bench.

1262
02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:30,000
Westroom back behind the plate. Larry Doby steps in. He has the count of one ball, no strikes.

1263
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:34,000
Going to the top of the seventh inning. Bobby Avila having been walked is on it first.

1264
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:38,000
Widy Lockman with a left-hand hitter up there is part way back to his fielding depth behind first.

1265
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:40,000
He's not holding Avila on too closely.

1266
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:45,000
Now Antonelli ready. Delivers an overhand fastball. Forward in there under the knees. That's ball two.

1267
02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:53,000
Johnny Antonelli realizing that the tying run is at first base.

1268
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:57,000
Seems to be pressing a little bit right now as he's pitching to Larry Doby.

1269
02:08:57,000 --> 02:09:01,000
Here's a guy that led the Cleveland Indians and the American League in RBI's.

1270
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:04,000
Hit that long ball for you, but definitely.

1271
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:07,000
Antonelli throws. A lot of fastball. Swing on and hit down to Widy Lockman.

1272
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:09,000
It bounces off his chest. He picks it up.

1273
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:12,000
He's only passed a step on first base to get Larry Doby who slides in there and is out.

1274
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:16,000
In doing so, Bobby Avila, the tying run, moves down to second.

1275
02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:22,000
Doby gave that to College Try. He was going to try to get in there and even slid to try to make it.

1276
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:26,000
So Doby is out to Widy Lockman unassisted.

1277
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:29,000
The ball that almost had Widy completely handcuffed.

1278
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:32,000
Bobby Avila who can really streak is over at second.

1279
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:36,000
And he's representing the tying run now for Cleveland in this 2-1 ball game.

1280
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:40,000
Now Rosen comes up. He's had one hit this afternoon in two official times.

1281
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:45,000
He's back in the first, rolled out to short in the third, and singled to right in the fifth.

1282
02:09:45,000 --> 02:09:48,000
Fred Kress implores him to get on. See what happens.

1283
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:51,000
Here's a guy that can really hit that ball, snap it with his wrist.

1284
02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:54,000
He proved that in the All-Star game when he poked a tremendous home run.

1285
02:09:54,000 --> 02:09:57,000
Takes the first pitch, laid through there for a strike.

1286
02:09:57,000 --> 02:10:03,000
Antonelli went to the fastball.

1287
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:08,000
First half of the seventh inning. Tying run at second for Cleveland.

1288
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:10,000
2-1 ball game favor the Giants.

1289
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:15,000
Johnny Antonelli knows he's got trouble now.

1290
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:18,000
Checks his runner back at second. That's Avila.

1291
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:23,000
Comes in with an overhand fastball. At the knees, good first strike.

1292
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:27,000
Nothing into the count on Flip Rosen.

1293
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:31,000
Now playing in this series with a bad five.

1294
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:37,000
Doby has been bunged up a little bit too.

1295
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:40,000
Gets the meat end of the bat down on the home plate.

1296
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:42,000
Chokes up slightly on the handle. Gets his feet set well.

1297
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:47,000
Pulls his trousers up. He wants to be in position to get going as much as he can.

1298
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:49,000
Got his no balls, two strikes on him.

1299
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Johnny Antonelli, the giant pitcher, taking plenty of time by pitching to Rosen.

1300
02:10:54,000 --> 02:11:00,000
Realizes that Flipper's a tough customer.

1301
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:03,000
Now Antonelli sets, delivers the plate. Rosen swings, hits the bounding ball right back to the mound.

1302
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:05,000
And they have Avila trapped off.

1303
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:08,000
Moving off to second to third base now, Hank Thompson trying to run him down.

1304
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:11,000
Has to flip back to Davy Williams who tags him out.

1305
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:14,000
And Rosen is on it first.

1306
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:19,000
So that play goes from the pitcher to the third baseman to the second baseman.

1307
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:22,000
Doby Avila was trapped off.

1308
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:29,000
So the fielder's choice on the play puts Rosen on at first base.

1309
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:36,000
Johnny Antonelli tossing over to Hank Thompson who flips back to Davy Williams for the run down.

1310
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:39,000
Now that's a second out.

1311
02:11:39,000 --> 02:11:45,000
And it's doubly important as far as the Giants are concerned because a real fast man has been taken off the bases now.

1312
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:50,000
And Rosen, who isn't as fast as Avila and still has slowed down even more by the fact he has a pulled thigh muscle,

1313
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:53,000
has been moved back actually at base and he's on it first.

1314
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:56,000
But the tying run is still on for Cleveland here in the seventh with two down.

1315
02:11:56,000 --> 02:12:01,000
And up to the plate comes Victor Wirtz who was the hero of yesterday's ball game as far as Cleveland was concerned.

1316
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:05,000
Vic today is hitting right this minute at 714.

1317
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:12,000
Antonelli realizing a tough man's up there delivers a fast ball and gets it in there over the fifth good first strike.

1318
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:22,000
Wirtz walked in the first inning, singled the center in the third and flied the left in the fifth.

1319
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:31,000
Of the three runs batted in for Cleveland, Victor Wirtz has two of them. He got them yesterday.

1320
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:38,000
Rosen with the slight lead at first base while he locked them back to his fielding depth, partially back to it with a left-hand hitter up there.

1321
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:44,000
In comes the pitch. Wirtz after it hits a foul off the handle of the bat. It scoots back to the screen for a strike two.

1322
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:50,000
Time is called for the moment while Westrom gets the ball out to the mound.

1323
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:56,000
Westrom steps out in front of the plate and shouts something out to Johnny Antonelli.

1324
02:12:56,000 --> 02:12:59,000
Left-hander grinds that ball around to the palms of his hands.

1325
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:10,000
Westrom smooths out third at home plate and Victor Wirtz steps back in with these overly closed fans.

1326
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:15,000
Rosen about to take his lead off at first base. They're two down for the Indians here in the top half.

1327
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:20,000
Of any number seven, a two-to-one ball game in favor of the Giants. They won yesterday's ball game.

1328
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:29,000
They're bidding for the second one here. Antonelli checks his runner, delivers to the plate and Wirtz takes high right up to the cap.

1329
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:36,000
Victor sort of fell back from that one, went down on one hand just to make sure he was far enough away from it.

1330
02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:41,000
Count on Victor, one ball, two strikes.

1331
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:47,000
Still the two pitchers are throwing down in the Giants bullpen, John McCall and Hoyt Wilhelm.

1332
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:54,000
Now Antonelli wheels in the one-two delivery. Wirtz takes it. It's just inside by Shea.

1333
02:13:54,000 --> 02:14:00,000
Two balls, two strikes. Rick had to have a pretty good eye to take that one.

1334
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:08,000
Charlie Barry right over the shoulder of Westrom called it immediately. Two balls, two strikes.

1335
02:14:08,000 --> 02:14:17,000
The tempo of the game here has slowed down considerably. Probably the humidity and the heat has had something to do with it.

1336
02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:24,000
Outfield around the right and deep for Wirtz. He'll clobber that ball for you if you pitch it down the alley for him.

1337
02:14:24,000 --> 02:14:28,000
Davy Williams playing back on the rim of the right field grass.

1338
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:35,000
Alvin Dark just a couple of steps off the second base on the third base side.

1339
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:39,000
Hank Thompson playing almost where Alvin Dark usually plays.

1340
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:44,000
And still the complete over shift is not on for Vic Wirtz.

1341
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:48,000
Now Antonelli ready with these two-two delivery. Two outs, one on here in the seventh inning.

1342
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:51,000
Down comes the pitch. Wirtz swings. There's a high foul ball hit off the third baseline.

1343
02:14:51,000 --> 02:14:55,000
It's fading over near the stands. Thompson cannot get it as he charges over for it.

1344
02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:58,000
It drops into the stands out of play.

1345
02:14:58,000 --> 02:15:04,000
Two balls, two strikes. The count on Vic Wirtz. He still has his batting life up there.

1346
02:15:04,000 --> 02:15:10,000
I can imagine Jimmy has noticed the same thing I've noticed in the playing of the first two games of this World Series.

1347
02:15:10,000 --> 02:15:14,000
That everything is being done so very deliberately. Have you noticed that, Jim?

1348
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:19,000
You certainly do, Al. Almost as if the boys want to be overcautious in their work.

1349
02:15:19,000 --> 02:15:22,000
Sort of as though they were working off a script.

1350
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:29,000
Well, let's see what Johnny Antonelli is going to deal off now to Victor Wirtz here in the top of the seventh inning with two outs and Al Rosen at first.

1351
02:15:29,000 --> 02:15:31,000
He's representing the tying run in this two-one ball game.

1352
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:36,000
John's leading. Antonelli fires away at the play-to-side-arm curve.

1353
02:15:36,000 --> 02:15:43,000
Outside, Nets ball three. Came in with his crossfire and missed it.

1354
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:46,000
So Al Rosen will be moving down in first base now.

1355
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:52,000
Vic Wirtz will be looking this one over well and Antonelli will be trying to pour it in there.

1356
02:15:52,000 --> 02:15:59,000
This could be the pitch. One never knows.

1357
02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:01,000
Johnny straddle the pitcher's rubber.

1358
02:16:01,000 --> 02:16:03,000
Monkeys around with his cap.

1359
02:16:03,000 --> 02:16:07,000
Then nods in agreement to the sign offered by West Westrom.

1360
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:11,000
Vic Wirtz standing just off the plate gets ready. Al Rosen takes his lead.

1361
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:13,000
He should be running this time or probably will be.

1362
02:16:13,000 --> 02:16:17,000
Yep, there he goes. The pitch is made swung on by Wirtz and hit foul right back to the screen.

1363
02:16:17,000 --> 02:16:23,000
Al Rosen, limping slightly, comes on back to first base.

1364
02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:29,000
And remains on Victor Wirtz at three and two.

1365
02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:33,000
Fred Kress turns and says something to Jocko Carlin, the first base umpire.

1366
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:39,000
Something that makes the Irishman break out and smiles.

1367
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:41,000
That's about the only place you'll see a smile.

1368
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:46,000
Almost every other face on the ball damn it is serious right now.

1369
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:47,000
Now we're set.

1370
02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:54,000
Three two pitch now to Victor Wirtz as the runner breaks a slow curve ball inside and half for ball four.

1371
02:16:54,000 --> 02:16:58,000
So Antonelli loses Wirtz and he's got to go to Westlake now.

1372
02:16:58,000 --> 02:17:03,000
The walk to Wirtz places Al Rosen down in second base.

1373
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:06,000
That's based on balls number six given up by Antonelli.

1374
02:17:06,000 --> 02:17:09,000
He passed 95 in the National League.

1375
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:12,000
I think we might have a runner for Al Rosen right now.

1376
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:16,000
Looks as though Rudy Regalado is coming in to run for Al Rosen.

1377
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:18,000
Yep he is.

1378
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:20,000
Rosen comes out, Regalado goes in to run.

1379
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:32,000
The pressure plays for the Indian number eight Rudy Regalado running for Rosen.

1380
02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:39,000
If you recall Al Rosen was on at second base in the first inning and could get no further than third on a single hit by Wally Westlake.

1381
02:17:39,000 --> 02:17:42,000
Had he been at full strength he might have been able to score on it.

1382
02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:48,000
Although Willie Mays did throw a fine strike in as Jimmy told you from center field into the plate.

1383
02:17:48,000 --> 02:17:50,000
Regalado is running here in the seventh inning four rows.

1384
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:54,000
It means we'll have a new third baseman for Cleveland in the last half of the seventh.

1385
02:17:54,000 --> 02:18:01,000
Wally Westlake up there with runners at first and second two down tied through at the waist for a strike.

1386
02:18:01,000 --> 02:18:07,000
Of nine opportunities Wirtz has had in this series he's been on base seven times.

1387
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:10,000
I guess that's almost par for the course.

1388
02:18:10,000 --> 02:18:17,000
Regalado leads off at second or it steps away from first not being held on the second occupied and two down.

1389
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:22,000
Westlake has the count of no balls one strike on a count play.

1390
02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:32,000
Johnny Antonelli wheels around and is about to throw back the second but there's no one there to cover and he just bluffed the throw back and Regalado streaked back in.

1391
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:34,000
Two down and the top of the seventh.

1392
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:42,000
Cleveland still alive and kicking here hoping they'll be able to tie this ball game up which stands right now two to one in favor of the Giants.

1393
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:45,000
Now Antonelli sets Regalado leads at second.

1394
02:18:45,000 --> 02:18:51,000
Here comes Antonelli's throw to the plate to Westlake it's outside and a bluff throw down to second has Regalado hurrying back.

1395
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:54,000
So Westlake's count is one ball and one strike.

1396
02:18:54,000 --> 02:19:08,000
This is the same Wally Westlake who put in quite a bit of time as a star outfielder with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

1397
02:19:08,000 --> 02:19:14,000
Westlake picks that through the chest and shoulders has a lot of power when he gets a hold of that ball.

1398
02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:23,000
Antonelli comes in with one one it's a slow curve let up outside for ball two.

1399
02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:32,000
Wally Westlake was the first Indian this year to hit a home run when regular season started.

1400
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:36,000
Pretty strong wrists and forearms.

1401
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:42,000
Antonelli asks Westlake for the sign again and gets it.

1402
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:45,000
Two balls one strike count on Westlake two down two on.

1403
02:19:45,000 --> 02:19:49,000
Antonelli delivers an overhand curve Westlake swings on it hits a bounding ball a short.

1404
02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:54,000
Dark comes in picks up his first base in time to Wally Loughman and that's all for Cleveland.

1405
02:19:54,000 --> 02:19:58,000
Westlake bounces out from short to first to retire to side.

1406
02:19:58,000 --> 02:20:02,000
And here in the seventh inning for Cleveland a big threat set up by a walk.

1407
02:20:02,000 --> 02:20:05,000
There's some things off.

1408
02:20:05,000 --> 02:20:07,000
Doesn't materialize.

1409
02:20:07,000 --> 02:20:09,000
No runs there were no base hits.

1410
02:20:09,000 --> 02:20:11,000
There were no errors and two men were left on.

1411
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:16,000
Eleven men have been left on in this ball game this afternoon by Cleveland in going to bat seven times.

1412
02:20:16,000 --> 02:20:39,000
And the score at the end of six and one half innings of play now remains the New York Giants two and the Cleveland Indians one.

1413
02:20:39,000 --> 02:20:43,000
Whether you wear overalls or sport a coronet.

1414
02:20:43,000 --> 02:20:46,000
You don't get by a finer blade.

1415
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:54,000
Two shining edges super key mean shaving you.

1416
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:57,000
And lots more speedy shapes for blade.

1417
02:20:57,000 --> 02:21:00,000
So spark them by.

1418
02:21:00,000 --> 02:21:04,000
Every time you shave to feel sharp.

1419
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:07,000
And beyond the ball just be sharp.

1420
02:21:07,000 --> 02:21:15,000
And you'll like to play for the quick and quick to change.

1421
02:21:15,000 --> 02:21:20,000
Now the last half of the seventh inning early wind goes back out.

1422
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:30,000
For the Cleveland Indians we have a change at third base regular who came in to run for Al Rose has taken over for him at third here in my staff seven burning.

1423
02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:43,000
Eleven men as we said have been left on by Cleveland at least one each inning they had 13 yesterday 13 yesterday and 11 today for a total of 24 so far.

1424
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:48,000
Johnny Antonelli has cracked down on 33 at the Cleveland batsman.

1425
02:21:48,000 --> 02:21:56,000
Now early wind is ready to face Dusty Rhodes who blooped that single in the center drive in a run when he came in as a pinch bat in the fifth inning from Marty Irvin.

1426
02:21:56,000 --> 02:22:06,000
First pitch to the big fellow is a lot of curveball on a miss for strike one.

1427
02:22:06,000 --> 02:22:08,000
I went taking a song from Hagen.

1428
02:22:08,000 --> 02:22:10,000
A lot of playing a shallow third.

1429
02:22:10,000 --> 02:22:20,000
In comes the curveball swung on there is a high foul ball hit off the first base line that's going to fade off into the customers out of playing strike to account on Dusty Rhodes.

1430
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:32,000
Rhodes has to put to in the series one for one this afternoon but both of those hits and pinch hit rolls.

1431
02:22:32,000 --> 02:22:37,000
Now in a set comes in on to with an overhand curveball it's high up at the cap.

1432
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:45,000
That's one ball and two strikes to Dusty Rhodes.

1433
02:22:45,000 --> 02:22:51,000
He moves back a step or two at third base took over for Al Rosen here in the last half of seventh inning.

1434
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:55,000
The only change in Atlanta for Cleveland.

1435
02:22:55,000 --> 02:23:01,000
When pumps methodically and delivers a fastball stairs that was up above the shoulders.

1436
02:23:01,000 --> 02:23:06,000
Two balls two strikes to left hand hitter.

1437
02:23:06,000 --> 02:23:14,000
First giant up in the last half of the seventh inning two to one ball game in favor of the Giants over Cleveland and a ball game that can jump either way.

1438
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:17,000
Two to pitch by early win overhand curves.

1439
02:23:17,000 --> 02:23:20,000
It might be.

1440
02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:44,000
There it goes over the right field wall and.

1441
02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:55,000
Home run but after all it was a cheap home run but I got news for you this one sure wasn't Mr. Dunn that was hit outside of this park.

1442
02:23:55,000 --> 02:23:59,000
That is hit number four on number three off when the Giants lead three.

1443
02:23:59,000 --> 02:24:04,000
Go on the pitch the plate now to baby William is high and on the inside for ball one.

1444
02:24:04,000 --> 02:24:06,000
This does the road is on a personal.

1445
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:09,000
Home run been.

1446
02:24:09,000 --> 02:24:15,000
You got two runs batted in here this afternoon the second home run of the series the Giants second.

1447
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:21,000
It's the David Williams again how that's ball to.

1448
02:24:21,000 --> 02:24:30,000
Well when you look back on the nineteen hundred and fifty four world series you'll think of road Williams after a fast curve I'll get it.

1449
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:38,000
That's like one.

1450
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:45,000
You know something only two extra base hits by the Giants and these two games and roads has both of them both home runs.

1451
02:24:45,000 --> 02:24:53,000
Early win delivers Williams takes there is a fastball outside of all three great awesome one strike.

1452
02:24:53,000 --> 02:25:03,000
Delving into the joint world series record book here to find out something about home runs find out a roof geeks and Snyder share the record for home runs in the world series.

1453
02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:05,000
Here's a guy's got a pair of.

1454
02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:10,000
He's got a chance to pitch the plate on number Williams there's a high pop up out in front of the plate.

1455
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:19,000
He can say go away boys I got it and he has fine character that Hagen Williams pops up and out to the catcher in front of the plate Jim Hagen.

1456
02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:25,000
Down the bullpen we've got an R.L.S. game and Marcy up thrown again for Cleveland.

1457
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:31,000
One out here for the Giants last half the seventh the batter coming up is West West from.

1458
02:25:31,000 --> 02:25:36,000
He's like the left and walk in that order.

1459
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:41,000
Early when ready to pitch to him.

1460
02:25:41,000 --> 02:25:55,000
Starts his motion big fellow rares back throws an overhand curve at swung on by West ball back to strike one what seems to like to go for that low curve ball a lot down around the knees.

1461
02:25:55,000 --> 02:25:56,000
Nothing in one.

1462
02:25:56,000 --> 02:26:07,000
The Giants leading the ball game three to one that's the roads any second series home run as the leadoff man here in the seventh inning Western swings and fastball and doesn't get it and strike two.

1463
02:26:07,000 --> 02:26:21,000
Really part of this one all the way over the top of the Pavilion roof and out of the park.

1464
02:26:21,000 --> 02:26:35,000
When sets on the old to pitch no balls to strike comes down to Western with a little curve into the dirt Western has ball one strike two now.

1465
02:26:35,000 --> 02:26:40,000
Last half the seventh inning.

1466
02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:46,000
Second game the World Series and Polo grounds in New York City and Giants of Battlin.

1467
02:26:46,000 --> 02:27:00,000
One to pitch by early when the swing on a long drive into left center field a well hit ball going way back back up against the board the catches made by Al Smith about four hundred and fifteen feet away from home plate.

1468
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:06,000
And that ball was really given a long ride. Al Smith had a play just perfectly.

1469
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:14,000
We have two outs here in the seventh inning at Western's really been a proper net apple in this series.

1470
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:26,000
A round of applause for West despite the fact he was out on a long fly ball and here comes Johnny Antonelli up now and he'll probably get a round of applause also.

1471
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:35,000
Yep. I'm really getting out of the closet.

1472
02:27:35,000 --> 02:27:41,000
I'm going to be hitting my pan is gone over to this afternoon and slide out the right and forced a man in that order.

1473
02:27:41,000 --> 02:27:48,000
When delivers to him throws the fastball outside and high for ball one.

1474
02:27:48,000 --> 02:27:57,000
Standing like this dusty road seems to be made to order for the strategic moves of one Leo de Rocher.

1475
02:27:57,000 --> 02:28:04,000
That curveball whistles inside off and he caps to Antonelli for ball to the ball no strikes.

1476
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:12,000
And clear appearances by this guy roads in this series he's had three base hits and has driven in five rounds.

1477
02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:21,000
Antonelli strides into a fastball and then takes it high.

1478
02:28:21,000 --> 02:28:30,000
So the eight runs batted into the Giants roads having five I guess you'd definitely say he was tough man on the totem pole.

1479
02:28:30,000 --> 02:28:33,000
The three and 0 pitch the plate is a fastball lead through for a strike.

1480
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:41,000
So Antonelli's count now is three and one.

1481
02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:46,000
He's got it in a single series.

1482
02:28:46,000 --> 02:28:54,000
Such a swung on there is a high pop fly going into a very short right field Bobby Abela gets back under it and makes the catch to retire the side.

1483
02:28:54,000 --> 02:29:02,000
So that's all the seventh inning for the Giants but they do pick up a home run which gives them one run here in the seventh inning on that one base hit.

1484
02:29:02,000 --> 02:29:03,000
There were no errors.

1485
02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:04,000
Nobody was left.

1486
02:29:04,000 --> 02:29:11,000
And the score at the end of seven full innings of play now is the New York Giants three the Cleveland Indians one.

1487
02:29:11,000 --> 02:29:14,000
Let's say looking into the eighth inning George Strickland is going to be the first man up.

1488
02:29:14,000 --> 02:29:16,000
He's going to lead off at the Indians.

1489
02:29:16,000 --> 02:29:20,000
Well do you know what he has done at that so far in this game.

1490
02:29:20,000 --> 02:29:24,000
If you're keeping your own scorecard with us you know that he has gone over three.

1491
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:26,000
It's fun and easy to score like a pro.

1492
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:29,000
The Gillette World Series record book shows you how to do it.

1493
02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:35,000
It's free with the one piece to that razor at the regular price.

1494
02:29:35,000 --> 02:29:37,000
George Strickland.

1495
02:29:37,000 --> 02:29:40,000
Hagen and early winner of pinch batter.

1496
02:29:40,000 --> 02:29:43,000
It's a three to one ball game in favor of the New York Giants.

1497
02:29:43,000 --> 02:29:49,000
They have three runs and strange enough on the forehead still have one of which has been a home run.

1498
02:29:49,000 --> 02:29:52,000
Off early win.

1499
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:54,000
And they have committed no errors this afternoon.

1500
02:29:54,000 --> 02:29:57,000
They did pop up with three yesterday.

1501
02:29:57,000 --> 02:29:59,000
A pair of home runs in this ball game.

1502
02:29:59,000 --> 02:30:04,000
Smith for Cleveland leading off in the first inning and now Dusty Rhodes here in the seventh.

1503
02:30:04,000 --> 02:30:06,000
Boost the total for the Giants to three.

1504
02:30:06,000 --> 02:30:09,000
Three to one ball game stepping into the eighth inning.

1505
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:11,000
George Strickland will be out there in a moment.

1506
02:30:11,000 --> 02:30:15,000
Johnny Anthony throwing a few warm up pitches down.

1507
02:30:15,000 --> 02:30:17,000
Looks as though we're going to have a pinch batter though for Strickland.

1508
02:30:17,000 --> 02:30:19,000
Dave Philly.

1509
02:30:19,000 --> 02:30:23,000
Dave Philly is going to come on the bat for Strickland.

1510
02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:34,000
Where's the announcement for him?

1511
02:30:34,000 --> 02:30:40,000
Dave Philly from Paris, Texas, a switch hitter who started yesterday's ball game in right field.

1512
02:30:40,000 --> 02:30:45,000
Here's coming on Dave Philly hit on the season this year two hundred and twenty six.

1513
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:48,000
And in yesterday's ball game Philly went over three.

1514
02:30:48,000 --> 02:30:53,000
So he has no batting percentage as far as this one is concerned.

1515
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:57,000
Philly coming on to open the eighth inning for the Cleveland Indians here.

1516
02:30:57,000 --> 02:31:00,000
They're behind by a pair of runs.

1517
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:08,000
Score three to one and pay for the Giants.

1518
02:31:08,000 --> 02:31:14,000
We started talking about the RBI.

1519
02:31:14,000 --> 02:31:15,000
In a single series.

1520
02:31:15,000 --> 02:31:16,000
The record being held.

1521
02:31:16,000 --> 02:31:19,000
It's being held by has been held for quite some time by Gary.

1522
02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:22,000
The first pitch here to the plate is a fastball high.

1523
02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:25,000
Philly for ball one.

1524
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:28,000
Got a left handed activity out in the bullpen.

1525
02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:30,000
That'll be Don Mossy probably.

1526
02:31:30,000 --> 02:31:32,000
That right Jim, Don Mossy.

1527
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:35,000
That's Philly swings on the next pitch and hits a foul back to the screen.

1528
02:31:35,000 --> 02:31:41,000
Count as one ball one strike on him.

1529
02:31:41,000 --> 02:31:44,000
Left handed on Mossy in the bullpen for Cleveland.

1530
02:31:44,000 --> 02:31:50,000
Which leads us to believe that the early win will be lifted for a pinch batter.

1531
02:31:50,000 --> 02:31:57,000
Particularly if either Philly batting out for Strickland should get on or Hegan.

1532
02:31:57,000 --> 02:32:00,000
Johnny Antonelli going down in his delivery.

1533
02:32:00,000 --> 02:32:02,000
Right side of the ball game.

1534
02:32:02,000 --> 02:32:05,000
Get set, comes in now one and one to the pinch batter.

1535
02:32:05,000 --> 02:32:09,000
Deliveries run up, curve in their low for ball two.

1536
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:12,000
Two balls, one strike.

1537
02:32:12,000 --> 02:32:15,000
Half of the eighth.

1538
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:20,000
Ball crops well in train tonight for Cleveland.

1539
02:32:20,000 --> 02:32:27,000
Fastball fired to the plate is outside by shade and runs Philly's count to three and one.

1540
02:32:27,000 --> 02:32:34,000
Tomorrow at municipal stadium in Cleveland, the left Cavalcade of sports moves the mutual microphone over there.

1541
02:32:34,000 --> 02:32:38,000
Jimmy and I will be with you again from Cleveland for the opening game out there.

1542
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:40,000
And all Cleveland is looking forward to it.

1543
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:44,000
Coming in from miles around for the three one pitch to Philly is over.

1544
02:32:44,000 --> 02:32:47,000
Right under the letters for called strike two.

1545
02:32:47,000 --> 02:32:58,000
Three balls and two strikes.

1546
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:00,000
Philly moves that bat back and forth easily.

1547
02:33:00,000 --> 02:33:02,000
Antonelli now three two's in.

1548
02:33:02,000 --> 02:33:05,000
Put the phone on, there's a high foul ball hit off to the right of the plate.

1549
02:33:05,000 --> 02:33:09,000
That's going to come into the second tier out of play.

1550
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:14,000
And the ball for Dave Philly at three and two.

1551
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:15,000
We've lost the sunlight here again.

1552
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:17,000
It's starting to get a little dark.

1553
02:33:17,000 --> 02:33:20,000
We've had a threatening day.

1554
02:33:20,000 --> 02:33:22,000
I should have said a threatening afternoon.

1555
02:33:22,000 --> 02:33:27,000
We did have misty cold rain this morning and most of the night.

1556
02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:30,000
But still this field is in very fine shape.

1557
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:35,000
We'll take care of it.

1558
02:33:35,000 --> 02:33:36,000
Antonelli's ready now.

1559
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:39,000
He's free to deliver.

1560
02:33:39,000 --> 02:33:40,000
It's a fastball.

1561
02:33:40,000 --> 02:33:41,000
Come on.

1562
02:33:41,000 --> 02:33:44,000
And this is a strike three.

1563
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:48,000
So Antonelli gets strike out number seven.

1564
02:33:48,000 --> 02:33:51,000
And Cleveland has one man out here in the top of the eighth.

1565
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:53,000
Jim Hagan who has had one for free this afternoon.

1566
02:33:53,000 --> 02:33:56,000
One for seven for the entire series.

1567
02:33:56,000 --> 02:33:59,000
Steps in.

1568
02:33:59,000 --> 02:34:03,000
All defendable catchers Cleveland.

1569
02:34:03,000 --> 02:34:07,000
Faces Antonelli with one out nobody on here in the eighth inning.

1570
02:34:07,000 --> 02:34:10,000
Three to one in favor of the Giants.

1571
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:12,000
Antonelli whistled the first pitch in.

1572
02:34:12,000 --> 02:34:20,000
The fastball poured through at the knees for a called strike.

1573
02:34:20,000 --> 02:34:21,000
Cleveland started out in the first inning.

1574
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:26,000
He looked as though they were going to clobber Antonelli but good.

1575
02:34:26,000 --> 02:34:31,000
And as the boys in the business say he got over the hump in the first inning.

1576
02:34:31,000 --> 02:34:34,000
He's been pretty tough ever since.

1577
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:35,000
Levee is a light up curve.

1578
02:34:35,000 --> 02:34:38,000
One on a foul back to the screen by Hagan.

1579
02:34:38,000 --> 02:34:40,000
Right in the press box.

1580
02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:47,000
Got away from three men in the press box with a television camera manor right back out on the field.

1581
02:34:47,000 --> 02:34:54,000
That is known as the elusive baseball.

1582
02:34:54,000 --> 02:35:00,000
When you see a baseball do tricks like that it's what makes you believe there might be a rabbit in the ball after all.

1583
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:03,000
There's no football advances crazily.

1584
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:07,000
Baseball will too.

1585
02:35:07,000 --> 02:35:10,000
Johnny Antonelli with a new ball to work with is ready to pitch.

1586
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:12,000
Oh and third to Jim Hagan.

1587
02:35:12,000 --> 02:35:14,000
One out nobody on top of the eighth for Cleveland.

1588
02:35:14,000 --> 02:35:19,000
Antonelli delivers sidearm curve that is outside at ball one.

1589
02:35:19,000 --> 02:35:31,000
One ball and two strikes.

1590
02:35:31,000 --> 02:35:33,000
Hagan, foul and slender leans over the plate.

1591
02:35:33,000 --> 02:35:35,000
Feet wide spread apart.

1592
02:35:35,000 --> 02:35:38,000
Antonelli after pumping twice offers him the one two pitch.

1593
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:39,000
A curve.

1594
02:35:39,000 --> 02:35:45,000
One on a miss to take three.

1595
02:35:45,000 --> 02:35:48,000
Strikeout number eight for Antonelli.

1596
02:35:48,000 --> 02:35:52,000
Hagan brings up early winter to pitch better.

1597
02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:57,000
And it's going to be Hank Maget.

1598
02:35:57,000 --> 02:36:06,000
Carl Erskine you know just last year set the strikeout record in the World Series play.

1599
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:15,000
And looking down here the pitchers record so forth in the North World Series record book you can find Carl Erskine's name.

1600
02:36:15,000 --> 02:36:21,000
So you can check up on me on that. Carl Erskine had 14 strikeouts.

1601
02:36:21,000 --> 02:36:24,000
That is the record.

1602
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:28,000
Hank Maget now batting for early win.

1603
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:30,000
Antonelli throws to this batting.

1604
02:36:30,000 --> 02:36:32,000
Pitcher swung on. There's a bowling ball hit by Alvin Dark.

1605
02:36:32,000 --> 02:36:34,000
It bounces off. He just picks it up close to first.

1606
02:36:34,000 --> 02:36:36,000
Just in time they've got him.

1607
02:36:36,000 --> 02:36:40,000
Just in time. That was one of those eyelash plays.

1608
02:36:40,000 --> 02:36:46,000
Alvin Dark almost had that ball get away from him.

1609
02:36:46,000 --> 02:36:50,000
Nothing across here in the eighth inning.

1610
02:36:50,000 --> 02:36:53,000
And the score at the end of seven and one half an inch of play remains.

1611
02:36:53,000 --> 02:36:57,000
The New York Giants three the Cleveland Indians one.

1612
02:36:57,000 --> 02:37:03,000
Remind if I take just a few seconds with you guys out there who use the free-face pete's to let go.

1613
02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:07,000
So far as all our comfort is concerned you're doing okay by your face.

1614
02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:15,000
That's for sure. But for speed and convenience well the free-face honestly is just not in the same class with a modern one-piece Gillette Super Speed.

1615
02:37:15,000 --> 02:37:20,000
For that matter no other shaving instrument even compares with its precision-made Gillette.

1616
02:37:20,000 --> 02:37:26,000
There's nothing to take apart. You change blades in the flesh. To clean just rinse.

1617
02:37:26,000 --> 02:37:30,000
What shave you get. Clean, comfortable, good-looking. They never miss.

1618
02:37:30,000 --> 02:37:33,000
You really ought to try the Gillette Super Speed.

1619
02:37:33,000 --> 02:37:37,000
One dollar buys it complete with travel case and blue blade dispenser.

1620
02:37:37,000 --> 02:37:44,000
And the enlarged 112 page backfill Gillette World Series record book is included free.

1621
02:37:44,000 --> 02:37:48,000
Shortstop batting the number seven position Sam Denny.

1622
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:52,000
Here in the eighth inning and Don Mossie is going to be your pitcher.

1623
02:37:52,000 --> 02:37:55,000
Denny appearing here for the second time.

1624
02:37:55,000 --> 02:38:01,000
Comes over and takes the shortstop job in the eighth inning. Strictly was lifted for a pinch batter.

1625
02:38:01,000 --> 02:38:08,000
Of course as you know Majestie batted for Wynn in the top half of the eighth inning.

1626
02:38:08,000 --> 02:38:11,000
Wynn is out of the ball game now and coming on is Mossie.

1627
02:38:11,000 --> 02:38:23,000
Round of applause for early Wynn ladies and gentlemen as he makes a long walk to the Cleveland Clubhouse.

1628
02:38:23,000 --> 02:38:33,000
Early Wynn here this afternoon in pitching seven innings to the New York Giants gave up three runs on four base hits.

1629
02:38:33,000 --> 02:38:37,000
He walked one man, struck out five and wild pitched one time.

1630
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:40,000
Now let's see we're going to check up on that and make absolutely certain.

1631
02:38:40,000 --> 02:38:48,000
As far as walks are concerned for early Wynn he walked two. Walked two. Thank you Jim.

1632
02:38:48,000 --> 02:38:57,000
So taking over now is left-hander Don Mossie. M-O-S-S-I.

1633
02:38:57,000 --> 02:39:00,000
Don Mossie ready to pitch to Wiley-Lockman standing in at the plate.

1634
02:39:00,000 --> 02:39:14,000
He throws a fastball. It's high and inside for ball one.

1635
02:39:14,000 --> 02:39:20,000
Don Mossie comes down with the next delivery of fastballs swung on by Wiley-Lockman and popped up off the right field line.

1636
02:39:20,000 --> 02:39:25,000
Going deep behind first base is Vic Wurtz in foul territory and takes it for the out.

1637
02:39:25,000 --> 02:39:30,000
And before we have the next man up Alvin Darkwitz for us ten seconds for station identification.

1638
02:39:30,000 --> 02:39:33,000
This is Mutual the radio network for all America.

1639
02:39:33,000 --> 02:39:45,000
WGN your exclusive World Series station in Chicago.

1640
02:39:45,000 --> 02:39:49,000
The Redwood City California left-hander Don Mossie on the mound now for Cleveland.

1641
02:39:49,000 --> 02:39:55,000
Kicks and throws to Alvin Dark. Sends a curve through there but low for ball one.

1642
02:39:55,000 --> 02:40:04,000
Alvin Dark has one hit three times up.

1643
02:40:04,000 --> 02:40:18,000
Comes down with his one-hander delivery and Dark takes a fastball forward in over the shins for ball two.

1644
02:40:18,000 --> 02:40:22,000
Mossie a very deliberate worker hides that ball behind his back.

1645
02:40:22,000 --> 02:40:26,000
Regular season he won six and lost one. Very few starts.

1646
02:40:26,000 --> 02:40:30,000
Dark slugs at the next pitcher hits a high foul ball coming back near the screen.

1647
02:40:30,000 --> 02:40:34,000
Lances off the screen and down onto the playing field.

1648
02:40:34,000 --> 02:40:37,000
So that means that Alvin's count is two balls one strike.

1649
02:40:37,000 --> 02:40:42,000
Mossie in the regular season pitched no shutouts. He pitched in 40 ball games two of them complete.

1650
02:40:42,000 --> 02:40:47,000
Struck out 54. Gave up 39 bases on balls. Surrendered 56 base hits.

1651
02:40:47,000 --> 02:40:52,000
Had an in-run average of 1.94 and that's pretty sharp.

1652
02:40:52,000 --> 02:40:57,000
The left-hander pours a fastball into Alvin Dark and it's high and outside for ball three.

1653
02:40:57,000 --> 02:41:10,000
Three and one. Don Mossie pitching now for Cleveland.

1654
02:41:10,000 --> 02:41:13,000
Comes down again with a fastball and Dark leans into it and doesn't offer.

1655
02:41:13,000 --> 02:41:22,000
Costs him it's over. Count is three and two.

1656
02:41:22,000 --> 02:41:26,000
Mossie after the Rosenberg looks down to Dark.

1657
02:41:26,000 --> 02:41:30,000
The way these clouds are moving over here at the Polo grounds here's a three-two pitch.

1658
02:41:30,000 --> 02:41:33,000
Swung on by Dark and laced right to Bobby Avila.

1659
02:41:33,000 --> 02:41:37,000
Line drive to the second baseman for out number two.

1660
02:41:37,000 --> 02:41:44,000
I have to say here the way these shadows are moving around over the playing field gives you a sort of a weird eerie feeling.

1661
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:50,000
So someone with a big spotlight shining through the clouds at intervals.

1662
02:41:50,000 --> 02:41:53,000
Now Mossie to face Don Mueller.

1663
02:41:53,000 --> 02:41:57,000
Don is open three this afternoon bounce out to the second base.

1664
02:41:57,000 --> 02:42:02,000
First time up takes a curve this time high for ball one.

1665
02:42:02,000 --> 02:42:05,000
Don fly to right field in the fourth and fight out the center field in the sixth.

1666
02:42:05,000 --> 02:42:09,000
So three choke hitter widespread stance at the plate.

1667
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:15,000
Mossie comes in with an overhand fastball and Mueller punches a foul off to the left of the plate back into the stands.

1668
02:42:15,000 --> 02:42:18,000
One ball one strike on Don Mueller. Two down last half of the eighth.

1669
02:42:18,000 --> 02:42:23,000
There are no baserunners. The Giants leading three to one.

1670
02:42:23,000 --> 02:42:29,000
Darkness is starting to settle down here over Gotham.

1671
02:42:29,000 --> 02:42:31,000
Mossie pumps kicks and throws.

1672
02:42:31,000 --> 02:42:45,000
Fastball Mueller again slaps a foul. This one up to the facade of the left field line bounces down into the customers.

1673
02:42:45,000 --> 02:42:49,000
Cleveland infield now with Sam Denny at shortstop as Vic Warts at first.

1674
02:42:49,000 --> 02:42:52,000
Bobby Avila at second. Sam Denny at short.

1675
02:42:52,000 --> 02:42:54,000
Bertie Regalado with third.

1676
02:42:54,000 --> 02:42:57,000
Mossie delivers an overhand flat up curve ball. Swung on hit right back to the mound.

1677
02:42:57,000 --> 02:43:02,000
Yes he's got it. Fires over to first base to Vic Warts and it's in time for the off.

1678
02:43:02,000 --> 02:43:08,000
Slight collision between Mueller and Warts but neither man happens to be even shaken up.

1679
02:43:08,000 --> 02:43:12,000
So that's the third out here for the Giants in the eighth. They have nothing to cross.

1680
02:43:12,000 --> 02:43:20,000
And the score at the end of the eighth inning is the New York Giants three. The Cleveland Indians one.

1681
02:43:20,000 --> 02:43:27,000
Look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp and listen mister how are your picks for blades?

1682
02:43:27,000 --> 02:43:31,000
Do you have baby how are your picks for blades? You better check.

1683
02:43:31,000 --> 02:43:34,000
Please make sure you have enough.

1684
02:43:34,000 --> 02:43:38,000
Cause a worn out blade makes shaving mighty tough.

1685
02:43:38,000 --> 02:43:45,000
How are your picks for blades? Better look to let the blades we need.

1686
02:43:45,000 --> 02:43:57,000
You know we're continually thumbing through the Gillette World Series record book and well I'd like to appraise you of one thing we've come up with.

1687
02:43:57,000 --> 02:44:05,000
Only once has a team ever lost the first two games and come back to take the World Series.

1688
02:44:05,000 --> 02:44:12,000
That was in 1921 when the New York Giants did it as you'll see.

1689
02:44:12,000 --> 02:44:17,000
1921 the Giants did it. They lost two games and then came back to win the series.

1690
02:44:17,000 --> 02:44:21,000
You pick out all kinds of information in this little book.

1691
02:44:21,000 --> 02:44:28,000
Now the top of the ninth inning and the first man up here for Cleveland will be their leadoffer Al Smith who punched a home run.

1692
02:44:28,000 --> 02:44:30,000
The leadoff the ball game.

1693
02:44:30,000 --> 02:44:35,000
Let's see for the New York Giants as it now stands three runs four hits.

1694
02:44:35,000 --> 02:44:41,000
No errors they have stranded only three men this afternoon. Check me on those totals Jimmy.

1695
02:44:41,000 --> 02:44:45,000
Three runs four hits no errors three men left.

1696
02:44:45,000 --> 02:44:50,000
Let's see for the Cleveland Indians they have one run on a total of six hits off Antonelli.

1697
02:44:50,000 --> 02:44:54,000
They've committed no errors and they have stranded a total of 11.

1698
02:44:54,000 --> 02:44:59,000
And the first pitch here to Smith is low outside for ball one.

1699
02:44:59,000 --> 02:45:03,000
So we've gotten the top of the ninth inning started with Johnny Antonelli working to Al Smith.

1700
02:45:03,000 --> 02:45:06,000
He's had one hit and three tries that was his home run.

1701
02:45:06,000 --> 02:45:11,000
Fastball to him is inside off the knees for ball two.

1702
02:45:16,000 --> 02:45:19,000
Antonelli taking a sign from Weston.

1703
02:45:21,000 --> 02:45:25,000
Johnny pumps. Rears back and delivers fastball.

1704
02:45:25,000 --> 02:45:27,000
It's five right through off the belt buckle.

1705
02:45:27,000 --> 02:45:30,000
A strike one two balls and one strike.

1706
02:45:30,000 --> 02:45:34,000
So the time goes short for the Cleveland Indians.

1707
02:45:34,000 --> 02:45:37,000
They have three outs left to them to try to do something about a two run deficit.

1708
02:45:37,000 --> 02:45:40,000
Three to one in favor of the Giants.

1709
02:45:43,000 --> 02:45:46,000
Smith waggles that bat back and forth puts it on his shoulders.

1710
02:45:46,000 --> 02:45:47,000
Antonelli comes in with the fastball.

1711
02:45:47,000 --> 02:45:49,000
Swung on hit right back off the leg of Johnny Antonelli.

1712
02:45:49,000 --> 02:45:52,000
Dark comes in picks up their hand throws the first nut in time.

1713
02:45:52,000 --> 02:45:55,000
Smith sliding in the first base is there.

1714
02:45:55,000 --> 02:45:57,000
That was a hard smash off the leg of Johnny Antonelli.

1715
02:45:57,000 --> 02:45:59,000
Ripped right back through the middle.

1716
02:45:59,000 --> 02:46:04,000
So that'll go as a base hit for Al Smith to open the ninth inning.

1717
02:46:07,000 --> 02:46:11,000
That's the seventh hit given up now by Antonelli.

1718
02:46:11,000 --> 02:46:17,000
And it could be that the Indians are cooking something up in the teepee.

1719
02:46:18,000 --> 02:46:20,000
Bobby Avila for his base hit Hungry today.

1720
02:46:20,000 --> 02:46:24,000
He's gone over three walked one time.

1721
02:46:24,000 --> 02:46:25,000
That was his last time up.

1722
02:46:25,000 --> 02:46:28,000
Prior to that he'd gone over three.

1723
02:46:28,000 --> 02:46:30,000
Coming up very quickly.

1724
02:46:30,000 --> 02:46:34,000
The knuckleballer gets up and starts throwing in a giant bullpen.

1725
02:46:34,000 --> 02:46:36,000
That was a signal.

1726
02:46:36,000 --> 02:46:38,000
An alarming one.

1727
02:46:38,000 --> 02:46:41,000
Antonelli looks down at Bobby Avila.

1728
02:46:41,000 --> 02:46:43,000
This guy Smith at first base can really move.

1729
02:46:43,000 --> 02:46:46,000
He can pick him up and lay him down.

1730
02:46:46,000 --> 02:46:50,000
Down comes the pitch to Avila and he strides into a curve and doesn't offer.

1731
02:46:50,000 --> 02:46:51,000
Down in the bullpen.

1732
02:46:51,000 --> 02:46:54,000
Who do you think is starting to throw for Cleveland?

1733
02:46:54,000 --> 02:46:55,000
Rapid rubber.

1734
02:46:55,000 --> 02:46:59,000
Bob Feller.

1735
02:46:59,000 --> 02:47:02,000
Remember when he had that blazing fastball of his?

1736
02:47:02,000 --> 02:47:07,000
Sports World was talking about how the young fellow from Bend, Nicaragua could rear back and pour it in.

1737
02:47:07,000 --> 02:47:09,000
So he pitches now with his head.

1738
02:47:09,000 --> 02:47:11,000
And his heart.

1739
02:47:11,000 --> 02:47:13,000
There's a soak curve swung on by Avila and hit foul.

1740
02:47:13,000 --> 02:47:21,000
Down the third base line to run his count to one and one.

1741
02:47:21,000 --> 02:47:27,000
Two ball in play to Antonelli.

1742
02:47:27,000 --> 02:47:31,000
Scott Feller warming up the bullpen for Cleveland.

1743
02:47:31,000 --> 02:47:36,000
Certainly been an asset to that ball club this year.

1744
02:47:36,000 --> 02:47:39,000
Now Antonelli ready to pitch to Avila on the one-one count.

1745
02:47:39,000 --> 02:47:41,000
Al Smith leading off at first with nobody down.

1746
02:47:41,000 --> 02:47:42,000
Top of the ninth.

1747
02:47:42,000 --> 02:47:44,000
Three to one in the Giants.

1748
02:47:44,000 --> 02:47:46,000
Pitch and plate swung on by Avila and hit foul.

1749
02:47:46,000 --> 02:47:53,000
Back to the screen.

1750
02:47:53,000 --> 02:48:02,000
The last three or four years, somebody comes up trying to ring the death knell for Bob Feller in the pitching department.

1751
02:48:02,000 --> 02:48:08,000
They tried to do it again this spring, but he posted a record of 13 wins for Cleveland this year against three defeats.

1752
02:48:08,000 --> 02:48:13,000
That's pretty fair country pitching.

1753
02:48:13,000 --> 02:48:17,000
Now the one ball in two strike pitch to Bobby Avila.

1754
02:48:17,000 --> 02:48:21,000
Antonelli nods in accord with the sign offered by Westrom.

1755
02:48:21,000 --> 02:48:22,000
Smith leads off at first.

1756
02:48:22,000 --> 02:48:23,000
Not too big a lead.

1757
02:48:23,000 --> 02:48:24,000
In comes the pitch.

1758
02:48:24,000 --> 02:48:27,000
Avila swings and there's a line shot hit in left field for a base lap.

1759
02:48:27,000 --> 02:48:33,000
Smith goes down to second to hold on and the tying runs are on for Cleveland.

1760
02:48:33,000 --> 02:48:37,000
Bobby Avila wraps one through the hole between short and third and into left field.

1761
02:48:37,000 --> 02:48:40,000
Smith playing it safe, goes down to second and holds up.

1762
02:48:40,000 --> 02:48:42,000
Hit number eight off Antonelli.

1763
02:48:42,000 --> 02:48:46,000
And look at that well-howned thrown out in the bullpen for the Giants now.

1764
02:48:46,000 --> 02:48:48,000
He's really heating up.

1765
02:48:48,000 --> 02:48:54,000
Time is called for the minute while Alvin Dark comes in to say something to his pitcher, then says something to Whitey Lockman.

1766
02:48:54,000 --> 02:48:58,000
A conference between Johnny Antonelli and West Westrom.

1767
02:48:58,000 --> 02:49:03,000
Alejo D'Orocha comes to the top of the dugout steps and holds up one finger.

1768
02:49:03,000 --> 02:49:06,000
Of course that's some sign language to the Giants.

1769
02:49:06,000 --> 02:49:11,000
Of course we couldn't begin to interpret it.

1770
02:49:11,000 --> 02:49:16,000
Johnny Antonelli got himself a peck of trouble here in the top of the ninth inning.

1771
02:49:16,000 --> 02:49:19,000
The tying runs are on for the Cleveland Indians.

1772
02:49:19,000 --> 02:49:21,000
First and second.

1773
02:49:21,000 --> 02:49:23,000
Both of them are fast men and they can move.

1774
02:49:23,000 --> 02:49:27,000
And this guy up at the plate, Larry Doby, can hit that ball a country mile.

1775
02:49:27,000 --> 02:49:30,000
Left hand hitter.

1776
02:49:30,000 --> 02:49:31,000
Doby's hole for four.

1777
02:49:31,000 --> 02:49:34,000
Swings on the first pitch and fouls it right back to the screen.

1778
02:49:34,000 --> 02:49:44,000
Antonelli fed him the fastball.

1779
02:49:44,000 --> 02:49:47,000
Doby back to dry his hands as he picks up a double handful of dirt.

1780
02:49:47,000 --> 02:49:49,000
Now steps up with that left foot forward.

1781
02:49:49,000 --> 02:49:54,000
Gets his stance set well at the plate. Gets his spikes ground in.

1782
02:49:54,000 --> 02:49:56,000
Got a bend slightly to the knees.

1783
02:49:56,000 --> 02:49:57,000
A lot of tension.

1784
02:49:57,000 --> 02:49:59,000
A lot of pressure on his shoulders right now.

1785
02:49:59,000 --> 02:50:02,000
The runners taking their leads at first and second.

1786
02:50:02,000 --> 02:50:05,000
That's what I must call for the moment while Antonelli backs off the mound,

1787
02:50:05,000 --> 02:50:08,000
chases the runners back in and Doby gets himself set.

1788
02:50:08,000 --> 02:50:11,000
Now Antonelli comes up to the rubber to the top of the stretch.

1789
02:50:11,000 --> 02:50:18,000
Heels off a curve and an attempted bump by Larry Doby who's fouled off to the left of the plate.

1790
02:50:18,000 --> 02:50:21,000
So that was to be Al Lopez's surprise move.

1791
02:50:21,000 --> 02:50:24,000
Got the runners along, both of them in scoring position.

1792
02:50:24,000 --> 02:50:28,000
They're expecting of course Larry Doby to be swinging away.

1793
02:50:28,000 --> 02:50:33,000
That's a far house hitter.

1794
02:50:33,000 --> 02:50:37,000
That attempted bump being fouled off runs his count to strike two and a big danger of that run has been taken off.

1795
02:50:37,000 --> 02:50:43,000
Although it has been taken off, Thompson is not going to be going too deep there at third base.

1796
02:50:43,000 --> 02:50:47,000
He's going to stay up almost on the base pass.

1797
02:50:47,000 --> 02:50:52,000
Right side of infield playing deep in the event that Doby should swing away and not go after one.

1798
02:50:52,000 --> 02:50:56,000
Although the big danger of the bunt has gone off.

1799
02:50:56,000 --> 02:51:00,000
Antonelli in a squeeze here in the top of the ninth inning.

1800
02:51:00,000 --> 02:51:02,000
Hooks back at his runners.

1801
02:51:02,000 --> 02:51:04,000
Doby takes a pitch high over the cap.

1802
02:51:04,000 --> 02:51:08,000
That's ball one.

1803
02:51:08,000 --> 02:51:11,000
One ball and two strikes.

1804
02:51:11,000 --> 02:51:16,000
Right here's the situation everybody where a ball game can change in the twinkling of an eyelash.

1805
02:51:16,000 --> 02:51:25,000
The sun breaks out now and starts to cast those weird shadows down by third base and out in left field.

1806
02:51:25,000 --> 02:51:27,000
Down comes the pitch, sidearm curved.

1807
02:51:27,000 --> 02:51:28,000
Doby takes it.

1808
02:51:28,000 --> 02:51:29,000
Sidearm is outside.

1809
02:51:29,000 --> 02:51:31,000
That's ball two.

1810
02:51:31,000 --> 02:51:35,000
And if you recall the sun was shining brilliantly for Cleveland in the first inning.

1811
02:51:35,000 --> 02:51:37,000
One Smith let off with his home run.

1812
02:51:37,000 --> 02:51:43,000
Then it darkened up and since that time it's been playing hide and seek with us.

1813
02:51:43,000 --> 02:51:45,000
Right now the sun is out.

1814
02:51:45,000 --> 02:51:48,000
Not a lot of it but we have it here.

1815
02:51:48,000 --> 02:51:50,000
Runners at first and second for Cleveland.

1816
02:51:50,000 --> 02:51:51,000
Nobody out top of the ninth inning.

1817
02:51:51,000 --> 02:51:53,000
Both men on the bases can fly.

1818
02:51:53,000 --> 02:51:54,000
Smith and Avila.

1819
02:51:54,000 --> 02:51:55,000
Down comes the pitch.

1820
02:51:55,000 --> 02:52:04,000
Doby swings and misses on a fast ball to strike three.

1821
02:52:04,000 --> 02:52:07,000
Johnny Antonelli poured it in there for his ninth strikeout.

1822
02:52:07,000 --> 02:52:12,000
Pours the fast ball to Doby.

1823
02:52:12,000 --> 02:52:15,000
Three times he has struck out Doby.

1824
02:52:15,000 --> 02:52:17,000
Say we're going to check up on those strikeouts here.

1825
02:52:17,000 --> 02:52:29,000
That's to make absolutely certain.

1826
02:52:29,000 --> 02:52:31,000
Odd but nice.

1827
02:52:31,000 --> 02:52:32,000
Check me gentlemen.

1828
02:52:32,000 --> 02:52:36,000
Nine strikeouts for Johnny Antonelli.

1829
02:52:36,000 --> 02:52:39,000
Now coming up to the plate is Rudy Arregolado.

1830
02:52:39,000 --> 02:52:43,000
For his first at bat he took over for Al Rose and ran for him if you recall back in the seventh inning.

1831
02:52:43,000 --> 02:52:46,000
And then came in on the bottom of the seventh and played third base.

1832
02:52:46,000 --> 02:52:48,000
So Arregolado is coming in.

1833
02:52:48,000 --> 02:52:50,000
Getting right handed.

1834
02:52:50,000 --> 02:52:51,000
First pitch to him is a curve ball.

1835
02:52:51,000 --> 02:52:53,000
Arregolado swings on, hits it down to Alvin Dark.

1836
02:52:53,000 --> 02:52:55,000
He picks up flows to David Williams for one at second to throw first.

1837
02:52:55,000 --> 02:52:56,000
Not in time.

1838
02:52:56,000 --> 02:53:01,000
Not in time.

1839
02:53:01,000 --> 02:53:04,000
So Arregolado is the baserunner at first base.

1840
02:53:04,000 --> 02:53:06,000
He too is fast.

1841
02:53:06,000 --> 02:53:10,000
Bobby Avila forced from short to second at second base.

1842
02:53:10,000 --> 02:53:12,000
Ball to second out.

1843
02:53:12,000 --> 02:53:13,000
Al Smith moving on over to third.

1844
02:53:13,000 --> 02:53:15,000
So the tying runs are still on for Cleveland.

1845
02:53:15,000 --> 02:53:20,000
And here's Vic Wirtz.

1846
02:53:20,000 --> 02:53:26,000
Well Vic Wirtz has been the big siege gun.

1847
02:53:26,000 --> 02:53:30,000
But everybody I'd just like to say that after the last man is out,

1848
02:53:30,000 --> 02:53:33,000
be sure to stand by for Bill Corms' summary and highlights of today's game.

1849
02:53:33,000 --> 02:53:35,000
He should have a lot of them for us.

1850
02:53:35,000 --> 02:53:37,000
One of the really great students of baseball, Bill,

1851
02:53:37,000 --> 02:53:48,000
will show you the wrap up of the day's play in his own wonderful way.

1852
02:53:48,000 --> 02:53:49,000
Anthony ready now.

1853
02:53:49,000 --> 02:53:51,000
Pitches to Vic Wirtz hitting left handed.

1854
02:53:51,000 --> 02:53:53,000
The fastball is outside for ball one.

1855
02:53:53,000 --> 02:53:56,000
Have you noticed everybody that in the World Series play so far,

1856
02:53:56,000 --> 02:54:00,000
we've had no double plays and have been quite a few of them tried.

1857
02:54:00,000 --> 02:54:04,000
But they haven't quite been able to complete them.

1858
02:54:04,000 --> 02:54:06,000
Cleveland's still alive and kicking here in the top of the ninth inning.

1859
02:54:06,000 --> 02:54:07,000
Have the tying runs on.

1860
02:54:07,000 --> 02:54:10,000
Vic Wirtz, the guy who was the big gun yesterday for Cleveland,

1861
02:54:10,000 --> 02:54:12,000
is up there to play right now.

1862
02:54:12,000 --> 02:54:16,000
This afternoon he's had one base hit and two official times up.

1863
02:54:16,000 --> 02:54:20,000
Swings on the pitch, fastball and doesn't get it.

1864
02:54:20,000 --> 02:54:24,000
Antonelli fed him one just under the letters.

1865
02:54:24,000 --> 02:54:27,000
One ball, one strike is a count on Victor Wirtz.

1866
02:54:27,000 --> 02:54:40,000
Right now batting at 714.

1867
02:54:40,000 --> 02:54:42,000
Tension and pressure mounting here with every pitch.

1868
02:54:42,000 --> 02:54:45,000
Johnny Antonelli knows the importance of every pitch he's making.

1869
02:54:45,000 --> 02:54:49,000
Looks over at third base, sees Al Smith stepping off.

1870
02:54:49,000 --> 02:54:51,000
Looks at first to Regalado who can move also.

1871
02:54:51,000 --> 02:54:58,000
Second is open, two down, top of the ninth.

1872
02:54:58,000 --> 02:55:01,000
Now Antonelli gets set.

1873
02:55:01,000 --> 02:55:03,000
One-one delivery to Vic Wirtz.

1874
02:55:03,000 --> 02:55:06,000
Down it comes, overhand fastball, swing on again and missed.

1875
02:55:06,000 --> 02:55:08,000
Four, strike two.

1876
02:55:08,000 --> 02:55:11,000
Antonelli just rearing back and cutting it loose.

1877
02:55:11,000 --> 02:55:14,000
Time is called for the moment by catcher West Western.

1878
02:55:14,000 --> 02:55:16,000
He goes out to the plate to talk with, out to the mound,

1879
02:55:16,000 --> 02:55:19,000
from the plate to talk with Johnny Antonelli.

1880
02:55:19,000 --> 02:55:21,000
Looking back over the men left on here this afternoon,

1881
02:55:21,000 --> 02:55:24,000
Cleveland has left 11 on.

1882
02:55:24,000 --> 02:55:27,000
They have two on now and they left 13 on yesterday.

1883
02:55:27,000 --> 02:55:31,000
The record for men left on by a single club in a ball game

1884
02:55:31,000 --> 02:55:40,000
in the World Series of Memory serves me rightly, is 14.

1885
02:55:40,000 --> 02:55:44,000
Now Antonelli ready to come in there one and two to Vic Wirtz.

1886
02:55:44,000 --> 02:55:47,000
It's the last chance here for Cleveland.

1887
02:55:47,000 --> 02:55:51,000
Antonelli delivers a sidearm curve, low and outside as he tried his crossbar.

1888
02:55:51,000 --> 02:56:04,000
That's ball two.

1889
02:56:04,000 --> 02:56:06,000
Antonelli mucking around at the mound.

1890
02:56:06,000 --> 02:56:12,000
Once again, Westrom calls for time to go out and see if his pitcher's all right.

1891
02:56:12,000 --> 02:56:16,000
Let's see, Cleveland with one run, eight hits, have committed no errors.

1892
02:56:16,000 --> 02:56:19,000
And they're battling here in the ninth inning, trying to overcome the two-run lead

1893
02:56:19,000 --> 02:56:21,000
the Giants now possess.

1894
02:56:21,000 --> 02:56:23,000
Giants leading three to one.

1895
02:56:23,000 --> 02:56:25,000
They have three runs and only four hits.

1896
02:56:25,000 --> 02:56:27,000
They got all four of them off early win.

1897
02:56:27,000 --> 02:56:31,000
They went seven innings.

1898
02:56:31,000 --> 02:56:33,000
Now Victor Wirtz has the count of two and two.

1899
02:56:33,000 --> 02:56:36,000
Antonelli's ready, checks his runners, delivers an overhand fastball,

1900
02:56:36,000 --> 02:56:38,000
which swings and foul-tips it right back into the mask.

1901
02:56:38,000 --> 02:56:40,000
Oh, Plain Empire Charlie Berry.

1902
02:56:40,000 --> 02:56:42,000
That sort of shook Charlie up a little bit.

1903
02:56:42,000 --> 02:56:44,000
Said he wants to see that ball.

1904
02:56:44,000 --> 02:56:46,000
Takes it out of play.

1905
02:56:46,000 --> 02:56:50,000
That hit in the mask so hard, it sort of turned it to the right.

1906
02:56:50,000 --> 02:56:53,000
Cap and mask and all.

1907
02:56:53,000 --> 02:57:00,000
So it's no kid's chore behind that play, either for the catcher or for the umpire.

1908
02:57:00,000 --> 02:57:02,000
New ball in play to Johnny Antonelli.

1909
02:57:02,000 --> 02:57:07,000
Count remaining on Victor Wirtz, two balls and two strikes, two on, two outs, top of the ninth.

1910
02:57:07,000 --> 02:57:09,000
Three to one in favor of the Giants.

1911
02:57:09,000 --> 02:57:12,000
This ballgame going right down to the wire, just the way it was expected to go

1912
02:57:12,000 --> 02:57:18,000
ever since we found out that Cleveland and New York were going to play in this one.

1913
02:57:18,000 --> 02:57:22,000
Antonelli out there, bowing his neck trying to get out of this.

1914
02:57:22,000 --> 02:57:24,000
Ready to pitch to Wirtz. Comes in with an overhand fastball.

1915
02:57:24,000 --> 02:57:32,000
Wirtz leans back to take it inside for ball three.

1916
02:57:32,000 --> 02:57:35,000
Well, Mr. Dudley, it's really come down to the wire now, hasn't it?

1917
02:57:35,000 --> 02:57:39,000
Boy, this is a tense moment, Al. This is what fans dream about.

1918
02:57:39,000 --> 02:57:41,000
Well, they don't have to dream about this one.

1919
02:57:41,000 --> 02:57:44,000
This is reality. It's right here.

1920
02:57:44,000 --> 02:57:48,000
Three and two on Victor Wirtz.

1921
02:57:48,000 --> 02:57:51,000
Two men on, two outs for Cleveland, top half of the ninth inning.

1922
02:57:51,000 --> 02:57:57,000
And it's all up to the guy wearing number 23, Victor Wirtz, who can slug that ball when he gets a hold of it.

1923
02:57:57,000 --> 02:58:00,000
He proved that yesterday, he's proved it all season long.

1924
02:58:00,000 --> 02:58:02,000
John Antonelli breaks back off the rubber.

1925
02:58:02,000 --> 02:58:07,000
Under runners, Regalado at first and Smith at third, move back in.

1926
02:58:07,000 --> 02:58:12,000
He comes up to inquire at some point of a play down by Charlie Barry.

1927
02:58:12,000 --> 02:58:14,000
They're talking it over.

1928
02:58:14,000 --> 02:58:22,000
John Antonelli ready to pitch now as Lopez turns and walks back to the Cleveland dugout.

1929
02:58:22,000 --> 02:58:29,000
Victor Wirtz coming up to the plate after having been off the side, steps in, puts the bat up on his left shoulder.

1930
02:58:29,000 --> 02:58:32,000
John Antonelli gets ready to pitch to him.

1931
02:58:32,000 --> 02:58:39,000
Looks the situation over, delivers an overhand fastball swing on as Regalado breaks from first and it's fouled right back to the screen.

1932
02:58:39,000 --> 02:58:43,000
So Regalado was making way for Victor Wirtz.

1933
02:58:43,000 --> 02:58:51,000
That ball caught up behind the screen up in the second tier and a fan crawled out on the overhanging ledge to pick it up.

1934
02:58:51,000 --> 02:58:56,000
So everybody, Victor Wirtz is still alive and kicking here in the ninth inning.

1935
02:58:56,000 --> 02:58:58,000
Smith steps off at third.

1936
02:58:58,000 --> 02:59:02,000
Regalado moves away from first there representing the tying runs for Cleveland.

1937
02:59:02,000 --> 02:59:04,000
Victor Wirtz up there at the count of three and two.

1938
02:59:04,000 --> 02:59:09,000
He's giving John Antonelli a bad time and Antonelli is trying to do the same for him.

1939
02:59:09,000 --> 02:59:12,000
Now John is ready. So is Vic Wirtz.

1940
02:59:12,000 --> 02:59:14,000
Down comes the pitch as the runner breaks. Again it's swung on.

1941
02:59:14,000 --> 02:59:19,000
There's a high foul ball spinning back to the top of the roof.

1942
02:59:19,000 --> 02:59:28,000
Oh, the count holds right on. Vic Wirtz at three and two.

1943
02:59:28,000 --> 02:59:31,000
Redcrest yells down from his first base coaching spot.

1944
02:59:31,000 --> 02:59:42,000
Tony Cucinello behind third. Both hooping it up trying to get Vic Wirtz to get a hold of one.

1945
02:59:42,000 --> 02:59:46,000
John Outfield around the right and deep.

1946
02:59:46,000 --> 02:59:48,000
Right side of the infield deep.

1947
02:59:48,000 --> 02:59:55,000
Regalado will be moving again from first on toward second when Antonelli pitches three-two to Vic Wirtz.

1948
02:59:55,000 --> 02:59:58,000
He's ready now and there's the throw to first base.

1949
02:59:58,000 --> 03:00:00,000
Almost got away from Whitey Lachlan.

1950
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:05,000
Whitey wasn't quite expecting it I don't believe.

1951
03:00:05,000 --> 03:00:09,000
Big ooh and an ah from the fans.

1952
03:00:09,000 --> 03:00:12,000
Regalado is playing real close.

1953
03:00:12,000 --> 03:00:15,000
He wasn't going to get too far away.

1954
03:00:15,000 --> 03:00:20,000
Vic Wirtz is back to visit the batter's rosin bag. Kicks him out of his spikes with the knee down to the bat.

1955
03:00:20,000 --> 03:00:25,000
Comes right back up there and digs in, gets his stance.

1956
03:00:25,000 --> 03:00:30,000
Johnny Antonelli ready to pitch to him. Three and two.

1957
03:00:30,000 --> 03:00:34,000
Johnny Sets delivers. Fastball swung on by Wirtz. Hit out into left field.

1958
03:00:34,000 --> 03:00:42,000
Mr. Rhodes comes over, gets under it. He's got it. The ball game is over.

1959
03:00:42,000 --> 03:00:46,000
It's all for Cleveland here in the top half of the ninth inning. No runs. There were two base hits.

1960
03:00:46,000 --> 03:00:50,000
No no errors. Two men were left on.

1961
03:00:50,000 --> 03:00:56,000
Well that's it. The Giants take the second one and that gives them two of two now.

1962
03:00:56,000 --> 03:01:03,000
The final score. The New York Giants three runs, four hits. No errors. They had three men left on.

1963
03:01:03,000 --> 03:01:08,000
For the Cleveland Indians one run, eight hits. No errors. They had 13 men left.

1964
03:01:08,000 --> 03:01:13,000
The winning pitcher is Johnny Antonelli. The losing pitcher is Early Wynt.

1965
03:01:13,000 --> 03:01:18,000
Now everybody, in just a moment, Bill Corm will review the highlights of today's game for you.

1966
03:01:18,000 --> 03:01:22,000
VIV makes you look so wonderful.

1967
03:01:22,000 --> 03:01:27,000
That's VIV. V-I-V. New VIV lipstick by Tony.

1968
03:01:27,000 --> 03:01:30,000
VIV makes you look so wonderful.

1969
03:01:30,000 --> 03:01:35,000
Yes, because VIV is a new kind of lipstick. Never before a lipstick so red.

1970
03:01:35,000 --> 03:01:41,000
No never before a lipstick so red. In six vivid red shades. From pink to plum.

1971
03:01:41,000 --> 03:01:45,000
One shade is redder than a fire engine. Another is redder than a rose.

1972
03:01:45,000 --> 03:01:48,000
Each new shade is more vivid than a rose.

1973
03:01:48,000 --> 03:01:51,000
Looks so wonderful.

1974
03:01:51,000 --> 03:01:55,000
That's VIV. V-I-V. New VIV lipstick by Tony.

1975
03:01:55,000 --> 03:01:58,000
VIV makes you look so wonderful.

1976
03:01:58,000 --> 03:02:04,000
Yes, because VIV is a new kind of lipstick. Never before a lipstick so red.

1977
03:02:04,000 --> 03:02:10,000
No never before a lipstick so red. In six vivid red shades. From pink to plum.

1978
03:02:10,000 --> 03:02:14,000
One shade is redder than a fire engine. Another is redder than a rose.

1979
03:02:14,000 --> 03:02:18,000
Each new shade is more vivid than reds have ever been before.

1980
03:02:18,000 --> 03:02:21,000
Because they have a new depth of color.

1981
03:02:21,000 --> 03:02:24,000
VIV makes you look so wonderful.

1982
03:02:24,000 --> 03:02:27,000
It makes you look and feel so vividly alive.

1983
03:02:27,000 --> 03:02:30,000
VIV makes you look so wonderful.

1984
03:02:30,000 --> 03:02:34,000
VIV stays on, yet keeps your lips soft, moist and smooth.

1985
03:02:34,000 --> 03:02:37,000
Because VIV is the comfortable long lasting lipstick.

1986
03:02:37,000 --> 03:02:41,000
See what VIV, the really vivid lipstick can do for you.

1987
03:02:41,000 --> 03:02:44,000
VIV makes you look so wonderful.

1988
03:02:44,000 --> 03:02:48,000
VIV. New VIV lipstick by Tony.

1989
03:02:50,000 --> 03:02:55,000
This is Bill Corb speaking and man, man, was that some finish.

1990
03:02:55,000 --> 03:02:58,000
Had your heart right up in your throat because

1991
03:02:58,000 --> 03:03:01,000
it could have been anybody's ballgame right down to the last pitch

1992
03:03:01,000 --> 03:03:06,000
with the mighty Vic Works who's been taking the giant pitchers apart, particularly yesterday.

1993
03:03:06,000 --> 03:03:11,000
And the big hitter in the series so far aside from Dusty Rhodes who's sensational.

1994
03:03:11,000 --> 03:03:17,000
And of course his last home run that he hit today

1995
03:03:17,000 --> 03:03:22,000
as different from the one that he hit yesterday, he needed no Chinese laundry ticket on that one.

1996
03:03:22,000 --> 03:03:26,000
That one hit the upper facade and it was really tattooed.

1997
03:03:26,000 --> 03:03:31,000
So in three trips to the plate this old fashioned pitch hitter, and that's Dusty Rhodes for sure,

1998
03:03:31,000 --> 03:03:35,000
he thinks he can hit anybody in the world, has driven in five runs

1999
03:03:35,000 --> 03:03:40,000
and that has made the difference for the Giants. That is offensively of course.

2000
03:03:40,000 --> 03:03:43,000
But today the story with me was Johnny Ananelli.

2001
03:03:43,000 --> 03:03:48,000
Great athlete, great pitcher, great boy, and he's going to be, is already,

2002
03:03:48,000 --> 03:03:52,000
one of the very best in the game, won 21 games for the Giants this year,

2003
03:03:52,000 --> 03:03:55,000
is their star pitcher and beat Captain Early Wind.

2004
03:03:55,000 --> 03:04:01,000
The number two ace are one of the big three, whichever way you want to make it, of the Indians.

2005
03:04:01,000 --> 03:04:04,000
And of course put the Giants in a very, very happy spot.

2006
03:04:04,000 --> 03:04:11,000
They've beaten both Bob Lemon, who Al Lopez got 23 Lemonades out of in the American League,

2007
03:04:11,000 --> 03:04:15,000
which is a lot of Lemonades from any Lemon, even as big a finer one as Bob.

2008
03:04:15,000 --> 03:04:18,000
They've beaten him and they've beaten Early Wind here today.

2009
03:04:18,000 --> 03:04:21,000
Win the veteran, the cagey old veteran pitching well,

2010
03:04:21,000 --> 03:04:26,000
headily and strong as Lemon did yesterday, but being outpitched a little bit,

2011
03:04:26,000 --> 03:04:30,000
not in hits, the Giants just made them count, but a little bit in the runs

2012
03:04:30,000 --> 03:04:34,000
where games are won and lost by this big, fine kid, Johnny Ananelli,

2013
03:04:34,000 --> 03:04:37,000
a bonus baby with the Braves as many of you know,

2014
03:04:37,000 --> 03:04:41,000
though he doesn't particularly like the word, and he's a real big leaguer now.

2015
03:04:41,000 --> 03:04:44,000
Nobody's going to have to keep him on any bonuses on any ball club.

2016
03:04:44,000 --> 03:04:49,000
Very odd thing about Ananelli, and perhaps everybody doesn't know it,

2017
03:04:49,000 --> 03:04:52,000
that makes him a great pitcher, and I got this from Wes Westrom,

2018
03:04:52,000 --> 03:04:54,000
the fellow that catches him, old iron Mike,

2019
03:04:54,000 --> 03:04:57,000
petty and smart as catchers come on his final receiver,

2020
03:04:57,000 --> 03:05:00,000
and hitting pretty well in this series, too he is.

2021
03:05:00,000 --> 03:05:05,000
He told me that most pitchers where they had to make a pitch,

2022
03:05:05,000 --> 03:05:11,000
as Ananelli did here when the last fly ball from works to left field,

2023
03:05:11,000 --> 03:05:14,000
they have just one great pitch to rely on.

2024
03:05:14,000 --> 03:05:17,000
This fella can throw you any one of his three,

2025
03:05:17,000 --> 03:05:21,000
and Westrom himself says he doesn't know which is the best of the three,

2026
03:05:21,000 --> 03:05:25,000
and by that I mean of course his fast ball, his curve, and his change up.

2027
03:05:25,000 --> 03:05:29,000
He can use any one in any tough spot in any given spot,

2028
03:05:29,000 --> 03:05:32,000
and it's just as good as the other according to Westrom.

2029
03:05:32,000 --> 03:05:36,000
So he was today a fine pitcher, and as we swing toward Cleveland,

2030
03:05:36,000 --> 03:05:40,000
and the World Series Cavalcade hits the road for that great city

2031
03:05:40,000 --> 03:05:44,000
where we'll play tomorrow, weather permitting, at Municipal Stadium,

2032
03:05:44,000 --> 03:05:47,000
Dusty Rhodes has been doing about all the hitting here.

2033
03:05:47,000 --> 03:05:54,000
He of course came up as a pitch hitter, and that was the 17th time in 47 trips to the plate

2034
03:05:54,000 --> 03:06:00,000
as a pitch hitter that he had gotten a hit, and of course that's great pitch hitting,

2035
03:06:00,000 --> 03:06:04,000
and you have to differentiate it from his home run, he wasn't a pitch hitter then,

2036
03:06:04,000 --> 03:06:07,000
of course he was in the game and played for Monte Ervin in left field,

2037
03:06:07,000 --> 03:06:11,000
and did play out there quite a part of the latter part of the season in left field.

2038
03:06:11,000 --> 03:06:16,000
But as a pitch hitter, 17 for 47, well that's really pitch hitting,

2039
03:06:16,000 --> 03:06:21,000
and I don't know a better way to describe him than to say that he is an old fashioned one

2040
03:06:21,000 --> 03:06:26,000
that walks up there just as sure as a lot of hard incidents and records in every World Series,

2041
03:06:26,000 --> 03:06:33,000
I'm sure never before have there been two home runs on two pitches,

2042
03:06:33,000 --> 03:06:36,000
such as we saw in last night's game with road hitting,

2043
03:06:36,000 --> 03:06:42,000
and then Al Smith walking up and getting Cleveland's only run today on the first pitch off Annanelli.

2044
03:06:42,000 --> 03:06:47,000
Well a great ball game, you know the Giants won 3-1, you know they lead the series 2-0,

2045
03:06:47,000 --> 03:06:51,000
and they're sitting in the honey-cheeks right now, whatever happens from now on.

2046
03:06:51,000 --> 03:06:56,000
Now this broadcast is authorized under broadcasting rights granted by the Commissioner of Baseball

2047

2050
03:07:07,000 --> 03:07:11,000
Tonight we want to thank our engineers, Gifford Campbell and Don McLean,

2051
03:07:11,000 --> 03:07:15,000
our statistician, practice to do low, and this program was directed and produced

2052
03:07:15,000 --> 03:07:19,000
under the supervision of mutual sports director, my good friend, Paul Jonas.

2053
03:07:19,000 --> 03:07:23,000
And don't forget tomorrow afternoon at Brumman at the stadium in Cleveland,

2054
03:07:23,000 --> 03:07:25,000
the third game of the World Series.

2055
03:07:25,000 --> 03:07:30,000
And fans tomorrow is another day, and let's be careful that the sports will be back on the air promptly

2056
03:07:30,000 --> 03:07:36,000
at 12.45 p.m. Eastern Standard Time to report the third game of the World Series for you

2057
03:07:36,000 --> 03:07:39,000
play-by-play from Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.

2058
03:07:39,000 --> 03:07:43,000
Until then, smooth sailing, smooth shaving, and good afternoon from your radio host,

2059
03:07:43,000 --> 03:07:47,000
the Gillette Safety Razor Company, and yours truly, Bill Cole.

2060
03:07:47,000 --> 03:08:07,000
For an outblade makes shaving mighty. How I am fixed for the day, better look to let the blades we need.
